UNEXPECTED ATTRACTION OF POLAROTACTIC WATER-LEAVING INSECTS TO MATT BLACK CAR SURFACES: MATTNESS OF PAINTWORK CANNOT ELIMINATE THE POLARIZED LIGHT POLLUTION OF BLACK CARS.

Unexpected attraction of polarotactic water-leaving insects to matt black car surfaces: mattness of paintwork cannot eliminate the polarized light pollution of black cars.

The horizontally polarizing surface parts of shiny black cars (the reflection-polarization characteristics of which are similar to those of water surfaces) attract water-leaving polarotactic insects.Thus, shiny black cars are typical sources of polarized light pollution endangering water-leaving insects.A new fashion fad is to make car-bodies matt

Hydroponic Lettuce Cultivation with Organic Liquid Fertilizer: Examining Bacterial Inhibition and Phosphate Solubilization

This study explores organic hydroponic cultivation as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers amid global supply challenges.With rising costs and the depletion of conventional nitrogen sources, organic liquid fertilizers are gaining attention for their microbial enrichment processes (MEP) that convert organic matter into plant-accessible

Device performance enhancement via a Si-rich silicon oxynitride buffer layer for the organic photodetecting device

Abstract An advanced organic photodetector (OPD) with a butter layer of Si-rich silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) was fabricated.The detector structure is as follows: Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate/SiOxNy(10 nm)/naphthalene-based donor:C60(1:1)/ITO.Values of x and y in SiOxNy were carefully controlled and the detector performances such as
