The dienyne 394 undergoes facile polycyclization. Since the neopentylpalla-dium 395 is formed which has no hydrogen /J to the Pd after the insertion of the disubstituted terminal alkene, the cyclopropanation takes place to form the tt-allylpalladium intermediate 396, which is terminated by elimination to form the diene 397(275]. The dienyne 398 undergoes remarkable tandem 6-e. o-dig. 5-cxo-trig. and -exo-trig cyclizations to give the tetracycle 399 exclu-sively(277]. 

Interference Microscope. There is an interference microscope based on the same general idea as DIG (13), ie, separation of a light beam into two beams that then traverse different paths through the object space. However, the separation of the two rays is much greater than with DIG, and some interference microscopes use other means than the WoUaston prism to separate the light beam into two parallel beams. Because the result then is not specifically increased contrast but increased physical characterization data, it will be discussed later. 

Modulation contrast, like DIG, is a shearing method with the same advantages and disadvantages except that interference colors are absent with modulation contrast. The resolution, in spite of the restricted condenser aperture, is certainly not reduced. If anything, resolution seems to be improved and the images obtained have an excellent quaUty, especially in regard to contrast, one not seen with any other technique except the much more expensive video-enhanced imaging. 

The following variables can affect wall friction values of a bulk soHd. (/) Pressure as the pressure acting normal to the wall increases, the coefficient of sliding friction often decreases. (2) Moisture content as moisture increases, many bulk soHds become more frictional. (3) Particle size and shape typically, fine materials are somewhat more frictional than coarse materials. Angular particles tend to dig into a wall surface, thereby creating more friction. (4) Temperature for many materials, higher temperatures cause particles to become more frictional. (5) Time of storage at rest if allowed to remain in contact with a wall surface, many soHds experience an increase in friction between the particles and the wall surface. (6) Wall surface smoother wall surfaces are typically less frictional. Corrosion of the surface obviously can affect the abiUty of the material to sHde on it. 

The bitumen in the Athabasca deposit, which has a gravity on the API scale of 8°, is heavier than water and very viscous. Tar sand is a dense, soHd material, but it can be readily dug in the summer months during the winter months when the temperatures plunge to —45° C, tar sand assumes the consistency of concrete. To maintain acceptable digging rates in winter, mining must proceed faster than the rate of frost penetration if not, supplemental measures such as blasting are required.
