    Description / Table of Contents: Resume On décrit l’application de l’imagerie de résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN) à la mesure de distributions de teneur en eau dans le calcaire Lépine, pierre de construction type. On présente les résultats d’une expérience où l’eau est absorbée librement par capillarité de l’extrémité d’une barre rectangulaire. On utilise l’imagerie RMN pour contrôler la vitesse d’absorption de l’eau. On obtient, par l’analyse des images, les distributions à l’intérieur de l’échantillon en fonction du temps. Les distributions de teneur en eau concordent avec l’application de la théorie de l’écoulement en milieu non saturé. La diffusivité hydraulique et le coefficient de sorption se calculent à partir des profiels d’absorption d’eau. Le coefficient de diffusion de la pierre de Lépine est une fonction approximativement exponentielle de la teneur en eau, conforme aux données expérimentales des autres matériaux poreux. La meilleure estimation de la fonction de diffusion est D (m2s−1) = 6.3 × 10−9 exp (4.90θ r), oùθ r est la teneur en eau volumétrique normalisée. Le coefficient de sorption évaluée à partir des données RMN concorde tout à fait avec la mesure directe (1,00 mm min−1/2). Les méthodes d’imagerie RMN semblent prometteuses en tant que technique de laboratoire non-destructive et rapide pour déterminer les distributions d’humidité, et en particulier, mesurer avec précision les propriétés de mouvement d’eau par capillarité de matériaux poreux.
    Notes: Abstract We report the application of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging to the measurement of water content distributions in Lépine limestone, a typical constructional stone. The method is used to observe the kinetics of the absorption of water into this material by capillarity. The water content distributions are consistent with the predictions of unsaturated flow theory. The hydraulic diffusivity of Lépine stone is found to be an approximately exponential function of the water content, in agreement with experimental data on other porous materials. The best estimate of the diffusivity function is D (m2s−1) = 6.3 × 10−9 exp (4.90θ r), whereθ r is the normalized volumetric water content. The sorptivity estimated from NMR data is in close agreement with the directly measured value (1.00 mm min−1/2). NMR imaging methods appear promising as a non-destructive and rapid laboratory means of determining moisture distributions, especially for the purpose of accurate measurement of the capillary transport properties of porous materials.

    Notes: Summary The effects of a large intracranial arterial subdural bleeding on regional blood flow in the brain (rCBF) and in other body organs were studied, using a porcine model. The bleeding was produced by leading blood through a catheter from the abdominal aorta via an electronic drop recorder into the subdural compartment (SDC) over the left cerebral hemisphere. Pressures in the right lateral cerebral ventricle and in the cisterna magna were recorded along with 15 other vital parameters. Measurements of rCBF were carried out using radioactive microspheres 1) before the start of bleeding, 2) during the early bleeding phase, and 3) during the late bleeding phase. When the bleeding was initiated, the intracranial pressures rose within one minute to a level approximately 40 mmHg below the systemic arterial pressure, whilst the latter usually decreased 30–40 mmHg. In the subsequent early bleeding phase the cerebral perfusion pressure and the bleeding pressure fluctuated at a level of approximately 40 mmHg for several minutes. In the late bleeding phase, the perfusion pressure decreased maximally, even when a Cushing reaction was activated. During the early bleeding phase the changes in rCBF varied between the cerebral regions. However, the mean flow remained largely constant in the presence of a decreasing cerebrovascular resistance, indicating that autoregulation of CBF was intact. Concomitantly, cardiac output and heart rate decreased, whilst regional blood flow in extracerebral organs tended to increase, possibly due to an intracranial effect on the autonomic nervous system. In the late bleeding phase, rCBF was critically reduced in all regions, in spite of a marked rise in systemic arterial pressure. The peripheral vascular resistance usually increased by 100% in the brain, but possibly increased also in the majority of extracerebral organs. Exceptions were the adrenal gland and the heart muscle where the vascular resistance was 70% lower, and flow was 35% and 80% higher, respectively, than in the control situation. The integrated effects of the different vascular reactions served to enhance intracranial haemostasis and survival.

    Notes: Abstract 55 accessions of wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) introduced from South America were analyzed for seed storage protein composition using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The objectives of the study were to evaluate variability within sect.Arachis and to classify taxa based on protein composition. 25 different band positions were resolved. Individual accessions had 11 to 18 bands which included the conarachin region (MW 〉 50 kD), two to five bands in the acidic arachin region (MW 38–49.9 kD), three to seven in the intermediate MW region (23 to 37.9 kD), two to five bands in the basic arachin region (18–22.9 kD), and one to three bands in the low MW protein region (14–17.9 kD). These data were utilized in a principal coordinate analysis based on the matrix of genetic distances between all pairs of the 55 accessions. Several groups of accessions conformed to expected species classification includingA. batizocoi, A. stenosperma, andA. monticola; whileA. duranensis, A. cardenasii, A. helodes, andA. correntina did not form good groups. The study showed that great diversity exists for protein profiles and seed storage proteins have potential for aiding species classification and for serving as markers for interspecific hybridization studies.

    Notes: Abstract Maori images have long been a part of the international tourist image of New Zealand. However, Maori people have increasingly been asserting their rights to control and manage their own resources. The purpose of the present paper is to analyse the implications of Maori perspectives on the promotion, interpretation and management of tourism resources and to discuss the potential short and long-term implications of such perspectives on tourism development. The paper discusses the implications of the Waitangi Tribunal hearings and the overall assertion of Maori rights over tourism resources. While the articulation of Maori rights is by no means universal, several case studies illustrate potential implications of Maori control and ownership for the New Zealand tourism industry. The paper concludes that the implementation of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi provides a basis for reconciling the interpretive and management demands of Maoritanga with the tourism industry in a manner which can have positive outcomes for both.

    Notes: A steady-state method recently proposed for measuring two-phase flow properties of a porous medium is supplemented by NMR imaging for measuring the saturation gradients which are allowed to persist in the specimen. The method relies on a strong capillary end effect which is assumed to be enforced by an outlet capillary pressure boundary condition, but direct verification of this has not hitherto been available. For constant flow rates, incremented stepwise, steady-state profiles of hydrocarbon saturation So are obtained which agree with predictions that they be monotonic, nonintersecting, and convex.Using D2O for the aqueous phase allows unambiguous detection of hydrocarbon by NMR, and imaging measurements of transverse relaxation time T2 were included in the protocol. T2 shows a dependence on So which is mild but not negligible for quantitative NMR imaging.

    Notes: The computational method for large deformation plasticity called differential equations on a manifold (DEM) has previously been shown to be effective for axisymmetric and plane strain sheet metal forming problems. The method has now been formulated for in-plane stretching problems, incorporated into a computer code, and applied to several problems. The code's performance is robust and accurate, as evidenced by a comparison with other published results. Incorporation of an automatic mesh generator significantly reduces data preparation time.
