At the LANSCE pulsed neutron source we have measured the neutron beam polarization with an absolute accuracy of 0.3% in the neutron energy range from 40 meV to 10 eV using an optically pumped polarized He-3 spin filter and a relative transmission measurement technique. He-3 was polarized using the Rb spin-exchange method. We describe the measurement technique, present our results, and discuss some of the systematic effects associated with the method.

A dust-producing site on the playa was studied over a four-year period to document the processes associated with aerosol emission. The playa takes on a variety of sedimentary forms and phases with surface crusts of differing susceptibilities to wind erosion. The sediments are classed into three general categories based on appearance: soft (saline), loose with drifting sand (salt-silt-clay), and hard and clean (silt-clay). Sediment samples were collected over a two-year period as the study site cycled through all three crust types, and the samples were crushed and analyzed by PIXE. The results indicate that visual appearance and sedimentary structure does not correlate with elemental composition. All sediment types contain significant concentrations of various elements including sodium, calcium and silicon. Potentially toxic trace elements are also found in the sediments. All sediment types contain lead and/or arsenic in tens of parts per million, as well as various other heavy metals. Pb and As levels do not clearly correlate with salt content or sediment type. Arsenic levels may be slightly higher in the crusts with loose material present and potentially lower in the clean hard crusts, while Pb was least frequently detected in the samples with loose material. Future research will add mineralogical and stable isotope analyses to correlate with the PIXE data. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. An rights reserved.

Over seven breeding seasons, we studied the provisioning behavior of chinstrap penguins, Pygoscelis antarctica, at Seal Island. Antarctica, during parents' transition to leave broods of one or two chicks unguarded. By measuring the frequency, duration, and diel timing of foraging trips and the quantity of prey brought to chicks, we examined the extent to which variation in parents' feeding behavior could be attributed to provisioning costs which increase with chick growth. Estimates of the energy content of food loads were combined with foraging patterns and brood requirements to model parents' seasonal provisioning budget. The frequency of foraging trips increased from the guard to post-guard phase and was higher, and the seasonal effect larger, in parents with two chicks. The duration of overnight trips (similar to16 h) increased with seasonally increasing night length; diurnal trip duration (similar to8 h) showed no seasonal pattern. Birds exhibited a seasonal shift to diurnal foraging, a trend that was generally weaker in parents of smaller broods. Food loads increased with chick mass only in parents of one chick; parents of two chicks had larger but more constant food loads. Based on per trip calculations, parents foraging overnight could not have delivered to two-chick broods enough food to meet their demands unless chicks were small. Diurnal foragers (regardless of brood size) and overnight foragers with one chick could meet brood demands at chicks' peak mass. The combined daily effort of parents indicated that mated pairs on average had ample resources to meet chick demands through most of rearing. A brief period when demands could not be met was predicted in two-chick broods just before chicks were left unguarded and again as they neared fledging. Our findings suggest that penguins both increased provisioning frequency and favored foraging under higher light intensity in conjunction with increasing chick demands, tactics which required parents to leave chicks unattended. The ability to maintain intrinsic control over provisioning has bearing on how penguins may be limited by extrinsic constraints. Prey surveys conducted annually near colonies show abundant resources 10-20 km offshore with no consistent seasonal shifts in abundance. These findings support a prominent role for intrinsic factors in the foraging decisions of chinstrap penguins. C1 NOAA, Natl Marine Mammal Lab, Alaska Fisheries Sci Ctr, Seattle, WA 98115 USA.

The take-home message for the static aspects is that what seems to "matter" more than previously appreciated is local tetrahedral order, so that liquid water has features in common with SiO(2) and P, as well as perhaps Si and C. For the dynamic aspects, what may "matter" is the number of diffusive directions in the potential energy landscape. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

When a mirror reflects the beams back onto themselves one finds that depending on the position along the resulting standing wave the fluorescence intensity from the sample (cesium in our case) decreases (EIT) or even increases [electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA)] with a period on the centimeter scale. An intuitive picture is based on the interference of coherent dark states but the explanation of the EIA effect requires consideration of Doppler effects in the thermal vapor. This allows for a quantitative comparison between experimental and calculated results. C1 Univ Bonn, Inst Angew Phys, D-53115 Bonn, Germany. Novosibirsk State Univ, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia.

We theoretically investigate three approaches to trapping atoms above linear integrated optical waveguides. A two-color scheme balances the decaying evanescent fields of red- and blue-detuned light to produce a potential minimum above the guide. A one-color surface trap proposal uses blue-detuned light and the attractive surface interaction to provide a potential minimum. A third proposal uses blue-detuned light in two guides positioned above and below one another. The atoms are confined to the "dark" spot in the vacuum gap between the guides. We find that all three approaches can be used to trap atoms in two or three dimensions with approximately 100 mW of laser power. We show that the dark spot guide is robust to light scatter and provides the most viable approach for constructing integrated optical circuits that could be used to transport and manipulate atoms in a controlled manner.

These x rays are understood to originate from electron capture processes into high-Rydberg states of the projectile ion from the outermost shell of target where the captured electron cascades down into the vacant L shell of the ion, thus emitting L x rays. It has been found that the observed L x-ray spectra move toward higher energy as the ion charge (q) increases. The observed L x-ray spectra are compared with synthetic spectra using various models. It has been found that the L x-ray production cross sections obtained for Kr27+ ions are inversely proportional to the ionization energy of target, similar to those recently observed in K x rays produced from ions with K-shell vacancy, and correspond to roughly 40% of total electron capture cross sections, meanwhile the rest of the electron cascades into the metastable states and thus cannot decay within a viewing region of a Si(Li) x-ray detector.

Polarized neutron reflectometry and magnetometry were used to determine the anisotropies of polycrystalline ferromagnetic (F) Fe thin films exchange coupled to antiferromagnetic (AF) untwinned single crystal (110) FeF2, twinned single crystal (110) FeF2 thin films and (110) textured polycrystalline FeF2 thin films. A correlation between the anisotropies of the AF and F thin films with exchange bias was identified. Specifically, when exchange coupling across the F-AF interface introduces an additional anisotropy axis in the F thin film-one perpendicular to the cooling field, the magnetization reversal mechanism is affected (as observed with neutron scattering) and exchange bias is significantly enhanced.

We speculate that this anomalous behavior is directly related to the condensation of polarized, nanometer-sized, regions (PNR) at the Burns temperature T-d. We also observe the "waterfall" anomaly previously seen in pure PMN, in which the transverse optic branch appears to drop precipitously into the TA branch at a finite momentum transfer q(wf)similar to0.15 Angstrom(-1). The waterfall feature is seen even at temperatures above T-d. This latter result suggests that the PNR exist as dynamic entities above T-d.

In the present work, synchrotron x-ray measurements have been extended to higher concentrations 10%less than or equal toxless than or equal to15%. The orthorhombic phase was observed for x=10%, but, surprisingly, for xgreater than or equal to11% only a tetragonal phase was found down to 20 K. The orthorhombic phase thus exists only in a narrow concentration range with near-vertical phase boundaries on both sides. This orthorhombic symmetry (M-C type) is in contrast to the monoclinic M-A-type symmetry recently identified at low temperatures in the Pb(Zr1-xTix)O-3 (PZT) system over a triangle-shaped region of the phase diagram in the range x=0.46-0.52. To further characterize this relaxor-type system, neutron inelastic scattering measurements have also been performed on a crystal of PZN-xPT with x=15%. The anomalous soft-phonon behavior ("waterfall" effect) previously observed for x=0% and 8% is clearly observed for the 15% crystal, which indicates that the presence of polar nanoregions extends to large values of x.

Our previous neutron-scattering studies on interfacial water have focused attention on the translational dynamics of the center of mass of water molecules. In this paper, we have collected QENS data on a wider range of wave-vector transfer so that both translational and rotational motions of water molecules are detected. The data have been analyzed by models for translation and rotation we recently proposed for supercooled water. The evolution of the parameters describing the relaxational dynamics of water embedded in the C(2)S matrix is given at temperature T=303 K as a function of the curing time.

The analysis in numerical models of the inherent structure (IS) trajectories-the set of local minima visited by the liquid-offers the possibility of filtering out the vibrational component of the motion of the system on the potential energy surface and thereby resolving the slow structural component more efficiently. Here we report an analysis of an IS trajectory for a widely studied water model, focusing on the changes in hydrogen bond connectivity that give rise to many IS's separated by relatively small energy barriers. We find that while the system travels through these IS's, the structure of the bond network is continuously modified, exchanging linear bonds for bifurcated bonds and usually reversing the exchange to return to nearly the same initial configuration. For the 216-molecule system we investigate, the time scale of these transitions is as small as the simulation time scale (approximate to1 fs). Hence, for water, the transition between each of these IS's is relatively small and eventual relaxation of the system occurs only by many of these transitions. We find that during IS changes the molecules with the greatest displacements move in small "clusters" of 1-10 molecules with displacements of approximate to0.02-0.2 nm, not unlike simpler liquids. However, for water these clusters appear to be somewhat more branched than the linear "stringlike" clusters formed in a supercooled Lennard-Jones system found by Glotzer and her collaborators.

Information about the structure is obtained from the two-point composition correlation function. Both experiment and simulation suggest subtle differences in the shear response depending on whether the more viscous phase is dispersed or continuous. Measurements of the string width along the neutral direction suggest power-law decay in the shear rate with an exponent of 1/3 when the more viscous phase is dispersed. The simulations suggest that the mean string width, measured along the velocity-gradient direction in the two-dimensional model calculation, exhibits power-law decay in the shear rate with an exponent of 1/3 independent of which phase is dispersed.

We find that the total strain exhibits critical power-law behavior that is well explained by two-dimensional percolation theory. Near the critical point, most of the strained cells organize themselves around a state having the minimum or at least marginally stable strain regardless of the initial conditions. A strain much greater than the minimum stable strain generally decays to a lower value when transmitted to an unstrained cell. The universal behavior of the total strain in the system is a consequence of the self-organizing character of the strain in the critical cluster. Although the probability distributions for the total strain and cluster size appear to exhibit nonuniversal behavior, this may merely represent a transient response before crossover to a true asymptotic, universal behavior occurs. Other critical aspects of the model are also discussed. C1 Univ Georgia, Ctr Simulat Phys, Athens, GA 30602 USA. NIST, Mat Sci & Engn Lab, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

On the 100 ps time scale, the anharmonic and diffusive motions involved in the protein structural relaxation are correlated with the protein-water hydrogen bond dynamics. The complete structural relaxation of the protein requires relaxation of the hydrogen bond network via solvent translational displacement. Inhibiting the solvent translational mobility, and therefore the protein-water hydrogen bond dynamics, has an effect on the protein relaxation similar to dehydration.

We developed a processing system capable of producing single fiber fragmentation samples with gelation times that ranged from 2 min to 45 min. The interfacial properties of E-glass fibers in vinyl ester resin were measured with single fiber fragmentation tests using a manual and an automated testing machine. We found that vinyl ester resins catalyzed with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and promoted with cobalt naphthenate and dimethylaniline gelled in less than two minutes and had an estimated interfacial shear strength of 105 MPa. Specimens cured without the promoter gelled in 45 min and had an interfacial shear strength of 72 MPa. Further curing of the unpromoted specimens resulted in an increase in shear strength to 96 MPa. We have demonstrated the ability to make and test rapidly cured specimens, thus expanding the range of materials that can be tested using the single fiber fragmentation testing technique.

Results from ten CRMs are also used to diagnose problems in the SCMs. It is shown that most SCMs can generally capture well the convective events that were well-developed within the SCM domain, while most of them have difficulties in simulating the occurrence of those convective events that only occurred within a small part of the domain. All models significantly underestimate the surface stratiform precipitation. A third of them produce large errors in surface precipitation and thermodynamic structures. Deficiencies in convective triggering mechanisms are thought to be one of the major reasons. Using a triggering mechanism that is based on the vertical integral of parcel buoyant energy without additional appropriate constraints results in overactive convection, which in turn leads to large systematic warm/dry biases in the troposphere. It is also shown that a non-penetrative convection scheme can underestimate the depth of instability for midlatitude convection, which leads to large systematic cold/moist biases in the troposphere. SCMs agree well quantitatively with CRMs in the updraught mass fluxes, while most models significantly underestimate the downdraught mass fluxes. Neglect of mesoscale updraught and downdraught mass fluxes in the SCMs contributes considerably to the discrepancies between the SCMs and the CRMs. In addition, uncertainties in the diagnosed mass fluxes in the CRMs and deficiencies with cumulus parametrizations are not negligible. Similar results are obtained in the sensitivity tests when different forcing approaches are used. Finally. sensitivity tests from an SCM indicate that its simulations can be greatly improved when its triggering mechanism and closure assumption are improved.

The observations were obtained during a shallow south fohn event documented in the framework of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP). Three important data sources were used: the airborne differential-absorption lidar LEANDRE 2, the ground-based Doppler lidar TEACO2 and in situ measurements from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration P-3 aircraft. This event was simulated down to 2 km horizontal resolution using the non-hydrostatic mesoscale model Meso-NH. The structure and dynamics of the flow were realistically simulated. The combination of high-resolution observations and numerical Simulations provided a comprehensive three-dimensional picture of the flow through the Wipptal: in the gap entrance region (Brenner Pass. Austria), the low-level jet was not solely due to the channelling of the southerly synoptic flow through the elevated gap. Part of the Wipptal flow originated as a mountain wave at the valley head wall of the Brenner Pass. Downstream of the pass, the shallow fohn flow had the characteristics of a downslope windstorm as it rushed down towards the Inn valley (Inntal) and the City of Innsbruck, Austria. Downhill of the Brenner Pass, the strongest flow was observed over a small obstacle along the western side wall (the Nosslachjoch), rather than channelled in the deeper part of the valley just to the east. Further north, the low-level jet was observed in the centre of the valley. Approximately halfway between Brenner Pass and Innsbruck, where the along-axis direction of the valley changes from north to north-north-west, the low-level jet was observed to be deflected to the eastern side wall of the Wipptal. Interaction between the Stubaier Alpen (the largest and highest topographic feature to the west of the Wipptal) and the south-westerly synoptic flow was found to be the primary mechanism responsible for the deflection. The along- and cross-valley structure and dynamics of the flow were observed to be highly variable due to the influence of surrounding mountains, localized steep slopes within the valley and Outflows from tributaries (the Gschnitztal and the Stubaital) to the west of the Wipptal. For that shallow fohn case, observations and simulations provided a large body of evidence that downslope flow created thinning/thickening fluid and accelerations/decelerations reminiscent of mountain wave/hydraulic theory. Along the Wipptal, two hydraulic-jump-like transitions were observed and simulated, (i) on the lee slope of the Nosslachjoch and (ii) in the Gschnitztal exit region. A hydraulic solution of the flow was calculated in the framework of reduced-gravity shallow-water theory. The down-valley evolution of the Froude number computed using LEANDRE 2, P-3 flight level and TEACO2 measurements confirmed that these transitions were associated with super- to subcritical transitions.

Each sample (in the form of a disk) was sandwiched between two pieces, several square millimeter of CR-39. The sample packages were then placed in a cold neutron beam at the NIST Center for Neutron Research reactor. Almost all fission events in these samples resulting from the irradiations were due to U-235(n, f) reactions. The induced fissions were measured by track counting. The uranium contents of the zirconia, determined relative to the SRM2710 by both the fission track density and gamma activity of Np-239, were found to be 354 +/- 18 and 339 +/- 10.7 ppm, respectively. For comparison, instrumental neutron activation analysis followed by gamma spectrometry was also used to determine the uranium content of all the test samples. The fission track density rates of SRM2710 and zirconia were found to be 3 +/- 0.15 and 51.7 +/- 2.6 fission cm(-2)s(-1) respectively, while the fission track registration sensitivities of CR-39 for both samples are (6.33 +/- 0.32) x 10(-9) and (7.68 +/- 0.38) x 10(-9) fission track cm(-2)s(-1) ppm(-1) unit neutron flux(-1), respectively. This technique has been applied for the detection of trace and ultra trace U-235 bearing inclusions in two environmental samples, coal ash and coal, in which the U-235 contents have been found to be 77 +/- 4 and 4.18 +/- 0.2 ppb, respectively, while the related experimental fission track registration sensitivities of CR-39 were determined to be (3.26 +/- 0.16) x 10(-9) and (4.7 +/- 0.24) x 10(-9) fission track cm(-2)s(-1) neutron(-1) per ppm U-235, respectively.

The final stable product is the poorly soluble diformazan violet to blue pigment having a broad spectral absorption band (lambda(max) = 552 nm). The reaction of BT2+ with the hydrated electron proceeds by rapid reduction of BT2+ followed by protonation at the nitrogen closest to the unsubstituted phenyl group, via the two intermediate tetrazolinyl radicals shared by the ditetrazole ring nitrogens. The effect of solution pH, N2O saturation, and the presence of the reducing agent dextrose are examined. The system serves as a radiochromic sensor and a dosimeter of ionizing radiations. Solutions of 5 mmoll(-1) 1 BT2+ at pH 7.3 serve as dosimeters over an absorbed-dose range of approximately 0.2-6 kGy (dearated, with a range of 1-8 mmoll(-1) dextrose) and of about 1-15 kGy (aerated, with 0.1 moll(-1) sodium formate and 5 mmoll(-1) dextrose).

Unlike most wafer curvature systems, the instrument described measures the local curvature of the multilayer/substrate couple, correcting for the local topography of the substrate, rather than measuring changes in the average curvature of the multilayer/substrate couple. The apparatus has been designed specifically to perform biaxial zero-creep measurements at elevated temperatures in vacuum. It can also be used to examine the development of biaxial stresses during thermal cycling of thin films deposited on substrates. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

Visible or UV pump pulses are generated with nonlinear crystal techniques on a Ti:sapphire laser output, while soft x-ray probe pulses are created via high-order harmonic generation of the same laser in rare gases. Here we describe the optical layout of the pump-probe system, the means for separation of the high-order harmonics in the soft x-ray probe beam, including a description of the two grating setup used to compress the high-harmonic pulses and the magnetic bottle photoelectron spectrometer used for data collection. The feasibility of using the generated high-harmonic pulses for an array of gaseous phase photoelectron spectroscopy experiments is established. These include measurements of valence shell and core-level photoelectron transitions in atoms and molecules, the tunability of the soft x-ray harmonic through Rydberg resonances, and the energy bandwidths of the harmonics. Cross correlations between the visible/UV and soft x-ray pulses, by above threshold ionization, are used to establish the pulse timing, pulse duration, and spatial overlap for ultrafast studies. The observed real time photodissociation of Br-2 serves as a demonstration of the pump-probe ultrafast technique and the applicability to ultrafast time-resolved chemical dynamics.

Based on perceptually-weighted distortion-rate calculations, a fractal method is adaptively applied to the parts of an image that can be encoded more efficiently relative to an EZW coder at a given rate. In addition to improving comoression performance, the proposed algorithm also allows one to impose desirable properties from each type of image coder. such as progressive transmission, the zerotree structure, and range-domain block decoding.

To mimic these viral interacting site(s), the amino-terminal and extracellular loop segments of CCR5 were linked in tandem to form concatenated polypeptides, or grafted onto a seven-transmembrane bacteriorhodopsin scaffold to generate several chimeras. The chimera studies identified specific regions in CCR5 that confer HIV-1 coreceptor function, structural rearrangements in the transmembrane region that may modulate this activity, and a role for the extracellular surface in folding and assembly. Methods developed here may be applicable to the dissection of functional domains from other seven-transmembrane receptors and form a basis for future structural studies.

Because all WSR-88Ds employ scanning strategies that were developed for flatland radars, mountaintop radars send signals well above the populated valleys and terrain surrounding the radars. Forecasters who use mountaintop WSR-88Ds are at a distinct disadvantage in not being able to detect crucial weather phenomena near the earth's surface. The use of negative elevation angles has been proposed as a solution to this problem. This type of radar operation poses no public radiation hazard, because the microwave radiation exposure level is about two orders of magnitude below the acceptable guideline near the radar and rapidly decreases with increasing distance. The feasibility of KMSX using negative elevation angles is simulated using several different weather situations. The simulations show the potential for improved detections of low-altitude weather conditions in the surrounding valleys and improved estimates of precipitation amounts throughout the coverage area. For example, using the lowest elevation angle (+0.5degrees) of the current WSR-88D scanning strategies, simulated rainfall rates detected in the valleys progressively decrease from about 80% of the surface value near the radar to only 1% of the surface value at 220 km. However, using an elevation angle of -0.8degrees, simulated rainfall rates detected at all ranges out to 220 km are about 80%-95% of the surface values.

Five of the data types are remotely sensed satellite data, and the other five are in situ. The satellite data types include three-layer and vertically integrated precipitable water, temperature data down to cloud top, infrared cloud-drift winds, and water vapor cloud-top winds. The five in situ data types consist of two rawinsonde and two aircraft observation types along with surface land observations. The work described in this paper is relevant for Eta Model users trying to identify the impact of remotely sensed, largely maritime data types and in situ, largely land-based data types. The case studies chosen consist of 11-day periods during December 1998, April 1999, and July 1999. During these periods, 11 EDAS runs were executed twice daily. The 11 runs include a control run, which utilizes all data types used in the EDAS, and 10 experimental runs in which one of the data types is denied. Differences between the experimental and control runs are then accumulated and analyzed to demonstrate the 0-h sensitivity and 24-h forecast impact of these data types in the EDAS. Conventional meteorological terms evaluated include temperature, u component of the wind, and relative humidity on five pressure levels. These diagnostics are computed over the entire model domain and within a subsection centered on the continental United States (CONUS). The entire domain results show that a modest positive forecast impact is achieved from all 10 data types during all three time periods. Rawinsonde temperature and moisture observations and infrared cloud-drift wind observations have the largest positive impact season to season; however, both precipitable water data types provide significant positive forecast impact during the summer and transition seasons. Rawinsonde temperature and moisture, rawinsonde winds, aircraft winds, and infrared cloud-drift winds have the largest positive impact season to season over CONUS. The three-layer precipitable water data type produces large positive forecast impact over CONUS during July. In general, the forecast impacts are smaller for nearly all data types over CONUS than over the entire model domain. There are also more negative forecast impacts for both the in situ and remotely sensed data types over CONUS than over the entire domain. C1 Univ Wisconsin, CIMSS, SSEC, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

The data are compared with observations obtained from moored buoys and platforms. The analysis of 3 yr of data has helped to quantify the global and regional skills, strengths, and weaknesses of the different ocean wave forecasting systems. Since the quality of ocean wave forecasts is intrinsically linked to the quality of the forcing wind fields, it is not surprising to find that the center with the lowest wind speed errors also has the lowest wave height errors. The benefit of using a third-generation Wave Model (WAM), for example, is not so tangible in terms of wave height statistics but it is definitively evident in terms of peak periods. Even though WAM has proved to be well suited for global wave forecasting, it is also clear that research is still needed to reduce the model tendency to underpredict some storms when it is forced by operational global wind fields. It appeared that assimilating altimeter wave heights has a positive impact on the model performance. It is also argued that the height of the wind speed observations should be taken into account when assimilating the data or simply when evaluating model performance since it might otherwise introduce a systematic negative bias into the analysis. Last, this exchange of data should continue and possibly extend to other forecasting centers as a tool for model developers but also as a continuous reference for marine forecasters.

This discussion mainly focuses on a parallel comparison of the new NWW3 system with the previously operational Wave Model (WAM) system, using extensive buoy and European Remote Sensing Satellite-2 (ERS2) altimeter data. The new system is shown to describe the variability of the wave height more realistically, with similar or smaller random errors and generally better correlation coefficients and regression slopes than WAM. NWW3 outperforms WAM in the Tropics and in the Southern Hemisphere, and they both show fairly similar behavior at northern high latitudes. Dissemination of NWW3 products, and plans for its further development, are briefly discussed. C1 NOAA, Ocean Modeling Branch, Environm Modeling Ctr, NCEP, Camp Springs, MD 20746 USA.

The aluminum model was verified with experiments for ER-1100 and ER-4043 electrodes. The dimensionless parameters in the model showed that conductive heat transfer dominates other effects in aluminum compared to steel, which causes the differences in sensitivity of the process to the input parameters (current, wire-feed speed, and/or voltage). If the steel and aluminum electrode extensions are compared at about the midpoint of the current range for electrodes of the same diameter (1.2 mm), the aluminum electrode is 28 times more sensitive to changes in the wire-feed speed than is the steel electrode. When welding with a 1.2mm-diameter aluminum wire at 150 A, a 1% change in wire-feed speed causes an 8-mm change in the arc length. When welding with a 1.2-mm-diameter steel wire at 200 A, a 1% change in wire-feed speed causes a 0.5-mm change in the arc length. Similar sensitivity to changes in current is exhibited by aluminum.,Dynamic analysis about the set points described above indicates the electrode extension in aluminum is many times more sensitive than steel to perturbations in wire-feed speed and current at low frequencies, but aluminum has a similar response to steel at high frequencies.

This model incorporates the best available equations of state for the refrigerants, is valid over the entire range of composition, is not limited to states below the refrigerant critical temperature, and can represent volumetric properties in addition to calculating reliable phase equilibria. As part of the approach, we developed equations that can be used to apply a simplified statistical associating fluid theory (SSAFT) equation of state to POE-based lubricants. We compare the predictions of the model with selected experimental data available in the literature for bubble point pressures and saturated liquid densities of these systems.

The previously informally named 'Anomaly-T,' an cast-west trending linear positive magnetic and gravity anomaly lying at about 69degreesS, forms the southern boundary of the well-known Weddell Sea gravity herringbone. North of Anomaly-T, three major E-W linear magnetic lows are shown, and identified with anomalies cl2r, c21-29(r) and c33r. On the basis of these, and following work by recent investigators, isochrons c13, 08, c20, c21, c30, c33 and c34 are identified and extended into the western Weddell Sea. Similarly, a linear magnetic low lying along the spine of the herringbone is shown and provisionally dated at 93-96 Ma. Anomaly-T is tentatively dated to be M5n, in agreement with recent tectonic models. Although current tectonic models are generally in good agreement to the north of T, to the south interpretations differ. Some plate tectonic models have only proposed essentially north-south spreading in the region, whilst others have suggested that a period of predominantly east-west motion (relative to present Antarctic geographic coordinates) occurred during the mid-Mesozoic spreading between East and West Gondwana. We identify an area immediately to the south of T which appears to be the southerly extent of N-S spreading in the herringbone. Following recent work, the extreme southerly extent of the N-S directed spreading of the herringbone is provisionally dated M9r/M10. In the oldest Weddell Sea, immediately to the north and east of the Antarctic shelf, we see subtle features in both the magnetic and gravity data that are consistent with predominantly N-S spreading in the Weddell Sea during the earliest opening of East and West Gondwana. In between, however, in a small region extending approximately from about 50 km south of T to about 70degreesS and from approximately 40degrees to 53degreesW, the magnetic and gravity data appear to suggest well-correlated linear marine magnetic anomalies (possible isochrons) perpendicular to T, bounded and offset by less well-defined steps and linear lows in the gravity (possible fracture zones). These magnetic and gravity data southwest of T suggest that the crust here may record an E-W spreading episode between the two-plate system of East and West Gondwana prior to the initiation of the three-plate spreading system of South America, Africa and Antarctica. The E-W spreading record to the east of about 35degreesW would then appear to have been cut off at about M10 time during the establishment of N-S three-plate spreading along the South American-Antarctic Ridge and then subducted under the Scotia Ridge.

Seafloor spreading in the northern Natal valley accounts for approximately 170 km of north-south motion between the Mozambique Ridge and Africa. This extension resolves the predicted overlap of the continental (central and southern) Mozambique Ridge and Antarctica in the chron M2 to M I I reconstructions from Mesozoic finite rotation parameters for Africa and Antarctica. In addition, the magnetic data reveal that the Mozambique Ridge was an independent microplate from at least 133 to 125 Ma. The northern Natal valley extinct spreading center connects to the spreading center separating the Mozambique Basin and the RiiserLarsen Sea to the east. It follows that the northern Mozambique Ridge was either formed after the emplacement of the surrounding oceanic crust or it is the product of a very robust spreading center. To the west the extinct spreading center connects to the spreading center separating the southern Natal valley and Georgia Basin via a transform fault. Prior to chron M11, there is still a problem with the overlap of Mozambique Ridge if it is assumed to be fixed with respect to either the African or Antarctic plates. Some of the overlap can be accounted for by Jurassic deformation of the Mozambique Ridge, Mozambique Basin, and Dronning Maud land. It appears though that the Mozambique Ridge was an independent microplate from the breakup of Gondwana, similar to 160 Ma, until it became part of the African plate, similar to 125 Ma.

Among our more interesting results has been the production of glass cells with extremely long relaxation times. The best of these has a lifetime of T-1=840 h [where the polarization decays versus time, t, as exp(-t/T-1)], dominated by the dipole-dipole contribution of 950 h at a He-3 partial pressure of 0.85 bar. Using a broadband LDA, we have obtained 55% He-3 nuclear polarization in this cell. These results are particularly relevant to the application of He-3-based neutron spin filters to neutron scattering and weak interaction experiments. Applications to magnetometry and polarized gas magnetic resonance imaging are also possible. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

A combination of evanescent illumination and light scattering at the probe apex is used to shape the optical field into a localized, three-dimensional optical trap. We use the coupled-dipole method and the Maxwell stress tensor to provide a self-consistent description of the optical force, including retardation and the influence of the substrate.

The three-spot damselfish (Dascyllus trimaculatus) species complex comprises four species that vary both in geographical ranges and colour patterns making them an ideal model to study these relationships. We analysed the mitochondrial control region of 122 individuals from all four species collected from 13 localities. Individuals from two species (Dascyllus albisella and D. strasburgi) grouped into monophyletic clades, while the two other species (D. trimaculatus and D. auripinnis) were found to be paraphyletic. Coloration patterns were therefore not found to be good predictors of genetic isolation. In contrast, geographical origin was always consistent with the observed genetic pattern.

We focus on the ecological role of energy storage. A physiologically based submodel describes how individual predators allocate assimilated energy among growth, reproduction, and storage. We use invasibility analyses to predict evolutionary stable strategies for energy allocation. Various proxy measures of fitness based on measurable biological quantities, such as average population size or average per-capita fecundity, fail to predict evolutionary stable strategies. The predicted strategies indicate that selection strongly favors storage allocation for juveniles, but only for adults when prey densities are high. With the evolution of energy storage, population dynamics can shift from aperiodic to stable cycles without any need to invoke group selection. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

As the orbital elements slowly change (over a period of >10(4) years), characteristics of the climate such as dustiness and the vigour of atmospheric circulation are thought to vary(2-5), as should asymmetries in the climate (for example, the deposition of water ice at the northern versus the southern pole). Such orbitally driven climate change might be responsible for the observed layering in Mars' polar deposits by modulating deposition of dust and water ice(3,5,6). Most current theories assume that climate asymmetries completely reverse as the angular distance between equinox and perihelion changes by 180degrees. Here we describe a major climate mechanism that will not precess in this way. We show that Mars' global north-south elevation difference forces a dominant southern summer Hadley circulation that is independent of perihelion timing. The Hadley circulation, a tropical overturning cell responsible for trade winds, largely controls interhemispheric transport of water and the bulk dustiness of the atmosphere(7-11). The topography therefore imprints a strong handedness on climate, with water ice and the active formation of polar layered deposits more likely in the north.

However, incompatibilities between processing algorithms prevent us from quantifying natural variability. We applied a comprehensive reanalysis to the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) archive, called the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NOAA-NASA) CZCS reanalysis (NCR) effort. NCR consisted of (1) algorithm improvement (AI), where CZCS processing algorithms were improved with modernized atmospheric correction and bio-optical algorithms and (2) blending where in situ data were incorporated into the CZCS AI to minimize residual errors. Global spatial and seasonal patterns of NCR chlorophyll indicated remarkable correspondence with modern sensors, suggesting compatibility. The NCR permits quantitative analyses of interannual and interdecadal trends in global ocean chlorophyll. (C) 2002 Optical Society of America.

During normal operations, one of six neutral-density filters is selected automatically to maintain the detector in its linear response range, On the basis of these standard direct-sun observations, estimates of aerosol optical depth can be derived, provided that a calibration of the relative measurements is available for each neutral-density filter. To obtain the calibration, we implemented a routine to measure direct-sun signals with a fixed neutral-density filter and applied the Langley method to the measured photon counts. Results show that if a sufficiently large number of cloud-free mornings or afternoons is available, a reliable calibration can be achieved even at sea-level sites that are characterized by large aerosol variability. The derived aerosol optical depths appear consistent with those measured independently by a multifilter rotating shadow-band radiometer. Existing relatively long-term series of direct-sun ozone measurements by Brewer instruments may be used for retrieval of aerosol optical depth. (C) 2002 Optical Society of America.

These compounds represent a concomitant damage to both sugar and base moieties of the same nucleoside and thus can be considered tandem lesions. Because of the presence of a covalent bond between the sugar and purine moieties, these tandem lesions are not repaired by base excision repair but by nucleotide excision repair. Thus, they may play a role in diseases with defective nucleotide excision repair. We recently reported the identification and quantification of 8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (8,5'-cdAdo) in DNA by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry with the isotope dilution technique (LC/IDMS) [Dizdaroglu, M., Jaruga, P., and Rodriguez, H. (2001) Free Radical Biol. Med. 30, 774-784]. In the present work, we investigated the measurement of 8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8,5'-cdGuo) in DNA by LC/IDMS. A methodology was developed for the separation of both (5'R)- and (5'S)-diastereomers of this compound in enzymic hydrolysates of DNA. The mass spectra were recorded using an atmospheric pressure ionization-electrospray process in the positive ionization mode. For quantification, stable isotope-labeled analogues of (5'R)-8,5'-cdGuo and (5'S)-8,5'-cdGuo were prepared and isolated by semipreparative LC to be used as internal standards. The sensitivity level of LC/MS in the selected ion monitoring mode (LC/MS-SIM) was determined to be approximately 15 fmol of these compounds on the LC column. The yield of 8,5'-cdGuo was measured in DNA exposed in aqueous solution to ionizing radiation at doses from 2.5 to 40 Gy. For comparison, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with the isotope dilution technique (GC/IDMS) was also employed to measure both (5'R)-8,5'-cdGuo and (5'S)-8,5'-cdGuo in DNA. Both techniques yielded nearly identical results. The radiation chemical yield of 8,5'-cdGuo was similar to those of other major purine-derived lesions in DNA. The sensitivity level of GC/MS-SIM was determined to be significantly greater than that of LC/MS-SIM (1 vs 15 fmol). The background levels of (5'R)-8,5'-cdGuo and (5'S)-8,5'-cdGuo were measured in calf thymus DNA and in DNA samples isolated from three different types of cultured human cells. The levels of (5'R)-8,5'-cdGuo and (5'S)-8,5'-cdGuo were approximately 2 lesions/10(6) DNA nucleosides and 10 lesions/10(6) DNA nucleosides, respectively. No significant differences between tissues were observed in terms of these background levels. The results showed that both LC/IDMS and GC/IDMS are well suited for the sensitive detection and precise quantification of both (5'R)-8,5'-cdGuo and (5'S)-8,5'-cdGuo in DNA.

At 0 degreesC, the lowest density striped phase, beta, converts to higher density striped phases, delta and chi, at exposures that are significantly less than those required at room temperature. The upright saturation phase, phi, is also obtained with a lower relative exposure. We discuss these results using an extrapolation of the schematic two-dimensional pressure (pi) versus temperature phase diagram developed in previous work. The observed low-temporature phase behavior is rationalized on the basis of thermodynamic considerations. By use of a schematic plot of phase chemical potential versus lateral pressure, the range of exposures over which various phases are thermodynamically stable is assessed as a function of temperature between 0 and 65 degreesC.

Long fluorocarbon chains are known to have a twisted (or helical) structure due to the steric interactions of the fluorine atoms. Carbon K-edge and fluorine K-edge NEXAFS spectra of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) have been calculated using FEFF8 to determine how changing the helical structure of the PTFE chains affects the NEXAFS spectra. Specific structural parameters varied in the calculations included unwinding the helix, changing bond angles, and theoretically "stretching" the PTFE chains. Changing these structural parameters resulted in changes in the calculated NEXAFS spectra. Experimental NEXAFS spectra were obtained at beamline U7A of the NSLS on highly oriented, rubbed PTFE samples. A large polarization dependence is observed at the fluorine K-edge for the C-F sigma* peak and at the carbon K-edge for the C-F sigma* peaks (at 292.3 and 299 eV) and the C-C sigma* peak (at 295.7 eV), consistent with the fluorocarbon chains oriented parallel to the gold surface along the "rubbing" direction. FEFF8 NEXAFS spectra calculated with self-consistent spherical muffin-tin potentials, a full multiple-scattering formalism, the structural coordinates for bulk PTFE, and no adjustable physical parameters are in good agreement with the experimental NEXAFS spectra, showing the fluorocarbon chains in the rubbed PTFE films have a helical structure.

SEE; COLI ENDONUCLEASE-III; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; EXCISION-REPAIR; FPG PROTEIN; HUMAN-CELLS; 8-OXOGUANINE-DNA GLYCOSYLASE; MAMMALIAN-CELLS; PURINE LESIONS AB 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), ring-opened purines (formamidopyrimidines or Fapys), and other oxidized DNA base lesions generated by reactive oxygen species are often mutagenic and toxic, and have been implicated in the etiology of many diseases, including cancer, and in aging. Repair of these lesions in all organisms occurs primarily via the DNA base excision repair pathway, initiated with their excision by DNA glycosylase/AP lyases, which are of two classes. One class utilizes an internal Lys residue as the active site nucleophile, and includes Escherichia coli Nth and both known mammalian DNA glycosylase/AP lyases, namely, OGG1 and NTH1. E. coli MutM and its paralog Nei, which comprise the second class, use N-terminal Pro as the active site. Here, we report the presence of two human orthologs of E. coli mutM nei genes in the human genome database, and characterize one of their products. Based on the substrate preference, we have named it NEH1 (Nei homolog). The 44-kDa, wild-type recombinant NEH1, purified to homogeneity from E. coli, excises Fapys from damaged DNA, and oxidized pyrimidines and 8-oxoG from oligodeoxynucleotides. Inactivation of the enzyme because of either deletion of N-terminal Pro or Histag fusion at the N terminus supports the role of N-terminal Pro as its active site. The tissue-specific levels of NEW and OGG1 mRNAs are distinct and S phase-specific increase in NEH1 at both RNA and protein levels suggests that NEW is involved in replication-associated repair of oxidized bases.

The traps collected integrated samples of settling particles every 2 weeks from May 1997 to September 1999. The total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (t-PAH) and total polychlorinated biphenyl (t-PCB) settling fluxes from the surface waters in the southern site were significantly greater than those from the northern site. In addition, there were more frequent brief increases in the mass flux to the southern site than to the northern site. These episodic events, which occurred only 20% of the time, accounted for 65% of both the mass flux and t-PAH flux. The t-PCB flux was not influenced by these episodic events, and only 18% of the t-PCB flux occurred during these events. PAHs and PCBs appear to be tracing different types of particles in the water column. Several large mass flux events characteristic of seiches were observed simultaneously in the benthic nepheloid layer (BNL) at both the northern and the southern sites. The particles settling as a result of these resuspension events had lower t-PCB and t-PAH concentrations than particles settling at other times. This suggests that the material settling into the traps on the high mass flux days is composed of a mixture of the less contaminated underlying resuspended sediment and the "regular" contaminant-rich particles settling into the BNL.

By measuring the scattered neutrons using a position-sensitive detector, we can determine the amount of hydrogen as well as its location in the matrix. Using a slit or aperture in the scattering geometry, we have demonstrated the imaging of hydrogen in layers of polypropylene sandwiched between sets of titanium plates, and also in titanium standards containing known amounts of hydrogen. We have shown the ability to image hydrogen in titanium at the 100 mug/g level as a function of location. Analysis of the images shows that the scattering from the hydrogen increases linearly with its mass fraction within the titanium. We have also investigated the effects on the images of attenuation of the incident beam prior to scattering. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

Microstructure examination shows that without the seed layer, the "free" and the "pinned" Co layers of the spin valves are highly irregular, discontinuous, and connected by pinholes across the Cu spacer layer, resulting in a large coupling >5.96 kA/m (>75 Oe) and a negligible GMR effect (<0.7%). The presence of Ni80Fe20 seed layer leads to continuous layers without pinholes and smooth interfaces in the (Ni80Fe20)O-Co-Cu, thereby essentially eliminating the coupling between the "free" and the "pinned" layers (0.23 kA/m or 2.9 Oe), a more than 25-fold reduction with respect to the seedless spin valves. Reduced detrimental coupling results in more than an order of magnitude increase in GMR (8.5%) in the NiFe seed layer spin valves. Domain studies confirm that the "pinned" and the "free" layers in seedless spin valves reverse their magnetization in an overlapping field range, and independently in spin valves deposited in the presence of a seed layer.

The glass-forming agents, tetraethoxysilane and zirconyl chloride, were introduced individually during the low-temperature preparation of ACP, These hybrid ACPs (Si-ACP and Zr-ACP, respectively) as well as the control, unhybridized ACP (u-ACP), were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, specific surface area measurements, and chemical analysis (Ca/PO4, ratio of the solids) before being dispersed in one of the following four test solutions: N-2-hydroxy-ethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)-buffered (pH = 7.40) saline solutions with 0 mug/g fluoride (test solution AI), I mug/g fluoride (test solution A2), and 10 mug /g fluoride (test solution A3), or a lactic acid-containing solution (pH = 5.10, adjusted with NaOH; test solution B). Aliquots were taken at predetermined time intervals for solution Ca and PO, analysis. Solids isolated after 30 and 90 min exposure to solution B as well as the final dissolution/ transformation products from all four solution experiments were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Regardless of the type of experimental solution used, slower conversion to HAP was observed with the hybrid ACPs compared with u-ACP. The retarding effect of the Si or Zr species in the hybridized ACPs is probably due to these ions specifically blocking, by adsorption, potential sites for HAP nucleation and growth. The stability of ACP toward HAP conversion increased in the following order: u-ACP < Si-ACP < Zr-ACP. Hybrid ACP fillers, especially Zr-ACP, could be utilized in applications in which it is desired to enhance performance of composites, sealants, and/or adhesives in preventing demineralization or actively promoting remineralization.

The amount of aerosol present is of primary importance and the aerosol optical properties are of secondary importance to direct aerosol radiative forcing calculations. The mean aerosol light absorption coefficient (sigma(ap)) is 10 times larger and the mean aerosol scattering coefficient (sigma(sp)) is 5 times larger at the anthropogenically influenced site at BND than at BRW. The aerosol optical properties of single scattering albedo (omega(o)) and hemispheric backscatter fraction (b) have variability of approximately +/-3% and +/-8%, respectively, in mean values among the four stations. To assess the importance of the variability in omega(o) and b on top of the atmosphere aerosol radiative forcing calculations, the aerosol radiative forcing efficiency(DeltaF/delta) is calculated. The DeltaF/delta is defined as the aerosol forcing (DeltaF) per unit optical depth (delta) and does not depend explicitly on the amount of aerosol present. Based on measurements at four North American stations, radiative transfer calculations that assume fixed aerosol properties can have errors of 1%-6% in the annual average forcing at the top of the atmosphere due to variations in average single scattering albedo and backscatter fraction among the sites studied. The errors increase when shorter-term variations in aerosol properties are considered; for monthly and hourly timescales, errors are expected to be greater than 8% and 15%, respectively, approximately one-third of the time. Systematic relationships exist between various aerosol optical properties [sigma(ap), omega(o), b, DeltaF/delta, and Angstrom exponent ((a) over circle)] and the amount of aerosol present (measured by sigma(sp)) that are qualitatively similar but quantitatively different among the four stations. These types of systematic relationships and the regional and temporal variations in aerosol optical properties should be considered when using "climatological'' averages.

The moorings occupied three sites that are morphologically different: a narrow transverse section (axis width 900 m) at 1450 m water depth, a wide transverse section at 2837 m, and a third site in the fan valley axis farther offshore at 3223 m that recorded for 3 yr. In addition, CTD/transmissometer casts were conducted within and near the Monterey Canyon during four cruises. Our data show a mainly biogenic, surface turbid layer, a limited intermediate nepheloid layer, and a bottom nepheloid layer. There is a consistent presence of a turbid layer within the canyon at a water depth of about 1500 m. Tidal flow dominates at all sites, but currents above the canyon rim and within the canyon appear to belong to two distinct dynamic systems. Bottom intensification of currents plays an important role in raising the near-bottom shear stress high enough that bottom sediments are often, if not always, resuspended. Mean flow pattern suggests a convergence zone between the narrow and wide site: the near-bed (100 m above bottom where the lowest current meter was located) mean transport is down-canyon at the 1450-m site. while the near-bottom transport at the 2837-m site is up-canyon. at a smaller magnitude. Transport at the 3223-m site is dominantly NNW, cross-canyon, with periods of up-canyon flow over 3 yr. A very high-turbidity event was recorded 100 m above the canyon bottom at the narrow site. The event started very abruptly and lasted more than a week. This event was not detected at either of the deeper sites. A canyon head flushing event is likely the cause.

Holes with diameters smaller than and larger than the wavelength of light are investigated. Counterintuitively, the holes appear dark and the film is bright in transmission images for both hole sizes. Modeling shows that the dominant contrast mechanism is enhanced light emission from the tip when the tip is above the film. Tip emission is enhanced because the tip-air impedance mismatch is reduced when the tip is above the high-index film. (C) 2002 Optical Society of America.

The samples were analyzed for a variety of persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), chlordane and metabolites, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and DDTs and metabolites. The geometric mean, on a wet mass basis, of SigmaPCBs (sum of 29 congeners and congener groups) were 732 +/- 282 ng/g (1 S.D.) in seals and 3395 +/- 1442 ng/g in polar bears. The geometric mean of SigmaDDTs, SigmaHCHs (alpha-, beta- and gamma- HCH) and HCB concentrations (wet mass basis) in seals and bears were 562 +/- 261 ng/g vs. 74.8 +/- 39 ng/g, 380 +/- 213 ng/g vs. 515 ng/g, and 17.4 +/- 10.1 ng/g vs. 183 +/- 153 ng/g, respectively. The geometric mean sum of chlordane (Sigmachlordane, sum of cis- and trans-chlordane, cis- and trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane and heptachlor epoxide) and dieldrin concentrations in ringed seals and polar bears were 753 +/- 617 ng/g vs. 720 +/- 315 ng/g and 38.6 +/- 22.8 ng/g vs. 130 +/- 65 ng/g, respectively. Apparent bioaccumulation factors (polar bear/ringed seal POP concentrations) were lower in the animals sampled near Barrow, Alaska than in those from locations in the Canadian Arctic. This suggests that polar bears are also preying on marine mammals from lower trophic levels than the ringed seals with correspondingly lower organochlorine levels, such as bowhead whale carcasses. PCB congener patterns in the samples demonstrated the metabolism of certain PCB congeners in the polar bear relative to the ringed seal in agreement with previous studies. Regional comparisons of animals collected in Alaska and Arctic Canada are presented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Using generic hydrogen-solute interactions in Monte Carlo simulations and physical arguments, it is shown that normal coarsening of hydride zones will be altered, or even arrested, by hydrogen-solute interactions. Small-angle neutron scattering shows that the distribution of deuterium in partially-deuterated LaNi4.75Sn0.25 is more homogeneous than, in partially-deuterated LaNi5, at least on the spatial scales around 100 Angstrom. It is suggested that the more homogeneous deuterium distribution in LaNi4.75Sn0.25 suppresses the strain gradients that cause decrepitation of the metal hydride. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

The measurements have been carried out on identical suspensions of alpha-Al2O3, SiC and Si3N4 with a solids volume fraction of 1% and 10%. Zeta potential and streaming potential are related by a linear function. The correlation coefficients for this relationship are better than 0.99 for the suspensions with 1% solids loading. For the suspensions with 10% solids loading, correlation coefficients are slightly lower due to the influence of increasing viscosity. Regardless of lower correlation at the higher solids loading, the isoelectric pH is constant within the Emits of accuracy of the pH measurements. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

The rms timing jitter between the lasers is 4.3 fs observed within a 160 Hz bandwidth over tens of seconds, or 26 fs within a 50 kHz bandwidth. Novel multi-stage phase-locked loops help to preserve this ultrahigh timing resolution while setting on arbitrary delay between the two pulse trains (0-5 ns). Under such synchronization, phase locking between the carrier frequencies of the two femtosecond lasers has been achieved, It is also demonstrated that the same level of synchronization can be achieved with two lasers at different repetition frequencies.

Eight transition state structures governing the mechanism of the title reaction were computed at seven different levels of theory. The results show that UMP2 calculations are adversely affected by contamination from higher spin states. QCISD(T) calculations illustrate the importance of correlation including triple electron excitations in the quadratic configuration wave function for obtaining an accurate description of the potential energy surface. Results computed at the QCISD(T)/6-31+G(d,p)// QCISD/6-31+G(d,p) level indicate that chlorine atom addition at the center and end carbons of allene are barrierless processes and that the chemically activated C3H4CI complex may isomerize through chlorine atom transfer but not through hydrogen atom transfer. The metathesis transition state corresponding to hydrogen abstraction by chlorine lies 15 kJ(.)mol(-1) above reactants. The isomerization reaction path between the 3-chloroI-propen-2-yl and 2-chloroallyl radical adducts lies below the initial reactants, permitting the incipient C3H4Cl ensembles to establish equilibrium. Thus, the dominant addition product of C1 + allene is the 2-chloroallyl radical. C1 NIST, Chem Sci & Technol Lab, Phys & Chem Properties Div, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

The gel can be reversed to solution by adding EDTA, which makes it a promising candidate for preparative electrophoretic separation of biomolecules. We have studied the electrophoretic migration of double-stranded T4 DNA (164 kilobase pairs) in gellan gels by velocity measurements and by linear dichroism spectroscopy studies of the DNA coil conformation during the migration. The gels either contained 0.3% of high molecular weight (5 x 106) poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), to suppress the electroosmosis induced by the negative charges of the gellan polymer, or were free of such added polymer and therefore exhibited an electroosmotic flow which is opposite to the DNA migration. In both cases, the viral DNA migrate in an oscillatory manner between stretched and coiled states, because it becomes entangled with the gellan gel fibers. In the stretched state of the cycle, the molecules are substantially aligned with the field. As the field is turned off, the alignment relaxes first by a rapid (seconds) stretch relaxation along the aligned path in the gel, followed by a slower (minutes) end-on type of motion to the equilibrium isotropic coil state. The added PEO has two effects on the DNA migration. An indirect effect is that the quenched electroosmosis leads to a stronger stretching of the DNA and to shorter cycle period times because the ends of the molecules move faster in the absence of the counter flow. A direct effect is that the PEO itself retards the DNA motion, most likely because of a combination of hydrodynamic interactions and entanglement effects. The net result of these two opposing PEO effects is that the center-of-mass velocity of the DNA increases by a factor of about 2 upon addition of PEO.

This system in turn plays a large role in regulating the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere on timescales of thousands of years and longer. Reconstructions of ocean pH and carbonate-ion concentration are therefore needed to understand the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the pH of the whole ocean is thought to have been significantly more basic(1), as inferred from the isotopic composition of boron incorporated into calcium carbonate shells, which would partially explain the lower atmospheric CO2 concentration at that time. Here we reconstruct carbonate-ion concentration-and hence pH-of the glacial oceans, using the extent of calcium carbonate dissolution observed in foraminifer faunal assemblages as compiled in the extensive global CLIMAP data set(2). We observe decreased carbonate-ion concentrations in the glacial Atlantic Ocean, by roughly 20 mumol kg(-1), while little change occurred in the Indian and Pacific oceans relative to today. In the Pacific Ocean, a small (5 mumol kg(-1)) increase occurred below 3,000 m. This rearrangement of ocean pH may be due to changing ocean circulation from glacial to present times, but overall we see no evidence for a shift in the whole-ocean pH as previously inferred from boron isotopes(1).

Using these PVTx data together with data obtained earlier by other authors, we developed a crossover Helmholtz free-energy model (CREOS) for pure toluene and dilute aqueous toluene solutions in a wide range of the parameters of state around the vapor-liquid critical points. In the temperature range 593 K less than or equal to T less than or equal to 680 K and density range 100 kg(.)m(-3) less than or equal to p less than or equal to 500 kg(.)m(-3), the CREOS reproduces the PVT data for pure toluene with an average absolute deviation (AAD) of about 0.5%, the C-P data with an AAD of about 1%, and the sound velocity data with an AAD of about 2.6%. In water + toluene mixtures, the CREOS yields an adequate description of all available experimental data in the region bounded by 0.35rho(c)(x) less than or equal to rho less than or equal to 1.65rho(c)(x) and 0.98T(c)(x) less than or equal to T less than or equal to 1.15T(c)(x) at x less than or equal to 0.04 mole fraction of toluene. The possibility of extrapolating the CREOS model to lower temperatures, 0.93T(c) less than or equal to T less than or equal toT(c) and higher densities and concentrations, up to rho = 2rho(c) and x = 0.12, is also discussed.

At 25 degreesC, formation of lattice gas (alpha) species at low coverages alters the herringbone structure by shortening the periodicity of the elbows from 25 to 15 nm. In addition, small beta-phase islands nucleate and grow anisotropically in regions of fcc stacking. These domains grow by incorporating nearby lattice gas species, consuming herringbone ridges and altering the remnant ridges that surround them. In a given domain, the beta-phase rows take one of the three [121] directions of the Au(111) surface. No beta-phase is found in regions of hcp stacking or in the bridge atom regions separating the fcc and hcp stacked regions. Increasing the coverage increases the beta-phase island size at the expense of herringbone ridges that bound the domains. For a coverage that saturates the beta-phase (similar to0.25 of the closest packing achievable), raising the temperature to 30 or 40 degreesC increases the average size of the beta-phase islands by condensation of neighboring islands with no evidence, at the selected coverage, for the presence of any other thiolate phase. At 60 degreesC, well above the thiolate melting point to form the epsilon-phase, small beta-phase domains remain. These are stabilized by boundaries of two types remnant herringbone and step edges and for a given domain, fluctuations of the distribution between the epsilon- and beta-phases were observed on a time scale of minutes.

Our findings are qualitatively similar to previous observations by Barnes et al. [Macromolecules 2000,33,4177-4185.] where the addition of fullerenes ("buckyballs", C-60) similarly inhibited the dewetting of thin polystyrene and polybutadiene films. Thus, dewetting inhibition by nanoparticles appears to be a general effect, although certain conditions apparently need to be met for its occurrence. Specifically, a general tendency for the particles to segregate to the solid substrate seems to be required and the interaction between the particles and polymer must not be too unfavorable. The phase boundaries of the dendrimer-polymer mixtures depend on the generation, the higher generation being more miscible in terms of mass fraction. This suggests that the driving force for the dendrimer to segregate to the boundary is varied by changing the generation number, thus giving rise to a dendrimer generational effect on dewetting suppression.

We investigate the influence of monomer structure on blend miscibility and scattering properties using the lattice cluster theory generalization of the FH model. Monomer structural asymmetry is shown to profoundly affect blend miscibility (T-c, phi(c)), chain swelling (T-theta), and the scale (xi) and intensity [S(0)] of composition fluctuations. Four distinct blend miscibility classes are identified and experimental evidence for these classes is discussed. C1 Univ Chicago, James Franck Inst, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

This is related to the phenomenon of superconductivity described by the seminal Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. In superconductivity, the phase transition is caused by a coupling between pairs of electrons within the medium. This coupling is perturbative and leads to a critical temperature T, which is small compared to the Fermi temperature T-F. Even high-T-c superconductors typically have a critical temperature which is two orders of magnitude below TF. Here we describe a resonance pairing mechanism in a quantum degenerate gas of potassium (K-40) atoms which leads to superfluidity in a novel regime - a regime that promises the unique opportunity to experimentally study the cross-over from the Bardeen - Cooper-Schrieffer phase of weakly-coupled fermions to the Bose-Einstein condensate of strongly-bound composite bosons. We find that the transition to a superfluid phase is possible at the high critical temperature of about 0.5T(F). It should be straightforward to verify this prediction, since these temperatures can already be achieved experimentally. C1 Univ Colorado, JILA, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

We expected the CPT signal to increase with higher vapor density, but instead the signal fades away above a certain density. Two possible density-dependent explanations are discussed: spin-exchange collisions, which are found to give no relevant contribution at the temperatures considered here, and increased absorption due to the optical thickness of the vapor. The dependence of the dark-line resonance amplitude as a function of cell temperature can be well represented by a simple model based on the optical thickness of the vapor as a function of temperature.

Mortality limits (ML) were calculated as the product of. a minimum estimate of abundance, one-half the maximum rate of increase and an uncertainty factor. Previous models show that if anthropogenic mortality is less than ML, a depleted population should recover to more than 80% of carrying capacity, meeting the conservation objectives of ASCOBANS. Minimum estimates of by-catches exceed ML for the population structure hypothesis tested. indicating that these catches will impede recovery. The same result was also evident for other hypothetical population structures. We conclude that immediate management actions are necessary to reduce the magnitude of by-catches to meet the conservation objectives of ASCOBANS. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This study describes a treatment that can dramatically reduce the survivorship of most organisms found in ballast waters while providing economic benefits to ship owners. Purging of oxygen from ballast tanks with nitrogen was recently found to be a cost-effective technique for reducing corrosion and therefore extending ship life We tested the tolerance of larvae of known invasive invertebrate species to low levels of oxygen, comparable with those resulting from the anticorrosion treatment, and detected significant levels of mortality. Two separate literature reviews further support the conclusion that few organisms will be able to withstand extended periods of exposure to nitrogen-treated ballast water. This novel deoxygenation technique may therefore have direct benefits to both marine conservation and the shipping industry (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Methods are not routinely available to measure the body burdens of contaminants in embryos and larvae, thus precluding the investigation of links between exposure and biological effects. Quantification of expression of cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) provides an index of relative exposure of natural populations to bioavailable aromatic hydrocarbons (AH) and an initial evaluation of their biological effects. We developed a quantitative approach to standardize total RNA loading and then used competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to quantify the CYP1A1 mRNA expression in environmentally exposed Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod) post yolk-sac larvae (postlarvae) from the Hudson River, New York, and in chemically treated postlarval offspring of controlled laboratory crosses of Hudson River parents. Significant induction of CYP1A1 expression was observed in tomcod postlarvae exposed to waterborne 3, 3',4, 4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 77) (four-fold) and benzo[ a] pyrene (eight-fold) compared with vehicle-exposed controls. In contrast, CYP1A1 was not induced in Hudson River-exposed postlarvae compared with vehicle-exposed controls. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using competitive RT-PCR for the measurement of gene expression in environmentally exposed larvae of sentinel species, and is consistent with the hypothesis that postlarvae exposed to the Hudson River environment have not bioaccumulated sufficient levels of AHs to induce CYP1A1 expression. The high levels of hepatic CYP1A1 mRNA expression previously reported in 5-8 month old juvenile tomcod from the Hudson River coincides with their descent to the benthic habitat and the onset of independent feeding on AH-contaminated benthic prey.

The main emphasis in the current design was to provide the ability to conduct a virtually unlimited number of realizations under essentially identical conditions in order to obtain reliable statistics on the dispersion of plumes and puffs released within the simulated atmospheric convective boundary layer. Described herein is the tank itself and its auxiliary systems, including a laser-induced-fluorescence and video-imaging system for making non-intrusive, full-field measurements of concentrations, and the interfacing of various subsystems with a master controller that automates essentially all operation and measurement functions. The current system provides unprecedented resolution, control, and data volumes. Example results are presented from two types of releases: continuous plumes and instantaneous puffs. These data sets clearly show penetration of the highly buoyant plumes and puffs into the inversion above the convective boundary layer, gravity spreading within the inversion, and rapid diffusion within the mixed layer. They also show extreme 'spottiness' in the instantaneous concentration cross-sections. C1 NOAA, Atmospher Sci Modeling Div, Air Resources Lab, Res Triangle Pk, NC 27711 USA.

The focus is on highly-buoyant plumes that loft near or become trapped in the CBL capping inversion and resist downward mixing. Such plumes are defined by dimensionless buoyancy fluxes F*greater than or similar to 0.1, where F* = F-b/(U w*(2) z(i)), F-b is the stack buoyancy flux, U is the mean wind speed, w* is the convective velocity scale, and z(i) is the CBL depth. The aim is to obtain statistically-reliable mean (C) and root-mean-square (rms, sigma(c)) concentration fields as a function of F* and the dimensionless distance X = w*x/(U z(i)), where x is the distance downstream of the source. The experiments reveal the following main results: (1) For 3 less than or equal to X less than or equal to 4 and F* greater than or equal to 0.1, the crosswind-integrated concentration (CWIC) fields exhibit distinctly uniform profiles below z(i) with a CWIC maximum aloft, in contrast to the nonuniform profiles obtained earlier by Willis and Deardorff. (2) The lateral dispersion (sigma(y)) variation with X is consistent with Taylor's theory for F*less than or equal to 0.1 and a buoyancy- enhanced dispersion, sigma(y)/z(i) proportional to F*X-1/3(2/3), for F* = 0.2 and 0.4. (3) The entrapment, the plume fraction above z(i), has a mean (E) that follows a systematic variation with X and F-*, and a variability (sigma(e)/E) that is broad (similar to 0.3 to 2) near the source but subsides to approximate to 0.25 far downstream. (4) Vertical profiles of the concentration fluctuation intensity (sigma(c)/C) are uniform for z < z(i) and X > 1.5, but exhibit significant increases: (a) at the surface and close to the source (X less than or similar to 1.5), and (b) in the entrainment zone. (5) The cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of the scaled concentration fluctuations (c'/sigma(c)) separate into mixed-layer and entrainment-layer CDFs for X greater than or equal to 2, with the mixed-layer group collapsing to a single distribution independent of z. These are the first experiments to obtain all components of the lateral and vertical dispersion parameters (rms meander, relative dispersion, total dispersion) for continuous buoyant releases in a convection tank. They also are the first tank experiments to demonstrate agreement with field observations of: (1) the scaled ground-level concentration along the plume centreline, and (2) the dimensionless lateral dispersion sigma(y)/z(i) of buoyant plumes.

Sustaining the diverse products and services expected from marine ecosystems requires a broad interdisciplinary approach. Here, we propose a three-step approach to implementation of EBFM that consists of goals, metrics, and management. Setting policy goals is an important first step in the fishery-management process. Goals must be translated into clear quantifiable terms, i.e., metrics. Metrics, alternatively referred to as performance measures or reference points, are used to indicate the status of system attributes. Multiple metrics will generally be needed to account for diverse, and possibly conflicting, societal goals. Biotic metrics range from single-species to whole-system attributes. Abiotic metrics describe environmental conditions. Human metrics describe human activities and are essential for managing human impacts. These metrics can serve as the basis for decision criteria and reference points for the management process. We illustrate our approach to EBFM using the groundfish trawl fishery system in the Georges Bank region of the northwest Atlantic.

On the U.S. west coast, periods of favorable and adverse conditions may last 30 yrs each. A constant-harvest-rate policy may work for long-lived fishes, (those with life spans comparable to or exceeding the duration of adverse conditions). Exploitation of short-lived fishes (species with life spans shorter than the duration of adverse conditions) benefits from policies that link harvest rate to environmental conditions, but a delayed response can be desirable. Therefore, rapid identification of regime shifts is not necessary but could provide advance notice of long-term changes in expected harvests. Planning horizons, especially for stock rebuilding, may have to be much longer than has been typical, even a century or more. During adverse periods little rebuilding may occur even after total cessation of fishing. Adverse species interactions like intraguild competition or 'cultivation effects' may prolong rebuilding or reduce sustainable yields. Management reference points like F-msy and B-msy can be strongly influenced by abundance of competitors. Importantly, B-msy of large predators may be well above half the unfished biomass if their removal releases smaller competitors. Although adverse interactions may be reversible, rebuilding of apex predators may require decades to centuries. C1 NMFS Santa Cruz Lab, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 USA.

Several policy aspects of the burden of proof issue should be clarified: what the default decision will be; who bears the burden of demonstrating that a change from the default is justified; what metric is used to decide on a change; and what rate of incorrect changes from the default is tolerable. Fishery decision making would benefit from more specificity about management goals, preagreement on how data will be used in reaching decisions, and an explicit linking of fishing levels to the degree of certainty of fish stock condition. Finally, we argue that a truly precautionary approach requires a broader philosophical outlook than seeing the oceans as simply providing exploitable resources. Management should aim to maintain all marine species as functioning components of their ecosystems and to permit a proposed activity only if it can be demonstrated not to have an adverse effect.

Vertebral growth bands provide an accurate indicator of age in young porbeagle, but age validation has never been reported for any large shark species past the age of sexual maturity. Here, we report the first application of bomb radiocarbon as an age validation method for long-lived sharks based on date-specific incorporation of radiocarbon into vertebral growth bands. Our results indicate that porbeagle vertebrae recorded and preserved a bomb radiocarbon pulse in growth bands formed during the 1960s. Through comparison of radiocarbon assays in young, known-age porbeagle collected in the 1960s with the corresponding growth bands in old porbeagle collected later, we confirm the validity of porbeagle vertebral growth band counts as accurate annual age indicators to an age of at least 26 years. The radiocarbon signatures of porbeagle vertebral growth bands appear to be temporally and metabolically stable and derived mainly from the radiocarbon content of their prey. Preliminary radiocarbon assays of shortfin mako vertebrae suggest that current methods for determining shortfin mako age are incorrect.

The present study compared the remineralization effects of these two rinses in an intraoral de- and remineralization model. The results showed that the 6 mmol/I F two-solution rinse produced greater remineralization in increasing lesion mineral contents and reducing lesion depths. The results demonstrated that the effectiveness of an F regimen depends less on the F dose and more on the ability of the treatment to utilize F efficiently for remineralization.

Results show that for some samples the degree of hydration is in fact higher at lower curing temperatures, To investigate this effect further, we performed a series of experiments in which samples are initially hydrated at one temperature and then the diffusion process limiting the long-term curing is monitored at a different temperature. The results confirm that the higher the initial curing temperature the more impervious are the product layers to later diffusion. In addition, it was found that the intrinsic activation energy for this diffusion process is much greater than the traditional values obtained using samples initially cured at different temperatures.

However, several technical problems have not been solved until now in spite of the growing interest in eBooks. eBook industries are using different document formats with the result of difficulty in exchanging and sharing eBook contents and reinvestment in developing the related software. The US and Japan have realized the importance of a standard document format for eBooks, so they have developed the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEB PS) and JepaX, respectively, with the support from government agencies and related industries. Recently, the Electronic Book of Korea (EBK) has established a working group and developed a standard format based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) for eBooks. The goals of the standard include the explicit exchange of eBook contents reflecting the characteristics of the Korean publishing environment, simplicity in creation and exchangeability with the related formats. The standard supports the logical structure of various document classes as well as advanced style control such as vertical writing and multi-column editing based on XSL.

In situ Raman spectra were collected at a number of temperatures as the coupon was heated and then cooled. The coupon also was characterized ex situ with Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry, and x-ray diffraction. Corrosion species were observed in situ at temperatures >249degreesC during heating and under all conditions during cooling. The species were identified as nickel monoxide (NiO) and alpha chromium (III) oxide hydroxide (alpha-CrOOH). The alpha-CrOOH originated as a corrosion product released from the optical cell and/or flow system. The NiO Raman features were more intense during cooling than at the corresponding temperatures during heating, indicating that NiO was present in greater amounts and/or was more crystalline during cooling.

Quantitative genetic studies are typically expensive and time-consuming to conduct, especially in some of the long-lived vertebrates of conservation concern. The present review of recent literature in fish conservation genetics examines the traditional role of molecular studies in describing conservation units and providing indirect inference about local adaptation and adaptive potential. Of special interest are approaches that use a combination of molecular and quantitative genetic methods. Such studies are likely to provide important new insights into many conservation-related problems. The review also explores how increasing interest in non-neutral molecular markers is contributing to our understanding of the geographic scale and evolutionary importance of local adaptation in threatened populations. It is increasingly clear that advanced genetic technologies for the exploration of neutral and non-neutral molecular variation are leading to a fundamental shift in the way complex phenotypic traits are studied. This new synthesis of methods will have dramatic implications for fish conservation genetics and biology in general. C1 NW Fisheries Sci Ctr, Conservat Biol Div, Seattle, WA 98112 USA.

We used a version of Ecopath/Ecosim models to evaluate changes in trophic interactions due to shark exploitation in the Central North Pacific. Fisheries targeted on blue sharks tend to produce compensatory responses that favor other shark species and billfishes, but they have only modest effects on the majority of food web components. Modest levels of intraguild predation (adult sharks that eat juvenile sharks) produce strong, nonlinear responses in shark populations. in general, analysis of the Central North Pacific model reveals that sharks are not keystone predators, but that increases in longline fisheries can have profound effects on the food webs that support sharks.

As with electrodeposition, the coverage of absorbed catalyst changes with surface area during interface evolution. The surface area decreases along the bottoms of submicrometer features, leading to increased coverage, thus increasing local deposition rates and thereby enabling superconformal filling. This result shows that this CEAC mechanism may be generally applied to understand inter-face evolution in surfactant mediated film growth processes. (C) 2002 The Electrochemical Society.

In addition, hot imprinted microchannels were hydrolyzed to yield additional charged organic functional groups on the imprinted surface. The charged groups are carboxylate moieties that were also used as a means for the further reaction of different chemical species on the surface of the PETG microchannels. The microchannels were characterized by fluorescence mapping and electroosmotic flow (EOF) measurements. Experimental results demonstrated that different fabrication and channel treatment protocols resulted in different EOF rates. Laser-ablated channels had similar EOF rates (5.3 +/- 0.3 x 10(-4) cm(2)/Vs and 5.6 +/- 0.4 x 10(-4) cm(2)/Vs) to hydrolyzed imprinted channels (5.1 +/- 0.4 x 10(-4) cm(2)/Vs), which in turn demonstrated a somewhat higher flow rate than imprinted PETG channels that were not hydrolyzed (3.5 +/- 0.3 x 10(-4) cm(2)/Vs). Laser-ablated channels that had been chemically modified to yield amines displayed an EOF rate of 3.38 +/- 0.1 X 10(-4) cm(2)/Vs and hydrolyzed imprinted channels that had been chemically derivatized to yield amines showed an EOF rate of 2.67 +/- 0.6 cm(2)/Vs. These data demonstrate that surface-bound carboxylate species can be used as a template for further chemical reactions in addition to changing the EOF mobility within microchannels.

In the course of these studies, we have used a variety of tags and tagging protocols to monitor individual animals. Here we report the use of molecular methods for the genetic analysis of nurse sharks. Specifically we have analyzed genetic variation at the MHC II alpha locus using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the amplified products. We found this technique to be a relatively rapid and reliable method for identifying genetic differences between individual sharks. Applying this method to a family of sharks consisting of a mother and 32 pups, we demonstrate that at least four fathers must have fathered this brood. Multiple paternity in the nurse shark suggests a mechanism by which populations of this species may maximize genetic variability. This seems especially valuable for philopatric species whose migratory movement, and thus potential for genetic diversity, is limited. C1 Albion Coll, Dept Biol, Albion, MI 49224 USA.

A liquid waveguide capillary flow cell has been used to extend the sensitivity of a conventional autoanalyzer for the automated analysis of nanomolar concentrations of phosphate in natural waters. Total reflection of light can be achieved within the liquid core of the flow cell because the refractive index of a cell wall coated with Teflon 1600 is lower than that of water. This property allows the manufacturers to construct long liquid waveguide capillary flow cells in a helical, rather than a linear shape, with compact dimensions. A small sample volume is required because the internal volume of a 2-m long capillary flow cell is only approximately 0,5 cm(3). Adaptation of this long flow cell to autoanalyzers significantly enhances the sensitivity of automated colorimetric analysis of phosphate with a molybdenum blue method, allowing for the accurate and precise determination of nanomolar concentrations of phosphate in natural waters. The advantages of this technique are a low detection limit (0.5 nM), a small sample volume (2 mL), high precision (2% at 10 nM levels), and automation for the rapid analysis of a large number of samples.

Field-trial data used for model evaluation included 161 separate trials of typical agriculture aerial applications under a wide range of application and meteorological conditions. Input for model simulations included information on the aircraft and spray equipment, spray material, meteorology, and site geometry. The model input datasets were generated independently of the field deposition results, i.e., model inputs were in no way altered or selected to improve the fit of model output to field results. AgDRIFT shows a response similar to that of the field observations for many application variables (e.g., droplet size, application height, wind speed). However, AgDRIFT is sensitive to evaporative effects, and modeled deposition in the far-field responds to wet bulb depression whereas the field observations did not. The model tended to over-predict deposition rates relative to the field data for far-field distances, particularly under evaporative conditions. AgDRIFT was in good agreement with field results for estimating near-field buffer zones needed to manage human, crop, livestock, and ecological exposure.

The flames were assumed to be soot-dominated with blackbody emission characteristics. The ambient surroundings near the flames were assumed to be homogeneous with the total pressure being fixed at one atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations were held constant at 0.04 kPa and the water vapor concentrations varied between 0.55-5.63 kPa based on temperature and relative humidity. The remaining partial pressures were accounted for by O-2 and N-2. Correlations to estimate atmospheric attenuation are given over a range of conditions that include path length (10-200 m), ambient temperature (19-35degreesC), source temperature (1000-1600degreesC) and relative humidity (0.25-1.0) as parameters. The results of these calculations indicate that, over this range of conditions, the radiant flux can be attenuated by as much as 42%. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

For stock assessment, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has conducted surveys of these species with a standardized hydraulic clam dredge since 1980. The sampling procedure has been to tow the dredge for 5 min at 0.77 m/s (i.e., 1.5 kn), which gives a nominal tow distance of 232 m. This indirect calculation does not include any sampling that may take place when the dredge is being set out or retrieved. To get a direct estimate of distance sampled, we placed sensors and a camera on the dredge to monitor bottom contact and towing speed. A total of 70 tows was made in May 1997 across a range of depths, typical of those made during clam surveys, and at a range of tow speeds and scopes (i.e., ratio of tow line length to bottom depth). For each tow, we counted the number of clams captured and estimated the distance sampled based directly on the sensor data. Actual distance sampled per tow was often 1.5-3 times greater than the nominal distance (timed tow), and tow distance increased with water depth. This occurred because the dredge sampled the bottom when it was being set out and hauled back to the ship. Consideration of actual tow distance changed conclusions regarding the effect of scope on catch rate of surfclams. In addition, data on tow distance and catch per tow allowed us to examine the spatial heterogeneity of the two clam species using a negative binomial model. Our findings suggest that estimating tow distances directly can improve estimates of biomass in clam resource surveys. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE bottom trawl; trawl surveys; tow duration; catchability AB A trawl tow duration experiment was conducted to determine whether a reduction in tow duration from 30 to 15 min on the annual bottom trawl survey of the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) would influence either the catch size distribution or catch per unit of swept area (CPUE) for snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio), Tanner crab (C bairdi) and red king crab (Paralithodes camtschatica). The experiment had a blocked experimental design with one 15 min and one 30 min tow completed at each of 94 stations. Mean size did not change significantly with tow duration for either sex of any species. Catch per swept area significantly increased with decreasing tow duration for snow and Tanner crab, but not for red king crab. The increase was independent of sex. On an average, the reduction in tow duration produced a 78% increase in CPUE for snow crab and a 68% increase for Tanner crab. If a similar increase in CPUE accompanied a change in duration on the surveys, continuity of the survey time series would be severely impacted. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

There has been a noticeable shift in the abundance of these predators during the last four decades which is generally attributed to fishing pressure. Although many fish persist as piscivores in this system, not only has their relative abundance changed but their size composition has also changed. Both factors influence the total magnitude of piscivory by these fish. To ascertain the cascading effects of fishing on fish predation, we examined relative abundance, total stomach contents, diet composition, consumption rates, and total food consumption of fish for several species across the time period. The proportion of the diet comprised by fish for piscivores on Georges Bank has remained remarkably consistent. However, the composition of specific fish prey has changed across the time series, Total fish consumption generally tracked predator abundance, but two species demonstrated compensating consumption rates as larger size classes declined. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, total fish consumption by six major predators has remained generally constant despite changes in predator size, structure and abundance. One reason for constant systemic piscivory is the dominant piscivore in this ecosystem has shifted from cod to spiny dogfish. We assert that a major effect of intense fishing pressure is a shift in energy flow for marine ecosystems. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Net efficiency data was collected by repeatedly towing with an experimental trawl consisting of the usual trawl net with an auxiliary net attached underneath which is designed to capture all fish escaping under the trawl footrope. Efficiency was estimated by the ratio of the catch from the trawl net to the combined catch from both nets. Estimates of net efficiency as a function of fish length were obtained by sequentially fitting a nested hierarchy of statistical models to the efficiency and length data for each species and choosing the best model using likelihood ratio tests. For flathead sole, Hippoglossoides elassodon; northern rock sole, Lepidopsetta sp. cf. bilineata Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis and Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus, net efficiency did not vary with body length and was always >0.94. For yellowfin sole, Limanda aspera, net efficiency increased with body length and reached an asymptotic maximum of 0.77. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Radiocarbon measurements of BC provide information on the residence time of BC in organic carbon pools like soils and sediments, and also provide information on the source of BC by distinguishing between fossil fuel and biomass combustion byproducts. We have optimized dichromate-sulfuric acid oxidation for the measurement of radiocarbon in BC. We also present comparisons of BC (14)C measurements on NIST aerosol SRM 1649a with previously published bulk aromatic (14)C measurements and individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) (14)C measurements on the same NIST standard. Dichromate-sulfuric acid oxidation belongs to the chemical class of BC measurement methods, which rely on the resistance of some forms of BC to strong chemical oxidants. Dilute solutions of dichromate-sulfuric acid degrade BC and marine-derived carbon at characteristic rates from which a simple kinetic formula can be used to calculate concentrations of individual components (Wolbach and Anders, 1989). We show that: ( 1) dichromate-sulfuric acid oxidation allows precise, reproducible (14)C BC measurements: (2) kinetics calculations give more precise BC yield information when per-formed on a % OC basis (vs. a % mass basis); (3) kinetically calculated BC concentrations are similar regardless of whether the oxidation is performed at 23degreesC or 50degreesC; and (4) this method yields (14)C BC results consistent with previously published aromatic (14)C data for an NIST standard. For the purposes of intercomparison, we report % mass and carbon results for two commercially available BC standards. We also report comparative data from a new thermal method applied to SRM 1649a, showing that thermal oxidation of this material also follows the simple kinetic sum of exponentials model, although with different time constants.

We also examined the species of commercially managed fish that are associated with coral. Soft corals, primarily Gersemia sp. (=Eunephthya sp.), were the most frequently encountered corals in the Bering Sea. In the Aleutian Islands gorgonian corals, primarily in the genera Callogorgia, Primnoa, Paragorgia, Thouarella, and Arthrogorgia were the most common corals. In the Gulf of Alaska, gorgonian corals, primarily in the genera Callogorgia and Primnoa, and cup corals, primarily 'Scleractinia unidentified', occurred most frequently. The Aleutian Islands area appears to have the highest abundance and diversity of corals. Some fish groups are associated with particular types of coral. Rockfish (Sebastes spp. and Sebastolobus alascanus) and Atka mackerel (Pleurogrammus monopterygius) were the most common fish captured with gorgonian, cup, and hydrocorals, whereas flatfish and gadids were the most common fish captured with soft corals.

Deepwater corals (Primnoa spp.) were observed from a manned submersible at 11 sites in the Gulf of Alaska from 1989 to 1997 at depths of 161-365 m. We identified 10 megafaunal groups that associate with Primnoa to feed on the coral, use the coral branches for suspension feeding, or for protection. Predators on Primnoa polyps included sea stars, nudibranchs, and snails. Sea stars were the main predators, consuming 45% and 34% of the polyps at two sites. Suspension-feeders included crinoids, basket stars, anemones, and sponges. Most suspension-feeders observed at depths >300 m were associated with Primnoa. Protection seekers included rockfish, crab, and shrimp. Six rockfish species were either beneath, among, or above Primnoa. Shrimp were among the polyps, and a pair of mating king crabs were beneath Primnoa. These observations indicate Primnoa are important components of the deepwater ecosystem and removal of these slow-growing corals could cause long-term changes in associated megafauna.

Some deep-water habitats, such as those formed by deep-water stands of coral, may be vulnerable to fishing disturbance. The rate at which habitat can be restored is a critical aspect of fishery management. The purpose of this study was to characterize growth rates for a habitat-forming deep-sea coral. Two nearly complete colonies of red tree coral (Primnoa resedaeformis) collected from waters off southeast Alaska were used for an analysis of age and growth characteristics. CAT scans revealed that colonies consisted of multiple settlement events, where older basal structures provided for settlement of new colonies. The decay of Pb-210 over the length of the colony was used to validate age estimates from growth ring counts. Age estimates were over 100 yr for sections near the heavily calcified base. Based on validated growth ring counts, growth of red tree coral ranged from 1.60 to 2.32 cm per year in height and was approximately 0.36 mm per year in diameter. These growth rates suggest that the fishery habitat created by red tree coral is extremely vulnerable to bottom fishing activities and may take over 100 years to recover.

It is a member of a ubiquitous group of benthic cnidarians called sea pens (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea). Sea pens have a skeletal structure, the axial rod, that in cross section exhibits growth rings. Pairs of adjacent rings, or ring couplets, were assumed to be annuli and were used to estimate the age and growth of H. willemoesi. Twelve axial rods, extracted from H. willemoesi collected in the Bering Sea, were selected to represent small (25-29 cm total length), medium (97-130 cm TL) and large (152-167 cm TL) colonies. Each rod resembled a tapered dowel; the thickest part (0.90-6.75 mm in diameter) was at about 5-10% of total length from the base tip, the distal part was more gradually tapered than was the base. The number of ring couplets increased with rod size indicating their utility in estimating age and growth. Estimated age among rods was based on couplet counts at the thickest part of each rod; the average estimated age (+/-SE) was 7.1+/-0.7, 19.3+/-0.5, and 44.3+/-2.0 yr for small, medium and large-size rods, respectively. Based on these estimated ages, average growth rate in total length was 3.9+/-0.2, 6.1+/-0.3, and 3.6+/-0.1 cm yr(-1) for small, medium, and large-size colonies. The average annual increase in maximum rod diameter among all colonies was 0.145+/-0.003 SE mm yr(-1); therefore, age prediction from maximum rod diameter was calculated (estimated age (yr) =7.0* (maximum rod diameter, mm) -0.2; R-2=0.99). At maximum diameter, the average couplet width was relatively constant among the three colony sizes (0.072+/-0.05 mm). X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analyses revealed that the inorganic portion of the rod is composed of a high-magnesium calcite. Radiometric validation of these age and growth rate estimates was attempted, but high amounts of exogenous Pb-210 precluded using the disequilibria of Pb-210:Ra-226. Instead Pb-210 activities were measured in a series of cores extracted along the axial rod. These activities ranged from 0.691+/-0.036 (SE) to 2.76+/-0.13 dpm g(-1), but there was no pattern of decay along the length of the rod; therefore, the growth rates and corresponding ages could not be validated. Based on estimated age from ring couplet counts, growth in total rod length is slow at first, fastest at medium size, and slows toward maximum size, with an estimated longevity approaching 50 yr.

The design field of the CMS superconducting magnet is 4 T, the magnetic length is 12.5 m and the free bore is 6 m. Approximately 2000 km of superconducting strand is under procurement for the conductor of the CMS superconducting solenoid. Each strand length is required to be an integral multiple of 2.75 km. The strand is composed of copper-stabilized multifilamentary Nb-Ti with Nb barrier. Individual strands are identified by distinctive patterns of Nb-Ti filaments selected during stacking of the monofilaments. The statistics of piece length, measurements of I-C, n-value, copper RRR, (Cu+Nb)/Nb-Ti ratio, as well as the results of independent cross checks of these quantities, are presented. A study was performed on the CMS strands to investigate the critical current degradation due to various heat treatments. The degradation versus annealing temperature and duration are reported.

The mechanical properties of this alloy at room temperature and 77 K are examined. The cold-rolled and aged MP35N produces a hardness of 5650 MPa and yield strength of 2125 MPa at room temperature. At 77 K, the yield strength reached 2500 MPa and the work hardening rate was higher than that at room temperature. The Young's modulus increases about 6% upon cooling from 300 to 5 K. Therefore, the increase of the strength at low temperatures is attributed mainly to the increase of the work hardening rate rather than modulus. The potential for further increasing of the strength of this alloy is discussed. C1 Natl High Magnet Field Lab, Tallahassee, FL 32306 USA.

The approach uses multiple paradigms to represent knowledge embedded in the design method. Semantic data modeling provides the means to represent concepts from a behavioral modeling technique, called Concurrent Object-Based Real-time Analysis (COBRA), which defines system behavior using data/control flow diagrams. Entity-Relationship modeling is used to represent a design metamodel based on a design method, called COncurrent Design Approach for Real-Time Systems (CODARTS), which represents concurrent designs as software architecture diagrams, task behavior specifications, and module specifications. Production rules provide the mechanism for codifying a set of CODARTS heuristics that can generate concurrent designs based on semantic concepts included in COBRA behavioral models and on entities and relationships included in CODARTS design metamodels. Together, the semantic data model, the entity-relationship model, and the production rules, when encoded using an expert-system shelf, compose CODA, an automated designer's assistant. Other forms of automated reasoning, such as knowledge-based queries, can be used to check the correctness and completeness of generated designs with respect to properties defined in the CODARTS design metamodel. CODA is applied to generate 10 concurrent designs for four real-time problems. The paper reports the degree of automation achieved by CODA. The paper also evaluates the quality of generated designs by comparing the similarity between designs produced by CODA and human designs reported in the literature for the same problems. In addition, the paper compares CODA with four other approaches used to automate software design methods. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

In this paper the authors describe the application of these indices outside semi-arid areas, in Poland, a country with a sufficient water supply. Two indices, Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) and Temperature Condition Index (TCI), were computed for the whole country for each week for a period of 14 years. These indices were correlated with cereal yield anomalies for each of 49 regions of Poland. Two critical periods in crop development were found: early spring (14-16 weeks of the year) and early summer (22-25 weeks) when the state of crop development determines the magnitude of yield. The indices computed for these two periods were used in a yield prediction model. The results were compared with data provided by the Central Statistical Office. The average error of cereal yield estimates for 49 regions was lower than 4%. C1 Remote Sensing & Spatial Informat Ctr, PL-00950 Warsaw, Poland.

NOAA AVHRR GVI (Global Vegetation Index) weekly maximum composite NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) data sets with a resolution of 16 km for the period of 1985 to 1998 (except 1995 due to missing data) provided by NOAA/NESDIS were used in this study. Nine soybean yield models, including eight principal production states and the country, were constructed using observed yield data and NDVI and/or TCI (Temperature Condition Index) data from 1985 to 1995. The data period of 1996 to 1998 was used to evaluate the model performance. The crop yield is generally affected by technological improvements through time and by the annual weather fluctuation. The contribution of technological improvements was approximated by trend term and weather-related fluctuations of yield around the trend were estimated through AVHRR-based indices. The results showed that four states had significant technological trend contribution with slopes ranging from 0.49 to 0.86 and R2 ranging from 0.22 to 0.62. In most of the models, yield variation around the trend was sensitive to TCI (Temperature Condition Index), during the period of the grain filling stage (end of January for northern states and mid February for the southern states). For most of the models, the determination coefficient (R-2) was higher than 0.6 and the root mean square error (RMSE) was lower than 10%. The results of model validation showed that the absolute errors were lower than 10% in 21 out of 27 cases tested. It is concluded that the satellite indices are useful for crop production monitoring. In the Brazilian soybean production region, where the summer crop season coincides with the rainy season, the temperature-based index is more informative about possible fluctuation of soybean yield and production in Brazil. It is suggested that a combination use of satellite and in situ data may likely improve the yield estimate.

The data span the temperature range 260 to 440 K and the pressure range 100 kPa to the lesser of 1500 kPa or 80% of the sample's vapor pressure. A small correction (0.003 to 0.06%) to the observed resonance frequencies was required to account for dispersion caused by the vibrational relaxation of chlorine. The speed-of-sound measurements have a relative standard uncertainty of 0.01%. The data were analyzed to obtain the ideal-gas heat capacity as a function of the temperature with a relative standard uncertainty of 0.1%. The reported values of C-p(o) are in agreement with those determined from spectroscopic data. The speed-of-sound data were fitted by virial equations of state to obtain the temperature dependent density virial coefficients. Two virial coefficient models were employed, one based on square-well intermolecular potentials and the second based on a hard-core Lennard-Jones intermolecular potential. The resulting virial equations reproduced the sound speed data to within 0.01% and may be used to calculate vapor densities with relative standard uncertainties of 0.1% or less.

Counterintuitively, as rho-->0, the maximum current density normal to the interface (J(n)(max)) keeps rising until ultimately limited by the superconductor's critical current density. This little known effect, which results from a singularly perturbed mixed boundary value problem, is studied theoretically by analytical and numerical methods, assuming Josephson coupling to be negligible. An approximate formula for J(n)(max) is found, and graphs of J(n)(max) and the junction resistance are computed. Three applications are considered, involving rho measurement, overlap wire joints, and high temperature superconductor composite tape.

This work shows how millimeter-wavelength dual-polarization radar can be used to identify these differing hydrometeors. It also shows that by measuring the depolarization ratio (DR), the estimation of the hydrometeor type can be accomplished deterministically for drizzle droplets; ice particles of regular shapes; and to a considerable extent, the more irregular ice particles, and that discrimination is strongly influenced by the polarization state of the transmitted microwave radiation. Thus, appropriate selection of the polarization state is emphasized. The selection of an optimal polarization state involves trade-offs in competing factors such as the functional dynamic range of DR, sensitivity to low-reflectivity clouds, and insensitivity to oscillations in the settling orientations of ice crystals. A 45degrees slant, quasi-linear polarization state, one in which only slight ellipticity is introduced, was found to offer a very good compromise, providing considerable advantages over standard horizontal and substantially elliptical polarizations. This was determined by theoretical scattering calculations that were verified experimentally in field measurements conducted during the Mount Washington Icing Sensors Project (MWISP). A selectable-dual-polarization K-a-band (8.66-mm wavelength) radar was used. A wide variety of hydrometeor types was sampled. Clear differentiation among planar crystals, columnar crystals, and drizzle droplets was achieved. Also, differentiation among crystals of fundamentally different shapes (aspect ratios) within each of the planar and columnar families was found possible. These distinctions matched calculations of DR, usually to within 1 or 2 dB. The results from MWISP and from previous experiments with other polarizations have demonstrated that the agreement between theory and measurements by this method is repeatable. Additionally, although less rigorously predicted by theory, the field measurements demonstrated substantial differentiation among the more irregular and more spherical ice particles, including aggregates, elongated aggregates, heavily rimed dendrites, and graupel. Measurable separation between these various irregular ice particle types and drizzle droplets was also verified. C1 NOAA, Environm Technol Lab, OAR, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

Radar reflectivity at horizontal polarization Z(h), differential reflectivity Z(DR), linear depolarization ratio LDR, specific differential phase K-DP, cross-correlation coefficient \rho(hv)\, and two co-cross-polar correlation coefficients, rho(xh) and rho(xv), have been measured and examined for two rain events: the 14 August 1998 case in Florida and the 8 August 1998 case in Colorado. Examination of the coefficients rho(xh) and rho(xv) is the major focus of the study. It is shown that hydrometeors with different types of orientation can be better delineated if the coefficients rho(xh) and rho(xv) are used. Rough estimates of the raindrop mean canting angles and the rms width of the canting angle distribution are obtained from the co-cross-polar correlation coefficients in combination with other polarimetric variables. Analysis of the two cases indicates that the raindrop net canting angles averaged over the propagation paths near the ground in typical convective cells do not exceed 2.5degrees. Nonetheless, the mean canting angles in individual radar resolution volumes in rain can be noticeably higher. Although the net canting angle for individual convective cells can deviate by a few degrees from zero, the average over a long propagation path along several cells is close to zero, likely because canting angles in different cells vary in sign. The rms width of the canting angle distribution in rain is estimated to vary mainly between 5degrees and 15degrees with the median value slightly below 10degrees.

Whenever numerical forecast models are validated and compared, verification winds are normally interpolated to individual model grid points. To be statistically significant, differences between model and verification data must exceed the uncertainty of verification winds due to instrument error, sampling, and interpolation. This paper will describe an approach to examine the uncertainty of interpolated boundary layer winds and illustrate its practical effects on model validation and intercomparison efforts. This effort is part of a joint model validation project undertaken by the Environmental Verification and Analysis Center at the University of Oklahoma (http://www.evac.ou.edu) and the Battlefield Environment Directorate of the Army Research Laboratory. The main result of this study is to illustrate that it is crucial to recognize the errors inherent in gridding verification winds when conducting model validation and intercomparison work. Defendable model intercomparison results may rely on proper scheduling of model tests with regard to seasonal wind climatology and choosing instrument networks and variogram functions capable of providing adequately small errors due to sampling and imperfect modeling. Thus, it is important to quantify verification wind uncertainty when stating forecast errors or differences in the accuracy of forecast models. C1 Univ Oklahoma, Dept Geog, Norman, OK 73019 USA.

The adiabatic electron affinity of Si2C3, corresponding to the transition from the linear anion to the lowest electronic state of the linear singlet neutral, is found to be 1.766+/-0.012 eV. Theoretical results were essential for interpreting the spectrum. The level of theory necessary to accurately describe the electronic structure of Si2C3 cluster isomers is presented and discussed. Several vibration frequencies for the neutral linear structure are obtained from the spectra and compared to results from different levels of theory. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

However, these parameters are often assumed spatially uniform due to the problem of obtaining the necessary data. This paper presents a method for obtaining spatially varying critical wind stress and spatially varying change in concentration by settling in Florida Bay. As a means to get critical wind stress, a simple model for estimating suspended sediment concentration was implemented. The model has one time-dependent input, wind stress; and four time-independent inputs: maximum concentration, minimum concentration, temporal scale of sediment settling decay, and critical wind stress. Maximum concentration, minimum concentration, and temporal scale of sediment concentration settling decay were derived from time series of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Temporal scale of settling was determined using a simple model of concentration change with wind mixing of the water column. The critical wind stress for resuspension was obtained by optimizing the error between the model's results and the observed concentrations. The modeled sediment concentration performed best in areas where wind was the only dominant forcing agent rather than in areas where advection may also play a significant role. Incorporating this approach into standard modeling of sediment circulation can provide better information on the occurrence and potential for resuspension.

Several distinct formulations of the adiabatic approximation have been proposed in the literature on modal propagation. These formulations differ in the predicted values of mode amplitudes and, hence, in their reciprocity and energy-conserving proper-ties. The formulations are compared with respect to their accuracy and domain of validity, assuming small and smooth variation of mode propagation constants characteristic of underwater acoustic waveguides. Perturbation theory for horizontal (modal) rays is used in the analysis. An approximate expression for the adiabatic mode amplitude in 3-D problems is derived which requires environmental information only along the source-receiver radial and which has greater accuracy than previous formulations. It is shown that the uncoupled azimuth approximation, also known as the N x 2-D approximation, overestimates travel times of ray arrivals as well as phases of adiabatic normal modes in a horizontally-inhomogeneous ocean. The travel time and phase biases rapidly increase with the value of cross-range environmental gradients and propagation range. Simple and explicit expressions for leading-order corrections to the travel time and the phase are found in terms of path-averaged cross-range environmental gradients. Implications on applicability of the uncoupled azimuth approximation for sound propagation modeling in a horizontally-inhomogeneous ocean are discussed. A perfect-wedge model of the coastal ocean is chosen to illustrate the importance of the travel-time and phase biases due to horizontal refraction.

However, when CPC was used in periodontal repair, tooth mobility resulted in the fracture and exfoliation of the brittle implants, The aim of this study was to develop CPC-chitosan lactate composites with higher strength and increased strain before failure. It was hypothesized that the incorporation of chitosan lactate would render CPC non-rigid with improved proper-ties, Two-way ANOVA showed significant effects of chitosan lactate and powder:liquid ratio (p < 0.001) on flexural strength, strain-at-peakload, work-of-fracture, and elastic modulus. At powder:liquid = 2, the strength (mean +/- SD; n = 6) at 20% chitosan lactate was 15.7 +/- 1.3 MPa, higher than 4.9 +/- 1.4 MPa of CPC without chitosan lactate. At powder:liquid = 1, the strain-at-peakload was 0.2% for CPC without chitosan lactate; it increased to 15.8% for CPC containing 15% chitosan lactate. The work-of-fracture was increased by more than ten times. The novel strong and non-rigid CPC may provide compliance for tooth mobility without fracturing the implant, and may also extend the use of CPC into the repair of larger defects in stress-bearing locations.

A novel method, involving the use of an anesthetic, allowed the collection of large numbers of parasites from the skin and gills of hybrid striped bass (Morone saxatilis male X M. chrysops female). Genomic DNA from these samples was used to amplify and clone the 18S rRNA gene. The 18S rRNA gene was similarly cloned from Bodo caudatus, Bodo edax, Bodo saltans, an unidentified Bodo species, and Dimastigella trypaniformis. The resulting sequences were aligned with other representative kinetoplastid species using pileup and similarities in secondary structure. Phylogenetic relationships within the suborder Bodonina and representatives of the suborder Trypanosomatina were determined using maximum-likelihood statistics. The phylogenetic analyses strongly supported the order Kinetoplastida as a monophyletic assemblage consisting of at least two major lineages. One lineage consisted exclusively of I. necator, indicating that it may represent a new suborder. The second lineage consisted of all other kinetoplastid species, This second lineage appeared to contain at least 8 bodonine sublineages, none of which correlated With currently recognized families, For three sublineages, there was a close correspondence between the 18S phylogeny and the classical taxonomy of Dimastigella, Rhynchobodo, and Rhynchumonas. In contrast, Bodo and Cryptobia were polyphyletic, containing species in two or more sublineages that may represent separate genera.

In past work, the P/S values of handgun OGSR and cartridges loaded with known gunpowders were evaluated. In this study, gunpowder and residue samples were obtained from seven boxes of commercial 38 caliber ammunition with the goals of associating cartridges within a box and matching residues to unfired powders, based on the P/S value and the qualitative identity of the additives. Gunpowder samples from four of the seven boxes of ammunition could be easily differentiated. When visual comparisons of the cartridge powders were considered in addition to composition, powder samples from all seven boxes of ammunition could be reliably differentiated. Handgun OGSR was also collected and evaluated in bulk as well as for individual particles. In some cases. residues could be reliably differentiated based on P/S and additive identity. It was instructive to evaluate the composition of individual unfired gunpowder and OGSR particles. We determined that both the numerical centroid and dispersity of the P/S measurements provide information for associations and exclusions. Associating measurements from residue particles with those of residue samples collected from a test firing of the same weapon and ammunition appears to be a useful approach to account for any changes in composition that occur during the firing process.

The resulting field can be evaluated outside or inside the sphere, assuming that density of the shell varies with latitude, longitude, and radial distance. To simplify, the density (or magnetization) source inside the sphere is assumed to be the product of a surface function and a power series expansion of the radial distance. This formalism is applied to compute the gravity signal of a steady, dry atmosphere. It provides geoid/gravity maps at sea level as well as satellite altitude. Results of this application agree closely with those of earlier studies, where the atmosphere contribution to the Earth's gravity field was determined using more time-consuming methods.

The method uses series expansions and the well known one-dimensional fast Fourier transform (1-D FFT) method. It has been proven to be significantly faster than quadrature while being equally accurate. Various quantities were studied to cover the two primary applications of the Stokes-Helmert scheme of modeling effects. These two applications (or paths), given the names R/r/D and R/D/r, are briefly discussed, although the primary objective of the paper is to provide computational information to either path, rather than choosing one path as preferable to the other. It is further shown that the impact of masses outside a 4-degree cap can impact the absolute computation of the geoid at more than I cm, and should therefore be included in all local geoid computations seeking that accuracy.

Creep tests in four-point bending for 950 degreesC < T < 1350 degreesC and 15 MPa < sigma < 75 MPa in air demonstrated that all three compositions shared a common stress dependence, n = 1.49 +/- 0.10, and a common apparent activation energy, Q = 426 9 kJ/mol. Despite this agreement, the creep rates of the different compositions depended on grain size in different ways: P = 3.1 +/- 0.2 for z = 0.98, and p = 1.9 +/- 0.1 for z = 0.95. The measured apparent activation energy, Q, for creep is similar, though statistically significantly smaller, than that measured in another LSGM. Both are nearly twice as large as reported activation energies for cation impurity diffusion. The absolute magnitude of the creep rates, after correction for grain size, were 30 to 100 times slower than in another LSGM of similar composition. C1 NIST, Div Ceram, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

This consigns it to a family of well-known adherence molecules essential for cell communication and the development of 3-dimensional tissue structures. Cytonectin is expressed in a variety of organs and tissues, being evolutionarily conserved from human to avian species. It is hypothesized to serve as a key structural component of the body, and as a "do not attack" signal molecule that prevents tissue destruction by cells of monocyte lineage. This paper describes the properties of cytonectin and its proposed role in normal and disease states. The protein is overexpressed in Alzheimer disease entorhinal cortex as compared to normal age-matched controls. It is also detected in tissues from patients with Down syndrome and leukemia. Its presence in all 3 of these related conditions may prove important to their etiopathogenesis. C1 VCU, Med Coll Virginia, Dept Pathol, Div Neuropathol, Richmond, VA 23298 USA.

Enthalpy of formation values for the C1 and C2 chlorinated hydrocarbons are highly cross-linked by various measured reaction equilibria and currently available sets of values are not internally self-consistent. It is shown that the early static bomb combustion calorimetry studies on highly chlorinated compounds generally give enthalpies of formation that are systematically more positive than later values derivable from rotating bomb combustion or equilibria studies. Those previously recommended values which were based mainly on the early static bomb work therefore need substantial revision. On the basis of more recent literature data obtained with rotating bomb combustion calorimetry, together with analyses of literature data on other reaction enthalpies and equilibria involving chlorinated hydrocarbons, an updated self-consistent set of Delta(f)H(o)[298.15 K] values for closed shell chlorinated C1 and C2 hydrocarbons (25 compounds) is recommended. Data on the enthalpies of vaporization are also reviewed and values of Delta(vap)H[298.15 K] and Delta(vap)H(o)[298.15 K] are recommended. The presently suggested enthalpies of formation for highly chlorinated alkenes and alkanes (particularly C2Cl4, C2HCl3, C2HCl5, and C2Cl6) are significantly (8-15 kJ mol(-1)) more negative than given by most previous evaluators. Values for the chloroethynes are 10-25 kJ mol(-1) more positive than given in previous reviews and more limited changes are suggested for other compounds in the series.

This work takes advantage of several developments since the publication of the best previous formulation: the availability of some new data in the lower part of the temperature range, the adoption of the ITS-90 temperature scale, and the adoption of recommended values for the critical constants by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS). The new formulation fits the available data within their scatter across the entire temperature range, and is constrained to pass through the values recommended by IAPWS for the critical point. The previous formulation can be made to provide a similarly good fit if its input temperatures are converted from ITS-90 to IPTS-68 before the vapor pressure is computed. The new formulation offers the advantage of computation without having to perform a temperature conversion. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

Our calculation focuses on the so-called 'two-loop self-energy' involving two-virtual closed photon loops. For-bound states, this correction has proved to be notoriously difficult to evaluate. The calculation of the binding corrections to the bound state two-loop self-energy is simplified by a separate treatment of hard and soft virtual photons. The two photon-energy scales are matched at the end of the calculation. We explain the significance of the mathematical methods employed in the calculation in a more general context, and present results for the fine-structure difference of the two-loop self energy through the order of alpha(8).

In this study, we document the first observations showing a freely, swimming calanoid copepod, Skistodiaptomus oregonensis, attacking prey-sized, non-motile, inert particles entrained in the feeding current before the particles contact the copepods sensory, appendages. Feeding current geometry, fluid velocities and associated behaviours that characterize these interactions are described. The results of this study show how copepod swimming behaviour coupled with a low-velocity feeding current, not only increases copepod encounter rates with inert pray by increasing direct contact rates, but also increases the probability, of detecting and capturing remotely, located prey that have well-developed escape responses. In turbulent regimes, a far-reaching, low-velocity feeding current should increase encounter rates, but only if coupled with behaviours that quickly, minimize separation distances once prey is detected.

These results were analyzed at frequencies in the most transparent regions of various microwindows in order to study the far wings of self- and H-2-broadened lines in the R-branch of the nu(4) band. The experimental results were compared with synthetic spectra computed from the addition of Lorentzian line contributions. From such comparisons it appears that the high-frequency wings of the lines of the Q-branch decay more rapidly than do Lorentz wings. At higher wave numbers, the measured absorption tends to be equal and then less than the computed Lorentz absorption, although these deviations may not be significant in view of the uncertainties of the measurements and line parameters used in the computed spectra. Nonetheless, the computed absorption when including line coupling is in better overall agreement with the experiment and confirms the role of the Q-branch in producing the sub-Lorentzian absorption noted above.

The Visible Cement Data Set represents a collection of 3-D data sets obtained using the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France in September 2000. Most of the images obtained are for hydrating portland cement pastes, with a few data sets representing hydrating Plaster of Paris and a common building brick. All of these data sets are being made available on the Visible Cement Data Set website at http://visiblecement.nist.gov. The website includes the raw 3-D datafiles, a description of the material imaged for each data set, example two-dimensional images and visualizations for each data set, and a collection of C language computer programs that will be of use in processing and analyzing the 3-D microstructural images.

To identify and understand such phenomena, we model a network as a two-dimensional cellular automaton. We suspect such models can promote better understanding of the spatial-temporal evolution of network congestion, and other emergent phenomena in communication networks. To search the behavior space of the model, we study dynamic patterns arising from interactions among traffic flows routed across shared network nodes, as we employ various configurations of parameters and two different congestion-control algorithms. In this paper, we characterize correlation in congestion behavior within the model at different system sizes and time granularities. As expected, we find that long-range dependence (LRD) appears at some time granularities, and that for a given network size LRD decays as time granularity increases. As network size increases, we find that long-range dependence exists at larger time scales. To distinguish effects due to network size from effects due to collective phenomena, we compare congestion behavior within networks of selected sizes to congestion behavior within comparably sized sub-areas in a larger network. We find stronger long-range dependence for sub-areas within the larger network. This suggests the importance of modeling networks of sufficiently large size when studying the effects of collective dynamics. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

GD&T is difficult to master for two main reasons. First, it is based on complex 3D geometric entities and relationships. Second, the geometry is associated with a large, diverse knowledge base of dimensional metrology with many interconnections. This paper describes an approach to create a dimensional metrology knowledge base that is organized around a set of key concepts and to represent those concepts as virtual objects that can be navigated with interactive, computer visualization techniques to access the associated knowledge. The approach can enable several applications. First is the application to convey the definition and meaning of GD&T over a broad range of tolerance types. Second is the application to provide a visualization of dimensional metrology knowledge within a control hierarchy of the inspection process. Third is the application to show the coverage of interoperability standards to enable industry to make decisions on standards development and harmonization efforts. A prototype system has been implemented to demonstrate the principles involved in the approach. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Optical velocimetry shows that sharkskin can occur under a variety of polymer/wall boundary conditions; stick, slip, or oscillating stick/slip, demonstrating that the flow boundary condition is not the direct cause of sharkskin. Downstream of the exit, high-speed video microscopy reveals two distinct material failures during each sharkskin cycle, the first is cohesive and splits the material into two regions, the second one occurs at the polymer-wall interface. Upon modification of the surface with a polymer processing additive (PPA), we confirm strong slip at the wall and a suppression of sharkskin, but find that sharkskin does return at sufficiently high flow rates. The extensional strain rate at the onset of shark-skin is significantly higher in the case with PPA than that without. We then empirically define a "reconfiguration rate" and find it is comparable at the onset of sharkskin for the two surface conditions, We use data in the literature to;how that the reconfiguration rate also predicts the relationship observed between the onset of sharkskin and the capillary radius.

The Ge island shape, size distribution, number density and spatial distribution under various growth conditions, such as different substrate temperatures, Ge beam fluxes, and annealing times, are investigated. By limiting the growth to a low coverage of 6 NIL of Ge, we find that either a low growth temperature (less than or equal to875 K) or a high beam flux can produce films dominated by pyramids of {105} facets. Domes of higher aspect ratios only appear at high growth temperatures or after a long time of annealing at low temperatures. This indicates that in the competition between the different kinetic processes responsible for the pyramid and dome formation, the domes require a higher activation energy and grow slower. We also demonstrate that appropriate annealing at low temperature can form locally ordered arrays of pyramids, with a narrow, size distribution. (C) 2002 American Vacuum Society.

SP Amer Vacuum Soc, IEEE Electron Device Soc, Opt Soc Amer ID ACID-CATALYZED DEPROTECTION; RESIST MATERIALS; KINETICS AB A combinatorial research methodology is outlined with the potential to investigate material factors in photoresist formations more rapidly than with traditional experimental design. The approach involves generating a gradient. of processing variables in the photoresist film and using a set of analysis tools to "map" the photoresist properties as a function of the gradient variables. While high-thruoghput strategies have proven useful for empirical optimization of photoresist processing conditions, they have not been fully exploited to probe the complex array of material issues in projection lithography. Of primary importance in combinatorial methodologies is the generation of variable gradients. The focus of this article is to) illustrate techniques to generate a gradient in bake temperature and bake time in the polymer films, and to illustrate that these gradient techniques can be used to probe fundamental properties of lithographic materials, such as deprotection kinetics. These gradient techniques were applied to rapidly probe the deprotection behavior of a poly (tertbutyloxy-carbonyloxy-styrene). The deprotection data, obtained by applying the combinatorial gradients, agrees well with previous literature, validating the accuracy of these high throughput methods. The advantage of the combinatorial research strategies lies in the potential to investigate fundamental lithographic phenomena more rapidly than with traditional experimentation.

The proportion of DON utilized ranged from 0 to 73%. Overall, urban/suburban storm water runoff had a higher proportion of bioavailable DON (59% +/- 11) compared to agricultural pastures (30% +/- 14) and forests (23% +/- 19). DON bioavailability varied seasonally; however, the seasonal pattern differed for the three sources. Bacterial production increased linearly with the amount of DON utilized across all sources and seasons; the rate of increase was approximately five times greater per micromole of N as DON used relative to dissolved inorganic N (DIN) used. Although phytoplankton production generally increased with DON addition, the increased production was not correlated with the amount of DON utilized, suggesting that a variable portion of dissolved organic matter (DOM)-N was directly or indirectly available to the phytoplankton. This indicates that phytoplankton production is not a good measure of the amount of bioavailable DON, and measurements of the amount of bioavailable DON based on bacterial responses alone might not reflect N available to phytoplankton. Preliminary seasonal budgets of bioavailable N (DIN plus bioavailable DON) as a function of land use suggest that similar to80% of the total dissolved N (TDN) from urban/suburban runoff is bioavailable, whereas a lower proportion (20-60%) of TDN is bioavailable from forests and pastures. N budgets for aquatic ecosystems based on only DIN loading underestimate bioavailable N loading, whereas total N or TDN budgets overestimate bioavailable N inputs.

The sediment data have been used to define the status or geographic distribution of chemical concentrations (Daskalakis, K. D., & O'Connor, T. P (1995). Distribution of chemical contamination in coastal and estuarine sediments. Marine Environmental Research 40, 381-398) and the molluscan data have provided an estimate of temporal trends (O'Connor, T. P. (1996). Trends in chemical concentrations in mussels and oysters collected along the US coast from 1986 to 1993. Marine Environmental Research 41,183-200, O'Connor, T. P. (1998). Mussel Watch results from 1986 to 1996. Marine Pollution Bulletin 37, 14-19). This paper centers on chemical concentrations in mollusks at 263 sites around the United States. It provides perspective on concentration ranges and on geographic distributions. For most organic chemicals and lead, concentrations vary in proportion to numbers of people living near a site. For elements, other than lead, high concentrations in mollusks can be due more to natural factors than to human activity. Concentrations of PAHs in tissues of mussels from urban areas are in a range reported to exert biological responses. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

However, real-world examples of how this potential wealth of data has been used in environmental management are few, and far between. We describe in detail two examples where near real-time data are being used for the benefit of science and management. These include a prediction of coral bleaching events using temperature, light and wind as primary predictor variables, and the management of a coastal development where dynamic discharge quality limits are maintained with the aid of wind data as a proxy for turbidity in receiving waters. We argue that the limiting factors for the use of near real-time environmental data in management is frequently not the availability of the data, but the lack of knowledge of the quantitative relationships between biological/physical processes or events and environmental variables. We advocate renewed research into this area and an integrated approach to the use of a wide range of data types to deal with management issues in an innovative, cost-effective manner.

The technique consists of the sequential application of a single-Doppler velocity retrieval (SDVR), followed by a variational velocity adjustment, a thermodynamic retrieval, and a moisture specification step. By utilizing a sequence of retrievals in this manner, some of the difficulties associated with full-model adjoints (possible solution nonuniqueness and large computational expense) can be circumvented. In Part I, the SDVR procedure and present results from its application to a deep-convective storm are discussed. Part II focuses on the thermodynamic retrieval and subsequent numerical prediction. For the SDVR, Shapiro's reflectivity conservation-based method is adapted by applying it in a moving reference frame. Verification of the retrieved wind fields against corresponding dual-Doppler analyses indicates that the best skill scores are obtained for a reference frame moving with the mean wind, which effectively reduces the problem to a perturbation retrieval. A decomposition of the retrieved wind field into mean and perturbation components shows that the mean wind accounts for a substantial portion of the total retrieved azimuthal velocity. At low levels, where the retrieval skill scores are especially good, the retrieved perturbation azimuthal velocity is mostly associated with the polar component of vorticity. Missing from the retrieved fields (compared to the dual-Doppler analysis) is most of the low-level azimuthal convergence. Consistent with this result, most of the retrieved updraft is associated with convergence of the perturbation radial velocity, which is calculated from the observed radial velocity and directly used in the wind retrieval.

Part II: Thermodynamic retrieval and numerical prediction SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID SIMULATED CONVECTIVE STORMS; MOUNTAIN WAVES; MICROPHYSICS; HELICITY; TIME AB In this two-part study, a single-Doppler parameter retrieval technique is developed and applied to a real-data case to provide model initial conditions for a short-range prediction of a supercell thunderstorm. The technique consists of the sequential application of a single-Doppler velocity retrieval (SDVR), followed by a variational velocity adjustment, a thermodynamic retrieval, and a moisture specification step. In Part I, the SDVR procedure is described and results from its application to a supercell thunderstorm are presented. In Part II, results from the thermodynamic retrieval and the numerical model prediction for this same case are presented. For comparison, results from parallel sets of experiments using dual-Doppler-derived winds and winds obtained from the simplified velocity retrieval described in Part I are also shown. Following the SDVR, the retrieved wind fields (available only within the storm volume) are blended with a base-state background field obtained from a proximity sounding. The blended fields are then variationally adjusted to preserve anelastic mass conservation and the observed radial velocity. A Gal-Chen type thermodynamic retrieval procedure is then applied to the adjusted wind fields. For all experiments (full retrieval, simplified retrieval, and dual Doppler), the resultant perturbation pressure and potential temperature fields agree qualitatively with expectations for a deep-convective storm. An analysis of the magnitude of the various terms in the vertical momentum equation for both the full retrieval and dual-Doppler experiments indicates a reasonable agreement with predictions from linear theory. In addition, the perturbation pressure and vorticity fields for both the full retrieval and dual-Doppler experiments are in reasonable agreement with linear theory predictions for deep convection in sheared flow. Following a simple moisture specification step, short-range numerical predictions are initiated for both retrieval experiments and the dual-Doppler experiment. In the full single-Doppler retrieval and dual-Doppler cases, the general storm evolution and deviant storm motion are reasonably well predicted for a period of about 35 minutes. In contrast, the storm initialized using the simplified wind retrieval decays too rapidly, indicating that the additional information obtained by the full wind retrieval (primarily low-level polar vorticity) is vital to the success of the numerical prediction. Sensitivity experiments using the initial fields from the full retrieval indicate that the predicted storm evolution is strongly dependent on the initial moisture fields. Overall, the numerical prediction results suggest at least some degree of short-term predictability for this storm and provide an impetus for continued development of single-Doppler retrieval procedures.

The satellite-derived wind observations are retrieved through an automated tracking algorithm using water vapor visible, and infrared imagery from the operational Geostationary Meteorological Satellite-5 (GMS-5) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-9 (GOES-9) over the North Pacific basin. For the case studied, it is found that the amount of satellite wind data is much greater in the upper troposphere than in the lower troposphere. The 4DVAR assimilation of the satellite wind observations is carried out on a single domain with 90-km horizontal resolution. Incorporation of satellite wind observations was found to increase the cyclonic zonal wind shear and the cross-front temperature gradient associated with the simulated cyclone. However, the improvement in the intensity of the simulated cyclone measured by the central sea level pressure is marginal using the same assimilation model. Increasing the forecast model resolution by nesting a 30-km resolution domain yields a more significant impact of the satellite-derived wind data on the cyclone intensity prediction. The GMS-5 satellite winds (upstream data) are found to have more influence on the quality of the cyclone development than the GOES-9 satellite winds (downstream data). An adjoint sensitivity study confirms that the most sensitive region is located upstream of the cyclone, and that the cyclone is more sensitive to the lower rather than the upper atmosphere. Therefore, it is anticipated that larger impacts on cyclone prediction in the mid-Pacific Ocean will occur when a greater or equal amount of satellite wind observations are made available for the lower troposphere as are available for the upper levels.

Four different products are evaluated: reanalyses from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), satellite-derived data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imaging (SSM/I) platform and the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), and an atmospheric GCM developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) as part of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) II. For this study, comparisons between the datasets are restricted to the dominant air-sea mode. The stability of a coupled model using only the dominant mode and the associated predictive skill of the model are strongly dependent on which atmospheric product is used. The model is unstable and oscillatory for the ECMWF product, damped and oscillatory for the NCEP and GFDL products, and unstable (nonoscillatory) for the satellite product. The ocean model is coupled with patterns of wind stress as well as heat fluxes. This distinguishes the present approach from the existing paradigm for ENSO models where surface heat fluxes are parameterized as a local damping term in the sea surface temperature (SST) equation.

Few studies, however, have investigated this highly dynamic response at relevant temporal and spatial scales. A combination of leaf and whole-tree measurements and stand-level extrapolations were used to assess how stomatal conductance, canopy transpiration and conductance, and evapotranspiration might be affected by future, higher CO2 concentrations. Midday measurements of stomatal conductance for leaves sampled in a 12-yr-old sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) stand exposed to free-air CO2 enrichment were up to 44% lower at elevated than at ambient CO2 concentrations, whereas canopy conductance, averaged over the growing season, was only 14% lower in stands exposed to CO2 enrichment. The magnitude of this response was dependent on vapor pressure deficit and soil water potential. Annual estimates of evapotranspiration showed relatively small reductions due to atmospheric CO2 enrichment. These data illustrate that the hydrological response of a closed-canopy plantation to elevated CO2 depends on the temporal and spatial scale of observation. They emphasize the importance of interacting variables and confirm that integration of measurements over space and time reduce what, at the leaf level, might otherwise appear to be a large and significant response.

Recent research has indicated that more than one cholinesterase may be present in tissues of estuarine organisms and that these cholinesterases vary in their sensitivity to organophosphorus insecticides. Baseline cholinesterase activity for adult grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) was determined with four substrates (acetylthiocholine iodide, acetyl-beta-methylthiocholine iodide, propionylthiocholine iodide, S-butyrylthiocholine iodide) and three cholinesterase inhibitors (eserine sulfate, tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide, 1,5-bis(4-allyldimethyl-ammoniumphenyl) pentan-3-one dibromide). Cholinesterase activity was the highest with acetylthiocholine iodide at 57.42 nmol/mg P/min and the lowest with acetyl-beta methylthiocholine iodide at 6.17 nmol/mg P/min. The four substrates tested were not inhibited by tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide. Eserine sulfate significantly inhibited cholinesterase activity against all substrates except S-butyrylthiocholine iodide. The results of substrate specificity and cholinesterase inhibition in grass shrimp indicate that acetylthiocholine iodide is the most appropriate substrate for assessing cholinesterase inhibition in grass shrimp.

Consistent with electromigration, the mechanism of crack growth is assumed via diffusive transport of atoms from both crack surfaces to the grain boundary. A set of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the crack shape is derived from physical principles and solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, coupled with a two-point shooting method. The results showed that the steady-state crack velocity V is proportional to the applied field E-0 with an exponent of 1.5, that is V = AE(0)(1.5), in agreement with the previous analysis. However, the proportionality constant A is enhanced owing to electric field concentration at the crack tip. C1 Natl Tsing Hua Univ, Dept Mat Sci & Engn, Hsinchu 30043, Taiwan.

Exciton dynamics in a dot solid is simulated by use of a Hubbard model that includes interdot carrier tunneling, electron-hole attraction and Forster exciton excitation transfer. Dynamic exciton decorrelation is driven by carrier tunneling. Dynamic exciton dephasing is driven by excitation transfer. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

For example, such x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) calculations typically require clusters of order N-R atoms and s, p, and d states for convergence, with N-R between about 10(2)-10(3); for this case about 10(2) inversions of 9N(R) x 9N(R) matrices are needed, one for each energy point. We discuss here two ways to speed up these calculations: (1) message passing interface (MPI) parallel processing and (2) fast, Lanczos multiple scattering algorithms. Together these algorithms can reduce computation times typically by two orders of magnitude. These are both implemented in a generalization of the ab initio self-consistent FEFF8 code, which thus makes practical XANES calculations in complex systems with of order 10(3) atoms. The Lanczos algorithm also yields a natural crossover between full and finite-order multiple scattering with increasing energy, thus differentiating the extended and near-edge regimes.

The observation of pressure-induced superconductivity in CeRhIn5 at a very high T-C of 2.1 K for heavy fermion materials has led to speculations regarding its magnetic fluctuation spectrum. Using magnetic neutron scattering, we report anisotropic three-dimensional antiferromagnetic fluctuations with an energy scale of less than 1.7 meV for temperatures as high as 3T(C). In addition, the effect of the magnetic fluctuations on electrical resistivity is well described by the Born approximation. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

At a Cu spacer thickness of 1.5 nm, a strong net ferromagnetic (or positive) coupling >13.92 kA/m (>175 Oe) between NiO-pinned and "free" Co layers leads to a negligible "giant" magnetoresistance (GMR) effect (<0.7%) in Ag-free samples. In contrast, the net ferromagnetic coupling could be reduced by a factor of 2 or more in spin valves deposited in the presence of &AP;1-3 ML of surfactant Ag, and such samples exhibit more than an order of magnitude increase in GMR (8.5-13 %). Based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a large contribution to net ferromagnetic coupling in Ag-free samples could be directly attributed to the presence of numerous pinholes. In situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and TEM studies show that surfactant Ag floats out to the surface during deposition of successive Co and Cu overlayers, leaving behind smooth interfaces and continuous layers that are less prone to intermixing and pinholes. The use of surfactants in the present study also illustrates their potential use in atomic engineering of magnetoelectronics devices and other multilayer systems.

The diffuse scattering first appears around the Burns temperature T(d)approximate to620 K, indicating that its origin lies within the polar nanoregions (PNR's). While the relative intensities of the diffuse scattering around (101), (200), and (300) are consistent with those previously reported by Vakhrushev et al., they are, surprisingly, entirely different from those of the lowest-energy transverse-optic (TO) phonon. This observation led Naberezhnov et al. to claim that this TO mode could not be the ferroelectric soft mode. However, a recent neutron study by Gehring et al. has unambiguously shown that the lowest-energy TO mode does soften on cooling and that the relative intensities are similar to those of PbTiO3. If the diffuse scattering in PMN originates from the condensation of a soft TO mode, then the atomic displacements of the PNR must satisfy the center-of-mass condition. But, the atomic displacements determined from diffuse scattering intensities do not fulfill this condition. To resolve this contradiction, we propose a simple model in which the total atomic displacement consists of two components delta(c.m.) and delta(shift). Here delta(c.m.) is created by the soft-mode condensation and thus satisfies the center-of-mass condition. On the other hand, delta(shift) represents a uniform displacement of the PNR's along their polar direction relative to the surrounding (unpolarized) cubic matrix. Within the framework of this model, we can successfully describe the neutron diffuse scattering intensities observed in PMN. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Phys, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

We employ quantum-based total-energy calculations to predict the structure of a decagonal quasicrystal from first-principles considerations. Our Monte Carlo simulations take as input the knowledge that a decagonal phase occurs in Al-Ni-Co near a given composition and use a limited amount of experimental structural data. The resulting structure obeys a nearly deterministic decoration of tiles on a hierarchy of length scales related by powers of tau, the golden mean.

The function of the protein had not been assigned previously, and it is annotated as hypothetical in sequence databases. The protein exhibits the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold (also termed the Rossmann fold) and resembles most closely the fold of the L-2-haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily. Following this observation, a detailed sequence analysis revealed remote homology to two members of the HAD superfamily, the beta-domain of Ca2+ ATPase and phosphoserine phosphatase. The 19-kDa chains of HI1679 form a tetramer both in solution and in the crystalline form. The four monomers are arranged in a ring such that four beta-hairpin loops, each inserted after the first beta-strand of the core alpha/beta-fold, form an eight-stranded barrel at the center of the assembly. Four active sites are located at the subunit interfaces. Each active site is occupied by a cobalt ion, a metal used for crystallization. The cobalt is octahedrally coordinated to two aspartate side-chains, a backbone oxygen, and three solvent molecules, indicating that the physiological metal may be magnesium. HI1679 hydrolyzes a number of phosphates, including 6-phosphogluconate and phosphotyrosine, suggesting that it functions as a phosphatase in vivo. The physiological substrate is yet to be identified; however the location of the gene on the yrb operon suggests involvement in sugar metabolism. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

This present study describes testing results of a newer version of the dosimeter (Model gamma batch 0399-20). This dosimeter is a 1-cm x 3-cm polymeric film of 0.5 mm thickness that emits a green fluorescence component at intensities almost linear with dose. The manufacturing method (injection molding) allows potential batch sizes on the order of a million while maintaining a signal precision on the order of +/- 1 %. Studies include dose response, dose rate dependence, energy dependence, post-irradiation stability, environmental effects, and variation of response within a batch. Data for both food irradiation and sterilization dose levels were obtained. The results indicate that the green signal (0.3-250kGy) works well for food irradiation dose levels, especially in refrigerated facilities that maintain tight temperature control. The green signal also works well in sterilization facilities because its irradiation temperature coefficient above room temperature is minimal at sterilization doses. If the user requires readout results in < 22 h after room temperature irradiation, the user can either calibrate for a specific post-irradiation readout time(s) or simply heat the dosimeters in a small laboratory oven to quickly stabilize the signal.

The Internet will be employed to provide industry with electronic traceability to national standards. This is a radical departure from the traditional modes of traceability and presents many new challenges. The traditional mail-based calibration service relies on sending artifacts to the user, who then mails them back to NIST for evaluation. The new service will deliver calibration results to the industry customer on-demand, in real-time, at a lower cost. The calibration results can be incorporated rapidly into the production process to ensure the highest quality manufacturing. The service would provide the US radiation processing industry with a direct link to the NIST calibration facilities and its expertise, and provide an interactive feedback process between industrial processing and the national measurement standard. Moreover, an Internet calibration system should contribute to the removal of measurement-related trade barriers. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

These gamma and electron irradiation technologies require specific dosimetry systems for process control. The new version of the Sunna dosimeter has been characterized in gamma, electron and bremsstrahlung radiation fields by measuring the optically stimulated luminescence (osl) at 530 nm both below and above 1 kGy, i.e. for disinfestation and for meat irradiation purposes. No humidity and no significant dose rate effect on the green osl signal was observed. The temperature coefficient was determined from 0degreesC up to about 40degreesC and to stabilize the osl signal after irradiation a heat treatment method was introduced. Based on these investigations the Sunna 'gamma' film is a suitable candidate for dose control below and above I kGy for food irradiation technologies. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The teeth were obtained from Techa River area residents who were exposed as a result of releases of radioactivity into the Techa River by the first Soviet nuclear plant Mayak in the early 1950s. The investigations form the basis for an experimental procedure for accurate mapping of the distribution of Sr-90 in teeth with an imaging plate. This new method can be used as an individual indicator of radionuclide intake. Its advantages are its high sensitivity (0.02 Bq/g mm(-2) of Sr-90), it ability to examine small detectable cross-sectionaI areas of dental tissue (dentin) contaminated with Sr-90 (from 0.01 mm(2)), the nondestructive method of analysis, and the simplicity of use. The combined application of this method with EPR tooth biodosimetry can provide more accurate dose reconstruction and may lead to more effective radiation risk assessment.

Vertically pointing Doppler radar profilers are well suited to retrieve the raindrop size distributions because of their operating frequency and data collection methodology. Doppler radar profilers operating at UHF are sensitive to both Bragg scattering from the radio refractive index of turbulence and Rayleigh scattering from distributed targets. During light precipitation, both scattering processes are resolved in the Doppler velocity spectra. During moderate to heavy precipitation the ambient air motion is not resolved in the Doppler velocity spectra. The sans air motion (SAM) model is introduced in this study and uses only the Rayleigh scattering portion of the Doppler velocity spectrum to estimate the ambient vertical air motion, the spectral broadening, and the raindrop size distribution. The SAM model was applied to 915 MHz profiler observations in central Florida. There was good agreement between the SAM-model-retrieved rain rate and mass-weighted mean diameter at an altitude of 300 m with simultaneous surface disdrometer observations. The SAM model was applied to the profile of Doppler velocity spectra to yield estimates of rain rate, mass weighted mean diameter, and ambient vertical air motion from 300 m to just under the melting level at 4 km.

Functional modeling provides an abstract, yet direct, method for understanding and representing an overall product or artifact function. Functional modeling also strategically guides design activities such as problem decomposition, physical modeling, product architecting, concept generation, and team organization. A formal function representation is needed to support functional modeling, and a standardized set of function-related terminology leads to repeatable and meaningful results from such a representation. We refer to this representation as a functional basis; in this paper, we seek to reconcile and integrate two independent research efforts into a significantly evolved functional basis. These efforts include research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and two US universities, and their industrial partners. The overall approach for integrating the functional representations and the final results are presented. This approach also provides a mechanism for evaluating whether future revisions are needed to the functional basis and, if so, how to proceed. The integration process is discussed relative to differences, similarities, insights into the representations, and product validation. Based on the results, a more versatile and comprehensive design vocabulary emerges. This vocabulary will greatly enhance and expand the frontiers of research in design repositories, product architecture, design synthesis, and general product modeling.

We describe a high efficiency near-normal incidence focusing multilayer mirror detection system for carbon K edge fluorescence yield soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. A spherical focusing multilayer mirror collects nearly 60% of the available solid angle with a reflectivity of 6% and a resolution of 2% (dE/E) for carbon K radiation in combination with a high efficiency proportional counter detector. The focusing multilayer system is able to effectively discriminate the background fluorescence and scattered light signals originating at the sample during a carbon K edge soft x-ray absorption experiment. A signal-to-background ratio in excess of 100 is possible for very dilute carbon samples, enabling a whole new class of in situ photon-in photon-out soft x-ray absorption measurements of carbon chemistry in catalysts to be made, even in a reactive chemical environment.

This improvement enables the properties of the output radiation, such as spectral power, angular spread, and polarization, to be more accurately predicted based on the use of the Schwinger's equation. The radiation from SURF III is completely characterized by only three parameters, the magnetic field, the radius of the electron beam trajectory, and the electron beam current. For radiometry, the calculability of SURF III provides an important standard light source for source intercomparison. In contrast to the widely used blackbody source where the thermal radiation is completely characterized by the temperature and the emissivity of the blackbody walls, synchrotron radiation extends the wavelength range to UV and x ray which is impractical for blackbody sources. At SURF III, a new beamline, beamline 3, is constructed as a white light beamline for source-based radiometry. We describe the design of the new beamline 3 and its front-end high accuracy electron beam current monitor. This monitor not only measures one of the three fundamental parameters, the electron beam current, it also serves as an electron beam diagnostic tool. We also discuss ways to verify the calculability of SURF III using filter radiometers. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

In response to the rapid development of ultraviolet photodetectors for applications ranging from industrial photolithography to astrophysics, we have developed measurement capabilities to characterize photodetectors with high accuracy. The absolute measurements at SURF III are based on a high-accuracy liquid-helium cooled cryogenic radiometer for measuring the power of the dispersed radiation from SURF III through a monochromator. Typical detector calibration uncertainties achieved at SURF III using cryogenic radiometer is better than 0.5% in the ultraviolet. Equipped with such a tool, we were able to study a variety of ultraviolet detectors and determine their spectral responsivities, surface reflectivities, and the effects of radiation damage. Due to the accuracy of these measurements, the internal quantum efficiencies of the photodetectors can be derived and theoretically modeled to provide information on the mechanism of photo detection.

Ultrasmall-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS), typically achieved through crystal collimation, extends this size range to include features over 1 mum in size. This article reports on USAXS on the UNICAT beam line 33-ID at the Advanced Photon Source. The instrument makes use of a six-reflection crystal pair as a collimator and another six-reflection crystal pair as an analyzer. First principle absolute calibration and a broad scattering vector range make this a very effective instrument, limited only by the fact that the measurement of anisotropic microstructures is excluded due to slit smearing from the crystal collimation. This limitation has recently been removed by adding a horizontally reflecting crystal before and another after the sample. This creates a USAXS instrument with collimation in two orthogonal directions. We call this configuration effective pinhole USAXS. Now, anisotropic materials are probed using 9-17 keV photons in the same physically-relevant (from 50 nm to over 1 mum) microstructural size range as that available for materials which scatter isotropically.

The original accelerator was converted into a storage ring, called SURF II, in 1974. Then in 1998, motivated mainly by limitations in the accuracy of radiometric calibrations and the wish to extend the spectrum of the emitted synchrotron radiation to shorter wavelengths, a second major upgrade was performed. This time the whole magnet system was replaced to improve the calculability and allow for higher magnetic fields. Since the recommissioning of SURF III we have been working to improve the stability of the stored electron beam through modifications of the radio-frequency system, leading to operations with unprecedented stability and new record injection currents topping 700 mA.

For each of these applications, a local EAL can be defined for a narrow range of thicknesses or depths and a practical EAL can be defined for specified larger ranges of thicknesses or depths. We show the results of illustrative calculations of these different EALs for XPS of Si 2p(3/2) photoelectrons with Mg Kalpha x-rays, and point out situations where numerical differences occur. We compare practical EALs (with the overlayer film definition) for Si 2s, Si 2p(3/2), An 4s and Aut 4f(7/2) photoelectrons that were obtained from Monte Carlo simulations and from an analytical expression derived from solution of the Boltzmann equation within the transport approximation. The average of the percentage deviations between the EALs from the two approaches for various overlayer thicknesses and emission angles was 5.28%. This average percentage deviation was considered to be acceptably small and justifies the use of the more approximate analytical expression in calculations of practical EALs for the measurement of overlayer thicknesses by AES and XPS. This computational approach is much faster than Monte Carlo simulations. We report calculations of practical EALs for the principal photoelectron and Auger electron lines of Si, Cu, Ag and W. For overlayer thicknesses of practical relevance, the practical EALs do not change appreciably with film thickness for electron emission angles (with respect to the surface normal) of <60degrees. Under these conditions, average practical EALs can be used to determine overlayer film thicknesses. For emission angles of >60degrees, the practical EALs generally change rapidly with film thickness and emission angle and, for these conditions, an EAL should be determined for the particular conditions. We have compared our practical EALs for photoelectron and Auger electron lines of Si, Cut, Ag and W with similar EALs derived from Monte Carlo simulations by Cumpson and Seah. At an emission angle of 45degrees, we find a root-mean-square deviation of 1.6% between the EALs from the two approaches. Published in 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.

We found that there have been marked changes in the island avifauna with two main trends evident. First, a volcanic eruption destroyed much of the island in 1952. The Wedge-tailed Shearwater (Puffinus pacificus; estimated breeding population 1,000 pairs), Townsend's Shearwater (Puffinus auricularis; probable breeder, small numbers), and Red-footed Booby (Sula sula; 60 pairs) historically had much larger populations, but they apparently never fully recovered from the eruption. The Masked Booby (Sula dactylatra; 2,185 pairs), however, has become much more abundant perhaps due to changes in the vegetation. The second trend is that within the last three decades at least two, and possibly four, species from the central Pacific have colonized the island. The Laysan Albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis; 12 pairs) started breeding in the late 1980s; Black-footed Albatross (Phoebastria nigripes; 1 pair) in 2000. Red-tailed Tropicbirds (Phaethon rubricauda; probable breeder, 10 pairs) may have started breeding in the 1980s, and at least some of the breeding Brown Boobies (Sula leucogaster; 300 pairs) are from central Pacific populations. The reason(s) for this influx of central Pacific species is unknown, but likely involves changes in the marine environment. Other breeding species include the Red-billed Tropicbird (Phaethon aethereus; 200 pairs), Nazca Booby (Sula granti; 50 pairs), Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor; 165 pairs), and Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens; 5 pairs).

Local meteorology, neighboring buildings, topography and large vegetation (trees) all play an important part in determining the flows and therefore the pressures experienced by the target. The wind profile imposed at the upstream surface of the computational domain follows a power law with an exponent representing a suburban terrain. This profile accounts for the flow retardation due to friction from the surface of the earth, but does not include fluctuations that would naturally occur in this flow. The effect of neighboring buildings on the time dependent surface pressures experienced by the target is examined. Comparison of the pressure fluctuations on the single target building alone with those on the target building in situ show that, owing to vortices shed by the upstream buildings, fluctuations are larger when such buildings are present. Even when buildings are lateral to or behind the target, the pressure disturbances generate significantly different flows around this building. A simple grid-free mathematical model of a tree is presented in which the trunk and the branches are each represented by a collection of spherical particles strung together like beads on a string. The drag from the tree, determined as the sum of the drags of the component particles, produces an oscillatory, spreading wake of slower fluid, suggesting that the behavior of trees as wind breakers can be modeled usefully.

Long-short photoperiod regimes, i.e. long days of LD18:6 followed by an abrupt change to short days of LD6:18, were used to advance or delay maturation to summer months, producing commercially desirable out-of-season eggs. At the same time, these fish were exposed to two different seasonal water temperatures supplied by river (range 0-20.5degreesC) or borehole (range 7.0-10.5degreesC) sources. The photoperiod regime was seen to have the primary effect on altering the timing of maturation and appeared similar, irrespective of the prevailing water temperature. However, water temperature had a modulating effect on time of maturation and ovulation; fish showing an ability to delay the timing of final maturation and ovulation, when temperatures were at extremes, high or low. Extreme temperatures, also, had a major effect on the later stages of ovary development and subsequent egg quality. When the major time of spawning was advanced to July-August, when river water temperatures regularly approach 20degreesC, a dysfunction in ovarian development occurred, and no viable eggs were obtainable in these conditions. When the maximum water temperature was reduced to 16degreesC, fish stripped in a normal fashion, but egg quality was significantly reduced. Possible alterations in fanning practice in order to improve egg survival in such situations are discussed, (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The modified Bloch equation is coupled to equations of motion for the position and momentum operators. In the presence of static and time varying magnetic field components, the magnetic moment oscillates out of phase with the magnetic field and power is absorbed by virtue of the magnetic-field-induced magnetic moment, even in the absence of coupling to the environment. We explicitly work out the spectrum and absorption for the case of a p state electron. C1 Ben Gurion Univ Negev, Dept Chem, IL-84105 Beer Sheva, Israel.

There were eight aircraft flights when both instruments were simultaneously operating, producing 665 overlapping time intervals for comparisons. A number of approaches were used in the comparisons, and indicated that on average both instruments measured identical ambient CH2O concentrations to within 0.1 ppbv, and more typically within 0.08 ppbv, over the 0 to 0.8 ppbv-concentration range. However, significant differences, larger than the combined 2sigma total uncertainty estimates, were observed in 29% of the full time-coincident data set. The two instruments produced very similar altitude trends. Under clean background conditions in the 35degrees to 55degreesN latitude band, the median TDLAS and CDNPH CH2O concentrations were 0.399 and 0.410 ppbv for 0-2 km, 0.250 and 0.355 ppbv for 2-4 km, and 0.217 and 0.280 ppbv for 4-8 km, respectively. Elevated CH2O concentrations were observed in this study at both high altitudes (4-8 km) and in the marine boundary layer by both instruments. Thus vertical transport of CH2O and/or its precursors may provide a greater contribution to upper tropospheric HOx than previously thought. The results of this study, which are based upon instruments employing entirely different measurement principles, calibration, and sampling approaches, not only reinforce this conclusion but also provide a high-quality database necessary to further explore CH2O measurement-model relationships in the clean background atmosphere.

This paper describes the implementation and validation of stable isotope tracers in the GENESIS 2.0 GCM. The model reproduces the main features of present-day isotopic fields and the characteristic large-scale isotope-climate relationships. Global delta(18)O-deltaD, temperature-delta(18)O, and precipitation-delta(18)O relationships are well simulated, and the modeled regional patterns associated with continental vapor recycling over Europe and vertical gradients agree well with observations. In GENESIS a more sophisticated parameterization of interactions between precipitation and atmospheric vapor contributes to a better simulation of isotopic variations in dry climates. The standard model underestimates the global mean deuterium excess (deltaD-8delta(18)O) in precipitation, although a heuristic sensitivity test suggests this may be remedied by accounting for nonneutral stratification in isotopic evaporative fractionation over ocean. Errors in simulated isotopic fields are analyzed to determine whether they are caused by local climatic biases in the GCM or by inaccurate parameterizations of isotope physics. Using the results of sensitivity experiments and comparisons with other isotopic GCM results, we identify key isotopic and climatic processes at the origin of the main errors and suggest additional studies to improve isotope simulations.

Modifying post-polyketide synthase (PKS) tailoring enzymes involved in the production of mithramycin is an effective way of gaining further information regarding the late steps of its biosynthetic pathway. In addition, new "unnatural" natural products of the aureolic acid-type class are likely to be produced. The role of two such post-PKS tailoring enzymes, encoded by mtmC and mtmTIII, was investigated, and four novel aureolic acid class drugs, two premithramycin-type molecules and two mithramycin derivatives, were isolated from mutant strains constructed by insertional gene inactivation of either of these two genes. From data bank comparisons, the corresponding proteins MtmC and MtmTIII were believed to act as a C-methyltransferase involved in the production of the D-mycarose (sugar E) of mithramycin and as a ketoreductase seemingly involved in the biosynthesis of the mithramycin aglycon, respectively. However, gene inactivation and analysis of the accumulated products revealed that both genes encode enzymes participating in the biosynthesis of the D-Mycarose building block. Furthermore, the inactivation of MtmC seems to affect the ketoreductase responsible for 4-ketoreduction of sugar C, a D-Olivose. Instead of obtaining premithramycin and mithramycin derivatives with a modified E-sugar upon inactivation of mtmC, compounds were obtained that completely lack the E-sugar moiety and that possess an unexpected 4-ketosugar moiety instead of the D-Olivose at the beginning of the lower deoxysaccharide chain. The inactivation of mtmTIII led to the accumulation of 4E-ketomithramycin, showing that this ketoreductase is responsible for the 4-ketoreduction of the D-mycarose moiety. The new compounds of the mutant strains, 4A-ketopremithramycin A2, 4A-keto-9-demethylpremithramycin A2, 4C-keto-demycarosylmithramycin, and 4E-ketomithramycin, indicate surprising substrate flexibility of post-PKS enzymes of the mithramycin biosynthetic pathway. Although the glycosyltransferase responsible for the attachment Of D-mycarose cannot transfer the unmethylated sugar to the existing lower disaccharide chain, it can transfer the 4-ketoform of sugar E. In addition, the glycosyltransferase MtmGIV, which is responsible for the linkage of sugar C, is also able to transfer an activated 4-ketosugar. The oxygenase MtmOIV, normally responsible for the oxidative cleavage of the tetracyclic premithramycin B into the tricyclic immediate precursor of mithramycin, can act on a substrate analogue with a modified or even incomplete trisaccharide chain. The same is true for glycosyltransferases MtmGI and MtmGII, both of which partake in the formation and attachment of the A-B disaccharide in mithramycin.

The diffusion assessment relied on an existing thermodynamic database for the calculation of needed thermodynamic factors. The mobilities determined for the self-diffusion of the components in the fcc phase (a metastable state for some components) were consistent with the correlation of the diffusivity with the melting point. The general agreement of calculated and measured diffusion coefficients in the Ni-Co-Cr-Mo and Ni-Al-Cr-Mo quaternary systems demonstrated the ability of the database to extrapolate to higher order systems. Finally, the mobility database, in conjunction with an available thermodynamic database and a finite-difference diffusion code. was used to simulate a multicomponent diffusion couple between two commercial Ni-base superalloys.

Five dissipation models are considered, and differently processed tapes are compared. After making self-field corrections, which are normally ignored but we find essential to do, collective flux creep stands out as the only dissipation mechanism which explains the data. Confidence in the analysis comes not only from the goodness of fit, but also from experimental confirmation of two fitted parameters. The identification of the main dissipation mechanism has great practical value, because it enables definitive tape characterization, based on intrinsic physical properties.

The Hall effect measurements give evidence for a mobility edge that dominates conduction, which implies that the localized e, electrons play an insignificant role. This result is in agreement with the neutron data which shows no central peak in the magnetic fluctuation spectrum below the Curie temperature, a feature associated with polaron formation in La1-xCaxMnO3 and La1-xSrxMnO3 manganites. In the vicinity of the Curie temperature, the change in the resistivity and in the normal and anomalous Hall coefficients of La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 is due to the change in the concentration of holes activated by the mobility edge.

FUSE spectra of 67% of observed Magellanic Cloud sources (52% of LMC and 92% of SMC) exhibit absorption lines from the H(2) Lyman and Werner bands between 912 and 1120 Angstrom. Our survey is sensitive to N(H(2)) greater than or equal to 10(14) cm(-2); the highest column densities are log N(H(2)) = 19.9 in the LMC and 20.6 in the SMC. We find reduced H(2) abundances in the Magellanic Clouds relative to the Milky Way, with average molecular fractions [f(H2)] = 0.010(-0.002)(+0.005) for the SMC and [f(H2)] = 0.012(-0.003)(+0.006) for the LMC, compared with [f(H2)] = 0.095 for the Galactic disk over a similar range of reddening. The dominant uncertainty in this measurement results from the systematic di+erences between 21 cm radio emission and Lyalpha in pencil beam sight lines as measures of N(H I). These results imply that the diffuse H(2) masses of the LMC and SMC are 8 x 10(6) and 2 x 10(6) M., respectively, 2% and 0.5% of the H I masses derived from 21 cm emission measurements. The LMC and SMC abundance patterns can be reproduced in ensembles of model clouds with a reduced H(2) formation rate coefficient, Rsimilar to3 x 10(-18) cm(3) s(-1), and incident radiation fields ranging from 10-100 times the Galactic mean value. We find that these high-radiation, low formation rate models can also explain the enhanced N(4)/N(2) and N(5)/N(3) rotational excitation ratios in the Clouds. We use H(2) column densities in low rotational states (J = 0 and 1) to derive kinetic and/or rotational temperatures of diffuse interstellar gas, and we find that the distribution of rotational temperatures is similar to Galactic gas, with [T(01)] = 82 +/- 21 K for clouds with N(H(2)) greater than or equal to 10(16.5) cm(-2). There is only a weak correlation between detected H(2) and far-infrared fluxes as determined by IRAS, perhaps as a result of differences in the survey techniques. We find that the surface density of H(2) probed by our pencil beam sight lines is far lower than that predicted from the surface brightness of dust in IRAS maps. We discuss the implications of this work for theories of star formation in low-metallicity environments.

In the first step, a glutamine amidotransferase encoded by the pabA gene generates ammonia as a substrate that, along with chorismate, is used in the second step, catalyzed by aminodeoxychorismate synthase, the product of the pabB gene. Here we report the X-ray crystal structure of Escherichia coli PabB determined in two different crystal forms, each at 2.0 Angstrom resolution. The 453-residue monomeric PabB has a complex alpha/beta fold which is similar to that seen in the structures of homologous, oligomeric TrpE subunits of several anthranilate synthases of microbial origin. A comparison of the structures of these two classes of chorismate-utilizing enzymes provides a rationale for the differences in quaternary structures seen for these enzymes, and indicates that the weak or transient association of PabB with PabA during catalysis stems at least partly from a limited interface for protein interactions. Additional analyses of the structures enabled the tentative identification of the active site of PabB, which contains a number of residues implicated from previous biochemical and genetic studies to be essential for activity. Differences in the structures determined from phosphate- and formate-grown crystals, and the location of an adventitious formate ion, suggest that conformational changes in loop regions adjacent to the active site may be needed for catalysis. A surprising finding in the structure of PabB was the presence of a tryptophan molecule deeply embedded in a binding pocket that is analogous to the regulatory site in the TrpE subunits of the anthranilate synthases. The strongly bound ligand, which cannot be dissociated without denaturation of PabB, may play a structural role in the enzyme since there is no effect of tryptophan on the enzymic synthesis of aminodeoxychorismate. Extensive sequence similarity in the tryptophan-binding pocket among several other chorismate-utilizing enzymes, including isochorismate synthase, suggests that they too may bind tryptophan for structural integrity, and corroborates early ideas on the evolution of this interesting enzyme family.

The resulting oxides are in the form of powders, with the CuO having crystallites in the size range of 7-9 nm and the NiO having crystallites in the size range of 3-5 nm. These crystallites aggregate together to form larger spherical particles, which have been studied by transmission electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller methods and were found to contain many pores and tunnels. It is because of this that an uncharacteristically high surface area is found, averaging about 135 m(2)/g for CuO and 375 m(2)/g for NiO. As seen with other metal oxides, once they are made as nanoparticles their reactivity is greatly enhanced. This is thought to be due to morphological differences, whereas larger crystallites have only a small percentage of reactive sites on the surface, smaller crystallites will possess much higher surface concentration of such sites. Elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy have been used to characterize this nanoparticles, and reactions with CCl4, SO2, and paraoxon have demonstrated significantly enhanced reactivity and/or capacity compared with common commercial forms of the oxide powders.

The results show that the characteristics of the dielectric functions of these films are strongly affected by high temperature annealing. For a sample annealed at 600 degreesC, the film becomes polycrystalline, and its dielectric function displays a distinctive peak at 5.9 eV. On the other hand, the film remains amorphous without the 5.9 eV feature after 500 degreesC annealing. To model the dielectric functions, the Tauc-Lorentz dispersion was successfully adopted for these amorphous and polycrystalline films. The absorption edge was observed to shift to a higher energy at a high temperature annealing. Defects in the films were shown to relate to the appearance of a band tail above the absorption edge, and they appear to diminish with high temperature annealing.

The gamma irradiation had no effect on oxide lifetime. The heavy ion irradiation substantially reduced oxide life even though the devices were biased at 0.0 V during irradiation. The reduction of oxide lifetime under constant-voltage stress conditions was a strong function of the heavy ion fluence. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

In stable operation, all explosions have similar features, but are not identical. The characteristics of the explosions depend on the intracavity dispersion.

We have studied the time evolution of the expansion of such a condensate after it is released from the confining trap. We find that if such a condensate is not initially rotating, then at some moment it will instantaneously achieve a circular cross section. If the condensate is initially rotating its irrotational flow and the conservation of angular momentum prevent the released condensate from attaining a circular cross section, since the instantaneous moment of inertia is then proportional to the asymmetry of this cross section.

The packing fraction where the pressure becomes nonzero is the same as the jamming threshold, where the static shear modulus becomes nonzero. The distribution of threshold packing fractions narrows, and its peak approaches random close packing as the system size increases. For packing fractions within the peak, there is no self-averaging, leading to exponential decay of the interparticle force distribution.

Random variation in output data can lead to downward bias in DEA estimates of efficiency and, consequently, upward bias in estimates of technical capacity. This can be particularly problematic for industries such as agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries where the production process is inherently stochastic due to environmental influences. This research uses Monte Carlo simulations to investigate possible biases in DEA estimates of technically efficient output and capacity output attributable to noisy data and investigates the impact of using a model specification that allows for variable returns to scale (VRS). We demonstrate a simple method of reducing noise induced bias when panel data is available. We find that DEA capacity estimates are highly sensitive to noise and model specification. Analogous conclusions can be drawn regarding DEA estimates of average efficiency. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

To provide the modeling community with the best possible information, the available data are critically evaluated, and the best possible recommendations for the quantum yields are presented. Since the authors of this paper are the principal investigators of the groups which have provided most of the recent experimental data for the O(D-1) quantum yields, the basic assumptions made by each group, the input parameters used in obtaining the quantum yields, and possible sources of systematic errors are well examined. The fitting expression of the O(D-1) yield as a function of photolysis wavelength lambda and temperature Tis presented in the ranges of 306 nm less than or equal to lambda less than or equal to 328 nm and 200 K less than or equal to T less than or equal to 300 K. The recommendation values of the O(D-1) quantum yield for 290 nm less than or equal to lambda less than or equal to 306 nm and 328 nm less than or equal to lambda less than or equal to 350 nm are also presented. The formation mechanisms of O(D-1) in the photolysis of ozone which result in the wavelength and temperature dependence of the O(D-1) yields are interpreted.

These retrievals show agreement to within 5% with the MkIV observations in the middle and lower stratosphere. ATMOS agrees with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Lyman-alpha hygrometer to within 5% except for features with spatial scales less than the vertical resolution of ATMOS (such as the lower stratospheric seasonal cycle). ATMOS observations are 10-16% lower than measurements from the Harvard Lyman-alpha hygrometer in the lower stratosphere and are 7-14% higher than those from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS; prototype version 0104) throughout most of the stratosphere. Agreement is within 7% with the Millimeter-Wave Atmospheric Sounder (MAS; version 20) in the middle and upper stratosphere, but differences are closer to 13% in the lower stratosphere. Throughout the stratosphere, agreement is within 8% with the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE; version 19). ATMOS data from 1994 show agreement with the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II; version 6) values to within 8% in the middle stratosphere, but ATMOS observations are systematically higher than those from SAGE II by as much as 41% in the lower stratosphere. In contrast, ATMOS 1985 values are systematically similar to50% lower than SAGE II values from sunset occultations in the lower stratosphere near 70 hPa but appear to be in better agreement with sunrise occultations. Version 3 retrievals in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere are typically 5-10% lower than version 2 values between 1 and 0.05 hPa. This reduction improves agreement with HALOE, MAS, and MLS upper atmospheric observations, but ATMOS values still tend to be higher than values from these instruments in the middle mesosphere. Agreement among the instruments compared here (except for SAGE II) is generally within 15% in the middle to lower stratosphere and mesosphere and within 10% in the middle to upper stratosphere. At altitudes near 30 km, all instruments (including SAGE II) agree to within 10%. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Combust Res Facil, Livermore, CA 94551 USA. USN, Res Lab, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

The approach yields a correlation length l(C) of the spin misalignment that is a measure for the characteristic dimension of regions in which the magnetic moments are misaligned coherently into a common direction. We find that l(C) varies strongly with the applied magnetic field H-i with values extending from about 50 nm (larger than the value for uniformly magnetized grains) at small H-i to about 10 nm (considerably smaller than the grain size) at large applied fields.

The surface chemistry and electroosmotic (EO) mobility of polymer microchannels laser ablated under different atmospheres were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and current monitoring mobility measurements, respectively. The ablated surfaces of PMMA were very similar to the native material, regardless of ablation atmospheres due to the negligible absorption of 248-nm light by that polymer. The substrates studied that exhibit nonnegligible absorption at this energy, namely, poly(ethylene terephthalate glycol), poly(vinyl chloride), and poly(carbonate), showed significant changes in surface chemistry and EO mobility when the ablation atmospheres were varied. Ablation of these three polymer substrates under nitrogen or argon resulted in low EO mobilities with a loss of the well-defined chemical structures of the native surfaces, while ablation under oxygen yielded surfaces that retained native chemical structures and supported higher EO mobilities.

The water depth over the soil surface during in-situ burning was a major factor controlling recovery of the salt marsh grass, Spartina alterniflora. Ten centimeters of water overlying the soil surface was sufficient to protect the marsh soil from burn impacts with soil temperatures <37 degreesC and high plant survival rate. In contrast, a water table 10 cm below the soil surface resulted in mean soil temperatures > 100 degreesC at the 2-cm soil depth, which completely inhibited the post-burn recovery of S. alterniflora. Although poor plant recovery was also apparent in the treatments with 0 and 2 cm of water over the soil surface, this result was likely due to the chemical stress of the diesel fuel used to create the fire rather than the heat, per se, which never reached the estimated lethal temperature of 60 degreesC. In situ burning effectively removed more than 95% of floating oil from the water surface. Thus, in-situ burning prevented the oil from potentially contaminating adjacent habitats. However, in-situ burning did not effectively remediate the oil that had penetrated the soil. C1 Louisiana State Univ, Wetland Biogeochem Inst, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 USA.

An intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of CRH caused a dose-dependent increase in locomotor activity. The stimulatory effect of exogenous CRH on locomotor activity lasted for at least 24 h. Injection (ICV) of a peptide antagonist of CRH, alpha-helical CRH(9-41) (ahCRH), prevented the increase in locomotor activity when administered concurrently with CRH. Furthermore, fish administered the antagonist alone had significantly lower locomotor activity levels compared to saline-injected control fish. The effects of CRH are often dependent on the social context. However, no evidence was found that the presence of conspecifics during the testing procedure affected locomotor activity following ICV injections of CRH. Similarly, ICV injections of CRH or ahCRH did not have a significant effect on the mean time spent in contact with a conspecific. However, the position of fish in the tank was affected by the treatments, ICV injections of CRH significantly increased the amount of time that fish spent near the center of the tank. Furthermore, ICV injections of ahCRH significantly increased the mean time taken for fish to find cover in the tank. The effect of CRH and ahCRH on locomotor activity was not related to changes in plasma cortisol or thyroxine. These results support the hypothesis that endogenous CRH within the central nervous system is involved in the stimulation of locomotor activity in fish. Furthermore, CRH may also alter habitat choice in a novel environment. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).

The buoy data employed for this study come from several experimental and operational deployments conducted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). WHOI deployments include the Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment, Marine Light Mixed Layer Experiment, Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response, Subduction Experiment, Arabian Sea Experiment, Pan-American Climate Study, and Biowatt. PMEL deployments include the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean moored buoy array in the tropical Pacific Ocean. These moorings and their associated shortwave measurements represent the vast majority of open-ocean in situ shortwave observations available to date. Two separate schemes were used to filter the cloudy samples from the buoy shortwave time series, one based on satellite values of cloudiness and a second scheme based on the buoy observations themselves and on a number of additional constraints. The clear-sky model calculations of surface shortwave were computed using the single-column radiation code from the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model, version 3. The primary uncertainty associated with the model calculations is the specification of the aerosol amount. In general, there was a fairly high level of agreement between the buoy and modeled values of clear-sky surface shortwave. However, there were a few buoys that exhibited significant model-data discrepancies (e. g., model-data biases exceeding 10%, or similar to40 W m(-2)). The possible reasons for these discrepancies were investigated. In some cases, unaccounted for aerosol variability in the model was found to be the most probable cause, indicating that observations were likely to be reliable. In other cases, the discrepancies appeared to result from sensor tilt associated with wind, currents, or deployment/mounting problems and/or were possibly due to aerosol buildup on the sensor.

A polycrystalline sample of the compound was studied by neutron diffraction (at 6 and 295 K) and magnetic susceptibility measurements (5 to 390 K). The cobalt oxide was found to be analogous to the copper oxide Sr5Pb3CuO12, which is comprised of magnetic-linear chains at an interchain distance of 10 Angstrom. Although the cobalt oxide chains (mu(eff) of 3.64 mu(B) per Co) are substantially antiferromagnetic (theta(w) = -38.8 K), neither low-dimensional magnetism nor long-range ordering has been found; a local-structure disorder in the chains might have an impact on the magnetism.

Chromatogr. 593 (1992) 253; Science 261 (1993) 895). This is primarily driven by the fact that fabrication methods were well established by the semiconductor industry, and surface properties and derivatization methods were well characterized and developed by the chromatography industry among others. Several material properties of glass make it a very attractive material for use in microfluidic systems; however, the cost of producing systems in glass is driving commercial producers to seek other materials. Commercial manufacturers of microfluidic devices see many benefits in employing plastics that include reduced cost and simplified manufacturing procedures, particularly when compared to glass and silicon. An additional benefit that is extremely attractive is the wide range of available plastic materials which allows the manufacturer to choose materials' properties suitable for their specific application. In this article, we present a review of polymer-based microfluidic systems including their material properties, fabrication methods, device applications, and finally an analysis of the market that drives their development.

Combined clear-sky multi-temporal and multispectral observations were used to retrieve the atmospheric temperature-humidity profile, land-surface temperature, and surface emissivities in the midwave (3-5 mum) and long-wave (8-14.5 mum) regions. The extended algorithm was tested with both simulated and real data from the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Airborne Simulator. A sensitivity study and error analysis demonstrate that retrieval performance is improved by the extended algorithm. The extended algorithm is relatively insensitive to the uncertainties simulated for the real observations. The extended algorithm was also applied to real MODIS daytime and nighttime observations and showed that it is capable of retrieving medium-scale atmospheric temperature water vapor and retrieving surface temperature emissivity with retrieval accuracy similar to that achieved by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) but at a spatial resolution higher than that of GOES.

The physical mechanisms responsible for these fluctuations are poorly understood. Some theories ascribe a central role to the wind-driven meridional overturning circulation between the tropical and subtropical oceans. Here we show, from observations over the past 50 years, that this overturning circulation has been slowing down since the 1970s, causing a decrease in upwelling of about 25% in an equatorial strip between 9 degreesN and 9 degreesS. This reduction in equatorial upwelling of relatively cool water, from 47 x 10(6) to 35 x 10(6) m(3) s(-1), is associated with a rise in equatorial sea surface temperatures of about 0.8 degreesC. Another effect of the slowing circulation is a reduction in the outgassing of CO(2) from the equatorial Pacific Ocean-at present the largest oceanic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

A consensus has not yet been reached regarding the size and distribution of regional carbon fluxes obtained using this approach, partly owing to the use of several different atmospheric transport models(1-9). Here we report estimates of surface- atmosphere CO2 fluxes from an intercomparison of atmospheric CO2 inversion models (the TransCom 3 project), which includes 16 transport models and model variants. We find an uptake of CO2 in the southern extratropical ocean less than that estimated from ocean measurements, a result that is not sensitive to transport models or methodological approaches. We also find a northern land carbon sink that is distributed relatively evenly among the continents of the Northern Hemisphere, but these results show some sensitivity to transport differences among models, especially in how they respond to seasonal terrestrial exchange of CO2. Overall, carbon fluxes integrated over latitudinal zones are strongly constrained by observations in the middle to high latitudes. Further significant constraints to our understanding of regional carbon fluxes will therefore require improvements in transport models and expansion of the CO2 observation network within the tropics.

Trace metal residues were statistically similar regardless of the collection site. Zinc (100% detection in all samples), total mercury (100%), total arsenic (92%), copper (92%), and selenium (88%) were the more commonly detected trace metals. Mercury concentrations exceeded the Florida health-based standard of 0.5 mug/g for limited fish consumption in 30% of the total samples and averaged 0.40 (+/-1 S.D. = 0.22, range less than or equal to 0.08 to 0.85) mug/g wet weight. The average total PAH concentrations were 1.79 (+/-1.60) ng/g (reference areas) and 2.17 (+/-3.29) ng/g (wastewater-impacted areas). Pyrene was detected most frequently (63% of the total samples) and averaged 0.74 (+/-0.35) ng/g wet wt. The average total PCB concentrations were 4.8 (+/-7.1) ng/g (reference areas) and 31.6 (+/-31.3) ng/g (wastewater-impacted areas) Concentrations of dieldrin and cis-chlordane were approximately eight times greater, respectively, in fish collected from wastewater receiving waters, whereas total DDT and total pesticide concentrations were not elevated in the same areas. Concentrations of total PCBs and all chlorinated pesticides were below US health-based standards. The lack of a published reference data base for fish tissue quality in near-coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico restricts an assessment of the environmental significance of results from this and similar studies investigating the fate of point source contaminants.

During July and August of 1998, coherent radar imaging (CRI) was used to study the dynamic evolution of PMSE with high temporal and spatial resolution. A CRI analysis provides an estimate of the angular brightness distribution within the radar's probing volume. The brightness distribution is directly related to the radar reflectivity. Consequently, these data are used to investigate the aspect sensitivity of PMSE. In addition to the CRI analysis, the full correlation analysis (FCA) is used to derive estimates of the prevailing three-dimensional wind associated with the observed PMSE. It is shown that regions within the PMSE with enhanced aspect sensitivity have a correspondingly high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Although this relationship has been investigated in the past, the present study allows for an estimation of the aspect sensitivity independent of the assumed scattering models and avoids the complications of comparing echo strengths from vertical and off-vertical beams over large horizontal separations, as in the Doppler Beam Swinging (DBS) method. Regions of enhanced aspect sensitivity were additionally shown to correlate with the wave-perturbation induced downward motions of air parcels embedded in the PMSE.

The dyes, perylene and benzoxazolyl stilbene, are in a class of dyes called band definition dyes, so called because their fluorescence spectra contain distinct intensity peaks at characteristic wavelengths. The dyes were chosen for this study because they are soluble at dopant levels of concentration in organic Polymers at elevated temperatures and they survive without degradation at polymer processing temperatures up to 300degreesC. Changes induced in the fluorescence spectra over a range of typical processing temperatures were examined using statistical techniques that establish correlations between fluorescence intensity, wavelength, and temperature. The derived correlations are the basis for temperature calibrations that can be applied to process monitoring. A phenomenological model that assumes temperature dependence for both nonradiative and radiative decay modes is developed. A fit of the model parameters to the fluorescence spectra yielded activation energies for the temperature dependence of fluorescence decay rates.

Bioconcentration of pesticides by phytoplankton and zooplankton at the base of the aquatic food web may increase the persistence of pesticides in aquatic ecosystems and cause effects at higher trophic levels. This study examined the toxicity of a widely used agricultural pesticide, endosulfan, to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitatum (freshwater green alga) and Daphnia magna (freshwater cladoceran). We then investigated the potential of both plankton species to sequester endosulfan from their surrounding media. We also assessed the degree to which endosulfan is accumulated by D. magna via food (endosulfan-contaminated P. subcapitatum). A 96-h growth rate EC50 of 427.80 muLg/L endosulfan was determined for P. subcapitatum, whereas a 24-h immobilization EC50 of 366.33 mug/L endosulfan was determined for D. magna. The 5-h EC(50)s for filtration and ingestion in D. magna were 165.57 mug/L and 166.44 mug/L, respectively. An average bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 2,682 was determined for P. subcapitatum exposed to 100 mug/L endosulfan for 16 h. An average BCF of 3,278 was determined for D. magna in a 100 mug/L endosulfan water-only exposure. There was negligible uptake of endosulfan by D. magna feeding on contaminated algae in clean water (BCF similar to 0). Different proportions of parent isomers (endosulfan 1 and 11) and the primary degradation product (endosulfan sulfate) were detected among treatments. Endosulfan was rapidly accumulated and concentrated from water by P. subcapitatum and D. magna neonates. Endosulfan contained in phytoplankton, however, was not bioaccumulated by zooplankton. These findings may prove useful in assessing ecosystem risk, because uptake from the water column appears to be the dominant route for bioconcentration of endosulfan by zooplankton.

The N-band images were obtained with the Gemini North Telescope. In only 10 minutes of on-source integration time with Gemini, we were able to detect four of the five enshrouded clusters, or ultradense H II regions (UD H II regions) recently discovered in radio maps. None of these sources appears in either the optical Hubble Space Telescope images or the near-infrared ( J, H, and K') images. These sources make up about 60% of the total N-band flux from He 2-10 and, we suspect, a similar fraction of the total far-infrared flux measured by IRAS. The inferred spectra of the UD H II regions are strikingly similar to those of Galactic ultracompact H II regions. We have modeled the radio and IR spectra of these UD H II regions under the assumption that they are scaled-up Galactic ultracompact H II regions. From this model, the bolometric luminosity of the brightest cluster alone is estimated to be similar to2x10(9) L(circle dot). The total mass of the dust and gas in this UD H II region is M(shell) approximate to 10(7) M(circle dot). We have also used the observed spectra to place constraints on the masses and ages of the stellar clusters enshrouded within the UD H II regions. For the brightest UD H II region, we find that the stellar mass must be M(cluster) greater than or similar to 2.5x10(6) M(circle dot), and the age must be less than or similar to4.8x10(6) yr, with the most probable age being. less than or similar to3.6x10(6) yr. If we assume that the region is pressure confined and enforce the requirement that the star formation efficiency must be less than 90%, we find that the age of this stellar cluster must lie within a very narrow range, 4x10(5) < tau < 5x10(6) yr. All the clusters within the UD H II regions in He 2-10 are estimated to have ages less than about 5x10(6) yr and masses greater than about 5x10(5) M(circle dot). We find that the logarithmic ratio of the radio to far-infrared flux densities, q, for the UD H II regions in He 2-10 is similar to4; qapproximate to2.6 for both He 2-10 as a whole and NGC 5253, another nearby starburst known to host UD H II regions. These values of q are significantly larger than the average q = 2.35 found for normal galaxies but are comparable to the values of q found for ultraluminous infrared galaxies. We suggest that large q values for starburst galaxies may indicate that a significant fraction of the far-infrared flux may arise from thermal dust emission from UD H II regions. Finally, the possibility that all the far-infrared flux from He 2-10 and other starburst galaxies may be produced by regions completely obscured at wavelengths as long as K' suggests that the well-known correlation between ultraviolet continuum slope and infrared-to-ultraviolet flux ratio in starbursts cannot be due entirely to reprocessing of ultraviolet radiation by dust in a foreground screen geometry. In fact, the dust that reddens the ultraviolet continuum slope must be largely decoupled from the dust that produces the large infrared fluxes in some starbursts.

III. Relationship between Ly alpha absorbers and galaxies, voids, and superclusters SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies : halos; intergalactic medium; quasars : absorption lines; ultraviolet : galaxies ID HUBBLE-SPACE-TELESCOPE; CFA REDSHIFT SURVEY; LINE KEY PROJECT; SURFACE BRIGHTNESS GALAXIES; LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURE; LYMAN-ALPHA; ABSORPTION SYSTEMS; DARK-MATTER; GASEOUS EXTENT; 3C 273 AB In this paper we use large-angle, nearby galaxy redshift surveys to investigate the relationship between the 81 low-redshift Lyalpha absorbers in our Hubble Space Telescope GHRS survey and galaxies, superclusters, and voids. In a subsample of 46 Lyalpha absorbers located in regions where the 2000 February 8 CfA catalog is complete down to at least L* galaxies, the nearest galaxy neighbors range from 100 h(70)(-1) kpc to greater than 10 h(70)(-1). Mpc. Of these 46 absorbers, eight are found in galaxy voids. After correcting for path length and sensitivity, we find that 22%+/-8% of the Lyalpha absorbers lie in voids, which requires that at least some low column density absorbers are not extended halos of individual bright galaxies. The number density of these clouds yields a baryon fraction of 4.5%+/-1.5% in voids. The stronger Lyalpha absorbers (10(13.2)-10(15.4) cm(-2)) cluster with galaxies more weakly than galaxies cluster with each other, while the weaker absorbers (10(12.4)-10(13.2) cm(-2)) are more randomly distributed. The median distance from a low-z Lyalpha absorber in our sample to its nearest galaxy neighbor (similar to500 h(70)(-1) kpc) is twice the median distance between bright galaxies in the same survey volume. This makes any purported "association" between these Lyalpha absorbers and individual galaxies problematic. The suggested correlation between Lyalpha absorber equivalent width (W) and nearest galaxy impact parameter does not extend to W less than or equal to 200 mAngstrom or to impact parameters greater than 200 h(70)(-1) kpc. Instead, we find statistical support for the contention that absorbers align with large-scale filaments of galaxies. The pair of sight lines, 3C 273 and Q1230+0115, separated by 0degrees.9 on the sky, provides an example of eight absorbers and seven galaxies aligned along a possible filamentary structure at least 20 h(70)(-1) Mpc long. While some strong (W > 400 mAngstrom) Lyalpha absorbers may be gas in the extended gaseous halos of individual galaxies, much of the local Lyalpha "forest" appears to be associated with the large-scale structures of galaxies and some with voids.

Using low-volume PM(2.5) samplers, aerosol particulate samples were simultaneously collected for the first time at three locations in the region, Sandy Hook in the coast, New Brunswick and Liberty Science Center (Jersey City) in nearby urban areas, during January 1998-January 1999. Sample analysis for trace elements was accomplished by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Many elements in ambient air exhibit strong spatial gradients from urban centers to the coast, and the concentrations of most elements at Liberty Science Center are significantly higher than at the other two locations. Seasonal patterns are not apparent for most elements at all locations, suggesting continuous contributions from their sources. The elements Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, V, Sb, are enriched by factors of 200 to 20,000 relative to their natural abundance in crustal soil. Major sources that contribute to the atmospheric loading of these elements include fossil fuel combustion, oil combustion, metal processing industry, and waste incineration. Atmospheric dry deposition of these trace elements associated with PM(2.5) to the coastal waters of the NY-NJ estuary may account for a significant portion of the total dry deposition fluxes for these elements.

Recently, silica-fused ceramic whiskers were used to reinforce dental composites, and the whisker-to-silica ratio was found to be a key microstructural parameter that determined the composite strength. The aim of this study was to further investigate the effects of whisker-to-silica ratio on the fracture toughness. elastic modulus, hardness and brittleness of the composite. Silica particles and silicon carbide whiskers were mixed at whisker: silica mass ratios of 0:1, 1:5, 1:2, 1:1.2: 1.5:1, and 1:0. Each mixture was thermally fused. silanized and combined with a dental resin at a filler mass percentage of 60%. Fracture toughness was measured with a sin-ale-edge notched beam method. Elastic modulus and hardness were measured with a nano-indentation system. Whisker: silica ratio had significant effects on composite properties. The composite toughness (mean +/- SD; n = 9) at whisker: silica = 2:1 was (2.47 +/-0.28) MPa m(1/2) significantly higher than (1.02 +/-0.23) at whisker: silica = 0:1, (1.13 +/-0.19) of a prosthetic composite control, and (0.95 +/-0.11) of an inlay/onlay composite control (Tukey's at family confidence coefficient=0.95). Elastic modulus increased monotonically and hardness plateaued with increasing the whisker: silica ratio. Increasing the whisker: silica ratio also decreased the composite brittleness, which became about 1/3 of that of the inlay/onlay control. Electron microscopy revealed relatively flat fracture surfaces for the controls, but much rougher ones for the whisker composites. with fracture steps and whisker Pullout contributing to toughness. The whiskers appeared to be well-bonded with the matrix. probably due to the fused silica producing rough whisker surfaces. Reinforcement with silica-fused whiskers resulted in novel dental composites that possessed fracture toughness two times higher than, and brittleness less than half of current dental composites.

Such storms can produce heavy orographic snowfall, lake-effect snowbands, and even lightning. Unfortunately, precipitation forecast skill is lower over the Intermountain West than other regions of the country because of the complex topography, the lack or limited utility of upstream and in situ data, and insufficient understanding of storm and precipitation processes. The Intermountain Precipitation Experiment (IPEX) is a research program designed to improve the understanding, analysis, and prediction of precipitation over the complex topography of the Intermountain West. The field phase of this research program was held in northern Utah in February 2000. During this time, seven storms were observed, including the heaviest snowfall to strike the Wasatch Mountains in two years, a tornadic bow echo associated with a strong cold front, a mesoscale snowband in Tooele Valley, and three other storms with locally heavy orographic snowfall and complex mesoscale circulations. Some of these storms were electrified and produced lightning. This paper reviews the weather of the Intermountain West, describes the experimental setup and the outreach activities of IPEX, and presents preliminary results from the field phase. Finally, lessons learned in planning and executing this field program are discussed. C1 NOAA, Natl Severe Storms Lab, Norman, OK 73069 USA. Cooperat Inst Mesoscale Meteorol Studies, Norman, OK USA.

MesoWest depends upon voluntary access to provisional observations from environmental monitoring stations installed and maintained by federal, state, and local agencies and commercial firms. In many cases, collection and transmission of these observations are facilitated by NWS forecast offices, government laboratories, and universities. MesoWest augments the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) network maintained by the NWS, Federal Aviation Administration, and Department of Defense. MesoWest increases the coverage of observations in remote locations and helps capture many of the local and mesoscale weather phenomena that impact the public. The primary goal of MesoWest is to improve timely access to automated observations for NWS forecasters at offices throughout the western United States. In addition, integration of the observations into analyses of surface conditions at high spatial and temporal resolution provides additional tools for nowcasts and forecast verification. MesoWest observations are being used for many other applications, including input to operational and research models and research and education on weather processes in the western United States.

Adverse weather during this period may delay sporting events, while snow and ice-covered streets and highways may impede access by the athletes and spectators to the venues. While winter snowstorms and other large-scale weather systems typically have widespread impacts throughout northern Utah, hazardous winter weather is often related to local terrain features (the Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake are the most prominent ones). Examples of such hazardous weather include lake-effect snowstorms, ice fog, gap winds, downslope windstorms, and low visibility over mountain passes. A weather support system has been developed to provide weather information to the athletes, games officials, spectators, and the interested public around the world. This system is managed by the Salt Lake Olympic Committee and relies upon meteorologists from the public, private, and academic sectors of the atmospheric science community. Weather forecasting duties will be led by National Weather Service forecasters and a team of private weather forecasters organized by KSL, the Salt Lake City NBC television affiliate. Other government agencies, commercial firms, and the University of Utah are providing specialized forecasts and support services for the Olympics. The weather support system developed for the 2002 Winter Olympics is expected to provide long-term benefits to the public through improved understanding, monitoring, and prediction of winter weather in the Intermountain West.

The primary objective of the field work was to collect ocean, ice, and atmospheric datasets over a full annual cycle that could be used to understand the processes controlling surface heat exchanges-in particular, the ice-albedo feedback and cloud-radiation feedback. This information is being used to improve formulations of arctic ice-ocean-atmosphere processes in climate models and thereby improve simulations of present and future arctic climate. The experiment was deployed from an ice breaker that was frozen into the ice pack and allowed to drift for the duration of the experiment. This research platform allowed the use of an extensive suite of instruments that directly measured ocean, atmosphere, and ice properties from both the ship and the ice pack in the immediate vicinity of the ship. This summary describes the project goals, experimental design, instrumentation, and the resulting datasets. Examples of various data products available from the SHEBA project are presented.

A further complication is the bycatch of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis); halibut bycatch limits, rather than single-species catch quotas, have been the primary factor regulating EBS flatfish harvest in recent years. To examine bycatch interactions among the EBS flatfish listed above, an equilibrium mixed-species multifishery model was developed. Equilibrium yield curves, scaled by recent average recruitment, are flat topped or asymptotically increasing, reflecting low fishing selectivity during the first several years of life and low growth relative to natural mortality. A linear programming analysis indicated that relaxation of the halibut bycatch constraint at the optimal solution of catch by fishery would produce approximately 20 times more flatfish yield than a similar relaxation of any flatfish catch quota. A strategy for establishing halibut bycatch limits that considers the foregone revenue in the halibut and flatfish trawl fisheries reveals how the choice of halibut bycatch limit is affected by the management goal for the flatfish complex.

The bulk catchability (Q), defined to be the ratio between swept-area biomass and actual biomass, is herein modeled using a Bayesian age-structured meta-analysis of suitable West Coast rockfish stocks. Six shelf stocks of rockfish were used. The posterior distribution of Q was insensitive to choice of prior and gives a probability of about 0.05 that the bulk catchability of a randomly selected shelf rockfish species will be unity or higher. Between survey variability in bulk catchabilities was modeled as a multiplicative main effect. With individual posterior probabilities in excess of 0.99, bulk catchabilities were lower than normal in 1977 and 1980 and higher than normal in 1989 and 1998. The low catchabilities in 1977 and 1980 are consistent with previously identified problems with lack of bottom contact in the earlier years of the survey. Future work will extend the model to incorporate dynamic modeling of unassessed rockfish stocks, and suggestions for this are given. C1 Univ Auckland, Dept Stat, Auckland 1, New Zealand.

Their degrees of dispersion and intercalation spacings as determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were typical of either a microcomposite or an exfoliated nanocomposite, depending on the type of organoclay. Combustion experiments showed that the microcomposite burns in the same way as pure EVA, whereas the heat release is reduced by 70-80% when nanocomposites with low silicate loadings (2-5%) are burned, because a protective charred ceramic surface layer is formed as a result of reassembly of the clay layers and catalyzed charring of the polymer. A chemical mechanism for this charring is proposed. C1 Univ Turin, Dipartimento Chim IFM, I-10125 Turin, Italy. NIST, Fire Sci Div, Bldg & Fire Res Lab, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Most of the current product design exists in the form of CAD files that contain geometry-oriented product data. This data is not sufficient for reuse in the design of a new product. This paper proposes an enhanced product model which is understandable, customzable and reusable. A model enhancer (ME) helps to transfer the CAD model into this enhanced model which is a reusable design resource, The ME is implemented as a software component, so that its exposed methods can be reused at the programming level. We believe that this approach to design resource management (DRM) will benefit modern product development. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Two different multigenerational ratios have been used in the literature based on either the arithmetic mean or the harmonic mean in the denominator. We clarify the interpretation and meaning of these ratios, The arithmetic mean N-e/N ratio compares the total number of real individuals to the long-term effective size of the population. The harmonic mean N-e/N ratio summarizes variation in the N-e/N ratio for each generation. In addition, we show that the ratio of the harmonic mean population size to the arithmetic mean population size provides a useful measure of both much fluctuation in size reduced the effective size of a population. We discuss applications of these ratios and emphasize how to use the harmonic mean N-e/N ratio to estimate the effective size of a population over a period of time for which census counts have been collected.

In order to measure the surface current circulation in the lee of the Caribbean island of St. Croix, we deployed a high-frequency radar system for approximately 3 months which provided hourly current vectors, obtained over approximately 600 km 2 with I km resolution. Here, we report two of the principal physical observations. First. contrary to expectations from Computed Reynolds numbers, no wake eddies were formed. Using a horizontal eddy viscosity of 100 m(2) s(-1), Reynolds numbers often exceeded 80, large enough to produce wake eddies in rotating laboratory flow studies and in numerical modelling experiments. Although no wake eddy formation was observed, a persistent nearshore convergence region of weak currents off the northwest coast was present, This suggests that slightly larger values of horizontal eddy viscosity may be appropriate for circulation models of this region. Second, anomalously strong eastward flows were occasionally observed that were not driven by any local wind change. We present evidence from satellite altimetry which indicates that this type of event is caused by an anticyclonic mesoscale eddy centered south of the island. Such nearshore convergence regions and anticyclonic eddies may have strong effects on the retention and dispersal of larvae of coral reef fishes among islands within the Caribbean region.

The total Caribbean inflow of 28 Sv is shown to be partitioned approximately equally between the Windward Islands Passages (similar to 10 Sv). Leeward Islands Passages (similar to 8 Sv), and the Greater Antilles Passages (similar to 10 Sv). These results are compared to a numerical model study using a 6-layer, 1/4degrees resolution Atlantic Basin version of the NRL Layered Ocean Model. Results from two simulations are described, including a purely wind-forced model driven by Hellerman and Rosenstein (J. Phys. Oceanogr. 13 (1983) 1093) monthly winds, and a model with an additional 14 Sv meridional overturning cell driven by inflow/outflow ports at the northern (65degreesN) and southern (20degreesS) model boundaries. The purely wind-driven version of the model exhibits a total Caribbean inflow of 17 Sv, consistent with expectations from steady, non-topographic Sverdrup theory. Nearly all of the wind-driven inflow occurs north of Martinique at latitude similar to 15degreesN. The net transport through the Lesser Antilles passages south of 15degreesN (Grenada, St. Vincent, and St. Lucia passages) is nearly zero when the model is forced by winds alone. The addition of a 14 Sv meridional cell in the model increases the net Caribbean inflow to 28 Sv, with nearly all of the additional 11 Sv of inflow entering through the southern Lesser Antilles passages. The modeled inflow distribution resulting from the combined wind and overturning forced experiment is found to compare favorably with the observations. The seasonal cycle of the total inflow in the combined forcing experiment has a mixed annual/semiannual character with maximum in spring and summer and minimum in fall, with a total range of about 4 Sv. The seasonal cycle of the Florida Current resulting from this inflow variation is in good qualitative agreement with observations. Most of the seasonal inflow variation occurs through the Windward Islands passages in the far southern Caribbean, whose annual cycle slightly leads that of the Florida and Yucatan Currents. Variability of the modeled inflow on shorter time scales shows a dramatic change in character moving northward along the Antilles arc. The southern passages exhibit large fluctuations on 30-80 day time scales, which decay to very small amplitudes north of Dominica. Much of this variability is caused by North Brazil Current Rings that propagate northwestward from the equatorial Atlantic and interact with the abrupt island arc topography. The total range of transport variability in individual passages predicted by the model is consistent with observations. However, observations are presently too limited to confirm the seasonal cycles or variability spectra in the Caribbean passages. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Costa Rica Dome is unique because it is also forced by a coastal wind jet. Monthly climatological fields of thermocline depth and physical forcing variables (wind stress curl and surface current divergence) were analyzed to examine the structure and seasonal evolution of the dome. The annual cycle of the dome can be explained by wind forcing in four stages: (1) coastal shoaling of the thermocline off the Gulf of Papagayo during February-April, forced by Ekman pumping on the equatorward side of the Papagayo wind jet; (2) separation from the coast during May-June when the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) moves north to the countercurrent thermocline ridge, the wind jet stops, and the North Equatorial Countercurrent extends toward the coast on the equatorward flank of the ridge; (3) countercurrent thermocline ridging during July-November, when the dome expands to the west as the countercurrent thermocline ridge shoals beneath a band of cyclonic wind stress curl on the poleward side of the ITCZ; and (4) deepening during December-January when the, ITCZ moves south and strong trade winds blow over the dome. Coastal eddies may be involved in the coastal shoaling observed during February-March. A seasonally predictable, strong, and shallow thermocline makes the Costa Rica Dome a distinct biological habitat where phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass are higher than in surrounding tropical waters. The physical structure and biological productivity of the dome affect the distribution and feeding of whales and dolphins, probably through forage availability. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

We developed a Monte Carlo test to determine whether Snake River spring/summer chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) experienced selective mortality as a function of their juvenile length and timing of downstream migration. Actively migrating juvenile fish (smolts) were captured, tagged, and released in 1995 and 1996 approximately 700 km upstream from the Pacific Ocean, and returning adults were detected at the same location. We analyzed data from two groups of fish: those that migrated downstream in-river and those that were barged downstream as part of the juvenile salmon transportation program. These groups were further separated into wild and hatchery Fish. Length at release was significantly greater in returning adults than in the general population for fish that migrated downstream in-river (both wild and hatchery) or were transported (hatchery only). From the 1995 seaward migration, adult returns of both wild and hatchery fish that migrated in-river were composed of fish released significantly earlier than the general population. In contrast, the opposite trend existed for wild and hatchery transported fish. From the 1996 seaward migration, no significant difference in release date was found between returning adults and the original population for any of the groups analyzed. Fish length at migration is a result of factors encountered in early life stages but selectively determines mortality in the smolt-to-adult stage. Thus freshwater habitat improvements, such as salmon carcass supplementation, directed at increasing nutrient levels and thus fish length may result in an increase in overall survival. The development of hydroelectric dams in the migratory corridors of these fish has disrupted their arrival timing to the estuary. Mitigation efforts designed to shift arrival timing toward that experienced prior to impoundment may confer considerable survival benefits.

But forming such a predictive model is complicated by a number of factors that strongly influence seagrass bed structure and our interpretation of its ecological function. The factors include the effects of waves and water depth (hydrodynamic setting) and the spatial and temporal scales of the sampling technique itself. In this study, we examined the coherence of predictions of seagrass cover and ecological attributes of temperate, mixed-species seagrass derived from two common sampling techniques, (video) line transect (commonly used by biologists) and grid-sampled surveys (often used in remote sensing). Mapping resolution was held constant at 1 m, and the two techniques applied across seagrass beds of varying coverage that reflected the effect of a hydrodynamic gradient ranging from patchy, high-energy beds to continuous cover, low-energy beds. We found that the prediction of seagrass coverage as a function of hydrodynamic setting can be improved not only by increasing the, spatial extent of sampling at a fixed resolution (1 m), but also by ensuring that data for both dependent (e.g., percent cover) and independent (e.g., wave exposure) variables are averaged over similar scales (spatial extent and resolution). Large-scale features of the landscape, such as, patches several meters in width, appeared to be best quantified by sampling over a large spatial extent, as with the video transects. Therefore, contiguous sampling over a broad spatial extent, as opposed to our numerous, somewhat smaller sampling (grid-sampled, 50 X 50 in areas) is the more appropriate strategy for predicting the probability of seagrass bed cover. Conversely, we found that ecological attributes of the seagrass bed (biomass, shoot density, and sediment composition) were best characterized by sampling over a shorter spatial extent (i.e., <50 m), indicating that very localized conditions may have influenced patterns of seagrass community attributes. Generalizing information about seagrass bed ecological attributes obtained from high-resolution samples (fine scale) taken over a broad spatial extent (coarse or landscape scale), as may occur with resource surveys and impact assessments, has the potential to be highly misleading, especially in patchy environments. The influence of sampling scale and survey method on the prediction of coverage and ecological attributes of seagrass beds reveals the need to carefully choose sampling designs to evaluate seagrass distribution and their associated ecological characteristics in the Beaufort, North Carolina (USA) area, and perhaps in other like habitats.

We examined patterns of habitat use for newly settled red drum at six sampling areas in Galveston Bay, two areas had seagrass beds and four areas had no seagrass. We measured densities in different habitat types using epibenthic sleds and enclosure samplers. Peal, recruitment of young red drum to the estuary occurred during September through December. Highest densities of new settlers were found in seagrass meadows (primarily Halodule wrightii), but when seagrass was absent, the highest densities of red drum occurred along the Spartina alterniflora marsh edge interface. Densities were relatively low on nonvegetated bottom away from die marsh edge. We also examined density patterns in other habitat types at selected sampling areas and found no red drum within marsh vegetation away from the marsh edge interface (5 and 10 m into the marsh interior). Oyster reef Crassostrea virginica was sampled using lift nets, and we found no red drum using this habitat, although adjacent seagrass and marsh interface habitats were used. Even though red drum densities in marsh edge were low relative to seagrass, the large areal extent of marshes in the bay complex probably makes marsh edge the most important nursery habitat for red drum in Galveston Bay.

The solution matches the input data values at 'internal boundaries', i.e., locations that represent observation stations. The boundary condition at land-water interfaces assumes that the normal derivative is proportional to the spatially-averaged value of the derivative in the normal direction. By adjusting the constant of proportionality at land boundaries, realistic distributions were obtained. An equivalent solution field can also be reconstructed by generating a set of weighting functions, thereby minimizing the number of solution fields needed. The method was tested in a simple basin and the solution was evaluated for a variety of parameters such as cell size, grid orientation, and boundary proportionality constant. The method was then applied to San Francisco Bay and distributions of tidal constituent amplitudes and epochs were compared with those generated by a numerical circulation model.

Annealing above the glass transition temperature and quenching back to room temperature allows for a time-dependent study of the changing concentration pro le due to membrane-mediated interdiffusion. For the case of matched polymer molecular masses but different isotopic labeling, faster transport of the deuterated polymer across the interstitial layer is observed leading to displacement of the membrane. Varying the molecular mass and isotopic labeling of the top polymer layer provides information about the size discrimination and isotopic selectivity of the membrane.

Naturally resistant to infectious disease, the manatee immune system appears highly developed to protect it against the harsh marine environment and the effects of human-related injury. In 1997, seven captive Florida manatees developed multiple, cutaneous, pedunculated papillomas over a period of 6 months. Approximately 3 years later, four of the seven manatees developed multiple, cutaneous, sessile papillomas topically and clinically distinct from the initial lesions, some of which are still present. Histologic, ultrastructural, and immunohistochemical features indicated that the two distinct phenotypic lesions were caused by papillomaviruses (PVs). Preliminary immunologic data correlated with daily clinical observations suggested that the manatees were immunologically suppressed and that the papillomas were caused by activation of latent PV infections and reinoculation from active infections. The emergence of PV-induced papillomas in captive manatees, the possibility of activation of latent infection or transmission of active infection to free-ranging manatees, and the underlying cause of immune suppression predisposing manatees to develop viral papillomatosis are serious concerns for the future management of this highly endangered species.

Our research identifies and supports the possibility that certain environmental contaminants can alter salmon survival, and as a result may contribute to these species being at risk. We have shown that juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) are exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as they migrate through a contaminated urban estuary in Puget Sound WA (the Duwamish Waterway estuary). Immune function was analyzed in these fish by examining the ability of their anterior kidney and splenic leukocytes to produce a primary and secondary in vitro plaque-forming cell (PFC) response to the hapten, trinitrophenyl (TNP), and by determining their susceptibility to a marine pathogen, Vibrio anguillarum. We found that fish outmigrating from the urban estuary produced a significantly lower PFC response to TNP and were more susceptible to the pathogen, compared to juvenile salmon collected from a rural estuary during their outmigration. In the laboratory, we exposed juvenile chinook salmon collected from a hatchery to either a PCB technical mixture or a PAH compound to determine if these contaminants have the potential to alter immune function in salmon. Indeed, we found that salmon exposed in the laboratory to either die PCB mixture or the PAH also produced lower PFC responses and were more susceptible to disease compared to animals treated with the solvent vehicle. In summary, contaminants such as PAHs and PCBs are demonstrated to influence salmon health, and thus have the potential to adversely impact salmon populations.

Data from the water column and sediments, as well as on sedimentation and current regime near the sea floor, indicated that the deposition of contaminants is a continual process. Deposition is subject not only to seasonal biological processes such as growth and sedimentation of the spring phytoplankton bloom, but also to hydrographic events such as surges in near-bottom currents causing sediment resuspension. Contaminants at the sea floor may be transported considerable distances. It is suggested that in simplest terms, this transport can be envisaged as a conveyor belt skipping along the seabed. The dominant iterative processes regulating this near-bottom transport are sedimentation, resuspension and advection. In this way, particles and associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as other hydrophobic contaminants, may be transported over hundreds of kilometers.

The flexibility and power of IBMs with respect to building detailed and realistic biological models have encouraged recent and important extensions, which include explicit spatial dynamics and biophysical forcing of certain life stage processes. Unfortunately, the usefulness of individual-based numerical simulation models is often negated by the difficulty in digesting and analyzing their voluminous and complicated output. Scientific visualization tools offer the capability to remedy this problem. In this paper we briefly describe our spatially explicit, biophysical, individual-based model, its data input and output characteristics and the off-the-shelf visualization tools we used to help facilitate analysis and interpretation of the model. A stand-alone, easy-to-use, post-processing, graphic user interface is described that permits rapid examination and integrated visualization of mufti-dimensional model output. Specific examples are provided showing how scientific visualization, as a research tool, provided valuable assistance in untangling complex model dynamics assisted with diagnostic analyses related to model validation, helped investigate trends, and apparent oddities in the data, and facilitated the communication of model results.

The transmission system is comprised of a hierarchical 16-QAM modulation technique and a channel-coding scheme. The formation of dual-priority transmission is due to differing error resiliencies of the bits that make up a given symbol in a Gray-coded 16-QAM. On this basis, a twin-class pilot-assisted fade-estimation technique that can gracefully reduce the power loss caused by the transmission of pilot overhead is developed. The twin-class 16-QAM system Is then used to transport a compressed video bitstream, which is partitioned to match the bit-error sensitivity of the transmitted symbol. The partitioning scheme is based on a separation of the variable-length (VL) coded discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients within each DCT block. This partitioning scheme is then applied to split the ITU-T H.263-coded bitstream. The scheme is suitable for constant bit-rate transmission (CBR), where the fraction of bits assigned to each of the two partitions can be adjusted according to the requirements of the unequal error protection scheme employed. The distribution of the VL-coded (VLC) information amongst the two partitions is performed adaptively. Finally, the performance of the partitioning scheme for transmission of video signals using our twin-class 16-QAM transmission system is evaluated under multipath fading conditions.

Although this topic has been examined in great detail in the past, some inconsistencies between numerical and analytical results are apparent, and these have not been previously addressed. We show that these inconsistencies were due to only periodic sampling of the analytic solution, and an insufficient number of iterations in the numerical solutions, and we give corrected results. Additionally, some of the more significant analytical results, which were once thought to be impractical due to their complexity, are numerically implemented. We also show that a simple approximation accurately describes the behavior of these electrically short dipoles over a wide range of frequency and amplitude.

The approach using total radiated power avoids source rotations during testing and is an efficient alternative to current emission test methods.

The finite difference time-domain (FDTD) approach is used to model and characterize these chambers. In the FDTD model presented here, we discuss methods used to eliminate the need to spatially resolve the fine detail of the absorbing structures; present a differential-operator approach for incorporating both frequency-dependent permittivity and permeability into the time domain; and discuss the effects of gaps and holes in ferrite-tile absorbers on both absorber and chamber performance. Comparisons of the FDTD chamber model with measured data for different chamber sizes are presented. Finally, we discuss and illustrate how time-domain techniques can be used to characterize chambers, predict performance, and diagnose problems with both absorbers and chambers. With time-domain and frequency-domain techniques, we show how the performance of chambers can be significantly altered with only small changes in the type of absorbing structure used, and we illustrate how undesirable modal field distributions can occur inside a chamber when a nonoptimal absorber is used.

The flux is generated in the film by coupling it to a coplanar waveguide structure driven with broadband voltage pulses. Flux pulses propagated in the film with a phase velocity of 4.2x10(5) m/s and a group velocity of 1.5x10(5) m/s. Both velocities are consistent with the predictions of Damon-Eshbach theory for magnetostatic surface waves with 200-300 mum wavelengths. Within 100 mum of the excitation source, flux pulses decayed monotonically but with no measurable delay. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

To demonstrate this capability, microcalorimeter-based energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) has been used to analyze ultrathin TaSiN films under development as ion diffusion barriers in sub-0.1 mum integrated circuit interconnect structures. Microanalysis of TaSiN films has been carried out using microcalorimetry-based EDS for comparison with similar data acquired using conventional Si(Li) EDS detectors. The elimination of elemental peak overlaps provided by the improved energy resolution of the microcalorimeter x-ray detector is demonstrated for TaSiN EDS spectra from films as thin as 3.5 nm. In addition, variation of the electron probe beam energy is examined to reduce the x-ray generation volume relative to the TaSiN film thickness. It is shown that microcalorimetery-based EDS is a potentially powerful technique for the characterization/metrology of ultrathin barrier films used for microelectronics, with x-ray energy-resolving capabilities similar to techniques such as wavelength dispersive spectroscopy.

To address this discrepancy, a GCM with a different approach to cumulus parameterization is used to explore the model dependence of this result, the effect of sampling biases, and the analysis scheme applied to the data. It is found that the globally complete data from the two GCMs produce similar patterns of correlation despite their fundamentally different moist convection schemes. While this result concurs with earlier studies, it is also shown that this apparent model-observation discrepancy is significantly reduced (although not eliminated) by sampling the GCM in a manner more consistent with the observations, and especially if the objective analysis is not then applied to the sampled data. Furthermore, it is found that spatial averages of the local temperature-humidity correlations are much weaker, and show more height dependence, than correlations of the spatially averaged quantities for both model and observed data. The results of the previous studies are thus inconclusive and cannot therefore be interpreted to mean that GCMs greatly overestimate the water vapor feedback.

Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island) populations; (2) differences between the southern areas; (3) low variation among populations within some areas. The pattern contrasted strongly with that observed for Asian even-broodline populations, which had a strong structure, possibly related to geographic and oceanographic influences. Isolation-by-distance analyses of each of the two broodlines showed a stronger relationship (x 4.8) among even- than odd-broodline populations. Allele frequency differences between even- and odd-broodlines reflected the reproductive isolation of the broodlines. However. there were no fixed frequency differences which. considered with the differing population structures, suggests that migration-drift equilibrium has not yet obtained in one or both broodlines. The structural differences also suggest it is likely that the even- and odd-broodlines are of different ages and that one is derived from the other. Allozyme data do not provide a genealogical basis for identifying the ancestral lineage. C1 Univ Alaska Fairbanks, Div Fisheries, Juneau, AK 99801 USA.

In particular, we calculated changes in the flux tube-integrated Pedersen conductivity as it affects the growth rate of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, which governs the initial development of ESF. We find that the growth rate is lowered by an order of magnitude with a density of 1 x 10(6) cm(-3) in a slab from 115 to 120 km. Since sporadic E layers observed after dusk do not regularly reach these values, they are not a likely source of the daily variability in ESF. However, even a mild enhancement in the postsunset E region could lead to a significant suppression of ESF if it also inhibits the upward plasma drift of the prereversal enhancement, a key variable in the growth rate of the equatorial spread F instability. Thus, consistent with the nature of an instability, the second-order effect (suppressed upward drift) is more important than the first-order cause (reduced F region to E region conductivity) of inhibited ESF onset.

Plots of a(p) Versus temperature showed monotonically decreasing behavior over this temperature range, with peak values at 300 K of 45.9 (atm-m)(-1), 5.3 (atm-m)(-1), and 1.95 (atm-m)(-1) for HF, HCl, and HBr, respectively. The magnitude of these values suggests that HBr, HCl, and HF can significantly impact calculations of radiative transfer inflames containing these species. Two sets of additional calculations were performed for CO to validate the methodology used for calculation of ap for HBr, HF, and HCl. In the first approach, which employed the narrow band model RADCAL, the calculation procedure was similar to that of the present calculations. The second approach utilized tabulated values of the integrated intensity for each CO band and an average value of the Planck Junction within each band. Results from the three methods showed general agreement. Polynomial expressions are provided as fits to ap as a function of temperature for HBr, HCl, HF, and CO.

Two anomalies at around 165 and 38 K were clearly evident in the AC susceptibility measurements. Neutron diffraction measurements then confirmed that both transitions are magnetic. The anomaly at high temperature is associated with the ferromagnetic metallic transition of the magnetic Mn moments, whereas the low temperature one corresponds to the induced ordering of the Cc spins, with the moments point in the direction that is opposite to that of the Mn moments, The ordering temperatures for the Mn and Ce spins were found to be at 180 and 45 K, respectively.

Examples of the particular contribution by one or more of these instruments in analysis of several storms illustrate the comprehensive new views provided by the SeaWinds scatterometers, the detailed high-resolution wind field provided by RADARSAT-1 SAR, particularly inside and in the vicinity of hurricane "eyes," and the presence of secondary flows in the region between rainbands in TCs. The high spatial resolution of precipitation data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission's rain radar, combined with scatterometer or SAR data, give a significant improvement in the details that can be seen from space, at the surface, and in the precipitating areas of TCs.

Seven species were observed, including Pseudo-nitzschia pungens (Grunow ex Cleve) Hasle, P. multiseries (Hasle) Hasle, P. australis Frenguelli, P. fraudulenta (Cleve) Hasle, P. cf. heimii Manguim, P. pseudodelicatissima (Hasle) Hasle, and P. delicatissima (Cleve) Heiden. The coastal Pseudo-nitzschia species assemblages differed significantly from those observed within embayments. The dominant species observed at coastal sites were P. pseudodelicatissima and P. cf. heimii. Pseudo-nitzschia assemblages found in embayments included one or more of the following species: P. pungens, P. multiseries, P. australis, P. pseudodelicatissima, and P. fraudulenta. The nuclear large subunit rRNA gene was sequenced for six of the seven species identified. This sequence revealed that P. multiseries, P. pungens, P. australis, and P. heimii were genetically similar to those found in California, whereas P. delicatissima and P. pseudodelicatissinia were distinct from the California isolates. Although the concentrations of DA in razor clams along Washington State coasts have exceeded regulatory limits several times since 1991, levels of DA in shellfish from Washington State embayments have not yet exceeded regulatory limits. The widespread presence of toxin-producing Pseudo-nitzschia species suggests, however, that toxic blooms are likely to occur within embayments in the future. In conjunction with the monitoring of environmental conditions conducive to toxic bloom formation, the development of species-specific probes for rapid and accurate detection of potentially toxic Pseudo-nitzschia species in this region would enable the forecasting of a toxic event before DA accumulates in shellfish, thereby reducing the impacts to coastal communities.

The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, with the unit cell in the trigonal lattice, a = 4.1294(3) Angstrom and c = 6.9936(8) Angstrom, at T = 90 K (Z = 1, R1 = 0.0239, wR2 = 0.0632) and belongs to the P (3) over bar ml (# 164) space group. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, and neutron diffraction measurements on single crystals indicate that EuMn2P2 is an antiferromagnetic insulator with a Neel temperature of 16.5 +/- 0.25 K. The Eu spins order in a simple magnetic structure where the spins in the a-b plane are aligned ferromagnetically; these ferromagnetic planes are stacked antiferromagnetically along the c-axis.

A continuous monitor was used to measure the decay of SF, tracer gas over periods of 1-18 hr. Each experiment first included a measurement of the air change rate with all exterior doors and windows closed (State 0), then a measurement with the single change from State 0 conditions of opening one or more windows. The overall average State 0 air change rate was 0.37 air changes per hour (hr(-1)) (SD = 0.10 hr(-1); n = 112) for the California house and 0.41 hr(-1) (SD = 0.19 hr(-1); n = 203) for the Virginia house. Indoor/outdoor temperature differences appeared to be responsible for the variation at the Virginia house of 0.15-0.85 hr(-1) when windows were closed. Opening a single window increased the State 0 air change rate by an amount roughly proportional to the width of the opening, reaching increments as high as 0.80 hr(-1) in the California house and 1.3 hr(-1) in the Virginia house. Multiple window openings increased the air change rate by amounts ranging from 0.10 to 2.8 hr(-1) in the California house and from 0.49 to 1.7 hr(-1) in the Virginia house. Compared with temperature differences and wind effects, opening windows produced the greatest increase in the air change rates measured in both homes. Results of this study indicate the importance of occupant window-opening behavior on a home's air change rate and the consequent need to incorporate this factor when estimating human exposure to indoor air pollutants.

In air at 1375degreesC at 200 MPa, the times to failure ranged over a factor of 50, and the minimum creep rates ranged over a factor of 20. Despite these large ranges, taken individually, no one laboratory stands out from any other; all produced equally acceptable data. Consumers of silicon nitride tensile creep data must accept this magnitude of variability in reported creep data. The wide variety of specimen shapes and sizes, gripping systems, extensometry techniques, and temperature measurement strategies makes it impossible to assign definitively the root cause of the variability. However, there was a significant specimen size effect. As a group, the small-diameter specimens lasted roughly five times longer and crept three times more slowly than the large-diameter buttonhead specimens. A possible interpretation of the origin of this difference is that the oxidizing conditions affected more of the volume of the small specimens during the test.

Two low global strain rates, 12 s(-1) and 20 s(-1), were considered for comparison with measurements. Buoyancy was confirmed to have strong effects on the flame structure at a low global strain rate. It was shown that the location where a top hat velocity profile was imposed is sensitive to the flame structure, and that the computed temperature along the centerline agrees well with the measurements when plug flow was imposed at the inner surface of the screen nearest the duct exit.

The mean of mean turtle bearings on incoming (48 +/- 49degrees) and falling (232 +/- 41degrees) tides was significantly oriented to the mean directions of tidal flow (37 +/- 9degrees, P < 0.0025, and 234 +/- 9 degrees, P < 0.005, respectively). Turtles had a mean ROM of 0.44 +/- 0.33 km/h (range: 0.004-1.758 km/h), a mean surface duration of 18 +/- 15 s (range: 1-88 s), and a mean submergence duration of 8.4 +/- 6.4 min (range: 0.2-60.0 min). ROM was negatively correlated with surface and submergence durations and positively correlated with the number of surfacings. Furthermore, ROMs were higher and surface and submergence durations were shorter during the day. Daily activities of turtles were attributed to food acquisition and bioenergetics.

The first study of paternity in a sea turtle species used allozyme analysis to suggest multiple paternity in loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) clutches in Australia. Subsequent studies indicated that the frequency of multiple paternity varies from species to species and perhaps location to location. This study examined fine-scale population structure and paternal contribution to loggerhead clutches on Melbourne Beach, FL, USA using microsatellite markers. Mothers and offspring from 70 nests collected at two locations were analysed using two to four polymorphic microsatellite loci. Fine-scale population differentiation was not evident between the sampled locations, separated by 8 km. Multiple paternity was common in loggerhead nests on Melbourne Beach; 22 of 70 clutches had more than one father, and six had more than two fathers. This is the first time that more than two fathers have been detected for offspring in individual sea turtle nests. Paternal genotypes could not be assigned with confidence in clutches with more than two fathers, leaving the question of male philopatry unanswered. Given the high incidence of multiple paternity, we conclude that males are not a limiting resource for this central Florida nesting aggregate.

Two basic techniques from multivariate data analysis are used: cluster analysis and principal component analysis. This 25-member ensemble is constructed of 36-h forecasts from four different numerical weather prediction models, including the Eta Model, the Regional Spectral Model (RSM), the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), and the Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research fifth-generation Mesoscale Model (MM5). The Eta Model and RSM forecasts are initialized using the breeding of growing modes approach, the ARPS model forecasts are initialized using a scaled lagged average forecasting approach, and the MM5 forecasts are initialized using a random coherent structures approach. The MM5 forecasts also include different model physical parameterization schemes, allowing us to examine the role of intramodel physics differences in the ensemble forecasting process. Cluster analyses of the 3-h accumulated precipitation, mean sea level pressure, convective available potential energy, 500-hPa geopotential height, and 250-hPa wind speed forecasts started at 0000 UTC 29 May 1998 indicate that the forecasts cluster largely by model, with few intermodel clusters found. This clustering occurs within the first few hours of the forecast and persists throughout the entire forecast period, even though the perturbed initial conditions from some of the models are very similar. This result further highlights the important role played by model physics in determining the resulting forecasts and the need for model diversity in short-range ensemble forecasting systems.

Results are presented of an observing system simulation (OSS) to determine whether three-dimensional water vapor fields could be recovered from a high-resolution network (e.g., with 40-km spacing) of GPS receivers, in combination with surface moisture observations and a limited number of moisture soundings. The paper describes a three-dimensional variational analysis (3DVAR) that recovers the moisture field from the slant integrated water vapor and other observations. Comparisons between "nature'' moisture fields taken from mesoscale models and fields recovered using 3DVAR are presented. It is concluded that a high-resolution network of GPS receivers may allow diagnosis of three-dimensional water vapor, with applications for both positioning and mesoscale weather prediction.

The storm is interesting in that it made a transition from a low-precipitation to classic supercell then back to low-precipitation supercell again prior to dissipation after sunset. The storm remarkably produced only 17 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes during its 4.5-h lifetime, despite vertically integrated liquid (VIL) values reaching 95 kg m(-2), reflectivities of 50 dBZ or greater at altitudes of 14 km, and baseball-size hail at the surface. In contrast, total lightning rates inferred from a portable lightning detector during the large tornado were very high, approximately 100 per minute, as expected for a storm of this size and intensity.

It is generally accepted that watershed restoration should focus on restoring natural processes that create and maintain habitat rather than manipulating instream habitats. However, most process-based restoration is site-specific, that is, conducted on a short stream reach. To synthesize site-specific techniques into a process-based watershed restoration strategy, we reviewed the, effectiveness of various restoration techniques at improving fish habitat arid developed a hierarchical strategy for prioritizing them. The hierarchical strategy we present is based on three elements: ( I) principles of watershed processes, (2) protecting existing high-quality habitats, and (3) current knowledge of the effectiveness of specific techniques. Initially, efforts should focus on protecting areas with intact processes and high-quality habitat. Following a watershed assessment, we recommend that restoration focus on reconnecting isolated high-quality fish habitats, such as instream or off-channel habitats made inaccessible by culverts or other artificial obstructions. Once the connectivity of habitats within a basin has been restored, efforts should focus on restoring hydrologic, geologic (sediment delivery and routing), and riparian processes through road decommissioning and maintenance, exclusion of livestock, and restoration of riparian areas. Instream habitat enhancement (e.g., additions of wood, boulders, or nutrients) should be employed. after restoring natural processes or where short-term improvements in habitat are needed (e.g., habitat for endangered species).

Low and apparently sustainable catches of about 350 nit in the 1970s and 1980s allowed the stock to partially rebuild before it new fishery arose in the early 1990s, The response of the population to this renewed fishing pressure has been unclear until now. However, a new population dynamics analysis suggests that Population abundance has once again declined. On the basis of more than 140.000 length measurements, an extensive catch rate index, a confirmed growth model, and a catch-at-age matrix, it appears that at least 90% of the sexually mature population has been lost as fishing mortality has increased. Independent measures of fishing mortality (F) based on Petersen analysis of tag-recaptures. Paloheimo Zs, and a population model ill suggest that fishing mortality was about 0.20 in 2000. Biological reference points based oil life table analysis indicate that fishing at F(0.1) = 0.18 will result ill population collapse, that F = 0.08 corresponds to zero population growth, and that fishing mortality at maximum sustainable yield is about 0.04. Porbeagles have a low pup production rate and mature Considerably after the age at which they first appear in the fishery. In light of the very low numbers of Mature females now found in the population, it is unlikely that even the strict quota management now in Place Will allow the population to rebuild quickly. However, the shark fishing industry has actively Supported scientific research and conservation practices in recent years, suggesting that long-term sustain-ability may still be possible.

To do this. I revisited Clark's ( 1991) groundfish life history model and maximin (i.e., maximize the minimum) yield approach to evaluate target harvest rates for live stocks (Dover sole Microstomus pacificus. lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, sabletish Anoplopoma fimbria, Pacific hake Merluccius productus, and widow rockfish Sebastes entomelas using recent estimates of fishery and life history parameters and stock-recruitment data. I found that a spawningstock-per-recruit target of roughly 35% of its unfished amount would be reasonable for these stocks if Clark's assumed stock-recruitment parameters are representative and the policy goal is a maximin yield. In contrast, use of estimated stock-recruitment parameters suggested(more conservative percentages of the unfished spawning stock per recruit and more conservative harvest rate targets for most stocks. A key implication of this work is that Clark's groundfish life history model is sensitive to the stock-recruitment shape parameters. As a result, these parameters Should he estimated where possible or imputed using results from meta-analyses. Overall, it conservation target of roughly 35% of the unfished spawning stock per recruit is very likely too low for lingeod, sablefish, and widow rockfish stocks under current environmental conditions. but it may be adequate for Dover sole and Pacific hake stocks.

Fluctuations or trends in known biomass are fully as informative as catch (which is used in conventional production models) in estimating stock productivity. Known-biomass production models provide a useful supplement to stock-recruitment models and can serve as a cross-check on the sensibility of stock-recruitment model results. Application of known-biomass production models (ASPIC) to eight stocks of West Coast groundfish shows that current abundances (B) are moderately to seriously below those associated with the maximum sustainable yield (MW B is less than B-msY in six of eight cases and less than one-half of B-msY in four of those cases). Recent exploitation rates are lower than those in earlier years and in most cases are now near their appropriate levels, including the rates for stocks that are rebuilding. Harvest policies during the 1990s, which specified fishing mortality rates corresponding to spawning potential ratios of 35% and 40% (i.e., F-35% and F-40%), were too aggressive for most stocks of West Coast groundfish.

In this paper, I develop a hierarchical Bayesian model to jointly estimate the stock-recruit relationships of rockfish stocks in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Stock-recruit curves for individual stocks are linked using a prior distribution for the "steepness" parameter of the Beverton-Holt stock-recruit curve, defined as the expected recruitment at 20% of unfished biomass relative to unfished recruitment. The choice of a spawning biomass per recruit (SPR) harvest rate is considered a problem in decision theory, in which different options are evaluated in the presence of uncertainty in the stock-recruit relationship. Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling is used to obtain the marginal distributions of variables of interest to management. such as the yield at a given SPR rate. A wide range of expected yield curves were obtained for different rockfish stocks. The stocks of Pacific ocean perch S. alutus in the Gulf of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands are apparently the most resilient. with maximum sustainable yield (MSY) harvest rates greater than F-30% (the fishing mortality rate that reduces SPR to 30% of its unfished value) for all model configurations. In contrast, the MSY harvest rate for the West Coast stock of Pacific ocean perch was lower than F-70%. The SPR rates at MSY for other stocks were clustered between F-40% and F-60% and depended on both the stock-recruit model (Beverton-Holt or Ricker) and the model for recruitment variability (lognormal or gamma). Meta-analysis results should be interpreted cautiously due to autocorrelation in the model residuals for several stocks and the potential confounding effect of decadal variation in ecosystem productivity. An F-40%, harvest rate, the current default harvest rate for rockfish, exceeded the estimated F-MSY, rate for all West Coast rockfish stocks with the exception of black rockfish S. melanops. A harvest rate of, F-50%, is suggested as a risk-neutral F-MSY proxy for rockfish. A more risk-averse alternative would be to apply an SPR harvest rate in the F-55%-F-60% range.

For example, if recruitment estimates are below the fishing mortality replacement line, then further reductions in spawning biomass can be expected. However, recruitment variability. serial correlation, and variable historical harvest rates can create misleading perceptions of sustainable harvest rates when they are derived from these simple replacement-line curves. Careful analysis of the stock-recruitment relationship given the available data is required in order to evaluate stock productivity in age-structured modeling. In this study, simulation-estimation procedures were developed to evaluate stock productivity estimates given the level of information and historical fishing mortality currently reported for the Pacific ocean perch Sebastes alutus stock off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California. Two scenarios were designed with significantly different optimum yield calculations, one with moderate productivity and one with relatively low productivity. Within each productivity scenario, two types of simulations were performed, one with recruitment values identical to the original estimates (the observation-error-only case) and one with recruitment varying about the stock-recruitment curve (the observation-and-process-error case). For each of the two scenarios and two cases, 100 simulated stock assessment data sets were generated. Each was then analyzed using the stock assessment model used in 1998. The results suggest that if the actual stock-recruitnient productivity of this stock is low, the assessment model estimates will have a slight positive bias (estimated productivity will be higher than actual productivity). Conversely, if the actual stock-recruitment productivity is moderate, estimates are likely to have a negative bias given the observed sequence of recruitments and fishing mortality history. Including time series effects (simple autocorrelation) is shown to be a reasonable step toward remedying this problem. C1 Natl Marine Fisheries Serv, Alaska Fisheries Sci Ctr, Seattle, WA 98115 USA.

However, estimation of F(MSY) can be difficult for many fisheries, and for this reason proxies such as the spawning-biomass-per-recruit rate (often denoted F(%)) have been adopted for some fisheries. Around 1992, the Pacific Fishery Management Council adopted an F(35%) harvest policy for U.S. West Coast groundfish. Recently, this policy has been questioned, along with the overall productivity of West Coast groundfish. Estimates of appropriate harvest rates and productivity are computed from stock assessment models, which often rely on poorly estimated values for natural mortality and at-sea discard levels. The effects of unaccounted discards and misspecified natural mortality on estimates of appropriate harvest rates were investigated using a basic catch-age model. A deterministic, generalized groundfish population was simulated using an average fishing mortality time series computed for 11 major West Coast groundfish species. The model results indicated that unaccounted, non-size-selective discards had no effect on subsequent harvest rate estimates, while unaccounted, size-selective discards of fish ranging up to 50% by weight resulted in a 30-40%, higher F(%) in some cases. The largest changes in harvest policy resulted from lower spawner-recruit steepness parameters, younger ages of selection, and positively biased natural mortality values.

Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) reference points can also be estimated if there are sufficient data. The "external" method estimates production model parameters after the assessment model is fitted. External Calculations are simple and useful, we recommend that they be done routinely. The "internal" method fits a more complicated assessment model and a surplus- production model simultaneously, It includes the external and "all-measurement-error" modeling methods (e.g.. ASPIC) as, special cases. External MSY estimates for Atlantic surfclam Spisula solidissinia off northern New Jersey, cowcod Sebastes levis in the Southern California bight, and yellowtail flounder Pleuronectes ferrrugineus on Georges Bank and internal MSY estimates for northern Atlantic surfclam were similar to conventional estimates. Surplus-production calculations and both internal and external modeling approaches are useful for summarizing assessment results in terms of surplus production. which is important to managers, and in identifying plausible modeling scenarios. Internal Suplus-production Calculations [nay be most useful when recruitment is highly variable or when there is substantial variability in growth. Unlike some surplus-production modeling techniques. the external and internal approaches use all of the available data (e.g., age and size composition data) to estimate stock status and MSY reference points. They avoid the problems that arise in relating fishing mortality and biomass, estimates from one model to reference point calculations from a second. The internal and external methods are examples of Fournier and Warburton's composite approach. which attempts to balance the complimentary strengths and weaknesses of simple and complex models.

SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article ID POPULATION ANALYSIS VPA; ERRORS; BIAS AB The conventional wisdom favoring the use of log-transformation in fitting Stock-recruitment relationships is based on the assumed lognormality of the error structure as well as the assumed homogeneity of variance under log-trans formation. Although rarely recognized, the latter is an important requirement underlying the conventional bias correction for back-transformation (i.e., exp[s(2)/2], where s(2) is the error variance). The homogeneity assumption may be violated much more frequently than is commonly recognized. Stock and recruitment data sets for two of eight West Coast groundfish stocks showed significant heterogeneity of variance under log-transformation, despite the low statistical power of the test (circa 25%). We simulated stock and recruitment data sets of various sample sizes and known amounts of variance heterogeneity and subjected them to three methods of regression analysis: regression under conventional log-transformation, with bias correction for the back-transformation; untransformed (i.e., arithmetic) least-squares regression and iteratively reweighted arithmetic least-squares regression with weights proportional to the square of expected recruitment. The latter method duplicates many of the properties of regression under log-transformation. Log-transformed regression produced strongly biased estimates when variance heterogeneity was present, whereas the;Arithmetic approaches produced very little bias. Simple arithmetic regression tended to be unbiased but was less precise than the alternatives. Based on the root mean squared errors of the, estimates of five conventional management reference points, iteratively reweighted regression generally performed as well as log-transformed regression, and it appears to be superior for small sample sizes (n less than or equal to 15) and in cases of suspected variance heterogeneity under log-transformation.

Experiments were deployed on the forereef slope off Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas, for one and two years along two transects (AA and BA) in seven distinctive environments of deposition (EODs) along each transect: in sand channels on the platform top (15 in) and the platform edge (30 in), on ledges down the wall (70-88 m), on the upper (183 m-transect BA only) and lower (210-226 m) talus slope below the wall, and on the crest (256-264 in) and in the trough (259-267 in) of large sand dunes. Discoloration was by far the dominant taphonomic process over the two-year deployment period, with dissolution or maceration of shell carbonate a close second. Periostracum breakdown was not significant, nor was loss of shell weight. Chipped edges and breakage (assayed by the edge alteration variable) were much less common, but were important in some species. The degrees of edge alteration and dissolution were correlated with discoloration more frequently than expected by chance, emphasizing that the process of discoloration progressed in a coordinated fashion with the other two over time. The degree of burial or the interaction between degree of burial and water depth explained most of the trends observed in discoloration. The deep water sites, below the photic zone, including the talus slope and dune EODs, had very similar taphonomic signatures. Shells were characterized by a low degree of discoloration, little edge alteration, and varying degrees of dissolution. Photic zone sites, including the platform top and wall locations, followed the opposite trends, with the shallowest site, on the platform top, typically attaining the most extreme degree of alteration. The wall location was most similar to the platform top despite the greater depth and less rigorous physical and sedimentological regime. The platform edge occupied an intermediate position, likely due to the greater degree of burial that resulted in shells at this site being at least as frequently under aphotic conditions as under photic conditions. The data indicate that similar taphonomic signatures can be attained in distinctly different ways over a two-year exposure period, complicating the interpretation of taphofacies and the taphonomic process.

For this report, mollusk shells were deployed for one and two years at seven different environments of deposition (EODs) along two onshore-offshore transects off Lee Stocking Island in the Bahamas. The experimental sites were located: in sand channels on the platform top (15 m) and the platform edge (33 m); on ledges down the wall (70-88 m); on the upper (183 m) and lower (210-226 m) talus slope below the wall; and on the crest (256-264 m) and in the trough (259-267 m) of large sand dunes. Shell condition was assessed using a range of taphonomic attributes including dissolution, abrasion, edge alteration, discoloration, and changes in shell weight. After two years, taphonomic alteration was not particularly intense in any EOD. No species was particularly susceptible or resistant to taphonomic alteration. Taphonomic processes were unexpectedly complex. Effects of location, transect, water depth, and degree of exposure all had significant effects. On average, shells deployed in shallow sites were altered significantly from the controls more frequently than shells deployed at deeper sites. However, the number of significant interaction terms between time and the other main effects indicates a complex interaction between taphonomic processes and the local environment that, over the short term, defies any attempt at delineating taphofacies over a broader spatial area than a single. deployment site. Some locations attained the same taphonomic signature in different ways making discrimination of taphonomic rules difficult. For example, deeper-water sites and shallow sites where burial rates were high yielded similar taphonomic signatures because shells were in the aphotic zone in both cases, and this limited the rate and range of taphonomic interactions. Taphonomic processes were strongly nonlinear in time for all taphonomic attributes in all species and all EODs.

This enzyme (Chlorella virus pyrimidine dinner glycosylase [cv-pdg]) exhibits a 41 % amino acid identity with endonuclease V from bacteriophage T4 (T4 pyrimidine dimer glycosylase [T4-pdg]), which is also specific for pyrimidine dimers. however, cv-pdg possesses a higher catalytic efficiency and broader substrate specificity than T4-pdg. The latter excises 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde), a UV radiation- and hydroxyl radical-induced monomeric product of adenine in DNA. Using gas chronatography-isotope-dilution mass spectrometry and gamma-irradiated DNA, we show in this work that cv-pdg also displays a catalytic activity for excision of FapyAde and, in addition, it excises 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua). Kinetic data show that FapyAde is a better substrate for cv-pdg than FapyGua. On the other hand, cv-pdg possesses a greater efficiency for the extension of FapyAde than T4-pdg. These two enzymes exhibit different substrate specificities despite substantial structural similarities. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Chem Sci & Technol Lab, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

This novel molecule has a high water solubility and a structural shape resembling the skeleton of a micelle of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). We study aqueous mixtures of the C-60-based ionomers and SDS using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). With a selected deuteration of SDS, we have identified the formation of complex aggregates of FC10S with SDS in the mixtures. The structural information of the complex aggregates is extracted from the SANS and SAXS data measured for the mixtures. On the average, the complex aggregates observed have a cylinder-like shape with a radius of 19 Angstrom and a length of approximate to100 Angstrom for the sample mixtures containing 2.3 or 1.2 mM of FC10S and 6 mM of SDS. The mean aggregation numbers of FC10S and SIDS in each complex aggregate are 15 and 11, respectively. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Information can be encoded in the ground-state hyperfine levels and processed by bringing atoms together pairwise to perform quantum logical operations through induced electric dipole-dipole interactions. The possibility of executing both diagonal- and exchange-type entangling gates is demonstrated for two three three-level atoms and a figure of merit is derived for the fidelity of entanglement. The fidelity for executing a CPHASE gate is calculated for two Rb-87 atoms, including hyperfine structure and finite atomic localization. The main source of decoherence is spontaneous emission, which can be minimized for interaction times fast compared to the scattering rate and for sufficiently separated atomic wave packets. Additionally, coherent couplings to states outside the logical basis can be constrained by the state-dependent trapping potential.

This claim was based on observations of differences in the CPP MR's, after the samples were taken to above their saturation magnetic fields, of two different kinds of multilayers involving Co and Cu: interleaved [Co(6)/Cu(20)/Co(1)/Cu(20)](N) and separated [Co(6)/Cu(20)](N)[Co(1)/Cu(20)](N), with N repeats and thicknesses in nm. The maximum CPP MR's of separated samples were only about half as large as those for interleaved ones. In two short papers, we provided experimental evidence that mean-free paths are not important length scales in the CPP MR by showing that the differences in CPP MR's upon which the above claim was made did not change when the mean-free paths in the N and F layers were reduced from well above to well below their layer thicknesses. We ascribed part of the behaviors of interest to finite spin-memory loss (spin flipping) in the F and N metals, and proposed that the rest might be due to spin nips at F/N interfaces. In the present paper we (a) present further experimental evidence against mean-free-path effects, (b) provide details of the calculations we use to analyze the data, and (c) use measurements of magnetization and polarized neutron reflectivity to show that the differences in CPP MR are not due to spurious differences in magnetic structure between interleaved and separated multilayers, but only to the differences in the relative magnetic alignment of adjacent layers. Additional evidence for this last point is our observation that the CPP MR's of separated samples in their as-prepared states are as large as those of the equivalent interleaved samples after they are taken to above their saturation fields. We show that similar differences between interleaved and separated data appear also in the current-in-plane (CIP) MR's and when the Cu is replaced by Ag.

In the insulating spin-glass phase (x=0.04 and 0.053), the previously reported one-dimensional spin modulation along the orthorhombic b axis is confirmed. Just inside the superconducting phase (x=0.06), however, two pairs of incommensurate magnetic peaks are additionally observed corresponding to the spin modulation parallel to the tetragonal axes. These two types of spin modulations with similar incommensurabilities coexist near the boundary. The peak width kappa along the spin-modulation direction exhibits an anomalous maximum in the superconducting phase near x(c), where the incommensurability delta increases monotonically upon doping across the phase boundary. These results are discussed in connection with the doping-induced superconducting phase transition. C1 Kyoto Univ, Inst Chem Res, Uji 6100011, Japan.

Electronic excitation contributions to the free energy were included from the band structures, and phonon contributions were included using the particle-in-a-cell (PIC) model. The computed elastic constants agree well with available ultrasonic and diamond-anvil cell data at low pressures, and shock data at high pressures. The shear modulus c(44) and the anisotropy change behavior with increasing pressure around 150 GPa because of an electronic topological transition. We find that the main contribution of temperature to the elastic constants is from the thermal expansivity. The PIC model in conjunction with fast self-consistent techniques is shown to be a tractable approach to studying thermoelasticity.

At low temperatures both the exchange bias and coercivity closely follow an inverse thickness relationship, contrary to several recent theoretical predictions. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the coercivity as a function of the ferromagnet thickness provides clear evidence for the existence of two distinct regimes. These regimes were probed with conventional magnetometry, anisotropic magnetoresistance, and polarized neutron reflectometry. At low thickness the coercivity, exhibits a monotonic temperature dependence, whereas at higher thickness a broad maximum occurs in the vicinity of the Neel temperature. These regimes are delineated by a particular ratio of the ferromagnet to antiferromagnet thickness. We propose that the ratio of the anisotropy energies in the two layers determines whether the coercivity is dominated by the ferromagnetic layer itself or the interaction of the ferromagnetic layer with the antiferromagnet.

This region includes the M-IV and M-V edges. The two tungsten films had thicknesses of 107.7+/-10 = and 51.5+/-10 nm; the intensity of the transmitted x rays was measured with a silicon photodiode. The values for the mass absorption coefficient reported here were determined from the ratios of the transmission through the two samples, i.e., through a net 56.2+/-14 nm of tungsten, and some additional constant factors. The M-V,M-IV edges have widths (10%-90% after background subtraction) of 33+/-5 eV and 28+/-5 eV, respectively, compared to zero width in all x-ray tables based on atomic form factors and to 41 eV and 44 eV within a real-space multiple-scattering theory. The measurements are relevant to microspectroscopy and microtomography of integrated circuit interconnects and may be applicable to accurate measurement of the mass absorption coefficients of similar dense elements.

The magnetic excitation spectrum forms a band extending from 0.9 meV to 1.4 meV. The spectrum contains two modes that disperse throughout the a-e plane of the monoclinic unit cell with less dispersion along the unique b-axis. Simple arguments based on the measured dispersion relations and the crystal structure show that a spin-ladder model is inappropriate for describing CuHpCl, Instead, it is proposed that hydrogen bond mediated exchange interactions between the bi-nuclear molecular units yield a three-dimensional interacting spin system with a recurrent triangular motif similar to the Shastry-Sutherland Model (SSM). Model-independent analysis based on the first moment sum rule shows that at least four distinct spin pairs are strongly correlated and that two of these, including tire dimer bond of the corresponding SSM, are magnetically frustrated. These results show that CuHpCl should be classified,as a frustration induced three-dimensional quantum spin liquid. C1 Johns Hopkins Univ, Dept Phys & Astron, Baltimore, MD 21218 USA.

The gas jet can produce liquid droplets of a variety of gases over a wide range of temperature (100-300+/-0.25 K). Measurements of total mass flow for argon and krypton are presented as well as droplet size distributions obtained via dark-field shadowgraphy. Using light scattering, the temporal behavior of the valve is also investigated and the droplet flow speeds measured. The results are explained in terms of the phase diagrams for these gases and the dynamic operation of the valve. This characterization allows for properly interpreting yields of extreme ultraviolet emission from laser-irradiated droplet plasmas. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

We present new evidence from a compilation of over two decades of accurate satellite data that the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) tropical radiative energy budget is much more dynamic and variable than previously thought. Results indicate that the radiation budget changes are caused by changes in tropical mean cloudiness. The results of several current climate model simulations fail to predict this large observed variation in tropical energy budget. The missing variability in the models highlights the critical need to improve cloud modeling in the tropics so that prediction of tropical climate on interannual and decadal time scales can be improved.

We have analyzed CL by several spectroscopic and chemical techniques and measured its kinetic (k(cat) = 1.7 s(-1), K-m = 29 muM) and product inhibition parameters (K-p = 2.1 muM for p-HB). Protein aggregation, a serious problem with wild type CL, proved to be primarily due to the presence of two surface-active cysteines, whose chemical modification or mutation (to serines) gave greatly improved solution behavior and minor effects on enzyme activity. CL is strongly inhibited by its product p-HB, for this reason activity and inhibition measurements were analyzed by both initial rate and progress curve methods. The results are consistent, but in this case where the stable enzyme-product complex rapidly becomes the predominant form of the enzyme, progress curve methods are more efficient. We also report inhibition measurements with several substrate and product analogs that give information on ligand binding interactions of the active site. The biological function of the unusual product retention remains uncertain. but may involve a mechanism of directed delivery to the membrane-bound enzyme that follows CL in the ubiquinone pathway.

But the detection of anthropogenically forced changes in flooding is difficult because of the substantial natural variability(3); the dependence of streamflow trends on flow regime(4,5) further complicates the issue. Here we investigate the changes in risk of great floods-that is, floods with discharges exceeding 100-year levels from basins larger than 200,000 km(2)-using both streamflow measurements and numerical simulations of the anthropogenic climate change associated with greenhouse gases and direct radiative effects of sulphate aerosols(6). We find that the frequency of great floods increased substantially during the twentieth century. The recent emergence of a statistically significant positive trend in risk of great floods is consistent with results from the climate model, and the model suggests that the trend will continue.

The macroscopic polarization response in these materials was investigated by examining the dielectric and polarization behavior in a broad temperature and frequency range. It was found that besides reducing crystallinity in the copolymer film, irradiation produces significant changes in the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition behavior. The irradiation leads to a reduction in the polar domain size to below a critical size (a few nanometers), resulting in the instability of the macroscopic ferroelectric state and transforming the structure of the crystalline region in the copolymer from a polar all-trans ferroelectric to a nonpolar state represented by a trans-gauche conformation. However, a reentrant polarization hysteresis was observed in the copolymers irradiated with higher doses (>75 Mrad). Therefore, there is an optimized dose that generates a copolymer with a nonpolar structure but relatively high crystallinity whose electromechanical performance is the best. In the copolymers in this optimum dose range, FT-IR data revealed that there is not much change in the molecular conformation with temperature, even as the temperature passes through the dielectric peak, indicating that there is no symmetry breaking in both the macroscale and local level. Although the lattice spacing of the crystalline region along the molecular chain direction discontinuously changes between two special cases, the interchain spacing continuously changes with the irradiation dose, reflecting a strong intrachain coupling between the nonpolar and polar regions. On the other hand, the X-ray data reveal that the crystalline size perpendicular to the polymer chain does not change with irradiation until at doses exceeding 85 Mrad.

Wax crystal modifiers based on polyethylene -poly(ethylene-propylene) (PE-PEP) diblock copolymers function as efficient nucleators for wax crystals in middle distillate fuels. These diblock polymers self-assemble in oil to form expansive platelike aggregates consisting of a PE core cloaked behind the amorphous PEP brush layer. The PE core thus promotes nucleation of solubilized long chain alkanes. Additional candidate structures for wax crystal nucleators include linear and star copolyolefins where the composition variation signals the alteration between crystalline and amorphous segments. This study focuses upon the self-assembling behavior in solution of these materials. The characteristics of the single chains and the aggregates formed at lower temperatures were determined via small-angle neutron scattering. Both plates and needlelike structures were found. The placement of the amorphous and crystalline blocks in the arms of the star shaped polymers was found to influence the architecture of the self-assembled micelles. As a point of comparison a commercial copolymer of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) was also investigated. The EVA material was found to be relatively "undisciplined" in comparison to the structurally more uniform anionically prepared counterparts.

A variety of techniques that exploit crystallization-induced contrast, such as diffuse light scattering, small-angle light scattering, light transmission, atomic force microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, are used to identify the LLPS boundary, which is found to exhibit an upper critical solution temperature of 146 degreesC. The composition dependence of the LLPS boundary follows the prediction of Floly-Huggins theory for binary polymer mixtures. The equilibrium melting temperature of the blends decreases with increasing PEB concentration in the miscible phase, whereas it remains relatively constant at 127 degreesC within the LLPS coexistence region. Measurements of the LLPS boundary can be complicated by heterogeneity in the polymer microstructure. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Div Polymers, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

To obtain a better understanding of these low-energy electron spectra and their production mechanisms, we synthesize the expected electron spectrum which is compared with the observed electron spectrum. Two theoretical methods, namely the perturbation theory of Z-expansion (MZ code) and the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method (Cowan code), are used to calculate the necessary Auger electron energies and emission rates. It has been found that the 1s(2)2pnl-1s(2)2s(2)S and 1s(2)2s2pnl-1s(2)2s(2) S-1 decays give the most significant contributions to the observed electron spectrum from threshold up to the 20 eV region. The synthetic electron spectra have also been found to reproduce the observed electron spectra quite nicely when the charge distributions of the projectile Si ions after thin carbon foils are taken into account.

EndoVIII is a functional homologue of endonuclease 111, but a sequence homologue of formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg). Using multiple sequence alignments, we have identified six target residues in endoVIII that may be involved in the enzyme's glycosylase and/or lyase functions: the N-terminal proline, and five acidic residues that are completely conserved in the endoVIII-Fpg proteins. To investigate the contribution of these residues, site-directed mutagenesis was used to create seven mutants: P2T, E3D, E3Q, E6Q, D129N, D160N, and E174Q. Each mutant was assayed both for lyase activity on abasic (AP) sites and for glycosylase/lyase activity on 5-hydroxyuracil, thymine glycol, and gamma-irradiated DNA with multiple lesions. The P2T mutant did not have lyase or glycosylase/lyase activity but could efficiently form Schiff base intermediates on AP sites. E6Q, D129N, and D160N behaved essentially as endoVIII in all assays. E3D, E3Q, and E174Q retained significant AP lyase activity but had severely diminished or abolished glycosylase/lyase activities on the DNA lesions tested. These studies provide detailed predictions concerning the active site of endoVIII. C1 Univ Texas, Med Branch, Dept Human Biol Chem & Genet, Galveston, TX 77555 USA.

The cupredoxin azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has previously been found to exhibit irreversible thermal denaturation, both as holo- and apoprotein [Engeseth, H. R., and McMillin, D. R. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 2448-2455]. In this study, however, we demonstrate that this beta-barrel protein of Greek key topology in fact unfolds reversibly in anaerobic solutions when nonreducible metal ions are ligated to the protein. We show that it is the metal-coordinating cysteine residue (C112) that becomes exclusively oxidized in a transition metal catalyzed oxidation reaction with dissolved O-2 at high temperatures. Both Cu(I)- and Zn(II)-coordinating wild-type azurin therefore unfold reversibly in anaerobic solutions, as well as the Zn(II)-coordinating disulfide-deficient C3A/C26A mutant. Correspondingly, apoazurin mutants C112A and C112S unfold reversibly, even in aerobic solutions, and exhibit nearly perfect two-state transitions. Unfolding of Cu(II)-coordinating azurin is, on the other hand, always irreversible due to autoxidation of the thiolate resulting in Cu(I) and a thiyl radical prone to oxidation.

A single launch state is prepared via excitation with a cw laser, from which a pump pulse excites a superposition of two rotational states on an excited electronic potential energy curve: E(1)Sigma(g)(+)(v(E) = 9, J(E) = 27 and 29). The EA modifies the phase pattern versus wavelength of the ultrafast pump pulses using a pulse shaper with a 128 pixel liquid crystal spatial light modulator. Limitations of frequency resolution for the pulse shaper create an effective temporal window in which pulses can be shaped. Optimization of the photoionization signal at pump-probe time delays outside of this temporal pulse shaping window involves phase shifts of only the two frequencies resonant with the transition of the wave packet states, effectively introducing a phase shift in the wave packet recurrences. For pump-probe time delays inside the pulse shaping window, optimization of the photoionization shows the influence of not only resonant but also nonresonant wavelengths. In this regime., the phase shift of wave packet recurrences as well as the time-dependent wave packet amplitude coefficients are optimized. First order time dependent perturbation theory is used to explain the mechanism by which the photoionization is maximized. These experiments are the first to use an optimization routine as a tool to identify a variety of simultaneous mechanisms that underlie the maximization of a process.

The estimated uncertainties in the calculated values are much smaller than the uncertainties in the available experimental data; the calculated values also cover a much wider range of temperature.

The results elucidate the role of (i) intramolecular vibrational energy transfer and (ii) vibrational nonadiabaticity on the time scale of a reactive encounter in systems with nearly degenerate stretching "local modes." Adiabatic two-dimensional (2D) vibrational eigenfunctions [psi(n)(r(1),r(2),R)] and eigenvalues [E-n(R)] are first obtained in OH bond coordinates (r(1),r(2)) as a function of Cl-H2O center-of-mass separation (R), which then provides the requisite adiabatic potential energy curves and nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements for full 3D quantum wave packet propagation. Inspection of these 2D vibrational eigenfunctions indicates that near degeneracy between H2O symmetric \01(+)] and antisymmetric \01(-)] states is systematically lifted as R decreases. causing vibrational energy to flow into local-mode OH excitations pointing either toward ("proximal") or away from ("distal") the approaching Cl atom, respectively. This suggests a simple yet powerful physical model for mode-specific reactive scattering dynamics, the predictions of which are confirmed by full 3D quantum wave packet calculations over a range of collision velocities.

Quantitative measurement was performed by an analysis of distortions around edge dislocations. The elastic anisotropy varies significantly with the degree of molecular association. The columnar supramolecule containing rigid tapered molecules is stiffer than weakly associated self-assembled macromolecules by an order, resulting in different stability of the mesophase. In addition, defect characteristics are examined to further understand these supramolecular assemblies and their elastic properties. Highly resolved +1/2 disclinations have been observed in the flexible columnar supramolecules. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

When the period of the Si mesa arrays is reduced to 140 nm, a "one island on one mesa" relationship is achieved. The Ge islands have an average base width of 85 nm and take on the shape of a truncated pyramid with four {114} facets and a (001) top. The patterning also serves to improve the island size uniformity. The dependencies of the island morphology on the sizes of the Si mesas and Ge coverages are examined to clarify the mechanism of preferential nucleation of Ge islands on the tops of Si mesas.

We find that the mean-square atomic displacement [u(2)] is diminished by thin film confinement. For film thicknesses comparable to the unperturbed dimensions of the macromolecule, we observe two characteristic crossover temperatures in (u(2)) as a function of temperature T, one above and the other below the bulk T-g. Furthermore, the harmonic force constant K, defined by the low temperature dependence of (u(2)) (i.e., kappa approximate to k(B)T/[u(2)]), increases as the film thickness decreases. These observations suggest that the atoms are more strongly localized in the thin supported films. C1 NIST, Div Polymers, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Neutron powder diffraction verifies that, in both alloys, the principal type of interstitial absorption site is the quadrilateral base of a Pd-defined pyramid situated on the face of an empty triangular prism. The neutron vibrational spectroscopy results indicate that, although the H and D vibrational energies parallel to the Pd pyramidal base appear to be similar for both alloys, the H and D vibrational energies perpendicular to the Pd pyramidal base for Pd9Si2 are approximate to 15% softer than the corresponding energies for Pd3P0.8. Both neutron vibrational spectroscopy and quasielastic neutron scattering show that hydrogen hopping between the two pyramidal absorption sites associated with different faces of the same prism is much more rapid in Pd9Si2 than in Pd3P0.8. This may be directly attributable to the observed softer potential along the hopping trajectory (i.e. perpendicular to the Pd pyramidal base) for the interstitial site in Pd si kompared to that in Pd3P0.8.

The authors chose 10 indicators of extreme climatic events, defined from a larger selection, that could be applied to a large variety of climates. It was assumed that data producers were more inclined to release derived data in the form of annual indicator time series than releasing their original daily observations. The indicators are based on daily maximum and minimum temperature series, as well as daily totals of precipitation, and represent changes in all seasons of the year. Only time series which had 40 yr or more of almost complete records were used, A total of about 3000 indicator time series were extracted from national climate archives and collated into the unique dataset described here. Global maps showing significant changes from one multi-decadal period to another during the interval from 1946 to 1999 were produced. Coherent spatial patterns of statistically significant changes emerge, particularly an increase in warm summer nights, a decrease in the number of frost days and a decrease in intra-annual extreme temperature range. All but one of the temperature-based indicators show a significant change. Indicators based on daily precipitation data show more mixed patterns of change but significant increases have been seen in the extreme amount derived from wet spells and number of heavy rainfall events. We can conclude that a significant proportion of the global land area was increasingly affected by a significant change in climatic extremes during the second half of the 20th century. These clear signs of change are very robust; however, large areas are still not represented, especially Africa and South America.

At the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, we conclude that CO2 concentrations, on average, are significantly lower (0.022 parts per million by volume, ppmv) on weekends (Saturday-Sunday) than during the rest of the week. Over the past twenty-five years, the variation of the mean values of MSR (as a function of day of the week) has been relatively stable. We speculate that the observed weekday/weekend variation in CO2 at Mauna Loa is the result of anthropogenic emissions on Hawaii and nearby sources. We do not detect a weekly cycle in daily CO2 concentration measured at South Pole, Antarctica. This methodology has applicability to a variety of datasets.

Following the initial population of a rovibrational launch state on the A electronic potential energy curve with a cw laser, a single sub-picosecond wave packet preparation pulse centered near 800 nm simultaneously creates a two-state rotational wave packet in the E state (nu (E)=18, J(E)=23 and 25) and a three-state rotational wave packet in the A state (nu (A)=15, J(A)=22, 24, and 26). A temporally delayed 800 nm probe pulse subsequently ionizes both electronic components of the wave packet to allow measurement of the time-dependent coherence in these two electronic states. Via phase manipulation of resonant transition frequencies contained within the preparation pulse, the phases of the E(18,25) and A(15,26) quantum states are either varied concurrently or individually controlled, whereas the phases of the other rovibronic states of the wave packet are in all cases held essentially constant. This phase manipulation is shown to be more complex than a simple additive effect involving the phases applied to the resonant frequencies. These experimental results are compared with the predictions of second order time-dependent perturbation theory. Although systematic discrepancies exist, most likely due to an additional phase introduced during the two-photon probe process, once these differences are accounted for, good agreement is found between experiment and perturbation theory.

Using impulsively excited rotational wave packets in CO2, we increase the bandwidth of a probe pulse by a factor of 9, while inducing a negative chirp. This chirp is removed by propagation through a fused silica window, without the use of a pulse compressor. This is a very general technique for optical phase modulation that can be applied over a broad spectral region from the IR to the UV. C1 Joint Inst Lab Astrophys, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

T. (2002) J. BioL Chem. 277, 345-352)). To extend these studies to the DNA substrate, we have performed F-19 NMR experiments using substrates in which the + 1 T has been replaced with the NMR-sensitive thymidine base analogue 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (5-F-dUrd). Substitution of 5-F-dUrd has little effect on the binding affinity of topoisomerase I for DNA, results in small changes in the cleavage and religation rate constants, and produces a net 3-fold decrease in the cleavage equilibrium constant as compared with the CCCTT consensus DNA. One-dimensional 19F NMR experiments show that the +1 5-FdUrd is in a dynamic equilibrium between a stacked and unstacked state in both the noncovalent complex and the covalent phosphotyrosine complex. These NMR observations are supported by the selective sensitivity of the + 1 T and + 1 5-F-dUrd to KMnO4 oxidation. A role for localized DNA distortion in the topoisomerase I mechanism is suggested.

Sensible and latent heat fluxes were measured by eddy covariance. Bowen ratios ranged from 0.7 to 2.5 in the summer (June-September) depending upon the availability of soil water, but were considerably higher (similar to3-6) during winter (December-March). Energy budget closure averaged better than 84% on a half-hourly basis in both seasons with slightly greater closure during the winter months. The energy budget showed a dependence on friction velocity (u*), approaching complete closure at u* values greater than 1 m s(-1). The dependence of budget closure on u* explained why energy balance was slightly better in the winter as opposed to summer, since numerous periods of high turbulence occur in winter. It also explained the lower degree of energy closure (similar to10% less) during easterly upslope flow since these periods were characterized by low wind speeds (U < 4 m s(-1)) and friction velocities (u* < 0.5 m s(-1)). Co-spectral analysis suggests a shift of flux density towards higher frequencies under conditions where closure was obtained. It is suggested that low frequency contributions to the flux and advection were responsible for the lack of day-time energy budget closure. These effects were reduced at high friction velocities observed at our site. Our ability to close the energy budget at night was also highly dependent on friction velocity, approaching near closure (similar to90%) at 0 values between 0.7 and 1.1 m s(-1). Below this range, the airflow within the canopy becomes decoupled with the flow above. Above this range, insufficient temperature resolution of the sonic anemometer obscured the small temperature fluctuations, rendering measurements intractable. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

One possible reason for the lack of recovery is that high predation pressure on juvenile and larval stages, particularly from species such as herring and mackerel, may regulate the abundance of cod. However, traditional methods used to identify larval cod and haddock often fail when applied to partially digested remains. Here, we described a DNA-based assay to identify the presence of digested cod remains from the stomachs of predatory fish species. After development, the assay was tested on two sets of Field samples. Larval and juvenile cod were successfully detected in both tests. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Using blackbody-calibrated LPRTs to infer the wafer temperature, it is necessary to build a model to predict the effective emissivity accounting for the wafer and chamber radiative properties as well as geometrical features of the chamber. The uncertainty associated with model-corrected temperatures can be investigated using test wafers instrumented with thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs) on which the LPRT target spot has been coated with films of different emissivity. A model of the wafer-chamber arrangement was used to investigate the effects of Pt (epsilon(s) = 0.25) and Au (epsilon(s) = 0.05) spots on the temperature distribution of the test wafers with the emissivity of 0.65 and 0.84. The effects of the shield reflectivity and the cool lightpipe (LP) tip on the wafer temperature were evaluated. A radiance analysis method was developed and a comparison of model-based predictions with experimental observations was made on a 200-mm wafer in the NIST RTP test bed. The temperature rises caused by the low-emissivity spot were predicted and the cooling effect of the LP tip was determined. The results of the study are important for developing the model-corrected temperature measurement and uncertainty estimates using LPRT in semiconductor thermal processes.

In this paper, we describe a dynamic channel estimation algorithm and evaluate its performance in conjunction with a Bluetooth scheduling algorithm that avoids transmission in frequencies used by other devices. Simulation results for several scenarios of interest including different traffic types are presented and analyzed. C1 NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Most of the remaining wetlands behind this barrier island shoreline are expected to be lost within the next 20 years. An effective response to this problem requires a reevaluation of standard coastal management and engineering practices tailored to the unique and critical nature of the Barataria coastal system. This paper outlines current initiates within the Coastal Wetlands, Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) framework that will address the Barataria Bay coastal region. Unique aspects of this process are identified, and design approaches developed for the region are discussed. C1 Louisiana State Univ, Natl Marine Fisheries Serv, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 USA.

Recognizing the importance of evaluating and comparing possible competing solutions to this problem, we previously introduced the HumanID challenge problem consisting of a set of experiments of increasing difficulty, a baseline algorithm, and a large set of video sequences (about 300 GB of data related to 452 sequences from 74 subjects) acquired to investigate important dimensions of this problem, such as variations due to viewpoint, footwear, and walking surface. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation of the baseline algorithm, quantify the dependence of the various co-variates on gait-based identification, and update the previous baseline performance with optimized ones. We establish that the performance of the baseline algorithin is robust with respect to its various parameters. The overall identification performance is also stable with respect to the quality of the silhouettes. We find that the approximately lower 20% of the silhouette accounts for most of the recognition achieved. Viewpoint has barely statistically significant effect on identification rates, whereas footwear and surface-type does have significant effects with the effect due to surface-type being approximately 5 times that of shoe-type. The data set, the source code for the baseline algorithin, and UNIX scripts to reproduce the basic results reported here are available to the research community at marathon.csee.usf.edu/GaitBaseline/.

The key to success of NVODS will be the ability of a user to easily access data for specified locations and times, without special efforts or insights about the data source(s). The NVODS project brings together academic, Federal, and state institutions as well as corporate and non-profit interests. System components, important to the overall success of NVODS, that will be discussed are: 1) the Distributed Ocean Data System (DODS), the foundation for data communications within NVODS; 2) the Live Access Server (LAS), which provides a uniform minimal ability to visualize, subset, and "fuse" (overlay and compute differences between) NVODS data via standard web browsers; and 3) the Unidata Aggregation Server, designed to provide a single file virtual view from a multi-file collection. These components make it possible for suppliers of ocean data to offer their data on the Web at minimal effort -- in some cases requiring only the effort of dropping a DODS server binary onto their computer. Users can access the data in a uniform manner through the NVODS. Further information about NVODS, DODS, and LAS may be found at DODS - http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/dods/ LAS - http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/ NVODS - http://www.nvods.org/.
