It has been elucidated that magnolol and honokiol, isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia obovata, had potent antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans. They also show a significant antibacterial activity against Bacillus anthracis, which causes malignant pustule and woolsorter disease in human. Some hydroxybiphenyl derivatives are synthesized from starting materials, phenylphenols and biphenols by means of Claisen's rearrangement and Elb's method to develop more potent antibacterial chemicals and to investigate the structure-activity relationships. The introduction of allyl groups to the aromatic rings of starting materials shows increase of antibacterial activities, but the number and positions of them do not effect their activities. Furthermore, the introduction of hydroxy group to aromatic rings also increases the activity.

When operating lathe gear box which is equipped with geared transmission, it sometimes generates loud noise and excessive vibrations. In order to identify their causes, in this study, torsional and lateral vibration characteristics including critical speeds of the gear transmission system are firstly analyzed using lumped parameter models. Natural frequencies and mode shapes of the gear box structure are also analyzed by using the modal test. Furthermore, measured vibration and noise signals during operations are analyzed and compared with theoretical analysis results. After all, it is concluded that the primary cause of the excessive noise and vibrations is the resonance between gear meshing frequency including its side bands, the frequencies of shaft bending and torsional vibrations, and the natural frequencies of the gear box structure. Consequently the noise and vibration levels are greatly reduced by avoiding resonance between the natural frequencies and gear meshing frequencies through the rearrangement of the gears on the transmission shaft without any gear ratio change.

The nature of the two isomers of 4-nitroazoxybenzenes in strongly acidic solution have been analyzed by U.V. spectrophotometry. Oxygen atom in the azoxy-group of $\alpha$-and $\beta$-4-nitroazoxybenzene in strong acid solution migrates neither to para position nor ortho position of the unsubstituted benzene ring of the compound in contrast with the cases of methyl-and bromo-substituted azoxybenzene, and shown no Wallach rearrangement. Since the $^1A{\rightarrow}^1H$ bands of the spectra shown hyperchromic effect whereas the ${\pi}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ bands of them exhibit extream hypochromic effect, it appears most likely that trans ${\rightarrow}$cis isomerization take place in the media. A mechanism of a triangular transition state by which the transformation might be proceeded, is proposed.

The present study is focused on the small scale turbulent mixing processes in the scalar Held. In order to deal with molecular mixing in turbulent flow, the linear eddy model is addressed. In each realization, the molecular mixing term is implemented deterministically, and turbulent stirring is represented by a sequence of instantaneous, statistically independent rearrangement event called by triplet map. The LEM approach is applied with relatively simple conditions. The characteristics of scalar mixing and PDF profiles are addressed in detail.

The potential energy surface (PES) for the loss of HCN or HNC from the pyrazine molecular ion was determined based on quantum chemical calculations using the G3//B3LYP method. Four possible dissociation pathways to form four $C_3H_3N^{+{{\bullet}}$ isomers were examined. A Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus quasi-equilibrium theory model calculation was performed to predict the dissociation rate constant and the product branching ratio on the basis of the obtained PES. The resultant rate constant for the HCN loss agreed with the previous experimental result. The kinetic analysis predicted that the formation of $CH=CHN{\equiv}CH^{+{\bullet}}+HCN$ was predominant, which occurred by three consecutive steps, a C-C bond cleavage to form a linear intermediate, a rearrangement to form an H-bridged intermediate, and elimination of HCN.

For the purpose of survey of the antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176 with the introduction of hydroxyl and allyl groups to o-phenylphenol (Fig. 2, 1), 4-hydroxy-o-phenylphenol (2), and 3,6-diallyl-4-hydroxy-o-phenylphenol (4) were synthesized, sucessively. The synthesized compounds, 2 and 4 showed more potent antibacterial activity than the starting material, 1. The hydroxyl group was supposed to the essential element for the antibacterial activity and the introduction of allyl group to phenolic ring to be another element to increase the activity.

It is visualized that dislocations move straightly in polycrystalline structure and the trans-grain dislocation moving occur from yield point to ultimate tensile stress. Some fracturemodes in uniaxial tensile test are ilustrated in order to explain that after the ultimate point the grains deforms by twins and the rotations of grains make cracks at the grain-boundaries by the incompatibility . The luders banks. which propagates along the axis of the specimen, are twin bands whcih are formed by rearrangement of the atoms within the structure of three-dimensional crystallizing $\pi$-bondings. The fatigue limit can be found through the atom's rolling back motion during elastic deformation inthe uniaxial tensile test by the change of the gradient.

Changes in pyrene partitioning due to mineral surface adsorptive fractionation processes of humic substances (HS) were examined in model environmental systems. For purified Aldrich humic acid(PAHA), carbon-normalized pyrene binding coefficients ( $K_{oc}$ ) for the residual (i.e., nonadsorbed and dissolved) PAHA components were different from the original dissolved PAHA $K_{oc}$ , value prior to contact with mineral suspensions. A positive correlation between the extent of pyrene binding and weight-average molecular weight (M $W_{w}$) of residual PAHA components was observed, which appeared to be unaffected by the specific mineral adsorbents use and fractionation mechanisms. A similar positive correlation was not observed with the adsorbed PAHA components, suggesting that conformational changes occurred for the mineral-associated components upon adsorption. Nonlinear pyrene sorption to mineral-associated PAHA was observed, and the degree of nonlinearity is hypothesized to be dependent on adsorptive fractionation effects and/or structural rearrangement of the adsorbed PAHA components.s.

Variations of piezoelectric properties and compressive strength of Sr-doped PZT ceramics were investigated with poling direction. The electro-mechanical coupling constants (k31 and k33) were increased linearly with increasing poling strength. The volume fraction of intergranular fracture also increased with incresing poling strength due to weakening of grain boundaries by domain rearrangement during poling process. The internal stresses induced from the poling at 2.5 kV/mm parallel and perpendicular to the poling direction poled were 405 MPa and 89 MPa, respectively. The compressive strength of the specimen poled parallel to the poling direction was higher than that perpendicular to the poling direction.

Needle coke is an important material for graphite electrodes. Delayed coking is used to produce needle coke. Producing good quality needle coke is not simple because it is a multi-parameter controlled process. Apart from that, it is important to understand the mechanism responsible for the delayed coking process, which involves mesophase formation and uniaxial rearrangement. Temperature and pressure need to be optimized for the different substances in every feedstock. Saturate hydrocarbon, aromatic, resin and asphaltene compounds are the main components in the delayed coking process for a low Coefficient Thermal Expansion value. In addition, heteroatoms, such as sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen and metal impurities, must be considered for a better graphitization process that prevents the puffing effect and produces better mesophase formation.
