Description :
The electron spin dynamics is studied by time-resolved Kerr rotation in
GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells embedded in a negatively doped-intrinsic-positively
doped structures grown on (111)A or (111)B-oriented substrates. In both cases
the spin lifetimes are significantly increased by applying an external...

Description :
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha and gamma are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor family. PPARa mediates the hypolipidemic action of the fibrates, whereas PPARgamma is a receptor for the antidiabetic glitazones. In the present study, the U...

Description :
The world's large and rapidly growing human population is exhausting Earth's natural capital at ever-faster rates, and yet appears mostly oblivious to the fact that these resources are limited. This is dangerous for our well-being and perhaps for our survival, as documented by numerous studies over ...

Description :
We have demonstrated by electroluminescence the injection of spin polarized
electrons through Co/Al2O3/GaAs tunnel barrier into p-doped InAs/GaAs quantum
dots embedded in a PIN GaAs light emitting diode. The spin relaxation processes
in the p-doped quantum dots are characterized independently by o...

Description :
Non-professional taxonomists have been responsible for describing more than half of the animal species discovered in Europe from 1998 to 2007 (see also Nature 467, 788; 2010). The extraordinary current rate of description of new species makes Europe an unexpected frontier for biodiversity exploratio...

Description :
The number of described species on the planet is about 1.9 million, with ca. 17,000 new species described annually, mostly from the tropics. However, taxonomy is usually described as a science in crisis, lacking manpower and funding, a politically acknowledged problem known as the Taxonomic Impedime...
