Bifunctional Fe-SBA-15-$SO_3H$ mesoporous materials with different Si/Fe molar ratios (3, 5, and 7) have been synthesized via a simple direct hydrothermal method and characterized by XRD, $N_2$-adsorption/desorption, TG/DTG and FT-IR techniques, and used as solid acid catalysts in the esterification of lactic acid with methanol. XRD and $N_2$ sorption characterizations show successful iron doping within the mesoporous channels of SBA-15-$SO_3H$. The FT-IR and TG/DTG characterizations also reveal the presence of iron. With the incorporation of Fe ions into the SBA-15-$SO_3H$, the acid sites substantially increased because of the self-separated acidity of the hydrolysis of $Fe^{3+}$ solutions. However, in the Si/Fe = 3 molar ratio, the catalytic conversion decreased which is caused by the reduced cooperation effect between the acid pairs due to the weakened hydrogen bonds and collapse of the pore structure. This further suggests that the mesoporous structure decreases with the decrease in Si/Fe ratio.

Purpose: The objective of the present article is to determine whether there are differences in vertical enlargement ratio among various sites within both jaws in a panoramic radiograph. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and seventy-threeimplant sites in panoramic radiographs were evaluated by two observers. Magnification ratios at various sites in both jaws were calculated and compared with each other. Result: The average vertical enlargement ratio in the panoramic radiograph was 1.264 and this value was larger than original ratio 1.250. Although vertical magnification ratio of maxillary molar area was higher than that of mandibular molar area, every group showed similar magnification ratio in clinical respect. Conclusion: Vertical magnification ratio of the maxillary molar area is statistically higher than that of the mandibular molar area in the panoramic radiograph, but it is clinically negligible.

Pyrazinamidase (PncA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the hydrolytic enzyme (hydrolase) that can hydrolyze substrate PZA to active form pyrazoic acid (POA). To investigate hydrolytic reaction of M. tuberculosis PncA, 1D NMR spectra were monitored at various molar ratios of PncA and PZA. The line-width of PZA was changed as PncA was added into PZA with different molar ratios. These results suggested that determination of PncA enzymatic activity could potentially serve as an indirect measure of PZA susceptibility.

(Ba/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/)TiO₃ (BST, 0.4< x <0.65) single crystals were successfully grown by the TSSG (Top-Seeded Solution Growth) method, using a commercial [100] SrTiO₃ or as-grown [100] BST single crystals as seed crystals. To obtain the BST single crystals with various compositions x, the Ba/sr molar ratios in the solutions were systematically controlled while the Ti ion content among all cations was fixed at 67 mol%. A linear regression curve between their x values and the molar ratios of Sr/(Ba + Sr) in the solutions could be obtained, which in turn could used to select the initial composition to produce BST crystal with an aimed x value. In addition, the isothermal growth was found more effective for obtaining a compositional uniformity than a slow cooling process.

Direct methylation behaviors of 20 amino acids with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) were studied under diluted conditions with silica. Amino acid concentration was controlled by dilution with silica ($SiO_2$) and the molar ratios of amino acid/silica were 0.20, 0.50, and 2.0. The molar ratios of amino acid/TMAH (0.51 - 4.64) also varied. It was found that arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, and glutamine did not generate any directly methylated pyrolysis products, whereas alanine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylanaline, valine, and proline generated all the directly methylated pyrolysis products. Tri- and tetra methylated products of lysine consisted of two types. Histidine and threonine hardly generated the partly methylated products. Mono- and dimethylated products of serine, tryptophan, and tyrosine were not observed. Relative intensities of the methylated products varied with the amino acid concentration, TMAH concentration, and pyrolysis temperature. Direct methylation behaviors of amino acids were explained by the structural characteristics of amino acids.

Size- and shape-controlled monodisperse wurtzite structured CdS nanorods have been successfully synthesized using a facile solution-based colloidal method. Depending on the control of injection/growth temperatures and the variation of Cd-to-S molar ratios, the morphology of the CdS nanocrystals (NCs) can be adjusted into bullet-like, rod-like, and dot-like shapes. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transition electron microscopy (TEM), and absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure, morphology, and optical properties of as-synthesized CdS NCs. It was found that uniform CdS nanorods could be successfully synthesized when the injection and growth temperatures were very high (> $360^{\circ}C$). The aspect ratios of different shaped (bullet-like or rod-like) CdS NCs could be controlled by simply adjusting the molar ratios between Cd and S.

Water-repellent coating solutions were synthesized by hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions with water using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and chlorotrimethylsilane (CTMS) as precursors. The solutions were coated on a PMMA sheet and thermally cured to prepare non-fluorinated water-repellent coating films. Coating films were characterized by water contact angles, UV-Vis transmittance and surface morphology. The contact angle of coating films prepared by varying the molar ratio of CTMS/TEOS to 0.6~1.0 exhibited a maximum value of $107^{\circ}$ when the CTMS/TEOS molar ratio was 0.8. The coating films showed a high transmittance over the visible range up to 90% when the CTMS/TEOS molar ratios were 0.6~0.8. However, when the molar ratios of CTMS/TEOS were 0.9~1.0, the transmittance of coating films was lower than 70% due to an uneven shape of the rough surface.

The effect of ferrous/ferric molar ratio on the formation of nano-sized magnetite particles was investigated by a co-precipitation method. Ferrous sulfate and ferric sulfate were used as iron sources and sodium hydroxide was used as a precipitant. In this experiment, the variables were the ferrous/ferric molar ratio (1.0, 1.25, 2.5 and 5.0) and the equivalent ratio (0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0), while the reaction temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and reaction time (30 min.) were fixed. Argon gas was flowed during the reactions to prevent the $Fe^{2+}$ from oxidizing in the air. Single-phase magnetite was synthesized when the equivalent ratio was above 2.0 with the ferrous/ferric molar ratios. However, goethite and magnetite were synthesized when the equivalent ratio was 1.0. The crystallinity of magnetite increased as the equivalent ratio increased up to 3.0. The crystallite size (5.6 to 11.6 nm), median particle size (15.4 to 19.5 nm), and saturation magnetization (43 to 71 $emu.g^{-1}$) changed depending on the ferrous/ferric molar ratio. The highest saturation magnetization (71 $emu.g^{-1}$) was obtained when the equivalent ratio was 3.0 and the ferrous/ferric molar ratio was 2.5.
