    Notes: We have used polarized neutron reflection to determine the layer-dependent spin orientations in an antiferromagnetically coupled 100 A(ring) Cr/50 A(ring) Fe/15 A(ring) Cr/50 A(ring) Fe/Si sandwich structure prepared by sputtering. At low field, the net Fe layer magnetic moments align in an asymmetric canted orientation with a near zero total magnetic moment for the sample. At high fields, a canted state, nearly symmetric with respect to the applied field direction is observed and the magnetization in each layer does not reach the bulk saturation value until the layers are ferromagnetically aligned. The behavior is discussed in the context of current theories of exchange coupling. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 64) were used in this study to replicate in an animal model tissue change formed clinically during radiotherapy for the treatment of head and neck malignancy. Gamma irradiation was administered to both ears of each rat, using a cobalt-60 machine. A total dose of 30 Gy was administered, with 500 cGy/fraction given on 6 consecutive days to a time-dose fractionation value of 81. Animals were then sacrificed at sequential intervals. The tympanic bullae were removed and the mucosa was processed for scanning electron microscopy. Tissue findings indicated that irradiation might initially have no influence on the clearance activity of the middle ear. However, ultrastructural changes showed stagnation of secretion between cilia, falling off and different directions of the cilia, fused or collapsed cilia, and eustachian tube dysfunction (with mucosal edema). These findings possibly account for the occurrence of middle ear effusions in patients during and after radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy. It is our concept that insertion of a ventilation tube is necessary if abnormal mucociliary function appears, in order to clear and prevent the accumulation of any middle ear effusions and prevent further mucociliary dysfunction.

    Notes: Abstract  Genes cloned from diverse plants for resistance to different pathogens have sequence similarities in domains presumably involved in pathogen recognition and signal transduction in triggering the defense response. Primers based on the conserved regions of resistance genes often amplify multiple fragments that may not be separable in an agarose gel. We used denaturing polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to detect PCR products of plant genomic DNA amplified with primers based on conserved regions of resistance genes. Depending upon the primer pairs used, 30–130 bands were detected in wheat, rice, and barley. As high as 47%, 40%, and 27% of the polymorphic bands were detected in rice, barley, and wheat, respectively, and as high as 12.5% of the polymorphic bands were detected by certain primers in progeny from a cross of the wheat cultivars ‘Stephens’ and ‘Michigan Amber’. Using F6 recombinant inbred lines from the ‘Stephens’בMichigan Amber’ cross, we demonstrated that polymorphic bands amplified with primers based on leucine-rich repeats, nucleotide-binding sites and protein kinase genes, were inherited as single loci. Linkages between molecular markers and stripe rust resistance genes were detected. This technique provides a new way to develop molecular markers for assessing the genetic diversity of germplasm based upon potential candidate resistance genes in diverse species.

    Notes: Abstract Chaotic systems provide a simple means of generating deterministic signals that resemble white noise. It is this noise-like property that provides the potential for applying chaotic systems in communications. In this work, we report a detailed study of the logistic map for use as direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS/SS) codes. The advantages of the chaotic DS/SS codes are the almost unlimited number of distinct sequences of arbitrary lengths, the ease of generating these sequences, and the increased privacy afforded by the noise-like appearance of these sequences. Some design criteria are provided from the correlation properties of these sequences, and bit-error rate (BER) results are generated by Monte Carlo simulations.

    Notes: Abstract A fundamental problem in biochemistry and molecular biology is understanding the spatial structure of macromolecules and then analyzing their functions. In this study, the three-dimensional structure of a ribosome-inactivating protein luffin-α was predicted using a neural network method and molecular dynamics simulation. A feedforward neural network with the backpropagation learning algorithm were trained on model class of homologous proteins including trichosanthin andα-momorcharin. The distance constraints for the Cα atoms in the protein backbone were utilized to generate a folded crude conformation of luffin-α by model building and the steepest descent minimization approach. The crude conformation was refined by molecular dynamics techniques and a simulated annealing procedure. The interaction between luffin-α and its analogous substrate GAGA was also simulated to understand its action mechanism.

    Notes: Abstract High values of critical current density, Jc, in large-grain superconducting melt-processed YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO, Y-123) have been reported to correlate closely with the distribution of Y2BaCuO5 (Y-211) particles in the Y-123 phase matrix. Extensive image analysis of the homogeneity of the Y-211 particle distribution in a large-grain sample has been performed on high-resolution, secondary scanning electron micrographs of seeded melt-processed YBCO. The variation of key parameters, such as area fraction, number density and size along the a/b axis of the Y-123 grain has been investigated in detail as a function of distance from the centre of the seed. Both area fraction and number density of Y-211 particles are observed to increase continuously with distance, whereas the mean and standard deviation of the size distribution decrease slightly towards the grain boundary. This suggests that the increase in area fraction can be attributed to an increase in number density of the Y-211 particle distribution along the a/b axis of the specimen. The implications for Y-211 particle pushing, ripening and coalescence are discussed in the light of these results. © 1998 Chapman & Hall

    Notes: Abstract The availability of high quality SmBa2Cu3O6.5 seeds of known orientation is essential for the fabrication of a large grain YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) superconductor via a seeded peritectic solidification technique. The suitable seed must have a close lattice parameter match to YBCO and a relatively high melting temperature. We report a melt texturing process for the fabrication of SmBa2Cu3O7−δ (Sm-123) seeds using SrTiO3 to control grain nucleation. The physical and structural properties of the seeds were confirmed by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Seeds prepared in this study were used to grow large single grain YBCO superconductors of up to 2 cm in diameter.
