    Description: Motivation: Several efficient gene–gene interaction tests have been developed for unrelated case–control samples in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), making it possible to test tens of billions of interaction pairs of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a reasonable timeframe. However, current family-based gene–gene interaction tests are computationally expensive and are not applicable to genome-wide interaction analysis. Results: We developed an efficient family-based gene–gene interaction test, GCORE, for trios (i.e. two parents and one affected sib). The GCORE compares interlocus correlations at two SNPs between the transmitted and non-transmitted alleles. We used simulation studies to compare the statistical properties such as type I error rates and power for the GCORE with several other family-based interaction tests under various scenarios. We applied the GCORE to a family-based GWAS for autism consisting of approximately 2000 trios. Testing a total of 22 471 383 013 interaction pairs in the GWAS can be finished in 36 h by the GCORE without large-scale computing resources, demonstrating that the test is practical for genome-wide gene–gene interaction analysis in trios. Availability and implementation: GCORE is implemented with C ++ and is available at http://gscore.sourceforge.net .

    Description: Little is known about the innate defense mechanisms of the male reproductive tract. We cloned a 385-base pair complementary DNA and its genomic DNA named Bin1b that is exclusively expressed in the caput region of the rat epididymis and that is responsible for sperm maturation, storage, and protection. Bin1b exhibits structural characteristics and antimicrobial activity similar to that of cationic antimicrobial peptides, beta-defensins. Bin1b is maximally expressed when the rats are sexually mature and can be up-regulated by inflammation. Bin1b appears to be a natural epididymis-specific antimicrobial peptide that plays a role in reproductive tract host defense and male fertility.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, P -- Chan, H C -- He, B -- So, S C -- Chung, Y W -- Shang, Q -- Zhang, Y D -- Zhang, Y L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Mar 2;291(5509):1783-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉State Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 320, Yue-Yang Road, Shanghai 200031, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11230693" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Gas-induced conductance changes were measured on palladium-dosed single-crystal tin oxide (SnO2) thin films having well-characterized surface properties. Films were fabricated using two methods: reactive sputtering and chemical vapor deposition. Film orientation and crystal structure were determined by x-ray diffraction, while surface morphology was characterized using atomic force microscopy. Conductance changes were measured continuously on film surfaces during alternating exposure and evacuation cycles to partial pressures of H2, O2, and CO in a vacuum chamber. The conductance change was found to be proportional to the square root of the initial film conductance and was interpreted in terms of gas-induced changes in the width of a near-surface space-charge layer. The variation of conductance as a function of gas pressure during alternating exposure and evacuation cycles of H2 and O2 is consistent with a model that involves surface reactions between coadsorbates.

    Notes: Voiding and open-circuit failures from cracking of interconnects in microelectronic devices are often observed during isothermal aging and thermal fatigue tests with or without electric current flow. Although the effects of many factors on the failure rate have been investigated experimentally, it is not yet known how to extrapolate the results of accelerated tests to normal operating conditions. Theoretical failure models for isothermal aging and thermal fatigue tests are constructed from diffusion theory and fracture mechanics in this paper. The results from many investigations can be incorporated into this model to explain many of the observed phenomena, for example, effects of the aging temperature, interconnect stress, linewidth, line thickness, passivation, interlayer dielectric stress, etc. Patterned Al-Cu interconnects were thermally cycled in air. It was found that the failure mechanisms of interconnects under isothermal aging and thermal fatigue are the same. Effects of hold time, frequency, and thermal fatigue temperatures on failure rate were studied both experimentally and theoretically. The predicted results according to the present failure model show excellent agreement with experiments.

    Notes: The design and construction of a flange-mounted ultra-high vacuum compatible fatigue apparatus using a piezoelectric actuator is described. This apparatus is capable of operation under ambient pressures down to 10−9 Torr. Push-pull fatigue tests can be performed under load, total strain, and plastic strain control at frequencies up to 100 Hz. Control of the fatigue tests and data acquisition are done using standard fatigue control electronics and software.

    Notes: A laboratory apparatus for surface science and in situ x-ray powder diffraction studies of highly dispersed particles has been constructed. The chamber incorporates standard sample preparation and characterization facilities into a high-flux x-ray diffraction setup, capable of two-circle goniometry with 0.1 nm−1 Q resolution from samples as thin as 1 nm average thickness (1 μg), at an elevated temperature under ultrahigh vacuum, in minutes. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A carbon nitride phase with primarily sp3-bonded carbon is stabilized in CNx/ZrN superlattice coatings. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry measurements give a N/C atomic ratio ∼1.3 for the CNx layers. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Z-contrast imaging from the superlattice show a well-defined layer structure. Raman and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy results reveal the formation of sp3-bonded carbon atoms in short-period CNx/ZrN superlattices. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
