This work studies the synthesis of birnessite (${\delta}-MnO_2$), a catalyst of oxidative-coupling reactions, from the powder of spent alkaline manganese batteries (SABP, <8 mesh) and evaluate its reactivity for 1-naphthol (1-NP) removals. Manganese oxides using commercial reagents ($MnSO_4$, $MnCl_2$) and the acid birnessite (A-Bir) by McKenzie method were also synthesized, and their crystallinity and reactivity for 1-NP were compared with one another. 96% Mn and 98% Zn were extracted from SABP by acid leaching at the condition of solid/liquid (S/L) ratio 1:10 in $1.0M\;H_2SO_4+10.5%\;H_2O_2$ at $60^{\circ}C$. From the acid leaching solution, 69% (at pH 8) and 94.3% (pH>13) of Mn were separated by hydroxide precipitation. Optimal OH/Mn mixing ratio (mol/mol) for the manganese oxide (MO) synthesis by alkaline (NaOH) hydrothermal techniques was 6.0. Under this condition, the best 1-NP removal efficiency was observed and XRD analysis confirmed that the MOs are corresponding to birnessite. Kinetic constants (k, at pH 6) for the 1-NP removals of the birnessites obtained from Mn recovered at pH 8 (${Mn^{2+}}_{(aq)}$) and pH>13 ($Mn(OH)_{2(s)}$) are 0.112 and $0.106min^{-1}$, respectively, which are similar to that from $MnSO_4$ reagent ($0.117min^{-1}$). The results indicated that the birnessite prepared from the SABP as a raw material could be used as an oxidative-coupling catalyst for removals of trace phenolic compounds in soil and water, and propose the recycle scheme of SAB for the birnessite synthesis.

Double molybdate $NaGd_{1-x}(MoO_4)_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ phosphors with proper doping concentrations of $Ho^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ($x=Ho^{3+}+Yb^{3+}$, $Ho^{3+}=0$ and 0.05, and $Yb^{3+}=0$, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, and 0.50) were successfully synthesized using the microwave sol-gel method. Well-crystallized particles formed after heat-treatment at $800^{\circ}C$ for 16 h showed fine and homogeneous morphologies with particle sizes of $1{\sim}3{\mu}m$. The spectroscopic properties were examined using photoluminescence emission and Raman spectroscopy. Under excitation at 980 nm, the upconversion doped samples exhibited strong yellow emissions, from the combination of strong emission bands at 545 nm and 655 nm in the green and red spectral regions, respectively. The strong 545 nm emission band in the green region corresponded to the $^5S_2/^5F_4{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in the $Ho^{3+}$ ions, while the strong 655 nm band in the red region appeared because of the $^5F_5{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in the $Ho^{3+}$ ions. The pump power dependence and the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity of the upconversion emission intensity were evaluated in detail.

$NaLa_{1-x}{(MoO_4)}_2$:$Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ phosphors with the correct doping concentrations of $Ho^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ($x=Ho^{3+}+Yb^{3+}$, $Ho^{3+}=0.05$ and $Yb^{3+}=0.35$, 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50) were successfully synthesized by the microwave-modified sol-gel method. Well-crystallized particles formed after heat-treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ for 16 h showed a fine and homogeneous morphology with particle sizes of $3-5{\mu}m$. The optical properties were examined using photoluminescence emission and Raman spectroscopy. Under excitation at 980 nm, the UC intensities of the doped samples exhibited strong yellow emissions based on the combination of strong emission bands at 545-nm and 655-nm emission bands in green and red spectral regions, respectively. The strong 545-nm emission band in the green region corresponds to the $^5S_2/^5F_4{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in $Ho^{3+}$ ions, while the strong emission 655-nm band in the red region appears due to the $^5F_5{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in $Ho^{3+}$ ions. Pump power dependence and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity of the upconversion emission intensity were evaluated in detail.

A carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) has been purified from Loweporus roseoalbus. The molecular weight of the purified CMCase was estimated to be 28.5 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The maximum activity of the purified CMCase was observed at pH 4.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, and stable for pH 3 to 5 to maintain 60% activity. The CMCase activity was activated by SDS and inhibited by PMSF and 1,10-phenanthroline. The enzyme activity was also decreased by the addition of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), suggesting that the purified CMCase is metalloenzyme.

The crystal structure of metoclopramide, $C_14H_22ClN_3O_2$, has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques using diffractometer data obtained by the ${\omega}-2{\theta}$ scan technique with Mo $K\alpha$ radiation from a crystal with space group symmetry $P{\overline{1}}$ and unit cell parameters a = 7.500(1), b = 8.707(2), c = 13.292(2) ${\AA}$; ${\alpha}$ = 101.70(2), ${\beta}$ = 81.20(2), and ${\gamma}$ = $114.90(l)^{\circ}$. The sructure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to a final R = 0.055 for the 1524 observed reflections. The bent overall-conformation of the molecule seems to be determined mainly by the bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond from the amide nitrogen atom to the methoxy oxygen and the amine nitrogen atoms. The crystal packing consists of the hydrogen bonds, ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction and hydrophobic interaction.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of propofol on cortical electroencephalogram (EEG) in seven dogs. Propofol infusion was accomplished from low concentration to high concentration in series, and each concentration was infused for 20 minutes (M0: 0, M0.5: 0.5, M1.0:1.0, and M1.5: 1.5 mg/kg/min of infusion rate). EEG was recorded via needle electrode placed at Cz, which was applied to International 10-20 system. Arterial blood pressure. blood gas analysis and ECG were also measured. Hoemodynamics, Pa$CO_2$, PaO$_2$, heart rate and respiratory rate were variable, but were net significant(p>0.05). The power spectra of EEG in every concentration was compared wish those of control (MO). The powers at a1l frequencies at M1.0 and Ml.5 were decreased. Especially, the powers of the frequencies over 20 Hz were significantly decreased (p<0.O5). Powers at frequencies between 8 and 15Hz at MO.S were significantly increased (p<0.05) in response to the painful stimuli. It was inferred that they may reflect activity of the brain which is consciously processing the external Stimuli. Like the Power spectra, al1 the band powers of He EEG ($\delta$ 1-4, $\theta$4-8, $\alpha$ 8-13, $\beta$L13-21. $\beta$H 21-30, \ulcorner 30-50, and total 1-5OHz) were decreased in proportion to the increase of infusion rate at M1 .0 and M1.5. Especially, decrease of $\beta$H and ${\gamma}$ were significant(p<0.01). At M0.5, $\alpha$ band was significantly increased(p<0.05) among all the bands. Seizure activities which were concide with occurrence of spike wave were shown in all dogs at Ml .0 and M1.5.

Marine microorganism strain 96CJ10356 produced exopolysaccharides, designated as EPS-R. To optimize culture conditions for the production of EPS-R, carbon, nitrogen, mineral salt, temperature, and pH were examined. STN medium was suggested as follow; sucrose 20, tryptone 10, NaCl 10, $MgSO_4$ 5, $CaCl_2$ 1, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.0076, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.0083, $FeCl_2$ 0.005, $MnCl_2$ 0.001, $NaMoO_4$ 0.001, $ZnCl_2$ 0.001 (g/1) and pH 7.0 About 9.23 g/l of EPS-R was obtained from the STN medium after cultivation for 120 h at $25^{\circ}C$ in 5-liter jar fermentor with an aeration rate of 0.17 vvm. Apparent viscosity and flocculation activity of the culture broth were increased with the production of the EPS-R and the maximal values were reached to 415 cp and 1400 units/ml against 0.5 % activated carbon, respectively.

The protonation of RuH(NO)(Cyttp) resulted in the formation of $[RuH_2(NO)(Cyttp)]^+$ which is characterized as a classical cis-dihydried complex. This complex is fluxional and the intramolecular process involving a molecular hydrogen complex is proposed. This mechanism was further supported by the reactivity of this complex toward neutral 2-electron ligands. On the other hand, it failed to detect the existence of $[RuH_2(NO)(etp)]^+$ probably due to instability of the complex but the crystal structure of $[Ru(PMe_3)(NO)(etp)]^+$ formed by the protonation of RuH(NO)(etp) followed by the addition of $PMe_3$ was determined to have a trigonal bipyramidal structure with a linear NO in the equatorial plane and a facial etp ligand. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n, with unit cell dimensions a = 14.130(2), b = 21.026 (3), c = 14.760 (1) ${\AA}$, ${\beta}$ = 97.88 $(l)^{\circ}$ V = 4344 ${\AA}^3$, Z = 4, R = 0.046 and $R_w$ = 0.056 for the 4779 intensities with $F_o^2 > 3{\sigma}(F_0^2)$ and the 440 variables.

$NaCaGd(MoO_4)_3:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ ternary molybdates were successfully synthesized by microwave sol-gel method for the first time. Well-crystallized particles formed after heat-treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ for 16 h showed a fine and homogeneous morphology with particle sizes of $3-5{\mu}m$. Under excitation at 980 nm, the UC intensities of the doped samples exhibited strong yellow emissions based on the combination of strong emission bands at the 520-nm and 630-nm emission bands in the green and red spectral regions, respectively. The strong 520-nm emission band in the green region corresponds to the $^5S_2/^5F_4{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition of $Ho^{3+}$ ions, while the strong 630-nm emission band in the red region appears to be due to the $^5F_5{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition of the $Ho^{3+}$ ions. The optimal $Yb^{3+}:Ho^{3+}$ ratio was found at 9:1, as indicated by the composition-dependent quenching effect of $Ho^{3+}$ ions. The pump power dependence of the upconversion emission intensity and the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates of the phosphors were evaluated in detail.
