    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer Population von Euphydryas aurinia (Rottemburg) bei Oxford, England treten während einer Generation von E. aurinia drei Normalgenerationen von Apanteles bignellii Marshall auf. Jede Generation des Parasitoids kann charakterisiert werden durch das befallende Wirtsstadium und durch die aus einem Wirt schlüpfende Zahl Parasitoide. Parasitoide schlüpfen in Normalgenerationen aus dem 3., dem 4. und dem 6. Stadium des Wirts; in Ausnahmegenerationen schlüpfen sie aus dem 2. und 5. Stadium. Bis zu 70 Parasitoide können aus einer Altraupe (6. Stadium) schlüpfen und die Dauer dieses Stadiums kann bis auf 2 Wochen verlängert werden. Die Ausnahmegenerationen von A. bignellii aus Zweitlarven dürften aus Eiablagen in frühe Erstlarven stammen. Fünftlarven des Wirts, aus denen Parasitoide schlüpfen, sind ungewöhnlich klein und fressen nicht; sie dürften das Resultat sein eines Uebermasses von Apenteles-Eiern, die in frühe Viertlarven gelegt wurden. Die Synchronisation zwischen dem Parasitoiden und dem Wirt während der Zeit, da E. aurinia im Puppen-, Adult- oder Eistadium ist, wird aufrechterhalten durch ein verlängertes Coconstadium von Apanteles. Die Puppen des Parasitoiden entwickeln sich normal und die Adulten schlüpfen, bleiben aber bis 4 Wochen lang im Cocon, bevor sie sich eine Ausgangsöffnung machen. Das Wetter kann den Parasitierungsgrad der letzten Wirtsstadien beeinflussen. Wenn der Frühling kalt ist mit klarem Himmel, kann die Synchronisierung zwischen Parasitoiden, die aus Viertlarven des Wirts schlüpfen und potentiellen Fünft- und Sechtstlarven des Wirts schlecht werden. Die Entwicklung von Apanteles-Puppen wird durch die Umgebungstemperatur beeinflusst, während E. aurinia-Larven ihre Temperatur erhöhen, indem sie sich sonnen und deshalb rasch wachsen. Wenn die Parasitoiden unter solchen Bedingungen schlüpfen, sind die meisten potentiellen Wirte schon verpuppt und damit nicht mehr geeignet für die Parasitierung. Die Mechanismen der Synchronisation und der Wettereinfluss auf diese Vorgänge wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Abstract The gregarious endoparasite, Apanteles bignellii Marshall is specific to the nymphalid butterfly, Euphydryas aurinia (Rottemburg) in the British Isles. The synchronisation between host and parasitoid is described at a site near Oxford, England where both occur. Three regular generations of A. bignellii occur in one generation of the host in the studied population. Relevant features of the biology of A. bignellii and E. aurinia are described, including a method of distinguishing the number of Apanteles larval instars based upon shed cuticle remnants. Mechanisms for host-parasitoid synchronisation are outlined, especially a protracted parasitoid cocoon stage when the host is unavailable for attack during the chrysalis, adult and egg stages. Cool, but sunny weather conditions in spring can influence the degree of parasitisation experienced by final instar host caterpillars. The timing of adult A. bignellii emergence and subsequent attack on early instar hosts can lead to additional, partial, generations of parasitoids from second and fifth instar hosts.

    Notes: Abstract Free films of two commercially available formulations of aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion differing only in plasticizer content (Surelease/E-7-7050 without silica and E-7-7060 containing dibutyl sebacate and glyceryl tricaprylate/caprate as plasticizers, respectively) were cast and coalesced at temperatures ranging between 30 and 70°C. Mechanical properties of these films were measured using tensile stress analysis. Three mechanical parameters, namely, tensile strength, work of failure, and elastic modulus, were computed from the load-time profiles of these films. The results showed that the tensile strength and elastic modulus values of the films cast from both formulations increased with the corresponding increase in coalescence temperature up to 60°C, beyond which no significant differences were observed. In the case of work of failure, however, the difference between the two formulations was observed above 60°C. The films cast from Surelease/E-7-7050 formulation without silica (dibutyl sebacate as the plasticizer) were relatively softer than those from Surelease/E-7-7060 formulation (glyceryl tricaprylate/caprate as the plasticizer). At coalescence temperatures above 50°C, the films cast from both formulations exhibited temperature-dependent plastic deformation.

    Notes: Abstract Formulation and process variables play an important role in the film-forming properties of coating polymers. Three selected independent coating process variables, namely, percent solids content in the coating polymeric dispersion, inlet-air temperature, and spray rate of the polymeric dispersion, were investigated in this study to determine their effect on the performance characteristics of tablets coated with a plasticized aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion (Surelease) in a fluid-bed equipment. Response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to study the complex relationship between these process variables and selected response variables. Three response variables were considered, namely, rate of drug release from the “untreated” coated tablets and the “thermal-treated” coated tablets and microindentation hardness of the untreated coated tablets. A 12-point factorial experimental design was utilized, and three-dimensional (3-D) response surface plots were generated using a second-order polynomial model. The model provided information needed to predict optimal process conditions. Drug release from the coated tablets followed zero-order kinetics. Inlet-air temperature was found to be the most critical process variable for all the three response variables studied. A correlation was observed between the drug release rate and the microindentation hardness of the applied polymeric coat in the case of untreated coated tablets. The 3-D response surface plots indicated that lower rates of drug release from the coated tablets may be obtained by using high inlet-air temperature and low spray rate of the polymeric dispersion during coating.

    Notes: Abstract We describe a protocol for the synchronisation of normal and tumour cells grown in suspension cultures using 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one iron chelators. These compounds inhibit ribonucleotide reductase, one of the rate limiting enzymes in DNA synthesis, and so block the cell cycle in late G1 phase. After removal of the chelator or repletion of cellular iron, cells progress through the cycle and remain synchronised for at least one full cell cycle. Cell viability is unaffected for at least 72 hours post-incubation and chelator treatment has no effect on RNA and protein synthesis. This method of synchronisation has been successful with all cell lines tested including normal and leukaemic human cell lines.
