The effects of the moments of the interarrival time and service time on the system performance measures such as blocking probability, mean and standard deviation of the number of customers in service facility and orbit are numerically investigated. The results reveal the performance measures are more sensitive with respect to the interarrival time than the service time. Approximation for $GI/G/c$ retrial queues using $PH/PH/c$ retrial queue is presented.

We consider the MAP/PH/c/K queue in which blocked customers retry to get service and servers may take vacations. The time interval between retrials and vacation times are of phase type (PH) distributions. Using the method of mean drift, a sufficient condition of ergodicity is provided. A condition for the system to be unstable is also given by the stochastic comparison method.

Oligomerization of phenylacetylene is catalyzed by $Rh(ClO_4)(CO)(PPh_3)_2$ (Rh-1), $[Rh(CO)(PPh_3)_3]ClO_4$ (Rh-2), $[Rh(COD)L_2]ClO_4 (L_2=(PPh_3)_2$, Rh-3; $(PPh_3)(PhCN)$, Rh-4; $(PhCN)_2$, Rh-5), $[Rh(C_3H_5)(Cl)(CO)(SbPh_3)_2]ClO_4$ (Rh-6), $[Ir(COD)L_2]ClO_4 (L_2=(PPh_3)_2$, $Ir-1; (PPh_3)(PhCN)$, $Ir-2; (PhCN)_2$, Ir-3; (AsPh_3)(PhCN)$, $Ir-4; Ph_2PCH_2CH_2PPh_2$, Ir-5; COD, Ir-6 and 2,2'-dipyridyl, Ir-7), $Ir(ClO_4)(CO)(PPh_3)_2$, $Ir-8, [Ir(PhCN)(CO)(PPh_3)_2]ClO_4$, Ir-9 to produce dimerization products, 1,3-diphenylbut-1-yn-3-ene, 1, (E)-1,4-diphenylbut-1-yn-3-ene, 2 and (Z)-1,4-diphenylbut-1-yn-3-ene, 3, and cyclotrimerization products, 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene, 4 and 1,2,4-triphenylbenzene, 5. Product distribution of the oligomers varies depending on various factors such as the nature of catalysts, reaction temperature, counter anions and excess ligand present in the reaction mixtures. Increasing reaction temperature in general increases the yield of the cyclotrimerization products. Exclusive production of dimer 1 and trimer 4 can be obtained with Ir-1 at 0 $^{\circ}$C and with Ir-2 in the presence of excess PhCN (or $CH_3CN$) at 50 $^{\circ}$C, respectively. Dimer 2 (up to 81%) and trimer 5 (up to 98%) are selectively produced with Rh-1 at 50 and 100 $^{\circ}$C respectively. Production of 3 is selectively increased up to 85% by using $PF_6$- salt of $[Ir(COD)(PPh_3)_2]$+ at 25 $^{\circ}$C. Addition of $CH_3I$ to Rh-1 produces $CH_3PPh_3^+I-$ and increases the rate of oligomerization(disappearance of phenylacetylene). Among the metal compounds investigated in this study, Ir-1 catalyzes most rapidly the oligomerization where the catalytically active species seems to contain lr(PPh3)2 moiety. The stoichiometric reaction of phenylacetylene wth Ir-9 at 25 $^{\circ}$C quantitatively produces hydridophenyl-ethynyl iridium(III) complex, $[lr(H)(C{\equiv}CPh)(PhCN)(CO)(PPh_3)_2]ClO_4$ (Ir-11), which seems to be an intermediate for the oligomerization.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Pyrrosiae Herba herbal-acupuncture(PH-HA) at $KI_{10}$(Umgok) on nephritis induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in rats. Methods : Rats were assigned to four groups: normal, LPS, saline and PH-HA. Rats in the saline and PH-HA groups were treated with saline injection and PH-HA respectively at $KI_{10}$, three times over the period of one week. All animals, except those in the normal group, were injected intra-peritoneally with LPS to induce nephritis. WBC, in blood, tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-${\alpha}$), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1(CINC-1), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatinine in serum, urinal volume, total protein creatinine in urine, and renal myeloperoxidase (MPO) were analyzed. Results : 1. PH-HA group showed significantly reduced levels of serum BUN, serum creatinine, TNF-${\alpha}$, and CINC-1 compared to the LPS group. Furthermore, a significant increase in urine output and more significant decreases in total protein in urine and MPO in renal tissue were observed in the PH-HA group when compared to the LPS group. 2. The PH-HA group showed significantly reduced levels of serum creatinine and renal MPO, and a more significant increase in urine output compared to the saline group. Conclusions : According to these results, it is postulated that PH-HA at $KI_{10}$ has anti-inflammatory and renal-protective effects on LPS-induced nephritis in rats, and both acupoint $KI_{10}$ and the herb Pyrrosiae Herba made contributions to these effects. Further studies on the interaction between acupoint $KI_{10}$ and the herb Pyrrosiae Herba may be needed.

The silyltriflates$(Ph_{3-n}SiH(OTf)_n)$have been produced by the reaction of triphenylsilane and triflic acid$(CF_3SO_3H)$at low temperature. These highly reactive compounds are a valuable reagent for the synthesis of numerous new functional substituted silane derivatives. The reaction of silyltriflates with alkenyl- and alkynylmagnesium bromide as well as organolithium compounds gave new silanes$Ph_2SiHR(R=\;C(CPh,\;CH=CH_2,\;CH_2CH=CH_2,\; (CH_2)_2CH=CH_2,\;(CH_2)_3CH=CH_2)$in high yields. The hydrosilation of prepared alkenyl- and alkynylsilanesPh_2SiHR$in the presence of a platinum catalyst(Pt/C) at high temperature$(200{\circ}C)$gave carbosilane polymers$((Ph_2SiCH=CPh)_n$and$(Ph_2Si(CH_2)m)n;\;m=2∼4, n{\ge}10)$along with five- and six-membered silaalkane ring compounds derived from intramolecular hydrosilation reactions. All of the prepared compounds are confirmed by NMR, UV, IR and mass spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis.

Free fatty acid (FFA) intake regulates blood pressure and vascular reactivity but its direct effect on contractility of systemic arteries is not well understood. We investigated the effects of saturated fatty acid (SFA, palmitic acid), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA, linoleic acid), and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA, oleic acid) on the contractility of isolated mesenteric (MA) and deep femoral arteries (DFA) of Sprague-Dawley rats. Isolated MA and DFA were mounted on a dual wire myograph and phenylephrine (PhE, $1-10{\mu}M$) concentration-dependent contraction was obtained with or without FFAs. Incubation with $100{\mu}M$ of palmitic acid significantly increased PhE-induced contraction in both arteries. In MA, treatment with $100{\mu}M$ of linoleic acid decreased $1{\mu}M$ PhE-induced contraction while increasing the response to higher PhE concentrations. In DFA, linoleic acid slightly decreased PhE-induced contraction while $200{\mu}M$ oleic acid significantly decreased it. In MA, oleic acid reduced contraction at low PhE concentration (1 and $2{\mu}M$) while increasing it at $10{\mu}M$ PhE. Perplexingly, depolarization by 40 mM KCl-induced contraction of MA was commonly enhanced by the three fatty acids. The 40 mM KCl-contraction of DFA was also augmented by linoleic and oleic acids while not affected by palmitic acid. SFA persistently increased alpha-adrenergic contraction of systemic arteries whereas PUFA and MUFA attenuated PhE-induced contraction of skeletal arteries. PUFA and MUFA concentration-dependent dual effects on MA suggest differential mechanisms depending on the types of arteries. Further studies are needed to elucidate underlying mechanisms of the various effects of FFA on systemic arteries.

Pseudomonas sp. PhCN strain, which has the potential to utilize phenol and cyanide as a sole carbon and nitrogen source, was isolated. A comparison of the effect of cyanide on phenol degradation and vice versa by strain PhCN showed that the degradation time was significantly delayed by an increase in either phenol or cyanide concentration, and the greatest activities were obtained in basal medium containing a low concentration of cyanide and phenol. This strain contained two plasmids of approximately 120 kb (pPhCN-1) and 110 kb (pPhCN-2). Plasmid curing experiments produced a plasmid-free strain as well as strains containing either the 120- or the 110 kb plasmid. The strains were tested for their ability to utilize phenol and KCN. The results demonstrated that the ability to utilize phenol was encoded by the 120 kb plasmid, whereas the ability to utilize cyanide appeared to be encoded by the chromosome.

A martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel, 17-4PH has been widely used in the aircraft, chemical and nuclear industries for long time, owing to the excellent mechanical properties with corrosion resistance that can be achieved by simple heat treatment. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the 17-4PH stainless steel cast parts for aircraft, such as impeller, are largely affected by heat treatment condition. But the database of heat treatment has not been clearly established in the domestic investment casting industries because the domestic aerospace, industry lags behind the advanced countries. In this study, the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of cast 17-4PH stainless steel depending on the heat treatment conditions and aging at $400^{\circ}C$ were investigated.
