    Notes: Abstract The effect of light exposure on the protein patterns of optic lobe and forebrain of the chick embryo was analysed by a high-resolution micro-two-dimensional polyacryamide gel electrophoresis and computerized quantitation. Experiments were done on three groups of eggs: control group was incubated in the dark; simultaneously, in the same incubator, one group of eggs was illuminated by constant light, another by intermittent light (3 sec interval) from day 10 to day 16 of incubation. In embryos exposed to intermittent light the relative amount of tubulins was significantly increased in the optic lobe. In the frontal lobe no effect of light exposure on the concentration of tubulins was seen. The rise of tubulins in the optic lobe was only caused by intermittant light. Continuous illumination of the eggs for the same period under otherwise identical incubation conditions was ineffective.

    Notes: Optically active isotactic polychloral was prepared in which the optical activity comes exclusively from molecular asymmetry (i.e., helical conformation). Molecular asymmetry requires a high conformational energy barrier for the polymer backbone, and an asymmetric initiator to induce a predominance of one helical screw-sense. Polychloral meets the criteria. Asymmetric initiators used to obtain optically active polychloral include tetramethyl ammonium (+)- or (-)-0-acetylmandelate, tetramethylammonium (+)- or (-)-0-methylmandelate, the lithiumalkoxides of methyl (+)- or (-)-mandelate, lithium cholesten-3β-oxide, lithium cholestan-3β-oxide, and lithium (+)- or (-)-2-octanoxide. Using the above initiators at 0.5 mol %, a maximum specific rotation of [α] D25 = 5000 was obtained for polychloral. Errors in specific rotation were typically ±7%.

    Notes: The acrosome of the stallion spermatozoon was visualized by indirect immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibody (18.6) which recognized an integral acrosomal membrane component. Localization was confirmed by electron microscopy using peroxidase labelled antibody. In fresh semen samples (n = 19), 73.9 ± 9.1% of the spermatozoa from five fertile stallions displayed a uniform bright fluorescence over their acrosome region. In two semen samples from an infertile stallion only 28% and 35% of spermatozoa showed the same pattern of fluorescence. Spermatozoa from fertile stallions incubated for up to 12 hours in TALP medium maintained motility and exhibited a significant progressive loss of acrosomes as detected by immunofluorescence. Alternatively, a similar loss of acrosomes could be induced with calcium ionophore A23187 over a 90 minute incubation. Ultrastructural observations and incubation with zona-free hamster eggs indicated that only with ionophore treatment was immunofluorescent acrosome loss correlated with a physiological acrosome reaction, while prolonged sperm incubation led to degenerative membrane changes. It was concluded that, if carefully validated, immunofluorescent localization of the acrosome of stallion sperm with monoclonal antibody could be used to monitor the acrosome reaction. Furthermore, definitive acrosome visualization would be valuable in assessing semen quality.

    Notes: In vitro fertilizing ability of stallion spermatozoa was assessed using horse follicular oocytes matured in vitro. After collection, stallion spermatozoa were either: 1) washed and incubated in TALP medium with 3 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 10 μg/ml heparin for 4 h, 2) washed and incubated in TALP with 3 mg/ml BSA for 3 h and cultured for a further 1 h with 1 mM caffeine and 5 mM dbcAMP, 3) washed and incubated in TALP medium with 3 mg/ml BSA at pH 7.9-8.2 for 2-4 h, or 4) diluted and incubated in TALP medium with 10 mg/ml BSA and 7.14 μM calcium ionophore A 23187 for 5-10 min followed by washing. After a given pretreatment, suspensions were diluted into B2 medium to a concentration of 5 × 106 sperm/ml and co-incubated with oocytes for 12 h or 24-48 h. In the ionophoretreated group, 18 of 54 oocytes (33%) were fertilized by 12 h, and 11 of 45 (24%) cleaved by 24-48 h. Evidence of fertilization was not found in the oocytes incubated with spermatozoa from other treatment procedures.

    Notes: Ammonium polyphosphate is shown to be an effective flame retardant for homopolymeric and selected fibre-forming copolymers of acrylonitrile. Compared with other phosphates and phosphorus-containing species, it significantly increases both limiting oxygen index and char levels. The mechanism of retardancy is shown to be both physical and chemical in character. When heated to 300°C, the polyphosphate melts and converts to polyphosphoric acid which acts as a physical barrier to surface polymer oxidation and promotes nucleophilic oligomerization of pendant, adjacent nitrile groups. A reduction in the activation energy of this first stage of acrylic polymer degradation suggests that the favoured decomposition route gives rise via oligomerization to char-promoting precursors. Char analyses indicate an empirical formula of C30H13N7P2, which compares favourably with that of a proposed phosphorylated, polynuclear, aromatic heterocyclic structure.

    Notes: We review recent results obtained at Northwestern using high-resolution electron microscopy to study high-temperature superconductors. While in general these materials form large, very perfect single crystal grains which display very few imperfections, there is also evidence of slip defects, amorphous regions, and order-disorder transformations. We also report that the gadolinium-based superconductors and in one case yttrium-based superconductors show evidence for some copper solid solubility in the form of copperrich planar defects. The structure of a metastable trigonal polytype is also reported, as are the effects of electron beam and water vapor damage to the materials.
