    Beschreibung: The paper's main result is a simple derivation rule for the Jacobi polynomials with respect to their parameters, i.e. for $\partial_{\alpha} P_n^{\alpha,\beta}$, and $\partial_{\beta} P_n^{\alpha,\beta}$. It is obtained via relations for the Gaussian hypergeometric function concerning parameter derivatives and integer shifts in the first two arguments. These have an interest on their own for further applications to continuous and discrete orthogonal polynomials. The study is motivated by a Galerkin method with moving weight, presents all proofs in detail, and terminates in a brief discussion of the generated polynomials.

    Beschreibung: We derive a simple accuracy matching strategy for inexact Gauss Newton methods and apply it to the numerical solution of boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations by collocation. The matching strategy is based on an affine contravariant convergence theorem, i. e. , the characteristic constants are invariant under affine transformations of the domain. The inexact Gauss Newton method is applied to an integral formulation of the BVP. As discretization for the arising linear subproblems we employ adaptive collocation at Gaussian nodes with varying local orders and stepsizes. The grids are chosen via adaptive refinement and order selection.

    Beschreibung: In this article we present a method to implement orthogonal polynomials and many other special functions in Computer Algebra systems enabling the user to work with those functions appropriately, and in particular to verify different types of identities for those functions. Some of these identities like differential equations, power series representations, and hypergeometric representations can even dealt with algorithmically, i.\ e.\ they can be computed by the Computer Algebra system, rather than only verified. The types of functions that can be treated by the given technique cover the generalized hypergeometric functions, and therefore most of the special functions that can be found in mathematical dictionaries. The types of identities for which we present verification algorithms cover differential equations, power series representations, identities of the Rodrigues type, hypergeometric representations, and algorithms containing symbolic sums. The current implementations of special functions in existing Computer Algebra systems do not meet these high standards as we shall show in examples. They should be modified, and we show results of our implementations.

    Beschreibung: {\newcommand{\R} {{\rm {\mbox{\protect\makebox[.15em][l]{I}R}}}} Given a list of $n$ numbers in $\R $, one wants to decide wether every number in the list occurs at least $k$ times. I will show that $(1-\epsilon)n\log_3(n/k)$ is a lower bound for the depth of a linear decision tree determining this problem. This is done by using the Björner-Lov\'asz method, which turns the problem into one of estimating the Möbius function for a certain partition lattice. I will also calculate the exponential generating function for the Möbius function of a partition poset with restricted block sizes in general.}

    Beschreibung: We present an adaptive Rothe method for two--dimensional problems combining an embedded Runge--Kutta scheme in time and a multilevel finite element discretization in space. The spatial discretization error is controlled by a posteriori error estimates based on interpolation techniques. A computational example for a thermodiffusive flame propagation model illustrates the high accuracy that is possible with the proposed method.

    Beschreibung: The multicommodity linear formulation of the Fixed Charge Network Flow Design problem is known to have significantly sharp linear relaxation lower bounds. However the tradeoff is the introduction of a large amount of artificial variables. We exhibit a class of special instances for which the lower bound is tight. Further we completly describe the polyhedron in the space of the natural variables.

    Beschreibung: {\newcommand{\N} {{\rm {\mbox{\protect\makebox[.15em][l]{I}N}}}} In several publications the first author published an algorithm for the conversion of analytic functions for which derivative rules are given into their representing power series $\sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty}a_{k}z^{k}$ at the origin and vice versa, implementations of which exist in {\sc Mathematica}, {\sc Maple} and {\sc Reduce}. One main part of this procedure is an algorithm to derive a homogeneous linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients for the given function. We call this type of ordinary differential equations {\sl simple}. Whereas the opposite question to find functions satisfying given differential equations is studied in great detail, our question to find differential equations that are satisfied by given functions seems to be rarely posed. In this paper we consider the family $F$ of functions satisfying a simple differential equation generated by the rational, the algebraic, and certain transcendental functions. It turns out that $F$ forms a linear space of transcendental functions. % with polynomial function coefficients. Further $F$ is closed under multiplication and under the composition with rational functions and rational powers. These results had been published by Stanley who had proved them by theoretical algebraic considerations. In contrast our treatment is purely algorithmically oriented. We present algorithms that generate simple differential equation for $f+g$, $f\cdot g$, $f\circ r$ ($r$ rational), and $f\circ x^{p/q}$ ($p,q\in\N_0$), given simple differential equations for $f$, and $g$, and give a priori estimates for the order of the resulting differential equations. We show that all order estimates are sharp. After finishing this article we realized that in independent work Salvy and Zimmermann published similar algorithms. Our treatment gives a detailed description of those algorithms and their validity.}

    Beschreibung: Results from finite-element-calculations are usually visualized by colored surface- and contour-line-plots or polygonal patches or simply displaced lines and grids. In computer graphics however more advanced techniques like texture-mapping and NURBS are well established and there exist efficient algorithms and implementations. We show that these techniques are not only easy to use, but form a very natural and far more efficient approach for visualization of higher order finite-element's solutions like in $p$- and $h$-$p$-version. Texture-mapping is useful for displaying vector-valued data, too.

    Beschreibung: In Quantum Chemistry the field of Laser--Assisted Molecular Control'' has received a considerable amount of attention recently. One key problem in this new field is the simulation of the dynamical reaction of a molecule subjected to external radiation. This problem is described by the Schrödinger equation, which, after eigenfunction expansion, can be written in the form of a large system of ordinary differential equations, the solutions of which show a highly oscillatory behaviour. The oscillations with high frequencies and small amplitudes confine the stepsizes of any numerical integrator -- an effect, which, in turn, blows up the simulation time. Larger stepsizes can be expected by averaging these fast oscillations, thus smoothing the trajectories. Standard smoothing techniques (averaging, filtering) would kill the whole process and thus, lead to wrong numerical results. To avoid this unwanted effect and nevertheless speed up computations, this paper presents a quasiresonant smoothing algorithm (QRS). In QRS, a natural splitting parameter $\delta$ controls the smoothing properties. An adaptive QRS--version (AQRS) is presented which includes an error estimation scheme for choosing this parameter $\delta$ in order to meet a given accuracy requirement. In AQRS $\delta$ is permanently adapted to the solution properties for computing the chemically necessary information'' only. The performance of AQRS is demonstrated in several test problems from the field Laser--Assisted Selective Excitation of Molecules'' in which the external radiation is a picosecond laser pulse. In comparison with standard methods speedup factors of the order of $10^2$ are observed.

    Beschreibung: This article describes the REDUCE package ZEILBERG implemented by Gregor Stölting and the author. The REDUCE package ZEILBERG is a careful implementation of the Gosper (The sum package contains also a partial implementation of the Gosper algorithm.) and Zeilberger algorithms for indefinite, and definite summation of hypergeometric terms, respectively. An expression $a_k$ is called a {\sl hypergeometric term} (or {\sl closed form}), if $a_{k}/a_{k-1}$ is a rational function with respect to $k$. Typical hypergeometric terms are ratios of products of powers, factorials, $\Gamma$ function terms, binomial coefficients, and shifted factorials (Pochhammer symbols) that are integer-linear in their arguments.

    Beschreibung: We test the performance of the multicanonical approach for biological molecules. The simulated molecules are frustrated systems with a complicated energy landscape. The resulting slowing down in simulations is alleviated by our ansatz. We perform a multicanonical simulation of nonpolar amino acids and study their $\alpha$-helix propensities. The results are shown to be in agreement with recent experimental results.

    Beschreibung: In an array of coupled oscillators {\em synchronous chaos} may occur in the sense that all the oscillators behave identically although the corresponding motion is chaotic. When a parameter is varied this fully symmetric dynamical state can lose its stability, and the main purpose of this paper is to investigate which type of dynamical behavior is expected to be observed once the loss of stability has occurred. The essential tool is a classification of Lyapunov exponents based on the symmetry of the underlying problem. This classification is crucial in the derivation of the analytical results but it also allows an efficient computation of the dominant Lyapunov exponent associated with each symmetry type. We show how these dominant exponents determine the stability of invariant sets possessing various instantaneous symmetries and this leads to the idea of {\em symmetry breaking bifurcations of chaotic attractors}. Finally the results and ideas are illustrated for several systems of coupled oscillators.

    Beschreibung: The celebrated Zeilberger algorithm which finds holonomic recurrence equations for definite sums of hypergeometric terms $F(n,k)$ is extended to certain nonhypergeometric terms. An expression $F(n,k)$ is called hypergeometric term if both $F(n+1,k)/F(n,k)$ and $F(n,k+1)/F(n,k)$ are rational functions. Typical examples are ratios of products of exponentials, factorials, $\Gamma$ function terms, binomial coefficients, and Pochhammer symbols that are integer-linear with respect to $n$ and $k$ in their arguments. We consider the more general case of ratios of products of exponentials, factorials, $\Gamma$ function terms, binomial coefficients, and Pochhammer symbols that are rational-linear with respect to $n$ and $k$ in their arguments, and present an extended version of Zeilberger's algorithm for this case, using an extended version of Gosper's algorithm for indefinite summation. In a similar way the Wilf-Zeilberger method of rational function certification of integer-linear hypergeometric identities is extended to rational-linear hypergeometric identities. The given algorithms on definite summation apply to many cases in the literature to which neither the Zeilberger approach nor the Wilf-Zeilberger method is applicable. Examples of this type are given by theorems of Watson and Whipple, and a large list of identities (``Strange evaluations of hypergeometric series'') that were studied by Gessel and Stanton. It turns out that with our extended algorithms practically all hypergeometric identities in the literature can be verified. Finally we show how the algorithms can be used to generate new identities. REDUCE and MAPLE implementations of the given algorithms can be obtained from the author, many results of which are presented in the paper.

    Beschreibung: We investigate the behavior of randomized simplex algorithms on special linear programs. For this, we develop combinatorial models for the Klee-Minty cubes and similar linear programs with exponential decreasing paths. The analysis of two randomized pivot rules on the Klee-Minty cubes leads to (nearly) quadratic lower bounds for the complexity of linear programming with random pivots. Thus we disprove two bounds conjectured in the literature. At the same time, we establish quadratic upper bounds for random pivots on the linear programs under investigation. This motivates the question whether some randomized pivot rules possibly have quadratic worst-case behavior on general linear programs.

    Beschreibung: We consider nested iterations, in which the multigrid method is replaced by some simple basic iteration procedure, and call them {\em cascadic iterations}. They were introduced by Deuflhard, who used the conjugate gradient method as basic iteration (CCG method). He demonstrated by numerical experiments that the CCG method works within a few iterations if the linear systems on coarser triangulations are solved accurately enough. Shaidurov subsequently proved multigrid complexity for the CCG method in the case of $H^2$-regular two-dimensional problems with quasi-uniform triangulations. We show that his result still holds true for a large class of smoothing iterations as basic iteration procedure in the case of two- and three-dimensional $H^{1+\alpha}$-regular problems. Moreover we show how to use cascadic iterations in adaptive codes and give in particular a new termination criterion for the CCG method.

    Beschreibung: We investigate the problem of partitioning the nodes of a graph under capacity restriction on the sum of the node weights in each subset of the partition. The objective is to minimize the sum of the costs of the edges between the subsets of the partition. This problem has a variety of applications, for instance in the design of electronic circuits and devices. We present alternative integer programming formulations for this problem and discuss the links between these formulations. Having chosen to work in the space of edges of the multicut, we investigate the convex hull of incidence vectors of feasible multicuts. In particular, several classes of inequalities are introduced, and their strength and robustness are analyzed as various problem parameters change.

    Beschreibung: In this paper we consider the problem of $k$-partitioning the nodes of a graph with capacity restrictions on the sum of the node weights in each subset of the partition, and the objective of minimizing the sum of the costs of the edges between the subsets of the partition. Based on a study of valid inequalities, we present a variety of separation heuristics for so-called cycle, cycle with ears, knapsack tree and path-block-cycle inequalities. The separation heuristics, plus primal heuristics, have been implemented in a branch-and-cut routine using a formulation including the edges with nonzero costs and node variables. Results are presented for three classes of problems: equipartitioning problems arising in finite element methods and partitioning problems associated with electronic circuit layout and compiler design.

The 0/1 knapsack polytope is the convex hull of all 0/1 vectors that satisfy the inequality $$\sum_{i \in N} a_i x_i \leq F.$$ In this paper we present a linear description of the 0/1 knapsack polytope for the special case where $a_i \in \{\mu,\lambda\}$ for all items $i \in N$ and $1 \leq \mu 〈 \lambda \leq b$ are two natural numbers. The inequalities needed for this description involve elements of the Hilbert basis of a certain cone. The principle of generating inequalities based on elements of a Hilbert basis suggests further extensions.}

For this we study in detail Met-enkephalin, one of the simplest peptides. We show that the new method not only outperforms simulated annealing in the search of the energy groundstate but also provides more statistical-mechanical information about the system.

Unlike to simulated annealing the relationship to the canonical ensemble remains exactly controlled. Hence, the new method allows not only the prediction of the lowest-energy conformation, but also the calculation of thermodynamic quantities at various temperature from one run.

    Beschreibung: Large chemical computations show the need for full adaptivity supporting the development of robust and highly efficient programs. For solutions possessing sharp moving spatial transitions, as travelling wavefronts or emerging boundary and internal layers, an automatic adjustment of both the space and the time stepsize is generally accepted to be more successful in efficient resolving critical regions of high spatial and temporal activity. In contrast to the widespread discretization sequence first space then time the reversed sequence first time then space is employed. Full adaptivity of the proposed algorithm is realized by combining embedded time discretization and multilevel finite element space discretization. In this paper the algorithm is described for one--dimensional problems. The numerical results show the significantly new perspectives opened by this approach.

    Beschreibung: An error controlled finite elemente method (FEM) for solving stationary Schrödinger equations in three space dimensions is proposed. The method is based on an adaptive space discretization into tetrahedra and local polynomial basis functions of order $p=1$--$5$ defined on these tetrahedra. According to a local error estimator the triangulation is automatically adapted to the solution. Numerical results for standard problems appearing in vibrational motion and molecular structure calculations are presented and discussed. Relative precisions better than 1e-8 are obtained. For equilateral H$_3^{++}$ the adaptive FEM turns out to be superior to global basis set expansions in the literature. Our precise FEM results exclude in a definite manner the stability or metastability of equilateral H$_3^{++}$ in its groundstate.

    Beschreibung: {\def\NP{\hbox{$\cal N\kern-.1667em\cal P$}} The {\sl storage assignment problem} asks for the cost minimal assignment of containers with different sizes to storage locations with different capacities. Such problems arise, for instance, in the optimal control of automatic storage devices in flexible manufacturing systems. This problem is known to be $\NP$-hard in the strong sense. We show that the storage assignment problem is $\NP$-hard for {\sl bounded sizes and capacities}, even if the sizes have values $1$ and~$2$ and the capacities value~$2$ only, a case we encountered in practice. Moreover, we prove that no polynomial time $\epsilon$-approximation algorithm exists. This means that almost all storage assignment problems arising in practice are indeed hard.}

    Beschreibung: We consider the numerical treatment of Hamiltonian systems that contain a potential which grows large when the system deviates from the equilibrium value of the potential. Such systems arise, e.g., in molecular dynamics simulations and the spatial discretization of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. Since the presence of highly oscillatory terms in the solutions forces any explicit integrator to use very small step-size, the numerical integration of such systems provides a challenging task. It has been suggested before to replace the strong potential by a holonomic constraint that forces the solutions to stay at the equilibrium value of the potential. This approach has, e.g., been successfully applied to the bond stretching in molecular dynamics simulations. In other cases, such as the bond-angle bending, this methods fails due to the introduced rigidity. Here we give a careful analysis of the analytical problem by means of a smoothing operator. This will lead us to the notion of the smoothed dynamics of a highly oscillatory Hamiltonian system. Based on our analysis, we suggest a new constrained formulation that maintains the flexibility of the system while at the same time suppressing the high-frequency components in the solutions and thus allowing for larger time steps. The new constrained formulation is Hamiltonian and can be discretized by the well-known SHAKE method.

    Beschreibung: We investigate the generating sets (``Gröbner bases'') of integer lattices which correspond to the Gröbner bases of the associated binomial ideals. Extending results in Sturmfels and Thomas, preprint 1994, we obtain a geometric characterization of the universal Gröbner basis in terms of the vertices and edges of the associated corner polyhedra. We emphasize the special case where the lattice has finite index. In this case the corner polyhedra were studied by Gomory, and there is a close connection to the ``group problem in integer programming'' Schrijver, p.~363. We present exponential lower and upper bounds for the size of a reduced Gröbner basis. The initial complex of (the ideal of) a lattice is shown to be dual to the boundary of a certain simple polyhedron.

    Beschreibung: We consider periodic orbits of autonomous parameter dependent ODE's. Starting from a shooting algorithm for the numerical computation of periodic orbits via an adaptive Poincar\'e-section we develop a pathfollowing algorithm for periodic solutions based on a tangential continuation method with implicit reparametrization. For ODE's equivariant w.r.t. a finite group we show that spatial as well as spatio-temporal symmetries of periodic orbits can be exploited within the (multiple) shooting context. We describe how turning points, period doubling bifurcations and Hopf points along the branch of periodic solutions can be handled. Furthermore equivariant Hopf points and generic secondary bifurcations of periodic orbits with $ Z_m$-symmetry are treated. We tested the code with standard examples, e.g., the period doubling cascade in the Lorenz equations. To show the efficiency of the described methods we also used the program for an application from electronics, a ring oscillator with $n $ inverters. In this example the exploitation of symmetry reduces the amount of work for the continuation of periodic orbits from ${\cal O}(n^2)$ to ${\cal O}(n)$

    Beschreibung: In this article algorithmic methods are presented that have been incorporated in computer algebra systems in the last five years. The methods can be used to identify transcendental functions. The essential idea due to Zeilberger is to represent the functions by systems of holonomic differential and recurrence equations, and the identification procedure utilizes algorithms of Stanley and Zeilberger. Also a noncommutative version of the Buchberger algorithm can be applied.

    Beschreibung: In this paper we modify Buchberger's $S$-pair reduction algorithm for computing a Gröbner basis of a toric ideal so as to apply to an integer program in inequality form with fixed right hand sides and fixed upper bounds on the variables. We formulate the algorithm in the original space and interpret the reduction steps geometrically. In fact, three variants of this algorithm are presented and we give elementary proofs for their correctness. A relationship between these (exact) algorithms, iterative improvement heuristics and the Kernighan-Lin procedure is established.

    Beschreibung: Adopting a statistical approach for the computation of turbulent combustion flows an approximation for the probability density function (PDF) of the composition variables is often required to treat the highly non-linear reaction term in a satisfactory way. One class of methods currently being used are the moment methods which employ transport equations for low order statistical moments and use a parametrized shape of the PDF. A second class solves a transport equation for the joint PDF by a Monte Carlo method. In the present paper we develop an intermediate algorithm based on a Galerkin method for the PDF transport equation. The solution is developed in terms of an orthogonal or bi-orthogonal basis of a suitable Hilbert space. The unconventional use of the related weight function as a prefactor (moving weight approach) permits adaptivity and results in a generalization of the $\beta-$closure for bounded scalar quantities. We present the approximation procedure in detail and apply it to the evolution of the composition in a homogeneous well-stirred reactor. The extension to non-homogeneous flow simulations is straightforward.

    Beschreibung: Combinatorial optimization problems pervade many areas of human problem solving especially in the fields of business, economics and engineering. Intensive mathematical research and vast increases in raw computing power have advanced the state of the art in exact and heuristic problem solving at a pace that is unprecedented in human history. We survey here in layman's terms some of the fundamental concepts and principles that have led this progress. (This article will appear -- possibly in modified form -- in a popular science magazine.)

    Beschreibung: {\def\N{{\mbox{{\rm I\kern-0.22emN}}}} Given a set $N$ of items and a capacity $b \in \N$, and let $N_j$ be the set of items with weight $j$, $1 \leq j \leq b$. The 0/1 knapsack polytope is the convex hull of all 0/1 vectors that satisfy the inequality $$\sum_{j=1}^b \sum_{i \in N_j} jx_i \leq b.$$ In this paper we first present a complete linear description of the 0/1 knapsack polytope for two special cases: (a) $N_j = \emptyset$ for all $1 〈 j \leq \lfloor {b \over 2} \rfloor$ and (b) $N_j = \emptyset$ for all $1 〈 j \leq \lfloor {b \over 3} \rfloor$ and $N_j = \emptyset$ for all $j \geq \lfloor {b \over 2} \rfloor + 1$. It turns out that the inequalities that are needed for the complete description of these special polytopes are derived by means of some ``reduction principle''. This principle is then generalized to yield valid and in many cases facet defining inequalities for the general 0/1 knapsack polytope. The separation problem for this class of inequalities can be solved in pseudo polynomial time via dynamic programming techniques.}

    Beschreibung: In the field of deep regional hyperthermia, one of the most widely used devices is the BSD--2000 Hyperthermia System which employs the Sigma 60 applicator. The Sigma 60 consists of four independent sources, giving it the potential to control the energy pattern within the patient. The independent amplitudes and phases, as well as frequency selection and applicator position, present a large number of parameters for the operator to determine. Computer simulation has long been recognized as an attractive approach to optimizing these parameters. A treatment planning program was used in clinical practice at Stanford University Medical Center for two years. It demonstrated the feasibility of computer simulation for deep regional hyperthermia in a clinical situation. However, several parts of this system were written in a language specific to one workstation, which severely restricted the wider distribution of the program to other users of the Sigma 60. A new treatment planning system for the BSD 2000 has been developed and put into clinical practice at the Rudolf Virchow Clinic of the Free University of Berlin. The new method, which we will refer to as the Berlin system, has a simpler model construction program and a considerably better graphics capability. However, the most important feature is that all programs are written in FORTRAN, C, or the X Window graphics system. Therefore, the entire treatment planning system is completely portable to other workstations.

    Beschreibung: In this paper we describe several versions of the routing problem arising in VLSI design and indicate how the Steiner tree packing problem can be used to model these problems mathematically. We focus on switchbox routing problems and provide integer programming formulations for routing in the knock-knee and in the Manhattan model. We give a brief sketch of cutting plane algorithms that we developed and implemented for these two models. We report on computational experiments using standard test instances. Our codes are able to determine optimum solutions in most cases, and in particular, we can show that some of the instances have no feasible solution if Manhattan routing is used instead of knock-knee routing.

    Beschreibung: The aim of this paper is to compute all isolated solutions to symmetric polynomial systems. Recently, it has been proved that modelling the sparse structure of the system by its Newton polytopes leads to a computational breakthrough in solving the system. In this paper, it will be shown how the Lifting Algorithm, proposed by Huber and Sturmfels, can be applied to symmetric Newton polytopes. This symmetric version of the Lifting Algorithm enables the efficient construction of the symmetric subdivision, giving rise to a symmetric homotopy, so that only the generating solutions have to be computed. Efficiency is obtained by combination with the product homotopy. Applications illustrate the practical significance of the presented approach.

    Beschreibung: \begin{footnotesize} \noindent Combining electronic specialized information, such as electronic information retrieval from central databases, with the new means of communication opens up new perspectives for mathematics in Germany. Based on the current Fachinformationsprojekt (Specialized Information Project) run by the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV) and supported by the Federal Minister for Research and Technology (BMFT), the DMV is planning a new infrastructure activity for mathematics. This activity will not only include mathematical university departments and research institutes, but also partners from mathematical research laboratories in industry as well as suppliers of mathematical information, in particular, scientific publishing houses, the Technical Information Library (TIB) Hannover, university libraries and -- last but not least -- the Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ) Karlsruhe with the Zentralblatt für Mathematik. \noindent On the technical basis of the Internet and its worldwide information services (Gopher, WAIS, World Wide Web, Hyper-G, ftp and e-mail), a distributed mathematical information system is to be created, whose partners make their local resources available both to other partners and to the worldwide Internet community. These aims can be achieved by means of the consequent use of software that is structured according to the client-server model and distributed and accepted within the Internet. \noindent Providing the technical equipment, however, is by far not enough. Without the creation of a personal, technical and organizational infrastructure, realization of such a project will not be possible. For every partner the realization of the following measures is envisaged:\\[-7mm] \noindent \end{footnotesize} \begin{small} \begin{itemize} \item[*] Establishing an Information Coordinator\/ at every participating institution\\[-8mm] \item[*] Creation of a Forum for Mathematical Information\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Installation and maintenance of Mathematical Information Stations\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Participation in national and international Standardization Activities\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Regular workshops and training courses, public relations\\[-7mm] \end{itemize} \noindent The following activities (carried out by all partners or within pilot projects by special groups) focusing on mathematical and mathematics-related information are planned:\\[-7mm] \noindent \begin{itemize} \item[*] Set up of Electronic Information Systems\/ by all partners \\[-8mm] \item[*] Distributed\/ electronic offer of Preprints\/ and scripts (full texts) by all partners\\[-8mm] \item[*] Distributed\/ electronic offer of Software and Data Collections\/ by all partners\\[-8mm] \item[*] Access to Global Information Systems in Mathematics\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Organization of a Living Museum of Mathematics\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Access to {\it Electronic Library Catalogs,}\/ esp.~to libraries of university departments\\[-8mm] \item[*] Electronic offer of Scanned Historical Books and Documents\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Creation and management of Electronic Mathematical Journals\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Creation of a framework for various kinds of Electronic Reviewing\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Testing of new methods for Electronic Document Delivery\/\\[-8mm] \item[*] Electronic Project Organization\/\\[-7mm] \end{itemize} \noindent \end{small} \begin{footnotesize} The project aims, at its beginning, at the creation of an information infrastructure for database retrieval, e-mail, electronic conferencing and subject-specific information networks. Its focus is on mathematics in Germany. The general scope, however, is broader. The project is open for discussion, coordination, and cooperation with partners in other areas of science, industry or in other countries. It is also hoped that this project may form an example along which other models of electronic information and communication can be developed. Moreover, the project is also meant to enhance the offer from German mathematics to the worldwide "give and take" within the Internet community. \end{footnotesize}

    Notizen: Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the natural history and management of surgically unresectable intra-abdominal desmoid tumors in two patients with Gardner's syndrome from two unrelated families, where each had failed on conventional therapy. METHODS: Two patients with Gardner's syndrome were placed on a chemotherapy regimen which included doxorubicin (90 mg/m2) and dacarbazine (900 mg/m2) in divided doses over four days of continuous infusion. Their progress on chemotherapy was assessed by abdominal computerized tomography and laparoscopy. RESULTS: The computerized abdominal tomography scans proved difficult to interpret because of adhesions and matted small bowel resulting from the patients original colectomies. These findings made it difficult to differentiate postoperative changes from residual desmoid tumor. Second-look laparotomy in such patients was contraindicated as this may predispose to further desmoid production. Laparoscopy disclosed a complete response to this chemotherapy. Nevertheless, we had an iatrogenic small bowel perforation in one of these patients. Each patient showed a complete response to chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection remains the first-line treatment of intra-abdominal desmoid tumors. However, doxorubicin/ dacarbazine chemotherapy on a clinical trial basis may be indicated in patients whose intra-abdominal desmoid is unresectable, or who have failed to respond to treatment with hormones (tamoxifen, Toremifene), steroids (prednisone), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (Clinoril®; Merck & Co., Inc., West Point, PA).

    Notizen: Abstract Genetic ecology is the extension of our modern knowledge in molecular genetics to studies of viability, gene expression and gene movements in natural environments like soils, aquifers and digestive tracts. In such milieux, the horizontal transfer of plasmid-borne genes between phylogenetically distant species has already been found to be much more frequent than had been expected from laboratory experience. For the study of exchanges involving chromosomally-located genes, more has to be learned about the behaviour of transposons in such environments. The results expected from studies in genetic ecology are relevant for considerations of evolution, biodiversity and biosafety. The role of this new field of research in restoring popular confidence in science and in its biotechnological applications is stressed.

    Notizen: Abstract To investigate a possible involvement of HLA-class II alleles in the genetic predisposition for the formation of anti-U1-nRNP antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), genomic DNA of 178 patients was typed for the DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and non-radioactive-oligonucleotide typing. Antibodies against recombinant U1-nRNP proteins (U1-A- U1-C-and 70K-protein) were determined by ELISA. Anti-U1-C antibody was found in 26 (14.7%), anti-U1-A in 34 (19.2%) and anti-70K in 17 (9.6%) patients. A joint occurrence was observed for these antibodies against the recombinant U1-nRNP proteins: anti-U1-C and anti-U1-A antibodies occurred together more frequently than alone and than together with anti-U1-70K antibodies. The frequency of DRB1 * 04 was slightly increased in the patients with anti-U1-C as compared to the patients without anti-U1-C (P〈0.05, Pcorr=n.s., RR=2.4). The DQA1 * 0301 allele, which is in linkage disequilibrium with DRB1 * 04, is found more frequently in anti-U1-C-positive than in antibody-negative patients. The DQB1 * 0303 allele, detected in 12 of 176 SLE patients, was absent in the patients with any of the antibodies against the U1-nRNP proteins. All these deviations may be due to chance alone. We concluded that the presence of antibodies against recombinant U1-nRNP proteins was not significantly associated with any HLA DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 allele in our group of SLE patients.

    Notizen: Abstract A family is reported in which a 29-year-old woman showed the clinical features of myotonic dystrophy while her 26-year-old brother presented with the clinical picture of limb girdle syndrome. In the affected female, direct genetic testing for the specific myotonic dystrophy mutation on chromosome 19 revealed abnormal expansion of a repeat unit containing the three nucleotides cytosine, thymine, and guanine (CTG) — typical for myotonic dystrophy — while her diseased brother displayed two normal alleles. This supports the hypothesis of the extremely rare occurrence of two clinically and genetically different myopathies in one family. Genetic analysis of six other family members showed that the father of the diseased siblings as well as all of his three brothers and sisters had a pathological CTG repeat expansion, and that the other two family members tested had a normal allelic pattern. The number of CTG repeats in the diseased women was approximately tenfold higher than in her asymptomatic relatives who revealed an abnormal allelic pattern. The increase in CTG repeats with transmission to a subsequent generation in this family was paralleled by a dramatic increase in the severity of myotonic dystrophy.

    Notizen: Abstract      We describe a case of a desmoplastic brain tumor which was initially resected from the right fronto-temporal region in a 2 year-old boy. This nodular, calcified tumor was vascularized by the internal carotid artery and the middle meningeal artery branches. Grossly, it contained several mucoid cysts. Light microscopy showed cords or nests of small cuboidal cells surrounded by a loose connective tissue and desmoplasic areas containing fibers and spindle cells. The cuboidal cells expressed epithelial, neuronal and neuroendocrine markers. Some foci of spindle cells showed glial differentiation. The tumor recurred 16 months later and displayed some characteristics of the small cell neuroepithelial component, mitoses being conspicuous. Electron microscopy revealed undifferentiated clear cells, some containing neurosecretory granules. Karyotyping demonstrated the following formula: 〈 15 〉 46, t(8;11) (q13; q11). The chromosome 11 breakpoint was different from that described in Ewing's sarcoma. This isolated translocation has not been previously reported to our knowledge. These unusual features lead us to report this case and to discuss its pathogenesis.

    Notizen: Abstract Several missense mutations within exons 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the gene for Cu/Zn-binding superoxide dismutase (SOD1) have been discovered to be involved in the development of chromosome 21q-linked familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). We describe here an autopsied patient with FALS, in whom we have recently identified a novel missense mutation in exon 1 of the SOD1 gene. The neuropathological findings were compatible with those described previously in patients with FALS with posterior column involvement. This suggests that mutations of the SOD1 gene may be responsible for this form of FALS.

    Notizen: Summary Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) has a strong genetic component and maternal factors have recently been implicated in disease inheritance. The mitochondrial myopathies are a group of diseases which often show maternal inheritance as a result of mtDNA defects; some patients have impaired glucose tolerance. Occasional families with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness associated with a deletion or point mutation of mtDNA have been reported. To assess the importance of mitochondrial gene defects in NIDDM, 150 unrelated diabetic subjects from Wales, UK and 68 unrelated patients with diabetes and at least one affected sibling from England, UK were studied. Southern blot analysis did not show any large mtDNA deletions or duplications. One patient had a mutation in the mitochondrial tRNAleu(UUR) gene at bp 3243. This mutation is commonly associated with the syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke like episodes (MELAS). Study of this patient and his siblings showed a distinct form of late-onset diabetes associated with nerve deafness but no clinical features of the MELAS syndrome. No diabetic subject was shown to have the mtDNA mutation at position 8344 (tRNAlys) which has previously been described in the syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and red-ragged fibres (MERRF). The role of other mitochondrial gene defects in diabetes and the pathophysiological basis of glucose intolerance in patients with the MELAS mutation requires further elucidation.

    Notizen: Abstract The present paper reviews the evidence for a possible involvement of renal eicosanoids in the pathophysiology of high blood pressure in genetically hypertensive rats of the Lyon strain. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that an increased ability to synthesize the vasoconstrictor prostaglandin H2 and/or thromboxane A2 in renal vessels (1) acts as an autocrine amplifier of pressor agents and (2) may contribute to resetting the pressure natriuresis curve which is a prerequisite for the development and maintenance of hypertension.

    Notizen: Summary In Finland the haplotype A2, Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8 is the third most common haplotype in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients and has the highest haplotype-specific absolute risk for IDDM. Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8 haplotypes containing HLA-A alleles other than A2 are infrequent in the population and are not associated with IDDM. Comparison of the A2 and non-A2 haplotypes at the DNA level showed that they were identical at HLA-B,-DR, and -DQ loci. Evidence that class I alleles confer susceptibility to IDDM was obtained from the two HLA-C, -B, -DR and -DQ haplotypes most frequently found in IDDM patients in Finland. A24, A3 and A2 on the Cw3, B62, DR4, DQ8 haplotype, and A28, A2 and A1 on the Cw7, B8, DR3, DQ2 were all found to be associated with IDDM. In Finland these seven haplotypes, including A2, Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8, account for 33% of diabetic haplotypes and 10.3% of non-diabetic haplotypes (p〈0.00001). The contribution of the class I region to IDDM susceptibility was also apparent in those IDDM patients lacking the disease-predisposing class II alleles. Significantly more non-DR3/non-DR4 IDDM patients (47 of 55) possessed two of the IDDM-associated HLA-A alleles compared to non-DR3/non-DR4 control subjects (40 of 58; p=0.038). Moreover, IDDM patients confirmed by oligotyping as unable to form a ‘diabetes-susceptibility’ DQ heterodimer, tended to possess two diabetes-associated HLA-A alleles (12 of 13) compared to control subjects (12 of 20; p=0.056).

One family member presents with findings suggesting a forme fruste of this disease. Increased surveillance of family members of individuals with discrete subaortic membrane is warranted, as the clinical findings of mild subaortic obstruction may be indistinguishable from those of an innocent flow murmur.

    Notizen: Abstract We have obtained one plant regenerated from rye tissue culture which showed a high percentage of polyembryonic seeds in its progeny. The mutation inducing the development of extra embryos is also influencing erroneous cell division, mitosis and meiosis. The genetic analysis indicated that the aptitude for polyembryonic seed formation is a heritable trait controlled by a dominant gene. However, for expression of the phenotype the female parent should have a specific cytoplasm.

    Notizen: Abstract Clinical and EEG family data of 140 cases with early childhood epilepsy with absences are presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate, whether the occurrence of generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) as a presenting symptom might correlate with family data, i.e. whether there are indications of heterogeneity. One hundred and forty cases were selected from the epilepsy family data base of the Neuropaediatric Department. The selection parameter was epilepsy with absences manifesting between the 1 st and 5th year of age. The incidence of seizures was evaluated in siblings, parents and parents' siblings. EEG records were available from 103 parents and 106 siblings. The analysis supports the assumption of heterogeneity within early childhood absence epilepsy. Parents and their sibs of cases manifesting with GTCS had seizures twice as often than parents and their sibs in the non-GTCS group. In the affected relatives of the GTCS group early onset GTCS prevailed, whereas in the relatives of the non-GTCS group absences were found more frequently. The EEG of relatives showed elevated incidences of spikes and waves and photosensitivity in both groups, indicating common genetic factors. In parents of the non-GTCS group, however, EEG pathology was significantly more frequent than in parents of the GTCS group. Comparing EEG pathology in parents with seizure risk in siblings, evidence for maternal preponderance in transmission of the seizure liability was found. Mothers' EEG seems to be the best predictor of the seizure risk in probands' siblings. Early childhood epilepsy with absences can be regarded as an intermediate type, showing overlap with early onset GTCS and myoclonic astatic epilepsy on the one side and with childhood absence epilepsy on the other.

    Notizen: Abstract The incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) were compared, controlling for age, in native-born Israelis of different origins and in immigrants to Israel. This comparison was carried out in two populations, countrywide and in Jerusalem. In the countrywide population, ascertainment was based mainly on hospitalizations; it included 252 patients who were native-born and 150 who had immigrated from Africa-Asia (AA immigrants). The 89 MS patients of Jerusalem also included patients diagnosed in outpatient clinics. In native-born Israelis whose father was born in Europe-America (I-EA), the incidence and prevalence of MS were found to be as high as or even higher than that found previously in immigrants from Europe-America. Among native-born Israelis whose father was born in Africa or Asia (I-AA), the yearly age-adjusted incidence and prevalence rates were found to be 1.4- to 1.8-fold higher than among AA immigrants, pointing to environmental factors. The incidence and prevalence rates in the I-EA were 1.2- to 1.6-fold higher than in the I-AA, pointing to genetic factors. These results seem to point to both environmental and genetic factors in the aetiology of MS. Further research is needed, however, to disentangle the genetic factors from possible environmental differences in the two ethnic groups.

    Notizen: Abstract As part of a follow-up and family study of post-partum psychoses, this episode of illness being the first leading to psychiatric hospitalisation, patients with puerperal episodes (PE) and nonpuerperal episodes (NPE) of illness in the long-term course (n=79) were compared to patients with PE only (n=40). Few differences were found. Relatives of patients with PE only had a lower morbidity risk for functional psychoses than relatives of patients with PE and NPE. A favourable course of illness in the presence of a low genetic predisposition may be expected, according to the diathesis-stress model of functional psychoses.

    Notizen: Abstract Fifteen patients aged 11–25 years (mean 15.37, SD 3.89) suffering from juvenile absence epilepsy are presented. Only 3 (20%) had absences (AS) as the only seizure type, 12 (80%) had associated generalized tonic-clinic seizures (GTCS) and in the remaining 3 with absences and GTCS there was also sporadic myoclonus. We found a higher frequency of AS in our patients by clinical history and video-EEG than has been previously reported. In our patients the mean age of onset in years was 11.4, SD 1.24 for AS, 13.12, SD 2.31 for GTCS and 12.5, SD 2.18 for myoclonus. The correct diagnosis was not made on referrals for any of the patients. It took an average of 3–5.5 years from the onset of the AS (range: 6–120 months) and 2 years from the occurrence of GTCS (average: 1–72 months) to make the correct diagnosis and institute proper treatment, which was valproic acid (VPA). The GTCS were controlled in all patients whereas AS continued in 6 (40%), but to a significantly lesser degree. The frequency and the duration of the GTCS before the start of VPA treatment seemed to have an adverse effect on AS control. We documented no circadian rhythm in either AS or the GTCS, except in 2 patients who had AS and GTCS mainly when they awoke in the morning. The sample size was too small to perform a proper genetic study, though a positive history of epilepsies of mixed types was obtained in 35.7% of the parents and the siblings of the probands.

    Notizen: Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and one morphological marker were used to investigate quantitative trait loci (QTL) for morphological and physiological traits evaluated on 150 F2∶3 maize (Zea mays L.) lines derived from the cross of elite U.S. Corn Belt inbreds Mo17 and H99. F2∶3 lines were grown in a replicated experiment and evaluated for plant and ear heights and flowering traits. QTL were identified for each trait, and genetic effects were determined. Estimated gene action for the flowering traits was predominantly overdominance. Both parents contributed toward increased values for anthesis and silk emergence. QTL for increased plant and ear heights were usually contributed by the taller parent, Mo17. Estimated gene action for these traits was mainly partial to overdominance. QTL for plant height were located in the vicinity of loci defined by alleles with qualitative effects on plant height.

    Notizen: Abstract Recent work has revealed random chromosome pairing and assortment in Saccharum spontaneum L., the most widely distributed, and morphologically and cytologically variable of the species of Saccharum. This conclusion was based on the analysis of a segregating population from across between S. spontaneum ‘SES 208’ and a spontaneously-doubled haploid of itself, derived from anther culture. To determine whether polysomic inheritance is common in Saccharum and whether it is observed in a typical biparental cross, we studied chromosome pairing and assortment in 44 progeny of a cross between euploid, meiotically regular, 2n=80 forms of Saccharum officinarum ‘LA Purple’ and Saccharum robustum ‘ Mol 5829’. Papuan 2n=80 forms of S. robustum have been suggested as the immediate progenitor species for cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum). A total of 738 loci in LA Purple and 720 loci in Mol 5829 were amplified and typed in the progeny by arbitrarily primed PCR using 45 primers. Fifty and 33 single-dose polymorphisms were identified in the S. officinarum and S. robustum genomes, respectively (χ 2 at 98%). Linkage analysis of single-dose polymorphisms in both genomes revealed linkages in repulsion and coupling phases. In the S. officinarum genome, a map hypothesis gave 7 linkage groups with 17 linked and 33 unlinked markers. Four of 13 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase and 9 were in coupling phase. In the S. robustum genome, a map hypothesis gave 5 linkage groups, defined by 12 markers, with 21 markers unlinked, and 2 of 9 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase. Therefore, complete polysomic inheritance was not observed in either species, suggesting that chromosomal behavior is different from that observed by linkage analysis of over 500 markers in the S. spontaneum map. Implications of this finding for evolution and breeding are discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract The inheritance of phosphorous (P) — deficiency tolerance in rice was investigated by a sevenparent diallel. The parent materials involved were four P-efficient (IR20, IR54, IR28, and Mahsuri), one moderately P-efficient (TN1), and two P-inefficient (IR31406333-1 and IR34686-179-1-2-1), genotypes. Relative tilering ability (RTA) under P-deficient and P-supplemented soil conditions was the parameter used in determining the tolerance level of the different genotypes. Diallel graph analysis revealed that tolerant parents have an excess of recessive genes, while moderate and susceptible parents possess more dominant genes. Genetic-component analysis suggested that both additive and dominance gene effects are involved in the inheritance of P-deficiency tolerance in rice. The trait exhibited over doiminance as confirmed by the graphical analysis. Narrow-sense heritability of the trait was moderate (0.50) and environmental effects were low. Both the general combining ability (GCA) and the specific combining ability (SCA) were significant, but GCA was more prevalent than SCA. Tolerant parents exhibited a high GCA whereas susceptibles have a very poor GCA, suggesting that tolerant parents were mostly enriched in additive genes and susceptible parents in non-additive genes. Crosses involving two high general combiners showed low SCA effects whereas crosses between poor general combiners manifested highly-significant SCA values.

    Notizen: Abstract The concentration of potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), as measured by a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in the foliage of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) of cv ‘Maris Piper’ with secondary infection was 2900 ng/g leaf, whereas in clones G7445(1) and G7032(5) it was 180 ng/g leaf and 120 ng/g leaf, respectively. To examine the genetic control of resistance to PLRV multiplication, reciprocal crosses were made between the susceptible cultivar ‘Maris Piper’ and the two resistant clones, and the three parents were selfed. Seedling progenies of these families were grown to generate tubers of individual genotypes (clones). Clonally propagated plants were graft-inoculated, and their daughter tubers were collected and used to grow plants with secondary infection in which PLRV concentration was estimated. The expression of resistance to PLRV multiplication had a bimodal distribution in progenies from crosses between ‘Maris Piper’ and either resistant clone, and also in progeny from selfing the resistant parents, with genotypes segregating into high and low virus titre groups. Only the progeny obtained from selfing ‘Maris Piper’ did not segregate, all genotypes being susceptible to PLRV multiplication. The pattern of segregation obtained from these progenies fits more closely with the genetical hypothesis that resistance to PLRV multiplication is controlled by two unlinked dominant complementary genes, both of which are required for resistance, than with the simpler hypothesis that resistance is conferred by a single dominant gene, as published previously.

    Notizen: Abstract RFLPs were used to investigate components of host-plant response to Exserohilum turcicum in 150 unselected F2∶3 lines of a B52/Mo17 maize population. Following inoculation with spore suspensions of the pathogen (race 0), components of disease development were measured and then quantitative trait mapping was performed to identify the location and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining host-plant response. Components of interest were the average number of lesions per leaf, the average percent leaf tissue diseased (severity) and the average size of lesions (cm2). Based on a LOD threshold of 2.31 (P〈0.05), the number of lesions appears to be associated with QTLs on chromosomes 1S, 3L, 5S. Severity was associated with analogous regions and, in addition, QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 8L. Most QTLs, for either of these two components, involve additive gene action and partial dominance or overdominance. In contrast, lesion size was associated with QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 5L; recessive gene action may be involved at 7L.

    Notizen: Abstract An F2 oat population was produced by crossing the diploid (n=7) species Avena strigosa (CI 3815) with A. wiestii (CI 1994), resistant and susceptible, respectively, to 40 isolates of Puccinia coronata, the causal agent of crown rust. Eighty-eight F2 individuals were used to construct an RFLP linkage map representing the A genome of cultivated hexaploid oat. Two hundred and eight RFLP loci have been placed into 10 linkage groups. This map covers 2416 cM, with an average of 12 cM between RFLP loci. Eighty-eight F3 lines, derived from F2 individuals used to construct the map, were screened for resistance to 9 isolates of P. coronata. One locus, Pca, was found to confer a dominant resistance phenotype to isolates 203, 258, 263, 264B, 290, 298, 325A, and 345. Pca also conferred resistance to isolate 276; however, an unlinked second gene may also be involved.

    Notizen: Abstract Variability exists among worker honey bees for components of division of labor. These components are of two types, those that affect foraging behavior and those that affect life-history characteristics of workers. Variable foraging behavior components are: the probability that foraging workers collect (1) pollen only; (2) nectar only; and (3) pollen and nectar on the same trip. Life history components are: (1) the age the workers initiate foraging behavior; (2) the length of the foraging life of a worker; and (3) worker length of life. We show how these components may interact to change the social organization of honey bee colonies and the lifetime foraging productivity of individual workers. Selection acting on foraging behavior components may result in changes in the proportion of workers collecting pollen and nectar. Selection acting on life-history components may affect the size of the foraging population and the distribution of workers between within nest and foraging activities. We suggest that these components define possible sociogenic “pathways” through which colony-level natural selection can change social organization. These pathways may be analogous to developmental pathways in the morphogenesis of individual organisms because small changes in behavioral or life history components of individual workers may lead to major changes in the organizational structure of colonies.

Here we determine whether these puzzling results are best explained by either inadequate sampling of the laying worker population or reproductive conflict among workers resulting in differential treatment of eggs and larvae. Using colonies composed of workers from electrophoretically distinct subfamilies, we collected samples of adult bees engaged in the following behavior: “true” egg laying, “false” egg laying, indeterminate egg laying, egg cannibalism, or nursing (contact with larvae). We also collected samples of drone brood at four different ages: 0 to 2.5-h-old eggs, 0 to 24-h-old eggs, 3 to 8-day-old larvae, and 9 to 14-day-old larvae and pupae. Allozyme analyses revealed significant subfamily differences in the likelihood of exhibiting egg laying, egg cannibalism, and nursing behavior, as well as significant subfamily differences in drone production. There were no subfamily differences among the different types of laying workers collected from each colony, suggesting that discrepancies between subfamily biases in egg-laying behavior and drone production are not due to inadequate sampling of the laying worker population. Subfamily biases in drone brood production within a colony changed significantly with brood age. Laying workers had significantly more developed ovaries than either egg cannibals or nurses, establishing a physiological correlate for the observed behavioral genetic differences. These results suggest there is reproductive conflict among subfamilies and individuals within queenless colonies of honey bees. The implications of these results for the evolution of reproductive conflict, in both queenright and queenless contexts, are discussed.

    Notizen: Summary Three experiments were performed to determine whether brood care in honey bee colonies is influenced by colony genetic structure and by social context. In experiment 1, there were significant genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on observations of individually labeled workers of known age belonging to two visually distinguishable subfamilies. In experiment 2, no genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing drones or workers was detected, in the same colonies that were used in experiment 1. In experiment 3, there again were significant genotypic differences in the likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on electrophoretic analyses of workers from a set of colonies with allozyme subfamily markers. There also was an overall significant trend for colonies to show greater subfamily differences in queen rearing when the queens were sisters (half- and super-sisters) rather than unrelated, but these differences were not consistent from trial to trial for some colonies. Results of experiments 1 and 3 demonstrate genotypic differences in queen rearing, which has been reported previously based on more limited behavioral observations. Results from all three experiments suggest that genotypic differences in brood care are influenced by social context and may be more pronounced when workers have a theoretical opportunity to practice nepotism. Finally, we failed to detect persistent interindividual differences in bees from either subfamily in the tendency to rear queen brood, using two different statistical tests. This indicates that the probability of queen rearing was influenced by genotypic differences but not by the effect of prior queen-rearing experience. These results suggest that subfamilies within a colony can specialize on a particular task, such as queen rearing, without individual workers performing that task for extended periods of time.

    Notizen: Abstract At the present time alcoholism is recognized as a metabolic disease exhibiting the clinical features of craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, tolerance and physical dependence on alcohol, while both epidemiological and experimental studies have demonstrated that genetic factors may be important in determining whether an individual has a high or low vulnerability to develop alcoholism. Evidence also indicates that alcoholism is not characterized by a single gene single allele inheritance. Instead it seems that multiple genes and environmental factors interact to increase or decrease an individual's vulnerability to become an alcoholic. Current research is aimed at investigating whether certain behavioral, physiological and biochemical markers are highly associated with the incidence of alcoholism. Among the biochemical markers currently under investigation is the endogenous opioid system and its implication in mediating the reinforcing effects of ethanol. It is the objective of this manuscript to review current research on: (a) the interactions of ethanol with the endogenous opioid system at the molecular level; (b) the existence of genetically determined differences in the response of the endogenous opioid system to ethanol between subjects at high and low risk for excessive ethanol consumption, as well as between lines of animals showing preference or aversion for ethanol solutions; (c) the decrease of alcohol consumption following pretreatment with opioid antagonists; and (d) the possible use of specific opioid receptor antagonists together with behavioral therapy to modify drinking behavior, to control craving and to prevent relapse.

    Notizen: Abstract A chimeric gene encoding a ribozyme under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter was introduced into transgenic tobacco plants. In vivo activity of this ribozyme, which was designed to cleave npt mRNA, was previously demonstrated by transient expression assays in plant protoplasts. The ribozyme gene was transferred into transgenic tobacco plants expressing an rbcS-npt chimeric gene as an indicator. Five double transformants out of sixteen exhibited a reduction in the amount of active NPT enzyme. To measure the amount of ribozyme produced, in the absence of its target, the ribozyme and target genes were separated by genetic segregation. The steady-state concentrations of ribozyme and target RNA were shown to be similar in the resulting single transformants. Direct evidence for a correlation between reduced npt gene expression and ribozyme expression was provided by crossing a plant containing only the ribozyme gene with a transgenic plant expressing the npt gene under control of the 35S promoter, i.e. the same promoter used to direct ribozyme expression. The expression of npt was reduced in all progeny containing both transgenes. Both steady-state levels of npt mRNA and amounts of active NPT enzyme are decreased. In addition, our data indicate that, at least in stable transformants, a large excess of ribozyme over target is not a prerequisite for achieving a significant reduction in target gene expression.

    Notizen: Abstract Epidemiological and genetic variables for oral clefts were analysed for the years 1981–1989 in a case-control study of congenital malformations in the Emilia Romagna, Veneto, and Friuli regions, and in the Trento and Bolzano hospitals. Birth prevalence for all cases of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL(P)) was 8.2 per 10,000 births, and that for cleft palate only (CP) was 6.1 per 10,000. Coexisting abnormalities were found in 23% of CL(P) cases and in 43% of CP. No clusters in time or space were detected. For isolated clefts, a predominance of males among CL(P) and of females among CP was found; epilepsy was the only maternal risk factor correlated with clefts, and an association between clefting and consanguinity was found. Empirical recurrence risks were calculated in both isolated CL(P) and CP.

    Notizen: A new class of materials based on a spirodilactam structure has been recently synthesized as part of research into new polymeric materials. Not only is the spirodilactam structure novel, but it was not even the intended product in the synthesis as originally designed. The polymerization process discovered by the reaction of 4-ketopimelic acid or its corresponding spirodilactone with primary amines opened a new field of polysprodilactam chemistry. This paper describes the chemistry leading to the discovery of spirodilactam-based polymers and initial applications in the area of thermoplastics and thermosets. Most recent developments to be covered include aromatic spirodilactams and isomeric spirodilactams.

    Notizen: Spirodilactam bisallylether is a new high temperature performance monomer. It melts at 154°C, and is thermally inactive in forming a homopolymer. However, it reacts readily with a bismaleimide via “ene” reaction. Therefore, it could be used as a comonomer and an effective toughening modifier for bismaleimide. The properties of the blends of spirodilactam bisallylether and 4,4'-bismaleimidodiphenyl-methane were studied. The cocured resins have high glass transition temperature, 〉 300°C. By adding 30 to 40 mole % of the bisallylether, the compact tension toughness of the bismaleimide was improved to 0.7 MPa-m1/2. Therefore, the resins have a combination of high glass transition temperature and toughness. They also showed good flexural properties. Despite the high water absorption, 5 to 7%, the resins retained high hot/wet flexural properties because of the high glass transition.

    Notizen: Four immiscible blend systems, styrene-maleic anhydride/styrene-acrylonitrile (SMA/SAN). styrene-maleic anhydride/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (SMA/ABS), poly(vinylidene fluoride)/SAN (PVF2/SAN), and PVF2/ABS, were investigated. The effect of adding up to about 10 wt% of a third polymer that is miscible with each blend component, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), was determined. In every case, the addition of PMMA led to the improvement of properties such as tensile strength, tensile elongation, and notched impact strength. Furthermore, the addition of PMMA resulted in finer, more uniform dispersions of the primary blend components. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of interfacial activity of the common phase component, PMMA.

    Notizen: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the solid-state cure process of poly(phenylene sulfide)(PPS) resin. Virgin PPS resin in an open sample pan was cured in DSC cell. Either air or oxygen was used as a curing atmosphere. Cure temperatures were in the range of 200 and 250 °C, which are below the melting point of PPS resin. Cure temperature as well as atmospheric condition influenced the cure behavior of PPS in the solid state. Both the rate and the amount of cure increased with increasing cure temperature. On the other hand, the time to reach the maximum cure rate was independent of cure temperature. Changing the atmosphere from air to oxygen increased both the cure rate and the amount of cure. The size effect of PPS particles on the cure reaction was also discussed.

    Notizen: Slow crack growth was measured in the perpendicular and parallel directions relative to the extrusion direction of the pipe. For five pipes from different manufacturers, the anisotropy factor, the lifetime to fracture in the perpendicular direction divided by lifetime in the parallel direction, varied from 1.2 to 4.7 for complete fracture and 1.4 to 4.0 for crack initiation. The degree of molecular orientation was determined by measuring the shrinkage that occured when a pipe specimen was heated near its melting point. The amount of shrinkage correlated with the anisotropy factor for slow crack growth. The shape change after shrinkage was related to the flow pattern of the resin during extrusion and the cooling rate after extrusion.

    Notizen: The complex Young's modulus, E*(ω), and the complex strain-optical coefficient, O*(ω), of poly(ether sulfone) (PES), polysulfone (PSF), and polyethermide (PEI), were measured over the frequency range 1 to 130 Hz. The data were analyzed with a modified stress-optical rule: The Young's modulus was decomposed into two complex functions, EG*(ω) and ER*(ω); the modified stress-optical coefficient, CR and CG, associated with the rubber (R) and glass (G) components, respectively, were determined. The results for six polymers, including polystyrene, poly(α-methyl styrene), and bisphenol A polycarbonate were compared with each other. One of the coefficients, CR, equivalent to the stress-optical coefficient in melts, mainly depended on the way in which phenyl groups were connected to the chain. The other, CG, was in the range of 20 to 40 Brewsters, and did not strongly depend on the details of polymer structure. The component function, EG*(ω), which was located in the glassy region and originated from the high glassy modulus, was almost the same in shape when plotted against ω with double logarithmic scales. The R component, ER*(ω), located at the long time end of the glass-to-rubber transition zone, was slightly sensitive to the molecular structure of polymers.

    Notizen: While there is abundant evidence that the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of a linear polymer has an influence on the shape of the viscosity function, the ability to convert the viscosity function to an MWD has been questioned. Using strictly numerical techniques, we have shown that the viscosity function can be transformed to the MWD, but always with some distortion. However, distinct bimodality can be qualitatively preserved through both the MWD-viscosity and viscocity-MWD transforms.

    Notizen: In microcellular plastics, an unfoamed skin that is integral with the foamed core can be created by allowing the nucleating gas to diffuse from the surfaces of a gas saturated specimen prior to foaming. In this paper, a semi-empirical model is proposed that predicts the skin thickness variation in microcellular foams as a function of gas desorption time. The model shows good agreement with experimental results on the polycarbonate-carbon dioxide system.

    Notizen: The present paper proposes “Deformation Characteristics” (DC) as a new deformation measure of screw extrusion processes, based on the Green deformation tensor. In contrast to previous strain measures heuristically proposed by Mohr, et al., Mckelvey, and Pinto and Tadmor, the new DC can naturally incorporate the demixing phenomena and systematically take into account the three-dimensional circulatory flow with the screw flight effect. Therefore, DC can be regarded as an improved strain measure. “Weighted Average Deformation characteristics” (WADC) is also proposed to indicate the overall deformation characteristics as a quantitative measure to the “goodness of mixing” of the extrusion process. The present paper includes discussion on delicate differences between DC and several other strain measures in case of the two-dimensional velocity approximation, and on the application of DC into a general three-dimensional velocity field obtained by a quasi-three-dimensional finite element analysis of extrusion processes. In determining WADC in the three-dimensional application, the residence time distribution function, including the three-dimensional circulatory flow effect, is used.

    Notizen: Non-isothermal flow is simulated in the screw and kneading disc elements in a modular co-rotating twin screw extruder. Methods of calculating mean temperature rises for individual elements are discussed and results are presented. The implications of non-isothermal operation for scale-up is discussed. A method is then described for making calculations in a modular co-rotating machine, that contains many different elements. Example calculations are given showing the tendency of larger machines to buildup greater temperatures when viscous heating is included.

    Notizen: A study of the influence of a compatibilizing agent on phase morphology development in a 75/25 polyethylene/polyamide-6 blend in a modular co-rotating twin screw extruder is presented. The development of phase morphology along the axis of the modular screw was observed by cooling the extruder and removing the polymer from the screw channels. Changes in phase morphology due to the addition of a compatibilizer have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Sufficient quantities of compatibilizing agent produce significant increases in the rate of mixing and also reduce the scale of the phase morphology. Much larger quantities (5%) than actually required for interface coverage are needed for rapid mixing. This seems to be due to the high viscosity of the matrix.

    Notizen: Penrose states that quantum effects can occur even in relatively large systems when energy differences remain small. This is just the situation with polymer materials. A quantum description by Penrose of the formation of quasi-crystals can be rewritten to apply to polymer crystallization. The implications of the need to take account of quantum effects are discussed. Another approach based on the quantization of energy levels in clusters of atoms offers a possible explanation of heat setting in nylon and polyester fibers. Finally some problems of the interpretation of quantum theory are discussed.

    Notizen: A novel approach to a truly dynamic thermodynamics is proposed in which equilibrium is defined in terms of explicit time, distance, and acceptable error scales. This approach involves reformulating the second law of thermodynamics in terms of an excess energy that vanishes at equilibrium instead of an entropy that assumes some unknown maximum value. Excess energy is defined mathematically as the total Legendre transform of energy with respect to an independent set of extensive variables. Excess energy is effectively the free energy functional of a nonequilibrium system and is a function of the time, distance, and acceptable error scales. Elimination of entropy from thermodynamics requires recognizing temperature as a thermal stress, proportional to the antimetric component of the stress tensor that is neglected when one assumes the validity of Cauchy's second law of motion. The inclusion of temperature as part of the stress-strain couple completes the science of thermomechanics and opens the way for a practical unification of chemistry and physics in strictly mechanical terms.The last sentence of the abstract shows how high the goals that Lindem meyer set for himself were. I personally do not agree with the idea that mechanics is the queen of all sciences, and that given deep enough probing one could achieve “a practical unification of chemistxy and physics in strictly mechanical terms”; for instance, electromagnetism has full citizenship's rights in physics, and it is hard to conceive that it could be reduced to mechanics.

Immersion in dielectric oil at 23°C causes little decrease in peel strength, but heating in the oil at 90°C causes a rapid initial loss followed by a slow loss of strength. Cyclic and static heating show that cyclic fatigue is not a factor as the initial loss of strength occurs in a time comparable to the first two test cycles and further heating causes much less loss of strength. Tensile and compressive stresses resulting from cable winding have no effect on the loss of bond strength during heating in oil. Vacuum drying of the laminate and oil (as in cable manufacture) before heating results in less decrease in peel strength than heating without prior drying. Optical and electron microscopy show minimal wetting of the paper fibrils by the polypropylene with only a few having been either normal to or at a steep angle to the polypropylene surface. That is, the fibrils appear to be parallel to the interface and only partially immersed in the polypropylene. Micrographs show little, if any, differences between the interfaces on the two sides as well as little paper on the polypropylene after delamination and vice versa. It is suggested that the bonding mechanism is a combination of weak mechanical interlocking and secondary bonds. It is also suggested that swelling of the polypropylene relative to the paper by the dielectric oil at 90°C weakens the interfacial bond.

    Notizen: Variations of stress with temperature for stretched networks of trans-polyisoprene networks in the crystallization region are reported. Such profiles are characteristically U-shaped with the stress at lower temperatures often climbing to high levels. Valley widths of the profiles narrow as annealing temperature increases to about 50°C, then widen at yet higher temperatures. The degree of crystallization at 22°C is 37% and independent of deformation and annealing temperature. The β crystal form is overwhelmingly present with traces of other crystal forms appearing only at high deformations. The theory of stress-induced crystallization provides a good description of experimental results provided the nucleation parameter σ is dependent upon deformation. Therefore, the data provide good qualitative support for the theory in its current form.

    Notizen: Polyalkylenebenzoxazoles of high molecular weight (inherent viscosity values from 0.76 to 2.95) were prepared from 4,6-diaminoresorcinol dihydrochloride and aliphatic diacids in polyphosphoric acid by heating at 180 to 200°C for 3-5 h. Melting points of the polymers ranged from 148 to 423°C, depending on the length of the alkylene chain. Glass transition temperatures were relatively low, ranging from 50 to 100°C and did not show the pronounced odd/even effect noted for melting points. In all cases, rapid weight loss occurred above 400°C. No evidence for the formation of a molecular composite was observed in an attempt to prepare in situ a rod-like polybenzoxazole in a polyalkylenebenzoxazole.

    Notizen: Low levels of oligomer molecules are generally desirable in polymeric materials. It is known that several reactor variables can affect the oligomer distribution, and therefore it is useful to have predictive models for molecular weight distribution. The normal approach of a differential equation-based model is very complex to set up if it is applied rigorously to include all the non-Flory aspects of the step growth polycondensation and in particular the interfacial polycarbonate polymerization. In this paper, simple methods based on the Monte Carlo method and Stockmayer distribution are applied to simulate the effects of mass-transfer, unequal reactivity, and the starting stoichiometry of the polycondensing functional groups on the oligomer distribution. It is shown that these parameters can have a significant effect on the oligomer weight distribution and polydispersity of the final polymer.

    Notizen: The true crystallite modulus of polyoxymethylene (POM) was evaluated experimentally and thoeretically as a function of temperature. The mechanical deformation mechanism of POM was lattice-dynamically predicted and confirmed by measuring the stress-induced vibrational frequency shifts of the infrared and Raman spectra, which were interpreted on the basis of anharmonic potential field.

    Notizen: The ultra-high strength/modulus, extended chain polyethylene fiber (Spectra® fiber) composite has shown great potential as a lightweight armor material with its extraordinary capability of absorbing the kinetic energy of projectiles. But the relatively low melting point of this fiber (∼ 145°C) has caused concerns regarding the effect of temperature rise during the impact/penetration process on the performance as armor material. In this article, an analysis of temperature rise in projectile and the fiber composite during the impact/penetration process is described. Combining the simulation of impact deformation by finite element analysis and the simulation of temperature rise by a finite difference approximation of the related dynamic equations, the temperature rise caused by the projectile/composite interaction was estimated. Results show that there is a significant temperature rise at the projectile/composite interface due to the friction but that the short length of time involved in the process and the low thermal conductivity of Spectra fiber composite keep the temperature rise in a very small region (in the order of 0.001 cm) around the interface during the impact/penetration process. Consequently, the volume that is affected by the temperature rise is very small, in the order of total 0.001 cm3 around the projectile, and this is too small to generate any detectable effect on the armor performance. After the projectile is stopped, however, substantial heating of fiber composite can occur under specific conditions as the result of heat flow from the hot projectile embedded in the composite. This heating of fibers, however, is a postmortem effect and hence inconsequential to the ballistic performance of the composite armor.

    Notizen: A mathematical model of a polycondensation reactor that can be used in the final stage for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is established and compared with experimental data obtained from a laboratory scale reactor with film renewal. Detailed side reactions are considered along with the diffusional removal of the small molecules through thin film. Among several kinetic constants, the polycondensation reaction rate constant k1(= k8) and diester group degradation reaction rate constant k7 have an influence over the degree of polymerization. The values of k1(= k8) and k7 for 0.05 wt% Sb2O3 were obtained as curve-fit values: (1) k1(= k8) = 3.4 × 106 exp(- 18.500/RT′) (L/mol-min); (2) k7 = 1.3 × 1011 exp(- 37,800/RT′) (min-1). Effects of the film exposure time, reduced pressure of vacuum, temperature, the initial terephthalic acid (TPA)/ethylene glycol (EG) mole ratio, the initial degree of polymerization, and catalysts were well explained by the model.

    Notizen: Entrance pressure losses for the creeping flow of a power-law fluid are calculated for an abrupt contraction of ratio 2, 4, 8 and ∞ for both the axisymmetric and planar cases using P2P1 and P+2P1 finite elements. Contrary to some earlier findings in the literature, the entrance pressure loss obtained by using the two different types of finite elements, both of which satisfy the Babus̆ka-Brezzi condition, are found to converge to the same results. The present results also confirm that the variational method of Duda and Vrentas gives excellent upper bounds for both the axisymmetric and planar cases with infinite contraction ratio.
