A sensitive method for the determination of total selenium in aerosol particles is described. The method involves dissolution of aerosol particles by $HNO_3-HClO_4$ mixed acids, pre-reduction of Se (VI) to Se (IV) by boiling hydrochloric acid, and hydride generation followed by atomic absorption detection. Dissolved Se (IV) in 4M hydrochloric acid is reacted with $NaBH_4$ to form $H_2Se$, which is subsequently collected in an U-tube cooled in liquid nitrogen. Upon the completion of $H_2Se$ generation, the collected $H_2Se$ is rapidly vaporized into a quartz cuvette burner by removing the U-tube from liquid nitrogen, atomized, and then detected by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The absolute sensitivity of the method is 0.49 ng/0.0044 Abs. The accuracy of the method evaluated by analyzing standard reference materials for urban aerosol is better than 10%. Analytical results for urban and rural aerosol particles are reported.

We report fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of the CHBr molecule generated via pyrolysis of $CH_3Br$ in a molecular beam experiment. The 193 nm attenuation cross sections were estimated from the reduction of the CHBr signal as a function of the excimer laser fluence. The derived 193 nm absorption cross section for CHBr [$(3.24{\pm}0.59){\times}10^{-17}\;cm^2$] is slightly higher than the absorption cross section previously determined for CHCl [$(2.6{\pm}0.8){\times}10^{-17}\;cm^2$], but the difference is within the estimated uncertainties in the measured cross section.

In this study, we examined the properties of the concrete for the adsorption of carbon dioxide by adding in photosynthetic bacteria. As for the experimental plan, we measured slump, carbon dioxide concentration and compressive strength. The findings revealed the non-plastic cement added with photosynthetic bacteria had the greatest flexibility and showed carbon dioxide absorption and condensation delay due to the sugar constituents of photosynthetic bacteria. Giver the progress in the studies on the strength development, it is estimated to be used as CO₂ reduction concrete.

Optical absorption and emission studies have been carried out to understand the effect of deuterium on the solvent dependent photophysical properties of curcumin in deuterated solvents such as $CDCl_3,\;(CD_3)_2SO,\;(CD_3)_2CO,\;CD_3OD\;and\;CD_3CN$. Optical absorption spectral studies showed that there is no significant shift in absorption maxima compared to the non-deuterated solvent. The fluorescence maxima shows significant shift with polarity of solvent but not much affected by the deuteration. The fluorescence quantum yield of curcumin increased marginally in almost all the deuterated solvents, indicating reduction in the non-radiative pathways. The fluorescence decay was biexponential in all the solvents and the average fluorescence lifetime was not much affected with deuteration, but showed decrease with increasing solvent polarity. Based on these studies, it is concluded that intermolecular hydrogen transfer is only partially responsible for the excited state deactivation of curcumin.

We investigated annealing effect of microforged powders on magnetic properties and electromagnetic absorption behaviors for ferromagnetic Fe-Cr metal alloy powder-polymer composites. The coercive properties greatly decreased with annealing temperature and the magnetic permeability had significantly increased after microforging and subsequent annealing treatment, due to a reduction in lattice strain of the microforged powders. The power loss in the far field regime also had greatly increased after microforging and subsequent annealing treatment in frequency range from 50 MHz to 6 GHz. As a result, the electromagnetic absorption of ferromagnetic Fe-Cr alloy metal powder-polymer composites was highly improved because of the relaxation of the internal strain during annealing process.

In this work, we describe the reduction kinetics of gold nanoparticles synthesized by plasma discharge in aqueous solutions with varied voltages and precursor (HAuCl₄) concentrations. The reduction rate of [AuCl₄]^- was determined by introducing NaBr to the gold colloidal solution synthesized by plasma discharge, serving as a catalyst in the reduction process. We observed that [AuCl₄]^- was completely reduced when its characteristic absorption peak at 380 nm disappeared, indicating the absence of [AuCl₄]^- for ligand exchange with NaBr. The reduction rate notably increased with the rise in discharge voltage, attributable to the intensified plasma generated by ionization and excitation, which in turn accelerated the reduction kinetics. Regarding precursor concentration, a lower concentration was found to retard the reduction reaction, significantly influencing the reduction kinetics due to the presence of active H⁺ and H radicals. Therefore, the production of strong plasma with high plasma density was observed to enhance the reduction kinetics, as evidenced by optical emission spectroscopy.

The considerations in the noise control by enclosure are the rise of temperature and sound pressure, transmission loss, absorption coefficient of the materials, the structure of the soundproof panels, an opening and coincidence frequency. But it is very difficult that we obtain the accurate data about those in design, so, the noise reduction after enclosing does not correspond with the calculation. The difference of the noise reduction between the calculation and the measurement was 8.2dBA, and we can obtain the approximate result as the following formula which correct 10dBA, safely.

The effects of domperidone, scopolamine butylbromide and cimetidine on the absorption and bioavailability of ciprofloxacin were studied in female rats. Ciprofloxacin was given in a single oral dose of 30 mg/kg to control group. Ciprofloxacin was concurrently administered with domperidone $(T_1\;group)$, scopolamine butylbromide $(T_2\;group)$, and cimetidine $(T_3\;group)$ to rats, respectively. Significantly changed pharmacokinetic parameters observed in $T_2$group when compared with control group were first-order absorption rate constant, $Ka(4.43{\pm}0.85$\;versus\;2.86{\pm}0.41\;hr^{-1},\;p<0.05)$, time needed to reach peak concentration, $T_{max}\;(32.27{\pm}2.46\;versus\;51.75{\pm}5.51\;min,\;p<0.05)$, area under the plasma concentration-time curve, AUC $(332{\pm}19\;versus\;477{\pm}27\;{\mu}g{\cdot}min/ml,\;p<0.05)$ and absolute bioavailability, Fabs $(60.6{\pm}3.6\;versus\;87.0{\pm}5.0%,\;p<0.05)$. On the other hand, domperidone and cimetidine did not significantly affect the absorption of ciprofloxacin. It is suggested that when scopolamine butylbromide is selected for clinical use, there is need for awareness of the reduction in absorption rate and the enhancement in absorption extent of ciprofloxacin.

In this study, we developed a pressing device which can reproduce the pressure of concrete inside the conveying pipe as a part of the basic study to development of high fluidity concrete under high pressure pumping. Using this pressing device, we evaluated a absorption properties of aggregate that are crushed coarse aggregate, river gravel and lightweight coarse aggregate according to pressure of coarse aggregate and aggregate inside a high fluidity concrete, focused on the reduction of unit water quantity by pressure. In addition, it was evaluated the compressive strength of high fluidity concrete about before and after of pressive. Test a result, case of condition under the high pressure of 250 bar, absorption ratio of crushed coarse aggregate and river gravel were not increased above the surface absorption, absorption ratio of lightweight coarse aggregate was increased than the surface absorption.
