Longitudinal Fiber

Dupuytren's Contracture is a nodular proliferation of the longitudinal fiber bundles of palmar fascia with its attendant contraction. The factors attributed to its etiology have included trauma, diabetes, alcoholism, arthritis, and auto-immune disease. The tissue has been observed by electron microscopy and found to contain myofibroblasts.Dupuytren's Contracture constitutes a scar, and as such, excessive collagen can be observed, along with an active form of fibroblast.Previous studies of the hypertrophic scar have led us to propose that integral in the initiation and sustenance of scar tissue is a profusion of microvascular regeneration, much of which becomes and remains occluded producing a hypoxia which stimulates fibroblast synthesis. Thus, when considering a study of Dupuytren's Contracture, we predicted finding occluded microvessels at or near the fascial scarring focus.Three cases of Dupuytren's Contracture yielded similar specimens, which were fixed in Karnovskys fluid for 2 to 20 days. Upon removal of the contracture bands care was taken to include the contiguous fatty and areolar tissue which contain the vascular supply and to identify the junctional area between old and new fascia.

Root Fiber

The ultrastructure of the normal oral apparatus of Stentor has not been extensively studied. I report here on the ultrastructure of the buccal cavity of Stentor coeruleus.Stentor coeruleus was fixed in either a buffered mixture of osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde, or in buffered glutaraldehyde alone. Cells were then dehydrated and embedded in a mixture of Epon and Araldite.An extensive adoral zone of membranelles surrounds the anterior of the cell, and each membranelle consists of 2 parallel rows of cilia. These extend down into the buccal cavity. Two microtubular root fibers, or nemadesmata (Figs. 2 and 5), extend deeply into the cytoplasm from the base of each ciliary kinetosome. Mitochondria are usually closely associated with the root fiber bundles, and small vesicles are present between the nemadesmata of adjacent kinetosomes (Fig. 5). In the cytopharyngeal, non-ciliated areas of the buccal cavity, microtubular ribbons which extend into the cytoplasm are aligned perpendicular to the plasma membrane of the buccal cavity (Figs. 1 and 2).

Deposition Techniques

Particles of BN,and C are added in amounts of 1 to 40% to SiC and Si3N4 ceramics in order to improve their mechanical properties. The ceramics are then processed by sintering, hot-pressing and chemical vapor deposition techniques to produce dense products. Crack deflection at the particles can increase toughness. However the high temperature strength and toughness are determined byphase interactions in the environmental conditions used for testing. Examination of the ceramics by transmission electron microscopy has shown that the carbon and boron nitride particles have a fibrous texture. In the sintered aSiC ceramic the carbon appears as graphite fiber bundles in the triple junctions and as compact graphite particles within some grains. Examples of these inclusions are shown in Fig. 1A and B.

Cline’S Formula

It is well known that for an associative ring R, if ab has g-Drazin inverse then ba has g-Drazin inverse. In this case, (ba)d = b((ab)d)2a. This formula is so-called Cline?s formula for g-Drazin inverse, which plays an elementary role in matrix and operator theory. In this paper, we generalize Cline?s formula to the wider case. In particular, as applications, we obtain new common spectral properties of bounded linear operators.

Effective Hamiltonians

The wave operator theory of quantum dynamics is reviewed and applied to the study of line profiles and to the determination of the dynamics of interacting resonances. Energy-dependent and energy-independent effective Hamiltonians are investigated. The q-reversal effect in spectroscopy is interpreted in terms of interfering Fano profiles. The dynamics of an hydrogen atom subjected to a strong static electric field is revisited.

Physical Context

Novel quantum concepts acquire content not by representing new beables but through material-inferential relations between claims about them and other claims. Acceptance of quantum theory modifies other concepts in accordance with a pragmatist inferentialist account of how claims acquire content. Quantum theory itself introduces no new beables, but accepting it affects the content of claims about classical magnitudes and other beables unknown to classical physics: the content of a magnitude claim about a physical object is a function of its physical context in a way that eludes standard pragmatics but may be modeled by decoherence. Leggett’s proposed test of macro-realism illustrates this mutation of conceptual content. Quantum fields are not beables but assumables of a quantum theory we use to make claims about particles and non-quantum fields whose denotational content may also be certified by models of decoherence.
