    Notes:
    Using the two-dimensional reciprocal space mapping, we have clearly established the relative positions of the arsenic atom (EL2 defect) corresponding to its stable and metastable configurations. It is shown that lowering only the temperature of the sample, before transition, induces transformation of the lattice. Characteristic temperature (120–140 K) below which such transformation takes place is the same as for thermal recovery of the defect. It is suggested that this temperature related lattice relaxation might promote a further transition to the metastable state. Full reciprocal space maps of the x-ray diffracted intensity are shown for the whole substrate-layer system. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes:
    The two-circle powder diffractometer on Station 8.3 at the SRS has recently been relocated to station 2.3, some half the distance from a dipole radiation source with the same nominal 1.2T field. The purpose of this paper is to detail the changes and modifications to the diffractometer operation.

    Notes:
    A high resolution reflectivity diffractometer (HRRD) has been recently commissioned on Station 2.3 at the SRS, Daresbury Laboratory. Using the instrument which is x-ray wavelength tunable, the characterization of the interface structure in an ion-assisted deposited Co/Cu multilayer has been carried out. In order to improve the electron density contrast of the sample, we have used an x-ray energy near the Cu K edge of 8.989 keV. By scanning the normal (specular), near normal (off specular), and parallel axes (transverse) of the surface, we have obtained useful reflectivity intensity data. By applying simulations to the data, we have determined a total roughness (rms) of 6.0±0.5 Å with a significant contribution from correlated interfacial roughness (4.2±0.2 Å). Other detailed structural information obtained has successfully demonstrated that the commissioned instrument is a viable tool for reflectivity studies. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Daresbury Laboratory is currently completing the construction and commissioning of five new experimental research stations utilizing high flux hard x-ray radiation from a 6 T superconducting wiggler magnet. The broad areas of science covered by the new stations and the novel features are presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes:
    Depending on the growth conditions, FePd thin films can display a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy associated with chemical order. In competition with the shape anisotropy, this can lead to striped magnetic domains, with moments perpendicular to the film plane. Under these circumstances, magnetic flux closure should occur. The striped domains were studied with soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering using circularly polarized light to demonstrate the presence of closure domains. Magnetic depth profiling was performed both at the Fe and Pd L3 edge, by measuring the magnetic diffraction peak intensities versus angle of incidence θ. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Background The house dust mite has been shown to be an important source of domestic allergens associated with immediate hypersensitivities. The Group I mite allergens Der p I from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Der f I from D. farinae display extensive amino acid sequence homology and have similarities with cysteine protease enzymes.Objective The availability of the complete amino acid sequences for these allergens allowed us to search for the allergic detertninants within these molecules. The aim of the present investigation was to identify any continuous IgE-binding epitopes within these amino acid sequences. We also sought to test the validity of previously reported Der p I peptide epitope sequences.Methods In order to identity any continuous IgE epitopes, the amino acid sequences of Der p I and Der f I were synthesized as decapeptides overlapping in sequence and coupled to plastic pins. The specific IgE-binding capacity of these peptides was assayed using an enzyme-linked biotin-streptavidin procedure and sera from patients known to be sensitive to these allergens. Previously reported Der p I peptide epitopes were synthesized as free peptides and tested for their ability to inhibit specific IgE binding to allergen extract discs.Results None of the pin-coupled Der p I or Der f I peptides was found by the continuous epitope mapping procedure to bind significantly to specific IgE in the sera of hypersensitive patients. The previously reported Der p I peptide epitopes did not inhibit specific IgE binding to mite extract discs.Conclusion The specific IgE binding epitopes of the house dust mite allergens Der p I and Der f I are discontinuous in nature.

    Notes:
    1. Landrace swine were identified as malignant hyperpyrexia susceptible (MHS) or control by the contracture responses of gracilis muscle fibre bundles to 3% halothane, 2 mmol/l caffeine and 80 mmol/l KCI. The effects of calmodulin-antagonist drugs on the contractile behaviour of control and MHS preparations were investigated in vitro.2. Calmodulin-antagonists at micromolar concentrations induced contracture in both control and MHS muscle. Pretreatment of MHS muscle with calmodulin-antagonist drugs potentiated its response to halothane and caffeine.3. These results suggest that calmodulin-antagonist drugs cause an increase in myoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in both control and MHS muscle.
