According to the relationship of glucose content in diabetes saliva and blood, the biosensor for detecting saliva glucose was introduced based on electrochemical detecting principle, glucose oxidase was immobilized onto the surface of electrode by glutaraldehyde cross-linking. The measuring system was designed by using potentiostat for amperometric chemical sensors. The characters of the microsystem has been demonstrated with the detection of standard glucose solution concentration of saliva parameter. Compared with the data obtained from the instrument CHI660A, it showed that has a good linear relation in the linear range of 0-2200µmol/L, with the correlation coefficient of 0.9531.

The pH value and SO42- concentration in corrosive environment may affect mechanical property of cemented soil inturn to cause some serious damage to structure. The results of tests show that the unconfined compression strength is decreasing with the increase of H2SO4 solution concentration, increasing with the increase of pH value. The pH value is increasing and the SO42- concentration is decreasing with the increase of corrosive time. So it is concluded that compressive strength is closely rated with the pH value, SO42- concentration of corrosive environment and corrosive time. Finally a equation is set up based on the relationship of compressive strength and factors affected, which contain the reduced coefficient of compressive strength, pH value, SO42- concentration and corrosive time. The calculated and measured values are close so that the equation could be used in practical design for reference.

TiO2coated mica (TiO2/Mica) as solar reflective pigment was prepared under hydrothermal treatment. Dispersed TiO2nanosol, having an average particle size of about 25-30nm, was coated on mica flake by the difference between the surface charge of the particles at pH 2 and then calcined at 850°C to stabilize the coated layer on mica. The CIE color coordinate and total solar reflectance (TSR) properties of these pigments were investigated in relation to thickness variation of TiO2layer coated on mica having various lateral sizes. Dense and uniform TiO2layers were tightly coated on the surfaces on mica substrates. Isolation-heat paints were prepared with 20wt% pigments fully dispersed in acryl-urethane resin and several additives to coat the film uniformly. Thermal property of these films, recorded by an isolation-heat measuring system, was observed for the relationship of TSR value according to the thickness of TiO2layer and mica’s lateral size, compared to TiO2itself.

The fine structure of the Z-disk in rat striated muscle has been found to be dependent upon the manner of its fixation. Material primarily fixed in osmium tetroxide shows a square or ‘woven’ lattice in transverse sections, with a spacing of around 22 nm, and with its axes off-set by 45° from the axes of alignment of the files of I-filaments prior to their entry into the Z-disk. In longitudinal sections the disk may have a zig-zag appearance with individual I-filaments of one sarcomere apparently linked obliquely to 2 or more I-filaments of the next. Transverse sections of Z-disks in muscle primarily fixed in glutaraldehyde show a square-lattice pattern with a spacing of about II nm, its axes coinciding with the axes of alignment of the adjacent I-filaments. In longitudinal sections oblique linkages of the ends of the I-filaments are not seen, and they appear either to interdigitate, or to be longitudinally continuous with those of the next sarcomere. This second fine structure is interpreted as being the consequence of the superimposition of 2 basic square lattices, each of 22-nm period, 50 % out of register along each axis, and each fort-ned from the lateral linkage of the ends of the interdigitating I-filaments with the ends of adjacent filaments from their own sarcomere. The relationship of this postulated structure to the lattice patterns previously described, the nature of the cross-linking material, and some possible functional implications are briefly discussed.

Abstract The suitability of disazodicarboxylates as quantitative cross-linking agents for the preparation of rubber vulcanizates of known degrees of cross-linking has been emphasized previously. In a recent paper we have presented the results of an investigation on the dependence of the equilibrium force of retraction on the elongation and degree of cross-linking of rubber and GR-S vulcanized with these compounds. The present paper reports an extension of these investigations of the relationship of physical properties of rubberlike materials to their network structure. Specifically, the tensile strength of azo vulcanized natural rubber has been explored as a function of the degree of cross-linking and of the extent of modification of the chain units. The tensile strengths of natural rubber specimens vulcanized to various extents using sulfur alone or sulfur in conjunction with various accelerators have been investigated in considerable detail recently by Gee, who has emphasized the critical dependence of the tensile strength on the degree of cross-linking. Values for the latter quantity, however, were deduced indirectly from the equilibrium force of retraction using the simple proportionality relationship between force of retraction and degree of cross-linking afforded by the theory of rubber elasticity. This relationship is known to be only approximately valid. Furthermore, the effects on the force of retraction of chain scission, which doubtless accompanied some of the vulcanizations to a considerable degree, were disregarded. For these reasons, Gee's values for the degrees of cross-linking occurring in his vulcanizates are only approximate estimates, and in a few cases they may be seriously in error. Nevertheless, the general character of the relationship between tensile strength and degree of cross-linking which he obtained is confirmed by our results on rubber samples quantitatively cross-linked with measured proportions of decamethylene-dismethyl azodicarboxylate.

Cardiopulmonary signal contains vital and rich physiological information, which is very useful for clinical diagnosis and home healthcare. Convectional monitoring methods still need uncomfortable sensors or are expensive for nonprofessional common consumers. In this paper, we proposed a cardiopulmonary signal detection method based on electromagnetic induction. Based on thoracic volume variation affecting the biological impedance, which can be detected by magnetic induction, our idea is to develop a not complicated and practical measuring platform and exploit the intrinsic properties of cardiopulmonary signals with respiratory and heart rate. We have some theoretical analysis about the relationship of thoracic volume with biological impedance, sensor-head parameters, and the optimal measuring position. Then a whole measuring system has been designed and evaluated. The respiratory and heart rate obtained from the proposed method are not significantly different from the reference method (noncontact BCG).

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.
