    Notes: We describe the use of a unique plant growth facility, which has as its centerpiece four ‘EcoCELLs’, or 5x7 m mesocosms designed as open-flow, mass-balance systems for the measurement of carbon, water and trace gas fluxes. This system is unique in that it was conceived specifically to bridge the gap between measurement scales during long-term experiments examining the function and development of model ecosystems. There are several advantages to using EcoCELLs, including (i) the same theory of operation as leaf level gas exchange systems, but with continuous operation at a much larger scale: (ii) the ability to independently evaluate canopy-level and ecosystem models; (iii) simultaneous manipulation of environmental factors and measurement of system-level responses, and (iv) maximum access to, and manipulation of, a large rooting volume.In addition to discussing the theory, construction and relative merits of EcoCELLs, we describe the calibration and use of the EcoCELLs during a ‘proof of concept’ experiment. This experiment involved growing soybeans under two ambient CO2 concentrations (−360 and 710μmol mol−1. During this experiment, we asked ‘How accurate is the simplest model that can be used to scale from leaf-level to canopy-level responses?’ in order to illustrate the utility of the EcoCELLs in validating canopy-scale models.

    Notes: Summary Cardiac tamponade following open heart surgery is well described, although, fortunately, uncommon. Unlike more classical “primary” tamponade, the clinical features are not specific, and this can delay diagnosis. In practice, the threshold for investigation must be low, and echocardiography has been invaluable in the detection and localization of pericardial collections. Several factors are believed to contribute to the likelihood of postoperative tamponade, but the mechanisms are not clearly understood. Resternotomy, under general anesthesia, or subxiphoid pericardiotomy, under local or general anesthesia, are effective forms of treatment. However, recent success with the use of percutaneous pericardiocentesis under echocardiographic guidance has shown that postoperative tamponade can be treated safely and effectively by this method.

    Notes: The kinetics and mechanism of the gas-phase reaction of Cl atoms with CH2CO have been studied with a FTIR spectrometer/smog chamber apparatus. Using relative rate methods the rate of reaction of Cl atoms with ketene was found to be independent of total pressure over the range 1-700 torr of air diluent with a rate constant of (2.7 ± 0.5) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 295 K. The reaction proceeds via an addition mechanism to give a chloroacetyl radical (CH2ClCO) which has a high degree of internal excitation and undergoes rapid unimolecular decomposition to give a CH2Cl radical and CO. Chloroacetyl radicals were also produced by the reaction of Cl atoms with CH2ClCHO; no decomposition was observed in this case. The rates of addition reactions are usually pressure dependent with the rate increasing with pressure reflecting increased collisional stabilization of the adduct. The absence of such behavior in the reaction of Cl atoms with CH2CO combined with the fact that the reaction rate is close to the gas kinetic limit is attributed to preferential decomposition of excited CH2ClCO radicals to CH2Cl radicals and CO as products as opposed to decomposition to reform the reactants. As part of this work ab initio quantum mechanical calculations (MP2/6-31G(d,p)) were used to derive ΔfH298(CH2ClCO) = -(5.4 ± 4.0) kcal mol-1. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
