- Description: From Introduction: The use of chemical molluscicides in the control of schistosome transmitting snails has been largely based on empirical studies of toxicity, rather than on a clear understanding of basic physiology and biochemistry of snail hosts. It is therefore possible that purely physiological studies may in themselves provide information which could be of value in the development of more effective mollucicides. In this investigation an attempt has been made to understand some aspects of the respiratory physiology of three species of fresh-water pulmonate snails, all of which are of medical and veterinary importance in the Republic of South Africa. Bulinus (Physopsis) africanus (Krauss) is the intermediate host of Schistosoma haematobium, the causative organism of human schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis). Bulinus (Bulinus) tropicus (Krauss) is the intermediate host of the conical flukes Calicophoron calicophorum and Paramphistomum microbothrium and of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, while Lymnaea natalensis Krauss is the intermediate host of the liver fluke Fasciola gigantica.

Retail trade m the rural Bantu areas of the Eastern Cape has until recent years been the near-monopoly of the Whites, who still retain the bulk of this business. White traders provide the channel through which most goods are imported' into these areas and it is through them that a large part of all local produce is exported'. They act as 'middlemen', buying local produce for resale on the local domestic market. They are an important source of credit and their trading stations are important social centres in the normal run of events of the local communities. White traders have always offered other services apart from merely supplying material needs. They act as postmasters and there are frequent calls for their advice, and in cases of illness and birth, for their motor cars. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

A study of irradiation effects in solids

- Description: One of the primary objects of this research was to determine, if possible, the nature of the radiation damage prior to thermal decomposition. The X-ray study has not wholly achieved this although more information has been derived from it than from similar work on AgMnO₄ However, the diffuse reflections obtained do indicate, quite strongly, the creation of point defects during irradiation. This is of value since such assumptions have been made in the explanation of the kinetics of decomposition of a number of irradiated solids (BaN₆,CaN₆). In addition the X-ray work has suggested future research which should produce useful information; namely, a precise study of the diffuse reflections. Another object of the research was to attempt to determine what characteristics, if any, of the kinetics of the decomposition of an unirradiated solid would predetermine a marked irradiation effect. It is obvious that the type of nuclear growth which occurs e.g. branching chain, or power law, does not characterise a substance with regard to a possible irradiation effect . The photosensitivity, or otherwise, also does not determine whether there will be an irradiation effect. However, the one property that the substances which have been studied, have in common, is a polyatomic anion, but here again ammonium dichromate does not show an acceleration of the decomposition after irradiation. Consequently it is considered that it is not possible to say, a priori, whether a solid will undergo an accelerated decomposition after irradiation. Each new solid, unless it belongs to a particular class e.g. the alkaline earth azides , must be considered afresh. Nevertheless it does appear that the irradiation effect can take two forms: - (i) the production of an unstable compound e.g. nickel oxalate, the decomposition of which affects the normal pyrolysis; and (ii) the production of point defects which determine the nature of the subsequent thermal decomposition e.g . CaN₆ . It is possible that the effect requires an interaction of the created point defects with the existing line defects.

The X-ray study has not wholly achieved this although more information has been derived from it than from similar work on AgMnO₄ However, the diffuse reflections obtained do indicate, quite strongly, the creation of point defects during irradiation. This is of value since such assumptions have been made in the explanation of the kinetics of decomposition of a number of irradiated solids (BaN₆,CaN₆). In addition the X-ray work has suggested future research which should produce useful information; namely, a precise study of the diffuse reflections. Another object of the research was to attempt to determine what characteristics, if any, of the kinetics of the decomposition of an unirradiated solid would predetermine a marked irradiation effect. It is obvious that the type of nuclear growth which occurs e.g. branching chain, or power law, does not characterise a substance with regard to a possible irradiation effect . The photosensitivity, or otherwise, also does not determine whether there will be an irradiation effect. However, the one property that the substances which have been studied, have in common, is a polyatomic anion, but here again ammonium dichromate does not show an acceleration of the decomposition after irradiation. Consequently it is considered that it is not possible to say, a priori, whether a solid will undergo an accelerated decomposition after irradiation. Each new solid, unless it belongs to a particular class e.g. the alkaline earth azides , must be considered afresh. Nevertheless it does appear that the irradiation effect can take two forms: - (i) the production of an unstable compound e.g. nickel oxalate, the decomposition of which affects the normal pyrolysis; and (ii) the production of point defects which determine the nature of the subsequent thermal decomposition e.g . CaN₆ . It is possible that the effect requires an interaction of the created point defects with the existing line defects.

- Description: Marrubiin and the other two diterpenoids, compounds X and Y, which had previously been isolated from Leonotus leonurus have been reinvestigated. Although the structure for marrubiin is well known its stereochemistry has been the subject of protracted discussion and is by no means secure except at C₅ and C₁₀ . N.M.R. spectral evidence showed that the lactone ring was cis-fused and β-orientated. Dehydration experiments carried out by previous workers were repeated, in order to resolve the residual uncertainty regarding the stereochemistry at C₉, an attempt was made to prepare iodoacetyl marrubic acid for X-ray crystallographic studies. Compound Y, C₂₀H₂₈0₃, a triply-unsaturated compound was shown by spectral studies to contain a furan ring and an α,β- unsaturated keto-group. It possesses a hydroxyl group incapable of acetylation, but readily removed by alkali and dehydrating agents to yield a tetraunsaturated compound, anhydro~Y; the hydroxyl is thus tertiary, Isolation of 1:2:5-trimethylnaphthalene on dehydrogenation indicated a relationship with the labdane diterpene group and supported the C₂₀ formula, The position of the α,β-unsaturated keto-group was resolved by interpretation of the ultraviolet spectra of degradation products and also by isolation of 1:2:3:5- trimethylnaphthalene on dehydrogenation of a suitable grignard product, The presence of a β-substituted furan was further indicated by colour reactions and confirmed by mass and n.m.r. spectra. The skeleton of compound Y is correlated with marrubiin via "iso-ambreinolide " and its stereochemistry is discussed. Further stereochemical assignments are postulated from the study of the n.m.r. spectra. Compound X, C₂₀H₂₈0₅, was shown by spectral and chemical evidence to be a diterpenoid dilactone containing an ether bridge between C₉ and C₁₃ Isolation of 1:2:5 trimethylnaphthal ene on dehydrogenation showed it to be closely related to marrubiin, This was supported by n.m.r. spectral results. A structure for compound X is proposed and the stereochemistry discussed. The aerial portions of Leonotis leonitis were also extracted and shown to contain a new compound, compound R. Preliminary investigation showed that it was a dilactone containing a furan ring, The n.m.r. spectrum of the compound is discussed.

- Description: "Variation is one of the oldest and most elemental types of music, beloved and practised by all musicians since the early lute and keyboard composers." The principle of the variation is that of "variety within unity, secured by the reproduction of limited musical material in changing aspects and is fundamental to composition." Typical instances are the use of fugal themes in changing combinations and with changing counter-material; continuous sequential expansion of a single motif in the baroque sonata or suite; the symphonic development in classical sonata form; ornamentation, compression, extension or elaboration of recapitulated sections. Intro., p. 1.
