Acknowledgements. Much help was obtained from colleagues in a general way. Their advice has been, by and large, respected. Dr. Ron Fawcett of the University of California, Davis, read and criticized part of Chapter 6. Chapters 8 and 9 were reported upon by Prof. Brian B.E. Conway, University of Ottawa. Chapter 9 was monitored by Dr. Rey Sidik at Texas A M University. Chapter 10 was discussed with Prof. Nathan Lewis, Stanford University. Chapter 11 was commented upon by Dr. Norman Weinberg. Chapter 12 was studied and corrected by Dr. Robert Kelly, University of Virginia. Chapter 13 was read and criticized by Prof. AJ. Appleby, Texas A M University and Dr. Supramaniam Srinivasan, Princeton University. Chapter 14 was commented upon by Dr. Martin Blank, State University of New York, and Chapter 15 by Dr. Robert Gale of Louisiana State University. 

These comments attest to the wisdom of the symposium chairman, Dr. Martin Blank, in providing a milieu in which scientists from diverse disciplines may interact. 

The procedure described by Martin [10] has a detection limit for 90strontium for a 10-gram sample and a /3-counting blank of 250 counts per 100 min of 1 x 10 7 xgCi/g. The detection limit for 89strontium varies with the relative activities of 89strontium and 90strontium in the sample. 

In contrast to C and N, Si-metabolism is metabolicaUy inexpensive for a given cell size, a silicon frustule requires ca. 1/10 the total metabolic energy of an equivalent cell wall composed of carbon compounds (Raven, 1983). Si-metabolism is also not directly coupled to photosynthesis. Si-transport and deposition are driven by oxidative phosphorylation (Blank and SuUivan, 1979 Blank et al, 1986 Sullivan, 1976), while serine and glycine, the amino acids which provide the main fraction of the protein matrix for Si-deposition (Werner, 1977), are terminal substances produced during photorespiration (Burris, 1977). Si-metaboHsm is instead Hnked to the regulation of cell division (Fig. 37.2) and growth rates (Brzezinski et al, 1990 Martin-Jezequel et al, 2000 Volcani, 1981).

Specimens were machine welded by the inert gas shielded tungsten arc process using 4043 aluminum alloy filler wire. Welded specimen blanks such as shown in Figure 4a were furnished by the Martin Company and machined as shown in Figure 4b, It was necessary, however, in the fatigue testing to reduce the specimen width and the pin and hole diameter to avoid failures through the pin hole.
