The global regulator, GacS (global antibiotic and cyanide sensor kinase), was required for the increased resistance to hydrogen peroxide occurring as cultures of the rhizobacterium, P. chlororaphis O6, matured. Specific stationary-phase peroxidase and catalase isozymes were absent in the GacS mutant, whereas a manganese-superoxide dismutase isozyme was expressed earlier and to a great extent than wild type. In the wild type cell, transcript accumulation of rpoS was higher in late logarithmic-phase cells than cells from mid logarithmic- or stationary-phase. Transcripts from rpoS in the GacS mutant were reduced in each of these growth phases compared to the wild type expression. The down stream sequence from rpoS lacked sequences encoding a small RNA, rsmZ, found in other pseudomonads and implicated in control of genes activated by the GacS system. These findings suggest that GacS-mediated regulation of RpoS plays role in control of oxidative stress in P. chlororaphis O6 by as yet an unknown mechanism.

In this paper, the study of various ortho- and meta-substituted Magnolol derivatives is presented. The reaction enthalpies related to three antioxidant action mechanisms HAT, SET-PT and SPLET for substituted Magnolols have been calculated using DFT/B3LYP method in gas-phase and water. Calculated results show that electron-withdrawing substituents increase the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization potential (IP) and oxidation/reduction enthalpy (O/RE), while electron-donating ones cause a rise in the proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE) and proton affinity (PA). In ortho- position, substituents show larger effect on reaction enthalpies than in meta-position. In comparison to gas-phase, water attenuates the substituent effect on all reaction enthalpies. In gas-phase, BDEs are lower than PAs and IPs, i.e. HAT represents the thermodynamically preferred pathway. On the other hand, SPLET mechanism represents the thermodynamically favored process in water. Results show that calculated enthalpies can be successfully correlated with Hammett constants (${\sigma}_m$) of the substituted Magnolols. Furthermore, calculated IP and PA values for substituted Magnolols show linear dependence on the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital ($E_{HOMO}$).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the retention behavior of phenols and to predict their retention in RPLC. The retention data of twenty-five phenols were measured on a $\mu-{Bondapak}\;C_{18}$ and a polymeric $C_{18}$ columns with methanol-water and acetonitrile-water as a mobile phase. From the observation of enthalpy-entropy compensation phenomenon, the following conclusions are drawn with regard to the retention mechanism: 1) the retention mechanism of nitrophenols in different from that of metheyl-and chlorophenols in both mobile phase; 2) in methanol-water mobile phase, the retention mechanism of methyl-and chlorophenols is consistent in the range of methanol-water composition; 3) on the other hand, in the case of acetonitrile-water mobile phase, the retention mechanism depends on the volume fraction of acetonitrile. It means that the retention mechanism can not be explained only by a simple interaction. Based on retention data as compared with two columns, it may be said that the hydrophobic interaction of phenols with polymeric $C_{18}$ column was greater than that with monomeric $C_{18}$ column. The equations for predicting the retention of phenols were derived by using hydrophobic substituent constant $(\pi)$ and the sum of Hammett's constant $(\sigma)$ and Taft's steric constant $(E_s)$.

Superconducting fiber of high Tc $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\sigma}}$ was successfully prepared by the sol-gel method. The stoichiometric mixture of Y, Ba and Cu nitrates was dissolved in water, to which citric acid solution was added. Then ammonium hydroxide was added to the mixture in order to increase the pH to a value between 5.8 and 6.2. The mixture was heated carefully to form a homogeneous colloid sol at 358 K. The solution was viscous enough to draw a long gel fiber, which was then heated at 1223K for 8 hrs. under oxygen partial pressure of $Po_2$ = 1 atm., cooled slowly and annealed at 723K for 13 hrs.. The reacted superconducting sample maintained a fiber form with some shrinkage of its volume. The superconducting transition temperatures (Tc, onset and Tc, offset) of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\sigma}}$ have been determined to be approximately 95K and 82K, respectively. The superconducting phase was also confirmed by Meissner effect at liquid nitrogen boiling temperature.

For a certain operating point of a horizontal shaft bulb turbine (i.e. volume flow, net head, blade angle, guide vane angle) the efficiency for different pressure levels (i.e. different Thoma-coefficient ${\sigma}$) is calculated using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD-)-code including two-phase flow and a cavitation model. The results are compared with experimental results achieved at a closed loop test rig for model turbines. The comparison of the experimentally and numerically obtained efficiency and the visual impression of the cavitation show a good agreement. Especially the drop in efficiency is calculated with satisfying accuracy. This drop in efficiency in combination with the visual impression is of high practical importance since it contributes to determine the admissible cavitation in a bulb-turbine. It is seen that the incipient cavitation in Kaplan type turbines has no major importance in determing this admissible amount of cavitation.

In this paper, we have designed the fractional-N frequency synthesizer for bluetooth system using 0.35-um CMOS technology and 3.3-V single power supply. The designed synthesizer consist of phase-frequency detector (PFD), charge pump, loop filter, voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), frequency divider, and sigma-delta modulator. A dead zone free PFD is used and a modified charge pump having active cascode transistors is used. A Multi-modulus prescaler having CML D flip-flop is used and VCO having a tuning range from 746 MHz to 2.632 GHz at 3.3 V power supply is used. Total power dissipation is 32 mW and phase noise is -118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset.

Gas-Phase reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with anionic nucleophiles of SH-, F- and OH- are investigated theoretically at the MP2/6-311+G* level. The SN2 processes are all highly exothermic and proceed with a typ-icaI double-weIl reaction coordinate profile. The elimination reactions of methyl nitrite with SH- and F- are double-well energy surface processes,with stabilizedproduct complexes of NO-...H2S and NO-...HF, pro-ceeding by an E1 cb-like E2 mechanism. The $\beta-elimination$ of ethyl nitrite is an E2 type process. The $\alpha-elimi-nation$ reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with OH- have triple-well energy profiles of Elcb pathway with an $\alpha-carbanion$ intermediate which is stabilized bythe vicinal $nc\alpha-{\sigma}*o-N$ charge transfer interactions. CompIex-ation ofmethyl carbanion with HF seems to provide a stable intermediate within a triple-well energy profile of El cb channel in the reaction of F- with methyl nitrite.

The gas-phase nucleophilic substitution reaction of pentafluoroanisole with $OH^-$ and ${NH_2}^-$ nucleophiles have been studied theoretically using the AM1 method. Three reaction channels, $S_N2$, IPSO and $S_NAr$ (scheme 1), are all very exothermic so that all are accessible despite the varying central energy barriers which are much lower than the reactants level. In the IPSO and $S_NAr$ channels, the reactants form directly a stable ,${\sigma}$-anion complex which proceeds to form a proton transfer complex via a transition barrier corresponding to a loose ${\pi}$-type complex with the F-(or ${OCH_3}^-$) leaving group. Due to a greater number of probable reaction sites available for $S_NAr$ compared to the other two processes, the $S_NAr$ channel is favored as experimentally observed.

This study was conducted to elucidate mixing characteristics of the media to dertermine hydraulic model parameters of the three phase fluidized bed for the water quality management of aquaculture. The volume and H/D ratio of the reactor were 1.76 Liter and 10.9, respectively. The experimental results showed that variance $(\sigma^2)$ and dispersion number $(D/{\mu}L)$ were above 0.47 and $0.35\~\infty$, respectively. Therefore, the condition of the reactor was almost ideal complete mixing. The dependence of the overall oxygen-transfer coefficient $(K_{La})$ on each experimental variables through a multple linear regression was given by the following equation ; $$K_{La}\;=\;44.9(D_i/D_c)^{-0.4611}\;A_f^{0.8622}\;C_m^{-0.0746}\;d_p^{-0.4302}$$
