    Notes: Amorphous rare-earth transition metal alloys of composition (Gd1−xFex)1−yAuy with x=0.74, 0.77, and 0≤y≤0.40 were prepared by evaporation onto rotating glass substrates. The magnetic and magneto-optic properties have been investigated in the temperature range 4.2≤T≤TC revealing a decrease of the compensation and Curie temperature, the uniaxial anisotropy, and the Faraday and Kerr rotation with increasing gold content. The temperature behavior can be interpreted in terms of a mean-field analysis indicating a pronounced influence of the gold on the iron moment and the exchange constants. The temperature dependence of the Faraday rotation can be described in terms of the sublattice magnetizations inferred from the fit of the mean-field theory to the measured saturation magnetization.

    Notes: GdTbCo films were rf diode sputtered from a composite target varying the argon pressure PAr and the substrate bias voltage Vb. Both the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy constant Ku and the aging behavior of the films depend strongly on the preparation parameters. The absolute maximum of Ku was obtained at Vb=−150 V. However, at this bias voltage nearly the highest oxidation rate of unprotected 100-nm-thick films was observed. Films of highest stability are obtained without any bias voltage. The oxidation rate is correlated with the Ar concentration in the films. It was argued recently that the anisotropy of sputtered films could depend on argon incorporation. Our results seem to rule out this mechanism since GdTbCo films prepared at zero bias show a relative Ku maximum in dependence on PAr where the argon concentration is near its absolute minimum. The magneto-optic Kerr rotation θK of the films can only be correlated with the Co concentration for zero bias films. Some additional variation depending on the bias voltage has been observed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In experiments on mice the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism) of orally administered caffeine (18 mg/kg) using14C caffeine as marker and the influence of simultaneously applied ethanol (1,8 g/kg) was tested. The following results were obtained: 1. Caffeine was very quickly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract of mice. Addition of ethanol had no noticeable influence on the absorption of caffeine. 2. The elimination of caffeine from the serum and tissues examined (liver, kidney, brain, muscle) showed an exponential course with a half life of 40–60 minutes and was completed after 4 to 5 hours. 3. By giving ethanol the elimination of caffeine was significantly decreased and its half life increased to 160–240 minutes. 4. The caffeine metabolites reached their maximal concentration in serum and tissues examined within two hours. In the liver and kidney the concentration of caffeine metabolites was greater than in the serum, whereas they were lower in the brain and muscle. At the end of the experiment the concentration of caffeine metabolites reached only very low values. 5. After administration of ethanol the caffeine metabolites were significantly decreased from the 30th to 180th minute in the liver and kidney; they were only slightly lowered in the serum and almost unchanged in the muscle and brain. The results of these experiments suggest that ethanol inhibits the metabolism of caffeine in the liver, especially by influencing its demethylation to other dimethyl- and monomethylxanthines and probably also its oxidation to methyluric acids.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In Untersuchungen an Mäusen wurde die Pharmakokinetik (Resorption, Verteilung, Stoffwechsel) von oral verabreichtem Coffein (18 mg/kg) unter Verwendung von14C-Coffein als Marker und der Einfluß von gleichzeitig gegebenem Äthanol (1,8 g/kg) untersucht. Dabei wurden die folgenden Ergebnisse erhalten: 1. Coffein wurde sehr schnell vom Gastrointestinaltrakt der Maus resorbiert. Eine Zugabe von Äthanol hatte keinen nennenswerten Einfluß auf die Resorption von Coffein. 2. Die Elimination von Coffein aus dem Serum und den untersuchten Geweben (Leber, Niere, Gehirn, Muskel) zeigte einen exponentiellen Verlauf mit einer Halbwertszeit von 40 bis 60 Minuten und war nach 4 bis 5 Stunden beendet. 3. Durch Alkoholgabe wurde die Elimination von Coffein signifikant vermindert, und seine Halbwertszeit stieg auf 160 bis 240 Minuten. 4. Die Coffeinmetaboliten erreichten ihre Maximalkonzentration im Serum und den untersuchten Geweben im Verlauf von 2 Stunden. In der Leber und der Niere war die Konzentration der Coffeinmetaboliten größer als im Serum, in Gehirn und Muskel dagegen niedriger. Bei Versuchsende erreichten die Coffeinmetaboliten nur noch eine sehr geringe Konzentration. 5. Nach Verabreichung von Äthanol waren die Coffeinmetaboliten von der 30. bis 180. Minute in der Leber und der Niere signifikant vermindert, im Serum dagegen nur sehr leicht herabgesetzt und im Muskel und Gehirn nahezu unverändert. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen wird vermutet, daß Äthanol den Stoffwechsel von Coffein in der Leber zu hemmen vermag, und zwar durch Beeinflussung hauptsächlich seiner Demethylierung zu anderen Dimethyl- und Monomethylxanthinen und möglicherweise auch seiner weiteren Oxidation zu Methylharnsäuren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Manganese nodules from the Kane Gap (a deep sea channel connecting the Sierra Leone and Gambia Basins off West Africa) were investigated chemically and dated by10Be along cross-sections. Comparing the nodule structure with the stratigraphy of the related sediments, the following conclusions are drawn concerning the sedimentation processes during the last 4 to 6×106 years: The growth of the nodules started about 4 to 4.5 Ma before present during or near to the end of a period of erosion on a fossil-free, probably Miocene sediment. During the first phase of only a few hundred thousandyears, the nodules grew very quickly (7 to 〉18 mm/Ma). Fe-rich hydrogenetic material formed the internal sections of the nodules during this time. Slowing down of the bottom currents, resulting in deposition of thin sediment covers for short intervals, caused the character of the nodules to change to a more diagenetic composition. The growth rates were reduced to about 1 to 2 mm/Ma. The time of slowing is roughly 3 to 4 Ma BP. Probable uncertainties of the dating and growth rates resulting from supposed changes of the10Be supply to the nodules due to variations of the near bottom environment are discussed.
    Abstract: Résumé Le «Kana Gap» est un chenal sous-marin qui relie les bassins de Sierra Leone et de Gambie, au large de l'Afrique occidentale. Des nodules de manganèse, recueillis le long de profils transversaux dans ce chenal, ont fait l'objet d'une étude chimique et d'une détermination d'âge10Be. La comparaison entre la structure des nodules et la stratigraphie des sédiments sous-jacents permet de tirer les conclusions suivantes relatives au processus sédimentaire au cours des 4 à 6 derniers Ma. La croissance des nodules a commencé il y a environ 4 à 4,5 Ma pendant ou juste après un épisode d'érosion sous-marine sur des sédiments non fossilifères, probablement miocènes. Au cours d'une première phase d'une durée de quelques centaines de milliers d'années, la croissance a été très rapide (7 à 〉 18 mm par Ma) avec formation de la partie centrale du nodule, constituée de matière hydrogénée riche en Fe. Ensuite, après ralentissement des courants de fond et dépôt probable d'une mince couche de sédiment, le caractère des nodules a évolué vers une composition plus diagénétique, avec réduction du taux de croissance à 1 à 2 mm par Ma. Le moment de ce changement de régime doit se situer entre 3 et 4 Ma. Des changements dans les conditions de milieu sur le fond de la mer pourraient avoir provoqué une variation de la quantité de10Be apportée aux nodules, d'où résulterait une incertitude sur l'estimation des âges et du taux de croissance; cette question est discutée par les auteurs.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung An Manganknollen aus der Kane-Lücke, dem Verbindungskanal zwischen Sierra Leone Becken und Gambia Becken (vor W-Afrika) wurden entlang Querprofilen durch mehrere Knollen chemische Untersuchungen und10Be Altersbestimmungen durchgeführt. Durch Vergleich des Aufbaus der Knollen mit der Stratigraphie des unterlagernden Sediments werden Rückschlüsse auf Veränderungen des Sedimentationsgeschehens während der letzten 4–6×106 Jahre gezogen. Hiernach begann das Wachstum der Knollen vor maximal 4.5×106 Jahren während oder gegen Ende einer Erosionsphase auf fossilfreiem, vermutlich miozänem Sediment. Während der ersten Phase wuchsen die Knollen über wenige 100000 Jahre sehr schnell (7 bis〉18 mm/106 Jahre). Hierbei schied sich Fe-reiche Knollensubstanz hydrogener Zusammensetzung ab. Nach Verringerung der Strömung und vermutlich zeitweiser Bildung von dünnen Sedimentschleiern änderte sich der Charakter der Knollen zu mehr diagnetischer Zusammensetzung bei wesentlich reduziertem Wachstum (ca. 1 bis 2 mm/106 Jahre). Der Zeitpunkt der Umstellung ist nur sehr grob zu ermitteln, er dürfte etwa zwischen 3 und 4×106 Jahren vor heute liegen. Eventuelle Unsicherheiten bei der Datierung und den Wachstumsraten, die möglicherweise aus milieubedingten Änderungen in der10Be Versorgung der Knollen resultieren, werden diskutiert.

    Notes: Abstract The southeastern extension of the Austral Islands volcanic chain terminates near 29°S, 140°W at the active Macdonald Seamount. The ‘hotspot’ region near Macdonald consists of at least five other volcanic edifices each more than 500 m high, included in an area about 50–100 km in diameter. On the basis of the sea-floor topography, the southeastern limit of the hotspot area is located about 20 km east of the base of Macdonald, where it is defined by the 3950 m isobath. At the edge of the hotspot area, there is a marked deepening of the seafloor from c.3900 m down to 4000–4300 m. The deeper sea-floor is faulted and heavily sedimented. The Macdonald volcano itself stands 3760 m above the surrounding seafloor, and has a basal diameter of 45 km. Its summit in January 1987 was 39 m below sea level, and it seems likely that Macdonald will emerge at the surface in the near future. Recent (March and November 1986) phreatic explosions on Macdonald Seamount erupted fragments of ultramafic and mafic plutonic blocks together with basic lapilli (volcaniclastic sand). The plutonic blocks have been variably altered and metamorphosed, and in some cases show signs of mineralisation (disseminated sulphides). The blocks presumably come from deeper levels in the volcanic system. The volcanics so far dredged from Macdonald consist of olivine and clinopyroxene cumulus-enriched basalts, evolved basalts, and mugearite. On the basis of incompatible element variations, simple crystal fractionation seems to be controlling the chemical evolution of Macdonald magmas.

    Notes: Summary Circulating immune complexes (CIC) were detected by means of the polyethylen glycol (PEG) precipitation method, in the serum of untreated patients with hematologic diseases including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL) and hematosarcoma (HS). Immunoglobulins (Ig) and the C 4 fraction of complement were quantitated in the precipitate dissociated by potassium cyanate (KCNO) and in the serum. When compared to control sera, the results showed a simultaneous increase of both precipitate and Ig component. The proportion of each Ig in the precipitate was stable for the controls but variable for the patients. On the whole precipitated proteins, 30% were systematically quantitated in patients and controls. In the remaining portion were noticed Clq and C 3 fractions of complement as well as haptoglobin and albumin. The nature of the antigen was discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zwei Fälle von zirkumskripten sudomotorischen und vasomotorischen Paroxysmen an der Ulnarseite der linken Hand (Gebiet der Rami dorsales manus und der Nervi digitorum dorsales) werden beschrieben. Die Störungen traten, ohne klinisch evidente Vorschädigung, jeweils um das 10. Lebensjahr herum auf. Als Ursache der Krankheit wird eine überschießende visceral-efferente Fehlregeneration nach unbekannter Schädigung des Nervus ulnaris in der Kindheit diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary Two patients with circumscribed sudomotor and vasomotor attacks in the area of the ulnar nerve of the left hand are described. The onset of the disease in both cases occurred at approximately 10 years of age. Etiology is discussed in terms of an excessive and erroneous visceral-efferent regeneration after unknown trauma of the ulnar nerve during childhood.

    Notes: Abstract Complexes of histone H1 from sea urchin sperm (H1S) and calf thymus (H1T) with superhelical DNA I and relaxed circular DNA II have been analyzed by analytical sedimentation. Similar to H1T, the highly basic and relatively arginine-rich histone H1S preferentially interacts with DNA I compared to DNA II under competition conditions. However, H1S induces a stronger aggregation of bothforms of DNA than H1T. Below 0.05 M NaCl, the soluble complexes formed by both histones have similar properties, but aggregation proceeds in a different manner: H1S induces a stronger aggregation of DNA II as compared to DNA I, whereas H1T fails to aggregate DNA I. The results are explained on the basis of differences in amino acid sequence and structure of the two histones and related to the special chromatin condensing ability of histone H1S.

    Notes: Summary Type-A spermatogonia can be found in different locations throughout the germinal epithelium of human seminiferous tubules. Generally they represent the population of germ cells adjacent to the basal lamina, but under special conditions they may be located in the adluminal compartment. This aberrant location is found not only in the terminal segments but also in the seminiferous tubules of men older than 65 years of age, and in cases of intratubular seminoma. Furthermore, in both cases, type-A spermatogonia may occupy an intermediate position between basal and intraluminal locations, without showing any signs of cytological damage.

    Notes: Abstract Low-temperature scanning electron microscopy has been performed for imaging the spatial distribution of the critical current densityj c(x,y) and of the critical temperatureT c(x,y) in polycrystalline superconducting YBaCuO films. Strongly inhomogeneous behavior has been observed, and the spatial resolution limit has been found to be 1–2 μm. The local temperature increment in the specimen film caused by the electron beam scanning has been demonstrated experimentally as the underlying mechanism of the imaging principle, and the beam-induced thermal perturbation of the high-T c film/substrate configuration is discussed in detail. The radiation hardness of the sample films against the electron beam irradiation in our imaging experiments has been evaluated. No radiation damage could be detected up to the maximum applied dose of well above 1020 electrons/cm2 for a typical beam energy of 26 keV.
