Microcantilever Studies of Angular Field Dependence of Vortex Dynamics in BSCCO
Using a nanogram-sized single crystal of BSCCO attached to a microcantilever
we demonstrate in a direct way that in magnetic fields nearly parallel to the
{\it ab} plane the magnetic field penetrates the sample in the form of
Josephson vortices rather than in the form of a tilted vortex lattice. We
further investigate the relation between the Josephson vortices and the pancake
vortices generated by the perpendicular field component.Comment: 5 pages, 8 figure
1-(6-Chloro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)hydrazine
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C7H6ClN3S, consists of two crystallographically independent molecules (A and B). The dihedral angle between the benzothiazole ring system and the hydrazine group is 8.71 (6)° in molecule A and 7.16 (6)° in molecule B. The N—N—C—N and N—N—C—S torsion angles involving the hydrazine group are 170.89 (9) and −9.96 (13)°, respectively, in molecule A and 172.50 (9) and −7.43 (13)°, respectively, in molecule B. In the crystal, neighbouring molecules are connected via pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating R
2
2(8) ring motifs, and are connected further by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into sheets lying parallel to the ab plane. The crystal studied was an inversion twin, the refined ratio of the twin components being 0.50 (3):0.50 (3)

Vortex Matter Transition in BiSrCaCuO under Tilted Fields
Vortex phase diagram under tilted fields from the axis in
BiSrCaCuO is studied by local magnetization
hysteresis measurements using Hall probes. When the field is applied at large
angles from the axis, an anomaly () other than the well-known
peak effect () are found at fields below . The angular dependence of
the field is nonmonotonic and clearly different from that of
and depends on the oxygen content of the crystal. The results suggest existence
of a vortex matter transition under tilted fields. Possible mechanisms of the
transition are discussed.Comment: Revtex, 4 pages, some corrections are adde
Melamin toxicity in pigs
Three farms in Penang, Malaysia, reported illness in grower-finisher pigs with discarded kidneys from abattoir. Affected animals were inappetant, anorexic, thin, dull, and depressed. The episode was closely related with the feed formulation changes, where soybean and fishmeal were replaced with yeast. No significant mycotoxin levels were detected in both the feed and yeasts. However, high levels of melamine were detected in yeast (30,064 ppm) and finished feed (750 to 1500 ppm), which exceeded the acceptance level set by WHO (<2.5 ppm). Nonetheless, prominent gross abnormalities were detected, except for the lesions in the kidneys during necropsy. The affected kidneys were enlarged and yellowish in colour, firm in consistency and the cortical surface was wrinkled and dimpled. Dilated cortical and medullary lesions with yellow gritty crystalline materials were also observed. A microscopic examination revealed the lesions of acute tubular nephrosis, interstitial nephritis with multiple cysts in the kidney cortex. After the removal of the yeast source in the feed, the illness and kidney lesions were in remission
[2,6-Bis(biphenyl-4-yl)-4-hydroxy-4-(pyridin-2-yl)cyclohexane-1,3-diyl]bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methanone]–butan-2-one (1/1)
In the title solvate, C47H37N3O3·C4H8O, the cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation and the plane through its near coplanar atoms forms dihedral angles of 82.58 (7), 89.27 (7), 60.30 (8), 54.54 (7) and 72.03 (7)°, respectively, with the three pyridine rings and the two attached benzene rings. The rings of the biphenyl units are twisted from each other, making dihedral angles of 35.27 (7) and 45.41 (7)°. All the rings are in equatorial orientations in the cyclohexane ring, except for the C=O-bonded pyridine ring in position 1, which is axial. Intramolecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form one S(5) and three S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a chain along the c axis. The crystal structure also features weak C—H⋯π interactions and aromatic π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5856 (10) and 3.7090 (9) Å]

High Aspect Pattern Formation by Integration of Micro Inkjetting and Electroless Plating
This paper reports on formation of high aspect micro patterns on low
temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates by integrating micro inkjetting
with electroless plating. Micro inkjetting was realized by using an inkjetting
printer that ejects ink droplets from a printhead. This printhead consists of a
glass nozzle with a diameter of 50 micrometers and a piezoelectric transducer
that is coated on the nozzle. The silver colloidal solution was inkjetted on a
sintered CT800 ceramic substrate, followed by curing at 200 degrees C for 60
minutes. As a result, the silver trace with a thickness of 200 nm was obtained.
The substrate, with the ejected silver thin film as the seed layer, was then
immersed into a preinitiator solution to coat a layer of palladium for
enhancing the deposition of nickel. Electroless nickel plating was successfully
conducted at a rate of 0.39 micrometers /min, and the thickness of traces was
plated up to 84 micrometers. This study demonstrates that the integration of
inkjetting with plating is an effective method to form high aspect patterns at
the demand location.Comment: Submitted on behalf of EDA Publishing Association
