The article deals with elastic homogeneous isotropic half-space filled with the Cosserat medium. A cylindrical coordinate system is used. A closed system of equations includes equations for the non-trivial components of the displacement and rotation potentials, as well as relations relating the displacements to the potentials and components of the stress and moment stress tensors with displacements and the angle of rotation. On the boundary plane, normal displacements are specified, and the angle of rotation and tangential displacements are absent. Initial conditions are zero. All components of the stress-strain state are assumed to be limited. A system of dimensionless quantities is used. The solution is represented as a convolution with respect to time and a generalized convolution with respect to the radius of surface perturbations with influence functions. To construct them, Hankel transforms are applied along the radius and Laplace in time, as well as expansion in power series in a small parameter in the linear approximation. Found image of all surface influence functions. For example, the following function is considered corresponding to the normal voltage. Its original is on the border of a half-space using the connection of axisymmetric and plane problems, namely, taking into account the proportionality of the Hankel and Fourier images respectively. It uses the previously constructed solution of the planar problem. As a result, the desired function is represented as integrals, which are understood in the sense of regularized values. Analytic expressions for these integrals and the influence function itself are found. Examples of calculations of the influence functions of a granular composite of aluminum shot in an epoxy matrix are given. Two variants of action on the half-space of surface normal displacements are also considered: the disturbance concentrated at the origin and distributed in a circle. Analysis of the results shows that the effect of the moment properties of the medium depends significantly on the value of the parameter characterizing the relationship of elastic displacements and rotational motions. For the material in question in quantitative terms it is not great. However, consideration of moment stress leads to qualitative changes. Namely, there is an additional wave front.

The high resolution STEM is now a fact of life. I think that we have, in the last few years, demonstrated that this instrument is capable of the same resolving power as a CEM but is sufficiently different in its imaging characteristics to offer some real advantages.It seems possible to prove in a quite general way that only a field emission source can give adequate intensity for the highest resolution^ and at the moment this means operating at ultra high vacuum levels. Our experience, however, is that neither the source nor the vacuum are difficult to manage and indeed are simpler than many other systems and substantially trouble-free.

Sectioned tissue rarely indicates evidence of what is probably a highly dynamic state of activity in mitochondria which have been reported to undergo a variety of movements such as streaming, divisions and coalescence. Recently, mitochondria from the rat anterior pituitary have been fixed in a variety of configurations which suggest that conformational changes were occurring at the moment of fixation. Pinocytotic-like vacuoles which may be taking in or expelling materials from the surrounding cell medium, appear to be forming in some of the mitochondria. In some cases, pores extend into the matrix of the mitochondria. In other forms, the remains of what seems to be pinched off vacuoles are evident in the mitochondrial interior. Dense materials, resembling secretory droplets, appear at the junction of the pores and the cytoplasm. The droplets are similar to the secretory materials commonly identified in electron micrographs of the anterior pituitary.

The forte of the Scanning transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) is high resolution imaging with high contrast on thin specimens, as demonstrated by visualization of single heavy atoms. of equal importance for biology is the efficient utilization of all available signals, permitting low dose imaging of unstained single molecules such as DNA.Our work at Brookhaven has concentrated on: 1) design and construction of instruments optimized for a narrow range of biological applications and 2) use of such instruments in a very active user/collaborator program. Therefore our program is highly interactive with a strong emphasis on producing results which are interpretable with a high level of confidence.The major challenge we face at the moment is specimen preparation. The resolution of the STEM is better than 2.5 A, but measurements of resolution vs. dose level off at a resolution of 20 A at a dose of 10 el/A2 on a well-behaved biological specimen such as TMV (tobacco mosaic virus). To track down this problem we are examining all aspects of specimen preparation: purification of biological material, deposition on the thin film substrate, washing, fast freezing and freeze drying. As we attempt to improve our equipment/technique, we use image analysis of TMV internal controls included in all STEM samples as a monitor sensitive enough to detect even a few percent improvement. For delicate specimens, carbon films can be very harsh-leading to disruption of the sample. Therefore we are developing conducting polymer films as alternative substrates, as described elsewhere in these Proceedings. For specimen preparation studies, we have identified (from our user/collaborator program ) a variety of “canary” specimens, each uniquely sensitive to one particular aspect of sample preparation, so we can attempt to separate the variables involved.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious epidemic in the United States. It affects patients of all ages, race, and socioeconomic status (SES). The current care of these patients typically manifests after sequelae have been identified after discharge from the hospital, long after the inciting event. The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of identification and management of the TBI patient from the moment of injury through long-term care as a multidisciplinary approach. By promoting an awareness of the issues that develop around the acutely injured brain and linking them to long-term outcomes, the trauma team can initiate care early to alter the effect on the patient, family, and community. Hopefully, by describing the care afforded at a trauma center and by a multidisciplinary team, we can bring a better understanding to the armamentarium of methods utilized to treat the difficult population of TBI patients.
