Although liming of an acidic soil is expected to decrease B levels, it is not known what the effects would be in such areas of high-B soils, especially in B-sensitive crops such as apple trees. Thus, our aim was to study the behavior of added B in newly planted apple rootstocks in an acidic soil which was limed to pH 6.5 in an outdoor pot experiment. Added B increased significantly B extractability from soil, and B levels were lower in the limed compared to the acidic soils. Plant B concentrations also increased with added B but differences between limed and unlimed soils were not evident, because plant B did not seem to reflect changes in B behavior in soil. However, B uptake was significantly increased with added B, and was further increased with liming, contrary to what the soil extractions indicated, due to improved growth conditions. Our results show that although liming decreased soil B levels, at the same time it did not affect plant B concentration and accelerated the uptake of added B, indicating a possibility for increased soil-to-plant mobility of B.","note":"","tags":"Malus domestica, extractable boron, boron translocation, boron uptake","weight":30} , {userid:"christos.gogos", "articletype":"inproceedings","pages":"","author":"G Foutsitzi, C Gogos, G E Stavroulakis, N A Antoniadis","year":"2014","title":"Optimization of Piezoelectric Patches in Smart Structures using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms","month":"September","journal":"","publisher":"Civil-Comp, Ltd.","volume":"","number":"","note":"Paper 222","tags":"","booktitle":"Proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on Computational Structures Technology","editor":"B H V Topping, P Iv\u00e0nyi","abstract":"","address":"","school":"","issn":"","doi":"10.4203\/ccp.106.222","isi":"","pubmed":"","key":"foutsitzi2014optimization","howpublished":" 2014-C-CST.Optimization of Piezoelectric Patches in Smart Structures using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms.pdf","urllink":" 2014-C-CST.Optimization of Piezoelectric Patches in Smart Structures using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms.pdf","refid":50,"weight":50} , {userid:"s.winklhofer", "articletype":"article","pages":"415-422","author":"N H Ulrich, F Kleinstuck, C M Woernle, A Antoniadis, S Winklhofer, J M Burgstaller, M Farshad, J Oberle, F Porchet, K Min, LumbSten Res Collaboration","year":"2015","title":"Clinical Outcome in Lumbar Decompression Surgery for Spinal Canal Stenosis in the Aged Population","month":"","journal":"","publisher":"","volume":"40","number":"6","note":"","tags":"clinical outcomes,decompression,degenerative,laminectomy,laminotomy,lumbar spine,lumbar spinal canal stenosis,elderly,satisfaction,outcome,LOW-BACK-PAIN,SURGICAL-TREATMENT,FOLLOW-UP,SAFETY,FUSION,TRENDS","booktitle":"","editor":"","abstract":"Study Design. This is a prospective, multicenter cohort study including 8 medical centers in the metropolitan area of the Canton Zurich, Switzerland. Objectives. To examine whether outcome and quality of life might improve after decompression surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) even in patients older than 80 years and to compare data with a younger patient population from our own patient collective. Summary and Background Data. Lumbar decompression surgery without fusion has been shown to improve quality of life in lumbar spinal canal stenosis. In the population older than 80 years, treatment recommendations for DLSS show conflicting results. Methods. Eight centers in the metropolitan area of Zurich, Switzerland agreed on the classification of DLSS, surgical principles, and follow-up protocols. Patients were followed from baseline, at 6 months, and 12 months. Baseline characteristics were analyzed with 5 different questionnaires \"Spinal Stenosis Measure, Feeling Thermometer, Numeric Rating Scale, 5D-3L, and Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire.\" In addition, our study population was compared with a younger control group. Furthermore, we calculated the minimal clinically important differences. Results. Thirty-seven patients with an average age of 82.5 +\/- 2.5 years reached the 12-month follow-up. Spinal Stenosis Measure scores, the Feeling Thermometer, the Numeric Rating Scale, and the Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire showed significant improvements at the 6-month and 12-month follow-ups (P < 0.001). One EQ-5D-3Lsubgroup \"anxiety\/depression\" showed no significant improvement (P = 0.109) at 12-month follow-up. The minimal clinically important difference for the \"Symptom Severity scale\" in the Spinal Stenosis Measure was achieved with improvement of 70% in the older patient population. Conclusion. Patients 80 years or older can expect a clinically meaningful improvement after lumbar decompression for symptomatic DLSS. Our patient population showed significant positive development in quality of life in the short-and long-term follow-ups.","address":"","school":"","issn":"0362-2436","doi":"10.1097\/BRS.0000000000000765","isi":"","pubmed":"","key":"Ulrich2015","howpublished":"","urllink":"","refid":88,"weight":88} , {userid:"r.j.warburton", _fulltext:1, _thumb:'_thumb.png', "refid":678,"repocollections":"","attachment":"ref-678\/Bart_NatureCommunications_2022.pdf","_thumb":"_thumb.png","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"Wafer-scale epitaxial modulation of quantum dot density","year":"2022","author":"N.

Suitable low QD-densities for single QD devices and experiments are challenging to control during epitaxy and are typically found only in limited regions of the wafer. Here, we demonstrate how conventional molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) can be used to modulate the density of optically active QDs in one- and two- dimensional patterns, while still retaining excellent quality. We find that material thickness gradients during layer-by-layer growth result in surface roughness modulations across the whole wafer. Growth on such templates strongly influences the QD nucleation probability. We obtain density modulations between 1 and 10 QDs\/\u00b5m2 and periods ranging from several millimeters down to at least a few hundred microns. This method is universal and expected to be applicable to a wide variety of different semiconductor material systems. We apply the method to enable growth of ultra-low noise QDs across an entire 3-inch semiconductor wafer.","note":"","tags":"","weight":678} ] } ; ajaxResultsLoaded(_ajax_res);
