Pervaporation separation is one of promising membrane technology for the energy saving processes and it has been developed to separate complex mixture systems including azeotropic mixture, close-boiling mixture, aqueous organic mixtures etc. Many researchers focused on dehydration pervaporation separation and they commercialized ethanol dehydration and isopropanol recycling processes. Nowadays, petroleum separation and volatile organic compound removal using pervaporation membranes is one of the emerging application of pervaporation separation. We reviewed the development and application of pervaporation membranes.

Nitrosative modifications regulate cellular signal transduction and pathogenesis of inflammatory responses and neuro-degenerative diseases. Protein tyrosine nitration is a biomarker of oxidative stress and also influences protein structure and function. Recent advances in mass spectrometry have made it possible to identify modified proteins and specific modified amino acid residues. For analysis of nitrated peptides with low yields or only a subset of peptides, affinity 'tags' can be bait for 'fishing out' target analytes from complex mixtures. These tagged peptides are then extracted to a solid phase, followed by mass analysis. In this review, we focus on protein tyrosine modifications caused by nitrosative stresses and proteomic methods for selective enrichment and identification of nitrosative protein modifications.

The sulfuric acid sulfonation mixtures of 2-aminonaphthalene, contained 2-aminonaphthalene, Dahl's acid, Broenner's acid, amino-F-acid and Baden acid, can be determined quantitatively by multicomponent spectrophotometric analysis. The analysis was performed in diluted sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and based on the ultraviolet absorption of the sodium salts of each isomers. The determination of quantity of each isomers was performed by subjection the absorbances of the unknown mixture and of its constituents, gathered at a large number of wavelengths, to a least square treatment by an electronic personer computer. This method provided a rapid analysis of such complex mixture, and the standard deviation was ${\pm}1.65$ mole %.

Concrete is one of the essential structural materials in the construction. But, concrete consists of many materials and is affected by many factors such as properties of materials, site environmental situations, and skill of constructor. Therefore, concrete mixes depend on experiences of experts. However, it is more and more difficult to determine concrete mixes design by empirical means because more ingredients like mineral and chemical admixtures are included. Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) are a mimic models of human brain to solve a complex nonlinear problem. They are powerful pattern recognizers and classifiers, also their computing abilities have been proven in the fields of prediction, estimation and pattern recognition. Here, among them, the back propagation network and radial basis function network are used. Compositions of high-performance concrete mixes are eight components(water, cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, fly ash, silica fume, superplasticizer and air-entrainer). Compressive strength and slump are measured. The results show that neural networks are proper tools to minimize the uncertainties of the design of concrete mixtures.

Cutting oils are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons, comprising of certain fractions of mineral oil, which are being frequently used as lubricating and heat transferring agents in various machine and tool industries. We investigated an acute and 2 weeks repeated irritation studies of two cutting oils (Cimperial 1010 as water-soluble cutting oil, and MSN 120 as insoluble cutting oil) using guinea pigs.(omitted)

In reviewing of the literature concerning agronomic practices on intensive pasture establishment the following suggestions were made : (1) The seedbed preparation should be involved physical manipulation of the soil tilth and consolidation of the soil by harrows and heavy roller. (2) In terms of methods of sowing, drilling favours the first and broadcasting the second however, the apparent superiority of band sowing over the above conventional methods is to reduce the direct toxic chemical effects from fertilizers to germinating seeds. (3) The most satisfactory seeding depth for grasses and legumes is commonly agreed to be approximately 1.3cm and seeding depth greater than 2.5cm seems to be generally detrimental. (4) Autumn and spring are most common sowing periods for grasses and legumes, however, early autumn being the most generally favoured, particularly in areas not subject to severe winter kill. (5) Select nurse crop species or cultivars which make Bess demands on light, nutrients and water, and lower seed rates should be used. (6) Seeding mixtures should be simple rather than complex and aggressive species should be included to a minor extent.

Paclitaxel can be produced in high yield and with a high degree of purify from plant cell cultures of Taxus chinensis. The complete purification method was systematically established and described. This method was an efficient procedure for the purification of paclitaxel from crude paclitaxel, consisting or reverse-phase chromatography, followed by a normal-phase chromatography. The two-stage HPLC purification scheme serves as an effective and economical approach for resolving paclitaxel from complex mixtures of taxoids, with high purify (>99%) and low impurities (<0.1%). The process is readily scalable to a pilot plant and eventually to a production environment where multikilogram quantities of material are expected to be produced. The process has been optimized to minimize solvent usage, complexity, and operating costs.

The properties of hydrogen bonding between poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)[PEOx] and poly(acrylic acid)[PAA] were investigated. PEOx and PAA formed stable complex and precipitated due to hydrogen bonding between hydrogen of PAA and oxygen of PEOx in acidic condition(below pH 4.3). Optimum reaction ratio of PEOx and PAA was determined as mass ratio of 1:1.5 for applications in aqueous two phase system. The mixtures of the polymers formed aqueous two phase system with dextran solution after the breakage of hydrogen bondings. This properties can be used for the recovery of valuable products.

A new approach for groundwater treatment combines a permeable Fe(0) barrier to breakdown higher chlorinated solvents like PCE and TCE with a downgradient aerobic biological treatment system to biotransform less chlorinated solvents, such as DCE and vinyl chloride (VC). The expected bacterial performance downgradient of an Fe(0) barrier was evaluated through laboratory batch experiments with a toluene-degrading mixed culture that cometabolically transforms cis-1,2-DCE and VC. The amount of cis-1,2-DCE (initially at 2,000 ppb) and VC (initially at 2,000 ppb) transformed was controlled by the initial toluene (20,000 ppb) concentration. VC was removed much more effectively than Cis-1,2-DCE, and a higher toluene concentration in comparison to the co-substrate concentrations was needed for complete co-substrate removal. Overall, the coupling of an Fe(0) barrier and subsequent biodegradation appears feasible for remediation of complex mixtures of chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater

To improve various physical properties of poly(isobutylene oxide) copolymers of isobutylene oxide and cyclohexene oxide have been synthesized with triisobutylaluminum as catalyst. The molecular weights of the copolymers are rather lower than that of poly(isobutylene oxide) prepared with diethylzinc catalyst. The glass transition temperatures of the copolymers are between those of two homopolymers. The copolymers of isobutylene oxide and vinyl cyclohexene oxide showed better thermal stability. Oligomer of isobutylene oxide has been synthesized for polyol and lubricant application. Acid catalyzed oligomerization gave vary complex mixture. But base catalyzed reaction afforded the pentamer and hexamer rich oligomer mixtures.
