The barriers to ring interconversion were estimated using variable temperature NMR spectroscopy and from the calculated activation energies, together with the spin-lattice relaxation times of the CH2 carbon atoms, conclusions were drawn regarding the intramolecular flexibility of the crown ethers in both the free state as well as the complexed state incorporating either AgI, BiIII, SbIII, PdII or PtII metal cations. Furthermore, both the stoichiometry of the complexes and the coordination sites of the crown ethers to the various cations were also clearly implicated. Molecular modelling was also utilised to ascertain the preferred conformers of the four compounds and their corresponding complexes, the results of which corroborated the experimental NMR results to a high degree.

T1 - European Versification : the Effect of Literacy N2 - A report of Mikhail Gasparov's 1989 book on the 'History of European Versification' is the starting point of the discussion in this article of the types of versification found in the Insular Celtic literatures from their first documenation in the early middle ages to the present day, as Gasparov's survey does not cover these poetries. It is claimed here that their metrical constraints were pre-literate and first and foremost geared at aural reception. The introduction of writing led to an increase in metrical sophistication which, while still basically oral, because of the process of "prelecting" (i.e. reading out aloud to illiterate or semi-literate audiences), required a very careful appreciation of their metrical skills. Contact with English and French syllabic poetry in the later middle ages and particularly in the modern period produced so-called "free verse" poetry. The word "free" in this particular context meant that the rather loose metrical constraints of these majority literatures in no way compared with the extraordinarily high metrical sophistication of the native oral derived or "bardic" poetry.

Therefore, the pattern of settlement of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) larvae at different depths was studied in Lake Constance. Maximum densities of larvae and newly settled juvenile mussels were observed at 4m depth, while only single settlement episodes were recorded at greater depths (15 m and 30 m). Temperature fluctuation was used as a surrogate parameter for internal seiches. Biotic and abiotic parameters were subjected to a principal component analysis (PCA). The tight coupling of the internal seiches, larval abundance and settlement at 4-m depth vs. the lack of coupling of the latter two variables at greater depths indicated that water currents transported settling larvae to the substrata at greater depth. Our data suggest that physical factors, such as boundary mixing and internal seiches, should be considered as sources of variability in settlement. Y1 - 2003 ER -
