The present investigation was intended to study the state of Pm-147 in solution and its adsorbed state on membrane filters by varying the concentrations of Pm-147 solution and its pH. Also, the study on the coprecipitation of Pm-147 with $Fe(OH)_3$ was carried out by varying, amounts of $Fe(OH)_3$ and pH of the solution. The carrier-free Pm-147 exists in an ionic state of $Pm^{3+}$ in solution, and is adsorbed on membrane filter in filtration process. The adsorbed state of Pm-147 on the membrane filter shows various ionic state at a constant ionic strength of 0.1M NaCl, that is, $Pm^{3+}$ state exists until pH value of 5.0, then gradually $Pm(OH)^{2+}$ state appears between pH value of 5.0 to 6.0, and the state of $Pm(OH)_2^+$ and $Pm(OH)_3$ would be expected at the higher pH value of 6.0. Coprecipitation of Pm-147 on $Fe(OH)_3$ is an adsorption penomenon in an ionic state of $Pm^{3+}$ in acidic condition. At higher pH and larger amount of Fe carrier, the adsorbed state of Pm-147 shows $Pm(OH)^{2+}$ and $Pm(OH)_2^+$ state. As a results of the present studies, it is seen that the characteristic of carrier free radioisotopes is not due to the radioactivity, but due to the adsorption of ultramicroquantity of radioisopes. Therefore, the knowledge on the ultramicroquantity of radioisotopes could help for the solution of decontamination in handing and chemical procedure with radioisotopes.

Antioxidative activities of the extracts from Schizandra Chinesis Baillon (Omija) with various solvent were compared with some commercial antioxidants. AS (antioxidative index; induction period of oil containing extract/induction period of control oil) of Omija extracts from five kinds of solvents (MeOH, EtOH, BtOH, EA, PE) and other antioxidants were shown as following orders: 0.02% BHT > 0.05% EA > 0.01% MeOH > 0.05% EtOH > 0.1% EA > 0.05% PE > 0.05％ BuOH >> 0.02% alpha-tocopherol. Antioxidative effects of 0.05% EA and 0.05% MeOH extracts during autoxidation (60${\pm}$ 2$^{\circ}C$) were higher than those (If the other extracts but were not greater than that of 0.02% BHT. However, Al of EA and MeOH, EtOH extracts during thermal oxidation (180${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$) were greater than that of BHT. The antioxidant effect of alpha-tocopherol showed no apparent difference or a prooxidant effect as compared with result of control.

In this study, aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$) was synthesized by Bayer process and sodium contained in $Al(OH)_3$ was removed with the acid solution such as HCl and acetic acid for the synthesis of high purity alumina. The bauxite produced in Queensland of Australia was used for the production of alumina by Bayer, and was crushed to a particle size of below 10 um by attrition mill. The crushed bauxite was treated in sodium hydroxide solution of 5 N for the elution of aluminum component. The elution of aluminum from bauxite was carried out at $140^{\circ}C$ and 3.4 atm in autoclave. The sample solution was separated to the red mud and liquid solution by filter paper. The elution of aluminum from bauxite was confirmed with changing a structure and aluminum content in both bauxite and red mud analyzed by XRD and EDX. Aluminum contained in the separated solution was crystallized to $Al(OH)_3$ with the addition of aluminum hydroxide used as the seed material. $Al(OH)_3$ powder obtained during the crystallization process was purified by several times washing with distillated water. It was also confirmed that the sodium remained in $Al(OH)_3$ powder is removed with acid solution. The purity of $Al(OH)_3$ powder produced in this study was 99.3% and the content of sodium was reduced to approximately 0.009% after the acid treatment.

It was investigated that effects of NaOH concentration on synthesis of mesoporous materials using municipal solid waste incinerator ash slag (MSWI-ash slag). In order to increase the purity and maximize the amount of extracted Si content the raw MSWI-ash slag was mechanically activated. Extraction of Si from the MSWI-ash slag was carried out by alkali treatment using concentrated NaOH solution, which varied from 1M to 4M. Physical properties (i.e., pore size, specific surface area and total pore volume) of the synthesized mesoporous silica were also evaluated as a function of NaOH concentration via BET, SEM, TEM and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses. Over the entire range of NaOH concentration investigated (i.e., 1-4M), the synthesized mesoporous materials were determined to be SBA-15, which exhibited a hexagonal structure with the pore size of approximately 7 nm. On the other hand, specific surface area and total pore volume increased with NaOH concentration up to 3M while the values decreased at 4M, indicating that the optimal NaOH concentration for the synthesized mesoporous silica was approximately 3M. Further comparison analysis between two conditions (3M versus 4M) showed that the decrease in two physical properties at 4M NaOH concentration was likely due to the potential inhibition by excess Na ions on the formation of mesophase and the consequent increase of pore wall thickness by remaining Si ions.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is widely used as a food material. Although various physiological activities of rosemary have been reported, there have been no studies on the physiological activity of solvent extracts with different polarities. Rosemary extracts were obtained by extraction of dried powder using 0%, 25%, 50%, 70%, and 95% ethanol (EtOH) in distilled water, methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane. As these ratios of EtOH are generally chosen by default and scarcely optimized, we investigated the impact of the composition of EtOH in distilled water on extract-related characteristics, such as DPPH free radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition, on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and inhibition of tyrosinase. Adipogenesis inhibition was highest at 70% EtOH. DPPH scavenging activity and inhibition of tyrosinase activity were reduced with 50% EtOH in water. However, inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was higher in 50% EtOH in water. The best solvents in terms of DPPH scavenging activity, inhibition of tyrosinase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, and differentiation of adipocytes obtained with different concentrations of EtOH, although a lower similar activities were found with 50% ethanol. Considering the extraction solvents, a ratio of EtOH in water gives different content and constituents of compounds. These differences will give activities inhibition of adipogenesis, tyrosinase, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, and DPPH scavenging activity.

The diamond thin film was deposited on Si(100) substrate from$CH_3OH/H_2O$mixtured gas using a hot filament chemical vapor deposition(HFCVD) method. The deposition condition for samples has been varried with the$CH_3OH/H_2O$composition. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Raman spectroscopy has been employed for the sample analysis. The diamond sample has been obtained below 20Pa with$CH_3OH/H_2O$mixtured gas. The crystallinity of diamond film improved as the composition $CH_3OH$decreases from 60Vol% to 52Vol%, and the sample structure changed from the cauliflower to the diamond structure. But the sample structure was becomes cauliflower at 50Vol% of in$CH_3OH$ in the $CH_3OH/H_2O$. It was shown that the$CH_3OH$ has threshold composition.

Porous poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated by salt leaching method. The PCL scaffolds were treated with aqueous NaOH for 0h, 2h, 4h, 8h, and 12h at $40^{\circ}C$. The NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds were dipped in $CaCl_2$ and $K_2HPO_4{\cdot}_3H_2O$ solution alternately three times to induce apatite nuclei onto the surface of the scaffolds. The NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds were immersed into SBF solution for 1day to grow the apatite. The apatite formation were investigated as a fuction of NaOH treatment time. The hydrophilicty and surface area of the PCL scaffolds were increased with NaOH-treatment time. The NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds were successfully formed a dense and uniform bone-like apatite layer after immersion for 1 day in SBF solution.

The estimation of the concentration of hydroxyl radical (OH) in the atmosphere is essential to build atmospheric models and to understand the mechanisms of the reactions involved in OH. Although water vapor is one of the most abundant species in the troposphere, only a few studies have been performed for the reaction of OH and water vapor. Here I demonstrate an ab initio study on the complex forming reation of OH with $H_2O$ in the gas phase performed based on density functional theory to calculate the reaction rate and the energy states of the reactant and the OH-$H_2O$ complex. The structure of the complex, which belongs to the Cs point group, was optimized at global minima. The transition state was not found at the B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory. Rate constants of the forward and the reverse reactions were calculated as $1.1{\times}10^{-16}cm^3\;molecule^{-1}\;s^{-1}$ and $5.3{\times}10^9\;s^{-1}$, respectively. The extremely slow rates of complex forming reaction and the resulting hydrogen atom exchange reaction of OH and $H_2O$, which are consistent with experimentally determined values, imply a negligible possibility of a change in OH reactivity through the title reaction.
