Superconducting BSCCO thin films were obtained with high deposition rate (about 35 nmlmin) at temperatures of 720-8100C by MOCVD-technique. Characteristics of evaporation process of precursors were determined. The influence of deposition temperature and oxygen e a l pressure on superconducting phase formation and chemical composition of the films was studied. For recent years many studies were ...

This paper describes the assessment of silver European eel (Anguilla anguilla) escapement based on a “sedentary” population fraction analysis in a 60-km2 watershed of northern Brittany (France). Downstream migration fluxes were monitored using eel traps and related to environmental factors. Intensive electrofishing and fyke-net fishing were conducted to assess eel biomass, densities, and popula...

Evaluating the effects of managing for one forest resource in terms of associated impacts on other resources is not easy. Yet methods to identify potential trade-offs among forest resources are necessary to inform people about the implications of management options on public land. This paper uses a case study from a forest reserve in the northwestern United States to quantify trade-offs between...

We describe the head transducer model used in an experimental English-toMandarin speech translation system. Head transduction is a translation method in which weighted finite state transducers are associated with sourcetarget word pairs. The method is suitable for speech translation because it allows efficient bottom up processing. The head transducers in the experimental system have a wider ra...

In the operator algebraic formulation of probability theory Markov processes typically appear as perturbations of Bernoulli processes. We develop a scattering theory for this situation. This theory applies to the isomorphism problem between Markov processes and Bernoulli shifts as well as to the description of open quantum systems. Introduction. The need to extend classical probability theory i...

Continuous labeling and pulse-chase techniques were employed to study the synthesis and secretion of multiple forms of immunoreactive ,f?-endorphin by cultured dispersed rat anterior lobe cells and intact neurointermediate pituitary lobe. Cell and medium extract immunoreactive pendorphin (specific immunoprecipitation and radioimmunoassay) exhibiting a K,, similar to authentic ,&endorphin upon g...

Chromogranin B (CgB, secretogranin I) is a widespread constituent of neuroendocrine secretory granules whose function is unknown. To determine whether CgB affects the sorting of peptide hormone and neuropeptide precursors to secretory granules, we overexpressed CgB in AtT-20 cells, which exhibit an only moderate capacity to sort proopiomelanocortin and proteolytic fragments derived therefrom. I...
