Abstract At the present time there is a multitude of data indicating that when polystyrene, natural rubber, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose, starch, proteins and other high molecular weight compounds are mechanically ground up, a degradation of the polymeric chains is observed. The mechanical scission of macromolecules during grinding in a colloid or ball mill, or when they are broken down on mill rolls, proceeds most rapidly at temperatures below the range of the viscous-fluid state, since under these conditions the forces of intermolecular interaction are considerably greater than the strength of the covalent bond. However, the mechanical destruction of macromolecules is also possible through certain mechanical effects acting on solutions of polymers. Thus, for instance, the force of friction generated in the flow of a 0.05% solution of polystyrene (Mcp=6×105) in tetralin through a platinum capillary is due to the scission of macromolecules, which brings about a 30% decrease in the specific viscosity. The significant gradients in the rate and in the forces of friction and cavitation developed in polymer solution through the action of ultrasonic waves with frequencies of the order of 200–300 kilocycles/sec. are due to the mechanical scission of macromolecules of polystyrene, rubber, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose and a number of other high molecular weight compounds.

ABSTRACT So far attenuation of pathogens has been mainly obtained by chemical or heat treatment of microbial pathogens. Recently, live attenuated strains have been produced by genetic modification. We have previously demonstrated that in several prokaryotes as well as in yeasts and mammalian cells the heat shock response is controlled by the membrane physical state (MPS). We have also shown that in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 (Salmonella Typhimurium) overexpression of a Δ12-desaturase gene alters the MPS, inducing a sharp impairment of transcription of major heat shock genes and failure of the pathogen to grow inside macrophage (MΦ) (A. Porta et al., J. Bacteriol. 192:1988-1998, 2010). Here, we show that overexpression of a homologous Δ9-desaturase sequence in the highly virulent G217B strain of the human fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum causes loss of its ability to survive and persist within murine MΦ along with the impairment of the heat shock response. When the attenuated strain of H. capsulatum was injected in a mouse model of infection, it did not cause disease. Further, treated mice were protected when challenged with the virulent fungal parental strain. Attenuation of virulence in MΦ of two evolutionarily distant pathogens was obtained by genetic modification of the MPS, suggesting that this is a new method that may be used to produce attenuation or loss of virulence in both other intracellular prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens. This new procedure to generate attenuated forms of pathogens may be used eventually to produce a novel class of vaccines based on the genetic manipulation of a pathogen's membrane fluid state and stress response.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids change their physical properties when subjected to a magnetic field. As this change occurs, the specific values of the physical properties are a function of the fluid’s time-varying organization state. This results in a nonlinear, hysteretic, time-varying fluid property response to direct magnetic field excitation. Permeability, resistivity and permittivity changes of MR fluid were investigated and their suitability to indicate the organizational state of the fluid, and thus other transport properties, was determined. High sensitivity of permittivity and resistivity to particle organization and applied field was studied experimentally. The measurable effect of these material properties can be used to implement an MR fluid state sensor.

For many years composite minor intrusions, both sills and dykes, have been known from various parts of the world and most petrologists must have speculated as to the probable effect produced in the event of such composite intrusions having reached the surface in the form of an effusion. For obvious reasons it has not been found possible to trace a composite dyke upwards into a lava flow. However, during the revision of 1 inch Sheet 30 (Renfrewshire) for the Geological Survey, the author encountered, in the neighbourhood of Inverkip, a small village on the Firth of Clyde south of Greenock, certain peculiar lava flows which are believed to represent the effusive equivalents of composite minor intrusions. These “composite lavas”, which form the main subject of the present paper, are of Lower Carboniferous age (Calciferous Sandstone Series) and occur interbedded among the more normal flows towards the base of the volcanic group. Two distinct rock varieties, one highly porphyritic, with large phenocrysts (up to 1·5 cms. long) of basic plagioclase, and the other non-porphyritic, are associated within the same flow. The porphyritic type always forms the upper part of the flow and overlies the non-porphyritic; the junction shows unmistakable evidence that both were in a fluid state along their mutual contact at the time of emplacement.

Li was analysed by instrumental neutron activation analysis and Cerenkov counting in 120 mineral samples (30 species) from the Ilfmaussaq alkaline intrusion, South Greenland. More than 0.23 wt.% Li (0.5 wt.% Li2O) is found in polylithionite, neptunite, riebeckite, Na-cookeite, ephesite, arfvedsonite, gerasimovskite and astro­phyllite. Arfvedsonite (200-2500 ppm Li) carries the bulk of Li in most of the highly alkaline rocks. Li-Mg and Li-F relations indicate that the distribution of Li is con­trolled by the structure of minerals, their absolute contents of Mg and F and the fractionation stage within the intrusion. Li is probably linked with Fin the fluid state and this linkage continues into crystallising phases where Li occupies sites which also accommodate Mg. Li/Mg and Li/F ratios of Ilfmaussaq rocks and minerals are higher than in equivalent materials from the Lovozero intrusion (Kola, Russia). The Li­Mg-Fe2+ geochemical association at Ilfmaussaq (Fe2+>>Mg) and Lovozero (Fe2+>Mg) contrasts with the commercially important Li-rich but Mg-Fe2+-poor association found in certain granite pegmatites and greisenised granites.
