    Notes: Fully dense disks, each consisting of a single crystal (111) plate of the relaxor-based ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-35 mol% PbTiO3 (PMN-35PT) embedded in a 0.48 ± 0.05 µm grain size polycrystalline matrix of the same composition, were formed by hot-pressing at 950°C for 30 min under 20 MPa. Specimens were subsequently annealed to promote migration of the single-crystal boundary through the polycrystal (a process termed seeded polycrystal conversion). An anneal of 10 h at 1150°C using PMN-35PT packing powder resulted in minimal single-crystal boundary migration, and was accompanied by matrix grain coarsening to 1.86 ± 0.20 µm. In contrast, an anneal of 10 h at 1150°C using PbZrO3 (PZ) sacrificial powder resulted in significant migration of the single-crystal boundary through the polycrystal, accompanied by matrix grain coarsening to 13.3 ± 0.3 µm. The shape of the grown crystal relative to the seed plate was consistent with the 〈111〉 direction being the fastest growth direction. Based on the grown crystal dimensions, a lower bound 〈111〉 growth velocity of 0.14 mm/h was calculated. The increased boundary mobility in the specimen that was annealed using PZ sacrificial powder is attributed to a boundary-wetting liquid PbO-based second phase that formed during the anneal. This phase is believed to have formed via PbO absorption from the surrounding vapor phase due to a higher equilibrium PbO vapor pressure above PZ than above PMN-35PT. The grown single crystal exhibited a promising 〈100〉 strain of 0.5% at an applied electric field of 4 MV/m.

    Notes: To assess soil and groundwater quality two generic (i.e. multifunctional) risk-based standards, Target and Intervention Value, have been developed, in the framework of the Dutch Soil Protection Act. These standards allow soil and groundwater to be classified as clean, slightly contaminated or seriously contaminated. The Target Value is basedon potential risks to ecosysystems, while the Intervention Value is based oqpotential risks to humans and ecosystems. In the case of serious soil contamination the site has, in principle, to be remediated, making it necessary to determine the remediation urgency on the basis of actual (i.e. site-specific) risks to humans and ecosystems and, besides, actual risks due to contaminant migration.

    Notes: Abstract The incidence of significant valvar insufficiency at late (〉6 month) follow-up was retrospectively evaluated in 27 young patients (age 4.0–18.0 years) undergoing 29 ablation procedures via the retrograde aortic approach for left-sided accessory connections in whom pre-ablation and post-ablation echocardiograms were available for review. Valvar insufficiency was graded using color flow techniques as absent, trivial, mild, moderate, or severe by blinded reviewers. Ablation was acutely successful via the retrograde approach in 25 of 29 procedures among these 27 patients. Successful ablation was ultimately achieved in all 27 patients. At baseline, 7 patients had evidence of trivial or mild mitral insufficiency, and no patient had aortic insufficiency. Three patients had evidence of impaired left ventricular systolic performance in the presence of manifest pre-excitation. At follow-up, pre-existing mitral insufficiency resolved in 5/7 patients, and persisted in 2 patients. New mitral insufficiency was evident in 3 patients, and new aortic insufficiency was transiently evident in 1 patient following ablation (all trivial). Institutional experience (mean rank 10 cases vs. 33 cases, p 〈 .0005), and lower patient weight (29.7 vs. 56.3 kilograms, p = .01) were the only factors associated with the development of new valvar insufficiency. Valvar insufficiency could not be detected by careful auscultation in any patient and was deemed clinically insignificant in all patients. We conclude that ablation of left-sided accessory connections can be performed via the retrograde aortic approach without creating clinically significant valvar insufficiency.

    Notes: Abstract Field observations indicate leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) is inhibited by the presence of Antennaria microphylla. Hydroquinone (HQ), one of several compounds isolated from A. microphylla has been shown to inhibit leafy spurge seed germination, root elongation, and callus culture growth. The present study was designed to analyze the effects of HQ on water relations and photosynthesis of leafy spurge. Plants grown in 0.25 mM HQ had consistently higher leaf diffusive resistance and lower transpiration rates than control plants (P 〈 0.05). Chlorophyll fluorescence was significantly lower than controls (P 〈 0.05) towards the end of the treatment period. At the end of the treatment, tissue from 0.25 mM HQ plants had higher levels of 13C, indicating there had been a sustained interference with stomatal function. These data suggest that a disruption of the plant water balance is one mechanism of leafy spurge inhibition by A. microphylla.

    Notes: Abstract This paper provides further empirical evidence of the validity of environmental benefits transfer based on CV studies by expanding the analysis to include control factors which have not been accounted for in previous studies. These factors refer to differences in respondent attitudes. Traditional population characteristics were taken into account, but these variables do not explain why respondents from the same socio-economic group may still hold different beliefs, norms or values and hence have different attitudes and consequently state different WTP amounts. The test results are mixed. The function transfer approach is valid in one case, but is rejected in the 3 other cases investigated in this paper. We provide further evidence that in the case of statistically valid benefits transfer, the function approach results in a more robust benefits transfer than the unit value approach. We also show that the equality of coefficient estimates is a necessary, but insufficient condition for valid benefit function transfer and discuss the implications for previous and future validity testing.
