`DOW30` is a distinctive variety of Syzygium smithii, which is characterized by its light green immature leaf and stem colors during a new flush of shoot growth.

A variety of rose plant of the shrub class, named `AUSlofty` is disclosed. The `AUSlofty` rose is a plant suitable for repeat flowering production having medium apricot blooms, a strong tea fragrance and a vigorous upright growth.

A method is described for determining a dopant concentration on a surface and/or in layer region lying close to the surface of a semiconductor sample using an atomic force microscope, whose leaf-spring tip is brought into contact with the semiconductor sample, forming a Schottky barrier, wherein an electric alternating potential is applied between the spring-leaf tip and the semiconductor sample in the region of the Schottky barrier in such a way that a space charge region inside the semiconduct...

A resist medium in which features are lithographically produced by scanning a surface of the medium with an AFM probe positioned in contact therewith. The resist medium comprises a substrate; and a polymer resist layer within which features are produced by mechanical action of the probe. The polymer contains thermally reversible crosslinkages. Also disclosed are methods that generally includes scanning a surface of the polymer resist layer with an AFM probe positioned in contact with the resist ...

A plant having improved heat tolerance and/or increased growth is produced by steps of: introducing DNA into a plant cell to produce a transformed plant cell, wherein the DNA is selected from the group consisting of: (a) DNA coding for a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2, (b) DNA including the coding region of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, (c) DNA coding for a protein having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 in which...
