TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method by which 50 kHz resolution can be obtained for measuring the spectrum of stabilised semiconductor laser with high spectral spread, and the principle, experimental set up and results are described.
Abstract: The spectral spread of the best stabilised semiconductor lasers has been reduced to several megahertz. Conventional spectroscopy techniques cannot offer a spectral resolution fine enough for measuring such a sharp spectrum. The letter proposes a novel method by which 50 kHz resolution can be obtained. The principle, experimental set-up and results are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the number counts and z = 0-5 luminosity function for a well-defined, homogeneous sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
Abstract: We determine the number counts and z = 0-5 luminosity function for a well-defined, homogeneous sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We conservatively define the most uniform statistical sample possible, consisting of 15,343 quasars within an effective area of 1622 deg2 that was derived from a parent sample of 46,420 spectroscopically confirmed broad-line quasars in the 5282 deg2 of imaging data from SDSS Data Release 3. The sample extends from i = 15 to 19.1 at z 3 and to i = 20.2 for z 3. The number counts and luminosity function agree well with the results of the Two Degree Field QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) at redshifts and luminosities at which the SDSS and 2QZ quasar samples overlap, but the SDSS data probe to much higher redshifts than does the 2QZ sample. The number density of luminous quasars peaks between redshifts 2 and 3, although uncertainties in the selection function in this range do not allow us to determine the peak redshift more precisely. Our best-fit model has a flatter bright-end slope at high redshift than at low redshift. For z < 2.4 the data are best fit by a redshift-independent slope of ? = -3.1 [?(L) ? L?]. Above z = 2.4 the slope flattens with redshift to ? -2.37 at z = 5. This slope change, which is significant at the 5 ? level, must be accounted for in models of the evolution of accretion onto supermassive black holes.

TL;DR: Mapping of the cDNA clones to genomic DNA revealed that there are 19,000 to 20,500 transcription units in the rice genome, and protein informatics analysis against the InterPro database revealed the existence of proteins presented in rice but not in Arabidopsis.
Abstract: We collected and completely sequenced 28,469 full-length complementary DNA clones from Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare. Through homology searches of publicly available sequence data, we assigned tentative protein functions to 21,596 clones (75.86%). Mapping of the cDNA clones to genomic DNA revealed that there are 19,000 to 20,500 transcription units in the rice genome. Protein informatics analysis against the InterPro database revealed the existence of proteins presented in rice but not in Arabidopsis. Sixty-four percent of our cDNAs are homologous to Arabidopsis proteins.

TL;DR: The electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged particles can be tuned such that large ionic colloidal crystals form readily, with the approach to controlling opposite-charge interactions facilitating the production of binary crystals of micrometre-sized particles, which could find use as advanced materials for photonic applications.
Abstract: Colloidal suspensions are widely used to study processes such as melting, freezing1,2,3 and glass transitions4,5. This is because they display the same phase behaviour as atoms or molecules, with the nano- to micrometre size of the colloidal particles making it possible to observe them directly in real space3,4. Another attractive feature is that different types of colloidal interactions, such as long-range repulsive1,3, short-range attractive5, hard-sphere-like2,3,4 and dipolar3, can be realized and give rise to equilibrium phases. However, spherically symmetric, long-range attractions (that is, ionic interactions) have so far always resulted in irreversible colloidal aggregation6. Here we show that the electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged particles can be tuned such that large ionic colloidal crystals form readily, with our theory and simulations confirming the stability of these structures. We find that in contrast to atomic systems, the stoichiometry of our colloidal crystals is not dictated by charge neutrality; this allows us to obtain a remarkable diversity of new binary structures. An external electric field melts the crystals, confirming that the constituent particles are indeed oppositely charged. Colloidal model systems can thus be used to study the phase behaviour of ionic species. We also expect that our approach to controlling opposite-charge interactions will facilitate the production of binary crystals of micrometre-sized particles, which could find use as advanced materials for photonic applications7.
