    Notes: Summary Glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase catalyzes the inactivation of insulin by splitting the hormone into A and B chains. We have localized this enzyme immunocytochemically by light microscopy in the pancreas, kidney and liver of both lean and obese (ob/ob) mice and similarly in normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Localization was achieved by an antibody to glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase using a peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. In comparison with tissues from control animals, positive immunostaining for glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase was increased in the obese mouse but reduced in the diabetic rat. Different tissues showed considerable variation in the amount of glutathioneinsulin transhydrogenase which could be detected. In the pancreatic islets there was little or no evidence for the presence of the enzyme in peripheral cells. In the kidney, immunocytochemical staining was found only in the proximal tubules. In the liver there was a generalised distribution of the enzyme, but the greatest concentration was in the periportal region. These observations parallel the biochemical data relating to glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase, indicating that different amounts of insulin degrading activity exist in different regions of tissues.

    Notes: This paper exmines the influence of process variables on final thickness distributions for vacuum-formed thermoplastic parts. The process variables investigated include evacuation rate, sheet surface temperature, mold temperature, and material slip over the mold surface. The experimental data presented include, in addition to thicknesses, sheet surface temperature obtained via infrared thermography. A finite element program to model the vacuum-forming process is discussed, and the wall thickness distribution predicted by this program for a vacuum-formed part is compared with the results of the experiments.

    Notes: The development of a finite element program specifically designed to simulate thermoforming in complex three-dimensional geometries is described. The large strain finite element model developed for simulating thermoforming processes is based on a total Lagrangian formulation which results in a nonlinear system of equations that must be solved iteratively. The nonlinear material behavior and contact between the polymer and mold surf aces ieads to additional complications in the numerical solution of the thermoforming simulation problem. In an effort to verify the accuracy of the finite element model developed in this study, analyses are compared with measurements obtained from three-dimensional three-formed parts.
