    Kinetics of ionic transport across frog skin: Two concentration-dependent processes (1980)
    Springer
    The journal of membrane biology 56 (1980), S. 139-147 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1424
    Keywords: Frog skin ; sodium transport ; chloride transport ; Michaelis-Menten kinetics ; transport from dilute and concentrated solutions
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Sodium and chloride influxes across the nonshort-circuited isolated skin ofRana esculenta were measured at widely varying external ionic concentrations. The curve describing sodium transport has two Michaelis-Menten components linked at an inflection point occurring at an external sodium concentration of about 7 meq. Chloride transport can also be represented by two saturating components. A possible explanation of these kinetics is discussed. At sodium concentrations lower than 4 meq it is possible to define a component of the sodium transport mechanism as having a high affinity for sodium and which is independent of the nature of the external anion. A high affinity for chloride of the chloride transport system functioning at low external concentrations is also found but is significantly different from that of sodium. These systems show the physiological characteristics of the countertransports (Na ext + /H int + ; Cl ext − /HCO 3int − ) functioning at low external concentrations. At external concentrations higher than 4 meq a low affinity transporting system in which chloride and sodium are linked superimpose on the high affinity components. The physiological significance of these results is discussed.

    tRNA-rRNA sequence homologies: Evidence for a common evolutionary origin? (1983)
    Springer
    Journal of molecular evolution 19 (1983), S. 420-428 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1432
    Keywords: Yeast ; E. coli ; tRNA ; rRNA ; Sequence homologies ; Evolution ; Origins ; Coding mechanism
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Many tRNAs ofE. coli and yeast contain stretches whose base sequences are similar to those found in their respective rRNAs. The matches are too frequent and extensive to be attributed to coincidence. They are distributed without discernible pattern along and among the RNAs and between the two species. They occur in loops as well as in stems, among both conserved and non-conserved regions. Their distributions suggest that they reflect common ancestral origins rather than common functions, and that they represent true homologies.

    Taxonomy of 5 S Ribosomal RNA by the Linguistic Technique: Probing with Mitochondrial and Mammalian Sequences (1997)
    Springer
    Journal of molecular evolution 45 (1997), S. 271-277

    ISSN: 1432-1432
    Keywords: Key words: Ribosomal RNA (5 S) — Evolution — Mitochondria — Mammals — Actinobacteria — Oligonucleotide — Linguistics
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract. Linguistic similarities and dissimilarities between 5 S rRNA sequences allowed taxonomical separation of species and classes. Comparisons with the molecule from mammals distinguished fungi and plants from protists and animals. Similarities to mammalians progressively increased from protists to invertebrates and to somatic-type molecules of the vertebrates lineage. In this, deviations were detected in avian, oocyte type, and pseudogene sequences. Among bacteria, actinobacteria were most similar to the mammalians, which could be related to the high frequency of associations among members of these groups. Some archaebacterial species most similar to the mammalians belonged to the Thermoproteales and Halobacteria groups. Comparisons with the soybean mitochondrial molecule revealed high internal homogeneity among plant mitochondria. The eubacterial groups most similar to it were Thermus and Rhodobacteria γ-1 and α-2. Other procedures have already indicated similarities of Rhodobacteria α to mitochondria but the linguistic similarities were on the average higher with the first two groups.

    Monitoring the Evolution of Fatigue in Corrugated Paperboard under Random Loads (2007)

    Notes: During the transportation phase of the distribution cycle, packaging systems are subjectedto random dynamic compressive loads that arise from vibrations generated by the vehicle. The leveland severity of these dynamic compressive loads are generally a function of the vibration levels, thestack configuration and stack weight. The container’s ability to withstand these compressive loadsfor sufficiently long periods depends on the material’s characteristics as well as the containerdesign. The research presented herein tests the hypothesis that cumulative damage in the materialunder random dynamic compression will result in a reduction in the overall stiffness as well as anincrease in the overall damping of the element. These are expected to be manifested, respectively,as a shift in the fundamental resonant frequency as well as an increase in the bandwidth of thefrequency response function of the material at resonance when configured as a single degree offreedom system. The paper presents the results of preliminary experiments in which a number ofcorrugated paperboard samples were subjected to dynamic compressive loads by means of broadbandrandom base excitation with a vibration table coupled with a guided dead-weight arrangement.The level of cumulative damage in the sample was continuously evaluated by monitoring thestiffness and overall damping of the sample which were extracted from the Frequency ResponseFunction (FRF) of the system. This was obtained from continuous acceleration measurements of thevibration table and the guided dead weight

    Interpreting Shock Data to Estimate Drop Height Levels During Handling (2007)
    s.l. ; Stafa-Zurich, Switzerland
    Applied mechanics and materials Vol. 7-8 (Aug. 2007), p. 243-250 
    Details

    Notes: During distribution, consignments undergo numerous handling processes bothmechanized and manual. These operations are known to produce drops and impacts of varyingseverity which have a potential to cause damage to the product. These shocks are the mainparameters required for the optimum design of protective packaging systems. The severity of theshocks is often described in terms of their effective (free-fall equivalent) drop height (EDH) andimpact orientation, in order to facilitate the laboratory testing conducted on a free-fall apparatus.The preferred approach is to survey the shocks with self-contained tri-axial shock recorders andprocess the data in such a way that statistical distributions of expected drop heights and orientationsare obtained. On the other hand the Real Drop Height (RDH) method, based on the measurement offree fall time, is also used, mainly to discriminate between free-fall events and more commonlyoccurring complex causes of shocks, primarily for the quality control of distribution environment.The focus of the paper is on the EDH method and on the use of characteristic parameters of thetri-axial acceleration shock pulse to determine the EDH. An accurate estimate of the coefficient ofrestitution between the instrumented test package and the impact surface must be known and thisposes a problem as it cannot always be established for every event during distribution.Consequently, the adopted approach is to calibrate an instrumented test package and obtain anestimate of the coefficient of restitution between the package and a test impact surface which isgenerally assumed to be hard relative to the cushioned package. The paper addresses the pitfalls andinvestigates various algorithms of determining the EDH from recorded shock data. It presents ananalysis of the influence and errors associated with various methods used to estimate velocitychange from characteristic parameters of a shock pulse such as the pulse width, the peakacceleration and its temporal location. The effects of analyzing the orthogonal acceleration vectorsseparately, as opposed to the resultant vector, are discussed. The results of a number of free-fallexperiments, undertaken in controlled conditions, are used to validate and calibrate the proposedmethod for determining the EDH for free-fall drops on hard surfaces
