    Notes: Plasma levels of cortisone, a steroid hormone of potential physiological significance in fish, have rarely been measured. This study examines the interrelationship between circulating levels of cortisone and the major teleost corticosteroid, cortisol, in the blood of two strains of rainbow trout subject to confinement stress, a condition know to stimulate corticosteroidogenic activity. In unstressed fish from both strains, mean plasma cortisol levels were within the range 0.4–7.5 ng ml−1. Mean plasma cortisone levels were within the range 7.1–15.9 ng ml−1. Plasma cortisol levels were elevated within 5 min of the onset of strees and reached peak values within 45 min, although there was a marked difference betweed the maxima observed in the two strains (strain 1:70 ng ml−1; strain 2:150 ng ml−1). The rate of increase of plasma cortisone levels during strees was more rapid than that of cortisol, maximum values (strain 1:100ng ml−1; strain 2:160 ng ml−1) being reached within 10 to 20 min of the onset of stress. This rapid stress-induced elevation of plasme cortisone has not previously been reported in fish. We suggest that rapid conversion of cortisol to cortisone during the initial response to stress accounts for the appearance of large amounts of cortisone in the blood, indicating that circulating for the appearance of large amounts of cortisone in the blood, indicating that circulating levels of cortisol alone do not fully reflect the secretory activity of the interregnal during the initial of cortisol alone do not fully the secretory activity of the interregnal during the initial phase of the stress response. The results also indicate that the rate of clearance of cortisone from the circulation may be a major factor in determining stress-stimulated levels of plasma cortisol.

    Notes: We have prepared Gd1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7−δ phase spread alloy thin films with well-defined variations in the concentration of Pr across a single substrate. Their Pr concentrations were independently determined from electrical resistivity and Auger electron spectroscopy measurements. The results from both methods are in good agreement with each other. Using this technique several high-temperature superconducting thin-film alloys may be grown under virtually identical conditions. As an example of an important application of this technique, we measured the changes in the films' resistivities and critical temperatures (Tc) induced by decreasing their oxygen concentration. The observed shifts in Tc of the oxygen-deficient samples appear to be slightly dependent on their Pr concentrations.

    Notes: Cluster ions from fast atom bombardment of liquid alcohols and nitriles were examined using a continuous-flow technique. Protonated molecular MnH+ species are the dominant cluster ions observed in molecules of formula M. The abundances of the MnH+ cluster ions decrease monotonically with increasing n, and within a homologous series the MnH+ abundance diminishes more rapidly for higher molecular mass compounds. Reaction products (ROH)n(H2O)H+ and (ROH)n(ROR)H+ are observed also in the case of alcohols, and the ion abundances decrease with increasing n. Radiation damage yields fragment ions and ionic alkyl reaction products which are captured in solvent clusters. Semi-empirical molecular orbital methods were used to examine the energetics of cluster ion formation and decomposition pathways. Metastable decomposition processes exhibit only evaporative loss of monomers, with the probability of loss increasing sharply with n. The evaporative ensemble model of Klots was used to predict the cluster size-dependent trends of metastable dissociation processes observed for alcohol and nitrile cluster ions.
