Biosensor Response

A model of biosensor containing three immobilized enzymes utilizing consecutive substrate conversion in the chain was developed. The modeling was performed at an internal diffusion limitation and a steadystate condition. The calculations showed that significant response of biosensors was produced if diffusion modules were larger than 1 for all enzyme reactions. Due to diffusion limitation the apparent stability of biosensor response increased many times in comparison to stability of the most labile enzyme of the chain.

The kinetics of methane-oxidizing bioreactors for the degradation of toxic organics are modeled. Calculations of the fluxes of methane and toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons were made using a biofilm model. The model simulated the effects of competition by toxics and mediane on their enzymatic oxidation by the methane monooxygenase. Dual-competitive-substrate/diffusion kinetics were used to model biofilm co-metabolism, integrating equations of the following form:where S1 and S2 are the local concentrations of methane and toxic compound, respectively, and r and K are the maximum uptake rates and Monod coefficients, and x is the distance into the biofilm.

Maximum Stresses

ABSTRACTStresses are introduced in crystals at interphase boundaries where steps improve the registry of atoms. A model and mathematical analysis based on an approach previously taken by van der Merwe and Shiflet1–4 of the problem incorporating a coherent step are presented. Computed distributions of stresses, strains, dilatation and energy density in the form of contours and nets are given for a coherent monatomic step. It is concluded that the maximum stresses are quite large and the fields decay fairly rapidly with distance from the steps, the gradient of dilatation around steps will significantly affect diffusion kinetics of impurities and the strain energy seems too low to significantly enhance chemical processes.
