Electron injection from excited rose bengal into the conduction band of a thin film of $SnO_2$ semiconductor in acetonitrile was investigated in an electrochemical cell, ITO/$SnO_2$/rose bengal, NaI or $I_2$, $NaClO_4$/Pt. It was observed that NaI enhanced the supersensitized photocurrent, followed by the slow reduction, whereas $I_2$ yielded a fast decaying photocurrent. Spectroscopic analyses of the dye solution containing NaI revealed that electron is transferred to the $SnO_2$ electrode from the reduced rose bengal and iodide is responsible for the reduction of the dye in triplet state. However $I_2$ appears to possess neither the reducing ability of the oxidized dye nor the retardation of the dehalogenation of RB.

The effect of ${\alpha}_1$-adrenoceptor(${\alpha}_1$-AR) stimulation on intracellular pH($pH_i$), $Na^+$ activity($a_{Na}{^i}$) and contractility were investigated in isolated papillary muscles of euthyroid or hyperthyroid guinea pig with conventional microelectrode, $Na^+$ or $H^+$-selective microelectrodes, and tension transducer. Stimulation of the ${\alpha}_1$-AR by phenylephrine produced a decrease in $a_{Na}{^i}$ in euthyroid preparations. This decrease in $a_{Na}{^i}$ was abolished in presence of PKC activator, phorbol dibutyrate, and increased contrary to decrease. Phenylephrine also increased $a_{Na}{^i}$ in hyperthyroid ones. However, phenylrephtine produced an increase in $pH_i$ in both euthyroid and hyperthyroid ones. These changes were blocked by prazosin, an antagonist of ${\alpha}_1$-AR. These findings suggest that the changes in $a_{Na}{^i}$ and $pH_i$ are mediated by a stimulation of $Na^+-H^+$ exchange via ${\alpha}_1$-AR stimulation. This study focused on the increase in $a_{Na}{^i}$, $pH_i$ and contractility. The increase in $pH_i$ was blocked by amiloride or EIPA, $Na^+-H^+$ exchange inhibitors. Therefore, the increase in $a_{Na}{^i}$ and $pH_i$ mediated by ${\alpha}_1$-AR appeared to be due to an influx of $Na^+$ and a reduction of $H^+$ through $Na^+-H^+$ exchange. This study also revealed that the increase in $pH_i$ and $a_{Na}{^i}$ might be related to the sustained positive inotropic response. The $a_{Na}{^i}$ increase may contribute to the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ through the $Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange, and the $pH_i$ increase could cause an increase in the $Ca^{2+}$ sensitivity of myofilaments and may augment the ${\alpha}_1$-AR-mediated positive inotropic response.

Consider the heteroscedastic regression model $Y_i=g(x_i)+{\sigma}_i\;{\epsilon}_i=(1{\leq}i{\leq}n)$, where ${\sigma}^2_i=f(u_i)$, the design points $(x_i,\;u_i)$ are known and nonrandom, and g and f are unknown functions defined on closed interval [0, 1]. Under the random errors $\epsilon_i$ form a sequence of NA random variables, we study the asymptotic normality of wavelet estimators of g when f is a known or unknown function.

Two crystal structures of iodine sorption complexes of dehydrated partially Co(Ⅱ )-exchanged zeolite A, $Co_{3.5}Na_5-A{\cdot}xI_2$, x = 2.5 and 5.0, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Both structures were solved and refined in cubic space group, Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C$. The structures of $Co_{3.5}Na_5-A{\cdot}2.5I_2$(a = 12.173(1) ${\AA}$) and $Co_{3.5}Na_5-A{\cdot}5.0I_2$(a = 12.130(1) ${\AA}$) were refined to the final error indices, $R_1$ = 0.081 and $R_2$ = 0.077 with 261 reflections and $R_1$ = 0.103 and $R_2$ = 0.112 with 225 reflections, respectively, for which I>3${\sigma}$(I). In both structures, 3.5 $Co^{2+}$ ions and 4.5 $Na^+$ ions per unit cell lie at two crystallographically different 6-ring positions. 0.5 $Na^+$ ion lines in an 8-oxygen ring plane. Dehydrated $Co_{3.5}Na_5$-A sorbs 2.5 iodine molecules per unit cell at $70^{\circ}C$ (vapor pressure of $I_2$ is ca. 8.3 torr) within 30 minutes and 5 iodine molecules per unit cell at $80^{\circ}C$ (vapor pressure of $I_2$ is ca. 14.3 torr) within 24 hours. Each iodine molecule makes a close approach, along its axis to framework oxygen atom with I-I-O = $175^{\circ}$.

Complexation of ortho-xylyl-17-crown-5 (X17C5) with alkali metal ions in acetonitrile was studied by 7Li and 23Na NMR spectroscopy. The complex formation constants of X17C5 with LiI, LiSCN, NaI, and NaSCN were determined by investigating the changes in the chemical shifts as a function of the concentration ratio of X17C5 to metal ion. It was found that X17C5 forms 1:1 complex with Li+ and Na+ ions and the log Kf's for the complexation with LiI, LiSCN, NaI, and NaSCN were determined to be 2.88, 2.43, 2.53, and 2.30, respectively. In particular, the kinetics of complexation of X17C5 with Na+ was investigated by the method of 23Na NMR lineshape analysis. Activation energies were determined from Arrhenius plot of the resultant rate constant data to be 25.4 kJ/mol for NaI and 15.1 kJ/mol for NaSCN. Other kinetic parameters were also calculated by employing the Eyring equation. The decomplexation rates measured were 1.82 × 104 M-1s-1 for NaI and 1.50 × 104 M-1s-1 for NaSCN. It is concluded that the decomplexation mechanism is predominantly a bimolecular cation exchange for both cases.

In iodine-131 labelling of iodocompounds such as tetrachloro-P-tetraiodo R-fluorescein, sodium orthoiodohippurate and a non-iodocompound, human serum albumin (HSA), the labelling rates and yields are accurately compared with each other. The reaction systems conducted for each compounds were different conditions: sodium iodide-$^{131}$ I containing reducing agent, sodium iodide-$^{131}$ I free from reducing agent, and sodium iodide-$^{131}$ I free from reducing agent but containing considerable amount of iodide-$^{131}$ I etc. The labelling yields were generally poor; 10% in the case of using sodium iodide-$^{131}$ I containing redoing agent, and 50~60% in the case of using sodium iodide-$^{131}$ I free from reducing agent but containing considerable amount of iodide-$^{131}$ I. However, fair yields were obtained in the case of using sodium iodide-$^{131}$ I free from reducing agent and mostly in the form of iodide-$^{131}$ I. The reaction entities involved in these reactions are also briefly discussed.

The formation conditions of Na-cellulose II with three fold helix were investigated by an x-ray diffraction method. Na-cellulose II was formed through Na-cellulose I. It seems that the concentration of sodium hydroxide in Na-cellulose II is higher than both those of Na-cellulose I and Na-cellulose III. Na-cellulose II was formed well by different rinsing and drying methods even though the sample treatment was carried out in very short periods of time. Metal-complexed Na-cellulose swollen in the mixture of $Cu(OH)_2$ and sodium hydroxide is stable in wet state, and changed to a different polymorph by drying.

The leaching of Na-fluor-tetrasilicic mica $NaMg_{2.5}(Si_4O_{10})F_2$ (Na-TSM) in the deionized water was investigated by measuring the pH released Na and Mg contents in the suspension. According to the results it was found that $Na^+$ ions of interlayer in the Na-TSM were easily replaced by $H^+$ ions from the deionized water because $Na^+$ ions of I were repidly diffused to form a large hydrated electric double layer in the suspension.

In this study, from a new x-ray detector that combines a columnar CsI:Na scintillation layer with a photosensitive mercuric iodide layer was investigated. In this structure, X-rays are converted into visible light on a thick CsI:Na layer, which is then converted to electric charges in a thin $HgI_2$ bottom layer. The thin coplanar mercuric iodide films as a photosensitive converter requiring only a few tens of volts of bias, associated with a thick columnar coating of phosphor layer, were simulated and designed. The results of this research suggest that the new coplanar x-ray detector with a hybrid-type structure can resolve the following problems: high voltage from the a-Se, and low conversion efficiency from the indirect conversion method. The results of this research suggest that the new CsI:Na/$HgI_2$ x-ray detector with a double-layer type structure can resolve the following problems: high voltage from the direct conversion method, and low conversion efficiency from the indirect conversion method.

he scintillation detector having $BaF^2$ crystal with 3.6cm dia${\times}$2.0 cm thick was provided. The energy and timing characteristics were measured and compared with NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors, which widely used in unclear medicine. In order to measure the energy spectrum, the radioactive sources used were $^{22}Na,\;^{54}Mn,\;^{57}Co,\;^{137}Cs$ and the source to detector distance was 7cm. For the timing characteristic, NaI(Tl)(1" ${\times}$ 1")-$BaF^2$ and NaI(Tl)(3" ${\times}$ 3")-$BaF^2$ timing coincidence systems were prepared and the used source was $^{22}Na$ emitting 511keV annihilation photons. For the 511keV gamma-ray emitted from $^{22}Na$, It was revealed that the timing response of the $BaF^2$ detector was faster than NaI(Tl)(1" ${\times}$ 1") and NaI(Tl)(3" ${\times}$ 3") detector used in this experimental investigation. The energy characteristics of the $BaF^2$ detector had a good values for about 500keV energy range.
