The Fundamental Definitions in Radar Measurement Principle and Theory of Space and Time

Fundamental definitions of distance and velocity in radar measurement principle are examined and revised from strict theoretical point of view. Synchronization scheme - for clocks in uniform, translatory relative motion is introduced as theoretical foundation for GPS and GLONASS type navigation and positioning technology. Traditional definitions of two-way radar measurement, based on arithmetic mean vlaue concept, turn out to be special cases of revised definitions for one-way radar measurement, based on geometric mean concept, derived from synchronization of moving clocks in accordance with the principle of relativity. The essential physical meaning of Lorentz transformation is interpreted in terms of radar measured parameters. Invariance or absoluteness of four dimensional interval turns out to be invariance or absoluteness of geometric mean time interval. The Lorentz factor turns out to be ratio of geometric mean and arithmetic mean time intervals in terms of radar measured parameters. Theoretical re     

Ultrastructure of neurons of nucleus preopticus and pars lateralis of the nucleus lateralis tuberis in Gambusia (Teleosta poeciliidae)]

The nucleus preopticus (NPO) and the pars lateralis of the nucleus lateralis tuberis (NLT) have been examined at the ultrastructural level. In the NPO two types of large neurons occur, both containing 140-150 nm secretory granules. The pars lateralis of the NLT contains only one cell type with similar granules. Both of these nuclei may be the source of type A fibres innervating the gonadotropic cells of Gambusia.     

Bdelloid rotifers in Dominican amber: Evidence for parthenogenetic continuity

Recently discovered representatives of the Class Bdelloidea from Tertiary amber from the Dominican Republic represent the oldest known fossils of the Phylum Rotifera. Assuming that the fossil bdelloids had a similar mode of reproduction as present day members of the Class (apomictic thelytoky), then contrary to current thought, some lines of parthenogenetic organisms are not doomed to an early extinction and have evolved built-in mechanisms for genetic diversity.     

Inhibitory effect of antiproteoglycan serum on the biosynthesis of proteochondroitin sulfate in calf rib cartilage in vitro

Summary Incubation of calf rib cartilage slices with antiproteoglycan serum elevates CO₂-production, but inhibits biosynthesis of proteochondroitinsulfate and of total protein. Absorbing antiserum with proteoglycan abolishes these effects.Acknowledgment. This work was supported by grant K1 193/9 and 10 from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.     

Synthesis of caerulein

Riassunto Viene riportata la sintesi della piroglutamilglutaminil-aspartil-tirosil(O-solfato)-treonil-glicil-triptofanil-metionil-aspartil-fenilalaninamide, un peptide identico per proprietà chimiche, fisiche e biologiche alla caeruleina.
