Phalaenopsis pollinia storage at sub-zero temperature and its pollen viability assessment

Information Storage in the Stochastic Ising Model at Zero Temperature

Most information systems store data by modifying the local state of matter, in the hope that atomic (or subatomic) local interactions would stabilize the state for a sufficiently long time, thereby allowing later recovery. In this work we initiate the study of information retention in locally-interacting systems. The evolution in time of the interacting particles is modeled via the stochastic I...

Effects of humidity and temperature on pollen viability of shahani dates

Decoherence at zero temperature

Most discussions of decoherence in the literature consider the high temperature regime but it is also known that, in the presence of dissipation, decoherence can occur even at zero temperature. Whereas most previous investigations all assumed initial decoupling of the quantum system and bath, we consider that the system and environment are entangled at all times. Here, we discuss decoherence fo...

Synthesis and Characterization of Zn3 (BTC)2 Nanoporous Sorbent and its Application for Hydrogen Storage at Ambient Temperature

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered an interesting option for hydrogen storage. These materials show an exceptional H2 uptake. Here, Zn3(BTC)2 as MOF was synthesized with a solvothermal method. The phase stability and microstructure of the Zn3(BTC)2 was characterized in terms of their properties and structures, using a number of analytical techniques including FT-IR, XRD, SEM, BET ...

Comparative evaluation of five different storage media and temperature effect on human periodontal ligament fibroblast viability

Introduction: Following dental avulsion, the immediate recommended treatment is tooth replantation to avoid adverse effects. Therefore, the tooth must be stored in a physiological storage medium to preserve the viability of the periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLF) cells during transportation to dental office. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of several storage media in preser...
