Abstract: Power pulsing, such as current pulsing, is used to control the structures of metals and alloys electrodeposited in non-aqueous electrolytes. Using waveforms containing different types of pulses: cathodic, off-time and anodic, internal microstructure, such as grain size, phase composition, phase domain size, phase arrangement or distribution and surface morphologies of the as-deposited alloys can be tailored. Additionally, these alloys exhibit superior macroscopic mechanical properties, such as strength, hardness, ductility and density. Waveform shape methods can produce aluminum alloys that are comparably hard (about 5 GPa and as ductile (about 13% elongation at fracture) as steel yet nearly as light as aluminum; or, stated differently, harder than aluminum alloys, yet lighter than steel, at a similar ductility. Al—Mn alloys have been made with such strength to weight ratios. Additional properties can be controlled, using the shape of the current waveform.

The present invention further provides the detection, monitoring and isolation of sub-populations cell types within a population of cells including a biological entity comprising such cell types. Kits, diagnostic agents and panels of nucleic acid probes for identifying and distinguishing cell types also form part of the present invention. The detection of particular cell types is based upon the use of a labelled probe that hybridizes to chromosomal DNA at the flanking sequences of a deletion. Alternatively two probes with distinguishable reporter molecules are used wherein only one probe is capable of hybridizing to chromosomal DNA in one cell type whereas both are capable of hybridizing to chromosomal DNA in another cell type. The methods are useful in the identification of cells with copy number variations, chromosomal deletions, additions or aberrations.
