    Notes: A modified version of the microwave signal processing system for the 1.5 tonne niobium bar gravitational radiation antenna at the University of Western Australia has been developed and tested during preparations for long-term observation. Among the new features of the system are a noncontacting microwave coupling to the motion transducer, cryogenic low-noise amplification, and automatic carrier suppression with improved long-term stability.

    Notes: A comparison has been made between the Al via fill mechanisms in both reflow and forcefill processes. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy has been used to study the Al transport into the vias as a function of time. Our analysis shows that reflow and forcefill results can be explained by a stress relaxation model. We propose that the transport of aluminum into the vias as a function of time is described by both diffusion and dislocation movement. In the case of reflow at high temperature, the vias may be filled completely, after closure, by high-temperature creep of Al. In the case of forcefill, an additional high stress has been applied which raises the strain levels such to activate the dislocation glide and climb mechanism. The results from detailed investigations of the microstructure by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy support these new insights. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Gravitational radiation detectors must detect extremely small displacements, and thus require elaborate vibration isolation systems to attenuate the surrounding environmental noise. Contacting electrical leads can provide a direct path that will short circuit the vibration isolation, and degrade the antenna Q factor. Noncontacting microstrip transceivers provide a practical means of electromagnetically coupling to a resonant bar gravitational antenna when a microwave transducer is used as a signal readout system. Two microwave patch antennas now operate as transceivers on the University of Western Australia's 1.5 tonne niobium bar gravitational radiation antenna and are described in detail in this paper. This system allows improved vibration isolation without degradation of the acoustic Q factor of the niobium bar. Combined with a cryogenic amplifier, this system should achieve a reduction of 57 dB in the series noise power. This corresponds to a factor of 700 reduction in the effective displacement noise when referred to the transducer, from 2×10−16 to 3×10−19 m/(square root of)Hz.

    Notes: Summary. In a prospective, randomized, cross-over study, 14 postmenopausal women completed 9 months of treatment with conjugated equine oestrogens, 1.25 mg daily. Seven women added dydrogesterone 20 mg daily for 12 days during months 2, 3 and 4, and then 10 mg daily for an identical time in months 5,6 and 7. The other seven women added the two dydrogesterone doses in reverse sequence. No dydrogesterone was taken during months 8 and 9. Lipids and lipoproteins were measured before treatment and at the end of months 4, 7 and 9. Lipids were also estimated in an untreated (reference) group of eight postmenopausal women on two occasions 6 months apart; these showed significant changes in HDL2- and HDL3-cholesterol. In the treatment group, HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) Al were significantly higher and LDL-cholesterol and apo B were significantly lower at months 4, 7 and 9 compared with baseline values. Triglyceride levels were increased significantly over baseline values, but remained within the normal range. No significant differences between the two dydrogesterone doses were observed on any lipid and lipoprotein fraction, nor were there any differences between the oestrogen-only and oestrogen/dydrogesterone treatment phases. Dydrogesterone appears to cause little, if any, lipid and lipoprotein changes and assessment in a larger population of postmenopausal women is warranted.

    Notes: Anxiety was assessed in younger and older adolescent athletes in an attempt to test aspects of Hanin's zone of optimal function theory. Sixty-five participants in a track and field camp completed anxiety inventories at baseline and were instructed: 1) to recall how anxious they felt prior to their best performance and 2) to predict how anxious they would feel prior to an informal meet to be held 4 days later. Actual precompetition anxiety was assessed 1 h prior to the meet. Predicted precompetition anxiety was significantly higher than baseline and actual precompetition anxiety. Mean actual precompetition anxiety was not elevated above baseline. However, 34% (22/65) of the sample experienced high levels of precompetition anxiety, and the majority of these (17/22) reported performing optimally with high anxiety. Significant correlations between predicted and actual precompetition anxiety occurred for boys, but not for girls. The differences between predicted and actual precompetition values tended to be smaller in boys than in girls. Based on this sample, it is concluded that: 1) in accordance with the zone of optimal function theory, young athletes display considerable diversity in actual and optimal precompetition anxiety values; and 2) young athletes tend to overestimate the level of anxiety they will experience prior to an easy competition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der parallelen Berechnung von Vektornormen und Skalarprodukten in Gleitkomma-Arithmetik und einer möglichen neuen Form der Computer-Arithmetik, dem “Symmetrischen Level-index System”. Die Vektornormen sind ein lehrreiches Beispiel für die Unterschiede zwischen diesen beiden arithmetischen Systemen bezüglich einer möglichen Programmierung mit (vollkommener) Robustheit und Parallelität. Der Konflikt zwischen der Robustheit der Rechnung—im Sinne von Genauigkeit und Sicherheit vor Überlauf und Unterlauf-und einer einfachen Parallelisierbarkeit von Algorithmen in einer Gleitkomma-Umgebung wird aufgezeigt. Es wird deutlich, dass dieser Konflikt bei Verwendung des “Symmetrischen Level-Index Systems” verschwindet. Der Wegfall von Überlauf und Unterlauf in diesem System gestattet die direkte Programmierung der Definitionen in einer einfachen, robusten und unmittelbar parallelisierbaren Weise. Numerische Resultate illustrieren, dass das “Level-index System” vergleichbare Genauigkeit zu Gleitkomma liefert, wen das letztere System funktioniert, und noch hohe Genauigkeit dort resultiert, wo das Gleitkomma-System völlig versagt.
    Notes: Abstract In this paper we consider the parallel computation of vector norms and inner products in floating-point and a proposed new form of computer arithmetic, the symmetric level-index system. The vector norms provide an illuminating example of the contrast between the two arithmetic systems under discussion in terms of the ability to program for (complete) robustness and parallelizability. The conflict between robustness of the computation—in the sense of the dual requirements of accuracy and freedom from overflow and underflow—and easy parallelization of the algorithms within a floating-point environment is made plain. It is seen that this conflict disappears if the symmetric level-index system of arithmetic is used. The freedom from overflow and underflow offered by this system allows the programming of the straightforward definitions in a way which is simple, robust and immediately parallelizable. Numerical results are given to illustrate the fact that the symmetric level-index system yields results of comparable accuracy to those of floating-point in cases where the latter system works and still yields results of high accuracy when the floating-point system fails altogether.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Purpose: Regional hyperthermia in combination with chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy is a promising treatment concept for locally advanced, deep-seated tumors. The purpose of the project is the optimization of the therapy using non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging of tissue changes or of the temperature distribution during regional hyperthermia. Methods: MRI offers methods suitable in principle for tissue characterization and MR thermometry. A new MRI-hyperthermia hybrid system has been developed based on an innovative hyperthermia applicator and an open MRI system. Results: After successful testing of the new MRI-hyperthermia hybrid system simultaneous MRI and regional hyperthermia in patients could be accomplished for the first time. At present the T1 relaxation time seems to be a promising parameter for MR thermometry. Conclusion: The first clinical application of the MRI-hyperthermia hybrid system can be regarded as an important step towards the development of regional hyperthermia. This new hybrid system and the MR thermometry methods have to be investigated prospectively in clinical studies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Fragestellung: Die regionale Tiefenhyperthermie in Kombination mit Chemotherapie und/oder Radiotherapie ist ein vielversprechendes Behandlungskonzept für lokal fortgeschrittene, tiefliegende Tumoren. Ziel dieses Projektes ist die nichtinvasive, dreidimensionale Darstellung der Gewebsveränderungen und der Temperaturverteilungen während der regionalen Tiefenhyperthermie. Methodik: Die Magnetresonanztomographie bietet prinzipiell geeignete Methoden für die Gewebecharakterisierung und für die MR-Thermometrie. Auf der Basis eines innovativen Hyperthermieapplikators und eines offenen MR-Tomographen wurde ein neues MRT-Hyperthermie-Hybridsystem entwickelt und erprobt. Ergebnisse: Nach der erfolgreichen Erprobung des neuen MRT-Hyperthermie-Hybridsystems an Phantomen und Probanden konnte erstmals am Patienten eine simultane MR-Bildgebung und Tiefenhyperthermie durchgeführt werden. Die T1-Relaxationszeit erscheint nach unseren derzeitigen Forschungsergebnissen ein vielversprechender Ansatz für die MR-Thermometrie bei 0,2 T zu sein. Schlußfolgerung: Der erstmalige klinische Einsatz des MRT-Hyperthermie-Hybridsystems kann als wichtiger Meilenstein für die Gesamtentwicklung der regionalen Tiefenhyperthermie bezeichnet werden. Das neue Gerät und die unterschiedlichen MRT-Verfahren, insbesondere die der MR-Thermometrie, müssen nun in klinischen Studien untersucht werden.
