sity and distribution of stacking faults, dislocations, and large oxygen precipitates. This nondestructive method may also be used for identification of crystal defects. LSM is capable of finding small oxygen precipitates, which are smaller than the resolution of the topographs. The defect densities given by LSM are larger than those given by sec-tion topography. It was determined through comparative observations by means of TEM that the volume of the smallest identifiable particle in LSM was about 1 x 105 nm 3 in the case of oxygen precipitates in silicon crystals. That is clearly less than the resolution of the synchrotron sec-tion topographic technique used. Images of such small de-fects are not observed in topographs; if there are no larger defects in the sample, only Pendellbsung fringes typical of a perfect crystal are observed.

for an aqueous standard creatinine and for creatinine eluted in a serum specimen. This confirmed the absence of compounds interfering with the creatinine peak in biolog-ical specimens. These results suggest that capillary elec-trophoresis may be useful for developing a reference or routine method for creatinine

is attributed to the absence of gate depletion but of a comparable gate resistance. However, it is important to mention that for device architectures (FinFET, FD-SOI) that require a higher gate work func-tion, the RF performance of deposited metal-gate devices will be reduced.

An intensive search for malignancy was carried out, but the findings on chest film, mammograms, thyroid scan, and chest and abdominal CT scans were all within normal limits. The results of a pelvic examination suggested a uterine leiomyoma but no abnormalities of the ovarian structures. These findings were confirmed by pelvic CT scan. The patient's condition continued to deteriorate, and selective laparoscopy and laparotomy were performed 2 months after her first

1. Make a list of some of the metaphors discussed by Lakoff and Johnson. Try inserting new words that convey a different meaning. For example, consider the expression, “I’d like to share some time with you ” rather than “spend some time with you.” 2. Make a list of “language asymmetries ” (see Part

It is intended as an introduction, reference, and inspiration for researchers, students, and system designers in computer vision as well as related fields such as image processing, photogrammetry, medical image
