The objective of the present study was to evaluate catalytic performance of a commercial catalyst (Co/$ZrO_2-Al_2O_3$) for the decomposition of perfluorinated chemicals in a pilot scale reactor containing 30 L of catalysts. At a reaction condition of GHSV $1,800h^{-1}$, $T_{95}$ of $SF_6$ was increased from 580 to $610^{\circ}C$ with increasing of $SF_6$ concentration from 1,000 to 10,000 ppm. $T_{95}$ of $SF_6$ in catalytic decomposition was much smaller than that of thermal decomposition ($1,600^{\circ}C$). The 99% conversion of $SF_6$ was maintained for 72 hours a reaction temperature of $650^{\circ}C$. In order to maintain the $SF_6$ conversion more than 99%, it is necessary to operate at a reaction condition of GHSV less than $2,000h^{-1}$. An operating temperature of $710^{\circ}C$ was required to achieve >95% destruction of the $CF_4$, which was much higher than that of catalytic decomposition of $SF_6$.

F doped ZnO (FZO)박막은 rf magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 ZnO 박막에 F의 도핑량 변화에 따른 효과와 전기적, 광학적 및 열적 특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 열처리 전의 박막에서는 $CF_4$ gas가 0.1%일 때 가장 좋은 전기적 특성을 보였고, 이는 대부분의 F이 O와 치환을 하여 전기적 특성이 우수해지는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 일반적으로 열처리 전 FZO 박막은 낮은 전기적 특성을 가지며, 열처리 후에는 전기적 특성이 많이 향상되었고, 특히 홀 이동도가 $42.6cm^2/Vs$의 높은 값을 가졌다. 또한 F 함량이 증가할수록 광학적 특성은 좋아졌지만, 구조적 특성은 열처리 전 후를 비교할 때 큰 변화가 없었다. 이 연구를 통해서 $40cm^2/Vs$이상의 높은 홀 이동도를 가지고, 열적으로 안정한 ZnO계 박막의 제조가 가능하였다.

Purpose: Parotid gland can be considered as a risk organ in whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the parotid gland sparing effect of computed tomography (CT)-based WBRT compared to 2-dimensional plan with conventional field margin. Materials and Methods: From January 2008 to April 2011, 53 patients underwent WBRT using CT-based simulation. Bilateral two-field arrangement was used and the prescribed dose was 30 Gy in 10 fractions. We compared the parotid dose between 2 radiotherapy plans using different lower field margins: conventional field to the lower level of the atlas (CF) and modified field fitted to the brain tissue (MF). Results: Averages of mean parotid dose of the 2 protocols with CF and MF were 17.4 Gy and 8.7 Gy, respectively (p < 0.001). Mean parotid dose of both glands ${\geq}20$ Gy were observed in 15 (28.3%) for CF and in 0 (0.0%) for MF. The whole brain percentage volumes receiving >98% of prescribed dose were 99.7% for CF and 99.5% for MF. Conclusion: Compared to WBRT with CF, CT-based lower field margin modification is a simple and effective technique for sparing the parotid gland, while providing similar dose coverage of the whole brain.

para-Substituted phenoxide derivatives of Pd(II) having an NCN pincer, Pd(NCN)($OC_6H_4$-p-X) (NCN = 2,6-$(CH_2NMe_2)_2C_6H_3$; X = $NO_2$ (1), Me (2)) were prepared by the reaction of Pd(NCN)($OSO_2CF_3$) with equi-molar amount of $NaOC_6H_4$-p-X. Treatment of Pd(NCN)($OSO_2CF_3$) with an excess amount of $NaOC_6H_4$-p-Me affords the hydrogen-bonding adduct complex 3 ($2{\cdot}HOC_6H_4$-p-Me). Complex 3 can also be obtained from benzene solution of 2 in the presence of free $HOC_6H_4$-p-Me. Complex 1 does not undergo adduct formation with $HOC_6H_4-p-NO_2$ neither from metathesis reaction of Pd(NCN)($OSO_2CF_3$) with an excess amount of $NaOC_6H_4-p-NO_2$ nor from treatment of 1 with free $HOC_6H_4-p-NO_2$. Complex 3 undergoes fast exchange of the coordinated p-cresolate with the hydrogen-bonding p-cresol. Complex 2 undergoes ${\sigma}$-ligand exchange reaction with $HOC_6H_4-p-NO_2$ to give 1. The exchange reaction, however, is irreversible as readily anticipated from their respective $pK_a$ values of the phenol derivatives. Reaction of 2 with diphenyliodium chloride quantitatively produced Pd(NCN)Cl and PhI along with liberation of O-phenylated product $PhOC_6H_4$-p-Me which was identified by GC/MS spectroscopy.

Reactions between potassium fluoride with organic halogen-containing carboxylic acids in dimethyl formamide solvent gave a decarboxylation reaction for the case of fluoro carboxylic acids of the type of $CF_3\;COOH,\;C_3F_7COOH,\;and\;C_2F_5COOH,$ whereas an additional partial fluorination together with dimerization reaction occurred for the chlorine containing acids of the type of $CH_2ClCOOH,\;CH_3CHClCOOH, \;CHCl_2COOH\;and\;o-Cl-C_6H_4-COOH.$ The phenyl halides showed no reactivity, but the halides with two electron attracting substituents on the benzene ring gave mainly dimerization reaction. The esters and alcohols gave an usual fluorination reaction. The same reactions in absence of the solvent at the elevated temperature increase the yield of the dimerized product and gave the cyclized product, fluorenone, in case of ο-chlorobenzoic acid. It was found that the fluorination usually precede the decarboxylation reaction by checking the stiochemical sequence of reaction. Catalytic influence of potassium fluoride were discussed and the mechanism of the reaction was considered.

This pot experiment was conducted to find out the forage productivity and quality in a grass/clover sward as affected by the application of three different fertilizers; double superphosphate(DS), fused Mg-phosphate(FP), and complex fertilizer(CF), on newly reclaimed hilly soil. This 1st part was concerned with the forage yields, yield components and botanical composition. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The significant differences in the yields(relative yields, %) of whole forages and legume were laid in the following increasing order; CF(relative yield: 150.4% in whole forages and 169.7% in ladino clover) > FP(125.4% in whole forages and 121.7% in ladino clover) > DS(100.0%). The yield of orchardgrass was significantly reduced in the DS plot, compared with the yields in the FP and CF plots, whereas these showed no significant differences between the FP and CF plots. 2. In the botanicl composition, it showed that the rates of grass : legume were 48:52% in the DS and FP, and 40:60% in the CF. It was recognized that the application of complex fertilizer contributed to the increasing of the yields of whole forages, and especially legume yield and rate in the mixed sward.

The decomposition reaction mechanism of $CH_3CF_2O$ radical formed from hydroflurocarbon, $CH_3CHF_2$ (HFC-152a) in the atmosphere has been investigated using ab-initio quantum mechanical methods. The geometries of the reactant, products and transition states involved in the decomposition pathways have been optimized and characterized at DFT-B3LYP and MP2 levels of theories using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Calculations have been carried out to observe the effect of basis sets on the optimized geometries of species involved. Single point energy calculations have been performed at QCISD(T) and CCSD(T) level of theories. Out of the two prominent decomposition channels considered viz., C-C bond scission and F-elimination, C-C bond scission is found to be the dominant path involving a barrier height of 12.3 kcal/mol whereas the F-elimination path involves that of a 28.0 kcal/mol. Using transition-state theory, rate constant for the most dominant decomposition pathway viz., C-C bond scission is calculated at 298 K and found to be 1.3 ${\times}$ 10$^4s{-1}$. Transition states are searched on the potential energy surfaces involving both decomposition channels and each of the transition states are characterized. The existence of transition states on the corresponding potential energy surface are ascertained by performing Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) calculation.

The complexes M(CO)4-1,2-(PPh2)2-1,2-C2B10H10 (M=Cr 2a, Mo 2b, W 2c) have been prepared in good yields from readily available bis-diphenylphosphino-o-carboranyl ligand, closo-1,2-(PPh2)2-1,2-C2B10H10 (1), by direct reaction with Group Ⅵ metal carbonyls. The infrared spectra of the complexes indicate that there is an octahedral disposition of chelate bis-diphenylphosphino-o-carboranyl ligand around the metal atom. The crystal structure of 2a was determined by X-ray diffraction. Complex 2a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with cell parameters a = 12.2360(7), b = 17.156(1), c = 16.2040(6) Å, V = 3354.1(3) Å3, and Z =4. Of the reflections measured a total of 2514 unique reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2) was used during subsequent structure refinement. Refinement converged to R1 = 0.066 and R2 = 0.071. Structural studies showed that the chromium atom had a slightly distorted pseudo-octahedral configuration about the metal center with two phosphine groups of o-carborane occupying the equatorial plane cis-orientation to each other. These metal carbonyl complexes are rapidly converted to the corresponding metal carbene complexes, [(CO)3M=C(OCH3)(CH3)]-1,2-(PPh2)2-1,2-C2B10H10 (M= Cr 3a, Mo 3b, W 3c), via alkylation with methyllithium followed by O-methylation with CF3SO3CH3.

Purpose Recently, with the spread of SPECT/CT, various image correction methods can be applied quickly and accurately, which enabled us to expect quantitative accuracy as well as image quality improvement. Among them, the Collimator Detector Response(CDR) recovery is a correction method aiming at resolution recovery by compensating the blurring effect generated from the distance between the detector and the object. The purpose of this study is to find out quantitative change depending on the change in detection distance in SPECT/CT images with CDR recovery applied. Materials and Methods In order to find out the error of acquisition count depending on the change of detection distance, we set the detection distance according to the obit type as X, Y axis radius 30cm for circular, X, Y axis radius 21cm, 10cm for non-circular and non-circular auto(=auto body contouring, ABC_spacing limit 1cm) and applied reconstruction methods by dividing them into Astonish(3D-OSEM with CDR recovery) and OSEM(w/o CDR recovery) to find out the difference in activity recovery depending on the use of CDR recovery. At this time, attenuation correction, scatter correction, and decay correction were applied to all images. For the quantitative evaluation, calibration scan(cylindrical phantom, $^{99m}TcO_4$ 123.3 MBq, water 9293 ml) was obtained for the purpose of calculating the calibration factor(CF). For the phantom scan, a 50 cc syringe was filled with 31 ml of water and a phantom image was obtained by setting $^{99m}TcO_4$ 123.3 MBq. We set the VOI(volume of interest) in the entire volume of the syringe in the phantom image to measure total counts for each condition and obtained the error of the measured value against true value set by setting CF to check the quantitative accuracy according to the correction. Results The calculated CF was 154.28 (Bq/ml/cps/ml) and the measured values against true values in each conditional image were analyzed to be circular 87.5%, non-circular 90.1%, ABC 91.3% and circular 93.6%, non-circular 93.6%, ABC 93.9% in OSEM and Astonish, respectively. The closer the detection distance, the higher the accuracy of OSEM, and Astonish showed almost similar values regardless of distance. The error was the largest in the OSEM circular(-13.5%) and the smallest in the Astonish ABC(-6.1%). Conclusion SPECT/CT images showed that when the distance compensation is made through the application of CDR recovery, the detection distance shows almost the same quantitative accuracy as the proximity detection even under the distant condition, and accurate correction is possible without being affected by the change in detection distance.
