The in vivo erosion behavior of crosslinked (co)polymers based on trimethylene carbonate (TMC) and epsilon-caprolactone (CL) was investigated. High molecular weight poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) homopolymer- and copolymer films were crosslinked by gamma irradiation. To adjust the in vivo erosion rate of the (co)polymer films, both the irradiation dose (25, 50, or 100 kGy) for PTMC and composition (100-70 mol % TMC) at a constant irradiation dose of 25 kGy were varied. After subcutaneous implantation of irradiated films in rats, their in vivo behavior was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. When the irradiation dose for PTMC was increased from 25 to 100 kGy, the erosion rate of nonextracted PTMC films (determined at day 5) decreased from 39.7 +/- 16.0 mu m day(-1) to 15.1 +/- 2.5 mu m day(-1), and the number of lymphocytes in the tissue surrounding the films decreased from 235 +/- 114 cells mm(-2) to 64 +/- 33 cells mm(-2). The number of macrophages and giant cells at the tissue-polymer interface also decreased with increasing irradiation dose. All (co)polymer films eroded completely within 28 days of implantation. Variation of the TMC content of gamma irradiated (co)polymer films did not affect the tissue response to the gamma irradiated (co)polymer films and their in vivo erosion behavior much.

In vivo behavior of trimethylene carbonate and ε‐caprolactone‐based (co)polymer networks: Degradation and tissue response Bat, Erhan; Harmsen, Marco C; Van Luyn, Marja Ja; Grijpma, Dirk W; Feijen, Jan (null; 2008-05-28) The in vivo erosion behavior of crosslinked (co)polymers based on trimethylene carbonate (TMC) and epsilon-caprolactone (CL) was investigated.

In Silico Geobacter sulfurreducens Metabolism and Its Representation in Reactive Transport Models King, E. L.; Tuncay, Kağan; Ortoleva, P.; Meile, C. (American Society for Microbiology, 2009-01-01) Microbial activity governs elemental cycling and the transformation of many anthropogenic substances in aqueous environments. Through the development of a dynamic cell model of the well-characterized, versatile, and abundant Geobacter sulfurreducens, we showed that a kinetic representation of key components of cell metabolism matched microbial growth dynamics observed in chemostat experiments under various environmental conditions and led to results similar to those from a comprehensive flux balance model. ...
Detection of specific solvent rearrangement regions of an enzyme: NMR and ITC studies with aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3 ')-IIIa Özen, Can; Land, Miriam L.; Tjioe, Elina; Serpersu, Engin H. (2008-01-08) This work describes differential effects of solvent in complexes of the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3')-IIIa (APH) with different aminoglycosides and the detection of change in solvent structure at specific sites away from substrates. Binding of kanamycins to APH occurs with a larger negative Delta H in H2O relative to D2O (Delta Delta H(H2O-D2O) < 0), while the reverse is true for neomycins. Unusually large negative Delta C-p values were observed for binding of aminoglycosides to APH. Delta C-p for t...
Effect of coarse aggregate size on interfacial cracking under uniaxial compression Akcaoglu, T; Tokyay, Mustafa; Celik, T (2002-12-01) The effects of aggregate type and size are important parameters in the formation of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) structure and subsequently in the failure process of concrete. The influence of surface, rigidity and size of aggregates and water/cement (w/c) ratio of the matrix on bond strength at the ITZ and the interrelationship between the bond and the matrix in the failure process of concrete under uniaxial compression were studied. For this purpose a series of experiments were designed and carried o...
Probabilistic modeling of plane failure in rock slopes DUZGUN, HSB; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Karpuz, Celal (2003-07-09) The basic aim of this study is to formulate a probabilistic method by which sources of uncertainties can be taken into account and systematically analyzed in dealing with the rock slope stability problem. For this purpose, the advanced first-order second-moment (AFOSM) method and the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) procedure are used to model the plane failure problem in rock slopes. The modeling of plane failure by the AFOSM and the MCS methods requires the understanding of the basic mechanism of plane failur...
