Abstract Slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) involving proton transport remains the limiting factor for electrochemical performance of proton-conducting cathodes. To further reduce operating temperature protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs), developing triple-conducting cathodes with excellent is required. In this study, K-doped BaCo 0.4 Fe Zr 0.2 O 3− δ (BCFZ442) series were developed and used ...

Chiasma frequency was determined from total chiasma counts, and the distribution of these exchanges was determined by the ratio of proximal to distal chiasmata. No effect of trisomy IO could be demonstrated. Confirmation was obtained of earlier work showing more proximal and fewer distal chiasmata in K10 plants than in controls. However, diakinesis data failed to confirm the ability of KIO to i...

PURPOSE Squamous metaplasia is a pathologic process that frequently occurs in nonkeratinized stratified ocular surface epithelia. The mechanism for this occurrence is largely unknown except for vitamin A deficiency. METHODS Human limbal explants were cultured under airlift with or without p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor SB203580 or in a submerged manner for different dur...

In this paper, we describe NASA Ames Research Center's K10 rover as used in the 2006 Coordinated Field Demonstration at Meteor Crater, Arizona. We briefly discuss the control software architecture and describe a high dynamic range imaging system and panoramic display system used for the remote inspection of an EVA crew vehicle.

Depressed patients had risks of non-adherence to medication, which brought a big challenge for the control of tuberculosis (TB). The stigma associated with TB may be the reason for distress. This study aimed to assess the psychological distress among TB patients living in rural areas in China and to further explore the relation of experienced stigma to distress. This study was a cross-sectional...
