Leakage current measurements of BaTiO3-based X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with base-metal electrodes (BMEs) have revealed three distinct failure modes: avalanche breakdown (ABD), thermal runaway (TRA), and slow degradation. Failure analysis (FA) was performed for a number of BME capacitors that failed with the aforementioned three failure modes. The samples that failed with ABD had...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of olive leaf (OL) on the performance, abdominal fat pad and some ileal bacterial population of Cobb broiler chickens. A total number of 400 day-old chicks were randomly distributed into floor pens and reared under the same condition until 14 days of age. On day 14, each pen was randomly assigned to one of the five experimental treatments...

bostan ol-arefin va tohfat ol-moridin is one of the mystical prose texts of the khorasan area in the fifth century a.h. among the many persian literary texts, it is considered as a precious ancient source for many of the anecdotes, miracles and sayings of the sufis. furthermore, the linguistic features of this book such as numerous special vocabularies, stylistic aspects and prose similar to th...

3,7-Dimethylpentadecan-2-ol and 3-methylpentadecan-2-ol were identified in female whole body extracts from the two pine sawfly species Gilpinia frutetorum and Gilpinia socia. This is the first observation of 3-methylpentadecan-2-ol in extracts of a female pine sawfly species. Synthetic and highly pure stereoisomers of 3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol and 3-methylpentadecan-2-ol were used to verify t...

Oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelin-forming CNS glia, are highly vulnerable to cellular stresses, and a severe myelin loss underlies numerous CNS disorders. Expedited OL regeneration may prevent further axonal damage and facilitate functional CNS repair. Although adult OL progenitors (OPCs) are the primary players for OL regeneration, targetable OPC-specific intracellular signaling mechanisms fo...

In the broader context of research on the Sicilian Porcellio imbutus-complex, the postmarsupial development of Porcellio siculoccidentalis Viglianisi, Lombardo & Caruso, 1992 was studied in detail. This research was conducted in the laboratory under controlled conditions, allowing us to follow the stages of development, from the formation of the marsupium in ovigerous females until the larval s...

Stereoselective and transannular reactivities are described for the ABD tricyclic manifold of phomactin A that possesses a unique structural topology.
