Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is a crucial element for next-generation large-scale memory arrays, analogue neuromorphic computing and energy-efficient System-on-Chip applications. For these applications, RRAM elements are arranged into Crossbar arrays, where rectifying selector devices are required for correct read operation of the memory cells. One of the key advantages of RRAM is its high scalability due to the filamentary mechanism of resistive switching, as the cell conductivity is not dependent on the cell area.

The data collected (April to October 2020) included specific measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining health prevention behaviors and COVID-19 experience, geographical and cultural context characterization, and demographic information for each participant. Each participant started the study with the same general questions and then was randomized to complete either one longer experiment or two shorter experiments.

The experiment carried out in 2021 and 2022 on treated with sodium selenate or nano-Se sprayed on foliar apparatus demonstrated a significant increase in photosynthetic pigments, pectin, waxes, macro- and microelements and a decrease in malonic dialdehyde (MDA) accumulation. Contrary to literature reports, neither selenate nor nano-Se showed a beneficial effect on essential oil accumulation; the oil yield did not differ between the selenate treated and control plants but was halved by the nano-Se application.

Due to limited number of IR radiation sources, the frequency down-conversion processes are widely used for obtaining infrared radiation. Among them, the most applicable method is a generation of wave with difference frequency under the three-waves interaction in a medium with quadratic nonlinear response.
