Influence of processing conditions on rheological and mechanical properties of polycarbonate/polypropylene blends
1987
Abstract Rheological and mechanical data on polycarbonate/polypropylene blends are reported as a function of the blend preparation. Both kinds of properties depend on the properties of the homopolymers and on the processing conditions. In the molten state the blends are compatible at low content of polypropylene and incompatible at high content. The blends with intermediate compositions can be called semicompatible. Also in the solid state the blends with low content of polypropylene are compatible, while all other blends are incompatible.
Once again : testing for regional homogeneity
1987
. Summarizing the foregoing discussions in this journal on testing for regional homogeneity the present note shows that in the model of Zellner's seemingly unrelated regressions one test statistic may be used not only to test for overall homogeneity but also to examine for individual coefficient homogeneity. This aim is achieved by varying the linear restrictions in the test statistic according to different problems. To illustrate these tests regional consumption functions for the 11 Bundeslader (States) of the Federal Republic of Germany are used.

Ovarian development of Corynosoma semerme (Acanthocephala) during experimental infections in rats.
1987
SUMMARYThe general structure and aspects of the development of the ovaries of the palaeacanthocephalan Corynosoma semerme were studied by transmission electron microscopy using worms varying in age from 18 to 90 h obtained from experimental primary infections in hydrocortisone-treated rats instead of seals, which serve as the natural definitive hosts. The observations can be interpreted to show that the immature ovaries become transformed relatively rapidly from cellular spheres to the more complex mature ovaries consisting of the supporting and oogonial syncytia and the germ-line cells. The supporting syncytium developed before the oogonial syncytium. The cytological appearance of ovaries …

Do Individual Reactions Predict Group Reactions?
1987
Summary.-Group reactions of three-man groups included in 71 junior ice hockey players were measured using a homeostat. Individual reaction times (simple reaction time, choice reaction time) did not predict group performance. In social psychology many studies have compared the effectiveness of an individual and a group (Kelley & Thibaut. 1969). Less research has been done to predict group performance by individuals' performance. In this study group performance was measured by a homeostat developed in the USSR (Medvedev, 1967). Ic consists of three microammeters connected in the same electric network. When the Examiner rotates the electric resistance, the subjects ought to restore the equilib…
Helium bubbles in metals: Molecular-dynamics simulations and positron states.
1987
By combining molecular-dynamics results for the aluminum-helium interface with positron-state calculations it is demonstrated that a positron is trapped at the surface of a He bubble in Al. The annihilation rate with Al electrons is similar to that at a clean surface, while simultaneously there is a significant annihilation rate with He electrons. This enables one to obtain a useful relation between the positron lifetime and helium densities in bubbles.
Anomalous pressure dependence of the Lamb-Mössbauerf-factor in the spin crossover system [Fe(2-pic-ND2)3]Cl2·EtOD
1987
The pressure dependence of the Lamb-Mossbauer factor of the spin crossover compound [Fe(2-pic-ND2)3]Cl2·EtOD(2-pic-ND2=2-picolylamine, deuterated at the−NH2 group) has been measured at pressures up to 1500 bar and at three temperatures (115.7, 146.7, 185.6 K) around the transition temperatureT t=135 K. The temperature dependence of the unit cell volume has been determined by X-ray diffraction. In the transition region (T=146.7 K), the pressure dependence of thef-factor shows an anomalous increase as compared to the dependence below and above the transition. The behaviour off(p, T), its anomaly and absolute value, can be consistently explained within a theoretical model which treats the comp…
Reversible Digital And Holographic Optical Storafe In Polymeric Liquid Crystals (PLC)
1987
A new reversible optical storage technique based on azo dye containing liquid crystalline polymers and copolymers is described. Monodomain films of the polymers were used as storage medium. Digital and holographic information was stored and reconstructed. The stored information can be erased and the writing process is repeatable. The storage process is explained in terms of a transcis isomerization of the mesogen inducing local director field distortions.

First observation of the blue optical lines of francium
1987
We report here the first wave-length measurements in the second resonance doublet of francium, D1'(7s2S1/2-8p2P 1/2) and D2'(7s2S1/2-8p2P 3/2), carried out by collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy. The transition wave numbers are D1' = 23112.9603(50) cm-1 and D2' = 23658.3058(40) cm-1, corresponding to a 8p fine-structure splitting of δW8p = 545.3454(70) cm-1. In addition the hyperfine structure in both lines and the isotope shift in the D2' line for the isotopes 212,213,220,221Fr have been measured. The results are discussed with special emphasis on the analysis of the atomic structure in the heaviest alkali element and compared with theoretical predictions, as well as the only earlier sp…
Effects of a new IGR-ovicide on a heteropteran (Oncopeltus fasciatusDallas) and lepidopteran (Manduca sextaJohansen) insect
1987
A new insect ovicide (Ov. 165049), 4-methoxy-benzoic acid propargylester, synthesized by BASF (Ludwigshafen) was tested on Oncopeltus fasciatus and Manduca sexta. In the case of O. fasciatus also the effects on last-instar larvae and adult bugs were studied. Topical application of 40 μg/larva dissolved in acetone caused a mortality exceeding 50% at day 1 after treatment. The few animals which developed into imagines did not reproduce. A treatment with 4 μg/larva had no severe impact on metamorphosis and reproduction. Adult O. fasciatus received doses of 40 μg, 20 μg and 4 μg per animal. The high dose caused mortality of 50% at day 1 as in larvae. Mating and egg deposition did not occur in s…

Future Aspects of Positron Spectroscopy
1987
In the first week of this conference experimentalists made us familiar with the features of the positron peaks observed in the collision of very heavy ions with atoms. We learned that these peaks are not understandable in terms of known positron production mechanisms like monoenergetic pair decay of excited nuclear levels or the proposed spontaneous positron production in superheavy atoms. In addition, theorists told us that, at present, also the interpretation that the positron peak structures originate from the decay of a previously not observed neutral particle is in contradiction to well-known experimental facts. Some of you may have, in addition, become confused by the results of the t…
Immunoperoxidase Staining of Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsies of Renal Cell Carcinoma Using Tumor-Specific Monoclonal Antibody
1987
In 30 nephrectomy specimens, fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) were performed both in the tumor and in the macroscopically normal part of the kidney: 18 were well differentiated renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 6 were moderately differentiated RCC, 4 were poorly differentiated RCC, and 2 were oncocytomas. FNAB was also performed in a bone metastasis of RCC. FNAB materials were stained using the immunoperoxidase method with RCC-specific monoclonal antibody and were compared with the staining of frozen sections. In all cases where tumor-antigen expression could be demonstrated in the frozen sections, a FNAB had already proven positive. There were only 2 false-negative cases where sufficient c…
Non-Conventional Tunable Spatial Filtering
1987
A virtual display of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of any object is formed in the transverse source plane by theyirtual diffracted rays extqn0ing in the region to the left of the screen containing the transparencyl),2). Except for a few cases '')"°), the concept of virtual Fourier transform appears not to have been made use of. The main idea of this paper is, bearing in mind the property referred to in the above paragraph, to describe a novel spatial filtering technique. In this way, one can obtain different filtered images, by simply moving the point source along the optical axis. The basic theory is described below.
On State Constrained Optimal Shape Design Problems

La distribuzione dei redditi nelle economie protosocialiste
1987
the Yalta agreements of 1945 and the institutional models that have established themselves have generated a socio-economic system that has imposed itself through revolutionary and widespread social resignation, as opposed to the western system. The use of the administrative function, the partial application of the principle of equality, the abolition of private property, have denied freedom and fundamental principles. the study aims to analyze how that legal, institutional and economic model has been able to establish itself, at least until its contradictions and its legal and economic fictions have emerged.
Late Hercynian Plate and Intraplate Processes within Europe
1987
The Hercynian orogenic belt of Europe consists of a central crystalline ridge which is accompanied on both sides by a rather unmetamorphosed foldbelt. It is speculated that the crystalline ridge represents some kind of island arc system underlain by a segment of continental crust. On both sides this island arc system was involved in subduction of oceanic crust, first of the Mideuropean Sea in the North and then of the Paleotethys in the South. When the continental areas to the north and south of the oceanic areas (North America/Northern Europe and Africa) finally got involved in the subduction processes, continent/continent collision took place on both sides of the island arc system. The tw…
The behaviour of OKT3-, OKT4- and OKT8-positive cells during phases of elevated spontaneous chemiluminescence activity (CL-A) in multiple sclerosis p…
1987
The chemiluminescence activity (CL-A; synonym = burst activity, BA) and the percentage of OKT3-, OKT4- and OKT8-positive peripheral blood cells were serially examined in four control persons and in eight patients with multiple sclerosis. When the OKT values obtained in phases of increased CL-A (clinical remission) were compared with those of the control group, the percentage of OKT3-positive cells was reduced (P = 0.014), and that of OKT4-positive cells increased (P = 0.014); there were no significant changes in the percentage of OKT8-positive cells (P = 0.171). After the CL-A had returned to normal values, the OKT4-positive cells remained elevated (P = 0.029), whereas the OKT3- (P = 0.342)…

1H nmr chemical shifts of [14]annulenes and their dianion salts
1987
Abstract The bridged (14]annulene 2 was reduced into its dianion and the structure of the dianion salt was proven by chemical and spectroscopic means. The 1H NMR spectroscopic properties of 2 are similar to those of the structurally related bridged [14]annulene 1 , whereas the corresponding dianions 2 2- and 1 2- are strikingly different. The geometries of 1 and 2 and their dianions were studied by means of a modified π-SCF force field approach. Almost planar perimeters without significant bond length alternation are obtained for the neutral annulenes 1 and 2 , whereas their dianions are characterized by structures with reduced symmetry. The 1H chemical shifts of the bridged [14]annulenes a…
Technical memorandum: Mode classification in cylindrical surface waveguides
1987
A new method to analyse the TM-TE field structure of hybrid modes in cylindrical surface waveguides is proposed. This method, as well as others previously suggested, is applied to a dielectric-coated wire with an intervening airgap. Our results reveal that they cannot be classified into quasi-TM and quasi-TE modes. However, a scheme of mode designation is proposed, based more on mathematical properties than on the field structure.

Modificaciones histoquimicas y vasculares en la fisis tibial de la rata inducidas por el enclavijamiento
1987
En la tibia derecha de 56 ratas macho de un mes se introdujo una aguja de 0'9 mm. de diámetro y 15 mm. de largo, atravesando la fisis proximal perpendicularmente. Fueron sacrificadas en grupos iguales al cabo de 2. 4, R Y 12 semanas empicando diez animales para estudiar la presencia de proteoglicanos, mediante la tinción del azul alcián, y cuatro para estudio vascular. Desde el principio, en la mayoría de animales se observó una disminución, y luego ausencia, en la captación del azul alrededor de la aguja con normal coloración del resto de la fisis comparada con la contralateral. Al cabo de dos semanas, en la epifisis y metáfisis se apreció un incremento de la vascularización en la zona de …
Morphometric Examination of the Dilated Rat Ureter
1987
Dilatations of the ureter are known in rats with diabetes insipidus as well as after the administration of diuretics (Wladimiroff 1975). Nevertheless, similarities to congenital deformities, such as the primary megaureter, have not been established to date. It has not yet been determined whether in the fetus increased diuresis can lead to a functional overstrain of the transport capacity of the ureter and thus to mutations in the sense of a congenital megaurter. In addition to the direct influence of increased diuresis, teratogenic effects of the administered diuretics during pregnancy are possible. Furthermore, it should be determined whether the dilatation can be classified as an adaptive…

Los liberalismos respetables: pacto y moderación en la revolución de 1835 en Valencia
1987
La caída de los primeros gobiernos moderados del Estatuto Real en el verano de 1835 pareció poner en entredicho la política de pacto y moderación respecto a los antiguos estamentos privilegiados que había caracterizado la vuelta al poder del liberalismo tras la muerte de Femando VII. Sin embargo, y como la propia dinámica revolucionaria se iba a encargar de demostrar, esas variables de pacto y moderación no eran ya, en 1835, patrimonio exclusivo del liberalismo moderado. El levantamiento de las provincias en el verano de 1835, y la específica composición y actuación de muchas de sus Juntas de Gobierno, puso pronto de manifiesto la progresiva claudicación revolucionaria del liberalismo ava…
