Nonabsorbable Natural Sutures. Cotton and silk are the only nonabsorbable sutures made from natural fibers that are stiH available ia the United States. Cotton suture is made from fibers harvested from various species of plants belonging to the genus Gossipium. The fiber is composed principally of ceUulose. The seeds are separated from the cotton boUs, which are carded, combed, and spun iato yams that are then braided or twisted to form sutures ia a range of sizes (Table 4). The suture is bleached with hydrogen peroxide and subsequendy coated (finished or glaced) with starch and wax. The suture may be white or dyed blue with D C Blue No. 9. 

Ribosomes, the supramolecular assemblies where protein synthesis occurs, are about 65% RNA of the ribosomal RNA type. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules fold into characteristic secondary structures as a consequence of intramolecular hydrogen bond interactions (marginal figure). The different species of rRNA are generally referred to according to their sedimentation coefficients (see the Appendix to Chapter 5), which are a rough measure of their relative size (Table 11.2 and Figure 11.25).

The dissociation constants of trityl and benzhydryl salts are KD 10 4 mol/L in CH2C12 at 20° C, which corresponds to 50% dissociation at 2-10-4 mol/L total concentration of carbocationic species (cf. Table 7) [34]. The dissociation constants are several orders of magnitude higher than those in analogous anionic systems, which are typically KD 10-7 mol/L [12]. As discussed in Section IV.C.l, this may be ascribed to the large size of counterions in cationic systems (e.g., ionic radius of SbCL- = 3.0 A) compared with those in anionic systems (e.g., ionic radius of Li+ 0.68 A), and to the stronger solvation of cations versus anions. However, the dissociation constants estimated by the common ion effect in cationic polymerizations of styrene with perchlorate and triflate anions are similar to those in anionic systems (Kd 10-7 mol/L) [16,17]. This may be because styryl cations are secondary rather than tertiary ions. For example, the dissociation constants of secondary ammonium ions are 100 times smaller than those of quaternary ammonium ions [39]. 

Both dissolution and diffusion are important parameters in defining bioavailability of species by the i.m. or s.c. routes. Soluble neutral compounds disperse from intramuscular sites according to size Table 9.7 shows that mannitol, a small molecule, rapidly diffuses from the site of injection insulin... 

The species in Table 3 were selected based on several criteria, primarily ease of culture, commercial availability, and size. The test species are acclimated for a specific period of time prior to testing to eliminate diseased organisms. Generally, a minimum of 10 animals are exposed in static and static-renewal tests and 20 in a flow-through test for each test concentration and control. The recommended loading... 

There are many methods for the determination of the size distribution of dispersed species. Table 2.1 shows some of the size ranges covered. Some of the principal methods are discussed in the following sections. Table 2.2 shows examples of some diameter conventions used in dispersed species sizing.

Cyclic oligomers (species of type D, Table 10.3) appear as the most abxm-dant species at low masses in both samples, whereas their peak intensities decrease rapidly with size. At high mass, linear oligomers with two phe-nylcarbonate end-groups (species A, Table 10.3) and with two p-tert-butylphenylcarbonate end-groups (species A, Table 10.3) predominate in the... 

Rate-coefficient data are presented first for the H2/O2 system (Tables 2 to 4), next for reactions of CO and CO2 (Table 5), and then for hydrocarbon reactions in order of increasing size from Cj to C4 species with species equal or smaller in size (Tables 6 to 32). Finally, Table 33 gives a list of rate-coefficient recommendations. 

The diffusion of metal ions in vitreous siUca has not been studied as extensively as that of the gaseous species. The alkaU metals have received the most attention because their behavior is important in electrical appHcations. The diffusion coefficients for various metal ions are Hsted in Table 5. The general trend is for the diffusion coefficient to increase with larger ionic sizes and higher valences.
