Standard growth curves for bream, roach, chub and dace were constructed using published data for the British Isles. Comparison of length for age of fish from any habitat with these standard curves enables a growth index to be calculated where slow, normal and fast growth give indices less than, equal to and greater than 100, respectively.
The proportion of random localized destructive breakdown to stable electroluminescence has been varied continuously by adjusting (1) the recipe used to fabricate dc thin-film electroluminescent devices and (2) the conditions under which they have been tested. It has been shown that neither simple geometrical artifacts nor migration effects can be responsible for localized destructive breakdown. Rather, it has been established that the experiments require an explanation based on a fundamental tendency for dc thin-film electroluminescence to be associated with a current-controlled negative differential resistance which gives rise to filamentary and sometimes destructive current concentration. It is concluded that the existence and origins of such current-controlled negative differential resistance should be tested by theoretical and materials science studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
