Abstract: By enhancing a stress corrosion cracking resistance in a leadless brass alloy, specifically by suppressing a velocity of propagation of corrosion cracks in the brass alloy, a straight line crack peculiar to the leadless brass alloy is suppressed, a probability of cracks coming into contact with .UPSILON. phases is heightened and local corrosion on the brass surface is prevented to suppress induction of cracks by the local corrosion, thereby providing a leadless brass alloy contributable to enhancement of the stress corrosion cracking resistance. The present invention is directed to an Sn-containing Bi-based, Sn-containing Bi + Sb-based or Sn-containing Bi + Se + Sb-based leadless brass alloy excellent in stress corrosion cracking resistance, having an .alpha. + .UPSILON. structure or .alpha. + .beta. + .UPSILON.  structure and having .UPSILON. phases distributed uniformly therein at a predetermined proportion to suppress local corrosion and induction of stress corrosion crack s.

Abstract: Method for determining quality of focus of a digital image of a biological specimen includes obtaining a digital image of a specimen using a specimen imaging apparatus. Measure of image texture is calculated at two different scales, and the measurements are compared to determine how much high-resolution data the image contains compared to low-resolution data. The texture measurement may, for example, be a Brenner auto-focus score calculated from the means of adjacent pairs of pixels for the high-resolution measurement and from the means of adjacent triples of pixels for the low-resolution measurement. A score indicative of the quality of focus is then established based on a function of the low-resolution and high-resolution measurements, and may be used by an automated imaging device to verify that image quality is acceptable, or to adjust the focus and acquire new images to replace any deemed unacceptable.

Abstract: Solvents for macromolecules generally believed to be insoluble in their pristine form are identified by generation of a 'solvent resonance' in the relationship between solvent quality (deduced by Rayleigh scattering) and an intrinsic property of solvents. A local extreme of the solvent resonance identifies the ideal intrinsic property of an ideal solvent which may then be used to select a particular solvent or solvent combination.  A solvent for graphene is used in the production of transparent conductive electrodes.
