Ac susceptibility of iron-nitride magnetic fluids with various particle number densities was measured. Therelaxation time increases rapidly as the temperature decreases or the inter-particle interaction increases. The analysis of the data suggests that the activation energy is proportional to ${(k_{B}T/J_{typ})}^{\alpha}$ with $\alpha$~-0.24 in the lower temperature range in which the thermal energy is comparable to the magnetic dipole interaction.

The effects of ${\alpha}_1$-adrenergic stimulation on membrane potential, intracellular sodium activity $(a_N{^i{_a}})$, and contractility were investigated in the isolated papillary muscle of euthyroid, hyperthyroid, and hypothyroid guinea pigs. Cardiac alterations in the thyroid state have been shown to induce marked changes in action potential characteristics, the most pronounced shortening of action potential duration by hyperthyroidism and an increase in duration by hypothyroidism. $10^{-5}M$ Phenylephrine produced a decrease in $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ in euthyroid and hypothyroid preparations, but an increase in $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ in hyperthyroid ones. The major findings were that phenylephrine produced a stronger positive inotropic effect(PIE) without initial negative inotropic effect(NIE) in hyperthyroid preparations, while phenylephrine produced markedly NIE in hypothyroid ones. The alterations in membrane potential, $(a_N{^i{_a}})$, and contractility were abolished by $3{\times}10^{-5}M$ prazosin in hypothyroidism. In hypothyroid ventricular muscle, the decrease in $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ caused by phenylephrine were not abolished or reduced by $10^{-5}M$ strophanthidin, $10^{-5}M$ TTX, $3{\times}10^{-4}M$ lidocaine, or $100^{-5}M$ verapamil. These results indicate that the ${\alpha}_1$-adrenoceptor-mediated decrease in $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ is not associated with a stimulation of the $Na^+$-$K^+$ pump, inhibition of the $Na^+$ or $Ca^+$ channel in hypothyroid ventricular muscle. $10^{-5}M$ Phenylephrine decreased $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ but increased $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ in the presence of a PKC activator phorbol dibutyrate$(PDB_u)$. In conclusion, it is suggested that the following sequence of events in response to phenyleplhane occur in guinea pig ventricular muscle. First, changes in thyroid state may contribute to the ventacular electrophysiological propeties or ion transport system. Second, the adrenoceptor-mediated initial transient NIE may be associated with the decrease in $(a_N{^i{_a}})$ by PKC activation.

The effect of the oxygen content and the annealing temperature on the tensile behavior of the Ti-1.5Al-3Fe-0.25Si-(0.1~0.5)O alloy was investigated. The tensile properties were dependent on the volume fraction of the microstructure constituents, i.e. the equixed ${\alpha}$, equixed ${\beta}$ and lamellar ${\alpha}$. The results showed that the O-partitioned equixed ${\alpha}$ had a much higher strength compared to the equixed ${\beta}$. The strength of the lamellar ${\alpha}$ increased with increasing the annealing temperature because the O content of the lamellar ${\alpha}$ increased. Ti-1.5Al-3Fe-0.25Si-0.3O alloy annealed to $900^{\circ}C$ where the volume fraction of lamellar ${\alpha}$ was the highest exhibited an excellent combination of the strength (1198.5 MPa) and ductility (27.5%). The effect of the lamellar ${\alpha}$ on the ductility was discussed.

Background: The flowers of Inula japonica (Inulae Flos) have long been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In the present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of Inulae Flos Extract (IFE). Methods: The anti-inflammatory effects of IFE against nitric oxide (NO), $PGE_2$, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-6 release, as well as NF-${\kappa}B$ and MAP kinase activation were evaluated in RAW 264.7 cells. Results: IFE inhibited the production of NO and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In addition, IFE reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6. Furthermore, IFE inhibited the NF-${\kappa}B$ activation induced by LPS, which was associated with the abrogation of $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ degradation and subsequent decreases in nuclear p65 and p50 levels. Moreover, the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAP kinases in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells was suppressed by IFE in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: These results suggest that the anti-inflammation activities of IFE might be attributed to the inhibition of NO, iNOS and cytokine expression through the down-regulation of NF-${\kappa}B$ activation via suppression of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and MAP kinase phosphorylation in macrophages.

Acid- and pepsin-solubilized collagens were extracted from the skin of shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) and their physicochemical properties were characterized by amino acid analysis, SDS-PAGE, the composition of collagen types, solubility and denaturation temperature. Acid - and pepsin-solubilized collagens from shark skin had an imino acid of 188.8 and 186.2 residues/1,000 amino acids, respectively. SDS-PAGE showed two different${\alpha}$ chains ($\alpha1$ and $\alpha2$) and $\beta$-component. The component ratio of type I and V was 10:1, and the type III was not found. Solubility of acid-soluble collagen was low in the range of pH 6.0 to pH 11.0. On the other hand, pepsin-solubilized collagen showed a low solubility in the range of pH 7.0-9.0. Temperature for denaturation of acid- and pepsin-solubilized collagens were $25^{\circ}C$ and $27^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The purpose of this study is the investigation of chemical properties of wool treated with oxidants and protease at low temperature. The chemical degradation of the fibers were investigated by measuring $\alpha$-amimo acid contents and FT-IR analysis. In addition, urea-hydrogensulfite solubility was measured to compare to the oxidation and protease treated wool. The results were as follows. 1) By the oxidation of wool, cystine is oxidised to cysteic acid by way of the intermediate oxides, cystine-S-monooxide and cystine-S-dioxide, in the case hydrolysis catalysed by the protease catalyse. Also, $\alpha$-amimo acid contents is increased, and urea-hydrogensulfite solubility was lower than that of untreated wool. This chemical degradation of wool was occurred due to oxidate hydrolysis in the order of permonosulfate>dichloroisocyanuric acid$\geq$chlorine. 2) The chemical degradation of wool was accelerated by the protease treatment of oxidized wool. Oxidation of wool is considered to make the fiber more susceptibled to enzymatic attact by opening disulphide bond within wool. Enzymatic attact was effectively directed to the wool oxidised by permonosulfate.

We present 12CO (2-1) data for four spiral galaxies (NGC 4330, NGC 4402, NGC 4522, NGC 4569) in the Virgo cluster that are undergoing different ram pressure stages. The goal is to probe the detailed molecular gas properties under strong intra-cluster medium (ICM) pressure using high-resolution millimeter data taken with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). Combining this with Institut de RadioAstronomie $Millim{\acute{e}}trique$ (IRAM) data, we also study spatially resolved temperature and density distributions of the molecular gas. Comparing with multi-wavelength data (optical, $H\small{I}$, UV, $H{\alpha}$), we discuss how molecular gas properties and star formation activity change when a galaxy experiences $H\small{I}$ stripping. This study suggests that ICM pressure can modify the physical and chemical properties of the molecular gas significantly even if stripping does not take place. We discuss how this affects the star formation rate and galaxy evolution in the cluster environment.

Poly(trans-5-methylproline) (PTMP)의 변광회전에 따른 CD, ORD 및 uv 스펙트럼의 변화를 관찰하였다. PTMP의 정방향 변광회전은 유기강산이나 trifluoroethanol (TFE) 속에서 일어나며 역방향 변광회전은 TFE용액을 과량의 지방족 알코올로서 회전시킬때 일어났다. 정방향과 역방향 변광회전시의 CD, ORD, 및 uv 스펙트럼의 변화는 polyproline 변광회전시의 변화와 평형하게 일어났다. PTMP의 정방향 변광회전시 ${\alpha}CH-$양성자의 화학적이동은 0.3 ppm downfield로 이동하였고 환원 점도는 0.15에서 0.26(dl/g)로 증가하였다 적당한 용매의 혼합물에서는 형태 I 과 II는 평형을 이루었다. 이러한 모든 용액성질의 변화는 polyproline의 변화와 유사하기 때문에 I, II의 두 형태는 polyproline 형태 I, II와 같을 것이며 형태 I은 모두 시스아미드 결합을 가진 helix이고, 형태 II는 모두 트란스 아미드 결합을 가진 helix일 것이다.

Sodium n-Octanoate(SOC)와 n-Octylammonium Chloride(OAC)의 혼합마이셀화에 대하여 연구하기 위하여 임계마이셀농도(CMC)와 반대이온 결합상수(B)값을 SOC의 겉보기 몰분율($\alpha_1$)을 변화시키면서 측정하였다. SOC/OAC 혼합시스템의 마이셀화에 대한 여러 가지 열역학적 함수값($x_i$, $Y_i$, $C_i$, ${\alpha}_i^M$ 및 ${\Delta}H_{mix}$)을 비이상적 혼합마이셀화 모델에 의하여 계산하고 분석하였다. 그 결과 이러한 혼합계면활성제의 마이셀화는 이상적 거동으로부터 큰 음의 벗어남을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 SOC,OAC 및 그들 혼합체($\alpha_1$=0.5)의 마이셀화에 대한 열역학적 함수값(${\Delta}G^0_m$, ${\Delta}H^0_m$ 및 ${\Delta}S^0_m$)을 계산하기 위하여 온도에 따른 CMC 및 B 값의 변화를 측정하였다. 이러한 변화로부터 계산한 열역학적 함수값을 상호 비교함으로써 순수 및 혼합계면활성제의 마이셀화에 대하여 분석하였다.
