Three distinct kinds of rapid variations have been detected in the light curves of dwarf novae: rapid flickering, short period coherent oscillations, and quasi-periodic oscillations. The rapid flickering is seen in the light curves of most, if not all, dwarf novae, and is especially apparent during minimum light between eruptions. The flickering has a typical time scale of a few minutes or less and a typical amplitude of about .1 mag. The flickering is completely random and unpredictable; the power spectrum of flickering shows only a slow decrease from low to high frequencies. The observations of U Gem by Warner and Nather (1971) showed conclusively that most of the flickering is produced by variations in the luminosity of the bright spot near the outer edge of the accretion disk around the white dwarf in these close binary systems.

Slow Rotation

We consider the motion of a cylinder with the same mass and sizeas a curling rock, but with a very different contact geometry.Whereas the contact area of a curling rock is a thin annulus havinga radius of 6.25 cm and width of about 4 mm, the contact area of the cylinderinvestigated takes the form of several linear segments regularly spacedaround the outer edge of the cylinder, directed radially outward from the center,with length 2 cm and width 4 mm. We consider the motion of this cylinderas it rotates and slides over ice having the nature of the ice surfaceused in the sport of curling. We have previously presented a physicalmodel that accounts for the motion of curling rocks; we extend this modelto explain the motion of the cylinder under investigation. In particular,we focus on slow rotation, i.e., the rotational speed of the contact areasof the cylinder about the center of mass is small compared to thetranslational speed of the center of mass.The principal features of the model are (i) that the kineticfriction induces melting of the ice, with the consequence that thereexists a thin film of liquid water lying between the contact areasof the cylinder and the ice; (ii) that the radial segmentsdrag some of the thin liquid film around the cylinder as it rotates,with the consequence that the relative velocity between the cylinderand the thin liquid film is significantly different than the relativevelocity between the cylinder and the underlying solid ice surface.Since it is the former relative velocity that dictates the nature of themotion of the cylinder, our model predicts, and observations confirm, thatsuch a slowly rotating cylinder stops rotating well before translationalmotion ceases. This is in sharp contrast to the usual case of most slowlyrotating cylinders, where both rotational and translational motion ceaseat the same instant. We have verified this prediction of our model bycareful comparison to the actual motion of a cylinder having a contactarea as described.PACS Nos.: 46.00, 01.80+b

AbstractClinical studies have shown that during standardized movements the Acoustic Emission (AE) from lesions in articular cartilage can be assessed. Specific lesions produce specific acoustic signals, therefore it is possible to evaluate the character of cartilage damage. Consequently it is possible to evaluate the condition of the joint cartilage in order to enhance therapy. Patients performed series of knee bends, first on a plane surface in order to assess the cartilage lesions. Then patients performed knee bends on boards simulating orthopaedic insoles by means of inner and outer edge elevations. Insoles aim at relieving the lesioned areas of cartilage from loads and strain. AEA monitoring reveals the effects of a shift of the zone of load transfer immediately and is an adequate tool for the diagnosis as well as the monitoring of therapeutic measures.

Partition Dimension

The locating-chromatic number of a graph combines two graph concepts, namely coloring vertices and partition dimension of a graph. The locating-chromatic number is the smallest k such that G has a locating k-coloring, denoted by χL(G). This article proposes a procedure for obtaining a locating-chromatic number for an origami graph and its subdivision (one vertex on an outer edge) through two theorems with proofs.

Heterotrophic Production

Sulphate uptake in the dark by phytoplankton constitutes a severe limitation to the determination of bacterial heterotrophic production from sulphate-uptake rates. Consequently a modification to the 35S-method has been developed involving size fractionation to separate the algae from the bacteria. Both the whole water sample and the algae-free filtrate are incubated in the dark with trace quantities of [3H]glucose, whereas the filtrate alone is incubated with 35SO4. The experimental determined ratio (whole sample glucose assimilation: filtrate glucose assimilation) is used to correct the measured sulphate uptake (filtrate) and yields an estimate of bacterial sulphate uptake in the whole sample.A potential filtration artefact has been demonstrated in the 35SO4 uptake methodology. Excision of the outer edge of the membrane filter and counting of the inner wetted circle alone eliminated this problem and significantly improved the analytical performance of the method: coefficient of variation ~ 5%, detection limit ~ 2 ng S ℓ−1 h−1. The modified [35SO4]–[3H]-glucose method was applied to samples from an English chalk stream: bacterial sulphate uptake was higher during the spring diatom maximum (10.6 ng S ℓ−1 h−1) than 3 weeks later when detritus dominated the seston (4.9 ng S ℓ−1 h−1). We estimate the corresponding rates of formation of particulate (bacterial) carbon to be 0.53 and 0.24 μg C ℓ−1 h−1 respectively.

International arrangements for the uses of the ocean have been the subject of long debate within the United Nations since a speech made by Ambassador Arvid Pardo of Malta before the General Assembly in 1967. Issues in question include the method of delimiting the outer edge of the legal continental shelf; the spectrum of ocean arms control possibilities; proposals to create a declaration of principles governing the exploration for, and the exploitation of, seabed mineral resources with the promise that exploitation take place only if it “benefits mankind as a whole,” especially the developing states; and consideration of schemes to create international machinery to regulate, license, or own the resources of the seabed and subsoil. The discussions and debates began in the First (Political and Security) Committee of the 22nd General Assembly and proceeded through an ad hoc committee to the 23rd and 24th assembly plenary sessions. The creation of a permanent committee on the seabed as a part of the General Assembly's machinery attests to the importance members of the United Nations attribute to ocean problems. Having established the committee, they will be faced soon with the necessity of reaching decisions. The 24th General Assembly, for example, passed a resolution requesting the Secretary-General to ascertain members' attitudes on the convening of a new international conference to deal with a wide range of law of the sea problems.
