We report on the electrical alignment of ZnO nanorods and their electrical properties. The ZnO nanorods were wet-chemically synthesized, and their length and diameter were adjusted to about 200−300 nm and 15−30 nm, respectively. The nanorods were deposited onto electrode structures and directed into 200to 800-nm-wide electrode gaps by using alternating electric fields at frequencies between 1 a...

The turtle posterior crista is made up of two hemicristae, each consisting of a central zone containing type I and type II hair cells and a surrounding peripheral zone containing only type II hair cells and extending from the planum semilunatum to the nonsensory torus. Afferents from various regions of a hemicrista differ in their discharge properties. To see if afferent diversity is related to...

solute transport processes are affected by soil pore water velocity distribution. pore size distribution, which can be used to infer pore water velocity distribution, can be estimated from a soil water retention curve (n). in this study, a solute breakthrough curve was simulated using soil hydraulic parameters in four different soils. to evaluate the proposed model, predictions were compared to...
