A precision polarimeter has been developed to measure the linear polarization degree of Rayleigh scattered light. Application is made to measurement of the linear depolarization spectrum of atomic Cs in the vicinity of the 6s S1/2→6p P j resonance transition. For measurements in an ;220 cm range around the 6s S1/2→6p P3/2 resonance transition, the ratio of line strengths for the two resonance t...

BACKGROUND Duplication of the distal part of chromosome 6p is a rare genetic syndrome. Renal involvement has been reported in the majority of patients, including a wide range of congenital abnormalities of kidney and urinary tract and, occasionally, a proteinuric glomerulopathy. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report a 13-year-old girl with 6p25.3p22.1 duplication who presented with proteinuria in...

A system of three external cavity diode lasers is used to excite Rydberg states in rubidium. The 5S→5P→5D transitions are driven using lasers with λ = 780 and 776 nm respectively. From the 5D state, atoms fluoresce down to the 6P state. The final transition to Rydberg levels is from the 6P state with laser light near λ = 1016 nm. The nS and nD Rydberg states are accessible directly and with the...

We have raised specific antibodies against the PRP6 protein and shown that the U4, U5 and U6 snRNAs are co-precipitated with this protein. Using splicing extracts prepared from in vivo heat-inactivated cells, we have characterized the prp4-1 and prp6-1 biochemical defects. In inactivated prp4-1 cell extracts, the U6 snRNA content as well as the U6, U4/U6 snRNPs and the [U4/U6.U5] tri-snRNP part...

The collisional shift of a transition constitutes an important systematic effect in highprecision spectroscopy. Accurate values for van der Waals interaction coefficients are required in order to evaluate the distance-dependent frequency shift. We here consider the interaction of excited hydrogen 6P atoms with metastable atoms (in the 2S state), in order to explore the influence of quasi-degene...

Surface plasmon polariton excitation was demonstrated by fluorescent light from organic para-hexaphenylene (p-6P) nanofibers grown directly on a silver thin film surface. We show results of both photoluminescence lifetime measurements and angle-resolved leakage radiation spectroscopy in the range 420–620 nm, which corresponds to material band. The optical characteristics randomly oriented p-6P ...

Uncontrollable sodium dendrite growth results in poor cycling performance and severe safety issues, hindering practical applications of metal batteries (SMBs). To stabilize anodes (SMAs), various strategies have been developed including employing anode hosts electrolyte additives to establish protective layers. Nevertheless, the understanding interaction mechanisms between materials SMAs is sti...

A network an IPv6 wireless multi-hop built (Timeslotted Channel Hopping) links. medium access 802.15.4 which provides deterministic properties, and increases robustness against external interference. scheduling function computes communication schedule determines performance indicators such as end-to-...

on 6p. In our own analysis, an intrageneic marker derived from this gene cosegregated with the adRP disease locus with zero recombination (lod score 5.46 at q = .00). Using the CEPH reference panel, we now report the mapping of the peripherin-RDS gene relative to other 6p markers in the CEPH data base. Incorporation of these data into a multipoint analysis produced a lod score for adRP of 8.21,...
