Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain caused by an external physical force, that may product a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in impairment of cognitive abilities or physical function. The purposes of this study were to overview injury mechanism and neural plasticity of traumatic brain injury. Injury mecanism includes exitotoxicity, production free radical, inflammation and apoptosis. Furthermore traumatic brain injury has protective mechanisms includes production of neural growth factor, heat shock protein, anti-inflammatory cytokines.

We present theoretical investigations of the self-assembled growth of one-dimensional (1D) molecular lines directed across the dimer rows on the H-terminated Si(001) surface [1]. Based on density-functional theory calculations, a new growth mechanism of the 1D acetylacetone line is proposed [2], which involves the radical chain reaction initiated at two dangling-bond sites on one side of two adjacent Si dimers. It is also enabled that, if an H-free Si dimer were employed as the initial reaction site, a 1D acetylacetone line can grow along the dimer row. Our findings represent the first insight into the growth of 1D molecular lines not only across but also along the dimer rows on the H-terminated Si(001) surface.

Color transition mechanism of shikonin as an acid-alkali indicator was studied. It was confirmed that the presence of phenolic hydroxy radical was essential for the color change of shikonin. But in accordance with shikonin sodium salt (blue color), which was presumed to make chelation as six membered rings. Shikonin in alkaline solution, by dissociated phenolic protons of naphthoquinone nucleous, converted to the corresponding anion and instead of disappearance tautomerization, electron delocalization occurred and an additional pair of nonbonding electrons in the anion was available for interaction with .phi. electron system of the ring with further extension of the conjugation. It was responsible for its blue color(corresponding color: orange) with needs less energy difference (${\phi}{\rarw}{\phi}^{*}$) because of conjugation extension. Shikonin sodium salt seems to have similar nuclear structure as shikonin anion.

The combustion characteristics of a mixture of acetaldehyde, oxygen and argon behind a reflected shock wave at temperatures ranging from 1320 to 1897 K at 100 torr were studied. The emission from the OH radical at 306.4 nm and the pressure profile behind the reflected shock were measured to monitor ignition delay time. The ignition delay times were computed from a proposed mechanism of 110 elementary reactions involving 34 species. The simulation and sensitivity analysis confirm that the main channel for oxidation of acetaldehyde at high temperature consists of the Rice-herzfeld mechanism, the decomposition and oxidation of HCO, and the reaction of H with $O_2$.

The Wittig-oxy-Cope rearrangements of deprotonated diallyl ether, I, $CH_2={\bar{C}}H-CH-O-CH_2-CH=CH_2$, have been investigated theoretically by the AM1 method. A two step mechanism forming a Wittig product ion, II, $(CH_2=CH)$ $(CH_2=CH-CH_2)$ $CHO^-$, through a radical-pair intermediate was found to provide the most favored reaction pathway in the Wittig rearrangement. The subsequent oxy-Cope rearrangement from species II also involves a two step mechanism through a biradicaloid intermediate. The intramolecular proton transfer in I (to form $CH_2=CH-CH_2-O-{\bar{C}}H-CH=CH_2$) is a higher activation energy barrier process compared to the Wittig and oxy-Cope rearrangements and is considered to be insignificant. These results are in good agreement with the condensed-phase as well as gas-phase experimental results.

$Carisolv^{TM}$ system was developed for removal of carious dentin with chemo-mechanical method by Swedish researcher. $Carisolv^{TM}$ is composed of 0.5% NaClO and three kinds of amino acid, i.e. glutamic acid, leucine and lysin. After these agents are mixed together, the gel mixed is applied to carious dentin and the carious dentin is removed with hand instrument without using burs. The mechanism of softening the dentin is postulated that the degenerated collagen by caries is chlorinated and the decomposed. But the details of the mechanism are not clarified yet.(omitted)

Macroporous Poly(Methacrylic acid-co-Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate) Rods were in situ thermal initialized within a empty column($3.9{\times}150mm$) by free radical polymerization. The polymerization mixture was consisted of monomer, cross-linking monomer, porogenic solvent, initiator and control the ratio of these materials, column efficiency could be developed. Caffeine and tryptophan as separation substances and the retention mechanism of this kind of monolithic column was mainly hydrogen bond function.

Despite of the impressive progress made in the Evolutionary techno-economics during the last two decades, there have been very little, if not at all, theoretical advancement in explaining an endogenous mechanism of transforming a technological paradigm within self-perpetuatingstructural dynamics. The question poorly attempted was raised by Schumpeter a century ago in his effort to overcome the well-known 'Walras' trap'. Although there have been increasing number of researchers recently tackling the issue quite seriously from within the Evolutionary school, I see it that radical reconstruction of the basic principle of Evolutionary research framework is urgently needed to solve the century long fundamental question, from evolutionary approach to transformational approach. In the paper, I will show the theoretical feasibility of explaining an endogenous mechanism of paradigm transformation, relying upon the concept of localized dynamics and the concept of morphogenetic structuration. It should be emphasized that there must be aendogenous process of deepening structural Instability generated in the process of economic coordination to secure efficient circular flow. The concept of development bottleneck initiated by the Baumol's cost disease could be regarded as one of the important source of such mechanism. Unfortunately, however, it is a brief conceptual description presented in the paper rather than a comprehensive analytical model, due to the space limitation imposed.

A qualitative study was made on the mechanism of dextran synthesis by dextransucrase. Enzymatic synthesis of dextran was experimentally studied with initial sucrose concentration from 50g/$\ell$ to 150g/$\ell$. The molecular weight distribution of synthesized dextran was measured by using on-line gel Permeation chromatographic system Sucrose was observed not to work as a primer within the range of concentration tested. At the initial sucrose concentration of 50g/$\ell$, dextran with molecular weight of medium range ($10^4-2{\times}10^6$) was synthesized due to the mass transfer limitation of sucrose. The amount of the dextran of medium range decreased with the initial sucrose concentration. Dextran was likely to be synthesized by radical chain polymerization mechanism since the dextran of medium range was not produced at higher sucrose concentrations.

A Study on the effect of the additives in lubricating oil was investigated on the basis of the thermal activated wear theory in terms of their wear behaviours, using four ballwear machine. The sample oils, which included diethyl-3, 5-di-t-butyi-4-hydroxy-benzyl phosphonate (DEP), ZDDP and TCP additives respectively, showed distinct wear characteristics depending upon the bulk oil temperature and the sliding velocity. The newly synthesized additive, viz., DEP showed excellent antiwear performance cornpared with the conventional additives, ZDDP and TCP. On the basis of the experimental results, it is reduced that the wear mechanism of the conventional additives, viz., ZDDP and TCP is the protective film formation and their antiwear capability is depending upon the shearing strength of the film formed. On the other hand, the new additive, DEP showed that the secondary activation energy was much eliminated and so, the thermal instability was reduced by the hydrogen scavenging reaction of the new additive, which was virtually an endothermic reaction process.In conclusion, a new concept of antiwear mechanism is estabilished and testified. And new chemical, which showed the function of hydrogen and free radical scavenging role, is synthesized and introduced as the new, highly antiwear effective lubricating oil additive.
