Energy Principles

A model representation of a web-cored sandwich structure, which is based upon the energy principles of continuum theory while retaining the discrete nature of the webs, is studied. The determination of a second-order shear modulus, which measures local bending effects, accounts for the transverse shear deformation of the core. This notion is exemplified through consideration of the flexure and buckling of a web-stiffened sandwich beam, and by comparison of the results calculated from rigid frame analysis with those based on the sandwich solution. Additionally, the technique for employing classical Bernoulli-Euler modes in the eigenfunction expansion of displacement functions is extended and applied to the problems of free vibrations of a free-free web-stiffened sandwich beam.

Theory Of Shells

An analysis of the free vibrations of simply supported and clamped, web-stiffened, circular, cylindrical sandwich shells is presented. The mathematical model formulated includes the effect of translatory and rotatory inertia in each layer of the sandwich, and treats the two face layers as thin shells in which the classical (Donnell) theory of shells applies. However, shear deformations are permitted in the core, which is treated as a layer of inhomogeneous, orthotropic material. In the analysis, the discrete nature of the webs is maintained, except for the inclusion of an average secondary shear modulus induced by the bending of the webs and faces. The effect of smearing-out, or averaging, a given web-stiffened core is also investigated. A Galerkin procedure is employed to determine the natural frequencies from a variational functional generated by means of Hamilton's principle.

Nylon Line

A new technique has been devised for measuring the in situ tension in small ligaments. It is based on measuring the tension in an axially loaded flexible cable with pinned endpoints by deflecting the cable laterally and measuring its lateral load and deformation. Studies were performed in which nylon line and bone ligament bone preparations were placed in a materials tester and loaded in axial tension. Axial load as measured by lateral load and deformation was found to agree with the known load to within 8 percent. The method was sensitive to error in determination of ligament length, nonperpendicularity of the laterally applied load to the long axis of the ligament, and when used in situ, impingement of the ligament on a third bone causing bending. A device, consisting of an LVDT mounted to a rigid frame with its core rod connected to a load cell, was developed. The position of the core rod was controlled by a manual screw drive, and a hook on the other end of the core rod was used to deflect the ligament laterally. This device was applied to the study of tensions in five ligaments of the palmar wrist carpus, in seven cadaver specimens. Results showed that the radioscaphocapitate (RSC) and radiolunate (RL) ligaments had significantly greater tensions than the lunotriquetral (LT), the triquetrocapitate (TC), and scaphocapitate (SC) ligaments. For the four positions of the hand tested, neutral, 14 deg radial and 14 deg ulnar deviation, and 28 deg of extension, ligament tensions were found to be unaffected by position. In all positions tested, all ligaments had measurable tension, demonstrating the importance of ligaments in maintaining the integrity of the wrist carpus.

Success in protein-free deposition of native nucleic acid molecules from solutions of selected ionic conditions prompted attempts for high resolution imaging of nucleic acid interactions with proteins, not attainable by conventional EM. Since the nucleic acid molecules can be visualized in the dark-field STEM mode without contrasting by heavy atoms, the established linearity between scattering cross-section and molecular weight can be applied to the determination of their molecular mass (M) linear density (M/L), mass distribution and radius of gyration (RG). Determination of these parameters promotes electron microscopic imaging of biological macromolecules by STEM to a quantitative analytical level. This technique is applied to study the mechanism of 16S rRNA folding during the assembly process of the 30S ribosomal subunit of E. coli. The sequential addition of protein S4 which binds to the 5'end of the 16S rRNA and S8 and S15 which bind to the central domain of the molecule leads to a corresponding increase of mass and increased coiling of the 16S rRNA in the core particles. This increased compactness is evident from the decrease in RG values from 114Å to 91Å (in “ribosomal” buffer consisting of 10 mM Hepes pH 7.6, 60 mM KCl, 2 m Mg(OAc)2, 1 mM DTT). The binding of S20, S17 and S7 which interact with the 5'domain, the central domain and the 3'domain, respectively, continues the trend of mass increase. However, the RG values of the core particles exhibit a reverse trend, an increase to 108Å. In addition, the binding of S7 leads to the formation of a globular mass cluster with a diameter of about 115Å and a mass of ∽300 kDa. The rest of the mass, about 330 kDa, remains loosely coiled giving the particle a “medusa-like” appearance. These results provide direct evidence that 16S RNA undergoes significant structural reorganization during the 30S subunit assembly and show that its interactions with the six primary binding proteins are not sufficient for 16S rRNA coiling into particles resembling the native 30S subunit, contrary to what has been reported in the literature.

THE AIM: To study the characteristics of phosphorus-calcium metabolism in patients with neurogenic disorders of urination, taking into account the severity of the manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 90 children, including 60 children with neuro-muscular dysfunction of the bladder (NMDB) and 30 children with enuresis from the age of 5 to 15 years. The diagnosis was established based on a comprehensive examination and according to industry standards. Connective tissue dysplasia was diagnosed in children with the detection of 6 or more small external or visceral manifestations involving 3 or more organs from different systems. Assessment of the severity (severity) of connective tissue dysplasia was carried out according to the point system proposed by T.I. Kadurina et al. Each group was divided into subgroups depending on the severity of the manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia. The determination of the level of calcium and phosphorus in the blood and urine, as well as the calculation of the calcium-creatinine coefficient followed by a comparison of the results in these groups and subgroups. To assess the significance of differences, the Mann-Whitney test was calculated, p <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS. he level of calcium and phosphorus in the urine was slightly higher in children with enuresis, especially in the morning portion of urine, where the concentration of calcium was 26% higher than in patients with NMDB. At the same time, the value of calcium /creatinine coefficient was significantly higher in the group of patients with enuresis and was 2 times higher than the normative indicators, which indicates the importance of hypercalciuria in the development of enuresis. СONCLUSION. According to the obtained data, the severity of calciuria, determined by the value of the calcium-creatinine coefficient, is significantly higher in patients with enuresis than with NMDB.

A precise method for the determination of the increment of the  basal area using the PressIer bore. Refering to  previous research showing that the basal area of the corsica pine could be  characterized by an ellips, we present in this paper a precise method for the  determination of the increment of the basal area. In this method we determine  the direction of the maximum diameter, we measure this diameter and we take a  core in one of the points of tangency of the caliper with the measured tree.  The determination of the diameter perpendicular to the maximum diameter  finishes the work wich is to be done in the forest. From the classical  measurements effectuated on the core and from the measured diameters we can  then determine the form (V) and the excentricity (e). Substituting these two  parameters in the formula 2 or 2', we can also calculate the error of a  radius measured on the core with respect to the representative radius, This  error with them allow us to correct the measured value of the minimum or the  maximum radius and we will be able to do a precise determination of the  increment.

AbstractThe coordination chemistry of the unsymmetric, aliphatic, tetradentate tripodal ligand N[(CH2CH2NH2)(CH2CH2OH)(CH2CH2CH2OH)] H4-1 with iron chlorides was investigated. The disodium salt of the deprotonated ligand Na2(H2-1) reacts with FeCl3 to yield a yellow precipitate which upon recrystallization from DMSO/CH2Cl2 gives red crystals of the octanuclear iron(III) complex [{FeIIICl(H2-1)}4FeIII4(μ4-O)4Cl4] 2 ・ 4CH2Cl2 containing a central Fe4(μ4-O)4 cubane core. Crystals of 2 ・4DMF were obtained by slow oxidation of the green iron(II) complex obtained from ferrous chloride and Na2(H2-1) after recrystallization from DMF. The structure determination of 2 ・4CH2Cl2 also revealed the presence of the iron(III) oxo cubane core. The core is surrounded by four iron atoms each coordinated by η4-(H2-1)2- and Cl- ligands.

Comparison Of The Results

A simple and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of folic acid (FA) in bulk and pharmaceutical Formulations. The method is based on the oxidation of FA by Fe (III) in sulfuric acid medium. Fe (III) subsequently reduces to Fe (II) which is coupled with potassium ferricyanide to form Prussian blue. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in absorbance at λmax 725 nm. The rate data and fixed time methods were adopted for constructing the calibration curves. The linearity range was found to be 1–20 μg mL-1 for each method. The correlation coefficient was 0.9978 and 0.9993, and LOD was found to be 0.91 and 0.09 μg mL-1 for rate data and fixed time methods, respectively. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of FA in formulations with no interference from the excipients. Statical comparison of the results shows that there is no significant difference between the proposed and pharmacopoeial methods

Abstract Periods of free vibrations of the spheroidal type have been calculated numerically on an IBM 7090 for the fundamental and first two shear modes for periods greater than about two hundred seconds. Calculations were made for four different earth models. Phase and group velocities were also computed and are tabulated herein for the first two shear modes. The behavior of particle motions for different modes is discussed. In particular, particle motions for the two shear modes indicate that they behave in some period ranges like Stoneley waves tied to the core-mantle interface. Calculations have been made also for a model which presumes a solid inner core and will be discussed in Part II. The two computer programs which were made for these calculations are described briefly.
