Cellular-type Construction: The thicknesses of diaphragm plates between the two boundary surfaces of wing tanks or cofferdams of a cellular-type construction are to be at least equal to the thickness required by 7.3.5 for floors, intercostals and brackets, elsewhere.
Scantlings of longitudinal bulkheads forming narrow wing tanks are to be in accordance with Section 22, except that the vertical distance h as used in the equations for supporting members may be measured to a point 1.22 in (4 ft) above the deck at the side. Where the wing-tank-space bulkhead to side-shell plating, is of a cellular-type construction, the depth of internal diaphragm plates is to be at least 83 mm/m (1 in./ft) of length and is to be sufficient to provide ready
A major development regarding the action of the pituitary hormones must be mentioned. Certain compounds in a variety of cells seem to be targets for hormones; these compounds appear to amplify the message and send it on. Enough evidence was accumulated to make a strong case for a particular compound, cyclic AMP (3', 5'—adenosine monophosphate), as an intra-cellular "messenger" to explain the action of several pituitary hormones at the cellular level.
