Effect of glycerol treatment on sodium and potassium in isolated muscle fibres of the frog

Summary The sodium concentration in single frog muscle fibres vacuolated by glycerol treatment was significantly higher than in devacuolated fibres. Intracellular potassium concentration did not show any significant change. It is concluded that the transverse tubular system forms vacuoles with a high NaCl concentration upon glycerol removal.     

Charakterisierung der Geisseln und des Flagellins vonListeria monocytogenes. I. Immunologische Untersuchungen

Summary It is possible to show only H-antibodies in a latex test with a purified flagella suspension ofListeria monocytogenes. An antigen community betweenStaphylococcus aureus and flagella ofListeria could be excluded.     

Tetrapyrrole biosynthesis from 4,5-dioxovaleric acid in rhodopseudomonas spheroides.

Prophyrin biosynthesis from 4,5-dioxovaleric acid was studied in cell suspensions of R. spheroides. The experiments show that 4,5-dioxovaleric acid is a far precursor of porphyrins through delta amino laevulinic acid formation in a transmination reaction involving also l-alanine. It differs radically from the classical delta aminolaevulinic acid synthesis using glycine and succinyl CoA as substrates.     

Muscle crossbridge action in excitation and relaxation

Summary Pulse-propagation measurements on a muscle stimulated into tetanus show that the stiffness develops earlier and starts to relax later than the tension. It is concluded that the myosin heads which move towards the actin filaments during excitation become mechanically attached to them.We gratefully acknowledge financial help from the Australian Research Grants Committee.

Injection of a soluble sperm fraction into sea-urchin eggs triggers the cortical reaction

Fertilization membranes form around unfertilized sea-urchin eggs after microinjection of a soluble spermatozoa fraction isosmotic with seawater. This demonstrates that the spermatozoon contains a chemical that triggers an increase in cytosolic calcium, leading to exocytosis of cortical granules. It also demonstrates that the triggering mechanism does not require an externally-activated egg-membrane process. Further experiments show that the chemical trigger is not calcium.     

A predicting system based on combining an adaptive predictor and a knowledge base as applied to a blast furnace

In this paper a system is proposed and applied to predicting silicon content in pig iron for a blast furnace. It combines an adaptive predictor with a knowledge base. On-line experiments show that the prediction accuracy of the system is much better than that of an experienced operator or of an adaptive predictor alone. Such a system will be helpful to operators in selecting desirable control methods.     

Über die Stoffwechselwirkung eines Lipopolysaccharids ausEscherichia coli

Summary It has been established that pyrogen causes hyperglycemia and diminution of the lactic acid level in the blood. Inin vitro investigations, oxygen requirements of the liver slices show marked increase. The results are regarded as showing a primary action of the pyrogens on metabolism.

Effect of early bursectomy on allocrafts survival in chicken

Summary Surgical bursectomy in chicken at 62 h of incubation produces a delay in skin allograft rejection, whereas later bursectomized chickens show normal rejection time. It is proposed that the Bursa of Fabricius in early stages of development influences the development of cellular immunity.The authors are indebted to Miss Nelly Pérez Jimeno for her invaluable technical assistance.     

The amino acid sequence of the agglutinin isolated from the red marine alga Bryothamnion triquetrum defines a novel lectin structure

The primary structure of a lectin isolated from the red alga Bryothamnion triquetrum was established by combination of Edman degradation of sets of overlapping peptides and mass spectrometry. It contains 91 amino acids and two disulphide bonds. The primary structure of the B. triquetrum lectin does not show amino acid sequence similarity with known plant and animal lectin structures. Hence, this protein may be the paradigm of a novel lectin family.     

Functional inhibition of isolated pancreatic cells, new technic for the detection of macrophage cytotoxicity]

It is usually accepted that macrophages "activated" by lymphokines may be found cytotoxic against tumoral target cells but show no detectable cytotoxicity in in vitro tests using normal non tumoral cells as target cells. These data have been obtained mainly with the chromium-release test. The present paper describes a new test using normal isolated pancreatic cells as target cells and evaluating the effect of activated or non-activated macrophages on the insulin secretion response to glucose stimulation. The results show a striking decrease in this response following an 18-hr incubation of pancreatic islet cells with activated macrophages, as compared to that of the same cells incubated with control macrophages. This is clear evidence that activated macrophages may alter normal cells and suggests that their cytotoxic properties are not restricted to tumoral target cells.     

Mathematical instrumentalism, Gödel’s theorem, and inductive evidence

Mathematical instrumentalism construes some parts of mathematics, typically the abstract ones, as an instrument for establishing statements in other parts of mathematics, typically the elementary ones. Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem seems to show that one cannot prove the consistency of all of mathematics from within elementary mathematics. It is therefore generally thought to defeat instrumentalisms that insist on a proof of the consistency of abstract mathematics from within the elementary portion. This article argues that though some versions of mathematical instrumentalism are defeated by Gödel’s theorem, not all are. By considering inductive reasons in mathematics, we show that some mathematical instrumentalisms survive the theorem.     

Inhibition of granulocyte-macrophage (GM) colony formation by basic polypeptides from mouse Ehrlich ascites tumor cells

Summary The polypeptides isolated from mouse Ehrlich ascites tumor cells were tested for their inhibitory activity against GM colony formation. It was found that basic polypeptides with low molecular weight evidently inhibit colony formation. Our data reveal that the tested polypeptides may show chalone activity.     

Detection of regime switches between stationary and nonstationary processes and economic forecasting

It often occurs that no model may be exactly right, and that different portions of the data may favour different models. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new procedure for the detection of regime switches between stationary and nonstationary processes in economic time series and to show its usefulness in economic forecasting. In the proposed procedure, time series observations are divided into several segments, and a stationary or nonstationary autoregressive model is fitted to each segment. The goodness of fit of the global model composed of these local models is evaluated using the corresponding information criterion, and the division which minimizes the information criterion defines the best model. Simulation and forecasting results show the efficacy and limitations of the proposed procedure. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A note on the mechanism of action of UV-irradiation of amphibian embryos

The actions on amphibian embryos of UV-irradiation, exposure to Li+ or exposure to ouabain show interesting parallels with their effects on spontaneous release at the presynaptic terminals of the neuromuscular junction. It is suggested that these treatments serve to raise intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in these examples, and that UV-promoted abnormalities in embryogenesis are a consequence of changes in [Ca2+]i at critical stages in development.     

Inhibition sélective de quelques enzymes respiratoires chezEscherichia coli

Summary It is possible to dissociate the activity of different enzymatic systems of the bacteriumEscherichia coli by the action of high hydrostatic pressures. This activity is studied in the microbes after having been subjected to high hydrostatic pressure. Each enzymatic system is inhibited at different pressures. The enzymes of the bacteria submitted to pressures lower than the inhibiting limit show a residual enzymatic activity; sometimes this activity appears after a phase of lag.     

Production of heteroagglutinins in haemocytes of Leucophaea maderae L.

It was our purpose to study the immunological activity of circulating fluid cells in the blattoid insect Leucophaea maderae L. These cells are generically called haemocytes; after a preliminary morphological study under optical microscope, they were treated with anti-heteroagglutinins serum marked with fluorescein isothiocyanate. Thus, it was possible to show the presence of heteroagglutinins into the cytoplasm, as regards one group of haemocytes, and on the cell membrane for the second group.     

Economic factors and the stock market: a new perspective

It has been widely accepted that many financial and economic variables are non‐linear, and neural networks can model flexible linear or non‐linear relationships among variables. The present paper deals with an important issue: Can the many studies in the finance literature evidencing predictability of stock returns by means of linear regression be improved by a neural network? We show that the predictive accuracy can be improved by a neural network, and the results largely hold out‐of‐sample. Both the neural network and linear forecasts show significant market timing ability. While the switching portfolio based on the linear forecasts outperforms the buy‐and‐hold market portfolio under all three transaction cost scenarios, the switching portfolio based on the neural network forecasts beats the market only if there is no transaction cost.
