Twenty-six patients with cervical radiculopathy and/or myelopathy caused by spondylosis or disk herniation were examined with myelography, CT myelography and MR. Fourteen of the patients were operated upon and 11 of them underwent postoperative MR and CT. The three radiologic methods provided comparable information about narrowing of the subarachnoid space and compression of the spinal cord. It was more difficult to distinguish bone from soft tissue with MR only, but the combination of MR and conventional radiography gave sufficient information for this differentiation. When radiologic nerve root sheath deformity was compared with clinical radiculopathy, myelography, CT myelography and MR had similar sensitivity and accuracy. Postoperative MR could reveal remaining indentation on the thecal sac and the cord but CT without contrast medium was useful as a complement to determine the aetiology of the indentation. Because MR has several practical advantages, it is well suited as the primary imaging modality, together with conventional radiography, for the preoperative radiologic evaluation of patients with cervical radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. Postoperative MR is useful in patients with persistent or new symptoms.

I should like to give you a very condensed progress report on some spectrophotometric measurements of objective-prism spectra made in collaboration with H. Leicher at Bonn. The procedure used is almost completely automatic. The measurements are made with the help of a semi-automatic fully digitized registering microphotometer constructed by Hög-Hamburg. The reductions are carried out with the aid of a number of interconnected programmes written for the computer IBM 7090, beginning with the output of the photometer in the form of punched cards and ending with the printing-out of the final two-dimensional classifications.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

AbstractIn this paper we present complete two-dimensional measurements of the observed brightness of the 9th November 1990Hαflare, using a PDS microdensitometer scanner and image processing software MIDAS. The resulting isophotal contour maps, were used to describe morphological-cum-temporal behaviour of the flare and also the kernels of the flare. Correlation of theHαflare with SXR and MW radiations were also studied.

This tutorial will discuss the methodology of low dose electron diffraction and imaging of crystalline biological objects, the problems of data interpretation for two-dimensional projected density maps of glucose embedded protein crystals, the factors to be considered in combining tilt data from three-dimensional crystals, and finally, the prospects of achieving a high resolution three-dimensional density map of a biological crystal. This methodology will be illustrated using two proteins under investigation in our laboratory, the T4 DNA helix destabilizing protein gp32*I and the crotoxin complex crystal.
