    Notes: Abstract. This paper explores a method of manipulating a planar rigid part on a conveyor belt using a robot with just one joint. This approach has the potential of offering a simple and flexible method for feeding parts in industrial automation applications. In this paper we develop a model of this system and of a variation which requires no sensing. We have been able to characterize these systems and to prove that they can serve as parts feeding devices for planar polygonal parts. We present the planners for these systems and describe our implementations.

    Notes: Background Remodelling of the asthmatic airway includes increased deposition of proteoglycan (PG) molecules. One of the stimuli driving airway remodelling may be excessive mechanical stimulation.Objective We hypothesized that fibroblasts from asthmatic patients would respond to excessive mechanical strain with up-regulation of message for PGs.Methods We obtained fibroblasts from asthmatic patients (AF) and normal volunteers (NF) using endobronchial biopsy. Cells were maintained in culture until the fifth passage and then grown on a flexible collagen-coated membrane. Using the Flexercell device, cells were then subjected to cyclic stretch at 30% amplitude at 1 Hz for 24 h. Control cells were unstrained. Total RNA was extracted from the cell layer and quantitative RT-PCR performed for decorin, lumican and versican mRNA.Results In unstrained cells, the expression of decorin mRNA was greater in AF than NF. With strain, NF showed increased expression of versican mRNA and AF showed increased expression of versican and decorin mRNA. The relative increase in versican mRNA expression with strain was greater in AF than NF.Conclusions These data support the hypothesis that proteoglycan message is increased in asthmatic fibroblasts subject to mechanical strain. This finding has implications for the mechanisms governing airway wall remodelling in asthma.

    Notes: This article presents computation of optical gain and threshold current density in InGaN–AlGaN quantum wire and dot lasers in the presence of dislocations and surface states. The exciton binding energy including the effect of strain induced piezoelectric field is calculated to be 10–80 meV in InGaN–AlGaN quantum wires and dots, depending on the lateral and transverse dimensions. In contrast to the conventional GaAs or InP based quantum wires, these high binding energy results in large exciton densities, making optical transitions due to excitons dominant over free electrons and holes. Optical gain and threshold current density in InGaN–AlGaN based multiple quantum wire and dot lasers are computed including the effect of dislocation-induced traps. The calculated threshold current density Jth for defect free compressive-strained InGaN quantum wire (50 Å×50 Å) and dot (50 Å × 50 Å × 50 Å) lasers, realized on sapphire or SiC substrates, are shown to yield ultralow threshold current density of 233 and 88 A/cm2, respectively. In the presence of dislocations (1×1010 cm−2), the threshold current densities only increase to 924 and 623 A/cm2 for the same wire and dot, when we include the contribution of excitonic transitions. However, the corresponding values increase significantly to 30 838 and 11 647 A/cm2 if the exciton enhancement is not included. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A full color display with its spectra covering the entire visible color range using a single polymer is presented here. Different concentrations of poly(2,6-[4-phenylquinoline]) and poly(2,6-[p-phenylene]-4-phenylquinoline) were incorporated into silica gels via the sol–gel technique. At high concentrations, the conjugated polymers form multiple excimers in the channels within the silica network, leading to the emission of red light (∼600 nm). At low concentrations, the polymer chains are isolated and are being trapped individually in the silica domain, which results in the emission of blue light (∼400 nm). For concentrations in-between, moderate extensive chain interaction leads to the emission of green, yellow, and orange colors. Therefore, the color tunability can be achieved by simply varying the concentration of quinoline polymers in the silica glasses. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Spectroscopic rotating-analyzer ellipsometry employing a compensator was used to measure the ellipsometric angles and depolarization from 0.73 to 5.4 eV of commercial separation by implantation of oxygen wafers. The data were analyzed to find the thicknesses of the native oxide cap, the top Si layer, and the buried oxide (BOX). From the depolarization in the spectral region of interference fringes, we determine layer thickness nonuniformities. Although a reasonable agreement between the data can be found by describing the BOX with the optical constants of thermal oxide, it can be improved by modeling the BOX as an effective medium consisting of thermal oxide and amorphous Si. The physical justification for this model is the presence of Si islands near the BOX/substrate interface. We compare our ellipsometry results with a destructive analysis using electron microscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis (MUHH) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with progressive hair loss starting in early childhood and aggravating at puberty. Several studies have mapped the MUHH gene to chromosome 8p21. Here we report a Chinese MUHH family with variable phenotypes. All affected individuals have anomalies affecting both hair density and hair shafts. Major clinical characteristics, disease history and histological examination support the diagnosis of MUHH, but the features of scarring in this kindred are modest and none of the patients have vertex hair loss, which is in contrast with typical MUHH. We now report genotyping and linkage analysis using 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers spanning the MUHH locus at 8p. Two-point linkage analysis using these markers revealed significant exclusion of this locus (log of the odds scores 〈 − 2) at θ = 0 indicating that there is a range of clinical presentations in MUHH, and that more than one genetic locus is responsible for the disorder.

    Notes: Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) is a pigmentary genodermatosis of autosomal dominant inheritance characterized by a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules distributed on the dorsal aspects of the hands and feet. It is caused by mutations of the RNA-specific adenosine deaminase gene. We report the identification of a Chinese family with a three-generation pedigree of DSH, in whom a novel tyrosine substitution mutation in DSRAD was demonstrated: a heterozygous nucleotide A→G transition at position 2879 in exon 10 of the DSRAD gene was detected.
