A vocational interest scale for biologists.

A Biologist scale for the SVIB (Form M) was developed following procedures outlined by E. K. Strong, Jr. 4 groups were employed: (a) criterion (N = 251) systematically selected from Volume 2 of American Men of Science, (b) cross-validation (N = 89) selected at an American Institute of Biological Science convention, (c) 2 concurrent validation groups (Ns = 121, 306) selected from the Pennsylvania State University student body. Results indicated that the scale differentiated the interests of: (a) the biologists from Strong's men-in-general group (P1), (b) the biologists from the interests measured by 36 other SVIB scales, (c) the concurrent validation groups in the expected direction. Reliabilities of .88 (criterion) and .87 (cross-validation) were obtained. It was concluded that the scale has sufficient validity and reliability to be a useful counseling device.

Preparation and Structure of Mg2-xRExNi （RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Y） Ternary Alloys

A series of Mg2-xNdxNi (x =0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys and Mg1.95RE0.05Ni (RE= La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Y)ternary alloys were prepared by ball milling of mixted powder of Mg, Ni, RE and sintering under the protection of argon. XRD analysis shows that Mg2-xNdxNi (x = 0.05, 0.1 ) and Mg1.95RE0.05Ni consist of single phase with the same crystal structure as Mg2Ni. While three-phase alloys including Mg2Ni, NdNi and NdMgNi4 were formed in Mg1.8Nd0.2Ni and Mg1.7Nd0.3Ni alloys respectively. The lattice constants of Mg2Ni in those ternary alloys were calculated. The decomposition of Mg2Ni occurs in the milling process of Mg2Ni and Mg1.95RE0.05Ni alloys respectively. For the latter, another earlier reaction occurs in milling process, which means that atoms of RE are separated from crystal structure of Mg2Ni and form relevant oxides by combination with oxygen existed in argon atmosphere.

Amphiphilic poly(Ala)-b-poly(Sar) microspheres loaded with hydrophobic drug

Amphiphilic block polypeptides, (Ala)m(Sar)n, were synthesized. Transmission electron microscopy showed that three kinds of block polypeptides, (Ala)42(Sar)21, (Ala)34(Sar)22, and (Ala)34(Sar)27, formed spherical aggregates in water. Dynamic light scattering measurement revealed that the average diameters of (Ala)42(Sar)21 and (Ala)34(Sar)22 aggregates were in the range of 80-90 nm, whilst that of (Ala)34(Sar)27 was about 30 nm. The polypeptides in aqueous solution took a beta-sheet structure, while they took an alpha-helical conformation in trifluoroethanol. These polypeptide aggregates took up 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS), and the capacity of the aggregates for ANS decreased in the order of (Ala)42(Sar)21 > (Ala)34(Sar)22 > (Ala)34(Sar)27. Sumithion, which is a commercial agricultural insecticide, was also taken up by the polypeptide aggregates. When increasing amounts of Sumithion were introduced, (Ala)42(Sar)21 aggregates kept their shape, but (Ala)34(Sar)27 aggregate increased in size. These different behaviors of the polypeptide aggregates were discussed in terms of different structure of aggregates.     

Improvement of microstructure and coercivity for Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets by boundary introducing low melting point alloys

Different from the grain boundary diffusion process(GBDP),which is suitable for modifying thin magnet,a green-pressing agents permeation process(GAPP) that uses low melting point alloys was applied to the Nd-Fe-B green compact with a thickness over 15 mm to reconstruct the boundary microstructure of a sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet.The coercivity increases from 12.3 kOe for the sample free of Pr_(80)Al_(20) to16.8 kOe for the sample with 2 wt% Pr_(80)Al_(20).By further increasing the Pr_(80)Al_(20) content to 3 wt%,the coercivity increases slightly,but the remanence and H_k/H_(cj) deteriorate obviously.The optimal comprehensive properties of H_(cj)=16.8 kOe,B_r=13.4 kG and H_k/H_(cj)=0.975 are obtained at 2 wt% Pr_(80)Al_(20),since matrix phase grains are separated by relatively continuous thin grain boundary layers,which weaken the magnetic coupling between adjacent grains.The coercivities of the samples from the GAPP that use2 wt% Pr_(80)Al_(20),Pr_(70)Al_(30) and Pr_(60)Tb_(20)Al_(20) alloys,respectively,can be enhanced to a large extent.However,the coercivity of the magnet reconstructed with Pr_(80)Al_(20) is lower than that of the sample with Pr_(60)Tb_(20)Al_(20) but is higher than that of the sample reconstructed with Pr_(70)Cu_(30) alloy.Moreover,the coercivity of the sample from the GAPP using 2 wt% Pr_(80)Al_(20) is much higher than that of the sample from the GBDP,which is due to a nearly uniform boundary microstructure from the surface to the interior of the thick magnet from the GAPP,thus providing new insights into the fabrication of thick and bulky permanent magnets with high coercivity.

Enhanced maximum energy product of(Sm_(1-y)Y_y)_2Fe_(17)N_x caused by abundant yttrium doping

Replacement of samarium(Sm) with abundant yttrium(Y) can help solve the potential shortage of Sm in the preparation of promising Sm_2 Fe_(1)7 N_x magnets.In this article,phase composition,microstructure and magnetic properties of(Sm_(1-y)Yy)_2 Fe_(17)N_x(y=0,0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1.0) were investigated.Maximum energy product(BH)_(max) is improved when less than 40 at% Y is doped in(Sm_(1-y)Y_y)_2 Fe_(17)N_x powder.In particular,when 20 at% Y replaces Sm,(BH)_(max) of(Sm_(1-y)Y_y)_2 Fe_(17)N_x powder increases by 15.1% from 131.7 to151.6 kJ/m~3.The effect of annealing temperature on the structural properties of high Y doping(Sm_(0.6)Y_(0.4))_2 Fe_(17) and the magnetic properties of the corresponding nitrides were subsequently investigated.In the RE_2 Fe_(17) phase grain combination process,the interlaced structure of the rhombohedral Th_2 Zn_(17)-type structural phase and the hexagonal Th_2 Ni_(17)-type structural phase is formed.Due to shortrange exchange coupling,the nitride with the highest content of two interlaced RE_2 Fe_(1)7 phases has the highest magnetic properties:B_r=1.23 T,H_(cJ)=443.9 kA/m and(BH)_(max)=197.6 kJ/m~3.     

Conceptualizing and Measuring Personality Vulnerability to Depression: Comment on Coyne and Whiffen (1995).

J. C. Coyne and V. E. Whiffen (1995) reviewed research on personality vulnerability to depression, focusing on S. J. Blatt's (1974, 1990) concepts of dependency and self-criticism and A. T. Beck's (1983) concepts of sociotropy and autonomy. The authors discuss 6 issues raised in that review: (a) the typological or dimensional nature of vulnerability, (b) the theoretical implications of "mixed" vulnerability, (c) the relations of vulnerability to Neuroticism. (d) the potential confounding of vulnerability with concurrent depression, (e) the potential confounding of vulnerability with social context, and (f) the differentiation of dependency from relatedness. The authors conclude that Blatt's and Beck's concepts are continuous, nearly orthogonal dimensions that can be identified and measured independently from Neuroticism, depression, and social context.

The role of dorsal hippocampus and basolateral amygdala NMDA receptors in the acquisition and retrieval of context and contextual fear memories.

The authors used 3-phase context preexposure facilitation methodology to study the contribution of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in dorsal hippocampus (DH) and the basal lateral region of the amygdala (BLA) to (a) acquisition of the context memory, (b) retrieval of the context memory, (c) acquisition of context-shock association, and (d) retrieval of the context-shock association. The NMDA receptor antagonist D-2-amino-5 phosphonopentanoic acid (D-AP5) was injected into either the DH or BLA prior to (a) the context preexposure phase, (b) the immediate shock phase, or (c) the test for contextual fear. Antagonizing NMDA receptors in the DH impaired the acquisition of the context memory but did not affect its retrieval or retrieval of the fear memory. Antagonizing NMDA receptors with D-AP5 in the BLA impaired acquisition of the context-shock association but had no effect on the expression of fear. However, both DL-AP5 and L-AP5 reduced the expression of fear when they were injected into the amygdala prior to testing for contextual fear.
