    Notes: Abstract Hydroxylamine oxidation was measured in four recently isolated heterotrophic nitrate-reducing bacteria belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Moraxella, Arthrobacter and Aeromonas. A hydroxylamine-cytochrome c oxidoreductase activity was detected in periplasmic fractions of the Pseudomonas and Aeromonas spp. and in total soluble fractions of the Arthrobacter sp. A monomeric 19-kDa non-haem iron hydroxylamine-cytochrome c oxidoreductase was purified from the Pseudomonas species and shown to be similar to hydroxylamine-cytochrome c oxidoreductase of Paracoccus denitrificans.

    Notes: Abstract A strain of Pseudomonas putida that can express a nitrate reductase that is located in the periplasmic compartment was isolated from freshwater. The enzyme was active in vivo during arginine fermentation and at the onset of oxygen limitation in batch cultures. The activity of the enzyme increased the yield of bacteria following fermentative growth under anoxic conditions with arginine, but nitrate reduction did not support growth on non-fermentable carbon substrates under anoxic conditions. Cells expressing the periplasmic nitrate reductase were capable of reducing nitrate in the presence of oxygen. Nitrate reduction under oxic conditions was clearly coupled to a respiratory electron transport chain because: (1) the process was sensitive to the respiratory inhibitors rotenone and 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide, and (2) membrane-bound and periplasmic cytochromes were involved. This is the first report of the presence of a periplasmic nitrate reductase in a member of the γ proteobacteria.

    Notes: A collection of group II Fusarium graminearum isolates obtained from maize, wheat and rice from different locations in Nepal were identified using a combination of morphological and molecular criteria. The variation within this collection was analysed using RAPD markers, intergenic spacer (IGS) RFLP and PCR polymorphisms. The isolates were divided into two groups, A and B, by RAPD analysis. Isolates in group A yielded four different PCR polymorphic markers, but all the isolates in group B yielded a single polymorphic marker. The IGS RFLP analysis was consistent with division of the isolates into two groups. Isolates from wheat and rice were more frequently placed in group A, with isolates from maize more evenly distributed between the groups. Results indicate that host preference might be a factor in the division of isolates, although the year of isolation may also have had an influence. No geographical factors or agricultural practices could be identified to account for the observed variation.

    Notes: In this paper a coupled finite and boundary element formulation is developed for the analysis of excavation in jointed rock. The presence of joints in the rock mass has been included implicitly by treating it as an appropriate anisotropic elastic continuum. The boundary element formulation for an anisotropic medium is briefly discussed. Good agreement has been found between numerical and analytical solutions for several example problems, demonstrating the accuracy of the present formulation. Numerical solutions are also presented for the problems of a deep circular tunnel and a basement excavated in a variety of jointed rock masses.

    Notes: This paper critically examines the use of the modified Cam clay stress-strain model in predicting the thermomechanical behaviour of soft clays. The equations governing the thermomechanical behaviour of a saturated soil are summarized and their methods of solution are briefly discussed. The observed thermomechanical soil behaviour reported in the literature has been compared with the predictions made using the modified Cam clay model. In making these comparisons, two extensions of the well-known modified Cam clay model have been considered: one proposed by Britto et al.1 in which heating induces thermal stresses and strains in the soil but has no direct effect on the work hardening, and the other proposed by Hueckel and Borsetto2 in which a change in temperature also affects the yield surface. The comparisons are confined to the behaviour of normally and lightly overconsolidated clays, where the modified Cam clay is known to perform well. Apart from the effect of a single heating-cooling loop, cyclic behaviour is not considered. It is concluded that both models provide reasonable predictions under isotropic stress conditions. Although exhaustive comparisons have not been made for deviatoric stress excursions (because of the lack of experimental data), it appears from preliminary studies that neither model performs particularly well for this form of loading.

    Notes: The problem of fully coupled consolidation and heat flow around a rigid cylindrical heat source buried in clay has been studied. The governing equations of the problem are summarized in the paper and a finite element time-marching scheme to obtain an approximate solution to the governing equations is described. The stress-strain behaviour of the skeleton of the saturated soil has been represented by both a linear elastic model and the modified Cam clay soil model. The results of a limited parametric study are presented with the aim of understanding the major mechanisms of soil behaviour close to buried canisters of hot radioactive waste. A range of soil properties has been included in the study, and the effects of soil disturbance during canister emplacement have also been considered.

    Notes: This paper presents a coupled, elastoplastic, finite element and boundary element method for the two-dimensional, non-linear analysis of anisotropic jointed rock. The non-linear and anisotropic behaviour of a jointed rock mass is simulated by representing the mass as an equivalent anisotropic, elastoplastic continuum, so that the influence of the jointing system is ‘smeared’ across the continuum, i.e. the individual joints are not modelled as discrete entities. Numerical examples have been solved to verify the capability, accuracy and efficiency of the present technique. The proposed technique has also been applied to the analysis of tunnel excavation problems in plane strain. The effects of anisotropy and non-linearity of the jointed rock mass during excavation have been investigated in some detail.

    Notes: In many cases the analysis of the consolidation of axi-symmetric bodies subjected to non axi-symmetric loading may be carried out without recourse to a full three-dimensional treatment. Advantage may be taken of the axi-symmetric nature of the body and field quantities such as displacement and pore pressure can be given a Fourier representation. The problem is then reduced from one in three spatial dimensions (r, θ, z) and the time domain to one in two spatial dimensions (r, z) and the time domain.

    Notes: An analytical solution to the problem of a load applied to a portion of the wall of a circular tunnel installed deep in a homogeneous isotropic material has been found. The solution is obtained by taking a Fourier transform, in the axial direction, of the field quantities and then representing these as a Fourier series in the polar angle. The integration which is necessary for the inversion of Fourier transforms has to be performed numerically using Gaussian quadrature.The solution has been used to analyse the problem of uniform normal loading applied over rectangular patches of the tunnel wall. An indication of how the solution can be applied to the tunnel jacking problem is given.

    Notes: Closed-form solutions are presented for the steady-state distributions of displacement, pore pressure and stress around a point sink embedded in a homogeneous, isotropic elastic half space. These solutions have been evaluated for a typical case of a sink (pump) buried in sand and the magnitude of the settlement of the ground surface has been estimated.
