TL;DR: This study aimed to compare the validity, reliability and practicality of alternative portable methods for measuring erythemal UVR levels in passive recreation areas in public parks in Melbourne, Australia and found good agreement between the portable UVR instruments in the park setting, while the dosimeter appeared less sensitive to change in shade conditions.

TL;DR: The atomic surface and interface structures of uncoated and metal-coated epi-polished ZnO(0001) Zn-polar wafers were investigated via surface x-ray diffraction and showed the presence of a fully occupied overlayer of oxygen atoms located at the on-top position above the terminating Zn atom.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed significant polarity-related differences in the nearband-edge photoluminescence from the Zn-polar and Opolar faces of hydrothermally grown ZnO single crystals, particularly in the ionized donor bound and free exciton recombination regions.

TL;DR: It is shown that using a dosimeter or keeping a diary seems to increase attention towards the behavior examined and therefore may influence this behavior, and it is suggested to use a 1-week interval for dosimetry measurements, no diary, and to minimize the time from end of measurement to filling out questionnaires.

TL;DR: The metal oxide Schottky-like and ohmic contacts as mentioned in this paper can be formed on zinc oxide substrates using various deposition and lift-off photolithographic techniques and their barrier heights are significantly higher than those for plain metals and their ideality factors are very close to the image force controlled limit.
