    Notes: NI in argon and in argon/10% N2 matrices has been excited into b 1Σ+, v'=0–4 with a pulsed tunable dye laser. The regular line structure in the fluorescence excitation and emission spectra in pure argon matrices is attributed to a local phonon progression of 15 cm−1, both in the X 3Σ− and b 1Σ+ states. "Hot'' local phonon lines, which originate in the thermally populated levels n'=1 and 2 of the local phonon mode at elevated temperatures, have been identified. The matrix lifetime of the vibrationally relaxed b state, which does not relax via the a state in pure argon, extrapolates to a radiative lifetime of 15 μs in vacuo, in satisfactory agreement with a recent gas phase determination. The a state of NI, which emits at 1185 and 1173 nm, could be populated via the b state only in mixed matrices of argon and N2. The lifetime in these matrices is 20.5±2 ms, which extrapolates to a gas phase radiative lifetime of approximately 38 ms. The b state of NI is completely quenched in pure nitrogen matrices, but emission from the a state is still detected with a lifetime of 4.6±0.5 ms. On the basis of these results recently reported a-state lifetimes of NCl and NBr in the ms to sub-ms range appear unreasonably low.

    Notes: NBr in solid argon has been excited to the b 1Σ+ state with a pulsed tunable dye laser. In addition to the well-known fluorescence spectrum of the b state, infrared emission from the vibrationally relaxed a 1Δ state was detected at 1086 nm. Three major trapping sites were resolved in absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra of the b–X system. Additional sites could be identified in the excitation spectrum of the a state, which is populated via the b state by internal conversion. There is a weak site effect on the lifetime of the vibrationally relaxed b state, which varies between 40 and 30 μs. Vibrational relaxation rates in the b state show a stronger site dependence. Internal conversion from b 1Σ+ to a 1Δ accounts for 〈0.1% to at least 17% of the decay rate of NBr b 1Σ+, v=0. Orbitally forbidden transitions to the X10+ component of the ground state were identified 23.0 to 25.5 cm−1 on the high-energy side of the more intense a 1Δ→X21± transition of several sites. The lifetime of the a state varies between 152±12 ms in the least perturbed site and 121±15 ms in the site with the strongest a 1Δ→X10+ forbidden component. NBr trapped in double vacancies of pure fcc argon, of single stacking faults, and of multiple stacking faults (hcp pockets) in argon, can account for the sites.

    Notes: Abstract— This paper presents the results of an experimental testing programme to examine the uniaxial creep, low cycle fatigue and creep/fatigue interaction behaviour of a Ni-base superalloy at 700°C. The material is used in the manufacture of aeroengine turbine discs. A creep continuum damage mechanics model is shown to be capable of accurately predicting the creep and creep rupture behaviour of the material. A healing term has been incorporated into the damage mechanics model to allow the behaviour under creep/fatigue conditions to be described.

    Notes: The homes of 120 patients with asthma, 57 in Vancouver and 63 in Winnipeg, were studied. The characteristics of the homes were assessed by a questionnaire. Dust samples were collected and the indoor relative humidity was measured four times during the year covering all four seasons in both cities. Mite allergen levels were determined using monoclonal antibodies against Der p I and Der f I by the ELISA method. The mean levels of both mite allergens in mattress and floor samples in the homes in Vancouver and in Winnipeg were relatively low for all seasons. Mite allergen levels were found to be associated with city, season and individual home differences. They were significantly higher in Vancouver than in Winnipeg. Der p I and Der f I in mattress samples in both cities and Der f I in floor samples in Vancouver, varied by season. The indoor relative humidity level in the homes in Vancouver were also significantly higher than those in Winnipeg. There was, however, no significant association between the levels of indoor relative humidity and the levels of mite allergens after adjusting for variations in city, season and individual home. Although individual home differences were highly associated with mite allergen levels, only a few home characteristics were found to be related to mite allergen levels such as the type and the age of the home, the type of heating, the use of feather pillows and the number of occupants in the homes. Whether low levels of mite allergens are partially responsible for the relatively low prevalence of childhood asthma in Canada remains to be investigated.

    Notes: One of the challenges of monitoring network design in a fractured rock setting is the heterogeneity of the rocks. This paper summarizes the activities and problems associated with the monitoring of contaminated groundwater in porous, low-permeability fractured chalk in the Negev Desert, Israel. Preferential flow documented in the study area required siting the monitoring boreholes in the predominant fracture systems. Lineaments traced from aerial photographs were examined in the field to sort out the large-extension, through-going, multilayer fracture systems crossing the study area. At each proposed drilling site, these fractures were exposed below the sediment cover using trenches. Slanted boreholes were drilled at a distance from the fracture systems so that each borehole would intersect the targeted fracture plane below the water table. Based on their short recovery period and contaminated ground water, these newly drilled, fracture-oriented boreholes appeared to be better connected to preferential flowpaths crossing the industrial site than the old boreholes existing on site. Other considerations concerning the drilling and logging of monitoring boreholes in a fractured media were: (1) coring provides better documentation of the vertical fracture distribution, but dry augering is less costly and enables immediate ground water sampling and the sampling of vadose rock for contaminant analysis; (2) caliper and TV camera logs appear to provide only partial information regarding the vertical fracture distribution; and (3) the information gained by deepening the monitoring boreholes and testing fractures crossing their uncased walls has to be carefully weighed against the risk of potential cross-contamination through the monitoring boreholes, which is enhanced in fractured media.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of the midgut epithelium of Phalangium opilio was examined. In the anterior part of the midgut the epithelium consists of three different types of cells, called resorption, digestion, and excretion cells according to their presumed functions. Excretion cells may represent old digestion cells. The relation between resorption and digestion cells needs further investigation. The epithelium of the posterior part of the midgut consists of two types, transport and secretion cells, which seem to serve mainly for the resorption of water and the secretion of peritrophic membranes, respectively. Peritrophic membranes are secreted by the anterior midgut epithelium mainly in a period between 2 and 4 h after feeding. Chitin or chitin precursors could be localized in vesicles and in the brush border of midgut cells, and in the peritrophic membranes, using colloidal gold labelled with wheat germ agglutinin. Two different textures of chitin-containing microfibrils were found in the peritrophic membranes, either a random or a hexagonal texture. The latter results if the microfibrils polymerize between the basal parts of the microvilli. Irregularities of the hexagonal texture can be correlated with an irregular pattern of the microvilli. In the posterior midgut peritrophic membranes with a random texture, chitin-containing microfibrils are continuously secreted in the form of patches.

    Notes: Abstract. In a randomized study, prevention of goiter recurrence with l-thyroxine was compared with pure iodide substitution after thyroid surgery for nodular goiter in an iodine-deficient area. Altogether 107 patients were followed up for 52 weeks after thyroid resection. The thyroid volume was determined sonographically. Free thyroxine, total thyroxine, thyrotropin, thyroglobulin, and antibodies to thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase were measured. The thyroid volume decreased slightly over the course of a year in the two therapy groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups. Recurrences were seen with both l-thyroxine medication and iodide substitution. The thyroglobulin levels fell significantly over the 52-week follow-up period in the iodide group. Antibody formation was not observed under iodine substitution. In an area of iodine deficiency, substitution with iodide is just as effective as medicating the patients with l-thyroxine for preventing recurrences.

    Notes: Abstract Medulloblastomas are generally associated with childhood, but 14–30% occur in adults, accounting for 1% of adult central nervous system tumors. While approximately one third of adult medulloblastomas present as vermian tumors similar to those seen in childhood, the majority differ substantially from the childhood variety. In this series of 13 patients, 5 had lateral, seemingly extra-axial masses in the cerebellopontine angle or at the tentorium, simulating meningiomas or acoustic neuromas, but angiographic hypovascularity in 2 of the latter suggested a diagnosis other than meningioma. Of 4 paramedian tumors, 3 diffusely infiltrated the cerebellar white matter, showed little or no gadolinium enhancement and were not associated with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus was present in less than half of our patients; in childhood the reported incidence is 85–100%. A possible association with pregancy was noted.
