3. The two markers 51chromium EDTA and 103ruthenium were used to examine and compare digesta flow in the eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), the red-necked pademelon (Thylogale thetis), the tammar wallaby (M. eugenii), the eastern wallaroo (M. robustus robustus) and in sheep fed on chopped lucerne hay, and in T. thetis and M. eugenii fed on fresh grass (Phalaris aquatica). The markers were also used to define the kinetics of digesta flow in the intestine, and to estimate the flow of fluid and DM through defined regions of the stomach and intestines of T. thetis and M. eugenii fed on the lucerne diet. The pattern of digesta flow and the degree of differential flow of the 2 markers observed in the macropodines differed markedly from those in sheep and were attributed solely to the mode of transport through the elongated stomach. In the macropodines it was apparent that total mixing of forestomach contents did not occur; rather, digesta flowed slowly along the tubiform forestomach. The relationship of this mode of transport, defined as tubular flow, to stomach structure, and the possible effects on digestion in the forestomach, are discussed.

The article presents the results of experimental studies to determine the relationship between the electrolysis modes and the properties of electroplating coatings for mathematical modeling of the dynamics of the electrolytic process (MDEP), described by a system of ordinary differential equations due to the complex relationship of the kinetics of chemical reactions, hydrodynamics and mass transfer in the electrolyte flow, the kinematics of electrode plates, and the influence of the electric field of the "anode-cathode" pair on all these processes. At the same time, the experimental base was a series of full-scale experiments to restore the seats of the root supports of cylinder blocks with electroplated coatings. The final result of the research is the procedure for constructing an optimal resource-saving mode of electroplating, which is a zinc-iron alloy.

Intake and digestion of chopped lucerne hay was studied in three macropodine species, eastern grey kangaroo Macropus giganteus. red-necked pademelon Thylogale thetis and tammar wallaby M. eugenii, and in sheep. The utilization of fresh Phalaris grass by the two wallaby species T. thetis and M. eugenii was also examined and compared. On the chopped lucerne hay diet, intake of organic matter (OM) was similar in sheep and M. giganteus, but sheep digested more (P<0.05) OM and thus consumed more (P<0.05) digestible energy (DE) than all three macropodine species. Among the macropodines. M. eugenii consumed the least (P<0.01) OM and DE but digested more (P<0.05) OM. However, acid detergent fibre (ADF) digestibility was similar in the three macropodine species and lower (P<0.05) than in sheep. On the fresh grass diet M. eugenii consumed less (P<0.05) OM and DE than T. thetis. ADF digestibility was similar in both species. Although ,M. eugenii consumed less nitrogen (N) than the other three species on the lucerne diet (P<0.01) and less N than T. thetis on the Phalaris diet (P<0.05), N balance was similar and positive in all species. Data from this and other published studies indicate that the maintenance requirements for energy and nitrogen of most macropodines are lower than for sheep, and appear to be lower in M, eugenii than in any other macropodine studied so far. It is also apparent that there are probably few real differences among the Macropodinae in efficiency of fibre digestion, at least on diets of adequate nitrogen and DE content.

The kinetics of the hydrogen-ion-independent pathway for the replacement of fluoride in aqueous (NH3)5CoF2+ by H2O have been reinvestigated using a specific fluoride-ion electrode, with due regard for the concomitant autocatalytic loss of the ammine ligands. In perchlorate media of ionic strength 0.1 M, the first-order rate coefficient is 1.22 × 10−6 s−1 at 45°, and the kinetics are represented by ΔH* = 24.4 kcal mole−1 and ΔS* = −9 cal deg−1 mole−1 over the range 35–75° at least. The relationship of these data to those for the aquation of other species of the type ML5Xn+ is discussed.

Abstract. This study examined and compared the fixation and fixation kinetics of copper (Cu) in chelated (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, EDTA) and non-chelated mixed systems of micronutrients in the semiarid soils of the Southern High Plains, USA, using findings from Cu extraction studies and kinetic models. Approximately, 22 % more Cu was fixed in the non-chelated system compared to the chelated within the first 14 days with only 7 % difference between the two systems by day 90. Findings suggest a decrease in the effectiveness of chelated micronutrients over time, highlighting the significance of timing even when chelated micronutrients are used. The strengths of the relationship of change in available Cu with respect to other micronutrients (iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn)) were higher in the non-chelated system (R2: 0.68–0.94), compared to the chelated (R2: 0.42–0.81), with slopes of 0.40 (Cu–Fe), 0.31 (Cu–Mn), and 1.04 (Cu–Zn) in the non-chelated system and 0.26 (Cu–Fe), 0.22 (Cu–Mn), and 0.90 (Cu–Zn) in the chelated system. Reduction in the amount of available Cu was best described by the power function model (R2 =  0.91, SE  =  0.081) in the non-chelated system and second-order model (R2 =  0.95, SE  =  0.010) in the chelated system. The applications generated from this study could be used as tools for improved micronutrient management and also provide baseline data for future work in other semiarid/arid alkaline soils of the world. Findings are also more applicable to field settings, an improvement over related previous studies.

The contribution of apnea to chronic hypercapnia in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not been clarified. Using a model (D. M. Rapoport, R. G. Norman, and R. M. Goldring. J. Appl. Physiol. 75: 2302–2309, 1993), we previously illustrated failure of CO2 homeostasis during periodic breathing resulting from temporal dissociation between ventilation and perfusion (“temporal V˙/Q˙mismatch”). This study measures acute kinetics of CO2 during periodic breathing and addresses interapnea ventilatory compensation for maintenance of CO2 homeostasis in 11 patients with OSA during daytime sleep (37–171 min). Ventilation and expiratory CO2 and O2 fractions were measured on a breath-by-breath basis by means of a tight-fitting full facemask. Calculations included CO2excretion, metabolic CO2production, and CO2 balance (metabolic CO2 production − exhaled CO2). CO2 balance was tabulated for each apnea/hypopnea event-interevent cycle and as a cumulative value during sleep. Cumulative CO2 balance varied (−3,570 to +1,388 ml). Positive cumulative CO2 balance occurred in the absence of overall hypoventilation during sleep. For each cycle, positive CO2 balance occurred despite increased interevent ventilation to rates as high as 45 l/min. This failure of CO2 homeostasis was dependent on the event-to-interevent duration ratio. The results demonstrate that 1) periodic breathing provides a mechanism for acute hypercapnia in OSA, 2) acute hypercapnia during periodic breathing may occur without a decrease in average minute ventilation, supporting the presence of temporalV˙/Q˙ mismatch, as predicted from our model, and 3) compensation for CO2 accumulation during apnea/hypopnea may be limited by the duration of the interevent interval. The relationship of this acute hypercapnia to sustained chronic hypercapnia in OSA remains to be further explored.

The final installment of a continuing series on choreography considering the mutual interrogation of philosophy and dance, the articles propose a tentative ethics of dance as a “practical philosophy” under the influence of Gilles Deleuze read through specific choreographic practices. Gerald Siegmund describes his private experience of Boris Charmatz's choreographic machine as a metaphor for the entrapment of theatre and as generative of new bodily subjectivities. Introducing anthropological applications of cognitive science to the particular strategies of choreographers working in Brazil, Christine Greiner argues for a political conception of self through dance. Examining the kinetics of the face in RoseAnne Spradlin's Survive Cycle, Victoria Anderson Davies meditates on the relationship of facial expression to language, to consciousness, and to movement.

Release kinetics of two selected heavy metals (Cu and Zn) in a sediment sample collected from the inlet of Baihua Lake was determined. The results show that the double-constant equation was considered as the best-fit equations describing the relationship of Cu and Zn release and time in the sediment from the inlet of the lake (R2 = 0.9759, 0.9226, P<0.01). The effects of temperature, acidity, salinity, and the water/soil ratio on the releasing of heavy metals in sediment sample were also investigated. The heavy metals release would increase as the temperature increased. A low pH value could promote the heavy metals release. The heavy metals in the sediment tended to be released under a relatively high salinity condition. The amount of the heavy metals released from the sediment decreased with the increase of the water/soil ratio.
