Properties of synovial fluid and cartilage are reviewed and some thought is given to the nature of joint lubrication. It does appear, at this stage, that neither the classical hydrodynamic theory of lubrication nor the boundary lubrication can permit an adequate description of the mechanism of joint lubrication; a possible solution lies in application of the elastohydrodynamic theory of lubrication, although this theory is not yet advanced enough to handle the total complexity of joint lubrication. It is suggested that, in principle, joint lubrication depends on the existence of thixotropic and elastic (normal stress phenomenon) fluid between the articular surfaces, that the area of the load-carrying film depends on the elasticity and resiliency of cartilage, and that the latter shows most variable, time- and load-dependent rheological behaviour. Pathological changes in synovial fluid leading to the change of its rheology to Newtonian, will result in a damage to the articular surfaces; on the other hand, a presence of a healthy synovial fluid per se is not sufficient to maintain an efficient lubrication. Resiliency of cartilage is responsible for the existence of elastohydrodynamic conditions; a degeneration of cartilage will lead to boundary lubrication and mechano-chemical degradation of synovial fluid. Complexity of the problems requires multi-disciplinary collaboration.

An examination of some specialized lunar and planetary ephemerides has revealed inconsistencies in the adopted planetary masses, the presence of non-gravitational terms, and some outright numerical errors. They should be considered of temporary usefulness only, subject to subsequent amendment as required for the interpretation of observational data.

Solid state x-ray sensing systems have been used for many years in conjunction with scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Such systems conveniently provide users with elemental area maps and quantitative chemical analyses of samples. Improvements on these tools are currently sought in the following areas: sensitivity at longer and shorter x-ray wavelengths and minimization of noise-broadening of spectral lines. In this paper, we review basic limitations and recent advances in each of these areas. Throughout the review, we emphasize the systems nature of the problem. That is. limitations exist not only in the sensor elements but also in the preamplifier/amplifier chain and in the interfaces between these components.Solid state x-ray sensors usually function by way of incident photons creating electron-hole pairs in semiconductor material. This radiation-produced mobile charge is swept into external circuitry by electric fields in the semiconductor bulk.
