Carrier Transport and Electrical Bandgaps in Epitaxial CrN Layers

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transport properties and electrical bandgap of nominally undoped ≈$\approx$75‐nm‐thick CrN layers simultaneously grown on AlN(0001) and AlN(112¯$\bar{2}$2) templates using plasma‐assisted molecular beam epitaxy are investigated. The layers grown on AlN(0001) and AlN(112¯$\bar{2}$2) exhibit (111) and (113) surface orientations, respectively.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Impact of silicon-based fertilizer and salicylic acid on the population density of Brevicoryn brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its parasitism by Diaeretiella rapae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Journal of Crop Protection, 2021
The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an important pest of rapeseed. In this study, the effects of a silicon-based fertilizer, silicate potassium (SP), and salicylic acid (SA) on inducing resistance in rapeseed to the aphid ...

Feature Disentangling and Combination Implemented by Spin–Orbit Torque Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Spin–orbit torque magnetic tunnel junctions (SOT‐MTJs) enable efficient feature disentangling and integration in image data. A proposed algorithm leverages SOT‐MTJs as true random number generators to disentangle and recombine features in real time, with experimental validation on emoji and facial datasets.

A practitioner’s perspective on what we know about safeguarding pollinators on farmland

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Farmers understand the general importance of pollinators, and through their management of cropped land and non-cropped areas on the farm they have the potential to do more than any other group to help provide habitat and food for pollinating insects ...

Stranger Rape or Impromptu Consensual Sex? Investigating Mock Juror Decision‐Making in a Genuine Contested Rape Trial

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to better understand juror decision‐making in a less typical rape trial scenario where even prior acquaintance is disputed. Adopting an improved mock trial paradigm including a video‐recorded recreation of a genuine rape allegation and jury‐group deliberation, 156 jury‐eligible participants took part in 1 of 13 ...

Modelling Sustainability Performance in Manufacturing Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nowadays, organisations need to operate with economic, social and environmental goals in mind. Indices objectively quantify such goals; hence, an organisation can develop and compare policies based on future index values. We propose a system dynamics‐based model of a manufacturing company that frames its operations in terms of a set of easily ...
