The reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation has been used to measure the static quadrupole moment Q2+ and B(E2;0+->2+) for the 1�779 MeV first excited state of 28Si. The results obtained are Q2+ = +15�5�3�4 efm2 and B(E2;0+->2+) = 326�20 e2fm4 ? The value obtained for Q2+ confirms the results of other recent determinations using the reorientation effect, and the B(E2; 0+ -> 2 +) value is in excellent agreement with the mean value deduced from previous lifetime determinations. Shell model and Hartree-Fock calculations of Q2+ both give a good account of the experimental result.

Fruit grading is an important step in postharvest processing. Based on the images of oranges, we can get those characters that describe the size and color of them. Then 16 features were used to grade the oranges. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that used the mean value of R, G, B, H, S, I and the variance of R, G, B, H, S, I together as parameters, and graded the oranges through Bayes inference method. Experimental result shows that our method is competitive.

AbstractIntrapopulation recurrent selection (IRS) has proven to be a promising breeding method in eucalyptus, mainly through being easier to carry out when compared to reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS). However, the recombination strategies in IRS that have not yet been compared. Thus, the purpose of this study was to verify the efficiency of different recombination methods in IRS. To do so, computer simulation was used considering different heritabilities (0.1, 0.5, 1.0), different initial allelic frequencies (0.2, 0.8) and allelic interactions without dominance and with complete dominance. The initial population consisted of 1000 individuals, which were selected at random for the beginning of cycle zero. These individuals were interbred two by two. Three selection strategies were carried out and, consequently, three recombination methods: recombine the best individuals selected within the best progenies; the best individuals phenotypically selected regardless of their genealogy; or selection in the mean value of the best progenies selected. It was observed that recombination of the best individuals regardless of their genealogy and of the best individuals within the best progenies provided for gains superior to recombination having only the mean of the progenies as reference. The average degree of dominance and the heritability of the trait should be considered at the time of choosing the method of selection followed by recombination.


1. The first accurate determinations of the velocity with which an α particle is expelled from a radio-active substance and of the value of E/M, the ratio of the charge to the mass, were made by Rutherford and Robinson by measuring the deflections in magnetic and electric fields. An α particle moving with velocity V perpendicular to the direction of a magnetic field H describes a circle of radius ρ where H ρ = MV/E. Rutherford and Robinson found for α particles expelled from radium C Hρ = 3·983 X 10 5 E. M. U. and V = 1·922 X 10 9 cm. per second. The mean value of E/M for α particles from radium emanation, radium A and radium C was 4820 E. M. U., which agreed to within the limits of experimental error with the value 4826 deduced from electrochemical data taking the atomic weight of helium as 3·998 and the value of the faraday as 9647. This value of the velocity of α particles from radium C has served as a standard from which the velocities of α particles from other radio-active substances have been calculated from the Geiger relation V 3 = k R. The present paper gives an account of a redetermination of the quantity Hρ for α particles from radium C by a method which is essentially similar to those used in previous determinations of this kind. From the value of Hρ the velocity has been calculated using the theoretical value of E/M which can be found to a high degree of accuracy from more recent determinations of the atomic weight of helium and the value of the faraday, taking into account the relativity correction for the increase in mass of the α particle. For the atomic weight of helium we may take 4·000, the value deduced by Van Laar from a consideration of the density determinations of Watson, Heuse, Taylor, and in particular of Guye’s discussion of Taylor’s results. Taking the value of the faraday given by recent determinations 9649·4 E. M. U. the value of E/M for a slow moving α particle is 4824·7 and on applying the correction for the relativity change of mass this becomes 4814·8 for the α particle from radium C, neglecting the mass of the lost electrons. It may be noted that Rutherford and Robinson’s experimental result, 4820 agrees as well with this latter value as with the value 4826 which they calculated.

Pd-Ce alloys exhibit various anomalies in physical properties due to mixed valences of Ce, and the anomalies are thought to be strongly related with the crystal structures. Since Pd and Ce are both heavy elements, relative magnitudes of (fcc-fpd) are so small compared with <f> that superlattice reflections, even if any, sometimes cannot be detected in conventional x-ray powder patterns, where fee and fpd are atomic scattering factors of Ce and Pd, and <f> the mean value in the crystal. However, superlattices in Pd-Ce alloys can be analyzed by electron microscopy, thanks to the high detectability of electron diffraction. In this work, we investigated modulated superstructures in alloys with 12.5 and 15.0 at.%Ce.Ingots of Pd-Ce alloys were prepared in an arc furnace under atmosphere of ultra high purity argon. The disc specimens cut out from the ingots were heat-treated in vacuum and electrothinned to electron transparency by a jet method.

The relative partition coefficients of krypton and xenon, and the regional blood flow in 27 superficial malignant tumour nodules in 22 patients with diagnosed tumours were measured using the 85mKr- and 133Xe-clearance method. In order to minimize the effect of biological variables on the measurements the radionuclides were injected simultaneously into the tumour. The distribution of the radiotracers was assumed to be in equilibrium at the beginning of the experiment. The blood perfusion was calculated by fitting a two-exponential function to the measuring points. The mean value of the perfusion rate calculated from the xenon results was 13 ± 10 ml/(100 g-min) [range 3 to 38 ml/(100 g-min)] and from the krypton results 19 ± 11 ml/(100 g-min) [range 5 to 45 ml/(100 g-min)]. These values were obtained, if the partition coefficients are equal to one. The equations obtained by using compartmental analysis were used for the calculation of the relative partition coefficient of krypton and xenon. The partition coefficient of krypton was found to be slightly smaller than that of xenon, which may be due to its smaller molecular weight.

SummaryIn the present paper described is a simple test for detecting soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) in blood. The test consists in mixing 1% protamine sulphate with diluted oxalated plasma or serum and reading the optical density at 6190 Å. In experiments with dog plasma, enriched with soluble fibrin complexes, it was shown that OD read in PS test is proportional to the amount of fibrin recovered from the precipitate. It was found that SFMC level in plasma increases in rabbits infused intravenously with thrombin and decreases after injection of plasmin with streptokinase. In both cases PS precipitable protein in serum is elevated indicating enhanced fibrinolysis. In healthy human subjects the mean value of OD readings in plasma and sera were found to be 0.30 and 0.11, while in patients with coronary thrombosis they are 0.64 and 0.05 respectively. The origin of SFMC in circulation under physiological and pathological conditions is discussed.

SummaryThe plasma tissue factor (TF) concentration was correlated to factor VII concentration (FVIIag) and factor VII activity (FVIIc) in 498 healthy volunteers ranging in age from 17 to 64 years. Immunoassays using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed for the determination of TF and FVIIag in plasma. The mAbs and the test systems were characterized. The mean value of the TF concentration was 172 ± 135 pg/ml. TF showed no age- and gender-related differences. For the total population, FVIIc, determined by a clotting test, was 110 ± 15% and the factor VIlag was 0.77 ± 0.19 μg/ml. FVII activity was significantly increased with age, whereas the concentration demonstrated no correlation to age in this population. FVII concentration is highly correlated with the activity as measured by clotting assay using rabbit thromboplastin. The ratio between FVIIc and FVIIag was not age-dependent, but demonstrated a significant difference between men and women. Between TF and FVII we could not detect a correlation.

SummaryThe plasminogen content was determined by a casein method in plasma and serum from 20 normal volunteers. The mean plasminogen content was found to be 10.1 ACU (the arbitrary caseinolytic unit defined in such a way that using a 3% casein solution and a digestion time of 20 min. at 37°C, 10 ACU gave an extinction of 0.300). No difference between serum and plasma regarding the plasminogen content was found.Plasminogen was determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from 2 ml plasma. The highest values found in the drained clots were 0.9 ACU/clot and 0.2 ACU/clot in the drained plus washed clots.Plasminogen was also determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from plasma with added purified plasminogen. The plasminogen was recovered in the washing fluid. According to these tests, then, purified added plasminogen is washed out of the clots.The plasminogen content of 20 thrombi obtained post mortem was also determined. The mean value was found to be 0.7 ACU/cm thrombus. Judging from our results, the “intrinsic clot lysis theory” is not the main mechanism of clot dissolution.
