Zn anodes from spent alkaline Zn–air batteries can be re-used as high-performance in neutral Zn–iodine batteries.

Abstract The objective of this work was to assess the genetic control tolerance thermoinhibition in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds. Seeds F1, F2, and F2:3 generations derived from cross between cultivars Everglades (tolerant thermoinhibition) Verônica (sensitive were used, besides seeds parents. Seed germination tests conducted a completely randomized design, with four replicates each parent, e...

BACKGROUND Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have low plasma levels of zinc (Zn), high plasma levels of copper (Cu), and exhibit increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune abnormalities. We evaluated the effects of Zn supplementation on abnormal plasma Cu/Zn ratios and clinical outcomes in HD patients. DESIGN AND METHODS Patients on long-term HD with lower than normal plasma con...

Carter & Local [3] report acoustic data showing that in two varieties of British English, the liquids /l/ and /r/ are polarised in terms of ‘darkness’ along the F2 dimension; Leeds English has dark onset /l/ (low F2) and a light onset /r/ (high F2), and Newcastle English has the opposite pattern. Here we report data on liquid polarisation for Australian English, a variety reported to show a ver...

The influenza A virus PB1-F2 protein, encoded by an alternative reading frame in the PB1 polymerase gene, displays a high sequence polymorphism and is reported to contribute to viral pathogenesis in a sequence-specific manner. To gain insights into the functions of PB1-F2, the molecular structure of several PB1-F2 variants produced in Escherichia coli was investigated in different environments....

As part of a study of the effect of particle size on reactivity of hematite to aqueous metal ions, the sorption of Zn(II) on hematite nanoparticles and microparticles was examined over a wide range of Zn(II) concentrations using Zn K-edge EXAFS. When reacted with nanoparticles at pH 5.5 and low Zn(II) sorption densities (0.04 < Γ < 2.76 μmol/m), Zn(II) formed five-coordinated or a mixture of fo...

Let A be the classical, singly-graded Steenrod algebra over prime order field F2 and let P⊗h:=F2[t1,…,th] denote polynomial on h generators, each of degree 1, viewed as a module A. Write GLh for usual general linear group rank F2. As well known, (mod 2) cohomology groups algebra, ExtAh,h+⁎(F2,F2) is still largely mysterious all homological degrees h≥6. The h-th algebraic transferTrhA:(F2⊗GLhAnn...

Calcareous soils are characterized by low nutrient contents, high bicarbonate (HCO3-) content, and high alkalinity. The effects of HCO3- addition under zinc-sufficient (+Zn) and zinc-deficient (-Zn) conditions on the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of seedlings of two Moraceae species (Broussonetia papyrifera and Morus alba) and two Brassicaceae species (Orychophragmus violaceus and B...

Elevated inorganic phosphate (Pi) concentrations in pore water of amended tailings under direct revegetation may cause toxicity in some native woody species but not native forbs or herb species, all of which are key constituents in target native plant communities for phytostabilizing base metal mine tailings. As a result, Pi sorption capacity has been quantified by a conventional batch procedur...
