    Notes: This paper presents experimental and numerical simulation for deformation and fatigue lifeprediction of various cables, such as electrical, optical and network cables. The cable damage isproduced by the tensile, bending and torsional action under moving and fixing condition, and bydirect external impact. To obtain material responses of the cable, uniaxial tensile tests anddrop-weight impact tests were adopted, and the nonlinear constitutive equations based on variousstrain energy potentials or material models were employed to analyze deformation of polymer sheathand metallic armor layer of the cable. Finite element results were compared with experimental datafor deformation and impact absorption energy of the cable during direct external impact. Also, fatiguestrength of the cable was predicted from variation of calculated stress level under tensile conditions.Fractured surface of the cable were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

    Notes: We examined the influence of thermal treatment of high-purity SiC powder on 6H-SiCcrystal growth. The doping concentration was decreased by increasing either thermal treatmenttemperature or time. It was also found that the defects such as micropipes and planar cavities weregenerated under relatively long treatment time (13 hours), because SiC powders were significantlygraphitized. A 6H-SiC crystal grown by using SiC source treated at 2100oC for 6 hours revealed thebest result with relatively low micropipes. For the effects of thermal treated sources on theimprovement of crystallinity, it could be explained that both the amount of alpha phase transformedfrom high-purity beta-SiC powder and the elimination of porous powders in SiC powder had aninfluence on the removal of silicon droplets, resulting in higher Si vapor pressure at the initial growthstage

    Notes: Abstract Recent approaches toward the immunotherapy of neoplastic disease involve the introduction of expression-competent genes for interleukin-2 (IL-2) into autologous malignant cells. Treatment of tumor-bearing experimental animals with the IL-2-secreting cells successfully induces partial and at times complete remissions. In most instances, however, although delayed, progressive tumor growth continues. Here, certain of the characteristic of B16 melanomas (H-2b) persisting in C57BL/6 mice (H-2b) treated with an IL-2-secreting, melanoma-antigen-positive cellular immunogen (RLBA-IL-2 cells) are described. Unlike the melanoma cells first injected, B16 cells recovered from mice treated with RLBA-IL-2 cells were deficient in the experssion of MHC class I, but not class II determinants. Deficient MHC class I expression correlated with the cells' resistance to cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) from the spleens of mice immunized with RLBA-IL-2 cells. Melanomas persisting in mice treated with non-IL-2-secreting, melanoma-antigen-positive cell constructs (RLBA-ZipNeo cells) were also deficient in the expression of MHC class I determinants, and the melanoma cells were resistant to CTL from mice immunized with RLBA-ZipNeo cells. Thus, the expression of melanoma-associated antigens rather than IL-2-secretion correlated with deficient MHC class I expression by the persistent melanomas. This point was substantiated by the expression of MHC class I antigens by melanomas persisting in mice treated with IL-2-secreting, melanoma-antigen-negative LM cells (LM-IL-2); it was equivalent to that of melanomas in untreated mice. The involvement of MHC class I antigens in the immune resistance of persistent melanoma cells from mice treated with the melanoma-autigen-positive immunogens was indicated by the effect of interferon γ (IFNγ) orN-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) on the susceptibility of the cells to anti-melanoma CTL. Treatment of the resistant melanomas with IFNγ or MNNG stimulated MHC class I antigen expression and restored the cells' sensitivity to CTL from mice immunized with IL-2-secreting or nonsecreting, melanoma-antigen-positive cellular immunogens. Prior treatment of the treated cells with antibodies to MHC class I determinants inhibited the cells' susceptibility to CTL from mice immunized with RLBA-IL-2 cells.

    Notes: Summary Desulfovibrio desulfuricans M6 selected for its ability to degrade dibenzothiophene was cultured in an electrochemical cell system. The ratio of carbon dioxide production to that of hydrogen sulfide was 2.13 in the control culture, whilst the ratios of the cultures made in the cathode compartment and the anode compartment were 1.54 and 3.13, respectively. WhenD. desulfurican M6 was incubated in a sulfate-free medium C with Kuwait crude oil and methyl viologen as an electron mediator in the cathode compartment, the sulfur content of crude oil was decreased with the production of hydrogen sulfide.

    Notes: Abstract Electrochemical energy as a source of reducing equivalent was applied to the cultures ofClostridum acetobutylicum to understand the effects of the pressure by reducing equivalent on anaerobic bacteria. The fermentation byC. acetobutylicum with methyl viologen and electrochemical energy produced more butanol (up to 26%) than the control culture, whilst less acetone (up to 25%) was produced. But no effect was observed on the growth of the culture. These results were indirectly supported byin vitro electrochemical reduction of NAD+ and artificial electron carriers.
