Spherical active carbon materials have been used for the removal of pollutants in the area of food processing, water treatment, air purification, oral administration. Moreover, they are now expected to make an epoch in the areas of electronics, life science, environmental technology, and so on due to their superior physical properties. Carbon particles should be requested for the edgeless spherical shapes in order to minimize the loss due to the abrasion during the process and/or practical use, but the carbon particles manufactured from petroleum-based pitch do not meet these needs. Nowadays, thus, the spherical active carbon particles carbonized from various spherical polymer beads are studied with thermoplastic and/or thermosetting polymers. In this paper, the synthesis of spherical phenolic beads and furan beads, which are thermosetting polymers, and their carbonization techniques are examined.

Metabolic activity of inorganic nitrogenous compounds affects not only microbial growth but also metabolite production in fermentation technology. We have worked on the enzymes participating in ammonia assimulation of some fermentation bacteria. This paper summarizes the results on glutamine synthetase and its application in practical field. Glutamine synthetase (L-glutamate:ammonia ligase, EC. 6.3.1.2) catalyzes the formation of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia at the expense of cleavage of ATP and inorganic phosphate. The enzyme plays a dual role in nitrogen metabolism in bacteria; it is a key enzyme not only in the biosynthesis of various compounds through glutamine but also in the regulation of synthesis of some enzymes involved in the metabolism of nitrogenous compounds. The detailed works with the Eschericia coli and other enterobacterial enzymes revealed that glutamine synthetase is controlled by the following complex of mechanisms: (a) feedback inhibition by end products, (b) repression and derepression of enzyme synthesis, (c) modulation of enzyme activity in response to divalent cation and (d) covalent modification of enzyme protein by adenylylation and its cascade control. Comparative studies have also been made on the enzymes from other organisms.

4-Hydroxy-3-(3'-methyl-2'-butenyl)-benzoic acid (HMBA) was previously isolated from Curvularia sp. KF119 as a cell-cycle inhibitor. However, the present study used a novel and practical synthetic method to prepare a large quantity of HMBA. The synthetic HMBA was found to inhibit the cell-cycle progression of HeLa cells with a comparable potency to the natural fungal metabolite. The inhibition of the cell-cycle progression by the synthetic HMBA involved both the activation of $p21^{WAF1}$ and the inhibition of cyclin D1 expression in the cells. Consequently, this new synthetic procedure provides an easy and convenient way to produce or manipulate the original fungal metabolite.

Simple and practical synthesis of natural benzofuran derivative eupomatenoid-6 via Horner-Emmons type condensation as the key step is described. The umpolung property of aldehyde derivative, ${\alpha}$-aminophosphonate was efficiently employed in this reaction. ${\alpha}$-Aminophosphonate of anisaldehyde subjected to Horner-Emmons type condensation with 5-bromo-2-methoxybenzaldehyde to yield the deoxybenzoin, which was further methylated and then underwent tandem demethylation-cyclodehydration to afford the benzofuran scaffold in excellent yield. Finally Suzuki coupling with propenyl boronic acid afforded eupomatenoid-6 with an overall yield of 56.8%.

Heat exchanger network synthesis is very useful to aspects of energy recovery and saving. In order to obtain the optimal network structure for minimum utility cost, multiple utilities were used. In this study, the practical matches of process streams were not considered, but only evaluation of targets was demonstrated. The program developed in this work was applied to the alcohol production process and it was possible to find the optimal cost targets.

While high-temperature ceramic composites consisting of carbides, borides, and nitrides, the so-called ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs), have been commonly produced through solid-state sintering, melt-solidification is an alternative method for their manufacture. As many UHTCs are binary or ternary eutectic systems, they can be melted and solidified at a relatively low temperature via a eutectic reaction. The microstructure of the eutectic composites is typically rod-like or lamellar, as determined by the volume fraction of the second phase. Directional solidification can help fabricate more sophisticated UHTCs with highly aligned textures. This review describes the fabrication of UHTCs through the eutectic reaction and explains their mechanical properties. The use of melt-solidification has been limited to small specimens; however, the recently developed laser technology can melt large-sized UHTCs, suggesting their potential for practical applications. An example of laser melt-solidification of a eutectic ceramic composite is demonstrated.

Novel nonlinear backstepping control with integrated adaptive control function is developed for high-performance positioning control systems. The proposed schemes are synthesized by a systematic approach and implemented based on a modern low-cost DSP controller, TMS320C32. A baseline backstepping control scheme is derived first, and is then extended to include a nonlinear adaptive control against the system parameter changes and load variations. The backstepping control utilizes Lyapunov function to guarantee the convergence of the position tracking error. The final control algorithm is a convenient in the implementation of a practical 32-bit DSP controller. The new control system can achieve superior performance over the conventional nested PI controllers, with improved position tracking, control bandwidth, and robustness against external disturbances, which is demonstrated by experimental results.

Nowadays, microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas and many studies are being performed. For biomedical applications, many kinds of microspheres were synthesized by emulsion polymerization, emulsifier-free emu]sion polymerization, and emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization with ionic surface-active comonomers. Further synthesis techniques about microencapsulation and magnetic microspheres are introduced. Among the practical applications of microspheres, some interesting subjects are introduced. These include solid-phase immunoassays, labeling and identification of lymphocyte populations, extracorporeal and hemoperfusion systems, drug delivery systems, and immunomagnetic cell separation. In addition, basic theories, problems and research trends are also introduced.

This paper proposes the practical echo-signal synthesis models - UTAHID (Underwater TArget by Highlight Distribution) & M-UTAHID(Modified UTAHID) - of underwater target for active sonar engineering At high frequencies all the echo components that are the specular reflected waves and various elastic scattering wave scan be regarded the summation of individual echo from some equivalent scattering centers, so the underwater target is characterized by highlights distributed in spatial target structure. Proposed models are compared with characteristics of random distributed model & equivalent interval highlight model, and analyzed target strength, echo-elongation effect, target time spread loss and so on. Thus these can be efficiently used in various real systems related to underwater target echo-signal synthesis on active sonar and acoustic countermeasure.
