Data on the existence ratio and social utility of Nash equilibria and of the Perfectly Transparent Equilibrium.

This dataset includes 204,350,000 games in normal form played by two agents that have the choice between three strategies each, as well as 100,000 games in normal form played by four agents that have the choice between three strategies each. The games are in general position, i.e.

Photonic crystal structures in ion-sliced lithium niobate thin films.

We report on the first realization of photonic crystal structures in 600-nm thick ion-sliced, single-crystalline lithium niobate thin films bonded on a lithium niobate substrate using adhesive polymer benzocyclobutene (BCB). Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is used for fast prototyping of photonic crystal structures with regular cylindrical holes. Unwanted redeposition effects leading to conically shaped holes in lithium niobate are minimized due to the soft BCB layer underneath.

UV second harmonic generation at 266 nm in He+ implanted beta-BaB2O4 optical waveguides.

We report on the second harmonic generation of deep UV light in beta -BaB(2)O(4) (BBO) waveguides pumped by a frequency-doubled continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser. An output power of 0.32 mW at 266 nm has been achieved for an internal pump power of 670 mW.

Detection of an mRNA polymorphism by differential display.

Differential display technology was utilized to compare programs of gene expression in primary cultures of human skin fibroblasts from normal volunteers and patients diagnosed with melancholic depression. Polymorphic transcripts of a single gene differing by one tandem repeat sequence of four nucleotides (TGAT) in the 3' noncoding region were detected.

Differential expression of pentraxin 3 in fibroblasts from patients with major depression.

In this study, differential display technology was used to compare gene expression in cultured fibroblasts from patients with major depression, melancholic subtype vs nonmelancholic depressives and normal volunteer controls. Genes differentially expressed in depressives and normals included an overexpressed 269 bp sequence tag showing approximately 95% identity with the Homo sapiens long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) gene sequence in the 3' noncoding region. The 269 bp complimentary DNA probe hybridized with the 1.
