    Notes: Abstract  For 12 selected synoptic stations of the Greek Weather Service, the daily 12 UTC values of the thermal index Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) were calculated for the years 1980 to 1989. The locally varied occurrence of diverse thermal sensation and particularly of strong heat stress were analysed in relation to the human-biometeorological significance. With the help of a statistical model, PMV values of individual stations were transformed into a high-resolution bioclimatic map. The map presents the average annual number of days with at least strong heat stress (PMV〉3.0).

    Applications of a universal thermal index: physiological equivalent temperature (1999)

    Notes: Abstract  The physiological equivalent temperature, PET, is a thermal index derived from the human energy balance. It is well suited to the evaluation of the thermal component of different climates. As well as having a detailed physiological basis, PET is preferable to other thermal indexes like the predicted mean vote because of its unit (°C), which makes results more comprehensible to urban or regional planners, for example, who are not so familiar with modern human-biometeorological terminology. PET results can be presented graphically or as bioclimatic maps. Graphs mostly display the temporal behaviour of PET, whereas spatial distribution is specified in bioclimatic maps. In this article, some applications of PET are discussed. They relate to the evaluation of the urban heat island in cities in both temperate climates and warm climates at high altitude. The thermal component of the microclimate in the trunk space of a deciduous forest is also evaluated by PET. As an example of the spatial distribution of PET, a bioclimatic map for Greece in July (Mediterranean climate) is presented.

    The structure of lipid A from the lipopolysaccharide of Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa 29/1 (1985)
    Springer
    Archives of microbiology 141 (1985), S. 279-283

    ISSN: 1432-072X
    Keywords: Rhodopseudomonas gelationosa ; Lipid A structure ; Toxicity of lipid A

    Notes: Abstract The structure of the lipid A component of Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa 29/1 lipopolysaccharide was established. It constitutes a β-1,6-glucosamine disaccharide substituted on either side by ester-and glycosidically-bound phosphate residues. Both phosphate groups are in turn nonstoichiometrically substituted by ethanolamine. The amino groups of the disaccharide are N-acylated by 3-acyloxyacyl residues: that at the reducing glucosamine by 3-O-(14:0) 10:0, and that at the non-reducing one by 3-O-(12:0)10:0. Hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-3′ are esterified by hydroxycapric acid. Hydroxyl groups at C-4 and C-6′ in free hydroxycapric acid. Hydroxyl groups at C-4 and C-6′ in free lipid A were shown to be unoccupied by methylation with diazomethane. A similar methylation of the intact lipopolysaccharide revealed a free hydroxyl group only at C-4, indicating that C-6′ is the attachment site of 3-deoxy-d-anno-octulosonic acid. By preparative thin-layer chromatography free lipid A could be resolved into at least two major and one minor fractions. Lipid A of R. gelatinosa 29/1 shows high lethal toxicity, comparable to that of Salmonella lipid A.

    Lipopolysaccharide of Providencia rettgeri (1986)
    Springer
    Archives of microbiology 144 (1986), S. 213-218 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-072X
    Keywords: Providencia rettgeri ; Lipid A structure ; Taxonomy

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The chemical constitutional analysis of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Providencia rettgeri was carried out. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using sodium dodecylsulfate or sodium deoxycholate showed that the lipopolysaccharide mostly consisted of short sugar chains. The lipid A was precipitated out after mild acid hydrolysis of LPS. From the supernatant degraded polysaccharide and unsubstituted core fractions were isolated. Compositional analysis of the core material revealed the presence of galacturonic acid, galactose, glucose, glucosamine, l-glycero-d-manno-heptose, 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonic acid, alanine and phosphorus. Methylation analysis of the core material indicated the presence of terminal units of glucose, galacturonic acid and glucosamine. The chemical structure of the lipid A was elucidated. It constitutes a β-1,6-glucosamine disaccharide substituted on either side by ester and glycosidically-bond phosphate residues. The ester-bound phosphate was found to be substituted by a 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinosyl residue. The amino groups of the backbone disaccharide are N-acylated by 3-O-(14:0)14:0 and 3-O-14:0. Two hydroxyl groups of the disaccharide are esterified by 3-O-(14:0)14:0 and 3-O-14:0. The taxonomical importance of these structural details will be discussed.
