    Bacterial Ingestion by the Rumen Ciliates Entodinium and Diplodinium (1959)

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. In cattle fed a high-starch diet, species of Entodinium and Diplodinium ingested associated ruminal bacteria. Stained preparations of diluted rumen contents showed Entodinium caudatum, E. minimum, E. dubardi, (syn. E. simplex), E. longinucleatum, E. bursa, E. nanellum, E. exiguum, and E. vorax contained gram-positive diplococci. Starch grains with adherent gram-positive diplococci were observed within Entodinium spp. Diplodinium ecaudatum forma ecaudatum, D. ecaudatum forma caudatum, D. neglectum and an unidentified species of Diplodinium also ingested ruminal diplococci. Bacteria were isolated from mixed species of Entodinium by washing and culturing the protozoa in a starch feed-extract agar medium. The strains isolated from the ciliates were gram-positive diplococci, 0.8 times 1–1.5 μm, which attached themselves to starch granules and were able to digest the starch. Conclusive evidence of bacterial ingestion by the oligotrichs was obtained by providing the bacterial cultures to Entodinium species (E. dubardi and E. minimum) which had been starved 24 hr. Gram-stained preparations showed the ciliates readily ingested the bacteria. The amylolytic cocci utilized by Entodinium spp. were identified as Streptococcus bovis.

    PHYSICAL HABITAT OF CETACEANS ALONG THE CONTINENTAL SLOPE IN THE NORTHCENTRAL AND WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO (1998)

    Notes: The physical habitat of cetaceans found along the continental slope in the north-central and western Gulf of Mexico was characterized from shipboard sighting data, simultaneous hydrographic measurements, and satellite remote sensing. The study area was encompassed by the longitude of the Florida-Alabama border (87.5°W), the southernmost latitude of the Texas-Mexico border (26.0°N), and the 100-m and 2,000-m isobaths. Shipboard surveys were conducted seasonally for two years from April 1992 to May 1994. A total of 21,350 km of transect was visually sampled in an area of 154,621 km2.Sighting localities of species in the study area were differentiated most clearly with bottom depth. Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) were consistently found in the shallowest water on the continental shelf and along the shelf break. In addition, the bottom depth gradient (sea floor slope) was less for Atlantic spotted dolphins than for any other species. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) were found most commonly along the upper slope in water significantly deeper than that for Atlantic spotted dolphins. All the other species and species categories were found over deeper bottom depths; these were Risso's dolphins (Grampus griseus), short-finned pilot whales (Glob-icephala macrorhynchus), pygmy/dwarf sperm whales (Kogia spp.), roughtoothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis), spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris), sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), Mesoplodon spp., pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata), Clymene dolphins (Stenella clymene) and unidentified beaked whales (Ziphiidae). Risso's dolphins and short-finned pilot whales occurred along the upper slope and, as a subgroup, were significantly different from striped dolphins, Mesoplodon spp., pantropical spotted dolphins, Clymene dolphins, and unidentified beaked whales, which occurred in the deepest water. Pygmy/dwarf sperm whales, rough-toothed dolphins, spinner dolphins, and sperm whales occurred at intermediate depths between these two subgroups and overlapped them.

    Determination of a steady velocity field in a rotating frame of reference at the surface of the Earth's core (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Geophysical journal international 126 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-246X
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: We relax the steady-motions theorem by solving for a steady velocity field at the surface of the core in a frame of reference drifting at a linear rate with respect to an observer fixed in the mantle frame of reference. We make the frozen-flux approximation, and compare the misfit of the secular variation (SV) predicted by the drifting velocity field with that from a steady velocity field fixed to the mantle frame of reference. The decrease of the misfit to the geomagnetic SV across the period 1960–80 is substantial, but is marginal across the interval 1930–60. The drift rate changes sign at the 1970 geomagnetic‘jerk’epoch, indicating a change in phase speed between the mantle and core flow. The marginal decrease in misfit prior to 1960 is inadequate to fit the SV data, necessitating a more complex drift function or perhaps a fully time-dependent flow. The results suggest that the SV is driven by deep-seated convection rather than from the core-mantle boundary.

    The Impact of EU and UK Environmental Pressures on the Future of Sludge Treatment and Disposal (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Water and environment journal 10 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1747-6593

    Notes: Current and future production of sludge in the UK is estimated, and it is predicted that recycling to agricultural land and incineration (with energy recovery) will be the major disposal options for sludge in the future. Environmental pressures on sludge recycling to land may lead to restrictions on applications in terms of nitrogen content and more stringent limits for metals in soils. Attention to sludge quality and the development of quality management practices in utilization or disposal operations will help to minimize environmental concerns and facilitate sludge disposal to all outlets. Focal points for quality assurance in sludge recycling operations are listed, and environmental pressures on sludge use in agriculture are discussed in detail. Use in agriculture involves recycling a secondary resource, and calling the resource ‘biosolids’ is part of promoting this excellent example of good environmental management.

    The Role of Arachidonic Acid in the Secretion of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) (1996)

    Notes: We have studied the activation of human ml-muscarinic receptors in a genetically engineered Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHO-ml) to determine which second messenger systems affect the secretion of APP via the non-amyloidogenie route. Carbachol activation of the signaling pathways in CHO-ml cells promotes APP secretion by activation of both protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent or Ca++ -dependent second messenger pathways. Both pathways converge to increase the enzyme activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), the enzyme that releases arachidonic acid from cellular stores. Directly activating PLA2 with melittin, a peptide from bee venom, or by adding arachidonic acid directly to cultured cells increases the secretion of APP. Thus, our results indicate that arachidonic acid is yet another cellular second messenger involved in regulating the metabolism of APP in addition to PKC and cytoplasmic Ca++. Moreover, activation of PLA2 appears to be an obligatory event in increasing the secretion of APP from CHO-ml cells by the various methods of activation that we have tried thus far.
