    Notes: Rigor mortis occurs in bovine neck muscles as soon as pH 5.9 and an ATP level of about 1 μMol/g are reached. At 20°C muscle contraction does not occur before the onset of rigor. Postmortem changes in water-holding capacity (WHC) were followed by measuring the cooking loss of unsalted and salted (2% NaCl) muscle homogenates prepared after storage of the intact muscle tissue at 20°C for different periods postmortem. At tissue pH above 5.9 addition of salt causes a strong increase of WHC of muscle homogenates. There is a small decrease of WHC of both unsalted and salted homogenates during the prerigor phase which is apparently caused by the postmortem fall of pH. Rigor mortis does not influence the WHC of unsalted muscle homogenates but causes a strong decrease of WHC of salted homogenates. The reason for this difference is discussed. No more than one-third of the total postmortem decrease of WHC and protein solubility in salted muscle homogenates was attributed to the fall of pH, so at least two-thirds were due to the development of rigor.

    Influence of Postmortem Changes in Bovine Muscle on the Water-Holding Capacity of Beef. Postmortem Storage of Muscle at Various Temperatures Between 0 and 30°C (1981)

    Notes: Bovine neck muscles were incubated between 0° and 30°C soon after slaughter. At different times postmortem biochemical and physical parameters and cooking loss in homogenates with or without salt were measured. The rate of pH fall in muscle depends on the incubation temperature. At 0.5°C the pH drops fast at first, leveling off afterwards but between 7° and 14°C there is an initial lag period of 2-3 hr. At 30°C no lag phase occurs. The increased rate of postmortem metabolism at 0.5°C is accompanied by cold shortening which occurs before onset of rigor and is followed by little rigor shortening. Above 16°C rigor shortening increases with rising temperature without prerigor contraction. Neither shortening nor development of rigor have an immediate influence of WHC of muscle and unsalted muscle homogenates; the small decrease of WHC postmortem is due to pH fall only and independent of temperature. Salted homogenates prepared from muscles at different time postmortem show above pH 6.0 a similar relationship between pH and WHC. At the onset of rigor mortis (pH 5.9), however, the WHC of the salted homogenate decreases strongly. The practical consequences of these results with regard to processing of beef are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. The characterization of a block copolymer consisting of blocks of tetrahydrofuran, THF, and methyl methacrylate, MMA, was attempted with the aid of liquid chromatography, LC, at the critical adsorption point, CAP. The conditions applying to the CAP at 30 °C for the homopolymers are: PTHF: eluent composition: THF : acetonitrile = 50 : 50, w/w; column: Nucleosil C18. PMMA: eluent composition: THF : n-hexane = 81.8 : 18.2, w/w; column: bare silica gel. The presence of homo PTHF and of homo PMMA in the crude block copolymer was evidenced. Moreover, chromatography at the CAP for PMMA showed that the block copolymer contains multiblock (triblock) fractions. The formation of triblock copolymer is expected when the polymerization of MMA is terminated (partially) by combination. In conclusion, LC at the CAP is a powerful tool to characterize block copolymers regarding the presence of homopolymer and multiblock (triblock) fractions.

    Notes: Abstract Pseudobinary molybdenum cluster tellurides (Chevrel phases) with mixed transition metal clusters of the type M x Mo6−x Te8 (M = Pt, Os, Ru, Rh) and the binary phase Mo6Te8 have been synthesized, structurally characterized and electrochemically investigated with respect to their electrocatalytic properties for oxygen reduction. A correlation of the number of electrons per cluster unit (NEC) with the open circuit potential (o.c.p.) in saturated oxygen electrolyte was found. The limitation of the o.c.p. values are due to the mixed potential developed with each electrode material due to molybdenum oxidation. The lowest corrosion tendency and highest catalytic activity are found in the telluride phases when NEC (in the valence band) approaches 24.

    LiNbO3 with the damage-resistant impurity indium (1995)

    Notes: Abstract We report on a detailed investigation (EPR, SHG, optical absorption, luminescence and Raman scattering) on the new damage-resistant impurity indium in LiNbO3, where the increased photoconductivity strongly reduces the photorefractive effect. EPR and optical absorption measurements point to a complete disappearance of the Nb antisite in LiNbO3: In for all In concentrations. We believe that the very effective driving out of Nb antisites by In is due to the trivalent charge state of In and the possibility of charge self-compensation. Similarities in the properties of Mg-, Zn- or Indoped samples are discussed. Simultaneous doping with In and Zn leads to an addition of both contributions, in particular for optical frequency doubling and luminescence. Raman studies prove that In does not improve the stoichiometry of the crystals. Indium doping provides the possibility to control simultaneously phase-matching conditions and to reduce drastically photorefraction. Therefore, In co-doped LiNbO3 compositions are promising materials for applications after solving contemporary growth problems.

    Inhibition of respiratory oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds by intact cells ofThiobacillus denitrificans (strain RT) grown on thiosulfate (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Thiobacillus denitrificans strain RT, an obligate sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotroph, was grown under microaerophilic conditions with thiosulfate as the only energy source. The rates of tetrathionate, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur (So) and sulfite oxidation were measured respirometrically with an oxygen electrode, using actively growing cells. Cells oxidized thiosulfate, elemental sulfur (So) and sulfite, but not tetrathionate. The thiosulfateoxidizing activity and elemental sulfur-oxidizing activity (SOA) were almost totally inhibited by 50 μM myxothiazol (〉80%), an inhibitor of the quinone-cytochrome b region, and by 10 μM of the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) (〉82%). Sulfite-oxidizing activity was also significantly inhibited (〉60%) by 50 μM myxothiazol and 10 μM CCCP. 1 mM KCN totally inhibited (〉90%) all respiratory activities. This study confirms that a sulfur-oxidizing activity appears during microaerophilic growth ofThiobacillus denitrificans strain RT on thiosulfate. The SOA is linked to the respiratory chain, probably releasing electrons in the quinone-cytochrome b region.

    The Meso-NH Atmospheric Simulation System. Part I: adiabatic formulation and control simulations (1997)

    Notes: Abstract The Meso-NH Atmospheric Simulation System is a joint effort of the Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques and Laboratoire d’Aérologie. It comprises several elements; a numerical model able to simulate the atmospheric motions, ranging from the large meso-alpha scale down to the micro-scale, with a comprehensive physical package, a flexible file manager, an ensemble of facilities to prepare initial states, either idealized or interpolated from meteorological analyses or forecasts, a flexible post-processing and graphical facility to visualize the results, and an ensemble of interactive procedures to control these functions. Some of the distinctive features of this ensemble are the following: the model is currently based on the Lipps and Hemler form of the anelastic system, but may evolve towards a more accurate form of the equations system. In the future, it will allow for simultaneous simulation of several scales of motion, by the so-called –interactive grid-nesting technique”. It allows for the in-line computation and accumulation of various terms of the budget of several quantities. It allows for the transport and diffusion of passive scalars, to be coupled with a chemical module. It uses the relatively new Fortran 90 compiler. It is tailored to be easily implemented on any UNIX machine. Meso-NH is designed as a research tool for small and meso-scale atmospheric processes. It is freely accessible to the research community, and we have tried to make it as –user-friendly” as possible, and as general as possible, although these two goals sometimes appear contradictory. The present paper presents a general description of the adiabatic formulation and some of the basic validation simulations. A list of the currently available physical parametrizations and initialization methods is also given. A more precise description of these aspects will be provided in a further paper.

    Interplay between humans and infective agents: a population genetic study (1998)

    Notes: Abstract The genetic composition of present day human populations is determined largely by the interaction between the human host and infective agents. Therefore, theoretical analysis of the host-infective-agent system is required in order for us to be able to understand human evolution. Classical population genetics has been confined largely to analysing the interplay of various mechanisms, such as selection, mutation and drift, in one species at a time. Unfortunately, there have been few studies of such interactive systems. In the present investigation, these studies have been enlarged, with problems of human genetics in mind, by mathematical examination of a model in which a diploid host with three alleles interacts with a haploid infective agent with two alleles. The results are compared with those obtained from simpler models analysed in the past. The assumptions inherent in such “gene for gene” models and our results are discussed. An increase in the number of alleles appears to enhance the chances for the establishment of permanent genetic polymorphisms, improving genetic “elasticity” of a population for coping with changing challenges by various infective agents. Interaction between two haploid species leads to a loss of polymorphism in both of them and, hence, to a severe loss of evolutionary elasticity. The hypothesis that the evolution of diploidy might have been favoured by a selective advantage of diploid organisms interacting with environmental challenges, such as infective agents, is supported.

    Notes: Abstract We present an overview of the variety of databases and programs that offer substantial aid to medical and molecular geneticists. Databases and expert systems for genetic diseases and birth defects, programs for segregation and linkage analysis, certain DNA and protein sequence databases, and information resources in general for molecular biology are addressed. These systems cannot be used effectively without the newly developed techniques of information exchange based on international computer networks. A short introduction is given to the Internet and to European institutions and organizations that offer help with the aquisition and use of bioinformatic resources.
