    Notes: We have presented, in Part I of this series of two articles, the applicability of dynamic melt studies of the surface of a target under pulsed CO2 laser radiation to determine the onset of melt in these targets. Determination of this time and the accurate synchronization of an excimer (KrF) laser to coincide with the onset of melt on the target surface was shown to lead to particulate-free film deposition for Y2O3 and ZnO films. A key feature of the pump–probe reflectivity studies was the dynamic enhancement of the reflected probe signal, indicating the onset of melt. Some metallic targets, depending on the diameter of the precursor powder globules, such as the zinc target used in this study, do not yield such observable enhancements. In this article (Part II) we present the determination of the time for ablation of a variety of metallic targets under pulsed CO2 laser radiation, by monitoring the dynamic target reflectivity. The melt time is either directly determined or, in the absence of observable melt, estimated based on a simple thermal model for the absorption of the laser radiation by the target. Correlation of the calculated melt times with the morphological quality of particulate-free film growth of Zn is demonstrated. The effect of variable CO2 laser fluence on the deposited films is also demonstrated. The universality of applicability of the target reflectivity studies to a wide range of dissimilar materials, as well as the physical basis for the removal of particulates in dual-laser ablation is established. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have analyzed the cathodoluminescence spectra of Sm3+ ions implanted and annealed in GaN epilayers. High-resolution emission spectra were obtained at 11 K between 350 and 1050 nm, representing transitions from the 4G5/2 to the 6HJ and 6FJ manifolds of Sm3+(4f5). Emission lifetimes were determined at various temperatures between 7 and 320 K for transitions from 4G5/2 to 6H5/2, 6H7/2, and 6H9/2. Lattice-sum calculations were carried out to determine the crystal-field splitting of the multiplet manifolds. With individual Stark levels and corresponding wave functions identified, the matrix elements for both electric–dipole and magnetic–dipole transitions were calculated between levels. Radiative lifetimes were calculated and compared with experimental lifetimes. High quantum efficiencies are reported. The calculated branching ratios for transitions from 4G5/2 to 6HJ and 6FJ manifolds indicate that transitions to 6H5/2, 6H7/2, and 6H9/2 account for 80% of the total observed emission. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Evidence for the physical basis and universality of the elimination of particulates using dual-laser ablation. I. Dynamic time-resolved target melt studies, and film growth of Y2O3 and ZnO (2002)

    Notes: The application of a dual-laser ablation process, incorporating the addition of a synchronized CO2 laser to the traditional excimer (KrF) laser used for the ablation of targets in thin film deposition, has been previously demonstrated to be effective in the elimination of particulates in films of Y2O3 [J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 13, 1171 (1995)]. It has been hypothesized that the efficacy of particulate removal is related to phase transformation from the solid to liquid phase prior to excimer laser ablation of the target material. In this series of two articles we present direct physical evidence of the dynamics of the phase transformation occurring on the target surface and its effect on the morphology of film growth. Pump–probe experiments have been conducted using the CO2 laser to probe the dynamic reflectivity of the target surface on the nanosecond timescale. These experiments were conducted for a range of materials spanning a wide range of thermal conductivity including a low thermal conductivity insulator (Y2O3), and a sublimating oxide (ZnO), as well as a high thermal conductivity metal (Zn) to assess the universal applicability of the results. In this article (Part I) the results of these dynamic reflectivity experiments are correlated with previously reported particulate-free deposition of thin films of Y2O3. Similar experiments are conducted for ZnO. In both cases, the reflectivity measurements yielded times for the onset of melt at a variety of CO2 laser fluences. Synchronization of the KrF laser to coincide with the onset of melt resulted in particulate-free film growth. The effect of mistiming on the quality of the deposited film is presented for ZnO. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: This paper considers the application of cellular manufacturing (CM) to batch production by exploring the shop floor performance trade-offs associated with shops employing different levels of CM. The literature has alluded to a continuum that exists between the purely departmentalized job shop and the completely cellular shop. However, the vast majority of CM research exists at the extremes of this continuum. Here, we intend to probe performance relationships by comparing shops that exist at different stages of CM adoption. Specifically, we begin with a hypothetical departmentalized shop found in the CM literature, and in a stepwise fashion, form independent cells. At each stage, flow time and tardiness performance is recorded. Modeling results indicate that, depending on shop conditions and managerial objectives, superior shop performance may be recorded by the job shop, the cell shop, or by one of the shops between these extreme points. In fact, under certain conditions, shops that contain partially formed cells perform better than shops that use completely formed cells. Additional results demonstrate that in order to achieve excellent performance, managers investigating specific layouts need to pay especially close attention to changes in machine utilization as machine groups are partitioned into cells.

    Glycosylation in the control of selectin counter-receptor structure and function (2002)

    Notes: Summary: Leukocyte trafficking is characterized by sequential cell adhesion and activation events that deliver specific leukocyte subsets to distinct extravascular locations under different pathophysiological circumstances. E-, P- and/or L-selectin-dependent leukocyte–endothelial cell adhesive interactions contribute essentially to this process. Selectin counter-receptor activity on leukocyte and high endothelial venules is borne by specific glycoproteins whose ability to support adhesion requires specific post-translational modifications. These modifications are typified by serine/threonine-linked oligosaccharides capped with the sialyl Lewis x moiety, an α2–3sialylated, α1-3ucosylated tetrasaccharide synthesized by specific glycosyltransferases. Recent advances in glycan structure analysis and in characterizing mice with targeted deletions of glycosyltransferase and sulfotransferase genes discloses an essential role for 6-O GlcNAc sulfate modification of the sialyl Lewis x tetrasaccharide in L-selectin counter-receptor activity. Related studies identify novel extended Core 1 type O-glycans bearing the 6-sulfosialyl Lewis x moiety, define the molecular nature of the MECA-79 epitope, and disclose a requirement for the α1-3fucosyltransferases FucT-IV and FucT-VII in the elaboration of L-selectin counter-receptor activities. Parallel studies also demonstrate that these 2 fucosyltransferases, a core 2 GlcNAc transferase, and core 2-type sialyl Lewis x determinants make essential contributions to leukocyte P-selectin counter-receptor activity, and figure prominently in the control of leukocyte E-selectin counter-receptor activity.

    Notes: Aims To examine the long-term impact of brief and early interventions for hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption.Design A 9-month and 10-year follow-up of subjects recruited into a randomized controlled trial of a range of alcohol-related brief interventions.Setting General practices, the outpatient or acute care services of a major city hospital, and a privately run health screening programmeme.Participants The cohort of 554 (non-dependent) hazardous and harmful drinkers recruited into the Australian arm of the Phase II World Health Organization collaborative project on identification and treatment of persons with harmful alcohol consumption.Intervention The effectiveness of three forms of intervention, ranging from 5 to 60 minutes in duration, were compared with a no-treatment control condition.Measurements Included drinking behaviour and biological markers of alcohol use. In addition, at 10 years subjects were asked about symptoms of diagnosable alcohol use disorders and their experience of alcohol-related psychological, social and physical harm. Mortality was also assessed.Findings Results provide further evidence for the short-term effectiveness of alcohol-related brief interventions. In comparison to controls, subjects offered intervention: (1) report significantly lower consumption; and (2) less unsafe drinking at 9-month follow-up. The intensity of intervention was not related to the amount of change in drinking behaviour. Analysis at 10 years failed to find any differences in outcomes between intervention and control groups in median consumption, mean reduction in consumption from baseline to follow-up, mortality and ICD-10 diagnoses of alcohol dependence or harmful alcohol use.Conclusions This study failed to find evidence that brief advice and counselling without regular follow-up and reinforcement can sustain significant long-term reductions in drinking behaviour at 10-year follow-up.

    Preservation of extracellular glutathione by an astrocyte derived factor with properties comparable to extracellular superoxide dismutase (2002)

    Notes: Cultured rat and human astrocytes and rat neurones were shown to release reduced glutathione (GSH). In addition, GSH oxidation was retarded by the concomitant release of a factor from the cells. One possibility is that this factor is extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD). In support of this, the factor was found to bind heparin, have a molecular mass estimated to be between 50 and 100 kDa, and CuZn-type SOD protein and cyanide sensitive enzyme activity were demonstrated in the cell-conditioned medium. In addition, supplementation of native medium with exogenous CuZn-type SOD suppressed GSH oxidation. We propose that preservation of released GSH is essential to allow for maximal up-regulation of GSH metabolism in neurones. Furthermore, cytokine stimulation of astrocytes increased release of the extracellular SOD, and enhanced stability of GSH. This may be a protective strategy occurring in vivo under conditions of oxidative stress, and suggests that SOD mimetics may be of therapeutic use.

    Herbivory in global climate change research: direct effects of rising temperature on insect herbivores (2002)

    Notes: This review examines the direct effects of climate change on insect herbivores. Temperature is identified as the dominant abiotic factor directly affecting herbivorous insects. There is little evidence of any direct effects of CO2 or UVB. Direct impacts of precipitation have been largely neglected in current research on climate change. Temperature directly affects development, survival, range and abundance. Species with a large geographical range will tend to be less affected. The main effect of temperature in temperate regions is to influence winter survival; at more northerly latitudes, higher temperatures extend the summer season, increasing the available thermal budget for growth and reproduction. Photoperiod is the dominant cue for the seasonal synchrony of temperate insects, but their thermal requirements may differ at different times of year. Interactions between photoperiod and temperature determine phenology; the two factors do not necessarily operate in tandem. Insect herbivores show a number of distinct life-history strategies to exploit plants with different growth forms and strategies, which will be differentially affected by climate warming. There are still many challenges facing biologists in predicting and monitoring the impacts of climate change. Future research needs to consider insect herbivore phenotypic and genotypic flexibility, their responses to global change parameters operating in concert, and awareness that some patterns may only become apparent in the longer term.
