    Notes: Abstract A new method for easily and rapidly generating three-dimensional shapes from two-dimensional line-drawings is presented. This method is based on the generalized symmetry constraint. Generalized symmetry is an extended concept of threedimensional symmetry and its axis is a 3D smooth curve. This paper first develops the definition and constraint of generalized symmetry, and then describes an algorithm which generates the three-dimensional shape of an object from its linedrawing. The generation algorithm is extended to generate generalized cylindrical objects from line-drawings. Several experiments by computer simulation verify that the algorithm can generate three-dimensional shapes from line-drawings.

    Notes: Abstract A mathematical model was developed to predict the release of sulfate from elemental S (S0) and gypsum in single superphosphate. The release algorithm is based on the observation that release is linearly related to particle surface area. Release rates under various conditions could then be described by the change in radius for each time increment, which allows easier comparison of release rates between different particle sizes. A model based on spherical particles was found to be adequate in accounting for the range of particle shapes found in crushed agricultural S0. Release rates calculated from experimental data range from 0.07 to 0.45µm/d depending on environmental conditions. Equations for incorporating the effects of environmental variables and the release of S from S0 and from the gypsum component of single superphosphate (SSP) were developed from the literature, and were incorporated within a larger model of S cycling. The model predicted that after 72 days, 99% of the S in SSP would have been released, compared to a release after one year of 54% of the S in sulfur-fortified superphosphate, and 23% of that in crushed agricultural grade S0. The model provides a means of assessing the effect of the particle size of S0 on release rates and should allow the formulation of fertilizers that supply S at a rate closer to the rate of plant uptake.

    Notes: Abstract Based on the electromagnetic vector potential representation, a two-dimensional, axisymmetric model is proposed for the calculation of the electromageetic fields in an inductively coupled, radiofrequency (r.f.) plasma. A comparative analysis made between the flow, temperature, and electromagnetic fields obtained using this model and those given by our earlier one-dimensional electromagnetic fields model show relatively little difference between the temperature fields predicted by the two models. Significant differences are observed, however, between the corresponding flow and electromagnetic fields. The new model offers an effective means of accounting for variations in the coil geometry on the flow and temperature fields in the discharge and for achieving a better representation of the electromagnetic fields under higher frequency conditions (f〉10 MHz).

    Notes: Summary NMR studies of the rotation barrier of the disaccharide of the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin have been used to test the performance of computer simulation techniques using molecular mechanics. In the absence of any solvated water, no correlation could be found between experiment and calculation. By introducing solvent water molecules into the binding region of the antibiotic, the NMR results could be simulated both qualitatively and quantitatively within experimental error without using massive computational resources.

    Notes: Summary The concept of the cell wall organized in a helicoidal pattern was outlined. When studied in transmission electron microscopy, the observed textures appear as a deceptive figure,i.e., as a “trompe l'oeil”. Difficulties—both technological and visual in the reconstitution of the actual geometry (exposure of the microfibrillar framework, 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional restoration), and the interest of simple modelling to understand the changes in cellulose orientation according to space and time are emphasized. The morphogenesis of helicoidal walls presents two main characteristics: it is both very defined and flexible, thus adaptable to varied programs of differentiation and to different environmental conditions. The observations of various cell examples and of responses to experimental treatments, lead to the following considerations: a) the shift of cellulose occurs continuously with time through a constant mutual angle. The wall seems to be built up as an indefinite continuum and forms a monotonous oscillatory system (unvarying motion); b) the shift of cellulose occurs through a mutual angle variable with time (varying motion, change from monotonous helicoid to bimodal helicoid, or sporadic bursts with arrested motion). The helicoidal wall appears as a fibrous composite with multifunctional possibilities ranging from fluidity to stiffness. The helicoidal assembly is remarkably adaptable to different physiological conditions of growth and specialization.

    Notes: Abstract One of the few important empirical generalizations regarding herbaceous plant systems has been the demonstration that species richness is related to standing crop with maximum richness occurring at moderate levels of standing crop. This relationship is normally demonstrated by comparing among vegetation types (i.e., vegetation with different dominants). We undertook this study to test whether the species richness-standing crop relationship was evident at a finer-grained level of organization, the within vegetation type level. Fifteen wetland sites were sampled in eastern Canada and species richness and standing crop determined in each of 224 0.25 m2 quadrats. Each site was relatively homogeneous in terms of the dominant species present and were therefore categorized as single vegetation types. However, as a group, the sites comprised a wide range of vegetation types. A second order polynomial regression indicated a significant bitonic relationship between species richness and standing crop at the among-vegetation types scale, that is, when all 15 sites were combined. At the within-vegetation type level, however, no significant relationships were observed (p〉0.05). The results indicate that the model of species richness proposed by Grime has predictive power at a coarse-grained level of organization, among vegetation types, but does not survive the transition to a finer-grained level of organization, the within vegetation type level. Therefore, the higher level processes which structure species richness patterns among vegetation types are not the same processes which determine richness patterns within a vegetation type.

    Notes: Abstract An area of artificial intelligence known as experts systems (or knowledge-based systems) is being applied in many areas of science, technology and commerce. It is likely that the techniques will have an impact on vegetation science and ecology in general. This paper discusses some of those impacts and concludes that the main effects will be in areas of applied ecology especially where ecological expertise is needed either quickly (e.g. disaster management) or across a wide range of ecological disciplines (e.g. land management decisions). Expert systems will provide ecologists with valuable tools for managing data and interacting with other fields of expertise. The impact of expert systems on ecological theory will depend on the degree to which ‘deep knowledge’ (i.e. knowledge based on first principles rather than on more empirical rules) is used in formulating knowledge bases.

    Notes: Synopsis A model is constructed to simulate fluctuations in monthly population sizes of the Devils Hole pupfish between January 1973 and August 1976. A variety of biological parameters is estimated, and adult mortality is partitioned into natural and environmentally-dependent components. The simulations capture the seasonal fluctuations in population size, and only seven predicted population sizes differ from those observed by 20% or more. The model is used to make testable predictions about the life history of this species and interactions of the parameters are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract At a boulder on a hill near Casey Station, Wilkes Land, sensors for light, temperature and humidity were installed facing the four cardinal directions. The measurements lasted for about two months of the summer season 1985/86. The data recording was carried out at intervals of 6 minutes for all probes by automatic recording instruments. Data analysis was carried out with special regard to the biological effects of the parameters analyzed. These data of the microclimatic features taken from its original place of growth were used to a regression model of potential photosynthetic activity ofUsnea sphacelata, which is a characteristic species of this area. Although the individual time courses of the above mentioned parameters show long periods of favourable conditions for possible growth and metabolic processes, the combined analysis of these variables considering threshold values for metabolism shortens these time spans drastically. Thus, cross relationships within the physical descriptors and their effects on the actual values of photosynthesis as well as respiration become evident. They are illustrated by the results of models on photosynthesis and respiration ofU. sphacelata regarding the different cardinal directions.
