The understanding of metal nucleation on graphene is essential for promising future applications, especially of magnetic metals which can be used in spintronics or computer storage media. A common method to study the grown morphology is to measure the nucleated island density n as a function of growth parameters. Surprisingly, the growth of Fe on graphene is found to be unusual because it does ...

(2012) A cautionary note on switching mtDNA reference sequences in forensic genetics. Assessing a novel room temperature DNA storage medium for forensic biological samples. of novel 'mini-amplicon' STR multiplexes to high volume casework on degraded skeletal remains. rates of nuclear STR typing from different skeletal elements. A highly effective DNA extraction method for nuclear STR testing of...

In this paper, we investigate a design of biological excitable media based on non-excitable cells and intercellular calcium signaling mechanisms. The calcium induced calcium release mechanism in non-excitable cells is exploited to transform the non-excitable cells into excitable media that propagate calcium signals cell-to-cell. The biological excitable media investigated in this paper represen...

background & aim: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success experimental: to evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for lippia micropropagation (1- ms medium supplemented with bap (3 mgl-1) + iba (0.1 mgl-1) + activated ch...

The effects of maternal n-6 and n-3 fatty acid (FA) supplementation on hatched chick tissue FA profile, antioxidant status, and ex vivo eicosanoid production by the cardiac tissue were investigated. Eggs with low, medium, and high levels of n-3 FA were obtained by feeding Cobb breeder hens were fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet containing 3.5% sunflower oil (low n-3), 1.75% sunflower oil plus ...

Today, people use a variety of digital devices, and events taking place in them are stored in specific forms mostly including data indicating when each event took place. So far, different methods have been constantly researched and developed to analyse various events, most of which analyse event data unnecessary for a forensic investigation. As a result, investigators should carry out additiona...

We demonstrate recording and reconstruction of multiple-computer-generated wavelength-multiplexed volume holograms in a holographic storage medium. The holograms display high selectivity, and their reconstruction process results in a convenient conversion of wavelength into angular multiplexing.

We study the dynamics of crystallization in phase-change materials using a master-equation approach in which the state of the crystallizing material is described by a cluster size distribution function. A model is developed using the thermodynamics of the processes involved and representing the clusters of size two and greater as a continuum but clusters of size one (monomers) as a separate equ...
