The improved Voc value is attributed to the suppression of dark current owing to the blocking effect of a long alkyl chain.
Their excitation by optical methods was considered to be difficult, because they are categorized as the dark modes owing to the null net electric dipole moment.
After the deposition of Al2O3, the dark contrast owing to the gap between SiNWs disappeared, suggesting that the Al2O3 film macroscopically covered SiNWs.
It is viewable in binoculars from a dark site owing to its high surface brightness of 10.1 and overall magnitude of 9.0.
I. obtusiuscula also has larger spores of a different shape, and they are a darker colour, owing to their thick cell walls.
The crust is dark and heavy, owing to the dough's long rise.
From the analysis results in Fig. 2b, we know that the metasurface couples efficiently for TM polarization and remains dark for TE polarization, owing to asymmetric design, which has a potential application in polarization switch.
AAs' lower serum 25(OH D concentrations (mainly from reduced vitamin D photoproduction owing to darker pigmentation) may account for much of the unexplained survival disparity after consideration of such factors as SES, stage at diagnosis, and treatment.
We should point out that the excretion of Gd-EOB-DTPA into the biliary tree interferes with successful visualisation of biliary fluid at conventional T2w-MRC, because at a higher concentration of the contrast material the signal intensity of bile appears darker on T2w images, owing to the T2-shortening effect of concentrated contrast material within the bile ducts [ 24].
His friends referred to him as 'Moor', owing to his dark complexion and black curly hair, something which they believed made him resemble the historical Moors of North Africa, whilst he encouraged his children to call him 'Old Nick' and 'Charley'.
