Modern requirements to the operational parameters of pre-start thermostating systems require a new approach to their creation or upgrading. Therefore, there is a need to consider the possibilities of using the combined power generation in pre-start thermostating systems. Launch vehicles include the equipment that requires certain temperature conditions for operation, which modifies its characteristics and disrupts normal functioning. The temperature also determines the characteristics of onboard power supplies, the reliability of the engine units and pre-start thermostating systems. For the normal functioning of pre-start thermostating systems, it is necessary to supply various combinations of power for the spacecraft. The recent open access publications were considered, including the combined types of power generation in pre-start thermostating systems. The thermostating systems of spacecrafts should have several sources of power, i.e. the combined power generation in pre-start thermostating systems has not been considered yet. The examination of the possibilities of using the combined power generation in pre-start thermostating systems. The thermostatic systems for performing the functions of pre-start thermostating systems are to have several sources of energy that will increase the reliability of their operation. Energy can also be supplied from an external source, which is essential for pre-start thermostating systems, especially in launch units. The possibilities of using the combined power generation in pre-start thermostating systems are considered, providing the reliability increase of their functioning. The application of mechanical, thermal, electrochemical and solar power plants, as well as the use of nuclear isotope and reactor power plants is suggested

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

A high-voltage terminal has been constructed for housing the various power supplies and metering circuits required by the field-emission gun (described elsewhere in these Proceedings) for the high-coherence microscope. The terminal is cylindrical in shape having a diameter of 14 inches and a length of 24 inches. It is completely enclosed by an aluminum housing filled with Freon-12 gas at essentially atmospheric pressure. The potential of the terminal relative to ground is, of course, equal to the accelerating potential of the microscope, which in the present case, is 150 kilovolts maximum.

Immunoelectron microscopy of neoplastic lymphoma cells is valuable for precise localization of surface antigens and identification of cell types. We have developed a new approach in which the immunohistochemical staining can be evaluated prior to embedding for EM and desired area subsequently selected for ultrathin sectioning.A freshly prepared lymphoma cell suspension is spun onto polylysine hydrobromide- coated glass slides by cytocentrifugation and immediately fixed without air drying in polylysine paraformaldehyde (PLP) fixative. After rinsing in PBS, slides are stained by a 3-step immunoperoxidase method. Cell monolayer is then fixed in buffered 3% glutaraldehyde prior to DAB reaction. After the DAB reaction step, wet monolayers can be examined under LM for presence of brown reaction product and selected monolayers then processed by routine methods for EM and embedded with the Chien Re-embedding Mold. After the polymerization, the epoxy blocks are easily separated from the glass slides by heatingon a 100°C hot plate for 20 seconds.
