In the dinuclear and polynuclear metal complexes exhibiting the low-spin (LS) to high-spin (HS) transition, the spin-crossover phenomenon interferes with the magnetic exchange interaction. The latter manifests itself in forming spin-multiplets, which causes a possible overlap of the band originating in different reference spin states (LL, LH, HL, and HH). A series of dinuclear Fe(III) complexes has been prepared; the iron centers are linked by a bidentate bridge (CN-, and diamagnetic metallacyanates {Fe(CN)5(NO)}, {Ni(CN)4}, {Pt(CN)4}, and {Ag(CN)2}). Magnetic measurements confirm that the spin crossover proceeds on the thermal propagation. This information has been completed also by the Mössbauer spectral (MS) data. A theoretical model has been developed that allows a simultaneous fitting of all available experimental data (magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, HS mole fraction) on a common set of parameters.

Cardiovascular molecular imaging with targeted nanoparticles has emerged as a promising method for early detection of atherosclerosis and vulnerable plaque. However, traditional pharmacokinetic models for diffusible drugs are inadequate to describe the efficacy of nanoparticle carriers of diagnostic and therapeutic cargos. To quantify blood and MRI tissue signals from gadolinium-loaded nanoparticles (Gd-NP) targeted to avb3 integrins expressed on angiogenic capillaries in the aortas of cholesterol-fed rabbit, a novel 4 compartment open PK model was developed that utilized a unique simultaneous fitting scheme. In 10 rabbits fed 0.25% cholesterol for 3 months, the concentration of nanoparticles was measured serially from blood samples after injection of 1 ml/kg of targeted or nontargeted Gd-NP. The MRI proton signatures emanating from nanoparticles bound to the expanded vasa vasorum of the descending thoracic aorta was computed for all aortic cross sections in 1.5T T1w fa-suppressed spin-echo images. Based on the PK analysis, the concentration of targeted nanoparticles in the aortic wall is double that of non-targeted nanoparticles. Notably, this signal enhancement is achieved with 20x less gadolinium (4.6x10 −3 mmol Gd/kg BW) as compared with the dose of conventional gadolinium agents (0.1 mmol/kg). Further, the PK analysis shows that the targeted nanoparticles are more than three times more effective at reaching the aortic wall. These results should facilitate development and use of nanotechnologies intended for early detection of atherosclerosis and provide enhanced understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of active targeting of plaque angiogenesis.

Martin and Walker ((1997) J. Appl. Prob. 34, 657–670) proposed the power-law ρ(v) = c|v|-β, |v| ≥ 1, as a correlation model for stationary time series with long-memory dependence. A straightforward proof of their conjecture on the permissible range of c is given, and various other models for long-range dependence are discussed. In particular, the Cauchy family ρ(v) = (1 + |v/c|α)-β/α allows for the simultaneous fitting of both the long-term and short-term correlation structure within a simple analytical model. The note closes with hints at the fast and exact simulation of fractional Gaussian noise and related processes.

Direct CCD images of the gravitationally lensed BAL quasar H1413+117 (Bessel B, V, R, I; Gunn r and i), obtained during 1989-1994 in the framework of photometric monitorings at ESO and with the NOT, have been carefully (re-)analyzed. Simultaneous fitting of 4 PSFs, fixing the relative positions of components B, C and D with respect to A, has been achieved successfully. The relative light curves of the 4 lensed QSO images, with respect to a stable nearby comparison star, confirm the general trend already presented by Arnould et al. (1993). The amplitude of the light curves is found to be about 0.5 magnitude, peak-to-peak in the V filter. The four lensed components display brightness variations quasi-simultaneously and in parallel. In addition to these intrinsic light variations due to the source, we find that component D shows extra light variations with respect to the other components. These are very likely caused by micro-lensing.
