AbstractInteractions dictating the shape and stability of surface islands have been examined for a simple model system, palladium clusters on the W(110) plane. Observations in a field ion microscope of the distribution of two Pd adatoms over the surface yield quantitative values for pair interactions. These are found to be complex, extending over distances longer than 10 A and to vary strongly with the orientation of the pair axis on the (110) surface. Using the measured pair energies it has been possible to infer the magnitude of many-atom effects necessary to account for the equilibrium shape of the clusters. Many-atom interactions turn out to make by far the largest contribution to cluster cohesion; modeling of growth phenomena in terms of nearest-neighbor bonds only is clearly problematic.

A magnetic resonance (MR) method for measuring the deformation of the brain during angular acceleration was validated in a simple model system. Experimentally-derived shear strain patterns in a cylindrical gel “phantom” under angular acceleration were compared to analogous strain fields predicted by finite element simulation.

Unsaturated AlIII complex shows a fast exchange of water molecules, hydroxide and fluoride anions in the coordination sphere, highly pH-dependent fluoride binding and release of fluorides at high pH or at high phosphate anion concentrations.

Xenopus laevis frog tadpoles near the time of hatching have proved to be an excellent model system in which to explore the neural mechanisms responsible for the initiation, maintenance, sensory adaptation, and termination of rhythmic locomotor activity in vertebrates. The underlying neural network is one of the most completely understood in any vertebrate. Detailed knowledge has accrued over the last 40 years, highlighting conserved operational features of vertebrate rhythm generators and serving as an invaluable platform from which to investigate associated issues of fundamental importance in neuroscience, such as motor program switching, transmitter corelease, network development, neuromodulation, and metamodulation of network operation. There are many advantages of this simple model system, including the presence of a well-defined network output that relates directly to the behavior of the animal under study (namely, swimming locomotion).
