Carbonization products C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 were prepared by the carbonization of date pit in limited air, at 500, 600, 700, 800 and $1000^{\circ}C$, respectively. C1-V-600, C3-V-600, C1-V-1000 and C3-V-1000 were prepared by thermal treatment of C1 and C3 under vacuum at 600 and $1000^{\circ}C$. The textural properties were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and from carbon dioxide adsorption at 298 K. The surface pH, the FTIR spectra and the acid and base neutralization capacities of some carbons were investigated. The amounts of surface oxygen were determined by out-gassing the carbon-oxygen groups on the surface as $CO_2$ and CO. The adsorption of water vapor at 308 K on C1, C2, C3 and C4 was measured and the decomposition of $H_2O_2$ at 308 K was also investigated on C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5. The surface area and the total pore volume decreased with the rise of the carbonization temperature from 500 to $1000^{\circ}C$. The adsorption of water vapor is independent on the textural properties, while it is related to the amount of acidic carbon-oxygen groups on the surface. The catalytic activity of $H_2O_2$ decomposition does not depend on the textural properties, but directly related to the amount of basic carbon-oxygen complexes out-gassed as CO, at high temperatures.

This study aimed to examine the effects of several essential oils on insomnia in dementia patients following transdermal treatment (aromatherapy). The mean change rates (%) of sleep biomarkers were compared between the single essential and jojoba (vehicle) oil massage groups in this study. The lavender (L) essential oil massage group demonstrated a significant decrease in the mean change rate (%) of 24-h urinary free cortisol, whereas the valerian (V) essential oil massage group demonstrated a significant increase in the mean change rate (%) of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine. In addition, a significant increase in the mean change rate (%) of 24-h urinary norepinephrine was observed in the chamomile (C) essential oil massage group only. Based on these results, valerian, lavender, and chamomile oils were mixed in different ratios to produce blending oils A (L:C:V=2:2:1), B (L:C:V=3:1:1) and C (L:C:V=1:3:1). The highest level of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine was observed after administering blending oil A. These results suggest that blending oil A might possess therapeutic effects against insomnia. Overall, it is hypothesized that the optimally blended essential oil will produce synergic effects when combined with hypnotic drugs.

To improve the operation error caused by the thermal fluctuation of electrons, we propose a novel single-electron pass-transistor logic circuit employing a multiple-tunnel junction (MTJ) scheme and modulate a parameters of an MTJ single-electron tunneling device (SETD) such as the number of tunnel junctions, tunnel resistance, and voltage gain. The operation of a 3-MTJ inverter circuit is simulated at 15 K with parameters $C_g=C_T=C_{clk}=1\;aF,\;R_T=5\;M{\Omega},\;V_{clk}=40\;mV$, and $V_{in}=20\;mV$. Using the SETD/MOSFET hybrid circuit, the charge state output of the proposed MTJ-SETD logic is successfully translated to the voltage state logic.

In Gyeongsangbuk-do seongju area, hundreds of tons of spoiled oriental melon are harvested annually. Therefore, ways to prevent such spoilage are needed. This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of spoiled oriental melon juice after enzyme treatment for the production of oriental melon concentrate. The treatment of the oriental melon juice with three kinds of enzymes with variable concentrations showed the following results. PECE(1), which was compounded pectinase and cellulase at 0.01% (v/v), gave the melon a 0.16 brown color and 0.01 turbidity, and the highest L value of 97.00. The detected free sugar contents were fructose, glucose and sucrose, with the amount of sucrose the highest at roughly 4,000 mg%. The mixture of different enzyme treatments resulted in a 0.15 brown color and 0.01 turbidity at 60 minutes, and the L value was high at 97.25. The enzyme treatment temperatures of $50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ yielded a low-level brown color and low turbidity, but the L values were high at $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$. These results showed that 0.01% (v/v) mixing enzyme, i.e., pectinase and cellulose compounded at $60^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, must be used for the production of oriental melon concentrate.

A marine bacterium having a high oil-degrading activity was isolated from the coastal water of Yosu, Korea, identified as Pseudomonas sp. and named Pseudomonas sp. BCK-1. The optimal temperature, pH and NaCl concentration for cell growth was $30^{\circ}C$, 7.0 and $3\%$ (w/v), respectively. After cultivation at $30^{\circ}C$, 180 rpm in 250 mL erlenmeyer flask for 72 and 168 hours, $2\%$ (w/v) arabian light crude oil (ACO) and bunker C oil (BCO) which are considered to be hardly biodegradable compounds were degraded $92\%$ (w/w) and $72\%$ (w/w), respectively.

A Pd-SiC Schottky diode for detection of hydrogen gas operating at high temperature was explored. Hydrogen-sensing behaviors of Pd-SiC Schottky diode were analyzed as a function of hydrogen concentration and temperature by I-V and ${\Delta}I$-t methods under steady-state and transient conditions. The effect of hydrogen adsorption on the barrier height was investigated. Analysis of the steady-state kinetics using I-V method confirmed that the atomistic hydrogen adsorption process is responsible for the barrier height change in the diode.

Rate constants of hydrolysis of N-(benzoyl)-C-(N-methylanilino)imidoylchlorides were determined by UV spectrophotometry in 50% (v/v) aqueous methanol at 25$^{\circ}C$. On the basis of rate equation, substituent effect, solvent effect, salt effect, thermodynamic parameters and hydrolysis product analysis, it may be concluded that the hydrolysis of N-(benzoyl)-C-(N-methylanilino)imidoylchlorides proceed through $S_N$1 mechanism via azocarbonium ion intermediate in the range of from pH 3.0 to pH 10.0, while above pH 10.0 and below pH 3.0 the hydrolysis proceeds through nucleophilic addition-elimination (A$d_{N-E}$) mechanism.
