    Notes: Abstract Phycomyces blakesleeanus sporangiospores responded differently to activation by physical and chemical stimuli. Spores that were physically (heat shock) activated or chemically (ammonium acetate) activated germinated and grew at pH 4.5 with the hexoses glucose, fructose, galactose, and N-acetylglucosamine, and with glycerol and amino acids. Under these conditions, physically activated spores showed a lower, although significant growth with the hexoses fructose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and with glycerol. On the other hand, physically activated spores incubated at alkaline pH (pH 7.3) required glucose to germinate; a requirement not observed with chemically activated spores, which showed significant growth in the other hexoses tested. Both physically and chemically activated spores incubated at pH 7.3 were unable to germinate and grow with amino acids and glycerol. These results suggest that there are different targets for activation of the spores by physical and chemical treatments. The levels of the fermentative enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase and of the oxidative enzyme NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase were higher in cells grown at pH 4.5 in medium containing glucose; however, alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase appear not to be affected by a change in the pH of the growth medium.

    Notes: The thermal diffusivity and conductivity of cooked tortillas processed under different conditions were measured at room temperature using a proposed open-photoacoustic cell (OPC) detection technique. Samples were cut from cooked tortillas and exposed to air for different times prior to measurements. Variations in thermal diffusivity inversely correlated with cooking time. Lime appeared to increase the degree of crosslinking, raising thermal diffusivity and decreasing cooking time. By careful process modification a measure of control could be used to improve the heat conduction properties of tortillas.

    Notes: The regulation by phytochrome of stem elongation in light-grown plants depends on gibberellins (GAs). To investigate whether this is mediated by a change in GA metabolism, the effect of the GA biosynthesis inhibitor LAB 198 999 (an acylcyclohexadione derivative) on the end-of-day far-red (FR) response in cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) epicotyl explants has been investigated. Growth of epicotyl explants of light-grown seedlings was enhanced when treated with far-red light before incubation in the dark (end-of-day FR effect). Low doses of LAB 198 999 (0.05 and 0.5 μg explant−1) reduced the effect of FR, whereas 5 to 50 μg explant−1 stimulated elongation of both red light (R)- and FR-treated epicotyl explants while nullifying the differences between R and FR treatments. In paclobutrazol-treated epicotyl explants, FR enhanced the response to applied GA1 and GA20, whereas LAB 198 999 increased the activity of GA1 and decreased that of GA20, [3H]Gibberellin A1, injected into the basal part of the epicotyl, was transported and metabolized mainly to [3H]GA8 in the apical 20 mm of the epicotyl. The conversion of [3H]GA1 to [3H]GA8 was dramatically reduced by both end-of-day FR treatments and LAB 198 999 applications. In addition, both treatments enhanced epicotyl elongation. It is proposed that the regulation of cowpea epicotyl growth by phytocrome is mediated, at least partially, by modifying GA1 degradation.

    Notes: Abstract Synkinematic quartz veins are ubiquitous in the shear zone separating the Veleta unit from the Calar Alto unit in the internal part of the Betic Cordilleras. They have been studied with respect to quartz c-axis fabrics, microstructures and fluid inclusions. Veins were probably generated during syn-metamorphic stacking of the units at P = 500 − 600 MPa and T = 400 − 500°C. Quartz displays two groups of microstructures in the shear zone: (1) older coarse-grained mosaics (CGM) resulting from exaggerated grain growth; and (2) younger fine-grained mosaics (FGM) developed at the expense of the former. The fine-grained mosaics show polygonal granoblastic and elongate mosaic microstructures in general, with ribbon microstructures often found near the boundary of the units. Fluids contained in secondary inclusions vary from high salinity brines to different types of CO2—brine mixtures and low density CO2 fluids. Differences in composition and P-T trapping conditions are indicated for the different types of inclusions. Some fluid inclusions are older than the FGM, whereas others are younger, thus constraining the P- T conditions at which the two microstructural events took place. Fluid inclusion evidence suggests conditions of Pfluid 〉 170 MPa and T ≧ 370−430°C for the CGM and Pfluid ≧ 20−80 MPa and T 〉 340°C for the FGM. The quartz c-axis fabrics dealt with here correspond to the second recrystallization event, as little evidence of older fabrics is preserved in the shear zone. C-axis patterns vary across the shear zone from slightly asymmetrical type I crossed girdles in the hanging wall and footwall to more asymmetrical crossed girdles at the boundary of the units. This indicates a correlative increase in the magnitude of the heterogeneous shear strain in the same direction. Most of the deformation is concentrated at the top of the Veleta unit. The sense of movement is top to the west, in agreement with other kinematic markers. The quartz c-axis fabrics resulted from dynamic recrystallization during simple shear. The retrograde P-T path inferred from fluid inclusion analysis, along with other geological and geochronological evidence, indicates that this deformation is coeval with a reduction in the crustal overburden. Geochronological and stratigraphic data show that the proposed Dos Picos extensional detachment, separating the Calar Alto and Veleta units, took place during the early Miocene, synchronous with the intense thinning of the Nevado-Filábride Complex and of the whole continental crust underlying the Alborán Basin.

    Notes: Abstract Studies of rainfall partitioning by shrubs, responses of shrub-dominated ecosystems to herbicide treatment, and experiments using drought and supplemental rainfall were conducted to test the hypothesis that the shrub-dominated ecosystems that have replaced desert grasslands are resistant and resilient to disturbance. Between 16 and 25% of the intercepted rainfall is channelized to deep soil storage by stemflow and root channelization. Stemflow water is nutrient enriched and contributes to the “islands of fertility” that develop under desert shrubs. Drought and rainfall augmentation experiments during the growing season after 5 consecutive years of summer drought found that (1) growth of creosotebushes, Larrea tridentata, was not significantly affected, (2) perennial grasses and forbs disappeared on droughted plots, (3) nitrogen mineralization increased in the short term, and (4) densities and biomass of spring annual plants increased on the droughted plots. Doubling summer rainfall for 5 consecutive years had less-significant effects. Coppice dunes treated with herbicide in 1979 to kill mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) had the same frequency of occurrence of the shrub as the untreated dunes when remeasured in 1993. These data indicate that the shrub-dominated ecosystems persist because they are resistant and resilient to climatic and anthropogenic stresses.

    Notes: Abstract Gamma exposure rate and radon levels were measured in 75 single-family dwellings in Mexico City in order to correlate them with local environment. Radon monitoring was performed both indoors and outdoors using a continuous working level monitor for short-lived radon decay products; the gamma exposure rate was measured using CaSO4: Dy+PTFE. The results obtained show a log-normal distribution. The mean indoor radon concentration is lower than 45 Bq/m3 and the mean indoor gamma exposure rate was 11.29 μR/h.

    Notes: Abstract The trapping efficiency of polyurethane foam (PUF) and Amberlite XAD-2 have been investigated for various OCPs. Atmospheres containing different concentrations of 16 OCPs have been generated and trapped in the solid adsorbent cartridges. Conditions such as the adsorption by the cartridges, the extraction of the compounds, the evaporation of the final solution, the breakthrough value and the analysis of the compounds by GC/ECD have been studied. The adsorption efficiency has been better on PUF than on Amberlite XAD-2. Recovery values ranging from 80% for p-p′ TDE to 105% for heptachlor are obtained, most of them being higher than 90%. The relative standard deviation values for the compounds investigated are less than 5% for a total sample amount of 0.2 μg of each compound.
