    Notes: An analysis of structure and discrimination in simple chiral fluids is presented. The chiral molecules consist of a central carbon bonded to four distinct groups. Molecular-dynamics simulations have been performed on a one-component chiral fluid and on two racemic mixtures. For the racemates, discrimination, as measured by differences in pair distribution functions, is present but found to be small. Intermolecular pair interaction energies are found to be good predictors of the magnitude and the sign (mirror-image pairs favored) of the differences observed in site–site distribution functions. For the one-component fluid, the quality of structural predictions from the reference-interaction-site method and Chandler–Silbey–Ladanyi (CSL) integral equation theories, with the hypernetted chain (HNC) and Percus–Yevick closures, has been examined. These theories generally provide a qualitatively correct description of the site–site distributions. Extensions beyond the HNC level have been explored: Two-field-point bridge diagrams have been explicitly evaluated and included in the CSL theory. The inclusion of these diagrams significantly improves the quality of the integral equation theories. Since the CSL theory has not been used extensively, and bridge diagrams have been evaluated in only a few instances, a detailed analysis of their impact is presented. For racemic mixtures, diagram evaluation is shown to be crucial. Specifically, the differences in site–site distributions for sites on identical and mirror-image molecules are found to originate from bridge diagrams which involve interactions between four-site, or larger, clusters. Discrimination cannot be predicted from an integral equation theory which neglects these diagrams. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: This note describes an improved anodization apparatus that provides enhanced safety and efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale volume production. The improved anodization apparatus also provides increased electrolyte temperature control, and allows flexibility in the size and shape of the substrate. Overall, this equipment will find wide applications in the fabrication of template-based semiconductor nanostructures, porous silicon, and other devices that require electrochemical processing. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The magnetic, structural, and transport properties of the Heusler alloy Co2MnSi are reported for sputtered thin films and a single crystal. X-ray diffraction reveals a phase pure L21 structure for all films grown between 573 and 773 K. Films grown at 773 K display a four-fold decrease in the resistivity relative to those grown at lower temperatures and a corresponding 30% increase in the residual resistivity ratio (ρ300 K/ρ5 K). We show that the higher growth temperature results in lattice constants, room temperature resistivities, and magnetic properties that are comparable to that of the bulk single crystal. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A comprehensive acute toxicity trial was conducted using a static water system to study the toxic effect of ammonia on haematology and enzyme profiles of Cirrhinus mrigala H. The LC50 of total ammonia-nitrogen (TAN) was 11.8 mg L−1 TAN (1.029 mg L−1 NH3-N). The sub-lethal test revealed that with increasing concentration of TAN, the total erythrocyte counts were reduced in lower concentrations (1–4 mg L−1 TAN) followed by higher levels in fish exposed to higher concentrations (8–16 mg L−1 TAN). In contrast, the total leucocyte counts were opposite. With increasing concentration of TAN, haemoglobin and serum protein content were reduced, whereas the blood glucose level increased. As the concentration of ammonia increased, there was a reduction in acetylecholinesterase activity in the brain and liver; alkaline phosphatase activity in the serum, brain and gill; and acid phosphatase (ACP) activity in the gill. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase in the gill, liver, kidney and brain increased with increased concentration of ammonia. In addition, activities of ACP in the serum and brain, alanine aminotransferase in the serum, brain and gill, and aspartate aminotransferase in the serum, brain and gill were increased.

    Notes: Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes photosensitizers and light. Whereas PDT use in cancer treatment has been widely accepted, antimicrobial PDT (APDT) is still in its early stages of development. Objectives To study microbial killing in vitro using APDT. Methods We used a combination of methylene blue and visible light, and a range of microbial species representative of those encountered on the skin in health and disease. Using standard light intensity conditions (slide projector, 25 cm distance from target, 42 mW cm−2) and methylene blue dye at 100 µg mL−1, kill rates and subsequent D-values were determined against Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Corynebacterium minutissimum, Propionibacterium acnes and Candida albicans. Results D-values for these species were 72, 66, 48, 120, 30 and 660 s, respectively. The effects of light intensity on the killing of S. epidermidis showed the kill rate to be proportional to the light intensity. A high rate of cell kill was also obtained using natural sunlight. Conclusions Overall, these results indicate that APDT of the skin may represent a useful alternative to conventional antimicrobial treatment.

    Notes: Abstract. In this paper we present a novel template-based technology for the fabrication of large, periodic arrays of semiconductor nanostructures that is inexpensive, reliable, suitable for the fabrication of a variety of semiconductors, and is compatible with the standard CMOS process. The technique uses material growth on a preformed template formed by electrochemical etching (anodization) of a thin film of aluminum deposited on an arbitrary substrate. The template contains a periodic array of pores in which the nanostructure materials are synthesized. The nanostructure size and periodicity can be controlled by controlling the anodization conditions. We are currently using this fabrication technique to develop a variety of optoelectronic devices, brief descriptions of which are also presented.

    Notes: Abstract Structural defects were introduced into the potassium bromate (PB) lattice in the form of SO2− 4 and Cl− ions in the process of crystal growth. It was assumed that these doped crystals PB(Cl−) and PB(SO2− 4) are composed of a two phase system, one being the perfect PB lattice and the other distorted regions due to induced defects. Isothermal decomposition of doped and normal PB samples was carried out gasometrically between the temperature range 653–663 K. The α-t plots reveal that the process occurs through initial gas evolution, acceleratory and decay stages. It also confirmed that doping enhances the rate of the reaction, the effect being more pronounced in the case of PB(SO2− 4). The data are found to be well fitted to the Prout-Tompkins and Avrami-Erofe'ev mechanisms.

    Notes: Abstract. The relativistic coupled cluster theory is employed to calculate electric quadrupole (E2) transition probabilities among the doublet states of Mg II which are of interest in astrophysical problems. This is the first time a highly correlated fully ab initio method has been used to compute these quantities for this particular ion. The line strengths and transition probabilities of a number of different transitions are reported and compared with those available in the literature.
