In this study, the effects of metallic zinc (Zn) particles were studied to increase surface temperature on a solar-still absorber, which is major component increased production. Various concentrations Zn mixed in black paint and applied absorber plate. SEM XRD used examine confirm morphology phase identification as-received powder. UV-Vis spectroscopy was light-absorption properties. Finally, e...

In the process of hot-dip Zn-Al-Mg alloy coating, plating solution dissipates heat in direction perpendicular to steel plate, which is considered be a directional solidification. To understand relationship between microstructure and cooling rate alloys, both phase constitution characteristic length scales Zn-9.5Al-3Mg-0.01Ce (wt.%) were investigated by solidification experiments at different gr...

Aberrant zinc (Zn) homeostasis is associated with abnormal control of mammalian growth, although the molecular mechanisms of Zn's roles in regulating systemic growth remain to be clarified. Here we report that the cell membrane-localized Zn transporter SLC39A14 controls G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated signaling. Mice lacking Slc39a14 (Slc39a14-KO mice) exhibit growth retardation and ...

Large-area arrays of vertically aligned ZnO-nanotapers with tailored taper angle and height are electrodeposited on planar Zn-plate via continuously tuning the Zn(NH3)4(NO3)2 concentration in the electrolyte. Experimental measurements reveal that the field-emission performance of the ZnO-nanotaper arrays is enhanced with the sharpness and height of the ZnO-nanotapers. Theoretically, the ZnO-nan...

[1] In the Inner Basin of the Columbia Hills, Gusev Crater is Home Plate, an 80 m platform of layered clastic rocks of the Barnhill class with microscopic and macroscopic textures, including a bomb sag, suggestive of a phreatomagmatic origin. We present data acquired by the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover by Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS), Mössbauer Spectrometer, Miniature Thermal Emiss...
