    Notes: Abstract Changes in hydrolytic, respiratory,catabolic and lipid biosynthetic activities depend at least in part on successional changes in the microfloral populations of allochthonous plant litter incubated in a semi-tropical estuary. Initial colonization is by populations which have a high content of muramic acid relative to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and which are progressively displaced by a microflora with a lower ratio of muramic acid to ATP. Scanning electron micrography of the plant-litter microflora shows a succession of forms, with an initial bacterial colonization and its progressive displacement by more complex forms. Estimates of the microbial mass and the rates of phospholipid synthesis suggest that the detrital microflora has a relatively slow growth rate compared to its growth potential.

    Notes: Abstract The prevalence of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide uptake by chemoorganotrophic bacteria has been investigated. Thirteen bacterial species were observed to sorb and concentrate (bioconcentratc)α-chlordane,β-chlordane, dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide, and lindane from aqueous systems. Bioconcentration, as expressed by the ratio of cellular insecticide in ng/mg (dry wt) to supernatant insecticide in ng/μl, ranged from 10 for lindane byEnterobacter aerogenes to a high of 55,900 forβ-chlordane byCaulobacter vibrioides var.limonus. Amounts of cellular chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides (CHI) detected and the bioconcentration ratios were observed to have the following order in magnitude:α- orβ-chlordane 〉 dieldrin 〉 heptachlor epoxide 〉 lindane. This decreasing order was the inverse of reported water solubilities for the CHI and the inverse relationship was mathematically defined. The CHI were not easily removed from cells by washing (desorbing) and desorption was directly proportional to insecticide water solubility. Uptake of the CHI was rapid, near-maximum amounts being sorbed within 15 min, and pH 7 appeared optimal for bioconcentration as examined over the range pH 6 to 8. Implications of this investigation are that bioconcentration of CHI by bacteria might serve as a means of introducing these toxic compounds into aquatic food chains and that the bioconcentration phenomenon might lend itself as a treatment procedure for the intentional removal of residual CHI from water supplies and wastewater.

    Notes: Abstract.  A simplified analogue to an Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor (ISFET) was tested in the presence of ions. The gate electrode in an ISFET is an aqueous solution, unlike in a Metal-Oxide Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) where the gate is a metal. A problem with the ISFET is that the insulating oxide between the silicon and the solution is slowly penetrated by various ions such as OH− or Na+ causing a change in the characteristics of the device. The application of thin alumina platelets and thin MoS2 films as a protective insulating layer, when deposited over the insulating silicon oxide, was tested against the penetration of ions. It is shown that there is a significant decrease in the ion penetration through to the silicon oxide layer, depending on the applied bias, when the oxide is covered with thin alumina or MoS2 layers. The effect of different ions and ion concentrations are presented. Suggestions for further improvement are made.

    Notes: Abstract.  A new process is developed to fabricate a highly sensitive and selective hydrogen sensor by depositing a partially crystalline and highly oriented film of MoS2 from its single layer suspension on an alumina substrate. When these films are promoted with some catalysts selected from Pt-group metals (Pt, Pd, Ru or any combination of these metals) they exhibit a high sensitivity and selectivity to hydrogen gas. Unlike other metal oxide sensors which are sensitive to many reducing and oxidizing gases and operate at a temperature of 350 °C or higher, this sensor is highly selective to hydrogen gas and its operating temperature is from 25 to 150 °C. The lower operating temperature enhances safety when dealing with hydrogen gas. The sensor response to hydrogen at 120 °C is linear in concentration from 30 to 104 ppm with a 10 to 30 second response time and a 45 to 90 second recovery time. Above 104 ppm the sensor is still linear but the slope of conductance versus hydrogen concentration changes.

    Notes: In this work we report the most recent high-temperature long-term reliability results ofthe 600 V/14 A, 4H-SiC vertical-channel junction field-effect transistors (VJFETs). Two groups (Aand B) devices were subjected to different thermal and electrical stresses. One device (Group A)reached 12,000 hours of continuous switching without a single failure. Four devices in Group Awere thermally stressed at 250 °C over 4,670 hours in air, for which standard deviation of thespecific on-resistance (RONSP) in linear region at gate bias (VGS) of 3 V were 〈 4.1% throughout theentire duration time. The off-state characteristics were evaluated by high temperature reverse bias(HTRB) tests. Three devices (Group A) were biased at 50% rated BVDS at 250 °C for 2,278 hours.A higher reverse bias at 80 % rated BVDS was then applied to 14 devices (group B) at 200 °C for1,000 hours. Variations of the leakage current were negligible throughout the entire HTRB test forall tested devices

    Notes: The movement of bacteria-laden waters percolating through fractured crystalline bedrock in mountainous terrain was examined to determine whether effluent originating from domestic waste disposal systems could contaminate shallow ground-water supplies. Inoculated waters were injected into holes and/or wells at two geologically different test sites (granitic, metamorphic) to evaluate the extent of microbial filtration in or along bedrock fractures. Microbiological examination of tracer waters, sampled both above and below the zone of saturation, was made.Field studies showed that the direction and rate of movement of contaminated ground waters were controlled largely by the anisotropic nature of the geologic stratum, particularly by the orientation of major bedrock fracture sets. Inoculated waters were found to be readily transported by the ground-water gradient into a downslope well. At one test site, a tracer bacterium traversed a horizontal distance of 94 feet in 24-30 hours. Continued bacteriological analysis of the contaminated well found the organism to be present for at least five days after inoculation of the upslope well.In the zone of aeration, bacteria-laden effluent was found to percolate in or along fractures with inadequate filtration prior to entering the ground water. Studies conducted in metamorphic rock demonstrated that while fecal-type bacteria decreased slightly during percolation through bedrock fractures, total bacterial densities were generally unchanged.From the hydrogeological and microbiological data obtained at both test sites, it can be concluded that moderate percolation rates and minimum distances between water wells and leachfield type waste disposal units are inadequate to protect potable ground-water supplies from contamination in mountainous terrain.
