SEM Investigation of ZnO and CdO–ZnO Layers Grown by Sol-Gel Technology and a Multifractal Analysis of their Surface Depending on Synthesis Conditions

Introduction. Super-thin films of zinc oxide regarded as transparent electrodes can be integrated in effective semiconductor heterostructures for use in modern infrared photo electronics and solar power installations. The most important parameter of zinc oxide thin layers is their surface nanorelief, which can be effectively studied using SEM spectroscopy. SEM images allow for a quantitative description of the surface depending on the synthesis conditions using the method of multifractal analysis. Such an approach reveals quantitative relationships between the fractal parameters of the surface topography of the layers in these systems and the temperature regimes used for their final annealing in conventional sol-gel technology.Aim. To reveal quantitative relationships between the fractal parameters of the surface topography of layers in the Zn–O & Zn–Cd–O systems and the temperature conditions of their final annealing. The MFA method was used for a quantitative description of the surface state depending on the synthesis conditions.Materials and methods. Super-thin films in the ZnO and ZnO–CdO systems were synthesized using a modified sol-gel technology. The temperature-concentration ranges of the parameters of the modified technological process, which allows high-quality layers of the material to be reproducibly obtained on a glass substrate, were determined. The surface morphology was investigated by SEM spectroscopy depending on the temperature of the final annealing of the layers. SEM images of the surface served as a basis for multifractal analysis (MFA) of the surface area and volume of nanoforms, which are formed on the surface of the obtained layers thus determining their surface relief.Results. Renyi’s numbers and the parameters of fractal ordering in MFA were chosen as fractal parameters for describing the nano-geometry of the layer surface. MFA was applied to the description of both the surface areas and volumes of nanoforms. Quantitative correlations between Renyi’s numbers, as well as the parameters of fractal ordering for the areas and volumes of surface nanoforms, and the temperature of the final annealing were found.Conclusion. The numerical values of Renyi’s numbers for the surface and volume characteristics of the surface of layers were used to assess the effect of the fractality of the surface on the molar surface energy of the film. Consideration of the fractal geometry of nanoforms with their characteristic sizes smaller than 5·103μm shows the possibility of both an increase in the surface energy of the resulting film and its decrease when changing the characteristic sizes of nanoforms. The latter effect is due to the formation of a highly porous surface at the nano levelIntroduction.

Clinical manifestations of Grinspan–Potekaev syndrome on the buccal mucous membrane (a case report)

Grinspan–Potekaev syndrome is a rare disorder facing dentists in practical activity. That is why the detailed analysis of the disease clinical course peculiarities is important and urgently needed. The aim of the work: to analyze the clinical course of Grinspan–Potekaev syndrome on the buccal mucous membrane using the example of a patient treatment in the dental clinic Denta Plus (Zhytomyr city). Materials and methods. Bibliosemantic method (analysis, correlation, comparison, generalization, systematization of scientific literature on the studied issues), system analysis and logical generalization (for developing the algorithm of diagnostics and treatment), medical documentation analysis of the patient, who sought medical assistance in the dental clinic Denta Plus, were used. Results. The clinical course of Grinspan–Potekaev syndrome on the buccal mucous membrane was described and analyzed. The conducted diagnostic methods allowed to determine the diagnosis, to develop and to apply the complex drug therapy that positively influenced the general well-being, promoted the transformation of erosive-ulcerous form of lichen planus into less aggressive and safer exudative-hyperaemic one. The difficulties during the diagnostic and differential diagnostic stages concerned the fact that typical skin lesions were not observed and the “fern pattern” on the buccal mucous membrane (within the period of exacerbation) was not clear. Besides, the patient did not have any complaints specific to diabetes mellitus, therefore a blood glucose level and glycemic profile were determined only in the process of case follow-up, the patient was further referred to an endocrinologist, who diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusions. The described case of Grinspan–Potekaev syndrome allowed to analyze the clinical course of the disease in the oral cavity within the exacerbation period and to examine the components of diagnostic and treatment process. The treatment response in Grinspan–Potekaev syndrome (with isolated manifestations of lichen planus on the buccal mucous membrane) depends not only on a dentist competence but also on cooperation between other specialists: dermatologist, oncologist, psychotherapist, family physician, and endocrinologist. Despite the positive clinical effect, the need to follow-up the further course of the disease is associated with the possibility of erosive-ulcerous form of lichen planus relapses and its malignant transformation

Influence of tree-crown density on dominant plant species of the herb-shrub stratum in the zone of mixed forests

Forest ecosystems are among the most complex and dynamic biological systems of our planet. They play an important role in sustaining biodiversity, regulating the climate, and preserving water resources. Furthermore, they serve as natural filters, improving the quality of soil and air, and also preventing erosive processes. Forests create unique conditions for life of various species of plants and animals, which contributes to maintenance of the natural biodiversity and supports the stability of the ecosystem. Likewise, forests are important for the carbon cycle. They absorb a large amount of carbon, thus hindering global warming. Therefore, forest ecosystems are of paramount ecological value and their preservation is crucial for a balanced functioning of the planet. Our studies were carried out in the forest ecosystems of the Desna-Starohutskyi National Park, which is in the Ukrainian Polissia. The materials and methods of the study included systematic collection of the data on density of tree crowns, and also records of diversity of plants of the herb-shrub stratum in the chosen forest areas. Those data were analyzed using statistical methods. The study results revealed that the crown density has a significant effect on diversity of herb-shrub plants in the lower forest strata. Increase in crown density correlated with decrease in the light availability in the herb-shrub stratum. Change in the crown density towards increase significantly altered the conditions for competition between herbaceous and shrub species. Decrease in light availability led to shift in the competition ratio between the species, promoting dominance of more shade-loving species. Increase in crown density, which often reached 100%, made the competition more severe, especially for key resources (light, water, and nutrients). Because of this, species diversity in the herb-shrub stratum of the forest ecosystems was observed to decrease, and less adapted species were extruded. In general, change in tree-crown density in the forest ecosystem had a significant effect on the dynamics of herbaceous and shrub species, changing competitive relations and the structure of those plant communities. The results we obtained expand the knowledge about interactions between crown density and the structure of herb-shrub stratum, which gives perspectives for more efficient management of forest resources, and can also improve scientific identification and implementation of measures for protection of forest ecosystems

YbPd2In : A promising candidate for strong entropy accumulation at very low temperature

We report on synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic, thermodynamic, and transport properties of the compound YbPd2In, crystallizing as a Heusler structure type. A trivalent state of the rare earth was determined by fitting the magnetic susceptibility with a Curie-Weiss law. This compound is characterized by showing very weak magnetic interactions and a negligible Kondo effect. A specific-heat jump was observed at T 48250mK, followed at higher temperature by a power-law decrease of CP(T)/T. The resulting large electronic entropy increase at very low temperature is rapidly shifted to higher temperature by the application of magnetic field. This magnetocaloric effect places YbPd2In as a very good candidate for adiabatic demagnetization cooling processes
