    Notes: Abstract The phylogenetic position of Dictyostelium inferred from 18S rRNA data contradicts that from protein data. Protein trees always show the close affinity of Dictyostelium with animals, fungi, and plants, whereas in 18S rRNA trees the branching of Dictyostelium is placed at a position before the massive radiation of protist groups including the divergence of the three kingdoms. To settle this controversial issue and to determine the correct position of Dictyostelium, we inferred the phylogenetic relationship among Dictyostelium and the three kingdoms Animalia, Fungi, and Plantae by a maximum-likelihood method using 19 different protein data sets. It was shown at the significance level of 1 SE that the branching of Dictyostelium antedates the divergence of Animalia and Fungi, and Plantae is an outgroup of the Animalia-Fungi-Dictyostelium clade.

    Notes: Abstract The evolutionary relationships of four eukaryotic kingdoms—Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista—remain unclear. In particular, statistical support for the closeness of animals to fungi rather than to plants is lacking, and a preferred branching order of these and other eukaryotic lineages is still controversial even though molecular sequences from diverse eukaryotic taxa have been analyzed. We report a statistical analysis of 214 sequences of nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA (srRNA) gene undertaken to clarify these evolutionary relationships. We have considered the variability of substitution rates and the nonindependence of nucleotide substitution across sites in the srRNA gene in testing alternative hypotheses regarding the branching patterns of eukaryote phylogeny. We find that the rates of evolution among sites in the srRNA sequences vary substantially and are approximately gamma distributed with size and shape parameter equal to 0.76. Our results suggest that (1) the animals and true fungi are indeed closer to each other than to any other “crown” group in the eukaryote tree, (2) red algae are the closest relatives of animals, true fungi, and green plants, and (3) the heterokonts and alveolates probably evolved prior to the divergence of red algae and animal-fungus-green-plant lineages. Furthermore, our analyses indicate that the branching order of the eukaryotic lineages that diverged prior to the evolution of alveolates may be generally difficult to resolve with the srRNA sequence data.

    Notes: Abstract An algorithm was developed for the segmentation and tracking of piglets and tested on a 200-image sequence of 10 piglets moving on a straw background. The image-capture rate was 1 image/140 ms. The segmentation method was a combination of image differencing with respect to a median background and a Laplacian operator. The features tracked were blob edges in the segmented image. During tracking, the piglets were modelled as ellipses initialised on the blobs. Each piglet was tracked by searching for blob edges in an elliptical window about the piglet's position, which was predicted from its previous two positions.

    Notes: Abstract The interactions between humans, animals and the environment have shaped human values and ethics, not only the genes that we are made of. The animal rights movement challenges human beings to reconsider interactions between humans and other animals, and maybe connected to the environmental movement that begs us to recognize the fact that there are symbiotic relationships between humans and all other organisms. The first part of this paper looks at types of bioethics, the implications of autonomy and the value of being alive. Then the level of consciousness of these relationships are explored in survey results from Asia and the Pacific, especially in the 1993 International Bioethics Survey conducted in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, The Philippines, Russia, Singapore and Thailand. Very few mentioned animal consciousness in the survey, but there were more biocentric comments in Australia and Japan; and more comments with the idea of harmony including humans in Thailand. Comparisons between questions and surveys will also be made, in an attempt to describe what people imagine animal consciousness to be, and whether this relates to human ethics of the relationships.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von 3-Phenylenbismaleimid auf die Werkstoffeigenschaften von CaCO3 gefüllten Polypropylen-Verbundstoffen wurde untersucht. Die Verarbeitungstemperatur spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Herstellung der Verbundwerkstoffe. Bei Verarbeitungstemperaturen oberhalb der Bismaleimid-Zersetzungstemperatur zeigte die Bismaleimid-Verbindung einen positiven Effekt. Die chemische Zusammensetzung der modifizierten Verbunde wurde mit den mechanischen Eigenschaften korreliert. Basierend auf ESCA-Analysen werden Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Polymeren und CaCO, diskutiert.
    Notes: The effect of 3-phenylene bismaleimide on the mechanical performance of an inorganic filler-based polypropylene composite was studied. The selection of processing temperature played a significant role in the preparation of such composites. A positive effect of the bismaleimide compound was obtained for a processing temperature above the decomposition temperature of bismaleimide. The chemical composition of the modified composite was correlated to its mechanical strength by experimentation involving a rotatable design. An interaction between polymer and CaCO3 has been proposed based on ESCA analysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Chemische und mechanische Eigenschaften von Zwischenprodukten der PE-Schrumpfschlauch-Produktion wurden bei unterschiedlichen Compound-Zusammensetzungen (PE, ein aromatisches Amin oder Phenolderivat als Antioxidans und in einigen Fällen ein Flammschutzmittel und/oder eine Elastomerkomponente) untersucht.Während der Herstellung, besonders während der durch Elektronenstrahlung initiierten Vernetzung, nimmt die thermooxidative Stabilität des Materials gegenüber der des compoundierten Granulats ab. Das aromatische Amin scheint bei gleicher Zusammensetzung das wirksamere und strahlungsbeständigere Antioxidans im Vergleich zum Phenolderivat zu sein. Die Oxidationsstabilität der hergestellten Schrumpfschläuche wird nicht von der Qualität des eingesetzten PE-Ausgangsgranulats beeinflußt.Durch die Alterung des Materials ändern sich die mechanischen Eigenschaften geringfügig. Die Elastomerzugabe bewirkt keine Änderung von Zugfestigkeit und Reißdehnung. Die Stabilität des Endprodukts ist bei weitem ausreichend, um den Spannungen, die beim Schrumpfen während des Gebrauchs auftreten, standzuhalten. Die gute Zugfestigkeit des Materials wird durch die Alterung ebenfalls nicht beeinträchtigt.Bei der Extrusion des Granulats tritt keine nennenswerte Änderung des Molekulargewichts bzw. der Molekulargewichtsverteilung auf. Durch die Bestrahlung wird das Material vernetzt und zu mehr als 50% unlöslich, und seine thermooxidativen Eigenschaften ändern sich deutlich gegenüber dem ursprünglichen PE und dem daraus compoundierten Material.
    Notes: Some chemical and mechanical properties of intermediate products obtained in the production of PE heat-shrinkable tubes were studied at different compositions of the material containing PE, antioxidant (aromatic amime or phenol) and, in some cases, flame retardant and/or an elastomer.In the course of the production phase, the thermooxidative stability decreases compared to that of compounded granulate. The greatest decrease is caused by irradiation. The aromatic amine seems to be a more effective antioxidant at similar compositions than the phenol derivative, and it shows a better resistance against irradiation. The oxidative stability of the finished shrinkable tubes is not affected by the quality of commercial granulate (initial polyethylene).Mechanical properties change slightly upon ageing, and the introduction of the elastomer did not alter the tensile strength and elongation at break. The remaining stability of the end product was still high enough to bear the stress of shrinking in use, and the good tensile strength of the material did not decrease upon thermal ageing either.In the extrusion of the granulated compound no significant change in the distribution and average molecular weight took place. Irradiation produced more than 50% insoluble fraction and the thermooxidative properties of the crosslinked sample changed significantly compared to the original PE and to the compound prepared from it.

    Description / Table of Contents: In the present work oxygen index (OI) measurements and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) for a series of polyurethanes based on diols and isocyanate were conducted. It was found that a correlation exists between some of the thermal degradation parameters obtained from TG and OI-values. Analysis of experimental results confirms that the amount of mass loss at 250°C is directly proportional to the OI-value. It was also found that the logarithmic temperatures of maximal decomposition rates are directly proportional to the OI-values.
    Notes: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden für eine Serie von Polyurethanen auf der Basis von Diol und Isocyanat der Sauerstoffindex (SI) gemessen und die thermische Zersetzung mittels thermogravimetrischer Analyse (TG) untersucht. Dabei wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen einigen Parametern der thermischen Zersetzung und den SI-Werten gefunden. Die Auswertung der experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigte, daß die Höhe des Massenverlustes bei 250°C und die SI-Werte direkt proportional zueinander sind. Derselbe Zusammenhang besteht auch zwischen dem Logarithmus der Temperatur bei der maximalen Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit und den SI-Werten.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die wasserlöslichen aromatischen Diazonium-Doppelsalze p-Diazodiphenylaminchlorid/Zinkchlorid (DZS-1) und p-Diazoanisolchlorid/Zinkchlorid (DZS-2) wurden auf ihre Verwendbarkeit als photobleichbare Farbstoffe in der Kontrastverstärkungslithographie untersucht. Nach Untersuchung der Bleicheigenschaften der hergestellten Salze wurde DZS-1 in wäßrigen Lösungen mit Poly(vinylalkohol) als Kontrastverstärkungssystem eingesetzt. Die thermische Stabilität, der Resistkontrast, die Bestrahlungsparameter und andere Bleicheigenschaften wurden untersucht. Im Vergleich zu einem handelsüblichen i-Linien-Photoresist beträgt das Kontrastverhältnis der DZS-1/PVA CEL-Schicht 1,67.
    Notes: Water soluble aromatic diazonium double salts, p-diazodiphenylamine chloride zinc chloride (DZS-1) and p-diazoanisol chloride zinc chloride (DZS-2), have been evaluated as photobleachable dyes for contrast enhancement lithography. After testing the bleaching characteristics, aqueous solutions of DZS-1 and poly(vinyl alcohol) were used as a contrast enhancement material. Thermal stability, resist contrast, exposure parameters and other bleaching characteristics of the photobleachable membranes were investigated. A. commercial i-line photoresist was used to evaluate the contrast ratio of the DZS-1/PVA CEL layer. The contrast ratio obtained in this investigation is 1.67.

    Description / Table of Contents: Methylen-4,4′-diphenyldiisocyanat und zwei unterschiedliche Bisoxazoline wurden für Kopplungsreaktionen in mit Carboxygruppen terminierten flüssigkristallinen Poly(ethylenterephthalat-co-oxybenzoat)en eingesetzt. Um definierte Bedingungen zu gewährleisten, erfolgte die Synthese von Copolyestern mit unterschiedlichen Carboxygruppenkonzentrationen. Die Bestimmung des Carboxygruppengehalts wird beschrieben.Es erfolgt ein Vergleich des Kopplungsverhaltens beider Arten von Kettenverlängerern. Es konnte nachgewiesen werde, daß die Bisoxazoline bedeutend schneller reagieren als das Diisocyanat. Durch einen geringen Überschuß and Bisoxazolin in der Reaktionsmischung konnte einer thermischen Schädigung vorgebeugt werden. Abhängig von der Menge an zugegebenem Koppler wurden bei den modifizierten Copolyestern Oxazolinendgruppen beobachtet. Außerdem werden mögliche Vernetzungsreaktionen und die thermische Stabilität diskutiert.
    Notes: Methylene-4,4′-diphenyldiisocyanate and two different bisoxazolines were used for coupling reactions in carboxy-terminated liquid crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-oxybenzoate). In order to guarantee defined conditions, copolyesters with different carboxylic group concentrations were synthesized. The determination of the carboxylic group content is described.The coupling behaviour of both types of chain extenders has been compared. It was evidenced that the bisoxazolines reacted significantly faster than the diisocyanate. A slight excess of bisoxazoline in the reaction mixture prevented thermomechanical degradation. Depending on the amount of coupling agent added, an oxazoline termination of the copolyester was observed. Additionally, probable crosslinking reactions and the thermal stability have been discussed.
