    Notes: Abstract.— The effect on growth and survival of the initial stocking density (50, 100, 150, and 200 larvae/ L) in larval rearing of spotted sand bass was evaluated over 30 d in a closed recirculating system. Larvae were fed with rotifers, copepods, nauplii and adult Artemia, and spotted sand bass yolk-sac larvae. Water quality was monitored daily. The notochordal or standard length of sampled larvae was measured by image analysis. Specific growth rates at each density were compared by covariance analysis. Survival was estimated from day 15 to the end of the experiment, when a resistance test was used to evaluate the juvenile quality among densities. At the end of the experiment, mean standard length of larvae at lower densities was significantly larger (P 〈 0.05) than at higher densities. Higher specific growth rates were found at lower densities. Significantly higher survival (P 〈 0.05) was recorded for the lowest density, but the highest number of harvested fish was obtained with the highest densities (150 and 200 larvae/L). The lowest density also showed the significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher survival after using a resistance test. We conclude the highest density can be used in larval rearing of spotted sand bass. However, better survival, growth, and seed quality are obtained at the lowest density. To recommend an optimal density for this specie, it is necessary to improve the water quality in the culture system and to make a cost-benefit study.

    Notes: Abstract.— Spawning behavior and development of spotted sand bass Paralabrax maculatofasciatus were studied in the laboratory. Captive fish (15–20 cm standard length) spawned in 100-L aquaria at 24 C and 35 ppt salinity with a controlled photoperiod (13 h light: 11 h dark). Distinct courtship coloration and displays were observed. Courtship began near noon and continued all afternoon. Spawning occurred toward the surface during late afternoon. Development from fertilization to 3 d after hatching is described. Hatching occurred in 24–25 h at 24 C. Larvae were reared in 100-L aquaria with microalgae, rotifers, and Artemia. First feeding occurred 3 d after hatching, and 5.3% survival was obtained at 17 d (4.1-mm mean notochord length, 1.7–5.5 mm range). On a diet of minced clams and fish, first maturity was reached at 7.5 mo (19.5 g mean weight, 8.3–37.9 g range and 90 mm mean standard length, 66–116 mm range).

    Notes: We report cloning and sequencing of gene ps1 encoding a versatile peroxidase combining catalytic properties of lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) isolated from lignocellulose cultures of the white-rot fungus Pleurotus eryngii. The gene contains 15 putative introns, and the deduced amino acid sequence consists of a 339-residue mature protein with a 31-residue signal peptide. Several putative response elements were identified in the promoter region. Amino acid residues involved in oxidation of Mn2+ and aromatic substrates by direct electron transfer to heme and long-range electron transfer from superficial residues as predicted by analogy with Phanerochaete chrysosporium MnP and LiP, respectively. A dendrogram is presented illustrating sequence relationships between 29 fungal peroxidases.

    Notes: RNase U2 is an endoribonuclease secreted by the fungus Ustilago sphaerogena. Its genomic DNA (rnu2), containing an intron of 116 bp, has been isolated and cloned. The corresponding cDNA has also been synthesized. The recombinant RNase U2 was successfully produced in Pichia pastoris, fused to the yeast alkaline phosphatase signal peptide. The recombinant RNase U2, purified by affinity chromatography, contains three extra amino acids at its amino-terminal end and retains the enzymatic and spectroscopic properties of the natural fungal protein.

    Notes: Moderate pressure techniques (P=20 kbar) have been used to prepare Tl2−xCdxMn2O7 (0≤x≤0.4) pyrochlore-like materials. The x=0.2 compound has been characterized by neutron powder diffraction, magnetic, magnetotransport, and Hall measurements. This material is ferromagnetic below TC=110 K. Both electrical resistance and magnetoresistance (MR) are enhanced with respect to stoichiometric Tl2Mn2O7, due to the drastic reduction in the number of carriers (electrons) induced by hole doping. MR(0.5 T) is higher than 106% at 120 K, and MR(9 T) is 30% at room temperature. We show that hole doped derivatives of Tl2Mn2O7 are promising candidates in which to search for large bulk magnetoresistance. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The use of the polarizable continuum model to develop ab initio effective pair potentials is extended to multicomponent solutions. The methodology takes into account nonadditivity effects on pair interactions computing wave functions perturbed by the solvent. Ca2+–water and Ca2+–ammonia potentials suitable for aqueous ammonia solutions are presented. These effective ab initio pair potentials present smaller binding energies with respect to strictly ab initio two-body potentials. The reduction is higher in Ca2+–ammonia (28%) than in Ca2+–water (22%) and brings to a small gap the difference between the binding energies of the two ligands with Ca2+ when solvent effects are considered. As a first test, metal-ligand clusters of different size and composition have been studied. The comparison with restricted Hartree–Fock ab initio calculations shows good agreement for the largest clusters considered. Results confirm that the presented methodology, based on the polarizable continuum model, describes in a proper way the interactions in the condensed phase, where the ion completes its coordination sphere. The cluster results also show that ammonia can displace water in the first ion coordination with a tendency to change the coordination number from 8 to 9 when the ion is fully surrounded by the former, the ninth ammonia molecule being positioned in an intermediate situation between the first and the second coordination shells. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The photodissociation dynamics of the NeBr2 complex in the B electronic state is studied, for the first time, near the Br2(B) dissociation limit, below and above, when the complex is promoted from the ground T-shaped level in the X electronic state. A time-dependent treatment is used in which the initial wave packet is divided in two portions, one describing the slow predissociation dynamics below the Br2 dissociation threshold, and the second one, the fast complete dissociation in Ne+Br+Br fragments. Below that threshold, the absorption spectrum shows an increasing congestion as the vibrational energy content of Br2 increases, but narrow peaks appear again for the highest energy region of the spectrum. These peaks correspond to long lived resonances associated with "horseshoe" type states, as demonstrated by two-dimensional calculations. These resonances have a significant probability density for the linear geometry in which the Ne atom is inserted between the two bromine atoms. At this configuration the exchange of vibrational energy is rather inefficient which explains both why the spectrum is so sparse and resonances are so narrow. Above the Br2 dissociation threshold, the recombination of Br2 is found to be very inefficient, except for very low kinetic energies. The small recombination probabilities are due to vibrational couplings and not to any collisional caging effect. Since the complex remains essentially T-shaped during dissociation, extensive two-dimensional calculations are performed for longer times to better determine final vibrational distributions at low kinetic energies. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A strategy to build interaction potentials for describing ionic hydration of highly charged monoatomic cations by computer simulations, including the polarizable character of the solvent, is proposed. The method is based on the hydrated ion concept that has been previously tested for the case of Cr3+ aqueous solutions [J. Phys. Chem. 100, 11748 (1996)]. In the present work, the interaction potential of [Cr(H2O6)]3+ with water has been adapted to a water model that accounts for the polarizable character of the solvent by means of a mobile charge harmonic oscillator representation (MCHO model) [J. Chem. Phys. 93, 6448 (1990)]. Monte Carlo simulations of the Cr3+ hexahydrate plus 512 water molecules have been performed to study the energetics and structure of the ionic solution. The results show a significant improvement in the estimate of the hydration enthalpy [ΔHhydr(Cr3+)=−1109.6±70 kcal/mol] that now matches the experimental value within the uncertainty of this magnitude. The use of the polarizable water model lowers by ∼140 kcal/mol the statistical estimation of the [Cr(H2O6)]3+ hydration enthalpy compared to the nonpolarizable model. (−573 kcal/mol for the polarizable model vs −714 kcal/mol for the nonpolarizable one.) This improvement reflects a more accurate treatment of the many-body nonadditive effects. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have calculated the static polarizabilities of polymers with small linear and medium-size cyclic elementary cells and their constituent molecules. The basis set dependence has been investigated for the average and the longitudinal polarizabilities. The influence on the results of the selected method for the calculation (finite field or coupled perturbed Hartree–Fock) was analyzed. The effect of the electron correlation for this property in these systems has been calculated for the first time in the frames of the crystal orbital approach. The results show that this correction amounts up to 35% of the ab initio Hartree–Fock values. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
