Abstract: A vegetatively reproduced hemp (Cannabis sativa spp.) cultivar named ‘CAF#13/2020’ is distinguished from other commercially produced hemp varieties by its high cannabidiol (CBD) content, low ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, and adaptation to growing conditions in Canada and the northern United States. It is also identifiable by its unique genotype, defined by 845,500 single nucleotide polymorphisms detected against the representative reference genome cs10 (GenBank: GCA_900626175.2; RefSeq: GCF_900626175.2) at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Abstract: A silicon carbide single crystal wafer and a preparation method therefor, a silicon carbide crystal and a preparation method therefor, and a semiconductor device. The surface of the silicon carbide single crystal wafer is such that an included angle between a normal direction and a c direction is 0-8 degrees, and aggregated dislocations on the silicon carbide single crystal wafer are less than 300/cm2; the aggregated dislocation is a dislocation aggregated condition in which the distance between the geometric centers of any two corrosion pits in the corrosion pits obtained after corrosion of melted KOH is less than 80 microns. Even if the dislocation density is relatively high, the aggregated dislocation density is relatively small, thereby increasing the yield of a silicon carbide-based devices.
