    Notes: Abstract  A repetitive DNA sequence, ZmCR2.6c, was isolated from maize based on centromeric sequence CCS1 of the wild grass Brachypodium sylvaticum. ZmCR2.6c is 309 bp in length and shares 65% homology to bases 421–721 of the sorghum centromeric sequence pSau3A9. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) localized ZmCR2.6c to the primary constrictions of pachytene bivalents and to the stretched regions of MI/AI chromosomes, indicating that ZmCR2.6c is an important part of the centromere. Based on measurements of chromosome lengths and the positions of FISH signals of several cells, a pachytene karyotype was constructed for maize inbred line KYS. The karyotype agrees well with those derived from traditional analyses. Four classes of tandemly repeated sequences were mapped to the karyotype by FISH. Repeats 180 bp long are present in cytologically detectable knobs on 5L, 6S, 6L, 7L, and 9S, as well as at the termini and in the interstitial regions of many chromosomes not reported previously. A most interesting finding is the presence of 180-bp repeats in the NOR-secondary constriction. TR-1 elements co-exist with 180-bp repeats in the knob on 6S and form alone a small cluster in 4L. 26S and 5S rRNA genes are located in the NOR and at 2L.88, respectively. The combination of chromosome length, centromere position, and distribution of the tandem repeats allows all chromosomes to be identified unambiguously. The results presented form an important basis for using FISH for physical mapping and for investigating genome organization in maize.

    Notes: Abstract  The J chain is a component of polymeric immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules and may play an important role in their polymerization and the transport of polymeric Ig across epithelial cells. In this study, the primary structure of the chicken J chain was determined by sequencing cDNA clones. The cDNA had an open reading frame of 476 nucleotides encoding a putative protein of 158 amino acid residues including the signal sequence. The 3′ untranslated region consisted of 1216 nucleotides and a poly(A) tail. The deduced amino acid sequence of the chicken J chain had a high degree of homology to that of human, cow, rabbit, mouse, frog, and earthworm, with eight conserved Cys residues identical to the mammalian J chains. Northern blot hybridization performed with total RNA from various chicken tissues revealed high levels of J-chain mRNA expression in spleen, intestine, Harderian gland, and bursa of Fabricius, and low levels in the thymus. The J chain was expressed in the bursa as early as day 15 of embryogenesis. These data indicated that the chicken J-chain gene displays a high degree of homology with that of other species, and is expressed at an early stage of development of the chicken immune system.

    Notes: We show that the method of splitting the operator eε(T+V) to fourth order with purely positive coefficients produces excellent algorithms for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. These algorithms require knowing the potential and the gradient of the potential. One fourth order algorithm only requires four fast Fourier transformations per iteration. In a one dimensional scattering problem, the fourth order error coefficients of these new algorithms are roughly 500 times smaller than fourth order algorithms with negative coefficient, such as those based on the traditional Forest–Ruth symplectic integrator. These algorithms can produce converged results of conventional second or fourth order algorithms using time steps 5 to 10 times as large. Iterating these positive coefficient algorithms to sixth order also produced better converged algorithms than iterating the Forest–Ruth algorithm to sixth order or using Yoshida's sixth order algorithm A directly. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We show that the method of factorizing the evolution operator to fourth order with purely positive coefficients, in conjunction with Suzuki's method of implementing time-ordering of operators, produces a new class of powerful algorithms for solving the Schrödinger equation with time-dependent potentials. When applied to the Walker–Preston model of a diatomic molecule in a strong laser field, these algorithms can have fourth order error coefficients that are three orders of magnitude smaller than the Forest–Ruth algorithm using the same number of fast Fourier transforms. Compared to the second order split-operator method, some of these algorithms can achieve comparable convergent accuracy at step sizes 50 times as large. Morever, we show that these algorithms belong to a one-parameter family of algorithms, and that the parameter can be further optimized for specific applications. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Infrared spectra of CH stretches have been investigated on the surfaces of synthetic diamond crystallites (5, 100, and 700 nm in diameter) to provide insights into the mid-infrared emission bands of stardusts in interstellar media. While the spectrum of 5-nm diamonds fails to display the distinct 2835 cm−1 (or 3.53 μm) band, a remarkably good match of the absorption bands of larger diamond grains with the emission observed for the stars Elias 1 and HD 97048 is obtained. Suggested by this study, the nanodiamonds that can display such characteristic emission bands at 3.53 μm in these two interstellar systems have a size significantly larger than 5 nm. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Lard was fractionated into olein and stearine, and lard olein was further refined. The effects of fractionation and refining of lard on the removal of cholesterol by β- cyclodextrin (β-CD) were investigated. The cholesterol in refined lard was more easily removed by β-CD; more than 90% of cholesterol in bleached lard was effectively removed by stirring with 4%β-CD. The oxidative stability of lard was increased after bleaching. Fractionation not only reduced the cholesterol content but also the saturated fatty acids in lard. Considering the cholesterol removal efficacy and lard quality, the optimal step for cholesterol removal in lard by β-CD is between bleaching and deodorization.

    Notes: : Lactoferrin (LF) in colostral whey was isolated by anti-LF immunoglobulin in yolk (IgY)-Sepharose 4B immunoaffinity chromatography, and parameters such as binding capacity (qm) and dissociation constant (Kd, × 10−6 M) of this immunoaffinity gel for LF were discussed. Purification folds for colostral whey I (from colostrum collected within 6 d of postpartum) and colostral whey II (from colostrum collected within 1 d of postpartum) by anti-LF IgY-immunoaffinity chromatography were 135.80 and 103.60, respectively. The recovery for LF in the same colostral whey sample by anti-LF IgY-immunoaffinity chromatography was 82 to 99 %. qm of anti-LF IgY-immunoaffinity gel for LF in colostral whey I and whey II were 0.372 and 0.272 mg LF/mL wet gel, respectively. Kd of anti-LF IgY-immunoaffinity gel for LF in colostral whey I was 1.594 × 10−6 M and II was 1.587 × 10−6 M.

    Notes: D and z values and some thermodynamic parameters of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (0.15 M NaCl/0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0) and colostral whey, with or without the presence of thermal protectants, were calculated in model systems. The D and z values for separated IgG in PBS were much lower than those for separated IgG in 20% glycerol, whey, and whey with 20% glycerol. IgG in colostral whey showed larger D and z values with the protectants. The heat denaturing rate constants at 70-82°C for separated IgG in PBS were larger than those of IgG in colostral whey; and the energies of activation for separated IgG in PBS, 0.2% glutamic acid, 10% whole milk, 20% maltose and 20% glycerol were also larger.

    Notes: Two neural network approaches — a moving-window and hybrid neural network — which combine neural network with polynomial regression models, were used for modeling F(t) and Qv(t) dynamic functions under constant retort temperature processing. The dynamic functions involved six variables: retort temperature (116–132C), thermal diffusivity (1.5–2.3 × 10−7m2/s), can radius (40–61 mm), can height (40–61 mm), and quality kinetic parameters z (15–39C) and D (150–250 min). A computer simulation designed for process calculations of food thermal processing systems was used to provide the fundamental data for training and generalization of ANN models. Training data and testing data were constructed by both second order central composite design and orthogonal array, respectively. The optimal configurations of ANN models were obtained by varying the number of hidden layers, number of neurons in hidden layer and learning runs, and a combination of learning rules and transfer function. Results demonstrated that both neural network models well described the F(t) and Qv(t) dynamic functions, but moving-window network had better modeling performance than the hybrid ANN models. By comparison of the configuration parameters, moving-window ANN models required more neurons in the hidden layer and more learning runs for training than the hybrid ANN models.
