Nowadays the hydrophilic polymeric networks (polymer hydrogels) due to the complex of benefit physico-chemical properties attract a wide attention of specialists working in various fields of science, medicine and technology. The special attention of chemists is aimed on so-called stimuli-sensitive or intelligent hydrogels, which can undergo a volume phase transition in response to change in environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, solvent composition, etc [1]. Scientific group of Kazak State National University, Department of Macromolecular Chemistry works in this field [2-5]. Here we report about our achievements on pH-sensitive hydrogens.

We synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubules by oxidative polymerization of the pyrrole monomer within the pores of a polycarbonate template. The electrochemical behavior was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The redox potential was about -0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode, while the potential was about 0 V for PPy film. It is considered as the backbone grows according to the pore wall. Therefore, it is possible to be arranged regularly. That leads to improvement in the electron hopping. By electrochemical doping of glucose oxidase (GOx) on PPy nanotubules, an enzyme electrode has been fabricated. The kinetic parameter of biochemical reaction with glucose was evaluated. The formal Michaelis constant and maximum current calculated by computer were about 11.4 mmol $dm^3$ and 170.85 A respectively. Obviously, an affinity for the substrate and current response of the PPy nanotubules enzyme electrode are rather good, comparing with that of PPy film.

해양관측카메라 Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI)를 탑재한 다목적 실용위성(KOMPSAT) 1호기가 1999년 12월 21일 발사되었다. OSMI는 유연한 임무 수행을 위해 궤도운영중에 관측파장대역 선택과 응답 이득 조정이 가능하도록 설계되었다. 또한 OSMI는 기기 노화 등에 따른 성능 변화 감지 및 보정을 위해 태양광 보정을 궤도운영중 수행한다. 여러 이득 단계에 대해 발사후 복사 응답 특성을 기기 보정 측면에서 연구하였다. 발사전 실험실 성능 측정 결과에 근거하여 발사후 초기 운영 단계에서 측정한 태양광 보정 자료의 선형 curve fitting을 통해 발사후 복사 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 이 분석은 OSMI 기기 보정 및 영상 품질 이해에 유용할 것이다.

Purpose: This study compares quality crisis and management at Hyundai Motor in the late 1990s and Toyota Motor in the late 2000s. We can expect to induce more meaningful policy implications in quality management from this in-depth comparative case study. Methods: This study compares two cases at Hyundai and Toyota Motor how to overcome quality crisis based on the OESP (Organization-Environments-Strategy- Performance) model. Results: Hyundai Motor shows centralized approach based on the asymmetric organizational culture and the entrepreneurial leadership but Toyota shows decentralized, systematic approach based on the steady state leadership and symmetric organizational culture. The CEO's leadership have proved to be one of the important factors at both companies. Conclusion: The effective quality management in global contexts has become more and more difficult for the 'complexity explosions' in automobile industry. As a consequence, the future competitive edge of world automobile industry will come from the effective quality management of products in global contexts.

X-ray diffraction technique was used to quantify change of cellulose crystallinity during refining. XRD data confirmed that fiber wall delamination was caused by the structural conversion of celluloses which occurred in a liquid medium during refining. The quantified crystallinity of celluloses in pulp fibers was closely associated with the change of fiber wall delamination, which was defined by measurement of fiber wall thickness. In particular, it was well recognized that low intensity beating showed a better response in the change of crystallinity than high intensity one. The decrease o cellulose crystallinity during refining considerably enhanced the improvement of interfiber bonding ability of a dried sheet.

Bacterial components and their derivatives have been reported to mediate various immunomodulating activities and to activate immune cells including macrophage. In this study, the secretory and cellular macrophage response to teichoicated fragments (TFs) from pneumococcal cell wall subcomponent were examined. Tumoricidal activity was measured by MTT assay and secretory molecules were assessed by biological assay. After stimulation of macrophages with various doses of TFs for 18hrs, secretion of TNF-$\alpha$, nitrite and $H_2O$$_2$ were significantly increased as compared to medium-treated control. In addition, tumorcidal activity of TFs-treated macrophages was enhanced, whereas production of IL-1 and IL-6, and phagocytic activity were not induced. These data suggest that TFs is a potent inducer of macrophage secretory and cellular activities.

This paper addresses issues encountered in using the ISO and national standard codes to assess the hazards of whole-body vibration and repeat shocks. Their assessment methods are given in ISO 2631-1 (1974, 1985, 1997) and BS 6841 (1987) that are now available to us. Two standard codes can yield unfortunately different assessment results even for a single measured vibration signal. Possible reasons for such different results are pointed out and, furthermore, related questions that should be re-examined in the future are raised in this paper.

The dynamic behavior of crankshaft-bearing system in scroll compressor has been investigated using the combined methodologies of finite elements and transfer matrices. The finite element formulation is proposed including the field element for a shaft section and the point element at balancer weight locations, bearing locations, etc., whereas the conventional method is used with the elements. The Houbolt method is used to consider the time march for the integration of the system equations. The linear stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated for a finite cylindrical fluid-film bearing by solving the Reynolds equation, using finite difference method. The orbital response of crankshaft supported on the linear bearing model is obtained, considering balancer weights of motor rotor. And, the steady state displacement of crankshaft are compared with a variation in balancer weight. The loci of crankshaft at bearing locations are composed of the synchronous whirl component and the non-synchronous whirl component.

Portable communication devices such as laptop computers suffer impact-induced failure in their usage. Drop/impact performance of these products is one of important concerns of product design. Because of the small size of this kind of electronics products, it is very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to conduct drop tests to directly detect the failure mechanism and identify their drop behaviors. Finite element analysis provides a vital, powerful vehicle to solve the problems. The models are created with HYPERMESH, and the analysis is carried out with LS-DYNA3D. The analysis is focused on HDD impact behavior in acceleration peak values.
