    Notes: Summary The interaction of density and mycorrhizal effects on the growth, mineral nutrition and size distribution of seedlings of two perennial members of the Fabaceae was investigated in pot culture. Seedlings of Otholobium hirtum and Aspalathus linearis were grown at densities of 1, 4, 8 and 16 plants per 13-cm pot with or without vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal inoculum for 120 days. Plant mass, relative growth rates, height and leaf number all decreased with increasing plant density. This was ascribed to the decreasing availability of phosphorus per plant as density increased. O. hirtum was highly dependent on mycorrhizas for P uptake but both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal A. linearis seedlings were able to extract soil P with equal ease. Plant size distribution as measured by the coefficient of variation (CV) of shoot mass was greater at higher densities. CVs of mycorrhizal O. hirtum plants were higher than those of non-mycorrhizal plants. CVs of the facultatively mycorrhizal A. linearis were similar for both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants. Higher CVs are attributed to resource preemption by larger individuals. Individuals in populations with high CVs will probably survive stress which would result in the extinction of populations with low CVs. Mass of mycorrhizal plants of both species decreased more rapidly with increasing density than did non-mycorrhizal plant mass. It is concluded that the cost of being mycorrhizal increases as plant density increases, while the benefit decreases. The results suggest that mycorrhizas will influence density-dependent population processes of faculative and obligate mycorrhizal species.

    Notes: Abstract The relationship between changes in soil nutrient characteristics and fynbos community boundaries was investigated near Cape Agulhas, South Africa. Soil characteristics relating to total nutrient content (pH, total N and total P, organic carbon, and various cations) were assessed at sites along three transects crossing the boundaries between five plant communities. Dynamics of available N and P in soils of three communities were studied in the field over one year, using ion-exchange resins. There was a wide range in the degree of change in soil nutrient content across different community boundaries. The characteristics that varied most were pH, total N, Ca and total P. Differences in available nutrients among soils indicated that the communities in this landscape were associated with a mosaic of N and P availability. It is proposed that spatial variation in soil nutrient availability rather than total soil nutrient contents may be important in explaining landscape-level species distributions and community composition in nutrient-poor mediterranean-climate ecosystems.

    Notes: Abstract Endoparasitic copepods are very numerous in Indo-West Pacific corals. In West Indian corals they were thought to be absent, but recent studies have shown that a varied endoparasitic copepod fauna exists as well. Striking is the taxonomic composition of the coral-inhabiting copepods: In the Indo-West Pacific Lichomolgidae and Xarifiidae are the dominant families, both are absent in the West Indies. On the other hand, Corallovexiidae and Asterocheridae dominate in the West Indies; the former family is absent and the latter is apparently rare and not very diversified in the Indo-West Pacific.

    Notes: Abstract The discovery of a new species ofRhipidogammarus, Rh. nivariae n. sp., in water supply shafts of Tenerife (Canary Islands), presents an interesting biogeographic problem. Up to now, members of the genus were known exclusively from stygohabitats in the peri-Mediterranean belt. Its sister-genus is found in very shallow waters of the Mediterranean, and on morphological grounds the genus seems to have got adapted only fairly recently to continental hypogean waters. The occurrence of a member ofRhipidogammarus on an oceanic island like Tenerife can be explained by one of the following two scenarios: (1) Tenerife is a fragment of the African plate, or (2) the island's volcanic outcrops arose from a very shallow submarine bank and drifted later into deeper waters.

    Notes: Stahlbleche wurden mittles Gleichstrom-Magnetron-Sputtern mit Titannitrid beschichtet. Durch Variation des Stickstoffdurchflusses konnten Schichten mit unterschiedlicher chemischer Zusammensetzung erhalten werden. Die Schichten wurden mittels Gimmentladungsspektroskopie und einer naßchemischen Methode quantitativ analysiert. Für die naßchemische Analyse wurden die Schichten vom Substrat getrennt, aufgeschlossen und nachfolgend die Elemente Titan mittels Atomabsorptionsspektroskopie und Stickstoff nach Kjeldahl bestimmt. Die Analysenergebnisse zeigen signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Verfahren, die durch die unterschiedlichen verwendeten Standards verursacht werden. So ergibt die GDOS-Analyse im Vergleich zur naßchemischen Analyse für unterstöchiometrische TiNx-Schichten (x 〈 1) zu niedrige Stickstoffgehalte und für etwa stöchiometrische Schichten (x ≈ 1) zu hohe. Aufgrund der Standards kann geschlossen werden, daß die naßchemische Analyse mit einem geringeren systematischen Fehler behaftet ist. Sie ist aber in der Handhabbarkeit der GDOS-Analyse weit unterlegen und eignet sich damit besser für die Kalibration von speziellen Proben, die nachfolgend bei der GDOS-Analyse als Standard eingesetzt werden können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Surface engineering of light weight materials with ion- and plasma-assisted methodsIncreasing applications of light weight materials are expected in the future. Pursuing this trend surface engineering of these materials - especially ion- and plasma-assisted methods - swill be of increasing interest to enhance their wear and corrosion resistance. In a research co-operation some promising methods were examined on different aluminium and titanium alloys to assess their potential to increase the surface properties. Among these were magnetron sputtering of chromium nitride, ion beam assisted deposition of Cr/CrN and Al/A2O3 layers, ion implantation and ion beam assisted nitriding. Compared to the steel substrates the assessment of the mechanical properties such as the critical load of the scratch test of the coated light weight materials is different. Furthermore, it could be shown that both spherical section and glow discharge optical spectroscopy are useful methods to characterize the near-surface zone influenced by ion implantation.
    Notes: Es ist zu erwarten, daß die Anwendungsbreite von Leichtmetall-legierungen in Zukunft noch steigen wird. Mit diesem Trend werden auch oberflächentechnische Methoden - insbesondere ionen- und plasmaunterstützte Verfahren - gefragt sein, um den Verschleiß- und Korrosionswiderstand der Oberflächen zu verbessern. Im Rahmen eines Verbundprojektes wurden verschiedene aussichtsreiche Verfahren untersucht, um ihr Potential zur Verbesserung der Oberflächeneigenschaften von Aluminium- und Titanlegierungen einschätzen zu können. Hierunter befanden sich das Magnetronsputtern von Chromnitrid, die ionenstrahluntersützte Abscheidung von Cr/CrN- und Al/A2O3Schichten, die Ionenimplantation und das Ionenstrahlnitrieren. Im Vergleich mit beschichteten Stahlsubstraten ergeben sich Unterschiede bei der Einschätzung wichtiger mechanischer Eigenschaften, wie der im Ritztest ermittelten kritischen Last. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden daß sowohl der Kalottenschliff als auch die Glimmentladungspektroskopie gut geeignet sind, die durch Ionenimplantation beeinflußte Randzone zu charakterisieren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Temperature of cutting tools by thin filmsDuring the cutting process, cutting tools are exposed to complex mechanical, thermal, dynamic and tribological loads. Especially in the case of dry machining the demands on cutting tools are very high. Dry machining becomes more and more interesting because of tightened up ecolaws and increased costs for the handling of coolants. Due to a renunciation on coolants the cutting tools need to be modified to the process of dry machining. Thereby modern plasma and ion based surface technologies can be used to deposit a thin film adopting the functions of coolants, e.g. cooling and lubricating.In this research project several coating types, e.g. titanium and chromium based coatings, where developed and characterized regarding their mechanical, tribological and thermal properties. For the research, four partners collaborated permuting all steps of surface and coatings design. Materials Science Institute (WW), Aachen University of Technology, performed the development of PVD coatings and the thermophysical characterization by thermal wave analysis. Surface modifications of uncoated and coated tools by ion beam assisted deposition were carried out at Stiftung Institut für Werkstofftechnik (IWT), Bremen. To determine the cutting properties of coated tools, practical tests were performed at Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL), Aachen University of Technology.
    Notes: Zerspanwerkzeuge sind während ihres Einsatzes einem komplexen und schwer zu erfassenden Beanspruchungskollektiv ausgesetzt. Dieses wird besonders durch die aus ökonomischen und ökologischen Gründen angestrebte Trockenzerspanung beeinflußt. Der vollständige Verzicht auf Kühlschmierstoffe bedeutet aus technologischer Sicht, daß Werkzeuge, Schneidstoffe und Zerspanoperationen auf die Bedingungen der Trockenzerspanung umgestellt werden müssen. Dabei bieten moderne ionen-und plasmagestütze Oberflächentechnologien insofern einen Lösungsansatz, daß durch Beschichtungen bzw. Oberflächenmodifikationen wichtige Aufgaben der Kühlschmiermittel durch den beschichteten Schneidstoff selbst übernommen werden können. Dies sind vor allem der Ersatz von Schmierung und Kühlung.Für den Bereich der Trockenzerspanung wurden im Rahmen eines Verbundvorhabens u.a Titanbasisschichten sowie Chrombasisschichten entwickelt und hinsichtlich der physikalischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Durch die enge Zusammenarbeit der beteiligten Forschungsstellen konnte das jeweils vorhandene Erfahrungspotential vollständig in die Schichtsystementwicklung einfließen. Diese umfaßte alle iterativen Schritte des Schichtmodifikation, begleitende Schichtanalytik bis hin zum Praxistest. So war beispielsweise das Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Werkstoffwissenschaften der RWTH Aachen für die Schichtentwicklung sowie fü die thermophysikalische Charakterisierung der Schichten zuständig. Die Stiftung Institut für Werkstofftechnik, Bremen, führte eine Optimierung der Interfaces und der Hartstoffschichten mittels ionenstrahlgestützter Beschichtungsverfahren durch. So konnte das Substrat vor bzw. die Hartstoffschicht nach der Beschichtung an den Anwendungsfall angepaßt werden. Die Untersuchung hinsichtlich der Praxistauglichkeit der beschichteten Schneidstoffe erfolgte am Werkzeugmaschinenlabor der RWTH Aachen durch entsprechende Zerspanversuche.
