Influence of Sulfur on Transcription of Genes Involved in Arsenic Accumulation in Rice Grains
Arsenic (As) contamination of rice grains affects millions of people worldwide. In this study, we found that sulfur application (20As+120S) decreased As concentration in rice grains by 44 % compared to grains ...

Determination of the Phase Equilibria in the Mn-Sn-Zn System at 500 °C
The isothermal section of the Mn-Sn-Zn system at 500 °C was determined with 20 alloys. The alloys were prepared by melting the pure elements in evacuated quartz capsules. The alloy samples were examined by mea...

Low-lying isomeric states in 169Ta
Two low-lying isomeric states in 169Ta have been identified via 159Tb(16O,6nγ)169Ta reaction. Their half-lives are measured to be 28 ± 5 ns for the 9/2− level and 17 ± 4 ns for the 5/2− level by using the delaye...
