    Notes: Abstract The insoluble microparticle concentrations and size distributions and oxygen isotope abundances (δ18 0) in two 1-meter ice cores from the margin of the Dunde ice cap (38° 06 'N; 96° 24 'E; 5325 masl) drilled in 1986 and three ice cores drilled to bedrock at the summit of the ice cap in 1987 suggest the presence of Wisconsin/Würm Glacial Stage (LWGS) ice in the subtropics. A Sino-American research group recovered three ice cores 136, 138 and 139 m in length from the summit of the Dunde ice cap in the Qilian Shan which are providing long, high temporal resolution climatic and environmental records for the NE section of the Tibetan Highlands. Particulate concentrations, conductivity and δ18 0 are the ice core constituents best established as indicators of the glacial/interglacial transition. The analyses of two shallow cores from the margin reveal a 14-fold increase in particulate concentration which is correlative with a 1% to 5% decrease (more negative) in δ18 0. The lower 10 to 13 m of three ice cores drilled to bedrock at the summit contain a ten-fold increase in dust (both soluble and insoluble) and a 1.2% decrease in oxygen isotopes. Additionally, the morphological properties of the particles in the LWGS ice are identical to those of the thick, extensive loess deposits of central china which accumulated during the cold, dry glacial stages of the Pleistocene. When the climatic and environmental records are fully extracted from the three deep cores they will provide a very detailed record of variations in particulates (soluble and insoluble), stable isotopes, net balance, pollen and perhaps atmospheric gases of CO2 and methane through the Holocene into the last glacial in the subtropics on the climatically important Tibetan Plateau.

    Notes: Abstract Column chromatography of the pentane extract of freeze-dried cotton buds or anthers yielded a wax-sterol ester fraction that exhibited potent feeding stimulant activity for the cotton boll weevil. The waxes of the wax-sterol ester mixture were responsible for the feeding activity. Saponification of the wax-sterol ester fraction yielded about 15% alcohols and 85% sterols. A C18∶1 alcohol, dihydrophytol, phytol, and geranylgeraniol constituted 15, 36, 26, and 23%, respectively, of the total alcohols, implicating certain of their long-chain esters as feeding stimulants. Several esters of dihydrophytol, phytol, and geranylgeraniol were identified among the waxes by GC-MS. Certain phytol, geranylgeraniol, and oleyl alcohol esters containing C12 to C26 acid moieties were synthesized and were found to induce high feeding stimulant activity in the cotton boll weevil.

    Notes: Abstract A model based upon minimization of surface energy is proposed as an explanation for compaction and internalization of cells during mammalian embryo development. The model is used to simulate and graphically display these phenomena on a computer.

    Notes: Abstract A model based upon minimization of surface energy as an explanation for the phenomena of compaction and internalization of cells during mammalian embryo development is generalized for three-dimensional cells. It is shown that, for a spherical embryo, if cells are assumed to be polygonal cones in shape, the simulation of these phenomena for three-dimensional cells is equivalent to simulations of deformations of two-dimensional cells on the surface of a sphere. This equivalence is used to show that in the optimal compacted structure, with no internal cells, the cross-sections of cells in general are not regular polyhedra. Further, the internalization occurs when the number of cells exceeds a critical value which seems to depend on the relative sizes and biophysical properties of cells.

    Notes: Abstract An understanding of the comparative statics of biological communities is important both as a means of explaining the long-term effects of changes in environmental conditions, and as a framework for viewing community time trajectories. A general formulation of community dynamics is presented here which, given full information about a particular community's dynamic behavior, describes the impact of a change in environmental conditions on the community steady state. However, since such full information is often lacking in studies of biological communities, various approaches to partial information analysis of comparative statics are presented and compared, including a generalized protocol for isocline analysis. The suggested isocline protocol is shown to be a useful tool for both full and partial information analyses, as well as for both general and partial equilibrium studies.

    Notes: Abstract We propose certain general conditions that we believe are reasonable for any pattern recognition algorithm. We find that these conditions give rise to paradoxical identification. The algorithms are incapable of distinguishing composite patterns and must be able to distinguish patterns at an atomistic level.

    Notes: Abstract Fundamentals of the theory of stochastic calculus and stochastic differential equations (SDE's) which are finding increasing application in water resources engineering are reviewed. The basics of probability theory, mean square calculus and the Wiener, white Gaussian and compound Poisson processes are given in preparation for a discussion of the general Itô SDE with drift, diffusion and jump discontinuity terms driven by Gaussian white noise and compound Poissionian impulses. Also discussed are stochastic integration and the derivation of moment equations via the Itô differential rule. The lierature of SDE's is reviewed with an emphasis on the more accessible sources.
