Pocket interiors

It is difficult to produce valid persistence data for clothing other than to say that it is our most fruitful sampling area (pocket interiors in particular). As stated previously, persistence on clothing depends on the nature of the material and the degree of physical disturbance the garment suffers. FDR will remain indefinitely on clothing if the clothing is undisturbed. 

In addition to the random nature of FDR deposition, the retention time is very low, disappearing rapidly from the hands, face, and head hair but remaining longer on the upper outer garment. The residues are chemically stable and their persistence obviously depends entirely on what happens to the clothing after the incident. If the clothing is left undisturbed, the FDR will remain indefinitely. If the clothing is worn after deposition, there will be a loss as a consequence of normal activity, namely, motion, transfer, wind, rain, and so forth. (This is less applicable to FDR inside pockets pocket interiors are our most fruitful area.)... 

Excluding suicides and dead suspects, distribution (where FDR is found and its concentration in that area) is of very limited practical value and interpretation of distribution pattern needs caution. FDR on the hands can be readily transferred, in the course of normal activity, to the face, head hair, and clothing (including pocket interiors). Distribution has, in a few unusual cases, been an important factor. 

Glaser and Litt (G4) have proposed, in an extension of the above study, a model for gas-liquid flow through a b d of porous particles. The bed is assumed to consist of two basic structures which influence the fluid flow patterns (1) Void channels external to the packing, with which are associated dead-ended pockets that can hold stagnant pools of liquid and (2) pore channels and pockets, i.e., continuous and dead-ended pockets in the interior of the particles. On this basis, a theoretical model of liquid-phase dispersion in mixed-phase flow is developed. The model uses three bed parameters for the description of axial dispersion (1) Dispersion due to the mixing of streams from various channels of different residence times (2) dispersion from axial diffusion in the void channels and (3) dispersion from diffusion into the pores. The model is not applicable to turbulent flow nor to such low flow rates that molecular diffusion is comparable to Taylor diffusion. The latter region is unlikely to be of practical interest. The model predicts that the reciprocal Peclet number should be directly proportional to nominal liquid velocity, a prediction that has been confirmed by a few determinations of residence-time distribution for a wax desulfurization pilot reactor of 1-in. diameter packed with 10-14 mesh particles.

The WIN compounds all contain a flexible linking region that allows them to conform to differently shaped interiors of VP1 hydrophobic pockets. This flexibility is seen in many compounds that share the WIN-drug mechanism of action. However, some compounds do not contain a region as obviously flexible as an aliphatic linker (e.g., those with unsaturated rings as linkers, Figure 5). 

The exclusion mutants behavior has been readily and adequately determined by biochemical and crystallographic means [91,92]. The mutations occur within the hydrophobic pocket of VP1 and thermostabilization studies have shown that these mutations preclude the binding of drug in the VP1 pocket. One mutation site in HRV14 has been located at position 1188, which is on the side of the pocket closest to the viral interior, away from the canyon. Mutations at this site that convey resistance...
