The hydrodynamic effects of shape and size change during reconfiguration of a flexible macroalga
Authors: Boller Michael L. , Carrington Emily 
Published: May 2006

SUMMARYRocky intertidal organisms experience large hydrodynamic forces due to high water velocities created by breaking waves. Flexible organisms, like macroalgae, often experience lower drag than rigid organisms because their shape and size change as velocity increases. This phenomenon, known as reconfiguration, has been previously quantified as Vogel's E, a measure of the relationship between velocity and drag. While this method is very useful for comparing reconfiguration among organisms it does not address the mechanisms of reconfiguration, and its application to predicting drag is problematic. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to examine the mechanisms of reconfiguration by quantifying the change in shape and size of a macroalga in flow and (2) to build a mechanistic model of drag for reconfiguring organisms. Drag, frontal area and shape of the intertidal alga Chondrus crispus were measured simultaneously in a recirculating flume at water velocities from 0 to ∼2 m s–1. Reconfiguration was due to two separate mechanisms: whole-alga realignment(deflection of the stipe) at low velocities (&lt;0.2 m s–1)and compaction of the crown (reduction in frontal area and change in shape) at higher velocities. Change in frontal area contributed more to drag reduction than change in drag coefficient. Drag coefficient and frontal area both decrease exponentially with increasing water velocity, and a mechanistic model of drag was developed with explicit functions to describe these changes. The model not only provides mechanistic parameters with which to compare reconfiguration among individuals and species, but also allows for more reliable predictions of drag at high, ecologically relevant water velocities.

Published: May 2006

SUMMARYThe functional significance of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in the generation of high heart rates and blood pressures was investigated in four species of reptile; the turtle, Trachemys scripta; the python, Python regius, the tegu lizard, Tupinanvis merianae, and the varanid lizard, Varanus exanthematicus. Force-frequency trials and imposed pauses were performed on ventricular and atrial tissue from each species with and without the SR inhibitor ryanodine, and in the absence and presence of adrenaline. In all species, an imposed pause of 1 or 5 min caused a post-rest decay of force, and a negative force-frequency response was observed in all species within their in vivo frequency range of heart rates. These relationships were not affected by either ryanodine or adrenaline. In ventricular strips from varanid lizards and pythons, ryanodine caused significant reductions in twitch force within their physiologically relevant frequency range. In atrial tissue from the tegu and varanid lizards,SR inhibition reduced twitch force across the whole of their physiological frequency range. In contrast, in the more sedentary species, the turtle and the python, SR inhibition only decreased twitch force at stimulation frequencies above maximal in vivo heart rates. Adrenaline caused an increase in twitch force in all species studied. In ventricular tissue, this positive inotropic effect was sufficient to overcome the negative effects of ryanodine. In atrial tissue however, adrenaline could only ameliorate the negative effects of ryanodine at the lower pacing frequencies. Our results indicate that reptiles recruit Ca2+ from the SR for force development in a frequency and tissue dependent manner. This is discussed in the context of the development of high reptilian heart rates and blood pressures.
Seasonal variation in mussel byssal thread mechanics
Authors: Moeser Gretchen M. , Carrington Emily 
Published: May 2006

SUMMARYThe blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, attaches itself to the substrate by producing a radially arranged complex of collagenous byssal threads. The strength of byssal attachment, or tenacity, has been shown to vary seasonally on Rhode Island shores, increasing twofold in spring in comparison with fall. It was previously assumed that this seasonality was due to increased thread production following periods of increased wave action; however, recent findings do not support this view. As an alternate hypothesis, this study evaluates the contribution of seasonal changes in the material properties of byssal threads to an annual cycle in mussel attachment strength. Tensile mechanical tests were performed seasonally, on both newly produced threads and on threads outplanted in the field for up to nine weeks. Threads produced in spring were over 60% stronger and 83% more extensible than threads produced in all other seasons. The mechanical integrity of byssal threads also deteriorated over time in spring and summer. These results suggest that reduced attachment strength in fall reflects the production of inferior quality threads following a period of increased decay. Here, we propose a new scheme where variation in byssal thread material properties, rather than quantity, explains the seasonal pattern in attachment strength observed on Rhode Island shores.
The Operating Temperature Lowering for CO2 Gas Sensor with a Lithium Conducting Solid Electrolyte
Authors: Imanaka Nobuhito , Murata Toshihide , Kawasato Takeshi , Adachi Gin-ya 
Published: May 2006

Abstract
The lowering of the operating temperature for the CO2 gas sensor with the lithium conducting solid electrolyte was examined by applying a ductile solid of a Li2CO3 + Li2O mixture or a Li2CO3-K2CO3-Na2CO3 eutectic. In the case of the eutectic solid, the CO2 sensor can detect the gas content precisely from 100 ppm to 1% at as low a temperature as 350 °C. The ductilities of the solid greatly enhanced the reactivity between Li2CO3 in the eutectic and the CO2 gas in the atmosphere.

Abstract
Carbohydrates have been recognized and utilized for a long time as the starting materials for target-oriented syntheses toward optically active compounds. C-Glycosides are often employed for this purpose because they have much potential for the introduction of new stereogenic centers to the side chain. We describe herein various methods for the introduction of carbon chains to the sugar rings under acidic conditions, particularly in the form of alkynyl, allenyl, or prop-2-ynyl group at the anomeric position with high stereoselectivity.
