We report the effects of oxygen content on the transport properties of La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3-δ thin films grown epitaxially on LaAlO 3 (001) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering.

We observe that the La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3-δ films annealed at 850°C is highly oriented growth on (001) LAO substrate. However, the XRD patterns of the samples annealed at lower than 850°C show no distinct diffraction peaks.

Abstract:
Background Place of origin is an important factor when determining the quality and authenticity of Angelica sinensis for medicinal use. It is important to trace the origin and confirm the regional characteristics of medicinal products for sustainable industrial development. Effectively tracing and confirming the material’s origin may be accomplished by detecting stable isotopes and mineral elements. Methods We studied 25 A. sinensis samples collected from three main producing areas (Linxia, Gannan, and Dingxi) in southeastern Gansu Province, China, to better identify its origin. We used induct

The effect of metals on the functioning of the human eye is multifactorial and includes enzyme activity modulation, trace metal metabolic pathways changes, and cytotoxic activity. Functional dysfunctions appear mostly as a result of the accumulation of toxic xenobiotic metals or disturbances of micronutrients’ homeostasis. So far, the affinity of selected metals to eye tissues, i.e., the cornea, choroid, lens, and anterior chamber fluid, has been most studied. However, it is known that many eye symptoms are related to damage to the optic nerve. In order to fill this gap, the aim of the study i
