Abstract: A system and method of vehicular wireless communication over a Dedicated Short Range Communication service band is provided. The system includes a vehicle having a navigation means, a processor, and a communication means for transmitting a message via a wireless communications link. The system includes a control channel for communicating a safety communication and a service channel for communicating a non-safety communication. The control channel is subdivided into a contention-free period having a group management interval, a service announcement interval and a safety exchange interval and a contention period having a non-safety service interval. The system further includes an integrated coordinating access point that operates in both the control channel and service channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing, controlling the shape and size oft Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticles. The method includes preparing a Pb (Pb) precursor containing Pb and a carboxylic acid dissolved in a hydrocarbon solution and preparing a chalcogen element precursor containing a chalcogen element dissolved in a hydrocarbon solution. The amount of Pb and chalcogen in the respective precursor affords for a predetermined Pb:chalcogen element ratio to be present when the Pb precursor is mixed with the chalcogen element precursor. The Pb precursor is mixed with the chalcogen element precursor to form a Pb-chalcogen mixture in such a manner that Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticle nucleation does not occur. A nucleation and growth solution containing a surfactant is also prepared by heating the solution to a nucleation temperature sufficient to nucleate nanoparticles when the Pb-chalcogen element mixture is added.

Abstract: Novel fluorescent labeling techniques and fluorescent labels are provided, employing high affinity non-covalently binding and intercalating fluorescent dyes and dsDNA. The dyes find application to provide highly sensitive labeling of nucleic acids in electrophoretic gels and as pre-prepared labels for binding to a wide variety of specific binding pair members. The DNA-dye fluorescer complex can be used for labels in diagnostic assays, detection of specific nucleic acid sequences, and the like.
