    Notes: 13C-nuciear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the products of glycerol and acetate metabolism released by Leishmania braziliensis panamensis promastigotes and also to examine the interaction of each of these substrates with glucose or alanine. The NMR data were supplemented by measurements of the rates of oxygen consumption and substrate utilization, and of 14CO2 production from 14C-labeIed substrate. Cells incubated with [2-13C]glycerol released acetate, succinate and D-lactate in addition to CO2. Cells incubated with acetate released only CO2. More succinate C-2/C-3 than C-l/C-4 was released from both [2-13C]glycerol and [2-13C]glucose, indicating that succinate was formed predominantly by CO2 fixation followed by reverse flux through part of the Krebs cycle. Some redistribution of the position of labeling was also seen in alanine and pyruvate, suggesting cycling through pyruvate/oxaloacetate/phosphoenolpyruvate. Cells incubated with combinations of 2 substrates consumed oxygen at the same rate as cells incubated with 1 or no substrate, even though the total substrate utilization had increased. When promastigotes were incubated with both glycerol and glucose, the rate of glucose consumption was unchanged but glycerol consumption decreased about 50%, and the rate of 14CO2 production from [l,(3)-14C]glycerol decreased about 60%. Alanine did not affect the rates of consumption of glucose or glycerol, but decreased 14CO2 production from these substrates by increasing flow of label into alanine. Although glucose decreased alanine consumption by 70%, it increased the rate of 14CO2 production from [U-14C]- and [l-14C]alanine by about 20%. This is consistent with rapid equilibration of alanine with pyruvate derived from glucose and yet little decrease in the specific activity of the large alanine pool.

    Notes: Ground-penetrating radar is a technique which offers a new way of viewing shallow soil and rock conditions. The need to better understanding overburden conditions for activities such as geochemical sampling, geotechnical investigations, and placer exploration, as well as the factors controlling groundwater flow, has generated an increasing demand for techniques which can image the subsurface with higher resolution than previously possible.The areas of application for ground-penetrating radar are diverse. The method has been used successfully to map ice thickness, water depth in lakes, bedrock depth, soil stratigraphy, and water table depth. It is also used to delineate rock fabric, detect voids and identify karst features. The effective application of the radar for the high-resolution definition of soil stratigraphy and fractures in bedrock is highlighted.The basic principles and practices involved in acquiring high quality radar data in the field are illustrated by selected case histories. One example demonstrates how radar has been used to map the bedrock and delineate soil horizons to a depth of more than 20 m. Two case histories show how radar has been used to map fractures and changes of rock type to 40 m range from inside a mine. Another case history demonstrates how radar has also been used to detect and map the extent of groundwater contamination. The corroboration of the radar results by borehole investigations demonstrates the power and utility of the high-resolution radar method as an aid for interpolation and extrapolation of the information obtained with conventional coring programmes. With the advent of new instrumentation and field procedures, the routine application of the radar method is becoming economically viable and the method will see expanded use in the future.

    Notes: SUMMARY. 1. Mean motion and near-bed flows in streams and rivers can be described using a classification derived from fairly simple field measurements. Our proposed classification is ecologically useful because it incorporates the combined effects of velocity, depth and substrate roughness to provide a means of quantifying the flow regimes occurring within the microhabitats of stream benthos.2. Mean motion is characterized by the Reynolds number and the Froude number. Both are easily calculated, and because they are dimensionless they provide a means of comparing flows at different sites.3. Five categories of near-bed flows (i.e. the flow microenvironments of stream benthos) are recognized. Flow may be hydraulically smooth or hydraulically rough and the latter category is subdivided further into: chaotic flow, wake interference flow, isolated roughness flow and skimming flow. Hydraulically smooth flows occur in sections of a river bed with fine sediments (e.g. sands, muds and clays). over flat sheets of bedrock, or in association with the flat blades of submerged macrophytes. Hydraulically rough flows occur where the substrate elements are larger (e. g. pebbles, cobbles and boulders) and are a function of substrate roughness and the depth of flow relative to the height of the roughness elements. Chaotic flows and wake interference flows predominate in riffles whilst isolated roughness flows and skimming flows are more likely to be a feature of runs.4. Conventional stream sampling methods (e.g. the Surber and box or cylinder samplers) may collect across several different flow microhabitats. Our classification should enable different flow microenvironments to be recognized and so sampled more appropriately which, in turn, may reduce apparent clumping and the wide confidence intervals of benthic population estimates. Because our classification identifies ‘patches’ within the flow regime associated with the stream bed it enables stream ecologists to generate testable hypotheses regarding the distribution and abundance of benthic species in response to flow.5. Our classification identifies spatial patterns in the flow regimes associated with the stream bed. Temporal patterns have not been identified: however, predictable changes in spatial patterns will resuh from temporal changes in stream discharge.

    Notes: This paper examines hydrogeologie effects of proposed diversion of water from the Mediterranean Sea to the Qattara Depression for generation of electricity in northwestern Egypt. The Lower Miocene Moghra aquifer directly underlies the Qattara Depression, extending to the east and dipping beneath younger formations to the north. The Qattara Depression is a sink for ground-water flow from the Nile Delta aquifer in the east, the Mediterranean Sea in the north, and the Nubian artesian aquifer in the south. In this study, a two-dimensional finite-difference model was used in conjunction with available meteorologie, geologic, and hydrologie data to characterize the present ground-water conditions in this aquifer and to make predictions about the water-table rise which could occur as a result of the proposed Qattara Reservoir. Model predictions indicate that creation of the reservoir could cause a 30-meter rise of the Moghra aquifer's water table in the central part of the Qattara Depression. This water-table rise decreases to the north and east. Transient simulations indicate that steady-state conditions in the modeled area of the Moghra aquifer are not likely to be reached during the expected 100-year lifetime of the reservoir.

    Notes: Abstract A freeze-fixation technique was used to examine the distribution of ice crystals and the pattern of freezing in peach flower buds. In dormant buds, ice crystals formed at localized sites within the bud axis and scales. Ice crystal formation disrupted tissues and mechanical injury from repetitive freezethaw cycles was apparent. There was evidence of ice formation in the floral organs of dormant buds exposed to −25°C but none observed in buds exposed to either −5 or −10°C. The distribution of ice crystals was different in deacclimated buds. In addition to large ice crystals within the subtending bud axis and scales, evidence of large crystals within the developing floral organs was noted. These crystals were most prominent in the lower portions of the developing flower and peduncle, and caused a separation of the epidermal layer from adjacent cells. The distribution of ice crystals within both dormant and deacclimated peach flower buds corroborated the results of previous thermal analysis experiments.

    Notes: Abstract. Gas exchange measurements were performed to test the hypothesis that failure of stomata to open in senescing leaves of Nicotiana glauca is caused by elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide in the intercellular spaces of leaf mesophyll tissue (ci). Senescing leaves selected for experiments were completely chlorotic and lacked positive rates of photosynthesis. When stomata in detached epidermis from senescing leaves were illuminated in CO2-free air, they opened to similar apertures as those in detached epidermis from nonsenescing leaves. To compare the effects of changes in ci on stomatal responses of the two leaf types, leaf ‘flags’ of either nonsenescing or senescing leaves were illuminated at a photosynthetic photon flux density of 500 μmol m−2 s−1 in a gas exchange cuvette. Leaf temperatures were maintained at 23.5 ± 0.5°C, and vapour pressure differences between leaves and the air were maintained between 0.70 and 0.75kPa. Ci was adjusted by changing external concentrations of carbon dioxide in air circulating through the cuvette. Conductances and photosynthetic rates of nonsenescing leaves changed in response to changes in ci, but neither the conductances nor the photosynthetic rates of senescing leaves were affected significantly by changes in q. We conclude that guard cells of senescing leaves of Nicotiana glauca do not lose the capacity to respond to changes in carbon dioxide concentration and that increases in ci resulting from declining rates of mesophyll photosynthesis are not the sole cause of maintenance of stomatal closure during leaf senescence. The data suggest that factors external to guard cells may prevent them from responding to changes in carbon dioxide concentrations in intact senescing leaves.

    Notes: We derive the elastostatic field arising from the introduction of a 2-D dipping antiplane crack at the surface of an elastic half-space having a pre-existing uniform field. The problem is equivalent to that of two identical, joined, antiplane cracks in an infinite, uniformly strained medium; each crack is inclined by the same amount from the axis of symmetry, giving rise to a bent crack. For cracks with the same depth of crack tip beneath the surface, the amount of elastic energy released increases with the angle from the vertical. However, the rate of energy release with increasing angle is less than the rate of increase of surface energy. Plane, vertical cracks are favoured energetically in infinite, homogeneous media, while bent cracks are favoured in heterogeneous media where a crack must deviate from straight line growth in order to bypass a high-strength barrier. We compare the trade-offs in total energy of bent cracks with barrier energies.

    Notes: This paper investigates several aspects of synthetic catalogue generation and aftershock identification schemes. First, we introduce a method for generating synthetic catalogues of earthquakes. This method produces a catalogue which has the geographic appearance of an actual catalogue when the hypocentres are plotted in map view, but allows us to vary the spatial and temporal relationships between pairs of close events. Second, we discuss six statistics to measure certain characteristics of synthetic and actual catalogues. These include four new statistics So, Bo, S1 and B1 which evaluate the distributions of link lengths between events in space and space-time as computed by single-link cluster analysis (SLC). Third, we develop a new scheme for identifying aftershocks in which a group of events forms an aftershock sequence if each event is within a space-time distance D of at least one other event in the group. We define the space-time separation of events by dst=√(d2+C2τ2), where d is the spatial separation of events, τ is the time separation, and C= 1km day-1. Our experience with several synthetic catalogues suggests that an appropriate trial value for D is 9.4 km1/2 (√S1) - 25.2 km. Here, S1, is the median link length using SLC with the metric dsT. Fourth, we generate synthetic catalogues resembling both teleseismic and local network catalogues to evaluate the validity and reliability of this aftershock identification scheme, as well as other schemes proposed by Gardner & Knopoff (1974), Shlien & Toksöz (1974), Knopoff, Kagan & Knopoff (1982), and Reasenberg (1985). Using a simple scoring method, we find that the SLC method compares favourably with other aftershock identification algorithms described in the literature.
