    Notes: Abstract After a critical analysis of the strategies for conservation of the environment in Latin America and of large-scale development projects (agriculture and livestock raising, mining and electrical power plants) in the Amazon region of Brazil, this paper deals with the use of high-resolution satellite imagery for environmental monitoring. Two areas were considered in the study, Tucurui and Altamira. Spot/XS and Landsat/TM multispectral images were used, together with color aerial photographs of these areas. A computer-assisted visual interpretation procedure was employed to analyze images, and linear multispectral transformation was applied in selected subscenes in order to improve information extraction. The results indicate that high-resolution satellite imagery is generally compatible with the scale of the environmental problems in Amazonia and is a very efficient source of detailed information at a local scale on many aspects of the environment, in particular for monitoring changes over time in selected areas. Therefore, commercial satellite imagery, processed by specialized software, can accommodate a variety of analysis needs for decision makers and can also be an effective means of verification of international agreements on conservation of the environment in Amazonia.

    Notes: Synopsis We examined the reproductive pattern of an aggregating grouper, the red hind,Epinephelus guttatus, in Puerto Rico. Macroscopic and histological examination of gonads confirmed that, although mature, ripe ovaries are found over a three-month period, spawning activity is limited to about 2 weeks each year. Females are determinate spawners and individuals are able to spawn more than once during the course of the annual spawning season. The red hind is protogynous and 50% maturity is attained at 215 mm fork length. In western Puerto Rico, spawning occurs in aggregations at several sites within loosely defined areas located towards the edge of the insular platform. Sex ratios of individuals taken by hook and line at one of the aggregation areas over a consecutive six-year period, suggest considerable intra- and inter-annual variation most likely attributable to a combination of differential ingress and egress by males and females during the course of an aggregation and to fluctuations in recruitment, differential mortality by sex and sex change among years. A comparative assessment of the reproductive patterns of seven western AtlanticEpinephelus spp. suggests that aggregation-spawning is associated with medium- to large-sized groupers, while smaller groupers do not aggregate. Mating systems vary among congeners in association with trends in male-female size dimorphism, sexual pattern and sperm competition. The short-term, localized, nature of spawning aggregations renders species with this reproductive mode particularly vulnerable to fishing pressure at spawning sites. Aggregating species, therefore, may require special management consideration.

    Notes: A one-pot synthesis of [5 + 6]-, [6 + 6]-, and [6 + 7]-rigid bicyclic guanidines (6, 8, 19, 21, 23) based on a bis(iminophosphorane)-mediated annulation strategy is reported. The crystal and molecular structure of the parent [5 + 6]-bicyclic guanidine 8 has been established by X-ray diffraction. The crystallographically independent molecule forms dimers through a centre of symmetry by N-H-N hydrogen bonds. The molecule, and therefore the dimer, is statistically disordered in a 65/35 ratio. A statistical study of N-H-N hydrogen bonds of this kind of dimers has been carried out by using the Cambridge Structural Database.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Verhalten von mit primären Boramingruppen modifizierten Silikat-Füllstoffen wurde unter verschiedenen Reaktionsbedingungen untersucht. Der Füllstoff mit den besten Verstärkungseigenschaften wurde eingesetzt, um zwei unterschiedliche Vulkanisationssysteme zu vergleichen: ein wirksames Vulkanisationsverfahren (EV), das nach ISO als Methode zur Untersuchung des Verstärkungsverhaltens neuer Silikate empfohlen wird, sowie ein konventionelles Verfahren. Die besten Ergebnisse werden mit Silikat erhalten, welches 3 h bei 500°C behandelt wurde; unter diesen Bedingungen werden die meisten der primären Boramingruppen fixiert. Die Eigenschaften des nach dem EV-Verfahren modifizierten Silikats ähneln denen von mit Silan modifizierten Silikaten und sind in einigen Fallen besser als jene, welche nach dem konventionellen Verfahren erhalten werden. In allen Fallen wird die verstarkende Wirkung von gefällten Silikat-Füllstoffen durch die Boraminbehandlung verbessert.
    Notes: The behaviour of silica fillers modified with primary boron-amine groups has been studied under different reaction conditions. The filler with the best reinforcing properties was used to compare two different vulcanization systems: an efficient vulcanization system, EV, which is the recommended ISO Standards method to study the reinforcing behaviour of new silicas, and a conventional vulcanization system.The results indicate that the best properties are obtained with silica treated for 3 h at 500°C, reaction conditions which fix most of the primary boron-amine groups. Using the EV system, the properties of this modified silica are similar to those of silane-modified silica, and in some cases better than those obtained with a conventional vulcanization system. In all cases, the boron-amination treatment significantly improves the behaviour of precipitated silica as a reinforcing filler.

    Notes: We have recently developed a new method for monitoring Ca2+ concentrations in defined cell compartments. The cDNA encoding the Ca2+-sensitive photoprotein aequorin has been modified in order to include specific targeting sequences and expressed in eukaryotic cells; the recombinant protein, specifically located inside the cells, has allowed the direct study of mitochondrial and nuclear Ca2+ concentrations in living cells. The principles, and the application, of this new methodology are discussed in this article.

    Notes: Fast atom bombardment (FAB) tandem mass spectrometry has been used to analyse the biologically potent, partially modified retro-inverso (PMRI) synthetic isomer of tuftsin: this compound represents the active peptide of the fraction of γ-globulin (leukokinin) which binds specifically to blood neutrophilic leukocytes and monocytes. Protonated molecules and fragment ions were collisionally dissociated at low energies in a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer to yield a complete picture of the reactions that occur in the condensed and in the gas phase. The study shows that, when retro-inversion is within the N-terminal amino acid, charge localization at the basic sites (possibly at the N-terminus) induces a marked decomposition of the molecule, the loss of ammonia being the most favourable fragmentation process. Also, artifacts are formed in the liquid phase via bimolecular reactions promoted by the high-energy beam. The findings indicate that despite the fact that PMRI isomers of this type are stable against exo-peptidases and also stable under acidic conditions, they appear to be labile under conditions where the energy deposition, due to FAB is necessarily high.
