点阴极电场辅助阳极连接中的紧密接触面积和电流

用等效电路的方法研究了点阴极情况下的电场辅助阳极连接效应，计算了连接电流，连接孕育期和紧密接触面积，本文结果表明，连接初期电流迅速衰减，随后缓慢变小，直至某一稳定值，孕育期随温度上升指数下降，连接温度高时，孕育期将难以观察到；待连接表面之间紧密接触面积随时间延长而非线性扩展，紧密接触区域增大时，其边界向外推进速度渐小，而接触面积增加渐快。     

A process model for active brazing of ceramics: Part II Optimization of brazing conditions and joint properties

In the present investigation, the process model developed in Part I has been applied to evaluate the microstructure and strength evolution during active brazing of ceramics. As a starting point, reaction-layer growth is assumed to occur isothermally with no restrictions in the supply of reactive element. Different kinds of diagrams are then constructed to show how specific process variables (e.g. the heating and cooling period, the limiting layer thickness, and the diffusion mechanism) affect the growth kinetics. It is concluded that the key to improved joint properties lies in control of the reaction-layer thickness through optimization of the brazing conditions, and an illustration of this is given. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Sexual dimorphism of circulating somatotropin, insulin-like growth factor I and II, insulin-like growth factor binding proteins, and insulin: relationships to growth rate and carcass characteristics in growing lambs

The effects of sex and age on patterns of circulating somatotropin (ST) concentration and plasma IGF-I, IGF-II, insulin, and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) were studied in ram, wether, and ewe lambs (n = 7 or 8) sampled at mean ages of 81 (I1) and 158 d (I2). Between 81 and 158 d of age, rams grew more rapidly than wethers (P < .01), and wethers grew more rapidly than ewes (P < .01). The sex differences in growth were reflected in empty body weight at slaughter: rams > wethers > ewes (P < .05). Mean plasma ST concentrations, ST pulse amplitude, and integrated plasma ST concentrations were greater (P < .05) in rams than in ewes at I1 and I2. Characteristics of the ST plasma profile in wethers were generally intermediate between those of rams and ewes. The interpulse interval was greater in ewes than in wethers at I2. The IGF-I and IGFBP-3 concentrations were greater in rams than in ewes at both sampling times. Plasma IGF-II was greater in ewes than in rams at I2. Mean plasma ST was approximately two thirds less at I2 than at I1 regardless of sex. Mean plasma ST and IGF-I at both ages were positively correlated with growth. Mean plasma ST at I2 was negatively correlated with fatness at slaughter. Sex and age significantly affected patterns of circulating ST and concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in prepubertal growing lambs, under conditions for which growth rates and composition were also sexually dimorphic.     

Dendritic remodelling of retinal ganglion cells during development of the rat

Investigation of the morphology of ganglion cells in the cat retina has shown that a remarkable reduction in the number of dendritic spines and branches occurs during development of the alpha and beta cell classes. To learn whether dendritic remodelling represents a generalized mechanism of mammalian retinal ganglion cell development, we have examined the morphology of ganglion cells in the retina of the developing rat. The present study has concentrated on type II cells, which retain a great number of dendritic spines and branches in the adult and comprise a large proportion of the population of rat retinal ganglion cells. To reveal fine dendritic and axonal processes, Lucifer yellow was injected intracellularly in living retinae maintained in vitro. Size and complexity of the dendritic trees were found to increase rapidly during an initial stage of development lasting from late fetal life until approximately postnatal day 12 (P12). Dendrites and axons of immature ganglion cells expressed several transient morphological features comprising an excessive number of dendritic branches and spine-like processes, and short, delicate axonal sidebranches. The following developmental stage was characterized by a remarkable decrease in the morphological complexity of retinal ganglion cells and a slowed growth of their dendritic fields. The number of dendritic branches and spines of types I and II retinal ganglion cells declined after P12 to reach a mature level by the end of the first postnatal month. Thus, even cells that retain a highly complex dendritic tree into the adult state undergo extensive remodelling. These results suggest that regressive modifications at the level of the dendritic field constitute a generalized mechanism of maturation in mammalian retinal ganglion cells.
