DC sputtered WTi nanoparticles for solar thermal absorption: Synthesis and characterization by Abbas AL-Rjoub

“…TEM and XRD analysis confirm that the nanoparticles exhibit a crystalline-structure, predominantly in the α-W phase. The embedded WTi nanoparticles in SiAlOx layer with variation in current density from 2.6 mA/cm² to 7.8 mA/cm² provide a wide range of transmittance (T) and reflectance (R) values with specific optical constants refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) for tailored optical applications, capable to simulate a solar thermal absorber with absorptance (α) of 96.0 %.…”

Evolution of an agriculture-associated disease causing Campylobacter coli clade: evidence from national surveillance data in Scotland. by Samuel K Sheppard, John F Dallas, Daniel J Wilson, Norval J C Strachan, Noel D McCarthy, Keith A Jolley, Frances M Colles, Ovidiu Rotariu, Iain D Ogden, Ken J Forbes, Martin C J Maiden

“…Genealogical reconstruction of isolates from clinical infection, farm animals and the environment, revealed a three-clade genetic structure. The majority of farm animal, and all disease causing genotypes belonged to a single clade (clade 1) which had comparatively low synonymous sequence diversity, little deep branching genetic structure, and a higher number of shared alleles providing evidence of recent clonal decent. …”
