    Notes: A theory for approximately steady thermal degradation of solids is developed from a superset of nonlinear integral-differential equations. The theory extends previous work, using a degradation model that is more consistent than previously published models and fully accounts for surface radiation losses. The thermal decomposition of the solid is assumed to follow a single-step first-order Arrhenius reaction. A quasi-steady regime is identified and approximate solutions are compared with experimental results for PMMA and numerical results obtained by integrating the full model. The numerical solutions are found to compare well with experimental results and the approximate solutions compare well with the numerics. Furthermore, it is found that the quasi-steady mass loss rate gives a good estimate of the average mass loss rate even during thermally thin degradation. To simplify interpretation and to aid the analysis, the degradation kinetics are re-cast in terms of a critical temperature and a critical temperature range. Application of the theory to practical situations and other modelling approaches is also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: In previous studies we developed a RF magnetron sputter technique for the production of thin Ca-P coatings. With this technique coatings can be produced that vary in Ca/P ratio as well as in structural appearance. The aim of this investigation was to obtain more understanding of the biological behavior of these coatings by way of in vitro experiments. The effect of noncoated titanium (Ti) and three different Ca-P-sputtered surfaces on the proliferation and differentiation (morphology and matrix production) of osteoblast-like cells was studied. Proliferation was determined using counting procedures; morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fluorescent markers and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) were used to obtain quantitative and compositional information about the resultant calcified extracellular matrix (ECM). Results demonstrated that proliferation of the osteoblast-like cells was significantly (p 〈 0.05) higher on noncoated than on Ca-P-coated samples. On the other hand, more mineralized ECM was formed on the coated surfaces. In addition, TEM confirmed that the cells on the coated substrates were surrounded by ECM with collagen fibers embedded in crystallized, needle-shaped structures. On the basis of these findings, we concluded that: (1) the investigated Ca-P sputter coatings possess the capacity to activate the differentiation and expression of osteogenic cells, and (2) bone formation proceeds faster on Ca-P surfaces than on Ti substrates. Further, this bone-inductive effect appeared to be dependent on the Ca-P ratio of the deposited coatings. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 40, 464-474, 1998.

    Multiple and ancient origins of the domestic dog (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-06-13
    Description: Mitochondrial DNA control region sequences were analyzed from 162 wolves at 27 localities worldwide and from 140 domestic dogs representing 67 breeds. Sequences from both dogs and wolves showed considerable diversity and supported the hypothesis that wolves were the ancestors of dogs. Most dog sequences belonged to a divergent monophyletic clade sharing no sequences with wolves. The sequence divergence within this clade suggested that dogs originated more than 100,000 years before the present. Associations of dog haplotypes with other wolf lineages indicated episodes of admixture between wolves and dogs. Repeated genetic exchange between dog and wolf populations may have been an important source of variation for artificial selection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vila, C -- Savolainen, P -- Maldonado, J E -- Amorim, I R -- Rice, J E -- Honeycutt, R L -- Crandall, K A -- Lundeberg, J -- Wayne, R K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Jun 13;276(5319):1687-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1606, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9180076" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Large-Scale Distributions of Tropospheric Nitric, Formic, and Acetic acids Over the Westerm Pacific Basin During Wintertime (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We report here measurements of the acidic gases nitric (HNO3), formic (HCOOH), and acetic (CH3COOH) over the western Pacific basin during the February-March 1994 Pacific Exploratory Mission-West (PEM-West B). These data were obtained aboard the NASA DC-8 research aircraft as it flew missions in the altitude range of 0.3 - 12.5 km over equatorial regions near Guam and then further westward encompassing the entire Pacific Rim arc. Aged marine air over the equatorial Pacific generally exhibited mixing ratios of acidic gases less than 100 parts per trillion by volume (pptv). Near the Asian continent, discrete plumes encountered below 6 km altitude contained up to 8 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) HNO3 and 10 ppbv HCOOH and CH3COOH. Overall there was a general correlation between mixing ratios of acidic gases with those of CO, C2H2, and C2Cl4, indicative of emissions from combustion and industrial sources. The latitudinal distributions of HNO3 and CO showed that the largest mixing ratios were centered around 15 deg N, while HCOOH, CH3COOH, and C2Cl4 peaked at 25 deg N. The mixing ratios of HCOOH and CH3COOH were highly correlated (r(sup 2) = 0.87) below 6 km altitude, with a slope (0.89) characteristic of the nongrowing season at midlatitudes in the northern hemisphere. Above 6 km altitude, HCOOH and CH3COOH were marginally correlated (r(sup 2) = 0.50), and plumes well defined by CO, C2H2, and C2Cl4 were depleted in acidic gases, most likely due to scavenging during vertical transport of air masses through convective cloud systems over the Asian continent. In stratospheric air masses, HNO, mixing ratios were several parts per billion by volume (ppbv), yielding relationships with 03 and N2O consistent with those previously reported for NO(y).

    Notes: The structure of a new supramolecular drug carrier (named Biovectors - BV) was studied using light scattering and scanning electronic microscopy techniques. This system consists of a polysaccharide core of chemically cross-linked maltodextrins to which phospholipids (and, in some cases, cholesterol) are added. Both polysaccharide cores and BV cross-linked with phosphate (negatively charged) and epichlorhydrin (no net charge) are spherical particles. The increase in the ionic strength of the medium increases the density of the charged polysaccharide cores. The lipid strongly interacts with neutral and negatively charged cores, decreasing both intra- and interparticle interactions. The results (mainly, ρ = Rg/Rh 〈 0.775 in some cases) suggest that BV are gel-like particles of variable density, referred to as microgels or soft spheres. Neutral polysaccharides have a strong tendency to self-aggregate. This self-aggregation of polysaccharide neutral cores is prevented by the addition of lipid or dimethylsulfoxide. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 41: 511-520, 1997

    Notes: Fully cyclized, organo soluble, phenylethynyl-terminated, ether-imide oligomers of 2-10,000 g/mol (Mn) were prepared by the reaction of 2,2′-bis[4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl]-propane dianhydride (bisphenol-A dianhydride, BPADA) with a stoichiometric excess of either para, meta, or isomeric mixtures of phenylene diamine and phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (4-PEPA) endcapper. High para-containing oligomers produced semicrystalline powders, but the all meta isomer was completely amorphous. The lower molecular weight oligomers displayed an attractive low viscosity melt and were cured to very high gel content networks at 350-380°C for 30-90 min. The cured 3000 g/mol oligomers showed a (DSC) glass transition temperature (Tg) of 267°C and produced tough, solvent-resistant films. Excellent adhesion to surface-treated titanium alloys was achieved, as judged by single-lap shear measurements. Resin infusion molding was conducted, which permitted low-void, graphite-fabric composite panels to be prepared. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 2943-2954, 1997

    Notes: High molecular weight poly(dimethylsiloxane)/semicrystalline cycloaliphatic polyester segmented copolymers based on dimethyl-1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylate were prepared and characterized. The copolymers were synthesized using a high trans content isomer that afforded semicrystalline morphologies. Aminopropyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) oligomers of controlled molecular weight were synthesized, end capped with excess diester to form a diester-terminated oligomer, and incorporated via melt transesterification step reaction copolymerization. The molecular weight of the polysiloxane and chemical composition of the copolymer were systematically varied. The polysiloxane segment was efficiently incorporated into the copolymers via an amide link and its structure was unaffected by low concentrations of titanate transesterification catalyst, as shown by control melt experiments. The homopolymer and copolymers were characterized by solution, thermal, mechanical, and surface techniques. The segmented copolymers were microphase separated as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was demonstrated that relatively short poly(dimethylsiloxane) segment lengths and compositions were required to maintain single phase melt polymerization conditions. This was, in fact, the key to the successful preparation of these materials. The copolymers derived from short poly(dimethylsiloxane) segments demonstrated good mechanical properties, melt viscosities representative of single phase polymer melts, and were easily compression molded into films. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Several aromatic dicyanate monomers have been synthesized bearing para-linked strong electron withdrawing groups, such as phenylphosphine oxide, sulfone, and carbonyl. These groups increased the reactivity of the cyanate functional groups and eliminated the need for curing catalysts. However, an undesirable decrease in the processing window between the monomer melting point and the onset of cure was also generally observed. An arylene ether phenyl phosphine oxide system was designed that displayed several attractive characteristics such as a low softening point, a wide processing window, cure with no catalyst, high Tg and high char yield in air, suggesting that these new thermosets might show good fire resistance. The dicyanate ester monomers were synthesized in high yield by reacting various bisphenols with cyanogen bromide in the presence of triethylamine. The high reactivity of the cyanate functional groups required that the cyanation reaction be conducted at temperature below 0°C in order to prevent imidocarbonate side reactions. Proton NMR and FT-IR were used to characterize these monomers. The cyclotrimerization curing process was monitored by the disappearance of the carbon-nitrogen triple bond stretch (2270 cm-1). An optimal cure schedule was determined and the cured polycyanurate networks were characterized by DSC, DMTA, and TGA. Tg values were typically 〉 250°C and 5% weight loss values were observed by TGA in air above 400°C. Several of the dicyanate monomers with sufficiently large processing windows were cured into single lap shear adhesive bonds onto titanium 6/4 and the measurements are reported herein. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    The effect of a subcutaneous silicone rubber implant with shallow surface microgrooves on the surrounding tissues in rabbits (1997)

    Notes: It has been suggested that during wound healing microtextured surfaces can alter events at the interface between implant surface surface and surrounding tissues. To investigate this phenomenon, smooth and microtextured silicone rubber implants were implanted subcutaneously in rabbits for 3, 7, 42, and 84 days. The textured implants possessed parallel surface microgrooves and ridges with a width of 2.0, 5.0, and 10.0 μm. All grooves had a depth of approximately 0.5 μm. SEM observation showed fibroblasts, erythrocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages, fibrin, and collagen on all implant surfaces after 3 and 7 days. After 42 and 84 days only little collagen, a small number of fibroblasts, but no inflammatory cells were seen on the implant surfaces. The fibroblasts were not oriented along the surface grooves on all textured surfaces. Three-dimensional reconstruction of CLSM images and LM images showed no significant differences between the thickness of the capsules surrounding the smooth and those surrounding the microgrooved implants. In contrast, LM did show a significantly lower number of inflammatory cells and a significantly higher number of blood vessels in the capsules surrounding the microgrooved implants. Differences between the 2.0, 5.0, and 10.0 μm grooved implants were not detected. Our results concerning the capsule thickness suggest that the depth of our grooves was not sufficient to facilitate mechanical interlocking, but the cause for the observed differences in inflammatory response and number of blood vessels remains unclear. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: During this study, microtechnology and plasma etching were used to produce gratings 1.0 (TiD01), 2.0 (TiD02), 5.0 (TiD05), and 10.0 μm wide (TiD10) into commercially pure titanium wafers. After incubation of rat dermal fibroblast (RDFs) on these surfaces for 3 days, the cells were observed with scanning electron (SEM), transmission electron (TEM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Results showed that the RDFs as a whole and their stress fibers oriented strictly parallel to the surface pattern on the TiD01 and TiD02 surfaces. On the TiD05 and TiD10 surfaces, this orientation was not observed. In addition, TEM and CLSM demonstrated that the focal adhesion points (FAP) were located mainly on the surface pattern ridges. TEM revealed that FAP were wrapped occasionally around the edges of the ridges. Only the RDFs on both the TiD05 and TiD10 surfaces protruded into the grooves and possessed FAP on the walls of the grooves. Attachment to the groove floor was observed only on the TiD10 textures. Comparison of these results with earlier observations on microtextured silicone rubber substrata suggests that material-specific properties do not influence the orientational effect of the surface texture on the observed RDF cellular behavior. The proliferation rate of the RDFs, however, seems to be much higher on titanium than on silicone rubber substrata. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 40, 425-433, 1998.
