A debris-free, narrow-bandwidth, single-line laser-plasma soft x-ray source has been developed suitable for water-window microscopy using zone-plate optics. The 10 Hz table-top source utilizes microscopic ammonium hydroxide droplets as target. The N VI emission at l52.88 nm is ;1310 photons/~sr pulse!. As an alternative to ammonium hydroxide, it is demonstrated that urea dissolved in water also...

One-, two- and three-dimensional nanostructures of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide were successfully constructed by a simple approach through a pH-dependent dimensional transformation of ammonium copper molybdate. Thin nanoplates of copper molybdate, which were obtained by sintering the two-dimensional nanobelts of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide, exhibited remarkably high reversible lithiu...

Hairy vetch is a leguminous winter annual cover crop that provides a significant contribution toward meeting the nitrogen requirement of succeeding crops. Hairy vetch residue is capable of suppressing weeds, but low levels of residue can intermittently stimulate the emergence of weeds, particularly smooth pigweed. This research was conducted to assess the inhibitory and stimulatory effects of h...

Chopped wheat straw, containing increasing amounts of added water was treated with a constant level of ammonia (3.3 percent of straw dry matter) as ammonium hydroxide, and stored for I to 60 days before determing in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD MD), nitrogen content and fiber-bound nitrogen (ADF-N) versus free ammonia nitrogen (NH3N) of the treated sample. The overall improvement (e.g., ...

Many steps in the analysis of rough and semirough endotoxins were found to be facilitated by the use of isobutyric acid-ammonium hydroxide solvent.

In this study, the effects of ammonium hydroxide extracts from black tea on colon cancer cells were analyzed. Here we showed that black tea extracts decreased the growth of SW480 and HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The increase of subG1 population indicated that the black tea extracts induced cancer cell death. In addition, cell migration and invasion were significantly inhibited by th...

Stable flies are blood feeding parasites and serious pests of livestock. The immature stages develop in decaying materials which frequently have high ammonium content. We added various ammonium salts to our laboratory stable fly rearing medium and measured their effect on size and survival as well as the physical properties of the used media. The addition of ammonium hydroxide, ammonium phospha...
