Samples of CdTe single crystals which are used as radiation detectors were periodically measured during a long time interval with different values of an applied voltage. The samples were also periodically exposed during long time periods to high temperatures of 390 K and to rapid changes of temperature from 300 K to 390 K. After 1.5 years of measurements we observed ageing of the samples which ...

Isoniazid (INH) is one of the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Its effect on oxidative stress, however, is unknown. Here we used a model of oxidative stress by employing glucose/glucose oxidase (GOx), which (based on the availability of glucose and oxygen) is known to produce H2O2. This reaction induces oxidative stress culminating in necrotic cell death in HL-60 cells (a human promyelocytic...

We obtained genetic information on sexual reproduction of the Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale complex, a unicellular charophycean alga. Normalized cDNA libraries were constructed from cells in the sexual reproduction process, and a total of 1190 5'-end expressed sequence tags were established. Since 604 of these ESTs were classified into 174 non-redundant sequences, these 1190 ESTs i...

The gray crystalline hematite at Meridiani Planum first discovered by the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) instrument occurs as spherules that have been interpreted as concretions. Analysis of the TES and mini-TES spectra shows that no 390 cm−1 feature is present in the characteristic martian hematite spectrum. Here, we incorporate the mid-IR optical constants of hem...

The archives of the Ferrara Federation Italian Communist Party cover period from 1945 to 1991. Placed in Institute Contemporary History Ferrara, have a total 390 boxes, containing material that is intertwined with history and its province.

Adsorption of NO and the reaction between NO and H2 were investigated on the Ru(0001) surface by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface composition was measured after NO adsorption and after the selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with hydrogen in steady-state conditions at 320 K and 390 K in a 30:1 mixture of H2 and NO (total pressure = 10 4 mbar). After steady-state NO redu...

Subduction zones play critical roles in the recycling of oceanic lithosphere and the generation of continental crust. Seismic imaging can reveal structures associated with key dynamic processes occurring in the upper-mantle wedge above the sinking oceanic slab. Three-dimensional images of reflecting interfaces throughout the upper-mantle wedge above the subducting Tonga slab were obtained by mi...
