Několik příspěvků v tomto čísle cituje dílo A. Procy v souvislosti s problémem možné nenulové hmotnosti fotonu. Ukážeme zde, že dílo tohoto francouzského teoretického fyzika rumunského původu je mnohem rozsáhlejší. Byl skutečně významným a všestranným fyzikem., In this year we commemorate 60 years since the death of Alexandru Proca, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. He was a French scientist of Romanian origin. He developed the vector meson theory of nuclear forces and the relativistic quantum field equations which bear his name (Proca‘s equations) for the massive, vector spin-1 mesons., Ivo Kraus., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The γ-subunits of chloroplast ATP synthases are about 30 amino acids longer than the bacterial or mitochondrial homologous proteins. This additional sequence is located in the mean part of the polypeptide chain and includes in green algae and higher plants two cysteines (Cys198 and Cys204 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) responsible for thiol regulation. In order to investigate its functional significance, a segment ranging from Asp-D210 to Arg-226 in the γ-subunit of chloroplast ATP synthase from C. reinhardtii was deleted. This deletion mutant called T2 grows photoautotrophically, but slowly than the parental strain. The chloroplast ATP synthase complex with the mutated γ is assembled, membrane bound, and as CF0CF1 displays normal ATPase activity, but photophosphorylation is inhibited by about 20 %. This inhibition is referred to lower light-induced transmembrane proton gradient. Reduction of the proton gradient is apparently caused by a disturbed functional connection between CF1 and CF0 effecting a partially leaky ATP synthase complex.
Let T be an infinite locally finite tree. We say that T has exactly one end, if in T any two one-way infinite paths have a common rest (infinite subpath). The paper describes the structure of such trees and tries to formalize it by algebraic means, namely by means of acyclic monounary algebras or tree semilattices. In these algebraic structures the homomorpisms and direct products are considered and investigated with the aim of showing, whether they give algebras with the required properties. At the end some further assertions on the structure of such trees are stated, without the algebraic formalization.
