[ $CO_3O_4/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ ] catalysts were reported high activity on the low temperature CO oxidation. The effects of the calcination temperature, the loaded amount of cobalt and the oxygen concentration on the characteristics of CO oxidation have been investigated for a emergency escape mask cartridge. $Co(NO_3)_2\cdot6H_2O$ was used as cobalt precursor and the catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. TGA shows that enough calcination is accomplished at $450^{\circ}C$ and cobalt phase is $Co_3O_4$ after calcination in the temperature range of $300\ ~500^{\circ}C$. The specific surface area and pore volume of catalysts are decreased with increasing of loaded amount of cobalt. And with the increase of loaded amount of cobalt and the oxygen concentration, the catalytic activity is increased.

Objective : This study was produced to examine the effects of moxibustion that had been played important role to traditional oriental medical treatment on disease. Recently, it was reported that moxi-tar which is generated in the process of moxibustion as burning combustibles decreased NO and iNOS generation in $C_6-glioma$ and RAW 264.7 cells in our lab. The purpose of this research was to investigate the protect reaction on cell injury induced by the $H_2O_2$ in $C_6-glioma$ cells. Methods : $C_6-glioma$ cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 with FBS 10% in $CO_2$ incubator. To study the protective effects of moxi-tar, we observed cell viability, DPPH activity, SOD activity, catalase activity and cell morphology after injury with $H_2O_2$. Results : Moxi-tar increased cell viability about twice as much as that of being injury by $H_2O_2$(moxi-tar $40\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $H_2O_2\;500\;{\mu}\;M$). And the results of free radical scavenger activity ($80\;{\mu}g/\;m{\ell}\;:\;78.91\;{\pm}\; 4.4%$), SOD activity and catalase activity ($80\;{\mu}g/\;m{\ell}$: 21.6 unit/ mg protein) were increased by moxi- tar as dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: we concluded that the effects of moxibustion which is played important role in Oriental medicine, might be free radical scavenger effects induced by moxi-tar.

The spinel $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders were synthesized using 0.2 $M-FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_{2}O$ and 0.5 M-NaOH by oxidation in air and the spinel $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders were synthesized at 480 $^{\circ}C$ for 12 h in air by a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and lithium hydroxide as starting materials. The synthesized $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders were mixed at portion of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% of $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders using a ball-mill. The mixed catalysts were dried at room temperature for 24 hrs. The mixed catalysts were reduced by hydrogen gas at 350 $^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The carbon dioxide decomposition rates of the mixed catalysts were 90% in all the mixed catalysts but the decomposition rate of carbon dioxide was increased with adding $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders to $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders.

In this study, we investigated carbonation-regeneration and agglomeration characteristics of dry sorbents. Experiment has been proceeded in the batch-type reactor, which is made of quartz: 0.05 m of I.D and 0.8 m in height. The sorbents that is collected at the cyclone of the carbonation reactor of continuous process were used in this study. The reactivity was studied at the various concentrations of water vapor, $N_2$ and $CO_2$ in the fluidizing gas at regeneration reaction. As a result, the reactivity increased as the regeneration temperature increased, the reactivity decreased as the concentration of water vapor increased. The absorption capacity showed the highest value in case of using $N_2$ 100% as regeneration gas. And decreased in order of $H_2O+N_2$, $CO_2$ 100% and $H_2O+CO_2$. The agglomeration characteristics were investigated according to the particle sizes and concentrations of water vapor at carbonation reaction. As a result, the particle with smaller size and higher concentration of water vapor showed the higher agglomeration characteristic.

Periodontal inflammation, a major kind of periodontal diseases, is characterized to bleed, pain, and teeth loss, and it is resulted from oxidative stress. Membrane-free stem cell extract could avoid the immunogencity rejection by removal of cell membrane. In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of membrane-free stem cell extract from oxidative stress-induced periodontal inflammation in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF). In the cell viability measurement, membrane-free stem cell extract showed significant increase of cell viability, compared with the $H_2O_2$-treated control group. To further investigation of molecular mechanisms, we measured inflammation and apoptosis related protein expressions. Membrane-free stem cell extract attenuated inflammation-related protein expressions such as nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and interleukin-6. In addition, the treatment of membrane-free stem cell extract decreased apoptotic protein expressions such as cleaved caspase-9, -3, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein/Bcl-2 ratio in the $H_2O_2$-treated HPLF cells. In conclusion, membrane-free stem cell extract exhibited anti-oxidative stress effects by regulation of inflammation and apoptosis in HPLF, suggesting that it could be used as the treatment agents for periodontal inflammatory disease.

The effects of active sites and valence states were investigated over $Pd/TiO_2$ catalyst on simultaneous oxidation of $CH_4$ and CO. The Pd species (PdO) crystallite size increased with increasing Pd loadings, which results in enhancement of the activity of $CH_4$ oxidation. Different results from the activity of $CH_4$ and CO oxidation were shown to be dependent on the Pd valence state on the surface of the catalyst prepared through a thermal treatment. XRD and $H_2-TPR$ analysis confirmed that $Pd^{2+}$species was predominated in the calcination catalyst, while $Pd^0$species was predominated in the reduction catalyst. Additionally, it could be found that the valence state of Pd was a more important factor on the catalytic activity than that of factors as the surface area and pore volume. The reaction mechanism of $CH_4$ and CO followed by the valence state of Pd could be identified using FT-IR analysis.

The effects of $SnO_2$ crystallite size on the powder characteristics, the resistance in air and the sensitivity to 0.5 vol % $H_2$, CO-air mixture were observed. The size of SnO, powder was controlled by calcining temperature variation ($500^{\circ}C$ ~$1100^{\circ}C$) of $\alpha$-stannic acid fabricated from $SnCl_4 \cdot xH_2O$. Its crystallite size. evaluated from TEM image, was in the range of 8-54nm. With the reduction of crystallite size, the adsoption peak of $H_2O$ on FTIR curve became more clear while the lattice parameters were invariable. As the crystallite size decreased, with elements of thick film, the temperatures showing a minimum resistance in air and a maximum sensitivity to H, gas reduced. The temperature variations were assigned to the changes of activation energy of the active adsorbates, and it was suggested that the decrease of activation energy can be one of the reasons for the' sensitivity increase with the' fine powder.

A tubular packed bed reactor for the steam-$CO_2$ combined reforming of natural gas to produce the synthesis gas of a target $H_2/CO$ ratio 2.0 was simulated. The effects of the reactor dimension, the feed gas composition, and the gas feeding temperature upon the possibility of coke formation across the catalyst bed were investigated. For this purpose, 2-dimensional heterogeneous reactor model was used to determine the local gas concentrations and temperatures over the catalyst bed. The thermodynamic potential distribution of coke formation was determined by comparing the extent of reaction with the equilibrium constant given by the reaction, $CH_4+2CO{\Leftrightarrow}3C+2H_2O$. The simulation showed that catalysts packed in the central region nearer the entrance of the reactor were more prone to coking because of the regional characteristics of lower temperature, lower concentration of $H_2O$, and higher concentration of CO. With the higher feeding temperature, the feed gas composition of the increased $H_2O$ and correspondingly decreased $CO_2$, or the decrease in the reactor diameter, the volume fraction of the catalyst bed subsequent to coking could be diminished. Throughout the simulation, reactor dimension and reaction condition for coking-free operation were suggested.

The anodic alumina is synthesized using 0.3M oxalic acid and the barrier layers of the anodic alumina are removed using the 20wt% $H_2SO_4$ solution. The structure of the anodic alumina is analyzed by XRD and SEM. It is observed by SEM that the size of anodic alumina pore is about 60nm. And the uniformity of the anodic alumina surface under the 20wt% $H_2SO_4$ solution is poorer than the unifomity of the the normal anodic alumina surface. The anodic alumina and the carbon are used cathode and anode in$Cd(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, $Co(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $PbSO_4$ solutions. In this study, the constant D.C. electrical current is flowed in each solution for 24hours. It is found that the voltages so far as 4.6, 3.4 and 5.1V at $Cd(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, $Co(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $PbSO_4$ solutions increase with increasing the flowing current time and after the voltage does not change which values are 4.2, 2.7 and 2.4V, respectively. The amount of metal ions in solutions decrease with increasing the flowing current time until the flowing current time is 18hours and the metals are formed at the surface of anodic alumina. After the metal ions are removed using the anodic alumina, and $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ ions are removed again using flow cell with retriculate vitreous carbon(RVC) working electrode. The concentration of $Cd^{2+}$, and $Co^{2+}$ions decrease until the flowing time of the solutions is 20minutes and the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ ion decreases until that time is 30minutes. In this case, the removal effects of $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ ions are 34.78, 28.79 and 86.38%, respectively. And it is possible that both $Cd^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ions are adsorbed in pore of RVC at the same time and the removal effects of $Cd^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ions are 32.30 and 31.37%.
