Este trabajo fue realizado en la Quinta "Myriam", ubicada en el municipio de Diriamba, departamento de Carazo, Nicaragua, propiedad del Dr. Jorge Ferreira. La ubicación geográfica del municipio está comprendida entre los 11° 50' y 12° 00' de Latitud Norte y entre los 86° 00' y 86° 15' de Longitud Oeste, cuenta con una elevación de 551 m.s.n.m., los datos meteorológicos de la zona en los últimos cuatro años (90-93) en cuanto a temperatura, humedad relativa y precipitación promedio fueron: 23.8 °C, 84% y 1184,5 mm respectivamente, (INETER, Departamento de Estadística, 1993). En el presente ensayo, se utilizó un diseño estadístico completamente aleatorizado (DCA), mediante el cual se evaluó el efecto de 3 tratamientos (15, 30 y 45 días de destete) sobre las variables Peso de la Camada al Destete (PCD), Peso de la Madre al Destete (PMD), Peso de la Madre al Segundo Parto (PSP), Ganancia Media Diaria del Parto 1 al Parto 2 (GMDp 1.P2) , con 4 repeticiones por tratamiento, éstas repeticiones estuvieron constituidas por conejas primíparas, las cuales tuvieron un peso que osciló entre 3 - 3.18 kg. y edad homogénea de 7 meses.

High laser-induced damage threshold HfO2 films prepared by ion-assisted electron beam evaporation

HfO2 films were deposited by electron beam evaporation with different deposition parameters. The properties such as refractive index, weak absorption, and laser induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) of these films have been investigated. It was found that when pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser is used to investigate LIDT of films: Metallic character is the main factor that influences LIDTs of films obtained from Hf starting material by ion-assisted reaction, and films prepared with higher momentum transfer parameter P have fewer metallic character; The ion-assisted reaction parameters are key points for preparing high LIDT films and if the parameters are chose properly, high LIDT films can be obtained.

The structure and current-voltage characteristics of multi-sheet InGaN quantum dots grown by a new multi-step method

Multi-sheet InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) were grown successfully by surface passivation processing and low-temperature growth in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. This method based on the principle of increasing the energy barrier of adatom hopping by surface passivation and low-temperature growth, is quite different from present methods. The InGaN quantum dots in the first layer of about 40-nm-wide and 15-nm-high grown by this method were revealed by atomic force microscopy. The InGaN QDs in upper layer grew bigger. To our knowledge, the current-voltage characteristics of multi-sheet InGaN/GaN QDs were measured for the fist time. Two kinds of resonance-tunneling-current features were observed which were attributed to the low-dimensional localization effect. Some current peaks only appeared in positive voltage for sample due to the non-uniformity of the QDs in the structure. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A novel application to quantum dot materials to the active region of superluminescent diodes

We have proposed a new superluminescent diodes (SLD) aimed at wide spectrum-quantum dot superluminescent diodes (QD-SLD), which is characterized by the introduction of a self-assembled asymmetric quantum dot pairs active region into conventional SLID structure. We investigated the structure and optical properties of a bilayer sample with different InAs deposition amounts in the first and second layer. We find that the structure of a self-assembled asymmetric quantum dot pairs can operate up to a 150 nm spectral width. In addition, as the first QDs' density can modulate the density of the QDs on the second layer, due to relatively high QDs density of the first layer, we can get the strong PL intensity from a broad range. We think that for the broad spectral width and the strong PL intensity, this structure can be a promising candidate for QW-SLD. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Strain relaxation of InP film directly grown on GaAs patterned compliant substrate

In order to overcome the large lattice mismatch in the heteroepitaxy, a new patterned compliant substrate method has been introduced, which has overcome the disadvantages of previously published methods. InP film of thickness 800 nm was directly grown on this substrate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has shown that good surface morphology has been obtained. In addition, Photoluminescence (PL) and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXRD) study have shown that the residual strain has been reduced, and that the structure quality has been improved.

Tensile and transformational behavior of poly(ether sulfone) polycarbonate blends

Blends of a poly(ether sulfone) (PES) and a polycarbonate (PC) were prepared by melt-mixing and were studied by tensile tests, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, density measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The blends were found to be two-phase systems and an interfacial layer was presumed to be formed between two phases, which was verified by TEM. A synergism of elongation at break and tensile modulus was shown in PES/PC blends. The effects of the crosshead speed on the mechanical properties were discussed for blends with different PES/PC weight ratios.

PREDICTION OF METAL CATION TOXICITY TO THE BIOLUMINESCENT FUNGUS GERRONEMA VIRIDILUCENS

A correlation between the physicochemical properties of mono- [Li(I), K(I), Na(I)] and divalent [Cd(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Mg(II), Ca(II)] metal cations and their toxicity (evaluated by the free ion median effective concentration. EC50(F)) to the naturally bioluminescent fungus Gerronema viridilucens has been studied using the quantitative ion character activity relationship (QICAR) approach. Among the 11 ionic parameters used in the current study, a univariate model based on the covalent index (X(m)(2)r) proved to be the most adequate for prediction of fungal metal toxicity evaluated by the logarithm of free ion median effective concentration (log EC50(F)): log EC50(F) = 4.243 (+/-0.243) -1.268 (+/-0.125).X(m)(2)r (adj-R(2) = 0.9113, Alkaike information criterion [AIC] = 60.42). Additional two- and three-variable models were also tested and proved less suitable to fit the experimental data. These results indicate that covalent bonding is a good indicator of metal inherent toxicity to bioluminescent fungi. Furthermore, the toxicity of additional metal ions [Ag(I), Cs(I), Sr(II), Ba(II), Fe(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II)] to G. viridilucens was predicted, and Pb was found to be the most toxic metal to this bioluminescent fungus (EC50(F)): Pb(II) > Ag(I) > Hg(I) > Cd(II) > Cu(II) > Co(II) Ni(II) > Mn(II) > Fe(II) approximate to Zn(II) > Mg(II) approximate to Ba(II) approximate to Cs(I) > Li(I) > K(I) approximate to Na(I) approximate to Sr(II)> Ca(II).
