In living organisms, many processes are executed through tightly regulated networks of multi-component macromolecular complexes. Furthermore, they showed structural changes in their polymer network in response to pH, which is an important characteristic for stimuli-triggered release of guest molecules. The proposed hydrogels were shown to be compatible to cells, indicating acceptable biocompatibility and an appropriate level of security for use in the biological environments. This morphological characteristic results of the hydrogel deconstruction owing to cleavage of ether bonds of the PEG chains unmaking its 3D polymer network. At pH 2, the PEG-richer hydrogels degraded and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images illustrated less-defined shapes than at pH 7 and 10. The hydrogels showed a pseudo-Fickian behavior, a transport mechanism that occurs when the diffusion coefficient changes with the time and the swelling equilibrium is never fully reached. The pharmacological potential of these hydrogels were demonstrated by determining their water transport profile, modulus of elasticity, and cytotoxicity assay.

If its chains break, the polymer networks are destroyed. In the hydrogel, PEG plays a role as the key constituent. We developed a pH-responsive, hydrogel based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) covalently cross-linked with acrylic acid and NвЂІ,NвЂІ-dimethylacrylamide along with acid-labile groups.

In this article, we provide the details of the linear-inversion method along with numerous illustrative applications on purely anisotropic NMR spectra, both synthetic and experimental two-dimensional spectra correlating the isotropic and anisotropic frequencies. To obtain the optimum tensor parameter distribution, we implement the k-fold cross-validation, a statistical learning method, to determine the hyperparameters of the regularized inverse problem. We also propose an unambiguous representation for the anisotropy parameters using a piecewise polar coordinate system to minimize rank deficiency in the inversion kernel. Because of the ill-conditioned nature of this inverse problem, we investigate the use of the truncated singular value decomposition and the smooth least absolute shrinkage and selection operator based regularization methods, which (a) stabilize the solution and (b) promote sparsity and smoothness in the solution. One important application is the direct inversion of a solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum containing multiple overlapping anisotropic subspectra to obtain a distribution of the tensor parameters. Many linear inversion problems involving Fredholm integrals of the first kind are frequently encountered in the field of magnetic resonance.

35 For half-integer quadrupolar nuclei, this includes techniques such as dynamicangle spinning (DAS), 36-38 multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQ-MAS), 39,40 and satellite-transition MAS (ST-MAS). For uncoupled spin I = 1/2 nuclei, this includes techniques such as 2D One Pulse (TOP) MAS, 23,24 phase adjusted spinning sidebands (PASS), magic-angle turning (MAT), 28,29 extended chemical shift (XCS) modulation, 30, 31 magic-angle hopping (MAH), 32 magic-angle flipping (MAF), 33 Recoupling Of Chemical Shift Anisotropy (ROCSA), 34 and Variable Angle Correlation Spectroscopy (VACSY). 21,22 Two-dimensional NMR methods that separate and correlate the isotropic and the anisotropic frequency contributions into orthogonal dimensions are often used to determine NMR tensor parameters.

Thus, for the same set of R, the multi-dimensional basis subspectra tend to be more distinguishable compared to the onedimensional basis subspectra, leading to less rank deficiency in the kernel, K, and decreased uncertainty when determining the distribution of R.
