Respiration, which is the second most important carbon flux in ecosystems following gross primary productivity, is typically represented in biogeochemical models by simple temperature dependence equations. These equations were established in the 19th century and have been modified very little since then. Recent applications of these equations to data on soil respiration have produced highly var...

This study presents an experimental investigation of a single droplet with different impingement velocity impinge on the hydrophilic and superhydrophobic substrates under normal and icing temperature by using high-speed image and infrared image techniques. The aim is to better understand the unsteady heat transfer and transient icing process of the aircraft icing caused by the supercooled large...

in this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (co and fe) nano/ micro wires on silicon substrate. deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the si substrate. spin coated films were irradiated with 150mev ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8e7 ions/cm2, followed by uv irradiati...

Secondary active transport of substrate across the cell membrane is crucial to many cellular and physiological processes. The crystal structure of one member of the secondary active transporter family, the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) transporter (GlpT) of the inner membrane of Escherichia coli, suggests a mechanism for substrate translocation across the membrane that involves a rocker-switch-...

Highly transparent and conducting fluorine-doped ZnO (FZO) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, using 1.5 wt% zinc fluoride (ZnF2)-doped ZnO as sputtering target. Structural, electrical, and optical properties of the FZO thin films were investigated as a function of substrate temperature ranging from room temperature (RT) to 300°C. The cr...

Soil carbon is a major component in the global carbon cycle. Understanding the relationship between environmental changes and rates of soil respiration is critical for projecting changes in soil carbon fluxes in a changing climate. Although significant attention has been focused on the temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition, the factors that affect this temperature sensiti...

in this study, nickel-phosphorus coating was prepared by electrodeposition technique on the 304 stainless steel substrate. the effects of current density, phosphorous acid concentration, time and ph on the phosphorous content was investigated using taguchi method. a uniform amorphous-nanocrystalline structure (ni-12%p) was obtained. sem, eds, tem and xrd were used in order to study the surface ...
