The general morphology of the secondary needle-leaf of Pinus resinosa and the structure of the dermal and ground tissues are described. An anatomical and ultrastructural study of the mature midregion has shown that the leaf is surrounded by a uniseriate epidermis of dead, thick-walled cells which is subtended by a single layer of living hypodermal cells that contain few recognizable organelles. Plicate mesophyll cells occupy the largest portion of the leaf cross-sectional area. These cells have a thin parietal cytoplasm rich in organelles, surrounding a tannin-filled vacuole. Two resin canals are found in the mesophyll towards the adaxial leaf surface and there may be up to three towards the abaxial surface. The resin canal epithelial cells are living at maturity but their cytoplasm appears metabolically inactive.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of fertilization on the allometric relations for red pine (Pinusresinosa Ait.) and ponderosa pine (Pinusponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) growing in contrasting climates. After 2 years of treatment, fertilization did not significantly affect the allometric relations between stem or branch mass and stem diameter for either species. For a similar-diameter tree, current foliage mass and area and new twig mass were significantly greater for fertilized than for control red pine and ponderosa pine. The significant increase in new foliage mass and area occurred in the upper and middle canopy for red pine and middle and lower canopy for ponderosa pine. For a similar-diameter tree, projected (one-sided) leaf area and total foliage mass were significantly greater for fertilized than for control red pine. However, leaf area and total foliage mass did not differ between similar-diameter fertilized and control ponderosa pine because fertilization decreased leaf longevity. The ratios of leaf area/sapwood cross-sectional area measured at breast height (1.37 m) were 0.14 and 0.11 for control plus fertilized red pine and ponderosa pine, respectively, and were greater (but not significantly) for fertilized than for control trees, while the ratios of leaf area/sapwood cross-sectional area measured at the base of live crown were significantly greater for fertilized than for control red pine and ponderosa pine.

The influence of hyperthermia (33 ºC, 2 days) on the ultrastructure of palisade cells of mesophyll of the first rosette leaves of arabidopsis Columbia 0 ecotype (Col-0, phases 1.02–1.04) was studied. Samples of 12-day-old seedlings were selected in 2 variants: control and 2 days 33 ºC. Seedlings of the control variant were grown in a growth chamber with a photoperiod of 15/9 hours. (day/night), illumination 5.5 klx, 75 % humidity and temperature 22 ºC. In the experimental variant containers with 9-day-old seedlings were transferred for 2 days to a growth chamber with a preset light 5.5 klx and temperature 33 ºC, with a photoperiod of 15/9 hours. The conducted ultrastructural analysis allowed to reveal the spectrum of rearrangements of palisade cells after two-day action of high (33 ºC) temperature. It was shown that the high temperature negatively affected size of mesophyll palisade cells, the cross-sectional area of which was 12 % smaller than in the control. Chloroplasts show an increase in granality: in the control granas contained 6–10 thylakoids, often combining into larger granas, up to 20 or more thylakoids in the intersection zone, while after two-day hyperthermia the granas contained 20 or more thylakoids, often forming giant granas of 60 and more thylakoids, the average cross-sectional area of starch granules decreased by almost half: 0.99 μm2 compared to 1.92 μm2 in the control, the diameter of plastoglobuli increased 3–4 times: to 100–200 nm compared to 30–50 nm in the control. In mitochondria, there was a decrease in the partial volume of the cristae, enlightenment of the matrix, the cross-section of mitochondria increased at least twice: 1 μm2 compared to 0.44 μm2 in the control. The mean cross-sectional area of peroxisomes also increased at least twice, to 1.36 μm2 compared with 0.77 μm2 in the control.

Root systems of 6- to 10-year-old red pine (Pinusresinosa Ait.) and jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.) trees reared in various containers were excavated from four different sites and studied. Nursery-grown and naturally regenerated trees of similar age and stem size growing on the same sites were used for comparison. Root cross-sectional area (RCSA) taken 5 cm from the stem, a measurement found to be highly correlated (r = 0.94) with root weight (In–In transformation), was used to describe root system size. The average RCSA's of jack pine reared in paper pots, book planters, and nonribbed styroblock-2 containers were smaller than those of naturally regenerated seedlings, but the differences were not statistically significant. Jack pine and red pine reared in Ontario tubes had significantly larger RCSA's than nursery-grown trees. There were some differences in radial distribution of horizontal roots, and the apportionment between horizontal and vertical root components differed between some of the seedling types.

Post Operative Complications

SummaryDuring a triple pelvic osteotomy, rotation of the free acetabular segment causes the pubic remnant on the acetabulum to rotate into the pelvic canal. The resulting narrowing may cause complications by impingement on the organs within the pelvic canal. Triple pelvic osteotomies were performed on ten cadaver pelves with pubic remnants equal to 0, 25, and 50% of the hemi-pubic length and angles of acetabular rotation of 20, 30, and 40 degrees. All combinations of pubic remnant lengths and angles of acetabular rotation caused a significant reduction in pelvic canal-width and cross-sectional area, when compared to the inact pelvis. Zero, 25, and 50% pubic remnants result in 15, 35, and 50% reductions in pelvic canal width respectively. Overrotation of the acetabulum should be avoided and the pubic remnant on the acetabular segment should be minimized to reduce postoperative complications due to pelvic canal narrowing.When performing triple pelvic osteotomies, the length of the pubic remnant on the acetabular segment and the angle of acetabular rotation both significantly narrow the pelvic canal. To reduce post-operative complications, due to narrowing of the pelvic canal, overrotation of the acetabulum should be avoided and the length of the pubic remnant should be minimized.

Crosssectional Area

The paper presents solutions to the direct and inverse problems on longitudinal vibrations of a rod with a variable cross-sectional area. The law of variation of the cross-sectional area is modeled as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n . The method for reconstructing this function is based on representing the fundamental system of solutions of the direct problem in the form of a Maclaurin series in the variables x and λ. Examples of solutions for various section functions and various boundary conditions are given. It is shown that to recover n unknown coefficients of a polynomial, n eigenvalues are required, and the solution is dual. An unambiguous solution was obtained only for the case of elastic fixation at one of the rod’s ends. The numerical estimation of the method error was made using input data noise. It is shown that the error in finding the variable crosssectional area is less than 1% with the error in the eigenvalues of longitudinal vibrations not exceeding 0.0001.

Abstract The computerized image analysis system has been successfully used for determination and statistical processing of the following geometric characteristics of activated sludge flocs: longest dimension, breadth, equivalent diameter, cross-sectional area, perimeter, elongation, and circularity. These parameters could be effectively and precisely determined by the system applied. In addition, the studied method, as compared to direct microscope observation and photography floc-sizing methods, was found to be more accurate, less time-consuming, and less dependent on the investigators.
