    Description / Table of Contents: The Germination of Seeds, Third Edition contains the same content in the previous edition, but with modifications in each section, containing updated information. As the first two editions, this edition attempts to treat critically the available information on seed germination and to assimilate this information. This text first discusses the structure and chemical composition of seeds. This book then explains germination and related concepts, such as factors affecting this process, inhibition and stimulation, and seed metabolism. This selection concludes by explaining the ecology of germination. This publication will be invaluable to those in the field of agriculture, as well as students and layperson interested in seed germination.

    Notes: Abstract We have measured the depolarization ratio and the excitation profiles of the Raman lines at 1,355 cm−1, 1,564 cm−1 and at 1,373 cm−1, 1,580 cm−1 in solutions of deoxy Mb and ferric MbCN, respectively, in the region between the Soret and the α, Β-bands. From their dispersion we have determined the tensor components of the Raman tensor by an extension of Loudon's theory, taking into account static distortions from the ideal D 4h -symmetry of the haem group, induced by haem-protein interactions and the interaction of the side-chains with the porphyrin skeleton (Schweitzer et al. 1984). Analogous to the excitation profiles in solution, measurements on Mb single crystals yield intensities I a, b which are related to the tensor components viewed in the laboratory system, spanned by the three orthogonal crystals axes a, b, c *. By using the structural data of the crystals and coordinate transformation from the system of the molecular coordinates into the laboratory system, the quantities I a, b can be calculated by use of the tensor components determined from the solution data. The values thus calculated and those which are determined experimentally from the single crystals are in good agreement. This confirms the theoretical approach of Schweitzer et al. (l984).

    Notes: Summary Sources of error are investigated for a two-dimensional finite difference computer program designed to model strata deformation. The program calculates the displacements of a mesh of ‘mass points’, by the iterative solution of equations of equilibrium for the stresses acting on each mass point. The effect of errors on both displacement estimates and stress estimates is considered. Round-off errors are discussed analytically, while the effect of choosing too coarse a mesh density is demonstrated by comparison of two runs of the program with identical material properties, but different mesh densities. The influence of boundary conditions and the result of incomplete relaxation of the finite difference equations is estimated by comparison with Kirsch's analytical solution for a thin plate of finite width with a circular hole under unidimensional load. As a result of the analysis, estimators for stresses and displacements are derived, which make allowance for some of the sources of error; suitable boundary conditions for first and subsequent runs of the program are proposed; and a convergence criterion for the iterative process is suggested. These results are then applied to simulations of mining situations, together with various refinements of the basic model, such as separation and ‘slip’ between adjacent strata, and an allowance for failure of material.

    Notes: Summary A two-dimensional finite difference computer program, with the facility to represent stratified material by means of a mesh of ‘mass points’ with different material properties in each square of the mesh, is adapted to run on a mesh whose material properties are selected stochastically from a specified distribution. The program uses an iterative method to solve the equations of equilibrium, giving estimates of displacements and stresses. Lattices of normally distributed (zero mean, unit variance) random values are produced: lattices of statistically independent values and lattices whose values are spatially correlated, to give the effect of gradual variations resulting in regions of positive values and regions of negative values. These lattices are used to generate the material properties: Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and density. Each property has a specified mean and standard deviation for each material in the model, and the precise values for each mass point are calculated from the relevant lattices. A simple model with a square opening is used to investigate the effect of this stochastic generation of material properties, by comparison of stresses and displacements near the opening for runs of the program with (1) deterministic and (2) stochastic properties. Similar lattices of random values are used to introduce a stochastic element in the criterion for failure of materials. This is applied to a more realistic simulation of a mining situation, where Mohr's Criterion is used, with a stochastic component, to determine whether failure has occurred at each point of the mesh.

    Notes: Abstract The hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) of influenza viruses, as well as the fusion protein (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) of paramyxoviruses, have been separated in native form using a two-step procedure. The glycoproteins are efficiently extracted from virions using the non-ionic detergent octyl-Β-D-glucoside and are then applied to a column of agarose beads coupled with tyrosine-sulfanilic acid. PureHA andF are obtained in good yield in the flow-through from this column.NA andHN bind strongly and can be eluted, albeit somewhat contaminated withHA orF, by raising the pH of the column buffer. The separated non-denaturated fractions can be used for structural, functional, and antigenic studies.

    Notes: Summary In the succulent tissue ofOpuntia ficusindica development of calcium oxalate crystals was followed from the shoot apex to its base, using stereological analysis. The stereological parameters relating to the crystal cells were compared with those of mucilage cells, of the same tissue. A fairly monotonic relation between the stereological parameters of the two populations was noted. The possible physiological relation between the two cell populations is discussed.
