In the framework of current development in 157-nm lithography we have investigated the performance of photodetectors with emphasis to their stability and linearity. The measurements were performed in the radiometry laboratories of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt at the Berlin electron-storage rings BESSY I and BESSY II with spectrally dispersed synchrotron radiation as well as with highly pulsed F2 laser radiation at 157 nm in combination with a cryogenic radiometer as the primary detector standard. Relative standard uncertainties of as little as 1% were achieved for the calibration of photodetectors in the spectral range of ultraviolet and vacuum-ultraviolet radiation.

This first urographical, urine-cytological, and MRI evaluation after porcine kidney NTIRE shows multifocal parenchyma destruction while protecting the involved urine-collecting system with regenerated urothelial tissue. NTIRE could be used as a targeted ablation method of centrally located renal masses.

indicating that the structure of the reverse micellar assembly was retained.13The systems studied here show the potential for higher ordering that chemical oscillators can display with the addition of spatially ordered features. Such a situation could have been important at some point in chemical evolution. In a more specific manner it may be envisaged that successive accretion of different types of ordering was a central process in the chemical evolution of life. We note that adding the effect of spatial organization to the hypercycle accentuates its selectivity.14 Acknowledgment.
