In strain 2201 of Streptomyces aureofaciens, a high copy number amplified DNA sequence (ADS-Sa2201) was found and characterized. The amplified sequence in the chromosomal DNA of this strain forms a stretch of about 10 kb tandemly repeated 100-500 times. In this strain also, extrachromosomal copies of the repeated unit of the ADS-Sa2201 were found. In cloning experiments any autonomous replicon ...

The hole-doped cuprate Bi2-_Pb.Sr 2CulO 6+6 is doped with lead to the solubility limit of x = 0.38 and studied using STM/STS in the overdoped regime where T, < 2K. Despite the high lead content, residual supermodulations are observed in the BiO plane. In agreement with previous studies on (Pb,Bi)-2201, there is no separation of the sample into Pb-rich and Pb-poor domains, nor is there a spectra...

BACKGROUND Although many adults with learning disabilities show features of autistic syndrome, there have been very few population-based studies. We explored the prevalence of autistic traits and their association with maladaptive behaviours in a geographically defined population of adults with learning disabilities. METHOD The carers of 2201 adults with learning disabilities were interviewed...

(Bi,Pb)–Sr−Ca–Cu–O glasses, annealed in proper conditions, transform into a granular metal and superconductor. As a result of annealing oxide superconductors belonging to the bismuth family (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CuOx, (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CaCu2Ox, and (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox crystallize. (Bi,Pb)–Sr– Ca–Cu–O glass-ceramic samples were obtained by annealing the amorphous solid at temperatures between 500◦C and 870◦C. The...

By forming a small electron probe in a scanning transmission electron microscope equipped with a high-angle annular dark-field (HA-ADF) detector, the Bi-O atomic planes in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+delta) (Bi-2212) can be directly observed with the incoherent Z-contrast imaging technique. Using a combination of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and HA-ADF imaging, we were able to detect the Ca sign...
