The penicillin amidase from Escherichia coli (ATCC 9637) was immobilized by entrappment in gelatin and DEAE-cellulose mixture cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, and the kinetics in a differential column reactor was studied. The optimal operating condition of a differential reactor was reasonably met when the enzyme loading was 1g, and 30 mM substrate solution in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) was fed at flow rate 4$m\ell$/min and 4$0^{\circ}C$. The optimal pH and temperature were found to be 8.0 and 55$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The Michaelis-Menten constant was 4.8 mM while the maximum velocity was 308 units/g of the immobilized enzyme under the condition of the differential reactor. The effect of substrate inhibition disappeared in the immobilized enzyme preparation. The differential reactor was proved to be good for studying the true kinetics since the pH drop and the external diffusional resistance could be eliminated.

Kinetics for the reaction of para-substituted benzyl bromides with 3-picoline have been studied with the changes of substituent, pressure and temperature. The activation parameters and the Hammett ρ-values were determined from the values of rate constants. The results of these studies showed that the positive charge developed in the reaction center and bond cleavage was greater than bond formation. The reaction rate and the ability of charge transfer were increased with elevating pressure. The effect of pressure for the charge transfer was more enhanced at low temperatures.

In the present work, we have investigated the adsorption efficiency of carbon/iron oxide nanocomposite towards removal of hazardous brilliant green (BG) from aqueous solutions. Carbon/iron oxide nanocomposite was prepared by chemical precipitation and thermal treatment of carbon with ferric nitrate at $750^{\circ}C$. The resulting material was thoroughly characterized by TEM, XRD and TGA. The adsorption studies of BG onto nanocomposite were performed using kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The adsorption kinetics shows that pseudo-second-order rate equation was fitted better than pseudo-first-order rate equation. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Equilibrium data was fitted well to the Langmuir model with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 64.1 mg/g. The thermodynamic parameters were also deduced for the adsorption of BG onto nanocomposite and the adsorption was found to be spontaneous and endothermic.

The kinetics of polycondensation of bishydroxyethyl naphthalate has been studied in the range of 241 -$260^{\circ}C$ using antimony trioxide catalyst. The reaction was performed in a batch reactor and the concentration of reaction mixture was measured with HPLC. The activation energy values of forward and reverse reaction determined from molecular species model were found to be 19.7 and 31.4 kcal/mole, respectively, and the equilibrium constants were in the range of 1.4-2.0, which were larger than that of polycondensation of PET and varied to some degree with temperature. It was confirmed by applying the Flory's distribution function that the reaction rate of the hyroxyethyl group does not depend on the molecular size. By applying functional group model, we observed that there was few difference between the activation energy of the forward reaction and that of reverse reaction, therefore the equilibrium constant has almost constant value of 1.4. The rate constants obtained from functional group model was about 3-4 times larger than that from molecular species model, which showed that both model explains the reaction system well. Although the molecular species model should predict the concentration of as many as ten molecules, it fits for the experimental results well.

The kinetics of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a series of 1-aryl-2-pyrrylideneaniline (3) have been studied in 20% MeOH solution using UV spectrophotometer. Substituents in 3 showed a relatively small effect, with hydrolysis facilitated by electron withdrawing group. By obtaing linear plots of $log k_{obs}$ against Hammett ${\sigma}$ constants, it was able to show that substituents had a considerable contribution to the aromaticity of pyrrole compounds. The small positive ${\rho}$ values were consistent with the rate-determining addition of water to the protonated schiff base in the buffer solution of pH 4 to 8, whereas the addition of water to the free imine seemed to be the rate-determining in the solution of acidities greater than pH 8.

The retention of $^{51}$ Cr was studied as chromate after dissolution of irradiated ammonium chromate with reactor exposure time and various storage time at room temperature. The annealing process of ammonium chromate depending on various storage time at room temperature follows first-order kinetics from zero time value to the pseudo-equilibrium value. The retention is increased with reactor irradiation time, also following first-order kinetics.

Cure kinetics of DGEBA(diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/MDA(4,4'-methylene dianiline)/GN(glutaronitrile) system with and without HQ(hydroquinone) as a catalyst was studied by Kissinger equation and Fractional life method. The activation energy of the system with HQ was somewhat lower and the pre-exponential factor of that was higher by about 30% than those of the system without HQ. As 1.25phr of HQ was added, reaction rates increased about 1.8 times.

The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of in-vehicle pedestrian warning systems. Driving Simulator-based experiments were conducted to collect data to represent driver's responsive behavior. The braking frequency, lane change duration, and collision speed were used as measure of effectiveness (MOE) to evaluate the effectiveness. Collision speed data obtained from the simulation experiments were further used to predict pedestrian injury severity. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of warning information systems by reducing the pedestrian injury severity. It is expected that the proposed evaluation methodology and outcomes will be useful in developing various vehicular technologies and relevant policies to enhance pedestrian safety.
