This article presents a novel method combining ion irradiation, in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and microchemistry analysis before/after irradiation, which allows to examine same microstructural areas throughout ion irradiation. A 12 wt% Cr Ferritic/Martensitic steel (HT9) was irradiated in the TEM to 1.17 x 10(20) ions.m(-2) at 440 degrees C...
Physical activity is important for health. However, there is a lack of literature related to the physical activity levels of adults living in urban villagers, which is a vulnerable population in China. The aim of this study is to compare the physical activity and sedentary behavior engagements between urban villagers...
A major achievement in research supported by the Kluane Lake Research Station was the recovery, in 2001–02, of a suite of cores from the icefields of the central St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, by teams of researchers from Canada, the United States, and Japan. This project led to the development of...
The genomes of five Cochliobolus heterostrophus strains, two Cochliobolus sativus strains, three additional Cochliobolus species (Cochliobolus victoriae, Cochliobolus carbonum, Cochliobolus miyabeanus), and closely related Setosphaeria turcica were sequenced at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI). The datasets were used to identify SNPs between strains and species, unique genomic regions, core secondary...
In this work, stainless steel wire cloth (SSWC) for metallic support was thermally treated to increase the adhesive strength of Al₂O₃ by improving superficial roughness. After coating Al₂O₃ on SSWC, Pt particles as a catalytic component were deposited on the Al₂O₃/SSWC. These supports and catalysts were characterized by N₂ gas...
In the eastern Qilian Shan, a flight of fluvial terraces developed along the Jinta River valley are deformed across the Nanying anticline. Four individual fluvial terraces are preserved at different elevations above the river, and higher terrace treads are draped by systematically thicker aeolian loess. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of...
We present molybdenum isotope and concentration data from 14 sites in the eastern Pacific from the
central California to the Peru margin. The environments studied have been chosen to represent a broad
range in oxidation-reduction (redox) potential, which provide a framework for the behavior of this redox-sensitive
element. Manganese-rich hemipelagic...
The regiodivergent O- to C- or N-carboxyl transfer of pyrazolyl carbonates is described, with DMAP giving preferential N-carboxylation and triazolinylidenes promoting selective C-carboxylation (both with up to >99 : 1 regioselectivity). An enantioselective O- to C-carboxyl variant using NHC catalysis is demonstrated (up to 92% ee), while mechanistic and DFT studies outline...
DNA methylation is a well-recognized epigenetic mechanism that has been the subject of a growing
body of literature typically focused on the identification and study of profiles of DNA methylation and their
association with human diseases and exposures. In recent years, a number of unsupervised clustering algorithms,
both parametric and...
The role of gold nanoparticles supported on ZnO in photocatalytic activity for dye degradation
was investigated. To do this, gold nanoparticles supported on ZnO (Au-ZnO) were prepared using a
simple co-precipitation method. The prepared nanocatalyst was characterized by high resolution
transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction, X-ray
photoelectron...
