Over the past five years it has become evident that radiation damage provides the fundamental limit to the study of blomolecular structure by electron microscopy. In some special cases structural determinations at very low doses can be achieved through superposition techniques to study periodic (Unwin & Henderson, 1975) and nonperiodic (Saxton & Frank, 1977) specimens. In addition, protection methods such as glucose embedding (Unwin & Henderson, 1975) and maintenance of specimen hydration at low temperatures (Taylor & Glaeser, 1976) have also shown promise. Despite these successes, the basic nature of radiation damage in the electron microscope is far from clear. In general we cannot predict exactly how different structures will behave during electron Irradiation at high dose rates. Moreover, with the rapid rise of analytical electron microscopy over the last few years, nvicroscopists are becoming concerned with questions of compositional as well as structural integrity. It is important to measure changes in elemental composition arising from atom migration in or loss from the specimen as a result of electron bombardment.

Diffraction studies in polymeric and other beam sensitive materials may bring to mind the many experiments where diffracted intensity has been used as a measure of the electron dose required to destroy fine structure in the TEM. But this paper is concerned with a range of cases where the diffraction pattern itself contains the important information.In the first case, electron diffraction from paraffins, degraded polyethylene and polyethylene single crystals, all the samples are highly ordered, and their crystallographic structure is well known. The diffraction patterns fade on irradiation and may also change considerably in a-spacing, increasing the unit cell volume on irradiation. The effect is large and continuous far C94H190 paraffin and for PE, while for shorter chains to C 28H58 the change is less, levelling off at high dose, Fig.l. It is also found that the change in a-spacing increases at higher dose rates and at higher irradiation temperatures.

Abstract In this paper, we report a transistor model that has successfully led to the identification of a non visual defect. This model was based on detailed electrical characterization of a MOS NFET exhibiting a threshold voltage (Vt) of just about 40mv lower than normal. This small Vt delta was based on standard graphical extrapolation method in the usual linear Id-Vg plots. We observed, using a semilog plot, two slopes in the Id-Vg curves with Vt delta magnified significantly in the subthreshold region. The two slopes were attributed to two transistors in parallel with different Vts. We further found that one of the parallel transistors had short channel effect due to a punch-through mechanism. It was proposed and ultimately confirmed the cause was due to a dopant defect using scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) technique.

Ten patients received lymphoblastoid alpha-interferon (Wellferon) in a crossover study so that Wellferon and standard microsurgical laryngeal laser therapy could be compared to laser therapy alone. Wellferon was administered initially at an intravenous high dose of 15 megaunits/m2 for 5 days followed by a daily dose of 2 megaunits/m2 subcutaneously for 6 months. Dosage was adjusted according to predefined toxicity. One patient was withdrawn from the study. Of the others, all but one received over 75 % of the planned total dose. At follow-up of the nine assessable patients, complete remission was achieved in two of them, partial remission in four, and no response in the remainder. The two complete remissions were sustained for 2 years, but the four partial remissions were not sustained. Thus, a role for alpha-interferon in the kind of regimen used here remains to be established.
