Structural Methods

Cells function through the complex temporal and spatial interplay of ions, metabolites, macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies. Biochemical approaches allow the investigator to define the components and the solution chemical reactions that might be involved in cellular functions. Static structural methods can yield information concerning the 2- and 3-D organization of known and unknown cellular constituents. Genetic and molecular techniques are powerful approaches that can alter specific functions through the manipulation of gene products and thus identify necessary components and sequences of molecular events. However, full knowledge of the mechanism of particular cell functions will require direct measurement of the interplay of cellular constituents. Therefore, there has been a need to develop methods that can yield chemical and molecular information in time and space in living cells, while allowing the integration of information from biochemical, molecular and genetic approaches at the cellular level.

Electron Energy Loss

One of the most important advancements of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in recent years has been the development of the analytical electron microscope (AEM). The microanalytical capabilities of AEMs are based on the three major techniques that have been refined in the last decade or so, namely, Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED), X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (XEDS) and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS). Each of these techniques can yield information on the specimen under study that is not obtainable by any other means. However, it is when they are used in concert that they are most powerful. The application of CBED in materials science is not restricted to microanalysis. However, this is the area where it is most frequently employed. It is used specifically to the identification of the lattice-type, point and space group of phases present within a sample. The addition of chemical/elemental information from XEDS or EELS spectra to the diffraction data usually allows unique identification of a phase.

Excitation Processes

The low energy loss region of a EELS spectrum carries information about the valence electron excitation processes (e.g., collective excitations for free electron like materials and interband transitions for insulators). The relative intensities and the positions of the interband transition energy loss peaks observed in EELS spectra are determined by the joint density of states (DOS) of the initial and final states of the excitation processes. Thus it is expected that EELS in reflection mode could yield information about the perturbation of the DOS of the conduction and valence bands of the bulk crystals caused by the termination of the three dimensional periodicity at the crystal surfaces. The experiments were performed in a Philipps 400T transmission electron microscope operated at 120 kV. The reflection EELS spectra were obtained by a Gatan 607 EELS spectrometer together with a Tracor data acquisition system and the resolution of the spectrometer was about 0.8 eV. All the reflection spectra are obtained from the specular reflection spots satisfying surface resonance conditions.

Planning Intervention

Formal articulation test responses are often used by the busy clinician as a basis for planning intervention goals. This article describes a 6-step procedure for using efficiently the single-word responses elicited with an articulation test. This procedure involves the assessment of all consonants within a word rather than only test-target consonants. Responses are organized within a Model and Replica chart to yield information about an individual's (a) articulation ability, (b) frequency of target attainment, substitutions, and deletions, (c) variability in production, and (d) phonological processes. This procedure is recommended as a preliminary assessment measure. It is advised that more detailed analysis of continuous speech be undertaken in conjunction with early treatment sessions.

Scattering Matrix Elements

Recent theoretical work has shown that the complete set of polarized elastic light-scattering studies should yield information about scatterer structure that has so far hardly been utilized. We present here calculations of angular dependences of light-scattering matrix elements for spheres near the Rayleigh and Rayleigh-Gans-Debye limits. The significance of single matrix elements is documented on examples that show how different matrix elements respond to changes in particle parameters. It appears that in the small-particle limit (Rg/λ < 0.1) we do not loose much information by ignoring "large particle" observables.

Planning intervention for narrative comprehension deficits requires a thorough understanding of a child’s skill in all component domains. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of three methods of measuring pre-readers’ event knowledge, an important predictor of story comprehension. Thirty-eight typically developing children (12 males; 26 females) between the ages of 30–59 months ( M = 42.05 SD = 7.62) completed three measures – verbal account, enactment, picture-sequencing – that tapped their knowledge of two different events before listening to stories based on each of those events and completing story comprehension tasks. Scores for verbal account and enactment, but not for picture sequencing, (1) were moderately correlated with comprehension scores for the corresponding story; (2) reflected differential knowledge of the two events, though not in the expected direction; (3) were moderately correlated with one another in the case of each story. In general measures for the same event were more highly correlated with one another than with measures of the other event. Overall, results suggest that verbal account and enactment may yield information useful for clinicians planning intervention for children with narrative comprehension deficits.

Abstract Ordered tetrad data yield information on chromatid interference, chiasma interference, and centromere locations. In this article, we show that the assumption of no chromatid interference imposes certain constraints on multilocus ordered tetrad probabilities. Assuming no chromatid interference, these constraints can be used to order markers under general chiasma processes. We also derive multilocus tetrad probabilities under a class of chiasma interference models, the chi-square models. Finally, we compare centromere map functions under the chi-square models with map functions proposed in the literature. Results in this article can be applied to order genetic markers and map centromeres using multilocus ordered tetrad data.

New Directions

Research has demonstrated that psychiatric diagnoses bear no relationship to certain important psychological variables, e.g., broad personality characteristics or even such clinically important issues as aetiology or prognosis (Frank, 1975). From that research, one dimension emerged which did yield information regarding aetiology and prognosis, viz., the process-reactive differentiation. As it seems important to examine this differentiation from a personological point of view, this review focused on the Rorschach performance of process and reactive schizophrenics. Essentially, the Rorschach studies suggest that process schizophrenics manifest more serious psychopathology cognitively than do reactives. Suggestions for further research were made.
