The judgmental policy of a group of national bank examiners in classifying commercial bank loans was identified using stepwise multiple discriminant analyses and was expressed in the form of a linear model. Credit scenarios (which were composed of both financial and non-financial cues) were presented to 24 national bank examiners at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in Washington D.C. Each examiner received 20 scenarios and was asked to classify the scenarios in one of the five classifications used by the OCC. Based upon 75% of these observations, a linear discriminant model was developed using stepwise MDA analyses. The remaining observations were used to validate the model developed. Non-financial variables appeared to be important discriminators; the financial variable of industry comparison of the interest coverage ratio using cash flow was an excellent discriminatory variable; and industry comparisons and trends of financial variables appeared to be more important than the variables themselves. The model developed contained two of these variables: (a) an industry comparison of the interest coverage ratio using cash flow and (b) the trend of the debt/equity ratio. © 1980.

Three units of stratified rocks are recognized: the pre-Devonian Watonga formation, composed mainly of chert and slate; the Middle Palaeozoic Touchwood formation, consisting of volcanogenic clastic sediments and andesite; and the (?)Early Permian Thrumster slate, comprising slate and metasandstone. These units have been intruded by Karikeree metadolerite dykes, serpentinite bodies and felsic dykes, and are unconformably overlain by Early Triassic conglomerate of the Camden Haven group. The Watonga formation, Thrumster slate and early members of the Karikeree metadolerite were cleaved and recrystallized under greenschist-facies conditions at an early stage during Late Permian orogenesis. Later dolerite intrusions in the cleaved rocks are massive but also show greenschist-facies assemblages. Touchwood formation rocks and associated Karikeree metadolerite dykes lack cleavage and exhibit only burial metamorphism of prehnite-pumpellyite metagreywacke facies. They were brought into contact with the more strongly deformed rocks by transcurrent movements along a system of NNW-trending faults. Subsequently, serpentinite masses rose along some of these fractures and along a younger NW-striking fault. A small thermal high, in which static recrystallization produced biotite, postdates most deformation and may be associated with a buried intrusive body. Here the serpentinite contains antigorite, in contrast with the chrysotile-lizardite serpentinites elsewhere in the block, and is associated with lenses of talc and chlorite-tremolite rocks. Fault movements continued into post-Early Triassic times.-N.C.N.S.

This zone of Palaeozoic rocks, extending some 225 km NNW from near Nundle to Warialda in NE New South Wales, includes numerous mafic-ultramafic complexes embedded in a deformed arc system. Those complexes studied in detail show features arising from both igneous processes and tectonic aggregation, the latter bringing together rocks from a variety of geological settings.-R.A.H.

Slabs of radiolarian chert up to 400 m long, and smaller blocks of limestone, andesite, basalt and siltstone are imbedded within conglomerates and sandstones of the Wisemans Arm Formation in northeastern New South Wales. Abrupt termination of individual masses, their distribution and orientation, the lack of continuity of stratification from the masses into surrounding rocks, and the presence of boulders, pebbles and sand-sized grains of identical rock types as constituents of the surrounding matrix, indicate that the masses are allochthonous, but of sedimentary origin. The matrix rocks are ill-sorted, devoid of internal sedimentary structures, and were deposited from debris flows. The olistoliths were transported within these flows. Chert olistoliths were lithified at the time of their emplacement. They were detached along bedding surfaces during periods of heightened tectonic activity that also triggered the generation of debris flows. The Wisemans Arm Formation is separated by a major fault system from a magmatic arc-fore arc basin sequence, and is more intimately related to, although also in fault contact with, rocks inferred to be deformed oceanic crust. Components of the formation were derived from both these sources at the start of or during subduction, and accumulated in the immediate vicinity of a major consuming plate boundary. © 1980.

A program package is presented for routine analysis, on a low cost minicomputer, of data obtained by flow microfluorimetry. The programs, with the aid of a graphics capability, provide calculations of various properties of cell populations: percentage of cells in various phases of the cell-cycle (G,, S, G2 + M): mean fluorescence per cell: mean narrow-angle scatter per cell, and an approximation to relative mean volume per cell from narrow-angle light scatter measurements. The system is designed to allow either direct analysis or for storage of raw data on tape files for analysis at a later time. Provision is also made for hard copy on a digital x-y plotter.

Several preparative techniques (detergent treatment, ethanol fixation, and hypotonic cell lysis), DNA fluorochromes, and methods of numerical analysis (planimetric or curve-fitting) were compared for the estimation of cell-cycle kinetic parameters (G1, S, G2 + M) by flow cytometry. In addition, coefficients of variation (CV), relative fluorescence, and G1/chicken erythrocyte (CRBC) ratios were measured and the effects of the proportion of cycling cells and cellular RNA content were examined. DNA-fluorochromes were ranked by relative fluorescence: 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole > ethidium bromide/mithramycin > Hoechst 33342 > mithramycin > ethidium bromide > acridine orange ≃ propidium iodide. The first four (DNA-specific stains) gave lower CVs than the remainder (DNA intercalators). Detergent treatment also increased relative fluorescence and slightly lowered CVs. Comparable results were obtained for the kinetic parameters independently of stain or staining procedure; intercalating dyes with cells of a high RNA content not treated with RNAse and acridine orange being exceptions. Of the two methods of numerical analysis, the planimetric technique was more consistent. Although highly consistant G1/CRBC ratios were obtained for any one stain, independently of staining procedures, variations between stains were noted. It is suggested that the detergent treatment in combination with DNA-specific stains provide optimal results.

The aim of the present work was to determine whether the accumulation of Ig mRNA in myeloma cells is due to a high rate of production or to a high stability of these molecules. Specific mRNAs for the light and heavy polypeptide chains of IgG were isolated from the murine MPC-11 myeloma tumor cells by immune precipitation of polysomes which synthesize these chains. It was found that the immune-precipitated polysomes were enriched 10--30-fold in the gamma and chi mRNA sequences respectively. In the wheat germ cell-free system the chi mRNA preparation was translated mainly into three polypeptides of Mr 25 000, 18 000, and 15 000. The method of immune precipitation of polysomes was also used to characterize three variant clones of MPC-11 myeloma. It was found that little if any gamma-chain polysomes are present in the L-chain producer and non-producer clones, while a substantial amount of chi-chain polysomes was present in the non-producer clone. This may be due to the presence in the non-producer cells of the constant region chi-chain fragment. In order to determine the relative synthesis rate of chi and gamma mRNAs, pulse-labelled polysomes were immune precipitated using antibodies to chi and gamma chains. It was found that chi and gamma mRNA molecules are produced at a very high relative rate each accounting for 10--15% of the total labeled mRNA after 1 h of labeling. These values are higher than the steady-state pool size of chi and gamma mRNA, which was 5--6%, and indicates that the half-life of these molecules is not unusually high. It is concluded that the amplified synthesis of immunoglobulin chains in myeloma cells is mainly due to a high rate of production of translatable chi and gamma mRNAs
