    Notes: Synopsis Observations of reproductive features and body measurements were made on wild-caught, freshwater stingrays, Potamotrygon circularis and P. motoro, from the Amazon drainage of western Brazil and southern Colombia. Further observations were made in Detroit's Belle Isle Aquarium on a captive pair of P. motoro and their descendants, which constitute the first known captive breeding colony of potamotrygonids. The gross structure and function of female and male reproductive systems are described. There is no obvious difference between those of the two species. They are aplacentally viviparous, the young being nourished in advanced stages by uterine milk secreted by trophonemata. Size at onset and completion of sexual maturation, breeding season and behavior, gestation period, litter size and sex ratios are discussed. Up to 21 proportional measurements were made on several fetal and postnatal stages of both species. Several proportional changes occur in very early fetal life, but most body proportions undergo only minor changes from advanced fetal through adult stages. A growth curve is proposed for P. motoro based on observations of the captive colony.

    Life history implications of a tagging study of the largetooth sawfish, Pristis perotteti, in the Lake Nicaragua-Río San Juan system (1982)

    Notes: Synopsis Of a total of 377 Pristis perotteti tagged in the Lake Nicaragua-Río San Juan System, 214 (56.8% were recovered. Eighty were recovered at the original tagging site; four moved downstream the full length of the river; and 127 tagged at the source of the river were recovered in all parts of the lake. Only one was recovered in a different river system, 58 km down the coast from the main mouth of the Río San Juan. A life span of 30 years is suggested, with rapid growth (30–40 cm per year) in the first three years, slowing to about 4 or 5 cm per year in the later years of life. Maximum sizes collected were 384 cm for males, 429 cm for females, smaller than maximum lengths reported elsewhere. The lake sawfish are not physically landlocked, but individuals remain in fresh water for very long periods; parturition takes place in fresh water; all sizes are found in the lake; and it appears that this stock finds all of its ecological needs met in the lake. Individuals may spend all of their lives in fresh water, although, as a species, P. perotteti has not completely abandoned the sea, since some are known to occur in salt water. The Lake Nicaragua-Río San Juan sawfish are a discrete stock, with only limited gene flow with neighboring stocks. P. perotteti is farther along in its adaptation to fresh water, in being able both to osmoregulate and reproduce there, than other known euryhaline elasmobranchs, except for the African stingray, Dasyatis garouaensis, of the Niger-Benue System, and the completely adapted South American freshwater rays (family Potamotrygonidae).

    Notes: A procedure is described for preparing fairly uniform spheres of three different nylon polymers by phase separation. The mean diameter and polydisperse index were 5 μm and 1.056 for Griltex nylon, 5.7 μm and 1.046 for nylon 6/6, and 12.9 μm and 1.016 for nylon 6. The phase separation is done by taking a 1 wt % solution in a theta solvent above the theta temperature and cooling it rapidly. The spheres of the three nylons have various degrees of roughness. Formation of highly uniform particles during phase separation is discussed in a preliminary way. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird über den Beginn einer Untersuchung zur Kristallisationskinetik von Polycaprolacton (Poly(1-oxy-6-oxohexamethylene) (1)) berichtet. Die primäre Keimbildung und das primäre Sphärolith-Wachstum aus der Polymerschmelze werden bei hinreichend hohen Temperaturen verfolgt, wodurch sichergestellt ist, daß das Wachstum der Kristallite durch Keimbildung bestimmt ist. Die kinetischen Daten werden weitgehend mit Hilfe des Avrami-Modells interpretiert, welches sich gut auf die Kristallisation von 1 anwenden ließ.
    Notes: A kinetic crystallization study of polycaprolactone (poly(1-oxy-6-oxohexamethylene) (1)) has been initiated to investigate the primary nucleation and primary spherulitic growth from a polymer melt at temperatures that are high enough to insure nucleation-limited crystallite growth. The analysis of the kinetic data is largely made on the basis of an Avrami model which proved to be well suited for the interpretation of the crystallization of 1.

    Temperature dependence of relative modulus in filled polymer systems (1969)
    New York : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The temperature dependence of relative modulus observed in filled thermoset, thermoplastic, and polyelectrolyte salt matrices is explained on the basis of induced stresses produced by the differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the constituent materials. The analysis is based on the assumption that the modulus of the matrix in a filled polymer is less than that of the unfilled polymer. The temperature dependence of relative modulus is expressed as a function of the difference in thermal expansion coefficients, the volume fraction, the relative modulus in the unstressed state, and mechanical properties of the phases. Agreement is good between the analysis and experimental results for three systems: epoxy and glass, polyethylene and wollastonite, and a polyelectrolyte salt with mica and asbestos.

    Notes: The “three-liquid” contact angle procedure of Good et al. was applied to polymer films of varying Lewis acidic and basic nature to test the procedure. Surface energy parameters with the units of mJ/m2 are determined for the surfaces. These are γLWs (Lifshitz-van der Waals or apolar), γ+s (acidic), and γ-s (basic). Very little has yet been published on this new method, and this study found it to be promising. More research on the procedure is warranted. The study included films of basic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and predominately acidic chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) and polyvinylfluoride (PVF) as well as the series: polyethylene (PE) and PE copolymerized with 1.8% and 7.0% acrylic acid. In some of the experiments receding contact angles were measured, and the surface energy parameters determined in order to cast more light on the mechanism of contact angle hysteresis. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Thermal Decomposition of Energetic Materials 56. On the fast thermolysis mechanism of ammonium nitrate and its mixtures with mangnesium and carbon (1992)

    Notes: Fast thermolysis studies of ammonium nitrate (AN) and its mixtures with magnesium and activated charcoal have been carried out by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy/temperature profiling technique. When subjected to rapid heating (ca. 80°C/s), AN Sublimes/decomposes around 300°. Sublimation dominates at ambient pressures. The IR-active products of decomposition are NH3, NO2, N2O and H2O. Reaction schemes accounting for the products are proposed which involve proton transfer leading to NH3 by the decomposition products of HNO3. The decomposition of AN is significantly enhanced when AN is mixed with magnesium powder or charcoal, and occurs at as low a temperature as 135°C. Whereas NH3 is the major product of decomposition of AN—Mg mixtures, no NH3 is observed from AN—C mixtures. The results are explained by the reaction of HNO3 and NH3 with Mg or C.
