    Notes: The result of an elastic neutron-scattering study of the phase transition in the random magnet with competing anisotropies Fe0.75Co0.25Br2 is reported. It was found that the ordering of the spin component parallel to the crystalline c axis at the transition from the paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase induces an ordering of the spin component perpendicular to it. Thus, there is no boundary separating the higher-temperature antiferromagnetic and lower-temperature mixed-ordering phase. This type of spin ordering is interpreted as arising from a coupling between the orthogonal spin components.

    Notes: Background Frequent infection in infancy and early childhood has been hypothesized to explain the low prevalence of asthma and other atopic disease among children in developing countries (the so-called ‘hygiene hypothesis’), but the low prevalence in Eastern Europe remains unexplained.Objective To test the hygiene hypothesis in the Republic of Belarus by examining the relationship between gastrointestinal (GI) and respiratory infection and two potentially atopic outcomes in the first 12 months of life: atopic eczema and recurrent wheeze.Methods We carried out two case–control studies nested within a large (n=17 046) randomized trial in Belarus, with cases defined as (1) first occurrence of atopic eczema (n=819) and (2) second episode of wheezing (n=112). Incidence density sampling was used to select four matched controls born within 1 month at the same hospital as the case. Exposure was defined as one or more episodes of GI or respiratory infection (examined separately) with onset 〉7 days before onset of the case's atopic outcome. Analyses controlled for family atopic history, duration of exclusive breastfeeding, sex, birth weight, maternal education, and (for recurrent wheeze) maternal smoking.Results For atopic eczema, prior GI infection occurred in 7.4% of cases vs. 6.0% of controls [adjusted OR=1.27 (0.94–1.72)] and prior respiratory infection in 35.2% vs. 32.6% [adjusted OR=1.14 (95% CI=0.94–1.37)]. For recurrent wheeze, prior GI infection occurred in 9.8% of cases vs. 7.4% of controls [adjusted OR=1.30 (0.60–2.82)].Conclusion Our results do not support the hypothesis that infection protects against atopic eczema or recurrent wheezing in the first 12 months of life.

    Notes: Estimates of seismic wave attenuation are strongly affected by scattering. Scattering is an important effect caused by interaction of seismic wavefields with inhomogeneities of hydrocarbon reservoirs, Earth's crust and mantle. In order to study the contribution of scattering to apparent attenuation we consider plane-wave propagation in acoustic 2-D and 3-D inhomogeneous media. Different attenuation estimates result depending on what wavefield function is being averaged during corresponding processing. By wave-theoretical analysis and high-order finite difference modelling in two dimensions we show that scattering attenuation estimates derived from the mean of amplitude spectra and from the mean logarithm of amplitude spectra depend on travel distance. For not too long travel distances, where the coherent part of the wavefield dominates, we give an analytical description of these estimates. In 2-D and 3-D the relations are established between the autocorrelation functions of velocity fluctuations of a random medium and the autocorrelation functions of amplitude and phase fluctuations on a receiver line perpendicular to the general propagation direction of an originally plane wave. For long distances, where the wavefield fluctuates strongly, we show that both mean logarithm of amplitude and logarithm of mean amplitude tend to constants. They differ approximately by a factor two in both scattering regimes. the scattering attenuation coefficient of the meanfield is not dependent on travel distance. We compared our theoretical results with numerical calculations and found excellent agreements. the concept presented clarifies the nature of seismic Q estimations in the presence of scattering and can help to yield statistical earth models from seismic data.

    Notes: I obtain the Born approximation for the scattered intensity I, the differential cross-sections σd, and the total scattering cross-sections σ of elastic wavefields scattered by a mass fractal, an object with a fractal surface and a fragment of a turbulent medium. The results for I and σd are valid for an arbitrary anisotropic random discrete or continuous inhomogeneity and they are in agreement with the well known results for discrete inclusions (Gubernatis, Domany & Krumhansl 1977b). For fractal inhomogeneities I show that: (1) for small angle scattering I∝ω4+ω(sin θ/2)n̈, where θ is a scattering angle and the constant n̈ depends linearly on the fractal dimension; (2) σ∝ω4+ω; (3) σ∝ω4+n̈ if n̈〉-2 and σ∝ω2 if n̈≤ -2; and (4) the Fourier transform of the correlation function of the wavefield Γ which is coherently radiated by white noise point sources distributed on fractal objects obeys [Γ] ∝ωσ. Applying the results for σd I show that the model of inhomogeneities with a fractal surface is in agreement with the fractal dimensions of some fault systems.

    Notes: Abstract: We have recently shown that soybean-derived serine protease inhibitors and soybean extracts alter skin pigmentation, suggesting that soymilk could be used as a natural alternative to skin lightening. The present studies were initiated to examine the possible effect of STI, BBI and soymilk on hair pigmentation. Interestingly, these agents were found to affect not only hair pigmentation, but also the rate of hair growth, the dimensions of the hair follicle and hair shaft, and the appearance of the hair. The studies presented here provide first evidence, at the morphological and histological level, that soymilk and the soybean-derived serine protease inhibitors could be used as effective agents for hair care and management. These agents could reduce the rate of hair growth, decrease hair shaft dimensions and alter the pattern of melanogenic gene expression.

    Notes: Abstract Stage-2 CoCl2-GIC approximates a two-dimensional easy-plane (XY) ferromagnet on a triangular lattice. It has been found in prior work to order in two steps, with the intermediate phase showing long-ranged ferromagnetic correlations within the intercalate plane, but no correlations between neighboring planes. We have probed the wave vector and temperature dependence of the static and dynamic spin correlations in detail, including measurements of the critical scattering, the quasielastic scattering from vortex diffusion and the spin wave excitations with and without an external magnetic field. Some of the predictions for a Kosterlitz-Thouless type transition are met in this compound, at least qualitatively, including an apparent jump in the spin stiffness at the critical point and the existence of a diffusive central peak in the scattering function possibly originating from vortex autocorrelations. However, there are some inconsistencies between our observations and recent analytical studies as well as Monte Carlo-molecular dynamics simulations of the vortex dynamics that prevent unambigous assignment of the upper critical temperature as a vortex-binding transition.

    Notes: Abstract Short-range order effects in amorphous polycondensates, including the technologically important bisphenol-A-polycarbonate, have been investigated by elastic diffuse neutron scattering with spin polarization analysis. Selectively deuterated samples of each polycondensate have been used in order to vary the scattering contrast and thereby emphasize different pair correlations. The technique of spin polarization analysis allowed a reliable separation of the coherent scattering and an intensity calibration on the basis of the incoherent scattering as an internal standard. Thus, (dσ/dΩ)coh has been measured directly by this method. The experimental results are compared to calculated cross-sections from computer-generated structures. Simulations have been performed with the “amorphous cell” method which models the static structure of the amorphous polymer in full chemical detail on the basis of a “random coil” conformation. The results of the simulations yield a fertily ground for the discussion of the measured cross-sections, though a direct comparison with the experiment is not always satisfactory. The observed discrepancies indicate a still insufficient structural relaxation of the simulated structures.
