Epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films of 130nm were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 buffered SrTiO3 (001) substrate at various temperatures under different ambient oxygen pressures.Reciprocal space mapping reveals that, with decreasing temperature and oxygen pressure, the broadly reported monoclinic phase (MA) of BiFe
Price Transparency for Primary Care Office Visits and Routine Tests: Results From a 2016 Audit Study
Introduction: Price transparency is a central component of the shift from volume to value in healthcare delivery.Price transparency in primary care, the most common point of contact with the healthcare system for patients in the U.S., has not been widely studied.Methods: Using an audit study across 10 states in 2016, we examined the characteristics
Experimental Comparison of Two Modifications of Activated Sludge for Treatment of Furfural-Containing Wastewater
A case study is presented in which two modifications of activated sludge treatment of complex chemical wastewater are experimentally compared: a combination of common activated sludge with powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT), and bioaugmentation of activated sludge treatment (BAST).Industrial wastewater of Pars Oil Refinery that was passed t
A case study of male tawny owl (Strix aluco) vocalizations in South Korea: call feature, individuality, and the potential use for census
Vocal individuality has been used as a monitoring tool, and two criteria are a prerequisite: high variation among individuals and low variation within individuals, and vocal consistency within and across seasons.We examined individual variation in the territorial hoot calls of the tawny owl (Strix aluco) to discriminate between males and to assess
