Lake Victoria Fisheries Service Annual Report 1957/58

The major task in hand at the beginning of the year was the Deep Water Fishing Survey in Uganda waters. This has continued throughout the year with varying, lm generally, not particularly encouraging, results. A full account is given in paras. 33 to 67 of this Report. The new method of marking Tilapia was introduced at the beginning of the year, and, apart from delays resulting from the delivery position of marking materials, has gone ahead steadily. The improvement in results expected from this method was already evident after only nine months' work, and information has been obtained which never was-nor could have been-obtained by the old method of marking. A full account is given in paras 114 to 133.

1.58 mu m InGaAs quantum well laser on GaAs

We demonstrate the 1.58 mu m emission at room temperature from a metamorphic In0.6Ga0.4As quantum well laser grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy. The large lattice mismatch was accommodated through growth of a linearly graded buffer layer to create a high quality virtual In0.32Ga0.68As substrate. Careful growth optimization ensured good optical and structural qualities. For a 1250x50 mu m(2) broad area laser, a minimum threshold current density of 490 A/cm(2) was achieved under pulsed operation. This result indicates that metamorphic InGaAs quantum wells can be an alternative approach for 1.55 mu m GaAs-based lasers. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Effects of growth temperature of AlGaN buffer layer on the properties of A1(0.58)Ga(0.42)N epilayer by NH3-MBE

Al0.58Ga0.42N epilayers are grown by ammonia gas source molecular beam epitaxy (NH3-MBE) on (0001) sapphire substrate using AlGaN buffer layer. The effects of the buffer layer growth temperature on the properties of Al0.58Ga0.42N epilayer are especially investigated. In-situ high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), double-crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoconductivity measurement and cathodoluminescence (CL) are used to characterize the samples. It is found that high growth temperature of AlGaN buffer layer would improve the crystalline quality, surface smoothness, optical quality and uniformity of the Al0.58Ga0.42N epilayer. The likely reason for such improvements is also suggested. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

Kinetic energies of C-n(+) (n <= 58) fragment ions produced by nanosecond laser impact on C-60

Laser-induced fragmentation of C-60 has been studied using a time-of-flight mass spectrometric technique. The average kinetic energies of fragment ions C-n(+) (n <= 58) have been extracted from the measured full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ion beam profiles. The primary formation mechanism of small fragment ion C-n(+) (n < 30) is assumed to be a two-step fragmentation process: C60 sequential decay to unstable C-30(+) ion and the binary fission of C-30(+). Considering a second photo absorption process in the later part of laser pulse duration, good agreement is achieved between experiment and theoretical description of photoion formation.

Fission dynamics for capture reactions in 58,64ni + 208pb systems: New results in terms of thermal energy and neutron multiplicity correlated distributions

The neutron multidetector DéMoN has been used to investigate the symmetric splitting dynamics in the reactions 58.64Ni + 208Pb with excitation energies ranging from 65 to 186 MeV for the composite system. An analysis based on the new backtracing technique has been applied on the neutron data to determine the two-dimensional correlations between the parent composite system initial thermal energy (EthCN) and the total neutron multiplicity (νtot), and between pre- and post-scission neutron multiplicities (νpre and νpost, respectively). The νpre distribution shape indicates the possible coexistence of fast-fission and fusion-fission for the system 58Ni + 208Pb (Ebeam = 8.86 A MeV). The analysis of the neutron multiplicities in the framework of the combined dynamical statistical model (CDSM) gives a reduced friction coefficient β = 23 ± 2512 × 1021 s-1, above the one-body dissipation limit. The corresponding fission time is τf = 40 ± 4620 × 10-21 s. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Expo 58 :katalysator en vitrine voor het Belgische bouwbedrijf. Expo 58 :catalyseur et vitrine du secteur de la construction en Belgique

L’impact des expositions universelles sur le secteur de la construction du pays d’accueil est triple :elles sont l’occasion de faire la démonstration de la qualité des produits et projets de l’industrie locale ;elles stimulent les investissements dans l’infrastructure nouvelle et les bâtiments autour du site de l’exposition ;et elles représentent un défi prestigieux à relever, celui d’édifier en peu de temps des pavillons d’exception et de les montrer à un public international. L’Expo 58 a attiré 41,5 millions de visiteurs avec ses quelque 250 nouveaux bâtiments. Seuls sept entrepreneurs non belges ont participé aux travaux. Pour le monde belge de la construction, cette première exposition universelle après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale a marqué un moment charnière :elle a dressé un état des lieux de la période de reconstruction et a inauguré une phase de grands travaux de modernisation de l’infrastructure du pays. Mais elle peut aussi être vue comme un franchissement du creux économique de courte durée entre le Miracle belge (1947) et les golden sixties. Les premières initiatives remontent en effet à 1946, époque caractérisée par une réalité économique et politique bien différente de celle de la fin des années cinquante. En 1957-8, le secteur belge de la construction arrivait à peine à faire face à la demande, en particulier en raison de risques de pénurie dans la sidérurgie et d’un manque de main-d’œuvre qualifiée. Les pouvoirs publics ont ainsi échelonné la construction de logements sociaux de manière à la répartir avec les efforts consentis pour l’exposition universelle.

A change in the zooplankton of the central North Sea (55 degree to 58 degree N): A possible consequence of changes in the benthos

The mesozooplankton taken in continuous plankton recorder samples from the Central North Sea has changed from being numerically dominated by holoplanktonic calanoid copepod species from 1958 to the late 1970s to a situation where pluteus larvae of echinoid and ophiuroid echinoderms have been more abundant than any single holoplanktonic species in the 1980s and early 1990s. The abundance of the echinoderm larvae as a proportion of the zooplankton taken in the samples has followed a continuous increasing trend over the Dogger Bank, but off the eastern coast of northern England and southern Scotland the increase did not become obvious until the 1980s. This trend is consistent with reported increases in abundance of the macrobenthos. It is proposed that changes in the benthos have influenced the composition of the plankton.
