    On Non-Rank Facets of Stable Set Polytopes of Webs with Clique Number Four (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-10
    Description: Graphs with circular symmetry, called webs, are relevant w.r.t. describing the stable set polytopes of two larger graph classes, quasi-line graphs and claw-free graphs. Providing a decent linear description of the stable set polytopes of claw-free graphs is a long-standing problem. However, even the problem of finding all facets of stable set polytopes of webs is open. So far, it is only known that stable set polytopes of webs with clique number $\leq 3$ have rank facets only while there are examples with clique number $〉4$ having non-rank facets.

    Multiscale Analysis for the Bio-Heat Transfer Equation (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: The bio-heat transfer equation is a macroscopic model for describing the heat transfer in microvascular tissue. In [{\sl Deuflhard, Hochmuth 2002}] the authors applied homogenization techniques to derive the bio-heat transfer equation as asymptotic result of boundary value problems which provide a microscopic description for microvascular tissue. Here those results are generalized to a geometrical setting where the regions of blood are allowed to be connected. Moreover, asymptotic corrector results are derived.

    Polyhedral Investigations on Stable Multi-Sets (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-10
    Description: Stable multi-sets are an evident generalization of the well-known stable sets. As integer programs, they constitute a general structure which allows for a wide applicability of the results. Moreover, the study of stable multi-sets provides new insights to well-known properties of stable sets. In this paper, we continue our investigations started in [{\sl Koster and Zymolka 2002}] and present results of three types: on the relation to other combinatorial problems, on the polyhedral structure of the stable multi-set polytope, and on the computational impact of the polyhedral results. First of all, we embed stable multi-sets in a framework of generalized set packing problems and point out several relations. The second part discusses properties of the stable multi-set polytope. We show that the vertices of the linear relaxation are half integer and have a special structure. Moreover, we strengthen the conditions for cycle inequalities to be facet defining, show that the separation problem for these inequalities is polynomial time solvable, and discuss the impact of chords in cycles. The last result allows to interpret cliques as cycles with many chords. The paper is completed with a computational study to the practical importance of the cycle inequalities. The computations show that the performance of state-of-the-art integer programming solvers can be improved significantly by including these inequalities.

    Formation and structure of quasi-static cloud-layers in brown dwarf atmospheres (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: In this paper, first solutions of the dust moment equations developed in [{\sl Woitke & Helling 2002}] for the description of dust formation and precipitation in brown dwarf and giant gas planet atmospheres are presented. We consider the special case of a static brown dwarf atmosphere, where dust particles continuously nucleate from the gas phase, grow by the accretion of molecules, settle gravitationally and re-evaporate thermally. Applying a kinetic description of the relevant microphysical and chemical processes for TiO$_2$-grains, the model makes predictions about the large-scale stratification of dust in the atmosphere, the depletion of molecules from the gas phase, the supersaturation of the gas in the atmosphere as well as the mean size and the mass fraction of dust grains as function of depth. Our results suggest that the nucleation occu in the upper atmosphere where the gas is cool, strongly depleted, but nevertheless highly supersaturated ($S\!\gg\!1$). These particles settle gravitationally and populate the warmer layers below, where the in-situ formation (nucleation) is ineffective or even not possible. During their descent, the particles grow up to radii $\approx\!0.3\,\mu{\rm m}\,...\,150\,\mu{\rm m}$, depending gas around the cloud base. The particles finally sink into layers which are sufficiently hot to cause their thermal evaporation. Hence, an effective transport mechanism for condensable elements exi considered solid/liquid material. In the stationary case studied here, this downward directed element transport by precipitating dust grains is balanced by an upward directed flux of condensable elements from the deep interior of the star via convective mixing (no dust without mixing). We find a self-regulation mechanism which leads to an approximate phase equilibrium ($S\!\approx\!1$) around the cloud base. The mass fraction of dust present in the atmosphere results be to approximately given by the mass fraction of condensable elements in the gas being mixed up.

    Visualization of Time-Dependent Adaptive Mesh Refinement Data (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-03-09
    Description: Analysis of phenomena that simultaneously occur on quite different spatial and temporal scales require adaptive, hierarchical schemes to reduce computational and storage demands. For data represented as grid functions, the key are adaptive, hierarchical, time-dependent grids that resolve spatio-temporal details without too much redundancy. Here, so-called AMR grids gain increasing popularity. For visualization and feature identification/tracking, the underlying continuous function has to be faithfully reconstructed by spatial and temporal interpolation. Well designed interpolation methods yield better results and help to reduce the amount of data to be stored. We address the problem of temporal interpolation of AMR grid data, e.g.\ for creation of smooth animations or feature tracking. Intermediate grid hierarchies are generated by merging the cells on all refinement levels that are present in the key frames considered. Utilizing a clustering algorithm a structure of nested grids is induced on the resulting collection of cells. The grid functions are mapped to the intermediate hierarchy, thus allowing application of appropriate interpolation techniques.

    Tensor Splats (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-03-09
    Description: An improved general-purpose technique for the visualization of symmetric positive definite tensor fields of rank two is described. It is based on a splatting technique that is built from tiny transparent glyph primitives which are capable to incorporate the full directional information content of a tensor. The result is an information-rich image that allows to read off the preferred directions in a tensor field at each point of a three-dimensional volume or two-dimensional surface. It is useful for analyzing slices or volumes of a three-dimensional tensor field and can be overlayed with standard volume rendering or color mapping. The application of the rendering technique is demonstrated on general relativistic data and the diffusion tensor field of a human brain.

    A construction for non-rank facets of stable set polytopes of webs (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-10
    Description: Graphs with circular symmetry, called webs, are relevant for describing the stable set polytopes of two larger graph classes, quasi-line graphs [{\sl Giles and Trotter 1981, Oriolo 2001}] and claw-free graphs [{\sl Galluccio and Sassano 1997, Giles and Trotter 1981}]. Providing a decent linear description of the stable set polytopes of claw-free graphs is a long-standing problem [{\sl Grötschel, Lov\'asz, and Schrijver 1988}]. However, even the problem of finding all facets of stable set polytopes of webs is open. So far, it is only known that stable set polytopes of webs with clique number $\leq 3$ have rank facets only [{\sl Dahl 1999, Trotter 1975}] while there are examples with clique number $\geq 4$ having non-rank facets [{\sl e.g. Liebling et al. 2003, Oriolo 2001, P\^echer and Wagler 2003}]. In this paper, we provide a construction for non-rank facets of stable set polytopes of webs. We use this construction to prove, for several fixed values of $\omega$ including all odd values at least 5, that there are only finitely many webs with clique number $\omega$ whose stable set polytopes admit rank facets only.

    Automatic Construction of Boundary Parametrizations for Geometric Multigrid Solvers (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-13
    Description: We present an algorithm that constructs parametrizations of boundary and interface surfaces automatically. Starting with high-resolution triangulated surfaces describing the computational domains, we iteratively simplify the surfaces yielding a coarse approximation of the boundaries with the same topological type. While simplifying we construct a function that is defined on the coarse surface and whose image is the original surface. This function allows access to the correct shape and surface normals of the original surface as well as to any kind of data defined on it. Such information can be used by geometric multigrid solvers doing adaptive mesh refinement. Our algorithm runs stable on all types of input surfaces, including those that describe domains consisting of several materials. We have used our method with success in different fields and we discuss examples from structural mechanics and biomechanics.

    A Lagrangian Approach for Integrated Network Design and Routing in IP Networks (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-11
    Description: We consider the problem of designing a network that employs a non-bifurcated shortest path routing protocol. The network's nodes and the set of potential links are given together with a set of forecasted end-to-end traffic demands. All relevant hardware components installable at links or nodes are considered. The goal is to simultaneously choose the network's topology, to decide which hardware components to install on which links and nodes, and to find appropriate routing weights such that the overall network cost is minimized. In this paper, we present a mathematical optimization model for this problem and an algorithmic solution approach based on a Lagrangian relaxation. Computational results achieved with this approach for several real-world network planning problems are reported.

    Comparing Restoration Concepts using Optimal Network Configurations with Integrated Hardware and Routing Decisions (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: We investigate the impact of link and path restoration on the cost of telecommunication networks. The surprising result is the following: the cost of an optimal network configuration is almost independent of the restoration concept if (i) the installation of network elements (ADMs, DXCs, or routers) and interface cards, (ii) link capacities, and (iii) working and restoration routings are simultaneously optimized. We present a mixed-integer programming model which integrates all these decisions. Using a branch-and-cut algorithm (with column generation to deal with all potential routing paths), we solve structurally different real-world problem instances and show that the cost of optimal solutions is almost independent of the used restoration concept. In addition, we optimize spare capacities for given shortest working paths which are predetermined with respect to different link metrics. In comparison to simultaneous optimization of working and restoration routings, it turns out that this approach does not allow to obtain predictably good results.

    Average Case Analysis of a Hard Dial-a-Ride Problem (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-13
    Description: In the dial-a-ride-problem (DARP) objects have to be moved between given sources and destinations in a transportation network by means of a server. The goal is to find a shortest transportation for the server. We study the DARP when the underlying transportation network forms a caterpillar. This special case is strongly NP-hard in the worst case. We prove that in a probabilistic setting there exists a polynomial time algorithm which almost surely finds an optimal solution. Moreover, with high probability the optimality of the solution found can be certified efficiently. We also examine the complexity of the DARP in a semi-random setting and in the unweighted case.

    Description: The paper presents a new affine invariant theory on asymptotic mesh independence of Newton's method in nonlinear PDEs. Compared to earlier attempts, the new approach is both much simpler and more natural from the algorithmic point of view. The theory is exemplified at collocation methods for ODE boundary value problems and at finite element methods for elliptic PDE problems.

    Smoothening Helps: A Probabilistic Analysis of the Multi-Level Feedback Algorithm (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: In this paper we introduce the notion of smoothed competitive analysis of online algorithms. Smoothed analysis has been proposed by [{\sl Spielman and Teng} STOC 2001] to explain the behaviour of algorithms that work well in practice while performing very poorly from a worst case analysis point of view. We apply this notion to analyze the Multi-Level Feedback (MLF) algorithm to minimize the total flow time on a sequence of jobs released over time when the processing time of a job is only known at time of completion. The initial processing times are integers in the range $[1,2^K]$. We use a partial bit randomization model, where the initial processing times are smoothened by changing the $k$ least significant bits under a quite general class of probability distributions. We show that MLF admits a smoothed competitive ratio of $O(max((2^k/\sigma)^3, (2^k/\sigma)^2 2^K-k))$, where $\sigma$ denotes the standard deviation of the distribution. In particular, we obtain a competitive ratio of $O(2^K-k)$ if $\sigma = \Theta(2^k)$. %The analysis holds for an oblivious as well as for a stronger adaptive %adversary. We also prove an $\Omega(2^{K-k})$ lower bound for any deterministic algorithm that is run on processing times smoothened according to the partial bit randomization model. For various other smoothening models, including the additive symmetric smoothening model used by [{\sl Spielman and Teng}], we give a higher lower bound of $\Omega(2^K)$. A direct consequence of our result is also the first average case analysis of MLF. We show a constant expected ratio of the total flow time of MLF to the optimum under several distributions including the uniform distribution.

    A sample path relation for the sojourn times in G/G/1-PS systems and its applications (2003)
    Details

    Description: For the general G/G/1 processor sharing (PS) system a sample path result for the sojourn times in a busy period is proved, which yields a relation between the sojourn times under PS and FCFS discipline. In particular, the result provides a formula for the mean sojourn time in G/D/1-PS in terms of the mean sojourn time in the corresponding G/D/1-FCFS, generalizing known results for GI/M/1 and M/GI/1. Extensions of the formula provide the basis for a two-moment approximation of the mean sojourn time in G/GI/1-PS in terms of a related G/D/1-FCFS.

    Molecular Conformation Dynamics and Computational Drug Design (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: The paper surveys recent progress in the mathematical modelling and simulation of essential molecular dynamics. Particular emphasis is put on computational drug design wherein time scales of $msec$ up to $min$ play the dominant role. Classical long-term molecular dynamics computations, however, would run into ill-conditioned initial value problems already after time spans of only $psec=10^{-12} sec$. Therefore, in order to obtain results for times of pharmaceutical interest, a combined deterministic-stochastic model is needed. The concept advocated in this paper is the direct identification of metastable conformations together with their life times and their transition patterns. It can be interpreted as a {\em transfer operator} approach corresponding to some underlying hybrid Monte Carlo process, wherein short-term trajectories enter. Once this operator has been discretized, which is a hard problem of its own, a stochastic matrix arises. This matrix is then treated by {\em Perron cluster analysis}, a recently developed cluster analysis method involving the numerical solution of an eigenproblem for a Perron cluster of eigenvalues. In order to avoid the 'curse of dimension', the construction of appropriate boxes for the spatial discretization of the Markov operator requires careful consideration. As a biomolecular example we present a rather recent SARS protease inhibitor.

    RNA 3D-Modeling (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: This article presents a new computational approach to the three-dimensional (3D) modeling of ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequences with unknown spatial structure. The main concept is a mapping of the query sequence onto the 3D structures of a suitable template RNA molecule. This technique called \textit{threading} has originally been developed for the modeling of protein 3D structures. The application to RNA systems bridges the information gap between the growing mass of RNA sequence data and the relatively limited number of available 3D structures. The new RNA threading method is demonstrated on a tRNA model system because sufficient representative 3D structures have experimentally been elucidated and deposited in the public databases. Nevertheless, the method is in principle transferable on all other RNA species. Algorithms are developed that decompose these template structures into their secondary structure elements and gather this information in a specific template database. The best template is chosen with public alignment and secondary structure prediction tools which are integrated in the RNA modeling module. The structural information gathered from the template and the best alignment is combined to establish a comprehensive 3D model of the query sequence. A range of complete tRNA structures has successfully been modeled with the RNA threading method. The prototype module visualizes the models and provides convenient access to the proposed 3D structures. Therefore, the method could give new insight into a variety of RNA systems which in the recent years have become increasingly important as potential new pharmaceutical agents.

Die verf{ü}gbaren technischen und organisatorischen Alternativm{ö}glichkeiten sind normalerweise so vielf{ä}ltig und komplex, dass eine manuelle Planung praktisch nicht m{ö}glich ist. In diesem Artikel wird das Potential und die Methodik der mathematischen Optimierung bei der kostenoptimalen Planung von Kommunikationsnetzen vorgestellt. Als Ausgangspunkt wird exemplarisch eine typische praktische Aufgabe, die Struktur- und Konfigurationsplanung mehrstufiger Telekommunikationsnetzwerke, dargestellt. Anschließend werden kurz die wesentlichen Modellierungstechniken und Verfahrensans{ä}tze der mathematischen Optimierung skizziert. Abschließend gehen wir auf die Planung einer ad{ä}quaten Informations- und Kommunikations- Infrastruktur f{ü}r ein dezentrales Energieversorgungsnetz ein.

    Chromatic Scheduling Polytopes coming from the Bandwidth Allocation Problem in Point-to-Multipoint Radio AccessSystems (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-08-05
    Description: Point-to-Multipoint systems are one kind of radio systems supplying wireless access to voice/data communication networks. Such systems have to be run using a certain frequency spectrum, which typically causes capacity problems. Hence it is, on the one hand, necessary to reuse frequencies but, on the other hand, no interference must be caused thereby. This leads to the bandwidth allocation problem, a special case of so-called chromatic scheduling problems. Both problems are NP-hard, and there exist no polynomial time approximation algorithms with a guaranteed quality. One kind of algorithms which turned out to be successful for many other combinatorial optimization problems uses cutting plane methods. In order to apply such methods, knowledge on the associated polytopes is required. The present paper contributes to this issue, exploring basic properties of chromatic scheduling polytopes and several classes of facet-defining inequalities.

    Assessing Capacity Improvements by Relaying in Cellular Networks (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: Relaying -- allowing multiple wireless hops -- is a protocol extension for cellular networks conceived to improve data throughput. Its benefits have only been quantified for small example networks. For assessing its general potential, we define a complex resource allocation\slash{}scheduling problem. Several mathematical models are presented for this problem; while a time-expanded MIP approach turns out intractable, a sophisticated column generation scheme leads to good computational results. We thereby show that for selected cases relaying can increase data throughput by 30\% on the average.

    Minimum Converter Wavelength Assignment in All-Optical Networks (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: Finding conflict-free wavelength assignments with a minimum number of required conversions for a routing of the lightpaths is one of the important tasks within the design of all-optical networks. We consider this problem in multi-fiber networks with different types of WDM systems. We give a detailed description of the problem and derive its theoretical complexity. For practical application, we propose several sequential algorithms to compute appropriate wavelength assignments. We also perform computational experiments to evaluate their performance. For the iterative algorithms, we identify characteristic patterns of progression. Two of these algorithms qualify for application in practice.

    Rigid body docking for Virtual Screening (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-30
    Description: A recently developed algorithm allows Rigid Body Docking of ligands to proteins, regardless of the accessibility and location of the binding site. The Docking procedure is divided into three subsequent optimization phases, two of which utilize rigid body dynamics. The last one is applied with the ligand already positioned inside the binding pocket and accounts for full flexibility. Initially, a combination of geometrical and force-field based methods is used as a Coarse Docking strategy, considering only Lennard-Jones interactions between the target and pharmaceutically relevant atoms or functional groups. The protein is subjected to a Hot Spot Analysis, which reveals points of high affinity in the protein environment towards these groups. The hot spots are distributed into different subsets according to their group affiliation. The ligand is described as a complementary point set, consisting of the same subsets. Both sets are matched in $\mathrm{I\!R}^{3}$, by superimposing members of the same subsets. In the first instance, steric inhibition is nearly neglected, preventing the system's trajectory from trapping in local minima and thus from finding false positive solutions. Hence the exact location of the binding site can be determined fast and reliably without any additional information. Subsequently, errors resulting from approximations are minimized via finetuning, this time considering both Lennard-Jones and Coulomb forces. Finally, the potential energy of the whole complex is minimized. In a first evaluation, results are rated by a reduced scoring function considering only noncovalent interaction energies. Exemplary Screening results will be given for specific ligands.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-13
    Description: Der KOBV setzt für die endnutzerbasierte Online-Fernleihe den Sisis ZFL-Server (Zentraler Fernleih-Server) ein. Mit dem Einsatz des ZFL-Servers können in den Bibliotheken echte Rationalisierungseffekte erzielt werden: Der Server ist in der Lage, Fernleih-Bestellungen an lokale Systeme zu übergeben, so dass sie im lokalen System automatisch - ohne Eingreifen von Bibliotheksmitarbeitern - weiterverarbeitet werden können. Im KOBV können derzeit Sisis- und Aleph-Lokalsysteme diese Schnittstelle voll bedienen. Andere Bibliothekssysteme im KOBV, die diese Schnittstelle nicht bedienen können, werden mittels eines E-Mail-Verfahrens in die Online-Fernleihe integriert. Die vorliegende Kurzbeschreibung der Online-Fernleihe im KOBV soll - im Gegensatz zur Spezifikation, die möglichst vollständig sein sollte - einen leicht verständlichen Einblick in die Abläufe der Online-Fernleihe vermitteln. Nach einem Überblick über zu erwartende Rationalisierungseffekte ist der Ablauf einer Online-Fernleih-Bestellung - veranschaulicht durch eine Graphik mit dem technischen Aufbau im KOBV - kurz dargestellt. \vspace{6mm} {\it Hinweis:} Die von einer Arbeitsgruppe des KOBV erstellte Spezifikation zur Online-Fernleihe ist als ZIB Report 02-30 auf dem Preprint-Server des ZIB veröffentlicht.

    Improved Perron Cluster Analysis (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: The problem of clustering data can often be transformed into the problem of finding a hidden block diagonal structure in a stochastic matrix. Deuflhard et al. have proposed an algorithm that state s the number $k$ of clusters and uses the sign structure of $k$ eigenvectors of the stochastic matrix to solve the cluster problem. Recently Weber and Galliat discovered that this system of eigenvectors can easily be transformed into a system of $k$ membership functions or soft characteristic functions describing the clusters. In this article we explain the corresponding cluster algorithm and point out the underlying theory. By means of numerical examples we explain how the grade of membership can be interpreted.

    Navigation in the KOBV-Informationsportal Conceptual View (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: The KOBV Informationsportal aims to be a universal gateway to the sources of information hosted by the partner libraries from the Berlin-Brandenburg area. Due to the large number of these sources, an intuitive navigation is an essential component of the portal. The navigation-component should preserve the partner libraries? independence and overcome their administrative and technical differences. This paper proposes a collection-level navigation with four dimensions: the sources? subject areas (e.g. the first two levels of DDC), the sources? type (e.g. e-journals, databases, OPACs, etc.), the sources? location (e.g. Berlin, Brandenburg) / the library that hosts that source and the sources? accessing state (e.g. free, restricted, etc.).

    Dust formation in brown dwarf atmospheres under conditions of driven turbulence (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: Based on the knowledge gained from direct numerical simulations which are only possible in the microscale regime, a concept of driven turbulence is presented which allows to enter the mesoscopic scale regime. Here, dust formation under stochastic hydro- and thermodynamic conditions is studied: constructively superimposed stochastic waves initiate dust formation by the creation of singular nucleation events. It, hence, results a varying mean grain size and dust density in space and time. The newly formed dust changes the thermodynamic behavior from almost isotherm to adiabatic and chemically depletes the gas phase.

    Publication Date: 2014-11-11
    Description: Der scharfe Wettbewerb innerhalb der Telekommunikationsbranche zwingt die Netzbetreiber dazu, ihre Investitionen genau zu planen und immer wieder Einsparungsmanahmen durchzuführen. Gleichzeitig ist es jedoch wichtig, die Qualität der angebotenen Dienste zu verbessern, um neue Kunden zu gewinnen und langfristig an sich zu binden. Die mathematische Optimierung bietet sich für viele solcher Aufgabenstellungen als hervorragend geeignetes Planungswerkzeug an. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, ihre Methodik und ihre Anwendung speziell zur Kosten- und Qualitätsoptimierung in Kommunikationsnetzen vorzustellen. Anhand von vier konkreten Planungsaufgaben aus dem Bereich der Festnetzplanung wird aufgezeigt, wie sich komplexe Zusammenhänge in flexiblen mathematischen Modellen abbilden lassen und welche Verfahren zur automatisierten Bearbeitung der Probleme eingesetzt werden können. Die hier vorgestellten Methoden zeichnen sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass sie neben hochwertigen Lösungen auch eine Qualittsgarantie liefern, mit der sich die Lsungen fundiert bewerten lassen. Die dokumentierten Ergebnisse aus verschiedenen Industrieprojekten belegen die Eignung und Güte der mathematischen Optimierung für die Praxis.

    Dust in Brown Dwarfs IV. Dust formation and driven turbulence on mesoscopic scales (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: Dust formation {in brown dwarf atmospheres} is studied by utilizing a model for driven turbulence in the mesoscopic scale regime. We apply a pseudo-spectral method where waves are created and superimposed {within} a {limited} wavenumber interval. The turbulent kinetic energy distribution follows the Kolmogoroff spectrum which is assumed to be the most likely value. Such superimposed, stochastic waves may occur in a convectively active environment. They cause nucleation fronts and nucleation events and thereby initiate the dust formation process which { continues until} all condensible material is consumed. Small disturbances {are found to} have a large impact on the dust forming system. An initially dust-hostile region, which may originally be optically thin, becomes optically thick in a patchy way showing considerable variations in the dust properties during the formation process. The dust appears in lanes and curls as a result of the interaction with waves, i.e. turbulence, which form larger and larger structures with time. Aiming on a physical understanding of the variability of brown dwarfs, related to structure formation in substellar atmospheres, we work out first necessary criteria for small-scale closure models to be applied in macroscopic simulations of dust forming astrophysical systems.

    The multi-scale dust formation in substellar atmospheres (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: Substellar atmospheres are observed to be irregularly variable for which the formation of dust clouds is the most promising candidate explanation. The atmospheric gas is convectively unstable and, last but not least, colliding convective cells are seen as cause for a turbulent fluid field. Since dust formation depends on the local properties of the fluid, turbulence influences the dust formation process and may even allow the dust formation in an initially dust-hostile gas. A regime-wise investigation of dust forming substellar atmospheric situations reveals that the largest scales are determined by the interplay between gravitational settling and convective replenishment which results in a dust-stratified atmosphere. The regime of small scales is determined by the interaction of turbulent fluctuations. Resulting lane-like and curled dust distributions combine to larger and larger structures. We compile necessary criteria for a subgrid model in the frame of large scale simulations as result of our study on small scale turbulence in dust forming gases.

    Description: The solution of scattering problems described by the Helmholtz equation on unbounded domains is of importance for a wide variety of applications, for example in electromagnetics and acoustics. An implementation of a solver for scattering problems based on the programming language Matlab is introduced. The solver relies on the finite-element-method and on the perfectly-matched-layer-method, which allows for the simulation of scattering problems on complex geometries surrounded by inhomogeneous exterior domains. This report gives a number of detailed examples and can be understood as a user manual to the freely accessible code of the solver HelmPole.

    Progressive Retrieval and Hierarchical Visualization of Large Remote Data (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-03-09
    Description: \noindent The size of data sets produced on remote supercomputer facilities frequently exceeds the processing capabilities of local visualization workstations. This phenomenon increasingly limits scientists when analyzing results of large-scale scientific simulations. That problem gets even more prominent in scientific collaborations, spanning large virtual organizations, working on common shared sets of data distributed in Grid environments. In the visualization community, this problem is addressed by distributing the visualization pipeline. In particular, early stages of the pipeline are executed on resources closer to the initial (remote) locations of the data sets. \noindent This paper presents an efficient technique for placing the first two stages of the visualization pipeline (data access and data filter) onto remote resources. This is realized by exploiting the ``extended retrieve'' feature of GridFTP for flexible, high performance access to very large HDF5 files. We reduce the number of network transactions for filtering operations by utilizing a server side data processing plugin, and hence reduce latency overhead compared to GridFTP partial file access. The paper further describes the application of hierarchical rendering techniques on remote uniform data sets, which make use of the remote data filtering stage.

    Description: Relaying is a protocol extension for cellular wireless computer networks; in order to utilize radio resources more efficiently, several hops are allowed within one cell. This paper investigates the principle potential of relaying by casting transmission scheduling as a mathematical optimization problem, namely, a linear program. We analyze the throughput gains showing that, irrespective of the concrete scheduling algorithm, performance gains of up to 30\% on average for concrete example networks are achievable.

    Critical and Anticritical Edges with respect to Perfectness (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: We call an edge $e$ of a perfect graph $G$ critical if $G-e$ is imperfect and call $e$ anticritical if $G+e$ is imperfect. The present paper surveys several questions in this context. We ask in which perfect graphs critical and anticritical edges occur and how to detect such edges. The main result by [{\sl Wagler, PhD thesis 2000}] shows that a graph does not admit any critical edge if and only if it is Meyniel. The goal is to order the edges resp.~non-edges of certain perfect graphs s.t. deleting resp.~adding all edges in this order yields a sequence of perfect graphs only. Results of [{\sl Hayward 1985}] and [{\sl Spinrad & Sritharan 1995}] show the existence of such edge orders for weakly triangulated graphs; the line-perfect graphs are precisely these graphs where all edge orders are perfect [{\sl Wagler 2001}]. Such edge orders cannot exist for every subclass of perfect graphs that contains critically resp.~anticritically perfect graphs where deleting resp.~adding an arbitrary edge yields an imperfect graph. We present several examples and properties of such graphs, discuss constructions and characterizations from [{\sl Wagler 1999, Wagler PhD thesis 2000}]. An application of the concept of critically and anticritically perfect graphs is a result due to [{\sl Hougardy & Wagler 2002}] showing that perfectness is an elusive graph property.

    Safe separators for treewidth (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-10
    Description: A set of vertices $S\subseteq V$ is called a safe separator for treewidth, if $S$ is a separator of $G$, and the treewidth of $G$ equals the maximum of the treewidth over all connected components $W$ of $G-S$ of the graph, obtained by making $S$ a clique in the subgraph of $G$, induced by $W\cup S$. We show that such safe separators are a very powerful tool for preprocessing graphs when we want to compute their treewidth. We give several sufficient conditions for separators to be safe, allowing such separators, if existing, to be found in polynomial time. In particular, every minimal separator of size one or two is safe, every minimal separator of size three that does not split off a component with only one vertex is safe, and every minimal separator that is an almost clique is safe; an almost clique is a set of vertices $W$ such that there is a $v\in W$ with $W-\{v\}$ a clique. We report on experiments that show significant reductions of instance sizes for graphs from proba! bilistic networks and frequency assignment.

    Lastbalancierung in Peer-to-Peer Systemen (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-30
    Description: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Systeme werden u.a. zur Verwaltung von großen Datenmengen benutzt, die auf verschiedene Rechner verteilt sind. Benutzern soll damit der Zugriff auf Daten innerhalb des Systems leicht ermöglicht werden. Damit in P2P Systemen die Daten effizient verteilt und gesucht werden können, existieren Distributed Hash Tables. Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) sind eine Methode, um globale Informationen persistent speichern zu können. Der Wertebereich der Hashfunktion, welche die zu veröffentlichenden Einträge auf Werte abbildet, wird in Abschnitte aufgeteilt, die einzelnen Knoten zugeteilt werden. Die meisten DHTs haben aber ein Problem bei der Verteilung der Last. Die verschiedenen DHT Systeme beruhen meist auf einem identischen Ansatz der Lastverteilung. Die Last wird nur mit Hilfe einer Hashfunktion verteilt. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass diese Funktion die Last gleichmäßig verteilt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein Verfahren zur Last Verteilung entwickelt, simuliert und implementiert. Bei dem Verfahren wird die Last wie bei der Verteilung von Wärme an die Umgebung abgegeben. Es wird mit existierenden Lastbalancierungsalgorithmen verglichen. Mit diesem neuen Verfahren ist es möglich, Last in DHTs besser zu verteilen ohne große Änderungen an den DHTs vorzunehmen. Es wird gezeigt, wie mit dem Verfahren zusätzlich die Fehlertoleranz des P2P Systems erhöht werden kann.
    Description: One of the many uses of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is the administration of large data sets that are distributed across different computers, with the goal of facilitating user access to files within the system. Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) are designed to enable the efficient distribution and search of files, by allowing global information to be persistently stored. The range of values of the hash function (the possible entries in the published hash table) are assigned to individual nodes. Most DHTs, however, have a problem with load distribution. The various DHT systems usually operate by distributing load equally among nodes. Thus the load is distributed using the help of the hash function. One assumes this function distributes the load evenly. In the context of this work a method of distributing load has been developed, simulated and implemented. With this method load is transferred in a fashion analogous to the dissipation of heat into the environment. Comparisons with existing algorithms for load balancing are drawn. With the new procedure it is possible to better distribute load in DHTs without requiring major changes to the DHTs themselves. It is shown that with the procedure the fault tolerance of P2P systems may also be increased.

    Robust Perron Cluster Analysis in Conformation Dynamics (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: The key to molecular conformation dynamics is the direct identification of metastable conformations, which are almost invariant sets of molecular dynamical systems. Once some reversible Markov operator has been discretized, a generalized symmetric stochastic matrix arises. This matrix can be treated by Perron cluster analysis, a rather recent method involving a Perron cluster eigenproblem. The paper presents an improved Perron cluster analysis algorithm, which is more robust than earlier suggestions. Numerical examples are included.

    Demand-wise Shared Protection for Meshed Optical Networks (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-11
    Description: In this paper, a new shared protection mechanism for meshed optical networks is presented. Significant network design cost reductions can be achieved in comparison to the well-known 1+1 protection scheme. Demand-wise Shared Protection (DSP) bases on the diversification of demand routings and exploits the network connectivity to restrict the number of backup lightpaths needed to provide the desired level of prorection. Computational experiments approve the benefits of the concept DSP for cost efficient optical network designs.

    Simulation of the Human Mandible: Comparison of Bone Mineral Density and Stress/Strain Profiles due to Masticatory Muscles' Traction (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-05-10
    Description: The correlation of the inner architecture of bone and its functional loading was already stated by Wolff in 1892. Our objective is to demonstrate this interdependence in the case of the human mandible. For this purpose, stress/strain profiles occuring at a human lateral bite were simulated. Additionally, by a combination of computer graphics modules, a three--dimensional volumetric visualization of bone mineral density could be given. Qualitative correspondences between the density profile of the jaw and the simulated stress/strain profiles could be pointed out. In the long run, this might enable the use of the simulation for diagnosis and prognosis. The solution of the underlying partial differential equations describing linear elastic material behaviour was provided by an adaptive finite element method. Estimates of the discretization errors, local grid refinement, and multilevel techniques guaranteed the reliability and efficiency of the method.

    MoDySim - A parallel dynamical UMTS simulator (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: UMTS is a 3rd generation mobile telecommunication system which enables multi-service and multi-bit rate communication going beyond the possibilities of previous systems. The simulator MoDySim models UMTS in great detail. Characteristics of UMTS such as soft hand-over and the interdependency of load and capacity among neighbouring cells are challenges for the parallelisation of such a system. In this paper we explain how the software was parallelised and present performance results of a UMTS simulation for the city of Berlin.

    A numerical reinvestigation of the Aoki phase with $N_f=2$ Wilson fermions at zero temperature (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: We report on a numerical reinvestigation of the Aoki phase in lattice QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermions where the parity-flavor symmetry is spontaneously broken. For this purpose the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm was used and an explicit symmetry-breaking source term $h\bar{\psi} i \gamma_{5} \tau^{3}\psi$ was added to the Wilson fermion action. The order parameter $\langle\bar{\psi}i\gamma_{5}\tau^{3}\psi\rangle$ was studied at several values of $(\beta,\kappa,h)$ on lattices of sizes $4^4$ to $12^4$. Our largest lattices can be considered as infintely large allowing to extrapolate to $h=0$. The existence of a parity-flavor-breaking phase can be confirmed at $\beta=4.0$ and $\beta=4.3$ while we find no sign of parity-flavor-breaking at $\beta=4.6$ and $\beta=5.0$.

    Clustering by using a simplex structure (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-02-26
    Description: In this paper we interpret clustering as a mapping of data into a simplex. If the data itself has simplicial struture this mapping becomes linear. Spectral analysis is an often used tool for clustering data. We will show that corresponding singular vectors or eigenvectors comprise simplicial structure. Therefore they lead to a cluster algorithm, which consists of a simple linear mapping. An example for this kind of algorithms is the Perron cluster analysis (PCCA). We have applied it in practice to identify metastable sets of molecular dynamical systems. In contrast to other algorithms, this kind of approach provides an a priori criterion to determine the number of clusters. In this paper we extend the ideas to more general problems like clustering of bipartite graphs.

    A new Finite Element realization of the Perfectly Matched Layer Method for Helmholtz scattering problems on polygonal domains in 2D (2003)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-07
    Description: In this paper we propose a new finite element realization of the Perfectly Matched Layer method (PML-method). Our approach allows to deal with arbitrary shaped polygonal domains and with certain types of inhomogeneous exterior domains. Among the covered inhomogeneities are open waveguide structures playing an essential role in integrated optics. We give a detailed insight to implementation aspects. Numerical examples show exponential convergence behavior to the exact solution with the thickness of the PML sponge layer.

    Notes: Previous studies have examined the isometric contraction properties of the two heads of the cat flexor carpi ulnaris acting as a single unit. In this study, the contraction properties and fiber architecture of each head of the flexor carpi ulnaris were determined separately and related to previous reports on the histochemical characteristics of this muscle. The morphology of retrograde-labeled motor nuclei for the two heads of the muscle was also examined. The humeral head had a significantly longer contraction time (48 msec) than the ulnar head (36 msec) as well as a significantly lower tetanic fusion frequency (28 Hz vs. 35 Hz). The maximum tetanic tension per gram of muscle tissue was 71% greater in the ulnar head. Motoneurons of the flexor carpi ulnaris formed a column 12 mm long and 0.5 mm wide in the center of the ventral grey in spinal segments C8 and T1. The ulnar head had α-motoneurons with greater soma diameters than those in the humeral head. The smaller soma diameter, slower contraction time, and weaker contraction in the humeral head correlate with the preponderance of oxidative-metabolic muscle fiber types found in the humeral head by other workers. These correlations suggest that the humeral head plays a major role in maintaining a sustained antigravity tension that prevents the wrist from buckling during standing.

    Notes: Comparison of metamorphosis of skull and hyobranchial system in two species of neotenic salamanders reveals two different types of neoteny. Ambystoma talpoideum is completely neotenic owing to delayed metamorphosis. Notophthalmus viridescens exhibits limited neoteny as a result of incomplete metamorphosis. Morphological details of neoteny are compared to life history in both species in order to discuss the ecological morphology of the two neotenic strategies. Comparisons to Taricha granulosa, Triturus vulgaris, and Ambystoma gracile indicate that these two strategies are widely employed and may represent familial patterns.

    Notes: Using scanning electron microscopy I determined neuromast number and orientation, neuromast sensory epithelial surface area and relative position, hair cell number per neuromast, hair cell size, and stitch formation in aquatic urodeles. All aquatic salamanders examined (34 specimens, 20 species, 16 genera, nine families) had neuromasts. The basic pattern of neuromast organization was similar in all species, consisting of a single row of circumorbital (supraorbital + infraorbital) neuromasts and anteriorly along the snout two rows of nasal and three rows of maxillary neuromasts. Nasal and maxillary groups consisted of orthogonally oriented neuromasts. Variation in most parameters occured at every taxonomic level, between individuals of the same species, and even on opposite sides of the same individual. Among species, primary neuromast number ranged from 94 to 150, with plethodontids having higher numbers. Despite high intraspecific variation, neuromast number fell into a sufficiently narrow range to be useful systematically. Hair cell number per neuromast was greater in species with larger animals. Hair cell number per neuromast and number of primary neuromasts did not increase with growth. In some species primary neuromasts divided to form secondary neuromasts (together termed a stitch). Two types of stitches-transverse and longitudinal-were formed. Transverse stitches were characteristic of ambystomatids and cryptobranchids, longitudinal stitches were characteristic of proteids and salamandrids. Because transverse stitches are also characteristic of anurans, this trait may be the generalized condition in at least these two amphibian orders. With stitch formation total number of hair cells on the dorsal surface of the head of these animals can be increased over tenfold to almost 20,000. Ecologically, lentic forms tended to form transverse stitches, while lotic forms had single neuromasts in epidermal pits or longitudinal stitches in epidermal grooves. Lotic forms also tended to have more primary neuromasts and more nasal and maxillary neuromasts.

    Notes: The labral glands of Daphnia consist of three distinct functional units on each side: (1) several cells at the base of the head, (2) two large cells at the base of the labrum and one large cell (cell A) in the median part of the labrum and (3) one large cell (cell B) in the median part of the labrum. These gland cells do not form a syncytium, contrary to reports by previous investigators. With the exception of cell B, they have a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and many active Golgi complexes. The Golgi activity changes during the molt cycle. The Golgi activity of the cells of the head base is different from that of the large cells of the labrum. Since clear exocytotic phenomena were not observed, the secretion can be assumed to flow into the hemolymph after accumulation in the enlarged intercellular spaces. Cell B has a distinctive cytoplasmic ultrastructure the function of which is not yet understood.The four large cells of the labrum are in contact with a duct cell (or several duct cells) characterized by a deep infolding of the plasma membrane. This delimits a narrow lumen, which contains no secretion. No passage of substance is visible from the gland cells to the duct cell(s).

    Comparative study of the adrenergic innervation of the teleost gill (1987)

    Notes: The adrenergic innervation of structures in the gills of six teleost species was studied with catecholamine fluorescence histochemistry. The species studied were the following: sand flathead, Platycephalus bassensis and blue-spot flathead Platycephalus caeuruleopunctatus (Platycephalidae); smooth toadfish, Tetractenos glaber (Tetraodontidae); Australian short-finned eel, Anguilla australis (Anguillidae); river blackfish, Gadopsis marmoratus (Gadopsidae); and common carp Cyprinus carpio (Cyprinidae).In all species except C. carpio fluorescent components were observed in the branchial nerves in the gill arch.In the arterio-arterial vascular pathway, the afferent and efferent branchial arteries were innervated only in Cyprinus. Fluorescent nerve fibres were found on afferent filamental arteries of all species except A. australis and on many afferent lamellar arterioles of all species except T. glaber. The secondary lamellae were devoid of fluorescent nerve fibres in all species. In Cyprinus and Anguilla, fluorescent nerve fibres were observed on occasional efferent lamellar arterioles. In Cyprinus, there was an additional innervation on the basal one-third of the efferent filamental artery. The innervation of the arteriovenous vascular pathway was similar in all species. Fluorescent nerve fibres were found on nutritive arterioles, and in the core of each filament between the surface epithelium and the wall of the filament venous sinus.Since most of the adrenergic innervation was found on afferent vessels of the arterio-arterial pathway, it is suggested that adrenergic nerves and circulating catecholamines may have distinct functions in the regulation of blood flow through the gills.

    Ovary of the pipefish, Syngnathus scovelli (1987)

    Notes: Gross dissection, light microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to generate a detailed understanding of the ovarian anatomy of the pipefish, Syngnathus scovelli. The ovary is a cylindrical tube bounded by an outer layer consisting of a smooth muscle wall and an inner layer of luminal epithelium, with follicles sandwiched between the two layers. A remarkable feature of this ovary is a sequential pattern of follicle development. This pattern begins at the germinal ridge with a gradient of follicles of increasing developmental age extending to the mature edge. The germinal ridge is an outpocketed region of the luminal epithelium containing early germinal cells and somatic prefollicular cells. Therefore, the germinal ridge and luminal epithelium share the same ovarian compartment and follicle formation occurs within this compartment. The mature edge is defined as the site of oocyte maturation and ovulation. The outer ovarian wall contains unmyelinated nerve fibers throughout. Longitudinally oriented unmyelinated nerves are also observed near the smooth muscle bundles associated with the mature edge. Oocytes near the mature edge are polarized such that the germinal vesicle (nucleus) is generally oriented toward the luminal epithelium. The sandwichlike organization of the ovary results in follicles that have a shared theca. An extensive lymphatic network is also interspersed among the follicles. Thus, the exceptional features of the pipefish ovary make it particularly well suited for the examination of early events in oogenesis. Specifically, we characterize pipefish folliculogenesis in detail.

    Notes: The hemocytes of Leiobunum limbatum, Mitopus morio, and Opilio ravennae number from about 8,000 (juveniles) to 41,000 (pregnant females) per microliter of hemolymph. Five different types of hemocytes occur in all three species and both sexes. According to their ultrastructural appearance and their similarities to other arthropod hemocytes these five types are designated as prohemocyte, plasmatocyte, granulocyte, coagulocyte, and spherulocyte. From the ultrastructural point of view the prohemocytes are interpreted as stem cells for plasmatocytes which on their part differentiate into granulocytes. Transitional stages which would indicate the origin of coagulocytes and spherulocytes could not be found.Granulocytes and spherulocytes are interpreted as being storage cells; coagulocytes burst when hemolymph is transferred to a microscopic slide. Plasmatocytes are involved in the removal of dead cells or cell fragments. Plasmatocytes are demonstrated as being able to phagocytize and digest bacteria.

    Seasonal changes in a lizard pituitary: Immunocytochemistry and ultrastructural morphometry of lactotropes, corticotropes, and gonadotropes (1987)

    Notes: Pituitary glands of adult male lizards (Anolis carolinensis) were studied in an effort to monitor seasonal cytologic changes quantitatively. Cells were identified immunocytochemically and on the basis of ultrastructural characteristics.Electron micrographs of the anterior pars distalis (containing lactotropes, corticotropes, and gonadotropes) of lizards collected in spring and fall were analyzed morphometrically. Lactotropes are the most numerous cell type in this area and occupy the largest volume. They are closely followed by corticotropes. Neither kind of cell undergoes a marked seasonal change in number or size or in the percent of the analyzed volume they occupy. Morphometric and ultrastructural criteria indicate an increased level of activity in all three kinds of secretory cells in the spring, although changes are relatively modest in corticotropes and lactotropes.Gonadotropes occupy less than half the volume of either of the other secretory cells in the analyzed area, but undergo considerable seasonal modification. They are larger (〉 40%) and more numerous (20%) in the spring, and show an increase in biosynthetic organelles at this time. Although the density of secretion granules may be reduced in the enlarged spring gonadotropes, the number of granules per cell may not be altered seasonally.Seasonal changes in the three cell types analyzed are moderate in contrast to the cytologic modifications described in pituitary cells following castration or other experimental procedures. Necrotic cells appear to be a normal component of the pituitary gland of Anolis carolinensis throughout the year.

    Formation of the septate junction in regenerating planarian gastrodermis (1987)

    Notes: Septate junctions develop initially just basad from apical junctional complexes at the apical ends of regenerating gastrodermal cells. The first morphological indication of differentiation of the junction is the appearance of gentle undulations of the plasma membranes of apposing cells. Subsequently dense dots develop at fairly regular intervals at the cytoplasmic surface of one cell, while SER cisternae become localized opposite them near the surface of the apposing cell. The dense dots are associated with bulges which narrow the intercellular space. Later the dense dots are replaced by filaments aligned along the inner leaflet of the parent cell. Strands of amorphous deposits form connections between SER cisternae and the sister membrane on the opposite side of the junction. Ruthenium red staining provides information on precursors which occupy the intercellular space between the apposed plasma membranes. As development of the junction progresses, ruthenium red stains only the newly formed septa but not the interseptal matrix. Regular arrangement of individual septa seems to be completed under the control of V-projections from both of their surfaces. Precursors for the structural material of the septa may be a secretory product derived from the SER. Dense dots and their derived filaments probably serve as reinforcing material for strengthening the cell membrane of the junction.

    Notes: Freshly extruded and hardened spermatophores of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, were compared using light and electron microscopy (EM). The spermatophore is composed of a sperm tube embedded in an acellular matrix. The sperm tube consists of tightly packed spherical cavities in an acellular material within which the sperm lie. The extruded spermatophore is white, soft, and sticky on all surfaces. The highly coiled sperm tube can be seen near the surface of the foot of the spermatophore, which is the side that will attach to the exoskeleton of the female. The opposite surface, the cap, will harden and darken after exposure to seawater. In the soft spermatophore, the matrix surrounding the sperm tube and extending from foot to cap is composed of small (2-μm) granules embedded in a loose weave of filaments. In the hardened spermatophore, the matrix is composed of small (4-μm) empty spheres. At the cap region the matrix darkens, and at the foot the granules dissolve to form a thick layer characterized by vertical striations. The structure of this spermatophore is compared to those spermatophores of other decapods that have been described at the EM level. The chemical composition and possible function(s) of the various components are discussed.

    Notes: Light and electron microscopy reveal that simple receptor cells in the jaw epithelium of sea urchin pedicellariae are connected by nerve tracts to the neuropile that coordinates jaw movements. The muscles responsible for jaw opening and closure and for flexion of the stem are all innervated in this neuropile. At least two types of vesicles occur at the simple synapses between neurone profiles and at neuromuscular junctions. The muscles include both striated and smooth fibres; however, their distribution varies according to pedicellaria type, and an unexpected arrangement exists in trifoliate pedicellariae.

    Notes: In the whip spider Heterophrynus elaphus the first pair of legs is specialized to serve sensory functions. The morphology of these “whips” and the sensory organs of their tarsi and tibiae are described using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The tarsus is normally subdivided into 74 segments and bears 7 types of sensory hairs: bristles, club sensilla, two types of porous sensilla, two types of rod sensilla, and leaflike hairs. In addition there are modified claws, 3 kinds of slit sense organs, a “pit organ,” a “plate organ,” and probably a joint receptor. The tibia is usually subdivided into 33 segments. In addition to bristles the tibia bears 7 trichobothria at constant locations and a lyriform slit sense organ. The functional and systematic implications of these findings are discussed.

    Notes: Vernalized gemmules of the marine sponge Haliclona loosanoffi were cultured at 20°C, fixed at 24-hour intervals (0-11 days), and processed for light microscopy by using a variety of absorption and fluorescent staining methods. The cytochemistry and morphology of development were compared to the well-studied developmental patterns of freshwater sponges and to the patterns described in the marine sponge Suberites domuncula. The precocious development of H. loosanoffi gemmules involves early morphogenesis occurring within the unhatched gemmule, as opposed to the patterns in freshwater sponges, where most development occurs after the gemmule hatches. Definitive sponge tissue surrounding a single osculum is present 9 days after release from dormancy.

    Distribution and innervation of short, interdigitated muscle fibers in parallel-fibered muscles of the cat hindlimb (1987)

    Notes: The cat hindlimb contains several long, biarticular strap muscles composed of parallel muscle fascicles that attach to short tendons. Three of these muscles -sartorius, tenuissimus, and semitendinosus -were studied by dissecting individual gold-stained fibers and determining the surface distribution of acetylcholinesterase-stained end-plate zones. In each muscle, fascicles were composed of muscle fibers that ran only part of the fascicle length and tapered to end as fine strands that interdigitated with other tapering fibers within the muscle mass. Most muscle fibers measured 2-3 cm in length. Fascicles of muscle fibers were crossed by short transverse bands of endplates (1 mm wide by 1-5 mm long) that were spaced at fairly regular intervals from the origin to the insertion of the muscle. The endplate pattern suggested that the fiber fascicles were organized into multiple longitudinal strips. In the sartorius, the temporospatial distribution of electromyographic (EMG) activity evoked by stimulating fine, longitudinal branches of the parent nerve confirmed that each strip was selectively innervated by a small subset of the motor axons. These axons appeared to distribute their endings throughout the entire length of the fascicles, providing for synchronous activation of their in-series fibers.

    Optimal design of vertebrate and insect sarcomeres (1987)

    Notes: This paper offers a model for the normalized length-tension relation of a muscle fiber based upon sarcomere design. Comparison with measurements published by Gordon et al. (′66) shows an accurate fit as long as the inhomogeneity of sarcomere length in a single muscle fiber is taken into account. Sequential change of filament length and the length of the cross-bridge-free zone leads the model to suggest that most vertebrate sarcomeres tested match the condition of optimal construction for the output of mechanical energy over a full sarcomere contraction movement. Joint optimization of all three morphometric parameters suggests that a slightly better (0.3%) design is theoretically possible. However, this theoretical sarcomere, optimally designed for the conversion of energy, has a low normalized contraction velocity; it provides a poorer match to the combined functional demands of high energy output and high contraction velocity than the real sarcomeres of vertebrates.The sarcomeres in fish myotomes appear to be built suboptimally for isometric contraction, but built optimally for that shortening velocity generating maximum power. During swimming, these muscles do indeed contract concentrically only. The sarcomeres of insect asynchronous flight muscles contract only slightly. They are not built optimally for maximum output of energy across the full range of contraction encountered in vertebrate sarcomeres, but are built almost optimally for the contraction range that they do in fact employ.

    Notes: Development and innervation of the lymph heart musculature of chicken, emu, rhea, and duck was studied by electron microscopy at posthatch ages from 3 days to adulthood. Development of innervation was monitored by acetylcholinesterase staining. Horseradish peroxidase was used to determine the extent of the transverse tubule network. Chickens were unusual among these birds in that lymph heart myocytes had already undergone a definitive differentiation and degeneration by 3 days. In ducks and ratite birds, lymph heart myocytes more slowly but progressively differentiate a cytomorphology that does not conform in all characteristics to cardiac or skeletal muscle and even resembles in some aspects, smooth muscle. Myofibrils become the dominant cytoplasmic structure, transverse tubules form ‘internal couplings’ with agranular reticulum cisternae, and ‘external couplings’ are formed between myocytes at myomyal junctions. The myomyal junctions also contain AChE-positive reaction product and some subplasmalemmal vesicles that lack a dense core. The lymph heart myocardium of ducks of 2 weeks demonstrated mitotic figures. In adult ducks the myosatellite cell numbers diminish and a characteristic pattern of myocyte degeneration appears. In juvenile ducks and ratites some myocytes differentiate to conductile cells, much as the conductile myocytes and myofibers of the blood heart. The lymph heart innervation is described, and the role of nerve in differentiation and maintenance of myocyte morphology in the lymph heart is discussed.

    Notes: Scanning electron micrographs of microcorrosion casts of the renal vascular system of Pseudemys scripta and Testudo hermanni show fairly well-developed, round glomeruli in the former (mean diameter of casts: 83.1 μm) and fewer but bigger, ovoid glomeruli (mean diameter of casts: 111.1 μm/131.6 μm) in the more arid-adapted. T. hermanni. Furthermore, the intrarenal development of the pertiubular capillary system differs in these two species. These relatively minor morphological differences correlate well with the major differences in the ecology of these species, as well as with physiological data on urine composition from the literature.

    Notes: The prominent accessory lobes of Lachi in birds are considered to be marginal nuclei; similar nuclei have been implicated in mechanoreceptive functions in snakes and lampreys. Reptile studies emphasized the involvement of the denticulate ligament with this mechanoreceptive function. This investigation examines the fine structure of the accessory lobes of Lachi in pigeons and their interaction with ligaments for features which might support such a mechanoreceptive function. In the lumbosacral area of the spinal cord, the lateral longitudinal ligaments and the ventral longitudinal ligament are hypertrophied. The ventral transverse ligaments are present only within the lumbosacral segments of the spinal cord and they interconnect with the lateral and ventral longitudinal ligaments. The lateral longitudinal ligament makes intimate contact with the spinal cord, and many glial processes from the spinal cord mingle with and are firmly attached to collagenous fibers of the ligament. The lobes lie dorsal to the lateral longitudinal ligament in the exact area where it interconnects with the transverse ligament. The lobe's multipolar neurons have a number of synaptic contacts but no unusual specializations were noted. Most of each lobe is composed of interdigitating saccular structures filled to varying degrees with flocculent material. The sacs are extensions of the cytoplasm of neuroglial cells, which also give rise to membranes surrounding neuronal processes and the sacs themselves. A possible functional relationship of the lobes and the ligaments of the lumbosacral spinal segments within the vertebral column is described.

    Notes: Several morphological and functional characteristics of the rat gastrocnemius medialis and tibialis anterior muscle were studied in young, adult, and old rats to assess the influence of growth. Antagonist muscles were studied to determine how changes of muscle architecture and functional characteristics are influenced by the demands of increased body weight and by the specific roles of these muscles in locomotion.Both muscles change drastically, for instance, in muscle length, volume, physiological cross-sectional area aponeurosis length, and their muscular geometry changes allometrically for both muscles. The relationships between muscle length, distance between origin and insertion, tendon length, and tibial length also change with growth. Both muscles are rather pennate, so that the increase of physiological cross-sectional area is a major factor in the determination of muscle length.No significant difference could be shown for fundamental physiological characteristics (i.e., functional characteristics normalized for muscular dimensions such as maximal work per unit volume). The changes of morphological and functional variables of both muscles parallel each other as is apparent from the index of antagonist characteristics, which is constant for all variables studied with the exception of muscle volume and tendon length.Consequently, the considerable and similar changes of TA and GM morphology and functional characteristics that take place during growth from approximately four weeks postnatally is not caused by changes of muscular material but by changes of the amount and architectural arrangement of the material involved.

    Notes: Between weaning and adulthood, the length and height of the facial skull of the New Zealand rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) double, whereas much less growth occurs in the width of the face and in the neurocranium. There is a five-fold increase in mass of the masticatory muscles, caused mainly by growth in cross-sectional area. The share of the superficial masseter in the total mass increases at the cost of the jaw openers. There are changes in the direction of the working lines of a few muscles. A 3-dimensional mechanical model was used to predict bite forces at different mandibular positions. It shows that young rabbits are able to generate large bite forces at a wider range of mandibular positions than adults and that the forces are directed more vertically. In young and adult animals, the masticatory muscles differ from each other with respect to the degree of gape at which optimum sarcomere length is reached. Consequently, bite force can be maintained over a range of gapes, larger than predicted on basis of individual length - tension curves. Despite the considerable changes in skull shape and concurrent changes in the jaw muscles, the direction of the resultant force of the closing muscles and its mechanical advantage remain stable during growth. Observed phenomena suggest that during development the possibilities for generation of large bite forces are increased at the cost of a restriction of the range of jaw excursion.

    Notes: The exocrine glandular system of the nymphs and the adults of Dysdercus cingulatus were studied. The D. cingulatus nymphs present 3 dorso-abdominal glands (lying under the 3rd, 4th, and 5th abdominal terga) and a pair of dorso-lateral pygidial glands on the pygidium (tergum 8). Histological and ultrastructural studies show that the upper and lower walls of the dorso-abdominal glands differ in structure; 3 types of cells were described: epidermal cells, unicellular secretory cells, and multicellular secretory units. Each of these exocrine glands plays an important part in the behavior of the nymphs (gregariousness, alarm, defense). The morphology of the various glands is discussed, and the chemistry of their secretions and their biological functions are considered.

    Notes: The major anatomical divisions of the cerebellum of the European eel, i.e., corpus cerebelli, lobus vestibulolateralis, and valvula, were studied morphologically and morphometrically. There were differences in cerebellar cytoarchitecture and gross morphology in two stages of the eel life cycle, the trophic stage (yellow eel), and the reproductive stage (silver eel), which are characterized by different degrees of swimming activity. The principal differences between silver and yellow eels in the cytoarchitecture of the corpus cerebelli and the lobus vestibulolateralis were in distribution of Purkinje or Purkinje-like cells in the molecular layer, which is wider in silver eels, in part because of a decreased thickness of the granular cell layer. In the silver eel, the scattering of Purkinje cells was more evident in the lobus vestibulolateralis where the molecular layer is also thicker. The data indicate the transition from the yellow eel to the silver eel is characterized by a migration of granule cells from the ganglionic cell layer to the internal granular layer and by a further development of molecular layer components, e.g., parallel fibers, Purkinje-cell dendrites, etc. In contrast, the thickness of the granular layer and of the Purkinje cell layer, limited to the lower part of the valvula, decreased. There is also a slight increase of cerebellar volume in the silver eel. The volume of the lobus vestibulolateralis was constant. Hypertrophy of the valvula and eminentiae granulares is observed and is due to the migration of cells from the granular layer of the corpus cerebelli whose volume slightly decreases. Perhaps the lobus vestibulolateralis also contributes to the increased volume of eminentiae granulares. Our findings suggest that the cerebellum continues to develop during the passage from the trophic to the reproductive stage of the eel. The appearance of new afferents from the lateral line which becomes more visible in the silver eel probably completes cerebellar ontogeny.

    Notes: Xenopus laevis froglet forelimbs normally respond to amputational injury by forming a heteromorphic cartilaginous rod-shaped outgrowth. However, partial denervation of a forelimb by ablation of the N. radialis or the N. ulnaris, followed in 2 days by amputation through the mid radius-ulna, results in a size deficiency of the regenerative outgrowth 14 and 21 days postamputation. The decreasing quantity of forelimb innervation, as a result of partial denervation by 55 or 45%, apparently has a graded effect on the cell population and on the extent of cartilage development in the outgrowth. As a consequence of amputational injury, a nerve independent response of the periosteum was also found. This response produced considerable thickening in the periosteum and was due to cell proliferation in both the control and denervated cases.

    Notes: Serial transverse paraffin sections of intrafusal muscle fibers of spindles from the extensor pollicis and the extensor digitorum communis of ducks show that only one type of intrafusal muscle fiber exists, based on the mid-equatorial nucleation pattern, diameter, and length. Although the overall range in fiber diameter at the mid-equatorial region is between 4.2-20.0 μm, the average caliber is 10.4 ± 3.18 μm (S.D.) for spindles of the extensor pollicis and 9.3 ± 2.11 μm (S.D.) for spindles of the extensor digitorum communis muscles. The range in spindle length for the extensor pollicis is 290-2,090 μm, average 1,120 ± 569 μm (S.D.), and for the extensor digitorum communis 1,160-2,500 μm, average 1,745 ± 367 μm (S.D.). Therange in number of fibers per spindle for the extensor pollicis muscle is 5-12, average 8.2, and for the extensor digitorum muscle it is 1-11. In the extensor digitorum communis, there appear to be two groups, based on fiber number. Spindles of one group have a range of 5-11 fibers per spindle with an average of 7.2, whereas the second group has a range of 1-4 with an average of 2.7 fibers per spindle. The second group of spindles constitutes 52.5% of the 40 spindles studied, and of these 7.5% were monofibril spindles, 15.0% difibril, 17.5% trifibril, 12.5% quadrifibril spindles.

    Notes: Each of the paired salivary glands of third instar larvae of the humpbacked fly Megaselia scalaris is a bag-like structure with a short neck region from which a single duct emerges. The two ducts form a common duct that empties into the ventral region of the pharynx near the mouthparts. The wall of the glands and ducts consists of a simple squamous epithelium that rests upon a connective tissue layer. Cells in the neck are less flattened than those found elsewhere. The basal surfaces of the cells are infolded most deeply in the neck and the least in the duct. The apical surfaces of the cells possess microvilli except in the duct where the apices of the cells are covered by a complex extracellular layer. This layer displays circularly arranged folds that accommodate a thread-like supportive structure resembling taenidial threads of tracheae. Elaborate junctional complexes are associated with the lateral surfaces of the cells. Elements of these complexes include a zonula adherens, a series of pleated septate desmosomes, and conventional desmosomes. The cytoplasm of the glandular cells is filled with RER and other organelles normally seen in cells that export proteins and mucosubstances. Secretory material found in the lumens of the glands reacts only moderately with the PAS procedure but more strongly with alcian blue and methods that demonstrate proteins. The nuclei of the glandular cells contain single large nucleoli and polytene chromosomes whose banding is rather indistinct. Treatment with EDTA produces detrimental effects on all of the foregoing ultrastructural features of the glands and ducts.

    Cellular dynamics of conjugation in the ciliate euplotes aediculatus. I. Cytoskeletal elements (1987)

    Notes: The fate and possible roles of the cytoskeleton in the process of conjugation in the hyptrich ciliate Euplotes aediculatus were investigated. Following the coalescence of the plasma membranes of the conjugant cells, a fusion zone or bridge of cytoplasm contributed by both partners is constructed. The sub-alveolar microtubule layers of the vegetative cell cortex remain in place to define the fusion zone boundaries after cell union. The initial fusion zone consists primarily of featureless ground cytoplasm; soon the ground plasm becomes crowded with microtubules and anastomosing smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which become displaced only late in conjugation as the migratory pronuclei are exchanged between partners. Fusion zone microtubules, functioning in some undetermined way, may be involved in the nuclear migration. Resorption of the posterior portion of each partner's buccal apparatus results in the degradation of the component cilia within acid phosphatase-positive autophagic bodies. Silver staining for light microscopy shows that the late fusion zone contracts forward from the posterior border, then constricts to separate the conjugants. In some separating pairs remnants of a microfilamentous assembly are seen at the posterior edge of the fusion zone; the full extent of this system may be masked by partial degradation due to osmium tetroxide fixation. Treatment of conjugants for 6 hours with cytochalasin B prevents separation, possibly through inhibition of the actin-like microfilament assembly in the fusion zone. The observations and experiments favor a model of cell separation following conjugation in which the fusion zone is resorbed by motile or contractile processes occurring within or around the fusion bridge itself.

    Notes: The development of the tentacle, a chemosensory and perhaps tactile structure unique among vertebrates to gymnophione amphibians is described in Dermophis mexicanus and Gymnopis multiplicata. The tentacle is associated with the vomeronasal organ and its glands, and utilizes several structures usually associated with the eye, such as the Harderian gland, the retractor and levator muscles, and their nerves. Innervation of the tentacle itself is from the trigeminal nerve. We present an hypothesis that the tentacle originated from modified eye components.

    Notes: Two types of calcareous spicules occur abundantly in Herdmania momus, a solitary pyurid ascidian with a worldwide warm water distribution. The large spindle-shaped body spicules are 1.5-2.5-mm long and are located primarily in the mantle, siphons, and branchial basket. Each body spicule possesses 100 or more rows of overlapping, unidirectional fringing spines. Numerous body spicules occur regularly spaced within a long common sheath of complex structure, and there are many sheaths per animal. Between neighboring body spicules and overlying the fringing spines are the tightly connected pseudopodial sclerocytes. Spine formation is hypothesized to occur within these cells. The body spicules apparently continue to increase in size throughout the animal's life.The tunic spicules are about one tenth the length of the body spicules. They have 20-40 rows of unidirectional nonoverlapping fringing spines and a mace-shaped spiny base that anchors them at the tunic surface. They form quickly in individual spicular envelopes inside the tunic blood vessels over a 4-5-day period. Each tunic spicule then leaves its surrounding envelope and blood vessel, passes into the tunic, and ultimately protrudes through the outer surface of the tunic. An organic covering inside the envelope closely adheres to the tunic spicules and stains with toluidine blue. Dissolution of the CaCO3 mineral phase by EDTA or EDTA-cetylpyridinium chloride-formaldehyde reveals an intricately patterned organic matrix within or upon which the spicules develop.

    Notes: In all species of phylactolaemates, an individual successively produces daughter buds. Individual daughters are designated, according to the order of appearance, as first bud, second bud, and so on. The first bud appears precociously, while the mother is a pear-shaped vesicle. The idea of regarding a main bud, a duplicate bud, and an adventitious bud as a set is not tenable. In the budding region, the cystidal wall shows a constant wavy movement. In Plumatella colonies, branching occurs only when and where a bud of the second or higher order grows up to a zooid. A branch is composed of longitudinally arranged first zooids with the only exception being the most proximal one. The proportion of first zooids in a colony increases in the order of P. casmiana, P. emarginata, and P. repens. The frequency of branching, therefore, decreases in this order. The ancestrula germinated from the statoblast shows the highest activity of budding. The tendency that successively produced daughters of the ancestrula grow in alternate directions is most conspicuous in P. emarginata and least conspicuous in P. casmiana. Replacement budding occurs in these three species of Plumatella, but only under unfavorable culture conditions. The colony of Gelatinella toanensis is characterized by composite branches, each consisting of an axial branch composed of a series of first zooids and of stunted lateral branchlets. In Hyalinella punctata, multiple budding does not necessarily result in branching; zooids of different budding orders coexist in a branch. The genus Pectinatella comprises two species, P. gelatinosa and P. magnifica. Both produce massive colonies. In P. gelatinosa, the colony proper is sac-like with the convex basal wall, and the polypides can retract with the digestive tracts straight. Each individual (except the ancestrula) of this species produces a pair of daughter buds which are located bilaterally relative to the median sagittal plane of the mother. A left bud produces its first bud to the right, and vice versa. In P. magnifica, the colony proper is very thin and flat. When polypides are retracted, the digestive tracts are folded characteristically. Based on these and other results, phylogenetic relationships among the phylactolaemates are discussed.

    Somatic tissue-male germ cell barrier in three hermaphrodite invertebrates: Dugesia biblica (Platyhelminthes), Placobdella costata (Annelida), and Levantina hierosolyma (Mollusca) (1987)

    Notes: The gonads from three hermaphrodite species of different invertebrate phyla were studied at the ultastructure level. In the flatworm Dugesia biblica, male germ cells in different stages of development lay in the lumen of testicular follicles surrounded by overlapping parietal cells. The intercellular space formed by cytoplasmic extensions running parallel to the testis wall is occluded by septate junctions and by an electron-dense material. In the leech Placobdella costata, the testis is lined by a unicellular layer of parietal cells surrounded by densely packed connective tissue fibers. No specialized occluding junctions were found between the parietal cells; however, plasmalemma thickenings and electron-dense material in the intercellular space near to the testis lumen were observed. In the lumen, germ cells develop connected to cytoplasmic masses, the cytophore. In the land snail Levantina hierosolyma, male and female germ cells are found together in the same acini; each acinus is surrounded by a thick basement membrane. At the periphery of the acinus is the ovarian layer; centrally to it is the testicular layer. Intercalated between them is a double cellular layer of follicular cells and of Sertoli cells. The inter-Sertoli space is characterized by elaborate septate junctions. In the three species studied male germ cells develop within the lumina of compartments isolated from the somatic tissue. This separation is brought about by specialized septate junctions, and/or by electron-dense material between the cells that form the testis walls, and also by densely packed connective tissue fibers. Our observations strengthen the view that a male germ cell-somatic tissue barrier as described in the literature of the testes of vertebrates and of invertebrates from various phyla is of general occurrence in the animal kingdom.

    Notes: Oocytes from the land hermit crab, Coenobita clypeatus, in various stages of vitellogenesis were examined by light and electron microscopy. Early vitellogenic oocytes are characterized by accumulations of discrete vesicles of endoplasmic reticulum in the perinuclear cytoplasm. As oocytes develop, the endoplasmic reticulum becomes abundant, and numerous Golgi complexes are seen. There is a well developed Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum interaction. Within the confines of the reticulum are discrete intracisternal granules, which can be seen coalescing into electron-dense yolk bodies. Lipid accumulation is seen throughout the cytoplasm. Coincident with the burst of intra-oocytic metabolism are oolemma modifications and micropinocytosis, which provide ultrastructural evidence for extra-oocytic yolk production. The mature oocyte contains numerous yolk and lipid vesicles of varying electron density that comprise both intra- and extra-oocytic substrates.

    Notes: The histochemistry and ultrastructure (SEM and TEM) of the spermatheca of Biomphalaria glabrata was investigated to elucidate the function of this organ and to compare its structure and function to similar organs found in other species. The spermatheca has a debris-filled lumen surrounded by a thin wall of tissue. The cells adjacent to the lumen are of three columnar epithelial cell types. Two cell types have abundant microvilli and mammalian cell-like organelle distribution and morphology. The above cell types differ in the electron density of their cytoplasms, nuclear morphologies, and organelle content. The third cell type differs from the other two in its cytoplasmic makeup. However, the most distinctive difference is the presence of large numbers of cilia at the apical surface with no evidence of microvilli. These columnar cells rest on a basal lamina adjacent to a two to three cell thick muscle layer. The entire organ is surrounded by an adventitia of unusual morphology. Histochemical investigation demonstrated that DNAase, RNAase, and protease are present in the lumen, alkaline phosphatase is associated primarily with the microvilli, small amounts of acid phosphatase are concentrated in the midcell area of the columnar epithelium, and ATPase activity is localized in the muscle cells and just below the absorptive surface of the microvillous cells. The luminal contents and adventitial areas are Sudan Black B positive, all areas of the lumen and organ wall are PAS positive, the cell nuclei and amorphous masses in the lumen showed Feulgen staining, and large vesicles in the columnar cells were Oil Red O positive. Apparently, the spermatheca of B. glabrata is both a digestive and absorptive structure. Although this organ shares functional similarities with those found in opisthobranchs and terrestrial pulmonates, the epithelia of the spermatheca differ dramatically in these groups.

    Notes: In an attempt to investigate the relationships between allometry and locomotory adaptations, we studied the long limb bones of 45 species of insectivores and rodents. Animals ranged from a few grams to about 50 kilograms. Diameter and length of the bones and body mass (when known) were recorded. Regressions of diameter to length, diameter to body mass, and length to body mass were calculated by the least-squares and Model II, or major axis, methods.The results obtained do not agree with the predictions of either the theory of geometric similarity or the theory of elastic similarity. The discrepancies could be due to the fact that animals studied exhibit various modes of locomotion. Moreover, the allometric relationships of the different locomotor patterns are better reflected in insectivores and rodents than in other groups of mammals. The use of a single regression analysis seems to be inadequate when the sample includes a large range of body sizes.

    Notes: Sensilla that line the upper edge of the lip in the leech Hirudo medicinalis and that contain chemoreceptors required for feeding were examined in the scanning and transmission electron microscopes. The sensilla include two size-classes of ciliated button-like mounds - one about 35 μm in diameter and another about 10 μm in diameter. The larger sensilla are at the center of unpigmented patches of skin which are visible in the light microscope, while the smaller sensilla have not been previously described as distinct structures. Electron microscopy, though not light microscopy, shows that the lip sensilla differ markedly from the segmental sensilla of the leech, which have been shown to mediate mechanoreception and photoreception. In particular, the chemosensory lip sensilla contain multiciliated cells with cilia of a uniform length, whereas the segmental sensilla contain uniciliated cells with long, whip-like cilia, as well as multiciliated cells with short, stiff cilia. Thus, the two types of sensilla differ morphologically as well as functionally. In addition to the ciliated sensilla along the upper lip, structures consisting of a short, club-like process surrounded by granular material were observed inside the mouth. These structures may also be chemosensory organs.

    Notes: The architecture and fine structure of the epigastric hematopoietic nodules of the ridgeback prawn, Sicyonia ingentis, are described. The nodules consist of a highly branched series of tubules that contain the maturing hemocytes within a connective tissue stroma. Hemocytes can exit the hematopoietic nodules by penetrating through fenestrations in the endothelial cell layer into the central hemal space or by migrating through the outer later of capsular cells and associated collagen fibrils. Four hemocyte categories were observed: agranular, small granule with cytoplasmic deposits, small granule without cytoplasmic deposits, and large granule hemocytes. This classification was based upon the presence, size, and type of cytoplasmic granules and the presence of cytoplasmic deposits. Only agranular cells and small granule hemocytes without cytoplasmic deposits appeared capable of division. Intermediate stages were observed between agranular hemocytes and small granule hemocytes with deposits and between small granule hemocytes without deposits and large granule hemocytes, suggesting existence of two distinct hemocyte lines.

    Notes: This investigation is a light and electron microscopic description of the submandibular duct salivary bladder of the rat, a dilation of the distal end of the main excretory duct. The wall of the bladder consists of (1) a mucosa with pseudostratified epithelium, (2) a submucosal layer of connective tissue, and (3) an underlying layer of striated muscle. The pseudostratified columnar epithelium lining the bladder is composed of three cell types: (1) light cells, (2) dark cells, and (3) basal cells. The lamina propria contains bundles of collagen, attenuated fibrocytes, capillaries with fenestrated endothelia, and nerve fibers which enter the epithelial layer. The capillaries of the submucosa are not fenestrated. The morphology of the wall of this structure provides evidence that the primary fluid of the submandibular gland is modified in the bladder by transepithelial fluid and ion transport.

    Notes: The innervation and structure of the lung of the Australian snake-necked tortoise, Chelodina longicollis, was examined by using light microscopy including fluorescence histochemical techniques. The anterior lung was divided into a number of compartments with numerous alveolar spaces. The posterior lung was simpler and saclike in structure and alveolar spaces were absent. Smooth muscle fibers occurred in discrete muscle bands and in the walls of the septal bands. Ganglion cells occurred along nerve trunks throughout the lung but were more numerous in the posterior lung. Smooth muscle bands, the extrinsic pulmonary artery, and the arteries within the lung were sparsely innervated by adrenergic fibers. Substance P-containing sensory fibers were not demonstrated. The innervation and structure of the lung are compared to published work on other reptiles.
