Abstract
Lifetimes of excited states of the 98;100;102Zr nuclei were measured by using the Generalized Centroid Difference Method. The nuclei of interest were populated via neutron-induced fission of 241Pu and 235U during the EXILL-FATIMA campaign. The obtained lifetimes were used to calculate the B(E2) transition strengths and β deformation parameters which were then compared with the recent theoretical predictions obtained with Monte Carlo Shell Model.

Abstract
The work reports several new excited states in the neutron-rich 147La nucleus, populated in spontaneous fission of 252Cf. The excitation scheme has been reinvestigated by means of γ-ray spectroscopy, using high-fold γ coincidences measured with the Gammasphere array of Ge detectors. It is shown that the 229.65-keV level has spin and parity 11/2-, which changes the 9/2- spin-parity reported in a recent evaluation and sets up the spinparity of the ground state as 5/2+. New levels allow to arrange the excitation scheme of 147La into a parity-doublet-like structure showing that the 147La nucleus may have an octupole deformation.

Abstract
The γ decays of excited states in the very neutron-rich nucleus 88Se have been observed following the cold neutron-induced fission of 235U at the PF1B facility of the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble. The EXILL array was used to measure γ - γ - γ coincidences, which were then analysed to build a level scheme of 88Se. A low (2+1) energy hints at the onset of quadrupole deformation and the identification of possible members of a (2+2) band provide evidence for γ vibrations. Shell-model calculations using a 78Ni core reproduce the experimental decay scheme well, implying that interactions between particles in the π f5/2 p and vsd orbits are responsible for much of the collectivity present. The algebraic collective model has also been used to interpret the experimental data, showing that that the experimental spectrum is consistent with 88Se being a transitional nucleus, possessing weak static β deformation and γ instability.

Abstract
At the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, germanium-gated γ-γ fast-timing lifetime measurements of nuclear excited states in neutron-rich nuclei have been performed within a prompt γ-ray spectroscopy experimental campaign. We report on results obtained from the cold-neutron induced fission of 235U. The excited secondary fission products were stopped almost instantaneously within the thick target and the γ rays emitted were collected triggerlessly using the EXILL&FATIMA mixed array of HPGe and LaBr3(Ce) detectors. Precise lifetimes could be determined by analysing the γ-γ time difference spectra using the generalized centroid difference method. This picosecondsensitive method provides many advantages and is briefly explained. Still, the major source of systematic errors is related to the contribution of time-correlated Compton background. The EXILL&FATIMA results are discussed with respect to the typical energy-dependent timing behaviour of the background. According to the time response of the background, appropriate methods and a time correction for the sub-nanosecond regime are proposed.

Abstract
Recent results on the structure of 47Ca will be presented. The nucleus of interest was populated via the cold-neutron capture 46Ca(n,γ) reaction, on a rare 46Ca target, during the EXILL experimental campaign at the nuclear reactor of Institut Laue- Langevin in Grenoble. High-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy, performed with a composite array of HPGe detectors, enabled the identification of new transitions deexciting states between the neutron-capture level and the ground state. Experimental data will be compared with a novel microscopic theoretical model, currently under development, specifically designed to describe the low-lying structure of odd-mass nuclei with one valence particle/hole outside a spherical doubly-magic core, using the Skyrme effective interaction self-consistently.

Abstract
For x rays the real part of the refractive index, dominated by Rayleigh scattering, is negative and converges to zero for higher energies. For γ rays a positive component, related to Delbrück scattering, increases with energy and becomes dominating. The deflection of a monochromatic γ beam due to refraction was measured by placing a Si wedge into a flat double crystal spectrometer. Data were obtained in an energy range from 0.18 MeV to 2 MeV. The data are compared to theory, taking into account elastic and inelastic Delbrück scattering as well as recent results on the energy dependence of the pair creation cross section. Probably a new field of γ optics with many new applications opens up.

Abstract
Tetrahedral symmetry in strongly interacting systems would establish a new class of quantum effects at subatomic scale. Excited states in 156Gd that could carry the information about the tetrahedral symmetry were populated in the 155Gd(n,γ)156Gd reaction and studied using the GAMS4/5 Bragg spectrometers at the Institut Laue-Langevin. We have identified the 5(1)- → 3(1)- transition of 131.983(12) keV in 156Gd and determined its intensity to be 1.9(3)x10(-6) per neutron capture. The lifetime τ=220(-30)(+180) fs of the 5(1)- state in 156Gd has been measured using the GRID technique. The resulting B(E2)=293(-134)(+6) Weisskopf unit rate of the 131.983 keV transition provides the intrinsic quadrupole moment of the 5(1)- state in 156Gd to be Q0=7.1(-1.6)(+0.7) b. This large value, comparable to the quadrupole moment of the ground state in 156Gd, gives strong evidence against tetrahedral symmetry in the lowest odd-spin, negative-parity band of 156Gd.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is commonly thought to reveal more precise values of pulmonary gas uptake through alveolar-capillary membranes (DL) than the normally used carbon monoxide (CO). Since such measurements are influenced by a significant endogenous NO delivery within human airways, we propose the use of the naturally occurring (15)N-labelled stable nitric oxide isotope (15)NO. It occurs with a relative abundance of 0.37% of the dominating isotope (14)NO. Therefore, the endogenous (15)NO production can be neglected. In the present pilot study we demonstrate the workability of (15)NO in determining DL in healthy individuals. In seven female and 15 male volunteers, averaged values of DL increase with increasing mean alveolar volume as well as individual body height ( P=0.000001). Due to the very high significance level obtained from the multiple regression analysis, we conclude that the application of (15)NO establishes a novel approach to calculate standard values of DL. Such calculations can be employed to predict a reference for patients who suffer from pulmonary diffusion limitation.

Abstract
The epoque of king Casimir Jagiellonczyk was a period of splendid development of the Polish-Lithuanian state, mainly due to regaining of Danzig (Gdansk). In the time, Godzislaw from Gorzyce, village of undetermined location (there were 13 villages named Gorzyce in Poland), son of a poor Polish peasant, made a career. He was born about 1410 and in 1428 entered the Cracow University, the only in the country at that time. Nobody knows where (probably in Italy) and for whose money he got university degrees, including doctor degree of medicine. In the forties of 15th century he was such a famous physician in Cracow, that the patients came to him even from Great Poland. Godzislaw was enobled by king Casimir in 1456, when he already was a king's physician and a priest. He probably died in Cracow about 1470, twenty years before the king, who was some 15 years younger.

Abstract
Two configurations of a continuous wave quantum cascade distributed feedback laser-based gas sensor for the detection of NO at a parts per billion (ppb) concentration level, typical of biomedical applications, have been investigated. The laser was operated at liquid nitrogen temperature near lambda = 5.2 microns. In the first configuration, a 100 m optical path length multi-pass cell was employed to enhance the NO absorption. In the second configuration, a technique based on cavity-enhanced spectroscopy (CES) was utilized, with an effective path length of 670 m. Both sensors enabled simultaneous analysis of NO and CO2 concentrations in exhaled air. The minimum detectable NO concentration was found to be 3 ppb with a multi-pass cell and 16 ppb when using CES. The two techniques are compared, and potential future developments are discussed.

Abstract
We present an ultrahigh-resolution saturation spectrometer based on a line-tunable carbon monoxide laser near 60 THz (lambda = 5 microm). A spectral resolution of 14 kHz (Dnu/nu = 2.3 x 10(-10)) for CO fundamental-band transitions was achieved, which improves on earlier results by one order of magnitude. A frequency-locking scheme using tunable microwave sidebands provides tunability and absolute frequency control of the CO laser on the kilohertz. Transit-time broadening and pressure broadening of the observed transitions are significantly reduced by use of expanded laser beams in a 24-m absorption cell at pressures down to 0.0 1Pa. The new spectrometer is suitable for the study of saturation line shapes and the development of a new generation of frequency standards in the 60-THz region.

Abstract
By using tunable microwave sidebands added to CO-laser lines, we have made more sub-Doppler heterodyne frequency measurements on OCS. Three new rotational transitions have been measured for each of three absorption bands, 10(0)0-00(0)0, 02(0)1-00(0)0, and 03(1)1-01(1)0. The absolute uncertainties of the measurements are on the order of +/-25 kHz. New calibration tables are given for the region 1860-1925 and 2020-2085 cm(-1) based on the most recent OCS measurements.

Abstract
We report on spectroscopic real-time detection of (13)CH(4) in ambient air. Our measurements were carried out by means of cavity leak-out absorption spectroscopy employing a tunable cw laser in the mid-infrared spectral region near lambda = 3 microm. A CO laser in combination with tunable microwave sideband generation was used as the light source. Using a 50-cm-long ringdown cell with R = 99.98% mirrors, we achieved a detection limit of 290 parts in 10(12) (ppt) (13)CH(4) in ambient air (integration time, 100 s). The corresponding noise-equivalent absorption coefficient was 5 x 10(-9)/cm.

Abstract
This investigation documented the locations of endoscopically applied T-Fix suture devices (Acufex Microsurgical, Mansfield, MA) placed in six fresh-frozen cadaveric knees (age, 60 to 72 years) in relationship to the joint capsule, and adjacent neurovascular and musculotendinous structures. Five T-Fix devices were placed in the posterior meniscal regions at approximately 20 degree intervals. Gross dissection enabled T-Fix bar and suture placement identification. Fifty total devices were placed (23 medially and 27 laterally). Lateral: None of the devices penetrated more superficially than the deepest capsular layer (layer III). Six of the 27 devices placed at the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus pierced the popliteus tendon. None of the bars pierced the lateral collateral ligament (layer III). All devices placed at the posterolateral knee were outside the arcuate ligament (layer III) but inside the fabellofibular ligament (layer II). Medial: Seven of the 23 devices pierced the deep medial collateral ligament (MCL, layer III), and 4 pierced the superficial MCL (layer II). Three devices pierced the sartorius tendon (layer I) and one pierced the gracilis tendon (layer II). None of the medial devices created a plicating effect on the posterior capsule. None of the devices were placed near neurovascular structures. Devices placed within the posterior meniscal horns had a > or =1.5-cm buffer zone from the popliteal neurovascular bundle. Most bars (36 of 50) were anchored to the capsular layer (layer III) after piercing the meniscocapsular junction (layer II). T-Fix devices simulating arthroscopic all-inside meniscal repair provided well-positioned, solid suture anchorage through the junction with no neurovascular involvement. Care needs to be taken when placing lateral (popliteus muscle) and medial (gracilis, sartorius tendons and superficial MCL) devices to avoid possible soft tissue tenodesis.

Abstract
Laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy (LMRS) is a sensitive and isotope-selective technique for determining low concentrations of gaseous free radicals with high time resolution. We used this technique to analyze the nitric oxide (NO) concentration profile while simultaneously measuring the flow and expired volume during several single breathing cycles. Eight healthy, nonallergic volunteers were investigated. An initial NO peak was found in all breathing cycles before the NO concentration dropped to a relatively stable plateau in the late phase of expiration. The nasal NO peak was significantly higher than the oral NO peak. The nasal NO plateau was always higher than the oral NO plateau. The height of the initial nasal and oral NO peak rose with increasing duration of breath hold, whereas the late expiratory NO plateau changed only little for either the nasal or the oral breathing cycles. Our findings demonstrate, in line with other reports using other techniques, that the nose is the primary source for NO within the airways.

Abstract
We present sub-Doppler heterodyne frequency measurements on 10 rovibrational transitions of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) between 2894 and 2910 cm-1. The measurements were made using a CO overtone laser which had limited tuneability through the generation of microwave sidebands in a CdTe crystal. With this technique the laser frequencies were shifted to the desired OCS transition frequencies. The transition frequencies could be measured with uncertainties less than 30 kHz (Deltanu/nu = 3 x 10(-10)) by frequency offset-locking the CO overtone laser to combination frequencies of two saturation-stabilized CO2 laser standards. The measured transition frequencies of OCS were combined with previous sub-Doppler, Fourier transform, and microwave measurements to recalculate improved calibration tables for the 10(0)1-00(0)0, 11(1e)1-01(1e)0, and 11(1f)1-01(1f)0 bands. These tables are suitable for the calibration of infrared spectrometers in the 87 THz region (near 2900 cm-1). Copyright 1998 Academic Press.

Abstract
We studied the gas phase spectrum of the deuterated ethynyl radical C2D in the region between 3196 and 3243 cm-1 using a Faraday LMR spectrometer in combination with a CO overtone laser. The C2D radicals were generated in a dc glow discharge containing helium, deuterium, and acetylene. We observed a hot band between two vibronic 2Pi states with an origin at 3225 cm-1. The lower level is assigned to the first excited bending level of the electronic X ground state. The upper level corresponds to the first excited electronic state A at 3513 cm-1, which was observed previously [J. Mol. Struct. 190, 41-60 (1988)]. This region is subject to strong vibronic interaction, caused by mixing of the electronic X ground state with the A state at 3513 cm-1. From the analysis of the spectra we could determine the orbital g factor of the upper level, which gave important information about the mixing ratios. In addition we were able to derive a precise term value for the first excited bending level of the electronic X ground state. The experimentally derived molecular parameters are compared with theoretically calculated values, obtained by ab initio calculations. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
