    Notes: Abstract Clean ablation of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) at etch rates in excess of 7µm/pulse has been achieved with an excimer laser using 308nm radiation and a 25 ns pulse width. This was accomplished by doping the ultraviolet-transparent PTFE polymer with polyimide. Ablation rates were investigated as a function of fluence in the range from 1 to 12J/cm2 and dopant levels up to 15% (wt/wt). Results show that at a given fluence there exists an optimum absorption coefficient ⇌max, for which maximum ablation rates are achieved. The value of ⇌max was found to decrease with increasing fluence. The relationship between ⇌max and fluence was determined from existing ablation rate models and found to compare favorably with empirical results.

    Notes: Abstract Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) does not exhibit excimer laser etching behavior at conventional, e.g., single photon absorption, emissions of 193, 248, and 308 nm, due to the lack of polymer/photon interaction. This is not surprising since the electronic transitions available to the PTFE molecule are high energy and thus require short wavelength the radiation However, by incorporating a small quantity of material into the non-absorbing fluoropolymer matrix that interacts strongly with the emitted laser energy, e.g., a dopant, successful ablation, both in terms of etch rate and structuring quality occurs. Specifically, excimer laser ablation of PTFE films containing 5, 10, and 15% polyimide (wt/wt) as a dopant was achieved at 308 nm in a fluence range of 1 to 12 J/cm2. Ablation rates for the materials increased with increasing fluence and, at the polyimide levels investigated, varied inversely with dopant concentration. All compositions exhibited excellent structuring quality.

    Notes: Abstract With the advent of new astrophysical opacities it seems appropriate to discuss the need for a full radiative transfer (RT) theory instead of the usual equilibrium diffusion theory used in most nonlinear pulsation codes. Early studies on the importance of RT in the calculation of light curves for Cepheid models showed little effect over diffusion theory. The new opacities though may help to explain the “bump” mass discrepancy problem. For RR Lyrae models the use of RT theory causes some effects both in the color differences (U-B) as well as in the light curves. New opacities help to explain the period ratios for double mode RR Lyrae and beat Cepheids. A new area of research is in the modeling of stars with high luminosity to mass ratios that show tendencies for doubling and transitions to chaos, such as W Virginis and RV Tauri stars. For these stars it has been shown that RT is necessary in calculating their light curves and that the understanding of the shock dynamics depends on the transfer of lines in the pulsating RT dependent atmospheres (Fokin 1991).

    Notes: Abstract Paspalum distichum L. has been the dominant species in the monsoonal wetlands of the Keoladeo National Park in northcentral India since 1982 when grazing by water buffalo and domestic cattle was halted. Maximum water levels in these wetlands occur immediately after the end of the summer monsoon in late September of early October and then decline until the next summer monsoon the following June. After the normal 1985 monsoon, maximum water depths were around 140 cm. After the poor 1986 monsoon, maximum water depths were only around 60 cm. Paspalum distichum maximum aboveground biomass at four sites ranged from 850 g m-2 at the shallowest site to 3400 g m−2 at a deep water site. The maximum biomass of other vegetation types, which had dominated this wetland prior to 1982, ranged from 1400 g m-2 at a deep water site (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk.) to only 240 g m-2 to 400 g m-2 at a deep-water submersed site (Hydrilla verticillata (L. f.) Royle/Cyperus alopecuroides Rottb.) and at a shallow emergent site (Scirpus tuberosus Desf./Sporobolus helvolus (Trin.) Dur. et Schinz). For all vegetation types, biomass changed seasonally in response to changing water levels and temperatures. After the 1986 monsoon, above-ground biomass for all vegetation types was much lower than it had been after the 1985 monsoon. Mean below-ground biomass was very low in all vegetation types (1 to 47 g m-2). Paspalum distichum had a higher aboveground biomass at nearly all water depths in all seasons than that of the pre-1982 vegetation types. Paspalum distichum belowground biomass, however, is comparable to, or less than, that of the pre-1982 vegetation types. During years with an average monsoon, the overall primary production of these wetlands is estimated to have increased 2.5 to 3.5-fold since they were overgrown with Paspalum distichum.

    Notes: Abstract Thailand has a growing demand for improved science-based technologies in the agricultural sector. Traditionally strong in agricultural research, Thailand is encouraging agricultural applications of biotechnology through focused research funding. This article provides a brief account of the status of scientific research in the Thai orchid and seed industries, and examines communication behavior of researchers and innovators in Thai universities, research institutions and firms. Researchers produce relatively few written communications in tissue culture and seed technologies, and technology diffusion relies mainly on personal interactions between the researchers, intermediaries, and users of innovations.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommaire Un project de restauration ou création éxige quelque information concernant le stock grainier, au moins une liste d'espèces. Il y a deux techniques fondamentales pour la détermination de la composition dun stock grainier: la séparation des graines d'un volume du sol et la germination des graines dun volume du sol sous conditions du milieu appropriées. La dernière technique donne toujours des résultats partiaux. En échantillonnant un stock grainier dun marécage, il est bon de prendre autant d'échantillons pris au hasard que possible. Ces échantillons peuvent être combinés defaçon nécessaire pour le traitement. Les études faites sur le terrain dans l'Inde ont dé-montré que les stocks grainiers qui ont persisté peuvent être utilisés dans le rétablissement d'une type préexistant de vegetation dans un marécage de mousson qui a été recouvert par une espèce d'herbe. Les stocks grainiers qui ont persisté dans les marécages de prairie drainés au nord-centre des Etats-Unis indiquèrent que quelques espèces des marécages étaient toujours présentes après 70 ans, mais que la diversité des espèces et la densité des graines avaient baissé d'une manière significative après 20 à 30 ans de culture et drainage. En Floride, aus Etats-Unis, de marécages ont été établis en quelques régions minières en utilisant sols “donateurs” de marécages. Les marécages ainsi établis développèrent rapidement un tapis végétal dense, mais cette végetation manquait souvent plusieurs espèces désirables. Les études experimentales des conditions de l'humidité du sol en utilisant un stock grainier de Delta Marsh (Canada) démontra que l'humidité du sol affecta le nombre total des graines, et aussi affecta la proportion rélative des graines de chaque espèce qui germinent du stock grainier. L'abondance de jeunes plantes émergentes dans le traitment était directement proportionelle à l'humidité du sol, tandis que celle des plantes annuelles était inversement proportionelle. Les espèces émergentes formèrent presque 90% des jeunes plantes dans le traitement le plus humide et 0% dans le plus sec.
    Notes: Abstract The minimum information about a seed bank needed for a wetland restoration or creation project is a species list. There are two basic techniques for determining the composition of seed banks: (1) mechanical separation of seeds from a volume of soil and (2) germination of seeds from a volume of soil under appropriate environmental conditions. The latter method always gives biased results. It is best to collect as many random samples as possible when sampling a wetland seed bank. These can be combined as needed for processing. Field studies in India have demonstrated that vestigial seed banks can be used to re-establish a former vegetation type in a monsoonal wet-land that had become overgrown by a species of grass. In less than a year, 9 of 1 I species in the vestigial seed bank were found growing in areas cleared of the grass. Vestigial seed banks of drained prairie wetlands in the northcentral United States contained a few wetland species after 70 years, although species diversity and seed density declined significantly after 20 to 30 years of drainage and cultivation. In Florida, U.S.A., wetlands have been established in strip-mined areas using donor soils from existing wetlands. Newly established wetlands quickly developed a dense cover of vegetation, although this vegetation often lacked many desirable wetland species. Experimental studies of soil moisture conditions using a seed bank from the Delta Marsh, Canada, demonstrated that soil moisture affected both the total number of seeds, and the relative proportion of seeds of each species that germinated from a seed bank. The density of seedlings of emergent wetland species in the treatments was directly proportional to soil moisture, while that of terrestrial annuals was inversely proportional. Emergent species made up nearly 90% of the seedlings in the wettest treatment and 0% in the driest.

    Notes: Abstract The paper presents the findings of a survey that investigated the level of quality management practice within some 150 UK companies from a sample of 500. It provides a snapshot of practice at the time of the survey, and assesses the impact of government quality initiatives particularly, the TickIT scheme at that time. The survey methodology is described, together with the results and conclusions. The sample has been graded by size of company, which the authors consider to have a significant effect upon the adoption of quality practices. The survey highlights the need to encourage small companies to adopt quality practices and to assist them with the short-term costs incurred.
