Accelerated wear testing with a microfabricated surface to evaluate the lubrication ability of biomolecules on polyethylene

Wear of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and wear‐particle‐induced osteolysis and bone resorption are the major factors causing the failure of total joint replacements. It is feasible to improve the lubrication and reduce the wear of artificial joints. We need further understanding of the lubrication mechanism of the synovial fluid. The objective of this study is to evaluate the lubricating ability of three major components in the synovial fluid: albumin, globulin, and phospholipids. An accelerated wear testing procedure in which UHMWPE is rubbed against a microfabricated surface with controlled asperities has been developed to evaluate the lubrication behavior. An analysis of the wear particle dimensions and wear amount of the tests has provided insights for comparing their lubrication performance. It is concluded that the presence of biomolecules at the articulating interface may reduce friction. A higher concentration of a biological lubricant leads to a decrease in the wear particle width. In addition, in combination with the wear results and mechanical analysis, the roles of individual biomolecules contributing to friction and wear at the articulating interface are discussed. These results can help us to identify the role of the biomolecules in the boundary lubrication of artificial joints, and further development of lubricating additives for artificial joints may be feasible. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Flexural and Shear Rigidity of Composite Sheet Piles

The flexural and shear rigidity of pultruded composite sheet pile panels consisting of E-glass fiber-reinforced polyester are studied in this paper. The analysis consists of an experimental investigation and an analytical modeling to determine the resistance of the sheet pile panels to the deflections for design of composite sheet pile walls. Timoshenko’s beam theory was used to experimentally determine the flexural rigidity (EI) and shear rigidity (kAG) of the panel. Three- and four-point bending tests were performed on six different span lengths and the results were self-compared from the two independent tests. Analytical expressions for the flexural and shear rigidities were derived to allow the prediction based on the layered structure of pultruded shapes. The values computed from the analytical expressions were examined with the experimental results.

A Standard Model-Theoretic Approach to Operational Semantics of Recursive Programs

In this paper we try to introduce a new approach to operational semantics of recursive programsby using ideas in the“priority method”which is a fundamental tool in Recursion Theory.In lieu ofmodelling partial functions by introducing undefined values in a traditional approach,we shall define apriority derivation tree for every term,and by respecting the rule“attacking the subterm of thehighest priority first”we define transition relations,computation sequences etc.directly based on astandard interpretation which includes no undefined value in its domain.Finally,we prove that ournew approach generates the same operational semantics as the traditional one.It is also pointed outthat we can use our strategy to refute a claim of Loeckx and Sieber that the opperational semanticsof recursive programs cannot be built based on predicate logic.

High-T/sub 0/ strain-compensated InGaAsSb-AlGaAsSb quantum-well lasers emitting at 2.43 /spl mu/m

Strain-compensated InGaAsSb-AlGaAsSb quantum-well (QW) lasers emitting near 2.5 /spl mu/m have been grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. The relatively high arsenic composition causing a tensile strain in the Al/sub 0.25/GaAs/sub 0.08/Sb barriers lowers the valence band edge and the hole energy level, leading to an increased hole confinement and improved laser performance. A 60% external differential efficiency in pulsed mode was achieved for 1000-/spl mu/m-long lasers emitting at 2.43 /spl mu/m. A characteristic temperature T/sub 0/ as high as 163 K and a lasing-wavelength temperature dependence of 1.02 nm//spl deg/C were obtained at room temperature. For 2000 /spl times/ 200 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ broad-area three-QW lasers without lateral current confinement, a low pulsed threshold of 275 A/cm/sup 2/ was measured.
