Abstract: A plasma chamber includes a chamber body having a processing region therewithin, a liner disposed on the chamber body, the liner surrounding the processing region, a substrate support disposed within the liner, a magnet assembly comprising a plurality of magnets disposed around the liner, and a magnetic-material shield disposed around the liner, the magnetic-material shield encapsulating the processing region near the substrate support.

Abstract: The present invention provides a barcoded exon tagging and gene disruption platform to create barcoded control, heterozygous gene knockout (KO) and homozygous gene KO panels of diploid human cells for high-throughput, multiplexed genotoxin screens.

Abstract: The present invention provides users with access to Internet-accessible databases via one portal of entry, such that queries need not be repeated multiple times in order to obtain needed information. Advantageously, the present invention will harness a systematic dynamic query profiler, document scoring, and display of retrieved documents via a knowledge-based system that facilitates user editing. Thus, the present invention will aid users so that less of their time and effort are required in order to obtain precisely the desired information for which they are searching.

Abstract: Methods, compositions and kits for effecting homologous recombination are described. In one aspect, the method utilizes two introduced DNAs: (1) a mutagen-linked single-stranded oligonucleotide capable of specifically binding to double-stranded DNA to form a triple-stranded helix, and (2) a donor DNA fragment capable of undergoing homologous recombination with DNA targeted by the oligonucleotide.

Abstract: Modified pyrimidine bases and nucleotides containing a linker arm and a detectable reporter group for nucleic acid labeling. The modified nucleotides have the structure: ##STR1## wherein: -R.sub.1 is --H or --OH;-R.sub.2 and -R.sub.3 are independently --H, --OH, monophosphate, diphosphate, triphosphate, thio analogs of mono-, di-, or triphosphates, --O-- attached to a reactive phosphorous-containing group or --O-- protected by a blocking group;-A and -B are independently --H, an electron donating group, an electron withdrawing group, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, halogen, nitro, --COOH, amino, substituted amino, cyano, --CONH, --CSNH, --COOR.sub.4 ##STR2## --CSOR.sub.4, --COSR.sub.4, --SR.sub.4, --COR.sub.4, --CH.sub.2 NHR.sub.4, -R.sub.4 C.dbd.CR.sub.5 H or --C.tbd.C--R.sub.4 where R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are independently H, an electron donating group, an electron withdrawing group, C.sub.1 -C.sub.

Abstract: A water jacketed replacement cylinder assembly for air-cooled motorcycle engines including means to control and direct the flow of liquid coolant for most effective heat transfer at the normally hottest zone at the thrust side of the cylinder.
