Energy spectra and angular distributions of evaporated protons from the reaction $^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$${(}^{34}$S, 2p2n${)}^{82}$Sr at 130 MeV were measured in coincidence with discrete \ensuremath{\gamma} transitions. Large shifts and changes in the shape of the proton spectra were observed when high-spin states in different rotational bands are populated. They are interpreted as due to near-yrast stretched proton emission, which preferentially populates the yrast band by subbarrier protons.

Isomeric transitions, of E3, M2, and E1/M2 character, depopulating pi-tildeh/sub 9/2/xnu-tildei/sub 13/2/ bands in /sup 186,188,190/Tl, respectively, have been found with use of ..gamma..-ray spectroscopic techniques. The changes in multipolarity reflect successive changes in the bandhead spin values corresponding to level crossings within the pi-tildeh/sub 9/2/xnu-tildei/sub 13/2/ system. These crossings were predicted in the framework of the two-quasiparticle plus rotor model and interpreted as a direct consequence of the depletion of the i/sub 13/2/ shell.
