The secondary (metachronous) component of magnetization isolated in the Precambrian complexes of the Karelian craton have been analyzed. The mean directions of high temperature components (deviations from the true direction) depending on the contribution of secondary magnetization components resulting from uneven-aged tectono-magmatic events. It has been shown that the Precambrian key poles often coincide with the vector sum of the ages of Phanerozoic component of magnetization. The conclusion about the primary/secondary origin of the Precambrian paleomagnetic poles must be set on the basis of the integrated petro-paleomagnetic and isotopic data and geological correlations, not only tests of paleomagnetic reliability.

In the present study, the isotopic composition (δ18Ο) of several spring waters in Argolis peninsula is examined. The use of the specific isotope aimed at the determination of the altitude of recharge areas, while the credibility of the extracted results was verified by in situ geological observations. The applied methodology included the construction of a linear diagram which correlates the stable isotopic values (δ18Ο) in meteoric waters and the altitude. Isotopic data, concerning meteoric waters, came from: a) rain gauge stations of GNIP network (IAEA/WMO), b) rain tanks and selected wells located in Mt. Arachnaio, c) improvised rain collectors which were put in several sites in the peninsula. A decrease of 0.45‰ δ18Ο per 100m altitude was determined. The average isotopic composition of the examined springs, as far as δ18Ο is concerned, resulted from 14 sampling periods between October 2005 and March 2008. This 18O-content of spring waters was used to derive the recharge area and consequently to evaluate the mechanism of water renewal.

As a result of paleomagnetic studies Sariolian 2,4–2,3 Ga conglomerates of the Onega basin of the Karelian protoctaton, two characteristic components of magnetization have been separated. Mean direction of the medium-temperature component has a heap distribution and coincides with mean direction of the Svecofennian remagnetization within the Karelian protocraton. The directions of high-temperature magnetization components isolated in conglomerates have a significant spread, which indicates the primary nature of this magnetization component. Two clusters of high-temperature components associated not only with the composition of protolites, but also with different conditions of rock transformations, including their fluid saturation, are distinguished.

SummaryThe plasma tissue factor (TF) concentration was correlated to factor VII concentration (FVIIag) and factor VII activity (FVIIc) in 498 healthy volunteers ranging in age from 17 to 64 years. Immunoassays using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed for the determination of TF and FVIIag in plasma. The mAbs and the test systems were characterized. The mean value of the TF concentration was 172 ± 135 pg/ml. TF showed no age- and gender-related differences. For the total population, FVIIc, determined by a clotting test, was 110 ± 15% and the factor VIlag was 0.77 ± 0.19 μg/ml. FVII activity was significantly increased with age, whereas the concentration demonstrated no correlation to age in this population. FVII concentration is highly correlated with the activity as measured by clotting assay using rabbit thromboplastin. The ratio between FVIIc and FVIIag was not age-dependent, but demonstrated a significant difference between men and women. Between TF and FVII we could not detect a correlation.

SummaryThe plasminogen content was determined by a casein method in plasma and serum from 20 normal volunteers. The mean plasminogen content was found to be 10.1 ACU (the arbitrary caseinolytic unit defined in such a way that using a 3% casein solution and a digestion time of 20 min. at 37°C, 10 ACU gave an extinction of 0.300). No difference between serum and plasma regarding the plasminogen content was found.Plasminogen was determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from 2 ml plasma. The highest values found in the drained clots were 0.9 ACU/clot and 0.2 ACU/clot in the drained plus washed clots.Plasminogen was also determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from plasma with added purified plasminogen. The plasminogen was recovered in the washing fluid. According to these tests, then, purified added plasminogen is washed out of the clots.The plasminogen content of 20 thrombi obtained post mortem was also determined. The mean value was found to be 0.7 ACU/cm thrombus. Judging from our results, the “intrinsic clot lysis theory” is not the main mechanism of clot dissolution.

ABSTRACT An improved method for the determination of serum triiodothyronine (T3) has been developed. After addition of a tracer amount of the hormone, T3 was extracted from 1 ml serum under conditions of pH and ionic strength which favoured T3 extraction (89%) over thyroxine (T4) extraction (58%). Chromatography of the extracted material on Sephadex LH-20 separated T3 completely from residual T4. The T3 eluate was dried, then re-dissolved in 0.5 ml NaOH 0.04 n. To 0.2 ml duplicate aliquots, a standard amount of TBG was added for the competitive protein analysis. After one hour incubation at 4°C, separation of bound from free T3 was achieved on small Sephadex G-25 columns. Overall recovery was 67 ± 10.8% and correction for the loss was made. The solvent blank was 37 ± 27 (sd) ng/100 ml. Accuracy of measurement of known quantities of T3 added to serum was 98.4%. The coefficient of variation within the assay was 6.2% and between the assays it was 11.4%. The limit of detection (0.1 ng) corresponded to a concentration of 25 ng/100 ml. T4 added to serum did not interfere with T3 determination until high non-physiological values were reached. The mean ± sd serum T3 in 54 euthyroid subjects was 153 ± 58 ng/100 ml and in 24 hyperthyroid patients it was 428 ±186 ng/100 ml; 4 out of the 24 hyperthyroid values were within 2 sd of the mean euthyroid group. All the values found in the euthyroid group were well above the limit of detection of the method.

AbstractAssessment of several noise indicators are determined by the logarithmic mean <img src="/fulltext-image.asp?format=htmlnonpaginated&src=P42524002G141TV8_html\05_paper.gif" alt=""/>, from the sum of independent random resultsL1;L2; : : : ;Lnof the sound level, being under testing. The estimation of uncertainty of such averaging requires knowledge of probability distribution of the function form of their calculations. The developed solution, leading to the recurrent determination of the probability distribution function for the estimation of the mean value of noise levels and its variance, is shown in this paper.
