    Notes: Abstract The aim of this work was to compare the capacities for fermentation and synthesis of malate from phosphoenolpyruvate in roots and Rhizobium nodules of Pisum sativum. The nodules and the cortices and apices of roots had similar activities of glycolytic enzymes and enzymes of ethanolic and lactic fermentation when expressed on a protein basis. The activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase was similar in nodules and apices, and three to four fold lower in cortices. All three tissues had very high activities of malate dehydrogenase, significant activity of NADP-malic enzyme, and no detectable activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. These results do not support the belief that nodules have a substantially greater capacity to convert phosphoenolpyruvate to malate than roots, or that there are major qualitative differences in the pathways of fermentation of nodules and roots.

    Volatile components of scent material from cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus o. oedipus) (1988)

    Notes: Abstract The first chemical analysis of the volatile components of scent material from the cotton-top tamarin,Saguinus o. oedipus is presented. In contrast to our previous findings in saddle-back tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis), the chemical composition of the scent marks is quite variable. Analysis of secretion expressed manually from different areas of the scent pads of sedated animals shows individual and regional variability. Only three components (squalene, cholesterol, andp-methoxybenzaldehyde) were found in all scent mark samples analyzed. However, suprapubic secretions obtained from one sedated female contained, in addition, 12 butyrate esters as well as five acetate esters which were homologous to the butyrates. The butyrate esters have been previously identified in scent material fromSaguinus fuscicollis. The variability of the composition of the scent material is discussed in relation to the scent-marking behavior of the cotton-top tamarins. Behavioral studies tested the ability of the cotton-top tamarins to discriminate between scent marks from conspecifics and scent marks from saddle-back tamarins. The group of 12 subjects discriminated between the scent marks from both species in choice tests during which they could freely contact the scent samples. However, when scent marks were presented under a screen, so that the subjects could smell but not contact the stimuli, no discrimination was shown. Four individuals displayed more interest in the screened scent stimuli than all other subjects. When these animals were tested in a second experiment for their ability to discriminate between material from the two species on the basis of only volatile cues, it became evident that they were able to do so. These results indicate that volatile cues alone enable the tamarins to recognize scent marks from conspecifics, but that additional cues perceived during contact with the scent are important for its full attractiveness and/or informational content.

    Alcohol dehydrogenase activity in the roots of marsh plants in naturally waterlogged soils (1986)
    Springer
    Planta 168 (1986), S. 130-138 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-2048
    Keywords: Alcohol dehydrogenase ; Fermentation ; Flooding tolerance ; Marsh plant

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The aim of this work was to discover whether oxygen tensions in the roots of marsh plants in flooded soils are high enough to allow fully acrobic metabolism. Activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), a protein synthesised in anoxic plants, was measured in roots of marsh plants growing in habitats where the availability of oxygen to the roots would be expected to differ. Roots of Carex riparia in standing water had ADH activities about 2.5 times higher than those of phosphofructokinase, and comparable to ADH activities of Poa trivialis, Urtica dioica and Ranunculus repens roots in dry soil. Removal of the oxygen supply via aerenchyma to Carex roots caused a 30-fold increase in ADH activity relative to that of phosphofructokinase. There was no change in ADH activity with depth in Carex roots in waterlogged soil, but in Filipendula ulmaria roots activity was 14 times higher below 10 cm depth than near the surface. Urtica roots in waterlogged soil had alcohol dehydrogenase activities 26 times higher than roots in dry soil, but for Poa and Ranunculus roots this figure was only 1.7 and 4.2, respectively. These results indicate that the oxygen tensions in the roots of marsh plants in waterlogged soil differ considerably among species. Ethanol was the major product of fermentation in roots of all species studied. There was no correlation between ADH activity and the rate of ethanol production under anoxia of Urtica roots. The physiological significance of high ADH activities in roots is thus unclear.

    Analysis of chemical signals in a primate species (Saguinus fuscicollis): Use of behavioral, chemical, and pattern recognition methods (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Scent marking with specialized skin glands is a common behavior in the tamarin,Saguinus fuscicollis. The scent marks identify species, subspecies, gender, and individual, and they also contain information on the social position and hormonal condition of an animal. The marks are chemically complex, containing a large number of compounds. Analysis by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has identified 16 major components (squalene and 15 esters of butyric acid). These compounds are present in the marks of males and females of two subspecies,Saguinus f. fuscicollis andSaguinus f. illigeri. Application of computerized pattern recognition techniques has shown that concentration patterns of some of the butyrates are diagnostic of the two subspecies while concentration patterns of other butyrates are diagnostic of males and females regardless of subspecies. Behavioral studies have shown that the concentration patterns of butyrates and squalene alone do not encode information on subspecies and gender. It is, however, likely that this information is partially encoded by these specific butyrate-squalene concentration patterns but that yet unidentified compounds in the scent marks serve as necessary synergists.

    Notes: The flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids which obeys a power law relationship between shear stress and shear rate has been modeled in the melt conveying section of a self-wiping co-rotating twin-screw extruder using a finite element analysis of an unwound channel section. Predictions of throughput against pressure gradient are compared with experimentally obtained results for maize grits which is represented as a power law material. Rheological data applicable to extrusion simulation were obtained from capillary rheometry. Comparisons are reasonable with predicted characteristic showing similar behavior.

    Pressure losses in the packing stage of injection molding (1986)

    Notes: The pressure loss between the mold and the nozzle in the injection molding of bar and box moldings has been monitored. The pressure drop observed during filling of the mold is reduced during the packing stage but remains finite. This has been attributed in the literature to solidification of polymer across the cavity transducer and to melt relaxation phenomena. Experiments have been carried out with hot molds to prolong the packing stage at the expense of the ‘cooling’ stage. Under these circumstances the pressure drop is reduced but not eliminated. The observed pressure drop may be related to the viscosity of the melt and its dependence on pressure and temperature although strain-induced crystallization and the pressure dependence of the melting point can confer effects similar to the cooling stage.

    Some features of the injection molding of short fiber reinforced thermoplastics in center sprue-gated cavities (1987)

    Notes: This paper describes an investigation into the fiber orientation in a number of center sprue fed cavities in short glass fiber filled polypropylene and nylon. The data have been interpreted in terms of a generalized five-layer structure resulting from the frozen skin formation and the high and low shear levels in the flowing melt. The implications for scaling up the mold size are discussed from the results obtained with different shot volumes. The fiber structure was observed to depend on location in the molding, local injection time, and injection rate. In addition the occurrence of fiber-free layers within the moldings using the filled polypropylene increases with an increase in shot volume, which produces an inherent ‘scale-up’ problem. Notwithstanding the mold geometry subtleties, the fiber orientation in all the moldings follows similar patterns and trends.
