Abstract
We study a quantum quench for a semiconductor quantum dot coupled to a fermionic reservoir, induced by the sudden creation of an exciton via optical absorption. The subsequent emergence of correlations between spin degrees of freedom of dot and reservoir, culminating in the Kondo effect, can be read off from the absorption line shape and understood in terms of the three fixed points of the single-impurity Anderson model. At low temperatures the line shape is dominated by a power-law singularity, with an exponent that depends on gate voltage and, in a universal, asymmetric fashion, on magnetic field, indicative of a tunable Anderson orthogonality catastrophe.

Abstract
Understanding the charging of exceptionally narrow levels in quantum dots in the presence of interactions remains a challenge within mesoscopic physics. We address this fundamental question in the generic model of a narrow level capacitively coupled to a broad one. Using bosonization we show that for arbitrary capacitive coupling charging can be described by an analogy to the magnetization in the anisotropic Kondo model, featuring a low-energy crossover scale that depends in a power-law fashion on the tunneling amplitude to the level. Explicit analytical expressions for the exponent are derived and confirmed by detailed numerical and functional renormalization-group calculations.

Abstract
We use the numerical renormalization group method (NRG) to investigate a single-impurity Anderson model with a coupling of the impurity to a superconducting host. Analysis of the energy flow shows that, contrary to previous belief, NRG iterations can be performed up to a large number of sites, corresponding to energy differences far below the superconducting gap Δ. This allows us to calculate the impurity spectral function A(ω) very accurately for frequencies |ω|∼Δ, and to resolve, in a certain parameter regime, sharp peaks in A(ω) close to the gap edge.

Abstract
Transmission phase alpha measurements of many-electron quantum dots (small mean level spacing delta) revealed universal phase lapses by pi between consecutive resonances. In contrast, for dots with only a few electrons (large delta), the appearance or not of a phase lapse depends on the dot parameters. We show that a model of a multilevel quantum dot with local Coulomb interactions and arbitrary level-lead couplings reproduces the generic features of the observed behavior. The universal behavior of alpha for small delta follows from Fano-type antiresonances of the renormalized single-particle levels.

Competition for attachment of aquaculture candidate probiotic and pathogenic bacteria on fish intestinal mucus. JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2004; 27:319-326.

Abstract
Probiotics for aquaculture are generally only selected by their ability to produce antimicrobial metabolites; however, attachment to intestinal mucus is important in order to remain within the gut of its host. Five candidate probiotics (AP1-AP5), isolated from the clownfish, Amphiprion percula (Lacepéde), were examined for their ability to attach to fish intestinal mucus and compete with two pathogens, Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio alginolyticus. Two different radioactive isotopes were used to quantify competition between pathogens and probionts. Attachment of the pathogens was enhanced by the presence of the candidate probiotics. However, the addition of the candidate probiotics after the pathogens resulted in reduced pathogen attachment. Only AP5 caused lower attachment success of V. alginolyticus when added before the pathogen. When AP5 was added first, the average attachment change was 41% compared with 72% when added after V. alginolyticus, suggesting that the probiotic is displaced but that enhanced attachment of the pathogen does not occur. Conversely, when V. alginolyticus was added first, followed by AP5, attachment change was 37% while AP5 had 92% attachment change when added second. This implies that the pathogen was displaced by the candidate probiotic and therefore it appeared that, based on the ability of probiont AP5 to attach to mucus, the growth of the pathogen in the digestive tract might be suppressed by the candidate probiont's presence.

Abstract
The formation of negative ions (H-, O-, S-, F-, Cl-) is studied for grazing scattering of fast ions from Cu(110) and Cu(111) surfaces. In a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation we reveal that the projected L-band gap of the Cu metal affects charge transfer in a specific manner. From the analysis of the negative ion fractions as functions of projectile velocity we conclude that, for the Cu(111) surface the electronic 2D surface state continuum plays an essential role in the projectile-surface electron transfer.

Abstract
Electron capture by Li+ and H projectiles in grazing scattering from Cu(111) and Cu(110) surfaces is studied experimentally and theoretically. Whereas data for Cu(110) can be described by established theoretical methods treating resonant charge transfer with a free-electron metal, data for Cu(111) show pronounced deviations from this approach. We interpret our observations by the effect of the projected L-band gap of the Cu(111) surface. In particular, the quantum states of reduced dimension (2D surface state continuum) play a dominant role in electron transfer.

Abstract
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the most important regulator of megakaryocyte development and platelet production. Platelet production is thought to be regulated by a negative regulatory feed back loop. In an attempt to evaluate the role of TPO in the pathobiology of essential thrombocythemia (ET), we have examined levels of TPO and other cytokines with thrombopoietic activity (interleukin-6 and interleukin-11) in sera obtained from 25 patients with ET (ten treated, 15 untreated) and 117 healthy control subjects. TPO serum levels were assessed using a sandwich-antibody ELISA that utilizes a polyclonal rabbit antiserum for both capture and signal. The mean serum TPO level in 25 ET patients was significantly elevated (545+/-853 pg/ml) as compared with that in healthy controls (95.3+/-54.0 pg/ml,p<0.001). The difference in TPO serum levels between ten treated (781+/-1229 pg/ ml) and 15 untreated ET patients (388+/-458 pg/ml) did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.09). We conclude that either consumption or production of TPO is altered in ET. Failure of appropriate feedback regulation and continued megakaryocyte stimulation by an elevated TPO may play an important role in the pathobiology of ET.

Abstract
In an attempt to evaluate the role of thrombopoietin (TPO) in the pathobiology of aplastic anaemia (AA), we have examined TPO levels in sera from 54 AA patients and 119 healthy controls. A total of 92 samples were collected from AA patients: 43 samples were harvested at diagnosis, 23 samples in the cytopenic period after treatment, and 26 samples when patients were in partial (n=10) or complete remission (n=16) following immunosuppressive treatment. TPO serum levels were assessed by a sandwich-antibody ELISA that utilized a polyclonal rabbit antiserum for both capture and signal. Serum samples from normal donors revealed a mean TPO level of 95.3 +/- 54.0 pg/ml (standard deviation). Mean TPO levels in AA sera collected at diagnosis and before onset of treatment were 2728 +/- 1074 pg/ml (P<0.001 compared to normal controls: mean platelet count at that time: 27x10(9)/l). TPO serum levels of AA patients in partial or complete remission after immunosuppressive treatment were significantly lower than TPO levels at diagnosis (P<0.001). However, despite normal platelet counts (mean 167x10(9)/l), TPO levels remained significantly elevated in complete remission (mean TPO 1009 +/- 590 pg/ml, P<0.001 compared to normal controls). There was a significant inverse correlation between serum TPO levels and platelet counts in AA patients who were not transfused for at least 2 weeks prior to sample collection (coefficient of correlation (r) = -0.70, P<0.0001). In summary, TPO levels were highly elevated in sera of patients with AA. Thus there is no evidence to suggest an impaired TPO response contributing to thrombocytopenia in AA. Thrombopoietin did not return to normal levels in remission, indicating a persisting haemopoietic defect in remission of AA. We hypothesize that elevated levels of TPO may be required to maintain normal or near normal platelet counts in remission of AA.

Abstract
Transglutaminase (protein-glutamine: amine gamma-glutamyltransferase, EC 2.3.2.13) from Streptoverticillium mobaraense has been used to stabilize immobilisates produced with beta-galactosidase (beta-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23) from Aspergillus oryzae and acid-processed gelatins of different qualities as support. The isopeptide level of N epsilon-(gamma-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine bonds formed by transglutaminase was determined to estimate their influence on the kinetic properties of the enclosed beta-galactosidase. An HPLC procedure using precolumn derivatization of the gelatin hydrolysates with FMOC-chloride was chosen which permits the analysis of cross-linked lysine with satisfactory precision. Depending on the gelatin quality, the degree of cross-links necessary for the transformation of gelatin into an insoluble protein was in the range 0.3-32.3% of the available lysine residues. beta-Galactosidase was entrapped in the gelatin matrices with a yield of 8-46% of the initial activity. Long reaction times for cross-linking were due to low yields rather than to the number of isopeptide bonds. Repeated use of the immobilisates did not lead to an appreciable loss of activity. The Vmax of beta-galactosidase were diminished by immobilization caused by a tighter package of the protein chains rather than by the extent of cross-links, while the obtained Km values of the free enzyme and the immobilisates were quite similar. Also, the pH and temperature of optima of the free enzyme and the gelatin immobilisates differ only slightly. The data suggest that the immobilization procedure only moderately affects the activity of enzymes catalysing the reaction of a small compound if gelatin with high jelly strength is cross-linked in a 10% solution with transglutaminase.

In 54 patients with malignant lymphoma, haematopoietic recovery after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was compared between patients randomised to receive 10 or 30 micrograms/kg/day of r-metHuG-CSF (filgrastim) or no growth factor. After standard high-dose chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, etoposide and BCNU (CVB regimen for patients with Hodgkin's disease) or BCNU, etoposide, cytosine arabinoside and melphalan (BEAM regimen for patients suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) followed by autologous BMT, r-metHuG-CSF was administered by continuous intravenous infusion from the first day after autologous BMT until neutrophil recovery. When the r-metHuG-CSF groups were compared with the control group the major findings were: the median time to reach an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > or = 0.5 x 10(9)/L was 20 days in the control group and 12 and 14 days, respectively, in the r-metHuG-CSF groups (P = 0.0004). The duration of neutropenia (ANC < 0.5 x 10(9)/L) was reduced from 27 days in the control group to 11 and 13 days in the r-metHuG-CSF groups (P = 0.0001). In addition, fewer days of febrile neutropenia were observed in the r-metHuG-CSF groups (5 and 6 days) than in the control group (10 days; P = 0.036). No significant effects of r-metHuG-CSF administration on the number of days with fever, the use of intravenous antibiotics and hospitalisation were detected. R-metHuG-CSF was well tolerated without any serious side-effects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We report on the chemotherapy plus granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) induced mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) and their impact on haematopoietic recovery following high-dose chemotherapy. Twenty-four patients with advanced solid tumours or lymphomas received standard-dose chemotherapy with VP16, ifosfamide and cisplatin (VIP) followed by filgrastim (G-CSF; 5 micrograms/kg s.c. daily for 14 d) for the prevention of chemotherapy induced neutropenia and for the simultaneous mobilization of PBPCs. Maximal numbers of progenitors of different lineages were reached at day 11 (range 9-14) after VIP chemotherapy. A median of 0.415 x 10(9)/l CD34+ cells (range 0.11-1.98), 9000 CFU-GM/ml (range 2800-17,700), 3500 BFU-E/ml (range 400-10,800) and 200 CFU-GEMM/ml (range 0-4400) were recruited. One single apheresis yielded a median of 1.6 x 10(8) mononuclear cells/kg (range 0.2-5.4) or 5.4 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg body weight (range 0.2-24.2). Fourteen patients who showed at least a partial remission after two cycles of the standard-dose chemotherapy regimen were subjected to high-dose VIP chemotherapy (cumulative doses of 1500 mg/m2 VP16, 12 g/m2 ifosfamide and 150 mg/m2 cisplatin) with or without PBPC support. The first six patients were treated with growth factors only (IL-3/GM-CSF) and did not receive PBPCs, whereas the following eight patients were supported with PBPCs in addition to IL-3 and GM-CSF. Neutrophil recovery as well as platelet recovery were significantly faster in patients receiving PBPCs with a median of 6.5 d below 0.1 x 10(9) neutrophils/l and 3 d below 20 x 10(9) platelets/l as compared to 10.5 d and 8 d in control patients receiving growth factors only. The accelerated platelet recovery in patients supported with PBPCs might be explained--in the absence of detectable colony-forming units megakaryocyte--by the presence of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa+, non-proliferating endomitotic megakaryocytic precursor cells within G-CSF mobilized PBPCs. Our data demonstrate that chemotherapy plus G-CSF mobilized PBPCs accelerate both neutrophil and platelet recovery after high-dose VIP chemotherapy in patients with solid tumours or lymphomas.

Abstract
Preliminary clinical results demonstrate the activity of recombinant human granulocyte (rHuG) and granulocyte/macrophage (rHuGM) colony stimulating factors (CSFs) in enhancing bone marrow engraftment after autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In several analyses of prospective, controlled clinical trials of rHuG- and rHuGM-CSF, reduced morbidity and cost, as well as improved survival have been observed. There is reason to hope that more profound understanding of the in vivo biology of these and other cytokines will lead to further reduction in morbidity and mortality associated with both autologous as well as allogeneic BMT. These advances could significantly broaden the spectrum of diseases amenable to treatment by BMT.
