Highly granular YBaCuO films on SrTlO, substrates wlth T,,,-90K and J,>lO' A/cm2 were prepared by non-vacuum aerosol deposition. The optical response for these films was investigated on a 10 x 10 pm2 mlcrobrldge. Besides a bolometrlc response around the transition temperature, a sharp response peak was observed at low temperature and high bias current using a He-Ne laser (0.63pm wavelength) lll...

By the use of strong denaturing agents, a genome-linked protein (VPg)-RNA complex was purified from infectious pancreatic necrosis virus. Ribonuclease treatment of 125I-labelled VPg-RNA released a 90K polypeptide identical to the minor structural polypeptide VP1 (the putative RNA polymerase), as determined by peptide mapping. The polypeptide is linked to the RNA by a serine-5' GMP phosphodieste...

Agaricus bisporus fruit bodies affected by La France disease contain a specific set of nine dsRNA molecules. A method was developed to isolate intact virus particles containing these dsRNAs. Using precautions to limit proteolysis, virus particles 34 nm in diameter were banded in a Nycodenz gradient together with the nine disease-associated dsRNAs and three proteins of M(r) 120K, 115K and 90K. T...

Gravitational radiation from the galactic population of white dwarf binaries is expected to produce a background signal in the LISA frequency band. At frequencies below 1 mHz, this signal is expected to be confusion-limited and has been approximated as gaussian noise. At frequencies above about 5 mHz, the signal will consist of separable individual sources. We have produced a simulation of the ...

A reconfigurable architecture using distributed logic block processing elements (PEs) is presented. This distributed processor uses a lowcost interconnection network and local indirect VLIW memories to provide efficient algorithm implementations for portable battery operated products. In order to provide optimal algorithm performance, the VLIWs loaded to each PE configure that PE for processing...
