    Notes: Glucose and lactate metabolic rates were evaluated for cultures of cord blood (CB) mononuclear cell (MNC), peripheral blood (PB) MNC, and PB CD34+ cell cultures carried out in spinner flasks and in T-flasks in both serum-containing and serum-free media. Specific glucose uptake rates (qgluc, in micromoles per cell per hour) and lactate generation rates (qlac) correlated with the percentage of colony-forming cells (CFC) present in the culture for a broad range of culture conditions. Specifically, the time of maximum CFC percentage in each culture coincided with the time of maximum qgluc and qlac in cultures with different seeding densities and cytokine combinations. A two-population model (Qlac = α[CFC] + β([TC] - [CFC]), where [TC] is total cell concentration; Qlac is volumetric lactate production rate in micromoles per milliliter per hour; α is qlac for an average CFC; and β is qlac for an average non-CFC) was developed to describe lactate production. The model described lactate production well for cultures carried out in both T-flasks and spinner flasks and inoculated with either PB or CB MNC or PB CD34+ cells. The values for α and β that were derived from the model varied with both the inoculum density and the cytokine combination. However, preliminary results indicate that cultures carried out under the same conditions from different samples with similar initial CD34+ cell content have similar values for β and β. These findings suggest that it should be possible to use lactate production data to predict the harvest time that corresponds to the maximum number of CFC in culture. The ability to harvest ex vivo hematopoietic cultures for transplantation when CFC are at a maximum has the potential to speed the rate at which immunocompromised patients recover. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The parallel superposition of small- and large-amplitude oscillations upon steady shear flow of elastic fluids has been considered. Theoretical results, obtained by numerical methods, are based upon the Leonov viscoelastic constitutive equation. Steady-state components, amplitude, and phase angle of oscillatory components of the shear stress, the first and second normal-stress differences as a function of shear rate, deformation amplitude, and frequency have been calculated. These oscillatory components include the first harmonic of the shear stresses and the first and second harmonic of the normal stresses. In the case of small-amplitude superposition, the effect of the steady shear flow upon frequency-dependent storage and loss moduli has been determined and compared with experimental data available in the literature for polymeric solutions and melts. In the case of large-amplitude superposition, the effect of oscillations upon the steady shear flow characteristics has been determined and compared with our experimental data for a polymeric melt. The experimental results for shear stress components have been found to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions, although there are some deviations for storage modulus at high shear rates. The deviations seem to be dependent on material. Moreover, the theory is unable to describe experimental data available for the first harmonic of normal stresses.

    Notes: We consider applying the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method to solving linear systems Ax = b where the matrix A comes from the discretization of second-order elliptic operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Let (L + Σ)Σ-1(Lt + Σ) denote the block Cholesky factorization of A with lower block triangular matrix L and diagonal block matrix Σ. We propose a preconditioner M = (L^ + Σ^)Σ^-1(L^t + Σ^) with block diagonal matrix Σ^ and lower block triangular matrix L^. The diagonal blocks of Σ^ and the subdiagonal blocks of L^ are respectively the optimal sine transform approximations to the diagonal blocks of Σ and the subdiagonal blocks of L. We show that for two-dimensional domains, the construction cost of M and the cost for each iteration of the PCG algorithm are of order O(n2 log n). Furthermore, for rectangular regions, we show that the condition number of the preconditioned system M-1A is of order O(1). In contrast, the system preconditioned by the MILU and MINV methods are of order O(n). We will also show that M can be obtained from A by taking the optimal sine transform approximations of each sub-block of A. Thus, the construction of M is similar to that of Level-1 circulant preconditioners. Our numerical results on two-dimensional square and L-shaped domains show that our method converges faster than the MILU and MINV methods. Extension to higher-dimensional domains will also be discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The investigation involved the structure-property behavior of extruded cast films prepared from blends of thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). Data were obtained which showed not only the temperature dependence of the moduli and stress-strain behavior but also the orientation effects that must be prevalent in order to explain the differences between the moduli measured parallel and perpendicular to the extrusion direction. Only at high liquid crystal polymer (LCP) composition is the modulus particularly increased. The modulus enhancement with lower LCP content and utilization of process variables are discussed with respect to the induced morphological textures and nature of the process equipment. Specifically, the process variable extruder gear pump speed did not enhance Young's modulus at the same LCP content as extensively as did the process variable of extruder screw speed.

    Notes: A sound wave extrusion system has been developed. This system includes a single screw extruder and an annular die having an internal surface oscillating in the sound frequency range. Oscillating shear flow has been imposed in the direction parallel to the main pressure flow. The die characteristics and average melt temperature at the exit from the die for several thermoplastics have been measured with and without imposition of oscillations. Modeling of parallel superposition of sound oscillations upon pressure flow has been performed using the Leonov viscoelastic constitutive equation. Three cases are considered: (i) the process is isothermal and the change in die pressure is only due to a nonlinear interaction of oscillatory and pressure flow; (ii) the process is nonisothermal and adiabatic, and pressure reduction is due to the nonlinear interaction and the dissipation of oscillatory energy leading to the temperature rise in polymer melts; (iii) the process is nonisothermal with heat transfer due to transient heat conduction and the dissipation of oscillatory energy. Pressure reduction occurs due to both nonlinear interaction and temperature rise. It is found that case (i) cannot explain the observed die pressure reduction, while case (ii) describes those data only at high flow rates. The theoretical results from case (iii) are found to be in qualitative agreement with experimental observations. Generally, the theoretical results of case (iii) are better than those of cases (i) and (ii).

    Notes: The electron impact mass spectra have been obtained for isomeric C14 and C18 allenic fatty acids in the form of the methyl and picolinyl ester derivatives. When the allene moiety was in positions 3 to 9, the mass spectra of the methyl esters gave spectra with diagnostic ions that appeared to be formed by beta cleavage on the distal side of the molecule; otherwise hydrocarbon ions were dominant. With the picolinyl ester derivatives, distinctive fragmentations beta to the allene moiety on each side were observed for each isomer.

    Notes: Die auf Zelloberflächen anzutreffenden Saccharide sind Informationsträger auf molekularer Ebene. Obwohl sich Säugetiere normalerweise auf die Verwendung von nur sieben oder acht Monosaccharidbausteinen beschränken, ist wegen der Multifunktionalität dieser Monomere der Aufbau einer schier unbegrenzten Zahl komplexer Strukturen möglich. So können beispielsweise mehrere Millionen topologisch unterschiedlicher Tetrasaccharide aus diesen wenigen Monosacchariden entstehen, wenn man die Art der Verzweigung, die Konfiguration des glycosidischen C-Atoms und Modifikationen der Hydroxy- und Aminogruppen in Betracht zieht. Oligosaccharide sind daher in der Lage, effizient die riesigen Datenmengen zu kodieren, die für biologische Erkennungsprozesse, von interzellulärer Kommunikation über Signalübertragung, Zelladhäsion, Infektion und Zelldifferenzierung bis hin zu Zellentwicklung und Metastase, benötigt werden. Trotz dieser zentralen Bedeutung ist die Entwicklung von pharmazeutischen Anwendungen dieser Substanzklasse verglichen mit der anderer Biomoleküle sehr langsam. Ein Grund dafür ist, daß Techniken zur Untersuchung komplexer Kohlenhydrate fehlen. So können Oligosaccharide weder für die Sequenzanalyse amplifiziert werden, noch gibt es eine Methode für ihre automatisierte Synthese. Darüber hinaus tragen die möglicherweise geringe Bioverfügbarkeit von Oligosacchariden und Schwierigkeiten bei ihrer Produktion in technischem Maßstab zweifellos nicht dazu bei, die Entwicklung zu beschleunigen. Die hier beschriebenen enzymatischen und chemoenzymatischen Methoden, besonders die unter Verwendung von Aldolasen und Glycosyl-Transferasen, erscheinen geeignet für die Synthese von Mono- und Oligosacchariden sowie verwandten Verbindungen. Es steht zu erwarten, daß weitere Fortschritte in der Glycobiologie neue Methoden eröffnen werden, mit denen die molekulare Erkennung bei Kohlenhydraten untersucht und bioaktive Saccharide und Saccharidmimetica zur gezielten Beeinflussung eben jener Erkennungsprozesse synthetisiert werden können.

    Notes: Die molekulare Erkennung von Kohlenhydraten durch Proteine und Nucleinsäuren ist hochspezifisch, obwohl die Dissoziationskonstanten aufgrund der bei Kohlenhydraten fehlenden hydrophoben Gruppen in der Regel nur im millimolaren oder im oberen mikromolaren Bereich liegen. Die hohe Spezifität dieser schwachen Bindungen ist die Folge zahlreicher Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen und der Koordination von Metallatomen als Brücken zwischen Saccharid und Rezeptor. Zwar gibt es auch schwache hydrophobe Wechselwirkungen zwischen Zuckerbausteinen und Proteinen, doch sind hauptsächlich die durch den anomeren und den exo-anomeren Effekt festgelegte räumliche Struktur (die Torsionswinkel an der glycosidischen Bindung variieren im allgemeinen wenig) und die topographische Orientierung der Hydroxygruppen sowie der Einfluß von geladenen Gruppen am Erkennungsprozeß beteiligt. Für ein Studium der Beziehung zwischen der Struktur und der Funktion komplexer Kohlenhydrate ist daher eine gezielte Veränderung der dreidimensionalen Form und der funktionellen Gruppen erforderlich, was in der Regel durch die Synthese von Oligosacchariden aus veränderten Monosaccharidbausteinen erreicht wird. Die Verfügbarkeit unterschiedlich modifizierter Monosaccharide für die Oligosaccharidsynthese und die Ergebnisse aus Strukturuntersuchungen (z.B. NMR- und Kristallstrukturanalysen von Zucker-Protein-Komplexen) sind die Grundlage für ein Verständnis der Erkennung komplexer Oligosaccharide. Das Ziel ist die Entwicklung neuer Verbindungen, die nicht aus Saccharideinheiten bestehen und leicht zu synthetisieren sind, um sie als neue Liganden für Oligosaccharidrezeptoren oder als Enzyminhibitoren (z.B. für Glycosidasen und Glycosyl-Transferasen) einzusetzen. Wichtig ist dabei eine gute Bioverfügbarkeit dieser Verbindungen. Im ersten Teil dieses Aufsatzes haben wir einige Ansätze zur Synthese von Monosacchariden und ihren Analoga beschrieben. Hier wenden wir uns der enzymatischen und der chemoenzymatischen Synthese von Oligosacchariden und ihren Analoga zu, wobei wir ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die an der Erkennung von E-Selectin beteiligten Verbindungen legen. Weiterhin diskutieren wir Strategien zur Inhibierung von Glycosidasen und Glycosyl-Transferasen.

    Notes: The internal flows inside a backswept centrifugal impeller at off-design point conditions are analysed by solving the fully three- dimensional Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the k-∊ two-equation turbulence model. Conditions analysed have flow rates of 85 per cent and 113 per cent of the design rate. The calculated results are compared with published experimental data and the comparison shows good agreement. A jet wake structure occurs near the outlet of the impeller for each of the two off-design flow rates and the location and size of the jet wake structure seem to be independent of the flow rate.
