The osmotic water permeability of human red cells has been reexamined with a stopped-flow device and a new perturbation technique. Small osmotic gradients are used to minimize the systematic error caused by nonlinearities in the relationship between cell volume and light scattering. Corrections are then made for residual systematic error. Our results show that the hydraulic conductivity, Lp, is essentially independent of the direction of water flow and of osmolality in the range 184-365 mosM. the mean value of Lp obtained obtained was 1.8 +/- 0.1 (SEM) X 10-11 cm3 dyne -1 s-1.

We present preliminary results on a new perturbation technique that combines the fundamental elements of the methods of equivalent linearization and first-order averaging. The importance of this procedure is derived from the fact that it can be applied to ODE’s having oscillatory solutions, but for which no harmonic oscillator limiting equation exists. The procedure is illustrated by showing how it can be used to calculate analytical approximations to two nonlinear ODE’s. Comparison with the corresponding accurate numerical solutions is also given. The work presented here was supported in part by research grants from DOE and the MBRS-SCORE Program at Clark Atlanta University.
