Lack Of Information

An understanding of the specific interactions of actin with regulatory proteins has been limited by the lack of information about the structure of the actin filament. Molecular actin has been studied in actin-DNase I complexes by single crystal X-ray analysis, to a resolution of about 0.6nm, and in the electron microscope where two dimensional actin sheets have been reconstructed to a maximum resolution of 1.5nm. While these studies have shown something of the structure of individual actin molecules, essential information about the orientation of actin in the filament is still unavailable.The work of Egelman & DeRosier has, however, suggested a method which could be used to provide an initial quantitative estimate of the orientation of actin within the filament. This method involves the quantitative comparison of computed diffraction data from single actin filaments with diffraction data derived from synthetic filaments constructed using the molecular model of actin as a building block. Their preliminary work was conducted using a model consisting of two juxtaposed spheres of equal size.

Goal. Assess the reliability of a complex technical system with periodic reconfiguration and compare the results obtained a similar system, but without reconfiguration. Materials and methods. In this article uses the method of statistical modeling (Monte Carlo) to assess the reliability of complex system. We using the normal and exponential distribution of failure time for modeling failures of system elements. Reconfiguration algorithm is the algorithm proposed for the attitude and orbit control system of spacecraft. Results. A computer program has been developed for assessing reliability on the basis of a statistical modeling method, which makes it possible to evaluate systems of varying complexity with exponential and normal distribution, as well as with and without periodic reconfiguration. A quantitative estimate of the reliability as a function of the probability of system failure is obtained. Conclusion. It has been demonstrated that a system with reconfiguration has the best reliability characteristics, both in the case of exponential and normal distribution of failures.

Shade Leaves

A one-dimensional, steady-state, constant temperature model of diffusion and absorption of CO2 in the intercellular air spaces of a leaf is presented. The model includes two geometrically distinct regions of the leaf interior, corresponding to palisade and spongy mesophyll tissue, respectively. Sun, shade, and intermediate light leaves are modeled by varying the thicknesses of these two regions. Values of the geometric model parameters are obtained by comparing geometric properties of the model with experimental data of other investigators found from dissection of real leaves. The model provides a quantitative estimate of the extent to which the concentration of gaseous CO2 varies locally within the leaf interior.

Rearing Conditions

This is the first published report concerning reproduction and survival using life table analyses of fertility and survival for Muscina stabulans maintained under laboratory conditions with artificial diets. The intrinsic rate of growth, reproduction rate and average generational time were obtained, suggesting a rapid population growth under these rearing conditions. These findings permitted the creation of time models of survival and oviposition, as well as a quantitative estimate of the adaptation capacity of this species.
