Non-breeding cluster populations of Danaus plexippus (Danaidae) were monitored at five sites in the Sydney area of New South Wales for 5 years. Meteorological records showed that cluster formation was always preceded by periods of cool overcast weather, during which maximum temperatures remained below 18�C for at least 2 days. Field experiments were carried out to test the hypothesis that low post-eclosion temperatures cause reproductive dormancy in Australian D. plexippus. Butterflies were reared in the laboratory and on eclosion exposed to selected temperatures and photophases for 2-4 days before being tagged and released. Recapture data showed that high post-eclosion temperatures (19 or 28�C) inhibited long-distance flight and resulted in ovarian development, but low temperatures (15:6�C, 7:17 h) inhibited ovarian development and permitted long-distance flight. Intermediate temperatures (e.g. 15�C or 12�3�C continuously) gave mixed results. Photoperiod during or before the period of exposure to low temperature did not affect reproduction. The induction, maintenance and termination of reproductive dormancy in Australian D. plexippus are discussed.

The present study compares different post-embedding staining methods, including conventional and low-temperature embedding techniques, for demonstration of the keratin and vimentin cytoskeleton of epidermal cells, applying commercially available polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Immunogold staining (5-nm particles) was performed on the following material: (a) osmium-fixed and Durcupan-embedded material, etched with various solutions; (b) aldehyde-fixed material embedded in Lowicryl K4M at 4 degrees C and -35 degrees C; (c) aldehyde-fixed material embedded in Lowicryl K11M at -60 degrees C with and without cryoprotection with glycerol. In conventionally embedded material we failed to demonstrate intermediate filaments, whereas they were stained after low-temperature embedding with Lowicryl, i.e., K4M 4 degrees C, K4M -35 degrees C, and K11M -60 degrees C. The keratin and vimentin cytoskeleton reacted exclusively with polyclonal antibodies. The best results for antigenicity as well as structural preservation were achieved by post-embedding staining of K4M -35 degrees C-embedded material. Antibodies to keratin stained the cytoskeleton in keratinocytes of all epidermal layers. Filaments were decorated in a linear alignment. Antibodies to vimentin stained the cytoskeleton of Langerhans cells and melanocytes. In these cells a linear distribution pattern of the reaction product along the filaments and an extrafilamentous cluster formation were observed, indicating staining of vimentin and a vimentin-associated protein.

Chlorinated silicon precursor SiCl4 was investigated as a source of additional chlorine instead of or in combination with HCl during the low temperature (13000C) halo-carbon epitaxial growth. No Si cluster cloud was visible inside the hot-wall susceptor indicating negligible homogeneous gas-phase nucleation. The growth rate was significantly enhanced compared to the SiH4-case, but was relatively close to the SiH4+HCl case. Similar to the SiH4+HCl growth, the increase of the growth rate caused by suppressed cluster formation was less significant than expected. The depletion of the growth species by vigorous polycrystalline deposition upstream of the hot zone, which was earlier reported for the SiH4+HCl growth, was also significant in the SiCl4-based growth. Closer to the growth zone, carbon species also get incorporated in the polycrystalline deposits.

Various low temperature treatments of Ni[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text] have shown an unexpected effect on the martensitic start temperature. Periodic diffuse intensity distributions in reciprocal space indicate the formation of short pure Ni strings along the [Formula: see text]111[Formula: see text] directions in the B2 ordered lattice, precursing the formation of Ni4Ti3 precipitates formed at higher annealing temperatures.

A survey of the cluster formation tendency and mechanism in transition metal-based glassy alloys is made with an emphasis on their manifestation in various physical properties. The cluster formation is partially inherited from the supercooling of the melt. However, it also develops due to the interaction between dissolved hydrogen and the frozen glassy structure. The glassy state as “cluster assembly” is regarded as a structural background for the interpretation of several anomalous concentration dependences of thermal and magnetic properties in these glasses. We will focus on the manifestation of alloying effects, the relation between irreversible and reversible structural relaxations both in the high, and low temperature range (observed near to the glass transition or after low temperature storage). The development of the cluster assembly is the consequence of the co-existence of various bonding types between the alloy components. These are brought together in the melt, ensuring sufficient glass-forming ability. The nucleation mechanism of the amorphous-nanocrystalline transformation is also explained as a cluster phenomenon, which significantly contributes to the evolution of magnetic ultra-softness in FINEMET-type alloys. Finally, the role of the quenched-in cluster structure in the mechanism of reversible and irreversible H-absorption is discussed. Irreversible H-induced structural rearrangements can appear as microphase separation in multicomponent systems, governed by the affinity difference between the metallic components and the absorbed hydrogen. This kind of H-induced reordering is responsible for the “volume activation” of amorphous H-storage alloys and it also causes the gradual breakdown of storage capacity during cyclic absorption–desorption steps. This article mainly focuses on the cluster phenomena in Fe-based glasses because of its unique combination of high mechanical strength, strong corrosion resistance, good thermal stability and excellent magnetic properties.
