    Notes: This paper provides comparative information on the reproductive biology of the alfonsino, Beryx splendens Lowe, 1834, species with commercial interest in the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands. A total of 846 individuals from Azores (14.0–42.0 cm fork length), 621 from Madeira (17.2–50.0 cm fork length) and 643 from the Canaries (18.2–38.9 cm fork length) were used for the study. The alfonsino is gonochoric with no evidence of sexual dimorphism. Females are more abundant than males; this dominance probably reflects certain differences in the spatial distribution and/or the catchability of males and females in the Macaronesian archipelagos. The spawning season was distinct for the three Macaronesian areas, with an observed North–South variation in the reproductive period: September–March in the Azores, March–June in Madeira and July–September in the Canary Islands. The size at sexual maturity estimated for Madeira and the Canary Islands is similar (32 and 30 cm fork length, respectively), while for the Azores it is reached at smaller length (23 cm fork length). The differences observed in the size at sexual maturity can be explained by the different exploitation levels in each archipelago. Life-history parameters of the alfonsino suggest that this species has a specialistic life-history strategy and fisheries based on this species are more susceptible to growth overfishing and population depletion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A 36-year old woman was presented to our hospital with congenital ventricular septal defect and one-vessel coronary artery disease (75% proximal left main coronary artery) for CABG and repair of the VSD. After induction, a transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) baseline examination was performed, showing a severely dilated coronary sinus (CS) measuring approximately 3 cm (abnormal 〉1 cm). We suggested a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining into the CS. PLSVC is a common venous congenital anomaly, with a reported incidence of 0.5% in general population and in 3–5 % of patients with congenital heart defect. Injection of echo-contrast solution in a left arm vein, visualizing microbubbles passing through the PLSVC into the CS confirmed our suspicion. The diagnosis of a PLSVC and dilated CS is a contraindication for retrograde cardioplegia because of the loss of cardioplegia into the PLSVC resulting in a inadequate myocardial protection. It may be difficult to pass a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) through a left internal or left subclavian vein and it may be associated with arrythmias. A chest radiograph shows the anomalous course of the PAC along the left heart.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Eine 36jährige Frau, mit einem kongenitalen Ventrikelseptumdefekt (VSD) und einer koronaren 1-Gefäßerkrankung (75% Hauptstammstenose) wurde unserem Krankenhaus zur Koronarbypassoperation und Verschluß des VSD zugewiesen. Nach der Narkoseeinleitung führten wir eine transösophageale echokardiographische Basisuntersuchung durch. Es zeigte sich ein deutlich dilatierter Koronarsinus (CS) von ca. 3 cm Durchmesser (abnormal 〉1 cm). Man vermutete eine persistierende linke obere Hohlvene (PLSVC), die sich in den CS drainiert. Die PLSVC ist eine venöse kongenitale Annomalie mit einer Inzidenz von 0,5% in der Normalbevölkerung und von 3–5% bei Patienten mit kongenitalen Herzerkrankungen. Nach Injektion von Echokontrastmittel über eine linke Armvene zeigten sich sog. Microbubbles im CS und bestätigten unsere Verdachtsdiagnose. Die Diagnose einer PLSVC und eines dilatierten CS gilt als eine Kontraindikation für die retrograde Kardioplegie, da es über die PLSVC zum Verlust von Kardioplegie, mit daraus resultierender unzureichender Kardioprotektion kommt. Die Plazierung eines Pulmonalarterienkatheters über die linke V. jugularis interna oder die linke V. subclavia kann erschwert sein und zu Herzrhythmusstörungen führen. Eine Röntgenthoraxaufnahme zeigt den ungewöhnlichen Verlauf des PAK entlang des linken Herzschattens.

    Notes: Abstract We study interacting particle systems on the real line which generalize the Hammersley process [D. Aldous and P. Diaconis, Prob. Theory Relat. Fields 103:199–213 (1995)]. Particles jump to the right to a randomly chosen point between their previous position and that of the forward neighbor at a rate which may depend on the distance to the neighbor. A class of models is identified for which the invariant particle distribution is Poisson. The bulk of the paper is devoted to a model where the jump rate is constant and the jump length is a random fraction r of the distance to the forward neighbor drawn from a probability density φ(r) on the unit interval. This is a special case of the random average process of Ferrari and Fontes [El. J. Prob. 3 (1998)]. The discrete-time version of the model has been considered previously in the context of force propagation in granular media [S. N. Coppersmith et al., Phys. Rev. E 53:4673 (1996)]. We show that the stationary two-point function of particle spacings factorizes for any choice of φ(r). Under the assumption that this implies pairwise independence, the invariant density of interparticle spacings for the case of uniform φ(r) is found to be a gamma distribution with parameter ν, where ν=1/2, 1, and 2 for continuous-time, backward sequential, and discrete-time dynamics respectively. A heuristic derivation of a nonlinear diffusion equation is presented, and the tracer diffusion coefficient is computed for arbitrary φ(r) and different types of dynamics.

    Notes: Abstract: The charge-ordered perovskite Pr0.65Ca0.28Sr0.07MnO3 was investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, dielectric and optical spectroscopy and electron-spin resonance techniques. Under moderate magnetic fields, the charge order melts yielding colossal magnetoresistance effects with changes of the resistivity over eleven orders of magnitude. The optical conductivity is studied from audio frequencies far into the visible spectral regime. Below the phonon modes hopping conductivity is detected. Beyond the phonon modes the optical conductivity is explained by polaronic excitations out of a bound state. ESR techniques yield detailed informations on the (H,T ) phase diagram and reveal a broadening of the linewidth which can be modeled in terms of activated polaron hopping.

    Notes: Abstract: The Fermi surface of PrNi5 has been studied by the measurements of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect at temperatures between 0.3 and in magnetic fields up to 12 T. Two dHvA frequencies have been obtained. The electronic structure of PrNi5 was calculated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method. Five sheets of the Fermi surface and the multiple extremal cross sections were determined. First and second sheet have a hole-like structure. The agreement between theory and experiment is obtained by a small downward shift ( 0.1 eV) of the Fermi energy which is probably due to an underestimation of the role of 4 f electrons.

    Notes: Abstract: We study a one-dimensional disordered solid-on-solid model in which neighboring columns are shifted by quenched random phases. The static height-difference correlation function displays a minimum at a nonzero temperature. The model is equipped with volume-conserving surface diffusion dynamics, including a possible bias due to an electromigration force. In the case of Arrhenius jump rates a continuum equation for the evolution of macroscopic profiles is derived and confirmed by direct simulation. Dynamic surface fluctuations are investigated using simulations and phenomenological Langevin equations. In these equations the quenched disorder appears in the form of time-independent random forces. The disorder does not qualitatively change the roughening dynamics of near-equilibrium surfaces, but in the case of biased surface diffusion with Metropolis rates it induces a new roughening mechanism, which leads to an increase of the surface width as .

    Notes: Abstract: Nucleation on top of two-dimensional islands with step edge barriers is investigated using scaling arguments. The nucleation rate is expressed in terms of three basic time scales: the time interval between deposition events, the residence time of atoms on the island, and the encounter time required for atoms forming a stable nucleus to meet. Application to the problem of second layer nucleation on growing first layer islands yields a sequence of scaling regimes with different scaling exponents relating the critical island size, at which nucleation takes place, to the diffusion and deposition rates. Second layer nucleation is fluctuation-dominated, in the sense that the typical number of atoms on the island is small compared to , when the first layer island density exponent satisfies . The upper critical nucleus size, above which the conventional mean field theory of second layer nucleation is valid, increases with decreasing dimensionality. In the related case of nucleation on top of multilayer mounds fluctuation-dominated and mean field like regimes coexist for arbitrary values of the critical nucleus size .

    Notes: Abstract: EPR and 7Li NMR measurements were performed in the distorted inverse spinel V(LiCu)O4 down to 1.5 K. Anisotropy effects on magnetic resonance spectra due to the Jahn-Teller distortion of the oxygen octahedra surrounding the copper ions are discussed. The estimation of the spin-spin interactions deduced from the EPR-relaxation rate Δ H reveals a situation comparable to the prototypical one-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet CuGeO3. Approaching three-dimensional antiferromagnetic order ( T N ≈ 2 K) from above, both magnetic relaxation rates, Δ H EPR and 7 (1/ T 1 ), respectively, exhibit nearly the same critical divergence reminding to the onset of three-dimensional order in two-dimensional layered systems.
