The research examines the development of women's prison writing through the journal of the Kingston Prison for Women, Tightwire. The journal enabled the prisoners to articulate their experience of prison for themselves as a specific subject-group, as women and as…

We report for the first time the results of a comparative performance study of silver-halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) holograms recorded in the familiar Agfa 8E75 HD plates and the new BB-640 plates manufactured by Holographic Recording Technologies. High diffraction efficiency…

We present an available and low cost technique for the production of binary-phase diffractive optical elements designed by digital methods. We produce binary-amplitude holograms making use of a high-resolution graphic device. They are used as binary masks which are copied…

A novel method for the characterization of the processing of both absorption and phase holograms is proposed. Differently from the previous models, the square root of the diffraction efficiency of the processed hologram was directly related to the amplitude of…

Optical densities before bleaching and final Lin curves of planewave phase holograms recorded in Agfa—Gevaert 8E75HD emulsions were measured for various combinations of developers (AAC, Pyrogallol and Catechol) and bleaching agents (R-9 and EDTA). To characterize the processing, the square…

A new aqueous photopolymer containing the monomers acrylamide, N,N'-methylenbisacrylamide and zinc acrylate, the initiators 4,5-diiodosuccinylfluorescein (2ISF) and methylene blue (MB), and the coinitiator sodium p-toluenesulphinate is described. This formulation exhibits a clear enhancement of the high-energy sensitivity upon irradiation with…

We describe here a specific calcineurin activity in neutrophil lysates, which is dependent on Ca2+, inhibited by trifluoroperazine, and insensitive to okadaic acid. Immunoblotting experiments using a specific antiserum recognized both the A and B chains of calcineurin. Neutrophils treated…

Fianoniella stenognatha sp. n. from the Columbretes Islands (Castellón, Spain) is described and illustrated. The new species is distinguished by its longer and narrower mandibles with parallel or divergent rims in the apical half, wider clypeus, hind ocelli more separated…

Eumerus purpurariae, described from the Canary Islands (Atlantic), has been reared from the stems (platyclades) of the cactus Opuntia maxima (the first know host) on Nueva Tabarca, a Mediterranean island close to the Iberian coast. The egg, larva and puparium…
