Background
Impaired neuropsychological functioning is a feature of major depression. Previous studies have suggested that at least some aspects of neuropsychological functioning improve with successful treatment of major depression. The extent to which medications may affect the degree of normalization of these functions is unclear. The aim of the current study was to examine the course of neuropsychological functioning during treatment of major depression with cognitive–behaviour therapy (CBT) or schema therapy (ST).
MethodA total of 69 out-patients with a primary diagnosis of major depression and 58 healthy controls completed mood ratings, neuropsychological measures, and measures of emotional processing at baseline and after 16 weeks. Participants were randomized after baseline assessment to a year-long course of CBT or ST. Patients reassessed at 16 weeks were medication-free throughout the study.
ResultsSignificant neuropsychological impairment was evident at baseline in depressed participants compared with healthy controls. After 16 weeks of psychotherapy, mean depression rating scores fell more than 50%. However, no neuropsychological measures showed convincing evidence of significant improvement and emotional processing did not change.
ConclusionsPersisting impairment in neuropsychological functioning after the first 16 weeks of CBT or ST suggests a need to modify psychological treatments to include components targeting cognitive functioning.

An experiment to measure the variation in the phenological and apical development ofwinter wheat (cv. Avalon) in England and Scotland is described. Ten sites which ranged from Aberdeen (57·2° N), the most northerly, to Newton Abbot (50·6° N), the most southerly, were included in the survey, and at each site seed was hand-sown in mid-September, October and November 1983. Developmental stages and sampling procedures were precisely defined to ensure uniformity in scoring by the observers at each site. Temperatures during the growing season were in line with the long-term means, though spring was cooler at all sites and summer warmer at most. The range of monthly-mean temperatures between sites was about the same as the difference between consecutive months. The method of analysis of development rates and durations was in terms of thermal time, modified by sensitivity to photoperiod and a vernalization requirement that slowed early development until a number of days of low temperatures had been experienced. In general, crops at northern sites developed more slowly than those in the south and particularly the south-west of England. There was less variation in the timing of apical stages for later sowings. Developmental rates responded linearly to temperature and photoperiod, with the base temperature increasing for later phases of development. The effect of photoperiod in modifying the rate of development was apparent for all developmental phases from emergence to anthesis, longer days accelerating development, but there was no effect on the duration of the grain-filling period. Vernalization exerted its effect solely within the phase from emergence to double ridge, and had a major influence on the variation between sites only for the first sowing.

The initiation of leaf and spikelet primordia was studied at sites ranging in latitude from Newton Abbot (50·6°N) to Aberdeen (57·2°N) in crops sown in the middle of September, October and November 1983. The rate of primordium initiation tended to decrease from south to north but there were also marked differences between quite close sites.
The rate of leaf initiation increased with temperature but photoperiod had little effect; the rate of spikelet initiation was affected both by temperature and by photoperiod. There were differences in the total number of leaves initiated which were only partlyexplained by differences in vernalization.
Expressing leaf and spikelet initiation rates in terms of thermal and photo-thermal time respectively showed a constant rate of leaf initiation and a constant and more rapid rate of spikelet initiation.

A major problem in establishing effective protocols for conserving Madagascar's biodiversity is the lack of reliable information for the identification of priority sites in need of protection. Analyses of field data and information from herbarium collections for members of the plant family Pandanaceae (85 spp. of Pandanus; 6 spp. of Martellidendron) showed how risk of extinction assessments can inform conservation planning. Application of IUCN Red List categories and criteria showed that 91% of the species are threatened. Mapping occurrence revealed centres of richness and rarity as well as gaps in Madagascar's existing protected area network. Protection of 10 additional sites would be required to encompass the 19 species currently lacking representation in the reserve network, within which east coast littoral forests are particularly under represented and important. The effect of scale on assessments of risk of extinction was explored by applying different grid cell sizes to estimate area of occupancy. Using a grid cell size within the range suggested by IUCN overestimates threatened status if based solely upon specimen data. For poorly inventoried countries such as Madagascar measures of range size based on such data should be complemented with field observations to determine population size, sensitivity to disturbance, and specific threats to habitat and therefore potential population decline. The analysis of such data can make an important contribution to the conservation planning process by identifying threatened species and revealing the highest priority sites for their conservation.

Zr-based alloy ingots with nominal compositions of Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0 (at.%), Vitre-loy 105, were isothermally annealed below the glass-transition temperature at 630 K for 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 minutes in vacuum to obtain samples with various states of structural relaxation and compared to the as-cast state. Structural studies were performed using time-of-flight neutron diffraction followed by pair distribution function (PDF) analyses. Differential scanning calo-rimetry (DSC) was conducted to examine changes in the specific heat, which were correlated to the amount of structural relaxation in the various samples. These samples exhibited increasing structural relaxation with longer annealing times, which was evidenced in the atomic PDF. Relaxation related to the exothermic peak results in changes in the PDF that are consistent with the elimination of short and long inter-atomic distances. Further annealing led to rearrangements in the second atomic shell that may be related to local phase separation.

A comparative study of Pt and Pt/Si contacts to p-type 6H-SiC in terms of various processing conditions and interlayer specifications was performed. Deposition temperature, the thickness of the Si layer, and B-dopant incorporation in the Si were found to significantly affect the specific contact resistivity (SCR) values. In addition, pre-etching of the SiC surface in SF6 + Ar was found to consistently reduce the SCR's. The lowest average SCR values were 3 × 10−5 Ωcm2 for Pt/Si/SiC contacts deposited on pre-etched SiC surfaces (7.0 × 1018 cm−3 doping concentration) and annealed at 1100 °C for 5 min.
Aluminum-titanium contacts also showed dependence on the thicknesses of the Al and Ti layers and on the locations of the layers. Differences in both the SCRs and surface morphology are presented.

Current molecular biological approaches were developed primarily for characterization of single genes, not entire genomes, and, as such, are not ideally suited to analysis of complex traits and population-based molecular genetics. Despite rapid progress in the human genome project effort, there is little doubt that radically new conceptual approaches are needed before routine whole genome-based analyses can be undertaken by both basic research and clinical laboratories.
Physical mapping of genomes, using restriction endonucleases, has played a major role in the identification and characterizing various loci, for example, by aiding clone contig formation and by characterizing genetic lesions. Restriction maps provide precise genomic distances, unlike ordered sequence-based landmarks such as Sequence Tagged Sites (STSs), that are essential for optimizing the efficiency of sequencing efforts, and for determining the spatial relationships of specific loci. When compared to tedious hybridization-based fingerprinting approaches, ordered restriction maps offer relatively unambiguous clone characterization that is useful in contig formation, establishment of minimal tiling paths for sequencing, and preliminary characterization of sequence lesions.

The behavior of AgReO4 under pressure has been studied in a diamond anvil cell. The equation of state determined by synchrotron radiation shows considerable change in compressibility with increasing pressure. X-ray and Raman scattering show a first-order phase transition from the scheelite to an as yet undetermined structure at 13 GPa. Changes in both the internal and external Raman active modes suggest a change in Re coordination. Optical transmission experiments demonstrate that the energy gap in the scheelitephase decreases at the rate of 75 meV/GPa. There is a small jump in the energy gap at 13 GPa, probably related to the structural transition. AgReO4 remains aninsulator to at least 47 GPa.

Alloys of Al75-xFexTi25, where x = 0 to 12 at. % Fe, were fabricated by splat cooling and examined primarily with X-ray diffraction to determine the crystallographic phases present, their composition, volume fraction, lattice parameters, and sublattice occupation. The tetragonal DO22 structure of Al3Ti dissolved 0.8 ± 0.4 at. % Fe, with additional iron partitioned to the Ll2 structure containing 6.2 ± 0.4 at. % Fe, and completed the transformation to the Ll2 structure with the addition of about 6 at. % Fe. The lattice parameters of both phases were independent of iron concentration up to about 6 at. %. At 8 at. % Fe, the iron was found to be predominantly distributed on the nominal aluminum sublattice which also contained about 5 at. % Ti. The Al3 Ti composition was similarly found to contain about 5 at. % Ti on the aluminum sublattice. All compositions, including a single crystal of Al67Fe8 Ti25, were found to be brittle.

Optical data over a broad energy range (∼ 0.01 eV to ∼ 6 eV) for a series of La2−xSrxCuO4-δ compounds are obtained in parallel with the Meissner effect and the superconductivity transition temperature, Tc. Two noteworthy trends in the optical spectra are observed as the Sr concentration is increased in small steps from x = 0 to x = 0.3. First is the appearance of a low frequency band in the reflectivity, R, whose strength follows closely the Meissner effect and Tc measured on the same set of samples. The position of the onset of this band is pinned at ∼0.9 eV for all values of x. The origin of this band in R is identified as an absorption process due to an electronic transition with a large oscillator strength. Second is the appearance and disappearance of an intense vibrational mode whose strength also tracks “superconductivity”. This sharp structure in the far infrared is a characteristic vibrational mode associated with the dopant induced electronic state.

A comparison was made of the effects of direct and of indirect ultra-high-temperature (UHT) processing of milk, under standardized operating conditions giving equal sporicidal effects, on some of the more labile water-soluble vitamins and on vitamin A and carotene. The effects of processing per se were negligibly small, and the method of processing was important only in so far as the presence of residual oxygen in the sterilized milk has been found to cause losses of folic acid and ascorbic acid during storage subsequent to sterilization. The incorporation of a de-aerator vessel, to reduce the oxygen level in the indirectly heated milk and so eliminate the adverse effects of oxygen during storage, had no effect on the vitamin loss occurring during heat treatment. It is concluded that milk produced by indirect heating plant incorporating a de-aerator should be similar in vitamin content to milk produced on a direct heating plant, both immediately after processing and after storage.

1. Pigs were weaned from the sow at 2 d of age and reared on a diet of cow's milk supplemented with vitamin D, and antibiotics. The effects of four levels and two frequencies of feeding, and the temperature of the environment were studied in relation to the performance of the pigs and the digestion of the milk protein. Pigs fed at the two lower levels receivedadiet of cow's milk, but at the two higher levels cow's milk was spray-dried and reconstituted to 20% total solids. A comparison was also made between cow's milk and spray-dried reconstituted milk, both fed hourly with 12.5% total solids. The pigs were slaughtered at 28 d of age.
2. No differences in the nutritive value or digestion of the milk protein were found when cow's milk and reconstituted milk were fed with a total solids content of 12.5 yo.
3. Increasing the level of feeding resulted in a faster growth rate, and some deterioration in the feed conversion efficiency. The growth rate of the pigs from 2to 28 d of age when fed at a high level greatly exceeded that of sucking pigs reared on the sow. The retention of the dietary nitrogen also improved with increased feed intake. A highly significant inverse linear correlation of N retention with age was found at all levels of feeding. The milk protein was efficiently digested at all levels of feeding.
4. The mortality rate was very low but there appeared to be some association of losses with a high level of feeding during the first few days of life.
5. Feeding hourly compared with feeding twice daily improved the feed conversion efficiency, although the effect on growth rate and N retention was small. The retention of digesta in the stomach appeared to be an important factor in the regulation of the amount of digesta in the small intestine and in the maintenance of digestive efficiency. The stomachs of pigs fed twice daily contained considerably greater amounts of digesta than those of pigs fed at hourly intervals. There was little difference in the amount and composition of digesta in the small intestine and caecum at either frequency of feeding.
6. No differences were found in the performance of the pigs, N retention or the efficiency of digestion of the milk protein when the environmental temperature was maintained either at zoo throughout the experiment, or at 30' gradually reducing to zoo during the first 14d.

In a previous paper it was reported that there was no difference in the oxidation of ascorbic acid by homogenates from control and N–(3,4–dichlorophenyl)methacrylamide (referred to in this paper as DCMA) treated corn tissues until 3 to 4 days after treatment. At this time, there was a sudden increase in the oxidation of ascorbate by homogenates from treated tissue. The rate of oxidation continued to rise throughout the testing period (0 to 8 days after treatment). Since this appeared to be a significant finding, it was decided the reaction should be pursued further.

Porter, et al. reported promising results for the use of N–(3,4–dichlorophenyl)methacrylamide (referred to in this paper as (DCMA) as a potential post-emergence herbicide for cotton. These workers found when sprays of DCMA were semi-directed under cotyledons of young cotton, satisfactory weed control could be obtained with little injury to the cotton.
