    Notes: Abstract The incidences of clinical and biological markers of atopy were investigated in 16 children with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (group A) and in 22 with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) (group B). The incidence of increased plasma IgE levels according to age-matched normal values was significantly higher in group B (17/22, 77%) than in group A (7/16, 44%) (P〈0.05). Although not significant, the incidences of positive RAST tests and of a history of typical atopic symptoms were also higher in group B [10/22 (45%) and 11/22 (50%), respectively] than in group A [4/16 (25%) and 5/16 (31%), respectively]. Moreover, IgE deposits were demonstrated by a peroxidase/anti-peroxidase method on cutaneous Langerhans and mast cells in 4 of 6 patients with HSPN. Thus immunoallergy might account, in some cases, for the cutaneous, intestinal and pulmonary signs observed in HSPN, but not in IgAN. We postulate stimulation of IgE-sensitized mast cells by specific antigens in the presence of IgA circulating immune complexes (CIC), release of vasoactive substances, increased capillary permeability and perivascular deposition of IgA CIC.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mittels simultaner DTA-, TG- und DTG-Techniken wurden Kieselgele und die MFI-Kristalle dieser Gele untersucht. Die Gele wurden in und ohne Gegenwart von Tetrapropylammoniumkationen (TPA+) und mit Li+-, Na+-, NH 4 − und Kaliumfluoriden hergestellt. Bei Abwesenheit von TPA+ werden für Li+- und Na+-Gele keine thermischen Effekte beobachtet. Der bei NH 4− -Gelen beobachtete Effekt ergibt sich aus der Zersetzung und Abspaltung von anorganischen Phasen: SiF4, NH4F, NH3. Die DTA/DTG-Effekte in TPA+-haltigen Gelen und in den MFI-Kristallen monodispersen Ausmaes werden der Zersetzung des TPA+-Kations zugeschrieben. Daraus kann man schlieen, da die Wechselwirkung zwischen den Gelen und dem TPA+-Kation eher schwach ist. Die Wechselwirkung zwischen TPA+ und MFI-Kristallen aus fluoridischen Medien ist strker als die Wechselwirkung mit Kristallen aus alkalischen Medien. Ähnliche thermische Effekts erhlt man, nachdem man die langen Kristalle zerkleinert und eine breite Kristallgrenverteilung erhlt.
    Notes: Abstract By means of simultaneous DTA-, TG- and DTG-technique, the silicate gels and the MFI crystals obtained from these gels have been investigated. The gels have been prepared in presence and in absence of tetrapropylammonium cation (TPA+) and with Li+, Na+, NH 4 + and K+ fluorides. In absence of TPA+ no thermal effects have been observed in Li+- and Na+-gels. The effects observed in the NH 4 + -gel stem from a decomposition and release of inorganic phases: SiF4, NH4F, NH3. The DTA/DTG effects in the TPA+ containing gels and in the MFI crystals of monodisperse size are attributed to the decomposition of TPA+ cation. It can be concluded from these effects that the interaction between the gels and the TPA+ cation is rather weak. The interaction between TPA+ and MFI crystals obtained in fluoride medium is stronger than the interaction with crystals obtained from alkaline media. Similar thermal effects are obtained after grinding the long crystals to those having a large distribution of crystal sizes.

    Notes: Abstract Credible predictions of climate change depend in part on predictions of future CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Terrestrial plants are a large sink for atmospheric CO2 and the sink rate is influenced by the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Reliable field experiments are needed to evaluate how terrestrial plants will adjust to increasing CO2 and thereby influence the rate of change of atmospheric CO2. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has developed a unique Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) system for a cooperative research program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Agriculture, currently operating as the FACE User Facility at the Maricopa Agricultural Center (MAC) of the University of Arizona. The BNL FACE system is a tool for studying the effects of CO2 enrichment on vegetation and natural ecosystems, and the exchange of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere, in open-air settings without any containment. The FACE system provides stable control of CO2 at 550 ppm ±10%, based on 1-min averages, over 90% of the time. In 1990, this level of control was achieved over an area as large as 380 m2, at an annual operating cost of $668 m−2. During two field seasons of enrichment with cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) as the test plant, enrichment to 550 ppm CO2 resulted in significant increases in photosynthesis and biomass of leaves, stems and roots, reduced evapotranspiration, and changes in root morphology. In addition, soil respiration increased and evapotranspiration decreased.
