    Notes: Abstract Using a heteroduplex approach and direct sequencing, we have completed the screening of approximately 88% of the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)-coding sequence of DNA extracted from 33 schwannomas from NF2 patients and from 29 patients with sporadic schwannomas. The extensive screening has resulted in the identification of 33 unique mutations. Similarly to other human genes, we have shown that the CpG sites are more highly mutable in the NF2 gene. The frequency, distribution, and types of mutations were shown to differ between the sporadic and familial tumors. The majority of the mutations resulted in protein truncation and were consistent with more severe phenotype, however three missense mutations were identified during this study and were all associated with milder manifestations of the disease.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 1. The brain of the ant Formica rufa has been studied (mushroom bodies; unstructured protocerebral neuropil, central body and deutocerebrum) with normal stains, silver impregnations, electron microscopy and lesions with subsequent degeneration of fibers. 2. The mushroom bodies mainly consist of four groups of nerve cells, differing in the location of the cell bodies and the structure of the dendritic arborizations. The axons of all these cells pass down the pedunculus; bifurcate and send branches to the \ga- and \gb-lobe. Little endings all over the axons are claimed to be synaptic regions. Lesions with following degeneration of the fibers show that axons of cell groups I and IV pass down to the \ga- and \gb-lobe in the middle of the neuropil. Groups II and III follow each other in the outer parts. \ldCentral endings\rd described by Trujillo-Cenoz and Melamed (1962) seem to belong to neurons from other lobes of the brain to the calyces, while the \ldthin fibers\rd are parts of mushroom body neurons. Terminations of neurons arising from other cells, connecting the mushroom bodies with sensory and motor lobes of the brain, are present all over the mushroom body neuropil. Endings in the calyx all show same structure. It could be pointed out that neurons of tracts originating from the antennal glomeruli and the lateral neuropil send arborizations in both calyces. Terminations of tracts ending in pedunculus, α- and β-lobe all are developped in the same manner, but differ from those in the calyx. Each ending is connected with many mushroom body neurons, covering a great part of the area of those lobes in cross sections. 3. Mushroom bodies, protocerebral bridge and central body are surrounded by a large mass of unstructured neuropil of the protocerebral lobes. In the anterior part of the protocerebrum the unstructured neuropil of both hemispheres is closely connected, but in the other parts a clear boundary between the two hemispheres exists and no connections \3- except few commissures \3- can be seen. Several different neuron systems have been found in the lateral lobes One system connecting the lobes with the calyces of the mushroom bodies and other tracts with arborizations in the pedunculus, one part entering the commissure dorsal of the central body, the other part terminating in the β-lobe of the other hemisphere. Further tracts are passing between ventral parts of the lateral neuropil and the central body. 4. The central body consists of three parts of neuropil, separated by cell-bodies. \ldHorizontal-systems\rd, fibers from the antennal glomeruli, lateral neuropil and \gb-lobes enter the sides of the central body neuropil, while \ldvertical systems\rd enter from ventral between the two \gb-lobes and dorsal, leaving the commissure between the two hemispheres. Two systems have been found connecting central body and mushroom bodies. Impregnations only show parts, so it is assumed that arborizations of these fibers also penetrate the unstructured protocerebral neuropil. 5. The antenno-motor center of the deutocerebrumis closely connected with protocerebral and subesophageal structures and shows equal distribution of neuropil unlike the sensory center, where synaptic glomerulus regions differ from the other parts of neuropil. The antennal nerve consists of about 60000 fibers, the major part entering the sensory center. Some fibers pass by and terminate in the antenno-motor neuropil. Three groups of fibers could be detected in the antennal nerve, but it only seems to be shure for one group (40000 fibers with 0,05-0,2 μ diameter per fiber) to function as sensory fibers. Each fiber only enters one glomerulus, so that each glomerulus is claimed to receive about 200 incoming antennal fibers. Outgoing tracts to other lobes of the brain are in connection with all parts of the sensory center and each fiber has its terminations in only one deutocerebral glomerulus. Segmental internuncials with cell-bodies lateral and medial of the neuropil unite several deutocerebral glomeruli. 6. Structure and function. It is tried to give some histological explanations for physiological results obtained by stimulation and lesions. Possible tracts for inhibition between the mushroom bodies and for connections between the mushroom bodies and the central body are enumerated. Structures and physiological results in the neuropil of the lateral protocerebral neuropil and their relations to the central body, pedunculi and calyces of the mushroom bodies are in accordance. The unstructured parts of the protocerebral neuropil seem to play an important coordinating role concerning integrative processes in the brain of insects.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 1. Mit gew\:ohnlichen F\:arbemethoden, Metallimpr\:agnation, Elektronenmikroskopie und L\:asion mit Verfolgung der degenerierten Fasern wurde das Gehirn (Pilzk\:orper, Protocerebralloben, Zentralk\:orper und Deutocerebrum) der Ameise Formica rufa untersucht. 2. Im Pilzk\:orper wurden vier Zelltypen aufgefunden, die sich vor allem in der Lage der Zellk\:orper und der Struktur der Dendriten unterscheiden. Die Axone s\:amtlicher Zellen treten sowohl in den \ga- als auch \gb-Lobus ein. Kleine Stummel an den Axonen im Pedunculus, \ga- und \gb-Lobus werden als synaptische Bereiche angesehen. Durch L\:asionen konnte der Verlauf der Axone der einzelnen Zellgruppen verfolgt werden. Die von Trujillo-Cenoz u. Melamed (1962) beschriebenen “central endings” sind als Teile pilzkörperfremder Neuronen anzusehen, während die “thin fibers” den Dendriten der Pilzkörperneuronen angehören. Verzweigungen pilzkörperfremder Fasern finden sich in allen Teilen des Pilzkörperneuropilems. Die im Calyx endigenden Neuronen zeigen alle dieselbe Struktur. Für zwei Faserzüge wurde nachgewiesen, daß ihre Neuronen in beide Becher Verzweigungen abgeben und somit mit sämtlichen Becherbereichen in Verbindung stehen. Die Endigungen der pilzkörperfremden Systeme im Pedunculus, α- und β-Lobus weisen untereinander den gleichen Ban auf, unterscheiden sich aber von den Verzweigungen im Calyx. Jedes Neuron erfaßt einen größeren Teil der Querschnittsfläche. 3. Im frontalen Bereich des Protocerebrums sind beide Protocerebralloben eng miteinander verbunden, weiter zum \gb-Lobus bin trennen sie sich vollst\:andig. Auf der H\:ohe der \gb-Loben erfahren die Lateralloben ihre gr\:o\sBte Ausdehnung, da mehrere verschiedene Neurongruppen ausgebildet sind: Fasern von den Lateralloben zum Calyx, zum Pedunculus und von da zur Kommissur dorsal des Zentralk\:orpers und zum \ga-Lobus der Gegenseite, von den ventralen Protocerebrallobusbereichen zum Zantralk\:orper. Bemerkenswert ist die enge Verkn\:upfung mit den Pilzk\:orpern, vor allem aber ein System, das Protocerebralloben, Calyx, \ga- und \gb-Lobus miteinander verbindet. 4. Der Zentralkorper ist ein bilateralsymmetrisch aufgebautes Gebilde, in das \l"Horizontalsysteme\r" vom sensorischen Deutocerebralteil, vom Protocerebrallobus und von den \gb-Loben der Pilzk\:orper eintreten. „Vertikalsysteme” kommen von ventral und dorsal von der Kommissur zwischen den beiden Protocerebralhälften her. Zwei Systeme wurden aufgefunden, die die Zentralkörperteile mit den Pilzkörpern verbinden. 5. Der motorische Teil des Deutocerebrums steht in enger Verbindung mit dem Protocerebrum und dem Unterschlundganglion und weist keine auff\:alligen Neuropilemstrukturen auf. Im sensorischen Teil dagegen sind die Antennalglomeruli als die Synapsenbereiche gegen\:uber den \:ubrigen Fasermassen deutlich zu unterscheiden. Von der Antenne führen etwa 60000 Nervenfasern zum Deutocerebrum. Ein Teil davon zieht direkt durch zum motorischen Teil. Der Antennennerv besteht aus drei Fasergruppen. Sensorische Tätigkeit kann nur für eine Gruppe (40000 Fasern mit je 0,05-0,2 μ Durchmesser) mit Sicherheit angenommen werden. Jede Antennenfaser endet in nur einem Glomerulus. In jeden Glomerulus treten etwa 200 Antennenfasern ein. Jede der vom sensorischen Deutocerebralteil zu anderen Hirnbereichen weiterziehenden Nervenfasern steht nur mit einem Glomerulus in Verbindung, dock kommen die Fasern der einzelnen Bahnen aus sämtlichen Bereichen des sensorischen Deutocerebralteiles. Interneuronen im sensorischen Deutocerebralteil verbinden die einzelnen Glomeruli miteinander. 6. Struktur und Funktion. Es wird versucht, physiologische Befunde (elektrische Reizung, L\:asion) auf Strukturen im Insektengehirn zur\:uckzuf\:uhren. M\:ogliche Verbindungen f\:ur eine gegenseitige Hemmung der Pilzk\:orper werden genannt, Bahnen zwischen Pilzk\:orpern und Zentralkbrper sind ausgef\:uhrt. Strukturen und physiologische Befunde im Bereich der Protocerebralloben und ihre Beziehung zum Zentralk\:orper und zu den Pilzk\:orpern zeigen gro\sBe \:Ubereinstimmung. Den Protocerebralloben scheint eine wesentliche koordinative Beteiligung bei Verarbeitungsvorgängen im Insektengehirn zuzukommen.

    Notes: Abstract  High-performance permanent magnets (pms) are based on compounds with outstanding intrinsic magnetic properties as well as on optimized microstructures and alloy compositions. The most powerful pm materials at present are RE–TM intermetallic alloys which derive their exceptional magnetic properties from the favourable combination of rare earth metals (RE=Nd, Pr, Sm) with transition metals (TM=Fe, Co), in particular magnets based on (Nd,Pr)2Fe14B and Sm2(Co,Cu,Fe,Zr)17. Their development during the last 20 years has involved a dramatic improvement in their performance by a factor of 〉15 compared with conventional ferrite pms therefore contributing positively to the ever-increasing demand for pms in many (including new) application fields, to the extent that RE–TM pms now account for nearly half of the worldwide market. This review article first gives a brief introduction to the basics of ferromagnetism to confer an insight into the variety of (permanent) magnets, their manufacture and application fields. We then examine the rather complex relationship between the microstructure and the magnetic properties for the two highest-performance and most promising pm materials mentioned. By using numerical micromagnetic simulations on the basis of the Finite Element technique the correlation can be quantitatively predicted, thus providing a powerful tool for the further development of optimized high-performance pms.

    Notes: Summary Cytogenetic studies of an 8-year-old caucasian girl with typical but mild manifestation of Bloom's syndrome showed a characteristic increase of homologous chromatid translocations and prematurely condensed chromosomes. The average frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in lymphocytes with 133 was much higher than in skin fibroblasts with 49. The inter- and intrachromosomal distributions of SCE in lymphocytes were analyzed.

    Notes: Abstract Point-contact spectra of YBa2(Cu1−x Zn x )3O7/Ag are studied at various temperatures. The differential resistance dV/dI of the point contacts shows gap-related structures belowT c which can be attributed to Andreev reflection. Evaluation of many spectra for each sample taken at 4.2 K yields a wide distribution of voltages Δ/e at which these structures occur. The upper limit varies roughly as expected from the depression ofT c by Zn-doping from Δ/e=29 mV (x=0) to 9 mV (x=0.05), while the lower limit decreases much faster and disappears forx=0.05. Hence, the Zn doped samples exhibit a tendency to gapless superconductivity as suggested earlier on the basis of specific-heat measurements.

    Notes: Abstract: We report on Shubnikov-de Haas and de Haas-van Alphen measurements of an organic metal based on the molecular donor bis(ethylenedioxy)-tetrathiavulvalene (= BEDO-TTF) and the anion Cl- with H2O molecules. The observed single oscillation frequency perfectly follows the two-dimensional dependence with T. The Fermi-surface area of of the first Brillouin zone proves a quarter-filled band, i.e., a 2:1 stoichiometry of the BEDO-TTF donor with respect to the anion. The apparent discrepancy to X-ray data which give a 1:1 ratio between BEDO-TTF and Cl- is understood by replacement of H2O molecules with (H3O)+ ions. The proposed stoichiometry therefore is (BEDO-TTF)2 +(H5O2)+(Cl-)2. The cyclotron effective mass is when deduced from the temperature dependence of the fundamental oscillation amplitude, but strongly reduced when extracted from higher harmonics. This and the strong harmonic content of the oscillations signals an influence of the two-dimensional electronic structure and can be qualitatively understood by applying the concept of magnetic interaction to the effect of the oscillatory chemical potential.

    Notes: Abstract Marine geological information is synthesized to provide the most comprehensive history available of sea surface conditions of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea during the Neogene ice age. The initiation of glaciation in this region at approximately 3.0 Ma can be inferred only from indirect sources. DSDP Leg 38 recovery in glacial sections is summarized, and the research of CLIMAP members is reviewed. Quarternary sediments of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea are compared to Arctic, Antarctic, and North Atlantic regions. Evidence concerning the existence of permanent ice cover during glacial stages is considered to be inconclusive. Warning of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea at the end of the Weichselian Glacial Stage began approximately 13,000 abp, and there is no demonstratable concordance between oceanic conditions and terrestrial climates of Scandinavian after North Atlantic water re-enterred this sea. Recession of an ice shelf of unknown extent on the continental margin northwest of Möre, Norway is inferred from slope sediments and physiography.

    Notes: Abstract We report on point-contact spectroscopy experiments on superconducting Sr 2 RuO 4 . For current injection into the ab-plane two distinctly different types of spectra are observed, one with a double-minimum structure and one with a zero-bias anomaly which gives evidence for unconventional pairing in this system. For current injection into the c-direction non-spectroscopic effects are dominant.

    Notes: Abstract We present first de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) experiments on the quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) organic metals α-(ET)2MHg(SeCN)4(M = Tl or K) and compare the results with dHvA data of the isostructural organic superconductor α-(ET)2NH4Hg(SCN)4. The angular dependences of the single found dHvA frequency and the field-independent effective cyclotron mass, mc, perfectly follow the 2D 1/cosΘ behavior. From the observed spin-splitting zeros we unambiguously could extract the values of gμb. Comparison with mc strongly suggests a reduced electron-phonon coupling constant in the non-superconducting salts.

    Notes: Abstract The Fermi surface of the nonmagnetic borocarbide superconductor YNi2B2C was studied by the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect. Five branches of dH-vA frequencies are observed in the normal state for B ∥ c and the angular dependence was investigated with magnetic fields in the (110) plane. Together with the effective cyclotron masses, mc, the result is discussed in the context of electronic band-structure calculations.
