Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) has been used for the first time to study post-synthetic linker exchange (PSE) in metal-organic frameworks. RBS is a non-invasive method to quantify the amount of introduced linker, as well as providing a means for depth profiling in order to identify the preferred localization of the introduced linker. The exchange of benzenedicarboxylate (bdc) by s...

The effect of chemical treatment in CdCl2 on the compositional changes and defect structures of potentially useful ZnS solar cell thin films prepared by vacuum deposition method was studied using the complementary Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and Thermoluminesence (TL) techniques. A series of electron and hole traps are found in the various as deposited samples studied. After treatment, pert...

Reordering Based Synthesis (RBS) as an alternative approach to manipulate Decision Diagrams (DDs) is presented. Based on the concept of operation nodes a single \core" operation, i.e. an extended Level Exchange (LE), is suucient to perform the usual synthesis operations on several types of DDs. RBS allows the integration of dynamic variable ordering (even) within a single synthesis operation (e...

Exact mapping of gene starts is an important problem in the computer-assisted functional analysis of newly sequenced prokaryotic genomes. We describe an algorithm for finding ribosomal binding sites without a learning sample. This algorithm is particularly useful for analysis of genomes with little or no experimentally mapped genes. There is a clear correlation between the ribosomal binding sit...

All retinoblastomas (RBs) show genomic changes in addition to loss of both RB1 alleles. Quantitative-multiplex PCR analysis identified in 41 of 70 (59%) RBs a 0.6-Mb minimal region of chromosome 6p22 gain from which we cloned the human kinesin gene, RBKIN/KIF13A, by rapid amplification of retinal cDNA. RBKIN is expressed ubiquitously in adult tissues, at low levels in fetal tissues, and at high...

Epitaxial thin films of Y-doped SrZrO3 have been grown on MgO~001! by pulsed laser deposition. The deposition process has been performed at temperatures of 1000–1200 °C and at an oxygen pressure of 1.5310 mbar. The samples are characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry/channeling ~RBS/C! and x-ray diffraction ~XRD!. We found an epitaxial relationship of SrZrO3 (0k0) @101#iMgO ~001!...

The paper reports on implantation damage accumulation, Ag distribution and the interior morphology in different crystallographic orientations of implanted samples cubic yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ). (100)-, (110)- (111)-oriented YSZ was with 400-keV Ag+ ions at ion fluences from 5 × 1014 to 1016 cm?2. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) channelling mode (RBS-C), as well X-ray diffr...
