    Notes: Abstract Thin-film plasma polymer coatings were deposited on to titanium, stainless steel and 70/30 copper-nickel substrates from hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) as potential permanent promoters of dropwise condensation of steam. Long-term durability condensation tests showed that HMDSO films on titanium exposed to low-velocity steam performed well with some lifetimes in excess of 12 000 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to monitor the dependence of chemical composition of the films on the deposition conditions and it was shown that composition was not critically dependent on deposition conditions. Additionally, XPS was used to monitor chemical composition before and after exposure of specimens to steam in an attempt to identify the failure mechanisms for films which had ceased to sustain dropwise condensation over their entire surface. Furthermore, short tube sections were coated with plasma-polymerized HMDSO and exposed to steam at elevated velocities. In this case the durability was poor and this is attributed to water droplet impingement erosion on the tube surfaces. This was confirmed by a subsequent test where no water droplets were present in the steam flow and the coating lifetime was seen to increase.

    Microtubule nucleation and organization in teleost photoreceptors: Microtubule recovery after elimination by cold (1990)

    Notes: Summary Retinal photoreceptors have two separate populations of microtubules: axonemal microtubules of the modified cilium of the outer segment and cytoplasmic microtubules of the cell body. The axonemal microtubules originate from a basal body located at the distal tip of the photoreceptor inner segment and extend in a 9+0 configuration into the outer segment of rods and accessory outer segment of cones. The cytoplasmic microtubules of the cell body are axially aligned from the distal tip of the inner segment to proximal synapse, and are oriented with uniform polarity, their minus ends distal toward the outer segment and plus ends proximal toward the synapse (Troutt & Burnside, 1988). To investigate how this regular cytoplasmic microtubule array is generated, we have attempted to identify microtubule nucleation sites in the cones of the tropical teleost fish, Tilapia (Sarotherodon mossambicus) by examining the regrowth of cytoplasmic microtubules after cold disruption in whole retinas or in isolated cone fragments consisting of inner and outer segments (CIS-COS). Incremental stages of microtubule reassembly were examined both by electron microscopy of thin sections and by immunofluorescent localization of microtubules with an antitubulin antibody. Cold treatment completely abolished all cytoplasmic microtubules but did not disrupt axonemal microtubules. Within 2 min after rewarming, cytoplasmic microtubules reappeared in the most distal portion of the inner segment in a small aster-like array associated with the basal body, and subsequently appeared in more proximal parts of the cone. These observations suggest that a favoured microtubule nucleation site is associated with the basal body region of the cone outer segment, and thus that the basal body region could function as a microtubule organizing centre for the photoreceptor. These results are consistent with the findings of our previous investigation of cone microtubule polarity, which showed that the minus ends of the cytoplasmic microtubules of the cone are associated with the basal body region.

    Actin-dependent myoid elongation in teleost rod inner/outer segments occurs in the absence of net actin polymerization (1992)

    Notes: In the retinas of teleost fish, rod photoreceptors elongate in response to light. Light-activated elongation is mediated by the myoid of the rod inner segment and is actin-dependent. Inner segment F-actin filaments form bundles running parallel to the cell's long axis. We examined the mechanism of rod elongation using mechanically-detached rod fragments, consisting of the motile inner segment and sensory outer segment (RIS-ROS). When RIS-ROS are isolated from darkadapted green sunfish and cultured in the light, they elongate 15μm at 0.3-0.6μm/min. Elongation was inhibited 65% by 0.1μM Cytochalasin D, suggesting a requirement for actin assembly. To determine the extent of assembly during elongation, we used three approaches to measure the F-actin content in RIS-ROS: detection of pelletable actin by SDS-PAGE after detergent-extraction of RIS-ROS; quantification of fluorescein-phalloidin binding by fluorimetry, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and image analysis; estimation of total F-actin filament length by electron microscopy. All three assays indicated that no net assembly of RIS-ROS F-actin accompanied myoid elongation. An increase in F-actin content within the elongated myoid was counterbalanced by a decrease in F-actin content within the 13 microvillus-like calycal processes located at the end of the inner segment opposite to the growing myoid. O'Connor and Burnside (Journal of Cell Biology 89:517-524, 1981) showed that minus-ends of rod F-actin filaments are oriented towards the elongating myoid while plus-ends are oriented towards the shortening calycal processes. Our observations suggest that RIS-ROS elongation entails actin polymerization at the minus-ends of filaments coupled with depolymerization at the filament plus-ends.
