In the present we.k, temperature dependence of oxygen diffusivity in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film $D_f$ formed on gold electrode was investigated using steady-state rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique and modulated electrohydrodynamic (EHD) impedance technique. Both the diffusion rate defined as the ratio of oxygen diffusivity in the PVC film to the film thickness $D_f/\delta_f$ and the time constant $\delta_f^2/D_f$ for oxygen diffusion through the PVC film were obtained from plot of the limiting current versus disk rotation speed and from filing the EHD impedance spectra experimentally measured to those theoretically calculated on the basis of the diffusion equation for mass transport through the non-conductive and porous film, respectively. By combining measured $D_f/\delta_f$ with $\delta_f^2/D_f$, we determined $\delta_f\;and\;D_f$ at room temperature separately. As temperature increased, it appeared that the $D_f$ value measured for the PVC film-covered gold RDE was enhanced more rapidly than that $D_s$ value in the solution measured for the PVC film-free gold RDE. This means that the pores glowing with increasing temperature act as effective diffusion paths within the film. The present in-situ steady-state and modulated EHD measurements prove to be effective for determining $\delta_f\;and\;D_f$, separately and at the same time the porosity of the PVC film at temperatures below glass temperature $T_g$ of the film.

Many oxidative metabolites of tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs), active components of marijuana, were pharmacologically active, and 11-hydroxy-THCs, 11-oxo-${\Delta}^8$-THC, 7-oxo-${\Delta}^8$-THC, 8$\beta$, 9$\beta$-epoxyhexahydrocannabinol (EHHC), 9$\alpha$, l0$\alpha$-EHHC and 3'-hydroxy-${\Delta}^9$-THC were more active than THC in pharmacological effects such as catalepsy, hypothermia and barbiturate synergism in mice. Cannabidiol (CBD), another major component, was biotransfomred to two novel metabolites, 6-hydroxymethyl-${\Delta}^9$-THC and 3-pentyl-6, 7, 7a, 8, 9, lla-hexahydro-I, 7-dihydroxy-7, 1O-dimethyldibenzo[b, d]oxepin (PHDO) through 8R, 9-epoxy-CBD and 85, 9-epoxy-CBD, respectively. Both metabolites exhibited some pharmacological effects comparable to d9 - THe. Cannabinol (CBN), the other major component, was mainly metabolized to ll-hydroxy-CBN by hepatic microsomes of animals including humans. The pharmacological effects of the metabolite were higher than those of CBN demonstrating that II-hydroxylation of CBN is metabolic activation pathway of the cannabinoid as is the case in THCs. Tolerance and reciprocal cross-tolerance developed to pharmacological effects d8 - THC and ll-hydroxy-d8-THC , and the magnitude of tolerance development produced by the metabolite was significantly higher than that by d8-THC. The results indicate that ll-hydroxy-d8-THC has an important role not only in the pharmacological effects but also its tolerance development of d8 - THe. THCs and their metabolites competed to the specific binding of CP-55, 940, an agonist of cannabinoid receptor, to synaptic membrane from bovine cerebral cortex. The Ki value of THCs and their metabolites were closely paralleled to their pharmacological effects in mice. A novel cytochrome P450 (cyp2c29) was purified and identified as a major enzyme responsible for the metabolic activation of d8-THC at the II-position in the mouse liver. cDNA of CYP2C29 was cloned from a mouse cDNA library and its sequence was determined. The oxidation mechanism of THC by cyp2c29 was proposed.

Ionic dissociation rates of $\alpha$-chlorobenzyl ethyl ether in each solvent of toluene-$d_8$ and carbon tetrachloride were measured by the method of dynamic NMR spectroscopy. The spin system of these 1H NMR spectra was $AB_3$. The theoretical spectrum was calculated by computer simulation of dynamic NMR spectra, which agreed very well with observed spectra. From this computer simulation, the ionic dissociation rate constant k was obtained, and by Eyring plot with it, slope and intercept length was gained, from which kinetic parameters were calculated.The easiness of ionic dissociation depended upon solvent polarity. Activation enthalpy was 4.7 kcal/mole in toluene-$d_8$, 10.7 kcal/mole in carbon tetrachloride, and activation entropy was -35. 8 e.u. in toluene-$d_8$, -14.4 e.u. in carbon tetrachloride. It was understood that though the ${\Delta}H^{neq}$ value was small, this ionic dissociation had an easier procession in nonpolar solvents with increasing temperatures. Considering that the ionic dissociation could be thought as the first step of $S_N1$ mechanism, attention might be paid to the results that the value of ${\Delta}S^{neq}$ had a large negative value in comparison with a small ${\Delta}H^{neq}$.

Effects of anodization voltage on frequency characteristics of anodic oxide films on tantalum were analyzed based on the following impedance equatious : (equation omitted) Here $R_{f}$, $C_{f}$ and tan $\delta$$_{f}$ are equivalent series resistance in ohm, equivalent Belies capacitance in farad and dielectric loss, of anodic oxide films respectively Parameters P, $\tau$$_{ο}$, $\tau$$_{\omega}$, and Co are defined as follows: P=(d-w)/w, $\tau$$_{ο}$=$textsc{k}$$\rho$$_{ο}$, $\tau$$_{\omega}$=$textsc{k}$$\rho$$_{\omega}$, $C_{ο}$=$textsc{k}$A/d where d is the thickness of oxide film, $\omega$ is the diffusion layer thickness. $\rho$$_{ο}$ is the resistivity of oxide film at the interface of metal and the oxide, $\rho$$_{\omega}$ is the resistivity of oxide film at intrinsic region and A is the area of the film and $textsc{k}$=0.0885$\times$10$^{-12}$ $\times$dielectric constant, (in farad/cm). It was shown that dielectric loss and frequency dependence of equivalent series capacitance decrease as anodization voltage increases. This is a consequence of the fact that the thickness of diffusion layer increases a little with increasing anodization voltage whereas the total oxide thickness is proportional to the anodization voltage. The ngative deviation of measured values from tile relation, tan $\delta$$_{f}$=0.682 $\Delta$ $C_{f}$, was also discussed based on the Impedance equations given above. Here $\Delta$ $C_{f}$ is the change in capacitance between 0.1 and 1 KHZ.KHZ.Z.

This paper describes a 1 GHz, low-phase-noise CMOS fractional-N frequency synthesizer with an integrated LC VCO. The proposed frequency synthesizer, which uses a high-order delta-sigma modulator to suppress the fractional spurious tones at all multiples of the fractional frequency resolution offset, has 64 programmable frequency channels with frequency resolution of $f_ref/64$. The measured phase noise is as low as -110 dBc/Hz at a 200 KHz offset frequency from a carrier frequency of 980 MHz. The reference sideband spurs are -73.5 dBc. The prototype is implemented in a $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS process with triple metal layers. The active chip area is about $4mm^2$ and the prototype consumes 43 mW, including the VCO buffer power consumption, from a 3.3 V supply voltage.

물수지 분석을 통해서 유역의 수문순화 체계를 이해하기 위해서는 무엇보다 필요한 인자가 증발산량이다. 장기간에 걸쳐 연구유역에서 수소와 산소 동위원소를 이용하여 증발산량을 산정하였다. 물 분자를 이루는 이상적인 추적자인 수소와 산소 강우를 풍수기($4{\sim}10$월)와 갈수기(11월$\sim$3월)로 나누어 수소와 산소 동위원소 조성을 강수량 가중 평균치를 구하고 이 값을 지하수의 수소와 산소 동위원소 조성 값과 비교하여 증발산량을 산정한 것이다. 이러한 시도는 증발산량의 산정이 단순한 경험식이나 열전도 가정식이 아닌 실측했다는데 의의가 있다.

This paper introduces a monolithic chip 3.3V high-performance continuous-tune filter used in a CDP that can reconstruct the PDM or PWM signal output of a .SIGMA..DELTA. D/A converter. We also mentioned an active RC filter structure and filter order satisfying high-linearity and the design specification. In desigining the OP-AMP, using a structure that accepts some distortion we could reduce the chip area, and reducing the DC path using a new biascircuit gave us better power performance. The designed.SIGMA..DELTA. D/A converter post-processing filter does its smoothering operations and reconstructs the data without reducing the performance of the system.

We investigated response characteristics of twisted nematic (TN) cell with different nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) and cell gap d on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface. High transmittance and fast response time of the TN cell on the rubbed PI surface were achieved by using high birefringence (${\Delta}n$) and low cell gap d. The transmittance and response time of the TN cell on the rubbed PI surface decreased with decreasing ${\Delta}nd$. The fast response time of TN cell using high birefringence with ${\Delta}nd=0.363$ on the rubbed PI surface was measured 5.1 ms.

Induced circular dichroism spectra of racemic cobalt(III) complexes for $[Co(en)_3]^{3+},\;[Co(tn_)3]^{3+},\;cis-[Co(NH_3)(en)_2]^{3+},\;[Co({\beta}-ala)(en)2_]^{2+},\;[Co(gly)(en)_2]^{2+}\;and\;[Co(acac)(en)_2]^{2+}$ were measured when they were dissolved in aqueous d-tartrate2- solution at room temperature. Only a single negative CD spectrum was observed for all the complexes above in visible region(400∼500nm). It was interpreted that these CD bands were attributed to the difference in interaction between ${\Lambda}$-and ${\Delta}$-enantiomers with d-tartrate$^{2-}$. Namely, when d-tartrate$^{2-}$ was added to ${\Lambda}$-enantiomer and ${\Delta}$-enantiomer, it caused ${\Lambda}$-enantiomer to change greatly and ${\Delta}$-enantiomer to change only slightly; combined the results proved induced circular dichroism. The enantiomer for which the eluent has a stronger affinity should be eluted faster in ion-exchange column chromatography. It is possible to predict the elution order of chromatography from the sign of the induced CD if stronger interaction of chiral anion with the complex leads to greater change in the natural CD spectrum of the complex. The elution order was in complete agreement with the prediction from the sign of the induced CD spectrum for all the measured complexes.
