We propose an aqueous rechargeable Zn-Cu Daniell-type battery. In this system, Li(+) prefers to conduct currents rather than react with the electrodes, while the Zn-Cu electrode couples engage in their electrochemical reactions free from conducting currents. Here Li(+) performs like a messenger and thus could be called the electrochemical messenger.

We discuss the structure of the effective Lagrangian for the (2,2) ZN orbifolds and the corresponding Calabi-Yau manifolds which are obtained by “blowing-up” the orbifold singularities. The method to “blow-up” such singularities is reviewed.’ Results are exact at the string tree-level. In particular the question of generating an intermediate scale MI in such models is addressed. It is shown tha...

Understanding Zn uptake dynamics is critical to rice grain Zn biofortification. Here we examined soil Zn availability and Zn uptake pathways as affected by genotype (high-grain Zn varieties IR69428 and IR68144), Zn fertilization and water management in two pot experiments. Results showed significant interactions (P < 0.05) between genotypes and Zn fertilization on DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaa...
