Notes: Abstract The carbon-dioxide response of photosynthesis of leaves of Quercus suber, a sclerophyllous species of the European Mediterranean region, was studied as a function of time of day at the end of the summer dry season in the natural habitat. To examine the response experimentally, a “standard” time course for temperature and humidity, which resembled natural conditions, was imposed on the leaves, and the CO2 pressure external to the leaves on subsequent days was varied. The particular temperature and humidity conditions chosen were those which elicited a strong stomatal closure at midday and the simultaneous depression of net CO2 uptake. Midday depression of CO2 uptake is the result of i) a decrease in CO2-saturated photosynthetic capacity after light saturation is reached in the early morning, ii) a decrease in the initial slope of the CO2 response curve (carboxylation efficiency), and iii) a substantial increase in the CO2 compensation point caused by an increase in leaf temperature and a decrease in humidity. As a consequence of the changes in photosynthesis, the internal leaf CO2 pressure remained essentially constant despite stomatal closure. The effects on capacity, slope, and compensation point were reversed by lowering the temperature and increasing the humidity in the afternoon. Constant internal CO2 may aid in minimizing photoinhibition during stomatal closure at midday. The results are discussed in terms of possible temperature, humidity, and hormonal effects on photosynthesis.

Description / Table of Contents: Behaviour of stainless cast alloys under combined mechanical and corrosive attackIn media with 3000 mg B/1 (as boric acid, H3BO3) and varying chloride contents down to 1 mg Cl-/1 13%-Cr-steels show pitting. Under constant load cracks appear simultaneously. As can be expected, 17%-Cr-steels are more resistant and duplex ferritic austenitic steels exhibit no corrosion cracking in 3% NaCl-solution even after 10 000 hrs. Generally, corrosion resistance improves with increasing contents of ferrite forming elements. Corrosion cracks are interpreted in termes of anodic stress corrosion cracking. Notch impact bending tests with hydrogen charged specimens show that deformability is reduced.

Notes: 13%-Cr-Stähle zeigen in Lösungen mit 3000 mg B/1 (als Borsäure, H3BO3) und unterschiedlichen Chloridgehalten Lochkorrosion bis herab zu Konzentrationen von 1 mg Cl-/1. Bei mechanischer Zugbeanspruchung treten gleichzeitig Risse auf. 17%-Cr-Stähle sind erwartungsgemäß beständiger und ferritisch-austenitische Stähle zeigen in 3% NaCl-Lösung auch im 10 000 h-Versuch keine Korrosionsrisse. Generell steigt die Beständigkeit mit zunehmendem Anteil an ferritbildenden Elementen. Die Korrosionsrisse werden als anodische Spannungsrißkorrosion interpretiert. Kerbschlagbiegeversuche mit wasserstoffbeladenen Proben ergeben eine Abnahme des Verformungsvermögens.
