Finite Element Analysis of Ceramic Coatings under Spherical Indentation with Metallic Interlayer: Part Ⅰ Uncracked Coatings

Spherical indentation of ceramic coatings with metallic interlayer was performed by means of axisymmetric finite element analysis (FEA). Two typical ceramic coatings with relatively high and low elastic modulus deposited on aluminum alloy and carbon steel were considered. Various combinations of indenter radius-coating thickness ratios and interlayer thickness-coating thickness ratios were used in the modeling. The effects of the interlayer, the coating and the substrate on the indentation behavior, such as the radial stress distribution along the coating surface as well as the coating interface, and the plastic deformation zone evolution in the substrate were investigated in connection with the above mentioned ratios. The coating cracking dominant modes were also discussed within the context of the peak tensile stresses on the coating surface and on the coating interface.

Structural and functional properties of full-length and truncated human proapolipoprotein AI expressed in escherichia coli

Utilizing the Escherichia coli/pGex vector expression system incorporating a thrombin cleavage site, full-length (residues -6-243) and truncated forms of proapolipoprotein AI (proapoAI), terminating at amino acid residues 222, 210, 150, and 135, were purified to levels of at least 5 mg/L, after thrombin cleavage. Assessed by circular dichroism, the helical contents of L-alpha-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine-associated forms of human plasma-derived apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) and recombinant proapoAI were comparable, being 69% and 65%, respectively. Circular dichroism measurements of the lipid-associated complexes of the truncated forms showed that between the sequence of residues 150-222 no additional helicity was gained until the carboxyl-terminal sequence was present in the molecule, indicating that the carboxyl terminus of the protein is required for the formation of helix within this central region. While tryptophan residues were more than 86% accessible, as assessed by iodide quenching, in the two truncated forms, proapoAI-6-135 and proapoAI-6-150, for both free and complexed protein, this figure fell to about 50% for full-length recombinant proapoAI, further indicating the influence of the carboxyl terminus on the structure of the whole protein. While cross-linking human plasma apoAI in solution with dithiobis-(succinimidyl propionate) revealed high molecular weight oligomers by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, recombinant proapoAI did not strongly form complexes larger than trimers. None of the truncated proapoAI molecules formed oligomers larger than trimers. The shortest form, proapoAI-6-135, only dimerized. Initial results from lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activation (apoAI peptide concentration 0.2 microM) indicated that truncation of the 21 carboxy-terminal amino acids resulted in a drop of approximately 53% in activation and 33 residues a drop of 67% relative to the full-length protein. Overall these results indicate the important influence of the carboxyl terminus on the structure of apoAI.     

The use of below-knee percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in arterial occlusive disease causing chronic critical limb ischemia

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy, safety and long-term results of crural artery percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in limbs with chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI). METHODS: Patients undergoing crural artery PTA due to CLI were followed at regular clinic visits with ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) measurements. PTA of the crural arteries was attempted either alone (n = 39) or in combination with PTA of the superficial and/or popliteal artery (n = 55) in 86 limbs (82 patients and 94 procedures) presenting with CLI. The ages of patients ranged from 37 to 94 years (mean 72 years). The indications for PTA were rest pain in 10 and ulcer/gangrene in 84 limbs. RESULTS: A technically successful PTA with at least one crural level was achieved in 88% of cases (n = 83). Cumulative primary clinical success rates at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 55%, 51%, 36%, and 36%, respectively. Cumulative secondary clinical success and limb salvage rates at 36 months were 44% and 72%, respectively. CONCLUSION: PTA of the crural arteries might be considered the primary choice of treatment in patients with CLI and distal lesions with localized stenosis or segmental short occlusions.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on platinum nanoparticles electrodeposited onto porous carbon substrates

To achieve methanol fuel cell electrodes allowing a high catalyst use, thin layers of various carbon powders and recast Nafion® were electrochemically plated with platinum. The resulting Pt deposits were characterized by hydrogen and carbon monoxide electrosorption, as well as by transmission electron microscopy. Methanol oxidation was then carried out using cyclic voltammetry. The influence of the amount of carbon surface oxides and the effect of Pt specific surface area on the Pt catalytic activity were thus investigated.     

Potential instabilities of lead silver alloy anodes in acidic sulfate electrolytes

The kinetic behaviour of lead and lead–silver anodes, polarized under galvanostatic conditions in a H2SO4ZnSO4MnSO4 electrolyte, has been studied. Whereas the potential of the lead anode stabilizes during electrolysis, the potential of the lead–silver alloy anode oscillates between two limits after an induction time. Both silver on the anode surface and manganese in the electrolyte are required for the potential oscillations to appear. With increasing time the potential oscillations change in shape and period. From impedance data obtained earlier, at the beginning of, and during the potential oscillations, it is shown that the potential instabilities originate from electrode coverage by a silver salt adsorbate.
