    Notes: Abstract The effect of calcium supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated in female twin pairs aged 10–17 years with a mean age of 14 years. Forty-two twin pairs (22 monozygotic, 20 dizygotic; (including one monozygotic pair from a set of triplets) completed at least 6 months of the intervention: 37 pairs to 12 months and 28 pairs to 18 months. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In a double-blind manner, one twin in each pair was randomly assigned to receive daily a 1000 mg effervescent calcium tablet (Sandocal 1000), and the other a placebo tablet similar in taste and appearance to the calcium supplement but containing no calcium. Compliance (at least 80% tablets consumed), as measured by tablet count, was 85% in the placebo group and 83% in the calcium group over the 18 months of the study, on average increasing dietary calcium to over 1600 mg/day. There was no within-pair difference in the change in height or weight. When the effect of calcium supplementation on BMD was compared with placebo at approximately 6, 12 and 18 months, it was found that there was a 0.015±0.007 g/ cm2 greater increase in BMD (1.62±0.84%) at the spine in those on calcium after 18 months. At the end of the first 6 months there was a significant within-pair difference of 1.53±0.56% at the spine and 1.27±0.50% at the hip. However, there were no significant differences in the changes in BMD after the initial effect over the first 6 months. Therefore, we found an increase in BMD at the spine with calcium supplementation in females with a mean age of 14 years. The greatest effect was seen in the first 6 months; thereafter the difference was maintained, but there was no accelerated increase in BMD associated with calcium supplementation. The continuance of the intervention until the attainment of peak bone mass and follow-up after cessation of calcium supplementation will be important in clarifying the optimal timing for increased dietary calcium and the sustained, long-term effects of this intervention.

    Notes: Summary.  The bovine papillomavirus (BPV) transforming gene E5 is thought to modulate growth factor receptor function leading to a stimulation of growth factor signal transduction pathways. However, the influence of E5 on the range of receptor mediated changes in protein phosphorylation has not been addressed. We looked for the influence of E5 on DNA synthesis as well as the phosphorylation of over 1000 cellular phosphoproteins in mouse C127 fibroblasts and subclones harboring wild type (ID13)-, E5- mutant (XL3-2), and E6- (E6oCl) mutant BPVs. The cells containing E5 had an altered growth response to fresh serum or PDGF but we observed no general influences of E5 transformation on sets of serum-, phorbol ester-, and PDGF-responsive phosphoproteins, comprising 25, 18, and 16 overlapping members, respectively. Indeed, most of the phosphoproteins comprising these sets remain equally responsive to these growth factors in all four cell lines. The only evidence of an E5-specific influence on protein phosphorylation was with 4 phosphoproteins, two whose PDGF-responsiveness was abolished and two with abolished serum-, phorbol ester- and PDGF-responsiveness. Thus E5 modulates only a subset of the cascade of receptor-mediated downstream protein phosphorylations.

    Notes: Abstract A commercial set of polymers has been characterized by TG-DTA, DSC, TMA, FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Thermal and mechanical stability, as well as the polymer glass transition temperature,T g, and melt temperature,T m, have been documented. There is a good correlation between measuredT g andT m values and published data. The degree of polymer crystallinity for polyethylene has been verified by XRD. The credibility and stability of these reference polymers is based on a comparison of their thermal properties, over a wide range of temperatures from two versions of a reference set, published in 1979 (A) and 1994 (B). The thermal properties and crystallinity of these polymers have stood the test of time and are reliable, readily available and consistent.

    Notes: Abstract The corrosion resistance of the cast superalloy K38G and a sputtered nanocrystalline coating of the same material was investigated in pure CO in the temperature range, 850–1000°C and in CO-20 vol.% CO2 at 900°C. The cast K38G alloy formed Cr2O3 and TiO2 scales, and a zone of internal Al2O3 precipitation. Weight-gain kinetics followed the parabolic rate law under all conditions investigated. The sputtered K38G nanocrystalline coating, however, formed a single-phase Al2O3 scale and no internal-oxidation zone. The parabolic rate constants for nanocrystalline coating oxidation were about one order of magnitude smaller than those of the cast alloy. The changes in reaction morphology and rate are attributed to the more rapid grain-boundary diffusion of aluminum in the nanocrystalline material.

    Notes: Abstract Digital imaging techniques especially geared towards the laboratory characterization of the kinematics of water-sediment interaction are presented. More specifically, the methods proposed apply to the motion of cohesionless spherical particles in transient water flow, with the aim of obtaining both particle velocity and concentration fields from sequences of digital images. A special particle identification algorithm is devised in order to deal with densely packed particles (in contrast to the sparase seedings of tracers used in studies of pure fluid kinematics) and to allow application of digital particle tracking velocimetry (DPTV). A procedure for extracting the concentration field from the knowledge of the discrete positions is then detailed. Finally, the various tools are illustrated for the laboratory case of a dambreak wave over a movable bed.
