    Notes: Summary Segregation ratios of allozymes in haploid female gametophytes obtained from viable seed were studied in a natural population of jack pine, Pinus banksiana. Stability of these ratios was assessed for three levels of the sexually reproductive crown as well as for four years of natural fertilization. Analyses of observed segregation ratios of four of five polymorphic isozyme loci showed good correspondence to the overall 1∶1 ratios expected for simple Mendelian inheritance. Allozymes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase did not segregate in the expected 1∶1 ratio. In addition, there were significant deviations from the expected segregation ratio for all the loci at some sampling positions on individual trees. Heterogeneity of segregation among trees, strata and years could be the result of pollen pool heterogeneity, segregation distortion and/or recessive lethal and semi-lethal gene combinations resulting in early embryo abortion. These types of segregation deviations in viable seed can affect the estimation of allele frequencies from bulked samples of a small number of individuals, the inference of heterozygosity/homozygosity of parental trees, and estimates of selfing rates.

    Notes: Summary The genetics of peroxidase and leucine-aminopeptidase isozymes was studied utilizing starch gel electrophoresis in the diploidsMedicago sativa L. (M. coerulea Less.) andM. falcata L. Three anodal and one cathodal sets of peroxidase isozymes identify four linked loci. In addition, two anodal sets of leucine-aminopeptidase isozymes identify two loci that may be linked. The allozymes at each of the loci segregated as expected for monomeric enzymes. However in several crosses there were deficiencies in the number of progeny in particular genotypic classes. This could result from the segregation of recessive deleterious genes linked to some of the allozyme alleles. This is the first report of multiple loci and multiple alleles determining isozymes inMedicago.

    Notes: Summary In a representative survey of 1000 elderly men and women aged over 65 years living in their own homes, assessments have been made of flexibility measured as range of shoulder abduction in addition to health status, psychological well-being and reported customary activity. The results for shoulder abduction were approximately normally distributed and the mean values (±1 standard deviation) were as follows: — in men aged 65–74 years, 129 (±14)° and aged over 74 years, 121 (±19)°; in women aged 65–74 years, 124 (±19)° and aged over 74 years, 114 (±22)°. These mean values are about 30° less than those accepted for younger subjects. Nearly half the distribution falls below the accepted threshold level of 120° for adequate function. There were significant effects of sex and age (P〈0.001); women had poorer flexibility and the reduction with age amounted to 10° per decade. Multiple regression analysis showed that the effect of age was accounted for in part by health, strength and customary use. The effects of use were most marked in those with some disability. This suggests that maintained or increased use could offset some of the age-related loss of the range of shoulder movement.

    Notes: The solution of high-speed transient inviscid compressible flow problems in three dimensions is considered. Discretization of the spatial domain is accomplished by the use of tetrahedral elements generated by Delaunay triangulation with automatic point creation. Methods of adapting the mesh to allow for boundary movement are considered and a strategy for ensuring boundary recovery is proposed. An explicit multistage time-stepping algorithm is employed to advance the flow solution. A number of examples are included to illustrate the numerical performance of the proposed procedures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The algorithm introduced in Part I of this paper is applied in its explicit form to a variety of problems in order to demonstrate its wide range of applicability and excellent performance. Examples range from nearly incompressible, viscous, flows through transonic applications to high speed flows with shocks. In most examples linear triangular elements are used in the finite element approximation, but some use of quadratic approximation, again in triangles, indicates satisfactory performance even in the case of severe shocks.

    Notes: The Galerkin finite element method is used as the basis for the construction of schemes for the solution of the two-dimensional compressible Euler equations on unstructured triangular grids. The use of a side-based data structure readily allows for the construction of a local (structured) stencil and the incorporation of a high-resolution shock-capturing method formulated within the TVD concept. The essential features of the finite element side-based scheme and the ID TVD approach are described and their numerical implementation is discussed. The choice of limiters and the support for their computation are analysed and the solutions of some inviscid flows, obtained by advancing explicitly in time, are presented.

    Notes: The performance of different shock capturing viscosities has been examined using our general fluid mechanics algorithm. Four different schemes have been tested, both for viscous and inviscid compressible flow problems. Results show that the methods based on the second gradient of pressure give better performance in all situations. For instance, the method constructed from the nodal pressure values and consistent and lumped mass matrices is an excellent choice for inviscid problems. The method based on L2 projection is better than any other method in viscous flow computations. The residual based anisotropic method gives excellent performance in the supersonic range and gives better results in the hypersonic regime if a small amount of residual smoothing is used. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
