    Description: Recent studies have shown multiple differences between humans and apes in sialic acid (Sia) biology, including Siglecs (Sia-recognizing-Ig-superfamily lectins). Comparisons with the chimpanzee genome indicate that human SIGLEC11 emerged through human-specific gene conversion by an adjacent pseudogene. Conversion involved 5 cent untranslated sequences and the Sia-recognition domain. This human protein shows reduced binding relative to the ancestral form but recognizes oligosialic acids, which are enriched in the brain. SIGLEC11 is expressed in human but not in chimpanzee brain microglia. Further studies will determine if this event was related to the evolution of Homo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hayakawa, Toshiyuki -- Angata, Takashi -- Lewis, Amanda L -- Mikkelsen, Tarjei S -- Varki, Nissi M -- Varki, Ajit -- R01GM32373/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Sep 9;309(5741):1693.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Glycobiology Research and Training Center, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16151003" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: In0.2Ga0.8As single strained quantum well lasers with GaAs/Al0.45Ga0.55As short-period superlattice barrier (SPSB)layers have been successfully prepared using molecular beam epitaxy although a part of SPSB has been grown in the forbidden temperature region for AlGaAs, where the specular smooth bulk AlGaAs cannot be grown. The averaged AlAs mole fraction of the present SPSB is 0.25, which gives the heterobarrier height larger than that of the conventional GaAs barrier layers. The threshold temperature sensitivity factor T0 of the laser with SPSB has been measured to be as low as 240 K, which is much larger than that of 90 K in the laser with GaAs barrier layers. This improvement results from the reduction of carrier leakage from quantum well to barrier layers.

    Notes: Stable and reliable AlGaAs high power single quantum well lasers prepared by molecular beam epitaxy have been realized. We have prepared both 50-μm devices operating in multiple modes and ridge-waveguide single transverse-mode devices. Good reliability has been confirmed under the operating condition of 500 mW at 50 °C for the former type of devices and under the condition of 50 mW at 50 °C for the latter type of devices over 1000 h. These results indicate that molecular beam epitaxy is capable of making reliable high power laser diodes.

    Notes: Basic properties of AlxGa1−xAs (x=0.2–0.7), grown by molecular beam epitaxy on 0.5°-tilted (111)B-GaAs, are studied. We have employed the wide substrate temperature, Ts, range of 540–740 °C and different As species; As4 and As2. The surface morphology has been found to depend strongly upon the As species; a specular surface morphology cannot be obtained when using As2 whereas a specular smooth surface can be obtained at high temperatures when using As4. Photoluminescence intensity of n-Al0.3Ga0.7As (Si=1×1018 cm−3) grown at low Ts (〈620–630 °C) does not depend upon the As species and is considered to be determined by defects, such as microtwins and stacking faults, which have been observed by transmission electron microscopy. At high Ts ((approximately-greater-than)650 °C) photoluminescence intensity is lower for the case of As2 than As4 and this could be due to point defects, such as As interstitials and/or antisite As (AsGa). Deep level transient spectroscopy has been measured on n-Al0.7Ga0.3As grown on (100)- and (111)B-substrates with As4.

    Notes: Systematic studies have been made for the first time on the basic properties of AlxGa1−xAs (x=0.2–0.7) grown by molecular beam epitaxy in the wide growth temperature range of 540–780 °C with As4 and As2. The forbidden growth temperature region (FTR), where the specular smooth surface cannot be obtained, has been found to depend strongly upon both the As species and the AlAs mole fraction x. FTR does not change with x in the case of As4; however, in the case of As2, FTR does not exist for x=0.2 and it increases with x from 0.3–0.7. Photoluminescence of n-Al0.3Ga0.7As (Si=1×1018 cm−3) grown with As2 shows lower intensity and higher sensitivity to growth temperature than those of samples grown with As4. Deep level transient spectroscopy has been measured on n-Al0.7Ga0.3As (Si=2×1016 cm−3). New electron traps are found in layers grown with As2.

    Notes: Abstract: Using Escherichia coli as a model bacterium, we tested a photon-counting method for enumeration of bacteria. This method is based on the principle that microscopic sized luminous particles in a wide field can be directly detected and counted using a photon-counting TV camera without the use of a microscope. E. coli cells were labeled with peroxidase and luminescence induced by adding a luminol-based reaction mixture. The number of luminous spots in the TV images was in good agreement with the number of bacterial colonies grown from labeled cells. The results show that our method provides a rapid and easy microbial counting system for such purposes as clinical diagnosis, microbial analysis in food, and environmental assessment.

    Notes: Abstract: We describe a novel method for enumeration of bacteria, based on the principle that small, light emitting particles on a flat surface can be easily and rapidly detected and counted using an ultra-high-sensitivity TV camera. To test this method, we obtained TV images of individual cells of a luminous bacterium on a membrane filter without the use of a microscope. The positions of the luminous points in the TV images were almost the same as the positions of the bacterial colonies after growth. Our results show that the single cells can be efficiently detected and counted by our method if they emit light or can be stimulated to emit light.

    Notes: Abstract The asymptotic expansions of the distribution of a sum of independent random vectors with Langevin distribution are given. The power functions of the likelihood ratio criterion, Watson statistic, Rao statistic and the modified Wald statistic for testing the hypothesis of the mean direction are obtained asymptotically and a numerical comparison is made.
