The author refers to the experiments of Faraday on dielectric induction, to those of Gassiot on the increase of electrical effects of tension, according as the chemical intensities of a voltaic battery are increased, and to other results, which, though supporting the view of a physico-polar state of gaseous substances intervening between oppositely electrified surfaces, have not hitherto shown any change in the arrangement of the gaseous particles dependent upon their chemical characteristics. The electric or voltaic disruptive discharge has hitherto presented only one phenomenon which offers any analogy to electrolysis, viz. that observed by Mr. Gassiot and others, of the positive terminal being more intensely heated than the negative, when the voltaic discharge passes between metals.

Contrast with conventional dielectric tunable materials such as barium strontium titanate (BST), here, we report one new dielectric tunable behavior for Sr 1-x Pr x TiO 3 system at low temperature. Giant dielectric tunability is confirmed in this system. More importantly, the efficient dielectric tunability can be realized just using small bias field. In addition, critical threshold electric field is also confirmed. This phenomenon may be related with the competition interaction of polar state with quantum fluctuations.

The synthesis of several compounds related to ADMA are described in detail. These compounds are characterized by their mass, NMR, and IR-spectra. In addition, the solvent dependent shift of the fluorescence as well as the effect of an electric field on the fluorescence have been measured. The results are in agreement with a two-state model assuming the simultaneous fluorescence from a weakly polar and a highly polar state with dipole moment μ. μ2/a3 (a is Onsager’s radius) has been determined from both effects. The results are in good agreement with an excited state dipole moment of about 60 • 10-30Cm, in the polar state.

Cell polarity is the asymmetric organization of cellular components along defined axes. A key requirement for polarization is the ability of the cell to break symmetry and achieve a spatially biased organization. Despite different triggering cues in various systems, symmetry breaking (SB) usually relies on mechanochemical modulation of the actin cytoskeleton, which allows for advected movement and reorganization of cellular components. Here, the mechanisms underlying SB in Caenorhabditis elegans zygote, one of the most popular models to study cell polarity, are reviewed. A zygote initiates SB through the centrosome, which modulates mechanics of the cell cortex to establish advective flow of cortical proteins including the actin cytoskeleton and partitioning defective (PAR) proteins. The chemical signaling underlying centrosomal control of the Aurora A kinase–mediated cascade to convert the organization of the contractile actomyosin network from an apolar to polar state is also discussed.
