The objectives of this study were to assess the genotype (G) by environment (E) interaction of grain yield of durum wheat(Triticum durum Desf.) based on parametric models, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and joint linear regression models; and compare the relative efficiency of the two models in explaining the GE effects. Twenty-three genotypes were evaluated across ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 encodes two glycoproteins, gE and gI, that form a heterodimer on the surface of virions and infected cells. The gE-gI heterodimer has been implicated in cell-to-cell spread of virus and is a receptor for the Fc fragment of IgG. Previous studies localized the gE-gI-binding site on human IgG to a region near the interface between the C(H)2 and C(H)3 domains of Fc, whic...

Structural characterization by scanning tunneling microscopy and alkali low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy of Pt~100! surfaces covered by less than 0.5-ML Ge is reported. Despite bulk solubility of Ge in Pt, it was found that Ge remains on top of the Pt~100! surface as adatoms even after annealing to 1200 K. Furthermore, Pt adatoms produced by lifting of the Pt~100!-hex reconstruction in th...

The aim of this research is studying the effects of Ge-doped on CO adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of (6, 0) zigzag model of boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) by using DFT theory. For this purpose, eight models of CO adsorption on the surfaces of BNNTs are considered. At first step, all structures were optimized at B3LYP and 6-31G (d) standard base set and then the electronic structure,...

The enhanced diffusion of donor atoms, via a vacancy (V)-mechanism, severely affects the realization of ultrahigh doped regions in miniaturized germanium (Ge) based devices. In this work, we report a study about the effect of fluorine (F) on the diffusion of arsenic (As) in Ge and give insights on the physical mechanisms involved. With these aims we employed experiments in Ge co-implanted with ...

The reaction of germylone (L)Ge (1) [L = 3-Ad-1-{C((t)Bu) = N(Mes)}C3H4N2] with 1 equivalent of MeOTf afforded a germyliumylidene ion [(L)GeMe](+)OTf(-) (2), while reactions with M(CO)5(thf) (M = Cr, Mo, W) gave the corresponding germylone-metal complexes [(L)Ge]M(CO)5 (3-5). The former possesses a pyramidal Ge center, whereas the latter display a planar geometry around the Ge atom. Computation...
