A striking example of the interrelation between the Golgi complex (GC) and microtubules is the reversible fragmentation and dispersal of the GC which occurs upon microtubule depolymerization. We have characterized dispersal of the GC after nocodazole treatment as well as its recovery from the dispersed state by immunofluorescent localization of beta 1, 4-galactosyltransferase in Madin-Darby bov...

We study the dynamics and arrest of two coalescing sessile yield-stress drops. Surprisingly, we find that height bridge evolves similar to a Newtonian fluid. The arrested final coalesced shape is described by balance between capillary pressure yield stress, which predicted from viscoplastic lubrication theory.

I show how to run an N-time-step Markov chain simulation in a circular fashion, so that the state at time 0 follows the state at time N ?1 in the same way as states at times t follow those at times t?1 for 0 < t < N. This wrap-around of the chain is achieved using a coupling procedure, and produces states that all have close to the equilibrium distribution of the Markov chain, under the assumpt...

Selective and lateral overgrowth by Metal Organics Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) was carried out until coalescence to produce smooth and optically flat thick GaN layers. A GaN epitaxial layer is first grown using atmospheric pressure Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy on a {0001} Al2O3. substrate. Then a 30Å silicon nitride dielectric film is deposited in-situ by reaction of silane and ammonia to...
