Spectral diffusion following direct triplet excitation from the ground state in glassy Methylbenzophenone as a function of transition energy has been studied. The concentrations of donor and acceptor have been determined for different transition energies. The geometrical distribution was determined by a computer simulation. The cluster size increases gradually with concentration and cluster percolation is observed at 0.31 mole fraction for a three dimensional system. The average distance between a donor and an acceptor also has been determined for different concentrations. The energy transfer efficiency changes abruptly at a critical concentration of 0.054, corresponding to a critical distance of 9.8 Å. The γvalue was evaluated to be 1.17.

Two compact sized globular proteins, β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin were kinetically characterized at the aqueous solution surface with the measurement of surface pressure (π) and surface concentration (Γ) via a radiotracer method. The adsorption kinetics was of diffusion control at early times, the rates of increase of πand Γ being lower at longer times due to growing energy barrier. At low concentrations, an apparent time lag was observed in the evolution of π for β-lactoglobulin but not for α-lactalbumin which was shown to be due to the non-linear nature of the p- G relationship for the former. The area per molecule of an adsorbed β-lactoglobulin during adsorption was smaller than that for spread monolayer since β-lactoglobulin was not fully unfolded during the adsorption. For α-lactalbumin, however, no such difference in the molecular areas for adsorbed and spread monolayer was observed indicating thereby that α-lactalbumin unfolded much more rapidly (has looser tertiary structure) than β-lactoglobulin. Surface excess concentrations of α-lactalbumin was found to evolve in two steps possibly due to the change in the orientation of the adsorbed protein from a side-on to an end-on orientation.

Uniformly-doped silicon thin films were fabricated by ion beam sputter deposition. The thin films had four levels of copper dopant concentration ranging between 1 ${\times}$1019 and 1 ${\times}$ 1021 atoms/cm3 . Concentrations of Copper dopants were determined by the isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to provide certified reference data for the quantitative surface analysis by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The copper-doped thin films were dissolved in a mixture of 1 M HF and 3 M HNO3 spiked with appropriate amounts of 65 Cu. For an accurate isotope ratio determination, both the detector dead time and the mass discrimination were appropriately corrected and isobaric interference from SiAr molecular ions was avoided by a careful sample pretreatment. An analyte recovery efficiency was obtained for the Cu spiked samples to evaluate accuracy of the method. Uncertainty of the determined copper concentrations, estimated following the EURACHEM Guide, was less than 4%, and detection limit of this method was 5.58 ${\times}$ 1016 atoms/cm3.

Depending on the range of shear rates, temperatures and concentrations, the potato starch suspension in water behaves as a typical dilatant system. The flow curves of the suspension at various concentrations and temperatures were obtained by using a Couette type rotational viscometer. The flow mechanism of the suspension is explained by a structure model of starch granules in the suspension. Based on the experimental results, a general flow equation for the dilatant system is proposed. By analyzing the temperature dependency of the relaxation time, the activation enthalpy and activation entropy for flow in the starch-water suspension were calculated, the former being about 10 kcal/mol.

The kinetic mechanism of Hafnia alvei aspartase in the amination direction has been determined in the absence of metal. The initial velocity pattern obtained by varying the concentration of fumarate at several fixed concentrations of NH4+ , shows an intersection on the left of the ordinate at pH 7.0, indicating that the kinetic mechanism is a sequential mechanism in which substrate inhibition by fumarate is observed. The dead-end inhibition pattern by varying the concentration of NH4+ at several fixed concentration of succinate shows an intersection on the left of the ordinate. These data are consistent with random addition of NH4+, or fumarate. The Haldane relationship gives a Keq of 1.18 ${\times}$10-3 M at pH 7.0, which is in agreement with the values obtained from the direct determination of reaction concentrations at equilibrium (6.0 $\pm0.2$ ${\times}$10-3 M).

The ionic strength dependent binding mode of 9-aminoacridine (9AA), a well-known DNA intercalator, to DNA is studied by flow linear dichroism, circular dichroism, fluorescence techniques and equilibrium dialysis. The DNA-bound 9AA exhibits spectral properties corresponding to the intercalative binding mode disregarding the salt concentrations; the angle between the long-axis transition moment of the 9AA molecule and DNA helix axis is calculated to be about 65°, indicating a significant deviation from the classical intercalation. At low salt concentrations, however, upwards bending curve in Stern-Volmer plot is observed (where 9AA is a fluorophore and DNA a quencher), indicating the coexistence of both static and dynamic quenching mechanisms or the existence of an additional binding site.

We have developed an alternative to the internal chemical reference based on a calibrated reference signal which is not a real NMR line but an electronically produced signal (HERETIC) and determined the phosphorus concentration using this method. The area ratio of HERETIC and sample peaks obtained from the standard samples was used to measure the concentrations of different samples directly. The analysis of phosphorus by this method showed the excellent linear regression coefficient ($R^2=0.9999$) for the concentration range from 20 ppm to 500 ppm with HERETIC peak as reference.

The prediction of emission concentrations in a 4cycle spark ignition engine was made by considering nonuniform model with thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium and kinetic mechanism of nitric oxide. Calculation of this model shows that a temperature difference of the order of 500K can be established across he cylinder. Results of the kinetic calculation of nitric oxide show that the temperature gradient across the cylinder has a profound effect on the nitric oxide formation. The predicted values for nitric oxide, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide agree with measured ones for a variety of equivalence ratio.

Photochemical reactions are important for the diurnal variation of the concentrations of air pollutants in the urban atmosphere. A photochemical reaction model was developed, which includes in terms of the effective chemical reaction. Various experimental results were introduced to the construction of model. To verify the applicability of the model, the simulated results were compared with those observed. By comparing the simulated results with those observed, it was shown that those two are in good agreement qualitatively. As a result, the photochemical reaction model which has been developed in this study is found to be useful for the prediction of concentrations of air pollutants in the atmosphere.

A one dimensional time dependent acid rain model considering size distribution of aerosols and hydrometeors is developed to predict observed chemical and physical properties of precipitation. Temporal variations of anions and cations observed are predicted fairly well with acid rain model simulations. It is found that aerosol depletion rates are highly dependent on aerosol sizes under the assumption of Marshall - Palmer raindrop size distribution. Also, the aerosol depletion during the initial rain event largely influences on ion concentrations in rainwaters.
