A contribution to the knowledge of the skin albuminose cells of Torpedo ocellata Raf [Riv.Istochim.norm.pat. 8 411-416, 1962]
Glandular cells, other than the mucous cells, have been described in the skin of various groups of fish (Teleosts, Ganoids, Selachii) and they have been called 'albuminose' by various authors. The authors propose to study the albuminose cells in the skin of Torpedo ocellata Raf. from a histochemical point of view. The albuminose cells have a complex morphological structure and a correspondingly complicated histochemical make-up. One must treat them as an example of cell with secretions of a particular type, which must and will be better incorporated when more is known of characteristics existent in other species
Propagation of mesons in asymmetric nuclear matter in a density dependent coupling model
We study the propagation of the light mesons sigma, omega, rho, and a0(980)
in dense hadronic matter in an extended derivative scalar coupling model.
Within the scheme proposed it is possible to unambiguously define effective
density-dependent couplings at the Lagrangian level. We first apply the model
to study asymmetric nuclear matter with fixed isospin asymmetry, and then we
pay particular attention to hypermatter in beta-equilibrium. The equation of
state and the potential contribution to the symmetry coefficient arising from
the mean field approximation are investigated.Comment: 17 pages, 15 PostScript figure
Polypyrrole-poly(epichlorohydrin-co-ethylene Oxide) Blend: An Electroactive, Electrochromic And Elastomeric Material
We report on the preparation of an elastomeric blend with electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties similar to those of pure polypyrrole. The title elastomer used is an ionic conductor. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry experiments show the electroactivity of the blend. A transmittance contrast of 50% at 700 nm between the reduced and the oxidized forms of the blend is evidence of the pronounced electrochromism of the blend. Differential scanning calorimetry suggests an association of the guest conductive polymer with the ethylene oxide blocks of the rubber copolymer host. Stress-strain measurements show that the conductive polymer guest increases the rigidity and toughness of the elastomer host.4121799180
