Transdermal iontophoresis is a physical enhancement technique to facilitate the delivery of primarily charged molecules across the skin. Principal mechanism of iontophoresis is electrorepulsion experienced by the charged solutes under the application of a potential gradient. In this work, we have investigated several factors (concentration of NADPH, current density) that can affect the iontophoretic flux. We also studied the stability of NADPH in aqueous solution with/without various antioxidants such as butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT). (omitted)

To investigate the solute pattern of salt marsh plants in Suncheon Bay in Korea, plants and soil samples were collected at three sites from July to September 2011. The soil pH around the investigated species was weakly alkaline, 6.9-8.1. The total ion and Cl- content of site 1 gradually increased, while those of site 2 and site 3 were lowest in August and highest in September. The exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $K^+$ in the soil were relatively constant during the study period, but the soil exchangeable $Na^+$ content was variable. Carex scabrifolia and Phragmites communis had constant leaf water content and very high concentrations of soluble carbohydrates during the study period. However, Suaeda malacosperma and S. japonica had high leaf water content and constant very low soluble carbohydrate concentrations. Carex scabrifolia accumulated similar amounts of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ ions in its leaves. Phragmites communis contained a high concentration of $K^+$ ions. Suada japonica and S. malacosperma had more $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions than $K^+$ ions in their leaves. Suaeda japonica had higher levels of glycine betaine in its leaves under saline conditions than C. scabrifolia and P. communis. Consequently, the physiological characteristics of salt marsh chenopodiaceous plants (S. japonica and S. malacosperma) were the high storage capacity for inorganic ions (especially alkali cations and chloride) and accumulation of glycine betaine, but monocotyledonous plant species (C. scabrifolia and P. communis) showed high $K^+$concentrations, efficient regulation of ionic uptake, and accumulation of soluble carbohydrates. These characteristics might enable salt marsh plants to grow in saline habitats.

Salmonella, a main cause of foodborne diseases, encounters a variety of environmental stresses and overcomes the stresses by multiple resistance strategies. One of the general responses to hyperosmotic stress is to import or produce compatible solutes so that cells maintain fluid balance and protect proteins and lipids from denaturation. The ProP and ProU systems are the main transport systems for compatible solutes. The OsmU system, recently identified as a third osmoprotectant transport system, debilitates excessive growth as well by reducing production of trehalose. We studied a fourth putative osmoprotectant transport system, YehZYXW, with high sequence similarity with the OsmU system. A Salmonella strain lacking YehZ, a predicted substrate-binding protein, did not suffer from hyperosmolarity but rather grew more rapidly than the wild type regardless of glycine betaine, an osmoprotectant, suggesting that the YehZYXW system controls bacterial growth irrespective of transporting glycine betaine. However, the growth advantage of ${\Delta}yehZ$ was not attributable to an increase in OtsBA-mediated trehalose production, which is responsible for the outcompetition of the ${\Delta}osmU$ strain. Overexpressed YehZ in trans was capable of deaccelerating bacterial growth vice versa, supporting a role of YehZ in dampening growth. The expression of yehZ was increased in response to nutrient starvation, acidic pH, and the presence of glycine betaine under hyperosmotic stress. Identifying substrates for YehZ will help decipher the role of the YehZYXW system in regulating bacterial growth in response to environmental cues.

$ZnSO_4$- $Na_2$$SO_4$-$H_2$$SO_4$-$NaOH-H_2$O계에 대해 전해질의 농도를 변화시키며 $25^{\circ}C$에서 용액의 pH를 측정하고, K-value방법을 이용하여 이온평형을 해석하였다. 물의 활동도와 용질의 활동도계수는 Pitzer식으로 계산하였다. 평형상태에서 존재하는 용질들의 농도와 활동도계를 전해질의 초기농도로부터 이온평형을 해석하여 구할 수 있었다 이온강도가 4 m정도로 진한 용액에서 pH측정값과 이온평형 해석으로 구한 pH 이론 값은 서로 잘 일치하였다. 액의 이온강도가 3.5에서 4.3사이의 실험조건에서 Pitzer식으로 구한 $ZnSO_4$의 평균이온 활동도계수는 문헌에 발표된 값과 잘 일치하였다.

이온쌍크로마토그래피에서 방향족 유기산들의 머무름을 연구하기 위하여 Amberlite XAD-4 수지에 대한 분배계수 값을 측정하였다. 유기산들의 XAD-4 수지에 대한 흡착은 시료의 농도, 용액의 pH 그리고 이온쌍 형성시약의 농도에 따라 영향을 받는다. Tetraalkylammonium염과 같은 이온쌍 형성 시약에 의한 유기산의 XAD-4 수지에 대한 흡착 증가는 전기적 이중층에 의한 이온 상호작용에 기인됨을 알았으며, 유기산과 이온쌍 형성 시약과의 상호작용은 공존이온과 상대이온의 종류와 농도에 따라 영향을 받음을 알았다. 한편, 이온쌍 형성시약과 메탄올의 농도 변화에 따른 XAD-4수지에 대한 유기산의 뱃치법과 용리법에서 얻은 용량인자의 관계는 좋은 직선관계를 보여주었다. 따라서 뱃치법의 실험으로써 용리법의 머무름을 예측할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

용매 존재하에서 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate와 acrylamide, N, N-dimethylamide 및 methylmethacrylate를 함량에 따라 3종류의 공중합체 수화겔막을 제조한 다음 이들 막에 알코올용질의 투과 및 분배계수를 측정하였으며, 이 측정값들을 이용하여 용질의 투과 메카니즘을 논의하였다. 수화겔막에서 유기용질의 투과계수는 그 분자의 크기에 주로 의존하였다. 그러나 수화겔막 내에 존재하는 물의 함량이 낮아지면 막에 대한 용질의 용해도가 점차 중요해짐을 또한 알 수 있었다. 분배계수의 측정 결과에 의하면 수화겔막에서의 용질의 분배는 주로 막과 용질사이에 존재하는 소수성 상호작용에 의해 조절되었다. 그리고 수화겔막에 유기용질의 확산은 전적으로 빈자리에 의존하며, 물분자와 용질 사이에 극성-편극성 및 수소결합도 부분적으로 영향을 미치나 그 정도가 아주 미약함을 확인하였다.

Effect of cold rolling on microstructural changes has been investigated for a Zn-15%Al alloy to elucidate the reason for its work softening behavior. Fully annealed microstructure of the Zn-15%Al alloy is characterized by ${\eta}$ grains and (${\eta}+{\alpha}$) lamellar colonies, where ${\eta}$ and ${\alpha}$ are Zn-rich HCP and Al-rich FCC phases, respectively. The hardness decreases continuously with increasing cold rolling degree, exhibiting work softening behavior. It is revealed that during the cold rolling, (${\eta}+{\alpha}$) lamellar colonies gradually change into equiaxed ${\eta}$ and ${\alpha}$ grains due to dynamic recrystallization at room temperature, while pre-existing ${\eta}$ grains are only deformed without recrystallization. Furthermore, cold rolling causes the precipitation of dissolved Al solutes in ${\eta}$ grains. In view of these results, change of (${\eta}+{\alpha}$) phases from lamellar to equiaxed morphology, which results in structural softness and increase in equiaxed ${\eta}/{\alpha}$ grain boundaries with higher mobility, and deterioration of solution hardening by precipitation of Al solutes from ${\eta}$ grains, are thought to contribute to the work softening of Zn-15%Al alloy.

Single-well-gas-sparging tests were developed and evaluated for assessing the feasibility of in-situ aerobic cometabolism of trichloroethylene (TCE), using propane as a growth substrate. To evaluate transport characteristics of dissolved solutes [sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or bromide (non-reactive tracers), propane (a growth substrate), ethylene, propylene (nontoxic surrogates to probe for CAH transformation activity), and DO], push-pull transport tests were performed. Mass balance showed about 90% of the injected bromide and about 80% of the injected SF6 were recovered, and the recoveries of other solutes were comparable with bromide and slightly higher than SF6. A series of Gas-Sparging Biostimulation tests were performed by sparging propane/oxygen/argon/SF6 gas mixtures, and temporal ground water samples were obtained from the injection well under natural gradient 'drift' conditions. The decreased time for propane depletion and the longer time to deplete SF6 as a conservative tracer indicate the progress of biostimulation. Gas-Sparging Activity tests were performed. .Propane utilization, DO consumption, and ethylene and propylene cometabolism were well demonstrated. The stimulated propane-utilizers cometabolized ethylene and propylene to produce ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, as cometabolic by-products, respectively. Gas-Sparging Acetylene Blocking tests were performed by sparging gas mixtures including acetylene to demonstrate the involvement of monooxygenase enzymes. Gas substrate degradation was essentially completely Inhibited in the presence of acetylene, and no production of the corresponding oxides was also observed. The Gas-Sparging tests supports the evidences that the successive stimulation of propane-oxidizing microorganisms, cometabolic transformation of ethylene and propylene by the enzyme responsible for methane and propane degradation.

Sing]e-well-push-pull tests were developed for use in assessing the feasibility of in-situ aerobic cometabolism of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). The series includes Transport tests, Biostimulation tests, and Activity tests. Transport tests are conducted to evaluate the mobility of solutes used in subsequent tests. These included bromide or chloride (conservative tracers), propane (growth substrate), ethylene, propylene (CAH surrogates), dissolved oxygen (electron acceptor) and nitrate (a minor nutrient). Tests were conducted at an experimental well field of Oregon State University. At this site, extraction phase breakthrough curves for all solutes were similar, indicating apparent conservative transport of the dissolved gases and nitrate prior to biostimulation. Biostimulation tests were conducted to stimulate propane-utilizing activity of indigenous microorganisms and consisted of sequential injections of site groundwater containing dissolved propane and oxygen. Biostimulation was detected by the increase in rates of propane and oxygen utilization after each injection. Activity tests were conducted to quantify rates of substrate utilization and to confirm that CAH-transforming activity had been stimulated. In particular, the transformation of injected CAH surrogates ethylene and propylene to the cometabolic byproducts ethylene oxide and propylene oxide provided evidence that activity of the monooxygenase enzyme system, responsible for aerobic cometabolic transformations of CAHs had been stimulated. Estimated zero-order transformation rates decreased in the order propane > ethylene > propylene. The series of push-pu3l tests developed and field tested in this study should prove useful for conducting rapid, low-cost feasibility assessments for in situ aerobic cometabolism of CAHs.

We have evaluated the hydroxyl group-solvent specific interactions by using a Lichrosorb RP18 stationary phase and by measuring the retention data of carefully selected solutes in 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, and 90/10(v/v%) methanol/water eluents at 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 ${^{\circ}C}$. The selected solutes are 3 positional isomers of phenylpropanol, that is, 1-phenyl-1-propanol, 1-phenyl-2-propanol, and 3-phenyl-1-propanol. There exist clear discrepancies in ${\Delta}H^o$ (solute transfer enthalpy from the mobile to the stationary phase) and $T{\Delta}S^o$ (solute transfer entropy) among positional isomers. The difference in ${\Delta}H^o$ and $T{\Delta}S^o$ between secondary alcohols (1-phenyl-1-propanol and 1-phenyl-2-propanol)is negligible compared to the difference between the primary alcohol (1-phenyl-3-propanol) and secondary alcohols. The $T{\Delta}S^o$ values of 3-phenyl-1-propanol are close to those of butylbenzene while the $T{\Delta}S^o$ values of secondary alcohols are close to those of propylbenzene. The difference in ${\Delta}{\Delta}H^o$ (specific solute-mobile phase interaction enthalpy) between the primary alcohol and the secondary alcohol decreases with increase of methanol content in the mobile phase. A unique observation is an extremum for 1-phenyl-3-propanol in the plot of $T{\Delta}{\Delta}S^o$ vs. methanol volume %. The positive sign of $T{\Delta}{\Delta}S^o$ of 3-phenyl-1-propanol implies that the entropy of 3-phenyl-1-propanol is greater than that of the hypothetical alkylbenzene (the same size and shape as phenylpropanol) in the mobile phase.
