The Efficiency Droop of InGaN-Based Green LEDs with Different Superlattice Growth Temperatures on Si Substrates via Temperature-Dependent Electroluminescence

InGaN-based green light-emitting diodes （LEDs） with different growth temperatures of superlattice grown on Si （111） substrates are investigated by temperature-dependent electroluminescence between 100 K and 350K. It is observed that with the decrease of the growth temperature of the superlattice from 895℃ to 855℃, the forward voltage decreases, especially at low temperature. We presume that this is due to the existence of the larger average size of V-shaped pits, which is determined by secondary ion mass spectrometer measurements. Meanwhile, the sample with higher growth temperature of superlattice shows a severer efficiency droop at cryogenic temperatures （about 100 K-150 K）. Electron overflow into p-GaN is considered to be the cause of such phenomena, which is relevant to the poorer hole injection into multiple quantum wells and the more reduced effective active volume in the active region.

Employment of mud-pulse generator for improvement of efficiency of a wellbore producing in complex mining and geological conditions

In this study,the employment of mud-pulse generators to improve the efficiency of wellbores under complex mining and geological conditions is examined.A systemic analysis is made of the primary theoretical basis of the study.The benefits of a mud-pulse generator(a high-impulse hydraulic hammer)for wellbore production are stated based on the presented theoretical basis.The results not only show the benefits of mud-pulse generator employment but also provide an analysis of methods that can be used to improve the high-impulse hydraulic hammer efficiency.The acquired results have a substantial practical value not only for specialists,who research,develop,and manage wellbore operations,but also for engineers,who improve the process and modernize existing wellbores,and other experts in the field of wellbore production.

Overexpression of Stella improves the efficiency of nuclear transfer reprogramming

In mammalians, the state of a somatic cell can be reversed from the terminal state to the totipotent state by means of somatic cell nuclear transfer （SCNT） （Gurdon, 1962） or induced pluripotent stem cells （iPSCs） （Takahashi and Yamanaka, 2006）. The DNA methylation and transcriptome profiles of embryonic stern cells （ESCs） derived from SCNT embryos （NT-ESCs） correspond closely to those of ESCs derived from in vitro fertilization embryos （IVF- ESCs）. In contrast, iPSCs differ from both NT-ESCs and IVF-ESCs in that they retain the residual DNA methylation patterns of their parental somatic cells. As SCNT can be used to faithfully reprogram human somatic cells to pluripotency, it is ideal for cell replacement therapies （Ma et al., 2014）. Following the successful production of the first human NT-ESCs （Tachibana et al., 2013） and the later gen- eration of human NT-ESCs based on cells from elderly adults or pa- tient cells （Chung et al., 2014; Yamada et al., 2014）, a version of the SCNT technique for human therapeutics comes closer to reality. However, no matter what animal species or donor cell types are used in the cloned process, the cloning efficiency remains undesir- able. Besides, there are many phenotypic abnormalities in cloned animals, containing frequent embryonic and perinatal death and placentomegaly, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear （Yang et al, 2007）.

Ligand density control boosts the efficiency of all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystal based light emitting diodes

Lead halide perovskites attracted a lot of attention in the last several years,with a focus gradually shifting from the record power conversion efficiencies reported for photovoltaic devices based on thin perovskite films[1]towards superior

A Mathematical Model of the Photosynthetic Carbon Metabolism Has Multiple Steady States Under the Same Parameter Conditions

This paper analyzes a mathematical model of the photosynthetic carbon metabolism, which incorporates not only the Calvin-Benson cycle, but also another two important metabolic pathways： starch synthesis and photorespiratory pathway. Theoretically, the paper shows the existence of steady states, stability and instability of the steady states, the effects of CO2 concentration on steady states. Especially, a critical point is found, the system has only one steady state with C02 concentration in the left neighborhood of the critical point, but has two with C02 concentration in the right neighborhood. In addition, the paper also explores the influence of C02 concentration on the efficiency of photosynthesis. These theoretical results not only provide insight to the kinetic behaviors of the photosynthetic carbon metabolism, but also can be used to help improving the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants.
