    Notes: Abstract Operator representations of stochastic subsurface flow equations allow writing their solutions implicitly or explicitly in terms of integro-differential expressions. Most of these representations involve Neumann series that must be truncated or otherwise approximated to become operational. It is often claimed that truncated Neumann series allow solving groundwater flow problems in the presence of arbitrarily large heterogeneities. Such claims have so far not been backed by convincing computational examples, and we present an analysis which suggests that they may not be justified on theoretical grounds. We describe an alternative operator representation due to Neuman and Orr (1993) which avoids the use of Neumann series yet accomplishes a similar purpose. It leads to a compact integro-differential form which provides considerable new insight into the nature of the solution. When written in terms of conditional moments, our new representation contains local and nonlocal effective parameters that depend on scale and information. As such, these parameters are not unique material properties but may change as more is learned about the flow system.

    Notes: Abstract This study deals with the transport of a contaminant in groundwater. The contaminant is subject to first order decay or linear adsorption. Its displacement can be modeled by a random walk process in which particles are killed at exponentially distributed times. Dirichlet problems are derived for the rate and mean time at which contaminated particles reach a particular part of the boundary of a certain domain. These Dirichlet problems are solved asymptotically for two types of 2D-flow patterns: flow parallel to the boundary of a domain and arbitrary flow towards a well in an aquifer.

    Notes: Abstract As illustrated variously by wetting and drying scanning curves, flow in unsaturated porous media is inherently nonlocal. This nonlocality is also manifest in hysteresis in the classical Darcy conductivity. It is the authors' belief that most current theories of unsaturated/saturated flow are often inadequate, as they do not account for spatial nonlocality and memory. Here we provide a fundamental theory in which nonlocality of the flow constitutive theory is a natural consequence of force balances. The results are derived from general principles in statistical physics and under appropriate limiting conditions, the classical Darcy's Law is recovered for saturated flow. A notable departure in this theory from other nonlocal flow theories is that a classical Darcy type equation on a small scale need not exist.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary While in a previous work the ESR spectroscopic detection of irradiated dried fruits was reported, in this paper liquid chromatographic determination of the carbohydrate fraction of these fruits is introduced and connected with the ESR results. After irradiation of dried fruits three different types of ESR spectra are observed. In most cases the dried fruits can be attached to these various types by means of their sugar composition. It was also found that the ESR spectra observed for sucrose-rich fruits are very similar to that of pure sucrose. The structure of the ESR spectra can change with storage. Probably, radical rearrangement reactions in the samples are responsible for these changes.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nachdem in einer früheren Arbeit der ESR-spektroskopische Nachweis von strahlenbehandelten Trockenfrüchten besprochen wurde, wird in diesem Bericht die flüssigchromatographische Bestimmung der Kohlenhydratfraktion dieser Früchte vorgestellt und ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Zuckerzusammensetzung und den ESR-Signalstrukturen nachgewiesen. Die bei der Bestrahlung von Trockenfrüchten beobachteten ESR-Spektren lassen sich in 3 Typen unterteilen. Die Zuordnung der Trockenfrüchte zu den einzelnen Typen anhand ihrer Kohlenhydratzusammensetzung gelingt in einer überwiegenden Zahl der untersuchten Proben. Weiterhin wird festgestellt, daß die beobachteten ESR-Signale in ihrem Habitus denen der reinen bestrahlten Mono- und Disaccharide ähnlich sind. Dies trifft besonders für saccharosereiche Früchte und Saccharose zu. Die Struktur der ESR-Spektren strahlenbehandelter Trockenfrüchte kann sich über einen längeren Zeitraum ändern. Für die Veränderung werden radikalische Umwandlungen in der Probenmatrix verantwortlich gemacht.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary By means of a modified weight record technique, total dietary intake was obtained in 24 permanent nightshift workers during a period of 7 consecutive days; intake data were attached to eight defined meals. As a control, 25 shift workers of the same company were investigated during the morning shift. Mean daily energy intake was 2866±616 kcal (12.0±2.6 MJ) including 14% protein, 39.5% fat, 37.8% carbohydrates, and 8.7% alcohol. Statistically significant differences between groups were found for vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In both groups intake data for vitamin A, D, zinc and dietary fiber did not meet 3/4 of the recommandations of the German Nutrition Society. In contrast to controls, nutrient intake of the permanent nightshift workers was slightly less during weekend days; mean meal frequency decreased from 5.4 (weekday) to 4.3. The distribution of total daily nutrient intake to different meals partly did not agree with existing recommendations; however, the deviation seems reasonable. Regarding the risks for accidents as well as the working capacity, the relatively high alcohol intake during working hours has to be criticized.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 24 Dauernachtschicht-Arbeitern eines metallverarbeitenden Betriebs in Bayern wurde über einen Zeitraum von 7 aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen der gesamte Verzehr mit Hilfe der vereinfachten Wiegemethode erfaßt und 8 definierten Mahlzeiten zugeordnet. Als Kontrollgruppe dienten 25 Wechselschicht-Arbeiter in der Frühschicht desselben Betriebs. Eiweiß lieferte 14%, Fett 39,5%, Kohlenhydrate 37,8% und Alkohol 8,7% der durchschnittlichen täglichen Energiezufuhr in Höhe von 2866±616 kcal (12,0±2,6 MJ). Statistisch signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen bestanden für Vitamin E und mehrfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren. In beiden Gruppen erreichte die Aufnahme an Vitamin A, D, Zink und Ballaststoffen nicht 3/4 der Empfehlungen der DGE. Im Gegensatz zur Kontrollgruppe führten die Dauernachtschicht-Arbeiter an den Wochenenden geringfügig weniger Nährstoffe zu als an Werktagen; die durchschnittliche Mahlzeitenzahl verringerte sich von 5,4 (Werktag) auf 4,3. Die Verteilung der täglichen Nährstoffzufuhr auf einzelne Mahlzeiten an den Werktagen wich teilweise von bestehenden Empfehlungen ab, erscheint aber sinnvoll. Im Hinblick auf Unfallgefahren und Leistungsfähigkeit ist der relativ hohe Alkoholkonsum während der Arbeitszeit zu kritisieren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary From May to November 1991, a dietary survey in form of a 24-h-recall questionnaire was carried out in Zurich. For the first time, food data from a large, voluntary, undefined, selected collective was acquired (n=3653). The mean dietary fiber intake of the women was 30 g/day and of the men 33 g/day, which is comparable with various literature data. These values show a positive trend in the eating habits of the population. The dietary fiber intake was also considered in relation to the origin of the fibers.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In Zürich wurde von Mai bis November 1991 eine Ernährungserhebung in Form eines schriftlichen 24 hour recall durchgeführt. Erstmals wurden Verzehrszahlen eines überdurchschnittlich grossen, freiwilligen, nicht definiert ausgewählten Kollektivs erfasst (n=3653). Die durchschnittliche NF-Aufnahme der Frauen in Höhe von 30 g/Tag und der Männer in Höhe von 33 g/Tag ist mit diversen Literaturwerten vergleichbar und deutet auf eine positive Entwicklung im Ernährungsverhalten der Bevölkerung hin. Der NF-Verzehr wurde nach Herkunft der Fasern aufgeschlüsselt betrachtet.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Because of the unequal and, in some instances, low stability of different folate vitamers against extreme conditions the analytical determination of folate and the estimation of folate losses in food processing and preparation cause considerable difficulties. HPLC allows determination of the native folate derivative patterns. As the bioavailability of folates is influenced by a variety of factors and different methods were employed for assessing bioavailability there is a considerable inconsistency in the results of these studies. Folates labeled with radioactive or stable isotopes provide new approaches to metabolic and bioavailability studies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Wegen der unterschiedlichen, zum Teil geringen Stabilität der einzelnen Folatvitamere gegenüber extremen Bedingungen bereitet sowohl die analytische Folatbestimmung als auch die Abschätzung der Folatverluste bei der Lebensmittelverarbeitung und-zubereitung erhebliche Schwierigkeiten. Mit Hilfe der HPLC ist es möglich, Aussagen über das native Folatderivatmuster zu treffen. Da die Bioverfügbarkeit der Folate von vielen Faktoren beeinflußt wird und zur Bioverfügbarkeitsbestimmung unterschiedliche Methoden eingesetzt wurden, ist die Inkonsistenz der Ergebnisse erheblich. Mit radioaktiven oder stabilen Isotopen markierte Folate haben neue Wege in Bioverfügbarkeits- und Metabolismusuntersuchungen eröffnet.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The neurotransmitter serotonin significantly contributes to the regulation of food intake and appetite behaviour. The cerebral serotonin synthesis depends on the availability of the precursor tryptophan. To examine how diets with different carbohydrate, protein and tryptophan content affect food preferences and the mood, healthy obese and non-obese male adults consumed the following isocaloric diets at breakfast: standard diet (60 % carbohydrate), protein-rich diet (35 % carbohydrate, 40 % protein), carbohydrate-rich diet (80 % carbohydrate), tryptophan supplemented diet (standard diet +1.5 g tryptophan). The plasma concentration of tryptophan (TRP) and large neutral amino acids (LNAA) is determined by their uptake with the diet. In obese and non-obese adults the TRP/LNAA-quotient rose significantly by upto 0.40 to 0.57, following the tryptophan supplemented breakfast. The protein-rich diet reduced the TRP/LNAA-quotient. The preference of protein-rich food after the consumption of carbohydrate-rich diets (60–80 % carbohydrate) was diagnosable with the non-obese person and not with the obese person. No obvious connection was detected between nutrient preferences and plasma TRP/LNAA-quotient. There was no influence of the plasma TRP/LNAA-quotient after meals with different nutrient relation on mood. Therefore it is concluded that different carbohydrate and protein content and also additional tryptophan supplementation of single meals is not able to modify the brain serotonin synthesis and release in healthy people in a kind that serotonin induced behaviour would be changed, at least on a short time basis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung An der Regulation der Nahrungsaufnahme und des Appetitverhaltens ist das zentralnervöse serotoninerge System beteiligt. Die Syntheses des Neurotransmitters Serotonin ist dabei von der Verfügbarkeit der Vorstufe Tryptophan abhängig. In dieser Studie erhielten gesunde normal- und übergewichtige Probanden folgende normokalorische Frühstücksmahlzeiten: Standarddiät (Mischkost mit 60 % Kohlenhydrate), proteinreiches Frühstück (35 % Kohlenhydrate, 40 % Protein), kohlenhydratreiches Frühstück (80 % Kohlenhydrate), Tryptophan-supplementiertes Frühstück (Standarddiät +1,5 g Tryptophan). Es wurde untersucht, wie sich diese Testdiäten mit unterschiedlichem Kohlenhydrat/Protein-Verhältnis post-prandial auf die Nährstoffpräferenzen und die Befindlichkeit auswirken. Die Nahrungspräferenzen und die Befindlichkeit wurden mittels Fragebogen ermittelt und zu den Blutparametern (Tryptophan (TRP), langkettige neutrale Aminosäuren (LNAA), TRP/LNAA-Quotient, Serotonin) in Beziehung gesetzt. Die Tryptophan- und LNAA-Konzentrationen im Plasma korrelierten erwartungsgemäß mit ihrer Aufnahme mit der Nahrung. Der aus beiden Parametern ermittelte TRP/LNAA-Quotient nahm bei Normal- und Übergewichtigen nach dem Tryptophan-supplementierten Frühstück um bis zu 0,40 auf 0,57 zu. Nach der proteinreichen Diät war bei beiden Gewichtsgruppen der Quotient aufgrund der relativ erhöhten Aufnahme an LNAAs erniedrigt. Eine Bevorzugung von proteinreichen Lebensmitteln nach dem Verzehr von kohlenhydratreichen Kostformen (60–80 % Kohlenhydrate) war bei den normalgewichtigen Probanden festzustellen, nicht jedoch bei den Übergewichtigen. Zwischen den Nährstoffpräferenzen und dem Plasma-TRP/LNAA-Quotienten war aber kein eindeutiger Zusammenhang zu erkennen. Ein Einfluß des Plasma-TRP/LNAA-Quotienten auf die psychische Befindlichkeit konnte bei beiden Gewichtsgruppen ebenfalls nicht festgestellt werden. Offenbar läßt sich die zerebrale Serotoninsynthese und -freisetzung durch einmaligen Verzehr von Mahlzeiten mit unterschiedlicher Nährstoffrelation nicht in dem Maße beeinflussen, daß daraus serotoninvermittelte Verhaltensänderungen zu erwarten sind.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Fuzzy sets are especially suitable to evaluate the intake of a nutrient. For the evaluation of several components, the harmonic mean of the individual fuzzy values proves to be the best compromise. The mean of all nutrients results in the so called Prerow value, which can be used for the evaluation of the nutrition status. Maximizing the Prerow value is suitable for optimizing nutrition.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Fuzzy-Sets sind besonders gut geeignet, die Zufuhr eines Nährstoffes zu bewerten. Für die Bewertung mehrerer Nährstoffe erweist sich das harmonische Mittel der einzelnen Fuzzy-Werte als angemessener Kompromiß. Die Mittellung über alle Nährstoffe ergibt den sogenannten Prerow-Wert, der zur Beurteilung des Ernährungsstatus herangezogen werden kann und dessen Maximierung auch geeignet ist, Ernährung zu optimieren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Four groups of five fattening bulls each consumed a concentrate — wheat straw-diet (2.5 : 1) supplemented with either 0, 7, 14 or 21 % ground rape seed for 350 days. Rape seed contained 427 g crude fat (ether extract) and 127 mg vitamin E per kg dry matter. The supplementation with rapeseed increased the fat concentrations in the rations from 25 to 50, 75 and 100 g, and of vitamin E from 11 to 19, 26 and 34 mg per kg dry matter. All bulls were slaughtered with about 560 kg body weight. Fatty acid composition of depot fat and of the fat ofmusc. long. dorsi were determined by gas liquid chromatography. Vitamin E concentrations in blood, depot fat and muscle were determined by HPLC. Oxidative stability of depot fat was measured as induction time by means of rancimat-test. Rape seed supplementation decreased C16-fatty acids and increased C18-fatty acids in depot and muscle fat. Muscle fat contained significantly more mono and poly unsaturated fatty acids (40.2 and 7.4 %) than depot fat (33.5 and 2.0 %, respectively). Rape seed supplementation enhanced significantly the vitamin E-concentrations in all body samples. In depot fat vit. E increased from 4.5 to 7.3, 8.5 and 14.9 µg/g. Induction time increased from 10.9 to 18.5, 16.1 and 19.5 h, when 0, 7, 14 or 21 % rapessed were added.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In einem Einzelfütterungsversuch über 350 Tage wurden der Kraftfutter-Weizenstroh-Ration (2,5 : 1) von je 5 Mastbullen 0, 7, 14 bzw. 21 % geschrotete Rapssamen zugesetzt. Infolge des Fett- (427 g) und Vitamin-E-Gehaltes (127 mg je kg Trockensubstanz, TS) der Rapssamen stiegen der Rohfett- bzw. Vitamin-E-Gehalt der Ration von 25 über 50, 75 auf 100 g bzw. von 11 über 19, 26 auf 34 IE je kg TS an. Mit einer Endmasse von ≈ 560 kg wurden alle Tiere geschlachtet und das Fettsäurenmuster des Nieren- und Beckenhöhlenfettes und des intramuskulären Fettes im Musc. long. dorsi, der Vitamin-E-Gehalt in diesen Proben sowie im Blut und die Induktionszeit des Depotfettes mittels Rancimattest ermittelt. Der Rapssameneinsatz bewirkte sowohl im Depot- als auch im Muskelfett einen Abfall im Gehalt an C16- und einen Anstieg der C18-Fettsäuren. Das intramuskuläre Fett enthielt signifikant mehr Mono- und Polyenfettsäuren (40,2 und 7,4 %) als das Depotfett (33,5 und 2,0 %). Der Vitamin-E-Gehalt stieg mit Rapssamenzulage in allen untersuchten Tierkörperproben signifikant an, im Depotfett erhöhte er sich von 4,5 über 7,3, 8,5 auf 14,9 µg/g. Die oxidative Stabilität des Depotfettes, gemessen als Induktionszeit mittels Rancimattest, stieg nach Rapssamenzulage von 10,9 über 18,5, 16,1 auf 19,5 h an.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Homoargininmarkierung (Guanidinierung) dient zur Bestimmung der wahren präcaecalen Proteinverdaulichkeit. Die Proteinguanidinierung erfolgt bei alkalischem pH, was möglicherweise zur Bildung von D-Aminosäuren führt. Da D-Aminosäuren enthaltende Proteinein vitro eine verminderte Verdaulichkeit zeigen, könnte die Homoargininmethode eine falsch niedrige Proteinverdaulichkeit ergeben. Daher wurde das Ausmaß der Proteinrazemisierung während der Guanidinierung von Casein bei pH-Werten zwischen 9 und 11 und bei Temperaturen zwischen 4 und 65°C bestimmt. Optimale Guanidinierungsbedingungen lagen bei 4°C und einem pH-Wert von 10,5–11 oder bei 22°C und pH 10. Höhere pH-Werte bei 22°C führten ebenso wie Temperaturen über 22°C zur Bildung nicht mehr vernachlässigbarer Mengen von D-Aminosäuren.
    Notes: Summary Homoarginine labeling (guanidination) is used to calculate true prececal protein digestibility. A particular worry is that guanidination of proteins at alkaline pH might cause formation of D-amino acids. If D-amino acids show decreased protein digestibility in vivo, as seen in vitro, then the homoarginine method would underestimate protein digestibility. Therefore, the degree of protein racemization was measured during guanidination of casein at pH values between pH 9 and 11 and temperatures between 4o and 65°C. Optimal conditions for the guanidination reaction were 4°C and pH 10.5–11 or 22°C and pH 10. A higher pH value at 22°C or temperatures above 22°C at each pH leads to the formation of appreciable amounts of D-amino acids.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurden die quantitativen Veränderungen eines Sonnenblumenöls, das 15 mal aufeinanderfolgend für die Fritierung von Kartoffeln benutzt wurde, untersucht. Dazu wurden analytische Routinemethoden, wie die Gaschromatographie der Fettsäuren, die Bestimmung des Refraktions-und Farbindexes sowie der Säurezahl mit einer absorptionschromatographischen Methode zur Bestimmung der polaren Verbindungen, die während des Fritierens entstehen, verglichen. Der Gehalt polarer Verbindungen stieg signifikant (p〈0,05) von 6,2±0,3 mg/100 mg Öl auf 18,7±0,8 mg/100 mg Öl bei der letzten Fritierung. Die Konzentration an Linolensäure verminderte sich dagegen signifikant (p〈0,05) von 53,8±0,2 mg/100 mg Öl auf 48,1±0,8 mg/100 mg Öl beim 15. Durchgang. Der Gehalt an Ölsäure veränderte sich dagegen nicht. Der Farbindex und die Säurezahl stiegen signifikant (p〈0,05) nach 15 Fritierungen. Die Veränderung des Farbindexes, der Säurezahl und des Gesamtgehalts polarer Verbindungen wiesen eine hohe und signifikante Korrelation zur Anzahl der Fritierungen auf (0,98〉r〉0,933; p〈0,01). Der Gehalt an Linolensäure zeigte ebenfalls eine signifikante Korrelation zur Anzahl der Fritierungen (r=−0,692; p〈0,05). Die Säurezahl und der Farbindex sowie der Gehalt an Linolensäure zeigten ebenfalls eine hohe und signifikante Korrelation zum Anteil der polaren Verbindungen (r=−0,9272 bzw. r=0,9065 bzw. r=−0,764; alle p〈0,01). Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, daß Routinemethoden, wie Säurezahl oder Farbindex, die wir für die Bestimmungen im Sonnenblumenöl benutzt haben, genauso nützlich sein können wie andere mehr spezifische Methoden, wenn man die Ausgangswerte dieser Indizes für das zu behandelnde Öl hat.
    Notes: Summary The alteration of a sunflower oil used repeatedly and discontinuously for frying potatoes on 15 successive occasions was studied. For this purpose, standard analytical indexes, such as fatty acids, gas chromatography, refraction and color indexes, and acid value were compared with a chromatographic method that quantifies the polar compounds originated during fryings. Total polar content increased significantly (p〈0.05) from 6.2±0.3 mg/100 mg oil to 18.7±0.8 mg/100 mg oil in the last frying. Linoleic acid decreased significantly (p〈0.05) from 53.8±0.2 mg/100 mg oil to 48.1±0.8 mg/100 mg oil at the 15th frying, while oleic acid concentration remained unaltered throughout the frying operations. The color index, and acid value, showed a significant increase (p〈0.05) after 15 fryings. Color index, acid value, and total polar content highly and significantly correlated with the number of fryings (0.981〉r〉0.933; p〈0.01). Linoleic acid concentrations also significantly correlated (r=−0.692; p〈0.05) with the number of fryings performed. Acid value, color index, and linoleic acid concentration also showed high and significant correlation with the percentage of total polar component of the oil (r=0.9272, r=0.9065 and r=−0.764 respectively; all p〈0.01). These data suggest that standard methods such as acid value and color index can be applied and are as useful as silica-gel chromatographic evaluation in the monitoring of frying operations, provided that initial values of both the color index and acid value are available.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 27 microorganisms were tested for their ability to degrade extracellular purines as sole sources of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. Beside adenine, guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, and urate as free purine bases, this test included 5′-AMP, 5′-GMP, 5′-XMP, and 5′-IMP, as well as DNA and RNA as purine compounds. Generally, only a limited number of microbial species was capable of metabolizing the substances named above. Compared to the other species,Paracoccus denitrificans showed the greatest substrate spectrum, including the free bases as well as the mononucleotides. However, the polymers DNA and RNA were not degraded.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 27 Mikroorganismen wurden auf ihre Fähigkeit zum Abbau extrazellulärer Purine als alleinige Kohlenstoff-, Stickstoff- und Energiequellen untersucht. Dieser Test umfaßte neben den freien Purinbasen Adenin, Guanin, Xanthin, Hypoxanthin und Urat deren Verbindungen 5′-AMP, 5′-GMP, 5′-XMP und 5′-IMP sowie DNA und RNA. Allgemein betrachtet war nur eine begrenzte Zahl von Mikroorganismen zur Metabolisierung der genannten Substanzen befähigt. Im Vergleich mit den übrigen Spezies wiesParacoccus denitrificans das größte Substratspektrum auf, das sowohl die freien Basen als auch die Mononukleotide umfaßte. Die Polymere DNA und RNA wurden jedoch nicht abgebaut.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A total of 51 athletes, randomly divided into two groups (with or without zinc supplementation) and respective two subgroups (with or without cereal diet) had been tested for their serum levels in respect of zinc, ferrum, copper, phosphorus and potassium over a period of 8 weeks, i.e. during a period of competition. Furthermore, subpopulations of lymphocytes were defined. Modifications of the immunologic defense mechanism with special regard to the zinc level could, however, not be detected. Minerals, i.e. zinc and ferrum revealed to decrease significantly during simultaneous uptake of certain amounts of the cereal products. This is due to the relatively high amounts of phytates in cereals which are capable to bind the trace elements in form of complex salts.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 51 Leistungssportlern, die randomisiert in je zwei Kollektive (mit bzw. ohne Zinksupplementierung) und jeweilige Untergruppen (mit bzw. ohne 200 g Getreideflocken) eingeteilt wurden, untersuchten wir die Serumspiegel von Zink, Eisen, Kupfer, Phosphor und Kalium über einen Zeitraum von 8 Wochen während der Wettkampfperiode. Außerdem wurden auch die Subpopulationen der Lymphozyten bestimmt. Veränderungen in der immunologischen Abwehrlage unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Zinkspiegels fanden sich jedoch nicht. Bei den Serumwerten zeigte sich eine signifikante Abnahme von Zink und Eisen, wenn die Sportler gleichzeitig eine gewisse Menge von Getreiderohkost zu sich nahmen. Ursache hierfür ist vermutlich der relativ hohe Gehalt an Phytaten im Getreide, die Spurenelemente in Form von Komplexsalzen binden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Während eines Ausdauerlaufs (1000 km in 20 Tagen) wurde untersucht, ob eine ovo-lakto-vegetarische Kost (OLVD) den Nährstoffbedarf von Ausdauersportlern decken kann. Als Vergleichskost diente eine konventionelle Kostform (RWD). Beide Kostformen wurden mit einem Energiegehalt von 4500 kcal pro Tag und mit einem Nahrungsenergieanteil von Kohlenhydraten:Fett:Protein im Verhältnis von 60:30:10 angeboten. Die Läufer wurden — entsprechend ihrer üblichen Ernährungsgewohnheiten — in zwei Ernährungsgruppen eingeteilt. Die Ergebnisse der 55 Läufer, die das Ziel erreichten, zeigten, da\ sich Läufer aus beiden Gruppen prozentual die gleiche Menge an Nahrungsenergie, Kohlenhydraten, Fett und Protein zuführten. Läufer der ovo-lakto-vegetarischen Gruppe nahmen mehr Ballaststoffe und mehrfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren sowie weniger Cholesterin auf. Mit Ausnahme von Natriumchlorid und Cobalamin war die Aufnahme der berechneten Mineralstoffe und Vitamine in der ovo-lakto-vegetarischen Gruppe höher und überschritten die offiziellen Nährstoffempfehlungen. Diese Studie zeigt, daß eine ovo-lakto-vegetarische Kost mit einer hohen Nährstoffdichte den Nährstoffbedarf eines Ausdauersportlers angemessen decken kann. Die Zufuhr und Resorption von Eisen bedarf bei jeder Kostform einer genauen Überwachung.
    Notes: Summary During an endurance run (1000 km in 20 days) it was investigated whether an ovo-lactovegetarian diet (OLVD) could cover the nutritional requirements of endurance athletes. A regular western diet (RWD) was used as reference. Both diets were offered with an energy content of 4500 kcal per day and an energy percentage of carbohydrate:fat:protein of 60:30:10. The runners were divided into two dietary groups according to their usual dietary habits. The results of the 55 participants who completed the race show that runners from both groups had the same intake of energy, carbohydrate, fat and protein. Runners of the OLVD group consumed more dietary fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as less cholesterol. With the exception of sodium chloride and cobalamine, the intake of the calculated minerals and vitamins was higher in the OLVD and exceeded the official recommendations. This study shows that an OLVD with a high nutrient density is adequate to cover the nutritional requirements of endurance-athletes. The intake and absorption of iron should be monitored closely in all diet groups.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The health of children in poor countries is determined by their nutritional status and by the economic conditions of their families and societies. Socioeconomic differences are correlated with the infant mortality rate (IMR). The decline of the IMR in the industrialized countries mainly occurred before 1960. Programs for Primary Health Care cannot cope with the deterioration of economic problems due to the disadvantaged position of the poor countries in the world market. The typical clinical pattern of diseases in childhood in the tropics is essentially determined by the nutritional status (e.g. measles). The advantages of breastfeeding also relate to the immune response after immunization. The HIV-epidemic requires social assistance for the future of the AIDS-orphans in the first line. Additional assistance is needed for the procurement of medication, otherwise HIV-infected patients are in competition with non-HIV-infected patients.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Gesundheitssituation von Kindern in armen Ländern ist entscheidend geprägt von ihrem Ernährungszustand und dem wirtschaftlichen Status ihrer Familien und Gesellschaften. Sozioökonomische Unterschiede korrelieren mit der Säuglingssterberate (SSR) in den Ländern der Erde. Die Senkung der SSR in den Industrieländern hat wesentlich bereits vor 1960 stattgefunden. Programme zur primären Gesundheitspflege können nicht die Probleme auffangen, die durch wirtschaftliche Benachteiligung erschwert werden. Das klinische Bild von Kinderkrankheiten in den Tropen wird entscheidend durch den Ernährungszustand geprägt (Beispiel Masern). Die Vorteile des Stillens betreffen auch die Impfantworten. Die HIV-Epidemie fordert in erster Linie soziale Hilfen, damit die AIDS-Waisen eine Zukunft bekommen. Weitere Hilfe muß der Medikamentenversorgung gelten, da sonst HIV-Infizierte und Nicht-Infizierte miteinander in Konkurrenz geraten.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Two experiments with sows were performed to investigate the effect of isoenergetic replacement of starch by fish oil or olive oil on concentrations of lipids in plasma and lipoproteins. The first experiment was based on a cross-over design with three periods, each lasting 16 days. Each sow was fed during one of the periods a basal ration with isoenergetic addition of (1) starch (495 g/d), (2) olive oil (221 g/d), or (3) fish oil (223 g/d) based on energetic requirement for maintainance. The second experiment was based on a cross-over design with eight periods, each lasting 16 days. In the first and in the last periods, each sow was fed the basal ration. In the other six periods, each sow was fed the basal ration with addition of two different amounts of (1) starch (284/568 g/d), (2) olive oil (140/281 g/d), or (3) fish oil (141/282 g/d). The two different amounts of addition were selected to exceed the energetic requirement for maintainance by 25 % or 50 %. In both experiments blood samples were taken before each change of the ration. In both experiments olive oil elevated the concentration of cholesterol in plasma in comparison with starch. This elevation was due to a large elevation in high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and a slight elevation in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL). The ratio between HDL and LDL cholesterol was increased by feeding olive oil. The effect of olive oil on concentrations of cholesterol in plasma and lipoproteins was dose-dependent. In both experiments none of the two dietary oils significantly changed concentrations of triglycerides in plasma and lipoproteins. Concentrations of phospholipids in plasma, HDL, and LDL were elevated by olive oil. In both experiments addition of fish oil elevated concentration of cholesterol in plasma due to elevated cholesterol concentration in LDL. Concentration of HDL cholesterol was not changed by fish oil. Thus, the ratio between HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol was lowered by fish oil. The effect of fish oil on concentration of cholesterol in plasma and lipoproteins was also dose-dependent. Fish oil had no significant effect on phospholipid concentrations in plasma and lipoproteins. In conclusion, in the present experiment olive oil caused antiatherogenic changes of the lipoprotein profile, whereas fish oil caused proatherogenic changes of the lipoprotein profile.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Es wurden zwei Versuche mit Sauen durchgeführt, um die Wirkung des isoenergetischen Austausches von Stärke durch Fischöl und Olivenöl auf die Konzentration der Lipide im Plasma und in den Lipoproteinen zu untersuchen. Im ersten Versuch erhielten 9 nichtgravide Sauen in einem Cross-over Design mit 3 Versuchsperioden jeweils 16 Tage lang eine Grundration plus isoenergetischer Zulage an (I) Stärke (495 g/Tag), (II) Olivenöl (221 g/Tag) und (III) Fischöl (223 g/Tag) auf energetischem Erhaltungsniveau. Im zweiten Versuch erhielten 8 nichtgravide Sauen in einem Cross-over Design mit 8 Versuchsperioden jeweils 16 Tage lang eine Grundration auf energetischem Erhaltungsniveau plus zwei Zulagestufen an (I) Stärke (284 bzw. 568 g/Tag), (II) Olivenöl (140 bzw. 281 g/Tag) und (III) Fischöl (141 bzw. 282 g/Tag). Die beiden Zulagestufen waren so gewählt, daß der energetische Erhaltungsbedarf um 25 % bzw. 50 % überschritten wurde. In der ersten und der letzten Versuchsperiode wurde jeweils nur die Grundration gefüttert. In beiden Versuchen wurden unmittelbar vor jeder Umstellung der Versuchsration Blutproben entnommen. Olivenöl erhöhte in beiden Versuchen im Vergleich zur isoenergetischen Stärkeration die Konzentration des Cholesterins im Plasma, basierend auf einem starken Anstieg in den high-density Lipoproteinen (HDL) und einem mäßigen Anstieg in den low-density Lipoproteinen (LDL) und den very low-density Lipoproteinen (VLDL). Der Quotient aus HDL- und LDL-Cholesterin wurde durch Olivenölzulage erhöht. Die Konzentration der Triglyceride wurde in beiden Versuchen durch die beiden Öle nicht signifikant beeinflußt. Die Konzentration der Phospholipide wurde durch Olivenöl im Plasma sowie in den HDL und den LDL erhöht. Die Wirkung des Olivenöls auf die Konzentrationen von Cholesterin und Phospholipiden in Plasma und Lipoproteinen war dosisabhängig. Fischölzulage erhöhte im Vergleich zur isoenergetischen Stärkeration die Cholesterinkonzentration im Plasma, basierend auf einem Anstieg in den LDL. Die Konzentration des Cholesterins in der HDL-Fraktion änderte sich nicht, so daß unter Fischölzulage ein vermindertes Verhältnis zwischen HDL- und LDL-Cholesterin auftrat. Die Wirkung des Fischöls auf die Konzentrationen von Cholesterin in Plasma und Lipoproteinen war ebenfalls dosisabhängig. Fischölzulage hatte keinen signifikanten Einfluß auf die Konzentrationen der Phospholipide im Plasma und in den Lipoproteinen. Insgesamt führte unter den gewählten Versuchsbedingungen der Ersatz der Stärke durch Olivenöl zu einer antiatherogen Verschiebung des Lipoproteinprofils, Fischöl hingegen zu einer proatherogenen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Acht Wochen nach der Absetzung männlicher Ratten (Stamm Wistar) wurden die Tiere mit zwei Diätvarianten gefüttert: Die erste erhielt eine Zugabe von 0,3% Cholesterol, die zweite zusätzlich noch 5% von getrocknetem und gemahlenem Austernpilz. Die Zugabe von Austernpilz zur Cholesteroldiät verursachte eine Herabsetzung des Serumcholesterolspiegels um 33% und des Cholesterolgehaltes in der Leber um 27%. Der Gehalt an Serumtriazylglyzerolen wurde durch die Pilzzugabe zur Diät nicht beeinflußt, aber deren Gehalt in der Leber wurde um 41% verringert. An der Herabsetzung des Serumcholesterolspiegels waren die Lipoproteine von sehr niedriger Dichte mit 55% und die Lipoproteine von niedriger Dichte mit 38% beteiligt. Der Cholesterolgehalt in Lipoproteinen hoher Dichte wurde durch den Austernpilz nicht signifikant beeinflußt. Die Austernpilzzugabe zur Diät setzte die Cholesterolabsorption signifikant um 14% herab, was mittels der Verhältnismethode der Dualisotopenplasma-Methode bestimmt wurde. Die Austernpilze enthaltende Diät beschleunigte um 37% den Fraktionsveränderungsgrad des Cholesterols, was mittels der Zerfallskurvenanalyse von 4−14C-Cholesterol bestimmt wurde.
    Notes: Summary The content of cholesterol in the serum and liver of male Wistar rats fed, for the period of 8 weeks shortly after weaning, a diet containing 0.3% of cholesterol was reduced by 33 and 27% by the addition of 5% of dried oyster mushroom powder. Although the level of serum triacylglycerols was not affected by oyster mushroom, their content in liver of rats on mushroom diet was reduced by 41%. Very-low-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins participated by 55 and 38%, respectively, in the total reduction of serum cholesterol. Cholesterol content in high-density lipoproteins was not significantly affected by oyster mushroom. Cholesterol absorption as determined by dual-isotope plasma ratio method was significantly reduced by 14% with oyster mushroom diet. Similarly, this diet increased by 42% the fractional catabolic rate of cholesterol determined by the analysis of decay curve of [4−14C]cholesterol.

    Notes: Summary Organosolv lignin was used as organic filler for polypropylene (PP) and poly(ethene-co-vinylacetate) (EVA) containing 13wt-% vinylacetate. As a function of the lignin content, which was varied between 0 and 30wt-%, mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, yield stress, fracture stress, and elongation at break of the thermoplastic lignin-based compounds were measured. Both lignin-filled thermoplastics exhibit pronounced matrix reinforcement with increasing lignin content. Due to better interfacial adhesion between lignin and EVA, 30wt-% lignin addition to EVA doubles Young's modulus without sacrificing high elongation at break.

    Notes: Summary 4-Vinylphthalic anhydride can be prepared from phthalic acid via bromination and subsequent olefination (Heck-reaction). Homo- and copolymerization with styrene was accomplished using AIBN as initiator. The copolymer compositions were determined by infrared-spectroscopy. The copolymerization parameters are rs=0,15 and rVPA=3,09, the corresponding Q, e values of 4-vinylphthalic anhydride are estimated as Q=3,34 and e=0.09. Despite the fact that the molecular weights were rather low as a consequence of the reaction contions, the glass transition temperatures rise with increasing VPA content. The homopolymer has a glass transition temperature in the order of 226°C.

    Notes: Summary Immiscible melt mixed blends of a crystallisable polyolefin (isotactic polypropylene, PP) and atactic polystyrene (PS) were prepared in a wide composition range. It was found that when PP is the major component in the blend its crystallisation behaviour is not affected by blending it with PS. However if PP is the minor component, it will be dispersed in the immiscible PS matrix, hence the nucleation mechanism changes from predominantly heterogeneous to predominantly homogeneous as long as the size of the dispersed PP droplets is below a critical value (of the order of 1–2 μm).

    Notes: Summary A satisfactory synthesis route to a new monomer, the 3-chloro-4-nitrostyrene (3-CNS) is described. The results of free radical polymerisation experiments (limit of conversion, global kinetics) are reported by comparison with those of the isomer 4-chloro-3-nitrostyrene (4-CNS). They show the great influence of the nitro group position which markedly increases the reactivity of 3-CNS.

    Notes: Summary The isothermal crystallization kinetics of the isotactic content of three poly(1-hexadecene) samples with different tacticity has been studied by real-time small-angle X-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation. The process was analyzed in terms of the Avrami equation. The value of the Avrami exponent was found to be approximately 1, suggesting instantaneous nucleation followed by rod-like growth. The results are compared with those previously obtained by differential scanning calorimetry.

    Notes: Summary In the present work we report the results of the polymerization of styrene using diphenylzinc-butanone, Ph2Zn-MeCOEt. Our results indicate that these systems induce the polymerization of styrene reaching a larger conversion when the molar ratio MeCOEt/Ph2Zn=1,0. According to size exclusion chromatography, SEC, studies of the polystyrene obtained using the Ph2Zn-MeCOEt showed unimodal curves and have molecular weight distribution narrower than those obtained using the Ph2Zn-H2O system, suggesting a more simple reaction system.

The oligomer was dissolved in the resin containing styrene crosslinker. Later this mixture was crosslinked at room temperature using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide catalyst and cobalt naphtanate as promoter. The tensile strength of the IPN's decreases as the concentration of oligomer increases, whereas, elongation to break increases. A characterization of the oligomer used is also presented.

    Notes: Summary The impact properties of 1:1 polyolefin-polystyrene blends compatibilised with a series of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymers of various structures have been studied with a view to establishing a structure-property realationship. The most effective compatibiliser in this context appears to be a low molecular weight triblock (Kraton G1652). Addition of only 5% Kraton G1652 affords a ca. three-fold improvement in the impact strength for a 1:1 PP/PS blend over the uncompatibilised blend and leads to near HIPS impact strength for a 1:1 LDPE/PS blend. This compatibiliser is as effective as a high molecular weight tapered diblock and appears to be substantially more effective than either low molecular weight diblocks or a higher molecular weight triblock.

    Notes: Summary In the copolymerizations of 1-chloro-1-octyne (ClOc) and 1-chloro-2-phenylacetylene (ClPA) with norbornene (NBE) by MoCl5-n-Bu4Sn in toluene at-20°C, both comonomers were consumed simultaneously. The GPC curves of the copolymerization products were unimodal and identical irrespective of the RI and UV (290 nm) detectors. The13C NMR spectra of the products exhibited the presence of cross-propagating sequences. From these results, it is concluded that the copolymerization products are copolymers and not mixtures of homopolymers. The monomer reactivity ratios were: rClOc=0.69, rNBE=6.4; rClPA=1.0, rNBE=3.1. The more electron-donating the ring substituent of CiPA, the more reactive the ClPA in copolymerization with NBE.

    Notes: Summary Polymerization of 1-phenyl-2-(p-phenoxyphenyl)acetylene (p-PhODPA), 1-phenyl-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)acetylene, and 1-phenyl-2-(p-n-butoxyphenyl)acetylene was examined. These monomers polymerized with TaCl5-n-Bu4Sn to give methanol-insoluble polymers in over 60% yields. Poly(p-PhODPA) was a yellow solid completely soluble in toluene, CHCl3, etc., and its weight-average molecular weight was about 1.0x106 or higher. This polymer was thermally very stable (the onset temperature of weight loss in TGA in air was 420 °C). Its oxygen permeability coefficient (P o 2) was 37 barrers (P o 2/P n 2 2.2) and similar to that of natural rubber. In contrast, the other two polymers did not completely dissolve in any organic solvent, and their thermal stability was lower.

    Notes: Summary Chelating polymers obtained by copolymerization of methacryl-oylmalodiethylester (MMDEt) with styrene, methylmethacrylate (MMA), N-vinylpyrrolidone (VPD) and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAM) as well as the homopolymer of methacryloylmalodiethylester (MMDEt) have been investigated. Watersoluble chelating polymers derived from copolymerization with DMAM offer not only the possibility of a very fast removal of metal ions from aqueous solution, but are also insoluble after complexing certain metal ions and can therefore be separated by filtration. As additional investigations on the model acetyloylmalodiethylester (AMDEt) show, preferably hard metal ions such as Mg2+, Ca2+, Al3+ and Cu2+ with an ionic radius up to 1 Å are chelated by the enolic form of the β-ketodiester. The number of ligands for a metal ion corresponds to its valence.

    Notes: Summary The 300 MHz 1H-NMR spectrum of free radical initiated poly(3-bromostyrene) is similar to the 1H-NMR spectra of certain poly(vinyl heterocycles) and can be interpreted in a like manner. The 13C-NMR is typical of spectra for meta-substituted polystyrenes, with some of the carbon resonances showing a sensitivity to polymer stereochemistry. The spectra indicate that poly(3-bromostyrene) synthesized by free radical initiation is an atactic polymer.

    Notes: Summary Thermal molecular motion of a series of comb-shaped polymers with heptadecafluorodecyl side chains (CF 8C2-) has been studied based on dynamic viscoelastic measurement. The main chain of comb-shaped polymers was poly(fumarate), poly(methacrylate), and poly(acrylate). Poly(fluoroalkylfumarate) with heptadecafluorodecyl group, P(CF 8C2-iPF) was amorphous polymer, whereas poly(acrylate) and poly(methacrylate) with CF 8C2-, P(CF 8C2-Acr) and P(CF 8C2-MAcr) showed mesomorphic behavior. The pervaporation behavior of water/organic mixtures through amorphous polymer, P(CF 8C2-iPF), and mesomorphic one, P(CF 8C2-Acr), were investigated. The distinct increase in permselectivity has been observed at the mesomorphic transition of P(CF 8C2-Acr).

    Notes: Sammary New donor-acceptor substituted diarylacetylene hyperpolarizable chromophores bearing an amino group as donor and a methylsulfonyl group as acceptor at each extremities of an azatolane conjugated path have been designed to get a good nonlinearity-transparency trade-off, and synthesized. Corresponding methacrylate esters have been obtained then submitted to free radical polymerization, leading to novel side-chain nonlinear optical polymers and copolymers.

    Notes: Summary An attempt is made to extend the model of Leibler for the emulsifying activity and interfacial properties of A-b-B diblock copolymers in incompatible blends of the homopolymers A and B-which are identical with the respective copolymer components- to enthalpically interacting C-b-D diblock copolymers, the block C being thermodynamically compatible with A and D with B. Due to the attractive enthalpic interaction the A/C-b-D/B compatibilized blends are promising for optimum phase adhesion (bold types for thermodynamically compatible partners). Thus, the extended model for a plane interfacial layer includes the enthalpic interaction of the compatible polymer pairs beside the entropic effects. The approach starts with the equillibrium supposition, not taking into consideration enthalpy driven migration effects of the block copolymer from the bulk to the interface, The model confirms a dominant role of the enthalpic interaction between blocks of the diblock copolymer and the respective homopolymers to the compatibilization of incompatible blend components. It is applicable also for blends compatibilized with block copolymers of unfavourable repulsive type interaction, A/C-b-D/B, and for blend systems with mixed type interactions, e. g. A/C-b-B/B or A/C-b-D/B.

    Notes: Summary Poly(2-fluoro-1,4-phenylenevinylene), PFPV, and its copolymers have been synthesized via water soluble precursor route and their electrical and optical propreties were measured. It seems that electron-withdrawing fluorine substituent on phenylene ring increases the band-gap of PFPV and it affects electrical and optical properties. The conductivity values of FeCl3-doped drawn polymer films ranged from 10-1 to 101 Scm-1 depending on their composition, and were 10 times larger than those of undrawn ones. The χ(3) value for undrawn PFPV, using THG technique at 1907nm fundamental wavelength, was 4.76x10-12 esu.

    Notes: Summary A simple method for using differential scanning calorimeters to determine the crystallinity of syndiotactic polystyrene has been developed. Its validity was confirmed by use of infrared and x-ray analysis, as well as comparison to data from the literature. This method will be used to determine the effect of nucleating agents, shear stress, and temperature on the crystallization kinetics of syndiotactic polystyrene.

    Notes: Summary Polyether-modified fullerenes have been prepared under mild conditions by reacting C60 or C70 in toluene with a precursor poly(oxyethylene) or poly(oxypropylene) polymer possessing amino end-groups. In the early stages of the interaction, soluble products are formed. Later, cross-linking proceeds between the polyfunctional fullerenes and the bifunctional polyethers. The non-crosslinked fullerene derivatives are soluble both in toluene and water; by evaporation of toluene, very adhesive films are formed.

    Notes: Summary Racemic ((3S,4R)-(3R,4S))-3-methyl-4-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-oxetanone has been prepared by a simple and reproductible method starting from a racemic mixture of threo-((2S,3S)-(2R,3R))-3-methylaspartic acid as chiral precursor. This α, β substituted β-lactone has been polymerized anionically, using tetraethylammonium benzoate as initiator, to yield high molecular weight and amorphous racemic threo-poly(β-benzyl-3-methylmalate). The catalytic cleavage of protecting benzyl ester groups has been conducted in different solvents and racemic threo-poly(β-3-methylmalic acid) has been obtained in N-methylpyrrolidone at room temperature. Racemic threo-poly(β-3-methylmalic acid-co-benzyl-β-3-methylmalate) has been prepared by heterogeneous H2/Pd charchoal catalyzed partial hydrogenolysis of the polymer precursor. Solubility of these different materials has been considered. Hydrolysis of threo-poly(β-3-methylmalic acid) has conducted to racemic threo-3-methylmalic acid. High resolution 13C NMR and selective INEPT NMR have been used for resonances assignment of polymers and copolymers. This new poly(β-hydroxy acid) type polyester expands the family of poly(β-malic acid) derivatives by opening the route for tailor making functional polystereoisomers with two stereogenic centers in the main chain and with the presence of an hydrophobic alkyl group and an hydrophilic carboxylic acid group in the macromolecule.

    Notes: Summary The dependence of intensity of surface enhanced Raman scattering on the concentration of poly (4-vinyl pyridine) solutions was investigated. The spectral quality and the Raman scattering intensities of the enhanced spectra of poly (4-vinyl pyridine) adsorbed on nitric acid-roughened silver foil were inversely proportional to the concentration when it changed from semi-dilute to very dilute. The band intensity-concentration plot displays a turning point corresponding to the critical concentration for coil shrinkage. The observed phenomena are in accordance with Qian's proposal for the existence of C s for coil shrinkage in dilute solution.

    Notes: Summary The unconventional liquid chromatography of polymers under limiting conditions of their solubility was applied to poly(methyl methacrylate)s differing in their tacticity. The polymers were dissolved in thermodynamically good solvents and injected into an appropriate size exclusion chromatographic (SEC) column flushed with matched, moderately strong nonsolvents. The set of (limiting) conditions was found under which less soluble syndiotactic poly(methyl, methacrylate) moved along the column together with the zone of its initial solvent while better soluble isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) was eluted according to the SEC mechanism. This indicates the potential of liquid chromatography under limiting conditions to characterize the tacticity of poly(methyl methacrylate)s.

    Notes: Summary Dynamic mechanical properties of poly(dimethylphenyl methacrylátes) were studied considering the different positions of the methyl groups on the phenyl ring. In all cases a clear α relaxation can be observed which is associated to the polymer glass transition temperature (Tg). Nevertheless, at lower temperatures, viscoelastic activity is negligible. A correlation between the steric hindrance due to the methyl groups and the temperature at which the relaxation is detected, was established.

    Notes: Summary Dielectric permittivity and loss have been measured over the frequency range 10-2 Hz-10 kHz between 100 K and 350 K for samples of 50/50 mixtures of each of two hyperbranched polyesters, one five-generation hydroxy functional (5G-OH) and one threegeneration alkyl-terminated polymer (3G), with dielectrically inactive linear polyethylene. The thermal transitions of the hyperbranched polymers were studied with differential scanning calorimetry. Three relaxation transitions were found in 5G-OH: α, the glass-rubber transition and two subglass processes denoted β and γ showing Arrhenius temperature dependence both with an activation energy of 96±2kJ mol-1. The low temperature process could be assigned to motions of the terminal hydroxyl groups whereas β is due to reorientation of the ester groups. Sample 3G showed only a glass transition and one subglass process being assigned to reorientation of the ester groups. The high activation energy (202 kJ mol-1) of this process indicates that the ester groups are highly constrained in this polymer.

    Notes: Summary The chemistry of poly(methyl methacrylate) subjected to 193-nm radiation, emitted by an argon-fluorine excimer laser, was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From the O/C atomic ratios measured at two different sampling depths, it is concluded that the role of depolymerization in the laser ablation process may be less important than previously suggested.

    Notes: Summary Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB)was found to precipitate from a clear plasticizer solution as it was cooled and this unique temperature (TP) (UCST) was noted. Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) did not precipitate and in this case the temperature at which it went into solution (TS) was noted. A quantity, referred to previously as the miscibility parameter (MP), is an excellent relative quantitative indicator of the miscibility of poly(vinyl butyral) and poly(vinyl chloride) with plasticizers as demonstrated from a correlation of MP with TP and Ts. Each polymer-plasticizer system is unique. A plot of MP vs. TP or TS for several polymer-plasticizer systems allows additional plasticizers to be evaluated for their plasticizing ability from calculated MP's without resorting to additional experimental measurements. The absolute level of MP acceptability is dictated by the application. For PVB, a copolymer which precipitates from a plasticizer/solvent, the interaction parameter chi(χ) is chi critical ( $$\chi _{cr} $$ ) at the TP of PVB in plasticizer. Since TP approximates the Θ temperature in the limit of molecular weight, the temperature of precipitation or Θ temperature, the solvent volume VS, and the $$\chi _{cr} $$ , define the theoretical MPcr as given by $$\frac{{(\chi _{cr} - 0.35)RT}}{{V_S }}$$ . All MPcr s were≈0.3 which represents the critical MP above which phase separation occurs. The low molecular weight plasticizers were estimated to drastically increase MPcr to about 1 for acceptable application compatibility and this value compares favorably with (PVB) acceptability for a wide range of plasticizer-PVB combinations based on a plasticizer DP of about 20.

    Notes: Summary Frictional forces are very sensitive to the interface structure and the chemical and atomic structure of surfaces. It has been shown in the late 80′s (1) that lateral forces due to friction can be measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in the contact mode (2,3). This involves measurements which evoke vertical deflection of the AFM probe and observation of lateral forces which twist the AFM force sensor. A simultaneous detection of vertical deflection and twisting of the microcantilever can be done by using a four-sectored positional sensitive photodetector which measures the change in the deflection of a laser light reflected off the top of the microcantilever. The newest generation of SPM (Scanning Probe Microscope) equipment allows for simultaneous AFM and Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) scans. There is ample evidence in the literature that contact-mode AFM can be used not only to investigate polymer morphology (4,5), but also to study polymer architecture from a true molecular perspective (6).

    Notes: Abstract The influence of binary mixtures of heptane with different diluents on the porous structure of styrene-divinylbenzene (Sty-DVB) copolymers was investigated. It was found that the porosity produced by the diluent mixtures depends not only on the affinity of each diluent for the copolymer but also on the interaction of the diluent molecules with themselves. In this work it was observed that some polar aromatic solvents when mixed with heptane presented cosolvency effects. In general, the accessible pore volumes were higher than the fixed pore ones, indicating the formation of elastic internuclear chains.

    Notes: Abstract This paper investigates analytical solutions of stochastic Darcy flow in randomly heterogeneous porous media. We focus on infinite series solutions of the steady-state equations in the case of continuous porous media whose saturated log-conductivity (lnK) is a gaussian random field. The standard deviation of lnK is denoted ‘σ’. The solution method is based on a Taylor series expansion in terms of parameter σ, around the value σ=0, of the hydraulic head (H) and gradient (J). The head solution H is expressed, for any spatial dimension, as an infinite hierarchy of Green's function integrals, and the hydraulic gradient J is given by a linear first-order recursion involving a stochastic integral operator. The convergence of the ‘σ-expansion’ solution is not guaranteed a priori. In one dimension, however, we prove convergence by solving explicitly the hierarchical sequence of equations to all orders. An ‘infinite-order stochastic solution is obtained in the form of a σ-power series that converges for any finite value of σ. It is pointed out that other expansion methods based on K rather than lnK yield divergent series. The infinite-order solution depends on the integration method and the boundary conditions imposed on individual order equations. The most flexible and general method is that based on Laplacian Green's functions and boundary integrals. Imposing zero head conditions for all orders greater than one yields meaningful far-field gradient conditions. The whole approach can serve as a basis for treatment of higher-dimensional problems.

    Notes: Abstract We present a statistically robust approach based on probability weighted moments to assess the presence of simple scaling in geophysical processes. The proposed approach is different from current approaches which rely on estimation of high order moments. High order moments of simple scaling processes (distributions) may not have theoretically defined values and consequently, their empirical estimates are highly variable and do not converge with increasing sample size. They are, therefore, not an appropriate tool for inference. On the other hand we show that the probability weighted moments of such processes (distributions) do exist and, hence, their empirical estimates are more robust. These moments, therefore, provide an appropriate tool for inferring the presence of scaling. We illustrate this using simulated Levystable processes and then draw inference on the nature of scaling in fluctuations of a spatial rainfall process.

    Notes: Abstract A Monte Carlo approach is described for the quantification of uncertainty on travel time estimates. A real (non synthetic) and exhaustive data set of natural genesis is used for reference. Using an approach based on binary indicators, constraint interval data are easily accommodated in the modeling process. It is shown how the incorporation of imprecise data can reduce drastically the uncertainty in the estimates. It is also shown that unrealistic results are obtained when a deterministic modeling is carried out using a kriging estimate of the transmissivity field. Problems related with using sequential indicator simulation for the generation of fields incorporating constraint interval data are discussed. The final results consists of 95% probability intervals of arrival times at selected control planes reflecting the original uncertainty on the transmissivity maps.

    Notes: Abstract The use of data to condition single random fields has a well-established history. However, the joint use of data from several cross-correlated random fields is not as well developed. For example, the use of both transmissivity and head data in a steady state 2-d stochastic flow problem is essentially an inverse problem that is very important for both flow and transport predictions. This problem is addressed here by using a combination of numerical simulation and analytical methods and its application illustrated. The type of information conveyed by the different data categories is explored. The results presented are especially interesting in that head and transmissivity each give different information: Head values would appear to constrain the geometry of the paths while transmissivity data yields information about travel times. The linearized model is expanded to an iterative procedure and the “true” conditional distribution at several locations is compared with the iterative solution. The problem mentioned above is one with a special transfer function specified by the flow equation. In the second part of the paper a Fast Fourier Transform method for generation and conditioning of two or more random fields is introduced. This procedure is simple to implement, fast and very flexible.

    Notes: Abstract Assuming that the ln hydraulic conductivity in an aquifer is mathematically approximated by a spatial deterministic “surface”, or trend, plus a stationary random noise, we treat the problem of finding what the effective hydraulic conductivity of that aquifer is. This problem is tackled by spectral methods applied to a type of diffusion equation of groundwater flow, together with suitable coordinate transformations. Analytical (exact) solutions in terms of elementary functions are presented for one- and three-dimensional finite and infinite domains. Stability criteria are obtained for the solutions, in terms of a critical parameter, that turns out to involve the product of correlation scale and trend gradient. For the case of finite and symmetrical domains, additional provisions to insure the stability of numerical calculations of effective hydraulic conductivity are provided. Effective hydraulic conductivity is an important property, with potential applications in the calibrations of groundwater and transport numerical models.

    Notes: Abstract A mixed method combining the method of moments and the method of optimization (MMO) was developed for estimating the parameters of the log-Pearson type 3 (LP3) distribution. The MMO estimates the parameters of mean and standard deviation by the method of indirect moments (MIM) and estimates the coefficient of skewness by minimizing both the relative root average square error (RRASE) and the relative average bias (RAB). Both the predictive capability and descriptive capability of six popular estimation methods were evaluated using 90 sets of observed flood data and six selected LP3 populations with 1000 samples for each selected sample size. The performance of the MMO was compared with those of five other selected estimation methods. A weighted ranking index (WRI) procedure was developed to help select the best combination of distribution and method for the Louisiana flood data. The WRI takes both the predictive capability and the descriptive capability into account in the evaluation. The combination of LP3/MMO was found to be the best combination for Louisiana flood data.

    Notes: Abstract In this article, we are concerned with the statistics of steady unsaturated flow in soils with a fractal hydraulic conductivity distribution. It is assumed that the spatial distribution of log hydraulic conductivity can be described as an isotropic stochastic fractal process. The impact of the fractal dimension of this process, the soil pore-size distribution parameter, and the characteristic length scale on the variances of tension head and the effective conductivity is investigated. Results are obtained for one-dimensional and three-dimensional flows. Our results indicate that the tension head variance is scale-dependent for fractal distribution of hydraulic conductivity. Both tension head variance and effective hydraulic conductivity depend strongly on the fractal dimension. The soil pore-size distribution parameter is important in reducing the variability of the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and of the fluxes.

    Notes: Abstract A new methodology for predicting water quality values at discontinued water quality monitoring stations is proposed. The method is based upon the Principle of Maximum Entropy (POME) and provides unbiased predictions of water quality levels at upstream tributaries and on the mainstem of a river given observed changes in the distribution of the same water quality parameter at a downstream location. Changes in the values of water quality parameters which are known a priori to have occurred upstream, but which are not sufficiently large to account for all the observed change in the same water quality parameter at the downstream location are able to be incorporated in the method through the introduction of a new term in the basic entropy expression. Application of the procedure to water quality monitoring on the Mackenzie River in Queensland, Australia indicates the method has considerable potential for prediction of water quality at discontinued stations. The method also has potential for identifying the location of causes of observed changes in water quality at a downstream station.

    Notes: Abstract The sampling variance of a T-year flood when estimated using a curve-fitting method results from the errors in hydrologic observations, plotting positions, and model-fitting. This paper develops a method to quantify the contribution of plotting positions to the sampling variance of the T-year flood magnitude. Application of the method to 150 flood-flow data sets of 41 rivers in the People's Republic of China show that the errors due to plotting positions contribute more to the sampling variance than others.

    Notes: Abstract This paper discusses the derivation of a unit hydrograph by multiple storm analysis using least squares methods. Variations of least squares method was generalized using the framework of weighted ridge analysis. The paper also shows two theorems to support using multi-storm analysis to derive UH. In addition, an issue was addressed on the scaling effect in the conventional multi-storm analysis which could create potential bias toward large storms in deriving a multi-storm UH. For that, a simple scaling procedure was proposed to reduce such potential bias problem. Numerical investigations were conducted to examine the performance of the scaling procedure by comparing with the conventional multi-storm analysis (without scaling) and the HEC-1 weighing procedures. Based on various performance criteria using a total of 39 storms from three watersheds, the proposed scaling procedure was found to produce a quite desirable UH.

The method is then applied to derive the concentration mean and variance, the concentration CDF, exceedance probabilities and exposure time CDF, which are required by various regulatory agencies for risk and performance assessment calculations. The dependence of the various statistics on elapsed travel time, location in space, the dimension of the detection volume, natural variability and pore-scale dispersion is investigated and discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In earlier publications, certain applications of space transformation operators in subsurface hydrology were considered. These operators reduce the original multi-dimensional problem to the one-dimensional space, and can be used to study stochastic partial differential equations governing groundwater flow and solute transport processes. In the present work we discuss developments in the theoretical formulation of flow models with space-dependent coefficients in terms of space transformations. The formulation is based on stochastic Radon operator representations of generalized functions. A generalized spectral decomposition of the flow parameters is introduced, which leads to analytically tractable expressions of the space transformed flow equation. A Plancherel representation of the space transformation product of the head potential and the log-conductivity is also obtained. A test problem is first considered in detail and the solutions obtained by means of the proposed approach are compared with the exact solutions obtained by standard partial differential equation methods. Then, solutions of three-dimensional groundwater flow are derived starting from solutions of a one-dimensional model along various directions in space. A step-by-step numerical formulation of the approach to the flow problem is also discussed, which is useful for practical applications. Finally, the space transformation solutions are compared with local solutions obtained by means of series expansions of the log-conductivity gradient.

    Notes: Abstract Simple homogeneous formulations of two extreme value partial duration flood models are compared to more sophisticated compound formulations in terms of asymptotic performance of quantile estimates. The compound model formulations were developed to model flood series resulting from mixed climatological processes. It was found that only in the case of marked nonhomogeneity in the data samples did the compound formulation of the models offer significant advantages in terms of variance of quantile estimates. However, the estimates from the homogeneous model were significantly biased in the negative direction. This negative bias of quantile estimates from the simple model was even more pronounced when the more sophisticated Weibull model was used as the base.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper a very general rainfall-runoff model structure (described below) is shown to reduce to a unit hydrograph model structure. For the general model, a multi-linear unit hydrograph approach is used to develop subarea runoff, and is coupled to a multi-linear channel flow routing method to develop a link-node rainfall-runoff model network. The spatial and temporal rainfall distribution over the catchment is probabilistically related to a known rainfall data source located in the catchment in order to account for the stochastic nature of rainfall with respect to the rain gauge measured data. The resulting link node model structure is a series of stochastic integral equations, one equation for each subarea. A cumulative stochastic integral equation is developed as a sum of the above series, and includes the complete spatial and temporal variabilities of the rainfall over the catchment. The resulting stochastic integral equation is seen to be an extension of the well-known single area unit hydrograph method, except that the model output of a runoff hydrograph is a distribution of outcomes (or realizations) when applied to problems involving prediction of storm runoff; that is, the model output is a set of probable runoff hydrographs, each outcome being the results of calibration to a known storm event.

    Notes: Abstract A variety of studies reported in the literature have established that initially well mixed suspensions subjected to non-homogeneous shear flows attain an anisotropic particulate structure. It has also been shown that non-homogeneous shearing causes suspensions of unimodal spheres to demix, i.e., gradients in solids concentration are formed. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of non-homogeneous shear flows on suspensions of bimodal particles, and specifically, to determine if the solids concentration gradients which develop are accompanied by size segregation of the coarse with respect to the fine fraction. We used the simplest and most direct methods to determine the relative solids concentrations: visual observation of tracer particles in transparent suspensions and physical separation of the coarse and fine solid fractions. Three different types of non-homogeneous shear flows were examined, and in each case the data support two main conclusions: 1) suspended particles migrate from regions of high shear rate to regions of low shear rate, and 2) the coarse fraction of particles migrates much faster than the fine fraction, leading to size segregation of initially well-mixed suspensions. While the former conclusion is consistent with other studies reported in the literature, to our knowledge this paper provides the first data supporting and, to a limited extent, quantifying the latter conclusion.

Regular and polymer-modified asphalts are studied via fractional relaxation processes, represented here by a fractional rational form of the complex modulus, G *. Basic properties of this complex modulus and the forms of generated constitutive equations are studied. Relaxation times of the model are related via a pseudospectrum to the phase angle lag.

    Notes: Abstract Relaxation processes in complex systems like polymers or other viscoelastic materials can be described by equations containing fractional differential or integral operators. In order to give a physical motivation for fractional order equations, the fractional relaxation is discussed in the framework of statistical mechanics. We show that fractional relaxation represents a special type of a non-Markovian process. Assuming a separation condition and the validity of the thermo-rheological principle, stating that a change of the temperature only influences the time scale but not the rheological functional form, it is shown that a fractional operator equation for the underlying relaxation process results.

    Notes: Abstract The method of domain perturbation developed by Joseph is used to calculate velocity and stress profiles in a slightly misaligned cone-and-plate rheometer where the cone is spinning and the plate is stationary. Results for a Newtonian fluid, a Criminale-Ericksen-Filbey fluid, an upper-convected Maxwell fluid, and a White-Metzner fluid are presented and compared with earlier results in which the cone is stationary and the plate is spinning (Dudgeon and Wedgewood, 1993). Streamlines calculated for the Newtonian fluid show a very small recirculation region near the stationary plate. Velocity and stress contours are symmetric around the plane of largest gap width. For the elastic fluids studied, streamlines are asymmetric. The fluid response lags where the fluid is dominated by memory effects. Much larger recirculation regions are calculated for fluids dominated by shear thinning. These recirculation regions contain a large fraction of the fluid in the apparatus and have the effect of changing the shape of the flow domain for the remaining fluid that rotates around the cone's axis. Elasticity also has a pronounced effect on the stress profile, indicating that the accuracy of the cone and plate may be compromised even for small mis-alignments.

    Notes: Abstract The dynamical viscoelasticity of ABS melts with different particle size was investigated at various levels of rubbery phase contents. The effects of the rubber are more pronounced in the terminal zone: a transition from viscoelastic liquid to viscoelastic solid behavior was observed which can be interpreted as a physical gelation occurring at a critical rubbery phase content. This critical content resulted in being smaller in the case of smaller particles. A quantitative explanation of the experimental findings was proposed in terms of the average interparticle distance and overlapping of the chains grafted onto the neighboring rubber particles. The gel-like transition appeared to correspond to an approximately constant level of grafted chains overlapping.

    Notes: Abstract The behavior of a terminally anchored freely-jointed bead-rod chain, subjected to solvent shear flow, was investigated via Brownian dynamics simulations. Previous calculations have been improved by computing the segment density and fluid velocity profiles self-consistently. The segment density distributions, components of the radius of gyration, and chain attachment shear and normal stresses were found to be sensitive to low values of shear rate. Additionally, it was found that the thickness of a model polymer layer was a strong function of the shear rate, and that the functional dependence on shear rate changed dramatically as the chain length increased. For the longest chains studied, the thickness of the model polymer layer first increased as the shear rate increased, passed through a maximum, and then decreased at high shear rates, in accordance with experimental results in theta solvents. These results suggest that a dilute or semi-dilute layer model may explain hydrodynamic behavior previously thought to be due to the entanglements that occur in dense surface bound polymer layers.

    Notes: Abstract This paper reports on geometry dependent viscosity curves of the biaxial thermotropic LC-Polymer Vectra B 950 measured with rectangular slit dies. The geometry dependence of the flow behaviour originates from the flow of two layers. The layer near the wall is highly flow oriented and free from defects. The layer in the bulk has an ordered texture. The thickness of the wall layer decreases with wall shear stress. Based on the Frank theory and the assumption that the core of a moving disclination is the smallest radius of distortion, the wall layer thickness is predicted and compared with experimental data.

    Notes: Abstract Zero shear viscosities, η0, were determined by means of a magnetoviscometer for melts of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (M = 8.7 to 450 kg/mol, T =53.5 to 200°C) and for concentrated solutions of the highest molecular weight sample in isopropanol (T = 34.8 to 131.5 °C). Master curves can be constructed in both cases if the reference temperature is set proportional to the gelation temperature of the particular fluid. Special intersegmental interactions (eventually leading to thermoreversible gelation) can above all be felt in η0 (T) and in M c , the critical molecular weight determined in plots of log η0 vs. log M. As the temperature is lowered, the behavior changes from WLF to Arrhenius, and M c declines considerably. The former observation is explained by analogy to the transition from fragile to hard glasses resulting from increased crosslinking. The latter effect can also be rationalized in terms of a physical network reducing the molecular weight that is required for the formation of entanglements.

    Notes: Abstract Flows of natural mud-water mixtures are of great interest for industrial and civil engineering. But there is still no general agreement about the methods for determining the main rheological characteristics of these systems. We propose here an accurate rheological study of some natural mud-water mixtures. We first discuss the possible effects of changing various parameters such as temperature, pH, electrolyte concentration, solid concentration, clay type. The behavior of these muds appears to be very sensitive to most of these parameters and to be hardly predictable from a knowledge of their components. Then, we show that a Herschel-Bulkley model fits very well steady flow experimental data for a very large range of shear rates. We also suggest physical explanations of this model in agreement with our observations of behavior changes when some parameters change. The yield stress value of this model provides a good estimation of real yield stress which is a key parameter for mixture behavior. These considerations are very useful to characterize, predict, and compare various mud flows.

    Notes: Conclusions 1. Construction and operation of the Sayano-Shushenskoe hydrostation did not introduce noticeable deviations in the land and aquatic ecosystems of the region with respect to the most important indices — climate and water quality. 2. It is necessary to continue monitoring the aquatic and land ecosystems for 10–15 years to accumulate a data bank on the effect of the hydropower complex on the environment.
