Sodium Exchange

Oocytes of Rana pipiens were incubated in 22Na-Ringer's solution and 22Na-23Na exchange in the nucleus and cytoplasm followed by low-temperature microdissection. Cytoplasmic sodium consists of 2 kinetic fractions: the larger (88%) slowly exchanging (t½ ∼ 2 days), and the smaller (12%) rapidly exchanging (t½ ∼ 53 min). Nuclear sodium consists of a single fraction whose concentration is similar and whose rate constant is identical with that of the rapidly exchanging cytoplasmic fraction. Our findings are consistent with a model of compartmentalization in which rapidly exchanging sodium is nearly uniformly distributed in the water of the nucleus and cytoplasm and its exchange limited by movement through the cell surface. On the other hand, slowly exchanging sodium is restricted to the cytoplasm, sorbed to or sequestered in some as yet unidentified cytoplasmic constituent.

The behavior of energy in bulk-matter systems is subtle. We observe that energy flows spontaneously from high to low temperature; we refer to this flowing energy as heat; and we distinguish heat from work, the transfer of energy through mechanical or other means unrelated to temperature. On the other hand, simple models of gases and solids strongly suggest that at the molecular level all energy is purely mechanical. This introductory chapter surveys these basic concepts of thermal physics, illustrates them with a wide variety of familiar examples, and sets the stage for developing a deeper understanding.

Alumina Suspensions

The effects of solid volume fraction (SVF) on the gelation of alumina suspensions for gelcasting, debonding and sintering of the green body were studied. It was found that with SVF rising, the gelation of alumina suspension delayed; and the strength of green body decreased. On the other hand, high SVF resulted in that polymerized acrylamide split at a relative low temperature. These phenomena manifest that the fast polymerization of monomers in high SVF alumina suspension was inhibited, and the flexibility of the gelcasting was improved. However, Excessive solid volume fraction was prone to a bad rheological behavior of alumina suspension, and deteriorated the microstructure and properties of sintered body.

Chromosome 1B in 'Rosner' and chromosome 6B in line 125 both reduced the frequency with which chromosomes were paired at first meiotic metaphase of hexaploid triticale. On the other hand, chromosome 6B in 'Rosner' and chromosomes 1B and 6B in line 110 had no such effect. The 1B pairing suppressor in 'Rosner' was located on the short arm of the chromosome (1Bs). Between 10 and 30 °C, pairing frequency was quite stable in 'Rosner' triticale in comparison with common wheat, although the level was consistently lower in the triticale. Some reduction of pairing frequency was noted at 10 °C in 'Rosner'. This effect of low temperature did not interact with 1B dosage to cause a disproportionate decrease in pairing frequency when plants with high 1B dosage were grown at 10 °C.

Stabilization of high Li ion conductive cubic Li7La3Zr2O[Formula: see text] (LLZ) by Ge substitution in air, N2/O2 and N2 atmospheres are studied by high temperature XRD (HT-XRD) of Ge-added tetragonal LLZ (Ge-LLZ). A formation of low temperature cubic phase caused by CO2 absorption during storage of the Ge-LLZ is observed at about 160[Formula: see text]C in all atmospheres. Additionally, impurity formation of La2Zr2O7 and La2O3 also occurs in all atmospheres. On the other hand, stabilization of cubic phase by substitution of Ge is largely influenced by the atmosphere. The cubic phase is observed at 40[Formula: see text]C after heating Ge-LLZ to 700[Formula: see text]C in air while only tetragonal phase appeared after heating in N2/O2. It is concluded that the heating atmosphere largely influences substitution of Ge, resulting in stabilization of the high Li ion conductive cubic phase.

In order to understand the influence of the Cl/Si ratio on the morphology of the low-temperature chloro-carbon epitaxial growth, HCl was added during the SiCl4/CH3Cl growth at 1300°C. Use of higher Cl/Si ratio allowed only modest improvements of the growth rate without morphology degradation, which did not go far beyond what has been achieved previously by optimizing the value of the input C/Si ratio. On the other hand, when the epitaxial growth process operated at too low or too high values of the input C/Si ratio, i.e., outside of the window of good epilayer morphology, any additional increase of the Cl/Si ratio caused improvement of the epilayer morphology. It was established that this improvement was due to a change of the effective C/Si ratio towards its intermediate values, which corresponded to more favorable growth conditions.

The mullite phase has been synthesized by subjecting a suitably chosen precursor gel to different pressure and temperature conditions. At ambient pressure mullite phase grows at a temperature of 1400 °C when the gel is heated for 2 h. At a pressure of 24 bar, on the other hand, similar growth occurs at a temperature of 750 °C for 5 min.

The structure of the title complex, [Pb(NO3)(C5H11NO2)2(H2O)2]NO3, had been determined previously at 173 and 193 K, and is now reported at 296 K, in the same space group. The main difference with the low-temperature structures is that a methyl group of one valine ligand is clearly disordered over two positions, for which the occupancies converged to 0.56 (3) and 0.44 (3). Bond-length variations within the coordination sphere of PbIIas a function ofTare difficult to assess because uncertainties on these parameters are high. On the other hand, Pb...O distances above 2.9 Å cannot be assigned unambiguously to formal Pb—O bonds. As a consequence, the polymeric nature of the complex previously described at 173 K is uncertain, as well as the actual coordination number of PbII, and it is thus not possible to determine if the metal environment is holo- or hemidirected.

Substituted benzotriazoles (Bt) have been shown to bring about interesting inhibitory effects on Rana pipiens embryos of 2-cell to tail-bud stages (Liedke, Engelman, & Graff, 1954, 1955, 1957a, 1957b). These benzotriazoles did not have selective cytotoxic effects on sensitive embryonic structures as similarly substituted benzimidazoles (Bz) and quinoxalines (Q) invariably did. The latter compounds, Bz and Q, were most active against younger stages, especially those in cleavage. On the other hand, it was found that the susceptibility to the benzotriazoles increased with age of embryo; more differentiated stages were affected most. The type of response was determined by the parent structure, but certain substituents, the nitro group in particular, appeared to enhance the magnitude of the effect. The activating effect of the nitro group was in turn modified to varying degree by an accompanying methoxy, hydroxy, or amino group.

Iron Based Catalysts

A series of iminopyridyl-based ligands, 6-[(Ar)N=C(R)]-2-C6H5N [(Ar = 2,6-Me2-C6H3, R = Me (L1); Ar = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3, R = Me (L2); Ar = 2,6-Me2-C6H3, R = H (L3); Ar = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3, R = H (L4); Ar = 3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3, R = Me (L5); Ar = C6F5, R = Me (L6)], and their corresponding iron (II) complexes were developed to investigate their application in the controlled coordinative polymerization of isoprene. The modulation of steric and electronic properties within this family of ligands/pre-catalysts has shown to influence the stereo-selectivity and activity of the polymerization of isoprene after activation. Upon activation with various co-catalysts such as AliBu3/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4], AlEt3/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] or MAO, the resulting catalysts produced polyisoprenes with an excellent conversion (>99% of 500–5000 equiv.) within less than 1 h (TOF > 500 h−1) and having a variety of stereo-/regio-regularities. The presence of electron-donating and withdrawing groups drastically impacted the activity and the stereoselectivity of the catalysts during the course of the polymerization of isoprene. When activated with AliBu3/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4], the complexes {6-[(2,6-Me2-C6H3)N=C(Me)]-2-C6H5N}FeCl2 (C1) and {6-[(2,6-iPr2-C6H3)N=C(Me)]-2-C6H5N}FeCl2 (C2) exhibited moderate trans-1,4 selectivity (>67%) while the iron-based systems bearing related aldiminopyridyl ligands {6-[(2,6-Me2-C6H3)N=C(H)]-2-C6H5N}FeCl2 (C3) and {6-[(2,6-iPr2-C6H3)N=C(H)]-2-C6H5N}FeCl2 (C4) were found to afford significant cis-1,4 selectivity at low temperature (>86% at −40 °C). On the other hand, the ternary {6-[(3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3)N=C(Me)]-2-C6H5N}FeCl2 (C5) or {6-[(C6F5)N=C(Me)]-2-C6H5N}FeCl2 (C6)/AliBu3/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] catalytic combinations showed exceptional activity for the polymerization of isoprene (TOF > 1,000,000 h−1), albeit providing less stereoselectivity.

Inhibitor Level

The germination of Datura ferox seeds is blocked immediately after ripeness by an inhibitor. The decoating of the seeds and certain storage conditions promote germination by favoring the diffusion of the inhibitor or its destruction.Seeds in which the germination blockage due to the inhibitor had been overcome behave as photoblastically positive, responding to the R–FR mechanism. During afterripening, the capacity of the skotomechanism increases as the inhibitor level decreases. The skotomechanism blockage does not disappear with low temperature or with alternating temperatures. On the other hand, high temperature reimposes this blockage.Gibberellic acid replaces the effect of red light, whereas thiourea is not effective.It is postulated, on the basis of the results obtained with this species, and the results of other authors, that the quantity of an oxidation product present, resulting from metabolic processes during storage or the action of red light, controls both germination and the possibility of germination being produced in conditions of light or darkness.
