EXPLAINING THE FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF THE DC-BIASED DIELECTRIC RESPONSE OF POLAR NANOREGIONS BY FIELD-ENHANCED CORRELATION LENGTH

Explaining the Frequency Dependence of the DC-Biased Dielectric Response of Polar Nanoregions by Field-Enhanced Correlation Length

Understanding the effects of polar nanoregions (PNRs) dynamics on dielectric properties is a complex question of essential importance for both fundamental studies of relaxor ferroelectrics and their applications to electro-optic devices.The frequency dependence of dielectric response to the bias electric field opens a brand new window for the study

The Human SLC7A5 (LAT1): The Intriguing Histidine/Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter and Its Relevance to Human Health

SLC7A5, known as LAT1, belongs to the APC superfamily and forms a heterodimeric amino acid transporter interacting with the glycoprotein CD98 (SLC3A2) through a conserved disulfide.The complex is responsible for uptake of essential amino acids in crucial body districts such as placenta and blood brain barrier.LAT1/CD98 heterodimer has been studied

Frequent failure of nutrients to increase plant biomass supports the need for precision fertilization in agriculture

Abstract Implementing precision fertilization to maximize crop yield while minimizing economic and environmental impacts has become critical for agriculture.Variability in biomass response to fertilization within fields, among regions, and over time creates simultaneous risks of under-yielding and overfertilization.We quantify factors determining f
