Abstract

A new type of automatic force‐displacement recording myograph has been developed to measure the contraction–relaxation characteristics of contractile systems. The device produces a polytonic (variable‐force) load and therefore provides a more realistic measurement than either isometric or isotonic apparatus. Measurements on collagen that was first well ground and then extruded into a reconstituted thin tape show contraction and relaxation behaviour that can be characterized by a slightly modified form of Hill's 1938 equation. The characteristic parameters of the Hill equation determined for the reconstituted collagen were remarkably similar to those of intact muscle tissue.

The crop factor method is applied to unstressed maize, in which grass is the reference crop, and the evapotranspiration of the latter is determined with the simpli®ed equation of Makkink as proposed by De Bruin (1987). Using the crop factor published by Feddes (1987), a good agreement is found with

## Abstract This article is concerned with the numerical solution of Poisson's equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, defined on the unit square, discretized by Hermite collocation with uniform mesh. In [1], it was demonstrated that the Bi‐CGSTAB method of van der Vorst [2] with block Red‐Bla

Using density functional theory DFT , the multiplicity of the ground state was determined for Fe S Cl 1y ions as well as the order of the excited spin states. A 6 6 6 method to determine the exchange integrals J of the Fe S 5q cluster is presented based on 6 6 these results and a spin-coupling alge
