The growth of many fungi, yeasts, bacteria, and viruses was inhibited by tannins. Tannins are found in many of the foods you eat, including fruits, teas, wine and edible grasses -- like corn. Tannin blocks the orifices of tiny cells in the body, which absorbs nutrient from eaten food.
The JFET is a Voltage Operated Transistor. In the N channel device, the N channel is sandwiched between two P type regions (the gate and the substrate) that are connected together electrically to form the gate. The N type channel is connected to the source and drain terminals via more heavily doped N+ type regions.
The Joule-Thomson (JT) effect is a thermodynamic process that occurs when a fluid expands from high pressure to low pressure at constant enthalpy (an isenthalpic process). Such a process can be approximated in the real world by expanding a fluid from high pressure to low pressure across a valve.
