In this contribution, the Co doped SnO2 transparent semi-conducting films are prepared by spray pyrolysis technique and the influence of N2-and Ar-ambient annealing on their structural, electrical and optical properties are studied. The SnO2:Co thin films were deposited on the glass substrate at substrate temperature of 480 ˚C using an aqueous-ethanol solution consisting of tin and cobalt chlor...

Photoperiod influences the distribution of sleep and waking and electroencephalogram (EEG) power density in the Djungarian hamster. In an experimental procedure combining short photoperiod (SP) and low ambient temperature, the light-dark difference in the amount of sleep was decreased, and the changes in slow-wave activity (SWA) (mean EEG power density between 0.75 and 4.0 Hz) in nonrapid eye m...

Conventional storage of blood-derived fractions relies on cold. However, lately, ambient temperature preservation has been evaluated by several independent institutions that see economic and logistic advantages in getting rid of the cold chain. Here we validated a novel procedure for ambient temperature preservation of DNA in white blood cell and buffy coat lysates based on the confinement of t...

BACKGROUND During operation of a jet nebulizer, the temperature of the nebulizer outlet could decrease by more than 10 degrees C, depending on the nebulizer type and operating conditions, such as driving flow rate and fill volume. The droplet size distribution generated from the nebulizer can be measured by a cascade impactor. However, when the cascade impactor is operated at ambient room tempe...

(6) If we now assign T0 to be the undisturbed air temperature of the surroundings, p as the small perturbation in pressure due to an acoustic wave and P0 as the ambient pressure we can derive the change in temperature occurring with a passing acoustic wave. ∆T is very small and is approximately ±0.23C with a very high sound level of 140 dB(SPL), ambient temperature of 20C, and an ambient pressu...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to model the evaporation of a Lennard–Jones argon nanodroplet into its own vapor for a wide range of ambient temperatures and ambient pressures. The transitions from i high to low Knudsen number evaporation and ii subcritical to supercritical evaporation are observed. At a low ambient pressure of 0.4 MPa, the initial droplet Knudsen number is 1 and the dr...

A mild and efficient synthesis of polysubstituted dihydro-2-oxypyrroles has been developed for the one-pot, four-component domino condensation of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, formaldehyde and aromatic amines using Vanadium (V) oxide as the catalyst at ambient temperature. The use of Vanadium (V) oxide makes this process simple, more convenient, and environmentally friendly.

1. A zone of thermoneutrality exists for adult female Myotis thysanodes in early September in an ambient temperature range of 32"5-34"5°C with minimum metabolism of 1"74 cm3/g per hr. 2. A transition from a homeothermic to a non-homeothermic metabolism to ambient temperature relation is evident by late September in adult female M. thysanodes. 3. In early September, some adult female M. yumanens...
