The Effectiveness of the Gene Which Slows the Rate of Wallerian Degeneration in C57BL/Ola Mice Declines With Age
No full textThe rate of Wallerian degeneration is unusually slow in severed axons of mice of the C57BL/Ola strain. Within mice of that strain we have now found that the rate of degeneration increases with the age of the animal. In 4‐week‐old mice nerve stimulation evokes muscle contractions even 5 days after sciatic nerve section and compound action potentials can be recorded in the distal nerve stump up to 3 weeks after section. In 1‐year‐old animals no action potentials can be excited 5 days after nerve section. Heterozygous mice carrying only one copy of the dominant gene show the same age‐related decline in viability of the distal nerve stump after axotomy, and the rate of decline is no greater than for homozygous mice. The more rapid rate of degeneration of severed axons of mice of the C57BL/6J strain was affected in the opposite way by age, degeneration occurring more slowly in older animals.</p

Development of an Atomic Force Microscope
No full textThis abstract presents the development of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) vertical scanner for surface topography measurements, which is composed of a single axis positioning stage with an integrated metrology system and AFM probe. The scanner is meant to track and measure a maximum topography step of 10 ?m with a measurement resolution of less then 0.1 nm and an uncertainty of less than 10 nm (1←) at a controllable bandwidth of at least 2 kHz.Precision and Microsystems EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Concrete Flow in Diaphragm Wall Panels: A Full-Scale In-Situ Test
No full textFlow processes, taking place during the concreting of diaphragm wall panels (D-wall panels), are of great importance for the quality of the wall. During this phase, the bentonite, present in the excavated trench, should be completely replaced by concrete in a controlled way. In literature several cases are described in which this process resulted in bentonite inclusions in the panel. These inclusions often lead to severe problems, like leakages, for the building pit to be excavated within the diaphragm wall panels. Beside the risks for the building pit, leakages caused by bentonite inclusions can also have large consequences for nearby constructions. In this article, set up and results of a full-scale diaphragm wall test are described. Conclusions are drawn with regard to the influence of several parameters on the flow process and subsequently on the quality of the wall and the risk on bentonite inclusions
