    Description: The occurrence and distribution of magnetotactic bacteria (MB) were studied as a function of the physical and chemical conditions in meromictic Salt Pond, Falmouth, Mass., throughout summer 2002. Three dominant MB morphotypes were observed to occur within the chemocline. Small microaerophilic magnetite-producing cocci were present at the top of the chemocline, while a greigite-producing packet-forming bacterium occurred at the base of the chemocline. The distributions of these groups displayed sharp changes in abundance over small length scales within the water column as well as strong seasonal fluctuations in population abundance. We identified a novel, greigite-producing rod in the sulfidic hypolimnion that was present in relatively constant abundance over the course of the season. This rod is the first MB that appears to belong to the {gamma}-Proteobacteria, which may suggest an iron- rather than sulfur-based respiratory metabolism. Its distribution and phylogenetic identity suggest that an alternative model for the ecological and physiological role of magnetotaxis is needed for greigite-producing MB.

    Description: Impact pile driving creates intense, impulsive sound that radiates into the surrounding environment. Piles driven vertically into the seabed generate an azimuthally symmetric underwater sound field whereas piles driven on an angle will generate an azimuthally dependent sound field. Measurements were made during pile driving of raked piles to secure jacket foundation structures to the seabed in waters off the northeastern coast of the U.S. at ranges between 500 m and 15 km. These measurements were analyzed to investigate variations in rise time, decay time, pulse duration, kurtosis, and sound received levels as a function of range and azimuth. Variations in the radiated sound field along opposing azimuths resulted in differences in measured sound exposure levels of up to 10 dB and greater due to the pile rake as the sound propagated in range. The raked pile configuration was modeled using an equivalent axisymmetric FEM model to describe the azimuthally dependent measured sound fields. Comparable sound level differences in the model results confirmed that the azimuthal discrepancy observed in the measured data was due to the inclination of the pile being driven relative to the receiver.

    Notes: The sound radiated by an axisymmetric (two-dimensional) premixed reacting free jet was studied using direct numerical simulation. The jet was injected into cold combustion products. A narrow (in radial extent) high temperature pulse was specified at the jet inlet to stabilize the reacting jet. The computational domain included both the near-field flow and far-field acoustic regions. Both reacting and nonreacting cases were considered. The heat release associated with the reacting jet had a significant effect on the vortical structure, as well as the sound radiation level and pattern, within the jet. The sound radiation pattern and the source terms in Lighthill's equation were used to identify apparent sound source locations. Within the context of the assumptions of the present simulations, the results showed that the effect of heat release was to: (1) Stabilize the jet, (2) enhance sound radiation levels due to an increase in the entropy source, and (3) shift the frequency of the most unstable mode to lower values, resulting in a broader sound spectrum. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Temperature and coverage dependent studies of p-aminobenzoic acid on a Cu(110) single crystal surface show a novel sequence of periodic structures linked to successive removal of hydrogen from the adsorbed species, as shown by LEED, STM, HREELS, and TPD. At room temperature, flat-lying molecules with a primitive unit cell of (3×4) periodicity with glide plane along the 〈001〉 direction are observed. Annealing this surface to 464 K causes partial desorption of H2 and a variation of the intensity in HREELS of various bands and formation of a (5 −22 4) periodicity. STM images suggest the formation of dimers, as a result of the dehydrogenation. On annealing to higher temperatures (510 K), further dehydrogenation forms (6 −51 2) structure. Finally, at 540 K, a (4 −31 2) periodicity is revealed in which all species correspond to dehydrogenated dimers. Through this sequence, all species retain a flat-lying orientation on the surface. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Numerical simulations of an impulsively started jet were performed in order to investigate the effects of trailing jet instability on axisymmetric vortex ring formation. The predictions were compared to experimental results reported in the literature and to recently published numerical results. The total and vortex ring circulations were found to be in good agreement with both the experimental and the numerical results. The presence of a universal formation time scale was confirmed. The results also highlighted an important interaction between an instability which develops in the trailing jet for large discharge times and the dynamics of the head vortex ring. This interaction accelerates the process by which the vortex ring detaches from the trailing jet and has a significant effect on the vortex ring circulation. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A comprehensive study of the symmetric Lévy stable probability density function is presented. This is performed for orders both less than 2, and greater than 2. The latter class of functions are traditionally neglected because of a failure to satisfy non-negativity. The complete asymptotic expansions of the symmetric Lévy stable densities of order greater than 2 are constructed, and shown to exhibit intricate series of transcendentally small terms—asymptotics beyond all orders. It is demonstrated that the symmetric Lévy stable densities of any arbitrary rational order can be written in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions, and a number of new special cases are given representations in terms of special functions. A link is shown between the symmetric Lévy stable density of order 4, and Pearcey's integral, which is used widely in problems of optical diffraction and wave propagation. This suggests the existence of applications for the symmetric Lévy stable densities of order greater than 2, despite their failure to define a probability density function. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The complete asymptotic expansions, that is to say expansions which include any exponentially small terms lying beyond all orders of the asymptotic power series, are calculated for the Fermi–Dirac integrals. We present two methods to accomplish this, the first in the complex plane utilizing Mellin transforms and Hankel's representation of the gamma function, and the second on the real line using the known asymptotic expansions of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The complete expansions of Fp(η) are then used to investigate the effect that these traditionally neglected exponentially small terms have on physical systems. It is shown that for a 2 dimensional nonrelativistic ideal Fermi gas, the subdominant exponentially small series becomes dominant. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: . Homopolar doublets with twofold rotational symmetry were generated in Paramecium tetraurelia and in P. undecaurelia by electrofusion or by arrested conjugation. These doublets underwent a complex cortical reorganization over time, which led to their reversion to singlets. This reorganization involved a reduction in number of ciliary rows, a progressive inactivation and loss of one oral meridian, and a reduction and eventual disappearance of one cortical surface (semicell) situated between the two oral meridians. The intermediate steps of this reorganization included some processes that resemble those previously described in regulating doublets of other ciliates, and others that are peculiar to members of the “P. aurelia” species-group and some of its close relatives. The former included a disappearance of one cortical landmark (a contractile vacuole meridian) and transient appearance of another (a third cytoproct) within the narrower semicell. The latter included a reorganization of the paratene zone and the associated invariant (non-duplicating) region to occupy the entire narrower semicell and a redistribution of zones of most active basal-body proliferation within the opposite, wider semicell. The final steps of reorganization involved anterior displacement, invagination, and resorption of one of the two oral apparatuses and eventual disappearance of the associated oral meridian. An oral meridian deprived of its oral apparatus, either by spontaneous resorption or microsurgical removal, could persist for some time in “incomplete doublets” before regulating to the singlet condition. The phylogenetically widespread events encountered in the regulation of doublets to singlets suggest that Paramecium shares some of the global regulatory properties that are likely to be ancestral in ciliates. The more specific events are probably associated with the complex cytoskeletal architecture of this organism and with the frequent occurrence of autogamy that was described in the preceding study (Prajer et al. 1999).

    Notes: . In this investigation, we compare the multiplication rates and morphogenetic responses of the two most studied Tetrahymena species, T. pyriformis and T. thermophila, at supraoptimal temperatures. Although the upper temperature limits differ greatly in the two species, the pattern of growth responses to high temperature is for the most part similar, with some differences in detail. The transient recovery of cell division at the highest temperature that allows cell division, characteristic of T. pyriformis, is observed in a less distinct form in T. thermophila. Moreover, there is a remarkable difference in developmental response, with drastic abnormalities in patterning of oral structures during the transient recovery of cell division in T. pyriformis, and far more limited abnormalities under similar conditions in T. thermophila. The abnormalities result from spatial disorder in the alignment and orientation of basal body pairs within the early oral primordium, followed by failures in the realignment that normally occurs as oral structures (membranelles and undulating membrane) mature. Both the initial spatial disorder and the failures in realignment are far more severe in T. pyriformis than in T. thermophila.
