In this research, the effect of temperature and anodizing voltage on the morphology and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes which were fabricated in the organic electrolyte containing sodium carbonate as an additive was investigated. The FESEM results indicate that by increasing temperature, the growth rate, wall thickness of nanotubes decreased and disordered nanotube was fabricated. Besides, the photocatalytic activity of nanotubes was decreased as well. Furthermore, enhancing the anodizing voltage from 30 to 50 V leads to improvement of morphology and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes.

The temperature rate growth dependence and the relative variable fluorescence, (Fv/Fm) of some of marine planktonic algae from the culture collections were investigated. The algae optima temperature growth (Topt), upper and lower limits tolerant zone of species, and in some cases, changes in the dynamics of these parameters outside the tolerance zone were determined. The similarity of species temperature characteristics with vegetation conditions these species in the nature was observed. Prolonged stress exposure to low positive temperature (4–6°C) was reversible; recovery of the growth rate and Fv/Fm was observed immediately after the increase of temperature. At temperatures above Topt on 2–3°C for diatoms was observed gradual degradation of culture, which, depending on the duration of exposure can lead to the death of the algae. Dinoflagellate species of the summer growing season had higher temperature resistance, and remained viable at temperatures above 5–8°C high Topt, due to lower growth rates. Rising part temperature dependence of the rate of growth approximated by a linear relation, the regression coefficient is 0.08–0.13 for diatoms and 0.03–0.11 for dinophyte. The normalized values for this parameter (the relative value of change in the growth rate, %) was 5.3±0.4 for diatoms and 6.4±0.5 for dinophyte at 1°C of temperature change. For dinophyte species were also been observed larger values of the parameter Q10. The value Fv/Fm for most species had high values in the whole temperature range, in which maintained a stable growth of algae. The fall of this parameter was observed in increasing the border of tolerance zone, and was associated with inhibition of thermal growth processes.

The article presents the results of the influence of a coniferous energy supplement on the dynamics of live weight and average daily gains of calves. It has been established that the inclusion of a coniferous energy supplement in the diets of calves from 15 to 89 g per head per day from 1 to 6 months of age provides a stable growth rate of calves during the dairy rearing period.

Effect of NaAc on the anodic growth of TiO2 nanotube arrays is described. NaAc-added approach yields longer nanotubes relative to samples grown from NaAc-free electrolyte. And the growth rate of TiO2 nanotubes has pH independency in NaAc-added electrolytes. The key to achieve a high aspect ratio TiO2 nanotube arrays is to decrease the chemical dissolution rate at the mouth of the tube by adding NaAc as protective coating. Adsorption of Ac- species on the TiO2 surface is shown to markedly decrease the chemical dissolution rate of the tube mouth, resulting in longer nanotube length.

The modified crucible in the top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method was proposed to get the stable growth condition and the enhanced growth rate. The temperature gradient and the distribution of dissolved carbon in the solvent were obtained by numerical approaches. Compared simulation results and experiment, we investigated the region where is the most of dissolved carbon and it is supplied to the seed through what path. The cross-sectional samples of crucibles and grown SiC crystals were systematically analyzed to investigate the effect of the crucible modification on SiC crystal growth.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (TN) are an ideal nano-structured materials due to its promising applications in various scientific areas. Highly ordered TN arrays (TNAs) fabricated by electrochemical anodization proved to one of the exciting achievements during the past decades. In this paper, we did a series of experiments to investigate the influence of anodization parameters on the growth rate and morphology of the TNAs. And the results suggested that the anodization voltage, as well as the concentration of the anodization electrolyte, had a significant impact on the morphology of the TNAs. In-depth discussion for the TNAs was also presented.

We performed solution growth of SiC single crystals from Si-Ti-C ternary solution using the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT). It was confirmed that the growth rate exceeding 200 μm/hr was achievable by several ACRT conditions. This high growth rate might be due to the enhancement of the carbon transport from the graphite crucible to the growth interface using the ACRT. Moreover, the incorporation of inclusions of the Si-Ti solvent in the grown crystal was significantly suppressed by using the ACRT. It was thought that the intensive convection near the growth interface resulted in not only the marked increase of SiC growth rate but also the superior homogeneity in the surface morphology. It was concluded that faster stable growth can be accomplished in the SiC solution growth using the ACRT.

Divergence in the growth pattern of Pigeon Lake and Buck Lake whiteflsh (Coregonus clupeaformis) began during the winter months in young-of-the-year fish. The growth rate of individuals in the Pigeon Lake whitefish population has declined over the past 12 years whereas individuals in the Buck Lake population have maintained a relatively stable growth pattern. These differences did not appear to be genetically controlled. Increased interspecific and intraspecific competition for the available food supply likely suppressed the growth rate of the Pigeon Lake whitefish population. Reduction of predator numbers in Pigeon Lake by the removal of habitat and increased angling pressure accelerated recruitment to both the white-fish population and other competitive feeding forage fish. A predator–prey relationship conducive to the maintenance of a faster growing lake whitefish population has been maintained in Buck Lake over the same period of time.
