    Notes: Abstract  Suspensions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers containing 5, 10 or 20% (w/w) surfactant protein SP-B have been reconstituted and spread at air-liquid interfaces. Compression isotherms of DPPC/SP-B monolayers spread from these preparations were qualitatively comparable to the isotherms of the corresponding DPPC/SP-B monolayers spread from solvents. SP-B was squeezed-out at higher pressures from vesicle-spread films than from solvent-spread monolayers. SP-B caused a marked decrease on the rate of relaxation of DPPC collapse phases to equilibrium pressures in all the lipid/protein films assayed. This stabilizing effect was higher in vesicle-spread than in solvent-spread monolayers. Inclusion in the films of traces of the fluorescent probe NBD-PC (1 mol%) and use of a fluorescent derivative of SP-B labeled with a rhodamine derivative, Texas Red, allowed for direct observation of protein and lipid domains at the interface by epifluorescence microscopy. Upon compression, SP-B altered the packing of phospholipids in the bilayer-spread films, observed as a SP-B-induced reduction of the area of liquid-condensed domains, in a way similar to its effect in solvent-spread monolayers. SP-B was not associated with condensed regions of the films. Fluorescence images from vesicle-spread films showed discrete fluorescent aggregates that could be consistent with the existence of lipid-protein vesicles in close association with the monolayer. Both the retention of SP-B at higher surface pressures and the greater stability of collapse phases of DPPC/SP-B films prepared by spreading from liposomes in comparison to those spread from solvents can be interpreted as a consequence of formation of complex bilayer-monolayer interacting systems.

    Notes: Abstract.  The correlation between the surface roughness and the surface recombination velocity in CdTe is explored. This is achieved through the use of atomic force microscopic analysis and the investigation of the photoacoustic signal as a function of the modulation frequency in a heat-transmission configuration. It is also shown that in the modulation frequency range where the samples are thermally thick, analyses of the photoacoustic signal amplitude and phase can single-out the different non-radiative recombination heat sources responsible for the signal, even in the case where the regimes are strongly mixed. The procedure employed in this investigation reveals as a very promising method in the field of characterization of surface finishes in semiconductors.

    Notes: Abstract The ftsZ gene was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of Brevibacterium lactofermentum by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using two oligonucleotides designed from two conserved regions found in most of the previously cloned and sequenced ftsZ genes from other microorganisms. ftsZ is a single-copy gene in corynebacteria and is located downstream from ftsQ and murC, indicating linkage between genes involved in peptidoglycan synthesis (mur genes) and genes involved in cell division (fts genes). The organisation of the cluster is similar to that in Streptomyces and different from those of Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis because ftsA is not located upstream of ftsZ. The gene was expressed in E. coli using the T7 expression system; the calculated molecular weight of the expressed protein was 50 kDa. Expression of the B. lactofermentum ftsZ gene in E. coli inhibited cell division and led to filamentation. The ftsZ gene of this organism does not complement ftsZ mutations or deletions in E. coli, when cloned on low or high-copy-number vectors.

    Notes: Abstract The mobilization of plasmids from gram-negative Escherichia coli to gram-positive Brevibacterium lactofermentum, mediated by P-type transfer functions, was used to construct disrupted mutants blocked specifically in the homoserine branch of the aspartate pathway. The mutant strain B. lactofermentum R31 showed an efficiency of conjugal transfer two to three orders of magnitude higher than that of the wild-type strain B.␣lactofermentum ATCC 13869. The hom- and thrB- disrupted mutants of B. lactofermentum ATCC 13869 were lysine overproducers. B. lactofermentum R31 mutants do not overproduce lysine because R31 is an alanine-overproducing strain and channels the pyruvate needed for lysine biosynthesis to the production of alanine.

Beide Komplexe haben quadratisch-planare Struktur, die zwei Cl-Atome und die N1-Creatinin-Atome sind an Pd intrans-Konfiguration koordiniert, währenddessen in VerbindungII die I-Atome und die N1-Atome incis-Konfiguration zueinander stehen. Trotz früherer Differenzen zeigen die TG- und DTA-Kurven der Komplexe, daß ihre Stabilitäten sehr ähnlich sind. Da besonders inII ein ausgedehntes Wasserstoffbindungssystem vorhanden ist, werden auch mögliche Konsequenzen bezüglich biologischer Wirksamkeit kurz diskutiert.
    Notes: Abstract New complexes of the formulaetrans-Pd(Creat)2Cl2·2H2O (I) andcis-Pt(Creat)2I2·3H2O (II) have been prepared and their structures and stabilities studied by X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. Both compounds have a squareplanar geometry, the two Cl atoms and N1 creatinine atoms are coordinated to Pd intrans configuration, while in compoundII the I atoms and N1 atoms are coordinated incis configuration. In spite of the earlier differences, the TG and DTA curves of the complexes show that their stability is very similar. Since an extended hydrogen bond system is present in the crystals, especially inII, the possible consequences in biological media are discussed briefly.

    Notes: Abstract Vermillion has been shown to be useful in preserving human bones from 5000 years ago. Remarkably well-preserved human bones have been found in the dolmenic burial ‘La Velilla’ in Osorno (Palencia, Spain), carefully covered by pulverized cinnabar (vermillion) which ensured their preservation even in non-favorable climatic conditions. We believe the red powder was deliberately deposited for preservative use because no cinnabar mine is to be found within 160 km, because of the large amount (hundreds of kilograms) used, and because its composition, red mercuric sulphide, is similar to that of preparations used in technical embalming. This finding pushes back the data of the use of mercury ore for preservation by four millennia in South America, and by at least one millennium in the Old World. Chemical and thermal analyses of vermillion in La Velilla have demonstrated its great purity and shown that the cinnabar was pulverized and washed (but not heated), producing a bright red-orange tone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mittels isothermer und dynamischer thermogravimetrischer Methoden wurde die Kinetik der thermischen Zersetzung des Hexahydrates von Praseodymnitrat untersucht. Eine kinetische Auswertung der isothermen Meßdaten unter Anwendung verschiedener Feststoffreaktionsmodelle ergab, daß die Reaktion am besten durch ein phasengrenzenkontrolliertes Randomkeimbildungsmodell beschrieben werden kann. Die kinetische Auswertung der dynamischen TG-Kurven wurde diskutiert und ein kritischer Vergleich zwischen zwei Integriermethoden, der von Coats und Redfern und der von Ozawa, angestellt. Die Betrachtungen ergaben, daß die Methode von Ozawa eine bessere Korrelation liefert und daß die Resultate gut mit denen der isothermen thermogravimetrischen Messungen übereinstimmen.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of thermal decomposition of praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate was studied by using isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetric techniques. Kinetic analysis of the isothermal data with respect to various solid-state reaction models showed that the reaction is best described by phase boundary-controlled and random nucleation models. Kinetic analysis of the dynamic TG curves was discussed and a critical comparison was made of two integral methods, that of Coats and Redfern and that of Ozawa. The results showed that the Ozawa method gives a better correlation, and the results are in good agreement with those obtained under isothermal thermogravimetric conditions.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung der Hydrate von 5 neutralen Sulfatokomplexen und 5 Hydroxy-sulfatokomplexen des Uran(IV) wurde untersucht. Die Hydrate ergaben keine entsprechenden stabilen wasserfreien Verbindungen. Nach ihrer Dehydratisierung werden die Komplexe in endothermen Reaktionen durch fortschreitende Substituierung des (freigesetzten) Schwefeltrioxids durch Sauerstoff zersetzt, wobei Oxysulfate und andere Oxyverbindungen entstehen.
    Notes: Abstract A study was made of the thermal decompositions of the hydrates of 5 neutral sulphate complexes and 5 hydroxy-sulphate complexes of uranium(IV). The hydrates did not yield corresponding stable anhydrous compounds. After dehydration, the complexes decomposed in endothermic reactions involving progressive substitution of sulphur trioxide (that is liberated) by oxygen, giving oxy-sulphates and other compunds.

    Notes: Abstract We discuss recent results of radius to frequency mapping of pulsars. This method shows that for 43 pulsars the radio emission originates near the polar cap for millisecond pulsars and a few hundred km away for longer period pulsars. If the magnetospheres of these object contain dipolar magnetic fields, the corresponding magnetic field strength in the emission region is about 107 gauss, for all pulsars in the sample. We investigate possible physical reasons for the location of the radio emission.

    Notes: Abstract It is assumed that pulsar radiation originates in a polar cap region and that the emission mechanism is curvature radiation. It is further assumed the radiation reaching an observer at any one time may represent contributions from several particle bunches moving relativistically along different magnetic field lines and radiating mutually incoherently. These assumptions are used to explanation of the minimum of linear polarization appearing near the profile centre of some pulsars.
