topical application with 100, 200 and 300 ng/ml phytohormone salicyclic acid on commercial traits was analysed in bivoltine csr2, csr4 and csr2xcsr4 crossbreed races of the silkworm, bombyx mori l. the results showed that there was significant increase in larval weight female cocoon weight, male cocoon shell weight, and hatching percentage with 100 and 200 ng/ml, silkgland weight, female cocoon...

We present a new model and a novel loosely coupled partitioned numerical scheme modeling fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in blood flow allowing non-zero longitudinal displacement. Arterial walls are modeled by a linearly viscoelastic, cylindrical Koiter shell model capturing both radial and longitudinal displacement. Fluid flow is modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible, ...

Photoelectrochemical water splitting plays a key role in a promising path to the carbon-neutral generation of solar fuels. Wurzite GaN and its alloys (e.g., GaN/ZnO and InGaN) are demonstrated photocatalysts for water oxidation, and they can drive the overall water splitting reaction when coupled with co-catalysts for proton reduction. The present work investigates the water oxidation mechanism...

The development of highly efficient and stable photoelectrode materials is significant importance for the conversion solar energy into chemical fuels. Herein, a novel Ni@NiO/BiVO4 photoanode designed prepared water splitting by deposition Ni particles on surface BiVO4 with subsequent thermal treatment. integration Ni@NiO core–shell structure can efficiently passivate states accelerate oxygen ev...

We investigate the role of tensor correlation on the structures of He and its effect on the doublet splitting in He. We perform a configuration mixing calculation in the shell model type bases to represent the tensor correlation for He. It is found that our model describes the characteristics of the tensor correlation, which is represented by an admixture of the 0s1/2 configuration, especially,...

He(I) photoelectron spectroscopy was used to examine the valence-shell electronic structure of three new and seven previously known bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane derivatives, 1,3-Y2-C5X6 (for X = H, Y = H, Cl, Br, I, CN; for X = F, Y = H, Br, I, CN). A larger series (X = H or F, Y = H, F, Cl, Br, I, At, CN) has been studied computationally with the SAC-CI (symmetry-adapted cluster configuration interac...

In oxygenic photosynthesis, PSII carries out the oxidation of water and reduction of plastoquinone. The product of water oxidation is molecular oxygen. The water splitting complex is located on the lumenal side of the PSII reaction center and contains manganese, calcium, and chloride. Four sequential photooxidation reactions are required to generate oxygen from water; the five sequentially oxid...

The entrance channel leading to the addition reaction between the hydroxyl radical and acetylene has been examined by spectroscopic characterization of the asymmetric CH stretching band of the pi-hydrogen bonded OH-acetylene reactant complex. The infrared action spectrum observed at 3278.6 cm(-1) (origin) consists of seven peaks of various intensities and widths, and is very different from thos...
