    Notes: Summary The effects of simple-carbohydrate (CHO)- and complex-CHO-rich diets on skeletal muscle glycogen content were compared. Twenty male marathon runners were divided into four equal groups with reference to dietary consumption: depletion/simple, depletion/complex, non-depletion/simple, and nondepletion/complex. Subjects consumed either a low-CHO (15% energy [E] intake), or a mixed diet (50% CHO) for 3 days, immediately followed by a high-CHO diet (70% E intake) predominant in either simple-CHO or in complex-CHO (85% of total CHO intake) for another 3 days. Skeletal muscle biopsies and venous blood samples were obtained one day prior to the start of the low-CHO diet or mixed diet (PRE), and then again one day after the completion of the high-CHO diet (POST). The samples were analysed for skeletal muscle glycogen, serum free fatty acids (FFA), insulin, and lactate and blood glucose. Skeletal muscle glycogen content increased significantly (p〈0.05) only in the nondepletion/simple group. When groups were combined, according to the type of CHO ingested and/or utilization of a depletion diet, significant increases were observed in glycogen content. Serum FFA decreased significantly (p〈0.05) for the nondepletion/complex group only, while serum insulin, blood glucose, and serum lactate were not altered. It is concluded that significant increases in skeletal muscle glycogen content can be achieved with a diet high in simple-CHO or complex-CHO, with or without initial consumption of a low-CHO diet.

    Notes: Summary A comparison of the influence of simple and complex carbohydrate (CHO) consumption on adipose tissue- and skeletal muscle-lipoprotein lipase activity (AT-LPLA, SM-LPLA) was examined. Twenty male marathon runners were divided into two equal dietary groups: simple-CHO and complex-CHO. Half of the subjects in each group consumed either a low-CHO (15% energy [E] intake), or a mixed diet (50% CHO) for 3 days. Immediately following this dietary period, the subjects consumed a CHO-rich diet (70% E intake) predominant in simple-CHO or in complex-CHO for an additional 3 days. Thereafter, all subjects returned to a normal mixed diet. Skeletal muscle biopsies, adipose tissue aspirations, and venous blood samples were obtained prior to dietary manipulation (PRE), upon completion of the 6 day diet (POST I), and 2 weeks after returning to a normal diet (POST II). The samples were analysed for AT-LPLA, SM-LPLA, serum insulin, and free fatty acids (FFA), and blood glucose, and lactate. SM-LPLA fell 71% from PRE values of 0.39±0.30 μ mol · g−1 · h−1 to POST I values of 0.11 ±0.09 μ mol · g−1 · h−1 (means±SD) (p〈0.05), after a complex-CHO diet. However, the simple-CHO diet did not alter SM-LPLA. AT-LPLA similarly decreased (p〈0.05) after the complex-CHO diet, and no significant decrease was noted after the simple-CHO diet. Serum FFA decreased significantly (p〈0.05) after a simple-CHO diet (0.82±0.13 to 0.65±0.10 mmol l−1) but were unchanged after a complex-CHO diet. Blood glucose and lactate, and serum insulin were not altered following a CHO-rich diet.

    Notes: Preliminary enzymatic polymerization studies in the simple stoichiometric adipic acid/butane-1,4-diol system using lipase B from Candida antarctica, immobilized as Novozym 435®, suggest that in solvent-free conditions a step-growth mechanism operates involving the sequential addition of an AB synthon by esterification mode only. Conversely, in toluene as solvent there is a change to the more facile transesterification mode in line with the conventional polyesterification procedure, pointing to a change in specificity of the lipase. Evidence is drawn from qualitative studies using a series of synthetic intermediates, enabling authentication of product mixtures together with an indication of the comparative reactivity of species along the proposed reaction pathway. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The value of in situ monitoring to study growth dynamics and surface reaction kinetics in a gas source molecular beam epitaxy process is illustrated with reference to the growth of Si films on Si(001) substrates using a beam of disilane (Si2H6). By using a combination of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS), we show first how morphological (long-range order) and local electronic structure effects can be separated in the evaluation of growth dynamics. This involves the measurement of step density changes by RHEED concomitantly with the variation in domain coverage on the Si(001) (2×1)+(1×2) reconstructed surface by RAS. This approach is then extended to investigate the kinetics of hydrogen desorption, which is the rate-limiting step in Si growth from Si2H6. It is shown that over a significant temperature range, zeroth-order kinetics are obeyed and this is explained on the basis of a step-mediated desorption process. Finally we show how this influences the growth rate on substrates of differing degrees of vicinality. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) has been utilised to monitor the decomposition of trimethylgallium (TMGa) on the reactive internal surface of the protonated form of zeolite Y under metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) conditions designed to produce GaP deposits that exhibit quantum-size effects. The CARS data clearly reveal the facile room temperature decomposition of TMGa in the zeolite, as evidenced by the detection of increasing levels of methane with increasing reaction time. In addition, the zeolite samples were analysed by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance with magic angle spinning (MAS NMR) before reaction, after reaction of TMGa and after subsequent reaction with phosphine at 300°C. These data reveal that TMGa reacts with acid sites in the zeolite 12-rings, resulting in species containing methyl groups. Subsequent exposure to phosphine removes these methyl group protons, leaving various, as yet not fully characterised, phosphorus species. Exposure to phosphine does not appear to regenerate the acid sites on the zeolite.

    Notes: The surface composition of various ceramic substrates used for electronics applications is heterogeneous. In the case of debased alumina, this may result from the diffusion of sintering aids such as silica, added during the manufacturing process, which produce a complex bonding surface. In this study, the durability of a visible light curing resin applied to a variety of ceramic substrates of differing acidity/basicity was investigated. Butt-joints consisting of photocured resin adhered to quartz, silicon wafers and polished alumina were produced. Following immersion in water at 50°C for periods of several weeks, joints were fractured (in situ in the VG ESCALAB Mk II and just prior to loading into the Scienta ESCA300). Angle-resolved XPS analysis was carried out on both sides of the failure. Failure occurred cohesively, with 1-2 nm of polymer remaining on the ceramic side of the failure. Orientation of the oxygenated functional groups of the polymer was observed within this overlayer, with methoxy groups being aggregated immediately adjacent to the inorganic surface; subtle differences were observed between the polished alumina and other substrates. An absence of the aromatic groups from the photocured polymer was also noted on the ceramic side of the failure. These results are explained in terms of acid-base interactions, and a model for adhesion and subsequent failure of the system is proposed.

    Notes: The durability of photocured resins adhered to ceramic substrates has been investigated. Monochromated XPS and time-of-flight SIMS were employed to determine the precise locus of failure in butt-joints comprised of a photocured resin adhered to either a 96% pure, debased alumina substrate or single-crystal silicon. Prolonged (〉 14 days) immersion in water at 50°C resulted in cohesive failure, with 1-2 nm of polymer remaining on one of the ceramic substrates. An absence in the spectrum of any components attributable to characteristic groups from a major constituent of the polymer within this overlayer suggested the possibility that one of the minor resin components was aggregating at the organic/inorganic interface to produce an in situ weak boundary layer. The interactions of some of the organic molecules present in the formulation with the α-alumina substrate were investigated using molecular modelling techniques to indicate the most favourable interactions with the substrate. Durability studies were also carried out on a reformulated photocured resin to investigate the effect of removal of the ethoxylated methacrylate monomer, suspected of being the principal organic component at the weak boundary layer, on both joint performance and locus of failure.
