    Importance of AMPA receptors for hippocampal synaptic plasticity but not for spatial learning (1999)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1999-06-12
    Description: Gene-targeted mice lacking the L-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptor subunit GluR-A exhibited normal development, life expectancy, and fine structure of neuronal dendrites and synapses. In hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, GluR-A-/- mice showed a reduction in functional AMPA receptors, with the remaining receptors preferentially targeted to synapses. Thus, the CA1 soma-patch currents were strongly reduced, but glutamatergic synaptic currents were unaltered; and evoked dendritic and spinous Ca2+ transients, Ca2+-dependent gene activation, and hippocampal field potentials were as in the wild type. In adult GluR-A-/- mice, associative long-term potentiation (LTP) was absent in CA3 to CA1 synapses, but spatial learning in the water maze was not impaired. The results suggest that CA1 hippocampal LTP is controlled by the number or subunit composition of AMPA receptors and show a dichotomy between LTP in CA1 and acquisition of spatial memory.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zamanillo, D -- Sprengel, R -- Hvalby, O -- Jensen, V -- Burnashev, N -- Rozov, A -- Kaiser, K M -- Koster, H J -- Borchardt, T -- Worley, P -- Lubke, J -- Frotscher, M -- Kelly, P H -- Sommer, B -- Andersen, P -- Seeburg, P H -- Sakmann, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jun 11;284(5421):1805-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Neuroscience, Max-Planck Institute for Medical Research, Jahnstrasse 29, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10364547" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Ribbons of molten polypropylene have been extruded into a thermostatted chamber and subjected to elongations ranging as high as 4400-fold. Some of these ribbons have been shown to possess the unusual ability of recovering nearly all of the strain from large levels of stretch (≤100 percent). This property, as well as the magnitude of the tensile yield drop, has been found to be directly proportional to the uniaxial character of the flow present at the moment of crystallization. The structure in the final solid films has been characterized by wide angle X-ray diffraction and crystal orientation distribution. Both of these factors have been found to be proportional to the character of flow at the moment of crystallization. Finally, the temperature in the thermostatted chamber has been shown to affect the character of the flow.

    Crystal nucleation in sheared polymer melts (1978)
    Stamford, Conn. [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: A semiquantitative procedure has been developed for analyzing crystal nucleation in undercooled polymer melts that are undergoing flow. This analysis was applied to the specific ease of molten high density polyethylene experiencing low levels of shearing flow. A custom-made concentric cylinder viscometer, which could be operated by the Rheometrics mechanical spectrometer instrument, was used to make simultaneous measurements of transmitted torque and optical anisotropy in isothermal melts, The result of the analytical procedure developed here was molecular Size-dependence of chain distensions caused by prevailing shear. This distribution function was verified by testing against experimentally obtained values of birefringence. Total entropy reduction resulting from this distorted state was then calculated, and the corresponding increase in free energy was found to be at least enough to account for comparable crystal nucleation rates in flowing melts at higher temperatures and in quiescent melts at lower temperatures.

    Hot-water aquifer storage: A field test (1980)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The basic water injection cycle used in a large-scale field study of heat storage in a confined aquifer near Mobile, Alabama is described. Water was pumped from an upper semi-confined aquifer, passed through a boiler where it was heated to a temperature of about 55 C, and injected into a medium sand confined aquifer. The injection well has a 6-inch (15-cm) partially-penetrating steel screen. The top of the storage formation is about 40 meters below the surface and the formation thickness is about 21 meters. In the first cycle, after a storage period of 51 days, the injection well was pumped until the temperature of the recovered water dropped to 33 c. At that point 55,300 cubic meters of water had been withdrawn and 66 percent of the injected energy had been recovered. The recovery period for the second cycle continued until the water temperature was 27.5 C and 100,100 cubic meters of water was recovered. At the end of the cycle about 90 percent of the energy injected during the cycle had been recovered.
