    Notes: Summary In the present work some thermodynamic and structural aspects of electric-, magnetic- and electromagnetic-field interaction at 50 Hz with lecithin liposomes mixed with azelaic acid or cholesterol have been investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Calorimetric scans and X-ray diffraction patterns show that no significant modifications of the two mixtures occur, except a little increase of the freezing temperature of the free water after exposure to electromagnetic field.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Mediante diffrazione dei raggi X, calorimetria differenziale e microscopia ottica sono state studiate le transizioni di fase per miscele binarie di colesteril oleato (CO) e colesterolo (CH). Sono stati ricavati in riscaldamento il diagramma di fase per le transizioni solido-solido e solido-liquido isotropo ed in raffreddamento un diagramma di fase comprendente le mesofasi colesterica e smettica. In particolare sono stati osservati un marcato effetto di sovraraffreddamento del liquido del colesterolo ed una progressiva diminuzione delle temperature di transizione delle fasi liquido-isotropo colesterico e colestericosmettico. Inoltre sono state trovate alcune modificazioni strutturali indotte nella fase smetticaA ed in quella colesterica dalla presenza del CH nel CO. Infine è stata studiata la dipendenza della distanza intermolecolare nella fase liquido isotropo in funzione della temperatura e della composizione della miscela.
    Abstract: Резюме Исследуются фазовые переходы в бинарных смесях олеата холестерила (CO) и холестерола (CH) с помощью дифракции рентгеновских лучей, дифференциальной сканирующей калориметрии и оптической микроскопии. Получаются при нагревании фазовые диаграммы, вклюьающие переходы твердое тело-твердое тело и твердое тело-изотропная жидкость, а при охлаждении фазовая диаграмма, включающая холестерическую и смектическую мезофазы. В частности, наблюдается сильные эффект сверхохлаждения дия жидкого холестерола и постепенное уменьшение температур фазовых переходов изотропная жидкость-холестерик и холестерик-смектик. Кроме того, определяются структурные модификации, индуцированные в фазе смектикаА и в фазе холестерика наличием CH и CO. В эаключение, исследуется эависимость расстояния между молекулами в фазе изотропной жидкости, как функция температуры и состава смеси.
    Notes: Summary The phase transitions for binary mixtures of cholesteryl oleate (CO) and cholesterol (CH) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. The phase diagrams on heating, involving the solid-solid and solid-isotropic liquid transitions, and on cooling, involving the cholesteric and smectic mesophases, have been derived. In particular, a strong supercooling effect of liquid cholesterol and a progressive decrease of the isotropic liquid-cholesteric and cholesteric-smectic transition temperatures were observed. Moreover, some structural modifications induced in the smecticA and in the cholesteric phase by the presence of CH in CO were detected. Finally the dependence of intermolecular distance in the isotropic liquid phase was studied as a function of temperature and mixture composition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto L’interazione fra colesterolo e membrana è particolarmente interessante poiché la concentrazione di colesterolo influenza la stabilità e la permeabilità della membrana, inducendo cambiamenti sulla struttura e dinamica dei lipidi che la costituiscono. D’altra parte il colesterolo è presente nelle placche aterosclerotiche e in malattie della pelle quali xantomi e xantelasmi. È presentato uno studio sulla fase Γ di una miscela acquosa di colesterolo e distearoilfosfatidilcolina (DSPC), mediante diffrazione di raggi X e microcalorimetria differenziale. Il rapporto molare colesterolo/DSPC vale 35/65 e il rapporto peso DSPC/acqua è 1/3. La fase Γ appare a concentrazioni di colesterolo abbastanza alte ed è caratterizzata da ordine posizionale fra le catene considerevolmente piú basso che nelle fasiL β′ eP β′ ma piú, alto che nella fase liquido-cristallinaL ∝ della pura lecitina in eccesso d’acqua. I risultati suggeriscono che nell’intervallo di temperatura d’esistenza della fase Γ esiste una separazione laterale di fase. La seconda fase (Γ′) appare essere piú ricca di colesterolo. Si studia la transizione della fase (Γ+Γ′) alla faseL ∝ e si determina la dipendenza dalla temperatura della lunghezza di correlazione sul piano (ξ) nella fase Γ. In corrispondenza della transizione di fusione delle catene è osservato un picco calorimetrico con entalpia molto bassa; ciò conferma la natura fortemente disordinata della fasi Γ e Γ′.
    Abstract: Резюме Взаимодействие холестерола с мембранами представляет особый интерес с точки зрения, как концентрация холестерола влияет на устойчивость и проницаемость мембраны, индуцируя изменения в структуре и динамике молекул, составляющих липид. С другой стороны холестерол присутсвует в атеросклеротических бляшках и в некоторых кожных заболеваниях. Проводится исследование Γ фазы в водной смеси холестерол-DSPC, используя дифракцию рентгеновских лучей и дифференциальную сканирующую калориметрию. Молекулярное отношение холестерол-DSPC составляет 35/36, а отношение весов DSPC-вода составляет 1/3. Γ фаза возникает при достаточной высокой концентрации холестерола и характеризуется позиционным порядком между цепочками более низким, чем в случае фазL β иP β но более высоким чем в случае фазы жидкого кристаллаL ∝ для чистого лецитина при избытке воды. Полученные результаты показывают, что поперечное разделение фаз сущестует при температурах, когда существует Γ фаза. Возникает другая Γ′ фаза при более высоких концентрациях холестерола. Исследуется фазовый переход из (Γ+Γ′) фазы вL ∝ фазу. Определяется температурная зависимость длины корреляции в Γ фазе. Обнаружен очень слабьй пик энтальпии при нереходе, связанном с плавлением цепочек, что подтверждает сильно разупорядоченную природу фаз Γ и Γ′.
    Notes: Summary The interaction of cholesterol with membranes is particularly interesting as the cholesterol concentration influences membrane stability and permeability by inducing changes in the structure and dynamics of the constituent lipid molecules. On the other hand, cholesterol is present in the atherosclerotic plaques and in some skin diseases, like xanthomas and xantelasmas. An investigation was performed on the Γ phase in a cholesterol-distearoyl phosphatidyl choline (DSPC) mixture by using X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The cholesterol/DSPC molar ratio was 35/65 and DSPC-to-water weight ratio was 1/3. The Γ phase appears at sufficiently high concentration of cholesterol and it is characterized by interchain positional order considerably lower than in theL β′ andP β′ phases but higher than in theL ∝ liquid crystalline phase of pure lecithin in excess water. The results suggest that a lateral phase separation exists in the temperature range of existence of the Γ phase. The other phase Γ′ appears to be richer in cholesterol. The (Γ+Γ′) toL ∝ phase transition was investigated and the temperature dependence of the in-plane correlation length in the Γ phase was determined. A very weak enthalpy peak was observed at the chain melting transition, confirming the highly disordered nature of phases Γ and Γ′.

    Notes: Summary We report a thermodynamical and structural investigation on the effect of a dicarboxylic acid, the azelaic acid, on a synthetic phosophatidylcholine in excess water condition. The results indicate that the drug interacts with the lipid headgroup region, near to the hydrocarbon chains: in particular, at higher concentrations investigated, an interdigitated «gel phase», with rigid chains, stiff and perpendicular to the lamellar planes, is induced. The experimental electron density profiles, obtained for samples containing low and high quantity of azelaic acid, support the proposed interaction. Moreover, step electron density models, used to confirm the selected sign combination of the observed structure factors, show the best agreement with the experimental data when the chain terminal methyl groups are frozen in fixed position.

    Notes: Abstract. This paper deals with asymptotic stability for the solutions of ordinary differential systems with time dependent restoring potential of the type¶¶ $ \nabla_p G(u,u^\prime))^\prime \,\,\, \nabla_u G(u,u^\prime) + q^m (t) f (u) = Q (t,u,u^\prime), $ ¶¶ where Q may depends in an essential way on the variable u and can be not tame, a geometrical condition required in previous works. This allows us to extend a stability result concerning nonlinear networks to the non-autonomous case.

    Notes: Abstract Spectroscopic observations of the Be star φ Tau (HR 1910), for the period 17–24 January, 1983, are reported. Radial velocities of the measured lines seem to indicate that the inner layers of the shell were falling to the stellar surface, while the outer ones were going away. There are indications about short-term variability of line profiles: a short discussion is carried out about the meaningful of this behaviour. The periodic variations (P=0.d85) of Hei 6678 line seem quite well established.

    Notes: Abstract We develop a new thermodynamic approach to the problem of the last stages of star formation, when a collapsing fragment evolves adiabatically into its final state: single protostar, surrounded or not by protoplanetary disc, or binary system. In this context, we point out the crucial role of the angular momentum transfer: a very efficient mechanism tends to form double stars with small mass secondaries, while a total decoupling yields twin binaries. Intermediate assumptions allow the birth of both kinds of binary systems, as well as the formation of not very massive protoplanetary discs. Discs of larger mass, which would be required to produce protoplanetary systems as a consequence of dynamical instabilities, do not form under any circumstances. A representation of the outcomes as functions of the corresponding initial conditions on the usual α−β plane gives well definite regions for single stars, protoplanetary discs, unbalanced systems and twin binaries. On this ground, a preliminary estimate of the percentage of stars surrounded by planetary systems is possible. A particular numerical simulation confirms the bimodality of the mass ratio distribution as well as the main features of the α−β plane partition. A few suggestions about non-adiabatic effects are also given. Our thermodynamic approach, supported by the numerical one and by the analysis of the observational statistics, allow to define a first unitary sketch for the formation of binary systems and protoplanetary discs.
