    Notes: Abstract The Werner syndrome (WS) is characterized by the premature onset and accelerated rates of development of major geriatric disorders, including atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, ocular cataracts, and various neoplasms. Cultures of WS skin-fibroblastlike cells have been previously shown to undergo accelerated rates of decline of their replicative potentials and to exhibit variegated chromosomal translocations and deletions. Since the replicative decline of normal somatic cells is associated with a loss of telomeric repeats, we investigated the kinetics of telomeric repeat loss in WS cells. The mean length of telomere restriction fragments (TRF) from the earliest passages of WS cells studied was not shorter than those of controls, possibly reflecting selective pressure for subsets of cells with relatively high residual replicative capacity. Statistical evidence indicated an accelerated shortening of TRF length in serially passaged WS cultures, but the mean TRF lengths of WS cultures that had ceased replicating were significantly longer than those of senescent controls. Thus, while accelerated loss of telomeric repeats could potentially explain the rapid decline in proliferation of WS cells, it is possible that WS cells exit the cell cycle via mechanisms that differ from those of replicatively senescent cells from control subjects.

    Notes: Abstract Depth profiles of 190 keV Cr implanted-GaAs have been measured by SIMS analysis. The as-implanted Cr profiles are approximately Gaussian with good agreement between theory and experiment on the projected range. A fast migration of Cr is observed after heat treatment under encapsulation, and even as soon as the silicon nitride film is deposited. There is no evidence for Cr precipitation, even in the case of the largest implanted dose (1015 cm−2).

    Notes: Measurements of threshold voltage of GaAs FET's (field-effect transistors) show a larger heterogeneity when dislocated rather than free dislocated substrates are used. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find an accurate model for the influence of dislocations on such devices. The model proposed takes into account a cumulative effect of each dislocation located on or around the FET on the value of VT. This effect is merely a function of the distance between the dislocation and the FET. With the use of a computer, the best influence curve has been determined for one wafer. Nevertheless, due to differences in thermal histories, this curve can vary from wafer to wafer. Therefore, it is suggested that, in addition to the average standard deviation of the threshold voltage, it could be accurate to give the influence curve to characterize the substrates.

    Notes: Transmission electron microscopy and A-B etching are the usual methods to observe microprecipitates in GaAs substrates. More recently, tomography has been used to characterize GaAs wafers and infrared light scattering was assumed to be caused by microprecipitates. Work on high-resolution tomography which confirms this assumption is presented in this paper.

    Notes: [Auszug] ALZHEIMER'S disease is widely recognized as the most common form of dementia in older people, at least in most Western societies.

    Notes: Abstract Presumptive clones of human skin fibroblast-like cells surviving mitomycin C treatments show a variety of intra- and interchromosomal rearrangements limited to the constitutive heterochromatic regions. Starting with a wild-type line polymorphic for chromosome no. 1 heterochromatin, we have observed clones with complete symmetry and varying degrees of asymmetry of the no. 1 heterochromatin, translocations of “excess” chromosome 1 heterochromatin to one no. 9 member, interstitial translocations to sites normally devoid of heterochromatin, and duplication of the Y chromosome long arm heterochromatin. In the case of the chromosome no. 1 pair, the extent of heterochromatin variation was quantitated to test the hypothesis that discrete classes of variants occur. There appear to be two types of variants: Those showing reciprocal changes between homologues (2 examples) and those showing a change in the amount of heterochromatin of a single homologue (5 examples). The latter group showed an approximately linear series of variants. Unequal cross-over following repair after damage from the alkylating agent is considered the most likely explanation for the observed changes, given the repetitive nature of DNA at these heterochromatic sites.
