    Notes: Abstract A sensitive interferometric technique has been applied for studying the thermal displacement of thin film heated by electron or ion beams. The steady state displacement has been measured and we discuss the dependence on material properties and film thickness showing that this method has a potential for in-situ monitoring of thin-film deposition or etching. Transient effects are studied in a thin quartz plate and the propagation velocity of thermal waves is measured.

    Notes: Summary Neurotensin- and somatostatin-like immunoreactivities were localized by pre-embedding techniques in retinal whole-mounts and radial sections of a monochromatic glass catfish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis), a dichromatic cichlid species (Aequidens pulcher), and the tetrachromatic roach (Rutilus rutilus). Both neuropeptides were observed in perikarya and processes of amacrine cells. For a precise identification of cell types, tangential and radial views were correlated with Golgiimpregnated material. The dendritic pattern defining the morphological subtype of amacrine cells was determined by the given neuropeptide or by the species-specific degree of complexity of retinal structure and function. Neurotensin-like immunoreactivity was localized in amacrine cells of intermediate size, radial symmetry and dendrites with numerous varicosities; they were monostratified in sublayer 3 of the inner plexiform layer. This cell type was common to all three species. In the mono and dichromatic retinas, a single type of amacrine cell with somatostatinlike immunoreactivity was found with radially oriented, varicose dendrites in sublayer 5. In the tetrachromatic roach retina, two somatostatin-positive amacrine cell types were found with very different patterns of ramification; furthermore, both of these types occurred in more than one sublayer. Possible functional implications for color vision of neuropeptide-specific amacrine cells with uniform morphology in all three species and those with a more varied morphology in the tetrachromatic roach are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Forty amacrine cells in retinae of a cyprinid fish, the roach, were intracellularly labelled with horseradish peroxidase following electrophysiological identification as sustained depolarizing, sustained hyperpolarizing or transient units. Labelled cells were analysed by light microscopy and compared with a catalogue of amacrine cells established in a previous Golgi study on the same species. About 30% of the cell types characterized by the Golgi method were encountered in the present study. When intracellularly labelled cells were differentiated on the basis of their dendritic organization in the plane of the retina, a given electrophysiological response pattern was found to be generated by different morphological types, and vice versa. However, examination of the ramification patterns of the dendrites within the inner plexiform layer (i.e. in the radial dimension of the retina), showed that this morphological parameter of a given amacrine cell could be correlated with its light-evoked response. Several amacrine cell types were found to possess special distal dendrites which arose from the main dendritic branches and extended well over a mm in the retina. Distal dendrites were oriented tangentially with respect to the optic nerve papilla, but did not appear to be involved in any synaptic connectivity. It is concluded that the Golgi-based classification is a valuable tool for identifying intracellularly labelled amacrine cells. However, although the correlation between layering of dendrites in the inner plexiform layer and electrophysiology was generally good, additional physiological parameters would be required to determine whether more extensive parallels exist between structural and functional characteristics of amacrine cells. Alternatively, the considerable morphological diversity of amacrine cells may be of limited physiological significance.

    Notes: Summary Dopaminergic interplexiform cells in retinae of glass catfish were investigated using an antiserum against tyrosine hydroxylase and peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) visualization. In whole-mount preparations, we observed a homogeneous distribution of cell bodies throughout the retina without any indication of regional specializations. At the ultrastructural level, we studied the morphology of labelled telodendria within the outer plexiform layer. Apart from contacts with horizontal cells and bipolar cell dendrites, we report for the first time direct contacts with cone pepdicles and rod spherules. Quantitative evaluation of short series of sections showed that all cone pedicles, and a major part of the rod terminals, were approached in this way. The dopaminergic pathway terminating on photoreceptors is discussed in the context of pharmacological effects of this transmitter in the distal retina during light adaptation, i.e., cone contraction, spinule formation and horizontal cell coupling.

    Notes: To obtain accurate measurements of the limiting viscosity number (LVN) or the intrinsic viscosity [η] of solutions of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a low shear floating-rotor viscometer of the Zimm-Crothers type was constructed to measure viscosities at elevated temperatures (135°C) and near zero shear rate. The zero shear rate measurements for UHMWPE whole polymer and UHMWPE fractionated by hydrodynamic crystallization were compared with viscosity measurements at moderate and high shear rates (up to 2000 s-1) carried out in a capillary viscometer. The limiting viscosity number of UHMWPE decreases, as expected, with shear rate. The higher shear rate data could not be extrapolated to yield the correct zero-shear rate viscosities. Fractionation of UHMWPE gave 10 fractions ranging in LVN from 9 to 50 dL/g. A tentative integral molecular weight distribution for the whole polymer was calculated on the basis of the Mark-Houwink equation, but because it had been previously established only for lower molecular weight polyethylenes, it may not be accurate. A correlation was found between the LVNs for the fractions in the two types of viscometers.

    Notes: A study of size effects in the ultimate mechanical properties of crystalline and semicrystalline polymeric materials (fibers, single crystals) is conducted. The concept of size effect and its importance are discussed. A statistical/stochastic approach is adopted and is shown to yield analytical predictions which are at least as accurate as other modeling schemes (mainly based on fracture mechanics theory) previously proposed in the literature. Within this framework, we propose a possible scheme for simultaneous interpretation of both longitudinal (gauge length) and transversal (diameter) size effects, which provides some interesting information regarding the type of flaw population present in a given polymeric material. The statistical scheme used is based on the Poisson/Weibull model, and variants of it, since this model is relatively well established from both physical and experimental viewpoints. Some unsolved problems inherent to the Weibull/weakest link model for failure are discussed, and a new distribution function for the strength of solids is derived. This is illustrated through an analysis of available experimental data for ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene, poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide (Kevlar), polydiacetylene, and polyoxymethylene. A maximum likelihood approach is used for the first time for interpreting the effect of diameter variability on the mechanical strength of polymeric fibers. We propose a procedure by which the Weibull shape parameter is maximized over a continuous range of values of the size exponent. Finally, we conjecture on the relative roles of defect populations distributed over the boundary and in the bulk.

    Notes: We investigated the high-density luminescence and non-linear transmission of ZnTe layers grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). For the high-density luminescence we compared ZnTe layers on (001) GaAs substrate with free-standing ZnTe layers of equal thickness. At high excitation intensities a strong luminescence P band appears a few meV below the free exciton energy which is assigned to resonant exciton-scattering processes. A second strong luminescence N band occurs only in free-standing layers. It shows a remarkable red shift with increasing intensity and becomes the dominant emission for an excitation intensity Iexc 〉 1.5 MW cm-2. This lower-energy band was interpreted as electron-hole plasma recombination.The optical non-linearity of thin ZnTe layers in the excitonic region was investigated by pump-and-probe experiments at 2 K and room temperature (RT). For these experiments we used two different pump energies, one above (at 2 K and RT) and one below (at 2 K) the band gap energy. In all cases a red shift and a large non-linear decrease in the excitonic absorption with increasing pump intensity was observed. The experimental results can be explained by many-body effects of exciton screening.
