| Abstract: | Polychloroprene (neoprene) has been blended with polyvinylchloride (PVC) in different proportions using a new stabiliser system (magnesium oxide and zinc oxide with stearic acid) for PVC. The physical properties of the blends show that they can advantageously replace neoprene in many applications. |

| Abstract: | Blends of natural rubber (NR) with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), ethylene-propylene terpolymer (EPDM) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) were vulcanised using an efficient vulcanisation (EV) system and a semi-EV system. Compatible blends show a definite pattern of curing whereas the incompatible blends show no such pattern. |

| Abstract: | Pyridoxine-deficient young rats (3 weeks old) had significantly reduced levels of pituitary TSH, serum thyroxine (T4) and tri iodothyn nine (T,,) Compared with pyridoxine-supplemented rats. The status of the pituitary-thyroid axis of normal, pyridoxine-supplemented and pyridoxine-deficient rats was evaluated by studying the binding parameters of [3H](3-nicthylhistidine2) TRH in the pituitary of these rats. The effects of TRH and 1'4 injections on pituitary TSH and serum TSH, T4 and T3 of these two groups were also compared. The maximal binding of TRH receptors in the pituitary of pyridoxine-deficient rats was significantly higher than that of pyridoxine-supplemented control and normal rats, but there was no change in the binding affinity. Treatment with TRH stimulated TSH synthesis and release. It also increased serum T4 and T3 in both pyridoxine-supplemented and pyridoxine-deficient rats. Treatment with T4 decreased serum and pituitary TSH in both pyridoxine-supplemented and pyridoxine-deficient rats, compared with saline-treated rats. The increased pituitary TRH receptor content, response to TRH administration and the fact that regulation at the level of the pituitary is not affected in the pyridoxinedeficient rat indicates a hypothalamic origin for the hypothyroidism of the pyridoxine-deficient rat. |

| Abstract: | Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the major coenzymatic form of pyridoxine. There are over one hundred known pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent reactions, most of which are involved in the metabolism of various amino acids . Pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate can function in aminotransf erase reactions by the cyclic regeneration of the two active phosphate forms. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent reactions studied in the nervous system are involved in the catabolism of various amino acids. The putative neurotransmitters , dopamine, norepinephrine , serotonin , histamine , aminobutyric acid and taurine , as well as the sphingoiipids and poly amines are synthesized by PLP-dependent enzymes. Of these enzymes, three ( glutamic acid decarboxylase , 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase and crnithine decarboxylase) seem to have crucial roles (Fig. '). The clinical effects of pyridoxine deficiency can be explained on the basis of the known decreases in the activities of these enzymes |

| Abstract: | For the discrete-time quadratic map xt+1=4xt(1-xt) the evolution equation for a class of non-uniform initial densities is obtained. It is shown that in the t to infinity limit all of them approach the invariant density for the map. |
