This study was conducted to investigate the adsorption-desorption characteristics of herbicide paraquat on clay minerals, humic materials, and soils under the laboratory conditions. Adsorption time of paraquat on clay minerals was faster than organic materials and soils. Adsorption amount on montmorillonite, 2:1 expanding-lattice clay mineral, was largest among the adsorbents tested. The adsorption capacity of paraquat was approximately 21 % of cation exchange capacity in soils, 45.1 % in kaolinite, and 80.6% in montmorillonite. Humic materials, humic acid and fulvic acid isolated from soil II, adsorbed larger amount of paraquat than kaolinite and soils. Distribution of tightly bound type of paraquat was larger in clay mineral and soils but loosely bound type was larger in humic acid and fulvic acid. In oxidized soil, the adsorption amount of paraquat was decreased to 85.1-95.5% of original soils. Distribution of unbound and loosely bound type of paraquat was decreased in oxidized soil but tightly bound type was increased. The competition cations decreased paraquat adsorption on humic materials and soils but not affected on montmorillonite. No difference was observed as the kinds of cations. In cation-saturated adsorbents, the adsorption amount was decreased largely in humic materials and soils but decreased a little in montmorillonite. The tightly bound type of paraquat in all adsorbents was not desorbed by pH variation, sonication, and cation application but loosely bound type was desorbed. However, the desorption amount was different as a kinds of adsorbents and desorption methods.

Formation of bound rubber depends on the filler-polymer interactions including physical adsorption, chemisorption, and mechanical interaction. Bound rubbers consist of tightly and loosely bound ones. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is composed of styrene, 1,2-, cis-1,4-, and trans-1,4-units. Filler-polymer interactions of each components of SBR with fillers, carbon black and silica, were studied by analysis of microstructure of the bound rubber. Filler-polymer interaction of the 1,2-unit with the fillers was found to be stronger than those of the other components and this phenomenon was shown more clearly in the tightly bound rubber.

Buserties are known to have layer structures with variable C dimension which depended on the nature interlayer catious and contents of water molecular between edge-sharing [MnO6] octabedral layers. Na-, Ca-, Mg-, and Zn-buserties were synthesized in the laboratory and studied for to know the structural states of water molecules and the role of catious in the buserite structures. With lowering the relative humidity(RH), Ca-buserite begins to dehydrate at 27% RH and proceeds further very slowly. Mg- and Zn- buserite also slow dehydration above 2% RH. With gradual ineveasing temperature Ca- and Zn-buserite show abrupt shifting of 10$\AA$ peak (10$\AA$-phare) toward 7$\AA$ peak. All of 7$\AA$-phare are further dehydrated to 5$\AA$-phare by further increasing temperature. It suggests that interlayer catious play a crucial role in the dehydration behavious of buserites. Simulation of one-dimensional X-ray diffraction patterns of buserties show that buserites have three layers of water molecules of different types: the very loosely bound and tightly bend waters, instead of two layers that was regarded by previous authers. The very loosely bound water is sited I open space of the interlayer, the loosely bound water is bound on the tightly bound water by hydrogen bond, and the tightly bond water in coodinately bound on the interlayer catious.

To develope more effective extraction methods for paraquat in soil, some modification methods were accomplished in two different types of soil. For extraction of tightly bound-paraquat, conc. HCl 70ml were added with different shaking times, and then $H_2SO_4$ reflux were performed for an hour. In this case, 60 minutes shaking were optimum and recovery were increased more $1.09{\sim}1.50$ folds(84.0% in high clay contents soil, but 96.7% in low clay contents soil) and the long-time consuming step, filtration were easily done, with decreasing filtration time were shorter 4.6 folds(ca. $11{\sim}14min.$). than general paraquat analytical method(ca. $55{\sim}65min.$). And only $H_2O_2$ digestion with different volume and refluxing time resulted in recovery increasing. Nevertheless, considering analyst's safety, 30ml of $H_2O_2$ addition and 30 minutes reflux were regarded as optimum condition. Although, Kjeldahl digestion with $H_2O_2$ showed relatively high recovery, it is not significant statistically. For extraction of loosely bound-paraquat, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0M of $NH_4Cl$ and of $CaCl_2$ compared with $1.5{\sim}24hr$ of different shaking time. There were no loosely bound residues of paraquat.

From the effect of bound water, this study aims to seek the potential reasons for difference of mechanical experiment results of subgrades soils. To attain the comparatively test condition of bound water, dry forming (DF) and wet forming (WF) were used in the specimen forming process before testing, series of laboratory tests, i.e., CBR tests, direct shear tests and compaction tests. The measured optimal moisture contents, maximum dry densities, CBR, cohesion c, and internal friction angle 𝜑 were given contrastive analysis. Then to detect the adsorptive bound water in the subgrade soils, the thermal gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) test were employed under different heating rates. The free water, loosely bound water and tightly bound water in soils were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. It was found that due to the different dehydration mechanics, the lost bound water in DF and WF process show their own characteristics. This may lead to the different mechanical properties of tested soils. The clayey particles have a great influence on the bound water adsorbed ability of subgrade soils. The more the clay content, the greater the difference of mechanical properties tested between the two forming methods. Moreover, in highway construction of southern China, the wet forming method is recommended for its higher authenticity in simulating the subgrade filed humidity.

Two kind of ${\beta}-glucosidase$, tightly-bound enzyme(TBE) and loosely-bound enzyme(LBE), were obtained from the conidia of Aspergillus nidulans. The existence of enzymes in conidia was conformed by the fact that these enzyme activities were proportional to the number of conidia. The levels of enzyme activities were independent of aging of the conidia. Enzymes were characterized partially. In spite of the physical and chemical treatments of conidia, there was no significant change in TBE activity. The optimum pH and temperature was 6.0 and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thermostability of the TBE was remarkably higher than that of mycelial ${\beta}-glucosidase$. The electrophoretic pattern of LBE was identical to that of mycelial ${\beta}-glucosidase$. These results suggest that conidial ${\beta}-glucosidase$ are involved in adaptation process of the conidia to variable environments.

In order to investigate the relation between sewage sludge solubilization and extracellular polymeric substances(EPS) during alkaline-ultrasonic pretreatment, SCOD/TCOD ratio, solubilization rate, VSS/TS ratio, VSS reduction rate, LB-EPS(Loosely-Bound EPS) and TB-EPS(Tightly-Bound EPS) were measured. At the condition of TS 1.0% and pH 12, solubilization rate increased by 27.7%, LB-EPS as Carbohydrate and Protein increased by 14.6 and 13.3 mg/L/g TS, respectively. Withal, VSS decreased by 26.7% and TB-EPS as Carbohydrate and Protein were extracted by 15.7 and 21.9 mg/L/g TS, respectively. Consequently, the concentrations of organic matter and LB-EPS increased and the trends appeared similarly. In addition, the concentrations trend of decreasing solid matter and extracted TB-EPS also appeared similarly.

Membrane proteins isolated from the coleoptile and mesocotyl tissues of corn seedlings were solubilized with Triton X100 and reconstituted with phosphatidylcholine at 2$0^{\circ}C$. The proteoliposomes were incubated and proton uptake into the vesicles was measured with a spectrophotometer. Addition of ATP to the reaction mixture was found to result in an active accumulation of proton into the vesicles. These results indicate that the preparation contains tightly bound phosphatidylcholine vesicles with reconstituted H+ -ATPase from the plant cell membranes.

${\alpha}$-Expansins are bound to the cell wall of plants and can be solubilized with an extraction buffer containing 1 M NaCl. Localization of ${\alpha}$-expansins in the cell wall was confirmed by immunogold labeling and electron microscopy. The subcellular localization of vegetative ${\beta}$-expansins has not yet been studied. Using antibodies specific for OsEXPB3, a vegetative ${\beta}$-expansin of rice (Oryza sativa L.), we found that OsEXPB3 is tightly bound to the cell wall and, unlike ${\alpha}$-expansins, cannot be solubilized with extraction buffer containing 1 M NaCl. OsEXPB3 protein could only be extracted with buffer containing SDS. The subcellular localization of the OsEXPB3 protein was confirmed by immunogold labeling and electron microscopy. Gold particles were mainly distributed over the primary cell walls. Immunohistochemistry showed that OsEXPB3 is present in all regions of the coleoptile and root tissues tested.

In this work, we derive a general lower bound to concurrence of an arbitrary mixture of two pure states, that is, rank-two multipartite quantum states. We show that the lower bound can tightly detect entanglement of rank-two states, and also can be implemented experimentally with present-day technologies, i.e. single-copy level measurement and classical post-processing.
