Extract Information

High-Resolution Electron Microscopy is able to determine structures of crystals and interfaces with a spatial resolution of somewhat less than 2 Å. As the image is strongly dependent on instrumental parameters, notably the defocus and the spherical aberration, the interpretation of micrographs necessitates a comparison with calculated images. Whereas one has often been content with a qualitative comparison of theory with experiment in the past, one is currently striving for quantitative procedures to extract information from the images [1,2]. For the calculations one starts by assuming a static potential, thus neglecting inelastic scattering processes.We shall confine the discussion to periodic specimens. All electrons, which have only been elastically scattered, are confined to very few directions, the Bragg spots. In-elastically scattered electrons, however, can be found in any direction. Therefore the influence of inelastic processes on the elastically (= Bragg) scattered electrons can be described as an attenuation [3]. For the calculation of high-resolution images this procedure would be correct only if we had an imaging energy filter capable of removing all phonon-scattered electrons. This is not realizable in practice. We are therefore forced to include the contribution of the phonon-scattered electrons.

The Impact

Abstract. Legally irrelevant information like facial features is used to form judgments about rape cases. Using a reverse-correlation technique, it is possible to visualize criminal stereotypes and test whether these representations influence judgments. In the first step, images of the stereotypical faces of a rapist, a thief, and a lifesaver were generated. These images showed a clear distinction between the lifesaver and the two criminal representations, but the criminal representations were rather similar. In the next step, the images were presented together with rape scenarios, and participants (N = 153) indicated the defendant’s level of liability. Participants with high rape myth acceptance scores attributed a lower level of liability to a defendant who resembled a stereotypical lifesaver. However, no specific effects of the image of the stereotypical rapist compared to the stereotypical thief were found. We discuss the findings with respect to the influence of visual stereotypes on legal judgments and the nature of these mental representations.

FVIII was separated into low molecular weight FVIII (LMW FVIII) and high molecular weight FVIII (HMW FVIII) by gel chromatography in the presence of high salt concentration or by high salt elution of LMW FVIII from FVIII bound to anti HMW FVII-Sepharose. Specific antibodies were raised in rabbits against HMW FVIII and LMW FVIII. After removal of the contaminating anti HMW activities the rabbit anti LMW FVIII was still able to neutralize the FVIII coagulant activity of normal plasma and of IMW FVIII with canparable efficiency and it had no effect on the VIIIR:WF of FVIII in normal plasma or in HMW FVIII. Anti LMW FVIII does not bind to HMW FVIII and does not precipitate FVIII as tested by counter immunoelectrophoresis. Rabbit anti HMW FVIII precipitates FVIII in normal plasma, inhibits VIIIR:WF activity, while it has no effect on the FVIII coagulant activity of LMW FVIII. The coagulant activity of FVIII in normal plasma is slightly inhibited by anti HMW FVIII presumably by non-specific effects (sterical hindrance). It is concluded that inhibitory antibodies against VIII:C raised in rabbits recognize antigenic structures only present on LMW FVIII. Antibodies against HMW FVIII raised in rabbits appears to recognize structures only present on HMW FVIII.
