    Notes: Abstract The ability of rat lung to remove the local anaesthetic drug bupivacaine from the blood was studied in isolated organs which were perfused either in an open (single-pass mode) or in a closed system (recirculating medium). Isolated perfused rat lungs exhibited a very low capacity to metabolize bupivacaine within 3 h during which the drug circulated continuously through the organ. The clearance values differed only by 0.2 ml/min from the control parameters in sham perfusions. The calculated extraction ratio was 0.2% and the elimination half-life was about 210 min. The volume of distribution of bupivacaine was 133 ml which remarkably surmounted the reference values obtained for sham perfusions. The distribution of bupivacaine into the pulmonary tissue was investigated applying the multiple indicator dilution technique to isolated lungs perfused in the single-pass mode. The mean elimination time of model compounds for distribution into the intravascular space, 14C-inulin, and the total water space, 3H-water, were 68 and 75 s at a flow rate of 6 ml/min. The volume of distribution was 5.9 ml for inulin and 6.5 ml for water. The mean transit time for concomitantly injected bupivacaine was 221 s and the volume of distribution was 14.4 ml. The respective parameters of sham perfusions performed without an isolated organ were substantially lower, i.e. mean elimination time 50, 50 and 61 s and distribution volume 4.9, 5.0 and 6.1 ml for inulin, water and bupivacaine. The volume of distribution during single-pass contact of bupivacaine to lung was not substantially influenced by an increase of the flow rate from 6 to 9 and 12 ml/min whereas the mean transit time dropped from 221 to 121 and 108 s, respectively. These results support the assumption that bupivacaine is extensively retained by the pulmonary tissue and that elimination of bupivacaine by metabolism can be neglegted for lung. The hemodynamic parameters of bronchiolar perfusion in the artificially perfused lung were determined using two fluorochrome-labeled macromolecular proteins, i.e. fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC)- and lissamine-rhodamine-B 200 (RB 200)-labeled globulin. After 10 min of perfusion at a flow rate of 12 ml/min in the closed system an area of 10.8070 of the peribronchiolar tissue area contained the dye-label FITC. A very similar index (10.1%) of dye-coloured capillaries was obtained when the lungs of anaesthetized rats were examined 10 min after intravenous injection of the fluorochrome into the pulmonary artery in vivo. In isolated perfused rat lungs receiving both FITC and RB 200 59.5% of FITC-labeled capillaries were reached by the second fluorochrome within 2 s. This fraction accounted for 93.3% after 10 s of circulation time. This proves that isolated rat lungs were well perfused in vitro.

    Notes: Abstract Morphological instabilities in periodic patterns occurring both in precipitation and crystallization processes (Liesegang rings and crystal zoning) are investigated and compared with similar patterns in geological samples (zebra rocks and mud bands in snow sediments). In classical Liesegang systems, undisturbed parallel or concentric precipitation bands are emanated from even or concentric diffusion sources in homogeneous diffusion matrices of gelatine or other gels. In the case of superposing diffusion sources, sources with undulatory curvatures or local diffusion barriers there may occur several types of instabilities within the sequence of regular patterns: (a) gaps within the bands forming radial alleys free of precipitate, (b) transition from broken bands to speckled patterns and (c) apparent branching of bands linked together by so-called anastomoses. Calculations with a competitive particle growth (CPG) model show that lateral instabilities in Liesegang bands (gaps and radial alleys of gaps) are the result of Ostwald ripening effects taking place after precipitation. Apparent branching of bands or formation of anastomoses can be simulated with a prenucleation model according to Ostwald's supersaturation theory. Similar irregularities can be observed in zebra rocks (e.g. banded siderite) whose bandings are commonly explained by sequential sedimentation processes. A very different mechanism is assumed to be responsible for the origin of mud bands in snow sediments. An initially homogeneous distribution of intrinsic mud in snow sediments can be arranged into parallel bands according to a crystal zoning mechanism which is based on repeated thawing and freezing of the snow sediment due to the daily alternation of sun and darkness.

    Notes: Abstract The large-scale morphology of a growing surface is characterized for a simple model of crystal growth in which interlayer transport is completely suppressed due to the Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect. In the limit where the ratio of the surface diffusion coefficient to the deposition rateD/F→∞ the surface consists of wedding-cake-like structures whose shape is given by the inverse of an error function. The shape can be viewed as a separable solution of the singular diffusion equationu 1=[u −2 u x ] x . As an application, expressions for the number of exposed layers as a function of coverage and diffusion length are derived.

    Notes: Abstract We consider a one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion model with quenched random jump rates associated with the particles, and an equivalent interface growth process on the square lattice. We obtain rigorous limit theorems for the shape of the interface, the motion of a tagged particle, and the macroscopic density profile on the hydrodynamic scale. The theorems are valid under almost every realization of the disordered rates. Under suitable conditions on the distribution of jump rates the model displays a disorder-dominated low-density phase where spatial inhomogeneities develop below the hydrodynamic resolution. The macroscopic signature of the phase transition is a density discontinuity at the front of the rarefaction wave moving out of an initial step-function profile. Numerical simulations of the density fluctuations ahead of the front suggest slow convergence to the predictions of a deterministic particle model on the real line, which contains only random velocities but no temporal noise.

    Notes: Abstract We study interacting particle systems on the real line which generalize the Hammersley process [D. Aldous and P. Diaconis, Prob. Theory Relat. Fields 103:199–213 (1995)]. Particles jump to the right to a randomly chosen point between their previous position and that of the forward neighbor at a rate which may depend on the distance to the neighbor. A class of models is identified for which the invariant particle distribution is Poisson. The bulk of the paper is devoted to a model where the jump rate is constant and the jump length is a random fraction r of the distance to the forward neighbor drawn from a probability density φ(r) on the unit interval. This is a special case of the random average process of Ferrari and Fontes [El. J. Prob. 3 (1998)]. The discrete-time version of the model has been considered previously in the context of force propagation in granular media [S. N. Coppersmith et al., Phys. Rev. E 53:4673 (1996)]. We show that the stationary two-point function of particle spacings factorizes for any choice of φ(r). Under the assumption that this implies pairwise independence, the invariant density of interparticle spacings for the case of uniform φ(r) is found to be a gamma distribution with parameter ν, where ν=1/2, 1, and 2 for continuous-time, backward sequential, and discrete-time dynamics respectively. A heuristic derivation of a nonlinear diffusion equation is presented, and the tracer diffusion coefficient is computed for arbitrary φ(r) and different types of dynamics.

    Notes: A novel synthetic foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) peptide vaccine consisting of a synthetic B-cell and macrophage activator covalently linked to an amphiphilic α-helical T-cell epitope was developed. The low molecular weight vaccine of 3400 daltons is composed of virus VP1 antigenic determinant and the immunologically active lipotripeptide tripalmitoyl-S-glyceryl-cysteinyl-seryl-serine (P3CSS) as built-in adjuvant. The vaccine, tripalmitoyl-S-glyceryl-cysteinyl-seryl-seryl-FMDV-VP1 (VP1 = serotype O1K 135-154) induces protection against homologous challenge and serotype-specific virus neutralizing antibodies in guinea pigs after single administration without further adjuvants or carriers. A P3CSS conjugate with the FMDV-VP1 segment 135-154 of strain O Wuppertal produced only poor cross-protection against challenge with O1K virus.The antigenic determinant VP1(135-154) is an amphiphilic α-helix, as shown by CD. Molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) carried out using the highly homologous α-helical alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) segment H3 as starting conformation for VP1(138-149) suggest that the FMDV segment 138-149 may adopt α-helical conformation during binding to its T-cell receptor, and that the development of the system during MDS may be considered as the dissociation step of the complex.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein neuartiges organisch-anorganisches Hybridmaterial wurde durch den Einbau des Minerals Böhmit mittels eines Sol-Gel-Prozesses in ein Kevlar-Nomex-Copolymeres hergestellt. Durch Reaktion eines Gemisches aus m- und p-Phenylendiamin mit Terephthaloylchlorid und anschließender Umsetzung mit Aminophenyltrimethoxysilan wurden Poly(phenylenterephthalamid)-Ketten mit Aminophenyltri-methoxysilan-Endgruppen synthetisiert. In dieser Polymermatrix wurde die Hydrolyse der Alkoxygruppen einer Lösung von Aluminium-sec-butanolat in Butanol durchgeführt. Dadurch wurde ein chemisch an die Aramid-Ketten gebundenes anorganisches Netzwerk aufgebaut. Aus den hergestellten Hybridmaterialien mit unterschiedlichen Böhmit-Gehalten in der Aramidmatrix wurden Filme gegossen. Die Filme aus Hybridmaterial mit bis zu 15 Gew.-% Böhmit waren transparent gelb, während bei 20 und mehr Gew.-% Böhmit opake Filme erhalten wurden. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften dieser Filme wurden untersucht. Zugfestigkeit, Zugmodul, Härte und maximale Bruchdehnung nahmen mit steigendem Böhmitgehalt zunächst zu, vemngerten sich jedoch bei weiterer Erhöhung des Mineralanteils wieder. Der Zugmodul des Hybridmaterials bei 25°C lag zwischen 3,0 und 4,5 GPa. Die Materialien hielten einer maximalen Zugspannung von 252 MPa stand und zeigten Zersetzungstemperaturen von etwa 450°C. Die rnit DMTA ermittelten Werte für den Speichemodul lagen im Bereich 7,6-18,9 GPa. Das tan δ-Signal verbreiterte sich mit zunehmendem Böhmitanteil und ging bei hohen Böhmitgehalten in eine Schulter über. Die Signalpositionen des Verlustfaktors wurden infolge der zunehmenden sterischen Einschränkung der Segmentbewegungen rnit steigendem anorganischen Anteil zu höheren Temperaturen verschoben.
    Notes: A new organic-inorganic hybrid material was prepared by incorporating boehmite into a Kevlar-Nomex copolymer via a sol-gel process. Poly(phenylene-terephthalamide) chains having aminophenyltrimethoxysilane end groups were prepared by reacting a mixture of m-and p-phenylenediamine with terephthaloyl chloride, followed by end-capping with aminophenyltrimethoxysilane. The hydrolysis of the alkoxy groups of an aluminium sec-butoxide solution in butanol was carried out in the polymer matrix, thus creating an inorganic network structure combined chemically with the aramid chains. Hybrid materials containing different proportions of boehmite in aramid were thus produced and films were cast by solvent evaporation technique. These films with up to 15 wt.-% of boehmite were yellow and transparent, whereas the films with 20 wt.-% or more contents of boehmite were opaque. Mechanical properties of these films were analyzed. The values of tensile strength, initial modulus, toughness and maximum strain at rupture were initially found to increase and then decrease with further addition of boehmite. The tensile modulus of the hybrid material was found to be in the range of 3.0-4.5 GPa at 25°C. These ceramers were found to withstand maximum tensile stress of the order of 252 MPa, and the thermal decomposition temperature was around 450°C. The storage modulus as measured using DMTA was in the range of 7.6-18.9 GPa. The tan δ peak which in general became broader with increasing boehmite content showed a shoulder for composites containing large amounts of boehmite. The position of the peaks shifted towards high temperature with the increase in the inorganic contents showing hindrance in motion with increasing boehmite contents.

Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray analyses. The central Fe2P2 unit in 1 is exactly planar whereas in 2 it is somewhat folded.

    Notes: Complexes with Metal-Phosphorus Triple Bonds as Possible Intermediates in the Reactions between Chlorophosphinidenes and Metalates of Various Transition MetalsThe reaction of [{M′(CO)5}2PCl] (M′ = Cr, W) with various metalates ([Cp′Mo(CO)3]-, [Cp * Ni(CO)]-, [Cr2(CO)10]2-) yields the M2P2 tetrahedral complexes [(MLn)2(μ,η2- P2){M′(CO)5}2] (MLn = Cp*Ni, M′= Cr (1), W (2); MLn = Cp′Mo(CO)2, M′ = Cr (4); Cp* = η5-C5Me5, Cp* = η5C5H3tBu2) and the cyclo-P4 compound [{Cr(CO)4}(η4-P4){Cr(CO)5}4] 6. As side products the distorted prismane [(Cp*Ni)2{μ4,η4-(P2-O-P2)}{W(CO)5}2] 3 and the diphosphino-methanone complex [{Cp′Mo(CO)2}2{μ4η2-PC(O)P}-{Cr(CO)5}2] 5 are formed. The complexes are characterised by NMR, IR, MS, and X-ray structure analysis (1-5). Studying the reaction pathway provided evidence of phosphido intermediates of the type [LnM≡P→M′Ln].
