Yields of hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and ethylene glycol by gamma-radiolysis of methanol have been determined at room temperature and compared with values reported in the literature. The G-values obtained by the present studies are as follows: $G(H_2)=4.98,\;G(CH_4)=0.28,\;G(CO)=0.09,\;G(HCHO)=2.14\;and\;G(C_2H_6O_2)=3.07.$ The effects of water, methyl borate and alkali halides added to methanol prior to radiolysis have also been investigated. It is observed that alkali iodides and bromides affect the G-values, particularly, of hydrogen, formaldehyde and/or ethylene glycol, whereas alkali chlorides and fluorides have less pronounced effects.

Newly developed Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reagents 5 having triphenylphosphorane ylide subunits readily condensed with various carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions to afford $\beta,\gamma$-unsaturated $\alpha$-keto triphenylphorane ylides in good to excellent yields, which were hydrogenated over Pd-C (10%)/$H_2$ (1 atm) to give the corresponding $\alpha$-keto triphenylphorane ylides in quasi-quantitative yields. These triphenyphosphorane ylides have been utilized as the precursors to $\alpha$-keto amide/ester and vicinal tricarbonyl units in Wasserman's synthetic protocols, and have previously been prepared only from carboxylic acids/acid chlorides. Our new approaches provide excellent alternatives for the synthesis of triphenylphosphorane ylide precursors to $\alpha$-keto amide/ester and vicinal tricarbonyl units directly from carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields.

When concrete structures are exposed under marine condition for a long time, the steel in concrete is corroded due to the ingression of chlorides in the seawater. Because the damages of corrosion resulting from the chloride ion are very serious, many researches have been performed. However evaluation on chloride attack of concrete structures are not fully examined, recently. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to study the applicability of colormetric method. For the purpose of this, reaction mechanism of colormetric method were investigated, and the colormetric method is applied for marine concrete structures. According to the test results, the diffusion coefficient by colormetric method is not so different to the value of chloride concentration profile test. It is confirmed that the colormetric method is useful tool for estimating the chloride of concrete structures in situ. The average chloride amount of colored parts indicates 0.9kg/$m^{3}$ per concrete unit weight.

The present study surveys the concrete properties-concerned factors influencing the chloride threshold level for steel corrosion in concrete, altogether with supporting experimental works, in particular, chloride binding capacity, buffering capacity, condition of steel-concrete interface and cement replacement. It concluded that the order of the dominance on CTL is such that chloride binding < buffering capacity of cement matrix < physical condition of steel-concrete interface. This is attributed to the fact that calcium hydroxide does not form a continuous layer on the steel surface and that bound chlorides are released at the stage of corrosion initiation.

To prevent the rusting of steel, a variety of finishing materials has been applied. When steel is exposed to an extreme chloride environment, however, the thermal performance and aging of the finishing materials cause the material to lose its rust protective performance. In this study, an accelerated corrosion test was performed on five different finishing materials for steel, to determine the critical values of corrosion. As the result, the critical value of corrosion was found with no coat between 0.58mg/d㎡ and 0.73mg/d㎡, with urethane coat between 7.89mg/d㎡~8.46mg/d㎡, with one-layered red lead coat between 57.95mg/d㎡ and 69.48mg/d㎡, and with staleness201 between 80.73mg/d㎡ and 89.35mg/d㎡.

Prunioside A, isolated from the methanol extract of Spiraea prunifolia var. Simpliciflora's root, is composed of coumaroyl, monoterpene-type, and glucosyl units. The esterase activity of tannase was used to remove the p-coumaroyl and glucopyranosyl groups. The enzymatically hydrolyzed compound was reacted with various acyl chlorides to synthesize its ester derivatives, which showed the inhibitory effects on NO production in murine machrophage?like RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ.

Neopentyl arenesulfonates react with secondary alkylmagnesium chlorides in the presence of dppfNiCl2 to produce the corresponding arenes via the reductive cleavage of carbon-sulfur bond. Highest yield is obtained by using three equivalents of Grignard reagent to a mixture of arenesulfonate and dppfNiCl2 in Et2O at room temperature. This reaction represents a novel method allowing the efficient hydrogenolysis of sulfur-containing groups in aromatic compounds.

A comparative study of airborne salinity and sea wind was done for a coastal area, Sokcho city, of East Sea in Kangwon province, Korea. In this study, a relationship between the formation of airborne salinity and wind velocity was investigated, and then the airborne salinity was simulated and forecasted by the obtained wind-salinity characteristics. It is founded that most airborne salinity is brought by sea winds with the occurrence of velocity, higher than and equal to 4m/s, while the occurrence of lower wind velocities (ie., lower than 4m/s) in sea wind and the occurrence of inland wind give diluted effects on the airborne transfer. By using these characteristics and a proposed linear equation model, the salinity in Sokcho city is successfully simulated and forecasted. It is expected that the linear equation model may be useful for durability design of concrete structures under the conditions of chloride attack, induced by the airborne salinity.

This account reports an overview of our findings in homogeneous Pd-catalyzed reactions. Herein we describe the new design in reactions of Group 14 element compounds and in homogeneous nanosize Pd catalysts. In the early stages of our study, we developed Pd-catalyzed transformations of allylic esters with disilanes, silylcyanides and acylsilanes to the corresponding silylation, cyanation and acylation products, respectively. We also developed a Pd-catalyzed three component coupling reaction of Group 14 element compounds involving 1,3-diene and acid chlorides to form β,γ-unsaturated ketone as a single product. Recently, we focus our attention on modifying the catalytic environment by nanosize Pd in order to improve the performance of Pd catalysts. These nanosystems realize efficient catalytic environment with remarkable enhancement in catalytic activity and unprecedented selectivity.

Biomass is a renewable and sustainable source of energy used to create electricity or pressurized steam. In biomass-fueled power plants, wood waste or other waste is burned to produce steam that runs a turbine to make electricity, or that provides heat to industries and homes. Biomass power plants, apart from producing energy, help to reduce the $CO_2$ emission. However, the main problem is the high-temperature corrosion due to fuel corrosivity, especially of the straw. This limits both the temperature of the steam and also the effectiveness of the power plant. The corrosion in biomass-fueled plant was described.
