ABSTRACT 1. Reserpine does not inhibit the tissue respiration of liver in normal male rats (in vitro). 2. The decrease of tissue respiration of the liver with simultaneous morphological stimulation of the thyroid gland after long administration of reserpine is due to a minute inhibition of the hormone synthesis in the thyroid gland. 3. The morphological alterations of the thyroid in experimental hypothyroidism due to perchlorate can not be prevented with reserpine.

Background: Background: Fibrinolytic protease from Euphausia superba (EFP) was isolated. Objective: Biochemical distinctions, regulation of the catalytic function, and the key residues of EFP were investigated. Methods: The serial inhibition kinetic evaluations coupled with measurements of fluorescence spectra in the presence of 4- (2-aminoethyl) benzene sulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF) was conducted. The computational molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were also applied for a comparative study. Results: The enzyme behaved as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of about 28.6 kD with Km BApNA = 0.629 ± 0.02 mM and kcat/Km BApNA = 7.08 s-1 /mM. The real-time interval measurements revealed that the inactivation was a first-order reaction, with the kinetic processes shifting from a monophase to a biphase. Measurements of fluorescence spectra showed that serine residue modification by AEBSF directly caused conspicuous changes of the tertiary structures and exposed hydrophobic surfaces. Some osmolytes were applied to find protective roles. These results confirmed that the active region of EFP is more flexible than the overall enzyme molecule and serine, as the key residue, is associated with the regional unfolding of EFP in addition to its catalytic role. The MD simulations were supportive to the kinetics data. Conclusion: Our study indicated that EFP has an essential serine residue for its catalyst function and associated folding behaviors. Also, the functional role of osmolytes such as proline and glycine that may play a role in defense mechanisms from environmental adaptation in a krill’s body was suggested.

An analysis was performed of various estimates of the adiabatic temperature Ttot that corresponds to the total heat liberated by a gas dose adsorbed on a metal film in the calorimeter for measurement of chemisorption enthalpies. Besides the two common procedures consisting either in the construction of the adiabatic temperature-time curve or in the extrapolation of the single-exponential cooling part of the actual temperature-time curve to zero time, we have examined estimates of Ttot by extrapolating the cooling exponential to the mid-point between zero time and the temperature maximum (t = tmax/2). Model calculations have shown the merit of the latter extrapolation, particularly in the cases of slow heat evolution. This has been verified on the data measured in the chemisorption of methane and ethane on molybdenum films. Extrapolation to tmax/2 has turned out to be a simple and reasonably reliable procedure for handling the data obtained in film calorimeters.

In order to find the temperature field in the ground with a heat exchanger, it is necessary to determine temperature responses of the ground caused by heat sources and the influence of the environment. To determine the latter, a new model of heat transfer in the ground under natural conditions was developed. The heat flux of the evaporation of moisture from the ground was described by the relationship taking into account the annual amount of rainfall. The analytical solution for the equations of this model is presented. Under the conditions for which the calculations were performed, the following data were obtained: the average ground surface temperature Tsm = 10.67 °C, the ground surface temperature amplitude As = 13.88 K, and the phase angle Ps = 0.202 rad. This method makes it possible to easily determine the undisturbed ground temperature at any depth and at any time. This solution was used to find the temperature field in the ground with an installed slinky-coil heat exchanger that consisted of 63 coils. The results of calculations according to the presented model were compared with the results of measurements from the literature. The 3D model for the ground with an installed heat exchanger enables the analysis of the influence of miscellaneous parameters of the process of extracting or supplying heat from/to the ground on its temperature field.
