A non-intrusive optical technique has been developed to monitor heartbeat in late third-instar Drosophila larvae. Heartbeat in this insect is an oscillation that is not temperature compensated. Deuterium oxide lengthens the period of a number of high and low frequency oscillators and clocks in a var

β¦ Synopsis
The inactivation temperature for Hill activity and for the long-lived delayed fluorescence of isolated Pisum sativum L. chloroplasts was found to depend on pH, the maximal value being in the pH region 5-7. Salts increase the inactivation temperature by 4-7 ~ C. Effects of DzO and some other substances that modify the thermostability of chloroplasts are dependent on pH. It is concluded that thermal denaturation of proteins is the most probable mechanism for heat inactivation of chloroplasts.

## Abstract The oxidation of sucrose with periodate was studied at different pH and temperature. Openβchain diβ and tetraaldehydes thus obtained were analyzed using HPLC. The ratio of singly oxidized glucose rings to doubly oxidized glucose rings proved to be dependent on the pH. This behaviour of
