1. Use of dynamic ballast testing equipment for analysis of rail aggregate breakdown
Abstract The granulometric range used has a direct influence on the life of the ballast layer when subjected to the load generated by rail traffic. However, in Brazil, we have only two size ranges to be used. The publications related to the subject matter under study express the need for a continuous grain size strip, different from the ones usually used in

2. Aggregation agents and structural stability in soils with different texture and organic carbon contents
The flat pampas in the state of Santa Fe in Argentina have soils with high silt content, variable carbon content, and diverse degrees of structural degradation. Aggregate stability has been used as an indicator of the structural condition of the soil. This study aimed to quantify the effect of the addition of crop residues and root activity on the agents of

3. Aggregate breakdown and dispersion of soil samples amended with sugarcane vinasse
Soil aggregation is a very complex issue related to important soil attributes and processes. The aggregate breakdown and dispersion of soil samples amended with sugarcane vinasse were evaluated using ultrasonic energy. Vinasse is an important byproduct of sugarcane industries, intensively applied to soils in Brazil as liquid fertilizer. Samples of two Oxisol

4. Energia ultra-sônica: uma ferramenta em ciência do solo.
ABSTRACT: Ultrasonic energy is a promising tool in soil science. Soil aggregates breakdown susceptibility may have a significant effect on a range of soil physical properties of agronomic importance such as physical properties and erodibility. Soil dispersion characteristics curves give important informations about soil aggregate stability, and are influence

5. Application of vinasse in soils: effect on soil charges and particle dispersion / AplicaÃÃo de vinhaÃa em solos: efeito no balanÃo de cargas e dispersÃo de partÃculas
The vinasse is the main byproduct of the ethanol and sugarcane brand production; these activities are in large expansion in Brazil. For a long time the vinasse was launched into water courses, generating negative environmental impacts. One of the alternatives for producers to get rid of vinasse is its addition in soils as fertilizer. Although the effects of

6. Clearance of proteoglycan from joint cavities.
The rate of loss from the synovial cavity of proteoglycan subunit, a major constituent of cartilage, has been measured in rabbits with and without experimental arthritis. The effect of aggregation between proteoglycan and hyaluronic acid upon the rate of elimination has also been investigated. The results indicate that proteoglycan subunit has a clearance ha

7. Biomechanical and biochemical properties of dog cartilage in experimentally induced osteoarthritis.
The finding of other investigators that increased water content is often associated with signs of a torn collagen network in human osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage led to this study. In the Pond-Nuki model of post-traumatic OA experimental but not control femoral condylar cartilage showed evidence of breakdown and stiffening of collagen network as assessed by m

8. “Disaggregation” of Phytochrome in Vitro—A Consequence of Proteolysis 1
The relationship between a large molecular weight (9S) and a small molecular weight (4.5S, 60,000 molecular weight) species of phytochrome was examined to determine if the larger species was an aggregate of the smaller. Alterations of pH, salt concentration, or phytochrome concentration did not cause any observable formation of the large form from the small

9. Dynamics of the Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus during Early Sea Urchin Development
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi were labeled by green fluorescent protein chimeras and observed by time-lapse confocal microscopy during the rapid cell cycles of sea urchin embryos. The ER undergoes a cyclical microtubule-dependent accumulation at the mitotic poles and by photobleaching experiments remains continuous through the cell cycle. Finger-l

10. DNA polymerases of Euglena gracilis: heterogeneity of molecular weight and subunit structure.
Sedimentation analysis of glycerol-density gradients has shown that freshly purified DNA polymerases A and B (pol A and pol B) of Euglena gracilis have molecular weights of 185,000 (8.7S) and 240,000 (10.3S) respectively. They can aggregate in fresh preparations to give forms of higher molecular weight as shown by gel filtration through Sepharose 6B, but on

11. A sarcomeric alpha-actinin truncated at the carboxyl end induces the breakdown of stress fibers in PtK2 cells and the formation of nemaline-like bodies and breakdown of myofibrils in myotubes.
In many nonmuscle cells, nonsarcomeric alpha-actinin is distributed in the dense bodies of stress fibers, adhesion plaques, and adherens junctions. In striated muscle, a sarcomeric isoform of alpha-actinin (s-alpha-actinin) is found in the Z-bands of myofibrils and subsarcolemmal adhesion plaques. To understand the role(s) of the alpha-actinin isoforms in th

12. Sperm-egg interactions in the pig: monospermy, extensive polyspermy, and the formation of chromatin aggregates.
The process of incorporation and metamorphosis of the sperm head within the vitellus has been examined by phase-contrast microscopy in a large series of pig eggs exhibiting either normal monospermic fertilization or extensive polyspermy. This latter condition was induced in vivo after increasing the numbers of capacitated spermatozoa in the Fallopian tubes b
