An evaluation of techniques for measuring yield turgor in excised Salix leaves

Abstract. The use of three techniques for determining yield turgor in excised Salix leaves was investigated. These were the osmotic-solutions technique, the psychrometer technique, and the pressure-chamber technique. The application of the osmotic-solutions technique to a range of leaf types was discussed and the appropriate corrections for volume changes and the contribution of apoplastic water were detailed. It was concluded that the osmotic-solutions technique is not satisfactory for use with slowly growing and/or very elastic leaves. The psychrometer and pressure-chamber techniques were both simple compared with the osmotic-solutions technique, and gave values for yield turgor in the range of 0·3–0·5 MPa. A disadvantage of the psychrometer technique for field applications is that it requires one psychrometer chamber per sample. The pressure-chamber technique was modified for use as a field technique where multiple sampling could be easily and inexpensively achieved. Particular care was required with this technique to prevent water loss from the leaf during stress relaxation, but simple and effective procedures for doing so were found. The modified pressure-chamber technique described here, is recommended as the preferred technique for measuring the yield turgor of leaves in experiments where many simultaneous estimates of yield turgor are to be made.

一种用于食草动物粪便显微组织分析的临时装片新技术

粪便显微组织分析法是研究食草动物食性的主要方法,其常规装片技术需要使用Hoyer's 装片介质对植物碎片进行封片,而Hoyer's 封片液的粘性易导致植物碎片在装片过程中发生卷曲和重叠,影响植物碎片的识别效果。本文提出的新装片技术采用没有粘性的饱和NaCl 溶液代替Hoyer's 装片介质,结合特定的定量取样方法和装片程序,可以有效地减少植物碎片的卷曲率和重叠率。对比试验显示,新装片技术可使植物碎片卷曲率从10.4% 下降至3.8%,重叠率从25% 下降至8.1% ,说明新装片技术在减少植物碎片卷曲和重叠方面明显优于常规装片方法。

An inertial and magnetic sensor based technique for joint angle measurement

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a miniature kinematic sensor based three dimensional (3D) joint angle measurement technique. The technique uses a combination of rate gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer sensor signals. The technique enables 3D inter-segment joint angle measurement and could be of benefit in a variety of applications which require monitoring of joint angles. The technique is not dependent on a fixed reference coordinate system and thus may be suitable for use in a dynamic system such as a moving vehicle. The technique was evaluated by applying it to joint angle measurement of the ankle joint. Experimental results show that accurate measurement of ankle joint angles is achieved by the technique during a variety of lower leg exercises including walking.

A simple technique for experimental hepatic vein catheterization in swine

Hepatic vein catheterization is a valuable technique in studies of hepatic physiology and metabolism. A new technique for hepatic vein catheterization in swine is described which avoids fluoroscopy, incision, or puncture of the hepatic parenchyma. Experience with this new technique in over 40 studies of young pigs has confirmed the reliability of the technique. Management of hepatic vein catheters after insertion and potential sources of error in hepatic venous sampling are discussed.     

Analysis of the changes in the proportion of clustered labelled cells in epidermis

A new cell kinetic approach is presented from which the duration of the S and G2 + M phases can be estimated. The technique involves an analysis of the spatial distribution of labelled cells in sections or sheets of epithelium (i.e. an analysis of clustered labelled cells). The technique is largely independent of the absolute number of labelled cells and hence is not influenced by factors which affect the absolute number of labelled cells. The technique is described and experimental data from dorsal murine skin are presented. The technique has also been simulated mathematically so that the phase durations and their variances could be estimated. The advantages of the technique are: it is technically simple; it provides at least two independent estimates of the phase durations; unlabelled cells need not be counted (compare with LI or PLM analysis); it is independent of variations in the absolute yield of labelled cells, and it is applicable if the LI is low and the S phase is short (where the PLM technique tends to fail).

Densitometric analysis of dental implant placement between flapless technique and the two-stage technique--a pilot study

Flapless technique is a surgical approach of implant placement without raising a mucoperiosteal flap. Such approach has many advantages: shorter surgical treatment, minimal bleeding, postoperative discomfort for the patient is reduced; possibility of immediate loading of the inserted implant, faster procedure of implant placement and by that less time is needed for the complete implant-prosthetic restoration. Purpose of this pilot study was radiographic assessment of flapless technique and determination of its clinical values in comparison with two-stage dental implant technique through computerized densitometric analysis. The sample consisted of 10 patients with missing teeth in the premolar region in the upper jaw. An implant was placed in that position. In the first group of 5 patients the implants were inserted with the flapless technique, and in the other group of 5 patients implant insertion was done with a two-stage technique. All inserted implants were loaded with metal-ceramic crowns 3 months after placement. The patients were followed for 18 months through clinical follow-ups and radiovisiographical (RVG) images made after 3, 12 and 18 months. After comparing the average densities, the results showed similar decrease of density in both groups, conventional two-stage technique showed 3.24 and flapless technique 1.23. It can be concluded that flapless technique in everyday clinical usage has the same result as the two-stage dental implant technique.

Improving the precision and accuracy for estimating energy expenditure using the heart rate method

The "heart rate technique" is commonly used to estimate the rate of oxygen consumption (a proxy for energy expenditure) of free-ranging animals. However, a major limitation of this technique is that interindividual variability in the relationship between heart rate (f(H)) and rate of oxygen consumption (Vo2) generates large errors of estimation when the technique is applied to individual free-ranging animals. In this study, we present a new analysis technique that takes advantage of the observation that the f(H) or Vo2 relationships between individuals are frequently parallel and differ only in elevation. This technique offers superior accuracy and precision of Vo2 estimates, reducing the coefficient of variability from 18% to 9% for individual animals in an example application in macaroni penguins. This approach enables application of the heart rate technique to deduce the energetic strategies of individual animals.

An improved assay technique for matrone, a mosquito pheromone, and its application in ultrafiltration experiments.

An improved assay technique is presented for the detection of matrone, the mosquito pheromone which prevents insemination in female mosquitoes. This new technique requires 24 hours less to complete. The number of repeat tests necessary is reduced by 50% as compared to the number required utilizing the old technique and the reliability of the test is improved through the visual surveillance of the flight ability and mating activity of the females. Incorporated into this assay technique is the construction and use of a dose (dilution) response curve (calibration line) with a confidence band, establishing a threshold level of matrone activity and making it possible to assess the dilution of matrone in any non-toxic test material. Utilizing this new technique, we demonstrated by ultrafiltration that the molecular weight of matrone is between 50,000 and 100,000.
