The adsorption behavior of 3CaO.$Al_2O_3$-sodium gluconate-$H_2O$ system by measuring adsorp-tion isotherm DTA and IR sepctra. The adsorbed amount of sodium gluconate on 3CaO.$Al_2O_3$ is exceedingly larger than 3CaO.$SiO_2$ and portland cement. From the DAT experiment the formation of complex is observed by the characteristic exothermic peak of the complex at 45$0^{\circ}C$ It is now strong deduced that the chemical bonding between gluconate anion and 3CaO.$Al_2O_3$ should be coordinative due to the complex formation on the surface 3CaO.$Al_2O_3$ from the IR spectra of sod-ium gluconate only and 3CaO.$Al_2O_3$ -sodium gluconate-$H_2O$.

$Eu^{3+}$-doped $Y_2O_3$ red phosphor was synthesized in a flux method using the chemicals $Y_2O_3,\;Eu_2O_3,\;H_3BO_3$ and $BaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$. The effect of a flux addition on the preparation of $Y_2O_3:Eu_{3+}$ red phosphor used as a cold cathode fluorescence lamp was investigated. $H_3BO_3$ and $BaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ fluxes were used due to their different melting points. The crystallinity, thermal properties, morphology, and emission characteristics were measured using XRD, TG-DTA, SEM, and a photo-excited spectrometer. Under UV excitation of 254 nm, $Eu_2O_3$ 3.7 mol% doped $Y_2O_3$ exhibited a strong narrow-band red emission, peaking at 612 nm. From this result, the phosphor synthesized by firing $Y_2O_3$ with 3.7 mol% of $Eu_2O_3$, 0.25 mol% of $H_3BO_3$ and 0.5 mol% of $BaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ fluxes at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours had a larger particle size of $4{\mu}m$ on average compared to the phosphor of the $H_3BO_3$ flux alone. In addition, a phosphor synthesized by the two fluxes together had a rounder corner shape, which led to the maximum emission intensity.

Copper inhibited PSII-mediated O2 evolution (H2OlongrightarrowDCIP, H2OlongrightarrowSiMo) but not PSImediated O2 uptake(DCIP. Asc.longrightarrowMV) in isolated Chinese cabbage chloroplasts. Copper toxicity on PSII-mediated O2 evolution was higher at alkaline condition than at acidic condition and was inhanced by light illumination after copper treatment. The increased toxicity by light illumination was not recovered by subsequent dark treatment. The inhibitory effect of copper on H2OlongrightarrowDCIP reaction was higher than that on H2OlongrightarrowSiMo reaction. This result suggests that there may be another inhibitory site of copper on PSII other than water oxidizing side of PSII.

Acrylic acid was graft-copolymerized on polyethylene film in the presence of additives such as acid and $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ using peroxide grafting technique by ${\gamma}$-ray and electron beam, and the effect of $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ and acid on the grafting yield was evaluated. The grafting mechanism and the physical property of grafted films were also examined. The results showed that the inclusion of $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ in acidified acrylic acid grafting solution was extremely beneficial and led to a most unusual enhancement effect in the radiation grafting. In the other hand, inclusion of mineral acid in the grafting solution in the absence of $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ could not lead to he suitable grafting reaction by the severe homopolymerization of acrylic acid. The addition of $H_2SO_4$, and HCl led to much higher grafting yield than $HNO_3$and $CH_3COOH$. It was shown that grafting yield of ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated-polyethylene was higher than that of electron beam irradiated polyethylene.

The combining process of UV irradiation and H$_2$O$_2$ was used to investigate characteristics of cefaclor decomposition in the aquatic environment. The separate mixing tank was used to minimize the decreasing effective of contact area caused by sampling. Four baffles were installed inside the UV reactor for the complete mixing of the sample and outside of the reactor was wrapped with aluminum foil to protect the emission of photon energy. Production of OH radical was measured using pCBA(p-Chlorobenzoic acid) indirectly and rate constants were withdrawn pseudo-frist order reaction. Optimum condition for the maximum production of OH radical was found to be pH 3, hydrogen peroxide of 5 mmol/L and recirculation rate of 400 mL/min. Pseudo-frist order reaction rate constant was 0.1051 min$^{-1}$. In the optimum condition, cefaclor was completely decomposed within 40 min and rate constant was 0.093 min$^{-1}$. Decomposition by OH radical producted intermediate anions such as chloride, nitrate, sulfite and acetic acid and phenylglycine. After 6 hr most cefaclor was decomposed by UV/H$_2$O$_2$ process and converted to CO$_2$ and H$_2$O, resulting of operation in the decrease of TOC and acetic acid and the disappearance of phenylglycine.

For the qualitative analysis of peptides in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), O-methylisourea, which is chemically bound to a specific site of an amino acid (e.g. lysine) of peptides and improves the intensities of the modified peptides, is frequently used prior to the MALDI-MS analysis of peptides, where the process is called guanidination. The reaction efficiency of guanidination varies depending on the reaction conditions. We investigated the efficiencies of guanidination of tryptically digested myoglobin using three different reagents (O-methylisourea, S-methylisothiourea, and 2-methyl-2-imidazoline) at $65^{\circ}C$ for 1 h with various pH conditions (pH 4.0, 7.0, and 10.5), where O-methylisourea and pH 10.5 were found to be most effective. The guanidination with O-methylisourea at pH 10.5 were then applied with different reaction conditions such as heating, microwave and ultrasound at various times, where heating for 60 min was found to be most effective. Conclusively, guanidination with O-methylisourea at $65^{\circ}C$ for 1 h at pH 10.5 was found to be the optimized condition.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 cause hemorrhagic colitis and the extraintestinal complication of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, with their higher incidence occurring in children. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of E. coli O157:H7 is very important to make IgG anti-LPS with bactericidal activity. To identify the characteristic of E. coli OI57:H7, we isolated 60 MDa plasmid and amplified stx genes of shiga-like toxin (Stx) 1, 2 of E. coli O157:H7 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Using the simple purification method which contained phenol extract, ethanol precipitation and gel filtration steps, the LPS of E. coli O157:H7 was isolated and purified. Finally, we confirmed the purity of LPS through SDS-PAGE and silver nitrate staining.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dispersion of silicon nitride powder with 5wt% $A1_2$$O_3$ and 5wt% $Y_2$$O_3$ on the microstructure of a sintered body. $Si_3$$N_4$ powder was dispered in a distilled water with varing pH.Zeta potential was measured and the dispersion states were directly observed by SEM. Green bodies were obtained by slip-casting and fired at $1750^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Microstructures of fired specimens were observed by SEM. The result were that the specimen prepared from the dispersions with pH 5 and 10 showed the best densification.

Catalytic ignition of $H_2/O_2/CO_2$ mixtures over platinum catalyst is experimentally investigated by using microcalorimetry. For comparison, $N_2$ and Ar is also used as diluent gas. The gas mixture flows toward platinum foil heated by electric current at atmosphere pressure and ambient temperature. The ignition temperature range 350-445K according to the fuel ratio, dilution ratio and diluent gas. It increases as the fuel ratio and dilution ratio increase. $H_2/O_2$ mixture with $CO_2$ ignites at higher temperature than with other diluents by 30-50K. Several experimental evidences show the inhibition effects of $CO_2$ in $H_2-O_2$ heterogeneous reaction is considerable

This study was conducted to analyze the protective capacity of cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), which is rich in mulberry and blackberry as an anthocyanin pigment. In this study, we found that treatment with C3G significantly reduced ROS production in hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)-treated$ HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, treatment with C3G significantly increased the cell viability in a dose-dependent manner in $H_2O_2-treated$ HepG2 cells. Moreover, treatment with C3G dose-dependently decreased the release of LDH and activation of caspase-3 in HepG2 cells treated with $H_2O_2$. Furthermore, the DNA damage in $H_2O_2-treated$ HepG2 cells was decreased by C3G treatment when compared with the control group in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, treatment with C3G recovered the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase in $H_2O_2-treated$ HepG2 cells. To summarize, these results suggest that C3G protects cells from $H_2O_2-induced$ oxidative damage by activating antioxidant enzymes.
