Polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells based on low bandgap polymer:fullerene blends are promising for next generation low‐cost photovoltaics. While these solution‐processed solar cells are compatible with large‐scale roll‐to‐roll processing, active layers used for typical laboratory‐scale devices are too thin to ensure high manufacturing yields. Furthermore, due to the limited light absorption and optical interference within the thin active layer, the external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells are severely limited. In order to produce polymer solar cells with high yields, efficient solar cells with a thick active layer must be demonstrated. In this work, the performance of thick‐film solar cells employing the low‐bandgap polymer poly(dithienogermole‐thienopyrrolodione) (PDTG‐TPD) was demonstrated. Power conversion efficiencies over 8.0% were obtained for devices with an active layer thickness of 200 nm, illustrating the potential of this polymer for large‐scale manufacturing. Although an average EQE > 65% was obtained for devices with active layer thicknesses > 200 nm, the cell performance could not be maintained due to a reduction in fill factor. By comparing our results for PDTG‐TPD solar cells with similar P3HT‐based devices, we investigated the loss mechanisms associated with the limited device performance observed for thick‐film low‐bandgap polymer solar cells. 相似文献

Ectomycorrhizal fungi constitute an important component of forest ecosystems that enhances plant nutrition and resistance against stresses. Diversity of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi is, however, affected by host plant diversity and soil heterogeneity. This study provides information about the influence of host plants and soil resources on the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal fruiting bodies from rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on the presence of fungal fruiting bodies, significant differences in the number of ectomycorrhizal fungi species existed between forest stand types (p < 0.001). The most ectomycorrhizal species‐rich forest was the Gilbertiodendron dewevrei‐dominated forest (61 species). Of all 93 species of ectomycorrhizal fungi, 19 demonstrated a significant indicator value for particular forest stand types. Of all analysed edaphic factors, the percentage of silt particles was the most important parameter influencing EcM fungi host plant tree distribution. Both host trees and edaphic factors strongly affected the distribution and diversity of EcM fungi. EcM fungi may have developed differently their ability to successfully colonise root systems in relation to the availability of nutrients. 相似文献

Comparison of the Biochemistry and Rates of Synthesis of Mesosomal and Peripheral Membranes in Bacillus subtilis 总被引:10,自引:6,他引:4
The membrane vesicle (beaded chain) portion of the mesosomes and peripheral (ghost) membrane of Bacillus subtilis were obtained by protoplast lysis and separated by differential and sucrose gradient centrifugation. Electron microscopy revealed that both fractions were satisfactorily homogeneous. Comparison of the two membrane preparations showed that they were similar with respect to total protein, total phosphorus, and lipid-soluble phosphorus content. Their protein patterns on acrylamide gel electrophreograms did not differ significantly. A possible point of distinction was revealed by a difference spectrum analysis of their cytochromes. The two preparations showed clear quantitative differences in all five of the enzyme activities assayed. Acrylamide gel electrophreograms of peripheral membrane stained for malate dehydrogenase showed four weak isozyme bands, whereas electrophreograms of mesosome membranes exhibited a single strong peak. (A survey of published data on enzymes in mesosome fractions shows a marked lack of correspondence between different species of bacteria.) Comparison of (3)H-acetate incorporation into the two membrane fractions showed that both were labeled at the same rate. Similarly, (35)SO(4) was taken up by both fractions at a comparable rate and was chased from both comparably. Lipid and protein labeling thus indicates that mesosome vesicle membrane is not a precursor or special growing point of peripheral membrane. 相似文献

Mitochondrial DNAs of six morphologically different Phytophthora species were digested with 15 restriction enzymes. The numbers of restriction fragments obtained differed considerably from those theoretically expected for random base distribution. Enzymes with relatively many G and C in their recognition sequences produced significantly larger numbers of fragments. Moreover, fragments generated by most of these enzymes were more often shared by two or more species than those from enzymes with more A and T in their recognition sequence. It is concluded that base distribution in mitochondrial DNA of Phytophthora is heterogeneous,AT-rich stretches occurring scattered over the mitochondrial genome and GC-rich regions present in conserved sequences, presumably genes. A practical consequence for taxonomic RFLP studies is that optimal enzymes can be selected, depending on the desired level of resolution. 相似文献

The 18S ribosomal RNAs of 21 tetrapods were sequenced and aligned with five
published tetrapod sequences. When the coelacanth was used as an outgroup,
Lissamphibia (living amphibians) and Amniota (amniotes) were found to be
statistically significant monophyletic groups. Although little resolution
was obtained among the lissamphibian taxa, the amniote sequences support a
sister-group relationship between birds and mammals. Portions of the 28S
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule in 11 tetrapods also were sequenced, although
the phylogenetic results were inconclusive. In contrast to previous
studies, deletion or down- weighting of base-paired sites were found to
have little effect on phylogenetic relationships. Molecular evidence for
amniote relationships is reviewed, showing that three genes
(beta-hemoglobin, myoglobin, and 18S rRNA) unambiguously support a
bird-mammal relationship, compared with one gene (histone H2B) that favors
a bird- crocodilian clade. Separate analyses of four other genes (alpha-
crystallin A, alpha-hemoglobin, insulin, and 28S rRNA) and a combined
analysis of all sequence data are inconclusive, in that different groups
are defined in different analyses and none are strongly supported. It is
suggested that until sequences become available from a broader array of
taxa, the molecular evidence is best evaluated at the level of individual
genes, with emphasis placed on those studies with the greatest number of
taxa and sites. When this is done, a bird-mammal relationship is most
strongly supported. When regarded in combination with the morphological
evidence for this association, it must be considered at least as plausible
as a bird-crocodilian relationship.

Plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D) concentration was shown to decrease during bed rest in several studies when baseline plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentration was sub-optimal. Dahl salt-sensitive female (S) rats, but not Dahl salt-resistant female (R) rats, demonstrated a 50% decrease in plasma 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2D3) concentration after 28 days of hind limb unloading (HU, disuse model) during low salt intake (0.3%). We tested the vitamin D endocrine system response of female S rats to hind limb unloading during high salt intake (2%, twice that of standard rat chow to mimic salt intake in the USA). Hind limb unloading resulted in lower plasma 25-OHD3 concentrations in S-HU rats than in R-HU rats (P < 0.05) and greater urinary loss of 25-OHD3 by S-HU rats than by S rats (P < 0.05). Plasma 1,25-(OH)2D3 concentration of S-HU rats was half that of S rats, but was unchanged in R-HU rats. The association of low plasma 25-OHD concentration with decrease in plasma 1,25-(OH)2D concentration of hind limb unloaded rats and of bed rest participants (published studies) suggests that low vitamin D status might be a risk factor for decrease in plasma vitamin D hormone concentration during long-term immobilization or bed rest. 相似文献
