    Notes: Summary The effect of angiotensin infusion on the glomerular ultrastructure of freshwater- and seawater-adapted rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, has been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Adaptation of trout to seawater resulted in epithelial podocyte flattening, primary process broadening and apparent loss of foot processes in almost all glomeruli, features which were uncommon in freshwater-adapted trout. Similar changes were induced by infusion of freshwater-adapted animals with angiotensin, suggesting that the renin-angiotensin system plays a role in the modification of glomerular epithelial ultrastructure. Adaptation of trout to seawater also reduced glomerular diameter, but infusion of freshwater-adapted animals with angiotensin did not mirror this effect. Infusion of angiotensin into seawater-adapted animals increased the overall thickness of glomerular basement membrane by increasing the lamina rara interna and lamina densa. This did not occur when freshwater-adapted fish were either infused with angiotensin or adapted to seawater. These findings suggest that other humoral systems are involved in the control of glomerular diameter and basement membrane thickness as part of an integrated response to increased environmental salinity.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this investigation was to anatomically identify, and then determine the function of, individual segments within the human deltoid muscle. The anatomical structure of the deltoid was determined through dissection and/or observation of the shoulder girdles of 11 male cadavers (aged 65–84 years). These results indicate that the deltoid consists of seven anatomical segments (D1–D7) based upon the distinctive arrangement of each segment's origin and insertion. Radiographic analysis of a cadaveric shoulder joint suggested that only the postero-medial segment D7 has a line of action directed below the shoulder joint's axis of rotation. The functional role of each individual segment was then determined utilising an electromyographic (EMG) technique. Seven miniature (1 mm active plate; 7 mm interelectrode distance) bipolar surface electrodes were positioned over the proximal portion of each segment's muscle belly in 18 male and female subjects (18–30 years). EMG waveforms were then recorded during the production of rapid isometric shoulder abduction and adduction force impulses with the shoulder joint in 40 degrees of abduction in the plane of the scapula. Each subject randomly performed 15 abduction and 15 adduction isometric force impulses following a short familiarisation period. All subjects received visual feed back on the duration and amplitude of each isometric force impulse produced via a visual force-time display which compared subject performance to a criterion force-time curve. Movement time was 400 ms (time-to-peak isometric force) at an intensity level of 50% maximal voluntary contraction. Temporal and intensity analyses of the EMG waveforms, as well as temporal analysis of the isometric force impulses, revealed the neuromotor control strategies utilised by the CNS to control the activity of each muscle segment. The results showed that segmental neuromotor control strategies differ across the breadth of the muscle and that individual segments of the deltoid can be identified as having either “prime mover”, “synergist”, “stabiliser” or “antagonist” functions; functional classifications normally associated with whole muscle function. Therefore, it was concluded that the CNS can “fine tune” the activity of at least six discrete segments within the human deltoid muscle to efficiently meet the demands of the imposed motor task.

    The electromyographical basis of inaccurate motor performance (1988)

    Notes: Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the electromyographical basis of inaccurate movement by identifying the variate and invariate characteristics of a ballistic, isometric precision-grip skill. Our results have shown that in most subjects investigated, IEMG, discharge rate and the paterns of muscle synergy were variate movement parameters while the sequence of muscle activation, the relative duration of muscle activity and the time to peak force (rise-time) remained essentially invariante. Based on these results, we can conclude that inaccurate performance of this skill, in most of the subjects investigated, was more dependant upon changes in muscle IEMG than in alterations in the temporal sequencing of muscle activity. It was apparent that from trial to trial, subjects had more difficulty in reproducing the appropriate levels of muscle contraction and synergy than in reproducing the required periods of action.

    Description / Table of Contents: Einfluß von Chlorwasserstoff auf die Korrosion einer FeCrAlY-Legierung in einer simulierten KohlevergasungsatmosphäreEie Chrom-Aluminium-Yttrium-Stahl wurde einer simulierten Kohlevergasungsatmosphäre ausgesetzt die 1000 ppm bzw. 2200 ppm Chlorwasserstoff enthielt und deren Temperatur 450 °C betrug. Durch Erhöhen des Chlorwasserstoffgehalts werden die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit erhöht und die Mikrostruktur sowie die Zusammensetzung des Korrosionsprodukts beträchtlich verändert. Für diese Ergebnisse werden versuchsweise Mechanismen postuliert, nach denen Metallchloride über die Gasphase transportiert werden.
    Notes: An iron chromium aluminium yttrium steel was exposed to a simulated coal gasifier atmosphere containing 1000 ppm and 2200 ppm hydrogen chloride at 450 °C. Increasing hydrogen chloride content was found to accelerate reaction rates, and significantly alter the microstructure and composition of the corrosion product. Tentative explanations for these results, involving vapour phase transport of metal chlorides are proposed.

    Notes: The fire-retardant performances of various surface coatings for naval ship interior applications have been evaluated by a number of small-scale fire test methods. The coatings were eveluated as topcoats by cone calorimetry and limiting oxygen index methods and as primer/topcoat systems by radiat heating, direct flame impingement and reverse panel heating procedures. The coatings investigated were (1) a solvent-based epoxy polyester, (2) a solvent-based fireretardant alkyd,(3) a solvent-based chlorimated alkyd and (4) a water-based acrylic. In terms of the measured parameters, the chlorinated alkyd has superior fire properties while the epoxy polyserter, the fire-retardant alkyd and parameters, the chlorinated alkyd has superior fire properties while the epoxy polyester, the fire-retardant alkyd and the acrylic have significat disadvantages in relation to fire propagation. The relatively low amount of hydrogen chloride (∼ 0.3% - mass per initial mass) evolved by the chlorinated alkyd during cone calorimetric combustion and its outstanding fire-retardant properties have resulted in it being considered acceptable for naval ship interior applications.

    Stabilization of charge on electrically insulating surfaces during SIMS experiments - experimental and theoretical studies of the specimen isolation method (1985)

    Notes: Recent experiments have shown that secondary ion mass spectrometric (SIMS) measurements of insulator surfaces can be greatly facilitated by the use of a charged aperture located immediately above the analysis area (the ‘specimen isolation technique’). This allows the surface potential within the aperture area to be stabilized. Charging is stabilized when the potential difference between the surface and the aperture becomes large enough that excessive charge, in the form of secondary electrons, is drained away from the surface to the aperture. The potential difference generated on such insulating surfaces can be measured experimentally by varying the voltages applied to the electrostatic analyzer to measure the secondary ion intensity as a function of kinetic energy. Such measurements have been carried out on a Cameca IMS-3F instrument for a range of aperture dimensions and for different primary and secondary ions. The surface potential can be stabilized at a potential readily measurable by the electrostatic analyzer for both O- and Cs+ ion beams. The mechanism for this stabilization has been analyzed through calculations of two dimensional contours for the region around the specimen holder. For surfaces with a very high charging potential (〉600 V), potential wells which can trap ions of low kinetic energy develop near the surface. Element and oxide secondary ion kinetic energy distribution curves, taken under specimen isolation conditions, which differ from those obtained under normal non-charging SIMS conditions, are evidence for such ion trapping.
