Stents cover about 10-15% of vessel luminal surface‚ thus severely limiting the surface area available for drug loading and release. A delicate balance exists between drug release kinetics and drug diffusion and distribution; drug elution is maximal at points adjacent to the struts‚ and increasingly lower levels at points progressively further from the struts‚ creating an uneven activity distribution. Thus‚ stents made from struts

Introduction The reaction rate of a chemical reaction is determined as the change in the concentration of a reactant or product over the change in time. [1] The rate of a reaction is determined by experiment. Many factors influence the rate of a reaction: the nature of the reaction‚ concentration‚ pressure‚ temperature‚ and surface area‚ presence of catalyst and intensity of light. [2] For a chemical reaction‚ the rate law or rate equation is a mathematical expressed equation that links the reaction

shape. Compressibility is the ability to be reduced to a lower volume when force is applied. Fluidity is the ability to flow. By filling a gas container we mean the attainment of shape of the container by gas. Shape defines a definite boundary. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a particle due to its motion. Density is mass per unit volume. 3 Give reasons: (a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept. (b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container. (c) A wooden

C hapter 1 MATTER IN IN OUR SURROUNDINGS As we look at our surroundings‚ we see a large variety of things with different shapes‚ sizes and textures. Everything in this universe is made up of material which scientists have named “matter”. The air we breathe‚ the food we eat‚ stones‚ clouds‚ stars‚ plants and animals‚ even a small drop of water or a particle of sand– each thing is matter. We can also see as we look around that all the things mentioned above occupy space‚ that is

between atoms. C3.3: Heating Impacts Heating increases the kinetic (translational‚ rotational‚ and vibrational) energy of the atoms composing elements and the molecules or ions composing compounds. As the kinetic (translational) energy of the atoms‚ molecules‚ or ions increases‚ the temperature of the matter increases. Heating a sample of a crystalline solid increases the kinetic (vibrational) energy of the atoms‚ molecules‚ or ions. When the kinetic (vibrational) energy becomes great enough‚ the crystalline

“Denaturation of Proteins” Denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose the tertiary structure and secondary structure which is present in their native state‚ by application of some external stress or compound such as a strong acid or base‚ a concentrated inorganic salt‚ an organic solvent (e.g.‚ alcohol or chloroform)‚ or heat. If proteins in a living cell are denatured‚ this results in disruption of cell activity and possibly cell death. Denatured proteins
