    Notes: Summary Although insulin resistance and decreased insulin secretion are characteristic of established non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), which of these metabolic abnormalities is the primary determinant of NIDDM is still controversial. A disproportionate increase in the proinsulin to insulin ratio has been proposed as a marker of compromised insulin secretion. We examined the association of fasting immunoreactive insulin (which cross-reacts with proinsulin), specific insulin (which does not cross-react with proinsulin), total immunoreactive proinsulin (or insulin precursors), and the fasting proinsulin/specific insulin ratio to the risk of developing NIDDM in the 3.25-year follow-up of the Mexico City Diabetes Study. These measurements were made in 85 subjects who subsequently converted to NIDDM (prediabetic subjects) and in 85 age and gender matched subjects who remained non-diabetic at follow-up (control subjects). Immunoreactive insulin, proinsulin and the proinsulin/specific insulin ratio were significantly higher in prediabetic than in control subjects. However, the relation between specific insulin and the development of NIDDM was weaker than for proinsulin or immunoreactive insulin. After further adjustment for obesity, body fat distribution and glucose tolerance status, proinsulin and the proinsulin/specific insulin ratio, but not specific or immunoreactive insulin, predicted conversion to NIDDM. A high proinsulin/specific insulin ratio predicted conversion to NIDDM both in subjects with normal and those with impaired glucose tolerance at baseline. We conclude that in prediabetic subjects increased proinsulin, a marker of islet cell distress or compromised insulin secretion, is associated with rapid conversion (within 3.25 years) to NIDDM even in obese populations.

    Notes: The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an indispensable tool in metal forminganalysis [1,2]. Contrary to the traditional methods, FEM allows to analyze more realistic situations, eithergeometric and tensional. On the other hand, the drawing process is one of the most ancient metal formingoperations and, nowadays, this process is widely used in industrial field. However, the influence of themain parameters in the mechanics and efficiency of the process has been scarcely studied. Drawingprocesses have been analysed by FEM, assuming plane strain and axisymmetrical conditions in order tocheck the possibility of extrapolating results from one case to another. Besides, this numerical method iscompared with analytical and experimental methods. Also, FEM is used for studying the influence ofseveral technological parameters on variables such as the drawing force or the die pressure, and forobtaining results of stresses and strains in certain regions of the model

    Notes: Nuclear magnetic resonance experiments on the Larmor frequency dependence of the intrapair dipolar order relaxation time T1D showed the existence of discrepancies between the usual two-spin theory and the experimental data. Field-cycling experiments of T1D in methyl deuterated para azoxyanisole (PAA-d6) in the nematic phase [J. Chem. Phys. 110, 8155 (1999)] showed that the difference cannot be assigned to the common assumption of isolated spin pairs or to the neglecting of the alkyl chain protons in the theoretical interpretation. Though the applicability of the spin temperature and short correlation time assumptions have not been justified for nematic liquid crystals, they have been used in all the available theoretical approaches for dipolar order relaxation. In this work, we calculate T1D of PAA-d6 within the Redfield high-temperature theory of spin–lattice relaxation but avoid the usual assumptions of short correlation times and random phase. First, we find that this fact does not alter the expression for T1D in the simple case of an ensemble of isolated spin pairs. Then we take the four benzene protons as the spin system and find that this refinement gives no relevant contribution able to explain the discrepancies between theory and experiments. Also, we find that the random phase assumption becomes redundant in the calculation of T1D, whenever the relevant spin Hamiltonian is nondegenerate. Thus, in these cases the spin temperature hypothesis is justified in liquid crystals, where the spin system contains few spins. We conclude that the Redfield high-temperature relaxation theory fails to describe T1D in thermotropic liquid crystals, since it underestimates the prominent role of the slow cooperative motions. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The ultrafast nonradiative relaxation processes after photon excitation at 266 nm of Hg2 trapped in a cryogenic argon matrix are studied by molecular dynamics with quantum transitions. Fourteen electronic surfaces and their corresponding couplings are included in the simulations. The couplings between electronic states are modeled using a diatomics-in-molecules treatment of the mixing of the different states of Hg2 induced by the Ar atoms. While the initially excited electronic state is the D1u state, we observe that after 10 ps of dynamics most of the electronic population (90%) is in the A0g± states. The majority of nonadiabatic jumps take place in the first 2 ps of the dynamics and at large Hg–Hg nuclear distances close to the Franck–Condon region of excitation. These results confirm predictions from previous experimental steady-state spectroscopic studies. Finally, we also demonstrate the conservation of vibrational coherence of the Hg2 stretching mode during the first few picoseconds, despite several nonadiabatic crossing events during this time. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Present methods for quantitative X-ray phase analysis make extensive use of multilinear regression. Practical application of these methods compels workers to make a choice among many different sets of experimental conditions such as the number, identity and relative concentration of the phases in the synthetic mixtures used for the solution of the regression problem; the number and extent of the angular regions within which X-ray intensities are to be measured; and so on. There are as yet no general criteria for this selection, and classical statistical experimental methods, even such effective ones as SIMPLEX, are very time consuming. In the present work a Monte Carlo method is proposed for optimization of the reproducibility and detection limit for a completely general quantitative X-ray phase analysis. A system of three computer programs to this end is developed and applied to X-ray phase analysis of laterites, illustrating the choice of a set of performing conditions among 20 of them.

    Notes: The effect of granularity in powder X-ray diffraction is reviewed, and the shortcomings of previously developed models in explaining this effect are described. A new physical model encompassing all aspects of this phenomenon is proposed. Mathematical formulae based on the model are derived, and their limit cases are discussed. Values of the theoretical intensities from the model are compared with results from a specially designed experiment.
