The effects of hypothermic treatment ($32^{\circ}C$) on recovery from ischemia are controversial because the precise mechanisms of hypothermia remain unclear. We demonstrated previously that hypothermia induces beta-catenin-interacting protein 1 (CTNNBIP1) gene expression in vitro. In this study, we evaluated the effects of various hypothermic conditions, including lithium chloride treatment, on CTNNBIP1 gene expression. The results show that short-term hypothermic treatment resulted in relatively higher CTNNBIP1 gene expression than that of a longer treatment. These findings indicate that hypothermia controls CTNNBIP1 gene expression, which may provide clues to develop treatments to recover from and diagnose ischemia.

This study was performed to find out the influence of experimental factors on dehumidification performance and furthermore to suggest an optimal combination of factors of a total heat exchanger in a solar air conditioning system. The experimental apparatus was set up in a climate-controlled chamber where the temperature and humidity was maintained constant. In order to find out the contribution ratio of factors on dehumidification performance, the table of orthogonal arrays $L_8(2^7)$ was used. According to the results, the most influential factor on dehumidification performance was the concentration of LiCl(Lithium Chloride) solution. The next influential factors were the temperature of LiCl solution and the air flow rate. The packed layer height, packed material, and flow rate of LiCl solution had no influence on the dehumidification performance under these experimental conditions. Through the three level experiments of $L_{27}(3^{13})$, it was found that the optimal combination was $A_2B_0G_2$(concentration of solution 30 wt%, temperature of solution $15^{\circ}C$, air flow rate $253m^3/h$).

High water vapour content in air can cause a number of problems as for human or surrounding materials. For human a high water vapour can create physiological stress, discomfort, and also can encourage ill health. While, the cause for the environment is can accelerate the corrosion of metals, accelerate the growth of spores and mould, can reduce the electrical resistance of insulators and etc. Desiccant systems have been proposed as energy saving alternatives to vapor compression air conditioning for handling especially the latent load and also sensible load. Use of liquid desiccants offers several design and performance advantages over solid desiccants, especially when solar energy is used for regeneration. The liquid desiccants contact the gas inside the packed tower of liquid desiccant solar cooling system and the heat transfer and mass transfer will occur. This thesis is trying to study the characteristics inside the packed tower of dehumidifier systems. This characteristics consist of mass transfer rate, heat transfers rate, human comfort and energy that consume by the system. Those characteristics were affected by air flow rates, air temperature and humidity, and desiccant temperature and all that variation will influence the performance of the systems. The results of this thesis later on can be used to determine the best performance of the systems.

The liquid solar air conditioning system is introduced as an alternative solution to control air condition and to save electrical energy consumption. The heat and mass transfer performances of dehumidifier/regenerator in liquid solar air conditioning system are influenced by air and desiccant condition. The application of this system, the thermal energy from the sun and inlet air are unable to control, but operation parameter of other components such as pump, fan and sensible cooling unit are able to control. The equilibrium point of heat and mass transfer are the liquid desiccant and inlet air conditions, where, the heat and mass are not transferred between the liquid desiccant and vapor air. By knowing equilibrium point of heat and mass transfer, the suitable optimal desiccant conditions for certain air condition are funded. This present experiment study is investigated the equilibrium point heat and mass transfer in various air and desiccant temperature. The benefit of equilibrium point heat and mass transfer will be helpful in choose and design proper component to optimize electrical energy consumption.

Chitin-based fibers have low mechanical strength and hence cannot be used as surgery fiber due to fast degradation In tissues. A new fiber Chitulose was made by mixing chitin with cellulose, both of which have similar structure. A mixture of dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and 6% lithium chloride (LiCl) was found to be an effective solvent system for dissolvoing chitin and cellulose. The Chitulose fiber made by wet spinning of a mixture of chitin and cellulose resulted in the highest degree of strength and flexibility when the ratio of chitin to cellulose was 1.5; 0.2. The fiber maintained mechanical structure even after autoclaving, indicating thermal stability. A biodegradability test of the Chitulose fiber by imbeding in a rat showed that degradation was initiated in 14 days and completely done in 40 days.

A mixture of (Z,Z)-3,13-octadecadien-1-yl acetate(1) and its (E,Z)-isomer(2), the sex pheromone of the cherry tree borer, Synanthedon hector Butler was synthesized. (Z)-11-Octadecen-1-al(3) was prepared from 1,10-decandiol. The Wittig reaction the above aldehyde3 with carboethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane, or the Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of the above aldehyde3 with the anion of triethylphosphonoacetate gave ethyl (Z,Z)-2,13-octadecadienoate and its (E,Z)-isomer. Deconjugative protonation of ethyl (Z,Z)-2,13-octadecadienoate and its (E,Z)-isomer with potassium hexamethyldisilazide followed by aqueous ammonium chloride work-up afforded stereoselectiv디y ethyl (E,Z)-3,13-octadecadienoate and its (Z,Z)-isomer, respectively, of which stereoselectivity was adjusted to give the product in the required ratio. Exposure of the above deconjugated ester to excess lithium aluminium hydride resulted in formation of the penultimate (Z,Z)-3,13-octadecadien-1-ol and its (E,Z)-isomer. Acetylation of the desired alcohols afford the final products, (Z,Z)-3,13-octadecadien-1-yl acetate(1) and its (E,Z)-isomer(2).

제습기의 역할은 태양열제습냉방시스템 요소 중에서도 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 이러한 특성에 맞추어 제작된 장치를 갖고서 제습능력에 영향을 미치는 유량비를 바꾸어 실험한 결과이다. 실험은 크기가 $40m^3$인 항온항습실을 대상으로 이루어졌으며, 향류형 제습기의 수직 높이는 0.4m로 고정되었다. 또한 충진층은 액체흡수제와의 접촉면을 넓게하기 위하여 플라스틱 충진재로 채워져 있으며, 흡수제의 온도는 빠른 변화를 보기 위하여 $15^{\circ}C$로, 농도는 40%로 고정하였다. 액체흡수제의 유량과 습도가 높은 공기의 유량을 각각 3단계로 바꾸어 실험한 결과, 풍량이 높을수록 제습기 효과는 낮아졌으나, 전체적인 제습량에서는 많아졌다. 한편, 제습기에서 액체흡수제 유량이 많을수록 제습되는 수분량이 많아졌으나, 시간의 변화에 따라 제습되는 속도는 현저하게 낮아졌다. 따라서, 향후 실험에서는 유량의 변화 폭을 더욱 확대해서 많은 실험 결과를 확보하고, 이를 모델링화 하여 높은 정확도를 예측할 필요가 있다.

Lecithin, a zwitterionic phospholipid, forms spherical reverse micelles in nonpolar organic solvents such as decane. The addition of monovalent ions like lithium chloride (LiCl) to lecithin organosols induces the transformation of organosols into organogels due to the entanglement of reverse cylindrical micelles. In this study, we investigate the effect of pentanol acting as co-surfactant on rheological properties of lecithin/LiCl mixtures. From rheological studies, we find that the viscosity and elastic property of organogels decreased upon the addition of pentanol to organogels. The decrease in viscosity and elastic property can be attributed to the shortening of reverse cylindrical micelles confirmed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).

Deionized water, methanol, and ethanol were investigated for their effectiveness at dissolving LiCl-KCl-UCl3 at 25, 35, and 50℃ using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to study the concentration evolution of uranium and mass ratio evolutions of lithium and potassium in these solvents. A visualization experiment of the dissolution of the ternary salt in solvents was performed at 25℃ for 2 min to gain further understanding of the reactions. Aforementioned solvents were evaluated for their performance on removing the adhered ternary salt from uranium dendrites that were electrochemically separated in a molten LiCl-KCl-UCl3 electrolyte (500℃) using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Findings indicate that deionized water is best suited for dissolving the ternary salt and removing adhered salt from electrodeposits. The maximum uranium concentrations detected in deionized water, methanol, and ethanol for the different temperature conditions were 8.33, 5.67, 2.79 μg·L-1 for 25℃, 10.62, 5.73, 2.50 μg·L-1 for 35℃, and 11.55, 6.75, and 4.73 μg·L-1 for 50℃. ICP-MS analysis indicates that ethanol did not take up any KCl during dissolutions investigated. SEM-EDS analysis of ethanol washed uranium dendrites confirmed that KCl was still adhered to the surface. Saturation criteria is also proposed and utilized to approximate the state of saturation of the solvents used in the dissolution trials.

This study aimed to identify lactic acid bacteria isolated from eight fermented milk products in Iran. We enumerated Lactobacillus species using De Man-Rogosa-Sharpe (MRS)-maltose and MRS agar with pH adjusted to 5.2, as well as assessment at 37℃ for 48 hr, studied Streptococcus spp. using M17 agar at 43℃ for 24 hr, and assessed Bifidobacterium species using nalidixic acid, paromomycin sulfate, neomycin sulfate, and lithium chloride (BL-NPNL) agar at 37℃ for 48 hr. The total viable Streptococcus spp. cell in fermented milk varied at 4.73-8.83 log CFU/mL. However, Bifidobacterium spp. were not detected in any of the tested samples. Lactobacilli were not detected in four of the eight samples, and viable Lactobacilli cells in the remaining four samples ranged 2.48-3.85 log CFU/mL. The pH of the tested samples ranged 3.53-4.19, and soluble solids (Brix measurement) ranged 7.5%-17.9%. A total of 130 isolates of gram-positive catalase-positive bacteria were characterized at the species level using 16S rRNA sequencing. Sequence analysis identified six species: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. sunkii, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. indicus, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, and Levilactobacillus brevis.
