Spatial conductivity measurements on high T(sub c) superconducting films
High T(sub c) superconducting thin and thick films have potential applications in future NASA flight projects. In anticipation of film use, the Materials Branch is developing a nondestructive, non-contact method of measuring the spatial variation of conductivity across a film sample. This method uses a computer-controlled, X-Y positioning table to scan a conventional eddy current probe across the surface of a film. The induced changes in impedance caused by variations in film conductivity are recorded during the scanning process. Ultimately the two-dimensional data set is displayed using imaging equipment on a personal computer

Tunable Heparan Sulfate Mimetics for Modulating Chemokine Activity
Heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycans participate in critical biological processes by modulating the activity of a diverse set of protein binding partners. Such proteins include all known members of the chemokine superfamily, which are thought to guide the migration of immune cells through their interactions with HS. Here, we describe an expedient, divergent synthesis to prepare defined HS glycomimetics that recapitulate the overall structure and activity of HS glycosaminoglycans. Our approach uses a core disaccharide precursor to produce a variety of differentially sulfated glycopolymers. We demonstrate that a specific trisulfated mimetic antagonizes the chemotactic activity of the proinflammatory chemokine RANTES with potency similar to that of heparin, without inhibiting serine proteases in the blood coagulation cascade. Our work provides a general strategy for modulating chemokine activity and dissecting the pleiotropic functions of HS/heparin through the presentation of defined sulfation motifs within polymeric scaffolds
Tailored Glycopolymers as Anticoagulant Heparin Mimetics
Not to clot: Heparin and its low-molecular-weight derivatives are clinical therapeutics used to treat and prevent blood clots. The synthesis of heparin-based glycopolymers that are potent and potentially safer mimetics of heparin is described. The mimetics exhibited activity against proteases (FXa and FIIa) in the coagulation cascade and prolonged blood clot times in human plasma with efficacies similar to those of clinical anticoagulants.
