Light transmission. I. An acoustic method able to monitor transmitted light

Summary A method able to monitor transmitted light acoustically is described. It makes use of an amplifier of light variations, provided with a photocell and a sound device, a photometer, an optic probe and a special support.Acknowledgments. The author would like to thank Dr Leonard Salzarulo, chairman of the Physics Department of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, for the critical reading of the paper. The author acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Prof. Araldo Ramundo of the Centro Regionale Professionale in Cosenza, Italy, for designing and assembling the electronic amplifier. Appreciation is also extended to Prof. Giuseppe Battendieri of the Liceo Scientifico Enrico Fermi in Cosenza, Italy, for the schematic reproduction of the apparatus.

16-β-methylprednisone from hecogenin

Zusammenfassung Es wird über die Herstellung des 16-Methylprednisons berichtet, welche vom Hecogenin ausgehend über ca. 15 Stufen durchgeführt wird. Als wichtige Zwischenstufe treten 5-Pregn-16-en-3-ol-11, 20-dion-Acetat und 16-Methylen-5-pregnan-3, 17-diol-11, 20-dion auf: letzteres wird durch eine stereospezifische katalytische Reduktion in das entsprechende 16-Methyl-derivat umgewandelt.

The “day of Brahman” in the work of Āryabhata

Summary In the astronomical treatise ryabhatya of ryabhata several verses are interpolated, namely all those verses in which either Brahman was mentioned or extremely large periods were introduced. The interpolator was known to AlBrn as ryabhata of Kusumapura, who belongs to the school of the elder ryabhata. The aim of the interpolator was to bring the teaching of the elder ryabhata into accordance with the revelation of Svayambh. Svayambh is another name for Brahm.     

Defensive steroids from a carrion beetle (Silpha americana)

Summary The defensive anal effluent discharged bySilpha americana in response to disturbance contains a mixture of steroids stemming from a glandular annex of the rectum. The compounds have been characterized as 15-hydroxyprogesterone (1, principal component), 5-pregnan-15-ol-3, 20-dione (2), 5-pregnan-3, 15-diol-20-one (3), 5-pregnan-7, 15-diol-3,20-dione (4), 5-pregnan-3, 7, 15-triol-20-one (5), 5-pregnan-16-ol-3,20-dione (6), and 5-pregnan-3, 16-diol-20-one (7), none previously found in insects. Bioassays with jumping spiders showed compounds1 and6 to be feeding deterrents at the 1 g level.Paper No. 78 of the series: Defense Mechanisms of Arthropods.
