Another important family of chemorepellents was recently identified through genetic studies in Drosophila. In the roundabout (robo) mutant, axons fail to respect the midline boundary [47]. Robo protein was later identified as a transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily with five immunoglobulin domains and three fibronectin type III repeats, and it was shown to be abundantly expressed on uncrossing axons [28], These findings led to the hypothesis that Robo functions as a receptor for a repellent of the midline.

The variation of Bq causes all ions to pass sequentially in front of the exit slit behind which is positioned the photomultiplier detector. The pressure in the apparatus is held at 10 torr in order to achieve mean free paths of ions sufficiently high that all ions emitted from the source are collected. 

The first requirement is a source of infrared radiation that emits all frequencies of the spectral range being studied. This polychromatic beam is analyzed by a monochromator, formerly a system of prisms, today diffraction gratings. The movement of the monochromator causes the spectrum from the source to scan across an exit slit onto the detector. This kind of spectrometer in which the range of wavelengths is swept as a function of time and monochromator movement is called the dispersive type.

Measuring surface crack depth is performed by calibration samples made of the same material like the object being tested. Calibration samples are the plates having narrow grooves like slits of various depth 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm and made by electric erosion method. The samples have dimensions 50 mm X 150 mm x 6 mm and 25 mmx 150 mm x 6 mm and are made of magnetic...

There are otlier teclmiques for mass separation such as tire quadmpole mass filter and Wien filter. Anotlier mass spectrometry teclmique is based on ion chromatography, which is also capable of measuring tire shapes of clusters [30, 31]. In tills metliod, cluster ions of a given mass are injected into a drift tube witli well-defined entrance and exit slits and filled witli an inert gas. The clusters drift tlirough tills tube under a weak electric potential. Since the...

A7 Ethane/methane selectivity calculated from grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of mixtures in slit IS at a temperature of 296 K. The selectivity is defined as the ratio of the mole fractions in the pore to the ratio of mole fractions in the bulk.

The chief disadvantages of a Buchner funnel for filtration are (i) it is impossible to see whether the underside of the perforated plate is perfectly clean, and (ii) the larger sizes are top heavy. The first drawback is absent in the Jena slit-sieve funnel (Fig. 11,1, 7,/) this is an all-glass funnel provided with a sealed-in transparent plate, perforated by a series of angular slots, upon which the filter paper rests. The sintered glass... 

Data for the several flame methods assume an acetylene-nitrous oxide flame residing on a 5- or 10-cm slot burner. The sample is nebulized into a spray chamber placed immediately ahead of the burner. Detection limits are quite dependent on instrument and operating variables, particularly the detector, the fuel and oxidant gases, the slit width, and the method used for background correction and data smoothing.
