This paper compares the results of 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Al-K-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) of natural imogolite and allophanes and some crystalline reference minerals. All soil allophanes studied contain 4-coordinated Al (AlIV). The highest relative proportion of AlIV, 21% of the total Al, was found in Si-rich allophane. This value is close to that found in spring allophanes, which were previously considered to be different from soil allophanes. For a quantitative determination of the AlIV/Altotal ratio, NMR is more reliable than XANES, because of the sensitivity of the chemical shift to low AlIV concentrations, but XANES may be used even if paramagnetic impurities (mostly Fe) are present. Al-K XANES also yields more information than NMR on the local environment of AlVI and especially site multiplicity. AlVI XANES of imogolite and allophanes are similar regardless of the Al/Si ratio. They yield two well-resolved resonances with maxima near 1568 and 1570 eV, which indicates the presence of a unique AlVI site by comparison with crystalline references. The presence of only one AlVI site indicates that imogolite and allophanes have an octahedral sheet with a structure similar to 2/1 dioctahedral phyllosilicates but different from gibbsite or kaolinite, previously considered as structural analogues. The 27AlIV MAS NMR peak maxima of allophanes are between 58.6 and 59.8 ppm, in the range observed for crystalline and amorphous framework alumino-silicates, and less positive than those of sheet silicates, which are typically in the range 65–75 ppm. 27Al-H1 CPMAS NMR spectra suggest that both AlIV and AlVI have Al-O-H linkages.

Objective:
To evauluate our novel ultrasound model for measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and determine the intra- and inter-operator variability associated with this technique.
Methods:We conducted ten measurements of ONSD per model amongst eight different models with a single experienced operator to examine intra-operator variability. Similarly, we had seven different operators measure the OSND twice in eight different models, in order to determine inter-operator variability analyzed with a three level linear statistical model.
Results:For intra-operator variability, the intra-cluster correlation coefficients for the experienced and novice operators were 0.643 and 0.453 respectively. This displayed improvement in intra-operator variability with experience. The inter-cluster correlation coefficient was 0 for the group of novice operators, indicating negligible difference amongst multiple operators in measuring any given model of ONSD. A strong, statistically significant, linear relationship between the actual model disc size and the ultrasound ONSD measures was identified, implying the reliability of the images produced by our novel model.
Conclusions:Utilizing a novel model for ONSD ultrasonography, we have determined the intraoperator reliability of ONSD measurement to be moderate, with no appreciable difference amongst multiple operators. Improvement in measurement reliability has been demonstrated between expert and novice operators with our model, indicating the potential benefit of simulation platforms for teaching the technique of ONSD ultrasound.

Summary
ABSTRACT
An unprecedented total of 190 holo-epiphytic and five hemi-epiphytic vascular plant species were collected from the canopy and the trunk of a single strangler fig (Ficus crassiuscula) in a Peruvian montane cloud forest. A large majority of the vascular species were rare in occurrence, suggesting a high proportion of patchily distributed species within the cloud forest. One hundred and fourteen of the vascular epiphyte species were orchids, 37 species were ferns, and 17 species were bromeliads. Seventy-three of the orchid species belonged to the Pleurothallidinae. Perú is one of the global strongholds of remaining unmodified tropical montane cloud forest. However, cloud forest studies on any topic emanating from Perú are relatively rare. The outstanding epiphyte species richness of a single tree highlights both the importance of cloud forests for global biodiversity, and the urgency for more research and conservation initiatives within the cloud forests of Perú.
INTRODUCTION
Peruvian montane cloud forests are one of the global strongholds of remaining unmodified tropical montane cloud forest (Mulligan, this volume). However, they have received comparatively little scientific attention until now (e.g. Frahm, 1987: Leo, 1995; Weng et al. 2004; Gomez-Peralta et al., 2008) and are under increasing threat of deforestation (Young and León, 1995; Mulligan, this volume). The extinction rate of plant species through cloud forest removal in Perú is unknown because most cloud forests have not been botanically prospected (Honorio and Reynel, 2004). Epiphyte flora makes up a large component of plant diversity in Andean forests (Gentry and Dodson, 1987a; Kelly et al., 1994; Bussmann, 2001; Nieder et al., 2001, cf. Gradstein et al., this volume; Krömer and Gradstein, this volume).

The effects of trampling on six types of vegetation and their underlying soils were investigated on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. One hundred and fifty foot-passes per year for at least the past 10 years have occurred on a typical 6-km stretch of walking track on the island's upland plateau. Trampling favours vascular plants including exotics, especially Poa annua, while bryophytes and lichens are more common in undisturbed vegetation. The abundance of 19 of the 39 most common species appears to be affected by trampling. Track width is positively correlated with exposure and wet soils, and trampling increases the soil bulk density of the track. The contrast between the soil bulk density of the trampled and untrampled soils increases with increasing exposure. While present environmental damage is within an acceptable range over the majority of the island, the extreme environments are likely to suffer unacceptable levels of damage if increased usage occurs with more tourism or expansion of scientific and related activities. This is demonstrated by the diversion of a short section of plateau track in an atypically heavily used area; the diversion sustained substantial damage after 890 foot-passes during a 15-month period.

Summary
The initiation of the DENIS and 2MASS surveys are resulting in the discoveries of dozens of field brown dwarf candidates, and the need to develop a new spectral class of L dwarfs. The L dwarfs are perhaps only a few hundred degrees cooler than the latest M dwarfs (M9–9.5 V), and are many hundreds of degrees warmer than the brown dwarf Gliese 229B. However, the formation of dust removes TiO and VO from the atmospheres, resulting in qualitatively different red spectra, with for example a strong, pressure-broadened K I resonance doublet. In contrast, the infrared spectra show the same (H2O and CO) molecular features as in late M dwarfs, with no evidence of methane. The detection of the Li I 6707 Å resonance doublet shows that many L dwarfs, at least, have substellar masses. Based on analysis of point sources from the first 1% of sky, well over 1,000 L dwarfs should be detected in the 2MASS survey. Our results suggest that several might exist within 5 pc of the Sun.
Introduction
After waiting three decades since Kumar (1963) proposed their existence, we are gratified to see literally dozens of candidates probably or definitely below the stellar mass limit being found in young clusters and associations. Here one has the big advantages that the age, the distance and luminosity of a cluster member are generally known. In this presentation, complementary to the topic of this meeting, we report the finding of a large number of candidates in one of the first infrared surveys of the field population.

Surface processing of microelectronic materials by bombardment with nanoparticles of condensed gases (i.e., clusters) in the form of an ion beam, makes possible etching and smoothing of those surfaces to very high figures of merit. As this is not possible with any conventional ion method, gas-cluster ion-beam systems have great potential in manufacturing. The formation of gas clusters and their collision with surfaces provides an interesting arena for novel physics and surface science. This paper outlines a physical model for the clusters and surface interactions, and provides examples of surface processing. In particular, the reduction of surface roughness while etching by cluster-ion bombardment is illustrated for various materials utilized in microelectronics.

Local structures of high surface area sodium titanate materials have been examined as a function of pH using solid state 17O nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Using 17O NMR, it is possible to determine the relative populations of nonbridging oxygens as well as oxygens bridging between two, three, and four titanium atoms. Results show that protonation of ion exchange sites in titanate materials is not a simple ion exchange process but involves a repolymerization and restructuring of the titanate network. The observed structural changes are consistent with reported phase stabilities of titanates in water as well as with known hydrolysis and condensation reactions.
