Furthermore, a clear reduction in the leakage current and improved fatigue characteristics were observed for ZSO-doped SBT films preannealed at 400 degrees C. Such improved electrical properties as reduced dielectric constant, leakage current, and coercive field for the ZSO-doped SBT films will be very beneficial for the low voltage operations in metal-ferroelectric-insulator-Si

devices.”
“The biological activities and the determined major volatile components in the Magnolia grandiflora ARS-1620 supplier and M. virginiana flowers extracts were compared. Volatile components were detected in the essential oil by dynamic headspace sampling (HS). 2-Phenylethanol (40% and 61%) was found as the main constituent in the essential oil and HS samples of M. virginiana, respectively. In the M. grandiflora oil sample, (E,E)-farnesol (18%) and 2-phenylethanol STA-9090 datasheet (10%) were found as main constituents, whereas germacrene D (17%) and -bisabolene (17%) were the main components of the HS sample. The essential oil in M. virginiana displayed a moderate antioxidant activity relative to vitamin E, whereas both essential

oils were active against human lung carcinoma and breast carcinoma cell lines, even at concentrations higher than 200 mu gmL(-1).”
“Al doped p-type 6H silicon carbide was irradiated by low energy electrons to create primary defects. Two deep levels at E(V)+0.36 eV and E(V)+0.81 eV were created by this irradiation. Isochronal annealing study was carried out on the electron irradiated sample to investigate the annealing out of the two primary defects and the creation of thermal annealing-induced secondary defects. Four

more deep hole traps (0.45, 0.56, 0.74, and 0.71 eV above the valence band) were formed during the whole annealing process up to a temperature of 1600 degrees C. All the electron irradiated deep level defects were annealed out after the 1600 degrees C annealing.”
“This study assessed the production of a bacteriocin-like substance by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius S28, and evaluates its inhibitory effect against isolates of S. aureus from foods. All indicator isolates were sensitive to the substance produced from S. pseudintermedius S28, showing growth inhibition zones ranging from 14.2 to 28.3mm. The inhibitory VE-821 in vitro substance has no effect against the producer strain. The inhibitory substance was affected by proteolytic enzymes, while glycolytic and lipolytic enzymes had no effect, suggesting that the active substance could be considered as a bacteriocin-like substance. From these results, S. pseudintermedius S28 could be an interesting producer of a bacteriocin-like substance capable of strongly inhibiting S. aureus.”
“Traditionally shear thickening fluid (STF) reinforced with Kevlar has been used to develop flexible armor. At the core of the STF-Kevlar composites is a mixture of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and silica particles.
