    Description: The global positioning system (GPS) phase scintillation caused by highlatitude ionospheric irregularities during an intense high-speed stream (HSS) of the solar wind from April 29 to May 5, 2011, was observed using arrays of GPS ionospheric scintillation and total electron content monitors in the Arctic and Antarctica. The one-minute phase-scintillation index derived from the data sampled at 50 Hz was complemented by a proxy index (delta phase rate) obtained from 1-Hz GPS data. The scintillation occurrence coincided with the aurora borealis and aurora australis observed by an all-sky imager at the South Pole, and by special sensor ultraviolet scanning imagers on board satellites of the Defense Meteorological Satellites Program. The South Pole (SP) station is approximately conjugate with two Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network stations on Baffin Island, Canada, which provided the opportunity to study magnetic conjugacy of scintillation with support of riometers and magnetometers. The GPS ionospheric pierce points were mapped at their actual or conjugate locations, along with the auroral emission over the South Pole, assuming an altitude of 120 km. As the aurora brightened and/or drifted across the field of view of the all-sky imager, sequences of scintillation events were observed that indicated conjugate auroras as a locator of simultaneous or delayed bipolar scintillation events. In spite of the greater scintillation intensity in the auroral oval, where phase scintillation sometimes exceeded 1 radian during the auroral break-up and substorms, the percentage occurrence of moderate scintillation was highest in the cusp. Interhemispheric comparisons of bipolar scintillation maps show that the scintillation occurrence is significantly higher in the southern cusp and polar cap.

    Notes: The requirement for revised asset management plans from water-supply companies and the need to prioritize the renewal of buried water-supply pipework has stimulated an interest in the spatial distribution of corrosion risk and intensity. This paper reports how the relationships between soil corrosion and the spatial distribution of soil types, as displayed on soil maps, can be combined to predict the likely incidence of aggressive soils and thereby identify those water mains which are most likely to need early replacement. The concept is illustrated by a project supported by Portsmouth Water plc.

    Notes: Abstract. As part of a study of recession farming on the ‘fadama’ lands on a segment of the Komadugu-Yobe floodplain, a survey was carried out to investigate the local farmers’ perception of soil types and management practices. The farmers are clearly aware of the differences in soil type on the fadama and they possess unique skills in managing their farm lands. The farmers classify fadama soils for recession farming by assessing soil texture and soil drainage conditions by feel and observation. Integrating such local knowledge into soil surveys will lead to better practical definition of mapping units and give soil names that have more meaning for the farmers.

    Notes: The object of this paper is to define criteria for distinguishing between self-assembly and template-based assembly in plant cell walls. The example of cellulose shows that cell wall polymers biosynthesized at a membrane may retain parallel chain packing arrangements that are thermodynamically unstable and cannot be reproduced in vitro, making the experimental testing of the self-assembly hypothesis difficult. Also, natural cellulose is ordered on a number of scales of pattern, each of which may be constructed by either self- or template-based assembly independently of the rest. These conceptual problems apply equally to the self-assembly of complete cell walls and other cell wall polymers. It is suggested that the self-assembly concept should be applied only to one stage or level in the synthesis of a cell wall, and that an additional concept of parallel assembly may be useful for understanding the synthesis of some polysaccharides.

    Notes: Collenchyma fibres from celery (Apium graveolens L.) were extracted with detergent and phenol-acetic acid-water to leave the intact cell walls, free from active enzymes. Under a small, constant stress the cell wall fibres showed elastic and plastic extension and viscoelastic deformation, but viscous flow was observed only at high stresses close to the breaking stress. After complete removal of calcium ions with cyclohex-anediamine tetraacetic acid (CDTA) and incubation for 18 h, comparable levels of these extensibility components were observed at much lower stresses. However, partial removal of calcium ions with citrate did not increase the plastic, elastic or viscoelastic components even when the residual calcium was reduced to 3.5% of the exchange capacity. The breaking stress of the fibres was rather more sensitive to calcium removal, being reduced by 50% at 7% calcium saturation. CDTA-extracted fibres broke by cell separation at very low stress. These characteristics did not appear compatible with removal of calcium ions, or their displacement by protons, as a mechanism for auxin-induced growth in this material: however such mechanisms are not excluded in other tissues or under other conditions. Strong chelating agents which remove enough calcium to weaken cell walls should be avoided in experiments on other mechanisms of auxin-induced growth.

    Notes: Adhesion between plant cells is a fundamental feature of plant growth and development, and an essential part of the strategy by which growing plants achieve mechanical strength. Turgor pressure provides non-woody plant tissues with mechanical rigidity and the driving force for growth, but at the same time it generates large forces tending to separate cells. These are resisted by reinforcing zones located precisely at the points of maximum stress. In dicots the reinforcing zones are occupied by networks of specific pectic polymers. The mechanisms by which these networks cohere vary and are not fully understood. In the Poaceae their place is taken by phenolic cross-linking of arabinoxylans. Whatever the reinforcing polymers, a targeting mechanism is necessary to ensure that they become immobilized at the appropriate location, and there are secretory mutants that appear to have defects in this mechanism and hence are defective in cell adhesion. At the outer surface of most plant parts, the tendency of cells to cohere is blocked, apparently by the cuticle. Mutants with lesions in the biosynthesis of cuticular lipids show aberrant surface adhesion and other developmental abnormalities. When plant cells separate, the polymer networks that join them are locally dismantled with surgical precision. This occurs during the development of intercellular spaces; during the abscission of leaves and floral organs; during the release of seeds and pollen; during differentiation of root cap cells; and during fruit ripening. Each of these cell separation processes has its own distinctive features. Cell separation can also be induced during cooking or processing of fruit and vegetables, and the degree to which it occurs is a significant quality characteristic in potatoes, pulses, tomatoes, apples and other fruit. Control over these technological characteristics will be facilitated by understanding the role of cell adhesion and separation in the life of plants.

    Notes: Turgor pressure tends to force plant cells towards a spherical form, thus separating them at the angles from adjacent cells. In cooked vegetables containing starch, the swelling pressure of starch gelatinization generates analogous cell separation forces. A theoretical analysis of the relationship between internal pressure and cell separation forces is presented. Apart from the effect of internal pressure, cell separation forces increase with the diameter of the cell and decrease with the number of cell sides. Cell separation forces are reduced by the introduction of intercellular spaces and decrease further as these expand. The relationship between intracellular pressure and cell separation forces provides a basis upon which the strength of intercellular adhesion can be measured by experiment.
