Seagrass detritus can attract numerous invertebrates as it provides food and substrate within the meadow or in adjacent environments. Nonetheless, several factors could modify invertebrate response to this habitat. In study, we tested if epifaunal colonisation of Zostera noltei was related availability rather than whether colonising assemblages were similar according structural complexity. Litt...

Substrate noise generated by digital circuits on mixed-signal ICs can disturb the sensitiveanalog/RF circuits, such as Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), sharing the same substrate. This paperinvestigates the adverse impact of the substrate noise on a high frequency cascode LNA laid out on alightly doped substrate. By studying the major noise coupling mechanisms, a new and efficientmodeling method is p...

in this investigation, fluor-hydroxyapatite (fha) film was deposited on a titanium substrate by sol-gel method. triethyl phosphite, ammonium fluoride and calcium nitrate in ethanol solutions were used respectively as p, f and ca precursors. typical apatite structures were obtained for all coatings after dipping and subsequent heat treatment at 550, 700 and 800 ºc, the coating layers were invest...

a suitable diet and oviposition substrate are two basic needs for successful mass rearing of orius spp. and this may reduce their production costs. the effect of various foods containing eggs of ephestia kuehniella and sitotroga cerealella with various pollens were investigated on the biological parameters of o. albidipennis in the laboratory. moreover, survival, hatching rate and fecundity of ...

in this paper a new uwb textile slot antenna has been designed with high precision. this work aimed to makecloser steps towards real wearability by investigating the possibilities of designing wearable uwb antenna wheretextile materials are used for the substrate as well as the conducting parts of the designed antenna. the antenna iscomposed of three textile layers: the top and bottom are condu...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of irrigation frequency and substrates on some parameters of greenhouse tomato (cv. hamra) during 1381-1382 at research greenhouse of agriculture college, in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the experiment was based on split plots in the form of completely randomized design and in four replications. irrigation frequency in three levels of 12, 8...

the aim of this research was to study the in vitro effect of lavandula officinalis (leo) and origanum vulgare (oeo) essential oils on rumen fermentation using a concentrate type substrate (cts) and roughage type substrate (rts). six mehraban ewes were divided into 2 groups and fed a concentrate type or roughage type diet, and used as rumen fluid donors. each essential oil (eo) was evaluated sep...

From the synthetic point of view, organic synthesis via catalytic processes offers many benefits. Catalysis frequently obviates the excessive use of the activating reagents and associated tedious purification processes, thereby offering more environmentally benign synthetic processes. Furthermore, the specific activation mode of a catalyst allows for highly chemoselective transformations that a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the use and decomposition of reed leaves (Phragmites australis) by aquatic macroinvertebrates in a lake environment (Lake Balaton, Hungary). Natural and artificial leaves were exposed to separate the use of leaves as substrate and as food at different vertical positions. Although we recorded a low density of macroinvertebrates, mixed-effect models showed...

The understanding and realization of directional cell movement towards a harder region of a cell culture substrate surface, so-called mechanotaxis, might provide a solid basis for a functional artificial extracellular matrix, enabling manipulation and elucidation of cell motility. The photolithographic surface microelasticity patterning method was developed for fabricating a cell-adhesive hydro...
