The spontaneous and oxytocin induced electrical activity of the pregnant uterus of rat has been studied <I>in vivo</I> by recording electromygorams at various stages during pregnancy. The electrical activity has been compared at different uterine portions in the pregnant uterus of rat; at the myometrium of the corpus, the cervix, the edge of the placental area, and the placental area. Also, one or two electrodes (silver wire, 50μ in diameter) were introduced into the myometrial coat at the different uterine poitions for the recording as described in the previous report. The experiments were performed on the 12th, 13th, 14th, 18th and 21st days of pregnancy. The electrical activity of the pregnant rat uterus consisted of repetitive spike discharges at the different uterine portions through various stages of pregnancy. <I>In vivo</I>, myometrium of the placental area showed a little spontaneous activity before term, but there was no difference between the myometrium of the edge of the placental area and of the other portions (the corpus and the cervix). No distinction between the electrical excitability of placental and nonplacental myometrium was observed at term. After the above control records were taken, oxytocin was injected in a dose of 2 or 3 i.u. intraumuscularly and the response in increase of spike discharges at the different uterine portions were clearly detected.

Albino rats of Wistar strain with normal sexual cycle on the basis of their vaginal smears were used and anesthetized with Mintal (pentobarbital) injecting 5 mg/100 g intraperitoneally in acute experiments. Spontaneous electromyographic activity of the rat uterus <I>in vivo</I> was recorded using a concentric electrode (silver wire, 50μ diameter). One electrode was placed in the tubal side and the other electrode in the cervical side of a corpusuteri of the rat. Electromyographic recordings were made with a 2 channel inkwritingapparatus. The spontaneous electrical activity of the rat uterus <I>in situ</I> could be observed through the cycle. The basic electromyographic patterns of the nonpregnant ratuterus at the estrus were the train of spike and the spike burst. From proestrus to estrus, the spontaneous spike discharges increased in amplitude and in frequency and became of a set of their discharges. In some cases the spontaneous spike discharges were observed sporadically at the diestrus of the cycle and the castrated condition.

This paper presents a numerical method for predicting the hydrodynamic and cavitation performance of a submerged hydrofoil. The numerical model of a hydrofoil is constructed with a hydrofoil and center and side struts. It is also taken account of the effect of the controll of flaps. The method represents a hydrofoil and struts by discrete vortices and line sources located on the camber surface of the hydrofoil and strut. The effect of the water surface is considered approximately by the image system in the present method. A three-dimensional theoretical procedure is used to calculate partial-and super-cavitation occurring on the hydrofoil surface. In order to verify the validity of the method, the lift and drag acting on the hydrofoil and the extent of the cavity occurring on the back or face surface of the hydrofoil were calculated and compared with the test results which was carried out in the cavitation tunnel of Akishima Laboratories (MITSUI ZOSEN) Inc. The comparisons show that the present method becomes a very useful tool for designing the hydrofoils of a high speed craft.
