    Notes: Abstract Eighty-six children (44 males, 42 females) were identified as having non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis. The diagnostic criteria were either culture of the organism from the affected lymph node (n=68), or, when culture was negative, a positive skin test with non-tuberculous mycobacterial antigens and negative skin test responses to tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) in association with typical histological features (n=18). All children had histopathological findings of granulomatous inflammation with caseation and/or acid-fast bacilli. Eighty-two percent of the children were under 5 years of age at presentation and 30% were less than 2 years old. Most (79%) were city dwellers. Lymph node enlargement had been present for less than 6 months in almost all children (97.5%) and was almost exclusively in the face and neck region (97%). Disease was confined to the involved lymph nodes in 56% but had extended beyond the confines of the infected node to form a collar stud abscess in 38% and 6% presented with a skin sinus. Extranodal extension did not show any statistically significant association with the duration of lymphadenopathy. The duration of lymphadenopathy had been greater in those children in whom an organism was not isolated on culture resected tissue χ2, P〈0.01). All children were treated surgically, and recurrence occurred in five patients. This study describes the clinical and demographic characteristics of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenopathy in children in a population in which tuberculous adenitis is rare. Recognition of these features may allow earlier diagnosis and appropriate surgical therapy.

    Notes: Summary Using disomic chromosome substitution lines based on the susceptible wheat cultivar ‘Chinese Spring’, loose smut resistance of wheat cultivars ‘Hope’ and ‘Thatcher’ was shown to be conferred in each case by a single dominant major gene carried on chromosome 7 A (‘Hope’) or 7 B (‘Thatcher’). Partial resistance was determined by genes on an additional eight ‘Hope’ or seven ‘Thatcher’ chromosomes, and similarities were evident between the partial resistance genotypes of‘Hope’ and ‘Thatcher’. ‘Chinese Spring’ exhibited a mean infection value of approximately 50%, indicating a significant level of partial resistance, which was found to be due, in part, to genes on the homoeologous chromosome arms 1 As, 1 Es and 1 Ds, and to cytoplasmic genes. Substitution of the ‘Chinese Spring’ nucleus into the cytoplasm of Aegilops squarrosa, Ae. variabilis or Ae. mutica resulted in increased susceptibility to Ustilago tritici. Several alloplasmic lines of the resistant wheat cultivars ‘Selkirk’ and ‘Chris’ exhibited race-specific susceptibility to U. tritici.

    Notes: Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy has been used to study the isothermal relaxation response of compression molded bisphenol-A polycarbonate at temperatures of 263, 273, and 303 K. The temperature dependence of both the lifetime and intensity of the ortho-Positronium (o-Ps) pickoff component is discussed in terms of ductile-to-brittle transition behavior and free volume theory. An additive exponential model and the Williams-Watt model were used to analyze the relaxation as a function of temperature and provided results consistent with the anticipated molecular mobility of polycarbonate at sub-Tg temperatures.

    Notes: We present the first results from a new apparatus for high spectral and angular resolution studies of sputtered neutral species. The sputtering experiments employ laser-induced fluorescence and a compact fiber-optic-based detection system to yield state-specific angular distributions for the sputtered atom flux. The angular resolution is of the order of 3° and a 260 MHz residual Doppler shift is estimated for the observed atomic transitions. The angular distribution for ground-state zirconium atoms shows clear deviations from the cosine dependence expected from linear cascade theory when sputtered by 1.5 keV Ar+ ions incident at 60° from the surface normal. The peaking of the distribution in the forward direction suggests that a significant fraction of the atoms is ejected by a direct mechanism.

    Notes: Electron-stimulated desorption of neutrals from methanol-dosed 6063 aluminum alloy has been monitored by laser ionization at 193 nm wavelength. Primary electron energies were in the range 1-3 keV. Time-of-flight spectra for the neutral desorbate were characterized by a low value of the peak velocity (250 m s-1) and a non-Boltzmann form of the distribution. Neutral desorption was ascribed to the parent methoxy (CH3O) species, based on mass spectrometry of the laser-ionization fragmentation pattern as a function of intensity. Ionic desorption was dominated by H+, which was observed to have kinetic energy peaked at ∼3 eV. Approximate estimates of neutral and ion yields were made, based on ion-optical modeling of apparatus transmission characteristics.
