Evidence for multiple structural genes for the γ chain of human fetal hemoglobin
A sequence with a specific residue at each position was proposed for the γ chain of human fetal hemoglobin by Schroeder et al. (1) after a study in which hemoglobin from a number of individual infants was used. We have now examined in part the fetal hemoglobin components of 17 additional infants and have observed that position 136 of the γ chain may be occupied not only by a glycyl residue, as previously reported, but also by an alanyl residue
Genotypic Effects on Condensed Tannins in the Leucaena Genus
One hundred and eighteen accessions of the Leucaena genus were assayed for extractable and bound condensed tannins (CT). Leucaena taxa varied from low or no CT (0-1%) to extremely high levels (\u3e15%). There was considerable intraspecific variation in CT within key taxa. The proportion of bound tannin decreased with increasing total CT content
Coulomb Blockade Regime of a Single-Wall Nanotube
A model of carbon nanotube at half filling is studied. The Coulomb
interaction is assumed to be unscreened. It is shown that this allows to
develop the adiabatic approximation which leads to considerable simplifications
in calculations of the excitation spectrum. We give a detailed analysis of the
spectrum and the phase diagram at half filling and discuss effects of small
doping. At small doping several phases develop strong superconducting
fluctuations corresponding to various types of pairing
One-dimensional spin-liquid without magnon excitations
It is shown that a sufficiently strong four-spin interaction in the spin-1/2
spin ladder can cause dimerization. Such interaction can be generated either by
phonons or (in the doped state) by the conventional Coulomb repulsion between
the holes. The dimerized phases are thermodynamically undistinguishable from
the Haldane phase, but have dramatically different correlation functions: the
dynamical magnetic susceptibility, instead of displaying a sharp single magnon
peak near , shows only a two-particle threshold separated from the
ground state by a gap.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, to be published in Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 78, May

The Tropical Grassland Society of Australia Incorporated
The Tropical Grassland Society of Australia was formed in 1962 and became incorporated in 1987 and has the following aims: To publicise information of interest to primary producers and scientists To improve the relevance of research and adoption of technology through the flow of ideas between scientists and producers To publicise the findings of Australian pasture research and development to overseas workers, and to draw on their experience for application in Australi
Superconductivity in a spin liquid - a one dimensional example
We study a one-dimensional model of interacting conduction electrons with a
two-fold degenerate band away from half filling. The interaction includes an
on-site Coulomb repulsion and Hund's rule coupling. We show that such
one-dimensional system has a divergent Cooper pair susceptibility at T = 0,
provided the Coulomb interaction between electrons on the same orbital and
the modulus of the Hund's exchange integral are larger than the
interorbital Coulomb interaction. It is remarkable that the superconductivity
can be achieved for {\it any} sign of . The opening of spectral gaps makes
this state stable with respect to direct electron hopping between the orbitals.
The scaling dimension of the superconducting order parameter is found to be
between 1/4 (small ) and 1/2 (large ).Comment: 11 pages, Latex, no figure
An Effective Theory for Midgap States in Doped Spin Ladder and Spin-Peierls Systems: Liouville Quantum Mechanics
In gapped spin ladder and spin-Peierls systems the introduction of disorder,
for example by doping, leads to the appearance of low energy midgap states. The
fact that these strongly correlated systems can be mapped onto one dimensional
noninteracting fermions provides a rare opportunity to explore systems which
have both strong interactions and disorder. In this paper we show that the
statistics of the zero energy midgap wave functions in these models can be
effectively described by Liouville Quantum Mechanics. This enables us to
calculate the disorder averaged N-point correlation functions of these states
(the explicit calculation is performed for N=2,3). We find that whilst these
midgap states are typically weakly correlated, their disorder averaged
correlation are power law. This discrepancy arises because the correlations are
not self-averaging and averages of the wave functions are dominated by
anomalously strongly correlated configurations.Comment: 13 page latex fil
Leucaena in Northern Australia: A Forage Tree Legume Success Story
Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) is a long-lived, perennial forage tree legume of very high nutritive value for ruminant production. In northern Australia, leucaena is direct seeded into hedgerows 5-10m apart, with grass species such as buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) planted in the inter-row to form a highly productive and sustainable grass-legume pasture that cattle graze directly. It generally is grown on deep, fertile soils in sub-humid environments with average rainfall of 600-800mm/year. Steer gains of 275-300kg/head per year are achieved, with short-term daily gains over the main growing season \u3e 1kg/head. Being very deep-rooted, leucaena exploits moisture beyond the reach of grasses and remains productive well into the dry season. Once established, leucaena-grass pastures remain productive for \u3e 40 years
