The volume changes of lithium and sodium under pressure are discussed with respect to the packing density of the atoms and their valence. In densely packed Li I (bcc), Li II (fcc), and Li III (α-Hg type), valence increases from 1 at ≈ 5 GPa to ≈ 2.5 at 40 GPa. The maximum valence 3 is attained in Li IV (body-centered cubic, 16 atoms per cell, packing density q = 0.965) at 47 GPa. In densely packed Na I (bcc) a linear increase of valence from 1 at ≈ 10 GPa to 2.9 at 65 GPa is found which continues in Na II (fcc) up to 4.1 at 103 GPa.

Through considering the packing density and the lattice contraction, volume changes of elements with different structures DV on melting are modeled. An agreement between the model predictions and the experimental as well as theoretical data is found. Moreover, the alloy design principle for GFA of bulk metallic glasses (BMG) based on the size of DV is also suggested that amorphous metallic alloys will have the best GFA when its packing density approaches that of A2 crystal.

Abstract The volume changes of solid iodine under pressure are discussed with respect to the packing density of the atoms and to valence. The packing density of solid iodine which is 0.805 under ambient pressure increases to 0.976 in monoatomic iodine-II, 0.993 in iodine-III, and 1 in fcc iodine-IV. Simultaneously, the valence increases from 1 in the free molecule to 1.78 in the crystal structure under ambient pressure, 2.72 - 2.81 in iodine-II, 2.86 - 2.96 in iodine-III, and 3 in fcc iodine-IV. The valence then remains constant up to about 180 GPa and rises moderately to 3.15 at the highest investigated pressure of 276 GPa. Parameters for calculating bond numbers, valences and atomic volumes of densely packed halogens, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are given.

In the body-centered cubic structure and in closest sphere-packings the atoms are arranged to give structures with equal densities. A measure of the packing density of atoms is derived. Several crystal structures of elements, including the bcc structure and the closest sphere packings, represent a state of maximum density in which the atomic volume is characteristic of each element. From any crystal structure of an element its atomic volume in this state can be calculated to a good approximation.

The volume changes of cesium under pressure are discussed with respect to the packing density of the atoms and valence. The element is univalent in densely packed Cs I and Cs II. Valence increases in Cs III (packing density q = 0.973), in Cs IV (q = 0.943), in Cs V (q ≈ 0.99), and in close packed Cs VI. The diminuition of volume beyond ≈15 GPa is caused by this increase only which implies that electrons of the fifth shell act as valence electrons.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

Abstract Free cortisol as measured in saliva increases markedly following awakening. It is not clear, however, whether this is truly a stress-neuroendocrine response to awakening or a manifestation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) circadian cycle. We investigated whether the awakening cortisol response can be generated in the middle of nocturnal sleep, when secretory activity in the HPA axis is low. In a within subject design, salivary cortisol response was measured under three different awakening conditions: (1) awakening at the normal morning awakening time; (2) awakening four hours prior to normal awakening time, and (3) awakening the following morning after interrupted sleep. The overall main effect was a linear increase in free cortisol following awakening with no significant interaction with awakening condition. Cortisol levels, as determined by area under the cortisol curve calculated with reference to zero, did differ by awakening condition. The two morning awakening conditions were comparable but values were lower for night awakening. Area under the curve change (calculated with reference to the first awakening cortisol base value), however, did not distinguish the three awakening conditions. We conclude from these data that there is a clear free cortisol response to awakening for both nocturnal and morning awakening although the absolute levels produced are lower for nocturnal awakening when basal cortisol is low. Nocturnal interruption of sleep did not affect the subsequent morning response.

Gruner kale showed a linear increase (8.0 kg DM/ha per °Cd) in biomass with sowings on 1 October, 3 November and 1 December producing 23, 19 and 17 t DM/ha (respectively) by the 29 May. Regrowth following mid season defoliation was slow (5.3 kg DM/ha per °Cd) reducing total production (relative to undefoliated) by 7.5 and 5.5 t DM/ha for treatments defoliated on the 29 January and 14 March, respectively.
