    Notes: Abstract The predatory behavior of 74 Pacific electric rays (Torpedo californica), studied between August and December during 1988 through 1991 in situ off the Palos Verdes Peninsula, southern California, consisted of two feeding modes: an ambush from the substratum during the day and a more vigorous attack from the water column at night. Predatory motor patterns and electric organ discharges (EODs) were recorded on the video and audio channels of a housed camcorder. Predatory motor patterns included four phases: (1) jump (simultaneous with EOD initiation), (2) pectoral-fin cupping, (3) orientation to prey, and (4) ingestion. The initial electrical activity of the rays was a train of 46 to 414 5-ms monophasic EODs that lasted 0.45 to 7.06 s; the maximum number of EODs produced during an attack was 〉1200. Maximum output, measured on only one ray, was 45 V. Fifty-five rays were presented one of four types of prey stimuli: live fish (LF), freshly-speared fish (FSF), frozen fish (FF), or a simulated bioelectric field (SBF). The percent frequency of attacks for the LF, FSF, and FF treatments ranged from 70 to 〉90%, but was 〈30% for the SBF. The interval between prey presentation and attack was ≃30 s for the LF, FSF, and FF and over five times longer for the SBF; intervals averaged 〈4 s for the three rays tested at night. Attacks by rays on energized electrodes provide the first evidence that electric rays use electroreceptors to detect their prey. However, the lack of clear differences among the four prey treatments in five characteristics of the initial pulse train suggests that a suite of sensory stimuli cooperate in triggering an attack and regulating the electrical output during the attack.

    Notes: Abstract Externally and internally implanted sonic transmitters were used to track the movements of eight tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) ranging between 200 and 417 cm total length (TL), captured by hook-and-line on the south coast of Oahu, Hawaii, between 1993 and 1997. Attachment of the transmitters was facilitated by the fact that captured sharks exhibited tonic immobility when restrained and inverted at the side of the tagging vessel. Three common themes emerged from the horizontal movements of the tracked sharks: (1) offshore movements away from the island, (2) extended periods of directed, “straight-line” swimming, (3) orientation to the Penguin Banks – a shallow bank located ≃35 km from the release point. In shallow water (〈300 m) the sharks swam predominantly close to the bottom, in open water (〉300 m) they swam within the mixed layer at depths of ∼80 m. One shark dove briefly to 335 m. The average estimated swimming speed of sharks traversing open water was 0.29 body length (BL) s−1. Two sharks were recaptured after termination of the tracks; one of these sharks was recaptured twice, with a total time at liberty of 377 d. The data suggest that Hawaiian tiger sharks move within large home ranges and that they can efficiently navigate between distant parts of their range, even when this requires crossing open ocean waters.

    Notes: Summary Chronic glucocorticoid excess is associated with the development of osteoporosis and, in human subjects, there is histomorphometric evidence of increased bone resorption. Paradoxically, most in vitro studies have suggested that glucocorticoids inhibit bone resorption but recently two groups have demonstrated increased osteolysis in glucocorticoid-treated bone organ cultures. The present study reexamines the effect of cortisol on basal bone resorption in neonatal mouse calvaria with particular emphasis on the effect of serum supplementation of the media. In the absence of serum, 45Ca release was significantly stimulated by 10-7 M cortisol (treatment/control 1.37+-0.06, P〈0.005) and by 10-6 M cortisol (treatment/control 1.27+-0.08, P〈0.005). The stimulation of resorption by 10-7 M hydrocortisone was progressive from 24 to 96 hours of incubation. In contrast, when calvaria were incubated in the presence of 5% serum, bone resorption was not increased by cortisol (10-8 M-10-6 M). In the presence of 5% charcoal-stripped, heat-inactivated serum, there was a small stimulation of 45Ca release at 10-6 M hydrocortisone only (treatment/control 1.19 +-0.06, P〈0.01). Incubation of bones with indomethacin did not modify the effect of cortisol in either the presence or absence of serum. In serum-free conditions, cortisol 10-8 M significantly inhibited the rate of thymidine incorporation, though at higher concentrations this effect was not seen. Cortisol produced a dose-related inhibition of serumstimulated thymidine incorporation. It is concluded that the presence of serum substantially modifies the effect of cortisol on basal bone resorption. The cortisol-induced stimulation of bone resorption which is seen in serum-free conditions is sustained over time and is not mediated by alterations in prostaglandin synthesis.

    Notes: Abstract A range of biomimetic analogues of the nicotinamide nucleotide coenzymes NAD(P)(H) have been developed based on the structure of a triazine dye template. These biomimetic redox coenzymes are relatively straightforward and inexpensive to synthesise and display NAD+-like activity with different dehydrogenases, despite their apparently minimal structural similarity to the native coenzyme NAD+. Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase oxidises butan-1-ol, using the most active biomimetic coenzyme (Nap 1), with a k cat value an order of magnitude lower and a K m for the coenzyme two orders of magnitude higher than those using native NAD+. The enzymatically reduced biomimetic coenzymes may be reoxidised by phenazine methosulfate. We believe that these coenzymes may find applications in biotransformations and biosensors, and in the development of biomimetic catalysts where the redox enzyme itself is replaced by a synthetic binding site.

    Notes: Our original article presented computer simulation results for the viscoelastic response of a simple model colloidal suspension. We compared our results for the viscosity with a theoretical prediction of Verberg et al. [R. Verberg, I. M. de Schepper, and E. G. D. Cohen, Phys. Rev. E 55, 3143 (1997)] and found poor agreement. It is suggested in the previous comment that a comparison with a modified expression is more appropriate. In response we explain the basis of our comparison and expand on how a different interpretation could be made, leading to an expression of the form Felderhof suggests is appropriate. Nonetheless, as stated in the comment, the agreement with simulation is poor, no matter which of the two possible theoretical expressions is used. We also seek to clarify our position concerning the form of the high frequency response at low volume fraction. Our finding is that the ratio of this to the high frequency response in the zero density limit is not the radial distribution function at contact, as predicted by Verberg et al. [R. Verberg, I. M. de Schepper, M. J. Feigenbaum, and E. G. D. Cohen, J. Stat. Phys. 87, 1037 (1997)], but is a rather smaller quantity. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: There is widespread concern that children consume too few fruit and vegetables and as a result are likely to incur health problems. This paper outlines a series of studies in which an intervention that combines video-based peer modelling with rewards has been shown to be very effective in enabling children to eat a variety of fruit and vegetables that previously they rejected. These effects have been very substantial and long lasting. The procedure has been used successfully in children's own homes and, as this paper shows in particular detail, in school settings.
