Оптимизация нормированной переходной функции линейной цепи, описываемой характеристическим уравнением 4-го порядка

Определение параметров усилительной схемы, обеспечивающих наилучшую форму переходной характеристики, является одной из наиболее сложных задач усилительной техники. При наличии нескольких варьируемых параметров, т. е. при характеристических уравнениях выше второй степени, задача значительно усложняется и случайным варьированием или машинным перебором сочетаний параметров решить ее чрезвычайно трудно. С целью значительного сокращения усилий и времени, затрачиваемых на решение подобных задач, разработаны алгоритм и методика определения с помощью цифровых ЭВМ оптимальных значений коэффициентов коррекции переходных функций линейных целей, описываемых характеристическими уравнениями 2-й и 4-й степеней, при заданных значениях первого и второго выбросов. Приведены графики, иллюстрирующие ре­зультаты вычислений

Модифицирование матриксов из поли-L-молочной кислоты импульсным сильноточным электронным пучком

We describe the synthesis, characterisation and surface-modification of magnetic narroparticles and a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel, followed by the assembly and characterisation of magnetic nanoparticles on the microgel. To facilitate this deposition, the surface of the microgel is first modified via the layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes. One advantage of this concept is that it allows an independent optimization and fine tuning of the magnetic and thermoresponsive properties of individual components (nanoparticles and microgels) before assembling them so that the hybrid core-shell structure retains all the individual properties. The,decisive parameter when exploiting the thermoresponsive and magnetic properties in such hybrid core-shell structures is the amount of heat transfer from the magnetic core onto the thermosensitive (loaded) microgel (for the subsequent heat-triggered release of drugs). Inductive heat study reveals that the heat generated by the magnetic narroparticles is sufficient to cause the collapse of the microgel above its volume phase transition temperature. Successful confinement of positively and negatively charged magnetic nanoparticles between polyelectrolyte layers is achieved using the layer-by-layer deposition onto the microgel. Dynamic light scattering measurements show (i) the presence of each layer successfully deposited, (ii) the preservation of thermoresponsivity in the coated microgel, and (iii) that the magnetic nanoparticles do not get detached during the phase transition of the microgel. Electrophoresis measurements confirm charge reversal at every stage of layering of polycations, polyanions and magnetic nanoparticles. This unique combination of thermoresponsivity and magnetism opens up novel perspectives towards remotely controlled drug carriers. (c) 200

Glucose-targeted niosomes deliver vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to the brain

The aim of this study was to evaluate glucose-bearing niosomes as a brain targeted delivery system for the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). To this end, VIP/125I-VIP-loaded glucose-bearing niosomes were intravenously injected to mice. Brain uptake was determined by measuring the radioactivity of 125I-labeled VIP using gamma-counting, after intravenous administration of VIP in solution or encapsulated in glucose-bearing niosomes or in control niosomes. VIP integrity was assessed by reversed-phase HPLC analysis of brain extracts. Distribution of 125I-VIP derived radioactivity was examined from serial brain slices. HPLC analysis confirmed the presence of intact VIP in brain after administration of VIP-loaded niosomes, but not after administration of VIP solution. Encapsulation within glucose-bearing niosomes mainly allowed a significantly higher VIP brain uptake compared to control niosomes (up to 86%, 5min after treatment). Brain distribution of intact VIP after injection of glucose-bearing niosomes, indicated that radioactivity was preferentially located in the posterior and the anterior parts of the brain, whereas it was homogeneously distributed in the whole brain after the administration of control vesicles. In conclusion, this novel vesicular formulation of VIP delivers intact VIP to particular brain regions in mice. Glucose-bearing vesicles might be therefore a novel tool to deliver drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB)

Определение кинетических параметров процесса каталитического крекинга

This study describes a facile two-step approach to modify the surface of nanoparticles, thereby imparting a core-shell structure to the system. The core consists of magnetic nanoparticles and the shell is composed of thermo responsive hydroxypropyl cellulose, using a coupling agent to covalently bind the core to the shell. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is known for its biocompatibility and biodegradability, and its thermoresponsive properties make it an excellent candidate for fabricating biocompatible stimuli-responsive magnetic nanoparticles. We report the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles and the successful binding of the polymer to them. X-ray diffraction studies show that the surface modification of the magnetic nanoparticles does not result in any phase change and the size of the magnetic core thus calculated (7 nm) reveals that such hybrid core-shell system is superparamagnetic in nature, as further confirmed by magnetization measurements. The size obtained by X-ray diffraction is in good agreement with that obtained by transmission electron microscope. Evidence of binding is given by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and a quantitative analysis of the polymeric content obtained by thermogravimetry analysis. Dynamic light scattering as a function of temperature reveals the thermoresponsive behavior of the particles with a lower critical solution temperature around 41 degrees C, which is also the temperature at which cellulose undergoes a coil-to-globule transition

Enhanced cartilage regeneration in MIA/CD-RAP deficient mice

Melanoma inhibitory activity/cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein (MIA/CD-RAP) is a small soluble protein secreted from chondrocytes. It was identified as the prototype of a family of extracellular proteins adopting an SH3 domain-like fold. In order to study the consequences of MIA/CD-RAP deficiency in detail we used mice with a targeted gene disruption of MIA/CD-RAP (MIA−/−) and analyzed cartilage organisation and differentiation in in vivo and in vitro models. Cartilage formation and regeneration was determined in models for osteoarthritis and fracture healing in vivo, in addition to in vitro studies using mesenchymal stem cells of MIA−/− mice. Interestingly, our data suggest enhanced chondrocytic regeneration in the MIA−/− mice, modulated by enhanced proliferation and delayed differentiation. Expression analysis of cartilage tissue derived from MIA−/− mice revealed strong downregulation of nuclear RNA-binding protein 54-kDa (p54nrb), a recently described modulator of Sox9 activity. In this study, we present p54nrb as a mediator of MIA/CD-RAP to promote chondrogenesis. Taken together, our data indicate that MIA/CD-RAP is required for differentiation in cartilage potentially by regulating signaling processes during differentiation

Von Bezold assimilation effect reverses in stereoscopic conditions

Lightness contrast and lightness assimilation are opposite phenomena: in contrast, grey targets appear darker when bordering bright surfaces (inducers) rather than dark ones; in assimilation, the opposite occurs. The question is: which visual process favours the occurrence of one phenomenon over the other? Researchers provided three answers to this question. The first asserts that both phenomena are caused by peripheral processes; the second attributes their occurrence to central processes; and the third claims that contrast involves central processes, whilst assimilation involves peripheral ones. To test these hypotheses, an experiment on an IT system equipped with goggles for stereo vision was run. Observers were asked to evaluate the lightness of a grey target, and two variables were systematically manipulated: (i) the apparent distance of the inducers; and (ii) brightness of the inducers. The retinal stimulation was kept constant throughout, so that the peripheral processes remained the same. The results show that the lightness of the target depends on both variables. As the retinal stimulation was kept constant, we conclude that central mechanisms are involved in both lightness contrast and lightness assimilation
