The viscoelastic penetration and tensile behaviour of poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(ethyl acrylate) in the main transition region have been investigated. It was found that the time-temperature superposition could be carried out in the case of the penetration viscoelastic behaviour; the temperature dependence of the penetration and tensile shift factors was the same. The superimposed curves of the penetration and Young modulus allowed us to calculate the dependence of the Poisson ratio and thus to characterize the change in sample volume with deformation. It was demonstrated that the penetration method of determination of the viscoelastic behaviour is equivalent to the tensile method.

The nonlinear viscoelastic response of a PVC-Coated Fabric has been studied. For the needs of the present study, creep and recovery tests in tension of both the warp and the weft directions at the different stress levels were executed while measurements were made of the creep and recovery strain response of the system. For the description of the viscoelastic behaviour of the material, Schapery’s nonlinear viscoelastic model was used. For the description of the nonlinear viscoelastic response and the determination of the nonlinear parameters, a method by using a combination of analytical formulations and numerical procedures based on a modified version of Schapery’s constitutive relationship where an instantaneous plastic and a transient plastic terms were added, has been developed. The method has been successfully applied to the current tests.

Methods are described for sampling and analysing rumen gases. The analysis requires less than 15 minutes for the determination of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulphide, i.e., for all gases occurring in the rumen. The method is sensitive and requires only a small quantity of sample, and the sample volume need not be known. The presence of water or other vapours in the sample does not influence the results. Relative thermal detector responses have been determined for gases which occur in the rumen. These eliminate the necessity for the calibration of gas chromatographs using thermal detection. The first complete analysis of rumen gas is presented.

Relevance. BCRP is an efflux transporter protein that plays an important role in the pharmacokinetics of a wide range of drugs. The BCRP activity in vitro experiments is assessed by the transport of transporter protein substrates (methotrexate, etc.) across the bilipid membrane of cells overexpressingBCRP, for example, Caco-2 cells. The aim is to develop and validate a method for the quantitative determination of the BCRP substrate, methotrexate, in the transport medium of Caco-2 cells by HPLC-MS/MS. Methods. The work was performed on an Ultimate 3000 HPLC chromatograph (ThermoFisher, USA) with a TSQ Fortis tandem mass-selective detector (ThermoFisher, USA). The conditions of chromatographic analysis were as follows: column UCT Selectra C18 4.6 mm * 100 mm 5um, 100A, Selectra C18 Guard Cartridges SLC-18GDC46-5UM, separation temperature 35 °С, flow rate 0.3 ml/min, injected sample volume - 2 μl, analysis time - 10 min. Used a gradient elution: the ratio of the solution of 0.1 % formic acid and acetonitrile was at 0 min 75 and 25 %; 0.4 min 60 and 40 %; 6 minutes 20 and 80 %; 8 minutes 75 and 25 %. Under these conditions, the retention time of methotrexate is 3.11 minutes. Detection conditions: methotrexate - positive ionization mode, 455.15 m / z → 308.125 m / z, collision energy 22.99 V, source fragmentation 5, CID gas pressure 2 mTorr. The extraction of methotrexate from the transport medium (Hanks solution with 25 mM Hepes and 1% dimethyl sulfoxide) after incubation with Caco-2 cells for 3 h was carried out with a mixture of methanol + water in a ratio of 1: 1. Results. The developed method was validated according to the following parameters: selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of quantitative determination, sample transfer, sample stability. The confirmed analytical range of the method was 60 -10,000 nmol / L in the transport medium. Conclusions: a method for the quantitative determination of methotrexate in the transport medium of Caco-2 cells by HPLC-MS / MS was developed and validated.
