High-resolution spectra of the C2 Swan system's 0-0 band from Comet P/Halley in March 1986 show that the populations of the upper state's rotational levels may be described by two rotational temperatures. The low rotational levels provide a low temperature, Trot = about 600 - 700 K. The higher levels correspond to about 3200 K. If a contribution from the 3200-K molecules is subtracted from the populations of the low-J-prime levels, the latter are characterized by Trot = about 190 K. A comparison with recent predictions for C2 molecules fluorescing in sunlight shows that the observed and predicted level populations are in good agreement for J-prime greater than about 15, but there is a sharp disagreement for the low rotational levels.

Predicting the transverse volume distribution under an agricultural spray boom

The volume distribution of spray below individual agricultural flat-fan spray nozzles was fitted to a truncated normal distribution. This expresses the parameters as a function of the spray liquid pressure, the boom height and the nozzle orifice size. This model was used to predict the transverse distribution below an agricultural spray boom. [less ▲]

Further direct observations of the light echoes from SN 1987 A were obtained on November 12 1988 with the 3.6-m telescope and EFOSC at ESO. In agreement with predictions made from earlier observations, the radii of the two light rings are measured to be 43.3 and 72.5 arcsec. However, a noticeable diaplacement of the center of the outer ring by 2.6 arcsec to the NE from the SN position is also reported. Application of the model of planar-like sheets of material located between the SN and the observer leads to improved results. [less ▲]

Automated quantification of creatinine kinase MB isoenzyme in serum by radial partition immunoassay, with use of the Stratus analyzer

We evaluated the analytical and clinical performances of a new radial partition immunoassay for measuring the mass concentration of creatine kinase (CK)-MB in serum. All pipetting, washes, incubations and data reduction were performed in 8 min by the Stratus (Dade) fluorometric analyzer. Within-assay and between-assay CVs were respectively 5.5% and 8.4% at 21 micrograms/L, and 4.2% and 3.4% at 48 micrograms/L. Assaying serial dilutions of serum samples with high CK-MB concentrations demonstrated excellent linearity. Results of the Stratus technique correlated well (n = 115, r = 0.98) with those of the Tandem-E CKMB II assay. There was no interference from hemolysis, bilirubin, rheumatoid factor, or added CK-MM (up to 3500 U/L); consequently, CK-MB can be determined in undiluted serum, even in the presence of high total CK activity. The mean CK-MB concentration in 105 blood donors was 1.9 (SD 1.3) micrograms/L. For seven myocardial infarction patients who received prompt fibrinolytic therapy, the mean CK-MB concentration was 4.5 (SD 1.8) micrograms/L at admission, and maximum concentrations, 119 (SD 94) micrograms/L, were recorded 16 h later. CK-MB returned to concentrations less than 10 micrograms/L within 72 h. [less ▲]
