    Notes: Streptococcus agalactiae was isolated from cultured gilthead seabream, Sparus auratus L., and diseased wild Klunzinger's mullet, Liza klunzingeri (Day), in Kuwait Bay, Arabian Gulf. Isolates were catalase negative, β-haemolytic, Gram-positive cocci and serogroup B. Experimental infectivity trials with mullet and seabream brain isolates in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., caused 100 and 90% mortality, respectively, within 7 days post-inoculation indicating virulent S. agalactiae as the bacterial pathogen responsible for the epizootic in Kuwait Bay.

    Notes: Abstract. Stomatal conductances (gs) were measured on the leaves of 3–4 year old Golden Delicious trees and of seedlings of two other cultivars. Measurements were made on container grown trees in the field with a diffusion porometer in 1975 and 1976, and in controlled conditions in a leaf chamber in the laboratory in 1976. Stomatal densities in the Golden Delicious leaves were assessed from scanning electron micrographs. Stomatal density on extension shoot leaves was higher than on other leaf types after June.The response to irradiance shown by both the porometer and the leaf chamber results could be described by a rectangular hyperbola: 〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:01407791:PCE13:PCE_13_mu1"/〉where gmax is maximum conductance and β indicates the sensitivity of gs to photon influx density (Qp). The values of β were in the range 60–90 μmol m−2 s−1.There was no evidence that apple stomata are sensitive to temperature per se, but gs was reduced by increasing leaf to air vapour pressure deficits (D). There was a linear relationship between gs and D which was not attributable to feed-back to leaf water potential (ψL) as the latter did not affect gs until a threshold of about −2.0 to −2.5 MPa was reached. Conductance generally declined with increasing ambient CO2 concentration.

    Notes: Abstract. An empirical model of stomatal response to environmental factors was developed from measurements of stomatal conductance (gs) made in a leaf chamber under controlled conditions. Results presented in a companion paper (Warrit, Landsberg & Thorpe, 1980) indicated that the model could be written in terms of only two factors, photon flux density (Qp) and leaf to air vapour pressure gradient (D). The response of Qp was hyperbolic and that to D linear; combining these the equation of the model is〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:01407791:PCE23:PCE_23_mu1"/〉where gr is a reference conductance, α is the slope of the response to D and β indicates the sensitivity of gs response to Qp. Values of α were 0.20 and 0.30 kPa−1 in June and August; the corresponding values of β were 59 and 79 μmol m−2 s−1.The model was tested against mean values of gs obtained with a porometer in the field, using environmental measurements as inputs. Correspondence between measured and calculated values was good. Transpiration rates were calculated from the Penman-Monteith equation, with stomatal resistance values calculated from the model, and compared with gravimetric measurements of tree water use. It was shown that transpiration could be calculated with acceptable accuracy. The effects of variations in stomatal resistance on transpiration rates under a range of conditions were explored using the model and the Penman- Monteith equation.

    Notes: Abstract Using an open-system leaf chamber, gas exchange measurements on attached leaves of 3-4-year-old Golden Delicious apple trees, made through two seasons, provided data from which the parameters of a leaf photosynthesis model could be derived. The equation is: 〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:01407791:PCE51:PCE_51_mu1"/〉where C1 is internal CO2 concentration and Qp is the incident quantum flux. There was considerable leaf to leaf variation in the values of the parameters but no clear seasonal trends were established. The initial slope (a) had an average value of about 2.5 × 10−3 mg μmol−1† (i.e. quantum yield ∼ 0.057); the mesophyll conductance (gm) was about 3.5 mm s−1 in extension leaves of trees carrying fruit and 2.5 mm s−1 in extension leaves of defruited trees. Differences between the values of gm for spur leaves with and without subtending fruits were not significant; 2.5 mm s−1 may be used. Dark respiration (Rd, mg m−2 s−1) increased exponentially with temperature (T°C); Rd∼ 0.006 exp (0.09 T). At saturating photon flux density Pn was linearly related to Ci, up to Ci∼ 250 mg m−3. Optimum temperatures for Pn were slightly different in the two years and were in the range 16-26°C.

    Notes: Abstract. Measurements of the efflux of CO2 from 5–6 year old container grown apple trees, in the dark at a range of temperatures (T), indicated that respiration rate (R) can be described by the equation R = SL e kT. The temperature coefficient k, was the same at all times of the year and for all components of the trees, but the values of a varied. At the same temperature respiration rates were low when the trees were dormant, rose rapidly to a peak in spring (before full bloom) and then declined steadily through the season. When respiration was expressed as a flux density, rates for different components of the tree were usually similar. Differences were sometimes statistically significant but no clear pattern emerged. The results obtained are similar to those published for other plants and the equation can be used in the calculation of the carbon balance of apple trees.

    Notes: Abstract. Transpiration rates from apple leaves are analysed in terms of the ratio of latent heat flux (λE) to leaf net radiation (Q1) and the climatological resistance (ri). Increases in stomatal resistance with increasing leaf to air vapour pressure gradient (D), described by an empirical model, are incorporated in the analysis. This humidity effect causes the proportion of energy dissipated as latent heat to fall as Q1 increases, so that leaf transpiration rates in high energy environments are likely to be similar to those in lower energy environments. Boundary layer resistance (ra) exerts an increasingly important effect on transpiration rates as Q1 increases. At constant Q1 stomatal closure in response to increasing D results in very small changes in leaf temperature (T1) across a wide range of ambient vapour pressure deficits (δe); ra is then the major factor determining T1. The implications of these results are discussed.

    Notes: [Auszug] The most direct evidence for the link between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease (AD) stems from reports of granular alumino-silicates found in neuritic plaque cores.

    Notes: Summary The projective second fundamental form at a generic smooth pointx of a subvarietyX n of projective space ℂℙ n+a may be considered as a linear system of quadratic forms |II| x on the tangent spaceT x X. We prove this system is subject to certain restrictions (4.1), including a bound on the dimension of the singular locus of any quadric in the system |II| x . (The only previously known restriction was that ifX is smooth, the singular locus of the entire system must be empty). One consequence of (4.1) is that smooth subvarieties with 2(a−1)〈n are such that their third and all higher fundamental forms are zero (4.14). This says that the infinitesimal invariants of such varieties are of the same nature as the invariants of hypersurfaces, giving further evidence towards the principle (e.g. [H]) that smooth subvarieties of small codimension should behave like hypersurfaces. Further restrictions on the second fundamental form occur when one has more information about the variety. In this paper we discuss additional restrictions when the variety contains a linear space (2.3) and when the variety is a complete intersection (6.1). These rank restrictions should prove useful both in enhancing our understanding of smooth subvarieties of small codimension, and in bounding from below the dimensions of singularities of varieties for which local information is more readily available than global information.
