    Notes: Summary Spinalized rats received an intrathecal injection of either (−)-nicotine or (+)-nicotine in order to study the stereoselectivity of antinociception. Pain threshold was measured using the tail-flick test. Both stereoisomers had antinociceptive effects, but (−)-nicotine was up to 970 times more potent, depending on test conditions. The antinociceptive action of (−)-nicotine was antagonized by mecamylamine and yohimbine but not by naloxone and atropine. The findings show that spinal mechanisms are highly stereoselective toward nicotine, and suggest that primarily nicotinergic andalpha-adrenergic receptors are involved in its central antinociceptive effects.

    Notes: Summary Studies were carried outin vitro to determine effects of tranylcypromine enantiomers ([+]- and [−]-TCP) on uptake and release of 5-HT, DA and NA in rat synaptosomes and on imipramine binding to rabbit platelets. (+)-TCP was more potent than (−)-TCP as inhibitor of 5-HT uptake and imipramine binding, whereas (−)-TCP was more potent than (+)-TCP as inhibitor of DA and NA uptake. The enantiomers differed only slightly in their effects on monoamine release. The findings agree with previous reports on the stereoselectivity of monoaminergic mechanisms toward TCP enantiomers, and support the notion that the 5-HT uptake site may be associated with the imipramine binding site.

    Notes: Summary The diastereomers of 3,N,N′-trimethyl-2-phenyl-1,4-piperazine dihydrochloride (TPP) were tested for their effects on NA, DA and 5-HT uptake in synaptosomes prepared from hypothalamus, corpus striatum, and frontal cortex, respectively. The diastereomers differed with respect to their inhibitory properties. (2R, 3R)-TPP was more potent than the other diastereomers on NA and DA uptake, whereas (2S, 3S)-TPP was least potent. In contrast, the (2S, 3S)- and (2 S, 3R)-diastereomers of TPP were more potent than (2R, 3R)- and (2R, 3S)-TPP as inhibitors of 5-HT uptake. None of the diastereomers affected monoamine oxidase activity. The findings show that the diastereomers of TPP interact stereoselectively with neuronal mechanisms for monoamine uptake, and that the (S)-configuration at the 2 carbon is important for inhibitory actions of TPP on 5-HT uptake.

    Notes: This paper shows how analytic surfaces can be used to define the vanes of an impeller of a centrifugal compressor. The analysis has been given of a cubic-linear patch for representing three-dimensional geometries. An example has shown how this type of patch can be successfully used to model the geometry of centrifugal or mixed flow impellers having 'swept back vanes at the outlet.The analysis has been programmed for the Atlas computer at the Computer Aided Design Centre (CADC), Cambridge and set up in such a way that the designer can examine systematically a range of impeller shapes.

    Notes: This paper presents a direct boundary element method of numerical analysis, formulated in the Laplace transform domain, for a plane strain analysis of a linear thermo-poro-elastic material consolidating in the presence of a heat source. The equations governing the behaviour of the material are assumed to be a set of self-adjoint and fully coupled linear equations. A physical intepretation of the constants appearing in the linear theory relevant to engineering applications is presented. A boundary integral equation is developed from the governing equations in a straightforward way using the properties of Dirac delta functions, and an approximate boundary element method of numerical analysis is implemented using the Green's functions derived previously by the authors. The numerical analysis presented is motivated by the engineering design of a heat generating radioactive waste repository located deep underground. For this reason, there is a description of the application of the boundary integral equation method presented to the numerical solution of several problems of theoretical and practical interest in the area of radioactive waste disposal in clay-like soils.

    Notes: A simple and efficient method for the solution of uncoupled transient thermoelastic problems using boundary integral techniques is presented. The method employs a Laplace transformation to remove temporarily the time dependence of the governing equations. Numerical analysis is then carried out in the transform space, and results in the time-position space are found by numerical inversion of the Laplace transform. The method has the advantage that it avoids time-stepping and the costly evaluation of domain integrals. Boundary element and analytic solutions are compared, and the effect of cooling on the stresses around a deep underground opening is examined.
