Abstract
We investigate, using a recently developed model of liquid state theory describing the rheology of dense granular flows, how a yield stress appears in granular matter at the yielding transition. Our model allows us to predict an analytical equation of the corresponding dynamical yield surface, which is compared to the usual models of solid fracture. In particular, this yield surface interpolates between the typical failure behaviors of soft and hard materials. This work also underlines the central role played by the effective friction coefficient at the yielding transition.

Abstract
Advances in space flight technology will enable the construction of Moon or even Mars bases in the not-too-distant future. Thus, materials will be needed that are suitable for building in microgravity environments. One idea is to use concrete, the most used construction material on Earth, for these challenging tasks. The hardening and the properties of concrete under the boundary conditions prevailing on Earth are well understood, but there is only limited research on concrete produced in microgravity. Hence, a research project called MASON was established, which aims to mix and harden concrete on the ISS and to investigate the properties of the specimens made in microgravity extensively. Since a defined geometry of the specimens would be favorable for these investigations, a special hardware was developed, called the MASON Concrete Mixer (MCM), which allows the production of concrete specimens fulfilling the requirements on the geometry as well as the safety requirements. Subsequently, the development, design, tests, and qualification of the MCM as well as its usage are presented.

Abstract
We describe an experiment container with light scattering and imaging diagnostics for experiments on soft matter aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The suite of measurement capabilities can be used to study different materials in exchangeable sample cell units. The currently available sample cell units and future possibilities for foams, granular media, and emulsions are presented in addition to an overview of the design and the diagnostics of the experiment container. First results from measurements performed on ground and during the commissioning aboard the ISS highlight the capabilities of the experiment container to study the different materials.

Abstract
The Granular Integration Through Transients (GITT) formalism gives a theoretical description of the rheology of moderately dense granular flows and suspensions. In this work, we extend the GITT equations beyond the case of simple shear flows studied before. Applying this to the particular example of extensional flows, we show that the predicted behavior is somewhat different from that of the more frequently studied simple shear case, as illustrated by the possibility of nonmonotonous evolution of the effective friction coefficient μ with the inertial number I. By the reduction of the GITT equations to simple toy models, we provide a generalization of the μ(I)-law true for any type of flow deformation. Our analysis also includes a study of the Trouton ratio, which is shown to behave quite similarly to that of dense colloidal suspensions.

Abstract
This work generalizes the granular integration through transients formalism introduced by Kranz et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 148002 (2018)10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.148002] to the determination of the pressure. We focus on the Bagnold regime and provide theoretical support to the empirical μ(I) rheology laws that have been successfully applied in many granular flow problems. In particular, we confirm that the interparticle friction is irrelevant in the regime where the μ(I) laws apply.

Abstract
In Paper I [O. Coquand and M. Sperl, J. Chem. Phys. 152, 124112 (2020)], we derived analytical expressions for the structure factor of the square-shoulder potential in a perturbative way around the high- and low-temperature regimes. Here, various physical properties of these solutions are derived. In particular, we investigate the large wave number sector and relate it to the contact values of the pair-correlation function. Then, the thermoelastic properties of the square-shoulder fluids are discussed.

Abstract
The European Astronaut Centre (EAC) is currently constructing the European Lunar Exploration Laboratory (LUNA), a large training and operations facility to be located adjacent to EAC at the DLR (German Aerospace Centre) campus in Cologne, Germany. With an estimated representative lunar testbed area of approximately 660 m2, a large volume of lunar regolith simulant material is needed for this purpose. In this study, a basanitic sandy silt from a quarry located in the Siebengebirge Volcanic Field is evaluated as a large-volume source of material. The focus of this project has been to conduct a physical and chemical characterisation of the fine-grained material to be used in LUNA; the European Astronaut Centre lunar regolith simulant 1 (EAC-1 A). The physical characterisation tests undertaken include sphericity, density measurements, cohesion and static angle of repose, with mineralogical investigations via petrographical analysis with optical microscope and SEM, XRF, XRD and DSC measurements. The results of the EAC-1A tests are compared to published data on existing widely used lunar regolith simulants, namely JSC-1A, JSC-2A, NU-LHT-3M, DNA and FJS-1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
A new experimental facility has been designed and constructed to study driven granular media in a low-gravity environment. This versatile instrument, fully automatized, with a modular design based on several interchangeable experimental cells, allows us to investigate research topics ranging from dilute to dense regimes of granular media such as granular gas, segregation, convection, sound propagation, jamming, and rheology-all without the disturbance by gravitational stresses active on Earth. Here, we present the main parameters, protocols, and performance characteristics of the instrument. The current scientific objectives are then briefly described and, as a proof of concept, some first selected results obtained in low gravity during parabolic flight campaigns are presented.

Supported by theoretical calculations we identify, for both low (1%) and high (13%) Mn doping values, the electronic character of the states near the top of the valence band. Magnetization and temperature-dependent core-level photoemission spectra reveal how the delocalized character of the Mn states enables the bulk ferromagnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)As.

Abstract
We consider the stationary state of a fluid comprised of inelastic hard spheres or disks under the influence of a random, momentum-conserving external force. Starting from the microscopic description of the dynamics, we derive a nonlinear equation of motion for the coherent scattering function in two and three space dimensions. A glass transition is observed for all coefficients of restitution, ε, at a critical packing fraction φ(c)(ε) below random close packing. The divergence of timescales at the glass transition implies a dependence on compression rate upon further increase of the density-similar to the cooling-rate dependence of a thermal glass. The critical dynamics for coherent motion as well as tagged particle dynamics is analyzed and shown to be nonuniversal with exponents depending on space dimension and degree of dissipation.

Abstract
We have grown an ultrathin epitaxial Fe/MgO bilayer on (Ga, Mn)As by e-beam evaporation in UHV. The system structure has been investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments which show that the Fe and MgO films, covering completely the (Ga, Mn)As, grow with the epitaxial relationship Fe[100](001) [parallel] MgO[110](001) [parallel] (Ga,Mn)As[110](001). The magnetic reversal process, studied by the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) at room temperature, demonstrates that the iron is ferromagnetic and possesses a cubic anisotropy, confirming the epitaxy relationship found with TEM. Resistivity measurements across the barrier display a non-Ohmic behavior characterized by cubic conductance as a function of the applied voltage suggesting tunneling-dominated transport across the barrier.

Abstract
We report x-ray photoemission spectroscopy results on (Ga,Mn)As films as a function of both temperature and Mn doping. Analysis of Mn 2p core level spectra reveals the presence of a distinct electronic screening channel in the bulk, hitherto undetected in more surface sensitive analysis. Comparison with model calculations identifies the character of the Mn 3d electronic states and clarifies the role, and the difference between surface and bulk, of hybridization in mediating the ferromagnetic coupling in (Ga,Mn)As.

Abstract
We investigate the increase of the Curie temperature T(C) in a lateral spin injection geometry where the ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As injector and detector contacts are capped by a thin iron film. Because of interlayer coupling between Fe and (Ga,Mn)As T(C) gets enhanced by nearly 100% for the thinnest (Ga,Mn)As films. The use of the proximity effect might pave the way for practical implementation of spintronic devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing incidence rates of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) have been reported. In the present study, the authors have analyzed the incidence of STS in Austria in a population-based study for the period 1984-2004. PATIENTS AND METHODS Age-adjusted incidence rates, gender and age predilection and geographic differences were analyzed, comprising data from the Austrian National Cancer Registry. RESULTS A total of 5333 cases were registered; male-to-female ratio was 0.8. The most common histotypes were sarcoma not otherwise specified (36%), leiomyosarcoma (24%), liposarcoma (12%), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (9%) and fibrosarcoma (5%). Age-adjusted incidence rate was 2.4 per 100,000 per year. Analysis of annual incidence rates and 3-year periods showed no increase (annual increasing gradient = -0.0025). CONCLUSIONS This study has analyzed the most recent data from a European population in comparison with seven international studies. An increase, as postulated elsewhere, could not be confirmed. The incidence rate of STS in Austria ranges in the lower half of the international incidence rates (1.8-5.0 per 100,000 per year). Different inclusion criteria (Kaposi's sarcoma and dermatofibrosarcoma) and classifications in the various studies explain the increase of incidence in some studies rather than true increase of STS due to new or accumulated risk factors.

Abstract
We report x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry experiments to study magnetic order and coupling in thin Fe/(Ga, Mn)As(100) films. We observe induced magnetic order in the (Ga, Mn)As layer that extends over more than 2 nm, even at room temperature. We find spectroscopic evidences of a hybridized d configuration of Mn atoms in Fe/(Ga, Mn)As, with negligible Mn diffusion and/or MnFe intermixing. We show by experiment as well as by theory that the magnetic moment of the Mn ions couples antiparallel to the moment of the Fe overlayer.

Abstract
A colloidal system of spheres interacting with both a deep and narrow attractive potential and a shallow long-ranged barrier exhibits a prepeak in the static structure factor. This peak can be related to an additional mesoscopic length scale of clusters and/or voids in the system. Simulation studies of this system have revealed that it vitrifies upon increasing the attraction into a gel-like solid at intermediate densities. The dynamics at the mesoscopic length scale corresponding to the prepeak represents the slowest mode in the system. Using mode coupling theory with all input directly taken from simulations, we reveal the mechanism for glassy arrest in the system at 40% packing fraction. The effects of the low-q peak and of polydispersity are considered in detail. We demonstrate that the local formation of physical bonds is the process whose slowing down causes arrest. It remains largely unaffected by the large-scale heterogeneities, and sets the clock for the slow cluster mode. Results from mode-coupling theory without adjustable parameters agree semiquantitatively with the local density correlators but overestimate the lifetime of the mesoscopic structure (voids).

Abstract
The question of the existence of a structural glass transition in two dimensions is studied using mode coupling theory (MCT). We determine the explicit d dependence of the memory functional of mode coupling for one-component systems. Applied to two dimensions we solve the MCT equations numerically for monodisperse hard disks. A dynamic glass transition is found at a critical packing fraction phi(c)d=2 approximately equal 0.697 which is above phi(c)d=3 approximately equal 0.516 by about 35%. Phi(c)d scales approximately with phi(rcp)d, the value for random close packing, at least for d=2, 3. Quantities characterizing the local, cooperative "cage motion" do not differ much for d=2 and d=3, and we, e.g., find the Lindemann criterion for the localization length at the glass transition. The final relaxation obeys the superposition principle, collapsing remarkably well onto a Kohlrausch law. The d=2 MCT results are in qualitative agreement with existing results from Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations. The mean-squared displacements measured experimentally for a quasi-two-dimensional binary system of dipolar hard spheres can be described satisfactorily by MCT for monodisperse hard disks over four decades in time provided the experimental control parameter Gamma (which measures the strength of dipolar interactions) and the packing fraction phi are properly related to each other.

Abstract
Recent simulations have predicted that near jamming for collections of spherical particles, there will be a discontinuous increase in the mean contact number Z at a critical volume fraction phi(c). Above phi(c), Z and the pressure P are predicted to increase as power laws in phi-phi(c). In experiments using photoelastic disks we corroborate a rapid increase in Z at phi(c) and power-law behavior above phi(c) for Z and P. Specifically we find a power-law increase as a function of phi-phi(c) for Z-Z(c) with an exponent beta around 0.5, and for P with an exponent psi around 1.1. These exponents are in good agreement with simulations. We also find reasonable agreement with a recent mean-field theory for frictionless particles.

Abstract
Nearly logarithmic decay is identified in the data for the mean-squared displacement of the colloidal hard-sphere system at the liquid-glass transition [W. van Megen, Phys. Rev. E 58, 6073 (1998)]. The solutions of the mode-coupling theory for the microscopic equations of motion fit the experimental data well. Based on these equations, the nearly logarithmic decay is explained as the equivalent of a beta-peak phenomenon, a manifestation of the critical relaxation when the coupling between of the probe variable and the density fluctuations is strong. In an asymptotic expansion, a Cole-Cole formula including corrections is derived from the microscopic equations of motion, which describes the experimental data for three decades in time.

Abstract
Nearly logarithmic decay of correlations, which was observed for several supercooled liquids in optical-Kerr-effect experiments [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2437 (2000)]; Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 197401 (2003)]], is explained within the mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions as a manifestation of the beta-peak phenomenon. A schematic model, which describes the dynamics by only two correlators, one referring to density fluctuations and the other to the reorientational fluctuations of the molecules, yields for strong rotation-translation coupling response functions in agreement with those measured for benzophenone and Salol for the time interval extending from 2 ps to about 20 and 200 ns, respectively.

Abstract
Within the mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions, the mean-squared displacement and the correlation function for density fluctuations are evaluated for a colloidal liquid of particles interacting with a square-well potential for states near the crossing of the line for transitions to a gel with the line for transitions to a glass. It is demonstrated how the dynamics is ruled by the interplay of the mechanisms of arrest due to hard-core repulsion and due to attraction-induced bond formation as well as by a nearby higher-order glass-transition singularity. Application of the universal relaxation laws for the slow dynamics near glass-transition singularities explains the qualitative features of the calculated time dependence of the mean-squared displacement, which are in accord with the findings obtained in molecular-dynamics simulation studies by Zaccarelli et al. [Phys. Rev. E 66, 041402 (2002)]. Correlation functions found by photon-correlation spectroscopy in a micellar system by Mallamace et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5431 (2000)] can be interpreted qualitatively as a crossover from gel to glass dynamics.

Abstract
The slow dynamics for a colloidal suspension of particles interacting with a hard-core repulsion complemented by a short-ranged attraction is discussed within the frame of mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions for parameter points near a higher-order glass-transition singularity. The solutions of the equations of motion for the density correlation functions are solved for the square-well system in quantitative detail by asymptotic expansion using the distance of the three control parameters-packing fraction, attraction strength and attraction range-from their critical values as small parameters. For given wave vectors, distinguished surfaces in parameter space are identified where the next-to-leading-order contributions for the expansion vanish so that the decay functions exhibit a logarithmic decay over large time intervals. For both coherent and tagged particle dynamics the leading-order logarithmic decay is accessible in the liquid regime for wave vectors of several times the principal peak in the structure factor. The logarithmic decay in the correlation function is manifested in the mean-squared displacement as a subdiffusive power law with an exponent varying sensitively with the control parameters. Shifting parameters through the distinguished surfaces, the correlation functions and the logarithm of the mean-squared displacement considered as functions of the logarithm of the time exhibit a crossover from concave to convex behavior, and a similar scenario is obtained when varying the wave vector.

Abstract
Within the mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions, an analysis of the correlation functions of glass-forming systems for states near higher-order glass-transition singularities is presented. It is shown that the solutions of the equations of motion can be asymptotically expanded in polynomials of the logarithm of time t. In leading order, a ln(t) law is obtained, and the leading corrections are given by a fourth-order polynomial. The correlators interpolate between three scenarios. First, there are surfaces in parameter space where the dominant corrections to the ln(t) law vanish, so that the logarithmic decay governs the structural relaxation process. Second, the dynamics due to the higher-order singularity can describe the initial and intermediate part of the alpha process thereby reducing the range of validity of von Schweidler's law and leading to strong alpha relaxation stretching. Third, the ln(t) law can replace the critical decay law of the beta process, leading to a particularly large crossover interval between the end of the transient and the beginning of the alpha process. This may lead to susceptibility spectra below the band of microscopic excitations exhibiting two peaks. Typical results of the theory are demonstrated for models dealing with one and two correlation functions.

Abstract
Ultrasound of carotid arteries belongs to non-invasive, safe, and comparatively inexpensive methods of the subclinical phase arteriosclerosis detection. It allows identification of atherosclerosis plaques, which can be found in higher numbers in elderly persons. Measurement of intima-media thickness (IMT) belongs to the time-proven methods and it represents an independent indicator of the risk of the cerebro-vascular event, coronary event including the myocardial infarction, and lower limbs ischaemic disease. In asymptomatic forms in persons over 45 years, the meticulous IMT examination can bring an additional information on the traditional risk factors, specify further the risks of cardio-vascular events, and help to elaborate the extent of preventive measures.

Abstract
The transition from a liquid to a glass in colloidal suspensions of particles interacting through a hard core plus an attractive square-well potential is studied within the mode-coupling-theory framework. When the width of the attractive potential is much shorter than the hard-core diameter, a reentrant behavior of the liquid-glass line and a glass-glass-transition line are found in the temperature-density plane of the model. For small well-width values, the glass-glass-transition line terminates in a third-order bifurcation point, i.e., in a A3 (cusp) singularity. On increasing the square-well width, the glass-glass line disappears, giving rise to a fourth-order A4 (swallow-tail) singularity at a critical well width. Close to the A3 and A4 singularities the decay of the density correlators shows stretching of huge dynamical windows, in particular logarithmic time dependence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased mortality of hypopituitary adults with atherosclerotic vascular disease is commonly explained by growth hormone deficiency and forms the main argument for the growth hormone replacement. At the same time it is known that the growth hormone-IGF-I axis stimulates the vessel wall proliferation as an initial step of atherosclerosis. Investigation of the arterial intima thickness in hypopituitary adults with duplex ultrasound system and its follow up during the growth hormone therapy may clarify these effects of growth hormone on the vessel wall. METHODS AND RESULTS Luminal diameter, maximal blood flow velocity and arterial intima thickness of common carotid arteries was measured with colour duplex ultrasound system in 15 adults with hypopituitarism before and after one year therapy with recombinant growth hormone. The results were compared with healthy controls matched for gender, age, blood pressure and weight. The luminal diameter did not changed during the therapy with growth hormone and was the same in patients and controls. Maximal blood velocity in hypopituitary patients before the therapy was lower than in control subjects (74.8 +/- 13.9 cm/s vs. 94.0 +/- 21.0 cm/s), but the statistical difference was only borderline. Arterial intima thickness was significantly thinner in hypopituitary patients when compared with controls (0.56 +/- 0.1 mm vs. 0.71 +/- 0.12 mm, p < 0.001) but became thicker after the treatment and was not any more different from the controls (0.56 +/- 0.1 mm vs. 0.66 +/- 0.1 mm, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In hypopituitary adults the arterial intima thickness of common carotid arteries is less than in healthy controls. The reduced thickness was normalised after one year treatment with growth hormone. Atheromatous plaques were not found either before or after the treatment. Duplex ultrasound measurement may be one of the means of checking of the effects of growth hormone therapy.

Abstract
Biochemical markers of early changes that are characteristic for diabetic microangiopathy are not completely understood. We investigated activities of serum N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), tissue plasminogen activator and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase in well defined groups of type 1 diabetic patients. Patients were selected on the basis of 4 year follow-up observation. Forty-two type 1 diabetic patients were subdivided into those without retinopathy (n = 13) throughout the study, those with newly developed or worsened retinopathy (n = 12) during 4 years and those with retinopathy already established at the beginning of the study and without evidence of its progression (n = 17). All diabetic patients had albustix-negative urine. A significant increase of the mean serum NAG activity during 4 years was found only in patients without retinopathy (P < 0.01) whereas no changes of the altered enzyme activities were present in patients with developing and established retinopathy. The mean activity of tissue plasminogen activator was elevated in all groups of diabetic patients compared with healthy subjects (P < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between plasminogen activator and serum NAG (r = 0.51, P < 0.01). Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase was higher in diabetic patients than in healthy persons (P < 0.01) but no differences were observed between the patients with or without retinopathy. Superoxide dismutase positively correlated with NAG (r = 0.57, P < 0.01). We conclude that early functional changes precede a morphological development of diabetic retinopathy as was evident from the altered enzyme activities.

Abstract
The authors investigated a group of 47 type I diabetics in a prospective study extending over 8 years. Every year they evaluated the albuminuria and the N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity in serum and urine and the results were compared with the state of compensation of diabetes and with the clinical finding on the ocular fundus. During the eight-year period newly manifested microalbuminuria developed in 8 of 32 patients (25%) who at the onset had a normal finding. In patients with newly manifested microalbuminuria the authors found a significant rise of the fructosamine serum concentration (p < 0.05) and at the same time a rise of serum NAG activity (p < 0.05). A positive correlation was proved between the serum NAG activity and glycated haemoglobin (r = 0.67, p < 0.01). In 13 patients (28%) in the course of the eight-year period the finding on the ocular fundus deteriorated. In these patients the NAG serum activity was elevated already at the onset of the investigation, while albuminuria rose in the course of the mentioned period. Dynamic changes of the NAG serum activity along with albuminuria can serve as bio-chemical markers of developing microangiopathy the manifestation of which is hastened by deteriorated compensation of diabetes.

Abstract
Fifty patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus were observed over 6 years. Serum and urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity, and albuminuria were measured in groups of patients subdivided according to ophthalmological findings. Significantly higher mean serum NAG activity was found at the beginning of the study in patients who later developed diabetic retinopathy in comparison with those who did not (geometric mean (2SD range) 19.7 (12.4-31.2) vs 14.4 (9.5-22.7) U l-1, p less than 0.01). Urinary NAG activity was significantly higher in all groups of diabetic patients than in healthy control subjects (p less than 0.05). A significant increase in albumin:creatinine ratio during the study was found in patients with newly developed diabetic retinopathy compared with patients who did not (at 6 years 1.33 (0.40-4.43) vs 0.75 (0.24-2.31) g mol-1, p less than 0.01). No differences in either biochemical variable were found between hypertensive and normotensive diabetic patients at the end of the study. The results suggest that both serum NAG activity and albuminuria may serve as early functional indicators of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
28 obese women were investigated in the course of the 21st (A) and 30th (B) week of pregnancy. Increased serum levels of GH, T4 and T3 were found in both samples of blood (A and B), while serum insulin, cholesterol and triacylglycerols were increased only at time B. It was suggested that the similar increase of GH, T4 and T3 at time A and B was due to pregnancy because the level of these hormones is usually not increased in non-pregnant obese women, while hyperinsulinemia and often increased values of cholesterol and triacylglycerols are a common finding in non-pregnant obesity. This presumption was confirmed only partially--body weight and the skin folds correlated only with insulin and T3, while GH, cortisol, T4, cholesterol and triacylglycerols correlated only exceptionally. High levels of insulin and T3 may be due to overeating.

Abstract
Fourteen diabetic women without signs of nephropathy were examined during pregnancy. Serum fructosamine concentration indicating short-term metabolic control of diabetes was normalized at the beginning of the second trimester and was within the normal limits till the delivery. A gradual increase of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activity in serum and urine has been found during pregnancy in diabetic and healthy women. No significant differences of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activities were observed between the above groups. A successive increase of albuminuria during pregnancy was present in diabetic and healthy women with about 10-times higher values at delivery. A significant positive correlation was observed between albuminuria and urinary NAG activity in both groups of pregnant women (r = 0.77). We did not find any deterioration in N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activities and albuminuria in seven diabetic women one year after delivery.

Abstract
Single-unit recordings from visual afferents in the pretectal neuropil of Salamandra salamandra were performed to characterize the properties of direction specific units which are probably involved in the optokinetic reflex. It was shown that afferents from the contralateral eye were more sharply tuned than those from the ipsilateral eye. However, the majority of both were selective for temporonasal movements.
