PGA was one of the very first degradable polymers ever investigated for biomedical use. PGA found favor as a degradable suture, and has been actively used since 1970 [45 -7]. Because PGA is poorly soluble in many common solvents, limited research has been conducted with PGA-based drug delivery devices. Instead, most recent research has focused on short-term tissue engineering scaffolds. PGA is often fabricated into a mesh network and has been used as a scaffold for bone [48-51], cartilage [52-54], tendon [55, 56], and tooth [57]. 

Acute Toxicity Tire tenn refers to short-term poisonous effects. The toxicity of a chemical determined at the end of 24 hours which causes death or injury from a single or limited exposure. Adapter A device for making a connection when threads do not match or when they are different sizes. 

Generally, bias-stress instability refers to long-term changes in the transistor characteristics that do not saturate but continue without limit until the device is rendered useless. Hysteresis refers to short-term reversible shifts in the characteristics that lead to looping in the measured characteristics, depending on the direction in which the bias voltages are swept. There is no sharp distinction between bias-stress instability and hysteresis, and the two may arise from the same or similar physical causes. 

Because one has to consider unpredictably higher concentrations, especially in the case of the last two jobs mentioned, the use of respiratory protection is often necessary. For selection of the most suitable devices, concentration measurements have to be performed. It is important to consider the surrounding environment of workplaces if other persoimel occasionally work in these areas without respiratory protection. If jobs are of short duration, short-term measurements need to be performed to assess the exposure. A risk assessment of short-term exposures on the basis of an 8-h measurement is only possible in exceptional cases. For short-term exposure measurements, not every sampling technique is suitable. In this case, special sampling methods must be used in order to achieve a sufficiently low detection limit during short measurement times, especially for complex mixtures of substances. In many cases of this type thermodesorption has been proved to be the method of choice. 

In mostresearch laboratory situations, it would be unusual to find an airborne radioactivity area on otherthan a short-term basis. If there is any possibility ofan approach to the limits while working on an open bench, the use of radioactive materials should be restricted to a hood, or in a glove box or hot cell. In a facility with a broad license, it is recommended that at least some ofthe more active individuals using radioisotopes should be included in a bioassay program for the same reason that others weara personal monitoring device, to ensure and document that no one is receiving an internal dose over the limits. 

Coating devices with antibiotics or other antimicrobial agents is undoubtedly simple and applicable to all types of drugs. However, limitations of this strategy are insufficient dmg loading and the rapid release of the adsorbed drug in the first hours following implantation. Both of these phenomena cause a short-term antimicrobial activity and can contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. 

This versatile technique was further extended into preparing a wide range of reactive coatings within complex confined microgeometries. The ability of this process to coat reactive polymer films within previously assembled devices was successfully demonstrated (Figure 5) (5/). The polymer films deposited within the microchannels were able to maintain reactivity towards their corresponding binding partners. Compared to conventional solution-based methods, this method provides a simple route that is well-defined, permanent and is not limited to short term applications. 

As indicated above, silicon sensors have become the standard in diode thermometry and an extensive amount of data exists for them. Typical long-term stability is on the order of 50 mK, while short-term stability can be as low as a few millikelvin. This stability makes the diode competitive with industrial grade platinum thermometers with the added benefit of being usable to as low as 1 K. The upper temperature limit for commercially available diode sensors is around 400 K. This limit is determined by the properties of silicon, the metallurgy of the contact areas, and also by the construction materials and techniques used in device packaging.
