    Notes: The hydrogenation–disproportionation–desorption–recombination process is known as a novel method for producing permanent magnets. The hydrogen driven reactions involved in this process are carefully studied here using Mössbauer effect, x-ray diffraction and scanning microscopy, in the Nd13.67Co15.74Al0.77Ga0.27Zr0.03Fe62.2B7.33 alloy. The temperature dependence of the hydrogenation disproportionation in the 119 kPa isochore line was obtained. Hydrogen absorption seems to occur in two steps: absorption from Nd at the grain boundaries followed by absorption from the Nd2Fe14B type phase. In order to determine the recombination kinetics, a typical mass of the alloy was submitted to disproportionation reaction at 800 °C under a hydrogen pressure of 119 kPa, followed by recombination, which was achieved by vacuum desorption at 800 °C and subsequent quenching to room temperature after various time intervals. It was found that the relative fraction of the Nd2(Fe,Co)14B phase, as obtained from the Mössbauer effect, increases as f=1−exp(−ktn) with n=0.99±0.05. From this growing law it is inferred that recombination occurs without long range diffusion and starts at the grain boundaries with zero nucleation rate. An activation energy of 0.64±0.13 eV/atom was obtained for this process. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The trophic role of snappers was evaluated on the continental shelves of the south-western Gulf of Mexico and the Yucatan in the south-eastern Gulf of Mexico. Mass-balanced, steady-state trophic models of the two ecosystems were constructed with Ecopath and perturbations were simulated in the ecosystems with Ecosim by increasing fishing mortality. Impacts were measured by changes in biomass of snappers and other groups, and in some indices of stability: persistence, recovery time and resilience. The snapper populations differed between ecosystems. The western Gulf of Mexico system appeared more complex and more stable than the Continental Shelf of Yucatan. Although overall stability indices between ecosystem suggested a similar structure and function, there were clear differences at a group level. Correlation of stability attributes between groups suggested differences in the role of snappers between the ecosystems suggesting that each stock should be managed individually.

    Notes: The food web in Terminos Lagoon, south-western Gulf of Mexico was dominated by the detrital pathway, with benthic invertebrates playing a significant role in transferring energy from detritus to higher trophic levels. The fish yield per unit of net primary production was only 0.04%. Fractional trophic levels ranged from 1.0 to 3.31, with fish occupying the highest trophic levels. Using network analysis, the system network was mapped into a linear food chain and five discrete trophic levels were found with a mean trophic transfer efficiency of 7%. Analysis of mixed trophic impacts showed that fish had very little impact on the other compartments, due to their relatively low biomass and consumption, with exception of the Engraulidae. Detritus and lower trophic levels had significant positive impacts on other groups in the system, suggesting ‘bottom-up’ control of the food web. A high detritivory: herbivory ratio (4.6: 1) indicated that most of the primary production was recycled through the detritus-based food web. A Finn cycling index of 7% and average path length of 10 were obtained.

    Notes: Abstract The Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) is a high performance 10-m class telescope whose construction has been promoted by the IAC (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias). It will be installed at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM), in the island of La Palma. First light is planned for end-2002. The key science drivers for the project are image quality, operational efficiency and reliability, as emphasized in the Conceptual Design Document which was finished in mid-97. The Preliminary Design is now proceeding on all aspects of the project. The GTC Project is presently funded at the 70% level by Spain. The scientific drives behind the GTC project are described here, as well as the current technical, managerial, and operational baseline.

    Notes: 2 (001) epitaxial thin films deposited on Si(001) with yttria-stabilized zirconia buffers have been obtained for the first time at room temperature by pulsed-laser deposition. The influence of oxygen pressure on the crystal quality of CeO2 was studied for the films deposited at 100 °C. The rocking curve full width at half maximum of the CeO2(002) peak for films deposited at room temperature and 100 °C was between 1° and 2°, for oxygen pressures below 3×10-2 mbar. The best crystal quality was obtained at around 3×10-3 mbar. Epitaxial growth at room temperature was confirmed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed very smooth surfaces for oxygen pressure below 3×10-2 mbar, with rms roughness values around 0.3 nm over 5 μm×5 μm.

    Notes: Abstract. We consider the following problems: Let $(S, +)$ be a (not necessarily commutative) semigroup and let $\rho : S \to {\Bbb R}$ be a given “control” functional (which is not assumed to be sub-additive). Assume that $F : S \to {\Bbb R}$ is a “nearly additive” mapping in either of the following ways: (1) $|F(x + y) - F(x) - F(y)| \le \rho(x) + \rho(y) - \rho(x + y)$ holds for all $x, y \in S$ . (2) $\Bigl|\sum^n_{i = 1} F(x_i) - \sum^m_{j = 1} F(y_j)\Bigr| \le \sum^n_{i = 1} \rho(x_i) + \sum^m_{j = 1} \rho(y_j) $ holds for all n and m whenever $x_i$ and $y_j$ are elements of S such that $\sum^n_{i = 1} x_i = \sum^m_{j = 1} y_j$ . Must F be “near” to an additive mapping $A : S \to {\Bbb R}$ in the sense that (3) $|F(x) - A(x)| \le K\rho (x)$ for some K and all $x \in S$ ? We prove Theorem. Let $(S, +)$ be a semigroup and let K be a fixed number. The following statements are equivalent: (a) For every ρ and every F satisfying (1) there is an additive A fulfilling (3). (b) For every ρ and every F satisfying (2) there is an additive A fulfilling (3). Moreover, for K = 1 both (a) and (b) are equivalent to (c) For every $\alpha, \beta : S \to {\Bbb R}$ such that α is superadditive (i.e., $\alpha(x + y) \ge \alpha(x) + \alpha(y))$ , β is subadditive and $\alpha \le \beta$ , there exists an additive A separating α from β (that is, satisfying $a(x) \le A(x) \le \beta (x))$ . Combining this theorem with previous results of Ger and Gajda and Kominek we obtain that every weakly commutative group satisfies (b) for K = 1 and every amenable group satisfies (b) for K = 2, which gives a partial answer to a problem suggested by Forti, improving results by Šemrl and Castillo and the present author. We close the paper with some remarks about vector-valued mappings and the connections between “nearly additive” mappings and the theory of extensions of Banach spaces.

    Notes: Abstract In the current study, 12 Spanish families affected by type-I Usher syndrome, that was previously linked to chromosome 11q, were screened for the presence of mutations in the N-terminal coding portion of the motor domain of the myosin VIIA gene by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of the first 14 exons. A mutation (Ala397Asp) segregating with the disease was identified, and several polymorphisms were also detected. It is presumed that the other USH1B mutations in these families could be located in the unscreened regions of the gene.

    Notes: Abstract. The location of hydatid cysts inside pulmonary arteries has been reported only on rare occasions in the literature and is caused, in the majority of cases, by embolization due to the rupture of hydatid cysts located in the heart; more rarely, hematogenous dissemination from a hepatic focus is the cause. We report a case of a 44-year-old patient with hydatid cysts located in both the right and left pulmonary arteries, whose first clinical reference was hemoptysis. The patient had undergone surgery because of a hepatic hydatid cyst 5 months previously. The importance of this case lies in the infrequent bilateral location in both pulmonary arteries and in the absence of intracardiac hydatid cysts.
