    Notes: Summary The acute haemodynamic effects of the beta-adrenoreceptor agonist, prenalterol, were studied in six patients with chronic end-stage renal failure. Prenalterol 0.8 mg, 1.6 mg, and 3.2 mg was administered i.v. as a bolus, and after the last dose the selective adrenergic beta-1-receptor antagonist metoprolol was administered i.v. in doses of 5 and 10 mg. The haemodynamic effects of the drugs were investigated using impedance cardiography and radionuclide angiocardiography. The main haemodynamic effects were a dose-related chronotropic effect, demonstrated by an increase in heart rate (26%; 〈0.05), and an inotropic effect, shown by an increase in stroke volume index (20%;p〈0.05) and left ventricular ejection time (12%;p〈0.05); the cardiac index was increased by 47% (p〈0.05). Transmural myocardial perfusion (DPTI/SPTI ratio) was decreased by 22% (p〈0.05) after prenalterol. It is concluded that prenalterol has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects in patients with chronic renal failure, that the improvement in left ventricular performance is at the expense of a decreased transmural myocardial perfusion, and that metoprolol is a specific antidote.

    Notes: Afforestation of sandy arable soils in northern Europe is likely to lead to an increase in the soil's acidity and changes in the behaviour of the organic matter, and this might affect the ability of the soil to retain heavy metals. It is important to assess the impact of such a change in the land use on the solubility of the heavy metals and to assess the risk of leaching to surface- and groundwater and the possible entrapment of heavy metals in the tree canopy. The impact of afforestation was assessed by excavating soil profiles in adjacent 34-year-old Norway spruce stands and arable plots at four different sites. We found that after 34 years the pH had decreased and cations were depleted in the topsoil under forest. The aqua regia-extractable heavy metals were determined, and the heavy metal binding within the soil was assessed using a modified version of the BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) sequential extraction procedure. Higher contents of heavy metal were found in the arable plots in the loamy sand soils. Cadmium was found only in the most mobile fractions. The content of Pb in the subsoil was strongly correlated with the clay content, but not in the topsoil, which suggested that Pb had been added to the topsoil. We found strong correlations between the clay content and the Cu, Ni and Zn in the residual fraction, leading us to conclude that much of the Cu, Ni and Zn is of geological origin. No significant differences in the heavy metal fractionation between forest and arable soil were found, presumably because 34 years of different land use is not long enough to produce such differences.

    Notes: Two different methods for the construction of an approximation to bicubic splines for interpolating irregularly spaced two-dimensional data are described. These are referred to as the least squares line (LSL) and linear segment (LINSEG) construction procedures.A quantitative test is devised for investigating the absolute accuracy and efficiency of the two spline interpolation procedures. The test involves (i) laying of artificial flight lines on the analytically known field of a model, (ii) interpolation of field values along the flight lines and their subtraction from the original field values to compute the residuals. This test is applied on fields due to four models (three prism models and one dyke model) placed at different depths below the flight lines, and for each case the error estimates (the mean error, the maximum error and the standard deviation) are tabulated.An analysis of the error estimates shows in all cases the LSL interpolation to be more accurate than the LINSEG, although the latter is about 50% faster in computer time. The relative accuracy and efficiency of the LSL interpolation is also tested against a recent method based on harmonization procedure, which shows the latter to be more precise, though much slower in speed.

    Notes: The interface structure of bonded Si(001) wafers with twist angle 6.5 ° is studied as a function of annealing temperature. An ordered structure is observed in x-ray diffraction by monitoring a satellite reflection due to the periodic modulation near the interface, which results from the formation of a regular array of screw dislocations. This satellite reflection first appears at an annealing temperature of 800 °C, and increases abruptly up to temperatures of 1000 °C. We propose that this transition occurs when there is sufficient mobility for the reorganization of atomic steps and terraces in the interface region. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Summary Injection of liquid manure (slurry) into the soil is an alternative to the traditional surface application. By the injection method, it is possible to place nutrients closer to the crop sown, thus offering the crop a competitive advantage over weeds. This study compares the response in crop yield, weed density and weed biomass to injection vs. surface application of liquid manure through three growing seasons in barley and oats. The manure applications were combined with treatments of weed harrowing or herbicide spraying or no treatment at all. The levels of weed control and crop yield obtained by harrowing and herbicides were larger when slurry was injected compared with surface application. Without any weed control treatments, the injection method decreased the final weed biomass in barley. The influence of nutrient injection on yield and weed control seemed to be modulated by the time of emergence and the early growth rate of the crop relative to weeds. Thus, because of its early root growth and development, barley responded more quickly to the injection treatment than oats. Consequently, barley became a more competitive crop.

    Notes: Soil organic carbon (SOC) pools in forest floors and mineral soil to a depth of 100 cm were determined in 234 well-drained Nordic forest soils from latitude 55–68???°-N, and longitude 6–28???°-E. The data were compiled in a database of Nordic forest soils, from literature, and sources of validated data the authors had access to. The SOC pool increased with both mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP), and the increase with MAT was more pronounced for coarse-textured soils than for medium-textured soils. Soil organic carbon in fine-textured soils was not correlated with MAT and MAP. Differences between texture classes were mainly due to different carbon stores in the upper 40 cm of the mineral soil and in the forest floor. The emphasis on well-drained soils eliminated the impact of hampered decomposition in hydromorphic soils. Large carbon accumulation in such soils probably explains the negative relationship between SOC and temperature reported in other studies. The increase in SOC with temperature and precipitation is interpreted as an indirect effect of higher net primary production.
