    Notes: Abstract. When C is a ball in ${\Bbb R}^d$ and S is the sphere $\partial C$ , we say that S supports a convex body B if S intersects B and either $B\subseteq C$ (then S is a far support) or the interior of C is disjoint from B (then S is a near support). The focus here is on common supports for a system $\cal B$ of d+1 bodies in ${\Bbb R}^d$ such that for each way of selecting a point from each member of ${\cal B}$ , the selected points are affinely independent and hence form the vertex-set of a d-simplex. The main result asserts that if $({\cal B}',{\cal B}'')$ is an arbitrary partition of ${\cal B}$ , then there exists a unique Euclidean sphere that is simultaneously a near support for each member of ${\cal B}'$ and a far support for each member of ${\cal B}''$ .

    Notes: Abstract In southern British Columbia the terrestrial heat flow is low (44 mW m−2) to the west of the Coast Plutonic Complex (CPC), average in CPC (50–60 mW m−2),and high to the east(80–90 mW m−2). The average heat flow in CPC and the low heat generation (less than 1 μW m−3) indicate that a relatively large amount of heat flows upwards into the crust which is generally quite cool. Until two million years ago the Explorer plate underthrust this part of the American plate, carrying crustal material into the mantle. Melted crustal rocks have produced the inland Pemberton and Garibaldi volcanic belts in the CPC. Meager Mountain, a volcanic complex in the CPC 150 km north of Vancouver, is a possible geothermal energy resource. It is the product of intermittent activity over a period of 4 My, the most recent eruption being the Bridge River Ash 2440 y B.P. The original explosive eruption produced extensive fracturing in the granitic basement, and a basal explosion breccia from the surface of a cold brittle crust. This breccia may be a geothermal reservoir. Other volcanic complexes in the CPC have a similar potential for geothermal energy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Unter Benutzung des Maximumprinzips für subharmonische Funktionen werden obere Schranken angegeben für den Gradienten des Neumannschen Problems der Potential-Theorie. Diese Schranken betreffen einem gekrümmten Streifenbereich mit von Null verschiedenen Grenzdaten an einem Ende und haben zur Folge, dass der Betrag des Gradienten exponentiell mit dem Abstand von diesem Ende abfällt.
    Notes: Abstract The maximum principle for subharmonic functions is used to obtain upper bounds for the gradient in the Neumann problem of potential theory. These bounds, which concern a curvilinear strip domain having nonzero boundary data only on an end, entail an exponential decay of the gradient magnitude with distance from that end.

    Notes: Several bacterial strains were examined for their ability to degrade the nitroaromatic explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The strains examined included various clostridial strains isolated from a 4-year-old munition enrichment, related clostridial strains obtained from a culture collection, two enteric bacteria, and three lactobacilli. All Clostridium species tested were able to reduce TNT rapidly in a complex medium. In cell suspension experiments, these strains were also able to reduce 2,4-diamino-6-nitrotoluene (DANT) to 2,4,6-triaminotoluene (TAT) and to produce a compound that is not yet identified; thus, they could not be distinguished from one another with regard to the pathway of transformation. The enteric strains and the lactobacilli were able to perform the initial reduction of TNT, but none was capable of reducing DANT in cell suspensions.

    Notes: The manufacture and decommissioning of explosives has generated, and continues to generate, large quantities of waste material whose primary toxic and mutagenic component is 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The magnitude of this problem has motivated a great deal of research into treatment processes and environmental fate studies, including characterization of microbial transformations of TNT. This work has encompassed studies with mixed cultures and pure cultures of microorganisms derived from either TNT-exposed or unexposed sources, and studies using microorganisms chosen for their known capacities to degrade other pollutants. Several of these studies are discussed with regard to whether they identified a process that may lead to the complete detoxification or mineralization of TNT. Since oxygen can have a significant influence on the types of biochemical reactions that can occur and on the oxidation of intermediates of TNT transformation processes, studies in which oxygen was not excluded are discussed separately from studies conducted under anaerobic conditions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'étude çi-dessous traite de la qualité de l'approximation des coques minces appliquée aux problèmes de torsion asymétrique des coques élastiques de révolution, problème déjà considéré par Ho et Knowles [1]. L'objectif des deux études est d'évaluer en chaque point, par la théorie de l'élasticité en trois limensions, les erreurs conséquentes à l'utilisation de la théorie de l'approximation des coques. Le problème mathématique consiste à obtenir une estimation explicite en chaque point des gradients pour les solutions d'équations elliptiques uniformes du deuxième ordre, homogènes et non-homogènes, problème d'un interêt qui dépasse le présent contexte. Nous utilisons ici une technique basée sur le principe du maximum pour de telles équations, par contraste avec les raissonnements utilisant des thegalités énergétiques. Les exemples particuliers des coques de révolution cylindriques, sphériques et coniques sont discutés en détail. Dans les deux premiers cas, nous montrons que la solution par la théorie des coques est en fait une solution exacte dans le sens de Saint-Venant. Des estimations asymptotiques des erreurs dans le cas de coques de révolution plus générales sont également données.
    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with the question of assessing the quality of approximate thin shell solutions for the problem of axisymmetric torsion of elastic shells of revolution, an issue previously considered by Ho and Knowles [1]. In both works, the objective is to obtain pointwise estimates, based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, for the errors involved in using an approximate shell theory. The mathematical problem is that of obtaining explicit pointwise gradient estimates for the solutions of homogeneous and nonhomogeneous second-order uniformly elliptic equations, an issue of interest beyond the present context. In contrast to arguments using energy inequalities, here we apply a technique based on maximum principles for such equations. The particular examples of cylindrical, spherical and conical shells of revolution are discussed in detail. In the former two cases, it is shown that the shell theory solution is in fact an exact elasticity solution in the Saint-Venant sense. Asymptotic error estimates for general shells of revolution are also given.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume On dérive des représentations par intégrales curvilignes de la solution du problème aux conditions limites de traction élasto-statique dans le demi espace. On applique, pour des régions de charge de forme essentiellement arbitraire, ces représentations par intégrales curvilignes à l'analyse des singularités de tension qui apparaissent aux bords de la région de charge.
    Notes: Abstract Line-integral representations for the solution of the elastostatic traction boundary-value problem of the half space are derived for the case of polyharmonic surface loading. For load regions of essentially arbitrary shape, bearing uniform tractions, these line-integral representations are applied to the analysis of the stress singularities present at the edges of the load region.

    Notes: The optical path difference of nitrocellulose fibers and pastes were measured on the polarizing microscope using three different compensation techniques, and a method is suggested for converting these path differences into birefringencies. By taking measurements on a sufficiently large number of fibers it is possible to estimate the average nitrogen content with an accuracy approaching that achieved by other methods on much larger samples. The distribution of nitrogen between individual fibers shows that material prepared by the displacement process differs from that made by the mechanical process and indicates that denitration occurs during displacement process manufacture. Solvents and plasticizers either increase or decrease the birefringence, and the structure of nitrocellulose pastes is discussed.

    Notes: Wear testing should be an important part of the investigations into the physical and mechanical properties of some dental materials. It has, however, largely been ignored because of conflicting and unreproducible results. It was decided, therefore, to review the work done by other researchers and to examine the human masticatory cycle, and then present new parameters to design and construct a new dental abrasion testing machine. This new machine is described in detail and its capabilities briefly illustrated.
