    Two-dimensional growth, anisotropic polaron transport, and magnetic phase segregation in epitaxial Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films

    No full text
    Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films have been fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering on single-crystal LaAlO3 (001) and SrTiO3 (011) substrates with additional annealing to relax the lattice strain. Although the Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films were deposited simultaneously on different substrates at the same deposition rate, they differ in thickness by a factor of ? . The observed difference in thickness is explained by the two-dimensional (layer-by-layer) film growth, rather than by a difference in growth rate controlled by the crystalline orientation of the substrate. An analysis of optical and transport properties reveals that the observed anisotropy in the polaron motion is governed by a strong anisotropy in the trapping energy, rather than in polaron formation. It is shown that the deposited Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films exhibit magnetic behavior typical of two-phase magnetic systems and should be regarded as an assembly of interacting magnetic clusters.Applied Science

    Properties of Hybrid Complexes Composed of Photosynthetic Reaction Centers from the Purple Bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Quantum Dots in Lecithin Liposomes

    A photosynthetic reaction center (RC) is a natural mesoscopic structure with dimensions of ~10 nm However, for creating a RC-based hybrid energy transformer it is necessary to solve some problems. First, it is necessary to obtain a high stability of photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes in vitro, because without photoprotection and repair systems they are subject to pronounced photodestruction. Second, the solar light absorption by the pigment-protein complexes of RCs is not equally efficient throughout the whole spectrum: the main absorption bands of the RC pigments are in the blue and near infrared regions of the spectrum, and it is impor- ISSN 0006-2979, Biochemistry (Moscow), 2014, Vol. 79, No. 11, pp. 1183-1191. © Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2014.

Abstract-Quantum dots (QDs) can absorb ultraviolet and long-wavelength light energy much more efficiently than natural light-harvesting proteins and transfer the excitation energy to photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs). Inclusion into liposomes of RC membrane pigment−protein complexes combined with QDs as antennae opens new opportunities for using such hybrid systems as a basis for artificial energy-transforming devices that potentially can operate with greater efficiency and stability than devices based only on biological components. RCs from Rhodobacter sphaeroides and QDs with fluorescence maximum at 530 nm (CdSe/ZnS with hydrophilic covering) were embedded in lecithin liposomes by extrusion of a solution of multilayer lipid vesicles through a polycarbonate membrane or by dialysis of lipids and proteins dispersed with excess detergent. The dimensions of the resulting hybrid systems were evaluated using dynamic light scattering and by transmission cryoelectron microscopy. The efficiency of RC and QD interaction within the liposomes was estimated using fluorescence excitation spectra of the photoactive bacteriochlorophyll of the RCs and by measuring the fluorescence decay kinetics of the QDs. The functional activity of the RCs in hybrid complexes was fully maintained, and their stability was even increased. Properties of Hybrid Complexes Composed of Photosyntheti

    Peas (Pisum sativum L.) are one of the main leguminous plants grown in Ukraine. The sown square of peas is 0,3 min. ha and 25% of them is in stepp. Peas are very light-, water- and soil-demanding culture, that’s why not realize its genetic productivity potential under adverse environmental conditions, owing to photosynthetic and photophosphorylation processes malfunctioning, changing in water state and development of oxidative defence. The usage of growth regulators normalize the metabolism and increase the crop production. The antioxidant system is very important for plant adaptation, and biostymulants Stimpo and Regoplant increase the plants stress resistance. The aim of presented work was to determine the impact of bioregulators Stimpo and Regoplant on the peroxidation processes, changes of antioxidant enzimes activity, proline content during peas onthogenesis under the conditions of South Steppe of Ukraine

    CoDeSys programming system is considered as the most complete version of software for programmed logical controllers (PLC) that meets requirements of IEC 61131-3-standard. The given software is the most suitable for simulation and development of control system algorithms and execution of semi-full-scale tests without involvement of an actual object. Programming medium operated at a personal computer in Windows medium. As CoDeSys provides a machine code it is rather easy to support its programming and its minimum support presupposes selection of IN/OUT and program debugging functions.The investigations have been directed on optimization of an electric drive operation with varying inertia moment. The whole software developed for the solution of the considered problem, has been written and realized in the CoDeSys programming system. «Modified principle of maximum» of V. I. Panasiuk is applied as a body of mathematics that allows to obtain positive results of the investigations

    The biocentric-network configuration of landscapes (BNCL) is understood as a variety of biocenters that located at the matrix of landscapes and along which the biotic migrations take places. The theoretic-methodological contemporary apparatus of BNCL exploration formed by scientific results which we could find out in works of European and Ukrainian scientists, in particular: A. Buchek, Ja. Lazina, I. Ljov, P Kavaljauskas, R. Forman, M. Godron, M. Grodzinskyi, P. Shyschenko, V. Paschenko, S. Kukurudza, etc. Nevertheless, lack of works which could clarify questions of landscape representativeness and metrization BNCL under conditions of considerable fragmented and anthropogenic territories leads us to accomplishment becoming exploration. Thus, the aim of the article is to determine landscape representiveness (at the levels of type, and sort of landscape complexes) of BNCL by using results of our mapping modelling of landscape-typological structure of the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory, the structure of BNCL and the nature reserved fund, which could be a good background for choosing criteria of landscape planning typological units distinguishing and for the future possibility of usage it for the purpose of landscape planning tools implementation. The region of the exploration – the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory – is understood as a totality of four administration region of Ukraine, such as Poltavsjka, Sumsjka, Harkivsjka, and Chernighivsjka. The levels of landscape representiveness were determined by using GIS-parcel MapInfo Professional 10.0.1, and type, and sort of landscape complexes data, including 1 552 objects of nature reserved fund (by 1.11.2016). The methodical basis of the research is formed by the system of methods such as mapping, graphical, statistic, analysis, and synthesis, etc., especially the method of laying on to each other the mapping models of sort of landscape, the nature reserve fund, and the BNCL structure of the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory done by the author. The level of landscape representiveness of landscapes sorts by the elements of BNCL is understood as plurality it on the unit of a biocentric area. According to the received results of region landscape representiveness calculation at the level of sort of landscapes, we summarized that same objects of BNCL has high or low level of its. The metrization of elements the BNCL structure helps us to distinguish “central” and “provincial” biocenters. Altogether, received results of graphical and matrix modeling the BNCL will be a good background for the future landscape planning tools implementation.</jats:p
