    Notes: Abstract. The characteristics and variability of soils within a 30 ha experimental site in N. E. Nigeria are analysed in relation to tree establishment. Profile description and analyses for some 480 surface samples of the sandy to clayey surface soils from Lake Chad lacustrine sediments provide baseline properties against which any subsequent modifications resulting from agroforestry practices can be assessed and to which initial tree performance can be related. This has been undertaken using principal component and spatial analyses. Inherited soil properties show spatial variations across the site which can be related to the soil textural parameters. The initial survival of trees planted for agroforestry experimentation shows strong correlations with the inherited characteristics of the soil rather than with acquired soil properties.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous donnons les résultats d'analyses chimiques, d'examens aux rayons infra-rouge, et d'examens par diffraction des rayons-X, des spicules de sept espèces des Éponges Calcaires avec aussi les valeurs de gravité spcéifique. Les spicules se composent de calcite et de magnésium. Nous avons découvert des traces de quartz, mais nous les attribuons à la contamination. Nous avons cherché l'aragonite, sans la trouver, bien que la présence du quartz en rende plus difficile la recherche. Le contenu de Mg2+ a varié de 1,25 à 3,15 pour cent d'une espèce à l'autre, s'élevant selon la grandeur des spicules dans les deux espèces que nous avons étudiées. Il était aussi en corrélation étroite avec le déplacement du sommet 112 de diffraction. Des composants présents en quantité moindre, et dont nous avons estimé le pourcentage, se trouvaient être Sr2+, Na+ et SO 4 2− . Sr2+ était relativement invariable, les deux autres étaient variables. Nous avons découvert aussi des traces de Al3+, Si, Mn2+, Ba2+ et Li+. Les valeurs de gravité spécifique s'échelonnaient de 2,58 à 2,62, les spicules plus petits fournissant la plus grande variation. Nous considérons la composition par rapport à la sécrétion de spicules et à la classification de la Calcarea.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Ergebnisse von chemischen, röntgenographischen und infraroten Analysen, zusammen mit Bestimmungen von spezifischem Gewicht, werden für die Nadeln von 7 species der Kalkschwämme dargestellt. Die Nadeln setzen sich zusammen aus magnesiahaltigem Calcit. Spuren von Quartz wurden nachgewiesen, die sich aber auf Verunreinigungen zurückführen lassen. Aragonit wurde gesucht, aber nicht gefunden, obgleich die Anwesenheit von Quartz seine Feststellung erschwert. Der Mg2+-Inhalt variierte von 1,25–3,15% zwischen den Species, und nahm mit wachsender Nadelgröße bei den beiden untersuchten Species zu; es gibt auch enge Wechselbeziehungen zur Absetzung der Calcit-112-Diffraktionsspitze. Es gibt vermutlich geringere Mengen von Sr2+, Na+, und SO 4 2− . Sr2+ war relative beständig, die anderen zwei veränderlich. Spuren von Al3+, Si, Mn2+, Ba2+ und Li+ wurden auch nachgewiesen. Die durchschnittlichen spezifischen Gewichte veränderten sich von 2,58–2,62, und kleinere Nadeln variieren stärker. Die Zusammensetzung wird mit Hinsicht auf die Ausscheidung der Nadeln und die Klassenordnung der Kalkschwämme betrachtet.
    Notes: Abstract The results of chemical, X-ray diffraction and infra-red analyses, together with specific gravity determinations, are presented for the spicules of seven species of Calcarea. The spicules are composed of magnesian calcite. Traces of quartz were detected, but are ascribed to contamination. Aragonite was sought but not proven, although the presence of quartz complicates its detection. The Mg content varied from 1.25–3.15% between species, and increased with spicule size in the two species studied; it also correlated closely with the displacement of the calcite 112 diffraction peak. Minor constituents estimated were Sr2+, Na+ and SO 4 2− :Sr2+ was relatively constant, the other two variable. Traces of Al3+, Si, Mn2+ and Li+ were also detected. Average specific gravities ranged from 2.58–2.62, smaller spicules having a wider range Composition is considered in relation to spicule secretion and classification of the Calcarea.

    Notes: [Auszug] In this context, electron microprobe analysis2 is potentially a most promising method. By irradiating the specimen with a finely focused (0-3-0-8 micron diameter) beam of electrons of sufficient energy, X-rays characteristic of the elements present in the surface are emitted and can be analysed by ...

    Notes: [Auszug] As part of the investigations into the relationships between saxicolous lichens and their substrata, trace element analyses were made of a number of lichen species together with the weathered and fresh zones of a variety of subjacent rocks. Detailed examination of the results reveals a tendency for ...

    Notes: Summary Felodipine (0.075 mg/kg p.o.), a calcium antagonist, was given to 9 male volunteers, with and without indomethacin pretreatment. Diuresis and natriuresis occurred after felodipine without significant change in effective renal plasma flow or glomerular filtration rate. There was no significant change in urinary 6 keto PGF 1 α or urinary kallikrein excretion and indomethacin did not inhibit the natriuretic or diuretic response to felodipine. The felodipine induced diuresis and natriuresis appears most likely to be mediated by an action of the drug on renal tubules.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes classroom experience with the shape optimization of a lap joint. The project stressed the combination of optimization based on analytical models and experimental improvement of the design obtained based on analysis. Students used a variety of tools for optimizing the designs, ranging from exhaustive evaluation via spread sheet programs to formal optimization. The project shows promise for introducing students to all aspects of design optimization. Improvements in the basic project are suggested on the basis of classroom experience.
