    Notes: Abstract Intellectual development, speech and school performance of preterm infants with birth weight appropriate for gestational age are reported in two separate investigations: a longitudinal study of 97 preterm children and 93 term children as a control group, and a cross-sectional study of 249 preterm children. Both preterm groups were regarded as high risk groups with respect to number of outborns, distribution of gestational age and perinatal risk factors. Intellectual outcome at 5 and 7 years of age in the majority of the preterm children was comparable to that of the term children. However, 8% of the preterm boys and 2% of the preterm girls achieved lower IQ scores than any of the term children. Between 15% and 17% of the preterm boys and 9%–12% of the preterm girls did not attend school at grade level, compared to 4% and 2% in the term group, respectively. Intellectual and neurological development and school performance were higher interrelated in the preterm than in the term children. Articulation defects, stuttering and dysgrammatism occurred more frequently in the preterm than in the term children and in boys more so than in girls.

    Notes: Abstract The development of fine motor and adaptive skills during the first 2 years of life is reported in 97 highrisk preterm children and 94 healthy term children. Most stages of fine motor and adaptive development were found to occur at slightly later ages among preterm children. Neurological development was significantly correlated with fine motor and adaptive development in preterm children only. No significant influence of prenatal, perinatal and postnatal variables on fine motor and adaptive development was noted. No significant sex differences were observed in both the term and preterm group. The strongest predictors of later intellectual functioning were fine motor performance at 9 months and fine motor and adaptive skills at 18 to 24 months.

    Notes: Abstract Neurological development in preterm children with birth weight appropriate for gestational age is reported in two separate groups: a longitudinal study of 97 preterm children and 93 term children as a control group and a cross-sectional study of 249 preterm children. Both preterm groups were regarded as high risk with respect to number of outborns, distribution of gestational age and perinatal risk factors. Neurological outcome at 5–6 years of age in the majority of the preterm children was comparable to that of the term children. However, 15% of boys and 9% of girls in the preterm group were diagnosed as having cerebral palsy. Mild diplegia was most frequently observed; 4% of the children were severely impaired. Fourteen percent of the preterm vs 2% of the term boys and 6–9% of the preterm vs none of the term girls received motor therapy during early school age. There was a small but consistent sex difference in neurological outcome in favour of the term and preterm girls. Effects of drop out rate and of incompleteness of ascertainment are reported in detail.

    Notes: A scattering theory of one-dimensional electron gas formed in a narrow channel GaAs-AlGaAs high electron mobility transistor has been developed. The mobility values for the different scattering mechanisms have been computed and their variation with temperature has been presented. The various scattering processes include acoustic phonon scattering for both deformation potential and piezoelectric scattering mechanisms, impurity scattering, and surface roughness scattering at lower temperatures and polar optic phonon scattering at higher temperatures. The effect of dynamic screening has also been included. Finally, the temperature variation of thermopower for different 1D electron concentrations has been shown and attempts have been made to interpret the results obtained.

    Notes: The low-temperature thermopower of two-dimensional electron gas has been calculated by using the expression obtained from the Boltzmann equation. The relevant scattering mechanisms are taken into account. It is found that the calculated thermopower increases almost linearly with temperature in the GaAs-AlGaAs and InGaAs-InP structures, but in all cases the results differ widely from the values given by the Mott formula and also from the experimental values. The results are not influenced by phonon scattering and are slightly affected if the impurity density is changed by the order of magnitude. For high-mobility samples, the experimental values are higher than the theoretical ones and it seems that phonon drag thermopower may account for the difference. For low-mobility samples, however, the experimental values are lower and in some cases decrease with temperature. The present model is then inadequate. Possible refinements of the theory are suggested.

    Notes: Abstract The longitudinal anthropological age changes in a sample of coastal fishermen in West Bengal are discussed. The results show that some traits follow the trends observed in ageing of Western populations, for instance nasal length and breadth continue to increase throughout life in both sexes. Stature follows also the trend generally observed: a decrease occurs indeed from 35 years of age in both sexes, the decline is becoming higher with increasing age. The typical ecological conditions of our population influence the rate of change in other traits, such as weight and biacromial diameter. Weight is known to be influenced by the nutritional status and the way of life. It explains that in our study of males an early increase of weight and biacromial diameter is observed first and a decrease afterwards. In females, however, a decrease is observed already from 35 years of age. This kind of analysis was only possible with the help of longitudinal data and in a well defined population: only longitudinal data is free from the effect of secular changes and of selective death.

    Notes: Abstract Blocking queueing networks are of much interest in performance analysis due to their realistic modeling capability. One important feature of such networks is that they may have deadlocks which can occur if the node capacities are not sufficiently large. A necessary and sufficient condition for the node capacities is presented such that the network is deadlock free. An algorithm is given for buffer allocation in blocking queueing networks such that no deadlocks will occur assuming that the network has the special structure called cacti-graph. Additional algorithm which takes linear time in the number of nodes, is presented to find cycles in cacti networks.

    Notes: Raw and partially delignified jute fibers were grafted with acrylonitrile and methyl meth-acrylate monomers, using the redox system of initiation with ceric ammonium sulfate. Grafting was also carried out in a mixed monomer system with acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate monomers in different proportions. The optimum grafting condition depends on the duration of grafting treatment and proportion of grafting monomers. The monomers entered the fiber matrix with high add-on and, at still higher graft add-ons, the ultimate fibers suffered disintegration. The surfaces were increasingly covered with grafted materials and longitudinal cracks developed on the fiber surface with higher add-on. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
