In this paper, the performance of a new CVD reactor (called PE1O8) designed by LPE and developed in European project REACTION to process uniform 4H-SiC homoepitaxy on 200 mm substrate is reported. Its tunable multi-zone injection system gas delivery configuration ensure distribution throughout substrate. Excellent thickness doping uniformity substrates are achieved with run-to-run variation les...

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of deficit irrigation and mulch levels on soil physical properties and growth and yield of maize crop. The experiment comprised of two irrigation levels, i.e. I1: 558.8 mm and I2: 711.2 mm while two mulch levels, i.e. M0: no mulch and M15: 15 Mg ha. Soil samples were collected from 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm depths before sowing and at crop ha...

PURPOSE Alendronate has been proposed as a local and systemic drug treatment used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of periodontitis. However, its effectiveness has yet to be conclusively established. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of SRP with alendronate on periodontitis compared to SRP alone. METHODS Five electronic d...

Bordetella pertussis toxin (PTx), also known as islet-activating protein, induces insulin secretion by ADP-ribosylation of inhibitory G proteins. PTx-induced insulin secretion may result either from inactivation of Gα(o) proteins or from combined inactivation of Gα(o), Gα(i1), Gα(i2), and Gα(i3) isoforms. However, the specific role of Gα(i2) in pancreatic β-cells still remains unknown. In globa...

Plastic mulched ridge-furrow irrigation is a useful method to improve crop productivity and decrease salt accumulation in arid saline areas. However, inappropriate fertilizer practices may result ecological environmental problems. In order the resource use efficiency these areas, we investigated effects of different amounts (400 (I1), 300 (I2) 200 (I3) mm) nitrogen application rates (300 (F1) 1...

200 mm diameter n-type 4H SiC wafers were produced from bulk crystals grown using a physical vapor transport (PVT) method. The configuration of the growth cell was modified to both allow for larger with respect standard 150 process, and induce thermal environment necessary increase mass deposition rate. A 25% in rate achieved relative process. resulting exhibited resistivity uniformity comparab...

beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase I2 was purified from human liver by a combination of concanavalin A chromatography, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, gel filtration and affinity chromatography on 2-acetamido-N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. Its specific activity was 130 mumol/min per mg of protein compared with values of 150 and 320 mumol/m...

in semiarid regions of iran, one of the crop production management methods is delayed irrigation after emergence. this is due to simultaneous water requirement of cereal and spring season crops. a field study was conducted in kabootarabad research station to investigate the effect of delayed irrigation on root yield, quality and growth trend using a rcb with four replications. the irrigation tr...
