View description>>

The secondary power supplies used in radio-electronic equipment, which operate from the ac power lines without an input transformer, usually have a relatively high dc input voltage and a low output voltage. This property of network secondary power supplies (in which a voltage converter is the principal stage) causes a deterioration of the switching processes and reduces the operating reliability of power switches. A voltage converter with a magnetic energy integrator in the primary circuit should be operated in the self-oscillatory mode by introducing positive feedback through the transformer. Then the stability of oscillations is guaranteed by the significant amount of energy stored in the magnetic integrator used for switching. The voltage converter is proposed which is capable of operating when the load changes from open circuit to short circuit and can therefore be used as a module when constructing modular power supply systems with an unlimited output power.

The hypotheses that grazing losses and/or ambient inorganic nitrogen concentrations control the standing crop of the epilithic algal community were tested in two habitats at One Tree Reef (Great Barrier Reef, Australia). Short (12-15 days) and long (167-306 days) multifactorial experiments using grazer exclusion and nitrogen fertilization treatments were used to partition variance in algal community biomass on portable segments of natural reef substratum during 1980. On outer reef slopes, inorganic nitrogen limited algal community growth, but the standing crop was determined by grazing losses. In the subtidal lagoon inorganic nitrogen and grazing alternated seasonally in controlling standing crop. The recolonization of cleared natural substratum was followed at two additional sites. The algal standing crop in subtidal habitats reached control levels within 4 months, while that in an intertidal reef habitat took up to 14 months. The standing crop of benthic algae on natural reef substrata was monitored in all habitats over 2 yr. In shallow and intertidal habitats, the standing crop was three to five times higher than in deeper areas, and showed a spatial and seasonal variation apparently controlled by factors other than grazing intensity, despite high levels of yield to grazers. Seasonal variation was much less in subtidal habitats. It is concluded that only within limited temporal and spatial scales is grazing intensity alone an adequate predictor of benthic algal standing crop. © 1983.

The purpose of this research is to show the usefulness of three relatively simple nonlinear classification techniques for policy‐capturing research where linear models have typically been used. This study uses 480 cases to assess the decision‐making process used by 24 experienced national bank examiners in classifying commercial loans as acceptable or questionable. The results from multiple discriminant analysis (a linear technique) are compared to those of chi‐squared automatic interaction detector analysis (a search technique), log‐linear analysis, and logit analysis. Results show that while the four techniques are equally accurate in predicting loan classification, chi‐squared automatic interaction detector analysis (CHAID) and log‐linear analysis enable the researcher to analyze the decision‐making structure and examine the “human” variable within the decision‐making process. Consequently, if the sole purpose of research is to predict the decision maker's decisions, then any one of the four techniques turns out to be equally useful. If, however, the purpose is to analyze the decision‐making process as well as to predict decisions, then CHAID or log‐linear techniques are more useful than linear model techniques.

Temporal changes in the colonization of settlement plates by algae were determined for an Ecklonia radiata (C. Ag.) J. Ac community. Relative covers of individual algal types were recorded on plates that were exposed for short periods (2 weeks) and then taken to the laboratory. Sets of plates were examined each month from April 1981 to March 1982. Marked seasonal changes were detected in the total cover of algae, the relative covers of individual algal types and the diversity of the colonizing community (as measured by the Shannon-Weaver diversity index and the number of algal types). Advantages and disadvantages of this method and other methods to determine the structure of the colonizing community are discussed. It is concluded that, in addition to examining subsequent biological processes, future studies on the dynamics of kelp communities should also estimate temporal variation in the settlement of algae. © 1983.

The importance of algae, both as a contribution to the understanding of living things and in practical terms, hardly needs stressing today. Despite the previous emphasis on photosynthesis research in land plants there is now a large corpus of work on algae. This chapter intends to bring much of the dispersed literature together, so as to achieve an integrated framework from which conclusions can be drawn to further stimulate research. Organisms from the borderline of groups loosely called prokaryotes, plants, and animals have been discussed along with how the majority of algae are influenced by the light climate properties. The structure and function of the photosynthetic membrane have been described. Various kinds and levels of light harvesting available to algae are reviewed briefly. A more detailed analysis of some biochemical and biophysical aspects of light harvesting are also given. Light is essential to all photosynthetic autotrophs. But it is only to the extent that light is limiting to growth that light-harvesting strategies become important. It is therefore necessary to consider under what conditions light does become limiting for algal growth. Strategies of light harvesting are discussed in terms of general ecological, taxonomic, morphological, and cytological aspects. The chapter looks into photosynthetic pigments, reaction centre complexes, and pigment protein (light-harvesting) complexes with details of the principles of light harvesting in light of quantum chemistry and transfer of excitation energy, structure and function, distribution of excitation energy between the photosystems, and interaction of the light-harvesting apparatus with other photosynthetic processes. © 1983, Academic Press Inc.

The random stimulus design, a single case methodology, was described. This design is a variant of the reversal or withdrawal design; however, the same set of items is presented to a subject only a small percentage of the total number of experimental conditions rather than across all conditions. The design is considered most applicable under conditions where numerous presentations are not desired since they may result in boredom, fatigue, or related variables that may adversely affect the evaluation of the dependent variables. Spelling and reading deficits were treated in the present study, but only as a means of illustrating the experimental design.

Multi-resistant Entcrobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas isolated from clinical specimens at RNS were characterized for resistance phenotype and transferred resistant phenotype. These isolates were obtained over a two year period from different specimens and from patients with varying clinical syndromes. Twenty-six of these isolates were further characterized with respect to their aminoglycoside modifying enzymes. Only three enzymes were detected: AAC(3)-I, APH(3>I and AAD (2' ')-II. The substrate range of these enzymes was investigated and not always found to coincide with the transferred phenotype. AAD(2' ')-II was found only in association with APH(3'H and not alone. The substrate range of AAC(3)-I from Pseudomonas was different from AAC(3)-I from Enterobacteriaceae but not sufficiently dissimilar to classify them as separate isoenzymes. The relatively few aminoglycoside-inactivating enzymes suggest that within this hospital there may be a limited gene pool for these enzymes. © 1983 The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.

In this study, the validation of a Revised Fear Survey Schedule for Children (FSSC-R) is detailed. Psychometric properties of the scale are reported for two normal samples and one clinical sample of school-phobic children. Initial analyses indicate that the FSSC-R possesses high internal consistency, high test-retest reliability and acceptable stability over time. Further, it adequately discriminates between normal and clinical samples, has acceptable convergent and discriminant validity and possesses a meaningful factor structure. The potential clinical utility of the scale is discussed, and important social and developmental issues affecting the development and expression of fear in children are addressed. © 1983.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects on one child of observing another child receive direct social reinforcement. In the first part of the study, pairs of same‐sex children worked on puzzles for three sessions spaced 2 to 3 days apart. One child was praised on a continuous schedule for performance, whereas the other received no praise. Although children who observed other children being praised increased their performance initially (as predicted by vicarious reinforcement and social comparison hypotheses), their performance decreased over time, reaching levels below their own baseline rates. In the second part of the study, intermittent praise delivered to the observing child was examined as a potential strategy to reverse the unexpected effects obtained in the first part of the study. Intermittent praise was found to be effective in reducing these effects and in producing enhanced performance. Individual data, as well as group data, are presented. Results are discussed in light of theoretical and applied issues related to the use of vicarious reinforcement in applied settings. 1983 Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior

View description>>

Thylakoid membrane preparations active in photosynthetic electron transport have been obtained from two marine red algae, Griffithsia monilis and Anotrichium tenue. High concentrations (0.5-1.0 M) of salts such as phosphate, citrate, succinate and tartrate stabilized functional binding of phycobilisomes to the membrane and also stabilized Photosystem II-catalysed electron-transport activity. High concentrations (1.0 M) of chloride and nitrate, or 30 mM-Tricine/NaOH buffer (pH 7.2) in the absence of salts, detached phycobilisomes and inhibited electron transport through Photosystem II. The O2-evolving system was identified as the electron-transport chain component that was inhibited under these conditions. Washing membranes with buffers containing 1.0-1.5 M-sorbitol and 5-50 mM concentrations of various salts removed the outer part of the phycobilisome but retained 30-70% of the allophycocyanin 'core' of the phycobilisome. These preparations were 30-70% active in O2 evolution compared with unwashed membranes. In the sensitivity of their O2-evolving apparatus to the composition of the medium in vitro, the red algae resembled blue-green algae and differed from other eukaryotic algae and higher plants. It is suggested that an environment of structured water may be essential for the functional integrity of Photosystem II in biliprotein-containing algae.
