Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) measurements of environmental 14C have been employed during the past decade at the several micromole level (10's of ug carbon), but advanced research in the atmospheric and marine sciences demands still higher
A bibliography was prepared consisting of references to experimental data for thermophysical properties of mixtures of natural gas components. The bibliography is based on a search of Chemical Abstracts citations from January 1980 to May 1998. The search

8-oxoguanine (G*), induced by reactive oxygen species, is mutagenic because it mispairs with A. The major G*-DNA glycosylase (OGG), namely, OGG1 in eukaryotes, or MutM in Escherichia coli, excises G* when paired in DNA with C, G and T, but not A

Atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an important factor in the production of ozone near ground level [3]. Many hydrocarbons origanate from auto exhaust. However, a number of VOCs e.g., isoprene, are known to be natural in origin. To develop
The cell parameters, optical properties and chemical composition of 103 samples in the tremolite-actinolite-ferro-actinolite series have been measured. The combination of properties and the large number of samples provided a powerful means of determining

This report investigates the effect of DNA length and the presence of an anchoring group on the assembly of pre-synthesized oligonucleotides at a gold surface. The work seeks to advance fundamental insight into issues that impact the structure and behavior
Lispix is a public domain image processing system designed for use by microscopists. It runs on both Windows and Macintosh. Some of its features are described.
Phosphor Imaging Plate Technology is applied to electron beam scattering in the Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope. The plate is exposed to primary and scattered electrons which stimulate the phosphor grains to an excited state. The intensity of
Continuous wave excitation cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) is being evaluated for real time chemical sensing of volatile CVD byproducts (e.g. HF, H2O) and as a quantitative and robust metrology tool for advanced process control methodologies.
A Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) study has been undertaken to examine surfaces and films modified in the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). Examination of the modifications induced by ESEM electrons and ions lead to a better

Standard test data for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS-STD) have been developed for determining bias and random error in peak parameters derived from curve fitting in XPS. The XPS-STD are simulated C 1s spectra from spline polynomial models of
