    Notes: Summary Patients with cholesterol gallstones referred to elective cholecystectomy were randomly assigned prior to operation to no treatment (n=14), treatment with one capsule t.d.s. (n=12) or two capsules t.d.s. (n=11) of a terpene mixture (Rowachol). Patients with pigment stones (n=7) or no biliary tract disease (n=5) were also studied. Lipid composition, presence of cholesterol monohydrate crystals, and nucleation time were determined in galbladder bile aspirated during surgery. Cholesterol saturation was similar in the different groups. Crystals were present in all cholesterol gallstone patients without treatment and in none of the controls. In one of the patients treated with one capsule and four of the patients treated with two capsules crystals could not be detected. The terpenes prolonged nucleation time from 2.8 to 5.8 days (one capsule;P〈0.05) and to 9.5 days (two capsules;P〈0.001), respectively; but nucleation did not occur in seven controls. Although the mechanism by which the terpene mixture inhibits the formation of cholesterol crystals in bile was not determined, the findings suggest that the terpene mixture might be a useful agent for a clinical trial to test whether they will prevent recurrence of gallstones after medical dissolution.

    Notes: We report the successful application of an optically pumped molecular beam laser for efficient and selective population transfer from v″=0 to high lying vibrational levels of Na2 in the electronic ground state. More than 50% of the molecules in a thermally populated rotational level of v″=0 can be transferred to a state v″(very-much-greater-than)1 with typically ≥75% of the molecules excited out of the initial state found in the predetermined end vibrational level and approximately ≤25% distributed over other levels according to the Franck–Condon factors. The applicability of this technique to the study of collision processes involving vibrationally highly excited levels is discussed. This work also contributes in general to a better understanding of optically pumped dimer lasers.

    Notes: Differential cross sections for rotational transitions in Na2–Ne, Ar collisions are measured up to very large Δj. It is shown that the energy dependent anisotropy ΔR(E) of the interaction potential can be determined from these data using simple classical relations of ΔR and the rainbow angle θR. Excellent agreement with ab initio data is demonstrated and underlines the usefulness of this concept.

    Notes: We report the resolution of supernumerary rotational rainbows for rotationally inelastic ji → jf=0 transitions in Na2–He, Ne, Ar scattering. The relation of the angular position of the supernumerary maxima and the anisotropy ΔR of the interaction potential is established. The analysis yields the energy dependent anisotropy ΔR(E) in very good agreement with data from other sources.
