High purity, submicron BaTiO3 powder was prepared by a hydrothermal technique using Ba(OH)2.8H2O, TiCl4 and NH4OH as starting raw materials. The submicron BaTiO3 powder was synthesized at 130~23$0^{\circ}C$ for 2.5h to yield highly crystalline particles with a narrow particle distribution. The mole ratio of Ba(OH)2.8H2O/TiO(OH)2 was 1.5. It is possible to obtain BaTiO3 with Ba : Ti=1.00$\pm$0/01. The samples densified well at 13$25^{\circ}C$, showing a uniform and fine grain structure. The grain size ranged between 0.3 and 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The products obtained by hydrothermal treatment at various temperatures from 130 to 23$0^{\circ}C$ were characterized by XRD, DTA, BET and SEM etc.

We investigate properties of maser emission for 3373 O-rich AGB stars. We divide the sample stars into four different groups whether they were detected by OH, SiO and $H_2O$ maser emission or not. To understand the nature of the maser sources, we present various infrared two-color diagrams (2CDs) using IRAS, near infrared and AKARI data. For each group, we compare the positions on the various infrared 2CDs with theoretical models. We find that OH maser sources generally show higher color indices and larger dust optical depths than SiO or $H_2O$ maser sources. This could be due to differences of the mass-loss rates and/or variability which may influence the maser pumping mechanisms.

Partail oxidation(POX) of n-butane was investigated in this research by employing ceria-promoted Ni/calcium hydroxyapatite catalysts ($Ce_xNi_{2.5}Ca_{10}(OH)_2(PO_4)_6$ ; x = $0.1{\sim}0.3$) which had recently been reported to exhibit good catalytic performance in POX of methane and propane. The experiments were carried out with changing ceria content, $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio and temperature. As the $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ feed ratio increased up to 2.75, n-$C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H_2$ yield increased and the selectivity of methane and other hydrocarbons decreased. But with $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ = 3.0, $n-C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H_2$ yield decreased. This is considered due to that too much oxygen may inhibit the reduction of Ni or induce the oxidation of Ni, which results in poor catalytic activity. The optimum $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio lay between 2.50 and 2.75. $Ce_{0.1}Ni_{2.5}Ca_{10}(OH)_2(PO_4)_6$ showed the highest $n-C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H-2$ yield on the whole. In durability tests, higher hydrogen yield and better catalyst stability were obtained with the $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio of 2.75 than with the ratio of 2.5.

The diamond thin films was deposited on Si(100) substrate by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD) method using supplied the $CH_{3}OH/H_{2}O$ mixtured gas with excess H_{2} gas. The role of hydrogen ion as the growth mechanism of the diamond deposit was examined and compared the $CH_{3}OH/H_{2}O$ with the $CH_4/H_2$. Pressures in the range of $1.1\sim290{\times}10^2$ Pa were applied and using $3.4\sim4.4$ kw power. It was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) and Raman spectroscopy The H ion was etching the graphite and restrained from $sp^3\;to\;sp^2$. But excess $H_2$ gas was not helped diamond deposit using $CH_{3}OH/H_{2}O$ mixtured gas. It was shown that the role of hydrogen ion of deposited diamond films using $CH_{3}OH/H_{2}O$ was different from $CH_4/H_2$.

$Al_2O_3$ films with the thickness of 50 nm were fabricated on 4H-SiC by aerosol deposition, and their electrical properties were characterized with different post annealing conditions. As a result, the $Al_2O_3$ film annealed in $N_2$ atmosphere showed decreased fixed charge density at the interface area between the $Al_2O_3$ and SiC, and increased leakage currents due to the generation of oxygen vacancies. From this result, it was confirmed that proper $N_2$ and $O_2$ ratio for the post annealing process is important.

$LiNiO_2$ is prepared by heating LiOH $H_2O$ and $Ni(OH)_2$ (mole ratio 1:1). In this study, we investigated X-ray diffraction, and charge/discharge property heat treatment condition and conductive agent sort and volume of $LiNiO_2$ prepared at various temperature and time. All $LiNiO_2$ prepared at this study showed hexagonal structure. In charge/discharge capacities, heated at $O_2$ than air and $750^{\circ}C$ than $700^{\circ}C$, specific capacity is higher. Therefore, when preliminary heat at $650^{\circ}C$ $O_2$ and heat at $750^{\circ}C$ carried out, charge/discharge property is best.

In this study, combined effect of airflow rate, $TiO_2$ concentration, solution pH and $Ca^{+2}$ addition on HA (humic acid) fouling in submerged, photocatalytic hollow-fiber microfiltraiton was investigated systematically. Results showed that UV irradiation alone without $TiO_2$ nanoparticles could reduce HA fouling by 40% higher than the fouling obtained without UV irradiation. Compared to the HA fouling without UV irradiation and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, the HA fouling reduction was about 25% higher only after the addition of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Both adsorptive and hydrophilic properties of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles for the HA can be involved in mitigating membrane fouling. It was also found that the aeration itself had lowest effect on fouling mitigation while the HA fouling was affected significantly by solution pH. Transient behavior of zeta potential at different solution pHs suggested that electrostatic interactions between HA and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles should improve photocatalytic efficiency on HA fouling. $TiO_2$ concentration was observed to be more important factor than airflow rate to reduce HA fouling, implying that surface reactivity on $TiO_2$ naoparticles should be important fouling mitigation mechanisms in submerged, photocatalyic microfiltraiton. This was further supported by investigating the effect of $Ca^{+2}$ addition on fouling mitigation. At higher pH (= 10), addition of $Ca^{+2}$ can play an important role in bridging between HA and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and increasing surface reactivity on nanoparticles, thereby reducing membrane fouling.

In this study, we focused to identify whether eupatilin (5,7-dihydroxy-3',4',6-trimethoxyflavone), an extract from Artemisia argyi folium, prevents $H_2O_2$-induced injury of cultured feline esophageal epithelial cells. Cell viability was measured by the conventional MTT reduction assay. Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the expression of 5-lipoxygenase by $H_2O_2$ treatment in the absence and presence of inhibitors. When cells were exposed to 600 ${\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$ for 24 hours, cell viability was decreased to 40%. However, when cells were pretreated with 25~150 ${\mu}M$ eupatilin for 12 hours, viability was significantly restored in a concentration-dependent manner. $H_2O_2$-treated cells were shown to express 5-lipoxygenase, whereas the cells pretreated with eupatilin exhibited reduction in the expression of 5-lipoxygenase. The $H_2O_2$-induced increase of 5-lipoxygenase expression was prevented by SB202190, SP600125, or NAC. We further demonstrated that the level of leukotriene $B_4$ ($LTB_4$) was also reduced by eupatilin, SB202190, SP600125, NAC, or nordihydroguaiaretic acid (a lipoxygenase inhibitor) pretreatment. $H_2O_2$ induced the activation of p38MAPK and JNK, this activation was inhibited by eupatilin. These results indicate that eupatilin may reduce $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity, and 5-lipoxygenase expression and $LTB_4$ production by controlling the p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways through antioxidative action in feline esophageal epithelial cells.

Objectives : This study was performed to determine if Orostachys japonicus A. Berger aquacupuncture (OjB) provides the protective effect against the loss of celi viability and DNA damage induced by oxidant in renal proximal tubular cells. Methods : The cell viability was evaluated by a MTT reduction assay and DNA damage was estimated by measuring double stranded DNA breaks in opossum kidney (OK) cells, an established proximal tubular cell line. Lipid peroxidation was determined by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation. Results : $H_2O_2$ increased the loss of cell viability in a time-dependent manner, which were prevented by 0.1% OjB. The protective effect of OjB was dose-dependent over concentration range of 0.05-0.5%. $H_2O_2$ caused ATP depletion and DNA damage, which were prevented by OjB and the hydrogen peroxide scavenger catalase. The loss of cell viability by $H_2O_2$ was not affected by the antioxidant DPPD, but lipid peroxidation by the oxidant was completely inhibited by DPPD. Conclusions : These data suggest that $H_2O_2$-induced death results from a lipid peroxidation-independent mechanism and the protective effect of OjB is not associated with its antioxidant activity.
