    Notes: The heme-containing dehaloperoxidase from Amphitrite ornata was crystallized from an unbuffered solution containing 30% PEG 8000 and 200 mM ammonium sulfate by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. Dark-red bipyramidal crystals are orthorhombic in space group P212121 with unit-cell dimensions a = 68.5, b = 68.4 and c = 61.1 Å. The asymmetric unit contains two subunits related by a non-crystallographic twofold axis. The crystals scatter beyond 2 Å resolution. The native data have been collected and one single-site mercury derivative has been found. SIRAS phasing was used to determine the positions of the heme Fe atoms and structure determination is in progress. A preliminary spectroscopic investigation indicates that the heme is protoporphyrin IX and its coordination sphere resembles that of a typical heme peroxidase, i.e. histidine ligated. Detailed spectroscopic and electrochemical studies are now under way.

    Notes: Ultrahigh-temperature quartz-sapphirine granulite xenoliths in the post-Karoo Lace kimberlite, South Africa, comprise mainly quartz, sapphirine, garnet and sillimanite, with rarer orthopyroxene, antiperthite, corundum and zinc-bearing spinel; constant accessories are rutile, graphite and sulphides. Comparison with assemblages in the experimentally determined FMAS and KFMASH grids indicates initial equilibration at 〉1040 °C and 9–11 kbar. Corona assemblages involving garnet, sillimanite and minor cordierite developed on a near-isobaric cooling P–T  path as both temperature and, to a lesser extent, pressures decreased. Garnet-orthopyroxene Fe-Mg exchange thermometers record temperatures of only 830–916 °C. These estimates do not indicate the peak metamorphic conditions but instead reflect the importance of post-peak Fe-Mg exchange during cooling. Correction of mineral Fe-Mg compositions for this exhange using a convergence approach of Fitzsimons & Harley (1994) leads to retrieved P–T  estimates from garnet-orthopyroxene thermobarometry (c. 1000 °C and 10.5±0.7 kbar) that are consistent with the petrogenetic grid constraints. U-Pb dating of a single zircon grain gives an age of 2590±83 Ma, interpreted as the age of the metamorphic event. Protolith major and trace element chemistries of the xenoliths differ from sapphirine-quartzites typical of the Napier Complex (Antarctica) but are comparable to less siliceous, high Cr and Ni, sapphirine granulites reported from several ultrahigh temperature granulite terranes.

    Notes: Using x-ray diffraction techniques, we measure the root-mean-square width of the buried crystalline/amorphous Si(001)/SiO2 interface, as a function of oxide thickness. We find that the interface width decreases with increasing oxide thickness; the oxide growth process kinetically smoothens the buried interface. We also find a difference between the rate of smoothing for wet and dry oxides. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The Electric Tokamak (ET), currently under construction at the University of California–Los Angeles, is designed to rotate poloidally via a radial current induced by fast wave rf heating fast enough to bifurcate the plasma into a global "H mode" ("high confinement mode"). A global gyrokinetic code is used to explore and illustrate some of the effects on ion temperature gradient turbulence. The realistic radial electric field required to completely suppress these modes for ET parameters is demonstrated to be 〈−30 V/cm at its maximum near the half radius. The effects of both a poloidally supersonic bulk rotation threshold and the shear in this rotation near that supersonic threshold were shown to be important in reducing these modes. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper numerical solutions of Zakharov-type equations for lower-hybrid (LH) waves, including pumping at the long wavelengths and dissipation at short wavelengths in the form of dissipative cavitons are described. The caviton is a quasistationary structure undergoing many sequences of collapse due to dissipation, created by ion–wave interactions, which is compensated for by constant pump action. The possibility of trapping of short-wavelength LH oscillations by much broader density cavitons is investigated both analytically and numerically. Analytic self-similar solutions corresponding to collapse of such cavitons are constructed and demonstrate cascading to shorter wavelengths, which develops faster than the three-dimensional (3-D) quasiclassical cavity contraction. Numerical solutions show the development of deep caviton modulation due to the instability of quasiclassical collapse. Results of the numerical and analytical investigation are used to explain the recent observations of cavity formation in the auroral ionosphere, and show that the measured structures could indeed arise from quasiclassical LH collapse. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract When stimulated either acoustically or tactually, certain species of arctiid moths rhythmically emit trains of clicks from metathoracic tymbals. The purpose of the experiments presented here was to determine the location within the central nervous system (CNS) of the proposed tymbal central pattern generator (CPG) in Cycnia tenera. Motor neuron impulses that underlie tymbal activation were recorded extracellularly from the tymbal nerve while moths were subjected to selective severing of the suboesophageal, prothoracic, pterothoracic and abdominal ganglia connectives. Motor output evoked by either acoustic or tactile stimulation originates from a common CPG because tymbal nerve spikes in both cases are similar in amplitude, waveform and rhythmicity. Our results showed: (1) removal of the CNS posterior of the second abdominal neuromere had no effect, (2) removal of the head decreased the responsiveness of the animal to acoustic stimulation and, (3) severing the connectives between the prothoracic and pterothoracic ganglia abolished responses to acoustic stimuli and diminished responses to tactile stimuli. We conclude that although the minimal circuitry sufficient for activating the tymbals resides in the pterothoracic ganglion, the prothoracic and cephalic ganglia are required for the normal, and in particular, auditory-evoked operation of the tymbal CPG.

    Notes: Abstract  Alkali basalts and nephelinites from the volcanic province of northern Tanzania contain pyroxene and nepheline that show evidence for chemical and/or isotopic disequilibria with their host magmas. Olivine, pyroxene, nepheline and plagioclase all appear to be partially xenocrystic in origin. Five whole rock/mineral separate pairs have been analyzed for Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions. The 206Pb/204Pb ratios are distinct by as much as 20.94 (whole rock) vs. 19.10 (clinopyroxene separate). The Sr and Nd isotopic disequilibria vary from insignificant in the case of nepheline, to Δ 87Sr/86Sr of 0.0002 and ΔɛNd of 0.7 in the case of clinopyroxene. The mineral chemistry of 25 samples indicates the ubiquitous presence of minerals that did not crystallize from a liquid represented by the host rock. The northern Tanzanian magmas are peralkaline and exhibit none of the xenocrystic phases expected from crustal assimilation. The disequilibria cannot be the result of mantle source variations. Rather the xenocrystic phases present appear to have been derived from earlier alkali basaltic rocks or magmas that were contaminated by the crust. Material from this earlier magma was then mixed with batches of magma that subsequently erupted on the surface. Disequilibrium in volcanic rocks has potentially serious consequences for the use of whole rock data to identify source reservoirs. However, mass balance calculations reveal that the 206Pb/204Pb isotopic compositions of the erupted lavas were changed by less than 0.25% as a result of this indirect crustal contamination.

    Notes: Abstract  A series of ferric and ferrous derivatives of wild-type ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and of an engineered K+-site mutant of APX that has had its potassium cation binding site removed have been examined by electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy at 4  °C. Wild-type ferric APX has spectroscopic properties that are very similar to those of ferric cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and likely exists primarily as a five-coordinate high-spin heme ligated on the proximal side by a histidine at pH 7. There is also evidence for minority contributions from six-coordinate high- and low-spin species (histidine-water, histidine-hydroxide, and bis-histidine). The K+-site mutant of APX varies considerably in the electronic absorption and MCD spectra in both the ferric and ferrous states when compared with spectra of the wild-type APX. The electronic absorption and MCD spectra of the engineered K+-site APX mutant are essentially identical to those of cytochrome b 5, a known bis-imidazole (histidine) ligated heme system. It therefore appears that the K+-site mutant of APX has undergone a conformational change to yield a bis-histidine coordination structure in both the ferric and ferrous oxidation states at neutral pH. This conformational change is the result of mutagenesis of the protein to remove the K+-binding site which is located ∼8 Å from the peroxide binding pocket. Thus, mutations of protein residues on the proximal side of the heme cause changes in iron ligation on the distal side.
