Abstract:	Various types of models have been presented for the SFE of seed and essential oils in the literature. Most of these models consider the natural matrix as a porous sphere and the extractable material as a single chemical specie. In this work, the shrinking-core model is modified for application to a multi-component system in order to simulate SFE of seed oil components. The porous sphere model with the desorption-dissolution-diffusion mechanism to express the extraction is also extended for application to a multi-component system to simulate the SFE of essential oils. The results of these more rigorous analyses suggest possibilities for selective extraction of the mixture constituents, if some processing parameters could be better controlled. Selective extraction would eliminate the need for additional separation operations, which would reduce the cost of production of the desired target component(s). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:	Protein adsorption in packed columns was investigated theoretically and experimentally by frontal analysis and ion exchange chromatography. A dynamic model describing interfacial and intraparticle mass transfer and surface reaction phenomena was used in theoretical analysis. The effect of operating conditions, including temperature, feed concentration, column length and diameter, on the performance of breakthrough curves were determined. Two different techniques are employed in the estimation of the mass transfer parameters and the interaction rate constant. Use of model parameters obtained from finite bath studies results in the prediction of the 70% of the breakthrough profiles whereas simultaneous parameter estimation and solution of the partially differential model equations yield full prediction of the adsorption phenomenon. The former technique can be used in the design and scale-up of chromatography columns only if the later parts of protein adsorption are not of importance. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract:	Semi-batch deterpenation of origanum oil (Origanum Munituflorum) by dense (sub/supercritical) CO2 was studied in an unpacked column with two temperature zones which were applied to column's upper and lower sections. Experimental results at combinations of 70 and 85 bar pressure and 38 and 55 degrees C temperature levels were reported. The results were discussed in terms of 14 major components, and the monoterpene (MT) and non-monoterpene (NMT) fractions of the oil. The oil was obtained from the top of the column at four different deterpenation time-cuts (integral samples of 0-15, 15-25, 25-35, and 35-45 min time intervals). In addition, the effects of the amount of oil feed charged to the extraction vessel, the solvent-to-oil ratio, and the presence of glass beads (0.5 cm) in the column as packing material were demonstrated. The best separation between the MTs and NMTs was achieved at 70 bar with 38 degrees C lower-section and 55 degrees C upper-section temperatures. At these conditions, the MTs are preferentially separated (with relative-distribution-ratio values greater than 2.0) from NMTs (with relative-distribution-ratio values less than 0.5), almost independent of the deterpenation time (flat maximum occurs in the 15-25 min deterpenation time-cut). It is concluded that any occurrence of single-phase state in the column deteriorates the effectiveness of the separation. Lower densities (higher temperatures) at the upper section of the column enhance the separation by causing internal reflux. Statistical analyses of the data and a response-surface analysis based on empirical models are presented. The suggested processing scheme that employs selective CO2 extraction and rectification has the potential to be used in essential-oil refining technology. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:	Plasmid stability of the recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae YPB-G strain harbouring a YEp plasmid with alpha-amylase and glucoamylase genes as a fusion has been investigated in shake flasks and in a bioreactor using various compositions of media containing glucose or starch as the main carbon source. The medium composition affected both the growth characteristics and the stability of the plasmid. Superior plasmid stability was obtained in yeast minimal medium and in complex medium with glucose. Plasmid stability was substantially increased at high growth rates. Additional data were collected in the same system to investigate the kinetic characteristics of biomass and protein production, and unstructured kinetic models were used to interpret the results. At high initial glucose concentrations, where the biomass and protein production rates were similar, the kinetic models displayed good fits associated with high degrees of correlation.

Abstract:	The effects of operating conditions of sonication on the stability of some commercially purified enzyme preparations were investigated. Buffered solutions of six enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), L-lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP) and beta-galactosidase (beta G)were sonified over a range of power outputs up to 40 W. The enzymes had variable stabilities with complete stability for AP, and over 70% inactivation for G6PDH. Some inactivation models were tested for an understanding of the relation between sonification intensity and enzyme stability. Sonication processing times also affected the inactivation rate of ADH and MDH. The stability of sonified ADH was decreased with time when compared with unsonified controls. Increasing the viscosity of process fluid with glycerol gave 39% inactivation of ADH, while the control showed 15% inactivation for the operational conditions. The forces involved in the fluid must therefore have a significant role to play in the inactivation process. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:	An analysis of the growth inhibitory potency of 122 anticancer agents available from the National Cancer Institute anticancer drug screen is presented. Methods of singular value decomposition (SVD) were applied to determine the matrix of distances between all compounds. These SVD-derived dissimilarity distances were used to cluster compounds that exhibit similar tumor growth inhibitory activity patterns against 60 human cancer cell lines. Cluster analysis divides the 122 standard agents into 25 statistically distinct groups. The first eight groups include structurally diverse compounds with reactive functionalities that act as DNA-damaging agents while the remaining 17 groups include compounds that inhibit nucleic acid biosynthesis and mitosis. Examination of the average activity patterns across the 60 tumor cell lines reveals unique 'fingerprints' associated with each group. A diverse set of structural features are observed for compounds within these groups, with frequent occurrences of strong within-group structural similarities. Clustering of cell types by their response to the 122 anticancer agents divides the 60 cell types into 21 groups. The strongest within-panel groupings were found for the renal, leukemia and ovarian cell panels. These results contribute to the basis for comparisons between log(GI(50)) screening patterns of the 122 anticancer agents and additional tested compounds.

Abstract:	Diffusion coefficients, D, have been measured at five temperatures for melts of 14 samples of polybutadiene with varying vinyl content, f(v), covering a broad range. Seven of the samples have a molecular weight, M, near 1300, and the other seven have M near 3400. The experiments show that D tends to decrease with increasing f(v). This trend in the experiments can be rationalized by two seemingly different approaches. One successful approach utilizes free volume theory. The other successful approach is a Monte Carlo simulation that employs different jump rates for beads representing the two types of butadiene units. The two methods may not be as different as they appear initially, because they both incorporate, directly or indirectly, the fact that the glass transition temperature moves closer to the temperature used for measurement of D as f(v) increases.

Abstract:	We report a large genomic deletion of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, viz.. a deletion that is frequently observed in Central and Eastern Europe. The mutation, termed CFTRdele2.3(21 kb), deletes 21,080 bp spanning introns 1-3 of the CFTR gene. Transcript analyses have revealed that this deletion results in the loss of exons 2 and 3 in epithelial CFTR mRNA, thereby producing a premature termination signal within exon 4. In order to develop a simple polymerase chain reaction assay for this allele, we defined the end-points of the deletion at the DNA sequence level. We next screened for this mutation in a representative set of European and European-derived populations. Some 197 CF patients, including seven homozygotes, bearing this mutation have been identified during the course of our study. Clinical evaluation of CFTRdele2.3(21 kb) homozygotes and a comparison of compound heterozygotes for Delta F508/CFTRdele2,3(21 kb) with pairwise-matched Delta F508 homozygotes indicate that this deletion represents a severe mutation associated with pancreatic insufficiency and early age at diagnosis. Current data show that the mutation is particularly common in Czech (6.4% of all CF chromosomes), Russian (5.2%), Belorussian (3.3%). Austrian (2.6%), German (1.5%), Polish (1.5%), Slovenian (1.5%), Ukrainian (1.2%), and Slovak patients (1.1%). It has also been found in Lithuania, Latvia, Macedonia and Greece and has sporadically been observed in Canada, USA, France, Spain, Turkey, and UK, but not in CF patients from Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania or Serbia. Haplotype analysis has identified the same extragenic CF-haplotype: XV-2c/KM. 19 "A" and the same infrequent intragenic microsatellite haplotype 16-33-13 (IVS8CA-IVS17bTA-IVSI7bCA) in all examined CFTRdele2,3(21 kb) chromosomes, suggesting a common origin for this deletion. We conclude that the 21-kb deletion is a frequent and severe CF mutation in populations of Eastern- and Western-Slavic descent.

Abstract:	Monoesters of itaconic acid (monobutyl itaconate and monocyclohexyl itaconate) were synthesized and used as monomers. Poly(monobutyl itaconate) (PMBI) and poly(monocyclohexyl itaconate) (PMCHI) were prepared by free radical polymerization of these monomers using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as initiator. Subsequently, ABA type block copolymers where the A block is PMBI or PMCHI and the B block is poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) were synthesized by free radical polymerization using a macroinitiator (diperoxycarbamate) containing PDMS units. The structural formulae of the products were confirmed by spectral analysis. The molecular weights of the products are not high. Therefore the mechanical and physical properties are rather poor. However, porous structures of copolymers are observed by means of SEM.

Abstract:	We have investigated the similarities and differences in the computed dynamic fluctuations exhibited by six members of a protein fold family with a coarse-grained Gaussian network model. Specifically, we consider the cofactor binding fragment of CysB; the lysine/arginine/ornithine-binding protein (LAO); the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD); the ribose-binding protein (RBP); the N-terminal lobe of ovotransferrin in ape-form (apo-OVOT); and the leucine/ isoleucine/valine-binding protein (LIVBP). All have domains that resemble a Rossmann fold, but there are also some significant differences. Results indicate that similar global dynamic behavior is preserved for the members of a fold family, and that differences usually occur in regions only where specific function is localized. The present work is a computational demonstration that the scaffold of a protein fold may be utilized for diverse purposes. LAO requires a bound ligand before it conforms to the large-scale fluctuation behavior of the three other members of the family, CysB, PBGD, and REP, ail of which contain a substrate (cofactor) at the active site cleft. The dynamics of the ligand-free enzymes LIVBP and apo-OVOT, on the other hand, concur with that of unliganded LAG. The present results suggest that it is possible to construct structure alignments based on dynamic fluctuation behavior.

Abstract:	Deletions of the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-determining gene, SMN1, NAIP, and a third multicopy gene, BTF2p44tel were investigated in 60 unrelated Turkish SMA patients. SMN1 was deleted for at least exons 7 and 8 in 85% of the Turkish SMA patients. The NAIP gene was deleted in 75 and 33% of type I and type II SMA patients, respectively. Analysis of the 5'end of the BTF2p44tel gene indicated the extension of deletion in 13.3% of the cases, mainly in type I patients. Deletions of the NAIP and BTF2p44tel genes were detected in 1.3 and 3.9% of carrriers, respectively, in Turkish SMA families, Two patients were detected to harbor the hybrid SMN gene, one type II with deletion of the NAIP gene, and one type III without deletion of the NAIP gene.

Abstract:	A series of gamma-Al2O3 supported Ni, Ni-V, Ni-V-K catalysts were prepared by impregnation or sequential impregnation to study the effects of V and K promotion on structural properties of Ni catalysts and their catalytic performance in CO hydrogenation. The Ni content of the samples was fixed at 5 wt.% while the V content was varied between 0.5 and 2 wt.%. Finally, 0.5 wt.% K was added to 5 wt.% Ni-1 wt.% V/Al2O3 for obtaining enhanced olefin selectivities, Experimental results indicate that total activity and C-2-C-4 hydrocarbons production are increased by V addition up to 1 wt.% while olefin selectivities show a decreasing trend in the same range. The addition of K decreases the total hydrocarbons production of the catalyst, more specifically the production of paraffinic hydrocarbons and CO2, resulting in an increase in the ratio of C-2-C-3 olefins to paraffins. The maximum selectivity for lower hydrocarbons is obtained at 548 K with the 5 wt.% Ni-l wt.% V-0.5 wt.% K catalyst. Regression analysis of intrinsic kinetic data obtained in the initial rate region on the Ni-V-K catalyst shows that CO consumption kinetics is best correlated by the surface carbide mechanism with irreversible dissociative adsorption of hydrogen as the rate-limiting step.

Abstract:	Recently the rotational isomeric state (RIS) model for unperturbed polymers has been combined with potential energy functions designed for the description of the interaction of pairs of molecules for the Monte Carlo simulation of coarse-grained representations of the chains on a high coordination lattice, under conditions where individual snapshots can be "reverse mapped" back to continuous space, with all atoms presented. This method, which was originally devised for RIS chains with interdependent bonds subject to symmetric potential energy functions, has been extensively applied to the conformation, energetics, structure, and dynamics of melts, free-standing thin films, and fibers, as well as the cohesion of two films of polyethylene (PE) chains. Later, the latter technique has been extended to handle vinyl polymers of desired stereochemistry and stereochemical sequence, with application to polypropylene (PP) chains. Here, a brief summary of previous simulations of the properties of PP chains will be made along with a general review of the simulation method.

Abstract:	A model referred to as a Gaussian network model (GNM) was recently introduced for estimating the dynamic characteristics of biomolecular structures, based on atomic coordinates in the native conformation. The model relies on the construction of a Kirchhoff matrix of contacts between sufficiently close interaction sites, the latter being conveniently chosen as the individual residues of the protein, or nucleotides of the nucleic acid. Knowledge of Kirchhoff matrix permits us to determine the fluctuation behavior in the neighborhood of the folded structure, a modal decomposition of which yields information on the cooperative modes of motion. Application of the GNM to several systems is presented. The model accurately predicts the X-ray crystallographic temperature factors and the Gibbs free energy changes associated with H/D exchange in solution near native state conditions. The utility of the GNM and related mode decomposition method for extracting information on the structural elements cooperatively involved in biological function is illustrated by application to an intact imunoglobulin G structure. Regions acting as hinges and the most flexible regions involved in antigen recognition are accurately identified, in close agreement with experimental observations.

Abstract:	The production and high level secretion of TaqI restriction endonuclease using bacterial secretion signal within the malE gene was achieved by cloning the PCR-amplified gene from Thermus aquaticus into E. coli. The maltose binding protein (MBP) part of the MBP-TaqI fusion protein expressed by this construct did not interfere with the biological activity of the TaqI restriction endonuclease. E. coli XL1 carrying pH185 produced 332 U ml(-1) TaqI endonuclease 81% of which was secreted into the medium without apparent cell lysis. Optimization of culture conditions and selection of the host strain were found to be important for the efficient extracellular production of this protein.

Abstract:	The time dependence of coil-globule collapse in atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) samples having molecular weights 6.5 x 10(6) and 3.3 x 10(6) g/mol dissolved in isoamyl acetate and n-butyl chloride were studied by dynamic light scattering. For example, a dilute solution of PMMA (6.5 x 10(6) g/mol) in isoamyl acetate was quenched from 61 degrees C (Theta temperature) to 18.5 degrees C. As a result, the measured hydrodynamic radius ([R-h]) was reduced from 42 +/- 2 to 15 +/- 2 nm. For the cells used in these DLS measurements the thermal equilibration time was found to be about 20 s. The transition from coil to globule in this cell was observed to take place in almost 35 s. We have found the coil-to-globule transition time to be inversely related to the depth of quench (Delta T) of the process. This transition time also increases with increase in molecular weight of the polymer chain.

Abstract:	The miscibility of the binary and ternary blends of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), brominated polystyrene, and polystyrene was investigated using a differential scanning calorimeter. The morphology of these blends was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. These studies revealed a close relation between the blend structure and its mechanical properties. The compatibilizing effect of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) on the miscibility of the polystyrene/brominated polystyrene blends was examined. It was found that poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), which was miscible with polystyrene and partially miscible with brominated polystyrene, compatibilizes these two immiscible polymers if its contention exceeds 33 wt 9b. Upon the addition of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) to the immiscible blends of polystyrene/brominated polystyrene, we observed a change in the morphology of the mixtures. An improvement in the mechanical properties was noticed. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract:	An analytical approach based on Gaussian network model (GNM) is proposed for predicting the rotational dynamics of proteins. The method, previously shown to successfully reproduce X-ray crystallographic temperature factors for a series of proteins is extended here to predict bond torsional mobilities and reorientation of main chain amide groups probed by N-15-H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation, The dynamics of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) in the folded state is investigated using the proposed approach. Excellent agreement is observed between theoretical results and experimental (X-ray diffraction and NMR relaxation) data. The analysis reveals the important role of coupled rotations, or cross-correlations between dihedral angle Librations, in defining the relaxation mechanism on a local scale. The crystal and solution structures exhibit some differences in their local motions, but their global motions are identical. Hinge residues mediating the cooperative movements of the alpha- and beta-domains are identified, which comprise residues in helix C, Glu35 and Ser36 on the loop succeeding helix B, Ile55 and Leu56 at the turn between strands II and III. The central part of the beta-domain long loop and the turn between strands I and II display an enhanced mobility. Finally, kinetically hot residues and key interactions are identified, which point at helix B and beta-strand III as the structural elements underlying the stability of the tertiary structure, Proteins 1999;37:654-667, (C) 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Abstract:	The coil-globule transition behaviour of poly(methyl methacrylate) has been studied in isoamyl acetate by using the dynamic light scattering technique. The dimensions of the polymer show smooth and continuous contraction below a temperature (61.0 degrees C). The hydrodynamic size of PMMA in isoamyl acetate (M-w = 3.3 x 10(6) g mol(-1)) decreases to 41% in an unperturbed state at 18.4 degrees C. The temperature dependence of a chain contraction can be represented by a master curve in alpha(h)(3) \ tau \ M-w(1/2) vs \ tau \ M-w(1/2) plot, where alpha(h) = R-h/R-h,R-theta and tau = (T - theta)/theta. A high-chain density value implies that the highly collapsed globule contains 56% isoamyl acetate in its hydrodynamic volume. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:	Small mutations are the cause of the disease in one third of cases of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD), The identification of point mutations in the dystrophin gene is considered to be very important, because it may provide new insights into the function of dystrophin and direct information for genetic counselling, In this study, we have screened 18 deletion-prone exons (25.5% of the coding region) of the dystrophin gene by using a modified non-isotopic multiplex single-stranded conformation analysis (SSCA). Mutations responsible for the disease phenotype could be identified in five out of 56 unrelated DMD/BMD patients without detectable deletions, Two of these mutations, 980-981delCC and 719G > C, are novel mutations which have not been described previously. Four of the five mutations, including 980-981delCC detected in this study are found to be nonsense or frameshift mutations leading to the synthesis of a truncated dystrophin protein. The missense mutation, 719G > C, causing the substitution of highly conserved alanine residue at 171 with proline in the actin binding domain of the dystrophin, is associated with a BMD phenotype. This study also revealed the presence of six polymorphisms in Turkish DMD/BMD patients.

Abstract:	A coarse-grained dynamic Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method is used to investigate the conformational dynamics of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2). Each residue is represented therein by two interaction sites, one at the alpha-carbon and the other on the amino acid side-chain. The energy and geometry parameters extracted from databank structures are used. The calculated rms fluctuations of alpha-carbon atoms are in good agreement with crystallographic temperature factors. The two regions of the protein that pack against each other to form the main hydrophobic core exhibit negatively correlated fluctuations. The conformational dynamics could efficiently be probed by the time-delayed orientational and conformational correlation functions of the virtual bonds: the active site loop, excluding the active site bond, the turn region, and the N-terminal of the alpha-helix are relatively more mobile regions of the structure. A correlation is observed between the hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange behavior and the long-time orientational and conformational autocorrelation function values for CI2. A cooperativity in the rotations of the bonds near in sequence is observed at all time windows, whereas the cooperative rotations of the bonds far along the sequence appear at long time windows; these correlations contribute to the stability of the secondary structures and the tertiary structure, respectively.

Abstract:	Type II DNA topoisomerases are enzymes capable of transporting one DNA duplex through another by performing a cycle of DNA cleavage, transport, and religation, coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis. Here, we considered a coarse-grained model of the structure and investigated the motions within two structures, DNA topoisomerase II and DNA gyrase A. The coarse graining with only one point per residue means that motions in such large proteins can be thoroughly investigated. The overall motions are reflected in the crystallographic temperature factors, which are reproduced by the model. Also, with this approach, we can view the slowest, most cooperative, modes of motion, corresponding to the largest-scale correlated motions in the protein. These motions are nearly identical in the two proteins and are likely related to individual steps in the enzyme's complex mechanism of activity. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.*.

Abstract:	The conformational dynamics of a set of proteins, cytochrome c, alpha-lactalbumin and barnase, is studied by an off-lattice Monte Carlo (MC)/Metropolis simulation technique. A low-resolution model (virtual bond model) for the protein structure is used with recently extracted knowledge-based potentials. The calculated root-mean-square fluctuations in the alpha-carbons are in good agreement with X-ray crystallographic temperature factors. The potentially yielding or non-yielding regions of the protein for unfolding, in the kinetic sense, are identified from the correlation analysis of the rotational motions of the backbone bonds. The bonds which display highly auto-correlated rotational motions, in general, belong to those regions which are experimentally identified to be highly resistant to unfolding.

Abstract:	Simulations have been performed at 480 K for pure melts of atactic, isotactic and syndiotactic polypropylene chains with a degree of polymerization of 50 and composition C150H302, and also for the three 50:50 mixtures of two of these species. The simulations are performed on a high coordination lattice, with incorporation of short range intramolecular interactions from a rotational isomeric state model of polypropylene, and incorporation of long range interactions defined by a Lennard-Jones potential energy function for the interaction of pairs of molecules of propane. Both the rotational isomeric state model and Lennard-Jones parameters were taken directly from the literature (Suter and Prausnitz, respectively). The efficiency of the simulation on the sparsely occupied high coordination lattice facilitates the equilibration of the one- and two-component melts within accessible computer time. Onset of a tendency for demixing of isotactic and syndiotactic polypropylene is apparent in the intermolecular pair correlation functions. No such demixing occurs with isotactic and atactic polypropylene. Both of these predictions from the simulation are consistent with experimental results in the literature (Maier and Lohse, respectively). The simulation produces an ambigious prediction for the melt of atactic and syndiotactic polypropylene. This melt has been reported (Maier ) to exhibit phase separation, but less strongly than the isotactic-syndiotactic system, for which the simulation makes an unambiguous (and correct) prediction. The physical origin of the tendency for demixing in the simulations is identified as the differences in the preferred local conformations of polypropylene chains with various stereochemical sequences. This driving force is an example of "conformational asymmetry" induced solely by differences in stereochemical sequence. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)51433-5].

Abstract:	Fuzzy Relational Models (FRM) are used when implementing a dynamic matrix control (DMC) algorithm on a nonlinear process which exhibits multiplicity of steady state solutions. Following Ozkan(1), Ozkan and Camurdan(2), the openloop unstable equilibrium point of the process is first stabilized by an analog proportional only controller. DMC is then used to control this stabilized system. Both servo and regulatory control are investigated. Locally and globally obtained fixed and globally obtained variable FRMs are used. In some runs the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is also used to update the relational array so as to provide on-line learning. It is shown by simulations that FRMs that are identified in a local region performed as well as those that are identified in the whole operating region. On the other hand the performance of the system was found to be poor if a variable model is used.

Abstract:	The present article considers the coil-to-globule transition behavior of atactic and syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylates), (PMMA) in their theta solvent, n-butyl chloride (nBuCl). Changes in Rh in these polymers with temperature in dilute theta solutions were investigated by dynamic light scattering. The hydrodynamic size of atactic PMMA (a-PMMA-1) in nBuCl (M-w: 2.55 x 10(6) g/mol) decreases to 61% of that in the unperturbed state at 13.0 degrees C. Atactic PMMA (a-PMMA-2) with higher molecular weight (M-w: 3.3 x 10(6) g/mol) shows higher contraction in the same theta solvent (alpha(eta) = R-h(T)IRh (theta) = 0.44) at a lower temperature, 7.25 degrees C. Although syndiotactic PMMA (s-PMMA) has lower molecular weight than that of atactic samples (M-w: 1.2 x 10(6)), a comparable chain collapse was observed (alpha(eta) = 0.63) at 9.0 degrees C.

Abstract:	Bimetallic 5 wt.% Ni-5 wt.% Mo/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by sequential impregnation and coimpregnation were tested for their physical properties, activity, and selectivity characteristics in COx hydrogenation at 523-598 K using different feed compositions. Experimental results show that the coimpregnated Ni-Mo catalyst has the highest active metal surface area. Specific activities and activation energies for CO2 methanation on coimpregnated and sequentially impregnated catalysts indicate that the nature of the synergetic interaction is not affected by the impregnation sequence. CO hydrogenation at relatively high C/H ratios and temperatures above 548 K is accompanied by activity losses on all samples due to carbon deposition. Although there is no significant relation between carbon deposition and C-2-C-4 selectivities, a positive effect on olefin to paraffin ratios is observed at intermediate temperatures.

Abstract:	Cooperative motions of cis-1,4-polybutadiene (cis-PB) and cis-1,4-polyisoprene (cis-PI) in the bulk state are analyzed and compared using the cooperative kinematics (CK) theory. The mechanisms of relaxation on a local scale are closely similar for the two polymers in dense media, resulting from the same geometry of the backbone, which is the major determinant of the types of accessible cooperative conformational rearrangements. The correlation times for the reorientation of C-H bonds of cis-PI are found to be about 1 order of magnitude longer than those for cis-PB at the same effective friction coefficient. The results are in accordance with previous NMR experiments which indicated a ratio of about 10. The molecular characteristics responsible for this difference in the local mobilities of the two polymers are examined. Three sources are identified: (i) the excess volume swept by the moving units in cis-PI due to the CH3 units appended to the backbone, (ii) the higher short-range conformational potential energies in cis-PI compared to those in cis-PB, and (iii) the restriction in the number of accessible isomeric transitions in cis-PI compared to those of cis-PB, which is due to the excluded-volume effect.

Abstract:	The culture behaviour of Thermus aquaticus was characterized. The response of the bacterium to various carbon (tryptone, glucose, glycerol) and nitrogen sources (yeast extract, NaNO3, (NH4)(2)SO4, leucine, thymine, thiamine, glutamic acid) was studied. Amino acids did not support growth, but CASTENHOLZ salt medium supplemented with yeast extract and glucose or tryptone resulted in good growth and production. A suitable medium composition giving the highest biomass concentration and enzyme yield was developed. The simple medium containing TYE-NaCl resulted in the highest biomass concentration, whereas CASTENHOLZ mineral medium supplemented with tryptone and yeast extract gave the highest specific activity and enzyme yield. The effect of inoculum age and size on growth was also investigated in order to improve the yield and process consistency. The use of shake flasks inoculated with precultures at their early or late stationary phase resulted in the same biomass concentration (0.560 +/- 0.015 g/l) and similar maximum specific growth rates (0.258 +/- 0.003 h(-1)). Inoculum sizes between 1 and 2.5 per cent were optimal for cell growth. As the other papers on thermophilic microorganisms, including the T. aquaticus YT 1 strain, gave qualitative information on growth, the results presented hen cannot be compared with others on a quantitative basis. TaqI endonuclease was purified using a 5 step protocol including cell disruption, adsorption, precipitation, column chromatography and final dialysis. The enriched fraction had a specific activity of 33,600 U TaqI endonuclease per mg protein.

Abstract:	Co/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by changing pH coprecipitation with Co loadings in the 8.7-36 wt.% range were analyzed by TSA, TPV, pore structure, XRD as well as CO, H-2, O-2 adsorption and CO hydrogenation. High O-2 uptake and reducibility coupled with low dispersion and constant MSA above 17 wt.% Co indicate large crystallites that are less exposed to H-2. CO hydrogenation per Co site decreases with increasing dispersion or decreasing metal loading.

Abstract:	Tryptophan synthase (TRPS), with linearly arrayed subunits alpha beta beta alpha, catalyzes the last two reactions in the biosynthesis of L-tryptophan. The two reactions take place in the respective alpha- and beta-subunits of the enzyme, and the intermediate product, indole, is transferred from the alpha- to the beta-site through a 25 Angstrom long hydrophobic tunnel. The occurrence of a unique ligand-mediated long-range cooperativity for substrate channeling, and a quest to understand the mechanism of allosteric control and coordination in metabolic cycles, have motivated many experimental studies on the structure and catalytic activity of the TRPS alpha(2)beta(2) complex and its mutants. The dynamics of these complexes are analyzed here using a simple but rigorous theoretical approach, the Gaussian network model, Both wild-typo and mutant structures, in the unliganded and various liganded forms, are considered. The substrate binding site in the beta-subunit is found to be closely coupled to a group of hinge residues (beta 77-beta 89 and beta 376-beta 379) near the beta-beta interface. These residues simultaneously control the anticorrelated motion of the two beta-subunits, and the opening or closing of the hydrophobic tunnel. The latter process is achieved by the large amplitude fluctuations of the so-called COMM domain in the same subunit. Intersubunit communications are strengthened in the presence of external aldimines bound to the beta-site. The motions of the COMM core residues are coordinated with those of the alpha-beta hinge residues beta 174-beta 179 on the interfacial helix beta H6 at the entrance of the hydrophobic tunnel. And the motions of beta H6 are coupled, via helix beta HI and alpha L6, to those of the loop alpha L2 that includes the alpha-subunit catalytically active residue Asp60. Overall, our analysis sheds light on the molecular machinery underlying subunit communication, and identifies the residues playing a key role in the cooperative transmission of conformational motions across the two reaction sites.

Abstract:	The backbone dynamics of Escherichia coli ribonuclease H (RNase H) is studied by a recently developed off-lattice Monte Carlo/Metropolis simulation technique. A low-resolution model (virtual-bond model) is used together with knowledge-based potentials. The calculated mean-square fluctuations in alpha carbons are in good agreement with crystallographic temperature factors. The conformations generated around the native state are analyzed by time-dependent orientational and conformational correlation functions to study the internal motions of RNase at different time windows. A correlation between the free-energy changes for native-state hydrogen exchange (HX) and the extent of the autocorrelation in the rotations of the virtual bonds at long times has been observed. Crosscorrelations between the rotations of the bonds, which are near-neighbor in the sequence, are effective in all time windows and help the secondary structures to preserve their kinetic stability. On the other hand, the existence of cross-correlations at long times help the tertiary contacts be maintained. The order parameter of NH bond vector for each residue has been calculated and compared with N-15-NMR relaxation measurements. Proteins 1999;34:533-539. (C) 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Abstract:	The synthesis of sequential and simultaneous semi-interpenetrating hydrogel networks (IPNs) based on polyacrylamide (PAAm) and poly(itaconic acid) (PICA) is described. Polyacrylamide was used as a host polymer. Physical properties of IPN hydrogels were determined by IR, swelling, extraction and density measurements. No indication for the formation of hydrogen-bonded complexation was observed by LR spectroscopy. The extraction results showed that the grafting level between the two components of PAAm/PICA in simultaneous semi-IPN is higher than that observed in sequential IPNS. These results confirm that the decrease in swelling ratios with PICA contents is probably due to the entanglement effect. The properties of IPN hydrogels were found to be dependent on the composition and the type of IPN. Both sequential and simultaneous IPNs have quite different morphologies compared to the pure PAAm host hydrogel.

Abstract:	Background: Atomic level rotamer libraries for sidechains in proteins have been proposed by several groups. Conformations of side groups in coarse-grained models, on the other hand, have not yet been analyzed, although low resolution approaches are the only efficient way to explore global structural features. Results: A residue-specific backbone-dependent library for sidechain isomers, compatible with a coarse-grained model, is proposed. The isomeric states are utilized in packing sidechains of known backbone structures. Sidechain positions are predicted with a root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) of 2.40 Angstrom with respect to crystal structure for 50 test proteins. The rmsd for core residues is 1.60 Angstrom and decreases to 1.35 Angstrom when conformational correlations and directional effects in inter-residue couplings are considered. Conclusions: An automated method for assigning sidechain positions in coarse-grained model proteins is proposed and made available on the internet; the method accounts satisfactorily for sidechain packing, particularly in the core.

Abstract:	A purification procedure for the thermostable restriction enzyme TaqI was developed using high-performance ion-exchange liquid chromatography. The effects of various operating conditions on the separation behaviour of TaqI endonuclease from the cell extracts were investigated for optimisation and scaling up. The separation of the enzyme by HPLC was found to be strongly dependent on the sample volume, slope of linear gradient and order of the ion-exchange columns. The final yield of the enzyme is also dependent to a great extent upon the number of fractionation steps employed to purify the enzyme. In the present study, 4000 U TaqI endonuclease per mg protein was recovered from 2 g Thermus aquaticus cells with a two-step purification protocol in one day. The purification factor was 24. Compared to other classical methods of purification reported in literature with 4000 or 32 000 U enzyme from 200 g of Thermus aquaticus cells, HPLC yielded 190 000 U enzyme from 200 g cells using cation and anion HPLC columns sequentially and thus resulted in a higher efficiency.

Abstract:	Miscibility, thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate), (PVC/PEHA) blends containing 1-10 wt.-% of the triblock copolymer polycaprolactone-block-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-(PCL-PDMS-PCL, Tegomer) were investigated by several techniques. Binary blends of PVC/PEHA are found to be immiscible according to differential scanning calorimetry and viscosity measurements. The effect of Tegomer addition on the properties of blends was examined. Ternary blends of PVC/PEHA/Tegomer exhibited a single T-g behaviour and viscosity measurements indicate some compatibility. Stress-strain results showed that Tegomer has a synergetic effect on the flexibility of the blends. FTIR analysis confirms the specific interactions between the components in ternary blends of PVC/PEHA/Tegomer. Morphological properties of the blends were examined by scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract:	Whether knowledge-based intra-molecular inter-residue potentials are valid to represent inter-molecular interactions taking place at protein-protein interfaces has been questioned in several studies. Differences in the chain connectivity effect and in residue packing geometry between interfaces and single chain monomers have been pointed out as possible sources of distinct energetics for the two cases. In the present study, the interfacial regions of protein-protein complexes are examined to extract inter-molecular inter-residue potentials, using the same statistical methods as those previously adopted for intra-molecular residue pairs. Two sets of energy parameters are derived, corresponding to solvent-mediation and "average residue" mediation. The former set is shown to be highly correlated (correlation coefficient 0.89) with that previously obtained for inter-residue interactions within single chain monomers, while the latter exhibits a weaker correlation (0.69) with its intra-molecular counterpart. In addition to the close similarity of intra- and inter-molecular solvent-mediated potentials, they are shown to be significantly mon residue-specific and thereby discriminative compared to the residue-mediated ones, indicating that solvent-mediation plays a major role in controlling the effective inter-residue interactions, either at interfaces, or within single monomers. Based on this observation, a reduced set of energy parameters comprising 20 one-body and 3 two-body terms is proposed (as opposed to the 20 x 20 tables of inter-residue potentials), which reproduces the conventional 20 x 20 tables with a correlation coefficient of 0.99.

Abstract:	Fermentation characteristics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9763 immobilised in Ca-alginate gel beads have been investigated in a stirred batch system at 2, 4, 8, 10% (w/v) initial glucose concentrations. The experimental results were tested using eleven different kinetic models relating biomass and ethanol production and glucose utilisation in different forms. The models proposed by Monod and Hinshelwood were found to be more appropriate for describing the batch growth and ethanol production of immobilised S. cerevisiae at low (2-4%) and high (8-10%) initial glucose concentrations, respectively. The validation of the models chosen was done using data obtained from experiments in an inclined reactor with nutrient recirculation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:	For the binding of peptides to wild-type HIV-1 and BIV TAR RNA and to mutants with bulges of various sizes, changes in the Delta Delta Gvalues of binding were determined from experimental K-d values. The corresponding entropies of these bulges are estimated by enumerating all possible RNA bulge conformations on a lattice and then applying the Boltzmann relationship. Independent calculations of entropies from fluctuations are also carried out using the Gaussian network model(GNM) recently introduced for analyzing folded structures. Strong correlations are seen between the changes in free energy determined for binding and the two different unbound entropy calculations. The fact that the calculated entropy increase with larger bulge size is correlated with the enhanced experimental binding free energy is unusual. This system exhibits a dependence on the entropy of the unbound form that is opposite to usual binding models. Instead of a large initial entropy being unfavorable since it would be reduced upon binding, here the larger entropies actually favor binding. Several interpretations are possible: (i) the higher conformational freedom implies a higher competence for binding with a minimal strain, by suitable selection amongst the set of already accessible conformations; (ii) larger bulge entropies enhance the probability of the specific favorable conformation of the bound state; (iii) the increased freedom of the larger bulges contributes more to the bound state than to the unbound state; (iv) indirectly the large entropy of the bound state might have an unfavorable effect on the solvent structure. Nonetheless, this unusual effect is interesting.

Abstract:	The coil-globule transition for poly(methyl methacrylate) has been studied in the mixed solvent tert-butyl alcohol+water system. Two polymeric samples having molecular weights M-w=2.55 x 10(6) and M-w = 4.73 x 10(6) were used. The contraction and expansion of the molecular chains were determined by viscometric measurements, The results were compared with light scattering data obtained recently for the same system. A smooth and continuous contraction was observed below the theta temperature (41.5 degrees C). The temperature dependence of [eta] can be represented by a master curve in alpha(eta)(3)\tau\M-w(1/2) vs \tau\M-w(1/2) plot, where alpha(eta)(3) = [ eta(T)]/[ eta(theta)] is a viscosity expansion factor and tau =(T - theta)/T is the reduced temperature. A comparison of the observed globular radius with a theory for contracted coil confirmed the coil-globule transition for this system. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(98)52443-9].

Abstract:	Experiments were carried out on a 2m diameter gas generator for a ceramics factory to study the effects of air-supply pressure, steam-saturation temperature and generator-gas exit temperature on fuel heating value. A total of 64 gasification experiments was performed using a standard coal mixture. Gaseous fuels with heating values ranging from 1100 to 1400 cal/liter were obtained. The heating value of the gas could be raised by up to 27% by maintaining the three process variables close to their optimum values, i.e. air-supply pressure = 43 cm of H2O, steam-saturation temperature = 55 degrees C, and generator gas-exit temperature = 160 degrees C.

Abstract:	In the last two years, a method was developed for the Monte Carlo simulation of coarse-grained representations of the chains in polyethylene (PE) melts, under conditions where individual snapshots can be "reverse-mapped" back to continuous space, with all atoms present. In its original form, the symmetry of the torsion potential energy function, E(phi) = E(-phi), was exploited in the mapping of a coarse-grained version of the rotational isomeric state (RTS) model of PE onto a high coordination lattice. Recently the symmetry restriction was relaxed, so that the simulation could treat isolated RIS poly(propylene) (PP) chains of any stereochemical sequence. Here that simulation of isolated PP chains is extended to PP melts, by introducing the intermolecular interactions required for maintenance of cohesion with the proper cohesive energy. The method is applied to melts of isotactic PP and syndiotactic PP, and satisfactory cohesion is achieved. Satisfactory equilibration of the PP melts requires utilization of a reptation move, in addition to the single bead moves employed previously in simulations of PE melts.

Abstract:	The dynamics of polymer chains in the bulk state rue discussed at three different temperature scales: (i) Well above the glass transition temperature where the basic step of motion is the rotameric transition of bonds. In this regime, the dynamics may conveniently be analyzed by the rotational isomeric state model. (ii) In the vicinity of glass transition where friction forces from the environment dominate. In this regime, the dynamics may be modeled according to the cooperative kinematics model. (iii) Well below glass transition. Here, an analogy with a native protein is made, and the mean-squared fluctuations are analyzed by adopting the Gaussian Network Model, which recently proved successful in describing fluctuations in native proteins.

Abstract:	The steady flow behavior of five different hazelnut pastes was studied and compared. Among the three steady shear geometries tried; cone and plate, plate and plate and concentric cylinder, the concentric cylinder was found to produce the most consistent data. Generated data were used to test the applicability of possible rheological models. Power Law Model could correlate the data very successfully. Yield stress values determined were quite low and application of Herschel-Bulkley Model did not improve the correlation significantly. The temperature dependency of the flow behavior was also studied obtaining data at four different temperatures. Correlations for temperature dependency were incorporated into the rheological model equations and these models were used to estimate pumping power requirements for pipe flow.

Abstract:	The vibrational dynamics of transfer RNAs, both free, and complexed with the cognate synthetase, are analyzed using a model (Gaussian network model) which recently proved to satisfactorily describe the collective motions of folded proteins. The approach is similar to a normal mode analysis, with the major simplification that no residue specificity is taken into consideration, which permits us (i) to cast the problem into an analytical form applicable to biomolecular systems including about 10(3) residues, and (ii) to acquire information on the essential dynamics of such large systems within computational times at least two orders of magnitude shorter than conventional simulations. On a local scale, the fluctuations calculated for yeast tRNA(Phe) and tRNA(Asp) in the free state, and for tRNA(Gln) complexed with glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) are in good agreement with the corresponding crystallographic B factors. On a global scale, a hinge-bending region comprising nucleotides US to C12 in the D arm, G20 to G22 in the D loop, and m(7)G46 to C48 in the variable loop (for tRNA(Phe)), is identified in the free tRNA, conforming with previous observations. The two regions subject to the largest amplitude anticorrelated fluctuations in the free form, i.e. the anticodon region and the acceptor arm are, at the same time, the regions that experience the most severe suppression in their flexibilities upon binding to synthetase, suggesting that their sampling of the conformational space facilitates their recognition by the synthetase. Likewise, examination of the global mode of motion of GlnRS in the complex indicates that residues 40 to 45, 260 to 270, 306 to 314, 320 to 327 and 478 to 485, all of which cluster near the ATP binding site, form a hinge-bending region controlling the cooperative motion, and thereby the catalytic function, of the enzyme. The distal beta-barrel and the tRNA acceptor binding domain, on the other hand, are distinguished by their high mobilities in the global modes of motion, a feature typical of recognition sites, also observed for other proteins. Most of the conserved bases and residues of tRNA and GlnRS are severely constrained in the global motions of the molecules, suggesting their having a role in stabilizing and modulating the global motion.

Abstract:	Complete sets of low-resolution conformations are generated for eight small proteins by rotating the C-alpha-C-alpha virtual bonds at selected flexible regions, while the remaining structural elements are assumed to move in rigid blocks. Several filtering criteria are used to reduce the ensemble size and to ensure the sampling of well-constructed conformations. These filters, based on structure and energy constraints deduced from knowledge-based studies, include the excluded volume requirement, the radius of gyration constraint, and the occurrence of sufficiently strong attractive inter-residue potentials to stabilize compact forms. About 8,000 well-constructed decoys or "probable folds" (PFs) are constructed for each protein. A correlation between root-mean-square (rms) deviations from X-ray structure and total energies is observed, revealing a decrease in energy as the rms deviation decreases, The conformation with the lowest energy exhibits an rms deviation smaller than 3.0 Angstrom in most of the proteins considered. The results are highly sensitive to the choice of flexible regions, A strong tendency to assume native state rotational angles is revealed for some flexible bonds from the analysis of the distributions of dihedral angles in the PFs, suggesting the formation of foldons near these locally stable regions at early folding pathway.

Abstract:	Anatolia, because of its geographic position and its use as an area of settlement, was also a land of transit that accommodated a succession of populations. The last important invasion occurred in the Middle Ages with the arrival of the Turks, an Altaic-speaking nomadic population descended from the Oguz tribes and originating in Mongolia. Although the Turks imposed their culture, their genetic contribution seems to have been modest. To validate this hypothesis, we studied the genetic structure of the Turkish population by examining 15 genetic markers in a sample of 93 subjects. The allele frequencies observed were HP1 = 0.240; GLO11 = 0.344, ESD2 = 0.134, GC1S = 0.613, GC1F = 0.129, PGM12S = 0.322, PGM12F = 0.041, PGM11F = 0.027, F13B1 = 0.762, F13B2 = 0.101, ORM1S = 0.327, AHSG2 = 0.181, C6B = 0.239, C71 = 0.983, APOC21 = 1.0, APOE3 = 0.868, APOE2 = 0.063, BFF = 0.258, BFS07 = 0.017, BFSQ0 = 0.011, C4AQ0 = 0.145, C4A2 = 0.070, C4A5 = 0.012, C4A6 = 0.023, C4BQ0 = 0.101, C4B2 = 0.048, C4B3 = 0.005, and C4B11 = 0.005. The present Turkish population was compared to other European, Middle Eastern, and North African populations by means of correspondence analysis. Turks cluster with Turkomans, who share the ancient Turks' derivation from the Oguz tribe. Moreover, Turks clearly belong to European groups and resemble the populations of neighboring countries. Therefore the present data support the hypothesis that the ancient Turkish tribes, who started to enter Anatolia 1000 years ago, contributed little to the gene pool of the preexisting Anatolian populations. Alternatively, if the genetic structure of the invading Turks resembled that of the ancient Anatolians, it will be impossible to find traces of their admixture with the autochthonous inhabitants of Anatolia. However, further analysis of other samples from Turkey and from populations living in the homelands of the Turkish tribes, namely, the eastern area of the Caspian Sea and Mongolia, is needed.

Abstract:	Induction parameters including inducer concentration; period of induction and the cell concentration at which inducer is to be added to the fermentation broth were optimized in order to increase the yield of the EcoRI restriction endonuclease isolated from recombinant E. coli. Bacterial cells harboring the plasmid pPG430 containing EcoRI endonuclease and the methylase genes under the control of lac promoter were used in the experiments where induction was accomplished by using lactose isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). An IPTG concentration of 0.1 mM, the late exponential phase of growth (at an optical density of 1.2 at 595 nm) and an induction period of 6 hours were determined to be the optimum conditions for induction.

Abstract:	The effect of La and Ba additives on the thermal stabilization of gamma-Al2O3 was investigated through total-surface-area measurements. The parameters considered were additive content, calcination temperature, and calcination period. The effect of precalcination was also studied. It was found that thermal stabilization caused by 3 wt% La and Ba is superior to 6 wt% La or Ba, and the positive effect of 3 wt% La and 3 wt% Ba are almost identical. The nearly threefold increase in the total surface area of 3 wt% La or Ba doped samples calcined above the gamma - alpha phase-transition temperature indicates that the aluminate complexes formed with La or Ba during phase transition impart thermal resistance to sintering. Aluminate formation at these temperatures is verified by XRD measurements. Precalcination at 723 K stabilizes the gamma-Al2O3 structure, leading to higher surface areas in the undoped sample upon sintering.

Abstract:	The production of ethanol from starch has been investigated in three genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (YPG/AB, YPG/MM, and YPB-G). Two of the three strains produce the Aspergillus awamori glucoamylase together with either the Bacillus subtilis (YPG/AB) or the mouse (YPG/MM) alpha-amylase as separately secreted polypeptides. YPB-G, on the other hand, secretes a bifunctional fusion, protein that contains both the B. subtilis alpha-amylase and the A. awamori glucoamylase activities. Substrate utilization, biomass growth, and ethanol production were all studied in both starch- and glucose-containing media. Much higher growth rates were found when any of the three strains were grown on glucose. YPG/AB showed the most efficient utilization of starch for ethanol production with the lowest levels of reducing sugars accumulating in the medium. The superior performance of YPG/AB as compared to YPB-G was found to correlate with its higher level of alpha-amylase activity. The ethanol production levels of YPG/AB in starch- and glucose-containing media were found to be comparable. YPB-G, which secretes the bifunctional fusion protein, could produce ethanol in media with starch concentrations above 100 g l(-1) while YPG/M(M) over dot did not produce ethanol from starch because of its negligible secretion of glucoamylase.

Abstract:	The effect of K promotion on the CO hydrogenation activity and C-2-C-4 hydrocarbons selectivity of the 15 wt % Ni-10 wt % Mo/Al2O3 catalyst was investigated in the 498-548 K range using unpromoted and 1-3 wt % K-promoted samples. CO2 methanation tests at 523 K were used as a probe to confirm activity trends. Intrinsic kinetic data were obtained in the initial rate region on both unpromoted and 1 wt % K-promoted Ni-Mo catalysts. K promotion of the bimetallic Ni-Mo catalyst decreases both the activity and the specific activity of the Ni sites while increasing the C-2-C-3 olefin-to-paraffin ratio. The surface carbide mechanism with dissociative adsorption of hydrogen as the rate-limiting step gives the most plausible kinetic model among the models tested for both Ni-Mo and Ni-Mo-K catalysts.

Abstract:	Most studies of coil-to-globule transitions of macromolecules have dealt exclusively with the standard polystyrene-cyclohexane system. In this work we aim to extend such investigations to halogenated polystyrenes, namely poly(4-chlorostyrene)(PPCS), poly(2-chlorostyrene)(POCS) and poly(chlorostyrene)(PCS),a mixture of 2- and 4-isomers. Changes in R-h Of these polymers with temperature in their respective theta solvents were investigated by dynamic light scattering. The hydrodynamic size of PPCS in a-propyl benzene(M-W: 2.25 x 10(6) g mol(-1), M-W/M-n 1.16) decreases to 75% of that in the unperturbed state at 22.2 degrees C. POCS (M-W: 10.32 x 10(6) and M-W: 4.30 X 10(6), M-W/M-n: 1.10) in 2-butanone exhibited LCST behaviour and a Limited chain collapse was observed with increasing temperature above theta point. The parameters alpha(h) = R-h/R-h(theta) for POCS with two different molecular weights, (10.32 M and 4.30 M) were found to be 0.67 and 0.77, respectively at 37.0 degrees C. A smooth and continuous contraction was also observed for the mixture of 2- and 4-isomers, PCS (M-W: 2.32 x 10(6) g mol(-1), M-W/M-n: 1.06). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:	In this work, conventional (fixed model) dynamic matrix control (DMC), and adaptive (variable model) DMC which combines on-line parameter estimation via a recursive least squares algorithm and control are carried out on a nonlinear, unstable process. The controlled process has multiple steady states one of which is unstable. The control around the unstable point using DMC is done in a cascade arrangement. In the inner loop the unstable process is stabilized with an analog proportional only controller. This stabilized process is then controlled by the outer loop DMC. With this configuration stable control is achieved with the conventional DMC; whereas the stability and the performance of the system with the adaptive DMC is found to be dependent on the controller parameters.

Abstract:	A coarse-grained dynamic Monte Carlo method is proposed for investigating the conformational dynamics of proteins, Each residue is represented by two interaction sites, one at the alpha-carbon, and the other on the amino acid sidechain, Geometry and energy parameters extracted from databank structures are used, The method is applied to the crystal structure of apomyoglobin (apo-Mb). Equilibrium and dynamic properties of ape-Mb are characterized within computation times one order of magnitude shorter than conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The calculated rms fluctuations in alpha-carbons are in good agreement with crystallographic temperature factors. Regions exhibiting enhanced conformational mobilities are identified. Among the loops connecting the eight helices A to H, the loop CD undergoes the fastest motions, leading to partial unwinding of helix D. Helix G is the most stable helix on the basis of the kinetic stability of dihedral angles, followed by the respective helices A, E, H, and B. These results, in agreement with H/D exchange and two-dimensional NMR experiments, as well as with MD simulations, lend support to the use of the proposed approach as an efficient, yet physically plausible, means of characterizing protein conformational dynamics.

Abstract:	Swelling behavior of polyacrylamide (PAAm) and polyacrylamide-co-polyacrylic acid (PAAm-co-PAAc) gels was investigated in aqueous solutions of monodisperse PAAms with molecular weights ((M) over bar(w)) ranging from 1.5 x 10(3) to 5 x 10(6) g/mol. The volume of the gels decreases as the PAAm concentration in the external solution increases. This decrease becomes more pronounced as the molecular weight of PAAm increases. The classical Flory-Huggins (FH) theory correctly predicts the swelling behavior of nonionic PAAm gels in PAAm solutions. The polymer-polymer interaction parameter chi(23) was found to decrease as the molecular weight of PAAm increases. The swelling behavior of PAAm-co-PAAc gels in PAAm solutions deviates from the predictions of the FH theory. This is probably due to the change of the ionization degree of AAc units depending on the polymer concentration in the external solution. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract:	A high coordination lattice model was recently introduced for simulating coarse-grained rotational isomeric state (RIS) chains in which the bonds have symmetric torsional potential energy functions, E(phi) = E(-phi). This symmetry was exploited in the coarse-graining and mapping onto the high coordination lattice, thereby making the procedure unsuitable (without modification) for application to chains where one or more bonds has an asymmetric torsion potential energy function, E(phi) not equal E(-phi). The necessary modification is described here, and then documented by mapping previously described RIS models for isotactic and syndiotactic polypropylene onto the high coordination lattice. Each bead on the high coordination lattice represents a monomer unit, C3H6, of polypropylene. The conditional probabilities derived from the RIS model form the basis for the acceptance of the single bead moves used in the Monte Carlo simulations on the 2nnd lattice. The simulated chains have reasonable mean-square end-to-end distances and mean-square radii of gyration. The relaxation of the end-to-end vector follows the stretched exponential behavior, exp[-(t/tau)beta], where beta=0.5 and tau is the correlation time. The elaboration retains the ability to correctly treat chains in which the bonds have symmetric torsional potential energy functions, as shown by application to polyethylene, where each bead on the high coordination lattice represents C2H4.

Abstract:	Macromonomeric azo initiator containing biodegradable poly(epsilon-caprolactone, (PCL) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of PCL with 4,4'-azobis(4-cyanopentanoyl chloride) and methacryloyl chloride. This macromonomeric azo initiator (MIM-PCL) was further used in the polymerization of styrene (St) or methylmethacrylate (MMA) via a radical initiated process at 60 degrees C in bulk in order to obtain polystyrene (PS)-b-PCL or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-b-PCL crosslinked block copolymers. Thermal decomposition kinetics of MIM-PCL and its copolymers were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC traces of MIM-PCL showed two different exotherms, at 98 and 127 degrees C, The first exotherm, observed at 98 degrees C, was due to the polymerization of the terminal methacrylic groups; the other was due to the exothermic decomposition of azo groups of MIM-PCL. PCL-b-PS and PCL-b-PMMA crosslinked block copolymers showed single glass transition temperatures due to the compatibility of the crosslinked block segments. The polymer-solvent interaction parameter of PCL in chloroform was determined by vapor pressure osmometry to be 0.1 for the PCL-chloroform system at 30 degrees C. The average molecular weights between junction points of crosslinked homo PCL were calculated by using the Flory-Rehner equation. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract:	A series of alumina supported Ni, Mo and Ni-Mo catalysts were prepared for investigating the interaction between Ni and Mo in terms of their structural properties and catalytic activities. The catalysts containing 0-15 wt% Ni and/or Mo were prepared by impregnation or coimpregnation and were tested for BET surface area and total pore volume. CO chemisorption was used for metal surface area measurements. The catalytic activities of the samples were tested by CO2 methanation. Selected Ni/Al2O3 and Ni-Mo/Al2O3 catalysts with Ni and Mo loadings in the 5-15 wt% range were also examined by TEM and SEM-EDX, The results show that Mo changes the structural properties and the methanation activities of the catalysts. TEM and SEM-EDX studies support the synergetic interaction between Ni sites and MoOx species and show that the nature of the Ni-Mo interaction changes with the level of Ni and Mo loading. At low Mo loadings, Mo species act as a diluent of the matrix, promoting Ni particle distribution. At higher Mo loadings, partial coverage of the nickel particles is observed especially on catalysts with high total metal loading. SEM backscattered composition images indicate the presence of molybdenum in the oxide form which means that the active sites are the nickel crystallites. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:	A series of alumina supported Ni, Mo and Ni-Mo catalysts prepared by impregnation or coimpregnation were tested to investigate the effects of Ni-Mo interaction on their structural properties and activity/selectivity characteristics in CO hydrogenation. The Ni and Mo contents of the catalysts were varied between 0-15 wt% according to a factorial experimental design. The results of CO hydrogenation tests reveal that the specific activity of the active sites changes with Mo loading, Ni:Mo molar ratio and total metal loading. Introducing Mo as the second metal increases the total hydrocarbon production as well as the C-2-C-4 hydrocarbons selectivity in the 498-573 K temperature range. Lower H-2/CO molar ratios increase C-2-C-4 selectivity, and this effect is enhanced with Mo addition especially to samples with higher Ni loading. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:	Background: A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique based on the incorporation of digoxigenin (DIG), and visualization of the labeled fragments for the detection of deletion carriers in Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy families has been developed. Methods and Results: Sixty-five DNA samples taken from mothers and/or sisters of familial and sporadic deletion patients were investigated in the exponential phase of amplification. All obligate carriers were correctly identified using this technique. In more than 95% of deletion families. possible carriers could be screened by using four different multiplex systems specifically designed to increase the efficiency of the detection. Deletions were found to be present in 42% of possible carriers. All these results were confirmed by computer-assisted laser densitometry. Conclusion: Dosage analysis by DIG-labeled quantitative PCR is a reliable and accurate technique for detecting Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy deletion carriers.

Abstract:	In order to determine the spectrum of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations In the Turkish population, a complete coding region of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene including exon-intron boundaries, on 122 unrelated CF chromosomes from 73 Turkish CF families was analysed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and multiplex heteroduplex analysis on MDE gel matrix. in addition to 15 previously reported mutations and 12 polymorphisms, three novel mutations, namely 3172delAC, P1013L and M1028I, were detected. Delta F508 was found to be present on 18.8% of CF chromosomes. The second most common mutation was 1677delTA, with a frequency of 7.3%, followed by G542X and 2183AA-->G mutations, with frequencies of 4.9%. These four most common mutations in Turkish CF population account for approximately 36% of mutations. This study could only detect 52.5% of disease-causing mutations in this population; 47.5% of CF alleles remain to be identified, reflecting the high molecular heterogeneity of the Turkish population.

Abstract:	Dielectric constant and loss have been measured at low and high frequencies for several poly(1-olefin sulfones) as well as for the polysulfones of allybenzene and allyl cyclopentane. The low-frequency dispersion in allylbenzene due to helical sequences is weaker in benzene than in dioxane, and in both solvents is much lower than for the l-olefin polymers. Solvent effects on the high frequency process are also reported, but yield no simple uniform picture.

Abstract:	Recently, we developed a simple analytical model based on local residue packing densities and the distribution of tertiary contacts for describing the conformational fluctuations of proteins in their folded state. This so-called Gaussian network model (GNM) is applied here to the interpretation of experimental hydrogen exchange (HX) behavior of proteins in their native state or under weakly denaturing conditions. Calculations are performed for five proteins: bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, cytochrome c, plastocyanin, staphylococcal nuclease, and ribonuclease H. The results are significant in two respects, First, a good agreement is reached between calculated fluctuations and experimental measurements of HX despite the simplicity of the model and within computational times 2 or 3 orders of magnitude faster than earlier, more complex simulations. Second, the success of a theory, based on the coupled conformational fluctuations of residues near the native state, to satisfactorily describe the native-state HX behavior indicates the significant contribution of local, but cooperative, fluctuations to protein conformational dynamics. The correlation between the HX data and the unfolding kinetics of individual residues further suggests that local conformational susceptibilities as revealed by the GNM approach may have implications relevant to the global dynamics of proteins.

Abstract:	Crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) gels with different crosslink densities in the form of rods and beads were prepared by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization. Solution and inverse suspension polymerization techniques were used for the gel synthesis. The gels were utilized to concentrate dilute aqueous solutions of penicillin G acylase (PGA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The discontinuous volume transition at 34 degrees C observed in the gel swelling was used as the basis of concentrating dilute aqueous protein solutions. PNIPA gels formed below 18 degrees C were homogeneous, whereas those formed at higher temperatures exhibited heterogeneous structures. The water absorption capacity of PNIPA gels in the form of beads was much higher, and their rate of swelling was much faster than the rod-shaped PNIPA gels. It was also found that the polymerization techniques used significantly affect the properties of PNIPA gels. The separation efficiency decreased when the protein molecules PGA or BSA in the external solution were replaced with small-molecular-weight compounds, such as 6-APA. The protein separation efficiency by the gel beads increased to 100% after coating the bead surfaces with BSA. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract:	A novel hybrid symbolic-connectionist approach to machine learning is introduced and applied to fault diagnosis of a hydrocarbon chlorination plant. The learning algorithm addresses the knowledge acquisition problem by developing and maintaining the knowledge base through instance based inductive learning. The performance of the learning system is discussed in terms of the knowledge extracted from example cases and its classification accuracy on the test cases. Results indicate that the introduced system is a promising alternative to neural networks for fault diagnosis and a complement to expert systems. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract:	A group of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts having metal contents in the 0-16.5 wt% range were prepared using coprecipitation and impregnation methods. The catalysts were reduced under the same conditions; the reaction conditions were also fixed in similar sets of experiments for better comparison, Total surface area, total pore volume, metal surface area, and both the CO hydrogenation and CO2 methanation activities of the catalysts were studied in order to compare the effect of preparation method on structural properties as well as on catalyst activity and selectivity. A comparison of CO hydrogenation results on catalysts with similar nickel loadings indicates that coprecipitated catalysts have higher productivity and C-2-C-4 hydrocarbon selectivity, whereas impregnated catalysts yield better olefin/paraffin ratios for the C-2-C-3 hydrocarbons. In CO2 methanation, coprecipitated catalysts show higher methanation activity and lower CO production level per methane produced for all nickel loadings investigated. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:	The kinetics of CO hydrogenation over coprecipitated 36 wt% Co/Al2O3 was studied in a fixed-bed microreactor at atmospheric pressure. Intrinsic kinetic data were obtained in the initial rate region using four different CO concentrations and two different H-2/CO ratios over the 473-523 K temperature range. The surface carbide mechanism. with dissociative adsorption of hydrogen as the rate controlling step gives the most plausible kinetic model among the eight different models tested. C-1-C-4 production rates are found to be strongly influenced by temperature, and optimum C-1-C-4 hydrocarbon selectivity is obtained at 508 K. The activation energy for CO consumption and CH4 formation are calculated as 74 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1) and 84 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1) respectively.

Abstract:	Addition of a small amount of ethylene glycol oligomers (OEG), with the number of repeat units y = 2-4, in an aqueous solution leads to the contraction of both linear and cross-linked poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) chains. The results present clear evidence for the screening Effect of OEG on the ionic groups of the polymer chains. Measurements indicate that the pre-swollen poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) gels immersed in aqueous OEG solutions are at equilibrium. However, as the molecular weight of OEG increases, these gels cannot attain their equilibrium swelling ratio due to the appearance of non-equilibrium structures. The stability of these structures increases as the initial swelling degree of the gels increases. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract:	A statistical analysis of known structures is made for an assessment of the utility of short-range energy considerations. For each type of amino acid, the potentials governing (1) the torsions and bond angle changes of virtual C-alpha-C-alpha bonds and (2) the coupling between torsion and bond angle changes are derived. These contribute approximately -2 RT per residue to the stability of native proteins, approximately half of which is due to coupling effects. The torsional potentials for the alpha-helical states of different residues are verified to be strongly correlated with the free-energy change measurements made upon single-site mutations at solvent-exposed regions, Likewise, a satisfactory correlation is shown between the beta-sheet potentials of different amino acids and the scales from free-energy measurements, despite the role of tertiary context in stabilizing beta-sheets. Furthermore, there is excellent agreement between our residue-specific potentials for alpha-helical state and other thermodynamic based scales. Threading experiments performed by using an inverse folding protocol show that 50 of 62 test structures correctly recognize their native sequence on the basis of short-range potentials. The performance is improved to 55, upon simultaneous consideration of short-range potentials and the nonbonded interaction potentials between sequentially distant residues, Interactions between near residues along the primary structure, i.e., the local or short-range interactions, are known to be insufficient, alone, for understanding the tertiary structural preferences of proteins alone. Yet, knowledge of short-range conformational potentials permits rationalizing the secondary structure propensities and aids in the discrimination between correct and incorrect tertiary folds.

Abstract:	Miscibility, thermal, mechanical, gas permeation, morphological and surface properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) blends containing 1-10% triblock polycaprolactone-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-polycaprolactone (PCL-PDMS-PCL) copolymer were investigated by using several techniques. Fourier transform infra-red analysis of blends reveal the existence of specific interactions via hydrogen bonding between the alpha-hydrogen of PVC and the carbonyl group of PCL in the triblock copolymer. This PCL-PDMS-PCL/PVC blend system exhibited a single glass transition according to differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis results. Stress-strain results showed that PCL-PDMS-PCL triblock copolymer is a very effective plasticizer for PVC. Gas permeability of the blends increased with the copolymer content. Morphological and surface properties of the blend system were examined by scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract:	The surface composition and free energy properties of two grades of amphiphilic and semicrystalline triblock copolymers consisting of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) midblock (M-w similar to 2300) coupled to poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) end blocks having differing molecular weights (M-w similar to 2000, sample P3, and M-w similar to 3000, sample P2) and homopolymer PCL (M-w similar to 40 000) were investigated by Fourier transform infrared, spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and contact angle measurements using critical surface tension, one-liquid and two-liquid methods. ESCA showed that the molar concentration of PDMS increased from 36.5% in the bulk up to 70.2% in the surface for sample P2 and from 46.3% in the bulk up to 79.2% in the surface for sample P3 in high vacuum. This indicates that the lower surface energy PDMS microdomains were segregated in the surface region to minimize the surface energy of the copolymer. The longer the PCL block, the higher the phase separation. One-liquid contact angle results were evaluated by using van Oss, Good, and Chaudhury's Lifshitz-van der Waals and Lewis acid-base (AB) methodology, and it was determined that the basicity surface tension coefficients (gamma(s)(-)) of the copolymers decreased with the increase of the PDMS content at the surface, a result in agreement with the ESCA results but not proportional to them, indicating that the surfaces of the copolymers are highly mobile and molecular rearrangement takes place upon contacting with a polar testing liquid drop. The strong AB interaction between the basic carboxyl groups of PCL segments with the Lewis acidic groups of the polar liquids restructured the surface molecular composition at the contact area by increasing PCL and decreasing PDMS concentration in polar environments. The two-liquid contact angle method was also applied, and it was determined that gamma(s)(-) decreased inverse proportionally with the increase of PDMS segments. Also, it was realized that the molecular restructuring did not take place in the two-liquid method.

Abstract:	Cooperative kinematics (CK) theory and its recent applications are presented. CK theory has been developed as an efficient approach for predicting the mechanism of segmental relaxation processes in bulk polymers. The theory aims at determining the most probable changes in atomic coordinates, occurring collectively in response to a given, external or localized, structural perturbation. The basic postulate is the minimization of the energy change involved in the overall conformational motion, which naturally yields the optimal pathway of cooperative relaxation. Attention has been confined here to the collective motions accompanying the rotational transitions of backbone bonds in polyethylene (PE) and polybutadiene (PB). The strong dependence of the mechanism of motions on the geometry of the repeat unit and on chain connectivity is emphasized. The differences in the types of correlated transitions operating in different structures, the effective conformational energy changes triggered by bond rotational jumps, and the correlation lengths for particular bond isomerizations are analyzed. The reorientations of C-H bond vectors in cis- and trans-PB are also examined to explain the shorter correlation time of cia units, compared to trans, detected by NMR. A good agreement between various CK predictions and results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is obtained. The fact that CK calculations are at least two orders of magnitude faster than MD simulations invites attention to the utility of the CK method as an efficient tool for elucidating the pathway of motion in complex systems.

Abstract:	The adsorption of proteins to ion exchangers was investigated by finite bath experiments and by computer simulations using existing rate models. Experimental data were obtained for the binding of bovine serum albumin at different feed concentrations to both cation and anion exchangers. The results were interpreted together with model predictions and the values of the parameters characterizing the mass transfer mechanisms as well as the interaction rates of the adsorbate-adsorbent complex were estimated. The best agreement between theory and experiment throughout the whole period of adsorption process was obtained with a complex model where several steps of the overall mechanism were simultaneously controlling the overall rate. The simplified models, which offer rapid solution requiring less computational power, can be used at low feed concentrations of the proteins where the mechanisms controlling the adsorption rate are less complex. As the interaction rate mechanism and the intraparticle mass transfer mechanism in the adsorbent particles are the same in both finite bath and column adsorption systems, the information presented in this paper can be used to predict the protein adsorption in a column chromatography system.

Abstract:	Studies have been conducted on the effect of preparation variables on the activity of coprecipitated cobalt-alumina catalysts to be used for the production of C-1-C-4 hydrocarbons by CO hydrogenation. The preparation parameters considered were the precipitation pH, the precipitation agent, the metal loading, the reduction temperature and the reduction period. It was found that changing pH precipitation with a constant final pH between 11.0 and 12.5 and the use of NaOH together with nitrates as precursors yielded better catalysts with maximal metal surface area. The optimum cobalt loading for the selective production of C-1-C-4 hydrocarbons is around 35 wt%. Optimum activity and selectivity are obtained by applying an 8-h reduction scheme at 648 K under 100 cm(3) min(-1) hydrogen. Calcination prior to reduction has a detrimental effect on metal surface area and hence on catalytic activity.

Abstract:	The parental origin and mechanism of formation of polysomy X were studied in two polysomic cases, using four X-linked restriction fragment length polymorphisms, three (CA), dinucleotide repeat sequences and one variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) locus as genetic markers. A nonradioactive technique based on the hybridization of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was developed for the analysis of dinucleotide repeats. Segregation analysis using different nonradioactive approaches based on the PCR, revealed that all four X chromosomes were of maternal origin. These data provide additional evidence of an identical mechanism of successive nondisjunctions in maternal meiosis I and II.

Abstract:	A method for optimal retrofit design of heat-exchanger networks that do not posses control variables in their original structures, is presented. Bypasses, as control variables, are placed in order to satisfy hard/soft target-temperature constraint specifications with minimum increase in exchanger areas. Alternative bypass-placement configurations are compared in terms of static flexibility, cost of retrofit design, and resiliency (Morari Resiliency Index). Pairings among the bypasses and controlled target temperatures are selected for the most favorable configuration according to Relative Gain Array criterion. Final control configuration is tested under centralized and decentralized feedback control schemes. Centralized scheme satisfies hard and soft target-temperature constraints and provides smooth response.

Author Keywords:	batch operations; integer programming; production planning; short term scheduling
Abstract:	In this work, the mathematical programming model for optimal scheduling of the operations of a batch processing chemical plant, capable to handle all possible deterministic and many stochastic variations in the set-up and operation times of the batch operations developed previously (Orcun et al., 1996, 1995, and 1994) is applied to operations in a plant of a leading Turkish paint manufacturer. The plant focused on in this work is a multi-product, batch processing plant having a wide variety of products, competing for various process equipment on a production site. The plant under consideration operates with respect to an ''order based'' production policy. Thus, this application can be classified as a short term scheduling of a real case multi-product batch processing plant. The MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) formulation generated as a result of the general modeling framework developed, is solved using the CPLEX 3.0 to obtain schedules maximizing the net operational plant profit under varying market conditions. Moreover, the analysis of the schedules obtained from the solution of the problems formulated yielded some information on the performance, utilization and organization of the production site.

Abstract:	Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out with four polypeptides, Ala(13), Val(13), Ser(13), and Ala(4)Gly(5)Ala(,) in vacuo and with explicit hydration, The unfolding of the polypeptides, which are initially fully alpha-helix in conformation, has been monitored during trajectories of 0.3 ns at 350 K, A rank of Ala < Val < Ser < Gly is found in the order of increasing rate of unwinding, The unfolding of Ala(13) and Val(13) is completed in hundreds of picoseconds, while that of Ser(13) is about one order of magnitude faster, The helix content of the peptide containing glycine residues falls to zero within a few picoseconds, Ramachandran plots indicate quite distinct equilibrium distributions and time evolution of dihedral angles in water and in vacuum for each residue type. The unfolding of polyalanine and polyvaline helices is accelerated due to solvation, In contrast, polyserine is more stable in water compared to vacuum, because its side chains can form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the backbone more readily in vacuum, which disrupts the helix. Distribution functions of the spatial and angular position of water molecules in the proximity of the polypeptide backbone polar groups reveal the stabilization of the coiled structures by hydration. The transition from helix to coil is characterized by the appearance of a new peak in the probability distribution at a specific location characteristic of hydrogen bond formation between water and backbone polar groups. No significant insertion of water molecules is observed at the precise onset of unwinding, while (i, i+3) hydrogen bond formation is frequently detected at the initiation of alpha-helix unwinding.

Abstract:	Conformational dynamics of triblock copolymers end-adsorbed onto a surface from a nonselective solvent have been studied by a Monte Carlo lattice simulation technique. The triblock copolymers are A(NA)B(NB)A(NA) With N-A = 10 and N-B = 5, 10, 20 and 40, at surface interaction parameters epsilon = -0.5 and -1.0. A is the adsorbing block and B is the nonadsorbing block. The number of chains in the periodic box is varied over the range 100 less than or equal to n less than or equal to 500. The triblock copolymer can exist in three states: loop (L), tail (T) and free (F) chain. Fractions of those conformations at different system parameters (n, N-B and epsilon) and the associated lifetimes are calculated from the simulations. A kinetic scheme is constructed and the corresponding transition rate matrix is used in the master formalism equation, the solution of which yields the dynamic modes of the system. A correlation function is defined to produce a single overall view of the rate of transitions between different conformational states. The degree of surface interaction has strong influence on the rate of transitions between the states, in particular, longer average lifetimes and a wider distribution of lifetimes of the loop conformation contribute to the slower decay of the correlation curves. At high surface adsorption, larger N-B decrease the rate of all transitions at all values of a. A weak dependence on n is observed for all sizes of N-B at both surface energies.

Abstract:	A new macromonomeric initiator (macroinimer) was synthesized and evaluated for the bulk polymerization of styrene at 60 and 80 degrees C. The macroinimer containing poly(dimethylsiloxane), PDMS, was synthesized via condensation reactions between 4,-4'-azobis-4-cyanopentanoyl chloride (ACPC), PDMS and methacryloyl chloride. The product (MIM I) was thermally homopolymerized and copolymerized with styrene in bulk. Kinetics of radical polymerization of styrene with MIM I at 60 degrees C and at low conversion was studied. Rate constant K, k(p)(fk(d)/k(1))(1/2), was estimated from kinetic data as 1.15 x 10(-4) 1(1/2) mol(-1/2) s. Bulk polymerization of styrene with macroinimers at 80 degrees C gave crosslinked block copolymers. D.s.c. measurements showed that crosslinked block copolymers had a glass transition temperature around 45 degrees C. This is evidence of a plasticizing effect of flexible polysiloxane segments in copolymers. Crosslinked PDMS-b-PS block copolymers obtained using macroinimers may be an interesting group of thermoplastic elastomers. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

As the proportion of ionizable groups increases, or, as the molecular weight of PEG decreases, the critical concentration of PEG required for a discontinuous volume collapse rises. The distribution of PEG inside and outside the gel phase changes with gel volume; it also exhibits a discontinuous change at the phase transition. Flory-Huggins theory gives a qualitative description of the phenomenon. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Limited.

Abstract:	Residue-specific potentials between pairs of side-chains and pairs of sidechain-backbone interaction sites have been generated by collecting radial distribution data for 302 protein structures. Multiple atomic interactions have been utilized to enhance the specificity and smooth the distance-dependence of the potentials. The potentials are demonstrated to successfully discriminate correct sequences in inverse folding experiments. Many specific effects are observable in the non-bonded potentials; grouping of residue types is inappropriate, since each residue type manifests some unique behavior. Only a weak dependence is seen on protein size and composition. Effective contact potentials operating in three different environments (self, solvent-exposed and residue-exposed) and over any distance range are presented. The effective contact potentials obtained from the integration of radial distributions over the distance interval r less than or equal to 6.4 Angstrom are in excellent agreement with published values. The hydrophobic interactions are verified to be dominantly strong in this range. Comparison of these with a newly derived set of effective contact potentials for closer inter-residue separations (r less than or equal to 4.0 Angstrom) demonstrates drastic changes in the most favorable interactions. In the closer approach case, where the number of pairs with a given residue is approximately one, the highly specific interactions between charged and polar side-chains predominate. These closer approach values could be utilized to select successively the relative positions and directions of residue side-chains in protein simulations, following a hierarchical algorithm optimizing side-chain-side-chain interactions over the two successively closer distance ranges. The homogeneous contribution to stability is stronger than the specific contribution by about a factor of 5. Overall, the total non-bonded interaction energy calculated for individual proteins follows a dependence on the number of residues of the form of n(1.28), indicating an enhanced stability for larger proteins.

Abstract:	The adsorption of symmetric triblock copolymers from a nonselective solvent on an impenetrable surface has been studied by a lattice Monte Carlo simulation method. The triblock copolymers are A(NA)B(NB)A(NA) with N-A=10, 5 less than or equal to N-B less than or equal to 40, and surface interaction parameters -1.5 less than or equal to epsilon less than or equal to-0.5, where A is the adsorbing block and B is the nonadsorbing block. The concentration, expressed as the volume fraction, is varied over the range 0.012 less than or equal to c less than or equal to 0.143. This report describes the adsorption isotherms and the kinetics of the adsorption in;he simulations. At short times, the adsorption is diffusion controlled. Good approximations to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm are observed for the equilibrium adsorbed amount, Gamma and surface coverage of the adsorbing block, theta(A). The results are compared with recent simulations for diblock copolymers. The adsorbed amount is less for the diblock than for the triblock copolymers at low concentration. The surface coverage by the adsorbing block is the same for both cases at weak surface adsorption. The surface density profiles are also obtained and compared. The adsorbed number of chains per unit area (sigma) and surface coverage for triblock copolymers under: weak adsorption conditions are found, respectively, to scale according to the relationship sigma, theta(A) similar to 1/beta(2), where beta=(N-B/N-A)(3/5), which implies the importance of the nonadsorbing block size for the adsorption features of triblock copolymers. These results confirm the experimental observation reported recently by Dorgan et al. [Macromolecules 26, 5321 (1993)]. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract:	A comparative evaluation of existing rate-type constitutive equations is provided for a viscoelastic fluid undergoing accelerated flow. To this end, accurate point velocity and stress birefringence data previously obtained by laser Doppler anemometry and stress birefringence are utilized. For each constitutive equation, the numerical values of constants which yield the best fit with experimental data are determined via non-linear regression analysis. The best agreement between experimental and calculated normal stress differences is obtained with the White-Metzner equation. The success of this equation is attributed to the deformation rate dependence of its viscosity and time constant. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:	Spearmint oil (essential oil of Mentha spicata) was extracted from Turkish mint-plant leaves using supercritical CO2 in a basket-type extractor. Effects of temperature, pressure, extraction time, amount of CO2, and entrainer (ethanol) concentration on composition of essential-oil extracts and oil yield, relative to hydro-distillation, were investigated. Relative yields were as high as 80%. Monoterpenes fraction in extracts was inversely correlated with relative oil yields. Monoterpenes were preferentially extracted by CO2 due to their high vapor pressure, low molar mass and low polarity. Supercritical extraction presented advantages over the conventional hydro-distillation by yielding extracts lower in monoterpenes fraction and by enabling high yields at temperatures safe for the heat-sensitive essential oil.

Abstract:	Background: Two opposite Views have been advanced for the packing of sidechains in globular proteins. The first is the jigsaw puzzle model, in which the complementarity of size and shape is essential. The second, the nuts-and-bolts model, suggests that constraints induced by steric complementarity or pairwise specificity have little influence. Here, the angular distributions of sidechains around amino acids of different types are analyzed, in order to capture the preferred (if any) coordination loci in the neighborhood of a given type of amino acid. Results: Some residue pairs select specific coordination states with probabilities about ten times higher than expected for random distributions. This selectivity becomes more pronounced at closer separations leading to an effective free energy of stabilization as large as -2 RT for some sidechain pairs. A list of the most probable coordination sites around each residue type is presented, along with their statistical weights. Conclusions: These data provide guidance as to how to pack selectively the nonbonded sidechains in the neighborhood of a central residue for computer generation of unknown protein structures.

Abstract:	alpha,omega-Amine terminated organofunctional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was condensed with 4,4'-azobis-4-cyanopentanoyl chloride (ACPC) to prepare macroazoinitiators containing siloxane units. Interfacial polycondensation reaction at room temperature was applied: ACPC was slightly dissolved in carbon tetrachloride and it was poured on aqueous NaOH solution of PDMS. Block copolymers containing PDMS as a block segment combined with polystyrene (PS) have been derived by the polymerization of styrene monomer initiated by these macroazoinitiators. PS-b-PDMS block copolymers were characterized by using nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy. Thermal and mechanical properties of the block copolymers were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and a Tensilon stress-strain instrument. The morphology of block copolymers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. PDMS-g-polybutadiene (PBd) graft copolymers were also prepared by reaction of PBd with the above macroazoinitiator. Increase in the amount of macroazoinitiator in the mixture of PBd (52% w/w) leads to the formation of crosslinked graft copolymers. Molecular weights of soluble graft copolymer samples were between 450 and 600 K with a polydispersity of 2.0-2.3. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract:	A series of coprecipitated Ni/Al2O3 catalysts containing 0-25 wt.-% Ni were examined for total surface area, total pore volume, metal surface area, CO2 adsorption and CO2 methanation activity in order to study the relation between metal content, structure and catalyst activity. Coprecipitated Ni/Al2O3 catalysts are found to be efficient promoters for methanation. Methanation activity is dependent on the nickel content and the degree of CO2 adsorption at the reaction considered. Although Al2O3 does not exhibit methanation activity, it is found to be active for CO2 adsorption. Reverse spillover increases methane production per unit nickel surface particularly for catalysts with low Ni loadings.

Abstract:	Macromolecular chains obey purely Gaussian statistics close to the theta temperature. An asymptotic regime is also reached far above the theta point. Thermal blob theory permits an approximate calculation of thermal expansion factor. In this theory, an adjustable pa rameter is used as a prefactor (AN-1) in order to calculate the reduced blob parameter (Nl N-c). In this work, we proposed a different approach to evaluate (AN-1) by plotting tau M(omega)(1/2)/alpha(eta)(5) against tau M(omega)(1/2). Chain expansion data of poly(4-chlorostyrene) in various solvents is used to evaluate viscosity expansion factors at various temperatures. It seems that predictions of thermal blob theory provide a better fit to experimental points rather than those evaluations based on Flory-type approaches. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract:	The effects of temperature, pressure and supercritical fluid density on the solubility-retention relationship of solutes in supercritical fluid chromatography are investigated. New retention data for naphthalene, phenanthrene, benzoic acid and 2-methoxy-naphthalene is obtained as a function of pressure at different temperatures. The bulk of the data is taken near the critical region of the mobile gas where the anomalities are expected. This data is used to compare two approaches for thermodynamic modeling of pressure dependence of solute retention. In these approaches, mobile-phase partial molar volumes of the solutes are determined either from bulk solubility data or from infinite-dilution fugacity coefficients. In both approaches, an integrated from of retention pressure relation is utilized to explicitly reveal the nature of interactions between the stationary phase and the solute. The approach that utilizes infinite-dilution fugacity coefficient better predicts the pressure dependence of retention, especially for solutes that are substantially soluble near the critical point of the mobile phase. Relationships between pressure and temperature dependence of solubility and retention of solutes are also investigated.

The effect of metal loading on CO2 adsorption was investigated under isothermal chromatographic conditions using an elution technique in the temperature range 483-533 K. Average enthalpies of adsorption were determined using the isosteres obtained from the experimental adsorption isotherms. The isotherms were also fitted to the Langmuir equation for the evaluation of adsorption equilibrium coefficients, Gibbs free energies, average adsorption enthalpies and entropies.

Abstract:	A distributed-parameter model of multi-tube, single-pass heat exchangers are used to construct the dynamic model of a heat-exchanger network (HEN). Based on the control-vector parameterization technique, open-loop (time-dependent bypass manipulation) and closed-loop (target-temperature dependent bypass manipulation) centralized optimal-control schemes are developed and tested. The parameterizations are done in such a way that the manipulated variables approach and eventually match the values obtained from static optimization which refers to an algebraic model of the HEN. Manipulation of the bypasses linearly in time up to their optimal values results in a quite satisfactory dynamic response of the HEN and eliminates temporary violations of the target-temperature control-precision constraints.

Abstract:	Operability of an autothermal fixed-bed catalytic reactor within a Heat-Exchanger Network (HEN) is investigated. A retrofit HEN is designed by considering the critical temperature deviations that cause run-away behavior for the reactor. The flexible retrofit design is of minimum cost (area) and keeps both the hot-spot temperature (maximum temperature rise) in the reactor within a strict safety margin and the overall conversion within a strict feasibility margin against a set of possible disturbance directions. The flexible retrofit HEN enables creation of favorable disturbance-propagation paths via optimal manipulation of bypass-stream flow rates, and thus, increases the operability and controllability of the autothermal reactor within the HEN.

Abstract:	In this work, a mathematical programming model for optimal scheduling of the operations of a batch processing chemical plant is developed. The model is capable to handle all possible deterministic variations in the set-up and operation times of batch operations, and the model is sufficiently general to include the uncertainties introduced by the probabilistic behavior of set-up and operation times of batches when such variations can be mathematically defined. It is shown that the probabilistic model can be reduced to a Mixed Integer Non-Linear Program (MINLP), once the probability distribution functions used to model the random variations are defined. The resulting MINLP is then linearized and solved for small examples using CPLEX 3.0 in order to obtain a schedule which maximizes the net expected operational profit.

Abstract:	Implications of the partial molar volume of solute in the stationary-phase material in both superciritical partition chromatography and supercritical adsorption chromatography are discussed within the framework of a thermodynamic model of solute retention. Using experimental retention data and the thermodynamic model it is illustrated that, in supercritical partititon chromatography, relationships among solubility, sorption and retention are confounded by the effects (pressure dependence) of the partial molar volume of solute in the stationary-phase material and possible swelling of the stationary-phase material by the supercritical mobile-phase fluid. For the first time in the literature, a supercritical sorption isotherm is imbedded in the thermodynamic model of solute retention in order to simulate temperature, pressure and density dependence of solute retention in supercirical adsorption chromatography. Unlike the behavior predicted by the model of solute retention in supercritical partition chromatography, simulation of pressure dependence of solute retention in supercritical adsorption chromatograpy with the aid of supercritical sorption isotherm does not show a retention minimum, and the retention coefficient exhibits an asymptotic decrease to aero with increasing pressure as expected. It is demonstrated that in supercritical adsorption chromatograpy the direct inverse relationship present between the solute's solubility and sorption also exists between solubility (solvent power) and retention but as weighted by the molar volume of the mobile phase.

Abstract:	Two mathematical models: Cellular Permeable-Tube Arrays (CPTA) model and Serially-Interconnected Perfectly-Mixed Tanks (SI-PMTs) model were proposed in an attempt to explain the release mechanisms of extractable compounds from plant matrices during supercritical fluid extraction. Models enable phenomenological description of probable three-phase mass transfer taking place within plant cells. A complex chromatographic-type release is envisioned for the supercritical-fluid extraction of materials from plant matrices. A parametric sensitivity analysis is conducted on the SI-PMTs

Abstract:	Various UV-curable acrylated urethane prepolymers based on tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 400), and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were synthesized. The effects of reactive diluent types, the composition of the products and of different humidity conditions on mechanical properties of cured films were investigated. Effects of diethylene glycol diacrylate (DEGDA) and thiodiethylene glycol diacrylate (TDGDA) as reactive diluents on tensile strength, elongation and Young's modulus values of the UV cured films were examined systematically. The results show that the increase of relative humidity from 50 to 95% leads to a decrease in tensile strength and Young's modulus values of polymeric films. The decrease of these mechanical properties in high relative humidity is due to the formation of hydrogen bonding in the polymer chain caused by water molecules.

Abstract:	Controllable design of heat exchanger networks is formulated as constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The objective of this new method is to find the individual exchanger areas and bypass fractions which minimize the total annualized cost (or the total area) of the given heat exchanger network structure and, at the same time, to satisfy all the target temperature constraints (hard or soft) for a set of disturbances predefined in all possible directions. This is achieved by solving only one constrained optimization problem which considers the exchanger model equations (heat transfer and mixing) and constraints (resiliency index, heat load and the minimum approach temperature) simultaneously for all possible predefined disturbance directions. With the proposed method, a retrofit design satisfying given set of resiliency-target constraints of a heat exchanger network at minimum cost is accomplished.

Abstract:	A novel hybrid symbolic-connectionist approach to machine learning is illustrated for fault diagnosis of a hydrocarbon chlorination plant. The learning algorithm addressed the knowledge acquisition problem by developing and maintaining the knowledge base through inductive learning. The performance ofthe learning system is discussed in terms ofthe knowledge extracted from example cases and its classification accuracy on the test cases. Results indicate that the introduced system is a promising alternative to neural networks for fault diagnosis and a complement to expert systems.

Abstract:	The effect of temperature and substrate concentration (TOC) on the growth of Thermus thermophilus cells in batch fermentation were investigated, and the data were correlated using unstructured specific growth rate equations. The batch fermentations showed low substrate utilization at about 35% of the initial total organic carbon content (TOC) of the substrate. Intermittent substrate feeding strategies were adopted at two low substrate concentrations The fed-batch fermentations which were conducted to maintain relatively low constant substrate concentrations in the medium did not improve substrate utilization, but led to biomass production comparable to that obtained in simple batch fermentations with the same total amount of substrates. The optimal induction time for D-glucose isomerase activity by D-xylose was found to he at the end of the exponential phase.

Abstract:	The effect of the concentration of a limiting substrate on growth and the concentrations of several intracellular components of recombinant E. coli JM 109 containing the plasmid pUC13 were investigated. The limiting substrate was glucose and the intracellular components measured were plasmid content, RNA content, and beta-lactamase activity. The specific growth rate increased with increase in substrate concentration up to 16 g/litre. A further increase in glucose concentration inhibited growth. The RNA content increased with increasing specific growth rate while the plasmid content and beta-lactamase activity decreased. An unstructured model for the effect of substrate concentration on the specific growth rate was found to fit the experimental data. The equation simulates substrate inhibition during growth at high glucose concentrations.

New retention data for naphthalene and phenanthrene are obtained as a function of pressure at different temperatures. The mobile-phase partial molar volumes of the solutes are determined from infinite-dilution fugacity coefficients and used to model the pressure dependence of solute retention that reveals the nature of interactions between the stationary phase and the solute. Relationships between pressure and temperature dependence of solubility and retention of solutes are also illustrated.

Abstract:	The synthesis of full and semi interpenetrating networks (IPNs) based on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)/polystyrene, PDMS/polybutadiene and PDMS/poly(glycerylpropoxytriacrylate)(a)) is described. PDMS was used as host polymer in most cases. PDMS networks were prepared with two prepolymers having different number-average molecular weights between junctions, ($) over bar M(c) = 15 . 10(3) and ($) over bar M(c) = 75 . 10(3). Physical properties of IPN samples such as stress-strain behaviour, swelling and glass transition temperature (T-g) were examined. IPNs of both PDMS/polystyrene and PDMS/poly(glycerylpropoxytriacrylate) exhibit superior mechanical and elastomeric properties with respect to pure PDMS network. Most of the IPN systems studied in this work display two T(g)s and indicate phase separation.

Abstract:	Tomato seed oil was extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide in a semibatch-flow extraction apparatus. The effect of milling of seeds and solvent flow rate on the extraction behavior was studied. The extraction rate increased as solvent flow rate increased. Milling the seeds,prior to extraction enhanced the extraction rate. During extraction from milled seeds, the solute from the cells opened by milling was extracted fast, and the solute inside the cell walls was extracted slowly. Mathematical models based on two distinct extraction periods with different extraction rate were applied to analyze the experimental data. The models simulated the extraction behavior satisfactorily.

Abstract:	Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), poly(ether ester) (PEE) based on PBT and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (PBT/PEG=49/51 wt%) and their blend are extruded with quenching, drawn x 5 and annealed together with undrawn samples at 170, 180, 190 and 200 degrees C for 6 h in vacuum. All samples are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.), small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and static mechanical measurements. D.s.c. and X-ray results show the absence of complete cocrystallization of homo-PBT and PBT from PEE in the blend in accordance with other reports. The drawn blend annealed at 200 degrees C reveals much higher (by 30 degrees C) T-m than the PEE component (49/51). Also the mechanical properties of the blend are in between those of the components (homo-PBT and PEE 49/51) but improved compared to those of PEE with the same chemical composition (PEE 75/25). Both observations are explained by partial cocrystallization, i.e. formation of crystallites consisting of two populations of crystallites differing in their size, perfection, origin and time of appearance. The lack of complete cocrystallization and miscibility in this particular blend as well as in other cases with PEE containing less than 75 wt% PBT is explained by the insufficient length of PBT hard segments in PEE necessary for the formation of lamellar thickness typical of the crystallites of homo-PBT.

Abstract:	Effects of temperature (at 35, 45 or 55 degrees C) and pressure (10-110 atm) on the relative distribution coefficients of the twelve key components of spearmint oil (essential oil of Mentha cardiaca; Scotch spearmint) at equilibrium in dense CO2 were investigated under conditions ranging from subcritical to supercritical regions. Effects of vapor pressure, molecular weight and polarity of the key components on their equilibrium distributions in sub/supercritical CO2 are discussed. At 35 degrees C, all key components of spearmint oil are equally soluble in dense CO2 within the 12-102 atm pressure region. At 45 and 55 degrees C, the key components are equally soluble for pressures greater than about 60 atm. However, around either 45 degrees C/27 atm or 55 degrees C/35 atm conditions, the relative distribution coefficients of all monoterpene hydrocarbons and of isomenthone (an oxygenated monoterpene) exhibit maxima, which are due to significantly higher vapor pressures of these components and significantly lower solvating power of the dense gas solvent at these particular temperatures and pressures. Vapor-pressure effects, coupled with the decrease in solvating power, dominate the effects of polarity and molecular mass of the key components. Deterpenation of spearmint oil with dense CO2 is possible around either 45 degrees C/27 atm or 55 degrees C/35 atm, where the monoterpene hychocarbons tend to concentrate in the CO2-rich phase.

In this work we have evaluated this ratio by using a novel method of approximation. For this purpose, we have arbitrarily changed the value of s2/s1 and obtained the most suitable value yielding chi2 = 0.303 by interpolation.

Abstract:	A UV-curable acrylated urethane prepolymer was synthesized from tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), a polyether polyol (Arcol 1131) and endcapped with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) by addition reaction in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst. UV curing was performed with either diethylene glycol diacrylate or thiodiethylene glycol diacrylate as reactive diluent. The effects of reactive diluent types, their concentrations and the humidity of environment on mechanical properties of cured films were investigated. Changes in the tensile strength, elongation and Young's modulus values of the cured films upon addition of reactive diluents with different concentrations were related to the effect of the diluent on the crosslinking density of cured films. The increase of relative humidity from 50 to 95% caused a decrease of tensile strength and Young's modulus values of cured films. It is proposed that the decrease of these physical properties in high relative humidity is due to the formation of hydrogen bonding in polymer chains caused by water molecules.

Abstract:	Recent investigations show that as a class of interactions for designing proteins, hydrophobic interactions are not specific enough, hydrophilic interactions are typically too weak, and water interactions are always on the exterior. In terms of overall protein stability, there is a substantial advantage to a nucleus with strong, directional interactions. Metal ion sites in proteins exhibit strong directional preferences for their coordinate ligands, and the specificities manifested by ions have been demonstrated to be useful in reducing molecular fluctuations. The engineered introduction of zinc binding sites has been shown to improve the stabilities of designed proteins. Metal binding sites can therefore provide important structural building blocks for protein design.

Abstract:	On-lattice simulations of two-dimensional self-avoiding chains subject to homogeneous intramolecular attractive interactions were performed as a model for studying various density regimes in globular proteins. For short chains of less than 15 units, all conformations were generated and classified by density. The range of intramolecular interactions was found to increase uniformly with density, and the average number of topological contacts is directly proportional to density. The uniform interaction energy increases the probability of high density states but does not necessarily lead to dominance of the highest density state. Typically, several large peaks appear in the probability distribution of packing densities, their location and amplitude being determined by the balance between entropic effects enhancing more expanded conformations and attractive interactions favoring compact forms. Also, the homogeneous interaction energy affects the distribution of most probable interacting points in favor of the longer range interactions over the short range ones, but in addition it introduces some more detailed preferences even among short range interactions. There are some implications about the characteristics of the intermediate density states and also for the likelihood that the native state does not correspond completely to the lowest energy conformation.

Abstract:	The role played by non-homogeneous interactions in stabilizing cooperative structural changes in proteins was investigated by exhaustive simulations of all compact conformations compatible with several well-defined globule-like shapes in three dimensions. Conformational free energies corresponding to the association of residues i and j were computed both for the unperturbed system, all subject to identical intramolecular interactions, and for the perturbed system in which a single pair of residues is probed by changing its interactions with an attractive or repulsive interaction. The high packing density leads to strong coupling between residues so that specific interactions between a given pair of residues are accompanied by considerable enthalpy changes. Relatively weak, about 1-2 kcal/mol, attractive interactions can exert a dramatic effect on the free energy distribution. Usually, central positions in the sequence most affect the conformational characteristics. Some of these interaction pairs appear to be capable of effecting major conformation transitions because of the high level of cooperativity in the dense state. Effects of repulsive interactions, however, do not depend so strongly on residue pair and cause more localized structural changes. This approach can suggest more, or less, sensitive loci for amino acid substitution.

Abstract:	Model networks of alpha,omega-dihydroxy-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) were prepared by tetrafunctional crosslinking agent tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and the catalyst stannous 2-ethylhexanoate. Hydroxyl-terminated chains of PDMS having molecular weights 15 x 10(3) and 75 x 10(3) mol-1 were used in the crosslinking reaction. Bimodal networks were obtained from a 50% (w/w) mixture of PDMS chains with M(n) = 15 x 10(3) and 75 x 10(3) g mol-1. A sequential interpenetrating network of these PDMS chains was also prepared. Physical properties of the elastomers were determined by stress-strain tests, swelling and extraction experiments, and differential scanning calorimetry measurements.

Abstract:	Adsorption isotherms of six C5-C-8 paraffinic hydrocarbons (n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, iso-octane, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane) on the commercial 0.3 wt.-% Pt/Al2O3 reforming catalyst were investigated under isothermal chromatographic conditions using the elution technique in the temperature range 458-510 K. Average enthalpies of adsorption were determined by using the isosteres obtained from experimental adsorption isotherms and compared with those calculated on the basis of pulse retention data at infinite dilution for eleven C5-C-8 alkanes including the six mentioned above. The isotherms were also fitted to the Langmuir equation for the evaluation of adsorption equilibrium coefficients, Gibbs free energies, average adsorption enthalpies and entropies.

Abstract:	Intrinsic viscosities of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) solutions in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) above and below the theta (theta) temperature (36.9-degrees-C) have been measured by using a capillary viscometer. The equation-of-state exchange energy (X12) and entropy (Q12) parameters were estimated as 62.82 J cm-3 and 0.03 J cm-3 K-1, respectively. The unperturbed dimension constant (K(theta)) and characteristic ratio (C(infinity)) were determined as 5.91 x 10(-4) dl Mol1/2 g-3/2 and 9.3 using the intrinsic viscosity data obtained at the theta temperature for PEMA in IPA. The polymer-solvent interaction parameters (chi1, chi2) were calculated from equation-of-state theory as a function of temperature. The value of the ratio of contact sites (s2/s1) is found to be 0.73 for this PEMA-IPA pair.

Abstract:	Dielectric permittivity has been measured for some ternary mixtures of poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly(4-chlorostyrene) and dioxane at 25-degrees-C. The relaxation time due to the longitudinal component of the ester-group dipole in the polylactone chain increases roughly linearly with increasing total polymer concentration at a rate in rough agreement with earlier dielectric data for binary systems.

Abstract:	Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a bead-spring model chain of 30 beads immersed in 738 solvent molecules. The solvent-solute interaction energy epsilon(bs) has been varied in the range 0.1 less-than-or-equal-to epsilon(bs) less-than-or-equal-to 0.8 kcal/mol to assess the role and importance of solvent type on the dynamic and equilibrium properties of the chain. Radial distribution functions for polymer bead-solvent and bead-bead pairs indicate the enhancement of more expanded chain configurations with increasing quality of the solvent. The translational diffusivity D of the chain exhibits an inverse linear dependence on epsilon(bs), thus decreasing in the presence of more favorable polymer-solvent interactions. Molecular dimensions of the chain such as the mean-square end-to-end distance [r2] and the radius of gyration R(g) are examined in various solvent environment. The ratio [r2]/R(g)2 approximates the limiting value of 6 corresponding to infinitely long freely jointed chains. A linear dependence of D on 1/R(g) is observed, in conformity with the Zimm theory of dilute polymer solutions subject to hydrodynamic interactions. The orientational motion of internal chain vectors is also found to slow down with increasing strength of intermolecular interactions, in parallel with the translational diffusivity. Characteristic orientational relaxation times tau are calculated for chain segments of various sizes n, using the initial decay rates of the corresponding orientational autocorrelations functions. These are found to obey a scaling law of the form tau is similar to n(a) for a given epsilon(bs). The exponent a therein decreases with the quality of the solvent, assuming values in the interval 1.0 less-than-or-equal-to a less-than-or-equal-to 1.5 throughout the investigated range of polymer-solvent interactions.

Abstract:	The growth behavior of a mixed culture of plasmid-free and plasmid-containing (YEp352) Escherichia coli HB101 cells in free suspension and immobilized conditions was studied experimentally. It was found that immobilization in calcium alginate beads delayed the reduction of the plasmid-containing fraction for a period of time inversely related to the total number of cells initially immobilized. A simple unstructured model that assumes compartmentalization of cells in the immobilization matrix at the beginning of growth gave a fit which was in good agreement with the data.

Abstract:	The intrinsic viscosity data of linear poly(4-chlorostyrene) in n-propylbenzene and isopropylbenzene were used to estimate the equation of state exchange energy (X12) and entropy (Q12) parameters. The quantities estimated for X12 were 6.7 and 8.1 J cm-3 and those of Q12 were -0.069 and -0.063 J cm-3 deg-1 in n-propylbenzene and isopropylbenzene, respectively. The average values of the chain unperturbed dimension constant (K0) and the characteristic ratio (C(infinity)) were found to be 0.55 x 10(-3) dl mol1/2 g-3/2 and 10.54, respectively, from the intrinsic viscosities measured at the corresponding theta-temperatures.

Abstract:	Intrinsic viscosities ([eta]) of polystyrene solutions in cyclohexane above and below the theta temperature have been measured using a capillary viscometer. The viscosity measurements were performed on five polystyrene samples with molecular weights of 6.3 x 10(4), 9.0 x 10(4), 6.0 x 10(5), 2.8 x 10(6) and 10 x 10(6). A smooth and continuous contraction was observed below the theta temperature (34.5-degrees-C). The temperature dependence of [eta] can be represented by a master curve in a alpha(eta)3\tau\M1/2 (g1/2 mol-1/2) versus \tau\M1/2 (g1/2 mol-1/2) plot, where alpha(eta) = [eta(T)]/[eta(theta)]1/3 is a viscosity expansion factor and tau = (T - theta)/T is the reduced temperature. A universal plot of reduced viscosity (alpha(eta)) versus reduced blob parameter (N/N(c)) shows the achievement of the collapsed state for the T < 0 region. The prediction of the temperature blob theory is also verified for the T > theta region.

Abstract:	Tetrafunctional initiators T4-AZO4, T4-TCE1 and T4-IPDI4 have been synthesized by using insertion reaction of tetrakis(dimethylamino)-titanium (T4) with 2,2'-azoiso-butyronitrile (AIBN), tetracyanoethylene (TCE) or isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), respectively, in dry benzene under nitrogen at 35-degrees-C. T4-AZO4 is useful for preparing four-branch polymers from radically polymerizable monomers by decompositon of the azo groups incorporated in the related initiator. Four-branch polyacrylonitrile can be synthesized by using the initiator T4-TCE1. This initiator possesses titanium-amino functionalities which are capable of initiating acrylonitrile polymerizations. The tetrafunctional isocyanate compound T4-IPDI4 is found to be useful to prepare a model network of dihydroxy-terminated polymers.

Abstract:	Results from molecular dynamics simulations of isolated poly(dialkylsiloxane) chains are analyzed with emphasis on the conformational dynamics of a fragment of five repeat units, in which the alkyl group is tert-butyl. This fragment furnishes a typical example of a chain in which the bulky substituents restrict to a considerable extent the rotational motions of the backbone, which otherwise enjoys a high degree of flexibility. The rotational motions of the bonds flanking the oxygen atom are observed to be strongly correlated: the main mechanism of relaxation in the time range of picoseconds is the coupled counterrotations of those adjacent bonds. Examination of the molecular dynamics trajectories over much longer time scales, such as tenths of nanoseconds, reveals correlations between the rotational motions of neighboring repeat units, causing a relatively long-range coupling of backbone bonds along the chains, mainly between bonds i and i + 3. The orientational motion of the pair of bonds flanking the oxygen atom is analyzed within the framework of the dynamic rotational isomeric state formalism.

Abstract:	The possible contribution of the silver colloid technique for staining nucleolar organizer regions in the distinction between benign and malignant adrenocortical neoplasms was investigated. Nine cases of adenoma, eight cases of carcinoma, nine cases of hyperplasia and four normal adrenal cortex specimens were examined. The mean silver binding nucleolar organizer region (Ag-NOR) value in adenoma was 4.29, and in carcinoma 7.16 (P < 0.001). Adenomas with diameters > 3 cm had significantly higher Ag-NOR counts than smaller adenomas. For normal cortex, the mean Ag-NOR value was 2.05 and in hyperplasia, 3.62. The results indicate that the Ag-NOR technique can help in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant adrenocortical lesions and thus may have a prognostic value.

Abstract:	Molecular dynamics trajectories have been computed for isolated poly(dialkylsiloxane) chains in which the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, or tert-butyl. The joint probability profiles for the pair of Si-O bonds flanking a silicon atom are insensitive to the changes in the alkyl substituents. In contrast, the joint probability profiles for the pair of bonds flanking an oxygen atom change systematically as the size of the alkyl group increases. There is a strong correlation in the dihedral angles at these two bonds when the alkyl groups are large. The features in these probability profiles are incorporated into a rotational isomeric state analysis that permits predictions of the characteristic ratio, C infinity in the limit as n --> infinity. If the alkyl groups are not branched, the values of C infinity increase with the size of the alkyl group and reach a limit of about 8.3. Branching of the side chain reduces the characteristic ratio.

Abstract:	Intrinsic viscosities of poly(4-chlorostyrene) solutions in isopropyl-benzene and n-propylbenzene at temperatures above and below the theta (theta) temperatures of these solvents were measured using a capillary viscometer. The viscosity measurements were performed on three poly(4-chlorostyrene) samples having molecular weights (M(v)BAR) 1.75 x 10(6), 6.5 x 10(5) and 2.7 x 10(5). A smooth and continuous contraction below the theta-temperatures was observed for both solvents. The temperature dependence of [eta] can be represented by a master curve in a plot of alpha(eta)3\tau\M1/2 (g1/2 mol-1/2) versus \tau\M1/2 (g1/2 mol-1/2), where alpha(eta) = [eta(T)]/[eta(theta)]1/3 is the expansion factor and tau = (T - theta)/T is the reduced temperature. A universal plot of reduced viscosity size (alpha(eta)) versus reduced blob parameter (N/N(c)) shows the achievement of collapsed state for T < theta. The prediction of thermal blob theory is also verified for T > theta. The temperature dependence of intrinsic viscosity, both below and above the theta-temperature, exhibits similar behaviour to the temperature dependence of dipole moments for both of these solvents.

Abstract:	Regenerative glass furnaces have continuous glass production but are cyclic in thermal operation. The length of the thermal cycle affects the thermal efficiency of the furnace. We summarize the results of 11 experiments performed on a 33 ton/day end-port type regenerative glass furnace. Six flame-direction reversal times, ranging from 15 to 40 min, were used. The furnace thermal efficiencies were determined to be in the range 41.8-43.8%, with longer flame direction reversal times yielding higher efficiencies. Two alternative methods were used to determine the optimum flame-direction reversal time and both resulted in an optimum cycle time of 40-45 min.

Abstract:	Dipole moments of poly (p-chlorostyrene) were determined from dielectric and refractive index measurements performed on their dilute benzene, isopropyl benzene and n-propyl benzene solutions over a wide range of temperatures. Experimental results are expressed in terms of the dimensionless dipole moment ratios, D(x) = [mu-2]/x-mu-0(2). The temperature coefficients of dipole moments, d ln[mu-2]/dT were calculated. The presence and importance of the specific solvent-segment interactions are demonstrated by considering the temperature dependence of the dipole moment ratio in the vicinity of the theta temperature. These results are compared with dipole moments and temperature coefficients which were calculated by Bahar et al. using the appropriate rotational isomeric state model to study the local solvent effect for the poly (p-chlorostyrene)-benzene system.

Abstract:	A method for evaluating the dipole moments of copolymers in relation to the distribution of polar unit sequences is proposed. Experimental data on the synthesis and dipole moments of styrene-p-chlorostyrene and styrene-p-methoxystyrene copolymers were used to calculate the effective dipole moment of a polar unit in a copolymer. For this purpose, we assumed the following effective moment values for the corresponding polar unit sequences along the copolymer chains: when both of the nearest neighbours are polar, mu(PP), when one of the nearest neighbours is polar and the other is non-polar, mu(PS), and when both of the nearest neighbours are non-polar, mu(SS). The relative magnitudes of mu(SS), mu(PS) and mu(PP) calculated for both copolymers reflect the influence of dipole-dipole interactions on the effective dipole moment of a polar unit in a copolymer molecule.

Abstract:	Molecular dynamics trajectories have been computed and analyzed for linear chains, with sizes ranging from C10H22 to C100H202, and for cyclic C100H200. All hydrogen atoms are included discretely. All bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles are variable. Hazard plots show a tendency, at very short times, for correlations between rotational isomeric transitions at bond i and i +/- 2, in much the same manner as in the Brownian dynamics simulations reported by Helfand and co-workers. This correlation of next nearest neighbor bonds in isolated polyethylene chains is much weaker than the correlation found for next nearest neighbor CHCH2 bonds in poly(1,4-trans-butadiene) confined to the channel formed by crystalline perhydrotriphenylene [Dodge and Mattice, Macromolecules 24, 2709 (1991)]. Less than half of the rotational isomeric transitions observed in the entire trajectory for C50H102 can be described as strongly coupled next nearest neighbor transitions. If correlated motions are identified with successive transitions, which occur within a time interval of DELTA-t less-than-or-equal-to 1 ps, only 18% of the transitions occur through cooperative motion of bonds i and i +/- 2. An analysis of the entire data set of 2482 rotational isomeric state transitions, observed in a 3.7 ns trajectory for C50H102 at 400 K, was performed using a formalism that treats the transitions at different bonds as being independent. On time scales of 0.1 ns or longer, the analysis based on independent bonds accounts reasonably well for the results from the molecular dynamics simulations. At shorter times the molecular dynamics simulation reveals a higher mobility than implied by the analysis assuming independent bonds, presumably due to the influence of correlations that are important at shorter times.

Abstract:	The probability distribution of isomeric conformations in poly(dimethylsiloxane) has been investigated both by conformational energy considerations and by molecular dynamics simulations. A comparatively smooth distribution of isomeric states is obtained from both approaches. The molecular dynamics trajectory of a simulated dimethylsiloxane oligomer of eight units is used as a reliable and realistic tool to estimate the probability of occurrence for various rotational isomeric states. Conformations involving bonds in the gauche state produce attractive intramolecular potentials through suitable spatial arrangement of close neighbors, which is contradictory to the unfavorable interactions attributed to them in the model described by Flory, Crescenzi, and Mark. The relative potential energies of the various conformational states are obtained from the probability of those conformations occurring in a molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract:	A new rotational isomeric state treatment, compatible with the molecular mechanics and dynamics considerations of the preceding paper, is introduced for describing the conformational statistics of poly(dimethylsiloxane). In view of the smooth distribution of rotamers deduced from molecular dynamics simulations, softer potentials are assigned to bonds in gauche states compared to the model of Flory, Crescenzi, and Mark. Second-order interactions prevailing in states involving trans bonds are included in the theory. The model yields satisfactory agreement with experiments on the mean-square unperturbed end-to-end separations, the mean-square dipole moment and its temperature dependence, and the molar cyclization equilibrium constants for dimethylsiloxane oligomers. It cannot account for the positive temperature coefficient of the unperturbed chain dimensions. Intramolecular interactions extending beyond first and second neighbors along the chan are investigated as a possible origin of the discrepancy.

Abstract:	Poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile)-graft-polyacrylonitrile graft copolymers were prepared using a mixed (free-radical/anionic) mechanism technique. For this purpose, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) random copolymers which contain different amounts of acrylonitrile segments were regarded as saturated high-molecular-weight nitrile compounds and were allowed to react with tetrakis(dimethylamino)titanium. By this treatment pendant nitrile groups were transformed to organometallic active sites. These active groups lead to the polymerization of acrylonitrile via an anionic insertion process. Polyacrylonitrile grafts were grown on the poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) backbone.

Abstract:	Several dimeric and polymeric peroxycarbamates were synthesized using various aliphatic diisocyanates and hydroperoxides. The products were characterized by IR spectroscopy, molecular weight measurements, isocyanate and peroxide analyses. Thermal decomposition kinetics of these peroxycarbamates were studied in 1,4-dioxane or toluene solutions at 80, 90, and 100-degrees-C. All reactions were found to proceed according to a first-order kinetics with activation energies in the range of 126-144 kJ/mol, depending on the structure of the peroxycarbamate. One of the polymeric products was used to initiate methyl methacrylate polymerization at 80-degrees-C in bulk. The initiating activity of this peroxycarbamate was found to be better than that of some hydroperoxides.

Abstract:	The helix-coil transition in poly(oxymethylene) has been investigated by using the recently developed dynamic rotational isomeric state (DRIS) model and the related matrix multiplication technique. The conditional probability P-tau-(h/h) that a chain originally in the perfect helical form will preserve its state unchanged at a later time tau is evaluated for various chain lengths and temperatures.The transition to the coiled structure in an originally fully ordered helix is found to exhibit a bimodal relaxation, indicated by a plateau in the time decay curves of the conditional probabilities, before restoration of equilibrium distribution. This intermediate quasi-steady state preceding full relaxation is attributed to an equilibrium between perfect helices and chains possessing a single defect in the form of a trans bond, interrupting sequences of gauche bonds of the same sign.

Abstract:	Steady-state and transient heat transfer coefficients were determined for a finned-coil, stirred-tank system using flat-blade turbine impellers in water. Fin spacing, flowrate, hot water temperature and agitator speed were varied for Re between 20 000 - 110 000 for the agitated side. Individual transfer coefficients were calculated from the experimental overall coefficients. The correlation developed for predicting external transfer coefficients in agitated systems with finned-tube coils was tested against transient data.
