United States Patent 3,398,040 VACUUM COATED PRODUCT Lloyd R. Allen, Belmont, and Robert W. Steeves, Nahant, Mass., assiguors to National Research Corporation, Cambridge, Mass., a corporation of Massachusetts Filed Apr. 1, 1965, Ser. No. 444,529 20 Claims. (Cl. 161-45) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A heat rejecting window including a clear plastic film, a layer of window glazing, a semitransparent layer of metal vacuum deposited on the inner surface of said film, and a thin layer of transparent organic liquid securing said plastic film to said glazing by surface tension.
The present invention relates to improvements in laminated glass structures and particularly to laminated glass structures used as single pane glazing for doors and windows in buildings.
It is a principal object of the invention to provide useful laminated glass structures which are reflective in the ultraviolet and infrared wavelength regions and transparent to the visible light wavelength region (at least 50% transmittance in the blue visible region).
It is a related object of the invention to provide laminated glass structures consisting of metallized plastic bonded on glass with a nonpermanent adhesive which permits stripping the metallized plastic from the glass after long periods of use.
Semitransparent radiation barriers for providing temperature control are well known. However, they have not found wide application in glazing applications. These prior art approaches to utilize the metal barrier have included special glass compositions, metal oxide coating directly on glass, metallized window shades, and metalplastic laminates bonded to glass by various adhesives. The difliculties with the prior art products have been great expense. difliculty of application, degradation of the adhesive after prolonged exposure to sunlight and high susceptibility to humidity. Each of the above prior art products has been subject to one or more of these problems.
It is a further object of the invention to provide maximum efficiency in using the laminated glass structures by arranging the metal layer of the metallized plastic between the plastic and the principal source of incident light, and with the metal coating protected from scratching.
These and other objects of the invention are accomplished, in a preferred embodiment, by the structural combination of a vacuum aluminized polyethylene terephthalate film sheet bonded to a window by means of an adhesive such as an alkylene glycol and surrounded by a moisture barrier in the form of a solid resin border at the edge of the sheet to completely enclose the liquid adhesive. However, the invention is generally applicable to several plastic films which can be coated with a variety of metals and which can be laminated to glass using many stable non-volatile organic liquids.
The bonding of the metallized plastic film to the window is accomplished by first spraying on the window a solution or suspension of the adhesive in a volatile carrier liquide.g., adhesive liquid dissolved in trichloroethylene or as an emulsion in water. The metallized plastic film is then spread and flattened against the window. Upon standing, the carrier evaporates and diffuses through the metallized plastic film and this tends to pull the metallized plastic film against the glass by reducing the volume of the adhesive layer. The laminate also demonstrates a self-ironing effect wherein wrinkles in the plastic sheet are smoothed out as it is drawn against the glass. After allow- Fee ing the laminate to stand for several hours, the edges of the metallized plastic may be sealed by applying a permanent adhesive such as piccolastic petroleum resin dissolved in trichloroethylene. Upon standing, the solvent evaporates and the resin solution dries, even in the presence of the adhesive, to form a solid border seal. The adhesive is trapped in the laminate and enclosed by the solid edge seal so that it remains liquid, even when the completed laminate is exposed to adverse weather conditions for several months.
Advantageously, the metallized plastic film is arranged with the metal coated side towards the sun. This arrangement substantially reduces the ultraviolet and infrared light which upon reaching the plastic would degrade it. Window glass is provided with the metallized plastic on the indoor side and the metal side of the plastic towards the window. The uncoated plastic side facing into the room is sufficiently rugged to be washed many times without tearing or scratching. The temporary adhesive bonding of the laminate is strong enough to prevent wrinkling of the metallized plastic during the application or during washing. It is preferred to include an inhibitor agent in the adhesive fluid to prevent the adhesive from reacting with the metal coating. For example, ethylene diamine could be used as the inhibitor agent.
Other objects, features and advantages will in part appear hereinafter and will in part be obvious from the discussion herein.
The invention accordingly comprises, as an article of manufacture, a structural glass laminate comprising a metallized plastic bonded to a glass pane to reduce radiant heat transmission of the laminate with a selective higher transmittance in the visible light radiation band, the laminate being formed of a novel structural combination which yields the surprising advantages of ease of construction of the laminate and ease of removability of the metallized plastic from the glass after extended use. In a particular aspect, the invention comprises an improved window for limiting radiant heat input to a building by reflecting light in the ultraviolet and infrared regions while affording adequate transmission of light throughout the visible range or through a selective portion of the visible range.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is now more particularly described with reference to the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of the structural laminate of the invention viewed in section along a portion thereof.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the transmission and reflectance of light through a laminate as prepared according to the preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 shows a window in isometric, partly cut-away fashion as an early stage of processing according to the invention;
FIG. 4 shows a portion of the window after initial application of the metallized plastic and before edge sealing.
FIG. 5 shows a sealing step;
FIG. 6 shows the coated and sealed window after processing.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the laminate is shown with the metallized plastic coating 2 secured to the glass pane 4 by an adhesive layer 6. The adhesive is in liquid form to provide a non-permanent bond which allows the coating 2 to be stripped. At the edge of the coating 2 there is provided a solid edge seal 8.
According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the field of application is glazing already in place in the windows or doors of a building, vehicle, etc. The plastic fielm comprises a thin oriented film produced as portion of the window during the edge a polyester condensation product of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, e.g., produced by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company as Mylar. This film is coated with aluminum by conventional vacuum deposition process, as shown, for instance, in US. Patent 2,665,223 to Clough et al., or US. Patent 2,971,862 to Baer et al. The polyester film sheet is selected in a thickness between one and two mils. The aluminum is deposited in a thickness between 40 A. and 150 A. The coating is sufficiently adherent that it resists removal by pressure sensitive tape. The window is prepared for lamination by covering with adhesive liquid. The adhesive liquid contains a saturated high boiling hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon derivative having a Saybolt viscosity between 250 and 500 seconds at 100 F.; plus a rust inhibitor which is preferably an aromatic amine; and a low viscosity oil, as necessary, to counterbalance the relatively high viscosity of the glycol. The saturated hydrocarbon is present in amounts of 30 40% by weight and 2 by weight of inhibitor is included in the mixture, the balance being a low viscosity oil. This adhesive mixture is prepared in equal parts with trichloroethylene solvent or in a ratio of 1 part adhesive mixture to 2 parts water as an emulsion. Emulsification is readily attained by agitation in a blender.
A preferred adhesive liquid mixture comprises as a major ingredient (80%) a water insoluble polyalkylene glycol copolymer, as described in US. Patent 2,448,664, and marketed as UCON LB-300X. This material has a viscosity of 285 Saybolt Universal seconds at 100 F., a pour point of 40 to 30 C., a density of about .99 gm./cc. and a vapor pressure less than .01 millimeter mercury at 68 F. The rust inhibitor is present as 5% of the mixture and is triethanolamine nitrite, but may also be phenoethanolamine. The remainder of the mixture is odorless kerosene (Bayol). The mixture is emulsified in water. The amine rust inhibitors tend to promote emulsification.
Adhesive liquids have also been prepared using only kerosene and a carrier liquid. The metallized plastic is assembled with the glass as described below and, preferably, an edge seal is applied as described below. The assembled window has the paraticular advantages that:
(a) The saturated hydrocarbon adhesive is not subject to penetration of moisture and does not form pockets of water between the glass and metallized plastic;
(b) The adhesive has high oxidation resistance;
(c) The plastic sheet is easily removed (after cutting away the edge seal, the sheet can be stripped away as a whole);
(d) Application of the sheet is assisted by the selfironing effects of this combination; and
(e) The window exhibits excellent optical and thermal insulating properties.
FIG. 2 shows the optical transmittance and reflectance of the laminate over the range of .005 micron to 2.5 microns wavelength, as determined by spectrophotometer analysis. The data was taken with the bare glass surface facing towards the source of incident light and metallized side of the film facing towards the light sources (i.e., the metal layer between the glass and plastic layers). The visible light region is between .38 and .78 micron. As shown on the curves, the total transmittance peaks in the visible light region and is substantially lower in the ultra-violet and infrared regions. This laminate has an optimum combination of absorption and reflecting properties. The substantially uniform level of the transmittance and reflectance curves in the visible light region minimize optical distortion. As for insulating properties, temperature rises on absorbing plates exposed to sunlight through windows have been lowered by as much as F. through the use of the present window *la minate.
EXAMPLE Several windows in a single room were provided with thermocouples for measuring the windowsill temperatures of the various windows (A, B, C, D).
Window A had a bare pane.
Window B was covered on the interior with clear polyethylene terephthalate sheet (1 mil thick).
Window C was covered on the interior with a 1 mil polyethylene terephthalate sheet vacuum metallized with an reflective (to blue light wavelength) aluminum coating.
Window D was covered on the interior with a 1 mil polyethylene terephthalate sheet vacuum metallized with a 25% reflective aluminum coating.
For windows B, C and D, the adhesive liquid was a solution of kerosene dissolved in trichloroethylene carrier with the kerosene and trichloroethylene mixed in equal parts by volume.
Temperature readings were taken for the four windows on a sunny day from 8:27 am. to 2:55 pm. During the test period the room temperature varied from 73 F. to 90 F. and then to F. The readings for the window sills A, B, C, D varied as shown in the curves of FIG. 2A. The sun was initially bright and later hazy. This accounts for the drop at the end of all four curves.
If desired, ultra-violet absorbing salts can be included in the adhesive. In practice, 1% by weight of salts have been dissolved in the adhesive before diluting with carrier. A preferred salt is Cyasorb UV-2 r which absorbs in the range .3-.4 micron and remits at about 1.1 microns wavelength.
Method of application The metallized plastic is applied to a window 10 as shown in FTGS. 36. Referring to FIG. 3, an adhesive in a diluent carrier is applied to the glass pane 4 as a liquid film 12 using an aerosol spray gun. Then a vacuum metallized plastic sheet 2 is manually set against the pane with the metallized surface towards the glass. The worker flattens out the sheet (FIG. 4) with a rubber-edged squeegee 16 to remove wrinkles and push excess liquid out through the edges 14 of the film 2. The laminate is allowed to stand for a day, during which time the carrier volatilizes and escapes through the metallized film.
Referring to FIG. 5, an edge seal 18 in liquid form (e.g., piccolastic resin, polymethylmethacrylate or polystyrene dissolved in trichloroethylene) is spread along the edge of the metallized film 2 through the use of an absorbent applicator such as a felt pencil soaked with the edge seal liquid. Upon further standing, the solvent evaporates and the edge seal dries to a transparent solid. The resultant window 10 is shown in FIG. 6. The thickness of the adhesive organic liquid is less than .001 inch. The distortion of light due to the metallized film adhesive and edge seal are minor; the presence of a covering on the window is often unnoticed. Unlike prior art laminates, which are hygroscopic, the edge seal and adhesive composition of the present invention limit the absorption of moisture by the laminate from the atmosphere or from washing.
The invention, while described above with reference to preferred ingredients and steps of application, may be practiced in a variety of other forms. For instance, the plastic sheet could be polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene. The semitransparent vacuum deposited metal coating could be copper, gold, tin or silver or selected from many metals other than aluminum. The adhesive may be any nonvolatile, transparent, nondrying liquid which can be applied to glass and hold the plastic sheet by surface tension. As a broad measure of the volatility, the adhesive should be selected from liquids which have a characteristic evaporation rate of less than about 5% as determined by the standard ASTM D92-51T test. Where the adhesive has a high viscosity, it should be mixed with a low viscosity oil to give the composite a low viscosity. By low viscosity, we mean that a liquid is easily spread by a worker using a roller or squeegee or the like.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that a wide variety of rust inhibitors are available which would remain colorless and could be used in the above application. The diluent carrier should have a volatility at least equal to or as great as that of benzene and preferably equal to or greater than that of water. For instance, halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, particularly trichloroethylene, are good substitutes for water as the carrier for volatilizing through the metallized plastic in a reasonable time. Their concentration in the adhesive layer decreases very rapidly.
Instead of a liquid edge seal which is dried after application, one could use a pressure sensitive tape or chemically activated tape as the edge seal.
Since the inventive concept of our invention, once disclosed, can be utilized in a wide variety of equivalent forms, it is intended that the above disclosure, including the drawings, shall be read as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Short Term:
Bringing back old content: I've already made a topic about this but I'd like to see the old STF's bring back, NOT TO REPLACE THE CURRENT STF's but to add in addition because they were great for story, they added into STO, they explained everything of whats going on in the STF's and in addition they tied things together from tutorial to end.
Long Term:
Adding additional interiors and area's in player starships: Currently there are three area's in a starship, bridge, crew deck, engineering, the bridges are pretty cool but for most of us who do stuff like role playing there is not enough room on our ships if we're doing a crew rp (Crew role play where players play as senior and/or junior officers of a starship.) We need more room, more area's of a starship, and more generic and cannons interiors. Cannon interiors like Sovereign interiors, Galaxy, Intrepid, etc, as well as interiors that would fit for the type of starship like a star cruiser interior, deep space science vessel interior, patrol escort. Also interiors for special ships like the Odyssey class Star cruiser, the Chimera class Destroyer, and the Multi-mission starship, and the Ambassador class starship (Also an Ambassaodor class bridge along with Excelsior class and Movie/TMP Constitution bridge). With this would need additional rooms, area's like the Cargo Bay, the Shuttle Bay, an Astrometrix lab (like the Atrometrics on Voyager and what the Enterprise had in Nemesis and Star Trek Enterprise.) Additional quarters for both VIP's, senior officers (Bridge officers), and Junior officers. A computer core area, an Armory area, useable holodecks (training like what was seen in Of Bajor or recreational area's such as Risa, bajoran/trill hot springs, other places.) a jefferies tube, and for realistic-ness bathrooms. More area's like these would be good to have in STO.

I love granola bars… and by that I mean I love peanut butter and chocolate. Don't even try to give me a granola bar with raisins. I'm pretty sure we had the conversation about adding raisins to oatmeal cookies and mistaking them for chocolate chips. It only takes one time to ruin it for the rest of your life.
I usually make granola bars with chocolate and peanut butter chips, but I had half a bag of Reese's mini peanut butter cups in the pantry that were just begging to be used- and I was happy to oblige. We all know I have no problem serving dessert for breakfast, and these are no exception. I mean, after you add "granola" to the name, does it really matter what came before it? It's downright good for you at that point.
Eat these peanut butter cup granola bars for breakfast, or a snack… either way, you won't be disappointed. I like mine chewy, so bake them a little longer if you prefer yours crispy. These would also make a great lunch box treat!
- 3 cups oats
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1½ cups mini peanut butter cups
- 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- Toast the oats at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
- While toasting the oats, roughly chop the peanut butter cups.
- Combine honey, brown sugar, and peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
- Stir constantly until mixture begins to thin.
- Add in the sweetened condensed milk.
- Pour the warm mixture over the oats and stir until combined.

Camellia Sinensis (Tea plant)
susan2010(6 Massachusetts)June 18, 2011
I just got one. I know nothing about camellias. I checked the Camellia forum for general care information, but since I'll be growing it in a container and overwintering indoors, I thought I'd check in here for advice on how not to kill it. I know I can get it through the summer, I think; it's the winter I'm especially concerned with.
(Not related to my question, but I also just got a kaffir lime and a bergamot orange. I'm very excited about them. They sent gorgeous, healthy plants! Reporting in a week or so, once they've adjusted from shipping.)

Anzac Square: What The Digger Said Poem by Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis
Said the Digger: 'Soon forgot! Soon forgot, the deeds of war.
Better so, may be. . . Why not?
Beauty fades and laurels rot;
Last year's roses are no more.
Fame?' the one-armed Digger said,
'What of glory when you're dead?'
'Stone and brass,' the Digger said. 'Stone and brass: tho' these endure,
Marble flaunting o'er my head
Would be dead, as I'd be dead.
How may any man be sure
That the hearts of men shall hold
Memories of tales once told?
This alone I surely know: earth I am, and earth shall be,
Only Mother Earth can show,
When I go where all men go,
Aught of this that had been me.
Mother Earth, once stained so red,
She must know,' the Digger said.
'Would you raise, in braggart heaps, stone, cold stone, to mark the fame
Of full many a man who sleeps
Where the earth of Anzac keeps
Guard o'er legions lacking name
Plinth and pillar reared to show
Pomp and pride they cannot know?
'They ask no portentous pile, boasting to a heedless sky,
Stirring men a little while,
Subject, then, for sigh or smile,
Not for this do soldiers die,
With our passing let Pride be,
All we ask is Memory:
'Memory of such fair worth as a fighting man may claim,
And a plot of hallowed earth
In the city of our birth:
Earth that bears a hallowed name.
Let it be envisioned there:
Anzac worth in Anzac Square.
'Memory,' the Digger said. 'If so be the city judge
Soldiers worthy, who have bled.
Worthy of her love, the dead,
Shall the city, then, begrudge
One wide acre of her soil
For who saved the whole from spoil?
'Here, it may be, by God's grace, our son's sons may sit at last,
In the People's market place,
Knowing truly, as they trace
Memory of me long past,
'Tis enshrined forever there:
Anzac worth in Anzac Square.'

Do you have to have low folate level to warrent l-methylfolate in treating depression?
What blood tests are necessary before starting l-methylfolate? B12, Folate, CBC?
- Posted:
- 20 Feb 2011 by pattyosborne
- Topics:
- depression, l-methylfolate, blood disorders
Answers (1)
20 Feb 2011
I believe the answer to your question is yes. I doubt a doctor will prescribe methylfolate unless a folate deficiency is documented.
I found the following info about the brand of methylfolate called Deplin (there are two brands of methylfolate, Deplin is the one used for depression and folate deficiency):
The Deplin brand of l-methylfolate is used in the following situations:
in people with major depressive disorder who have folate deficiency. Deplin is used together with anti-depressant medications in people with major depressive disorder and low folate levels.
in people with schizophrenia who have hyperhomocysteinemia related to folate deficiency.
Deplin is not an antidepressant. However, it may enhance the effects of antidepressant medications.
A doctor would test for folic acid (folate) levels in the blood before prescribing methylfolate.
Hope this helps,
Thanks, Laurie. Your answer is consistent with what I have read.

Anime Witchblade?! BLEH! That anime was an affront to the comic and the gods...
@terry2012 said:
@Crom-Cruach: Why you say that
Because the anime is a foul rape of the mere concept of Witchblade which in no way resembles the Top Cow comic which I am an ardent follower since my discovery of it. The anime is witchblade only by name
i dont know but i would assume that the Guyver's physical capabilities are better.... i could def be wrong because im not knowledgable in either characters
@terry2012 said:
@Crom-Cruach: Okay, do you have the comic, if so can you please upload scans.
I do have the comic unfortunately I can't make scans. I can list feats and give issue numbers and references nothing more. I'm not up on Guyver however so I can;t say who I think would win.
Guyver easily.
@terry2012: Like I said don't know squat worth what Guyver can do but Witchblade's feats include
1) has killed reality warping gods
2-Summoned giant dragons that ravaged new york
3)created armies of minions
4)conjured entire structures without effort.
@terry2012: From what I have seen of here of Guyver, Masane is faster, just as strong, and more agile than him (unless you have proof that he is faster) so I say she wins.

Important info about restroing sms data:
There is a settings in the default Messaging app that deletes older messages from conversations which have more than 200 messages. When restoring1000s of messages this setting can cause a lot of problems because it keeps trying to delete messages when you try to open the conversation. If you are restoring lots of messages, then disable this setting by opening the Preferences of the Messaging app.
On some devices it can take a long time to index the new message data. If you get a blank screen or if the phone asks you to Force Close or Wait when opeing the messaging app just press Wait and leave the Messaging app running for a while. It will eventually finish and the app will become usable again.

Question about acoustic treatment using open cell foam
swampwizJuly 16, 2009
I have a few walls that I would like to have as much acoustic isolation as possible. These walls will be done with staggered studs. I figure that dead air is good, but perhaps some open cell spray foam (or some other type of sprayed material would be better.)
I heard that I could put multiple applications of wallboard; this sounds expensive, but I guess I could for one particularly important location. (How exactly would that be done?)
This particularly important location is a toilet and urinal on the wall directly behind the den, and I don't want the "Archie Bunker syndrome". I will pay any price to make sure that a toilet flush is not heard by someone sitting next next to the wall in complete silence.
Anny ideas or suggestions?

The UK radio stations UK Country Radio and Tempo 1074 FM are featuring Kriz Rogers and her songs.
This weekend it will be the third weekend in a row her music is being played over the air on those stations.
On January 8 on http://www.musictogousa.com/listen-to-broadcast.html at 7pm EST there will be a radio show honoring Dallas Frazier, the legendary songwriter who has written the classics "14 Carat Mind", "Elvira" and "There Goes My Everything" among other well known country songs.
Kriz Rogers is one of the singers honoring Frazier, and she is singing "Did We Have To Come This Far To Say Goodbye".
She is in good company with: David Ball, Marty Raybon, June Stearns with Kayton Roberts, Karen Wheeler, Danny Wheeler, Jimmy Payne, Jim Parker, Jerry K.

Easy financial road ahead for state...but...
November 20, 2007 at 3:45 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
Part of that has been due to the major impact oil and gas prices have on the national and state economies. Higher energy prices generally mean more severance and royalty payments for Louisiana and more economic activity in the state which results in more payroll, income and sales tax collections. Conversely, higher oil and gas prices often act as a drag on the national economy by redirecting consumer spending away from recreational activities and consumer goods that help the economy expand.
Louisiana and much of the nation again appear to be moving in different directions from an economic standpoint, but this time there are more variables creating the chasm.
Nothing short of a deluge of dollars appears to be heading toward the state coffers in Baton Rouge. With the price of crude oil hovering near $100 per barrel and natural gas prices holding firm, mineral revenue coming to state government will likely continue to rise from already high levels. Record energy prices continue to make the energy sector of Louisianas economy flourish (but also adversely impact other sectors of our economy).
Congress just passed legislation that could deliver as much as $12 billion in hurricane relief, flood control and coastal erosion construction projects. Those dollars are going to have a positive effect as they ripple through our economy.
On the national level, the housing mortgage meltdown is having a significant impact on the stock market and the economies in states that were experiencing a real estate boom built on a sub prime bubble. The sharp drop of the dollar in relation to the value of other international currencies is also a ticking time bomb. If the nations which have absorbed our trillions spent in buying their exports decide to stop investing in our T-bills and securities, the huge noise we would hear would be the air going out of our economic balloon.
If these trends continue, what will it mean for Louisiana? Short term, things might look rosy, but it would be very unwise of us to spike the ball prematurely in our economic end zone.
For openers, it is reasonable to assume that the door to the bank vault in Washington is now closed to us. Once we receive the billions recently approved by Congress, they will consider the books closed regarding disaster relief for the Bayou State. We will be on our own. Secondly, if the national economy does begin to falter, prices start to fall and energy prices will follow the demand curve downward. That means our state officials could expect a significant downturn in the oil-and-gas dollars that have been flooding into state coffers.
For the next few years, the Road Home money and the taxes generated by the construction projects fueled by the hurricane recovery and the recently enacted Water Bill in Congress will make our state economy look flush. We have several choices regarding how to spend the money. The smartest choices would be to pay down debt, improve our transportation infrastructure and improve our business climate to help grow and attract jobs. The most dangerous choice would be to continue the spending binge that has increased our state budget to the $30 billion level.
We have a new governor and many new faces in our Legislature. They will have an easy time of it financially for their first two years in office. The economic choices they make during that time will determine how pleasant the balance of their time in office will be.

Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are useful tools to deliver low-molecular-weight cargoes into cells; however, their mode of uptake is still controversial. The most efficient CPPs belong to the group of arginine-rich peptides, but a systematic assessment of their potential toxicity is lacking. In this study we combined data on the membrane translocation abilities of oligo-arginines in living cells as a function of their chain length, concentration, stability and toxicity. Using confocal microscopy analysis of living cells we evaluated the transduction frequency of the L-isoforms of oligo-arginines and lysines and then monitored their associated toxicity by concomitant addition of propidium iodide. Whereas lysines showed virtually no transduction, the transduction ability of arginines increased with the number of consecutive residues and the peptide concentration, with L-R9 and L-R10 performing overall best. We further compared the L- and D-R9 isomers and found that the D-isoform always showed a higher transduction as compared to the L-counterpart in all cell types. Notably, the transduction difference between D- and L-forms was highly variable between cell types, emphasizing the need for protease-resistant peptides as vectors for drug delivery. Real-time kinetic analysis of the D- and L-isomers applied simultaneously to the cells revealed a much faster transduction for the D-variant. The latter underlies the fact that the isomers do not mix, and penetration of one peptide does not perturb the membrane in a way that gives access to the other peptide. Finally, we performed short- and long-term cell viability and cell cycle progression analyses with the protease-resistant D-R9. Altogether, our results identified concentration windows with low toxicity and high transduction efficiency, resulting in fully bioavailable intracellular peptides.

Gardiner Expressway repairs will slow traffic for years
City engineers work with traffic experts to ease the pain for drivers caused by $100 million in much-needed repairs.

The future of the crumbling Gardiner Expressway may remain unclear but one thing is certain: short-term repairs to downtown Toronto's main commuter artery can't wait.
There are currently eight projects underway along the 18-kilometre highway: more than $100 million worth of fixes from repairing off-ramps and medians to replacing of 800 metres of actual elevated roadway.
These are not scheduled for completion until late 2015. In the meantime, city engineers are working with traffic experts to ease the pain for drivers by staggering lane closures, limiting construction on surrounding roads and modifying traffic signals on streets in the vicinity of the Gardiner in the event of a backup.
"Obviously, where the city is at right now, traffic and congestion are huge issues, and we have to be very cognizant about how we minimize congestion," said Stephen Buckley, general manager of transportation services.
But no matter the outcome of an environmental assessment now underway, drivers are seeing just the beginning of years of orange pylons, lane closures and added congestion.
Drivers have already experienced disruptions on Lake Shore Blvd. E., where crews are nearly finished repairing the concrete box girders that hold up the deck of the expressway from York St. to Lower Jarvis St.
Interim repairs to the eastern end of the Gardiner, expected to be completed by late December on the eastbound side, will resume next spring on the westbound side, resulting in another round of lane closures.
Beginning in December, workers will begin replacing the median separating the eastbound lanes from the westbound lanes from Dufferin Ave. to Ellis Ave. Until that wraps up next May, one westbound lane will be closed during the morning rush hour, and lane sizes will be reduced during the afternoon rush hour. Traffic may be reduced to two lanes in each direction overnight.
The replacement of 800 metres of deck from Strachan Ave. to Spadina Ave., by far the most significant project planned to date, will be carried out in two 400-metre phases. Apart from a break for the Pan-Am Games, traffic will be reduced by one lane in each direction along the busy western stretch from early next year until the end of 2015.
Meanwhile, from April to December 2014, three bridges in the western portion of the Gardiner will be refurbished, closing a lane in each direction at those locations.
Buckley predicts slowdowns resulting from these projects will persuade many drivers to switch to public transit or stagger their work hours so as to avoid rush-hour.
His advice to those with no other option but to brave the Gardiner: "Be patient."
