    Notes: Summary Immunofluorescence and TEM studies of meiosis in two mosses (Bryophyta) provide evidence that the prophasic tetrahedral system of microtubules contributes directly to the metaphase I spindle. Intense staining of tubulin, conspicuously absent around the nuclear envelope, is first seen associated with plastids. By mid-prophase, microtubules radiate from the plastids to the nuclear envelope and become organized into six bands that interconnect the four plastids, forming a tetrahedral cytoskeleton surrounding the nucleus. During transition of prophase to metaphase, the four poles of the tetrahedral microtubule system converge in pairs toward opposite cleavage furrows. Opposite furrows occupy mutually perpendicular planes and the pair of microtubule focal points straddling one furrow lies at right angles to the pair straddling the opposite furrow. Additional microtubules terminate in numerous small clusters in the concave polar regions arching over the cleavage furrows. By early anaphase, the microtubule focal points lie very close to the division axis. We conclude that microtubules recruited from the prophasic quadripolar system are incorporated into the mature metaphase I spindle and the two principal focal points at each pole are those derived from poles of the prophasic quadripolar system.

    Preprophasic microtubule systems and development of the mitotic spindle in hornworts (Bryophyta) (1988)

    Notes: Summary Studies of monoplastidic mitosis in hornworts (Bryophyta) using transmission electron microscopy and indirect immunofluorescence staining of microtubules have revealed that two mutually perpendicular microtubule systems predict division polarity in preprophase. Events of cytoplasmic reorganization in preparation for division occur in the following order: migration of the single plastid to a position perpendicular to the division site, constriction of the plastid where its midpoint intersects the division site, development of an axial system of microtubules parallel to the elongating plastid isthmus, and appearance of an atypical preprophase band of microtubules (PPB). The PPB is asymmetrical with a tight band of microtubules on the side over the plastid isthmus and a broad band of widely spaced microtubules over the nucleus. The axial system contributes directly to development of the spindle. In prometaphase, the axial system separates at the equator and additional microtubule bundles project from polar regions, creating two opposing halfspindles. The PPB is still present during asymmetrical organization of the spindle and microtubules extending from the broad portion of the PPB to poles appear to be incorporated into the developing spindle. Dynamic changes in the microtubular cytoskeleton demonstrate (1) intimate relationship of plastid and nuclear division, (2) contribution of preprophase/prophase microtubule systems to spindle development in monoplastidic cells, and (3) dynamic reorientation of microtubules from one system to another.

    Notes: Summary First and second division spindles and the three cell plates of moss meiosis are oriented in accordance with polarity established during meiotic prophase. Plastids are located at the second division poles and cytoplasmic infurrowing marks the planes along which the cytoplasm will cleave into four spores. Anaphase I spindles that terminate in two focal points of microtubules straddling opposite cleavage furrows reflect the unusual tetrahedral origin of the functionally bipolar spindle. The organelles (except for the plastids which remain in the four cytoplasmic lobes) are polarized in the first division equatorial region at the time of phragmoplast microtubule assembly and remain in a distinct band after microtubule disassembly. Prophasic spindles appear to be directly transformed into metaphase II spindles in the predetermined axes between mutually perpendicular pairs of plastids. Cell plates form by vesicle coalescence in the equatorial regions of the two sets of second division phragmoplasts at approximately the same time as a cell plate belatedly forms in the organelle band. The cytoplasmic markers (plastid migration, cytoplasmic lobing and infurrowing) that predict poles and cleavage planes in free cells lacking a preprophase band strongly strengthens the concept that division sites are capable of preserving preprogrammed signals that can be triggered later in the process of cell division.

    Solutal Convection and Its Effects on Crystal Growth and Segregation in Binary and Pseudo-Binary System with Large Liquidus-Solidus Separation (1985)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: This research program is composed of theoretical and experimental studies of solutal convection and its effects on crystal growth and segregation in binary and pseudo-binary systems with large liquidus-solidus separation. The theoretical program has resulted in the development of a transient simulation of the growth of concentrated alloys in microgravity and has been used to study the dynamics of GeSi, PbSnTe, HgCdTe growth. Finite element analysis has also been developed for studying the interactions of buoyancy-driven convection in the melt caused by temperature and concentration variations with melt-solid interface morphology and alloy segregation in the grown crystal. These calculations are being compared directly to experimental measurements of segregation and interface shape for GeSi growth and GaGe growth. The results for SiGe indicate that careful design of the thermal system can result in almost diffusion-controlled growth on Earth because of the stablizing influence of the concentration gradient ahead of the solidification front.

    Modelling of Laser-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (1985)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Research is directed at development of a detailed model of mass and heat transfer and chemical reaction in the pyrolysis of silane for the growth of thin amorphous silicon substrates incorporating laser heating of the gas phase above the film. The model will be the basis for evaluation of the relative importances of the decomposition of SiH4 in the vapor phase, mass transfer of the intermediate species, e.g., SiH2, and the evolution of hydrogen gas. Plans are also underway for developing a model for homogeneous nucleation of Si in the vapor phase to model the rate limitations observed at high gas-phase temperatures and high partial pressures of silane. Work was concentrated on an almost one-dimensional model for the coupling of the CO2 laser beam for heat transfer of the vapor phase with simple kinetic models for SiH4 decomposition and subsequent absorption of Si vapor on the substrate. Mass transfer in the vapor phase is assumed to be solely by diffusion. The role of convection in the vapor phase caused by the large changes in density in and around the center of the laser beam will be analyzed to evaluate the potential of microgravity experiments for increasing the uniformity of the film and the deposition rate.

    Fluid Flow in Crystal Growth: Analysis of the Verticle Bridgman and Floating Zone Process (1985)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Research is aimed at the fundamental understanding of the interactions of heat and mass transport and fluid mechanics in crystal growth from the melt, especially in how it pertains to experiments supported by the Microgravity Science and Applications program. Emphasis has been on studies of the vertical Bridgman system, on small-scale floating zone systems proposed for space flight, and on quantitative prediction of nonlinear transitions in melt/solid interface morphologies leading to the formation of dendrites in directional solidification. The analysis of vertical Bridgman growth has lead to the complete numerical analysis of transport phenomena in directional solidification and to a detailed comparison of calculations to the GaGe growth experiments of Wang and Witt. Calculations show the central role of the ampoule material in determining the radial temperature gradients in the melt and thus, the intensity of convection. Results indicate that diffusion-controlled growth can not be achieved on Earth with conventional growth systems, but are feasible in microgravity
