    Notes: Summary The aim of the study was to compare the sensitivity of short-wavelength and conventional automated static threshold perimetry for the psychophysical detection of abnormality in patients with clinically significant diabetic macular oedema. The sample comprised 24 patients with clinically significant diabetic macular oedema (mean age 59.75 years, range 45–75 years). One eye of each patient was selected. Exclusion criteria included the presence of lenticular opacity. The sensitivity of the macular visual field of each patient was determined with programme 10–2 of the Humphrey Field Analyser on two occasions, using both short-wavelength and conventional stimulus parameters; the results of the second session were analysed to minimise learning effects. A pointwise horizontal hemifield asymmetry analysis was derived for short-wavelength perimetry (thereby negating the influence of pre-receptoral absorption); the pointwise pattern deviation probability plot was analysed for conventional perimetry. Abnormality was defined as 3 or more contiguous stimulus locations with negative asymmetries (short-wavelength) or reduced sensitivity values (conventional) that resulted in a statistical probability level of p less than 0.05. The fields of 8 patients were abnormal as assessed by conventional perimetry while all were classified as abnormal using short-wavelength perimetry. In the 8 patients who exhibited both abnormal conventional and abnormal short-wavelength perimetry results, the extent of field loss was generally greater using short-wavelength perimetry. The position of the localised field loss (i. e. as distinct from field loss that was generalised across the visual field) assessed by short-wavelength perimetry corresponded with the clinical mapping of the area of diabetic macular oedema but the extent of this loss was generally greater than that suggested by clinical assessment. Short-wavelength automated perimetry offers improved sensitivity for the psychophysical detection of clinically significant diabetic macular oedema. [Diabetologia (1998) 41: 918–928]

    Notes: Abstract The sD gene of Aspergillus nidulans has been cloned by heterologous screening of rationally selected cosmids. Co-transformation of the sD50 mutant JMP1 confirmed the presence of a functional gene. Sequence analysis determined this gene to be 680 bp in length, containing a 59-bp intron and encoding a protein of 206 amino acids. A protein-sequence comparison revealed a similarity to the C-terminal region of ATP sulphurylase, the sC gene product. Further sequence comparison revealed differences in a consensus sequence ATP-binding motif, indicating non-functionality of the APS kinase-like domain of ATP sulphurylase, and confirms sD as the gene encoding APS kinase in A. nidulans.

    Notes: The method of computing the numerical values is given. It is illustrated with a simulated example to show the high accuracy that is possible, the unknowns being found to four significant figures. The only quantities required are ones that can be measured accurately: the radius of the spherical packing, its volumetric specific heat, and values of the amplitude attenuation and phase angle lag at a minimum of four finite values of the frequency.

    Notes: The response of a packed bed to a sine wave of temperature in a stream of fluid through it will depend upon the amount of dispersion in the resistance to transfer between fluid and solid, and the thermal properties of the soild. A method is presented that allows the effects of these three phenomena on the amplitude and phase angle to be unravelled and hence all their magnitudes to be computed simultaneously. It thus presents a way of determining these three quantities in situations where they were previously obtainable either with great uncertainty or not at all. The method requires measurements of the relative amplitudes and phase angles at three frequencies, and (preferably) at ω → 0 as well, all to be carried out with high accuracy.
