Tritium analyses of groundwater from the Gort Lowland of Western Ireland

Zusammenfassung Grundwasserproben aus der Gort-Ebene (West-Irland) wurden auf Tritium-Gehalt analysiert und die Ergebnisse mit dem bereits bekannten Tritium-Einstrom dieser Gegend verglichen. Registrierungen des «World Precipitation Network» in Wien ergaben den Nachweis eines offenbar langsamen Durchflusses in das Grundwasser-Aquifer-System.

Interaction of inhibitory and excitatory junctional potentials in the control of a myogenic myocardium: the ventricle ofBusycon canaliculatum

Résumé Les auteurs ont étudié, par microélectrode interne, l'interaction entre les potentiels postsynaptique inhibitoire et excitatif dans un myocarde myogénique. Ils ont observé la sommation de ces potentiels et leur action facilitant l'inhibition par hyperpolarization et l'excitation par depolarisation.

Feeding activity ofMylabris pustulata Thunb. (Coleoptera: Meloidae)

Résumé L'activité nutritive deM. pustulata Thunb. est en général plus intense sur les plantes d'Hibiscus rosasciensis et sur ses fleurs particulier, à la lumière aussi bien que dans l'obscurité. La lumière ne joue donc pas de rôle important dans l'alimentation de cet insecte.

Zytophotometrische Untersuchungen an normalen Lymphknotenzellen des Schafes

Summary Cytophotometric investigations of lymphocytic populations of 4 sheeps were carried out to determine the diploid standard value for comparative investigations of lymph node cells from sheep with lymphatic leucosis. Inspite of exact and simultaneous preparation there were marked and significant differences in the histograms as well as in the diagrams of absorption level separation. Therefore, the control of several normal cell populations is essential before starting cytophotometric investigations of neoplastic cells.

Metabolic status of temperature induced swollen conidia ofAspergillus nidulans

Summary There is an active synthesis of DNA, RNA, protein, and carbohydrate in conidia incubated at 48°C. DNA increases more or less 3 times; while RNA, protein and carbohydrate are synthesized at a much faster rate. Conidia do not germinate at this temperature.Acknowledgments.
