    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of Ni2Si growth from pure Ni and from Ni0.93V0.07 films on (111) and (100) silicon has been studied by the combination of He+ backscattering, x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The activation energies are 1.5 and 1.0 eV for pure Ni and Ni(V) films, respectively while the pre-exponential factors in Ni(V) are 4–5 orders of magnitude smaller than in the pure Ni case. The variations in the measured rates are related to the different grain size of the growing suicide layers. The vanadium is rejected from the silicide layer and piles up at the metalsilicide interface.

    Notes: Summary Embryogenesis was analyzed in wheat × maize hybrids using paraffin sectioning. Embryogenesis in wheat × maize hybrids is different from that in self-pollinated wheat plants. Development of the embryo is not accompanied by the formation of an endosperm. The endosperm nuclei remain free in the cytoplasm, fail to advance into the cellular stage, and degenerate at a later time. The antipodal cells quickly degenerate in the fertilized ovaries of wheat × maize hybrids similar to self-pollinated ovaries. The antipodal cells remain normal in unpollinated ovaries. The pre-embryo will abort if it is allowed to develop on the plant, because of a nutritional shortage in the absence of an endosperm. Therefore, embryo rescue is necessary for haploid production from a wheat × maize hybrids. Haploid polyembryos were obtained from spikelet culture of wheat × maize hybrids. The formation of polyembryos is due to the cleavage of the pre-embryo and the effect of 2,4-D. The frequency of haploid embryo production and plant regeneration is affected significantly by maize genotypes, but not by wheat genotypes. The concentration of 2,4-D affects only the size of the embryo.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the possibility whether the initiation of secondary roots is regulated by the air-filled porosity in soil, i.e. the availability of oxygen in the soil. Maize plants were grown in long PVC tubes (1 m long and 12 cm diameter) and were unwatered for different numbers of days so that variations of soil water content with depth were achieved on the same date with plants at the same age. The plants were harvested when their root systems were established in the whole soil column and watering had been withheld for 0, 15, 20, 25 days. A decrease of soil water content was significantly correlated with an increase of air-filled porosity in soil. The number of secondary lateral roots from segments of primary adventitious roots increased dramatically when soil water content decreased from field capacity to about 0.05 g water g-1 dried soil. The total dried mass of roots at different soil depths was also positively correlated with soil air-filled porosity. It was observed that the elongation of the initiated secondary roots responded differently to the variations of soil air-filled porosity. The length of secondary roots increased initially when the soil was dried from field capacity to 0.18 g g-1 dried soil (water potential at about−0.2 MPa, air-filled porosity 0.26 cm3 cm-3), but was drastically reduced when the soil was dried further. Obviously elongation of secondary roots was inhibited when soil water potential began to deviate substantially from an optimum value. The present results suggested that the initiation of secondary roots was greatly promoted by the increase of air-filled soil porosity, i.e. availability of oxygen. This conclusion was further verified in a separate experiment where solution-cultured maize seedlings were subjected to different aeration treatments. An obvious increase in secondary root initiation was found in plants which were aerated with normal air (21% O2) than in plants which were either not aerated or aerated with 5% O2 air. ei]Section editor: B E Clothier

    Notes: Optically active isotactic polychloral was prepared in which the optical activity comes exclusively from molecular asymmetry (i.e., helical conformation). Molecular asymmetry requires a high conformational energy barrier for the polymer backbone, and an asymmetric initiator to induce a predominance of one helical screw-sense. Polychloral meets the criteria. Asymmetric initiators used to obtain optically active polychloral include tetramethyl ammonium (+)- or (-)-0-acetylmandelate, tetramethylammonium (+)- or (-)-0-methylmandelate, the lithiumalkoxides of methyl (+)- or (-)-mandelate, lithium cholesten-3β-oxide, lithium cholestan-3β-oxide, and lithium (+)- or (-)-2-octanoxide. Using the above initiators at 0.5 mol %, a maximum specific rotation of [α] D25 = 5000 was obtained for polychloral. Errors in specific rotation were typically ±7%.

    Notes: We present in this article the use of infrared laser radiation to achieve localized curing in thermosensitive epoxy resin compounds. In stereolithography, the objective is to cure a localized region in a material by precisely confining the laser energy to the area that is to be cured. Industry already uses ultraviolet laser radiation at 352 nm to fabricate three-dimensional structures. Via infrared laser curing, we demonstrate the viability of a completely thermal localized curing process. In our experiment, we have focused the beam from a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser onto a sample composed of epoxy resin, diethylene triamine, and silica powder. Such resins typically cure, or solidify, when heated to moderately high temperatures, and our results show that we can confine the heating of the material, and, therefore, its curing in all three dimensions. We present a physical and a chemical model to describe the process and measure the curing rate as a function of temperature. In order to model the flow of heat in our sample as a result of infrared laser irradiation, we solved the time-dependent heat equation in cylindrical coordinates using the Crank-Nicholson finite-difference method. The results allow us to predict the curing behavior of the sample as a function of laser irradiation conditions, and we find good agreement with our preliminary experimental observations. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The value of in situ monitoring to study growth dynamics and surface reaction kinetics in a gas source molecular beam epitaxy process is illustrated with reference to the growth of Si films on Si(001) substrates using a beam of disilane (Si2H6). By using a combination of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS), we show first how morphological (long-range order) and local electronic structure effects can be separated in the evaluation of growth dynamics. This involves the measurement of step density changes by RHEED concomitantly with the variation in domain coverage on the Si(001) (2×1)+(1×2) reconstructed surface by RAS. This approach is then extended to investigate the kinetics of hydrogen desorption, which is the rate-limiting step in Si growth from Si2H6. It is shown that over a significant temperature range, zeroth-order kinetics are obeyed and this is explained on the basis of a step-mediated desorption process. Finally we show how this influences the growth rate on substrates of differing degrees of vicinality. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A study was carried out to examine the effect of removing the size from the surface of glass fibers in order to determine its role with respect to thermoxidative aging. Dynamic mechanical relaxation data have revealed that mechanical losses were always greater than the calculated upper bound values. The effects of removing the size from the surface glass fibers for epoxy matrix composites were found to be completely different when a fluoroligomer was used to modify the resin. Contrary to the case of the conventional epoxy resin, the characteristics of the composites containing fluoroligomer-modified resin were found to be insensitive to the removal of the size from the glass fibers surface. The presence of the size on the surface of the fibers provides an interlayer that degrades through the formation of more lightly crosslinked products than the matrix, thereby providing a large increase in dynamic mechanical losses after thermal aging. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of melting behaviour on upward flame spread of thermoplastic materials when subjected to small ignition sources and considered to suffer no external flux was studied using large-scale tests. For moderate fire conditions the cone calorimeter was utilized, with the sample set in a vertical orientation to study the melting behaviour of the specimens. Under these conditions the results indicate that the melting behaviour significantly affects upward flame spread behaviour. A pool of the melt which formed at the base of the vertically oriented sample tested creates a pool fire which then controls the fire growth and flame spread. In contrast, it was found that some thermoplastic materials which have higher glass transition temperatures or undergo a special pyrolysis process such as depolymerization, intumescing or charring do not experience significant melting behaviour when exposed to the same thermal insult. As a result, they behave very differently in terms of upward flame spread. The study also indicates that the melting behaviour of thermoplastic materials is an important characteristic in fires which should be taken into account in the development of modelling, in particular for upward flame spread models. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
