Systematic measurements of the resistivity, heat capacity, susceptibility, and Hall coefficient are presented for single-crystal samples of the electron-doped superconductor Ba Fe1−xCox 2As2. These data delineate an x-T phase diagram in which the single magnetic/structural phase transition that is observed for undoped BaFe2As2 at 134 K appears to split into two distinct phase transitions, both ...

Effects of CO(2) on mitochondrial activity of apple (Malus pumila Mill. var. Richared Delicious) were studied in two ways. Immediate effects were determined by imposing 3 to 18% CO(2)-bicarbonate mixtures on isolated apple mitochondria, and long term effects were determined by extracting mitochondria from apples that had been stored for intervals in atmospheres containing 6 or 12% CO(2) plus 3%...

Prior illumination in CO(2)-free air enhances a respiration from maize (Zea mays L.) leaves different in onset and duration from the postillumination burst of photorespiration. The course of respiration after brief illumination of attached leaves was measured as CO(2) efflux in darkness into CO(2)-free atmospheres with four O(2) concentrations. The peak of CO(2) efflux following illumination wa...

OBJECTIVE The influence of a macrolide antibiotic, roxithromycin (RXM), on co-stimulatory molecule expression was examined in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Spleen cells obtained from BALB/c mice 10 days after immunization with 8.0 microg of hemocyanin absorbed to 4.0 mg of aluminum hydroxide were cultured in the presence of 100.0 microg/ml of hemocyanin and various concentrations o...

Ab initio calculations of surface-state mediated interactions between Cu adatoms on transition metal surfaces are presented. We concentrate on Co/Cu(111) and Co(0001) substrates and compare results with our calculations for Cu(111). Our studies show that surface states of Co/Cu(111) and Co(0001) are spin-polarized. We reveal that long-range interactions between adatoms are mainly determined by ...

The spatial distribution of desorbing O(2) and CO(2) was examined in 193-nm photoinduced reactions in O(2)+CO adlayers on stepped Pt (112)=[(s)3(111)x(001)]. The O(2) desorption collimated in inclined ways in the plane along the surface trough, confirming the hot-atom collision mechanism. In the presence of CO(a), the product CO(2) desorption also collimated in an inclined way, whereas the incl...
