    Oral history interview with Carlyle H. Smith, 1994 August 8 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Carlyle H. Smith on August 8, 1994. The interview took place in Boston, Massachusetts, and was conducted by Robert F. Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview ROBERT F. BROWN: Well, we're interviewing today, Carlyle H. Smith, and this is Robert Brown, the interviewer for the archives of American art, and we're interviewing at the archives' regional center in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 8, 1994. Now, you've said that you were born in 1912 in Torrington, Connecticut. You were born to a family that had been in that area for a very long time, is that right? CARLYLE H. SMITH: Yes. That'd been there since the early 1700s. And fact is, I think my dad was the first one of the family to ever leave the Torrington area. ROBERT F. BROWN: Now, Torrington was, what, a small manufacturing town? CARLYLE H. SMITH: It was a very busy manufacturing town at one time.

The Golden Spike club has a three day show, with Friday dedicated to having local kids bussed in from the schools. I saw lines of kids waiting for the spin a wheel and other kids-oriented events. Overall the club had a great show that was packed most of the weekend. They also had guest speakers and field trips organized for most of the days. My family and I took advantage of the Sunday field trip to Wendover UT, looking for a plume agate. We have been cutting some of our agate and wish to thank all of the folks that spent time organizing and leading out in the field trips. I am guessing that most of you have never been to an NFMS annual business meeting and don’t know exactly what goes on at this meeting. Because of this, I thought I would give you a little information about it. The meeting happened on Friday of the show and is lead by the president and other officers of the NFMS.

  • Degradation Behavior of Polymers Used As Coating Materials for Drug Delivery—A Basic Review
    polymers Review Degradation Behavior of Polymers Used as Coating Materials for Drug Delivery—A Basic Review Anita Ioana Visan * , Gianina Popescu-Pelin and Gabriel Socol * Lasers Department, National Institute for Lasers, Plasma and Radiation Physics, 077190 Magurele, Ilfov, Romania; gianina.popescu@inflpr.ro * Correspondence: anita.visan@inflpr.ro (A.I.V.); gabriel.socol@inflpr.ro (G.S.); Tel.: +40-21-457-44-67 (G.S.) Abstract: The purpose of the work was to emphasize the main differences and similarities in the degradation mechanisms in the case of polymeric coatings compared with the bulk ones. Combined with the current background, this work reviews the properties of commonly utilized degradable polymers in drug delivery, the factors affecting degradation mechanism, testing methods while offer- ing a retrospective on the evolution of the controlled release of biodegradable polymeric coatings. A literature survey on stability and degradation of different polymeric coatings, which were thoroughly evaluated by different techniques, e.g., polymer mass loss measurements, surface, structural and chemical analysis, was completed. Moreover, we analyzed some shortcomings of the degradation behavior of biopolymers in form of coatings and briefly proposed some solving directions to the main existing problems (e.g., improving measuring techniques resolution, elucidation of complete mathematical analysis of the different degradation mechanisms). Deep studies are still necessary on the dynamic changes which occur to biodegradable polymeric coatings which can help to envisage the future performance of synthesized films designed to be used as medical devices with application in drug delivery.
