Experimental Study of Texture and Self-Polarization of Sol-Gel Derived PZT Thin Films
Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films have been reported to show a significant polarization after deposition without any previous poling treatment which is referred to as self-polarization. This effect has also been found...

Transcription Level of CHO Cells Influenced by Amino Acids
The transcription level of CHO-DUKX cells could be altered by targeted omitting of the nonessential amino acids asparagine and serine in the serum-free culture medium. These changes in transcription activity w...
