Seeds were germinated following surface-sterilization by immersion in sodium hypochlorite (0.5% vol/vol) for 30 min followed by thorough rinsing in sterile water.
The constant capacitance model was applied in designing the following surface complexation model:.
Mechanical deterioration following surface shrinkage and cracks can increase the saturated hydraulic conductivity.
These large Cu-rich particles grew during 12 months of natural aging following surface abrasion, then stopped growing.
Cells were stained for the following surface markers using fluorescently labeled antibodies according to manufactures protocol: CD34-alophycocyanin (APC; Miltenyi Biotec) CD41-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC; Immunotech), CD51-phycoerythrin (PE; BioLegend) and CD61-PE (BectonDickinson).
A negative panel of the following surface antigens were incubated simultaneously as a group in the same sample: HLA-DR (PE, BD Biosciences), CD34 (PE, BD Biosciences), CD45 (PE, BD Biosciences), CD14 (PE, BD Biosciences) and CD19 (PE, BD Biosciences).
A dedicated device was designed and built to study the contact mechanics behavior of PDMS prior to, and following surface treatment.
The results show that there is degradation of strength following surface shrinkage as well as an increase in saturated hydraulic conductivity due to existence of micro-cracks.
These findings indicate that it is possible to engineer the landscape to accommodate the hydrological functions of a fen peatland following surface oil sands extraction.
The results indicate the formation of inter-band gap states following surface modification with MnOx, but surface water can change this.
The copper clusters were determined to be a mixture of Cu(0) and Cu(I), and no significant change in the oxidation state was observed following surface modification or following photoelectrochemical measurements.
