    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé P. alni DeGeer (Homopt. Callaphididae) vit sur Alnus glutinosa Gaertner pendant toute l'année. L'aulne étant un arbre fixant l'azote, cette étude a été entreprise pour examiner la croissance et la reproduction de ce puceron sur cet arbre afin d'expliquer les changements de la dynamique de sa population. 6 générations successives estivales ont été élevées dans la nature et en température constante au laboratoire. La qualité de l'aliment a été mesurée chaque semaine par une microkjeldahl analyse des concentrations foliaires en azote soluble. La qualité de l'aliment varie saisonnière, mais ne diminue que de 23%; elle semble n'avoir que peu d'effets sur le puceron, puisque la fécondité dans la nature n'est réduite que pendant une génération. Quand la température est maintenue constante, il n'y a pas de différences entre les performances des différentes générations de pucerons. Ainsi, les changements saisonniers dans la croissance et la reproduction des pucerons sont provoqués par la température et non par la qualité de l'aliment.
    Notes: Abstract Six successive summer generations of the alder aphid (Pterocallis alni (DeGeer) (Homoptera: Callaphididae)) were reared simultaneously in the field and under controlled temperature conditions in the laboratory. The growth and reproduction of each generation were recorded. The available food quality for the aphids was measured by weekly analysis of foliar soluble nitrogen concentrations. Although there was a significant change in leaf soluble nitrogen during the season, the decline was only 23% and this did not appear to have an adverse effect on the performance of this aphid. Instead, the major environmental factor affecting the aphid is temperature. This is evidenced by the facts that when aphids were reared at constant temperatures, there were no differences in generation performance, even though food quality varied seasonally. In addition, all generations of the aphid posess the same number of ovarioles, indicating that there is no pre-programmed anticipation of a seasonal deterioration in food quality in this aphid species.

    Notes: Abstract Four experiments aimed at the stimulation of starting oviposition were carried out with bumblebee queens (Bombus terrestris L.) from colonies belonging to the ecotype of Central Western France and reared in a glasshouse. After mating, queens were narcotized with carbon dioxide, confined singly in small boxes (11×5×4.5 cm) and kept in a dark room at 28–29 °C and 60%–65% r.h. They were fed on a sugar solution and a pollen-syrup mixture. No effects were discernible if the narcosis was applied 20 to 30 days after mating instead of 5 days, nor if the queens were submitted to a 4 to 5 day period at 34°C following narcosis. Survival rates ranged from 65% to 68 %. If the queens were reared under fluorescent tubes (L8∶D16) after narcosis the mean delays to egg-laying were significantly reduced compared to a dark treatment (21 days instead of 39), as was their variability (s.e.=1.6 day instead of 3.1 days). The survival rates were respectively 73% and 67%. Under the same photoperiod (L8∶D16) the CO2 narcosis repeated at a 24h interval had the same efficacy whether its duration was 10 min or 5 min. The delays to egg-laying were respectively 20 days (s.e=1.5) and 25 days (s.e.=4.8) with survival rates close to 73%. Egg-laying could also be induced in non-narcotized queens with a survival rate of 54% and delays to oviposition close to those of queens narcotized 2×10 min.

    Notes: Abstract Ficus burtt-davyi, like most other fig species (Ficus, Moraceae), is exclusively pollinated by its own unique species of fig wasp, in this caseElisabethiella baijnathi (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae). Because fig crop development on any one tree is usually synchronised, the small and short-lived female wasps have to migrate and find other trees bearing figs which are at suitable stage of development for oviposition. However, the likelihood of successful location and subsequent arrival at a new host tree is dependent on distance and the effect of environmental factors such as wind and temperature. This study examines the relationship between ambient temperatures and the timing of fig wasps emergence from their natal figs and the commencement of their dispersal flight. The behaviour of the wasps arriving at figs which were ready to be pollinated was also examined. The female wasps did not appear to distinguish between the figs and other parts of the tree when in flight. However, after landing on the tree their search for figs was more directed as they visited more figs than leaves. Short-range recognition of figs appears to be by contact chemo-reception, but the wasps showed a preference for entering figs which did not already contain a female wasp.

    Notes: Abstract The role of photoperiod and temperature in the induction of overwintering diapause inPhyllonorycter blancardella (F.) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) was examined in the laboratory and field using leafminers from commercial apple orchards in Ontario, Canada.P. blancardella exhibited a long-day response to photoperiod: long daylengths resulted in uninterrupted development whereas short daylengths induced diapause. The estimated critical photoperiod for diapause induction was L14.25∶D9.75. The larvae of leafminers destined to enter diapause took ca. 3× longer to complete development than the larvae of non-diapausing leafminers. The development prolonging effect of photoperiod decreased with decreasing daylength. Temperature modified the diapause inducing effect of photoperiod. At L14.25∶D9.75, diapause incidence was similar at 15 and 20°C but was lower at 25°C. Photoperiod also altered the normal relationship between development rate and temperature. At L14.25∶D9.75, the duration of larval development of diapausing leafminers was similar at 15, 20 and 25°C. Temperature alone is unlikely to have a role in the induction of diapause because leafminers exposed to natural late summer and fall temperature regimes and L16∶D8 did not enter diapause.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of different concentrations of rutin and constant temperature (20 °C) versus alternating temperatures (23∶15 °C) on growth, molting and food utilization efficiencies of third instar tobacco hornworms (Manduca sexta) were determined. Relative consumption rate (RCR) and relative growth rate (RGR) were significantly higher for larvae at the alternating thermal regime compared to those at the constant (representing the average) temperature. With increasing concentrations of rutin, the negative effect of rutin on RCR and RGR increased for the larvae in the alternating thermal regime; however, at the constant temperature, rutin had little effect. The alternating thermal regime promoted synchrony in the timing of spiracle apolysis (the earliest morphological marker of molt). Rutin disrupted that synchrony. I discuss how patterns of host plant resistance may be altered with a decrease, in amplitude of diurnal temperatures (as has been documented recently for temperate regions) through the uncoupling of herbivore performance and allelochemical concentration. I conclude that simultaneous consideration of fluctuating temperatures and allelochemicals is advisable when assessing the effects of temperature and allelochemicals on performance of insect herbivores because interactive effects between temperature and dietary components occur and perhaps are common.

    Notes: Abstract Photoperiodic induction of reproductive diapause at 18°C was investigated in fourOrius [Heteroptera: Anthocoridae] species.Orius insidiosus (Say) displayed a long-day response with a critical photoperiod between L11:D13 and L12:D12. Diapause in this species was terminated rapidly when the temperature and/or the daylength were increased.Orius majusculus (Reuter) also displayed a long-day response. The critical photoperiod fell between L14:D10 and L16:D8. Diapause in this species was not terminated within 14 days when both temperature and daylength were increased. InOrius albidipennis (Reuter) no diapause could be induced at photoperiods varying from L8:D16 to L16:D8. InOrius tristicolor (White) a high proportion of diapause was found at all photoperiods tested. The effect of temperature on photoperiodic induction of diapause was studied inO. insidiosus at L10:D14. Diapause occurred at 18°C, 21°C and 25°C, but not at 30°C. Again, diapause was terminated rapidly after transfer to 25°C/L16:D8. Exposing only the nymphal instars 1–5 to short daylength was not enough to induce diapause in the whole population ofO. majusculus. Orius predatory bugs are used as biocontrol agents against western flower thrips,Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) [Thysanoptera: Thripidael, in greenhouses. The consequences of photoperiodic induction of diapause for the success of early season releases ofOrius are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract InEurydema rugosa Motschulsky (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), the type of food supplied (i.e. seeds or leaves of the brown mustard,Brassica juncea Hemsel) and photoperiod, which control the induction of adult diapause, do not play a role in the initiation of reproduction after overwintering. A temperature above 13.2°C was required to start reproduction. After its initiation, however, short-day conditions on seeds induced diapause again in some adults. Although a diet of seeds under long-day conditions, in common with short-day conditions, induced diapause in young adults (Numata & Yamamoto, 1990), it did not reinduce diapause in adults after overwintering. Thus,E. rugosa that had overwintered became sensitive to diapause-inducing photoperiod again but not to dietary factors.

    Notes: Abstract The possibility of avoidance of and dietary self-selection relative to the flavonol rutin was examined for third instarManduca sexta for two thermal regimes and for larvae previously reared on plain or rutin diet. Temperature affected all of the performance indices examined, except efficiency of conversion of digested food. Significant interactive effects between temperature and diet occurred for relative consumption rate, relative growth rate and the food utilization efficiencies. For example, at the warm daytime temperature, relative growth rate prior to head capsule slippage was lower for caterpillars previously reared on rutin diet compared to those reared on plain diet. In contrast, at the cool daytime temperature, the relative growth rates were similar for caterpillars reared on plain diet and on 6 μmoles rutin diet. Consequently, in some treatments (5 of 12), caterpillars with a history of rutin in their diet had lower relative growth rates than those experiencing rutin for the first time. Despite rutin's impact on food utilization indices and negative effect on relative growth rate, the caterpillars did not avoid rutin nor was there evidence of regulation of the intake of rutin. The lack of metabolic feedback is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchten den Einfluss von Temperatur und Licht auf die Saugtätigkeit von Tetranychus urticae auf Bohnenpflanzen und fanden eine nicht-lineare Beziehung zwischen Temperatur und Saugaktivität. Die Saugintensität stieg bei Temperaturen über 10 °C an bis zum Saugmaximum bei 35 °C und sank dann relativ rasch ab. Permanentes Licht- oder Dunkelregime übte keinen Einfluss auf die Saugleistung aus. Aufgrund der beobachteten Zusammenhänge zwischen Temperatur, Saugintensität und Intensität der Ausbildung der Schadsymptome entwickelten wir ein verbessertes Mass (‘mite-load’) für die Erfassung des Spinnmilbenstresses auf die Wirtspflanze. Die präsentierten Daten zeigen, dass mit der ‘mite-load’ Funktion die Saugschäden von T. urticae präziser erfasst werden können als mit den bisher gebräuchlichen Milbendichten pro Blatt oder Milbentagen.
    Notes: Abstract The influence of temperature and light regime on the feeding intensity of Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) was studied on bean plants. A nonlinear relationship was found between temperature and feeding activity of T. urticae. The feeding intensity increased from 10 °C to 35 °C. At 10 °C there was practically no feeding, whereas at 35 °C maximum feeding occurred. above 35 °C the activity of the mites decreased. No difference could be found in the feeding intensity of mites kept at permanent darkness or permanent light. Based on the observed relationship between temperature and feeding activity and intensity of damage symptoms, respectively, we propose the use of a mite-load function to define the mite stress imposed on the plant.

    Notes: Abstract Experiments indicated that for offspring of apterousRhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), photoperiod and crowding were the most important determinants of wing development whereas crowding and plant quality were more significant for the next generation. Plant quality became increasingly important as temperature increased while crowding became less so. More alates developed on plants previously infested with aphids, indicating that aphid feeding reduced plant quality. High temperature suppressed alatoid production, but could be overcome by crowding. Temperature appeared to influence wing development indirectly rather than directly by acting on the aphid through the plant. Adult weight and potential fecundity were also reduced for aphids which fed on previously infested plants.

    Notes: Abstract Ooencyrtus nezarae Ishii (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) was reared on eggs ofRiptortus clavatus (Thunberg) (Heteroptera: Alydidae) at various temperatures under long-day (L16:D8) or short-day (L10:D14) conditions. There was no diapause during egg, larval or pupal stages under any set of conditions examined. However, at 15°C under short-day conditions, vitellogenesis was arrested in all adult females and they entered diapause. At 15°C under long-day conditions, or at 20°C under short-day conditions, some adult females entered diapause. Under the latter set of conditions, the adult females laid eggs but they laid fewer eggs than under long-day conditions, Even at 25°C, under short-day conditions, adult females laid fewer eggs than under long-day conditions, and this low rate of oviposition was attributed to the retarded development of ovaries. Diapause adults reared at 15°C were more resistant to low temperature than nondiapause adults reared at 25°C.

    Notes: Abstract Diapausing larvae ofEurytoma amygdali Enderlein (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae) were collected in early August and late September. They were subjected to various photoperiod and temperature regimens for up to 20 weeks, then kept at L16:D8 and 19°C for another 14 to 26 weeks for diapause to be terminated and pupation to take place. Photoperiod did not affect diapause completion. It was confirmed that the two morphologically distinct diapause stages have different temperature requirements for their completion. The first diapause stage was completed synchronously at temperatures between 16 and 19°C. A higher temperature of 26°C delayed diapause development. The second stage required lower temperatures between 4 and 10°C. Spontaneous termination of dipause was observed at constant 19°C. When applied to the first diapause stage for 20 weeks, low temperatures made the larvae refractory to subsequent intermediate temperatures. The first stage was thus maintained until a higher temperature of 26°C made the larvae regain their ability to respond to the intermediate temperatures and complete this stage. Larvae grown in Retsou almonds had a higher diapause intensity than larvae grown in Truoito almonds. The results suggest that, in nature, the high temperatures of late summer and early autumn are likely to maintain the first diapause stage. Subsequently, the less warm temperatures of autumn allow the completion of the first stage by late autumn, and the low temperatures of late autumn and of winter allow the completion of the second diapause stage by mid winter.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets secondaires de l'hyphomycète entomopathogène, Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. sur la fécondité et la fertilité des insectes survivant à l'infection fongique ont été étudiés chez les adultes du doryphore Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae) issus de larves contaminées en début de 4ème stade. Les insectes maintenus à 22°C ont présenté une réduction de leur potentiel reproductif. Ainsi, suivant la dose d'inoculum fongique, le nombre total d'oeufs pondus par femelle et le nombre moyen d'oeufs par opplaque ont baissé de 20% à 56% et de 18% à 46%, respectivement. En revanche, à 25°C la fécondité des adultes survivants n'a pas été affectée par la maladie. Cette variabilité en fonction des conditions thermiques peut être liée à la diminution de l'effet-dose du champignon sur les larves à 25°C par rapport à 22°C. Par ailleurs, quelles que soient les conditions thermiques (22°C ou 25°C) on ne constate aucun changement significatif de la fertilité des oeufs pondus par les femelles survivantes. Les auteurs concluent que les effets secondaires de B. bassiana sur la fécondité du doryphore dépendent des conditions thermiques et qu'ils pourraient devenir négligeables à des températures élevées en plein champ.
    Notes: Abstract Secondary effects of the entomopathogenic hyphomycete Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. were investigated on adults of Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae) treated as newly moulted 4th-instar larvae. Fecundity and egg hatching were monitored in surviving females mated with surviving males. When reared at 22°C, adult survivors showed a lessening of their reproductive potential during their whole life. According to the fungal inoculum dosage, the reductions of the total number of eggs laid per female and the mean number of eggs per egg mass ranged from 20% to 56% and from 18% to 46%, respectively. In contrast, at 25°C, the fecundity of survivors was not affected by the fungal infection. This variability of the secondary effects of B. bassiana according to temperature conditions might be related to the lower infection level of treated larvae at 25°C. Moreover, at both temperatures, eggs laid by females surviving fungal infection as larvae were as fertile as eggs laid by control insects. It is concluded that secondary effects of B. bassiana on the fecundity of the Colorado Potato Beetle are temperature-dependent and that they could become negligible at high temperatures under field conditions.

    Notes: Abstract the simultaneous effects on an insect herbivore (third instar tobacco hornwormManduca sexta (L.): Sphingidae) of temperature (daytime temperatures of 20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C), a mineral that may play a role in plant defense (potassium) and a common allelochemical (rutin) were examined in a factorial experiment. To manipulate potassium levels, a modified diet with limited plant material was used as the base and KCl and rutin added. Temperature affected efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI), efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD), time to head-capsule slippage, stadium duration, relative consumption rate (RCR) and relative growth rate (RGR) but not food consumed, biomass gained and approximate digestibility (AD). Potassium concentration influenced all of the variables except AD, time to head-capsule slippage (HCS), duration of the stadium and percent of stadium time to HCS. Rutin impacted negatively on all of the variables except food consumed. Compared to larvae on the non-rutin diets, fewer larvae fed rutin survived through molt initiation to ecdysis and fewer successfully completed ecdysis. Temperature and rutin had interactive effects for AD, ECD, RCR, RGR, time to HCS, and percent of stadium required to reach HCS. Rutin and potassium had interactive effects for biomass gained, RCR, ECI, time to HCS, duration of stadium, and percent of stadium required to reach HCS. Comparison of larval responses on an average potassium concentration (3.1%) versus high concentration (6.1%) showed that at the low daytime temperature increasing potassium concentration depressed biomass gained, but at the warmer temperatures potassium concentration had little effect unless rutin was present. In addition, potassium concentration had little impact on ECI unless rutin was present. These results indicate that significant interactive effects occur among temperature, potassium and rutin, and thus suggest that such interactive effects on larval performance may be common under field conditions, which are characterized by varying temperature and different concentrations of minerals and allelochemicals in hostplants.

    Notes: Abstract Isobaric expansibilities α P and isothermal compressibilities κ T have been determined at 25 and 45°C for binary mixtures of ethylbenzene + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane and the corresponding excess functions (∂V E /∂T)P and (∂V E /∂P)T have also been obtained. With these data and supplementary literature values, the following second order mixing properties are also reported at 25°C: κ S E , (∂V E /∂P)T, ΔCV and Δ(ΔγVT). All mixing quantities have been compared with the results obtained at 25°C by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The predicted values suggest that the ability of ethylbenzene as a breaker of the pure n-Cn orientations is similar to what we found for toluene and higher than for p-xylene.

    Notes: Abstract Electrical conductance measurements of dilute (〈0.1 mol-kg−1) aqueous NaCl solutions were made primarily to quantify the degree of ion association which increases with increasing temperature and decreasing solvent density. These measurements were carried out at temperatures from 100 to 600°C and pressures up to 300 MPa with a modified version of the apparatus used previously in the high temperature study in this laboratory. Particular emphasis was placed on conditions close to the critical temperaturelpressure region of water, i.e., at 5° intervals from 370 to 400°C. The results verify previous findings that the limiting equivalent conductance Ao of NaCl increases linearly with decreasing density from 0.75 to 0.3 g-cm−1 and also with increasing temperature from 100 to 350°C. Above 350°C. Ao is virtually temperature independent. The logarithm of the molal association constant as calculated exclusively from the data≥400°C is represented as a function of temperature (Kelvin) and the logarithm of the density of water (g-cm−3) as follows: $$log K_m = 0.997 - 650.07/T - (10.420 - 2600.5/T)log\rho _w $$ Note that this function also provides a good representation of the log Km values obtained from 350 to 395°C at densities greater than ca. 0.6 g-cm−3. More precise conductance data now available in the literature suggest a systematic error of unknown origin may exist in the data obtained at lower densities in this region. The relevant thermodynamics quantities derived from differentiation of this equation with respect to temperature and pressure are listed in the text.

    Notes: Abstract Isothermal compressibilities KΥ and isobaric thermal expansion coefficients αp have been measured at 25 and 45°C for pure components and the following binary mixtures: 1-chlorobutane+normal alkanes (n-Cn) where n=6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. With these results and other thermodynamic data from literature the next mixing quantities have also been reported: (∂V E/∂T)P, − (∂V)E/∂P)T, K S v , ∂H E/∂P)T, Δ(αpγVT and ΔCv. The obtained results have been compared at 25°C with the calculated values by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The theory predicts the excess volume VE and ∂V E/∂P)T values rather well, the C P E quite poorly, while for ∂V E/∂T)P and ∂V E/∂P)T it is only predicted the trend with the chain length of the n-alkane. The last two quantities show deviations between theoretical and experimental, slightly higher in systems with longer n-alkanes than for shorter ones. Our conclusion is that a nonrigid linear molecule, like 1-chlorobutane, has a low ability as a breaker of the pure n-Cn orientation correlations, in between that which we found for toluene and p-xylene and much smaller than for cyclohexane or benzene.

    Notes: Abstract Flow calorimetry has been used to study the interaction of HPO 4 2− and H2PO 4 − with H+ in water at temperatures of 348.15 and 398.15 K and at pressures of 1.52 and 12.50 MPa. The protonations of HPO 4 2− and H2PO 4 − are exothermic and endothermic, respectively, under these experimental conditions. Under the conditions of this study, the effect of pressure on the enthalpy changes for both reactions is small. Equilibrium constant K, enthalpy change ΔH, and entropy change ΔS values are given for the protonation reactions at each temperature. These values are compared with those reported in the literature. Incorporation into the calculation procedure of reactions involving association between protonated phosphate species to form hydrogen-bonded dimers does not result in better fits of the experimental data.

    Notes: Abstract EXAFS has been used to follow in situ the structural evolution of a Pt/Al2O3 catalyst during removal of carbon by hydrogenation, after reduction and carbon deposition. After reduction at 350 °C, the total hydrogen pressure was raised to 3 atm. and n-heptane was injected over the sample. EXAFS measurements at the Pt edge were carried out with simultaneous on-line EXAFS analysis of the spectra. After observing the rapid formation of a carbon-platinum bond which is unmodified with time, we stopped the heptane flow, raised the temperature to 450 °C, and maintained hydrogen flow at 3 atm. The disappearance of the platinum-carbon bond during heat treatment in hydrogen was monitored via on-line analysis. No sintering of the metal particles was observed. EXAFS is thus proven to be an efficient tool to study not just structural changes of a catalyst during a hydrocarbon reaction [1], but also to use it as a technique to study other catalytic phenomena as well.

    Notes: Abstract The life history of New Zealand flower thrips (Thrips obscuratus (Crawford), Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was studied using a simple laboratory rearing method. The effects of temperature and diet on oviposition rate and development time were examined. Oviposition rate increased with increasing temperature between 10°C and 25°C. Development time for individual instars and for total development decreased with increasing temperature between 10°C and 27°C. Total development time ranged from 50 days at 10°C (female) to 10 days at 27°C (male). The relationship between temperature and development rate was expressed as a straight line such that lower thresholds of development of between 4.2°C and 6.3°C were established for life stages. Adult lifespan increased with decreasing temperature between 10°C and 25°C and females lived longer than males. At 10°C and 25°C females lived for an average of 34 and 3 weeks respectively. Thrips supplied with pollen exhibited highest and sustained levels of egg production in comparison to other diets. Larval mortality was lowest and development time fastest on diets of pollen and sucrose or fruit juice in comparison to other plant tissues. Larval development time was similar on four species of pollen.

    Notes: Abstract EXAFS has been used to follow in situ the structural evolution of a chlorinated and non-chlorinated Pt/Al2O3 catalyst during reduction in the temperature range of 300–500 °C. Smaller metal clusters are formed from the hydrogen reduction of the chlorinated catalyst, in contrast to the larger cluster formed from the non-chlorinated one. At 460 °C, the total hydrogen pressure was raised to 5 atm. and n-heptane was injected over the samples. EXAFS measurements at the Pt edge were carried out while hydrocarbon conversion was monitored with a gas Chromatograph. We observe the rapid formation of a carbon-platinum bond. This is unmodified while turnover rates and selectivities indicate evidence for deactivation. From this structural information supplied by EXAFS, correlated with the data obtained from gas chromatography, we find that our results are consistent with a model proposed by others where deactivation is due to the build-up of a multilayer of carbon.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) est un Coléoptère Bruchidae tropical qui se développe aux dépens des graines de Vigna unguiculata. Les adultes présentent un polymorphisme; il y a en effet deux formes, la forme voilière et la forme non voilière, distinctes par des critères morphologiques, physiologiques et comportementaux. L'évolution des populations de C. maculatus a été suivie pendant toute la saison sèche et le début de la saison des pluies dans la région de Niamey au Niger (13° LN) à l'intérieur d'un grenier traditionnel. Pendant toute la saison sèche, 6 à 7 générations de C. maculatus de la forme non voilière se succèdent à l'intérieur du grenier. Les adultes de la forme voilière, très actifs, apparaissent surtout au cours de la saison des pluies lorsque la teneur en eau de l'atmosphère et la teneur en eau des graines augmentent. Les études expérimentales réalisées au laboratoire montrent que le polymorphisme imaginal est induit au cours du développement post-embryonnaire et dépend des conditions climatiques dans lesquelles celui-ci a lieu. Le taux d'adultes de la forme voilière est élevé lorsque les larves se développent dans des graines à forte teneur en eau (14 ou 15%). Lorsque la teneur en eau des graines est faible (6 à 7%), il n'y a émergence que d'adultes de la forme non voilière. Lorsque la teneur en eau des graines est comprise entre 12 et 13%, le taux d'adultes de la forme voilière s'accroit et varie avec la durée de la thermophase. A basse température il y a toujours émergence d'adultes de la forme non voilière, quelle que soit la teneur en eau des graines. L'influence de ces deux facteurs abiotiques sur l'induction du polymorphisme imaginal joue probablement un rôle important dans les mécanismes adaptatifs permettant le maintien de cette espèce en zone tropicale.
    Notes: Abstract Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) is a tropical insect (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) that develops in Vigna unguiculata (Walp) seeds. In this beetle, there are two distinct adult forms that differ in their morphology, physiology and behaviour, the flight form and the flightless form. The development of C. maculatus is analyzed in a traditional store in Niger. During the dry season, 6 to 7 generations of the flightless form develop in the store. When the atmospheric water content increases during the rainy season, adults of the flight form appear and escape from the store. Experimental studies have shown that the adult polymorphism is induced during post-embryonic development and depends on prevailing abiotic factors during this period. The proportion of flight from adults is high when larvae develop in moist seeds (14–15% of water content). Under dry conditions (6–7% of water content) only flightless adult forms emerge from the seeds. Temperatures during development also influence adult polymorphism. In thermoperiodic conditions with 12–13% seed water content, the proportion of flight from adults increases with increasing duration of the thermophase. However, at low temperatures, a high proportion of flightless adult forms emerge, regardless of seed water content. The adaptive importance of these two abiotic factors on polymorphism induction is examined in this study.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La maturation ovarienne des femelles adultes agées de 7, 22–23 et 28 jours de D. oleae ayant accompli leur développement embryonnaire, larvaire et nymphal en LD 12:12, 19±1°C et maintenues en LD 16:8, 26±1°C, sans accès à des olives, est inhibée. Dans les mêmes conditions, mais avec accès permanent à des olives, 54% des femelles ont des ovocytes mûrs à 7 jours, 87% à 22–23 jours et 100% à 28 jours. Avec des femelles ayant accès à des domes de paraffine, les pourcentages d'individus ayant des ovocytes mûrs sont intermédiaires entre ceux des deux situations précédentes. Dans les conditions cidessus défavorables à la maturation ovarienne, 50% des femelles de 28 jours ont des ovocytes mûrs si elles sont en présence d'olives durant leur première semaine de vie imaginale et 91% si elles sont en présence la 4éme semaine. Les pourcentages respectifs concernant les femelles pourvues de dômes de paraffine sont encore intermédiaires entre ceux des femelles avec olives et ceux de femelles privées de tout substrat. La présence d'olives a aussi un effet fortement positif sur la maturation ovarienne de femelles ayant accompli leur développement pre-imaginal et maintenues aussi à l'etat adulte en conditions LD 16:8, 26±1°C, favorisant la maturation ovarienne. L'accès à des dômes de paraffine a, là encore, un effet intermédiaire. On conclut par conséquent que la non maturation ovarienne des femelles de D. oleae qui est causée par une photopériode à jour court pendant la vie pre-imaginale accompagné par une photopériode à jour long et une augmentation de la température pendant la vie imaginale persiste au moins jusqu'à la fin de la quatrième semaine de la vie imaginale en absence d'olives, mais ne se produit pas si on met les femelles adultes en présence d'olives.
    Notes: Abstract Ovarian maturation was prevented in 7-, 22-, 23- and 28-day-old females of Dacus oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae), developed in the pre-imaginal stages at LD 12:12, 19±1°C and kept as adults at LD 16:8, 26±1°C without access to olive fruits. In females of the above ages having continuous access to olive fruits and held under the same photoperiod and temperature conditions, 54, 87 and 100%, respectively, had mature oocytes. When the females had access to domes of paraffin wax, the percentages of females with mature oocytes were intermediate between those with and those without access to olive fruits. Under the above photoperiod and temperature conditions unfavorable for maturation, 50% of 4-week-old females had mature oocytes if exposed for one week to olive fruits during their first week and 91% if exposed during their 4th week of adult life. The respective percentages with wax domes in the cages were again intermediate between those with olives and those without olives or wax domes. The presence of olive fruits had also a strong positive effect on the ovarian maturation of females which developed from egg through the adult stage at LD 16:8, 26±1°C, a condition favoring ovarian maturation. Access to wax domes had again an intermediate effect on maturation. It is concluded therefore that the lack of ovarian maturation of D. oleae females which is observed under a short photophase during the pre-imaginal stages if followed by a long photophase and an increase of temperature during the adult stage, continues at least till the end of the 4th week of adult life in the absence of olive fruits but is averted when such fruits are offered to the adult flies.

    Notes: Abstract After 6 weeks incubation on rice 2 strains of Fusarium crookwellense produced more zearalenone (6060–5010 mg/kg dry wt of culture) at ambient temperature (16–29°C) in daylight than at ambient temperature (18–23 °C) in darkness or at controlled temperatures of 11 °C, 20 °C or 25 °C in darkness. Yields at 25 °C were low. Incubation at 11 °C during the second 3 weeks incubation increased yields only when preliminary incubation had been at 25 °C. After 6 weeks incubation at controlled temperatures in darkness, 4 strains produced most zearalenone at 20 °C (2460-21 360 mg/kg), 1 strain at 11 °C (6570 mg/kg). Yields at a temperature oscillating daily from 10–20 °C were less than at 15 °C. One of the 5 strains produced appreciable amounts of a-zearalenol (1645 mg/kg at 20°C) and 2 of nivalenol (340 and 499 mg/kg at 20 °C).

    Notes: Abstract The C and N mineralization characteristics of two organic N fertilizers were determined in a soil-less incubation system at three temperature regimes. Protox (derived from activated sewage sludge) initially degraded more rapidly by microbial action compared with dried blood. However, dried blood released more CO2-C and inorganic N towards the end of the incubation periods. The rate of microbial degradation increased with temperature. Mineralization characteristics of protein-based N sources are discussed in relation to organic N nutrition of vegetable crops.

The analysis is carried out both from the temporal and spectral standpoints. The techniques used range from the classical periodogram and Blackman-Tukey method through to the Maximum Entropy method. The results do not show the existence of climatic cycles, though they do show a clear tendency toward increased precipitation and decreased temperature, since the last years of series.

    Notes: Abstract Extremely important to the climate in any region are the radiation balance and the exchange processes of heat, water vapour and momentum. Most climatological parameters (e.g. temperature, humidity, wind speed, cloudiness and precipitation) are the direct or indirect result of the radiation balance and these exchange processes. The weather of the West European coast from Tarifa (Spain) to Skagen (Denmark) is especially suitable for the formation of dunes. Often a wind is blowing, varying widely in force and direction. The conditions are optimal for the formation of high and wide dune complexes, given a large supply of sand by the sea. The annual precipitation surplus is considerable for most of this coast. This favours the establishment of vegetation, and thereby it enhances dune formation. The short distance to the land-sea border causes strong gradients in several climatological parameters. These gradients lead to mesoscale effects, such as land-sea breezes and coastal fronts. The varying vegetation cover and the presence of slopes in all directions induce a strongly varying microclimate. However, this microclimate is not unique to the coastal dunes. Unique is the interaction with the wide range of ambient weather, which is inherent to the coast. It is not possible to be conclusive about the effects of climatic change on coastal dunes because climate models are not yet able to predict the changes adequately and because these models supply information on the expected mean climate, but not on the actual weather.

    Notes: Abstract The new hydrothermal diamond anvil cell (HDAC) has been designed for optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction at pressures up to 10 GPa and temperatures between −190°C and 1200°C. Laser light reffected from the top and bottom anvil faces and the top and bottom solid sample faces produce interference fringes that provide a very sensitive means of monitoring the volume of sample chamber and for observing volume and refractive index changes in solid samples due to transitions and reactions. Synchrotron radiation has been used to make X-ray diffraction patterns of samples under hydrothermal conditions. Individual heaters and individual thermocouples provide temperature control with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. Liquid nitrogen directly introduced into the HDAC has been used to reduce the sample temperature to −190°C. The α-β phase boundary of quartz has been used to calculate the transition pressures from measured transition temperatures. With this method we have redetermined 5 isochores of H2O up to 850°C and 1.2 GPa at which the solution rate of the quartz became so rapid that the quartz dissolved completely before the α-β transition could be observed. When silica solutions were cooled, opal spherules and rods formed.

    Notes: Summary The structure and thermal environment produced by the nest cones of the western harvester ant,Pogonomyrmex occidentalis, are investigated. The nest cone is oriented so that the longest slope faces towards the southeast ad the nest entrance faces the southeast. The temperature of the soil was monitored at thirty-six locations within the nest in order to measure the daily temperature change as a function of depth, aspect and radial distance from the center of peak of the cone. The occupancy of the nest cone by workers and by brood was assessed by core samples taken at different times of day in different portions of the cone. The brood are only present during the midmorning sample and are present in greatest numbers on the eastern side of the cone. The adult workers are present in the cone in highest numbers during the midmorning, virtually absent from the cone during mid-afternoon and returning in smaller numbers at dusk, apparently spending the night near the surface on the eastern side of the mound. The eastern and southern portions of the cone are occupied most frequently while the western side of the cone is nearly vacant. The nest cone is an adaptation which magnifies the amplitude of daily temperature fluctation. By moving to appropriate areas of the nest cone, the ants can take advantage of the increased range of temperature.

    Notes: Summary Several years' observations of population of a primitively social halictine bee,Halictus rubicundus, revealed the following: (1) there is a correlation between ambient temperatures during the spring provisioning phase and the sex ratio of the resulting brood, such that warmer temperatures are associated with an increase in male bias; (2) over the course of the season, the degree of male bias of eggs laid appears to correspond with photoperiod; and (3) increasing male bias in the first brood is associated with decreasing proportions of social colonies formed in the population, and this effect may be accentuated by small population size. These phenomena suggest that abiotic environmental conditions at the time of brood production may profoundly influence the demography of this population, and that the demography in turn determines the degree to which sociality is expressed. These findings are related to hypotheses dealing with caste determination in temperate halictine bees, viewed in the context of the evolution and maintenance of sociality, and it is proposed that these phenomena reveal a mechanism by which social behavior (the occurrence of a “worker” caste, in particular) is facultatively “fine-tuned” to suit the characteristics of the environment.

    Notes: Summary The nest structure and colony cycle of a population of Allegheny mound ants,Formica exsectoides, were examined in central Michigan. The dispersion pattern of mounds was random. Nest structure and presence of brood were primarily determined by excavation of twenty-three nests over three intervals from June through September. Additional excavations of five nests in 1990 and ten nests in 1991 provided further details on nest structure and colony cycle. Most galleries occurred within the mound and upper 30 cm of soil, but some activity reached depths of 100 to 270 cm. Depth of nests showed little correlation with external measurements of height and diameter. Immature stages were recovered from two strata: the upper 20 cm of nest and mound and the lowest nest depths. Alate sexual forms were found in or near the mound in July, and numerous dealate queens were collected in September from peripheral galleries near the soil surface.

    Notes: Abstract Temperature, temperature gradient and heat flow, derived from four wells in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin have been compared with similar quantities derived from maps constructed from industrial data. Individual industrial temperature data may differ from the high-resolution temperature log by up to 30 K, but linear regression of the collected data agrees within 10 K at all points observed. Some evidence suggests that measured conductivities, using drill-cuttings, are biased toward average values. Derived heat flows show agreement of heat flow within 10% within the Mesozoic section. In the Paleozoic section differences are greater, and more varied, with insufficient data for general conclusions. Both styles of measurement provide opportunities for interpretation, each contributing to thermal analysis of sedimentary basins.

    Notes: Abstract Temperature profiles in summer (February/March 1990) were measured in 24 lakes along a latitudinal transect from central Chile (32° S) to Patagonia (47° S), and on Easter Island (27° S). The lakes of the temperature zone, between 47° S and 38° S, are warm monomictic with surface and deep-water temperatures ranging from 12 °C to 21 °C and from 5.5 °C to 10 °C respectively. The heat content per unit area in midsummer was found to vary with lake area. The local stability of stratification (N 2) varied by more than two orders of magnitude, declining with increasing latitude, altitude, and depth. The lakes can be classified according to morphometric and temperature characteristics, mixing depth, stability of stratification and glacial turbidity. Lago General Carrera (463 m) was found to be almost as deep as Lago Nahuel Huapi (464 m), which is considered to be the deepest lake in South America.

    Notes: Abstract At 25°C, secondary dormancy was induced in seeds ofE. crus-galli exposed for 100 days to oxygen deficiency. By contrast, hypoxia did not induce dormancy at 15°C or prevent dormancy termination at 7°C. Secondary dormancy was terminated after 2 months stratification at 7°C. Oxygen deficiency may increase the proportion of dormant seeds in the soil, and affect the dynamics of the barnyard-grass soil seed bank.

    Notes: Abstract Respiration for maintenance and growth ofReynoutria japonica ecotypes from altitudes of 700 and 2420 m on Mt Fuji were measured in two controlled thermal conditions. The maintenance respiration of the high-altitude ecotype at both 15 and 25°C was significantly (1.7-fold) higher than that of the low-altitude ecotype, whereas growth respiration was independent of both ecotype and temperature. The temperature coefficient (Q10) of the maintenance respiration was about 1.9 in both ecotypes. The results show that there is ecotypic differentiation in the performance of maintenance respiration. It is suggested that the high maintenance respiration of the high-altitudeR. japonica ecotype is advantageous in severe upland environments but disadvantageous in a warm lowland climate in terms of carbon economy.

The fluorescence spectrum provides a determination of NO vibrational temperature downstream the discharge. Absolute concentration profiles were determined in the low-temperature region of the post-discharge.

    Notes: Abstract An apparatus was developed for investigating the release rates of pheromone formulations at temperatures and air velocities that correspond with those in the field. Polyurethane foam proved an excellent adsorbent for the recovery of tetradecen-1-ol acetates, allowing high air flows at low differential pressure and without breakthrough of these compounds. The experimental setup and procedures are described. The release rates of all formulations investigated were almost proportional to the square root of air velocity, and their logarithms were proportional to the reciprocal of temperature (K). When temperature is increased from 15°C to 25°C, the release rates increase by about 2-2.5 ×. Both relationships were combined into one equation that allows a reliable estimate to be made of the actual release rates of a formulation, under varying conditions, on the basis of its specific parameters and the relevant meteorological data.

    Notes: Abstract In situ high-temperature, high-pressure Raman experiments on 3 mM (pH 5) aqueous solutions of hen egg-white (HEW) lysozyme show a decrease in the relative height of the 505 cm−1 band associated with S-S stretching vibrations at 72°C (1 bar). The peak height changes are accompanied by significant band broadening, and the integrated band intensity does not change within experimental error. The effect of increased pressure at 72°C was to hinder broadening of the 505 cm−1 band. HEW lysozyme (2.4 mM,pH 5) was also heated at 76°C, 80°C, and 95°C for different periods of time, and aliquots were quenched to room temperature for Raman and enzymatic activity measurements. After 9 hr at 76°C, the protein exhibits enzyme activity less than 50% of the initial value, and approximately 50% reduction in activity is achieved after 3 hr at 80°C or 1 hr at 95°C. The Raman results suggest that different irreversibly denatured conformations are attained during prolonged exposures at these different temperatures. It is apparent from these studies that the S-S stretch intensity is decreased irreversibly.

    Notes: Summary Efflux of36Cl− from frog sartorius muscles equilibrated in two depolarizing solutions was measured. Cl− efflux consists of a component present at low pH and a pH-dependent component which increases as external pH increases. For temperatures between 0 and 20°C, the measured activation energy is 7.5 kcal/mol for Cl− efflux at pH 5 and 12.6 kcal/mol for the pH-dependent Cl− efflux. The pH-dependent Cl− efflux can be described by the relationu=1/(1+10n(pK a -pH)), whereu is the Cl− efflux increment obtained on stepping from pH 5 to the test pH, normalized with respect to the increment obtained on stepping from pH 5 to 8.5 or 9.0. For muscles equilibrated in solutions containing 150mm KCl plus 120mm NaCl (internal potential about −15 mV), the apparent pK a is 6.5 at both 0 and 20°C, andn=2.5 for 0°C and 1.5 for 20°C. For muscles equilibrated in solutions containing 7.5mm KCl plus 120mm NaCl (internal potential about −65 mV), the apparent pK a at 0°C is 6.9 andn is 1.5. The voltage dependence of the apparent pK a suggests that the critical pH-sensitive moiety producing the pH-dependent Cl− efflux is sensitive to the membrane electric field, while the insensitivity to temperature suggests that the apparent heat of ionization of this moiety is zero. The fact thatn is greater than 1 suggests that cooperativity between pH-sensitive moieties is involved in determining the Cl− efflux increment on raising external pH. The histidine-modifying reagent diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) applied at pH 6 reduces the pH-dependent Cl− efflux according to the relation, efflux=exp(−k·[DEPC]·t), wheret is the exposure time (min) to DEPC at a prepared initial concentration of [DEPC] (mm). At 17°C,k −1=188mm·min. For temperatures between 10 and 23°C,k has an apparent Q10 of 2.5. The Cl− efflux inhibitor SCN− at a concentration of 20mm substantially retards the reduction of the pH-dependent Cl− efflux by DEPC. The findings that the apparent pK a is 6.5 in depolarized muscles, that DEPC eliminates the pH-dependent Cl− efflux, and that this action is retarded by SCN− supports the notion that protonation of histidine groups associated with Cl− channels is the controlling reaction for the pH-dependent Cl− efflux.

    Notes: Summary Outwardly rectifying Cl− channels in cultured human Jurkat T-lymphocytes were activated by excising a patch of membrane using the inside-out (i/o) patch-clamp configuration and holding at depolarized voltages for prolonged periods of time (1–6 min at +80 mV, 20°C). The single-channel current at +80 mV was 4.5 ± 0.3 pA and at −80 mV, it was 1.0 ± 0.4 pA. After activation, the probability of being open (P 0)for the lymphocyte channel was voltage independent. Activation of the Cl− channel in lymphocytes was temperature dependent. Nineteen percent of i/o recordings from lymphocytes made at 20°C exhibited Cl− channel activity. In contrast, 49% of recordings made at 30°C showed channel activity. The number of channels in an active patch was not significantly different at the two temperatures. Channel activation in excised, depolarized patches also occurred 20-fold faster at 30°C than at 20°C. There was no marked change in the single-channel conductance at 30°C. Open-channel conductance was blocked by 200 μm indanyloxyacetic acid (IAA) or 1 mm SITS when applied to the intracellular side of the patch. The characteristics of this channel are similar to epithelial outwardly rectifying Cl− channels thought to be involved in fluid secretion

    Notes: Summary We recently described a large, multiple-conductance Cl− channel in excised patches from normal T lymphocytes. The properties of this channel in excised patches are similar to maxiCl− channels found in a number of cell types. The voltage dependence in excised patches permitted opening only at nonphysiological voltages, and channel activity was rarely seen in cell-attached patches. In the present study, we show that Cl− channels can be activated in intact cells at physiological temperatures and voltages and that channel properties change after patch excision. Maxi-Cl− channels were reversibly activated in 69% of cellattached patches when the temperature was above 32°C, whereas fewer than 2% of patches showed activity at room temperature. Upon excision, the same patches displayed large, multiple-conductance Cl− channels with characteristics like those we previously reported for excised patches. After patch excision, warm temperatures were not essential to allow channel activity; 37% (114/308) of inside-out patches had active channels at room temperature. The voltage dependence of the channels was markedly different in cell-attached recordings compared with excised patches. In cell-attached patches, Cl− channels could be open at cell resting potentials in the normal range. Channel activation was not related to changes in intracellular Ca2+ since neither ionomycin nor mitogens activated the channels in cell-attached patches, Ca2+ did not rise in response to warming and the Cl− channel was independent of Ca2+ in inside-out patches. Singlechannel currents were blocked by internal or external Zn2+ (100–200 μm), 4-acetamido-4′ isothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulfonate (SITS, 100–500 μm) and 4,4′-diisothiocyanostilbene 2,2′disulfonate (DIDS, 100 μm). NPPB (5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate) reversibly blocked the channels in inside-out patches.

    Notes: Summary In each of the five years 1978 to 1982, seed lots of cv. Bintje, variously infested byPhoma foveata Foister andFusarium solani var.coeruleum (Sacc.) Booth, as found by wound and cut tests, respectively, were planted in a series of field experiments at six sites in Sweden. A statistically significant relationship between seed and progeny infestation was found forP. foveata each year, and in three years forF. solani. Benomyl and thiabendazole mist treatments of seed tubers at grading in spring controlled the development of gangrene and dry rot in treated seed tubers, but did not consistently reduce the levels ofP. foveata andF. solani infestation in progeny from treated seed tubers. The site of cultivation markedly influenced mean levels ofP. foveata infestation, which were found to be related to temperature and rainfall during a 40 day pre-harvest period at the trail sites; however, mean levels ofF. solani infestation were not so related.

    Notes: Summary Attempts were made to increase the starch content of callus tissue from tubers of cvs Lemhi Russet and Russet Burbank by varying growth regulator concentration, sugar source, sugar concentration, temperature and callus shape. Starch content was always higher in media containing no growth regulators. Callus spread over the media contained more starch than unbroken rectangular or cube-shaped callus. Sucrose was superior to glucose and fructose for starch formation. A sucrose concentration of 20 % produced more starch than lower concentrations. Callus growth decreased as the sucrose concentration increased. ‘Lemhi Russet’ callus incubated with 8 % sucrose at 20, 25 and 30 °C contained 1.2, 0.4 and 0.8 % starch respectively, which was much higher than in ‘Russet Burbank’ callus. With varying amounts of mannitol as an osmoticum in 8 % sucrose, the most starch was found in the medium containing 5 % mannitol.

    Notes: Summary To expand potato production in developing countries using cuttings as a source of good quality planting material, requires simple low cost methods to root and establish them. Experiments at a warm tropical site in the Philippines, to determine appropriate methods, showed that simple media ranging from fine sand to clay subsoil mixed with rice hulls enabled rooting which was not improved by hormones. Nitrogen rich media, such as volcanic soil or compost with additional P, were best for developing cuttings into strong transplants but there were no major differences in root and shoot development from cuttings differing in size and age. Tuberizations was favored by increasing the number of nodes buried in the media. Low solar radiation of 7 MJ/m2/day enabled high cutting survival up to root initiation, after which higher radiation supported larger root and shoot production.

    Notes: Summary The incidence ofP. foveata in soil and tuber samples from field experiments often increased significantly as the harvest season progressed and temperatures fell. Mean levels of tuber and soil infestation were significantly higher in irrigated rows compared with those artificially sheltered from precipitation, both at normal and late harvest dates. Soil infestation was most frequently detected within 10 cm of the parent tuber. No pycnidia were visible on the haulm, and very few latently infected stem segments and leaves were detected using various methods. In three out of four years, the incidence ofP. foveata in tubers after wounding was reduced by washing them gently in tap water immediately after harvest.

    Notes: Abstract Pythium fluminum produced zoospores most abundantly at 15°C, whereas the optima forPythium ‘group F’ andP. marsipium were 20 and 25°C, respectively. Increasing the incubation temperature above the optimum resulted in the decrease of the duration of zoospore production. InPythium ‘group F’ the ability to produce zoospores was not lost even after incubation at 40°C for 24 h. On the other hand,P. marsipium andP. fluminum lost the ability under these conditions. Zoospore production was inhibited at pH 4.5 and 10.5 in all the species tested.Pythium fluminum andP. marsipium were found to have two pH optima for zoospore production (7.5 and 9.5 for the former and 5.5 and 8.5 for the latter). The optimum pH for zoospore production byPythium ‘group F’ was 6.5–7.5. Moderate osmotic potentials (−0.27∼−0.47 MPa) appeared to favor zoospore production by the pythia tested. The effect of temperature, pH and osmotic potential on zoospore production was discussed in relation to pollution of pond water.

We have developed a powerful RP-HPLC method for the separation of molecular species, including so-called “critical pairs”, of natural mixtures of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine from bovine milk and other natural sources. We have used a novel multivariate development and optimization strategy to locate the region of optimum separation conditions within a prechosen domain of the chromatographic parameter space.

    Notes: Summary Polyacrylate films containing a lauryl moiety were fabricated on about 12 μm I.D. fused silica capillaries by in-situ photopolymerization of acrylates. Relatively thick films up to 1 μm were obtained by the technique. The films were tested as retentive layers for reversed phase open tubular liquid chromatography (OTLC). Due to the presence of the incorporated lauryl moiety in the layer considerable retention could be achieved for polar compounds with aqueous mobile phases. The efficiency of the prepared columns approximates to the theoretical value. The polyacrylate films appear to be extremely stable even under strong basic conditions. The films swell considerably in the presence of nonpolar solvents resulting in more favourable retention and a significant improvement of the chromatographic performance.

    Notes: Summary A validated reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure employing electrochemical detection (LCEC) for the analysis of carbidopa and levodopa in human plasma is reported. The method is sensitive and specific with amperometric detection at a glassy carbon working electrode with Eapp=0.75 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The retention times of levodopa, internal standard, and carbidopa are 3.3, 4.5, and 9.7 minutes, respectively, with an overall chromatographic run time of 12.0 minutes. The peak height ratio versus plasma concentration is linear over the range of 5.0 to 500 ng/mL for each analyte and exhibits correlation coefficients of 0.9957 or better (n=9). The mean absolute recovery of carbidopa and levodopa using the described assay is 36.6 and 66.0%, respectively. The inter- and intra-day accuracy and precision are within 11.8% of the actual values for all concentrations. Also, due to the demonstrated instability of carbidopa and levodopa in plasma a procedure is provided to circumvent this. Blood collected in pre-treated Vacutainer tubes can be stored in an ice bath for up to 4 hours without any significant degradation, thereby providing a practical means for processing several clinical samples simultaneously.

Such treatment may lead to an increase in the amounts of metals present in the sample due to their release from containers or equipment used in an acidic environment and to metal impurities contained in the acids. The effect of these interferences in the determination of trace metals in human hair was studied.

    Notes: Summary Retention characteristics in normal phase HPLC of highly biologically active chloro-added polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were studied. Silica, cyanopropyldimethylsilyl- and aminopropylsilyl- modified stationary phases were investigated. Retention properties of chloroadded PAHs on these phases were shown to be strongly influenced by the number of chloro-additions. This is due to the strong polarity of the methylene carbon at the chloro-addition site. Active silica had a strongly degrading effect on the unstable chloro-added PAHs during separation. Aminopropylsilica did not exhibit sufficient selectivity towards chloro-added PAHs when compared to chlorosubstituted PAHs. Cyanopropyldimethylsilica was shown to be applicable to a group separation of chloro-added and chloro-substituted PAHs. A fast clean-up procedure for chloro-added PAHs in complex samplesis outlined. It involves an initial elimination of more polar substances on a short open column with strongly deactivated silica and a subsequent separation on a cyanopropyldimethylsilyl HPLC column in normal phase mode.

    Notes: Summary The complex intraparticle structure typical of chromatographic column packings has been analyzed by use of an equivalent network model which emphasizes pore size distribution and connectivity. Special attention is given as to the way in which diffusion and adsorption interact and display modified peak spreading characteristics according to the morphology of the pore space. This study reveals a very significant increase in the column band broadening over that expected from physical adsorption which can arise from particular distributions of pore sizes. This has implications for designing packings which take advantage of the separating power due to adsorption but do not compromise the resolution of the chromatographic system.

Gas chromatography/FTIR spectrometry (GC/FTIR) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) were employed for individual congener identification and determination. Sample extraction, clean-up of extract and selective elution procedures were optimized by using reference certified marine sediment samples. Recovery and precision were typically 83% and 16% respectively at 2 ng/g of total PCB content. The proposed procedure, tested by analyzing real sediment samples, showed a reproducibility better than 20% at 13 ng/g PCB level.

    Notes: Summary The aminoacid glutamine in aqueous solution and in conditions of high temperature and long term storage is partly transformed into pyroglutamic acid which exhibits potential neurotoxic effects. Commercially available aminoacid mixtures supplemented with glutamine are heat-sterilized and some losses of glutamine and formation of pyroglutamic acid may occur. The aim of the work was to set up an easy and reliable HPLC method which allows the determination of pyroglutamic acid as a degradation product of glutamine. The column was a 5 μm Hypersil ODS (100×4.6 mm) and the mobile phase 100% 0.007 M phosphate buffer pH 3.5. Stability studies in different conditions of temperature and time of storage were performed on aminoacid mixture available in the commerce.

    Notes: Summary Fluorogenic reagents (luminarin 3, luminarin 11 and luminarin 12), having a quinolizinocoumarin moiety as fluorophore and a carboxylic acid hydrazide function as reacting group, have been developed. These reagents were found to be highly sensitive fluorescence derivatization reagents for aldehydes and ketones in high-performance liquid chromatography. The reagents readily react with carbonyl compounds in aqueous sulphuric acid solution (0.1 M) at room temperature to produce the corresponding hydrazone derivatives, which can be separated on both reversed or normal-phase column. The structures of the derivatives were studied, together with their properties in reversed and normalphase chromatographic systems. UV absorbance, corrected fluorescence spectral data and quantum yields of luminarin 3, luminarin 11 and luminarin 12 are presented. The detection limits (signal to noise ratio=3) for aldehydes and ketones were in the sub-pmol range. Luminarin 3 was also applied to the determination of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in orange juices and concentrates. The method for HMF involves the solid-liquid extraction of the juice by using a C-18 cartridge prior to derivatization and normal-phase separation of the derivative with fluorimetric detection at 387 nmex., 444 nm em. The calibration curve was linear for amounts of HMF ranging from 0.1 to 10 nmol. Intrarun relative standard deviation was 12.8% for 0.1 nmol and 2.6% for 1 nmol. Recovery studies indicated an average of 98.7±1.9% for juice concentrate and 99.8±3.2% for pasteurized juice.

    Notes: Summary Optimization procedures require adequate response criteria to assess the quality of each chromatogram obtained during the process. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of using different resolution functions, in the chromatographic separation of a drug and its impurities (particularly the impurity just eluted after the drug). This study shows the limits of some resolution expressions. The interest of the simple Δt criterion, the difference between retention times, is presented in this paper.

    Notes: Summary The retention of retinoids in reversed-phase liquid chromatography was studied using aqueous mobile phases of different composition (methanol 94–86% and acetonityrile 92–82%) at five temperatures (40–60 °C). With both organic modifiers the effect of the molecular structure increased as the water content and the polarity of the mobile phase increased. The temperature-dependence increased in the same manner with aqueous acetonitrile mobile phases. The π-π interactions between the retinoids and acetonitrile diminish when the water content of the mobile phase is increased, as happens also to the hydrophobic interactions with both organic modifiers. The net effect of these changes depends on the composition of the mobile phase. There was excellent correlation of retention with all polarity parameters studied(ϕ, P′, xe, xd, xn, E T N , δT, δ, δo and δd), when the calculations were made separately with methanol and acetonitrile. The volume fraction of the organic modifier, ϕ, was the only parameter describing the retention well in both organic modifiers simultaneously.

    Notes: Summary An HPLC method has been developed for the determination of SL 85.1016, a new calcium antagonist arylbenzylamide methylthioether derivative. SL 85.1016 and the internal standard, SL 87.0210, are extracted from alkaline human plasma withn-hexane and back extracted into 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5; 0.2 ml). Acetonitrile (50 μl) is added to the final aqueous extract in order to prevent absorption of the compounds of interest onto the walls of the glass tube; this solution then is partially processed by HPLC on a C18 column with UV detection (254 nm). The determination limit of the method is 2 ng.ml−1 of SL 85.1016 in human plasma; the response to the drug is linear in the range 2–200 ng.mg−1.

    Notes: Summary Two pre-column derivatization procedures coupled with reversed phase HPLC have been compared for the analysis ofS-Alk(en)yl0L-cysteine sulfoxides in variousAllium species. In order to establish external standards some (+/-) sulfoxides were synthesized, using a new method to enhance asymmetric synthesis of the diastereoisomers. The first derivatization method is the formation ofo-phthaldialdehyde/tert.-butylthiol derivatives which can be analyzed using UV detection. The second, presently used for amino acid analysis, is the Waters Pico-Tag method, which employs phenylisothiocyanate as derivatization reagent. As the Pico-Tag method was found to be the most efficient for determination ofS-alk(en)yl-L-cysteine sulfoxides it was used to determine the alliin content of various samples of garlic.

    Notes: Summary The derivatizing procedure of Moody et al. [20] for valproic acid has been simplified and applied to the simultaneous HPLC determination of valproic acid (VPA), barbital (B), primidone (PRM), phenobarbital (PB) and carbamazepine (CBZ) in serum or plasma of epileptic patients. The sample is deproteinized with acetonitrile containing esterification agents and an aliquot of the supernatant is heated to 70°C for 15 min with 4-bromophenacyl bromide. The reaction mixture is analysed on a C18 column at ambient temperature, with gradient elution and with detection at 205 nm. The time required for the chromatographic analysis is 13 min; identification is based on retention time and quantification is by peak area determination with an internal standard. The calibration curves show good linearity in the range 6.25 to 100 mg/L. The detection limits at a signal: noise ratio ≥3, ranged from 1 mg/L for B and CBZ to 2–3 mg/L for PRM, PB and VPA. The method described for the simultaneous determination of the five drugs in the same plasma pool, correlated well with isocratic HPLC methods specific for each drug. The simultaneous procedure described allows a reproducible (CVs≤6.5% within run) and rapid (25 min for sample preparation: 13 min for chromatographic run) therapeutic monitoring of patients treated with VPA and two or more antiepileptic drugs.

    Notes: Summary Spherical, porous-polymer particles for column packing in high-performance liquid chromatography were prepared by suspension copolymerization of alkylvinyl ether with triethyleneglycol divinyl ether. The hydrophobicity of the packings was easily adjusted by changing the monomer ratio. The packings showed the usual reversed-phase liquid chromatographic properties, but did not sho abnormal retention, tailing and broadening of peaks and irreversible adsorption of ionic and aromatic substances, owing to the lack of ionic or aromatic groups. In addition, the packings were stable in alkaline solutions because of the relative alkali stability of C−O−C bonds as compared with CO−O and Si−O−C bonds in conventional packings.

    Notes: Summary Indirect photometric and unsuppressed direct conductivity detection modes are examined using naphthalene mono-, di-, and tri-sulfonate as mobile phases for the separation of several anions such as F−, Cl−, NO2 −, Br−, NO3 −, SO4=,I−, and SCN− using a commercial anion exchange column. With all three mobile phases, conductivity detection shows better sensitivities and detection limits than indirect photometry. Conductivity detection is 5 to 16 times more sensitive than indirect photometry for all analytes. Detection limits achieved using these mobile phases are, for example, 0.04 ng and 0.1 ng for chloride ion with conductivity and indirect photometry, respectively. Both detection modes give wide linear ranges extending from at least 100 ppm to the detection limit of each anion which is generally about 0.02 ppm. Sulfur oxide anions such as dithionate and tetrathionate are separated using flow programming with naphthalenetrisulfonate as the mobile phase in less than 20 minutes. With both detection modes, desired chromatographic performance of these three eluents is achieved without pH adjustment of the mobile phase.

    Notes: Summary An enhanced method of HPLC for the determination of 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde (HMF) in fluid milk was perfected. Its resolving capacity permitted the specific separation of this compound. The real concentration (μmol/l) of HMF was determined and not the HMF value, as in the colorimetric analysis, where an intermediary coloured compound (HMF-TBA) is utilised. The optimum pH condition (pH=4.0–4.2) for the mobile phase to prevent overlapping between the HMF peak and the peaks of the other compound (α and β) that coeluted with the HMF and also the optimum organic solvent content (3% or 7%) were established. This is a sensitive, quick and safe method for the determination of HMF in fluid milk.

Three chlortetracycline hydrochloride samples were analysed. The main component and the impurities were determined. An analysis of variance, treating each column as a different laboratory, showed an absence of consistent between-laboratory bias and the presence of a significant laboratory-sample interaction. The repeatability and the reproducibility of the method, expressed as relative standard deviations of the result of the determination of chlortetracycline hydrochloride, were calculated to be 0.9% and 1.1% respectively.

This chromatographic system (PRP-1 column) provides a rapid means for the determination of two of the most important arsenic species, arsenobetaine and arsenite. Addition of methanol (5%) to the aqueous mobile phase allows the differentation of arsenobetaine from the system peak when using UV detection.

    Notes: Summary The provitamin A content of some food samples was determined by methods involving MgO: Hyflosupercel gravityflow column chromatography (GFCC) and reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the quantitation being done by external standardization (HPLC-ES) or internal standardization (HPLC-IS) with Sudan. The results obtained with α- and β-carotene in carrots, β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin in papaya and β-carotene in tomato and kale agreed well, showing that any of the these techniques can be used, provided the analysis is done under optimum conditions. Good separation of the different provitamins using GFCC depends on the analyst's skill and visual acuity. HPLC-ES required a constant supply of provitamin standards, thus the varying purity of commercially available standards and the high instability of these compounds could pose grave problems. Due to the stability of Sudan, HPLC-IS appeared to be the method of choice although passage of the extract through a MgO: Hyflosupercel minicolumn was required prior to injection to separate chlorophylls, dihydroxy- and polyoxycarotenoids which would otherwise elute with Sudan. Nonconformity of the Sudan structure to those of the provitamins did not effect the quantitative results. The chromatographic separation, identity and quantification of the provitamins could be more easily established by using HPLC-IS, complemented with GFCC.

    Notes: Summary Liquid and gas chromatographic separations of the pyrethroid insecticides allethrin and cypermethrin have been investigated with various achiral and chiral stationary phases. Diastercomeric and enantiomeric selectivity was observed for cypermethrin on a Pirkle-type chiral LC stationary phase, but very strong interactions and therefore long retention times prevented the separation of allethrin on this phase. Trans-allethrin isomers were separated on a chiral β-cyclodextrin RP-HPLC column while cypermethrin showed some difficulties on this phase due to isomerization. Diastereomeric but no enantiomeric selectivity by GC was achieved for cypermethrin with an apolar DB 5 capillary. GC separation of the diastereomers was used to study the selective photodegradation of cypermethrin isomers after forestry applications. Chiral β-cyclodextrin-based GC phases showed some enantioselectivity for cis- and trans-allethrin isomers. A separation of the eight isomers into six partially resolved peaks was achieved by GC with a coupled column consisting of chiral permethylated β-cyclodextrin and DB 1701 as stationary phases. This combination was used to characterize allethrin formulations intended for indoor use and to investigate allethrin products formed by ozonolysis of thin films of the insecticide.

The amount of sotolon in “Vin jaune” (120 to 268 μg/l) was related to the development of the yeast film over a period of 6 years. Only 6 to 51 μg/l were found in the “Vin de paille” which is made with overmaturated grapes of the same Savagnin vine-plant but without development of yeasts, and 80 to 140 μg/l in “Tokai” which are partly grown under a yeast film.

    Notes: Summary A liquid chromatographic method incorporating column-switching and fluorimetric detection for the determination of triamterene in untreated urine, is described. The urine samples (5 μL) were directly introduced onto an Hypersil ODS-C18, 30 μm (20 mm×2.1 mm I.D.) pre-column. Polar urinary compounds were removed by flushing the pre-column with water for 1 min, and the analyte was then switched onto an HP-LiChrospher RP C18,5 μm (125 mm×4mm ID) analytical column using an acetonitrile/phosphate buffer gradient elution. Fluorescence detection was performed at 230 nm excitation and 430 nm emission wavelengths. The recovery of drug was 102±2% in the 0.10–20.0 μg/mL concentration range, the limit of detection being 5 ng/mL. A validation of the usefulness of this procedure was accomplished by analysing urine extracts obtained from real samples.

    Notes: Summary The validity of a method for characterizing stationary phases for reversed-phase, liquid chromatography, based on the use of homologous series, has been evaluated. The method is based on a retention model which describes the dependence of the logarithm of the capacity factor on mobile phase composition and the carbon number of specific homologous series. A first-order as well as a second-order version of this model was investigated. The second-order model proved to be a significant improvement on the first-order model, even for smaller mobile-phase ranges. Nevertheless both models showed a significant lack of fit, reflecting the incompleteness of these models. Therefore, it is very questionable whether this method is suitable to describe HPLC-column characteristics like hydrophobicity and hydrophylicity.

With copolymers containing 37, 31, or 26% acrylonitrile, the elution characteristics in the ternary systems could be logically extrapolated towards the points measured in the corresponding binary gradient system.

Retention behavior of (+)-S-145 on these columns revealed that the strength of inclusion was β→γ→α-cyclodextrin. Interaction between β-cyclodextrin and (+)-S-145 was found to increase as the proportion of carboxylic ion in the (+)-S-145 molecule increased. Comparison of binding capacities of these bondedsilica gels obtained by frontal analysis and surface coverage indicated that availability of the immobilized β- and γ-cyclodextrin was 20–25%. The synthesized β-cyclodextrin bonded-phase column was superior to that of commercial columns in terms of chiral separation of (±)-S-145. A typical usage of the β-cyclodextrin column is discussed for separation of (±)-S-145 in plasma samples.

    Notes: Summary Determination of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols in aqueous and nonaqueous solutions by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. The alcohol is derivatized with phthalic anhydride to yield the corresponding monophthalate. Separation of the derivative is achieved on an ODS-10 reverse phase (RP) column by elution with an appropriate isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile and aqueous phosphoric acid (0.1%). Detection is accomplished by UV absorption at 230 nm or 280 nm giving linear calibration plots, for alcohols in aqueous solution from 0.05% to 0.50% (w/v) and in pyridine solution from 0.0025% to 0.0250% (w/v).

    Notes: Summary The interaction between some polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons of environmental concern, and sodium dodecylsulphate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in the presence of methanol, 2-propanol and n-butanol has been evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography using micellar mobile phases. Solute-micelle association constants have been determined for the compounds investigated. The results show that the addition of the alcohol to the mobile phase decreases the association constant values, methanol 〈2-propanol 〈n-butanol, relative to those in the absence of any additive.

    Notes: Summary A method suitable for the determination of 19 biogenic amines in wine has been developed. The method involves derivatization of amines by treatment with dansyl chloride and solid-phase extraction of the derivatives. Prior to the derivatization procedure, clean-up of the wine sample with polyvinylpyrrolidone is carried out. Reversed-phase gradient elution HPLC with UV detection at 250 nm was used to determine these compounds. Some consideration was given to the effect of temperature on the separation process. Linearity of derivatization was obtained for amounts of all the biogenic amines ranging from 500 μg·L−1 to 20 mg·L−1. Limits of detection (signal-to-noise ratio=3) of the amines were similar for all the dansylderivatives (between 50 and 150 μg·L−1). Addition of standard amines was used for the determination of amine recoveries. These were better than 85% for ethanolamine, tryptamine, phenetylamine, putrescine, cadaverine and histamine. The overall process was succesfully applied to identify and quantify biogenic amines in white and red wines.

    Notes: Summary Bonded silica columns have been evaluated for their ability to separate carbohydrates and polyols. Mobile phases consisting of dichloromethane/methanol produced the best separations in comparison with the acetonitrile/water mixtures commonly used with amino columns. Of all the bonded phases tested, LiChrospher Diol silica provided the best separations, and selectivities were not very different from those obtained on the most popular system using an amino bonded phase and acetonitrile/water as eluent. In addition, diol columns with a dichloromethane/methanol eluent offer excellent stability with no Schiff’s base formation of reducing sugars. Using an evaporative light scattering detector, low limit detection is obtainable (20 ng of glucose from a column) and gradient elution is quite feasible.

    Notes: Summary A comparative study of the solid phase extraction of phenolic compounds in water was carried out. Three different sorbents, C18, CH and PLRP-S, were tested for the preconcentration process in order to determine phenolic compounds in water at μg l−1 levels by reversed-phase LC separation and diode-array detection. The addition of an ion-pair reagent in the extraction process was also studied in order to increase the breakthrough volume of some compounds. Using the optimized conditions the limit of detection was less than 0.5 μg l−1, the maximum admissible concentration (MAC) in drinking water. The method was applied to determine phenolic compounds in Ebro river water however no phenols were found within the detection limits of the method.

    Notes: Summary A new method for the extraction of basic drugs from whole blood based on the use of a buffered protein precipitating reagent at pH9, to form NiWO4 in biological fluids and a ternary organic extracting phase of density below 1 is proposed. The extract is analysed by high performance liquid chromatography using a Hypersil C8 column and detection at 230 nm; the mobile phases used consist of binary mixtures of acetonitrile and aqueous solutions containing 20 mmol/l ofn-propylamine at pH 5 andn-hexylamine at pH 4, as blockers of the free silanol groups. The proposed method was applied to the determination of 16 basic drugs including narcotics, analgesics, cocaine-related compounds and adulterants, as well as 8 benzodiazepines, in whole blood.

    Notes: Summary A column-switching method using two separation columns combined with UV detection at 260 or 236 nm has been used to determine the imidazolinone herbicides imazethapyr and imazapyr in soils. The residues were extracted from the soil with 0.1 M aqueous sodium carbonate solution and, after adjusting the pH to 2.0, the solution was partitioned with dichloromethane. Limits of determination for imazethapyr and imazapyr were 3 μg/kg. Recoveries were from 55 to 75% for both imidazolinone herbicides in the range 3–100 μg/kg in soil.

    Notes: Summary The retention characteristics of 22 aniline derivatives were determined on a porous, graphitized-carbon column in unbuffered acetonitrile-water and methanol-water mixtures. Each aniline derivative gave symmetrical peaks in each eluent without buffers. Good linear correlations were found between the log k′ and the concentration of the organic component in the eluent. The slope and intercept values differed according to the type of organic modifier and the charcter, number and position of substituents, indicating the different selectivities of methanol and acetonitrile and the good separating power of the column. Multivariate mathematical-statistical calculations proved that the retention of ring-substituted aniline derivatives is mainly governed by electronic parameters and the hydrogen acceptor capacity of substituents.

    Notes: Summary The principle of automated chromatographic peak detection and analysis software is summarized, and critical steps are systematically studied. As the only parameter to be entered is the acquisition frequency, evaluation of its effect on software performance is discussed. In the case of relatively noisy chromatograms, it is shown experimentally that numerous points per peak have to be taken, leading to quite fast computer acquisition procedures. The use of discrete Fourier transform filtration techniques can modify peak shapes and a comparative study evaluates the relative errors induced in the shapes and characteristics of the chromatographic profiles. Optimisation of filtering conditions is achieved and it is shown that for a filter position only 2% of the Nyquist frequency no deformation occurs in the chromatographic profile. Detection of the start and finish of chromatographic peaks is optimized according to a simple four step iterative procedure. In the case of simulations, the difference between the values used to simulate peaks and those calculated by the software are less than 1%.

    Notes: Summary A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the pro-drug 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5′-dFUR), its metabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and some fluorinated pyrimidines involved in the metabolic activation process of 5-FU. The method has been used to monitor the bioavailability of 5′-dFUR and 5-FU in patients undergoing anticancer chemotherapy. Serum sample treatment involves addition of internal standard (5-bromouracil), protein precipitation with saturated ammonium sulphate solution and liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate-isopropanol (90 ∶ 10 v/v). Urine is simply diluted with mobile phase and injected. The average recovery from serum (at 0.5 μg/mL level) was 95.0%±1.4 for 5′-dFUR and 86.3%±3.5 for 5-FU. A linear response extending over four decades of concentration was observed. Detection limits in the low ng/ mL range were obtained using a 250 μL sample size and a 20 μL injection volume. Within-day and between-day coefficients of variation were below 4 and 10%, respectively.

    Notes: Summary An integrated flow injection (FI)/HPLC system for the total and individual determination of carbamate pesticides (propoxur, carbofuran and carbaryl) is proposed. The determination is based on the alkaline hydrolysis of the analytes and subsequent coupling with diazotized sulphanilic acid to yield the monitored dyes with or without a prior separation step by HPLC in a C18 column. The calibration curves obtained are linear in the μg/ml range and r.s.d. values are between 0.5 and 3.7% in all instances. Injection of the sample into the FI manifold allows the total pesticide content in the sample to be screened. The manifold thus acts as a post-column reactor/detector of the chromatograph for samples with high overall carbamate content, which are also injected into the HPLC instrument. The performance was checked with contaminated water samples.

A correlation has been found between the retention behaviour on this stationary phase and the hydrophobicity of the compounds. The separation factor α is higher for compounds that are well retained. Retention, and thus α, are also controlled by pH and the percentage of organic modifier in the mobile phase.

    Notes: Summary Porous, perfluoroalkylated polymer-gels for column packings in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were prepared by suspension polymerization of heptadecafluorodecyl arcylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The packings showed no abnormal retention for ionic or aromatic compounds, due to the lack of ionic or aromatic groups. In addition, the packings showed no excessive retention for strongly hydrophobic compounds which is often the case with long-chain, alkylated silica gels and polymer gels. This is due to the extremely low surface energy of perfluoroalkyl groups. Therefore, perfluoroalkylated polymer gels enable isocratic HPLC separation of solutes with significantly different hydrophobicity.

    Notes: Summary The relationship between the specific capacity factor (k/S, where k is the capacity and S is the surface area of the sorbent, in m2) in the liquid chromatography of aromatic hydrocarbons and the adsorption energy (-°GA) has been investigated. The previously published results, based on the calculation of the work of adhesion (WSA) from contact angles, were re-examined and a new hypothesis on interactions at interfaces was employed. Direct proportionality has been found between k/S and-°GA, which allows prediction of the chromatographic behavior of adsorbates on sorbents. The surface free energy components were calculated in order to determine-°GA in terms of the work of adhesion. The dispersion component of the surface free energy of glass was obtained from the adsorption isotherm of n-octane and it was found that the hydrocarbon molecules are adsorbed in an oriented position. The contact angles of liquids on the outer surface of porous solids do not yield reliable values of WSA and of the surface free energy components. A higher intermolecular attraction increases WSA and decreases the contact angle in pores.
