Carbon spheres (CS) were fabricated using glucose as a precursor in the hydrothermal method. Hollow TiO₂ (H-TiO₂) spheres with 200 nm, 500 nm, and 1,200 nm were synthesized by CS/TiO₂ core-shell particles via a sol-gel and calcination method. H-TiO₂ spheres with nano and micron sizes were characterized using FE-SEM, HR-TEM, and X-ray diffraction. The CIE color coordinate, solar reflectance, and heat shield temperatures of H-TiO₂/polyacrylate (PA) composite film were investigated using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer and homemade heat insulation temperature measuring device. H-TiO₂/PA composites exhibit excellent thermal insulation since the hollow structure filled with dry air has low thermal conductivity and near infrared light reflecting performance. The thermal insulation increased with increasing the hollow sphere (HS) size on H-TiO₂/PA composites. The PA composite film mixed with H-TiO₂ filled with 1200 nm HS reduced the heat shield temperature by 26 ℃ compared to that of the transparent glass counterpart.

We studied the electrochromic properties of hydrated amorphous ruthenium oxide ($RuO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$) thin films using in-situ Raman spectroscopy during electrochemical charging/discharging cycles. We have found that the principal effect of hydrogen insertion into $RuO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$ is reduction of $Ru^{4+}\;to\;Ru^{3+}$, and not formation of new bonds involving hydrogen. We compared the changes in the Raman spectrum of a gasochromic $Pd/RuO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$ film as it is exposed to hydrogen gas with that of electrochemical hydrogen insertion. We tested the changes in the optical transmission of the $Pd/RuO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$ film when exposed to hydrogen gas.

We performed simultaneous observations of SiO v=1, 2, $^{29}SiO$ v=0, J=1-0 and $H_2O$ $6_{16}-5_{23}$ maser lines toward 252 OH/IR stars using the Korean VLBI Network 21m telescopes. The observations were carried out from 2011 November to 2012 July for studying SiO and $H_2O$ maser properties associated with the evolutionary stages of OH/IR stars. Both $H_2O$ and SiO masers were detected from 49 sources, one-side maser of SiO and $H_2O$ was detected from 109 and 11 sources, respectively. Mutual relations between SiO and $H_2O$ maser properties are investigated based on statistical analyses. We also investigate these maser properties in the IRAS two-color diagram related with stellar evolutionary sequence.

This study examined the treatment characteristics of hard-to-degrade pollutants such as TCE which are found in organic solvent and cleaning wastewater by nZVI that have excellent oxidation and reduction characteristics. In addition, this study tried to find out the degradation characteristics of TCE by Fenton-like process, in which $H_2O_2$ is dosed additionally. In this study, different ratios of nZVI and $H_2O_2$, such as 1.0 mM : 0.5 mM, 1.0 mM : 1.0 mM, and 1.0 mM : 2.0 mM were used. When 1.0 mM of nZVI was dosed with 1.0 mM of $H_2O_2$, the removal efficiency of TOC was the highest and the first order rate constant was also the highest. When 1mM of nZVI was dosed with 0.5 mM of $H_2O_2$, the first order rate constant and removal efficiency were the lowest. The size of first order rate constant and removal efficiency was in the order of nZVI 1.0 mM : $H_2O_2$ 1.0 mM > nZVI 1.0 mM : $H_2O_2$ 2.0 mM > nZVI 1.0 mM : $H_2O_2$ 0.5 mM > $H_2O_2$ 1.0 mM > nZVI 1.0 mM. It is estimated that when 1.0 mM of nZVI is dosed with 1.0 mM of $H_2O_2$, $Fe^{2+}$ ion generated by nZVI and $H_2O_2$ react in the stoichiometric molar ratio of 1:1, thus the first order rate constant and removal efficiency are the highest. And when 1.0 mM of nZVI is dosed with 2.0 mM of $H_2O_2$, excessive $H_2O_2$ work as a scavenger of OH radicals and excessive $H_2O_2$ reduce $Fe^{3+}$ into $Fe^{2+}$. As for the removal efficiency of TOC in TCE by simultaneous dose and sequential dose of nZVI and $H_2O_2$, sequential dose showed higher first order reaction rate and removal efficiency than simultaneous dose. It is estimated that when nZVI is dosed 30 minutes in advance, pre-treatment occurs and nanoscale $Fe^0$ is oxidized to $Fe^{2+}$ and TCE is pre-reduced and becomes easier to degrade. When $H_2O_2$ is dosed at this time, OH radicals are generated and degrade TCE actively.

The aim of our study was to investigate the protective effects of intraperitoneally-administrated vitamin E, dl-alpha lipoic acid, and linalool on the level of total lipid and fatty acid in guinea pig brains with oxidative stress that was induced by $H_2O_2$. The total brain lipid content in the $H_2O_2$ group decreased when compared to the $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E (p<0.05), $H_2O_2$ + linalool (p<0.05), ALA (p<0.05), control (p<0.01), linalool (p<0.01), and vitamin E (p<0.01) groups. While the proportion of total saturated fatty acid (${\Sigma}SFA$) in the $H_2O_2$ group significantly increased (p<0.005) when compared to the vitamin E group, it only slightly increased (p<0.01) when compared to the control and $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E groups. The ratio of the total unsaturated fatty acid (${\Sigma}USFA$) in the $H_2O_2$ groups was lower (p<0.05) than the control, vitamin E, and $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E groups. The level of the total polyunsaturated fatty acid (${\Sigma}PUEA$) in the $H_2O_2$ group decreased in when compared to the control, vitamin E, and $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E groups. While the proportion of the total w3 (omega 3), w6 (omega 6), and PUFA were found to be lowest in the $H_2O_2$ group, they were slightly increased (p<0.05) in the lipoic acid group when compared to the control and $H_2O_2$ + lipoic acid groups. However, the level of ${\Sigma}SFA$ in the $H_2O_2$ group was highest; the level of ${\Sigma}USFA$ in same group was lowest. As the proportion of ${\Sigma}USFA$ and ${\Sigma}PUFA$ were found to be highest in the linalool group, they were decreased in the $H_2O_2$ group when compared to the control group. Our results show that linalool has antioxidant properties, much the same as vitamin E and lipoic acid, to prevent lipid peroxidation. Additionally, vitamin E, lipoic acid, and linalool could lead to therapeutic approaches for limiting damage from oxidation reaction in unsaturated fatty acids, as well as for complementing existing therapy for the treatment of complications of oxidative damage.

$(NH_4)_{4.5}[H_{3.5}{\alpha}-PtMo_6O_{24}]{\cdot}1.5\;H_2O(A),\;(NH_4)_4[H_4{\beta}-PtMo_6O_{24}]{\cdot}1.5\;H_2O(B),\;and\;K_{3.5}[H_{4.5}{\alpha}-PtMo_6O_{24}]{\cdot}3\;H_2O(C)$ have been synthesized and their molecular structures have been also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The space groups, unit cell parameters, and R factors are as follows: Compound A, monoclinic, $A_{2/a}$, a= 19.074 (3), b=21.490 (3), c=15.183 (2) ${\AA};\;{\beta}$=109.67 (1) ${\AA}$; z=8; R=0.075($IF_0I>4{\sigma}(IF_0I);$ Compound B, triclinic, P$bar{1}$, a=10.776 (2), b=15.174 (4), c=10.697 (3) ${\AA};\;{\alpha}$ =126.29 (2), ${\beta}$=111.55 (2), ${\gamma}$=93.18 (2) ${\AA}$; Z=2; R=0.046($IF_0I>3{\sigma}(IF_0I);$): Compound C, triclinic, Pl, a=12.426 (2), b=13.884 (2), c=10.089 (1) ${\AA}$; ${\alpha}$=102.59 (2), ${\beta}$=110.73 (1), ${\gamma}$=53.93 (1) ${\AA}$; Z=2; R=0.074 ($IF_0I>3{\sigma}(IF_0I)$. Compounds A and C contain the well-known Anderson structure (planar structure) heteropoly oxometalate having approximate $bar{3}_m(D_{3d})$ symmetry, while compound B contains the bent structure heteropoly oxometalate having appproximate $2_{mm}(C2_v)$ symmetry. The bent structure and the planar one are geometrical isomers. These compounds are rot only novel heteroply molybdates containing platinate(IV) but also the first example of geometrical isomerism in the hexamolybdoheteropoly oxometalates. That isomerization surprisingly occurred because of the change of only 0.5 non-acidic hydrogen atom attached to the polyanion such as $[H_{3.5}{\alpha} -PtMo_6O_{24}]^{4.5-}{\to}[H_4{\beta}-PtMo_6O_{24}]^{4-}{\to}[H_{4.5}{\alpha} -PtMo_6O_{24}]^{3.5-}$. It seems that the gradual protonation of the polyanion plays an important role in that isomerism. These heteropolyanions form dimers by strong hydrogen bonds between two heteropolyanions in the respective crystal system.

Two new high-nitrogen energetic compounds $ZTO{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $ZTO(phen){\cdot}H_2O$ have been synthesized (where ZTO = 4,4-azo-1,2,4-triazol-5-one and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). The crystal structure, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy are presented. Compound 1 $ZTO{\cdot}2H_2O$ crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Pnna and compound 2 $ZTO(phen){\cdot}H_2O$ in the triclinic crystal system with space group P-1. In $ZTO(phen){\cdot}H_2O$, there is intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the -NH group of ZTO molecule (as donor) and N atom of phen molecule (as acceptor). Thermal decomposition process is studied by applying the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo thermogravimetric differential analysis (TG-DTG). The DSC curve shows that there is one exothermic peak in $ZTO{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $ZTO(phen){\cdot}H_2O$, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion ($T_b$) for $ZTO{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $ZTO(phen){\cdot}H_2O$ is $282.21^{\circ}C$ and $195.94^{\circ}C$, respectively.

배경: 폐혈관 손상에 관한 기전은 여러 보고에도 불구하고 자세히 밝혀지지는 않았다. 최근 산화성 스트레스 질환에 관여하는 과산화 수소($H_2O$$_2$) 등의 활성 산소족(reactive oxygen species)은 세포손상과 세포자사(apoptosis)에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 $H_2O$$_2$에 의하여 유발된 산화성 스트레스가, 폐혈관 손상 기전의 하나로 추측되고 있는 세포자사를 야기하는지를 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 소의 폐동맥에서 유래된 calf pupmonary artery endothelial cell line(CPAE)를 이용하였다. $H_2O$$_2$에 의한 세포 독성을 측정하기 위하여, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay를 시행하였다. $H_2O$$_2$에 의한 세포의 형태학적 변화는 도립 현미경으로 분석하였다. 세포자사를 확인하기 위하여 terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL) assay와 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI) staining 방법 및 flow cytometry 분석를 시행하였다. 결과: $H_2O$$_2$에 의한 세포 생존율은, 대조군(100%)과 비교하여 3시간 실험군에서 10$\mu$M에서 약 70%, 50 $\mu$M에서 약 33%, 100 $\mu$M에서 약 26%, 500 $\mu$M에서 약 28%이였다. $H_2O$$_2$투여시 세포돌기 감소, 세포 축소, 세포질 응축과 불규칙한 형태 등의 세포자사에 나타나는 형태학적 변화를 나타내었다. TUNEL assay와 DAPI staining에서도 세포자사에 특징적으로 나타나는 핵응축과 핵분절 등의 소견을 나타내었다. Flow cytometry 분석 시에도 $H_2O$$_2$투여시 sub G$_1$분절의 증가와 G$_1$분절의 감소 등의 세포자사 양상이 확인되었다. 결론: 형태학적 분석과 생화학적 분석을 통하여, $H_2O$$_2$는 CPAE에서 세포자사를 야기함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 폐혈관 손상의 기전에 $H_2O$$_2$에 의한 세포자사가 부분적으로 관여할 가능성을 제시한다.

UV-C and -B types of lamps, and $H_2O_2$ as a photocatalytic material were applied to optimize processing conditions for pesticides removal in Mandarine orange peel. Factors to affect the removal of pestrcides were arranged as a function of irradiation temperature, irradiation time, and $H_2O_2$ spray concentration. The optimum processing conditions for the chloropyrifos and the EPN removals in Mandarine orange peel were irradiation time of 60 min, irradiation temperature of $45^{\circ}C$ and $H_2O_2$ spray concentration of 1000 ppm. However, the optimum processing conditions for methidathion removal were 60 min of irradiation time, $40^{\circ}C$ of irradiation temperature and 1000 ppm of $H_2O_2$ spray concentration. The residual percentages of chloropyrifos, EPN and methidathion were 46, 49 and 28% after above irradiation processing, respectively.

The title one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded coordination compound $[Cu^{II}(C_{13}H_{17}N_3OBr)(C_8H_5O_4)]{\cdot}2H_2O.CH_3OH$ has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The monomeric unit contains a square-planar $Cu^{II}$ centre. The four coordination sites are occupied by a tridentate anionic Schiff base ligand (4-bromo-2-[(2-piperazin-1-yl-ethylimino)-methyl]-phenol) which furnishes an $N_2O$-donor set, with the fourth position being occupied by the oxygen atom of an adjacent terephthalate unit. Two adjacent neutral molecules are linked through intermolecular N-H---O and O-H---N hydrogen bonds and generate a dimeric pair. Each dimeric pair is connected with each other via discrete water and methanol molecules by hydrogen bonding to form a one-dimensional supramolecular network.
