    Notes: The magneto-impedance (MI) of glass-coated Fe–Ni–Cu microwires was investigated for longitudinal radio-frequency (rf) currents up to a frequency of 200 MHz using a rf lock-in amplifier method. The MI, defined as ΔZ/Z=[Z(H)−Z(H=0.3 T)]/Z(H=0.3 T), displays a peak structure (negative MI) at zero field for rf currents with frequencies less than 20 MHz and this crosses over to a sharp dip (positive MI) at higher frequencies. This crossover behavior is ascribed to the skin-depth-limited response primarily governed by the field-dependence of the permeability. Large saturation fields (300 to 600 Oe) and other anomalies indicate the possible influence of giant magneto-resistance (GMR) on the MI. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Fe3O4 thin film prepared by pulsed laser deposition on Si (100) substrate has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy from plane and cross-sectional views. The thin film, which shows a spinel structure as characterized by selected-area diffraction, is about 180 nm thick with granular growth of particle size about 50 nm. High resolution electron microscopy observations indicate reduced thickness of the native SiO2 layer between the thin film and Si due to rastering of the substrate surface by an unfocused laser beam before the deposition. By using a 220 diffraction spot in two beam condition near the 〈001〉 axis of a single Fe3O4 grain, antiphase boundaries (APBs) inside the grains could be clearly resolved. The existence of APBs in the thin film is consistent with the magnetic experiments including an open hysteresis loop and unsaturated magnetization in relatively high magnetic fields. This study suggests that APBs are not unique to Fe3O4 films grown on MgO substrates. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3/La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (PZT/LSCO) heterostructures have been grown directly on (100)Si by chemical solution routes. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis show that PZT and LSCO thin films are polycrystalline and entirely perovskite phase. PZT thin films grown on LSCO thin films showed no preferential orientation and excellent ferroelectricity. The remnant polarization Pr is about 22.8 μC/cm2 and the coercive field Ec is about 95 kV/cm at an applied electric field of 400 kV/cm. The ferroelectric capacitor has been fabricated and showed no polarization fatigue after 3×109 fatigue cycles. The Pt/PZT/LSCO capacitor is suitable for nonvolatile random access memory application. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Highly (100) oriented Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3/LaNiO3 heterostructures have been grown on Si(100) using chemical solution routes. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 thin films are high (100) orientation (α100=0.92). Atomic force microscopy investigation shows that they have large grains about 80–200 nm. A Pt/Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3/LaNiO3 capacitor has been fabricated and showed excellent ferroelectricity, the remnant polarization and coercive field are 10.8 μC/cm2 and 96 kV/cm, respectively. The electric field dependence of capacitance measurement shows that the capacitor has large capacitance tuning ([Cmax−Cmin]/Cmax×100%) of 63%. The Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 thin films have high dielectric constant (cursive-epsilon) of 200 at 1 MHz. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A comprehensive theoretical model describing the amplification of picosecond optical pulses in midinfrared intersubband semiconductor optical amplifiers is developed, taking into account gain dispersion, short carrier relaxation time and ultrafast nonlinear refraction. It is shown that these factors are extremely important in determining the amplified optical pulse characteristics in both the time and frequency domains. The calculations also indicate that gain dispersion can be significantly enhanced by fast carrier relaxations, short pulse widths, and high pulse energies. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (TE) is involved in the biosynthetic fatty acid pathway of plants. Conventional canola lines transformed individually with the bay-TE (Uc FatB1), elm-TE (Ua FatB1), nutmeg-TE (Mf FatB1) or Cuphea-TE transgene (Ch FatB1), produce seed oil with modified fatty acid compositions. This study assessed the effects of genetic background, cytoplasm, maternal parent, and interaction of different TE transgenes, on the target fatty acids using F1 seeds and double haploid (DH) lines. The F1 seeds were produced by crossing four TE transgenic parental lines and three non-transgenic cultivars with distinct fatty acid compositions. The DH lines were developed from microspores of F1 plants. DH lines from different crosses showed that genetic background does not have an effect on the relative levels of the target fatty acids of the same TE, indicating the stability of the substrate specificity of the TE within canola. However, significant effects of genetic background on the content of the major target fatty acids, lauric acid (C12:0) or palmitic acid (C16:0) depending on the TE, were observed. Expression of the TE in low erucic acid (C22:1) genotypes resulted in higher target fatty acid levels than expression in high C22:1 genotypes. Reciprocal crosses showed maternal effects, but not cytoplasmic effects. In addition, co-expression of two different TE transgenes in the same seeds was observed. These results indicate the importance of selection for appropriate genetic backgrounds in order to maximize the expression of the target fatty acids of TE transgenes, and also indicate potential uses of TE co-expression in modifying canola seed oil.

    Notes: Quarantine regulations require domestic cherries exported to Japan be treated to control for codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). The current procedure, methyl bromide fumigation, uses a restricted chemical, reduces fruit quality, and involves health, safety and environmental concerns. Single and double hot water dips were evaluated using fresh ‘Bing’ and ‘Sweetheart’ sweet cherries from Washington state as a potential replacement. The double dip procedure had a pretreatment bath at 40C for 5 min. For both procedures, submersions in heated water from 48 to 55C for 2–14 min were examined for treatment efficacy against third-instar codling moth and fruit quality. Although a 100% mortality response was found for each temperature and procedure, the submersion durations significantly damaged fruit and stem parameters for both cultivars. Thus, hot water dips are not feasible for Pacific Northwest cherries at this time.

    Notes: Study I – The effect of fast (3.66 rad/s, FAST) or slow (0.35 rad/s, SLOW) isokinetic high-resistance muscle lengthening contractions on muscle fiber and whole muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) of the elbow flexors was investigated in young men. Twelve subjects (23.8±2.4 years, mean±SD) performed maximal resistive lengthening isokinetic exercise with both arms for 8 weeks (3 days/week), during which they trained one arm at a FAST velocity while the contralateral arm performed an equivalent number of contractions at a SLOW velocity. Before (PRE) and after (POST) the training, percutaneous muscle biopsies were taken from the mid-belly of the biceps brachii and analyzed for fiber type and CSA. Type I muscle fiber size increased PRE to POST (P〈0.05) in both FAST and SLOW arms. Type IIa and IIx muscle fiber CSA increased in both arms, but the increases were greater in the FAST vs the SLOW trained arm (P〈0.05). Elbow flexor CSA increased in FAST and SLOW arms, with the increase in the FAST arm showing a trend toward being greater (P=0.06). Maximum torque generating capacity also increased to a greater degree (P〈0.05) in the FAST arm, regardless of testing velocity. Study II – In a separate study, we attempted to provide some explanation of the greater hypertrophy observed in study I by examining an indicator of protein remodeling (Z-line streaming), which we hypothesized would be greater in the FAST condition. Nine men (21.7±2.4 years) performed an acute bout (N=30, 3 sets × 10 repetitions/set) of maximal lengthening contractions at FAST and SLOW velocities used in the training study. Biopsies revealed that FAST lengthening contractions resulted in more (185±17%; P〈0.01) Z-band streaming/mm(2) muscle, vs the SLOW arm. In conclusion, training using FAST (3.66 rad/s) lengthening contractions leads to greater hypertrophy and strength gains than SLOW (0.35 rad/s) lengthening contractions. The greater hypertrophy seen in the FAST trained arm (study I) may be related to a greater amount of protein remodeling (Z-band streaming; study II).

    Notes: : Krzywicki's equations have been widely used for estimating the relative proportions of myoglobin (Mb) redox forms in aqueous solution. However, these equations have generated negative values for some redox forms, and total Mb estimates obtained by summation of the individual redox forms have deviated from unity. The inappropriate selection of wavelengths (545, 565, and 572 nm) used to generate these equations appears to have been responsible for these problems. Therefore, Krzywicki's equations were modified by using wavelength maxima at 503, 557, and 582 nm, representative for metmyoglobin, deoxymyoglobin, and oxymyoglobin, respectively. Millimolar extinction coefficients at these wavelengths were calculated, and a set of modified equations was established for determining the relative proportions of Mb redox forms in aqueous solution. The new equations demonstrated improved performance in decreasing the occurrence and magnitude of negative values and in estimating total Mb, when compared with Krzywicki' original equations.

    Notes: : A study was conducted with a pilot-scale sterilization system based on 27-MHz radio frequency (RF) energy to investigate the effectiveness in shortening process time and in improving quality for foods sealed in 6-pound military-ration polymeric trays. Chemical marker M-1 was used to evaluate heating uniformity in 20% whey protein gels as a model food, and macaroni and cheese was processed to assess the influence of RF process on product quality. With the RF system, a lethality (F0= 10 min) was achieved in both model food and macaroni and cheese within 30 min with relative uniform heating, compared to a 90 min conventional retort process that delivered a similar lethality.
