Superconductor/Insulator Metal-Oxide Heterostructures for Electric Field Tunable Microwave Devices
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996It is desirable to have active circuit elements to be used in superconducting microwave device applications. Among various methods to modulate the microwave response of a circuit (i.e. obtain active response), the electric field induced modulation has clear advantages such as low energy consumption, input-output current isolation and high input...

Joint Device for Capacitive Microwave Coupling
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996It has already been demonstrated that for a number of microwave device applications devices made of metal-oxide superconductors such as YBa2Cu3O7 can have performance superior to those made of conventional metals such as Au or Cu. Some of the major obstacles to their implementation in a wide range of systems applications arise from (1) the costly...

A Method for Improving the Germinability of Seeds
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996The germination rate of crop seeds influences the final yield of crops planted by a farmer, yet currently there is no effective method for ensuring a high seed germination rate. In particular, seeds that have been stored for any length of time tend to show lower germination rates over time.A researcher at Salisbury State University, in...

Bacterial Strains and imp Mutations that Result in Altered Cellular Permeability
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996Bacteria are a major cause of contamination in food and water-borne diseases. To eliminate and treat bacterial infections many drugs are formulated and synthesized. Chemicals synthesized as potential anti microbial compounds and/or therapeutic drugs need to be tested for their efficacy. To do this, a good screening system with a test bacteria is...
