    Notes: Abstract Electroantennograms (EAGs) were recorded fromTrirhabda bacharides Le Conte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) females to 28 odorants and volatiles emanating from leaves of 26 plant species including three known host plants,Baccharis halimifolia L.,B. neglecta Britt, andB. salicina T. & G. (Compositae: Asterae). Antennal receptors were highly responsive to components of the green leaf volatile complex, especially 6-carbon saturated and monounsaturated alcohols andtrans-2-hexenal. EAGs elicited by heptanal were greater than those elicited by any other saturated aldehyde. Oxygenated monoterpenes were more active than monoterpene hydrocarbons. β-Bisabolol was the most active sesquiterpene. In general, EAGs to volatiles emanating fromBaccharis and other composite species were greater than those elicited by species from other families. Furthermore, when one considers only plants occurring in the environs ofT bacharides hostB. neglecta, EAGs elicited by its host plant were at least two times greater than those elicited by other coinhabiting plants.

    Notes: Abstract After living ponderosa pines were baited with either female-infested bolts or synthetic pheromones,Dendroctonus brevicomis were caught on sticky screens throughout trapping periods of 15–46 days; however, large numbers of beetles were trapped during only a small portion (5–10 days) of these trapping periods. The most attractive portions of trees attacked contained 3–6 beetles dm2, in galleries ca. 2 cm long. Catch increased following addition of males to female-infested bolts, supporting the hypothesis that male-produced frontalin is an attractive pheromone of the western pine beetle. Catch at bolts removed from trees under attack was strongly dependent upon levels of boring activity. We found no evidence of interruption of the response to attractants during host colonization.

    Notes: Abstract The number of western pine beetles,Dendroctonus brevicomis, trapped at the center of three 90 × 90-m plots was reduced during a 16-hr period after surrounding an attractive source ofexo-brevicomin, frontalin, and myrcene with 16, 48, or 168 sources of the same attractant. Compounds were released from the center of the plot at 1 mg/16 hr/compound, and from the surrounding sources at 4–280 mg/16 hr/compound. About half of these amounts was released between 1530 hr and 1930 hr, the period of peak beetle flight. No treatment differences were apparent in reduction of catch within the range of release rates and spacings tested. When compounds were released continuously from 168 stations for 17 days, catch at the center of a plot was generally lower than catch before or after this period, but fluctuated daily. More beetles were caught on traps hung on ponderosa pines within a plot and the number of these traps catching beetles was greater when compounds were released from all stations than from only the center station. Beetles caught on traps were attracted into the plots from the surrounding forest, but appeared to be dispersed within the plot when compounds were released from many stations.D. brevicomis attacked at least 91 trees in the plots, of which 25 were killed during two summers.

    Notes: Abstract exo-Brevicomin (E), frontalin (F), and myrcene (M) were released at two rates 10-fold apart with verbenone at four rates 10-fold apart, and without verbenone in plots with one trap on a vertical cylinder at the pheromone source and one trap on each of four cylinders 5 m away. Catch of the western pine beetleDendroctonus brevicomis decreased with increasing levels of verbenone at both release rates of EFM, but not all differences in catch were statistically significant. Significantly more beetles were caught at the high rate of EFM than at the low rate, combining all rates of verbenone. The percent of total beetles caught at the center trap tended to decrease with increasing rates of verbenone, but the only statistically significant differences were at the low rate of EFM.

    Notes: Some results are reported on the alkyllithium-initiated polymerization of butadiene in cyclopentane in presence of 2,′2-bis(4,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane). The effect of this lithium chelating agent on one-unit model active centres is also reported. Comparisons are made with another highly efficient polymer structure modifier, 1,2-dipiperidinoethane. Conclusions are reached on the reasons why both are particularly effective in inducing the formation of polydienes having extremely high vinyl content.

    Notes: Vernalized gemmules of the marine sponge Haliclona loosanoffi were cultured at 20°C, fixed at 24-hour intervals (0-11 days), and processed for light microscopy by using a variety of absorption and fluorescent staining methods. The cytochemistry and morphology of development were compared to the well-studied developmental patterns of freshwater sponges and to the patterns described in the marine sponge Suberites domuncula. The precocious development of H. loosanoffi gemmules involves early morphogenesis occurring within the unhatched gemmule, as opposed to the patterns in freshwater sponges, where most development occurs after the gemmule hatches. Definitive sponge tissue surrounding a single osculum is present 9 days after release from dormancy.

    Notes: The KC gene is a cell cycle-dependent competence gene originally identified in platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated BALB/c-3T3 cells. This gene is also induced in murine peritoneal macrophages in response to activation stimuli. We have examined the expression of the KC gene in cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells following treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a first step in defining the early molecular events involved in endothelial cell stimulation by physiologically relevant modulators. LPS markedly elevated the steady-state level of KC mRNA in confluent endothelial cells; maximum induction of KC occurred in the cells following exposure to 10 ng/ml LPS for 2 h. LPS did not increase the growth fraction of the cells, nor was the KC mRNA level changed in dense endothelial cells stimulated to enter the cell cycle with epidermal growth factor. However, KC mRNA expression was elevated by addition of serum to starved, subconfluent endothelial cell cultures. Treatment of endothelial cells with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG) also induced KC gene expression. A maximum response was obtained with 10 nM PMA, the effect decreasing with higher levels of the phorbol ester. The calcium ionophore A23187 exhibited little stimulatory activity alone; however, the ionophore did cause a doubling in the PMA-stimulated KC expression. The increased expression of KC induced by LPS and PMA was inhibited by the presence of 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7), a protein kinase C inhibitor, but not by HA1004 (an H7 analogue with little protein kinase C inhibitory activity). No cytotoxicity was observed in inhibitor or LPS-treated endothelial cell cultures. These results demonstrate that KC gene expression is stimulated by LPS in vascular endothelial cells in a proliferation-independent process. Second, unlike LPS-induced KC expression in macrophages and platelet-derived growth factor-induced KC expression in 3T3 cells, LPS induction of KC in endothelial cells appears to require activation of protein kinase C.

    Notes: The distribution of total polyadenylated RNA and mRNAs from the β-actin, fibronectin, and cytokeratin Endo A genes was examined in preimplantation mouse embryos using in situ hybridization of riboprobes to RNA in sections of embryos. Polyadenylated RNA was found in the cytoplasm of all cells of blastocyst-stage embryos, whereas the specific mRNAs displayed three distinct patterns of expression: uniform throughout the embryo (β-actin), enriched in the inner cell mass (fibronectin), and enriched in the trophectoderm (Endo A). In eight-cell embryos, the polyadenylated RNA was more concentrated in nuclei than in the cytoplasm (as noted previously), although this was not the case in blastocysts, nor was it true for the specific mRNAs that were examined. These experiments demonstrate that there is localized gene expression in the early mouse embryo, which correlates with the formation of the trophectoderm and the inner cell mass.

    Notes: Liquid crystal polymers (LCP) have been developed for the first time as a thermoplastic matrix for high-performance composites. A successful melt impregnation method has been developed that results in the production of continuous carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced LCP prepreg tape. Subsequent layup and molding of prepreg into laminates has yielded composites of good quality.Tensile and flexural properties of LCP-CF composites are comparable to those of epoxy-CF composites. LCP-CF composites have better impact resistance than the latter, although epoxy-CF composites possess superior compression and shear strength. LCP-CF composites have good property retention until 200°F (67% of room temperature value). Above 200°F, mechanical properties are found to decrease significantly. Experimental results indicate that the poor compression and shear strength may be due to the poor interfacial adhesion between the matrix and carbon fiber.
