    Notes: Abstract Effects of acetylcholine (ACh) and noradrenaline (NA) on voltage-gated ion channels of sympathetic neurones acutely dissociated from rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) were examined using the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Depolarizing voltage steps elicited two types of low- and high-voltage-activated (LVA and HVA) Ca2+ currents. Pressure applications of ACh and NA produced concentration-dependent inhibition of the HVA Ca2+ current without affecting the LVA Ca2+ current. The inhibitory action of ACh on the Ca2+ current was blocked by a muscarinic antagonist, atropine. The action of NA was suppressed by an α 2-adrenergic antagonist, yohimbine, but not by an α 1-adrenergic antagonist, prazosin. Delayed rectifying outward K+ currents and inward rectifying K+ current were not affected by either ACh or NA. Tetrodotoxin-sensitive and -insensitive Na+ currents also remained unaffected under actions of ACh and NA. When recorded with electrode containing guanosine-5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-γ-S), the inhibitory actions of ACh and NA on Ca2+ currents became irreversible. After treatment of SCG neurones with pertussis toxin, the inhibitory action of ACh on the Ca2+ current was almost completely abolished, whereas the action of NA was only partially reduced. The results suggest that ACh and NA differentially inhibit the HVA Ca2+ current via different G proteins coupling muscarinic and α 2-adrenergic receptors to Ca2+ channels in rat SCG neurones.

    Notes: Abstract The quadratic failure criterion, which is intended to predict fracture, may be used as an object function for optimal stacking sequence design of laminated plate. However, calculations using a symmetric laminated plate demonstrate that Tsai-Wu theory may give incorrect optimum predictions under uniaxial loading.

    Notes: Abstract A probabilistic neural network is used here to classify flaws in weldments from their ultrasonic scattering signatures. It is shown that such a network is both simple to construct and fast to train. Probabilistic nets are also shown to be able to exhibit the high performance of other neural networks, such as feed forward nets trained via back-propagation, while possessing important advantages of speed, explicitness of their architecture, and physical meaning of their outputs. Probabilistic nets are also demonstrated to have performance equal to common statistical approaches, such as theK-nearest neighbor method, while retaining their unique advantages.
