A novel direct aerodynamically assisted threading methodology for generating biologically viable microthreads encapsulating living primary cells

In a recent discovery, coaxial electrospinning was explored to encapsulate living organisms within a continuous bio‐polymeric microthread from which active biological scaffolds were fabricated (Townsend‐Nicholson and Jayasinghe, Biomacromolecules 2006, 7, 3364). The cells were demonstrated to have gone through all expected cellular activity without their viability being compromised. These biologically active threads and scaffolds have direct and tremendous applicability from regenerative to therapeutic medicine. Currently these post‐processed cells as composite threads and scaffolds are being investigated in‐depth at a cellular level to establish if the processing methodology has any affect on the cellular make‐up. We now demonstrate a competing non‐electric field driven approach for fabricating composite threads and scaffolds influenced only by a differential pressure. We refer to this novel composite thread to scaffold fabrication methodology as coaxial aerodynamically assisted bio‐threading (CAABT). Our investigations firstly, demonstrate that this technique can process handle living organisms without biologically perturbing them in anyway. Secondly the process is elucidated as possessing the ability to form composite active threads from which biologically viable scaffolds are formed. Finally our study employs florescent activated cell sorting (FACScan), a method by which the cellular dynamics and viability are quantified on control and threaded cellular samples at two prescribed time points. In parallel with FACScan, optical comparison of cellular morphology at three time points within a period of three weeks is carried out to photographically observe any changes in the post‐processed cellular phenotype. Our developmental investigations into this novel aerodynamically assisted threading methodology has unearthed a unique biomicrofabrication approach, which joins cell electrospinning in the cell threading to scaffold fabrication endeavor. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

亚微米HMX/FPM2602超细混合炸药的制备工艺研究

采用"超声波、助剂-溶液-水悬浮-蒸馏-成型"和超临界流体反溶剂(SAS)包覆技术研究了亚微米奥克托今(HMX)/氟橡胶(FPM2602)混合炸药造型粉的制造工艺,并用组分分析、扫描电镜(SEM)和傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)等方法进行了表征,对两种制备工艺得到的混合炸药的起爆性能进行了测试.结果表明,超声波、助剂-溶液-水悬浮-蒸馏-成型由于自身的一些缺点不适合制备超细混合炸药;而SAS包覆技术适合制备超细混合炸药,是一种绿色环保技术.     

利用茚三酮或DFO加强显现热敏纸张上的潜在指纹

本文介绍一种新技术——利用茚三酮或DFO加强显现热敏纸张上的潜在指纹。大部分热敏纸张的热敏剂表面,使用DFO或茚三酮石油醚溶液(NPB)显影时将会变黑。显现的指纹和背景之间反差很小。新技术介绍了在指纹和热敏层之间,用丙酮水洗,可以去掉黑色污斑。其它新的化学试剂漂洗,显现的指纹有清晰的纹线和很高的反差。大量使用这种技术,可以使试剂优化,成本降低,短时间内能处理大量检材。工作试剂包括商用、不挥发、含氮的有机化合物,也使用象NPB这样的浸透性试剂。

Possibilities and problems with the use of models as a communication tool in water resource management

Politicians and policy-makers, as well as modellers, often nurses an expectation that model derived results is an objective source of information that can be used to support decisions. However, several prerequisites have to be dealt with in order to ensure that models can be used as legitimate and efficient tools in water resource management. Based on empirical material from recent studies on the use of models in stakeholder dialogues, mainly focusing on catchment nutrient transport, two central problems are identified: (a) Models are laden with choices and thus depend on assumptions and priorities of modellers. (b) There are several factors that influence ability and willingness of stakeholders (as information recovers) to criticize or accept results of the modelling exercise. Recognized factors likely to influence stakeholders' acceptance of model derived results include issues at stake, stakeholders' ability to criticize model derived information, and their trust in the institutions that have developed or applied the used models. Identified prerequisites for successful use of models in integrated water resource management include: consideration of user relevance, awareness of and preparedness to handle constraints linked to communication of model-based results, transparency of used models and data and of involved uncertainties, mutual respect between experts and stakeholders and between involved stakeholder groups, a robust institutional network, and sufficient time for dialogues. Development and use of strategies for participatory modelling, based on a continuous dialogue between experts and stakeholders is recommended as a way to facilitate that the prerequisites for a successful use of models in water resource management are fulfilled.
