AbstractHigh‐dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is curative treatment in various hematologic malignancies. Mobilization and collection of peripheral blood stem cell is the essential part of ASCT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various mobilization regimens, determine the risk factors associated with mobilization failure (MF). We also investigated whether iron overload, which has an adverse impact on various aspects of HSCT including overall survival had any impact on mobilization kinetics. A total of 118 consecutive patients were included in this study. The rate of MF was 11.8 % with the first mobilization regimen. Frequency of MF was higher in lymphoma (P < 0.001) patients and in those receiving G‐CSF alone (P= 0.01). Peripheral CD34+ cell count (P < 0.001), bone marrow cellularity (P < 0.001), reticulin fibrosis (P < 0.05) were significantly lower whereas serum ferritin levels (P = 0.06) tended to be higher in patients with MF. CD34+ cell count of the first apheresis product was positively correlated with the white blood cell count (P < 0.05; r = 0.232), platelet count (P = 0.01; r = 0.233), peripheral CD34+ cell count (P < 0.001; r = 0.704) and the grade of bone marrow reticulin fibrosis (P < 0.001; r = 0.366). Serum ferritin levels were negatively correlated with maximum peripheral CD34+ cell count (P = 0.02; r = −0.216) and the CD34+ cell count in the first product (P = 0.05; r = −0.183). Platelet count (P = 0.03; β = 0.262), peripheral CD34+ cell count (P = 0.02; β=0.279) were the two variables which remained to be significant in multivariate analysis. Predicting the poor mobilizers with the platelet count for instance may reduce the risk of MF by using more effective regimens in advance. J. Clin. Apheresis, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
The Production of 3‐Ketosucrose by Agrobacterium tumefaciens in Batch Culture
Authors: Kurowski W. Martin , Darbyshire John 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBatch cultures of Agrobacterium tumefaciens were grown in a stirred reactor holding 400 litres of a minimal medium containing 20 g of sucrose litre−1. 3‐Ketosucrose accumulated in the medium during the growth phase to reach a maximum concentration of 6–8 g litre1 at the point of sucrose exhaustion, 18–20 h after inoculation. The 3‐ketosucrose produced was free from other sugars. The yield of 3‐ketosucrose was influenced by initial aeration rate and inoculum size.
Hydrodenitrogenation of pyridine over a Co‐Mo‐AI2O3 catalyst
Authors: Gupta Rajnish K. , Mann Ranveer S. , Gupta Ashok K. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe vapour phase hydrogenation of pyridine was investigated in an integral flow reactor at a pressure of 5.62 MPa over an alumina‐supported cobalt‐molybdate catalyst. The effect of various process variables, viz. temperature, reactant ratio and space time, on the conversion of pyridine was studied. The kinetics of the hydrogenation of pyridine to form piperidine have been investigated. The reaction showed pseudo‐second order behaviour and the order of the reaction rate in the initial pyridine concentration was found to vary with temperature.

AbstractThe thermal reactivity of ammonium perchlorate was found to be dependent on the pH of the solution from which it had been crystallised. A nitric acid‐crystallised sample reacted faster than an ammonium hydroxide‐crystallised one.
The immobilisation of enzymes on titanium‐activated inorganic supports
Authors: Cardoso Joaquim P. , Chaplin Martin F. , Emery A. Nicholas , Kennedy John F. , Revel‐Chion Livio P. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMethods are described for the immobilisation of enzymes on inorganic supports activated by the surface deposition of an imperfectly crystallised film of TiO2. The stability of the preparations is shown to be strongly dependent on the integrity of the support‐TiO2 link which is in turn dependent on the pretreatment of the solid support. The enzyme may be linked to the activated support using 5‐aminosalicylic acid (with or without diazotisation), tannic acid or stannous chloride, or by direct contact. These preparations are shown to have activities and operational stabilities superior to those of a preparation made using the silane‐glutaraldehyde method on the same glass support.
Determination of matrix composition based on solute‐solute nearest‐neighbor distances in atom probe tomography
Authors: Geuser F. De , Lefebvre W. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIn this study, we propose a fast automatic method providing the matrix concentration in an atom probe tomography (APT) data set containing two phases or more. The principle of this method relies on the calculation of the relative amount of isolated solute atoms (i.e., not surrounded by a similar solute atom) as a function of a distance d in the APT reconstruction. Simulated data sets have been generated to test the robustness of this new tool and demonstrate that rapid and reproducible results can be obtained without the need of any user input parameter. The method has then been successfully applied to a ternary Al‐Zn‐Mg alloy containing a fine dispersion of hardening precipitates. The relevance of this method for direct estimation of matrix concentration is discussed and compared with the existing methodologies. Microsc. Res. Tech., 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Before the measurement of prejudice: Early psychological and sociological papers on prejudice
Authors: Webster Russell J. , Saucier Donald A. , Harris Richard J. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractGiven its renown, many psychologists and sociologists likely consider the publication of Gordon Allport's (1954/1979) seminal book The Nature of Prejudice as the inauguration of the psychological study of prejudice. However, we have uncovered rarely‐cited, published papers (starting in 1830) that provide a wealth of speculation on prejudice even before psychologists/sociologists attempted to measure it (circa 1925). Thus, this paper intends to discuss early published work on prejudice in psychology and sociology by focusing on three key questions: a) when did psychologists/sociologists recognize prejudice as a psychological phenomenon, b) when did psychologists/sociologists recognize prejudice as a phenomenon in need of study, and c) what were the historical and personal conditions that gave rise to the interest in prejudice? In short, the seeds of prejudice research were maturing for some time before Allport's seminal book and the first attitudinal studies on prejudice, although these earlier works are seldom cited. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
5a,10b‐Dihydrobenzofuro[2,3‐b]benzofuran type compounds and related products from P‐substituted phenols and glyoxal
Authors: Rahmatpour Ali 
Published: July 2010

Abstract
magnified imageCondensation reactions of glyoxal with p‐substituted phenol derivatives 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f have been carried out and the corresponding 5a,10b‐dihydrobenzofuro[2,3‐b]benzofuran 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f type compounds were obtained in good to excellent yields. The resulting dimeric products carrying methyl groups 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d were converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives as the new polymer forming monomers. Many of these reactions gave novel structures. No definite product was obtained by the similar reactions of glyoxal with thiophenol and aniline in place of phenols. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2010).
Policy measures for agricultural soil conservation in the European Union and its member states: Policy review and classification
Authors: Kutter T. , Louwagie G. , Schuler J. , Zander P. , Helming K. , Hecker J.‐M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAgricultural soils are being increasingly targeted by European Union (EU) policy measures including measures within the Common Agricultural Policy. Member states have implemented a variety of measures at the national and regional level, which regulate the use of soils or offer incentives for the adoption of soil conservation practices. However, information on the specific purposes and implementation of these measures is difficult to access and no comprehensive overview is available.We have elaborated a classification system for agricultural policies that allows the analysis of their impact on soil conservation. Each policy was defined as a set of singular policy measures. The policy measures were described with their attributes i.e. the soil quality objectives within the policy and the technical measures required. This classification system was applied to establish a policy inventory on the regulatory framework concerning agricultural soil conservation in the EU‐27. Data were gathered through a voluntary online survey completed by experts from national and regional ministries, administrative bodies and research institutes.More than 50 experts and institutions from 24 EU Member States participated in the survey and more than 400 policy measures were entered into the database. The survey enabled a detailed and comparative analysis of the interrelationships among soil conservation practices, soil degradation processes and policy measures across member states at the national or regional level. Most policies, however, did not lead to the achievement of specific environmental goals that allowed for evaluation. In many cases, similar soil protection problems were addressed using different policy options. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the Action of a Linear Operator over Sequences in a Banach Space
Authors: Plans Antonio , Lerís Dolores 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIn this paper we study the action of a bounded linear operator over different kinds of sequences of a Banach space. Our work is mainly devoted to minimal and M ‐ basic sequences.Plans and García Castellón have characterized the boundedness of a linear operator T by requiring the minimality of any sequence whose image is a minimal sequence (e.g. [P, 1969], [GC, 1990]). We extend these results to other types of sequences like M‐basic, basic, strong M‐basic, etc.,We are also interested on conditions that ensure the minimality of the image of a given minimal sequence. Thus in Corollary 3.7 we characterize semi ‐ Fredholm operators as those which transform every p‐minimal sequence into q‐minimal.In the last section we deal with M ‐ basis whose image is M ‐ basis or norming M ‐ basis or basis or in general the “best” possible sequence.
Singularities in Quasi‐Banach Spaces with Applications to Semilinear Elliptic Equations I
Authors: Runst Thomas 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe paper deals with the extension of the singularity theory which was elaborated for Banach spaces to quasi‐Banach spaces. For general quasi‐Banach spaces some striking tools fail: not locally convex, the dual space may be trivial,…. Applying the concept of dual rich quasi ‐ Banach spaces and results about Fredholm maps some results of the classical theory can be carried over. As an application we show in the continuation of this part how one can use these results for the investigation of the solution structure of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems in function Rpaces of Besov ‐ Triebel ‐ Lizorkin type.
Random Self‐Similar Multifractals
Authors: Arbeiter Matthias , Patzschke Norbert 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFor describing the local structure of a random self‐similar measure we use the multi‐fractal decomposition of its support into sets of points of different local dimension. Under the strong open set condition we compute the Hausdorff dimensions of these sets and the generalized dimensions of the random self‐similar measure. Furthermore, the tangential distribution of the random self‐similar measure is investigated.

(LF) ‐ Spaces and Tensor Products
Authors: Mangino Elisabetta M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFor a countable inductive limit of metrizable locally convex spaces, a condition (M) (in the sense of Retakh) by operators is introduced and the incidence of this property for the inter‐chageability of (LF)‐spaces and tensor products with a Banach space is discussed. Examples are given in the setting of weighted (LF)‐spaces of continuoua functions, Köthe (LF)‐sequence spaces, weighted (LB)‐spaces of holomorphic functiom on balanced domains.

Elliptic Interface Problems in Axisymmetric Domains. Part I: Singular Functions of Non ‐ Tensorial Type
Authors: Heinrich Bernd , Nicaise Serge , Weber Beate 
Published: July 2010

AbstractWe study the regularity of solutions of interface problems for the Poisson equation in axisynunetric domains. The Fourier decomposition of the 3D‐problem into a sequence of 2D‐variational equations end uniform (with respect to the sequence parameter) a prior; estimates of their solutions are derived. Some non‐tensorial singular functions describing the behaviour of the solution near interface edges are given and the smoothness of the stress intensity distribution as well as the tangential regularity are characterized in tenns of Sobolev spaces. In a forthcoming part II of this paper, the results will be applied to error estimates of the so‐called Fourier‐finite‐element method for solving approximately elliptic interface problems in 3D.
On the Distribution Behaviour of Sequences
Authors: Winkler Reinhard 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis paper presents results concerning those sets of finite Borel measures μ on a locally compact Hausdorff space X with countable topological base which can be represented as the set of limit distributions of some sequence. They arc characterized by being nonanpty, closed, connected and containing only measures μ with μ(X) = 1 (if X is compact) or 0 ≤ μ(X) ≤ 1 (if X is not compact). Any set with this properties can be obtained as the set of limit distributions of a sequence even by rearranging an arbitrarily given sequence which is dense in the sense that the set of accumulation points is the whole space X. The typical case (in the sense of Baire categories) is that a sequence takes as limit distributions all possible measures of this kind. This gives new aspects for the recent theory of maldistribukd sequences.

AbstractAmong nonmotor symptoms observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) dysfunction in the visual system, including hallucinations, has a significant impact in their quality of life. To further explore the visual system in PD patients we designed two fMRI experiments comparing 18 healthy volunteers with 16 PD patients without visual complaints in two visual fMRI paradigms: the flickering checkerboard task and a facial perception paradigm. PD patients displayed a decreased activity in the primary visual cortex (Broadmann area 17) bilaterally as compared to healthy volunteers during flickering checkerboard task and increased activity in fusiform gyrus (Broadmann area 37) during facial perception paradigm. Our findings confirm the notion that PD patients show significant changes in the visual cortex system even before the visual symptoms are clinically evident. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the contribution of these abnormalities to the development visual symptoms in PD. © 2010 Movement Disorders Society

AbstractIn 1974 21 specimens and in 1978 another 73 specimens of the Gobi agama (Agama stoliczkana altaica) have been removed from a population, inhabiting the Daschvanžel granitian rock outcrop in the region of the Bulgan river (most remote southwestern district of the Mongolian People's Republic) in order to establish a new population of this species under somewhat different climatical conditions to the north of the Mongolian Altai mountains near the Chovd city in the plains of the great Westmongolian lakes on a granitian massiv of the Ulan‐ul mountains. The ecological (including climatical) conditions of the dispenser and the new population as well as the method of collecting and transporting the lizards are described. All animals of the second portion (73 specimens) have been measured and weigthed (8 of them are retained for museal collection). Using this data the population structure (sex ratio, groups of different age) has been estimated (Abb. 1). In the future the new population will be controled by the Mongolian zoologists.

The Black Fly Breeding Sites in the Mongolian Part of the Selenge River Basin (Diptera: Simuliidae)
Authors: Jedlička Ladislav , Halgoš Jozef 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe breeding sites of black flies in the Selenge river basin were analysed by different clustering methods, reciprocal averaging and detrended correspondence analysis. Nine types of black fly breeding sites were established. The type of breeding sites is determined first by a complex of water environmental factors controlling the zonality of watercourses, second by the transzonal factor‐complex induced by geographical zones. The different types correspond to the crenal, rhithral and (epi)potamal in taiga, forest‐steppe and mountain steppe zones, respectively.
