The theoretical calculations for $B_nH_n$, $B_nH_{n+1}$, $B_nH_{n+2}$ (n = 3-6) have been considered at the B3LYP level of theory with the 6-311G$^*$ basis set. The optimized geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and binding energies are evaluated to elucidate the thermodynamic stability and spectroscopic properties. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for the molecules considered in this study show all real numbers implying true minima and the binding energies are corrected using zero-point vibrational energies (ZPVE). The binding energies and average energies due to increasing of BH monomer are predicted.

The purified endochitosanase(Mw 41 kDa) from bacterium Bacillus cereus D-11 hydrolyzed chitooligomers $(GlcN)_{5-7}$ into chitobiose, chitotriose, and chitotetraose as the final products. The minimal size of the oligosaccharides for enzymatic hydrolysis was a pentamer. To further investigate the cleavage pattern of this enzyme, chitooligosaccharide alcohols were prepared as substrates and the end products of hydrolysis were analyzed by TLC and HPLC. The chitosanase split $(GlcN)_4GlcNOH$ into $(GlcN)_3+(GlcN)_1GlcNOH$, and $(GlcN)_5GIcNOH$ into $(GlcN)_4+(GlcN)_1GlcNOH$ and $(GlcN)_3+(GlcN)_2GlcNOH$. The heptamer $(GlcN)_6GlcNOH$ was split into $(GlcN)_5$ [thereafter hydrolyzed again into $(GlcN_3+(GlcN)2]+(GlcN)_1GlcNOH$, $(GlcN)_4+(GlcN)_2GlcNOH$, and $(GlcN)_3+(GlcN)_3GlcNOH$, whereas $(GlcN)_{1-3}GlcNOH$ was not hydrolyzed. The monomers GlcN and GIcNOH were never detected from the enzyme reaction. These results suggest that D-11 chitosanase recognizes three glucosamine residues in the minus position and simultaneously two residues in the plus position from the cleavage point.

Mononuclear schiff base ligand N,N'-bissalicylidene-1,2-phenylenediamine(BSPD) and binuclear schiff base ligands N,N',N',N'''-tetrasalicylidene-3,3',4,4'-tetraaminodiphenyl-methane (TSTM), N,N',N'',N'''-tetrasalicylidene-3,3'-diaminobenzidine (TSDB) have been synthesized. Proton dissociation constants of the ligands were determined by potentiometric method. The synthesized ligands and complexes formed with Cu(II) ion. These complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The results revealed two step diffusion controlled redox process. The mononuclear complex Cu(II)-BSPD and binuclear complexes $Cu(II)_2$-TSDB and $Cu(II)_2$-TSTM were used in the oxidation reaction of ascorbic acid. The reaction rates were in the order of $Cu(II)_2$-TSTM>$Cu(II)_2$-TSDB>Cu(II)-BSPD, indicating that the binuclear $Cu(II)_2$-TSTM complex had the fastest values.

Many studies on methane ($CH_4$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions from livestock industries have revealed that livestock production directly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through enteric fermentation and manure management, which causes negative impacts on animal environment sustainability. In the present study, three essential values for GHG emission were measured; i.e., i) maximum $CH_4$ producing capacity at mesophilic temperature ($37^{\circ}C$) from anaerobically stored manure in livestock category ($B_{0,KM}$, Korean livestock manure for $B_0$), ii) $EF_{3(s)}$ value representing an emission factor for direct $N_2O$ emissions from manure management system S in the country, kg $N_2O-N$ kg $N^{-1}$, at mesophilic ($37^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic ($55^{\circ}C$) temperatures, and iii) $N_{ex(T)}$ emissions showing annual N excretion for livestock category T, kg N $animal^{-1}$ $yr^{-1}$, from different livestock manure. Static incubation with and without aeration was performed to obtain the $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ emissions from each sample, respectively. Chemical compositions of pre- and post- incubated manure were analyzed. Contents of total solids (% TS) and volatile solid (% VS), and the ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) decrease significantly in all the samples by C-containing biogas generation, whereas moisture content (%) and pH increased after incubation. A big difference of total nitrogen content was not observed in pre- and post-incubation during $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ emissions. $CH_4$ emissions (g $CH_4$ kg VS-1) from all the three manures (sows, layers and Korean cattle) were different and high C/N ratio resulted in high $CH_4$ emission. Similarly, $N_2O$ emission was found to be affected by % VS, pH, and temperature. The $B_{0,KM}$ values for sows, layers, and Korean cattle obtained at $37^{\circ}C$ are 0.0579, 0.0006, and 0.0828 $m^3$ $CH_4$ kg $VS^{-1}$, respectively, which are much less than the default values in IPCC guideline (GL) except the value from Korean cattle. For sows and Korean cattle, $N_{ex(T)}$ values of 7.67 and 28.19 kg N $yr^{-1}$, respectively, are 2.5 fold less than those values in IPCC GL as well. However, $N_{ex(T)}$ value of layers 0.63 kg N $yr^{-1}$ is very similar to the default value of 0.6 kg N $yr^{-1}$ in IPCC GLs for National greenhouse gas inventories for countries such as South Korea/Asia. The $EF_{3(s)}$ value obtained at $37^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ were found to be far less than the default value.

The optical spectra of microwave plasma by four kinds of gases($N_2$, $N_2-CH_4$, $H_{2}-CH_{4}$ and Air-$CH_4$) have been measured for investigating 388.4[nm] peak which has the same intensity as $H_{\alpha}$(656.4[nm]) peak. A 388.4[nm] peak by $N_2$ plasma, $N_{2}-CH_{4}$ plasma and Air-$CH_4$ plasma may be CN peak because it is with 337.1, 357.8 and 316.0[nm] peaks by $N_2$. And a 388.4[nm] peak by $H_{2}-CH_{4}$ plasma without by $N_2$ 337.1, 357.8 and 316.0[nm] peaks may be CH peak. In the investigation results for optical spectra by $H_{2}-CH_{4}$ plasma and $H_{2}-CH_{4}-O_{2}$ plasma, the density of hydrogen atom was increased because oxygen decompose hydrogen molecules in $H_{2}-CH_{4}$ plasma with oxygen. These hydrogen atom decompose $CH_4$ and increase CH radical. And the crystalline of deposited diamond was good and the growth rate increased.

A specific and sensitive gas chromatographic (GC) procedure with the flame photometric detector (FPD) was developed for determination of barbiturates such as barbital, allobarbital, secobarbital, phenobarbital and thiopental in plasma. In order to evaluate the performance of the FPD, the results were campared with those of the flame ionization detector (FID). After extraction of barbiturates from plasma, the barbiturates were quantitatively N, N-dimethylthiometyl (MTM)-derivatized with methylthiomethyl chloride in 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5, 4, 0] undec-7-ene catalyst. The data indicate that the FPD is about 4 times more sensitive than the FID for barbiturates, although it is less reproducible. The FPD also produced chromatogram with less back ground for extracted plasma sample. The FPD also produced chromatogram with less background for extracted plasma sample. The minimum detectable amount of MTM-thiopental on 3% OV-225 column was 4, 4fmol and that of other MTM-barbiturate was about 10.0fmol.

A simple and efficient new synthetic method of 4'-[N-(9-acridinyl)]-1'-(N-methanesulfonyl)-3'-methoxyquinonediimide(AMQD, 5) was developed and six new nucleophilic adducts(6a-6f) were prepared by the addition of thiophenol derivatives to AMQD. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, mass, ir and nmr spectra.

In this work, we have seen the effect of hole-transporting layer in organic light-emitting diodes using N,N'-biphenyl-N,N'-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine(TPD) and N,N'-biphenyl-N,N'-bis-(1-naphenyl)-[l,l'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine(NPB). NPB is regarded as a better hole trans porting material than TPD, since it has a higher glass transition temperature($T_g$). And current-voltage, luminance-voltage and external quantum efficiency of device were measured with the thickness variation of buffer layer using copper phathalocyanine(CuPc) am polytetrafluoroethylene (PTEE) at room temperature. We have obtained an improvement of External quantum efficiency when the CuPc 30[nm] and PTFE 1.0[nm] is used.

The influence of ethylene glycol, glycerol, sorbitol and sucrose on the thermostability of Bacilus stearothermophzlus cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was investigated. Glycerol, sorbitol and sucrose had effect on thermostability of the CGTase. The effects appeared to be strongly dependent on concentration of additives. The thermostability of CGTase also was assayed in organic solvents such as n-butanol, l, &dioxane, n-octane. The therrnostability of CGTase increased in l, 4-dioxane and n-octane. Particularly, in n-octane, the CGTase retained the 81% of the initial activity after incubation at $75^{\circ}C$ for 90 min.
