Magnetron sputtered single Fe films have been “softened” magnetically by controlled N-doping during the sputter deposition. This technique allows a reduction in grain size and coercivity of the Fe films, without decreasing the saturation magnetizatio...

Predation by generalist predators is difficult to study in the field because of the complex effects of positive and negative interactions within and between predator species and guilds. Predation can be monitored by molecular means, through identific... Read More about Detection of secondary predation by PCR analyses of the gut contents of invertebrate generalist predators.
