    Notes: Bi2Sr2Ca0.64Cu1.64Ox (nominally Bi2212) powders were fabricated into powder-in-tube Ag- and Ag(7 at. % Cu)-sheathed tapes by cold and hot rolling to investigate the effects of sheath composition and rolling conditions on their microstructural development and superconducting properties. Bi2212 tapes with Ag(Cu) sheaths exhibited improved grain alignment and interfacial uniformity, as well as enhanced formation of the Bi-free phase (≈Sr7.5Ca6.5Cu14Ox), relative to the Ag-sheathed specimens. The hot-rolled Ag(Cu)-sheathed tapes displayed superior critical current densities (Jc), where magnetization Jcm=1.5×106 (H(parallel)c) and 4.6×105 A/cm2 (H⊥c) at T=5 K, H=1 T. Correspondingly, these specimens had transport critical current densities (Jct) of 6.7×104 A/cm2 (H(parallel)c) and 5.4×104 A/cm2 (H⊥c) at T=4.2 K, H=0 T and 2.2×104 A/cm2 (H(parallel)c) and 3.0×104 A/cm2 (H⊥c) at T=4.2 K, H=14 T. The chemical stability of the Ag(Cu) sheath regions during the partial melting process was also studied. Rapid oxidation of copper produced Cu2O precipitates in the sheath at 885 °C, and subsequently a Cu2O-free zone developed near the core/sheath interface. A theoretical analysis of Cu2O precipitate formation and decomposition during thermal processing is presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal toxins on the monovalent cation content and intracellular pH (pH i ) of individual Sf9 cells of the lepidopteran species Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm) was monitored with the fluorescent indicators potassium-binding benzofuran isophthalate (PBFI) and 2′,7′-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). The sequential removal of K+ and Na+ from the medium, in the presence of CryIC, a toxin which is highly active against Sf9 cells, caused sharp shifts in the fluorescence ratio of PBFI, demonstrating a rapid efflux of these ions. In Sf9 cells, pH i depends strongly on the activity of a K+/H+ exchanger. In the absence of toxin, removal of K+ from the external medium resulted in a reversible acidification of the cells. In the presence of CryIC, pH i equilibrated rapidly with that of the bathing solution. This effect was both time- and concentration-dependent. In contrast with CryIC, CryIIIA, a coleopteran-specific toxin, and CryIA(a), CryIA(b) and CryIA(c), toxins which are either inactive or poorly active against Sf9 cells, had no detectable effect on pH i . B. thuringiensis endotoxins thus appear to act specifically by increasing the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of susceptible cells to at least H+, K+ and Na+.

    Notes: Abstract The stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold of focused broad-band XeCl laser radiation depends on the ratio of the coherence length to the Rayleigh range, which is affected by the transverse beam quality. With reduction of the focal length, the threshold decreases first and then reaches a nearly constant value. In addition, the energy reflectivity is increased. On the other hand, pulse shortening occurs and the phase conjugation fidelity is decreased. Separation of single lines from the structured XeCl laser spectrum improves the SBS efficiency.

    Notes: Abstract A particulate precursor of YBa2Cu3O7−x was dispersed in a concentrated acetic/formic acid solution of yttrium, barium and copper acetates to form an extensible, viscous mixture. This dispersion was stable, unlike one prepared from superconductive YBa2Cu3O7−x itself. Fibres extruded from the viscous dispersion were fired at 935 °C in the presence of oxygen. Although the fired fibres were not fully densified, they had a sharp Meissner transition temperature at 90 K and an apparent critical current density (J c) of 900 A cm−2 (1800 A cm−2 corrected for porosity) at 77 K. The superconducting fibre was sensitive to magnetic field, which is evidence of weak coupling between the superconducting grains.

    Notes: Abstract Chorusing males of the neotropical treefrog Hyla microcephala call in distinct bouts punctuated by periods of silence, a pattern known as unison bout singing. Schwartz (1991) previously tested and refuted the hypotheses that males periodically stop calling either because of a female preference for males that call cyclically, or because high ambient noise levels inhibit vocal activity. Males of H. microcephala are vocally responsive to the calls of other males, and during calling bouts their rate of note production can exceed 10,000 per hour. In natural choruses females preferentially pair with males that call at the higher rates. Because females can pair with males over many hours, males may stop calling periodically to save energy so they can continue to call for the entire period that females are available. We directly tested this energy conservation hypothesis by collecting samples of males early in the evening just after chorusing commenced and later when chorusing had ended for the night. Trunk muscles (internal and external oblique), which are responsible for the airflow associated with note production, were dissected, frozen, and their glycogen content measured. Data on calling behavior were obtained for late-evening samples. Individual calling behavior was not correlated with a male's final glycogen level. In addition, many males ended their calling before glycogen reserves were exhausted, indicating that factors other than energy can determine when males finally stop chorusing. However, the biochemical assays supported the energy conservation hypothesis. Unless chorusing was punctuated by pauses, most males would have been unable to sustain high rates of calling for an entire evening without exhausting glycogen reserves in their trunk muscles. Because the time females pair with males is probably unpredictable to males., the ability to call for long periods may improve a male's chances of mating.
