Tests with 10-micrograms amdinocillin disks were performed in parallel with agar dilution tests and three different ranges of inoculum density. A resistance breakpoint of less than or equal to 13 mm and an intermediate category of 14 to 16 mm are recommended. Susceptible strains provided zones greater than or equal to 17 mm in diameter, but many appeared to be resistant by the agar dilution met...

Abstract. Two types of quantum point contacts have been studied by low temperature scanning gate microscopy. In addition to the usual bright spot, which corresponds to a large conductance change at the constriction, ring structures are observed near the center of the quantum point contact. The ring diameter shrinks with increasing base conductance when the side gate voltage is changed. The ring...

The 1.25 A, 40 ns electron beam is accelerated in the 200 MeV electron linac. This beam is then focused onto a 3 rom diameter spot at the 7 rom thick (i. e., two radiation length) tungsten target. By the process of multiple nuclear-scattering the target generates the positron particles. These positrons, in general, can have a large diverging angle. The empirical formula for an angular dependenc...

Lateral mobility of molecules on cell membranes has been recently studied by fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR) techniques. The interpretation of these results in terms of diffusion along the membranes is based on the assumption that the surface is planar, although biological membranes may have blebs and microvilli. To study the effect of nonplanarity on the diffusion rate, the diffusio...

Time-of-flight laser radar devices utilizing a single heterostructure semiconductor laser diode as a light source have a measurement spot diameter from a few millimetres to several centimetres depending on the optics and the required optical output power. Inhomogeneities in the reflectivity and surface profile of a target inside the area illuminated by the laser beam can be a source of error in...

A soft x-ray microbeam using proton-induced x-ray emission (PIXE) of characteristic titanium (K(α) 4.5 keV) as the x-ray source has been developed at the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF) at Columbia University. The proton beam is focused to a 120 μm × 50 μm spot on the titanium target using an electrostatic quadrupole quadruplet previously used for the charged particle microbe...

To investigate the functional organization in the monkey inferotemporal cortex, which is the last exclusively visual area along the ventral visual cortical pathway, optical imaging based on intrinsic signals was carried out. We first conducted single-cell recordings with microelectrodes and determined the features critical for the activation of single cells. For the subsequent optical imaging, ...

As an amendment to a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) between Forschungszentrum Dresden (FZD) and JLab we have fabricated and tested after appropriate surface treatment a 1.6 cell, 1300 MHz RRR niobium photo-injector cavity to be used in a demonstration test at HZB. Following a baseline test at JLab, the cavity received a lead spot coating of ~8 mm diameter deposited with ...

Micro-friction stir spot welding (µFSSW) is one type of that suitable for joining lightweight materials. One the challenges in materials with µFSSW material easily perforated, or join not strong enough, so it necessary to select right parameters. In this article discusses about investigates micro-Friction Stir Spot Welding parameters on weld geometry, mechanical properties, and metallography di...
