The development of the basidiocarp of Calocera cornea in the natural and cultural environments is described. The structural unit is a narrow, unmodified hypha with the capacity for pigment and gel formation. In the basidiocarp the hyphae become organized into a central zone of compact, parallel hyphae, a median zone of interwoven hyphae with numerous spaces containing gelatinous material, and an outer zone composed of bifurcate basidia each bearing two basidiospores.Primordia and basidiocarps show rapid growth with marked sensitivity to relative humidity and sporulation frequently takes place before basidiocarp development is complete. Short periods of rapid growth alternate with long periods of inactivity during which the formation of fungal gel and carotenoid pigments probably aids in survival.

In order to study the characteristics of indoor thermal environment in the airport terminal in Tibet Plateau with radiant floor heating in winter, a field measurement of the indoor thermal environment was conducted in Lhasa Gonggar Airport terminal 2. First, the unique climate characteristics in Tibet Plateau were analyzed through comparison of meteorological parameters in Beijing and Lahsa. The thermal environment in the terminal was divided into outer zone and inner zone as well as south zone and north zone. Thermal environment parameters including air temperature, black globe temperature, relative humidity in each zone, and inner surface temperature of envelope were measured and analyzed. Meanwhile, temperature and relative humidity in the vertical direction were measured. In addition, PMV and PPD were calculated for evaluating the thermal environment in the terminal. The findings can provide guidance for the design and regulation of thermal environment in terminals in Tibet Plateau in China.

AbstractGarnet porphyroblasts in metasediments from Magerøy crystallized during static metamorphism. They display three optical zones, each having characteristic inclusions and chemistry. The compositional zoning is related to prograde metamorphism (an inner zone, 1, and a graphite-bearing zone) and retrogression (the outer zone, 2). Inclusions of two types are present in zone 1: type 1 are equidimensional remnants of the matrix, preferentially included along planes of rapid growth; type 2 are tubular and represent recrystallized quartz grains concentrated along defects in the garnet lattice. The defects are lineage boundaries between growth segments related to screw dislocations on crystal faces. Crystal growth developed at relatively high degrees of supersaturation, but below the supersaturation required for the development of dendrites. The inclusions suggest rapid growth of zone 1, caused by heat flow from an adjacent interkinematic mafic/ultramafic intrusive complex. The graphite-bearing zone crystallized at the metamorphic peak, while the inclusion-free idioblasfic rim probably developed during retrograde metamorphism.

Periaxonal Space

The myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a heavily glycosylated integral membrane glycoprotein which is a minor component of isolated rat peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin. Immunocytochemically MAG has been localized in the periaxonal region of PNS myelin sheaths. The periaxonal localization and biochemical features of MAG are consistent with the hypothesis that MAG plays a role in maintaining the periaxonal space of myelinated fibers. To test this hypothesis, MAG was localized immunocytochemically in 1-micron sections of the L5 ventral root from rats exposed to B,B'-iminodipropionitrile. In chronic states of B,B'-iminodipropionitrile intoxication, Schwann cell periaxonal membranes and the axolemma invaginate into giant axonal swellings and separate a central zone of normally oriented axoplasm from an outer zone of maloriented neurofilaments. Ultrastructurally, the width of the periaxonal space (12-14 nm) in the ingrowths is identical to that found in normally myelinated fibers. These Schwann cell ingrowths which are separated from compact myelin by several micra are stained intensely by MAG antiserum. Antiserum directed against Po protein, the major structural protein of compact PNS myelin, does not stain the ingrowths unless compact myelin is present. These results demonstrate the periaxonal localization of MAG and support a functional role for MAG in maintaining the periaxonal space of PNS myelinated fibers.

Uniform Injection

The boundary-layer equations for an incompressible fluid in motion past a flat plate are examined, numerically and analytically, in the special case when the pressure gradient vanishes and there is a uniform injection of fluid from the plate. In the numerical study the principal properties of the boundary layer are computed as far as separation ( x ═ x δ ≑ 0.7456) with a high degree of accuracy. In the analytic study the structure of the singularity at separation is determined. It is of a new kind in boundary layer theory and its elucidation requires the division of the boundary layer into three zones—an outer zone in which the non-dimensional velocity u is much larger than x * (the non-dimensional distance from separation), a central zone in which u ~ x * and an inner zone in which u ≪ x *. A match is effected between solutions in the central and inner zones from which it is inferred that the skin friction τ 0 ~ ( x * / In (1/ x *) 2 as x * → 0. A completely satisfactory agreement between the numerical and analytic studies was not possible. The reason is that the analytic study is only valid when ln ( 1 / x *) ≫ 1 which means that for the analytic and numerical studies to have a common region of validity, the numerical integration must be extended to much smaller values of x * than is possible at present. It was also not possible to effect a match between the central and outer zones in the analytic solution due to the difficulty of finding the properties of the stress τ in the central zone as u / x * →∞.

Kinetic Treatment

Abstract Reaction mechanisms whereby cross-linked and branched polymer structures may be formed during the polymerization of dienes are discussed. A kinetic treatment of the formation of cross-linkages via the occasional addition of a free radical to the unsaturated carbon of a structural unit of a previously polymerized molecule is presented. It is pointed out that the rate of this addition step relative to monomer addition can be deduced from the average chain length and the conversion at which gelation occurs. Cross-linkages introduced by the mechanism under consideration are not distributed at random, but the deviations from a random distribution are unimportant except at high conversions. Conditions are examined under which the cross-linking reaction decreases the total number of molecules more rapidly than they are formed. Physical properties of polymers (with particular emphasis on vulcanized rubbers) are most conveniently interpreted in terms of (1) the primary molecular weight (i.e., molecular weight in the absence of cross-linkages) and its distribution, and (2) the concentration of cross-linkages. The actual molecular-weight distribution, which may be severely distorted by the presence of cross-linkages, is inappropriate for direct correlation with the more important physical properties. The modifiers or regulators commonly employed in diene polymerizations suppress gel formation by reducing the primary molecular weight; they do not actually reduce cross-linking. This reduction in molecular weight is not without other undesired consequences, however.

AbstractEuhedral crystals of complexly zoned niobian titanite (up to 0.3 mm) are enclosed in hedenbergite (Hd53—81Di15—43Jh3-5) and quartz from a hedenbergite vein skarn at Kamenne doly near Pisek, Czech Republic. They are associated with minor clinozoisite-epidote (Ps3—22), calcite, plagioclase (An95). scapolite (Me80—82), scheelite, pyrrhotite, fluorapatite, arsenopyrite, native bismuth and Bi,Te-minerals. The following textural and compositional subtypes were recognized: (I) Nb-rich titanite, (II) Nb-moderate titanite in the central zone, (III) Nb-poor, Sn-enriched titanite and (IV) Nb-poor, Al,F-rich titanite in the outer zone. The substitution Al(Nb,Ta)Ti—2 is dominant in subtypes I and II, the titanite subtype I being characterized by elevated contents of Al ≤ 0.257 atoms per formula unit (a.p.f.u.), Nb (≤ 0.161 a.p.f.u.) and Ta (≤ 0.037 a.p.f.u.). Amounts of Al, Nb and Ta in subtype II are smaller and more variable. The minor substitution SnTi—1 occurs chiefly in titanite subtype III with a content of Sn ≤ 0.039 a.p.f.u.. The substitution Al(F,OH)(TiO)_i is typical for titanite subtype IV exhibiting elevated contents of Al (s£ 0.221 a.p.f.u.), F (≤ 0.196 a.p.f.u.) and Fe (≤ 0.039 a.p.f.u.).The negative relationship of substitutions Al(F,OH)(TiO)_i vs. SnTi—1 and Al(Nb,Ta)Ti—1 is constrained chiefly by crystal structure rather than by the composition of parent medium alone. Textural relations suggest that the Nb-moderate titanite in the core zone and entire outer zone are products of fluids-induced dissolution-reprecipitation processes. The studied niobian titanite represents a new F-enriched type from a medium-grade, calc-silicate rock.

Ultramafic Complex

The Turnagain ultramafic complex is an Alaskan-type complex of possible Late Triassic age. It has a central zone of dunite and an outer zone of wehrlite, olivine clinopyroxenite, clinopyroxenite, dunite, hornblendite (rare), and basic hornblende and plagioclase-bearing rock (rare). The complex is largely fault-bounded. The central dunite intrudes the pyroxene-bearing rocks in one area; elsewhere the two zones are gradational. Small-scale layering occurs locally, and is most common in the outer zone. Layering dips steeply due to folding during regional deformation. The ultramafic rocks are generally only partly serpentinized, and consist largely of olivine, clinopyroxene, pargasite, phlogopite, and chrome spinel. The outer zone contains sporadic concentrations of iron–nickel–copper sulfides. Olivine is most magnesian (Fo94.9) in the central dunite, and most iron-rich (Fo80.2) in olivine clinopyroxenite. Clinopyroxene is diopside and follows an iron-enrichment trend. Minor-element contents of minerals indicate that crystallization caused magmatic impoverishment in Ni and Cr, and enrichment in Ti and Al. The primitive Turnagain magma was probably ultrabasic, extremely magnesian, and poor in Al and Ti. Differentiation followed an alkalic trend, possibly at relatively low oxygen fugacity compared to other Alaskan-type complexes. The complex may have formed in a subvolcanic magma chamber, and thus be related to nearby Upper Triassic volcanic rocks.

The quality of the high-carbon rod is determined by mechanical properties, which depend on microstructure characteristics, in particular the perlite grain grade. The existing technique for determining the perlite dispersion has the main drawback - the subjectivity of choosing the five worst view fields for evaluation, which reduces the accuracy of the determination results. The article presents the results of a study aimed at increasing the objectivity and accuracy of the evaluation of high-carbon wire rod perlite grain grade. An improved technique for determining the high-carbon wire rod perlite grain grade – Pgg with five view fields is proposed. The cross-section of the rod sample is considered as an inhomogeneous area from the perlite dispersion point of view, which is divided into three annular zones with different levels of perlite dispersion. Selection of five view fields is carried out as follows: one from the center of the central zone, two fields in the second - an intermediate zone and two fields in the outer zone. Statistical analysis of the experimental data showed that all view fields should be located on the same diagonal. The location of the view fields is fixed and is unchangeable for all samples under study. The technique described in the article is an effective tool for analyzing the structure of high-carbon steel wire rod.

Deformation Homogeneity

A new concept of the cross-channel extrusion (CCE) process under back pressure (BP) was proposed and tested experimentally. The obtained by finite element method (FEM) results showed that a triaxial compression occurred in the central zone, whereas the material was deformed by shearing in the outer zone. This led to the presence of a relatively uniformly deformed outer zone at 1 per pass and a strong deformation of the paraxial zone (3–5/pass). An increase in the BP did not substantially affect the accumulated strain but made it more uniform. The FEM results were verified using the physical modeling technique (PMT) by the extrusion of clay billet. The formation of the plane of the strongly flattened, and elongated grains were observed in the extrusion directions. With the increase in the number of passes, the shape of the resulting patterns expanded, indicating an increase in the deformation homogeneity. Finally, these investigations were verified experimentally for Fe-22Al-5Cr (at. %) alloy using of the purposely designed tooling. The effect of the CCE process is the fragmentation of the original material structure by dividing the primary grains. The complexity of the stress state leads to the rapid growth of microshear bands (MSB), grain defragmentation and the nucleation of new dynamically recrystallized grains about 200–400 nm size.

Colonies of the perennial Hieracium floribundum Wimm. and Grab, had four zones, identified by the density of the rosettes. Belts of sod were analyzed to determine the characteristics of these zones in a pasture which had not been grazed for 5 years. The advancing outer zone consisted of widely spaced rosettes that were less than 2 years old. These rosettes had short rhizomes and large leaves, reproduced by stolons, and flowered abundantly, producing numerous heads per inflorescence. In the central zone, which had the highest density, the rosettes were more than 2 years old, had long rhizomes and small leaves, and did not flower. Seedling numbers were insignificant in all zones. In this species stolons are produced only on plants that have flowered. At high densities curtailment of population growth resulted from reduced flower production and the number of associated stolons initiated per flowering plant.
