    Notes: X-ray reflectivity measurements have been carried out on TiN/Ti/Si- and WSix/Si-deposited and -annealed structures. The results show that for the as-deposited samples there are periodic oscillations due to a well-defined interface roughness, while for the annealed samples the disappearance of the oscillations due to increase in surface and interface roughness of the formed silicide layers is observed. We demonstrate that the analysis of x-ray reflectivity measurements collected both in the specular and in the off-specular way, even for the samples with very high surface and interface roughness, allows the determination of structural parameters of the films and interfaces. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract  In unpolluted regions, where inorganic nitrogen (N) inputs from the atmosphere are minimal, such as remote locations in southern South America, litterfall dynamics and N use efficiency of tree species should be coupled to the internal N cycle of forest ecosystems. This hypothesis was examined in two evergreen temperate forests in southern Chile (42°30′S), a mixed broad-leaved forest (MBF) and a conifer forest (CF). Although these forests grow under the same climate and on the same parental material, they differ greatly in floristic structure and canopy dynamics (slower in the CF). In both forests, biomass, N flux, and C/N ratios of fine litterfall were measured monthly from May 1995 to March 1999. There was a continuous litter flux over the annual cycle in both forests, with a peak during autumn in the CF. In the MBF, litterfall decreased during spring. In both forests, the C/N ratios of litterfall varied over the annual cycle with a maximum in autumn. Annual litterfall biomass flux (Mean ± SD = 3.3 ± 0.5 vs 2.0 ± 0.5 Mg ha−1) and N return (34.8 ± 16 vs 9.1 ± 2.8 kg N ha−1) were higher in the MBF than in the CF. At the ecosystem level, litterfall C/N was lower in the MBF (mean C/N ratio = 60.1 ± 15, n = 3 years) suggesting decreased N use efficiency compared with CF (mean C/N ratio = 103 ± 19.6, n = 3 years). At the species level, subordinated (subcanopy) tree species in the MBF had significantly lower C/N ratios (〈50) of litterfall than the dominant trees in the CF and MBF (〉85). The litterfall C/N ratio and percentage N retranslocated were significantly correlated and were lower in the MBF. The higher net N mineralization in soils of the MBF is related to a lower N use efficiency at the ecosystem and species level.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to find whether nefazodone, effective in adult depression, might be similarly improve symptoms of adolescent depression. Secondary purpose was to relate platelet serotonin content to response, and to find if nefazodone's effect on platelet content was similar to that of the SSRIs. Method: 10 adolescents meeting DSMIV criteria for major depression received up to 400 mg of nefazodone for an eight week period. Response was assessed at baseline, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks by BDI and HDRS; platelet serotonin (5HT) content was obtained at baseline and final visit (for two dropouts, this was done at last visit, i.e., week 4). Results: In LOCF analysis, significant improvement was found in both HDRS (20.9 to 8.9, p = .01) and BDI (24.6 to 10.2, p = .01). Eight of nine patients with available data showed increases in platelet 5HT content (.02). In seven patients of eight completers with available data, there was a nonsignificant trend for patients with platelet 5HT baseline greater than 30 ng/108 platelets to show a greater change in HDRS than those with a baseline of less than 30 ng/108 platelets (p = .07). Conclusions: Further double-blind study of nefazodone in adolescent depression is indicated; nefazodone appears to increase platelet 5HT content.
