In the AuNR synthesis step, SA family additives in the presence of low concentration of CTAB (50 mM) serve as both the prereducing agent and the cofactor in nanorod growth. At an optimum additive/CTAB ratio (0.1–0.2), AuNRs grow to the longest length. At low additive concentrations, the gold seeds do not grow. At high concentrations, the longitudinal growth of AuNRs is disrupted because the excessive additive disturbs the ligand structure, leading to more isotropic growth. In the Pd overgrowth step, Pd starts to grow from both ends for AuNRs synthesized at optimum additive/CTAB ratios. Feeding more Pd grows the particles into a core–shell structure, possibly because there lacks a tight ligand layer on Pd that favors the longitudi...}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C}, author={Ortiz, Nathalia and Hong, Soung Joung and Fonseca, Francini and Liu, Yang and Wang, Gufeng}, year={2017}, month={Jan}, pages={1876–1883} }

Both MWLs and TLs showed similar DSC curves with two exothermic peaks (referred to as peaks 1 and 2). Also, maximum temperatures for MWL peaks were higher than for TL peaks, with an average of 20 and 10 °C for the first peak and second peak, respectively. Even though calculated enthalpies for MWLs were higher because of their purities, TLs had reasonable relationships between heat values and lignin substructures. TL had a positive correlation between condensed structures and the enthalpy value between 413 and 428 °C, but negative relationships were found at the latter temperature window for lignin substructures,...}, number={2}, journal={Energy & Fuels}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Silva, Teresa Cristina Fonseca and Santos, Ricardo Baillerini and Jameel, Hasan and Colodette, Jorge Luiz and Lucia, Lucian A.}, year={2012}, month={Feb}, pages={1315–1322} }

In Experiment I, 0, 100 or 200 microg of GnRH was given to 22 suckled Angus x Holstein cows at three and again at five weeks postpartum. Serum luteinizing hormone (LH) responses did not differ between cows given 100 or 200 microg of GnRH. Treatment with GnRH tended to increase the percentage of cows exhibiting estrus by 30 and 60 days postpartum, but reproductive performance during the breeding season did not differ among groups. In Experiment II, 70 suckled Hereford cows were given either no treatment or 200 microg of GnRH at 7 weeks postpartum. Cows given GnRH received either no treatment prior to GnRH or were separated from their calves for 24 hr prior to GnRH treatment. Half of the cows that were separated from their calves also received progesterone via a progesterone intravaginal device (PRID) for 12 days prior to calf removal. Treatment with GnRH alone tended to increase the percentage of anestrous cows which ovulated by 8 days after treatment. Calf removal did not increase the ovulatory response to GnRH, but PRID treatment did. More estrous periods were detected in GnRH-treated cows than in control cows during 20 days after GnRH treatment.}, number={2}, journal={THERIOGENOLOGY}, author={FONSECA, FA and BRITT, JH and KOSUGIYAMA, M and RITCHIE, HD and DILLARD, EU}, year={1980}, pages={171–181} }
