    Notes: Summary Cytokinesis in microsporocytes of moth orchids is unusual in that it occurs simultaneously after meiosis, the cytoplasm does not infurrow in the division planes, and cell plates are deposited in association with centrifugal expansion of phragmoplasts. Microtubules radiating from the nuclear envelopes appear to be of fundamental importance in establishment of division planes. Primary interzonal spindles develop between sister nuclei and interaction of radial microtubules triggers development of secondary interzonal spindles between non-sister nuclei. From three to six or more phragmoplasts, depending upon the arrangement of nuclei in the coenocyte, develop from these postmeiotic arrays. The phragmoplasts consist of co-aligned microtubules and F-actin organized into bundles that are broad proximal to the mid-plane and taper distally. Ultrastructure of the phragmoplast/cell plate reveals that abundant ER is associated with vesicle aggregation and coalescence. Cell plates are deposited in association with phragmoplasts as they expand centrifugally to join the parental wall and/or fuse with one another in the interior of the cell.

    Notes: Summary The unequal first mitosis in pollen ofPhalaenopsis results in a small generative cell cut off at the distal surface of the microspore and a large vegetative cell. No preprophase band of microtubules is present, but polarization of the microspore prior to this critical division is well marked. A generative pole microtubule system (GPMS) marks the path of nuclear migration to the distal surface, and the organelles become unequally distributed. Mitochondria, plastids and dictyosomes are concentrated around the vegetative pole in the center of the microspore and are almost totally excluded from the generative pole. The prophase spindle is multipolar with a dominant convergence center at the GPMS site. The metaphase spindle is disc-shaped with numerous “minipoles” terminating in broad polar regions. In anaphase, the spindle becomes cone-shaped as the spindle elongates and the vegetative pole narrows. These changes in spindle architecture are reflected in the initial shaping of the telophase chromosome groups. F-actin is coaligned with microtubules in the spindle and is also seen as a network in the cytoplasm. An outstanding feature of orchid pollen mitosis is the abundance of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated with the spindle. ER extends along the kinetochore fibers, and the numerous foci of spindle fibers at the broad poles terminate in a complex of ER.

    Notes: The process of synthetic cellulose formation in an acetonitrile-buffer solvent system by enzymatic polymerization of β-cellobiosyl fluoride monomer using cellulase as a catalyst was visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Synthetic cellulose could be observed as soon as 30 s after initiation of the polymerization. A micellar phase separation occurred at the initial stage of the reaction. Irregular aggregates of cellulose were formed at the boundary of the micellar particles, suggesting that the interface is the site of polymerization. The cellulose product after treatment with hot surfactant solution was strongly labeled with cellobiohydrolase I-gold complexes, indicating that the produced polymer is cellulose. The electron diffraction pattern of the product showed the typical pattern of crystal structure of cellulose II.

    Notes: The standard 90° peel test was modified in order to apply it to testing adhesion of thin polymer films to surfaces of silicon substrates, such as the silicon nitride passivation layer used in our solid-state chemical sensors. The goal of this task was to develop a procedure for testing adhesion of both dry and wet films, which would yield repeatable, quantitative results quickly, and with simple sample preparation. It is important to produce valid comparisons of adhesion both over variations of a given polymer composition, and between films made of dissimilar polymer matrices. The method described herein could be applied to adhesion testing of a wide variety of thin polymer layers to solid surfaces.

    Notes: Resonance effects on measured isotope ratios in lead using three-photon one-colour resonance ionization mass spectrometry are discussed. The shape of the ionization signal is considered for the case of a non-monochromatic laser field. The intensity of the laser radiation is adjusted to be low enough not to cause saturation of the transitions. The variation of the measured isotope ratio as a function of laser frequency is considered. It is shown that the deviation of the measured from the expected isotope ratio, for a Lorentzian laser lineshape equals the ratio of the isotope shift to the laser bandwidth. Unfortunately, the background noise in the experiments makes verification of this behaviour difficult for the isotopes of low abundance.

    Notes: The mediation of the glucose oxidase (GOx): glucose reaction by 1,1′-dimethylferrocene (DMF) solubilized in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (hpβCD) was studied. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to examine the effects of complexation with hpβCD on the oxidation potential of DMF through the analysis of half-wave potentials. This indicated a one-to-one complex between DMF and hpβCD, with a formation constant of (1.2 ± 0.3) × 103 M-1 The working potential for electrodes using the mediator complex could be reduced by minimizing the hpβCD concentration, though a lower limit of 2.5 mM was observed for the 0.5 mM DMF solutions used in this work, below which the DMF became insoluble, and its electrochemistry was not well behaved.Cyclic voltammetry measurements at different scan rates were used to determine kinetic-parameters, resulting in a second-order rate constant for the reaction of oxidized DMF with reduced GOx of 3.4 × 104 M-1 s-1 to 1.9 × 104 M-1 s-1 for solutions containing 4 mM to 10 mM hpβCD. These values are on the order of one-quarter the literature value for free DMF and are in the range reported for ferrocene, indicating that the complexed DMF is able to function as an efficient mediator. The rate constant determined for 2.5 mM hpβCD was anomalously high and probably indicated insolubility of the DMF at this hpβCD concentration. A rate constant versus the hpβCD concentration plot was used as an indication of the lower limit of hpβCD concentration at which reproducible results could be obtained.

    Notes: The ion detection process in a discrete-dynode electron multiplier can result in significant mass resolution losses in time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) for higher mass-to-charge (m/z) ion species. This resolution loss is attributed to propagation time delays and signal broadening in the ion detector. This is presumed tobe due to the generation o a distribution of secondary ion species produced initially upon impact of a primary ion with the first ynoe surface of the ion detector. Comparisons are made between the signals produced by a standard discrete dynode ion detector (which amplified the negatively chqrged species produced by impact of a primry ion) and a detector modified to respond to only the positively charged secondary ion species produced by a primary ion impact. Ion signals for higher m/z ions with the standard detector geometry are see to be due to a narrow signal component, most likely due to the generation o secondary electrons and/or very low mass secondary ions (H-), and a broad signal component, apparently due to secondary ions which take signifiant amounts of time to traverse the low potential fields between the first and second detector dynode. This results in ion signal tailing for higher m/z ion species. Numerical subtraction of the ion signal obtained with the standard and modified detector geometries (singly protonated molecular ion species of equine myoglobin) results in an improvement in mass resolution, such that a new adduct ion species (from trifluoroacetic acid) can be resolved.

    Notes: Results are oresented for various instrumental configurations employed for matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry. Mass resolution is determined for a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer for various lengths of the field-free region. A wire ion guide is utilized and is shown to improve ion transport efficiencies for longer field-free regions. It is also determined experimentally that a modest mass resolution increase is often obtained in configurations employing the wire ion guide when compared to the mass resolution obtained with the same geometr without the wire ion guide. Optimal applied potentials are determined for the wire ion guide. No mass dependence on the opitmal applied potential (-100 V) for the wire ion guide is observed for samples of equine myoglobin (MW 16 951.5 Da) and a bacterial protease (MW 27 228.4 Da). The optimal applied voltage was also found to b identical (-100 V) for the singly through quadruply charged molecular ion species of rabbit gamma globulin (MW ≍ 150 000 Da). It is shown that a 2 m flight tube with a wire ion guide provides better signal-to-noise mass spectra than a 1 m flight tube without the wire ion guide and can more than double the mass resolution obtainable. Utilization obtainable. Utilization of a 4 m flight tube gives minimal mass resolution enhancement at the expense of signal-to-noise.

    Notes: Raman spectra of polycrystalline normal and three 15N isotopic ammonium nitrates (15NH4NO3, NH4 15NO3 and 15NH4 15NO3) were recorded at various temperatures between 10 and 300 K. Isotopic shifts of both internal and external modes of the ammonium ion relative to isotopic normal NH4NO3 were observed. Various components of the hetero-ionic coupled internal mode (ν3 of the nitrate ion with ν4′ of the ammonium ion) were assigned with more certainty on the basis of the 15N isotopic shifts. Detailed studies of the temperature dependence of one internal mode (ν1) of the NO3 - ion and several external modes were made. The frequency and half band width versus temperature plots for both the internal mode and the external modes of 15NH4NO3 indicate only one crystal structure (phase V) between 10 and 257 K. Comparison of the frequency shifts between various isotopic compounds in the external mode region permitted a more precise assignment of the lattice modes associated with the NH4+ and NO3- ions to be made.

    Notes: As part of an ongoing program to model hydrocarbon assisted boron combustion, a kinetic model has been developed to describe gasification of the ubiquitous boron oxide coating that inhibits particulate boron ignition. This model includes homogeneous gas phase oxidation reactions, multi-component gas phase diffusion, heterogeneous surface reactions, and oxide vaporization. The kinetic processes are treated using a generalized kinetics code, with embeded sensitivity analysis, for the combustion of a one-dimensional (particle radius), spherical particle.This article presents the heterogeneous surface reactions used to describe oxide gasification and presents selected model results for a spherical boron oxide droplet which illustrate the dependence of the oxide gasification rates on the ambient temperature and particle diameter.
