Drought Stress Study on Nicotiana tabacum L., “Baladi”, an In Vitro Experimental Model
2021
Crops drought tolerance is a trait of outmost importance for agriculture especially today when climate change is affecting more the production for food and feed. The scope of this article is to evaluate in vitro drought stress response of Nicotiana tabacum L., “Baladi”. The experiment was set up for four successive stages starting with in vitro seedling development, hypocotyl cultivation, three generations of micropropagation, pre-acclimatization and acclimatization. The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and/or polyethylene-glycol 6000 (PEG) on tobacco hypocotyl caulogenesis and micropropagation were investigated. Superoxide-dismutases (SODs) and peroxidases (POXs) are more active and different…
Ar antimonu un alvu leģētu Bi2Se3 plānu kārtiņu un nanovadu sintēze un īpašības
2018
Pēdējos gados augusi interese par materiāliem ar topoloģiskā izolatora (TI) īpašībām. TI ir tilpumā nevadoši, bet to virsmai piemīt metāliskas īpašības. Lielākā daļa TI ir labi termoelektriski (TE) materiāli istabas temperatūrā. Lai panāktu to, ka virsmas vadītspēja ir dominējoša, vajadzīgs nomākt tilpuma vadītspēju, kas rodas no defektiem. Pirmkārt, tilpuma vadītspēju var samazināt, samazinot vismaz vienu no TI struktūras dimensijām līdz nanoizmēram, kas būtiski palielina virsmas – tilpuma attiecību, kā arī veicot materiāla vakanču kompensējošu leģēšanu. Leģēšana var tikt izmantota arī materiālu TE īpašību uzlabošanai, tā optimizējot lādiņnesēju koncentrāciju un saglabājot to kustīgumu. Da…
Structure and dynamics in liquid bismuth and Bin clusters: A density functional study
2014
Density functional/molecular dynamics simulations with more than 500 atoms have been performed on liquid bismuth at 573, 773, 923, and 1023 K and on neutral Bi clusters with up to 14 atoms. There are similar structural patterns (coordination numbers, bond angles, and ring patterns) in the liquid and the clusters, with significant differences from the rhombohedral crystalline form. We study the details of the structure (structure factor, pair, and cavity distribution functions) and dynamical properties (vibration frequencies, diffusion constants, power spectra), and compare with experimental results where available. While the three short covalent bonds typical to pnictogens are characteristi…
