The purpose of this study was to investigate the release of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and other compounds from cell wall materials(CWM) and their cellulose fraction from carrot with chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis. To investigate this effect on cell wall chemistry of carrot, alcohol insoluble residue(AIR) of CWM were prepared and were extracted sequentially with water, imidazole, CDTA(-1, -2), Na$_2$CO$_3$(-1, -2), KOH(0.5, 1.0 and 4M), to leave a residue. These were analysed for their carbohydrate and phenolic acids composition. Arabinose and galactose were the main noncellulosic sugars. Phenolics esterified to cell walls in carrot were found to consist primarily of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with minor contribution from vanillin, ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. p-Hydroxybenzoic acid was quite strongly bound to the cell wall. The contents of p-hydroxybenzoic acid in 0.5M KOH, Na$_2$CO$_3$-2, IM KOH, and ${\alpha}$-cellulose were 2,097, 1,360, 1,140, and 717 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g AIR from CWM, respectively. Alkali labile unknown aromatic compound(C$\sub$7/H$\sub$10/O$_2$) was found in ${\alpha}$ -cellulose hydrolyzate digested with driselase and cellulase. This compound was also found in hydrolyzate of 2 M trifluoroacetic acid at 120$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Driselase treatment solubilized only 46.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid from carrot AIR. These results indicate that p-hydroxybenzoic acid was associated with neutral polysaccharides, long chain galactose and branched arabinan from graded alcohol precipitation.

Bamboo vinegar was prepared from China-grown bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) using simple kiln (400 - 500 $^{\circ}C$), and its physical properties and chemical components were investigated and compared to those of Korea-grown bamboo vinegar. The physical properties of China-grown bamboo vinegar were as follows: Baume specific gravity 4.5, organic acid 9.9%, pH 2.8, tar 3.1% and refractive index 13.1%, respectively. The main components of the bamboo vinegar were acetic acid, 1-hydroxyl-2-propanone, methanol, propionic acid, 1-hydroxyl-2- butanone. There was no significant difference between the components of Korea- and China-grown bamboo vinegars. Total organic materials in China-grown bamboo vinegar were 14.8%, and organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, and butanoic acid) consisted of 9.0%. These acids corresponded to 61% of total organic materials. Neutral and phenolic compounds consisted of 4.5% and 0.8% of the bamboo vinegar, which were correspond to 6% and 31% of total organic materials, respectively. The physicochemical properties of traditional Chinese bamboo vinegar indicated that it was collected at low temperature and aged for a long time.

Two new blue emitting cationic iridium(III) complexes with two substituted 2-phenlypyridine ligands as main ligands and one 2,2'-biimidazole as an ancillary ligand, $[(L1)_2Ir(biim)]Cl$ (1) and $[(L2)_2Ir(biim)]Cl$ (2), where L1 = 2-(2',4'-difluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine, L2 = 2-(2',4'-difluoro-3'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-methylpyridine and biim = 2,2'-biimidazole, were synthesized for applications in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). Their photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent (EL) device performances were examined. The photoluminescent (PL) spectra revealed blue phosphorescence in the 450 to 485 nm range with a quantum yield of more than 10%. The iridium(III) compounds studied showed good solubility in organic solvents with no solvatochromism dependent on the solvent polarity. The solution-processed OLEDs were prepared with the configuration, ITO/PEDOT:PSS (40 nm)/mCP:Ir(III) (70 nm)/OXD-7 (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm), by spin coating the emitting layer containing the mCP host doped with the iridium phosphors. The best performance of the fabricated OLEDs based on compound 1 showed an external quantum efficiency of 4.5%, luminance efficiency of 8.52 cd $A^{-1}$ and blue emission with the CIE coordinates (x,y) of (0.16, 0.33).

The effect of the mixing ratio of compounds in a slag-OPC-Gypsum system on the physical properties of Slag cement is investigated in this study. $Na_2SO_4$ was used as an alkali activator. Blast furnace slag cement was prepared from a mixture of blast furnace slag, ordinary Portland cement and anhydride gypsum. The fluidity and the compressive strength according to the ratio of each mixture were analyzed in statistical analyses in order to discover the parameters influencing the fluidity and compressive strength. The results showed that the hydration of blast furnace slag took place with the addition of $Na_2SO_4$ and that column-crystalline ettringite was created as the main hydration product of the blast furnace slag. In addition, it was found that the compressive strength of blast furnace slag cement tends to increase when the ordinary Portland cement content is higher up to three days. However, it is known that the compressive strength tends to increase as the blast furnace slag content becomes higher with increases in the level of OPC after 28 days. As a result of this analysis, it is believed that the ordinary Portland cement content influences the initial compressive strength of blast furnace slag cement, and that in later days this is highly influenced by the slag content.

Volatile organic components from onions stored in the different decay conditions were extracted by SDE apparatus and analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS. Components of 115, 143, 123 and 137 were identified in fresh onions, decayed onions without heating, half-decayed and complete-decayed onions after heating, respectively. These components included esters, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and sulfur-containing compounds. Dimethyl trisulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dipropyl trisulfide and 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane were the main sulfur-containing components in fresh onions and decayed onions without heating. As spoilage of onions, the concentrations of sulfur-containing components of volatile extracts significantly decreased. Apart from sulfur-containing components, volatile organic components in half-decayed and complete-decayed onions after heating were mainly composed of esters, aldehydes, ketones and alcohols. Ketones of volatiles in complete-decayed onions after heating were high relatively.

Catalytic upgrading of pyrolytic bio-oil produced from Japanes Larch was carried out over MCM-41 catalyst. Oil with enhanced stability was produced by the MCM-41 catalyst due to transform oxygen known as a main cause for the instability of bio-oil into $H_2O$, CO and $CO_2$. In addition, the MCM-41 catalyst produced the larger amount of phenolic compounds in the pyrolytic bio-oil product compared with that in the bio-oil produced without catalyst. Especially, the catalytic activity of Al-MCM-41 for the bio-oil upgrading was higher than that of Si-MCM-41 because Al-MCM-41 has the larger amount of acid sites. Also, the better reforming result was obtained when pyrolytic bio-oil vapor passed through catalytic layer rather than Japanese Larch was mixed with catalyst directly.

In this study, quantitative and pattern recognition analyses for the quality evaluation of Herba Epimedii using HPLC was developed. For quantitative analysis, five major bioactive constituents, hyperin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin were determined. Analysis was carried out on Capcell pak $C_{18}$ column ($250{\time}4.6$ mm, 5 ${\mu}m$) with a mobile phase of mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid, using UV detection at 270 nm. The linear behavior was observed over the investigated concentration range (2-50 ${\mu}g/mL;\;r_2\;>$ 0.99) for all analytes. The intraand inter-day precisions were lower than 4.3% (as a relative standard deviation, RSD) and accuracies between 95.1% and 104.4%. The HPLC analytical method for pattern recognition analysis was validated by repeated analysis of one reference sample. The RSD of intra- and inter-day variation of relative retention time (RRT) and relative peak area (RPA) of the 12 selected common peaks were below 0.8% and 4.7%, respectively. The developed methods were applied to analysis of twenty Herba Epimedii extract samples. Contents of hyperin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin were calculated to be 0$\sim$0.79, 0.69$\sim$1.91, 0.93$\sim$9.58, 0.65$\sim$3.05, and 2.43$\sim$11.8 mg/g dried plant. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that most samples were clustered together with the reference samples but several apart from the main cluster in the PC score plot, indicating differences in overall chemical composition between two clusters. The present study suggests that quantitative determination of marker compounds combined with pattern-recognition method can provide a comprehensive approach for the quality assessment of herbal medicines.

In this paper, high speed camera images were used to analyze the supercritical injection behavior of liquid hydrocarbon compounds used as main components of propellant fuel. Decane and Methylcyclohexane (MCH), which have different critical points among kerosene constituents, were selected as experimental fluid and Shadowgraphy technique was used for the analysis. The difference in the temperature variation from the initial injector state of the subcritical condition until the vaporization occurs was represented by the different behaviors of Decane and MCH. However, under the Supercritical conditions, the enthalpy of vaporization near the critical point approaches zero and the phase change to the Supercritical phase occurs instead of vaporization process. In the phase change of the Supercritical system, there was no rapid density change, so the liquid state image was observed in both the Decane and MCH.
