    We studied the confinement effects on the phonon spectra of CdTe quantum dots by means of resonant Raman scattering measurements. The spectra show clearly longitudinal optical phonons, surface phonons and some of their overtone combinations. We show that the scattering due to surface phonons increases as the quantum dot size decreases. The results are obtained by tuning the laser excitation energy to resonance for quantum dots of different sizes inside the broad size distribution in CdTe-doped glasses. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    The efficiency, duration, and spectral content of the emission from laser-produced Ta plasmas in the 10–71 nm spectral region have been measured for laser pulse durations ranging from 100 fs to 70 ps. Efficiencies from 0.3% for 100 fs pulses to 2.65% for 70 ps pulses, x-ray pulse durations from less than 10 ps for 100 fs excitation pulses to 105 ps for 70 ps excitation pulses, and spectral content peaking in the 17–35 nm region were measured for 1 mJ pulses at intensities from 1011 to 5×1014 W/cm2.

    Notes:
    The time-resolved nonlinear transmission of bulk ε-GaSe has been studied in the femtosecond regime when resonantly exciting the material in the vicinity of the exciton at room temperature. Two regimes are evidenced. At early time delay, a blue shift of the exciton with no linewidth broadening can be related to optical Stark effect, while at longer time delay the usual exciton screening and band-gap renormalization due to real electronic transitions is observed. At resonance, a dependence of the Stark shift with the amplitude of the exciting field is obtained, as predicted by a simple "dressed-atom'' model.

    We report the measurement of intervalley scattering rates for optically excited carriers in GaAs. The measurements were performed using optical pulses of 6 fs duration and an energy distribution centered at 2.0 eV. The average rates for Γ→X and Γ→L intervalley scattering were separately estimated by varying the sample temperature.

    Notes:
    We studied confinement effects in CdTe quantum dots by means of photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. We show that by changing the detection energy we can resolve the spectrum of quantum dots of different sizes inside their much broader size distribution in CdTe-doped glass. The spectra obtained show several well-resolved lines. There is excellent agreement between the photoluminescence excitation spectra peak energies and calculations of the confined energy transitions based on a modified multiband envelope function model. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes:
    Summary The histological and ultrastructural characteristics of the heart ventricle in Clarias gariepinus (African catfish) has been studied by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The ventricle of the heart has a saccular shape and the myocardial wall consists of an outer thin compact myocardium and an inner well-developed spongy myocardium. The myocardial layer has small myocytes, interstitial spaces and blood vessels. The myocytes are the major constituents of the ventricular wall. They are long cells, with large nuclei, and predominantly euchromatin. The sarcoplasmic reticulum of the ventricular myocytes consists of a network of tubules and subsarcolemmal cisternae oriented mainly along the longitudinal axis of the myofibrils. In contrast to the ventricular structure of other fish species described in the literature (Greer-Walker et al., 1985; Santer, 1985; Sánchez-Quintana et al., 1995, 1996), the African catfish, a freshwater sedentary fish recently introduced in neotropical climatic environments, showed a saccular ventricle that consisted of two muscle layers, a thin compact layer with large vessels and a developed spongy layer. The ultrastructure of the ventricular myocardium of C.gariepinus is similar to that of other teleosts, inclusive that of fish with other swimming habits.

    Aims:  Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is associated with frequent lymph node metastasis and adverse clinical outcome. IMPC has been reported in breast, urinary bladder, ureter, lung and parotid gland but not in colon. We present the clinicopathological features of three cases of primary IMPC of the colon with a review of the literature.Methods and results:  The patients (one man and two women) were 53, 67 and 68 years old, respectively. The size of the tumour ranged from 20 to 100 mm in diameter. Histologically, all cases were composed predominantly of papillary tumour cell clusters with spaces in a background of fine fibrocollagenous stroma. One of the tumours (case 1) was nearly completely composed of IMPC, but the other two were associated with foci of adenocarcinoma and concurrent mucinous carcinoma, respectively. MUC1 was positive in all cases, suggestive of reverse cell orientation which is responsible for its unique histological features.Conclusions:  We report three cases of primary IMPC of the colon. Its clinical significance remains undetermined but the presence of this component may represent a poor prognostic factor.

    Notes:
    Two feeding experiments were conducted to evaluate the suitability of two commercial microdiets as a complementary food for the rearing of larval gilthead seabream Sparus aurata. The effect of these diets on growth, survival and total lipid composition, as well as the histological structure of the liver were examined. The results of the first trial highlighted water quality as an important factor for the survival of microdiet-fed larvae. An increase in water flow rate improved larval survival despite a reduction in live food supply. An effect of tank design on larval growth and survival was observed also and seems to be related with the light level inside the tanks; wider light grey tanks gave better results than narrower black ones. Microdiet feeding significantly improved larval growth and increased hepatocyte diameter and presence of PAS positive vacuoles suggesting an increased glycogen storage in comparison with that of larvae fed live prey only. Artificial diets provided the larvae with a higher amount of lipids and polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 series, resulting in a higher DHA content in the total lipid of the larvae fed on microdiets.

    Notes:
    This work presents the structure and ultrastructure of the interrenal gland and chromaffin cells, as well as the morphology of the head kidney of Brycon cephalus. The head kidney is composed of fused bilateral lobes located anterior to the swim bladder and ventrolateral to the spinal column. The parenchyma revealed lympho-haematopoietic tissue, melano-macrophage centres, interrenal gland and chromaffin cells. The interrenal gland consisted of cords or strands of cells grouped around the posterior cardinal vein and their branches. Chromaffin cells are found in small groups, closely associated with the interrenal gland and/or under the endothelium of the posterior cardinal vein. So far, the ultrastructural analysis has revealed only one interrenal cell type which contained abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum and numerous mitochondria with tubulo-vesicular cristae, characteristic of steroid-producing cells. Two types of chromaffin cells were observed. The first type was characterized by the presence of vesicles with round, strongly electron-dense granules, which were eccentrically located. Such cells were interpreted as noradrenaline cells. Meanwhile, cells which contained smaller vesicles and electron-lucent granules, with a small halo separating the granule from the vesicular limiting membrane, were identified as adrenaline cells.

    1. The concentration of renin and angiotensinogen (Ao) and the activity of angiotensin I-con verting enzyme (ACE) was measured in the ascites fluid of nephrotic rats obtained 8 days after puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) injection.2. Ascites fluid, serum and urine proteins of these rats were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).3. Renin, Ao and ACE were found in the ascites fluid and the percentage of the ratio ascites fluid/(plasma or serum) ranged from 5.9 to 9.9%. The electrophoretic analysis revealed that the ascites fluid contained low (Mr 〈 66 kDa) and high (Mr 〈 66 kDa) molecular weight proteins. Albumin and six proteins higher than 66 kDa were present both in the ascites fluid and in serum from nephrotic rats.4. Data from the study suggest that some proteins in the ascites fluid, including renin, Ao and ACE, come from the plasma. It is possible that the loss of renin, Ao and ACE to the ascites fluid may be playing a role in the metabolic alterations of these three proteins in PAN-nephrotic rats.

    Notes:
    The structural characteristics of the ventricular myocardium and the arterial distribution of the ventricular wall were studied in two freshwater teleost fish species (Piaractus mesopotamicus and Clarias gariepinus). The ventricular myocardium consists of two distinct layers, an external compact layer and an internal spongy layer. In Piaractus mesopotamicus the compact layer contains fibres with an external longitudinal arrangement and an internal circular arrangement. The arterial vascularization of the compact layer is provided by subepicardial vessels and their ramifications in both species.
