Defect-Enabled Superior Negative Thermal Quenching in Palmierite BaLa(VO):Eu for WLED In Situ Temperature Measuring.

Negative thermal quenching (NTQ) of the phosphors is critically important for both scientific research and practical applications, but the design of efficient NTQ phosphors is still a challenging task. Herein, we report a new strategy for developing NTQ materials by cation-vacancy engineering. Specifically, a new color-tunable BaLa(VO):Eu (BLVO:Eu) phosphor with abundant intrinsic cation vacancy was developed, exhibiting superior NTQ behavior under 365 nm excitation.

Cation vacancy-boosted BaZnBO:Eu phosphors with high quantum yield and thermal stability for pc-WLEDs.

Achieving high luminescent quantum yield and thermal stability of phosphors simultaneously remains challenging, yet it is critical for facilitating high-power white light emitting diodes (WLEDs). Herein, we report the design and preparation of the layered structure BaZnBO:Eu (0.10 ≤ ≤ 0.

Genome-wide detection of CNV regions between Anqing six-end-white and Duroc pigs.

Background: Anqing six-end-white pig is a native breed in Anhui Province. The pigs have the disadvantages of a slow growth rate, low proportion of lean meat, and thick back fat, but feature the advantages of strong stress resistance and excellent meat quality. Duroc pig is an introduced pig breed with a fast growth rate and high proportion of lean meat.

[Characteristics of arsenic content in the livestock farms' surrounding environment in Shanghai suburbs].

In the suburbs of Shanghai, selected five large farms and surface water, feed, soil and vegetable samples were collected, and then total and inorganic arsenic were detected to survey the current arsenic level of the livestock farms in Shanghai suburban, as well as the usage situation of organic arsenic as feed additives. The results showed that the total arsenic content in water samples ranged from 0. 00 microgL-1 to 23.

Islet-1 may function as an assistant factor for histone acetylation and regulation of cardiac development-related transcription factor Mef2c expression.

Objective: Islet-1 is an important transcription factor for cardiac development through mediating extensive interactions between DNA and proteins. The present study was to investigate the role of Islet-1 in regulating the expression of cardiac development-related transcription factors and mechanism.

Methods And Results: The expression of Islet-1 and histone acetylases (HATs) subtype p300 was determined in newborn mouse hearts and mouse embryonic hearts at different development stages using Western blot.

[Fuzzy decision system for ecological distribution of citrus in north-cultivated-marginal area].

The fuzzy decision system for ecological distribution of citrus in north-cultivated-marginal area was established by using the data of mean extreme low temperature, accumulated active temperature (> or = 12.5 degrees C), mean temperature in coldest month, annual mean temperature integrated with annual precipitation, days with mean extreme low temperature below -9 degrees C, physiognomy, elevation, inland water body, cold air barrier, and soil nutrition and pH value. The complex reasoning model with imprecision was used in the decision system by introduction of L-R fuzzy number and recognition formula, which made the decision system have a wide range of application in practice.
