The photochemical reactions of methanolic nalidixic acid (NAL) solution in the absence and in the presence of air have been investigated using 300 nm UV light. From the reactions, 1-ethyl-7-methyl-4-oxo-4-hydro-1,8-naphthyridine (EMDN),formic acid, and formaldehyde are produced. In the presence of air, hydrogen peroxide is also detected along with the products listed above. The presence of oxygen during the irradiation of methanolic NAL solution effects on the product yield. The initial quantum yields of the products and of the NAL decomposition are determined. Possible reaction pathways for the photochemical reaction are suggested on the basis of the products analysis.

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of recent model developments and practical issues in spatial downscaling of coarse resolution satellite-derived products. First, theoretical aspects of spatial downscaling models that have been applied when auxiliary variables are available at a finer spatial resolution are outlined and discussed. Based on a thorough literature survey, the spatial downscaling models are classified into two categories, including regression-based and component decomposition-based approaches, and their characteristics and limitations are then discussed. Second, open issues that have not been fully taken into account and future research directions, including quantification of uncertainty, trend component estimation across spatial scales, and an extension to a spatiotemporal downscaling framework, are discussed. If methodological developments pertaining to these issues are done in the near future, spatial downscaling is expected to play an important role in providing rich thematic information at the target spatial resolution.

Stored rice grain undergoes physical and chemical deteriorations over time. As temperature and moisture content are important factors affecting to the denaturation of rice, it is important to store rice at a low temperature and hermetic condition. From a microscopic point of view, many studies have already reported how proteins and lipids were denatured within rice grain. Meanwhile, the weight loss of rice is currently observed at actual storage sites and can occur for diverse reasons. In this study, it was assumed that the decomposition process of polysaccharides, known as the main component of rice, plays an important role in its weight loss. In specific, the roles of enzymes were also evaluated. Our interest is in the major polysaccharides within a rice grain such as starch as well as within a rice endosperm cell wall. It is suspected that the weight loss of rice grains during storage seems to associate with the degradation of amylose and amylopectin. Nevertheless, it should be also speculated the correlating effect of other components such as proteins and lipids.

A combined process of non-thermal plasma and catalytic techniques has been investigated to treat toxic gas compounds in air. The treated gas in the present study is $CH_3$CN that has been known to be a simulant of toxic chemical agent. A planar type dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) reactor has been used to generate non-thermal plasma that produces various chemically active species, O, N, OH, $O_3$, ion, electrons, etc. Several different types of adsorbents and catalysts, which are MS 5A, MS 13X, Pt/alumina, are packed into the plasma reactor, and have been tested to save power consumption and to treat by-products. Various aspects of the present techniques, which are decomposition efficiencies along with the power consumption, by-product analysis, reaction pathways modified by the adsorbents and catalysts, have been discussed in the present study.

COMS has two imaging payloads, MI (Meteorological Imager) and GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Colour Imager). In GOCI case, data are packaged per each slot - one part of 16 two-dimensional arrays for imaging sensors - so its generation algorithm is simple. But MI case, data are made up with sequences of 480 bit blocks and are transmitted to its ground station sequentially. Moreover there is no time information in each 480 bit MI block, so a system in its ground system should be attaching time information at received MI blocks. DM (Decomposition Module) is one module of IMPS that receives Raw Data from DATS and generates Level 0 Products that include time tagging. This paper explains DM design for MI of COMS payloads.

Proten-conductive $SrZr_{0.95} Y_{0.05} O_{2.975}$ powder was prepared by citrate gel method its characteristics and sinterability were investigated. Amorphous gel could be obtained from a citric acid solution that $SrCO_3$ and metal nitrates were dissolved. The initial decomposition of the gel proceeded up to $250^{\circ}C$, followed by combustion of its decomposition products in the temperature range from $250^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$. A well-crystallized perovskite phase with a stoichiometric composition after calcination at $1000^{\circ}C$. Sintering green compacts of this powder for 6 h showed a considerable densification to start at $1200^{\circ}C$ and resulted in 86.8% and 96.5% relative densities at $1400^{\circ}C$ and $1600^{\circ}C$, respectively. Whereas, the powder compacts prepared by solid state reaction had much lower relative densities, 73% at $1400^{\circ}C$ and 92% at $1600^{\circ}C$.

A new chelate compound, tris(8-bydroxyquinolino)molybdenum(III), [$Mo(C_9H_6ON)_3$], has been prepared by the method of electrolytic reduction of the acidic molybdate solution. Thermal decomposition products of the chelate has been studied by DTA and TGA method. It is concluded that the decomposition product is a yellowish green colored bis(8-hydroxyquinolino)dioxo molybdenum(VI), [$MoO_2(C_9H_6ON)_2$].

In the manufacture of precipitated sulfur calcium pentasulfide ($CaS_{5}$, train product) and calcium thiosulfate ($CaS_{2}O_{3}$, by-product) are decomposed simultaneously by hydrochloricacid into coarse (not being uniform) particle-size products. To improve this drawback, calcium thiosulfate was prepared directly without making calcium pentasulfide and obtained $S_{6}$ by the acid-decomposition. In the conversion of hexatomic sulfur to octatomic sulfur, the polymerization and the depolymerization were observed by using purification method. The conversion of $S_{6}$ to $S_{8}$ is proceeded by two steps. The first step reaction is affected by impurities (especially $SO_{2}$ and $H_{2}S$), Hexatomic sulfur is inert to triethylamine for the time being by purification, and thereafter a slow conversion to polymeric and then to octatomic sulfur occurs. Instead of calcium pentasulfide, the acid decomposition of calcium thiosulfate has several advantages; uniformity of particle-size of product, increase of yield, and simplicity of procedure.

Ab initio quantum chemical molecular orbital calculations have been performed for the unimolecular decomposition of methacrylonitrile ($CH_3C(CN)=CH_2$), especially for HCN and $H_2$ molecular elimination channels. Structures and energies of the reactants, products, and relevant species along the individual reaction pathways were determined by MP2 gradient optimization and MP4 single point energy calculations. Direct four-center elimination of HCN and three-center elimination of H2 channels were identified. In addition, H or CN migration followed by HCN or H2 elimination channels via the methylcyanoethylidene intermediate was also identified. Unlike the case of crotonitrile previously studied, in which the dominant decomposition process was the direct three-center elimination of HCN, the most important reaction pathway should be the direct threecenter elimination of $H_2$ in the case of methacrylonitrile.

The basic zirconium sulfate was prepared from ZrOCl2.8H2O and H2SO4 in the 9$0^{\circ}C$ aqueous solution. The pH and amount of unreacted zirconium in the solution that reacton had completed was 0.2 and 10%. As the pH was increased to 1.4 by NH4OH theresulting precipitates were the mixtures of the basic zirconium sulfate and the zirconium hydroxide although the precipitates were recovered completely. The thermal decomposition behavior of this sample has been examined by thermal analysis(TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction study, infrared spectroscopy and sulfur analysis. As a result, it was found that the precipitates have perfectly been decomposed at 85$0^{\circ}C$ accompanying to the release of a molecule of water below 25$0^{\circ}C$ and 85% sulfate at about $600^{\circ}C$. The thermally decomlposed products were initially amorphous phase, which were become metastable tetragonal phase with increment of temperature and finally transformed to the stable monoclinic phase at 100$0^{\circ}C$.
