levels. In joints with simulated acute effusion the effect of position on IAP was dependent upon the volume of fluid in the joint. The results indicate that dynamic pressure levels in the moving knee are related to the movements of the joint. The characteristic and reproducible patterns of pressure may reflect changes in the structural configuration of the joint capsule and surrounding tissues during movement, and are influenced by the amount of fluid in the joint.

Technical Rules

During a scientific research, directed to understand the structural role of some particular masonry elements, noticeable in covering structures like vault and dome, we searched the technical rules and function of these elements. We verified that in literature there is no specific documentation about these elements and its mechanic purposes. The study was directed to recognize the most representatives architectures in different ages, and to identify the construction technique’s evolution process of this particular arc-double or thickening of arc that we arrived to identify as a necessary building component to give balance in particular structural configuration. This process put down roots from the roman ancient age, until baroque age, where the most original applications of this regulation were placed. From Pantheon to the limit case of St. Filippo Neri chapel, the covers’ structures springer angle studied was analyzed together with its relation to plan, sections and elevation of all buildings. Therefore, if these elements are well-performed, they follow precise constructive patterns that this article would like to identify and show.

Great Complexity

Abstract In recent years the spectrum of applications for thermoplastics has experienced constant growth. They do not only exhibit good specific materials properties and lend themselves to costeffective processing, but it is also possible to manufacture products of great complexity. Numerous possibilities for structural configuration are thus presented, enabling product material and form to be adapted to specific requirements. Computer-aided simulation techniques are among the tools utilized in developing optimal components or products. This led to a design system which can accelerate the entire development process of a product or component. It starts from the idea and results in the production stage making use of multidisciplinary combination of C-technologies, structural analysis procedures, material data bases, production, inspection and testing. The propagated concept is significantly furthered by the rapid development in the areas of hardware and software. A comparison of a traditional development process with the development process utilizing the design system illustrates the possibilities which exist to exploit simulation thechniques in every stage of product development in order to enhance quality and reduce costs.

Immune Precipitation

Inhibition of immune precipitation with oligosaccharides obtained from Candida stellatoidea mannan has been used to provide more information about the haptenic groups of this serologically active polysaccharide. The oligosaccharides di-, tri-, tetra-, and a mixture of penta- and hexasaccharides were studied. The inhibitory activity of these materials was tested with two immune sera. With one serum, 0.8 μmole of the mixture of penta- and hexasaccharides inhibited the reaction by 87%, and, with the other serum, 0.4 μmole of the mixture inhibited the reaction by 99%. Monosaccharides were also tested with each antiserum and found to be noninhibitory. It is apparent that the mixture of oligosaccharides containing 5 to 6 mannose units was the most effective inhibitor. Since it is known that these oligosaccharides contain a predominance of α 1-2 linkages and lesser numbers of α 1-3 linkages, it is likely that these are important in the structural configuration of the antigenic determinants.

Tremor Analysis

A volcano can be seen as a dynamical system, the number of state variables being its dimension N. The state is usually confined on a manifold with a lower dimension f, manifold which is characteristic of a persistent «structural configuration». A change in this manifold may be a hint that something is happening to the dynamics of the volcano, possibly leading to a paroxysmal phase. In this work the original state space of the volcano dynamical system is substituted by a pseudo state space reconstructed by the method of time-delayed coordinates, with suitably chosen lag time and embedding dimension, from experimental time series of seismic activity, i.e. volcanic tremor recorded at Stromboli volcano. The monitoring is done by a neural network which first learns the dynamics of the persistent tremor and then tries to detect structural changes in its behaviour.

This paper reviews the design development of a 985' high free-standing communications tower recently constructed in San Francisco. Included is a description of the structural configuration of the
 tower and the criteria by which it was designed. The dynamic characteristics of a three-dimensional linear elastic mathematical computer model, devised to represent the physical structure, are presented. The dynamic response of this computer model to various levels of
ground shaking, including both horizontal and vertical excitations,
 are summarized, evaluated and compared to the seismic force levels prescribed by the 1969 edition of the San Francisco Building Code.
 Also included in the comparison are the responses derived for the tower from wind tunnel studies and static wind design criteria.
