    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Gehirne von Tieren aus 4 verschieden alten Würfen junger Katzen wurden teils lebensfrisch durch Perfusion, teils nach 24 Std durch Immersion fixiert und für Vergleichsuntersuchungen in Paraffin eingebettet. Bei Betrachtung der Gliazellen des Corpus callosum ergab sich: 1. Nach Perfusionsfixierung sind die Kerne der Gliazellen groß und elliptisch. Sie sind wasserklar und haben eine scharf gezeichnete Chromatinstruktur. Nach Immersionsfixierung 24 Std p.m. sind die Kerne dagegen klein und rund, homogen dunkel gefärbt und haben ein kaum zu erkennendes Chromatingerüst. 2. Nach Perfusionsfixierung sieht man im Balken der ganz jungen Tiere zahlreiche Mitosen. Sie fehlen bei den durch Immersion fixierten Geschwistertieren desselben Wurfes. 3. Die nach verschiedener Fixierung beobachteten Unterschiede in der Form der Gliazellkerne werden durch Messungen der Quer- und Längsachsen erfaßt.
    Notes: Summary In four litters of young cats, some of the brains were fixed by perfusion and the others by immersion. The material was embedded in paraffin and the neuroglia was investigated in sections through the corpus callosum. It was found that: 1. After fixation by perfusion the nuclei of the glia cells are large and elliptic. The caryoplasm is clear and there is a distinct structure of the chromatin. After fixation by immersion the nuclei of the same cells are small and round. The caryoplasm is dense and the structure of the chromatin is not clearly visible. 2. After fixation by perfusion mitotic figures are present. They are absent in the brains fixed by immersion. 3. Following different fixation, there are differences in the shape of the nuclei of the glial cells. These differences have been investigated in detail by measuring the diameters of the nuclei.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An 27 Katzen beiderlei Geschlechts wurde die Blutversorgung des Corpus callosum untersucht. Dabei wurden folgende Befunde erhoben: Der Balken der Katze wird im Bereich des Rostrum und Genu sowie im vorderen und mittleren Truncuabschnitt aus der Arteria cerebri anterior versorgt und zwar über Äste, die den Arteriae pericallosae und den Arteriae genu corporis callosi entstammen. Diese Äste wurden als Arteriae callosi superiores und inferiores bezeichnet. Lediglich im hinteren Truncusabschnitt und im Splenium erfolgt die Versorgung neben Ästen der A. pericall. auch über solche der Arteriae cerebri mediae und posteriores. Die Blutgefäße treten dolchartig in den Balken ein, teilen sich dann baumartig weiter auf und gehen in ein Capillarnetz über, das in Richtung des Nervenfaserverlaufes ausgezogen ist. Auf in der Literatur bereits bekannte, aber oft vernachlässigte Besonderheiten der Arteria carotis interna und des Circulus arteriosus wird hingewiesen.
    Notes: Summary In investigations on 27 cats of both sexes, the arterial supply of the corpus callosum was studied. The findings are as follows: In the region comprising rostrum and genu as well as in the fore and middle trunk sections, blood supplied by branches of the arteriae pericallosae and the arteriae genu corporis callosi which originate from the arteria cerebri anterior. These branches were designated arteriae callosi superiores and inferiores. However, in the posterior section of the trunk and in the splenium the blood is supplied by branches of the aa. pericall. and, in addition, by branches of the arteriae cerebri media and posteriores. The blood vessels penetrate the corpus callosum in bayonet fashion, then arborise and finally become a capillary network which is elongated in the direction of the course of the nerve fibres. Attention is drawn to peculiarities of the arteria carotis interna and the circle of Willis which, although known in the literature, are rarely referred to.

    Notes: Summary 1. Affective behaviour patterns produced by electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus were studied in unanaesthetized, freely-moving cats. Bipolar stimulation with coaxial electrodes and small cathode was used to elicit defence, attack or flight. The development of these responses was studied by varying stimulation strength. In some experiments a stuffed animal was introduced in order to study the reactions of the cat to changes in the environment during stimulation. 2. The following responses were evoked at threshold intensity: (i) growling reaction; (ii) hissing reaction; (iii) two types of flight — type a preceded by hastily looking to and fro as if in search of an exit, type b preceded by inspection of surroundings, in most cases associated with sniffing. 3. Increasing stimulation 1.5 times threshold often yielded combined patterns. At points yielding the growling reaction a defence response in which growls alternated with hisses was obtained. The points yielding flight type a sometimes yielded hissing followed by flight. Increasing stimulation at hissing points yielded either a defence reaction or the combined effect hissing-flight. 4. The growling reactions were obtained from the tuber region. The hissing responses were obtained from points above the tuber. The flight reactions, type a, were produced from the intermediate zone extending from the level of the preoptic area to the mamillary bodies and type b from the caudo-lateral hypothalamus. 5. The reactions of the cats to a dummy during stimulation varied depending on the type of response which had been evoked in the absence of the dummy. The defence reaction was converted into threatening and striking of the dummy, the combined effects into threatening, striking or biting, culminating in sudden flight. The dummy was ignored during stimulation of points yielding flight type a, but examined by sniffing during stimulation of points yielding flight type b.

    Notes: Summary 1. The results presented in the present paper are an extension of preceding work devoted to exploration of the hypothalamic defence and flight fields using coaxial electrodes with small cathode. In 33 cats simultaneous stimulation was applied to two points which upon single stimulation had yielded defence, flight, or defence and flight respectively. Results were compared with those produced at either point alone. In 2 cats combined stimulation of a defence and a flight point was carried out with a stuffed cat present. 2. The latencies and rates of the vocal effects associated with defence (growling and hissing), and the latencies of flight (jump from the table) were measured. 3. Simultaneous stimulation of two points which had yielded defence, or of two points which had yielded flight resulted in facilitation (spatial summation) of the effects evoked: a more complete defence response associated with decrease of the latencies and increase in the rates of the vocal effects; decrease of flight latencies and increase of flight impetuosity. 4. Simultaneous stimulation of a defence point which had yielded growling at lower threshold than hissing, and of a point which had yielded flight resulted in facilitation of hissing. Growling and flight were often suppressed; when they occurred, latencies were lengthened and growling rates were increased somewhat. 5. Stimulation of a defence point with a dummy present produces striking (fending off). Simultaneous stimulation of a flight point resulted in facilitation of both hissing and striking. 6. It is concluded that the complex patterns obtained when defence is combined with flight are the result of facilitatory and inhibitory interaction between the elements of the individual patterns.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. An retinalen Ganglienzellen der Katze wurde die räumliche Summation im receptiven Feldzentrum (KFZ) bei Dunkeladaptation und Helladaptation durch mittelpunktzentrierte Lichtreize verschiedener Flächengrößen untersucht. Als Kriterium dienten die Entladungsraten der ersten 200 und 500 msec nach Licht-an oder Licht-aus. Das Summationsverhalten wurde sowohl für Einzelneurone als auch gruppenstatistisch für die beiden Neuronen-Systeme B (on-Zentrum) und D (off-Zentrum) untersucht. 2. Die räumliche Summation ist auf den inneren Bereich des RFZ beschränkt: bei on-Zentrum-Neuronen steigt die Entladungsrate nur bis zu Reizflächen, die etwa 1/5 der Fläche des RFZ belichten, bei off-Zentrum-Neuronen bis zu Reizflachen von ca. 1/10 des RFZ. Bei Variation der Reizfläche zwischen 20 und 100% der Fläche des RFZ bleibt das Entladungsniveau konstant (asymptotischer Verlauf der Summationskurve). 3. Die Begrenzung der räumlichen Summation auf einen kleinen Bereich des RFZ beweist eine bereits im Feldzentrum wirksame Hemmung. Diese Zentrum-Inhibition begrenzt die Erregungssummation im RFZ bei zunehmender Flächengröße des Lichtreizes. 4. On- und off-Zentrum-Neurone unterscheiden sich in beiden Adaptationszuständen in der Höhe des Entladungsniveaus. Die Entladungsraten der on-Zentrum-Neurone nach Licht-an übertreffen um ein Mehrfaches die Entladungsraten der off-Zentrum-Neurone nach Licht-aus. Die Unterschiede sind gruppenstatistisch hoch signifikant. Die interneuronale Variabilität der Entladungsraten ist bei den onZentrum Neuronen erheblich geringer als bei den off-Zentrum-Neuronen. 5. Dunkel -und Helladaptation führt zu signifikantem Unterschied der Entladungsraten: bei Helladaptation liegt die Impulsrate beider Neuronentypen höher als bei Dunkeladaptation und der Summationsbereich ist um 5–10% größer. 6. Für die mathematische Beschreibung der Summationsverläufe ist die Hyperbel besser geeignet als die logarithmische und Potenzfunktion. Logarithmus- und Potenzfunktionen beschreiben den konstanten asymptotischen Teil der Summationskurven ungenügend und eigenen sich nur für den Kurventeil im innersten Summationsbereich. Die Bedeutung der Befunde für eine dynamische Interpretation der visuellen Feldorganisation und mögliche Beziehungen zur lateralen Umfeldhemmung werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary 1. Spatial summation of suprathreshold light stimuli within receptive field centers (RFZ) of retinal ganglion cells was investigated during dark and light adaptation in cats. The mean discharge rates for 200 and 500 msec following light on or off were the computed response criteria. The summation effects were analyzed for single neurones and statistically for grouped neuron populations of the two neuronal subsystems B (on-center-neurones) and D (off-center-neurones). 2. Spatial summation is restricted to a small part of the RFZ. On-centerneurones increase their on-discharge rates with increasing spot sizes, only if the stimulus illuminates less than 1/5 of the RFZ. The summating area of the off-centerneurones is smaller (about 1/10 of the RFZ). 3. The limitation of spatial summation to a small part of the RFZ indicates the existance of inhibition within the RFZ. This center-inhibition sets a constant limit for excitation summation in the RFZ. 4. The mean neuronal response rates for the 2 subsystems show significant differences: The on-discharges of the on-center-neurones exceed the off-discharges of the off-center-neurones by a factor of 3–5. These highly significant differences occur at both adaptation levels and are not due to different spontaneous activity. Interneuronal response variability of the off-center-neurones was twice as large as that of the on-center-neurones. 5. Change from dark to light adaptation had only a small but significant influence on summation properties. The poststimulus discharge rates were higher during light adaptation and the summating area was slightly larger (about 5–10%). 6. A comparative curve fitting procedure for three suitable mathematical functions revealed that the hyperbola describes the neuronal summation curves better than a logarithmic or power function. The latter do not fit the constant asymptotic part of the curve. The significance of the results for a dynamic interpretation of the organisation of visual receptive fields is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of the uptake of chloride by slices of cat cerebral cortex incubated in vitro have been studied for a wide range of concentrations of chloride and potassium in the incubation media. 1. In studies with 36Cl at a constant concentration of external K+, the rate of entry of chloride into slices of cat cerebral cortex (after equilibration with the fluid of the extracellular space) followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Vmax=7.7 μmoles/g/min and Km=245 mM. The kinetic data so described differ significantly from a curve describing simple diffusion (P 〈 0.02). 2. A clear dependence on concentration of K+ in the incubation medium was demonstrated. When external chloride was held constant at 6.8 mM and concentrations of potassium were varied over a range of 27–100 mM, the apparent rate of entry of chloride followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Vmax=0.191 μmoles/ g/min and Km=30.3 mM. 3. Under similar equilibrium conditions, the rate of influx of chloride was not statistically different from the rate of efflux, and the value for extracellular space (355 μl/g) derived by extrapolation from efflux data was of an identical order of magnitude to the value (352 μl/g) obtained from influx data. These values are essentially identical to those previously determined for chloride space of cat cerebral cortex in vivo (Bourke, Greenberg and Tower 1965). 4. The total, membrane-delimited content of chloride in cerebral cortex, as defined in these studies in vitro, was a function of the concentration of K+ in the incubation medium.

    Notes: Summary The ionic parameters of incubation media which foster both the development and subsequent reduction of swelling of slices of cerebral cortex under isosmotic conditions of incubation in vitro are described. A linear relationship between increasing chloride concentrations in incubation media and progressive swelling of tissue slices (under conditions of constant temperature and K+ concentrations and isotonicity of incubation media) is demonstrated. Subsequent reduction of chloride concentration in incubation media together with reciprocal replacement by isethionate is associated with significant and characteristic reduction in the volume of tissue swelling when all other conditions of incubation, including isotonicity of the media, are kept constant. The ionic composition of the fluid of swelling under different conditions of incubation is derived together with the ionic composition and expected transmembrane potentials of the neuronal compartment of cerebral cortex in vitro. Mechanisms involved in the development and subsequent reduction of swelling of cerebral cortex in vitro are discussed, and proposals for possible clinical applications are suggested.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Die räumliche Summation im receptiven Feldzentrum von Neuronen des Corpus geniculatum laterale (CG-L) wird beschrieben und mit entsprechenden Untersuchungen an retinalen Ganglienzellen verglichen. Neben größerer interneuronaler Variabilität ergeben sich ausgeprägtere Unterschiede der Summationseigenschaften der on-und off-Zentrum-Neurone. Der effektive Summationsbereich von etwa 1/5 der Fläche des RFZ ist in Retina und CGL etwa gleich. 2. Die on-Zentrum-Neurone des CGL zeigen in beiden Adaptationszuständen einen ähnlichen Summationsverlauf wie in der Retina. Das Entladungsnieau ist im CGL jedoch erheblich geringer und nicht durch Unterschiede in der Spontanaktivität zu erklären. 3. Die Mehrzahl der off-Zentrum-Neurone des CGL zeigt bei DA inverse Summationsverläufe wie in der Retina: durchgehende Verminderung der Entladungsrate der off-Antworten bei Vergrößerung der Reizfläche im RFZ. Eine kleine Gruppe zeigt einen parabelförmigen Summationsverlauf mit Entladungszunahme bis zu Reizflächen von 10–30% der Fläche des RFZ und darauffolgender Entladungsminderung. Bei Helladaptation zeigen fast alle off-Zentrum-Neurone diesen Parabelverlauf. Das durchschnittliche Entladungsniveau ist von dem retinaler offZentrum-Neurone nicht signifikant verschieden. 4. Die interneuronale Variabilität der Summationsvorgänge im RFZ von CGLNeuronen ist gegenüber den retinalen Ganglienzellen deutlich größer. Dies gilt insbesondere für die off-Zentrum-Neurone. Das Summationsverhalten von CGLNeuronen läßt sich daher nicht wie in der Retina durch einen Funktionstyp beschreiben. 5. Die Befunde sprechen für eine Transformation des retinalen Eingangs der off-Zentrum-Neurone im CGL, während die on-Zentrum-Neurone außer der bekannten Frequenzuntersetzung keine wesentliche Umformung erkennen lassen.
    Notes: Summary 1. Spatial summation in the receptive field center of neurones of the lateral geniculate body (CGL) is limited by inhibition to a small part of field center. Variations of stimulus size are only effective if the stimulus is smaller than about 1/5 of the area of receptive field center. Thus, the active summating area of the field center in the CGL corresponds to that of the retina. Geniculate neurones, however, show less homogeneous responses and the summation properties of the two neuronal subsystems (on-center-and off-center-cells), show greater differences than in the retina. 2. The form of summation curves for the on-center-neurones of the CGL is similar to those of the retina at both adaptation levels. However, the average responses rates in the CGL are considerably lower. This is not due to differences of spontaneous activity. 3. The summation characteristics of off-responses of off-center-neurones of the CGL are quite different from those in the retina. In dark adaptation the majority of CGL neurones respond with decreasing discharge rates to increasing spot-sizes within the field center. A small number show an initial increase of discharge rates up to stimulus sizes of about 1/10 of the receptive field center before a decrease occurs. This parabolic summation type is typical for most off-center-neurones in light adaptation. The mean discharge levels are the same as those of the retinal offcenter-neurones. 4. The higher interneuronal variability of summation curves especially of the off-center-neurones of the CGL indicates a more complex determination of the discharge properties of CGL neurones. This functional differentiation of single neurones is congruent with the more complex structural and synaptic organisation in CGL. 5. With respect to spatial summation, the results indicate a transformation of the retinal input of the off-center-neurones at the geniculate level, whereas the oncenter-neurones are nearly unchanged.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zur Beschreibung von Korrelationen zwischen zahlreichen elektrophysiologischen Daten aus verschiedenen Hirngebieten wurde eine Faktorenanalyse nach der Hauptachsenmethode gerechnet. Ausgangsmaterial dieser Analyse waren Schwellen subcortical ausgelöster und abgeleiteter Antwortpotentiale auf Einzelreize. Das resultierende Faktorenmuster ermöglicht ein quantitatives Konzept der Schwellendetermination subcorticaler Reizantworten und zugleich ein Modell von Funktionsbeziehungen zwischen einigen Hirnstrukturen. Die Reizungen und Ableitungen erfolgten bei 35 encéphale isolé-Katzen mit Hilfe bipolarer Elektroden in folgenden Arealen: Amygdala, Hippocampus, Septum, N. dorsomedialis Thalami, Hypothalamus posterior und Formatio reticularis mesencephali. Es wurden 435 Korrelationskoeffizienten zwischen den Schwellen von 30 subcorticalen Verbindungen gebildet und zum Zwecke einer Datenreduktion durch eine Matrix von 5 Faktoren reproduziert. 1. Jeder Faktor repräsentierte hohe Schwellenkorrelationen zwischen den efferenten Projektionen jeweils eines Kerngebietes. Demnach nimmt im allgemeinen die Aktivität des Reizortes den größten Einfluß auf die Schwelle eines Antwortpotentials. Diese Hypothese ist durch pharmakologische Untersuchungen belegt worden [27] 2. Kovariationen von Reizantworten mit identischen Ableiteorten ergaben sich ausnahmslos, wenn die Latenzzeiten mehr als 11 msec betrugen. 3. Zusätzlich zeigte die Faktorenmatrix Schwellenkorrelationen zwischen: a) den hypothalamischen Efferenzen und mehreren hippokampalen Afferenzen langer Latenz (positive Korrelationen) b) retikulo-limbischen Verbindungen und „primären” Efferenzen von Amygdala und Hippocampus (positive Korrelationen) c) Antwortpotentialen, die durch Reizung der Formatio reticularis, und solchen, die durch Reizung des N. Amygdalae ausgelöst waren (negative Korrelationen) d) den Efferenzen des N. dorsomedialis Thalami und limbischen Projektionen langer Latenz zur mesencephalen Formatio reticularis (positive Korrelationen) Die Interpretation dieser Zusammenhänge bestätigt und erweitert einige bekannte Modelle von Beziehungen zwischen subcorticalen Kerngebieten. Abschließend wird mit Rücksicht auf die Linearität der mathematischen Methode die Anwendbarkeit der Faktorenanalyse auf Schwellen von Reizantworten diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary In 35 cats (encéphale isolé) evoked responses were elicited and recorded with bipolar electrodes from the amygdala, hippocampus, septum, dorsomedial thalamic nucleus, posterior hypothalamus, and mesencephalic reticular formation. Correlations between the thresholds of responses in different areas following stimulation of other areas were described by a factor analysis according to the principal axis method. 435 coefficients of correlation were calculated and reproduced by a matrix of 5 factors for the purpose of data reduction. Each factor represented high threshold correlations between the efferent projections of one region, which suggests that the activity of the stimulated site exerts a major influence on the evoked potential threshold. This is supported by pharmacological studies [27, 49]. Covariations of responses recorded in the same nucleus were always found, if the latencies exceeded 11 msec. The factor matrix indicated threshold correlations between: the efferent projections of the hypothalamus and several long latency afferent projections to the hippocampus (positive correlations); reticulo-limbic connections and “primary” efferent connections of the amygdala and hippocampus (positive correlations); evoked potentials following reticular and amygdaloid stimulation (negative correlations); the efferent projections of the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus and long latency limbic projections to the mesencephalic reticular formation (positive correlations). The interpretation of these relationships confirms and extends some well known models of relations between subcortical regions. The applicability of factor analysis to evoked potential thresholds is discussed with regard to the linearity of the mathematical method.

    Notes: Summary Effects of repetitive stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) on the static discharge and dynamic sensitivity of muscle spindle primary endings (soleus muscle) were studied in cats anaesthetized with Halothane (Fluothane). By progressive increasing the depth of anaesthesia three different fusimotor effects could be observed: 1. A static effect; the static discharge of the primary endings was strongly increased; the response to phasic stretch was decreased or remained unaltered. 2. A dynamic effect; the dynamic sensitivity of the primary endings was powerfully increased while the rate of discharge under static conditions was only slightly augmented. 3. A depressant effect; the static discharge and the dynamic sensitivity of primary endings were decreased. Repeated stimulation elicited successive static and dynamic effects. No specific regions within the MRF could be related to a particular effect.

    Notes: Summary The effects of cortical stimulation upon dynamic and static sensitivities of the sensory endings in muscle spindles have been analyzed. 63 single afferent fibers from the muscle spindles of the forelimb extensors: M. flexor carpi radialis, M. flexor digitorum communis and M. palmaris longus were isolated in dorsal root filaments in 20 adult cats under chloralose-urethane anesthesia. They were identified by their response to stimulation of the median nerve. 1. Surface anodal repetitive stimulation of the anterior sigmoid gyrus was found to produce an enhancement of static response of single Group II fibers. Effective area was localized in a restricted region which corresponded to the forelimb motor area. The effect was obtained without any concomitant muscle contraction. Similarly, the stimulation increased the resting discharges of the Group Ia fibers from the same muscles. 2. Stimulation of the same area in the cerebral cortex was also found to increase the dynamic sensitivities of primary sensory endings. The increase was revealed by an enhancement of initial burst discharge during relaxation period of a twitch contraction caused by median nerve stimulation. 3. These results indicate that stimulation of the forelimb motor area has a facilitatory effect on both the static and dynamic fusimotor neurons innervating the muscle spindles of the test muscles. 4. The effects were reproduced in pyramidal tract preparations in which the brainstem was cut either at the level of the midbrain except for the cerebral peduncle or at the level of caudal medulla oblongata sparing the pyramid. 5. The threshold for the fusimotor effects was less than 1.3–1.5 times threshold of the pyramidal tract discharge, when the best spot for eliciting the fusimotor response was chosen. These results indicate that the effects of cortical stimulation are mainly mediated by the fast conducting pyramidal tract fibers.

    Notes: Summary 1. In order to compare the selective value of repetitive cathodal pulses of 8 c.p.s. and of continuous sine-wave alternating currents of 5000 c.p.s. (middle frequency current) when applied to brain tissue, explorations were made in the region of the hypothalamus that had yielded defence and/or flight reactions in earlier experiments. The region was explored by stimulating each point in turn with both current forms. At the same time measurement was made of the impedance of the brain tissue, and the effects produced by altering the time of rise of the middle frequency current on threshold of responses were also studied. The experiments were carried out on unanaesthetized, freely moving cats. 2. Both stimulation types produced affective (“emotional”) responses. The patterns elicited by low frequency cathodal pulse stimulation were often associated with stimulus-bound phasic muscle activity, i.e., flapping of ears, and twitching of whiskers, or, rotation of the head. Such extraneous motor effects were rarely obtained when continuous middle frequency currents were applied, and were tonic in character when present. 3. Mapping of reactive points revealed that the area producing defence or flight following middle frequency stimulation is smaller in size than the field delimited by means of repetitive cathodal pulse stimulation. These results strongly suggest that spread of current can be reduced by using middle frequency current stimulation. This apparently local (and hence highly selective) action is paralleled by a lower impedance of the brain tissue to the rapidly changing polarity of this current. 4. The hissing (and/or growling) associated with the defence pattern showed adaptation to suddenly rising middle frequency currents of 30 secs duration. An increase in threshold of hissing occurred when the time of rise of the current was prolonged. Flight, in contrast, was obtained at the same critical intensity regardless of the time of rise of current. 5. The nature of the stimulatory action of middle frequency current (examined in the peripheral nerve by Wyss) and the advantages presented by this new method of brain stimulation are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary 1. Field and unitary potentials evoked in the vestibulo-cerebellum of frog and cat following vestibular nerve stimulation were recorded with microelectrodes and correlated with their site of origin in the various layers of the cerebellar cortex. 2. In the frog, primary vestibular fibers project both as mossy and as climbing fibers onto the cerebellar auricular lobe. Secondary vestibulo-cerebellar fibers seem to end exclusively as mossy fibers in the auriculum. As a consequence of this dual projection, extra- and intracellular recordings from Purkinje cells in the auricular lobe show two kinds of responses to vestibular nerve stimulation: a) graded, repetitive firing mediated through mossy fiber-granule cell-parallel fiber pathways, and b) all-or-none burst responses caused by monosynaptic impingement of vestibular climbing fibers on Purkinje cells. 3. The field and unitary potentials evoked in the cat nodulus, flocculus and uvula following vestibular nerve stimulation are shown to be generated by mossy fibers exclusively. Considerable convergence of the two labyrinthine mossy fiber inputs to a given cerebellar area was found. 4. Interaction of contralateral and ipsilateral mossy fiber input at the level of the flocculus suggests that Golgi cell inhibition might operate not only as a simple inhibitory feedback loop, but also as a complex gating operator at the granule layer. 5. No short latency climbing fiber activation of Purkinje cells was observed following VIIIth nerve stimulation. Stimulation of the contralateral inferior olive evoked short latency climbing fiber EPSPs in Purkinje cells of the vestibulo-cerebellum. Suggestions are made as to the possible role of mossy and climbing fiber inputs to this area of the cerebellum.

    Notes: Summary Examination of cutaneous receptive fields (RFs) of lamina 5 cells in the lumbar spinal cord of decerebrate cats shows them to have three distinct zones with respect to mechanical and electrical stimulation. The mean response rate to both mechanical and electrical stimulation in zone 1 increases steadily up to the highest strengths used; in zone 2, surrounding zone 1 mainly proximally, mild stimuli reduce the mean rate, stronger stimuli increase it; in zone 3, mainly proximal to zone 2, all stimuli reduce the rate. Temporally, zone 1, electric shocks near threshold produce bursts of firing followed by inhibition. With increased stimulus strength, the bursts lengthen to a second or more. In zones 2 and 3, inhibition at all strengths is preceded at higher strengths by bursts of firing. Cold-blocking the spinal cord at lower thoracic levels reversibly increases the ongoing activity of these cells, increases the area of zones 1 and 2, and almost completely suppresses all inhibition. Stimulation of dorsal columns and threshold stimulation of distant dorsal roots inhibits ongoing and induced activity. Barbiturate decreases ongoing activity and the duration of firing produced by cutaneous electrical stimulation but does not decrease inhibition. These results are consistent with a model in which low-threshold fibres are excitatory only over a small central area of the RF of a lamina 5 cell (zone 1), high threshold fibres are excitatory over a larger area (zones 1 and 2), and low threshold fibres are inhibitory over the entire receptive field (zones 1, 2 and 3) with a slower time-course. This inhibition is tonically enhanced by descending influences in the decerebrate cat. It is suggested that the high and low threshold fibres correspond approximately to the small and large diametre fibres whose balance is the basis for the coding of pain in the theory of melzack and wall.

    Notes: Summary 1. During a progressive increase of Fluothane (Halothane) anaesthesia, repetitive stimulation of the mesencephalic retioular formation (MRF) produces several fusimotor effects — static, dynamic or depressant — on primary endings of soleus muscle spindles (Vedel et Mouillac-Baudevin 1969). 2. Transection of the brain immediately rostral to the site of stimulation may increase the dynamic effect but does not alter the static or the depressant effects. 3. A section of the rubrospinal tract does not modify the fusimotor effects elicited by stimulation of the MRF. 4. Transections of the spinal cord have shown that the pathways responsible for the transmission of these effects are mainly situated in the ipsilateral ventral and ventrolateral funiculi which contain the efferent fibers from the pontine reticular formation (PRF), from the bulbar reticular formation (BRF) and from the vestibular nucleus. 5. Contra and ipsilateral PRF stimulation produces the static fusimotor effect; contralateral stimulation from a small anterior region produces the dynamic effect. 6. Stimulation of the lateral part of the ipsilateral BRF elicits the dynamic effect while stimulation of the medial part elicits the static effect.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Wirksamkeit verschiedener Ester und Äther von Helveticosid und Helveticosol bei i.v. und intraduodenaler Zufuhr an Katzen und Meerschweinchen geprüft. 1. Bei i.v. Dauerinfusion waren Helveticosol und seine Derivate bei Meerschweinchen etwa doppelt so wirksam wie die analogen Helveticosidverbindungen. Bei der Katze bestand kein Unterschied. Die Monomethyläther Cymarin und Cymarol waren gleich oder sogar stärker wirksam, alle übrigen Derivate deutlich schwächer als die Ausgangssubstanzen. 2. Die tödlichen Dosen bei intraduodenaler Injektion lagen beim Meerschweinchen für einige Substanzen in gleicher Größenordnung oder niedriger als die Titer bei i.v. Infusion. Diese hohe enterale Wirksamkeit kann bei Helveticosid und seinen Derivaten durch eine Reduktion zu dem wirksameren Helveticosol, bei Estern außerdem durch eine Hydrolyse zu wirksameren Glykosiden vorgetäuscht werden. 3. Bei intraduodenaler Infusion an Katzen waren alle geprüften Ester und Äther wirksamer als Helveticosid und Helveticosol. Die aus dem Verhältnis der toxischen Dosen bei i.v. und intraduodenaler Infusion berechnete enterale Wirksamkeit lag zwischen 20 und 50%. 4. Unterschiede in der Dauer der intraduodenalen Infusion bei Katzen lassen sich berücksichtigen, wenn man von der theoretischen Annahme einer exponentiellen und vollständigen Resorption ausgeht und die Halbwertszeit für die Resorption berechnet. Die minimale Resorptionsgeschwindigkeit lag bei einigen Derivaten in gleicher Größenordnung wie bei Digoxin und Digitoxin. Es wird auf den Unterschied zwischen der auf Grund der pharmakologischen Wirkung bestimmten relativen enteralen Wirksamkeit und der Resorptionsquote hingewiesen. Letztere ist für die Verläßlichkeit der therapeutischen Wirkung eines Glykosids bei oraler Gabe maßgebend.
    Notes: Summary The efficacy of several esters and ethers of Helveticosid and Helveticosol was assayed by intravenous and intraduodenal administration to cats and guinea-pigs. 1. In guinea-pigs, Helveticosol and its derivatives were approximately twice as active on intravenous infusion as the analogous derivatives of Helveticosid; in cats there was no significant difference. The monomethylethers Cymarin and Cymarol were equally or slightly more potent, all other derivatives were weaker than the original compound. 2. In guinea-pigs the lethal doses of some compounds on intraduodenal injection were equal to or even lower than those on intravenous infusion. This may partly be accounted for by a reduction of Helveticosid and its derivatives to the more potent Helveticosol analogues, partly by a hydrolysis of the esters, yielding compounds of higher activity. 3. On intraduodenal infusion in cats, all the investigated esters and ethers were more active than Helveticosid and Helveticosol. The relative enteral activity calculated from the ratio of the toxic doses on intravenous and intraduodenal infusion varied between 20 and 50%. 4. Due to a delayed absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, the toxic dose falls with a reduced speed of intraduodenal infusion. Assuming an exponential and complete absorption, the half time of absorption was calculated. For some of the compounds investigated, the speed of absorption was comparable to that of Digoxin and Digitoxin. The difference between the relative enteral activities determined by comparing equiactive doses on enteral and parenteral administration and the percentages of the glycosides which are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is pointed out. The latter is of prime importance for obtaining reproducible effects after enteral administration.

    Notes: Summary 1. The cardiac glyoosides digitoxin, ouabain, digoxin and peruvosid labelled with3H were injected into tied intestinal loops of anaesthetized cats in situ. The absorbed glycosides were measured in the blood of the portal vein and in the intestinal lymph. At the same time the3H-activity was measured in the blood of the peripheral circulation, in the bile and in the urine. 2. Calculation of the amount of glycosides totally absorbed from the3H-concentration in the blood of the portal vein and the circulation volume (bubble-flow-meter) gave the following absorption rates as a percentage of the administered dose per hour: digitoxin 56%, digoxin 42%, peruvosid 26% and ouabain 10%. 3. The amount of glycosides passing into the lymph during 1 hour was found to be only 0.006 to 0.02% of the amount offered. In lymph3H-activity cannot be measured earlier than 5 min after the administration of the labelled glycosides. The3H-concentration in the lymph did not equal that measured in the blood of the peripheral circulation until at least 1 hour after the administration and always remained below the3H-concentration of the blood in the portal vein. This proportion remained unchanged even if digitoxin was administered as an emulsion in oil instead of an aqueous solution. From the time course of3H-concentration it might be concluded that the glycosides do not pass directly to the lymph after absorption but indirectly by way of the blood. 4. The amount of glycoside excreted in the bile is for peruvosid 15,5% of the amount absorbed, for ouabain 1,9%, for digoxin 1,4% and for digitoxin 0,8%. The3H-activity excreted in urine is very small and can be disregarded. 5. Chromatographic analyses of the bile revealed, that in the case of digoxin, 4/5 of the amount excreted were unchanged, in the case of digitoxin and ouabain 2/3 and in the case of peruvosid only 1/4. In the lumen of the tied intestinal loops and in the tissue of the small intestine the glycosides were hardly metabolised.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An 11 intercolliculär decerebrierten Katzen wurde geziegt, daß Kälteblockade eines eng umschriebenen Feldes auf der ventralen Oberfläche der Medulla oblongata, wie früher für anaesthesierte Tiere beschrieben, zu Atemstillstand führt, wenn die kontralaterale Stelle auf der Medulla oblongata, die Sinusnerven und die Vagi ausgeschaltet sind. Zu Atemstillstand kam es auch, wenn statt der Kälteblockade 2% Novocain durch lokale Superfusion bei gleichzeitiger Gegenspülung der Umgebung mit künstlichem Liquor angewandt wurde, oder wenn ein mit 1% Novocain getränkter Tupfer lokal aufgelegt wurde. Außerdem führte Kälteblockade zu Atemstillstand, wenn durch kontinuierliche auch während der Kälteblockade anhaltende elektrische Reizung eines N. femoralis oder hinterer Lumbalwurzeln an decerebrierten Katzen oder des Hypothalamus an einer anaesthesierten Katze Steigerungen der Ventilation ausgelöst worden waren. Elektrische Reizung eines Sinusnerven führte zu Atemsteigerungen. Bei Sinusnervenreizung während eines durch Kälteblockade ausgelösten Atemstillstands kam es zu rhythmischer Atmung. Aus diesen Untersuchungen wird geschlossen, daß mit der Ausschaltung der beschriebenen Felder auf der ventralen Oberfläche der Medulla oblongata am sonst desafferentierten Tier die Gesamtheit der für die zentrale CO2-Empfindlichkeit verantwortlichen Strukturen erfaßt ist, daß nach Ausschaltung der zentralen und der peripheren Chemosensibilität eine unspezifische Aktivierung der Atmungszentren unwirksam ist und daß die Atmungszentren zur Ausbildung einer rhythmischen Atmung von spezifischen Antrieben abhängig sind.
    Notes: Summary It was shown in 11 decerebrated cats, that cooling of a small and well defined area on the ventral surface of the medulla will cause respiratory arrest if the contralateral area of the medulla, the vagi and sinus nerves are eliminated. This confirms earlier observations obtained in anesthetized cats. Apnea was also produced by local superfusion of 2% procain with simultaneous flushing of the immediate surrounding area with mock spinal fluid. Local application of a small sponge soaked with 1% procain had the same effect. Electrical stimulation of femoral nerves or posterior roots which results in hyperventilation on the decerebrated cat failed to show any effect during periods of cold blockade. There was no respiratory response to direct stimulation of the hypothalamus in an anesthetized cat during cooling. Electrical stimulation of one sinus nerve caused an increase of ventilation. Sinus nerve stimulation during apnea induced by cold blockade resulted in rhythmical respiration. It is concluded from these experiments: Blocking of the area under discussion on the ventral surface of the medulla, inhibits all structures responsible for the central CO2-sensitivity in the deafferentiated animal. There was no response to non-specific stimuli of the respiratory center after elimination of central and peripheral chemosensitivity. The respiratory centers apparently depend on specific stimuli to support rhythmical respiration.

    Notes: Summary Single cell activity was recorded extracellularly from neurones in cat's abducens nuclei in unanesthetized, decerebrate preparations. Two types of neurones were found. i) The motoneurones (type IIA) increased their firing linearly or exponentially to contralateral constant angular accelerations and decreased firing to ipsilateral rotation. The increased frequency was maintained at a constant level without any sign of adaptation. This constant level of maximum frequency was proportional to the logarithm of the acceleration applied. No significant differences of the frequency responses of tonic and silent motoneurones were found. The conduction velocities of the axons of spontaneously firing type IIA cells were slower than in silent neurones. Electrical stimulation of the contralateral VIIIth nerve led to activation of the type IIA cells; stimulation of the ipsilateral nerve resulted in inhibition of both spontaneous discharge and antidromic invasion of the motoneurones. ii) The type IA units increased their firing rate to ipsilateral rotation and ceased to discharge in response to contralateral rotation. They never were excited antidromically by stimulation of the VIth nerve. However, they were excited by stimulation of the ipsilateral VIIIth nerve. Their possible functional role in the vestibulo-ocular system was discussed.

    Notes: Summary The lateral cervical nucleus (LCN) has been studied with the light and electron microscope after midbrain lesions in kittens of different ages, and in adult cats. It has been shown that nerve cells remain within the contralateral LCN after hemisection of the midbrain. performed on 1 day old kittens. The estimated number of these remaining cells was 3–19% in the different cases. No fibers descending to the LCN from levels rostral to the midbrain could be demonstrated in adult cats with the Nauta technique. A combined Nauta and electron microscopical investigation was performed on kittens operated on at different ages and allowed to survive varying times postoperatively. At the operations the LCN-axons were transected at midbrain level. The Nauta investigation demonstrated silver impregnation of degenerating LCN-neurons on the affected side of the same type as has been described recently in other neuronal systems following axonal transection. The ultrastructural study revealed electron dense degenerating dendrites and probably also nerve cells within the LCN. The dense degenerative changes were very similar to the dense degeneration in terminal boutons following transection of parent axons. The potential value of the findings for electron microscopical research in neuroanatomy is discussed. The results in terms of connections of the LCN are discussed in the light of known anatomical and physiological data of the LCN.

    Notes: Summary 1. Inhibitory activity in the cat medial geniculate body (MG) was examined by stimulating electrically and acoustically the input and output of the MG. 2. A longer and more profound depression of excitability occurs following a click-evoked potential in the MG than in the inferior colliculus (IC) in both anesthetized and unanesthetized states. Recovery is cyclic in the barbiturate MG preparation. 3. Electrical stimulation of the brachium of the inferior colliculus (BIG) evokes a field potential in the MG consisting of clearly distinguishable presynaptic and postsynaptic components. The presynaptic component recovers rapidly, while the postsynaptic component requires 100–200 msec for full recovery. This depression of excitability is localized within the MG since cortical ablation does not alter its occurrence. 4. Stimulation of the BIC mimics the effects of click stimulation on single units. Excitatory, inhibitory and reverberatory responses are evoked by the BIC shock. Suppression of single unit activity correlates with the depression of excitability following a BIC-evoked field response. 5. Cortical stimulation can evoke antidromic and trans-synaptic unit responses in the MG, as well as causing a variety of inhibitory effects and reverberation. In view of the fact that cortical ablation does not impair the recording of these responses to afferent stimuli, it is suggested that the cortical-evoked responses are at least partly mediated by antidromic conduction to MG. 6. Evidence is presented that inhibitory effects of both afferent and cortical stimulation are due to active inhibition of MG unit activity. Speculations are made as to the mechanisms producing inhibition and reverberation in the MG.

    Notes: Summary The electron microscopical changes occurring in the pontine nuclei following unilateral lesions of the primary sensorimotor cortex have been studied in 7 cats with a survival time from 2–23 days. A description is also given of the fine structure of the pontine regions in receipt of the fibres. These regions are shown in Fig. 1. The study shows that the boutons are practically only in synaptic contact with dendrites. The bouton density on these is only 16%. The boutons are of the en passage and terminal type, with the latter as the most common (Figs. 4a-e). The synaptic vesicles are rounded or elongated. The formaldehyde fixed material had 17.8% boutons with vesicles of the elongated type; the material fixed with a mixture of formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde had only 11.5% of such boutons. The degenerating boutons show the dark type of reaction and the majority of the corticopontine fibres are of the type shown in Figs. 4d and 4e. Astrocytes and microglial cells participate in the removal of degenerating boutons and terminal fibres. Degenerating boutons are present even at the 23 day stage and some have apparently only started to degenerate.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of terminal degeneration within the lateral cervical nucleus (LCN) after transection of its spinal afferent fibers 2 days–2 years earlier is described. The degeneration after 2 days was of both the neurofilamentous and dense type. The highest number of degenerating terminals, about 15%, was found after 4–5 days. Then most of the degenerating boutons were of the dense type. The degenerating terminals had synaptic contact with cell bodies and dendrites of LCN-neurons. Removal of the degenerating boutons seemed to be effected by a phagocytic cell present in increased number compared to the normal LCN. In cases with long survival times an increase in the number of astroglial filaments was observed. In an animal where the spinal afferents to the LCN had been cut 2 years earlier a decrease in medium size of the neurons was observed. The amount of dendritic spines was also considerably smaller than normally.

Ein konditionierender corticaler Reiz inhibiert den somatischen Startlereflex bei Katzen unter Chloralosenarkose für eine Dauer von mehr als 200 ms. Die Interaktionen zwischen beiden Reizen laufen in der bulbären und pontinen Formatio reticularis ab. 2. Dem Startlereflex liegt eine polysynaptische Erregungsschleife zugrunde, die die bulbäre und pontine Formatio reticularis durchzieht. Die Resistenz der reticulären Neurone gegenüber repetitiver Stimulation wurde als Kriterium ihrer funktionellen Lokalisation auf dem polysynaptischen Reflexbogen gewertet. 3. Die corticale Inhibition wird im Verlaufe der polysynaptischen Erregungsschleife zunehmend stärker. Neurone, die von den Startlereflexafferenzen direkt erregt werden, werden durch den corticalen Reiz nicht inhibiert. Dies schliebt eine präsynaptische Inhibition der reticulopetalen Fasersysteme aus.
    Notes: Summary 1. The startle reflex evoked by cutaneous stimulation in cats under chloralose anesthesia is inhibited for more than 200 ms by a conditioning cortical volley. The interaction between the cutaneous and the cortical volley takes place in the bulbar and pontine reticular formation. 2. The startle reflex involves a series of reticular neurones. Resistance to repetitive stimulation has been determined to evaluate the functional localization of each neurone within this polysynaptic path. 3. Inhibition following the cortical volley becomes increasingly more effective along the course of the polysynaptic path and is completed within 5–6 ms. Reticular neurones excited directly by the spino-reticular afferents are not inhibited, thus excluding a presynaptic inhibition of the spinoreticular fibres.

    Notes: Summary Spontaneous EEG-patterns and evoked potentials (EP's) of symmetrical cortical areas were recorded in chronic and acute cats before and after section of the corpus callosum, the commissura anterior and posterior and the massa intermedia. The spontaneous EEG was recorded without and with anesthesia, EP's after electrical stimulation of the fore-paws only during nembutal anesthesia. — No changes in the bilateral coordination of spontaneous and evoked EEG-patterns could be seen after commissurotomy (CT). The bilateral coherence of EEG-waves as revealed by cross-correlation is low already in the normal cats and does not change significantly after CT. The values of cross-correlation coefficients at T = ± 15 msec vary during one EEG-record between -0.25 and +0.25 in the somatosensory, suprasylvian and temporal areas (mean values slightly above 0). In the visual area occasionally positive values between 0.5 and 0.8 were seen, but also here a large variation was found in all animals and the mean values were below 0.1. No consistent phase shift between both sides was observed. EEG-patterns like spindles or arousal, still occurred together in both hemispheres after CT, the variability of their exact beginning or end was the same as in controls. Spontaneous spindles often lasted longer after section of the massa intermedia. Homolateral EP's in the somato-sensory area were still present after CT. Rhythmical afterdischarges could be restricted to the contralateral somato-sensory cortex even before CT.

The general behaviour and the EEG were unchanged during the treatment, in particular no signs of dyskinesia were observed. After discontinuation of the administration, the behaviour and the EEG of the animals stayed normal. Thus no lasting and irreversible side effects could be observed.

    Notes: Summary The effect of LSD 25 (i. v. injection) on the spontaneous and evoked activity of the visual system was investigated in cats. 50 γ/kg did not change significantly the ERG and the visual cortical evoked potential. The spontaneous discharge rate of 14 out of 21 retinal ganglion cells showed an increase which reached its maximum within 20–30 min and which could still be present 1 hour following the injection. One third of the retinal units showed a slight depression of their spontaneous dischaRge rate with about the same time course. Single units of the LGN showed about the same behaviour. The response to light stimulation was slightly increased in some units and light induced inhibition was slightly shortened. The possible mechanism of the LSD-effect on retinal ganglion cell activity is discussed.

    Notes: The use of heuristic structuring strategies in the development of computer programs for the synthesis of process designs is examined. By the employment of selection weights which are adjusted as experience is gained from past successes and failures, the computer is able to learn the sequence of structuring decisions which leads toward the optimal process design. The computer can develop competence in the synthesis of systems in a limited area of technology.

    Notes: The success enjoyed by a laminar flow stability parameter that I previously developed as a generalization of the critical Reynolds number of laminar turbulent transition has occasioned considerable interest in the phenomenological theory underlying the parameter. In this paper an analysis of laminar flow stability is presented which leads naturally to the parameter in a much different manner than originally proposed. The stability parameter is seen to represent the coupling ratio between the rate of change of angular momentum of a deforming fluid element and its rate of loss of momentum by frictional drag. At a certain critical value of this coupling ratio, the element becomes unstable to rotational disturbances. If such disturbances are present, the basic nonlinearity of the momentum transfer process guarantees rapid amplification and generation of a turbulent eddy. The consequnces of the theory are examined for two special fixed boundary classes of motion. The physical interpretation of the parameter is compared with conventional interpretations of the Reynolds number and found to be more fundamentally sound. The application of the theory to moving boundary flows, such as the Couette viscometer, is also discussed and an important physical difference is pointed out.

    Notes: An approximate solution is presented for the countercurrent parallel plate exchanger with laminar flow. With the use of the integral method, the problem is reduced to one of solving a pair of first-order differential equations in a straightforward manner. Comparisons between the results of this work and those obtained from a more elaborate orthogonal expansion technique are found to be excellent.

    Notes: The permeation of carbon dioxide through polyethylene membranes has been studied at pressures up to 54.4 atm. and at temperatures above and below the critical temperature of the gas (31.0°C.). The permeability coefficient is independent of pressure at the highest experimental temperature (61.0°C.), but becomes increasingly pressure-dependent as the temperature is lowered. The principle of corresponding states can be used to correlate the solubility of both gases and vapors in polyethylene over a wide range of temperatures. This principle can also be invoked to obtain an upper limit for the penetrant pressure above which the permeability coefficient becomes pressure-dependent. The effect of pressure on the permeability, solubility, and diffusivity of gases and vapors in polyethylene is discussed in some detail.

    Notes: Axial dispersion was studied experimentally for turbulent flow through a 1 1/4-in. piping system containing 90 deg. elbows. The Reynolds number range was 15,400 to 96,555. The imperfect pulse tracer technique was used with the axial dispersion numbers being obtained from the difference in variances of concentration-time curves observed at two points in the system.Elbows interconnected by short lengths of pipe with each succeeding one reversed so as to cause a change in the direction of flow, increased axial dispersion by 35 to 61% over that expected for straight pipe, while the same elbows turned so as to form a helix decreased the dispersion substantially; however, the amount of axial dispersion was still 8 to 22% greater than that observed for straight pipe.The equivalent lengths of the elbows depend upon both their arrangement and the Reynolds number. Closely placed, helically arranged elbows required equivalent lengths of from 2.9 to 5.1 diam., while a reversed arrangement required 6.9 to 11.6 diam. Elbows separated by a developing length and randomly arranged yielded an equivalent length range of 3.6 to 10.6 diam. The geometical l/d ratio of the elbows used was 2.05.

    Notes: Solubilities and diffusivities of various gases (helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, neon, krypton, and monochlorodifluoromethane) in molten or thermally softened polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polystyrene, and polymethylmethacrylate) have been correlated with structural characteristics, temperature, and pressure. Temperature dependence of both Henry's Law constants and diffusivities were of the Arrhenius equation form. No appreciable effect of pressure was found for either Henry's Law constants or diffusivities up to 300 atm. Earlier correlations for Henry's Law constants in solid polymer systems were found to be inapplicable for molten and thermally softened polymers. New correlations were developed individually for the latter systems. The correlating factor used was the gas Lennard-Jones force constant. Existing correlations for diffusivities were also found not to apply to molten and thermally softened systems. New correlations were again developed on an individual polymer basis. These related diffusivity to gas Lennard-Jones collision diameter or molecular diameter. Generalized correlations were also developed that held for a number of polymers. These were for both Henry's Law constants and diffusivities.

    Notes: A generalized drying program that can simulate any drying conditions has been solved on a computer. The program includes the variation of humidity, temperature, and wind velocity over drying material. These three variables can be treated as functions of time. The correlations require knowledge of several basic properties of the material to be dried and were solved for the case of one directional heat and mass flow.The computer calculated results are checked with experimental data. The effective diffusivity and the solid surface resistance to mass transfer were evaluated by data obtained in three experiments.Solutions for constant drying conditions are presented in graphical form. Variations of such variables as humidity in a drier can be estimated from these curves but the computer program is more reliable.

    Notes: A region into which particles arrive in a random manner, remain a random amount of time, and then leave is considered. This model is used in penetration theories of heat and mass transfer. From observations of the number of particles present at any time, it is desired to estimate arrival and exit statistics, residence time statistics, and average rates of transfer across the region. Assuming arrival is a Poisson process, equations governing the above statistics are derived. Some problems in spectral analysis arising from the use of nondifferentiable stochastic processes are solved. Estimators for important parameters are discussed, and it is shown that generally they are biased. A derivation linking the rate of transfer across the region with the rates of transfer of particles is obtained and compared with other such results.

    Notes: Differential equations were derived to describe the system characterized by a rapid, irreversible reaction of a fluid species in a flowing fluid with a fixed bed of solids in which the reaction rate was controlled by mass transfer of the reacting fluid from the bulk fluid to the reaction site in the solid. Two kinds of mass transfer resistances were assumed, external or film diffusion resistance, and internal pore diffusion resistance. The set of differential equations were solved by a finite-difference method for both the generalized case and for the specific case of reaction of hydrogen in a stream of helium with fixed beds of copper oxide pellets.The hydrogen-copper oxide reaction is one step in a proposed method for removal of hydrogen as a contaminant in the helium coolant of nuclear reactors. This reaction was experimentally investigated in tests with both differential and deep beds of copper oxide in the temperature range of 400 to 600°C., at pressures of 10.2 to 30.0 atm., with gas mass flow rates of 0.0050 to 0.050 g./sq.cm.-sec, and with inlet hydrogen concentrations of 0.0008 to 1.21 vol. %. These tests showed that the system could be described by the two rate-limiting steps: film and pore diffusion of hydrogen. Differential-bed tests were used to establish hydrogen transport properties within the porous copper oxide pellets, and tests with deep beds were used to establish external mass transport properties.Generalized breakthrough curves were determined by a computer solution of the mathematical model. These curves can be the basis for design of fixed-bed copper oxide oxidizers for gas-cooled, nuclear reactor purification systems and for design of any fixed-bed system which follows the assumed reaction mechanism.

    Notes: Drag coefficients of aerodynamically smooth spheres varying in diameter from 0.0625 to 1.004 in. and in density from 0.195 to 7.80 g./cc. were obtained at acceleration rates ranging from 120 to -30 ft./sq.sec. The particles were subjected to relative turbulence intensities of 7 to 35% and to ratios of Eulerian macroscale to particle diameter of about 0.4 to 5.Quantitative measurement of particle drag coefficients was made possible by the use of a new particle tracing technique which permits the resolution of time to the nearest tenth of a millisecond. The resulting data extend farther into the supercritical flow regime than any other measurements previously reported.The variation in drag coefficient with Reynolds number indicates a continuous alteration in the flow pattern around a sphere in this region. The effect of turbulence is, essentially, to increase supercritical drag, although this effect was found to diminish with increasing Reynolds number. Possible mechanisms for the effects of Reynolds number and turbulence on the particle drag coefficient are suggested.

    Notes: Entrance region and fully developed mass transfer from the inner core of annuli was investigated for a fully developed velocity profile and a Schmidt number of 760. Constant wall concentration was the satisfied boundary condition of the inner core.The ranges of parameters investigated were 21,400 to 75,600 for Reynolds number, 0.164 to 0.741 for the annulus diameter ratio, and 0.018 to 3.85 for the length to hydraulic diameter ratios.Experiments were performed in an open water flow loop. Mass transfer coefficients were obtained from weight loss measurements of benzoic acid life saver elements of various diameters and lengths. These elements were assembled as an integral part of the inner core of the annulus. Concentricity was maintained by a tensioning device.The local Sherwood number is found to be significantly affected by the annulus diameter ratio, Reynolds number, and the length to hydraulic diameter ratio. A correlation is developed which predicts 93% of the data used for its development to within ± 10%.

    Notes: An improved free volume theory is presented, and is shown to predict the variation of viscosity with temperature and pressure satisfactorily for liquids composed of simple, nonpolar molecules, when the density is greater than twice the critical value. Allowance is made for the temperature dependence of the minimum free volume for a jump, and for the density dependence of the activation energy at constant volume. Corresponding states relationships are provided for these quantities, the reducing parameters being the temperature and molal volum at the melting point.

    Notes: This paper describes a numerical procedure for optimizing a large set of interconnected systems with respect to a given index of performance. The method automatically constructs the vector differential equation of the complete system from (a) the vector differential equations describing the behavior of the components of the system and (b) the manner of their interconnection. A hill-climbing method is then used to select optimum values of the system's parameters to maximize a given index of performance. An example of the procedure applied to a high order system is included.

    Notes: A finite-difference method is developed for numerical solution of parabolic partial differential equations. This technique is explicit and stable. It is shown that the present method is more accurate and faster, in terms of computer time, than the Crank-Nicholson method. A method of handling nonlinear problems is also presented. Two examples are given to illustrate the present technique. The first problem is a linear diffusion equation. The second problem deals with two simultaneous nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations with Neumann boundary conditions describing the steady state of a packed-bed catalytic reactor with radial mixing.

    Notes: The effects of ultrasonic vibrations on heat transfer to water and methanol by natural convection and by boiling were measured at three ultrasonic energy levels with frequency ranging from 20.6 to 306 kcycles/sec., using electrically heated platinum wires of diameters 0.007 and 0.010 in. Up to an eight-fold increase in heat transfer coefficient was obtained in natural convection, but the effects diminished with increased temperature difference and became negligible in the well-developed nucleate boiling region. High-speed photographs showed that the increase was due to the motion of cavitation bubbles on the wire surface. The heat transfer results were correlated by local cavitation activity values measured by a technique developed for this work.

    Notes: An absolute rate theory based on a plausible model of the activated state, was developed for the interfacial kinetics of crystal growth from the melt. Except for liquid metals the theory predicts the growth rates of pure materials within about an order of magnitude. A microinterferometric technique was employed to observe liquid compositions near the faces of crystals growing from binary melts. For the simple eutectic system composed of salol and thymol, the theory represents the composition and temperature dependence of the growth rate.

    Notes: The onset of secondary motions between rotating concentric cylinders is related to the viscometric normal stress functions for a class of viscoelastic liquids which includes dilute polymer solutions. Both increased and decreased stability relative to a corresponding Newtonian liquid are possible for a given material, depending upon the particular relation between the viscometric functions and the geometric constants of the equipment. This predicted behavior is in agreement with experimental observations.

    Notes: The breakup of a low speed horizontal jet is investigated. Weber's theory for the Newtonian jet is extended to a linear viscoelastic fluid. The theory predicts a dependence of breakup length on the elasticity number. Breakup lengths are measured for low concentration solutions of polyisobutylene in tetralin. Two molecular weights, several concentrations, and five capillary diameters were studied. A single correlation is obtained for all data which gives the breakup length as a function of the elasticity number, and the parameters of Weber's theory. At constant values of the Ohnesorge number and Weber number, the breakup length decreases with increasing elasticity number. The effect of the length of the capillary is studied. At large elasticity numbers short tubes give rise to slightly shorter breakup lengths than long tubes under identical flow conditions.

    Notes: An analysis is performed of the strongly coupled heat and mass transfer processes which result from sublimation of mass from the walls of a duct into a flowing gas, the latent heat being provided solely by convective transfer from the gas. The flow is assumed to be laminar and hydrodynamically developed. Results are given for the streamward variations of the bulk and wall temperatures and mass fractions, of the heat and mass transfer rates, and of the local heat transfer coefficient. Representative temperature and mass fraction profiles are also presented. Entrance lengths characterizing the near approach to fully developed conditions are tabulated. Comparisons are made of the present results (based on a parabolic velocity profile) with those based on a slug flow velocity profile. A subsidiary analysis using the Lévěque model is also performed and the results compared with those of the principal solution.

    Notes: Metal surfaces of titanium, aluminum, copper, lead, and zinc were irradiated by a 25 joules pulsed laser with an energy flux ranging from 106 to 108 cal./(sq.cm.) (sec.). The resulted cavities were sectioned, polished and measured to compare with the isotherms computed from several heat conduction models. Reasonable agreement was found between the experimental cavity diameters at the interface and those calculated from the disk source model. Also, a graphical correlation between the cavity depth and its interface diameter is presented.

    Notes: An expression is derived for the analysis of gas-phase mass transport in porous media in the presence of gradients in pressure and mole fraction. The behavior of porous media is contrasted with that of capillary tubes. A continuous-flow diffusion and permeation apparatus was employed for studies of mass transport in a fritted glass diaphragm. Measurements were obtained at varying levels of pressure and cover both isobaric binary diffusion and the permeation of pure gases and gas mixtures. These experimental results and previous data obtained by Hewitt and Sharratt and by Mason, et al. bear out the form of the equation and successfully provide independent checks of the three constants necessary to characterize a given porous medium.

    Notes: This study concerns rates of evaporation and mass transfer of water vapor from a heated salt solution through a water repellent porous membrane to a cooled water condensate. This transfer is a result of temperature differences and corresponding vapor pressure differences across the membrane. Three groups of experiments were carried out which indicate that the major factor influencing the rates of transfer is diffusion through a stagnant gas in the membrane pores. However, an equation considering film heat transfer coefficients, membrane thermal conductivity, and an empiricial correction based on temperature driving force appears to be necessary for representing all the data. The empirical correction appears to be related to internal condensation and possibly diffusion along surfaces.

    Notes: Analytic equations describing cyclic steady state diffusion in which the diffusivity depends on the direction of transfer, as well as on the system, have been obtained.By imposing the cyclic steady state constraint, of periodically repetitive concentration profiles, simultaneous solution of separate Fick's diffusion equations for the on-off segments of the cycle results in the desired equatins. The method of solution can be extended to more complex diffusion problems, such as coupled diffusion processes. Shallow bed experiments have been performed on particle-diffusion controlled, cyclic steady state ion exchange. Agreement between the predicted and experimental transfer was obtained. Variables and parameters affecting cyclic steady state diffusion are discussed.

    Notes: Numerical solutions of the equations of motion and energy are presented in the form of pressure-loss, flow-rate relationships for the laminar, nonisothermal flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids being heated and cooled in tubes at constant wall temperature. The flow properties are represented by a temperature-dependent form of the power law equation. The numerical results are shown to be in good agreement with experimental data for a wide range of fluid properties and flow conditions.

    Notes: A new theory for convection-free rinsing of flat plates was developed to include the drop dispersal mechanism as well as the previously considered diffusion mechanism. Cases where carryover is unequal to dragout were also included in the model. Based on film distribution data, the model offers better agreement with rinse data. The effect of drain time on film distribution and bottom drop volume was also investigated.

    Notes: Experimental values of the wave length and wave velocity have been obtained for dilute solutions of valeric and hexanoic acid for a vertical falling liquid film. The wave length was unaffected by the surfactants for Reynolds numbers in the range 5 to 100; however, the wave velocity was decreased for increased surface concentrations of the two acids. This is in direct contradiction to previous theoretical work, and the explanation for the anomaly is that the free surface velocity is greatly retarded by the adsorption of the surface active agents. In an effort to determine the extent of this retardation, an approximate form of the diffusion equation and the equations of motion were solved subject to boundary conditions describing the effect of the absorbed surfactant on the surface stress. The results indicate that the entrance length can be increased several orders of magnitude by the addition of small amounts of surfactant.

    Notes: Equations are given that relate the entrance length to Reynolds number for pipe and channel geometries with a flat velocity profile as the initial condition. These equations are linear combinations of the creeping flow and boundary layer solutions. The former is obtained by minimization of the viscous dissipation using the finite element method. The equation for the pipe entrance is shown to be in good agreement with experimental data.

    Notes: Partial removal of dissolved or absorbed solvent from polymers can be accomplished during the process of screw extrusion. This paper shows how two simple transport models based either on an effective diffusivity or on an empirical mass transfer coefficient can be combined with the fluid mechanical equations which describe polymer flow during screw extrusion. In this way, the drying of solvent from a polymer during extrusion can be correlated in terms of the design and operating parameters of the extruder screw and a mass-transfer coefficient or an effective diffusivity. This approach is illustrated employing data obtained by using two extruders of different size and two different solvent-polymer systems. Furthermore, it is pointed out how the results can be used to predict the extent of drying during screw extrusion as well as how modifications in extruder-screw design can permit more extensive drying of polymers during the extrusion process.

When this concept is employed, the resulting equations required to describe packed distillation columns and packed absorbers are identical in form to those required to describe distillation columns and absorbers with plates. Data from the results of two field tests are presented and analyzed.

    Notes: An earlier study on interphase mass transfer in pulsating laminar flow has been extended to the case of a distensible tube. The physical situation studied corresponds to developed flow in a long tube with a traveling pressure wave of small amplitude impressed on the steady flow. The tube wall is free to expand radially. Asymptotic solutions are developed for large and small values of the frequency parameter. The interphase flux is much greater in distensible conduits than in the corresponding case in rigid conduits.

    Notes: The local volume average of the equation of motion is taken for an incompressible fluid flowing through a porous structure under conditions such that inertial effects may be neglected. The result has two terms beyond a pressure gradient: g, the force per unit volume which a flowing fluid exerts on a porous structure, and the divergence of the local volume-averaged extra stress tensor (viscous portion of the stress tensor).Constitutive equations for g are examined with the aid of the principle of material indifference. When g is assumed to be a function of the velocity of the fluid relative to the solid as well as various scalars, the usual results for a nonoriented (isotropic) porous structure are obtained. When g is assumed to be a function of the local porosity gradient as well, we derive a new expression for g applicable to oriented (anisotropic) porous structures.For a Newtonian fluid with a constant viscosity, the divergence of the local volume-averaged extra stress tensor is proportional to the Laplacian of the averaged velocity vector. Boundary conditions for the averaged velocity vector are discussed. Three problems are solved for the flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in a nonoriented permeable medium. These solutions, as well as an order-of-magnitude analysis, suggest that we may often neglect both the Laplacian of average velocity and the boundary conditions for the tangential components of averaged velocity at an impermeable wall.Two specific constitutive equations for g are proposed for the flow of incompressible Noll simple fluids in nonoriented porous structures. Flow through a porous medium bounded by an impermeable cylindrical surface is solved for these two constitutive equations, and the results are compared with previously available experimental data.

    Notes: A dye tracer technique was utilized to measure the residence time distribution of the drops in a spray column, operating with a dispersed or a dense packing of drops, for a wide range of flow rates, in a 15 cm.in diameter, 150 to 160 cm. long column proper.For dispersed packing of drops and for flow rates below the onset of coalescence, the flow of the drops was approximately plug flow, with a variance of the residence time distribution of 0.095. For flow rates above the onset of coalescence within the column, the variance increased sharply to 0.55 and decreased at higher flow rates.For dense packing of drops the variance of the residence time distribution was in the range of 0.1 to 0.5. This variance is attributed to the effect of bypassing water and kerosene near the wall of the column. A mathematical model based on this effect showed reasonable fit with the experimental results. This model predicts an approach to plug flow of the drops for large diameter columns.

    Notes: A sensitivity matrix is defined as a measure of trajectory deviations to small parameter variations of both open and closed loop controlled nonlinear parabolic and first-order hyperbolic systems. In general the parameters may enter through the system equations or the boundary conditions and may be time or spatially dependent. The introduction of a positive measure of the sensitivity, the norm of the sensitivity matrix, into the performance index is shown to be effective in limiting the trajectory deviations due to the parameter variations. The open and closed loop control of a double pipe heat exchanger is analyzed with the open loop problem solved by an approximate procedure. The sensitivity reformulation is successful in reducing trajectory sensitivity, however at the cost of decreased overall performance.

    Notes: Thermodynamic properties pertaining to phase equilibria in the binary-fluid hydrate systems, methylene chloride-water and chloroform-water, and the ternary hydrate system, methylene chloride-chloroform-water, were measured. Total vapor pressure data were recorded as a function of temperature over a range of -3 to + 10°C. Quadruple locus measurements of the ternary four-phase equilibrium, L1-L2-H-G, and isobaric studies of the ternary system chloroform-methylene chloride-water, support the existence of a solid solution hydrate between methylene chloride and chloroform. The addition of the nonhydrate former, hexane, to the methylene chloride-water system lowered the isobaric critical decomposition temperature of the hydrate.

    Notes: The stability of high speed laminar Newtonian jets is studied as a function of ambient air pressure. For Weber numbers less than 5.3 (based on air density) air pressure has no effect on stability. Ambient viscosity, through the effect of shear stresses acting on the jet surface, gives rise to the maximum in the breakup curve. For large Weber numbers ambient pressure effects can alter, and eventually control, the appearance of the maximum.

    Notes: The influence of mass transfer on reaction kinetics, within the porous structure of a catalyst, was investigated during the hydrogenation of benzene. The temperature range for a nickel catalyst at atmospheric pressure was 99 to 160°C. The rate equation and the apparent activation energy on a cylindrical catalyst pellet (4.5 mm. in diameter and 5.5 mm. in height) and on the catalyst particles (0.5 to 0.63 mm. in diameter) were evaluated.The effect of internal diffusion on the dependence of the reaction rate, on the temperature, and on the partial pressures of benzene and hydrogen was satisfactorily explained by means of theoretical relations. The values of the effective diffusion coefficient of benzene were compared by calculating the kinetic data and temperature difference in the cylindrical pellet.

    Notes: Manning, Wolf, and Keairns' model for continuous flow-stirred tank reactors has been extended to include adiabatic as well as isothermal operation. The adiabatic, steady state yield of a continuous flow-stirred tank reactor was measured experimentally using the second-order, homogeneous, exothermic reaction between sodium thiosulfate and hydrogen peroxide. Model predictions of overall tank yield agreed closely with the data, thus verifying the applicability of this model to explain the effects of operating variables such as impeller size, impeller type, agitator speed, feed location, feed concentration, and flow rates.

    Notes: Steady state multiplicity in an adiabatic loop reactor was studied in experiments employing the reaction between sodium thiosulfate and hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution. The steady state characteristics of the loop reactor were predicted by a method which utilized batch reactor data of temperature vs. time directly. The method was based on the assumption of plug flow with negligible axial dispersion and on a single-step chemical kinetic model. Experimental results verify the existence of multiple steady states on ranges of feed flow rates and recycle ratios and demonstrate the capability of the simple model for predicting the qualitative and quantitative features of the reactor steady state.Some observations were made of the effect of large disturbances on the stability of the reactor while operating in a multiple state region. Results for such cases illustrate reactor instability in the sense that a transition to a new steady state takes place provided the disturbance is sufficiently large.

    Notes: Shear stress and first normal stress difference data are presented for several polymer solutions undergoing steady shear rates from 1.0 to 100,000 sec.-1. The steady shear response is divided into three regions as a function of increasing shear rate. These are the diffusion controlled linear region, a moderate shear rate region where shear controls the entanglement-disentanglement process, and a high shear rate region where aggregation of polymer molecules occurs. The transitions between the three regions are clearly illustrated by using a group designated as the rotation rate function.A molecular model is derived for the shear controlled region that allows prediction of the first normal stress difference from the viscosity function and one additional constant that depends only on the molecular species. The White-Metzner equation is found to adequately describe the aggregation region at high shear rates.

    Notes: Gas absorption, pressure drop, liquid holdup, and loading behavior in a packed column have been investigated using packing materials almost geometrically identical but fabricated from three different materials (ceramics, Saran, and polyethylene). For the absorption of oxygen into sodium sulfite solution, observed values of the liquid-side, composite, overall mass transfer coefficient, KLa, were about 25% larger for the ceramic packing than for the polymeric packings. It was also observed that liquid loading occurs more readily in the case of the polymeric packing materials and it appears that the usual type of correlation is inadequate for predicting loading when polymeric packings are employed. In the case of liquid operating holdup no differences were observed from packing to packing. These observations are discussed in terms of the nature of the interaction between liquid and packing surface and it is pointed out how these phenomena may be fundamentally different from those of previous investigations, which relied upon surface-active agents added to the liquid.

    Notes: The structure of thin circular films, formed over a flat water surface during the dissolving (influenced by surface forces) of isobutanol, is examined by performing film thickness and surface velocity measurements. The thicknesses were obtained by light absorption determinations, and the velocities by a stroboscopic method. The film profiles and the dynamic wetting angles obtained differ markedly from those corresponding to a static lens. This is explained by considering the equilibrium between dynamic surface tensions instead of that between static surface tensions.

    Notes: Red blood cell damage and destruction are important problems in the use of artificial valves, heart-lung machines, and other devices which pump or process blood. An experimental study has been made on the mechanism of cell damage. Damage was defined by three types of observations on blood which had been subjected to trauma: (a) release of hemoglobin from cells (hemolysis), (b) morphological changes observed microscopically, and (c) red cell life span studies in rabbits using a Cr51 tagging technique.Three types of physical forces which might be injurious to red cells were studied; shearing stress (of known, constant magnitudes from a concentric cylinder viscometer), pressure variations (from studies in a static pressure cell), and direct impact of solid surfaces (from studies in a device which simulates the seating action of artificial heart valves).The study shows that high shearing stress may be primarily responsible for mechanical cell damage under certain important circumstances. There is a critical shearing stress above which cell damage increases markedly. Much of the cell damage does not appear as an immediate release of hemoglobin. Many cells undergo morphological changes and exhibit shortened average life span in vivo. The morphological changes due to shearing stress are very similar to the changes observed in patients who have hemolytic anemia associated with artificial valves.

    Notes: An experimental and analytical study was made to determine how well the material functions, derived from the Spriggs four-constant viscoelastic model, could describe the rheological properties of polymer melts. Viscosity and elasticity of selected polymer melts were experimentally determined in the rotational and oscillatory modes using a Weissenberg Rheogoniometer. The Spriggs model was chosen for study because of its success in describing experimental data for polymer solutions and because of its uniqueness in combining results from molecular theory with results from the theories associated with continuum mechanics. It was found that the model provides a good description of the rheological data for polymer melts and that some of the model parameters depend upon the molecular characteristics of the polymer. Since this model contains a small number of well defined constants, it should be useful in developing dimensionless engineering correlations for the complex flows encountered in processes of industrial importance. Deviations between the theoretical and experimental results are discussed and deficiencies of the model noted.

    Notes: A generalized approach to reverse osmosis process design is presented for solution-membrane-operating systems characterized by the dimensionless parameters γ, θ, and λ defined in terms of the pure water permeability constant A, solute transport parameter (DAM/Kδ), mass transfer coefficient k on the high pressure side of the membrane, and the properties of the solution. Analytical expressions are derived, in terms of dimensionless quantities, for the change of volume of solution, concentration of the bulk solution and that of the concentrated boundary solution on the high pressure side of the membrane, the change in the permeating velocity of solvent water through the membrane, solute separation, and the other related quantities, at any instance, as a function of concentration of the product solution on the atmospheric pressure side of the membrane, or time from the start of the operation for reverse osmosis systems specified by γ, θ, and λ. The equations are applicable to membranes for which (DAM/Kδ) is independent of solute concentration and feed flow rate, and for aqueous feed solutions whose molar density can be assumed constant and whose osmatic pressure is proportional to mole fraction. The equations are developed first for the case of batch-by-batch operation, and their applicability to the flow case is then indicated.
