Fibers formed by a mono-urea dicarboxylic acid derivative in water were analyzed by SEM, IR and XRD. The resulting data were used to develop a model of the molecular aggregation leading to fiber formation.
The Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF II) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA, has served as a primary radiometric standard in the vacuum ultraviolet region since its conversion from a synchrotron to an electron storage ring in 1974. The magnet iron, however, dates back to an original betatron design of the late 1940s. The advent of both modern materials and methods of finite element analysis have made possible the design of magnets offering far greater dc performance than the existing SURF system. In this paper we discuss the general design and plans to convert SURF II to SURF III, which will offer reduced radiometric uncertainty, an increase in energy from 300 MeV to 385 MeV, a modernized control system, and two new beamlines, which are not presently possible. Anticipated new beamline activities include a substantial new effort devoted to radiometric improvements from IR to far UV and development of stations for microspectoscopy and electroreflectance.
Interleukin (IL)-1beta is an important early mediator of inflammation in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. We previously reported that a geranylgeranyltransferase inhibitor elevated basal levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and enhanced IL-1beta-mediated induction, suggesting that Rac or Rho small G proteins are candidates for antagonism of such induction. In this study, overexpression of constitutively active Rac1 or its dominant negative mutant did not affect IL-1beta induction of iNOS. Alternatively, treatment with Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme, which ADP-ribosylates Rho, was associated with superinduction of iNOS, suggesting an inhibitory role for Rho. IL-1beta activated the three mitogen-activated protein kinase (extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase, and p38) and the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways. The former two pathways were not associated with IL-1beta-mediated iNOS induction, whereas the latter two appeared to have inhibitory roles in iNOS expression. These data suggest that a broad intracellular signaling response to IL-1beta in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells results in elevated levels of iNOS that is opposed by the geranylgeranylated small G protein Rho as well as the p38 and JAK2 pathways.
