    Notes: Abstract In this paper we study rigorously the random Ising model on a Cayley tree in the limit of infinite coordination numberz → 8. An iterative scheme is developed relating mean magnetizations and mean square magnetizations of successive shells far removed from the surface of the lattice. In this way we obtain local properties of the model in the (thermodynamic) limit of an infinite number of shells. When the coupling constants are independent Gaussian random variables the SK expressions emerge as stable fixed points of our scheme and provide a valid local mean-field theory of spin glasses in which negative local entropy (at low temperatures) while perfectly possible mathematically may still perhaps be physically undesirable. Finally we examine the TAP equations and show that if the average over bond disorder and the limitz → 8 are actually performed, one recovers our iterative scheme and hence the SK equations also in the thermodynamic limit.

    Notes: Abstract. Mammary involution after cessation of milk removal is associated with extensive loss of secretory epithelial cells. Ultrastructural changes and the appearance of oligonucleosomal DNA laddering in ethidium bromide-stained gels indicates that cell loss during involution occurs by apoptosis. In this study, a technique for nick end-labelling of genomic DNA with radiolabelled deoxynucleotide has been used to monitor the induction of programmed cell death in mice after litter removal at peak lactation. This technique proved more sensitive than conventional ethidium bromide staining, and results suggested that apoptosis was induced rapidly by milk stasis, before extensive tissue re-modelling had begun. Oligonucleosomal DNA laddering on agarose gels was detected within 24 h of milk stasis, and increased progressively for at least 4 days. Nick-end labelling also detected laddering before litter removal, suggesting that programmed cell death is a normal feature of the lactating tissue. The DNA end-labelling technique was also adapted for in situ visualisation of apoptotic cells in tissue sections. By this criterion, apoptotic cells were identified in both the secretory epithelium lining the alveoli of the gland and, increasingly with prolonged milk stasis, amongst those sloughed into the alveolar lumen. The results demonstrate the utility of these techniques for study of mammary cell death and suggest that, whilst apoptosis is rapidly induced by milk stasis, it is also a normal physiological event in the lactating mammary gland.

    Notes: Abstract The Ising model on a Cayley tree displays a peculiar (continuous order) phase transition with zero long-range order at all finite temperatures. When one studies expection values of spins far removed from the surface (which contains a finite fraction of the total number of spins in the thermodynamic limit), however, one obtains the so-called Bethe approximation. Here we study such a local description by setting up a simple recurrence relation for successive shell magnetizations far removed from the surface. In the ferromagnetic case the local magnetization is a fixed point of the iterative transformation, while in the antiferromagnetic case the fixed point bifurcates to a two-cycle of the transformation (for low temperatures and fields) giving rise to local sublattice magnetizations. In both cases, local thermodynamical properties are obtained by integration.

    Notes: Abstract An iterative scheme is developed for a renormalized effective nearest-neighbor couplingK r and effective field per siteK r for spins in therth shell of a Cayley tree with nearest neighborJ, and next nearest neighborJ′, interactions between Ising spins on the lattice. In addition to the expected paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases, we find an intermediate range ofJ'/J 〈 0 values whereX r, and Kr iterate to a continuous or quasicontinuous attractor in theX-K plane. In this range the local magnetization is mainly chaotic with oscillatory glasslike behavior. Embedded in the chaos, however, are regions of periodic and commensurate phases.

    Notes: Summary A peptide corresponding to residues 106–126 of the human prion protein (PrP) possesses the neurotoxic and amyloidogenic properties of the infectious form of the parental protein. This peptide is now identified as a ‘difficult sequence’ and synthesis using conventional manual Fmoc chemistry was unsuccessful with acylation terminating at a central core of hydrophobic amino acids. The use of tetramethylfluoroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as anti-aggregatory agents in the coupling steps improved the synthesis but still resulted in an incomplete peptide. The incorporation ofN-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl)protection at glycine residues 119 and 124 enabled synthesis of the full length peptide in low yield. Synthesis using Boc chemistry within situ neutralisation gave the full length peptide in high yield.

    Notes: Summary Modifications to secondary structure and fibril formation caused by multiple acetylHmb backbone amide protection of Alzheimer's disease Aβ(1–40) were investigated using circular dichroism spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Penta(acetylHmb) Aβ(1–40) was observed to have a reduced ability to form α-helix and β-sheet structures under the same solution conditions as the native peptide, with α-helical propensity being reduced more significantly than β-sheet propensity. Further, acetylHmb backbone protection was found to alter Aβ(1–40) interaction with SDS-micelles by preventing α-helix formation. Aβ fibril formation, a characteristic property of this peptide, was also not observed for penta(acetylHmb) Aβ(1–40).

    Notes: The 1,1,3-tris(diisopropylamino)diphosphirenium salt 1 reacts with lithium aluminium hydride leading to the P-hydrogeno-C-phosphinophosphaalkenes 2, which on treatment with a catalytic amount of BF3·OEt2 afford the 1,3-bis(diisopropylamino)-1H-diphosphirene 3. The corresponding η1-coordinated 1H-diphosphirene 6 can be prepared by treatment of 2 or 3 with one equivalent of [W(CO)5(thf)]. Alternatively, the diphosphirenium salt 1 reacts with an excess of [W(CO)5(thf)], affording the corresponding η1-coordinated diphosphirenium salt complex 4, which is converted into the P-hydrogenophosphaalkene complex 5 with lithium aluminium hydride. The dinuclear tungsten complexes 7 and 8 are obtained by treatment of the free 1H-diphosphirene 3 with two equivalents of [W(CO)5(thf)] or one equivalent of [W(CO)4(thf)2], respectively. Compound 6 reacts with two equivalents of hydrogen chloride, giving the 1-chloro-3-diisopropylamino-1H-diphosphirene 9, which can be subsequently converted into the 1-diisopropylamino-, 1-azido, or 1-phenyl-3-diisopropylamino-1H-diphosphirenes 6, 10 and 11 by nucleophilic substitution with diisopropylamine, azidotrimethylsilane or sodium tetraphenylborate, respectively. The [η2-(3-diisopropylaminodiphosphirenylium salt)·W(CO)5] complexes 12a-c can be prepared by reaction of 9 with silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, aluminium or gallium trichloride or, alternatively, by treatment of 6 with two equivalents of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Reaction of 12a with diisopropylamine, water, bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium chloride or tetrabutylammonium fluoride gives the corresponding 1H-diphosphirene complexes 6, 13, 9, or 14, respectively. Compound 12a also reacts with one or two equivalents of [W(CO)5(thf)], leading to the di- and tri-nuclear complexes 15and 16, respectively.
