    Description: Spatial and temporal variability in the convective boundary layer (CBL) height for the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) study period are examined using the data collected from high-resolution radiosondes during May–September 2009 over the Indian monsoon region. In total, 57 radiosonde launchings were carried out at ∼ 11:00–17:00 IST over six different stations covering a large geographical region, ranging from latitude ∼ 13 to 32° N and longitude 73 to 92° E. Of the total 57 launchings, 17 were made during cloudy conditions during which relative humidity (RH) was found to be greater than 83 % for an ∼ 1.0 km layer at various altitudes below 6 km. Within the layer the difference between saturated equivalent potential temperature and equivalent potential temperature is small, and it satisfies the condition that RH 〉 83 % for about 1 km is considered as the cloudy layer. There are eight cases when the cloud-topped boundary layer (CTBL) and 19 cases when fair-weather boundary layer (FWBL) is observed. The CBL heights are obtained using thermodynamic profiles, which vary from ∼ 0.4 to 2.5 km a. g. l.  The formation of the cloud layers above the boundary layer generally lowers the CBL height and is responsible for its day-to-day variability. The development of the cloud beneath the boundary layer generally elevates the CBL, which is also responsible for the large day-to-day variability in the CBL. The FWBL identified using relative invariance of the thermodynamic profiles varies from ∼ 2.0 to 5.5 km, which is clearly marked by a local minimum in the refractivity gradient. During cloudy days, the CBL is found to be shallow and the surface temperature lower when compared to clear-sky days. The CBL and the lifting condensation level (LCL) heights are randomly related and are found to be at a lower height during cloudy days when compared to clear-sky days. Finally, the typical comparison between the CBL height obtained using thermodynamic profiles and backscattering profiles using Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) is examined.

    Notes: Summary Fission track ages need to be corrected for the loss of fossil tracks due to geological and thermal annealing. The range distribution of full-length tracks can yield such corrections if calibration curves translating length reductions into density reductions are available. The study of the annealing characteristics of the three terrestrial minerals, i.e. biotite, apatite and sphene, as functions of temperature and time, has been completed from this point of view. A linear relation has been observed between etchable track length and track density, but slopes and intercepts of the curves tend to vary from mineral to mineral. Over-etching shows significant effect in retrieving partially faded tracks in the case of biotite only, and track density reduction always lags behind track length reduction. In apatite and sphene track density is reduced in the same proportion as track length when length reduction is ∼30 to 50%. For length reductions 〈10%, track density remains nearly unaffected and for length decrease 〉50% the density reduction progressively outweighs the former. The possible reasons for such variations and the usefulness of the calibration curves are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary Fission track ages of three cogenetic minerals, i.e. muscovite, apatite and biotite, from the Nellore mica belt of India have been determined. Corrections to the observed ages due to geological annealing of fossil tracks have been computed by comparative study of the track lengths of fossil as well as induced fission tracks. An attempt has been made to infer the thermal history of the region in the light of different annealing behaviours of minerals and the discordance in their ages. The muscovite age of 632±15 m.y. corresponds to the occurrence of major metamorphic event and the apatite age of 446±10 m.y. appears to coincide with the time when the thermal conditions in the region became stable. The muscovite age can be reconciled with the biotite age (487±17 m.y.) when its track length distribution curve is interpreted on a two-stage thermal annealing model and the necessary corrections are applied for the decrease of fossil track density.

    Notes: Summary Uranium concentration in feldspar, pyroxene and carbonate groups of minerals has been studied by using the induced fission track technique. Fractions of homogeneously and heterogeneously distributed uranium have been estimated by differential counting. The suitability of studied minerals for fission track geochronology is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The ages of forty six muscovite samples obtained from mines in the three main mica belts of India, viz. Bihar, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, and areas around Delhi have been measured using improved fission track dating technique. The effect of geological annealing in the samples has been assessed and suitable correction applied to the ages, wherever required; also, uranium concentration has been measured in tight cleavages so as to avoid errors due to epigenetically introduced uranium. The ages agree with the main orogenic-metamorphic cycles in the respective regions and also the ages of pegmatites measured by other radiometric methods. The ages of the three belts have been measured as follows: Bihar mica belt, 700–1100 m.y.; Rajasthan mica belt and Delhi samples 700–1050 m.y.; Andhra Pradesh (Nellore) mica belt, 470–650 m.y. Occurrence of metamorphic event ∼600 m.y. in Rajasthan is supported by the age of one of the samples.

    Notes: Abstract The generation, transportability and dewatering of fluid mud under current- and wave-induced forcing is a multi-variate problem that requires knowledge not only of mud density and composition, but also of rheology, which ultimately characterizes mud dissipative properties. It is, therefore, self-evident that the predictive accuracy of mathematical modeling, a powerful tool for simulating mud dynamics, will depend strongly on the reliability of rheological description. Defining the state of mud solely in terms of density, as done commonly, only leads to ambiguities in quantifying the rates of transport of fluid mud.

    Notes: 2-Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase (KDPG aldolase, E.C. 4.1.2.14) is a member of the pyruvate/phosphoenolpyruvate aldolase family. It is also a synthetically useful enzyme, capable of catalyzing the stereoselective aldol addition of pyruvate to a range of unnatural electrophilic substrates. The recombinant protein was purified by a two-step HPLC protocol involving anion-exchange and hydrophobic chromatography. Dynamic light-scattering experiments indicated the protein to be monodisperse. Crystals were obtained using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method, with PEG 6K as precipitant. Diffraction data were collected on a frozen crystal to a resolution of 2.26 Å on station PX9.6 at the Daresbury synchrotron. The crystal belongs to space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 53.2, b = 77.9, c = 146.8 Å.

    Notes: The title compound, 10,13-deacetyl-abeo-baccatin IV, C28H40O12, crystallized in space group P1. The molecular structure shows that the B/C ring junction is trans-fused, while the A ring is in a syn conformation with respect to the C ring and anti with respect to the D ring. The conformations of the individual rings differ from each other. The molecule as a whole adopts a cage-type folded conformation. Intra- and intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, together with van der Waals interactions, stabilize the crystal structure.
