Notes: A new instrument for simultaneous small-angle X-ray scattering and rheology experiments on soft solids is described. This device is based on a commercial rheometer with a shear sandwich geometry in which the sample is subjected to a planar oscillatory deformation. This instrument has been used for time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering/rheology experiments at the Synchrotron Radiation Source, Daresbury Laboratory, England. The focus has been in particular on the effect of large-amplitude shearing on the orientation of cubic phases in gels of block copolymers formed in concentrated solutions, and on the bicontinuous cubic phase of a block copolymer melt. Representative results are presented for face-centred cubic (f.c.c.) and body-centred cubic (b.c.c.) phases in gels of poly(oxyethylene)–poly(oxybutylene) diblock copolymers, and for the bicontinuous cubic `gyroid' structure in a poly-(ethylene-alt-propylene)–poly(dimethylsiloxane) di-block copolymer melt. The orientations of the micellar b.c.c. phases in the gels and the gyroid structure (belonging to the b.c.c. space group Ia\bar 3d) following large-amplitude shearing are shown to be the same, i.e. directionally oriented crystals are produced in both cases, in which (111) directions are oriented along the shear direction.

Notes: Abstract Sheep x hamster cell hybrids containing sheep metacentric Chromosome (Chr) 2 were produced by fusing blood leukocytes from normal sheep with hamster auxotrophic Ade F-minus mutants. Cell clones that were isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) positive were cytogenetically characterized, confirming that they contained sheep Chr 2. The following loci were newly assigned by Southern hybridization to sheep Chr 2: lipoprotein lipase (LPL), glycoprotein-4-beta galactosyltransferase 2 (GGTB2), neurofilament light polypeptide (68 kDa; NEFL), surfactant-associated protein 2 (SFTP2), lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK), and nebulin (NEB). These new assignments and the in situ localization of gelsolin (GSN) to sheep Chr 2pter-p24 are consistent with the predicted homology of cattle Chr 8 (U18) with sheep Chr 2p, and of cattle Chr 2 (U17) with sheep 2q. In addition, the assignment by cell hybrid analysis of loci previously mapped to Chr 2 in sheep, viz., cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, delta polypeptide (CHRND), collagen type III alpha 1 (COL3A1), fibronectin 1 (FN1), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1), and villin 1 (VIL1), confirmed the localization of sheep syntenic group U11 to this chromosome. By nutritional selection and complementation of the hamster auxotrophic Ade F mutation, the multifunctional enzyme locus phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase (AICAR transformylase)/IMP cyclohydrolase (inosinicase) (provisionally given the symbol PRACFT) has also been newly assigned to sheep Chr 2. This report significantly extends the number of loci physically mapped to sheep Chr 2 and confirms its close homology with cattle Chrs 2 and 8.
