We have detected emission by the CO(5-4) and (6-5) rotational transitions at z=5.7722+/-0.0006 from the host galaxy of the SDSS quasar J0927+2001 using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. The peak...
From flooded to aerobic conditions in rice cultivation: consequences for zinc uptake (2006)
Gao, X., Zou, C., Fan, X., Zhang, F.S., Hoffland, E.
Scarcity of water causes a shift from flooded to aerobic conditions for rice production in zinc deficient areas in Northern China. This shift alters soil conditions that affect zinc availability to...
Spectroscopic observations and analysis of the unusual type Ia SN 1999ac (2005)
