    Notes: Abstract We examined the relation of RNA/DNA ratios to growth for three size groups of the tropical scallop Euvola ziczac maintained in suspended culture at 8, 21 and 34 m in depth in the Golfo de Cariaco, Venezuel. Various growth parameters indicated that production decreased with depth. This was more likely due to a decrease in seston quality with depth than to temperatures or seston abundance (which were similar at the various depths studied). The RNA/DNA ratio was correlated with the G-index of muscle growth for juveniles (r 2=0.55). A much weaker correlation was observed for the maturing scallops (r 2=0.18), probably because of the interaction between reproductive and somatic growth. In fully mature scallops, somatic growth was negligible and the RNA/DNA ratios appeared to be inversely related to the level of physiological stress of the scallops. Whereas RNA/DNA ratios are difficult to interpret for maturing E. ziczac, because an increased ratio can be due to either increased gonadal or somatic growth, they are useful in predicting growth in juveniles and physiological stress in fully mature scallops.

    Notes: This paper extends the previous kinetic model [Phys. Rev. A 38, 4721 (1988)] of probing objects in flowing magnetized plasmas by generalizing cross-field transport and adding ionization to the source in the Boltzmann equation along the presheath. Ion sheath current density and ratio (R) of upstream to downstream current are obtained as a function of normalized plasma drift velocity (M), equivalent viscosity ratio (α), ion temperature (Ti∞), and ionization rate (σi). The form R=exp(M/Mc) fits the results very well and the calibration factor (Mc) is obtained. Here Mc decreases as α increases, Ti∞ increases, or σi increases. Comparisons with fluid and kinetic models are presented.

    Notes: Plasma flow measurements in the presheath have been performed using two types of directional electric "Mach'' probes, in the PISCES facility at UCLA [J. Nucl. Mater. 121, 277 (1984)]. A fast scanning versatile probe combination has been developed, which operates simultaneously as a "magnetized'' Mach probe, an "unmagnetized'' Mach probe (with characteristic probe size greater than and smaller than ion gyroradius, respectively), and an emissive probe. Presheaths have been investigated by inserting a small object at the center of the plasma column. Variations in plasma flow velocity, density, and potential along the presheath have been deduced by fluid and kinetic theories. A comparison is made between Mach numbers obtained from the magnetized probe and the unmagnetized probe. Incorporation of shear viscosity of order ∼0.5nmiD⊥ in the cross-field transport along the presheath seems best to model the results. The cross-field diffusivity (D⊥) is found to scale approximately proportional to B−1/2, with magnitude about 4× larger than Bohm in the PISCES plasma. The effect of an electrical bias applied to the object on the presheath characteristics is discussed.

    Notes: We present a general description of white-beam (Laue) scattering from grains with dislocations. This approach is applied to examples with equal numbers of positive and negative Burger's vectors (paired) and with unpaired dislocations of one sign (geometrically necessary). We find that streaking of the Laue reflections is sensitive to both long-range geometrical rotations introduced by unpaired edge dislocations and to local rotation fluctuations introduced by the total number of dislocations (paired and unpaired). We demonstrate the technique by analyzing the dislocation distribution in a nanoindented Cu single crystal. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The acclimation rates of temperature changes in Cyprinodon dearborni, collected from Laguna Los Patos, Cumana, Venezuela, were determined by the critical thermal maximum method. At an increase in temperature (from 24 to 31°C) fish started to gain acclimation level after 3 hours and took 3 days to fully get up to a higher level of resistance to heat death; however, at a decrease in temperature (from 3 t to 24°C) fish began to lose its acclimation level after 12 days and required 39 days to reach a lower level of resistance to thermal death.

    Notes: Abstract Using the modified yeast expression vectors that contained phosphoglycerate kinase or chelatin promoter with the adenine (A) base at –3 position from the ATG coding sequences and the leu-2 gene, recombinant human inter-leukin-6 ( rhIL-6) was produced as a b-galactosidase ( lacZ) fusion protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Expression level of the IL-6-lacZ was 12 times higher than that from the unmodified wild type plasmids and IL-6 activity was 9–9.8 x 10 5 unit/mg yeast total protein. Thus these modified yeast vectors are useful for high expression of foreign genes in yeast

    Notes: This study presents the finite element analysis for the transient heat transfer problems by introducing the Fourth-dimension concept. Time is treated as an additional dimension in the solution domain thereby Increasing the number of dimensions by one. For instance, a three-dimensional transient problem can be considered as a four-dimensional problem in the x, y, z, t domain and a two-dimensional transient problem can be considered as a three-dimensional steady-state problem in the x, y, t domain, respectively. The variational principle of the finite element method and the techniques existing for steady-state problems can be directly utilized. Numerical calculations were performed for heat conduction problems, laminar-turbulent convective heat transfer problems, and radiative heat transfer problems.
