    Notes: Summary The central organization of anticipatory postural adjustments was investigated by examining the influence of preparatory set on the temporal relationship between postural and arm (focal) muscle activation. Surface EMG was recorded from the right tibialis anterior, lateral gastrocnemius, anterior deltoid and posterior deltoid muscles when pushing or pulling on a stiff handle. Preparatory set was manipulated by informing the subject of the upcoming direction of responding with a 80, 50 or 20% certainty. This created high, neutral and low levels of preparatory set, respectively. All six subjects showed activation of postural muscles in advance of focal muscles for both push and pull responses. However, only three subjects showed the expected effect of preparatory set on reaction time performance, i.e., an increase of reaction time with decreasing response probability. For these three subjects, the time between the activation of postural and focal muscles was the same for the high and neutral levels of preparatory set, but increased with a low level of preparatory set. The increased postural-focal latency for the low preparatory set condition was due to a longer delay for the activation of the focal muscles but not the postural muscles. This finding suggests that anticipatory postural adjustments and the activation of focal muscles are triggered by separate motor commands.

    Notes: Summary The effect of angiotensin infusion on the glomerular ultrastructure of freshwater- and seawater-adapted rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, has been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Adaptation of trout to seawater resulted in epithelial podocyte flattening, primary process broadening and apparent loss of foot processes in almost all glomeruli, features which were uncommon in freshwater-adapted trout. Similar changes were induced by infusion of freshwater-adapted animals with angiotensin, suggesting that the renin-angiotensin system plays a role in the modification of glomerular epithelial ultrastructure. Adaptation of trout to seawater also reduced glomerular diameter, but infusion of freshwater-adapted animals with angiotensin did not mirror this effect. Infusion of angiotensin into seawater-adapted animals increased the overall thickness of glomerular basement membrane by increasing the lamina rara interna and lamina densa. This did not occur when freshwater-adapted fish were either infused with angiotensin or adapted to seawater. These findings suggest that other humoral systems are involved in the control of glomerular diameter and basement membrane thickness as part of an integrated response to increased environmental salinity.

    Notes: Two aromatic polysulfones, poly(oxy-1,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenyleneoxy-1,4-phenyleneisopropylidene-1,4-phenylene) (I) and poly (oxy-1,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenylene) (II), undergo crosslinking and chain scission at 30°C during γ-irradiation, the former being predominant in vacuum and the latter in air. Both processes occurred more readily in I, which contains isopropylidene linkages. Gel measurements gave G(crosslink) = 0.051, G(scission) = 0.012 for this polymer at 30°C in vacuum. Increased irradiation temperatures resulted in higher crosslinking and gas yields, especially above the glass transition temperature. The tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of I were unaffected by γ-irradiation up to about 50 Mrad in air, but the strength decreased markedly at higher doses. The elongation at break decreased progressively with dose. For both polymers, G(gas) = 0.04 at 30°C with the main products being SO2, H2, CO2, CH4, and H2O.

    Description / Table of Contents: Einfluß von Chlorwasserstoff auf die Korrosion einer FeCrAlY-Legierung in einer simulierten KohlevergasungsatmosphäreEie Chrom-Aluminium-Yttrium-Stahl wurde einer simulierten Kohlevergasungsatmosphäre ausgesetzt die 1000 ppm bzw. 2200 ppm Chlorwasserstoff enthielt und deren Temperatur 450 °C betrug. Durch Erhöhen des Chlorwasserstoffgehalts werden die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit erhöht und die Mikrostruktur sowie die Zusammensetzung des Korrosionsprodukts beträchtlich verändert. Für diese Ergebnisse werden versuchsweise Mechanismen postuliert, nach denen Metallchloride über die Gasphase transportiert werden.
    Notes: An iron chromium aluminium yttrium steel was exposed to a simulated coal gasifier atmosphere containing 1000 ppm and 2200 ppm hydrogen chloride at 450 °C. Increasing hydrogen chloride content was found to accelerate reaction rates, and significantly alter the microstructure and composition of the corrosion product. Tentative explanations for these results, involving vapour phase transport of metal chlorides are proposed.

    Notes: The aromatic polysulfone poly(oxy-1,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenyleneoxy-1,4-phenyleneiso-propylidene-1,4-phenylene) (I) showed no change in flexural yield strength after doses of γ-radiation up to 600 Mrad in vacuum at 35,80, and 125°C (Tg = 190°C)). However, the flexural strength decreased markedly with doses above 100 Mrad on irradiation in air, to 40-60% of the initial value after 200-400 Mrad, depending on the sample and the irradiation conditions. Chain crosslinking was predominant over scission for irradiation in vacuum at all temperatures; (G(X), G(S), and G(S)/G(X) increased with the irradiation temperature, but G(S)/G(X) decreased to zero above Tg. Poly(oxy-1,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenylene) (II) behaved similarly, except that the flexural strength was found to be very dependent on the thermal treatment of the sample. This polymer showed a remarkable retention of its mechanical properties on irradiation up to 200°C (Tg = 230°C) in the absence of air, the flexural strength being retained up to 500 Mrad. Radiation annealing occurred at 35°C in vacuum and air and combined radiation and thermal annealing at 125 and 220°C. Progressive removal of surface layers from flexural test bars of I irradiated in air showed that the decrease in flexural strength with dose could be explained by a decrease in the molecular weight towards the surface resulting from radiation-oxidation reactions.

    Notes: A scanning system has been installed on a Cameca IMS 3f ion microscope. The system has been invaluable for alignment of secondary ion extraction to the centre of the crater during depth profiling, detection of inclusions and lateral inhomogeneities during depth profiling and compensation of charging of insulators using an electron flood gun. Limitations of the standard gun have become apparent.

    Notes: Depth distributions of X-ray production by electrons in the energy range of six to fifteen key have been measured for Si and Cu characteristic X-rays in matrices of Al, Ni, Ag and Au. Corrections from these curves show that the modified Philibert absorption correction predicts the wrong dependence on matrix atomic number at these low electron energies, while the Duncomb and Reed atomic number correction shows too strong a dependence on atomic number. The curves should be valuable for comparison with both theoretical and empirical models for quantitative analysis at low energies.
