    Notes: Acoustic resonance densitometry (ARD) is reported as a method suitable not only for precise investigations into changes of specific gravity in bioreactor media but also as a technique able to provide an accurate wide range and direct determination of cellular mass in fermentation processes. It is further shown that this method can replace present optical procedures, minimizing dilution errors and operator involvement and is suitable for development as an on-line biomass monitoring system.

    Notes: Alcohol dehydrogenase has been covalently attached to the surfaces of nylon stir rods. Several rod types have been evaluated in terms of their mixing efficiency and enzyme loading. Fluorometric monitoring of the rate of conversion of NAD to NADH serves as a measure of the reaction rate under varying conditions. The rate of reaction of the enzyme stir rods has been evaluated in terms of RPM, buffer concentration, NAD reagent concentration, and pH. The rate of reaction is seen to reach a plateau at higher stir rates, indicating a lack of diffusional hindrances. The reaction rate also begins to level off at phosphate buffer concentration of 0.1M to 0.15M. Saturating conditions are reached at an NAD concentration of 2.5mM. The optimum pH is found to be 9.0. The Stability of the covalent bond between the enzyme and the nylon has been assessed by comparing the bond strength to the energies of various disruptive forces to which the enzyme is exposed. Centrifugal, drag, and shear forces are shown to be insufficient to cause rupture of the bond. The stability to the immobilized enzyme preparation has been investigated under varying conditions of immobilization and use. No effect on activity loss was found for rotation rate or for continuous versus intermittent use. It was found that enhanced stability occurred for hydrolytic cleavage of the nylon, using nitric acid, as compared to nonhydrolytic cleavage. Hydrolytic cleavage also led to some degree of adsorption of the enzyme to the surface of the nylon. Thus, the possibility of increased stability to multipoint attachment of the enzyme is discussed. Possible cause of activity loss are discussed, as well as the extension of the enzyme stir rod to use in scale model reactor studies.

    Notes: Acoustic resonance densitometry (ARD) provides a highly reproducible and stable method for on-line measurement of culture biomass density. The technique provides a direct determination of changes in relative density of culture medium and cell mass. At cell concentrations higher than 106 cells mL-1this method can replace cell counts and provide a continuous measure of total cell mass. In cultures of hybridomas or U937 human lymphoma cells, the ARD value correlates well with cell number except when the average cell size changes during culture. It is argued that cell mass determined by ARD rather than cell number should be used as the basis for measurements of specific biological activity.

    Notes: An enriched preparation of rat hepatocyte couplets was obtaied by collagense perfusion and subsequent elutriation (〉 85 per cent couplets and triplets; viability of over 95 per cent).Canalicular secretory activity (the ability to accumulate cholyl-lysyl-fluorescein, CLF) was first apparent after 2 h of culture at 37°C and was present in over 80 per cent of the total population after 5-6 h. This remained almost constant for at least 4 h in both elutriated and directly plated cells. Initial storage of freshly prepared couplets at 4°C for up to 6 h prior to incubation had no adverse effect upon secretory function.Reduction of canalicular secretory activity occurred at a concentration of the hepatotoxic agent menadione (IC50 17 μM) that was lower than that required to induce mild plasma-membrane blebbing (IC50 43 μM).This study has optimized and characterized the canalicular secretory effectiveness and stability of an enriched preparation of hepatocyte couplets, and established the feasibility of studies of toxic agents on hepatobiliary function in a heterogeneous population of hepatocytes. In this preparation other biochemical parameters can be assessed, thus complementing previous techniques using individual couplets.

    Description: We have computed the thermal continuum energy distribution of thermal radiation from the atmospheres of supermassive accretion disks around supermassive black holes. Non-LTE radiative transfer is combined with a model of the vertical structure at each radius appropriate to the low effective gravities of these disks. Locally, the Lyman edge of H can be in emission or absorption. When the emission is summed over the disk with Doppler and gravitational redshifts taken into account, the observed continuum typically shows little sign of a discontinuity near the Lyman edge. For relatively cool disks, the Lyman edge is in absorption, but it appears as a slope change extending over several hundred angstroms, rather than an abrupt discontinuity. Disks around Kerr black holes can explain the observed range of soft X-ray luminosities of AGN, but disks around Schwarzschild holes are much too faint in soft X-rays.

    Description: Ultraviolet observations of nearby galaxies with the ANS are used to derive ultraviolet spectra for different galaxy types. These spectra are used with existing visible spectrophotometry to calculate K-corrections, and to predict colors and magnitudes for various galaxy types as a function of redshifts, to z = 2. No evolutionary effects are considered. It appears that the first-ranked cluster galaxies on blue emulsions should be spirals for z greater than or approximately equal to 0.5.

    Description: Pioneer 10 vector helium magnetometer data acquired in 1972-1973 during Bartels solar rotations 1896-1918 are used to investigate the radial dependences of the distant interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) between 1 and 5 AU. Least-square fits were determined for the radial dependences of the averages of the magnitudes of IMF components and total field and plane projections, and radial fits were prepared for the standard deviations of these variables over the solar rotation, one day, and three-hour intervals. The variation of the weighted averages of the radial component of the field with respect to the heliocentric distance, the variation of the tangential component of the field, and the characteristics of a subset corresponding to a relatively low average solar wind velocity are reported.

    Description: The critial luminosity at which the outward force of radiation balances the inward force of gravity plays an important role in many astrophysical systems. We present expressions for the radiation force on particles with arbitrary cross sections and analyze the radiation field produced by radiating matter, such as a disk, ring, boundary layer, or stellar surface, that rotates slowly around a slowly rotating gravitating mass. We then use these results to investigate the critical radiation flux and, where possible, the critical luminosity of such a system in genral relativity. We demonstrate that if the radiation source is axisymmetric and emission is back-front symmetric with repect to the local direction of motion of the radiating matter, as seen in the comoving frame, then the radial component of the radiation flux and the diagonal components of the radiation stress-energy tensor outside the source are the same, to first order in the rotation rates, as they would be if the radiation source and gravitating mass were not rotating. We argue that the critical radiation flux for matter at rest in the locally nonrotating frame is often satisfactory as an astrophysical benchmark flux and show that if this benchmark is adopted, many of the complications potentially introduced by rotation of the radiation source and the gravitating mass are avoided. We show that if the radiation field in the absence of rotation would be spherically symmetric and the opacity is independent of frequency and direction, one can define a critical luminosity for the system that is independent of frequency and direction, one can define a critical luminosity for the system that is independent of the spectrum and angular size of the radiation source and is unaffected by rotation of the source and mass and orbital motion of the matter, to first order. Finally, we analyze the conditions under which the maximum possible luminosity of a star or black hole powered by steady spherically symmetric radial accretion is the same in general relativity as in the Newtonian limit.

    Description: We have investigated the electrodynamics of magnetic neutron stars accreting from Keplerian disks and the implications for particle acceleration and gamma-ray emission by such systems. We argue that the particle density in the magnetospheres of such stars is larger by orders of magnitude than the Goldreich-Julian density, so that the formation of vacuum gaps is unlikely. We show that even if the star rotates slowly, electromotive forces (EMFs) of order 10(exp 15) V are produced by the interaction of plasma in the accretion disk with the magnetic field of the neutron star. The resistance of the disk-magnetosphere-star circuit is small, and hence these EMFs drive very large conduction currents. Such large currents are likely to produce magnetospheric instabilities, such as relativistic double layers and reconnection events, that can accelerate electrons or ions to very high energies.
