In the present study, we characterized the intrinsic electrophysiological properties and the membrane currents activated by dopamine (DA) D(2) and GABA(B) receptors in midbrain dopaminergic neurons, maintained in vitro in a slice preparation, from wild-type and homozygous weaver (wv/wv) mice. By using patch-clamp techniques, we found that membrane potential, apparent input resistance, and spont...

We investigate, using the noise reduction technique, the asymptotic universality class of the well-studied nonequilibrium limited mobility atomistic solid-on-solid surface growth models introduced byWolf and Villain (WV) and Das Sarma and Tamborenea (DT) in the context of kinetic surface roughening in ideal molecular beam epitaxy. We find essentially all the earlier conclusions regarding the un...

A general method for obtaining species-specific repetitive DNA sequences is described. The method is based on the detection of recombinant DNA clones containing repetitive sequences using labeled total genomic DNA. These repetitive DNA sequences can be used to identify individual mosquito adults, pupae, and larvae squashed on filter membranes (squash blots). This technique was used to distingui...

The title compound, C15H9FO3, was obtained in a one-pot synthesis by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4'-chloro-2',5'-di-fluoro-aceto-phenone with o-(meth-oxy-carbon-yl)phenyl-boronic acid. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules related by a non-crystallographic inversion centre. There are face-to-face stacking inter-a...

Data replication is a technique for increasing the availability of data. Two popular algorithms for maintaining consistency among the replicas are Weighted Voting [1] and Available Copies [2] In recent papers [3] it has been shown that under common circumstances Available Copies (AC) performs better than Weighted Voting (WV). However, the issue of network partitioning due to gateway crashes is ...
