1. Small dumps of the luminous cells of Mnemiopsis cannot readily be stimulated mechanically but will luminesce on treatment with saponin solution. Larger groups of luminous cells (such as are connected with two paddle plates) luminesce on mechanical stimulation. This suggests that mechanical stimulation to luminesce occurs chiefly through a nerve mechanism which has been broken up in the small...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new instrument to optimize the size, shape, and centration of anterior capsulorhexis. METHODS The study was divided into two parts. The first part was done in 10 goats' eyes. A specially designed capsulorhexis marker was used. The lower edge of the instrument was stained by gentian violet and then applied to the...

The formula for crystal violet given in Conn's book (1940) implies that quantitative measurement of the dye adsorbed by bacterial cells should be possible by a suitable micro-Kjeldahl procedure. At the present time there is no satisfactory method for estimating the degree of gram positivity although the need for such a procedure is recognized and is discussed by Bartholomew and Mittwer (1952). ...
