    Keywords: Chemical ozone loss (Arctic vortex 1995–96; halogen chemistry)

    Notes: Abstract Severe chemical ozone loss has been detected in the Arctic in the winter and spring of 1995–96 by a variety of methods. Extreme reductions in column ozone due to halogen catalysed chemistry were derived from measurements of the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) on board the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite in the Arctic vortex. Here, we discuss further aspects of the HALOE observations in the Arctic over this period. Potential problems, both in the data themselves and in the methodology of the data analysis are considered and the reason for the differences between the Arctic ozone losses deduced from HALOE data version 17 and 18 is analysed. Moreover, it is shown that HALOE measurements in the Arctic in winter and spring 1995–96 compare well with observations by other ground-based and satellite instruments.

    Notes: The rotational structure of the vibrationless S1←S0 transition of pentacene has been investigated using a strongly collimated seeded supersonic argon beam. Because single rotational lines could not be completely resolved, a band contour analysis was performed. The rotational constants of the electronic ground state X 1A1g were found to be under the asymmetric rotor approximation A″=1320.6(9), B″=117.97(9), C″=108.28(15) MHz, whereas the differences to the first electronic excited state A 1B2u are ΔA=A′−A″=13.2(3), ΔB=−0.764(45), ΔC=−0.54(6) MHz. A new value of the band origin was determined to be ν00=18 648.996(4) cm−1 and the band type was confirmed to be of type b as proposed by symmetry arguments. Good agreement between observed and calculated spectra was obtained assuming planarity in both ground and excited state. From the fit procedure a rotational temperature of about 7 K was deduced. The nuclear statistical weights of the electronic ground state are reported. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Thermally induced strain caused by device packaging is studied in high-power semiconductor lasers by a noninvasive technique. Fourier-transform photocurrent measurements with intentionally strained laser array devices for 808 nm emission reveal spectral shifts of quantum-confined optical transitions in the optical active region. These shifts by up to 7 meV serve as a measure for strain and are compared with model calculations. For a given packaging architecture, about one quarter of the mounting-induced strain is transferred to the quantum-well region of the device. Spatially resolved measurements demonstrate a lateral strain gradient in the devices. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Feeding intensity by whitefish Coregonus sp., in oligotrophic Lake Lucerne in Switzerland was high during dusk when the bulk of potential prey items were in the depth zone occupied by the fish. Diet composition was fairly uniform throughout the day but changed substantially over the seasons. The fish fed opportunistically; differences between seasons reflected changes in prey availability. During the intensive feeding and growing period (May-September), fish were found in the upper 20 m of the lake feeding primarily on cladocerans. Large and non-evasive species, Daphnia spp. and Bythotrephes longimanus, were the most numerous and frequent organisms in the diet during the major part of the growing season. Smaller (Bosmina spp.) as well as evasive species (cyclopoid copepods) were consumed in large numbers when larger, non-evasive species were rare in the lake. The fish showed strong preference for the least abundant crustacean, B. longimanus, while the most abundant crustaceans, calanoid copepods, were rare in the diet. The fish not only selected particular species but, within each species, selected the larger individuals. Diel vertical migration of the prey items in this lake could be, at least in part, attributed to fish predation pressure. The observed selectivity patterns shown by the fish are explained in terms of prey visibility, escape ability, the overlap in distribution of predators and prey in time and space, the profitability of the prey and the present trophic state of the lake.

    Notes: [Auszug] Crustal accretion at mid-ocean ridges is generally modelled as a symmetric process. Regional analyses, however, often show either small-scale asymmetries, which vary rapidly between individual spreading corridors, or large-scale asymmetries represented by consistent excess accretion on one of ...

    Description / Table of Contents: Valve Materials for Combustion EnginesAn overview is being given on production numbers, requirements and properties of valve materials. Their development from the beginning till today's state of the art is reviewed with a focus on Chromium-Manganese-Nitrogen-alloys. Valve materials are grouped by the criteria of density - heavy, lightweight - and alloying elements. The multiple stresses of the material in the valve are being met with a few standardised grades and specific ways of manufacture. The path of the material from bar stock to the finished valve is being followed. Engine development in the past decades increased the load on the valves which could be met by continuously developing their structural strength. Also the strength of all valve materials could be raised to nominal strength above 1100 Mpa by applying specific methods. Higher strength at the surface is being effectuated by work hardening effects. The technology to increase reliability of hollow valves and new aspects of valve seat facing including residual stress is explicitly discussed. General aspects of alloy utilisation is followed by a discussion of lightweight valve materials as Titanium alloys, intermetallic Titaniumaluminide alloys and ceramic materials, spec. Silicon Nitride, which all have a potential as forthcoming valve materials capable of reducing fuel consumption of the engines.
    Notes: Nach einem Überblick über Produktionszahlen, allgemeine Anforderungen und Eigenschaften von Ventilen für Verbrennungsmotoren, wird in einem Rückblick die Werkstoffentwicklung für die Ventilstähle von den ersten Anfängen bis zum heutigen Stand aufgezeigt. Schwerpunktmäßig wird die Gruppe der Chrom-Mangan-Stickstoff-Stähle behandelt. Daneben werden die Ventilwerkstoffe geordnet nach schweren und leichten und innerhalb dieser Gruppen nach Legierungsmerkmalen beschrieben. Es wird über die vielfältigen Werkstoffanstrengungen am Ventil informiert, die mit wenigen genormten Werkstoffgüten und speziellen Fertigungsverfahren problemlos mit niedrigsten Fehlerraten beherrscht werden. Der Weg des Werkstoffes vom Halbzeug bis zum fertigen Ventil wird in allen Schritten verfolgt. Die in den letzten Dekaden forcierte Motorenentwicklung führte zu verschärften Betriebsbedingungen auch für die Ventile, die mit einer kontinuierlichen Weiterentwicklung bestehender Werkstoffgüten und Verbesserungen der Gestaltsfestigkeit der Ventile aufgefangen wurden. In diesem Zusammenhang werden spezielle Lösungen zur Festigkeitssteigerung aller Ventilwerkstoffe bis in den Bereich von über 1100 MPa erläutert, die nach bekannten metallkundlichen Gesetzen ermöglicht wurden. Als wesentliches Prinzip werden ortsabhängig, besonders an der Oberfläche, erhöhte Festigkeits- und Verschleißeigenschaften zur Optimierung der Gestalts- und Betriebsfestigkeit eingesetzt. Über Entwicklungen zur Technologie der Hohlventile und von erweiterten Lösungen beim Auftragschweißen von Ventilsitzen im Zusammenhang mit Eigenspannungen wird ausführlich berichtet. Einer kurzen allgemeinen Betrachtung zum Legierungsaufwand der wichtigsten Ventilwerkstoffe folgt ein Kapitel über Titan, Intermetallische Verbindungen und Keramik, die möglicherweise als zukünftige leichte Ventilwerkstoffe Verwendung finden können.

    Notes: During spherulitic crystallization of polymers, there is a tendency for low molecular weight and other less crystallizable entities to be rejected from the body of the spherulites. This rejection process causes a segregation of these species to those areas where spherulites impinge. As a result of this segregation, lamellar and spherulite boundaries have a tendency to become weak, often resulting in premature mechanical failure. The objective of this work, anthropomorphically speaking, is to develop a melt miscible blend system in which a propylene copolymer “fools” a polypropylene homopolymer into rejecting the copolymer to the spherulite boundaries as an impurity. However, once the copolymer arrives at these boundaries, the copolymer subsequently connects adjacent spherulites through cocrystallization of the propylene copolymer segments. It was found that addition of either a random ethylene-propylene copolymer or an isotactic-atactic block copolymer was able to yield the desired effect. Cocrystallization was confirmed by calorimetry, and segregation of copolymer and subsequent reinforcement at the spherulite boundaries was directly observed microscopically. Using this approach, toughness was increased with little loss in stiffness. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 36: 2047-2056, 1998

    Notes: Plasma protein adsorption patterns on colloidal drug carriers acquired after iv administration depend on their surface characteristics and are regarded as key factors for their in vivo organ distribution. Polymeric latex particles with strongly differing surface properties were synthesized as models for colloidal drug carriers for tissue-specific drug targeting via the intravenous route. Physicochemical characterization was performed for size, surface charge density, zeta potential, and surface hydrophobicity. The interactions with human plasma proteins were studied by way of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE). Considerable differences in protein adsorption on the latex particles were detected with regard to the total amount of surface-bound protein on the various particle types as well as specific proteins adsorbed, for example, fibrinogen, albumin, and a recently identified plasma glycoprotein. Possible correlations between protein adsorption patterns and the physicochemical characteristics and topography of the polymeric surfaces are shown and discussed. Knowledge about protein-nanoparticle interactions can be utilized for the rational design of colloidal drug carriers and also may be useful for optimizing implants and medical devices. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
