Serratia marcescens, a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by production of a nondiffusible red pigment. Serratia marcescens 2354 (ATCC 25419) was production and purification a high concentration of red pigments when growing on Cang's soytone (CS) culture broth with soytone and ethanol. The optimal temperature and intial pH range for the production of the red pigments were $28^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5, respectively. The red pigments was separated and purified through organic solvents extraction. Characterization of the red pigments is studied by UV-spectrophotometer at ${\lambda}_{max}$ 537 nm. The HPLC-Mass analysis of the partially purified compounds showed two major peaks with the molecular masses of 537 and 565 g. The red pigments were stable at room temperature under the acidic pH (up to pH 6) but were unstable at the strong alkaline condition. And red pigments were stable at sun light.

Interpenerating Polymer Networks (IPNs) are unique type of polymer blend, synthesized by swelling a crossed polymer (Epoxy) with second polymer (Silicon) and also we adopted Urethane as the second polymer. The relationship between dielectric and mechanical properties of high temperature curing IPNs(E/S, E/U) are investigated. The ratios of weight that we formed we re two kind of thing, one (E/S) about 1[wt%]. 3[wt%], 5[wt%], 7[wt%], 10[wt%], and the other (E/U) about 5[wt%], 15[wt%], 25[wt%]. It was heat-cured for 24hours at $100^{\circ}C$ 48 hours at $10^{\circ}C$, 5 hours at $130^{\circ}C$, 15hours at $130^{\circ}C$ in E/S and also for 5 hours at $130^{\circ}C$ in E/U. From the viewpoint of dielectric and mechanical properties, the optimum condition is obtained from the sample cured for 5hours at $130^{\circ}C$ for 1[wt%] in the E/S, and also obtained from the sample cure d for 5 hours at $130^{\circ}C$ in E/U.

The cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-modified montmorillonite (MMT) was synthesized via a novel "dissolution and reassembly" method. To determine the optimal formula, the adsorption of C.I. Reactive Red 2 (X3B) with CTAB/MMT was investigated. The optimal CTAB/MMT nanocomposite was used to remove 2,6-dichlorophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The adsorption results can be described by Langmuir isotherm, and the adsorption capacities were 200 mg/g and 125 mg/g for 2,6-dichlorophenol and p-nitrophenol, respectively. To realize the quick separation and recycle, the magnetic CTAB/MMT was further strategized and synthesized. The adsorption equilibrium time was 15 min for both contaminants; the ions' strength showed a little bit of influence on the adsorption performance. In addition, compared with acidic condition, neutral condition was more beneficial to the adsorption reaction. Due to the addition of $Fe_3O_4$, the adsorption capacities of this magnetic nanocomposite for 2,6-dichlorophenol and p-nitrophenol were a little bit decreased, which were 170 mg/g and 91 mg/g, respectively. However, the magnetic nanocomposite can be separated within 30 s under an external magnetic field, which would be useful in the practical application.

Background and purpose: Bell‘s Palsy is a condition that causes the facial muscles to weaken or become paralyzed. It's caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve, and is not permanent. The aim of this study is to be convinced of differences between facial electrodermal activities of paralyzed side and those of normal side in acute stage of Bell's Palsy patients Methods: Electrodermal activity (EDA) was performed within 1 week after the onset of facial palsy and facial nerve electromyography (EMG) at 2 weeks after the onset. The recovery of facial nerve function was documented by House and Brackmann grading. All the patients were followed up weekly until recovery or up to 6 weeks. Results: There was significant differences (conductivity A: t=3.319, p=0.002; conductivity C: t=2.699, p=0.010) between facial electrodermal conductivities of paralyzed side and those of normal side in acute stage of Bell's Palsy patients (N=45). And the result showed that logarithmic scale of electrodermal conductivity A value ratio obviousely decreased with logarithmic scale of EMG zygomatic branch amplitude ratio (r=-0.472, p=0.143); logarithmic scale of capacitance B, logarithmic scale of EMG temporal branch amplitude ratio (r=-0.422, p=0.133); logarithmic scale of conductivity C, logarithmic scale of EMG buccal branch amplitude ratio (r=-0.545, p=0.083) (N=12). Conclusion: Electrodermal conductivities increased in paralyzed facial side in acute stage of Bell's Palsy patients.

The present study was peformed to determine the hydrolysis rate constants and degradation products of phosphamidon and proffnofos by the OECD method. Hydrolysis rate constants of phosphamidon in pH 4, pH 7, and pH 9 buffer solutions at 25 and 40$^{\circ}$C were 0.0020, 0.0022, 0.0049 and 0.0040, 0.0050, 0.0150, respectively. Hydrolysis rate of phosphamidon was accelerated by temprerature change under same pH conditions, and half-life of phosphamidon in pH 9 at 40。C was 3 times faster than that at 25。C. Hydrolysis rate of phosphamidon in alkaline solution(pH 9) was 2~4 times faster than that in acidic solution(pH 4) and neutral solution(pH 7) under same temperature. Hydrolysis rate constants of profenofos in pH 4, pH 7, and pH 9 buffer solutions at 25 and 40。C were 0.0022, 0.0047, 0.0860 and 0.0035, 0.0086, 0.1245, respectively. Hydrolysis rate of profenofos was accelerated by temprerature change under same pH conditions. Hydrolysis rate of profenofos in alkaline solution(pH 9) was 15~40 times faster than in acidic solution(pH 4) and neutral solution(pH 7) under same temperature condition, and half-life of profenofos was very fast within 8 hours. The hydrolysis rate of profenofos was faster than that of phosphamidon. In order to identify hydrolysis products, the extracts of degradation products were analyzed by GC/MS. The mass spectra of hydrolysis products of phosphamidon were at m/z 153 and 149, those of the profenofos were at m/z 208 and 240, respectively. The hydrolysis products of phosphamidon were O, O-dimethyl phosphate(DMP) and N, N-diethylchloroacetamide, and those of profenofos were 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol and O-ethyl-S-propyl phosphate.

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of air flow and heat transfer caused by trapezoid rods array in impinging air jet system. In this study, trapezoid rods have been set up on front of flat plate to act as a turbulence promoter. Local Nusselt numbers were determined as a function of three parameters: (a) the space from rods to heating surface(C=1, 2, 4mm), (b) the pitch between each rods(P=30, 40, 50mm), (c) the distance from nozzle exit to flat plate(H/B=2, 6, 10). And this research compared the above with the experiment without trapezoid rods. As a result, heat transfer performance was best under the condition of C=1mm and as the pitch is 30mm. In this case, maximum rate of heat transfer augmentation is about 1.9 times greater compared to that without trapezoid rods.

A cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme complex-producing alkalothermoanaerobacterium strain, Tepidimicrobium xylanilyticum BT14, is described. The cell was Grampositive, rod-shaped, and endospore-forming. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis and various lines of biochemical and physiological properties, the strain BT14 is a new member of the genus Tepidimicrobium. The strain BT14 cells had the ability to bind to Avicel, xylan, and corn hull. The pH and temperature optima for growth were 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The strain BT14 was able to use a variety of carbon sources. When the bacterium was grown on corn hulls under an anaerobic condition, a cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme complex was produced. Crude enzyme containing cellulase and xylanase of the strain BT14 was active in broad ranges of pH and temperature. The optimum conditions for cellulase and xylanase activities were pH 8.0 and 9.0 at $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crude enzyme had the ability to bind to Avicel and xylan. The analysis of native-PAGE and native-zymograms indicated the cellulosebinding protein showing both cellulase and xylanase activities, whereas SDS-PAGE zymograms showed 4 bands of cellulases and 5 bands of xylanases. Evidence of a cohesinlike amino acid sequence seemed to indicate that the protein complex shared a direct relationship with the cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum. The crude enzyme from the strain BT14 showed effective degradation of plant biomass. When grown on corn hulls at pH 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$ under anaerobic conditions, the strain BT14 produced ethanol and acetate as the main fermentation products.

A bacterial strain, producing extracellular inulin fructotransferase which converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride (DFA) was isolated from soil and presumed as Enterobacter sp. The DFA isolated on Bio-gel P2 column was identified as DFA III by high performance liquid chromatography and $^13C-nmr$ spectroscopy. The enzyme production was induced by inulin and markedly enhanced by the addition of corn steep liquor and $NH_4H_2P0_4$ for nitrogen source. Under optimum condition, the enzyme activity in the culture broth reached at maximum, 0.22 unit/ml after cultivation for 72 hour.

Let f be a measurable function on the unit ball B in $C^n$, then we define a maximal function $M_p(f), 1 \leq p < \infty$, by $$ M_p(f)(\zeta ) = \sup_{\delta > 0}(\frac{1}{\sigma(\beta(\zeta, \delta))} \int_{T(\beta(\zeta, \delta))} $\mid$f(z)$\mid$^p \frac{d\nu(z)}{(1-$\mid$z$\mid$^n})^{1/p} $$ where $\sigma$ denotes the surface area measure on S, the boundary of B, and $T(\beta(\zeta, \delta))$ denotes the tent over the ball $\beta(\zeta, \delta)$. We prove that the maximal operator $M_p$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt class $A_1$.
