In (2) Halmos and Kakutani proved that any unitary operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a product of at most four symmetries (self-adjoint unitaries). It is the purpose of this paper to show that if the unitary is an element of a properly infinite von Neumann algebraA(i.e., one with no finite non-zero central projections), then the symmetries may be chosen fromA.A principal tool used in establishing this result is Theorem 1, which was proved by Murray and von Neumann (6, 3.2.3) for type II1factors; see also (3, Lemma 5). The author would like to thank David Topping for raising the question, and for several stimulating conversations on the subject. He is also indebted to the referee for several helpful suggestions.

In the study of the Type II superstring, it is useful to consider the BRST complex associated to the sum of two pure spinors. The cohomology of this complex is an infinite-dimensional vector space. It is also a finite-dimensional algebra over the algebra of functions of a single pure spinor. In this paper we study the multiplicative structure.

A von Neumann algebra is called hyperfinite if it is the weak closure of an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional von Neumann subalgebras. For a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space the following is known: there exist hyperfinite and non-hyperfinite factors of type II1 (4, Theorem 16’), and of type III (8, Theorem 1); all hyperfinite factors of type Hi are isomorphic (4, Theorem 14); there exist uncountably many non-isomorphic hyperfinite factors of type III (7, Theorem 4.8); there exist two nonisomorphic non-hyperfinite factors of type II1 (10), and of type III (11). In this paper we will show that on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space there exist three non-isomorphic non-hyperfinite factors of type II1 (Theorem 2), and of type III (Theorem 3).Section 1 contains an exposition of crossed product, which is developed mainly for the construction of factors of type III in § 3.

Although we possess a fairly complete knowledge of the abelian subrings of rings of operators in a Hilbert space which are algebraically isomorphic to the ring of all bounded operators of a finite or infinite dimensional unitary space, that is of factors of Type I, very little is known of abelian subrings of factors of Type II1. In (1), Dixmier investigated several properties of maximal abelian subrings of factors of Type II. It turned out that their structure differs essentially from that of maximal abelian subrings of factors of Type I. He showed the existence of maximal abelian subrings in approximately finite factors, possessing the property that every inner*-automorphism carrying this subring into itself is necessarily implemented by a unitary operator of this subring. These maximal abelian subrings are called singular. In addition, he constructed a IIi factor containing two singular abelian subrings which cannot be connected by an inner *automorphism of this ring.

The type II solar radio bursts produced by a shock wave passing through the solar corona are one of the most frequently studied solar activity phenomena. The scientific interest in this type of phenomenon is due to the fact that the presence of this radio event in a solar flare is an almost certain indicator of a future geophysical effect. The origin of the shock waves which produce these bursts is not at all simple; besides the shocks which are generated as a result of a strong energy release during the impulsive phase of a flare, there are also the shocks generated by a coronal mass ejection or the shocks which appear in the interplanetary space due to the supplementary acceleration of the solar particles.

The Type I simple cold block device was described by Bullivant and Ames in 1966 and represented the product of the first successful effort to simplify the equipment required to do sophisticated freeze-cleave techniques. Bullivant, Weinstein and Someda described the Type II device which is a modification of the Type I device and was developed as a collaborative effort at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The modifications reduced specimen contamination and provided controlled specimen warming for heat-etching of fracture faces. We have now tested the Mass. General Hospital version of the Type II device (called the “Type II-MGH device”) on a wide variety of biological specimens and have established temperature and pressure curves for routine heat-etching with the device.

Dogs were injected intravenously with E_. coli endotoxin (2 mg/kg), and lung samples were taken at 15 min., 1 hr. and 24 hrs. At 15 min., occlusion of pulmonary capillaries by degranulating platelets and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PML) was evident (Fig. 1). Capillary endothelium was intact but endothelial damage in small arteries and arterioles, accompanied by intraalveolar hemorrhage, was frequent (Fig. 2). Sloughing of the surfactant layer from alveolar epithelium was evident (Fig. 1). At 1 hr., platelet-PML plugs were no longer seen in capillaries, the endothelium of which was often vacuolated (Fig. 3). Interstitial edema and destruction of alveolar epithelium were seen, and type II cells had discharged their granules into the alveoli (Fig. 4). At 24 hr. phagocytic PML's were frequent in peripheral alveoli, while centrally, alveoli and vessels were packed with fibrin thrombi and PML's (Fig. 5). In similar dogs rendered thrombocytopenic with anti-platelet serum, lung ultrastructure was similar to that of controls, although PML's were more frequently seen in capillaries in the former (Fig. 6).

Several patients with Fabry's, Gaucher's diseases and hyperlipoproteinemia type II and with arthropatic manifestations were observed.As no histological explanation for these symptoms was available,an ultrastructural study of synovial tissue was done to establish an anatomoclinical relation.Material and Methods :synovial membrane samples were obtained by needle biopsies of the knee from three patients with arthropatic manifestations of each disease.They were fixed in 5% glutaraldehyde, postfixed in 1% osmium tetraoxyde and embedded in Epon 812. Thin sections coloured by uranyl acetate and lead citrate were observed with an Elmiskop I Siemens electron microscope.Two important phenomena were observed in synovial tissue:Specific patterns of each lipid storage disease,which are now well known.In all the three metabolic diseases, hydroxyapatite-like crystals were found. They are characterized by their intramitochondrial localization, without any relation with cristae,an anarchic disposition and a mean size of 550 A.Crystals may be found also free in the cytoplasm of synoviocytes Some micrographs suggest an evolution in four steps :a. mitochondria with only a few microcrystalsb. mitochondria stuffed with these structuresc. disruption of mitochondria membranesd. microcrystals appear free in the cytoplasm
