Various asymmetric Polysulfone membranes were prepared for a MBR process. Ether-typed alcohols (co-solvent) were added into a dope solution in order to control the pore size of membrane, whose effect on water permeability were investigated. Pore size of the prepared membranes were more affected by molecular-structure of co-solvent than by boiling point of theirs. With the increasing order of methoxy ($CH_3$-O-) < secondary propanol ($-CH_2$-CH(OH)$-CH_3$) < ethoxy ($CH_3-CH_2$-O-), water permeability of the prepared membrane increased. The phenomenon might attribute to the difference of molecularly steric hinderance of co-solvent (eg, Methoxy propanol, Ethoxy ethanol, Methoxy ethanol) in dope solution during the phase inversion. By the addition of ether typed alcohol into a dope solution, the pore size of MF (microfiltration) could be controlled. Also, Membrane prepared was applied to a MBR process and the system was stably operated for 2 months.

Poly(ethylene glycol) with number-average molecular weight (M$_{n}$) of 200 (PEG 200) or 400 (PEG 400) was reacted with various linking agents (CH$_2$Cl$_2$, CH$_2$Br$_2$, CH$_2$I$_2$, Br(CH$_2$)$_3$Br) in the presence of alkali to form of oxyalkylene linked chains. Molecular weights of copolymers were controlled using feed mole ratio of alkali/CH$_2$C1$_2$/PEG. The M$_{n}$ of the polymers measured by end group analysis and that measured by GPC agreed well. Molecuglar weights of polyether copolymers obtained from PEG 200 and PEG 400 were about 500~8500 and 1000~2000, respectively. Polyether copolymers prepared from PEG 400 showed melting points of around 1$0^{\circ}C$. Glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were around -75$^{\circ}C$ and the crystallinity was about 0~25%. The polyether copolymers prepared from PEG 200 had no crystallinity below the M$_{n}$ of 2500. 2500.

The diamond thin film was deposited on Si(100) substrate from$CH_3OH/H_2O$mixtured gas using a hot filament chemical vapor deposition(HFCVD) method. The deposition condition for samples has been varried with the$CH_3OH/H_2O$composition. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Raman spectroscopy has been employed for the sample analysis. The diamond sample has been obtained below 20Pa with$CH_3OH/H_2O$mixtured gas. The crystallinity of diamond film improved as the composition $CH_3OH$decreases from 60Vol% to 52Vol%, and the sample structure changed from the cauliflower to the diamond structure. But the sample structure was becomes cauliflower at 50Vol% of in$CH_3OH$ in the $CH_3OH/H_2O$. It was shown that the$CH_3OH$ has threshold composition.

Laser induced fluorescence studies of hydrogen atom using four wave mixing technique are reported for the photodissociation of CH4 and its isotopomers at Lya (121.6 nm). The source of dissociating and probe radiation is one and the same (delay time??20 nsec). The average translational energy of ejected hydrogen atoms (50 Kcal/mol) reveals that CH4 + hn??CH3 + H(2S) and CH4 + hn??CH2(a1A1) + H2(1Sg) are the main dissociation processes. The absolute quantum yield for CH4 and CD4 are the same, FH(CH4) = FD(CD4) = 0.31 0.05. If one divides the experimental H/D ratios from the isotopomers CH3D, CH2D2, CHD3 by the isotopic H/D ratios, a value 2 is obtained in all three cases. Overall, the heavier D atoms are more likely than the H atoms to remain attached to the carbon atom.

The addition effect of $CH^3Br$ on the ignition of methane was investigated in the temperature range of 1537-1920 K behind reflected shock waves. The ignition delay times were measured by the sudden increase of pres-sure and OH emission in the $CH_4-O_2-Ar$ system containing small amount of $CH_3Br.$ The delay times of mix-tures with $CH_3Br$ were shorter than those without $CH_3Br.$ The promotion of ignition by $CH_3Br$ was caused by the relative fast decomposition rate in additive. To clarify the addition effect of $CH_3Br$ from the viewpoint of the reaction mechanism, computational analyses were performed in $CH_4-CH_3Br-O_2-Ar$ mixtures.

Excess molar volumes (Vm E ) of binary liquid mixtures: xC6H5CH3 + (1-x1)CH3CN or + (1-x1)C6H5NO2, or + (1-x1)C2H5NO2 have been determined as a function of mole fraction of C6H5CH3 (x) at a temperature of 303.15 K over a entire range of composition. The densities of the binary liquid mixtures were determined by pycnometrically. The VmE values of the mixtures have been found to be negative over the whole composition in order of C6H5CH3 + C6H5NO2, < C6H5CH3 + CH3CN, and < C6H5CH3 + C2H5NO2. The negative magnitude of VmE suggests the presence of intermolecular interaction in the three binary liquid mixtures.

has been synthesized using the layered organic-inorganic hybrids, Cu2(OH)3(CH3COO)·H2O as a precursor. Cubic Cu2O is synthesized by reducing Cu2(OH)3(CH3COO)·H2O with glucose in water at 75oC. The effects of precursor and glucose are investigated. The structure of Cu2(OH)3(CH3COO)·H2O plays an important role in preparing the uniform size of Cu2O.

The photoreactions of $ReH_5(Cyttp)\;(1)\;(Cyttp=PhP(CH_2CH_2CH_2PCy_2)_2)\;with\;CO,\;CO_2\;and\;PMe_3 has been investigated to find the differences in reactivities from those of trismonophosphine analog. Irradiation of 1 under CO, $CO_2$ and excess $PMe_3$ in benzene results in the formation of the complexes, $ReH(CO)_2(Cyttp)\;(2),\;ReH_2({\eta}^2-HCO_2)(Cyttp)\;(3)\;and\;$ReH_3(PMe_3)(Cyttp)$ (4), respectively. The resulting products suggest that photoreactions of $ReH_5(Cyttp)$ proceed by photoextrusion of $H_2$ giving a phototransient species "$ReH_3$(Cyttp)" which can be trapped by CO, $CO_2\;and\;PMe_3$. The structures of 2, 3 and 4 are inferred based on $^1H,\;^{31}P$ NMR and I. R spectroscopy.

Existing theoretical calculations predict that infrared spectra of the two most fundamental reactive carbo-ions, methyl cation $CH{_3}^+$ with $D_{3h}$ symmetry and protonated methyl cation $CH{_5}^+$ with $C_s(I)$, $C_s(II)$, and $C_{2v}$ symmetries, appear together in the 7-${\mu}m$ region corresponding to the C-H bending modes. Vibrational band profiles of $CH{_3}^+$ and $CH{_5}^+$ have been compared by ab initio calculation methods that use the basis sets of MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ. Our results indicate that the bands of rotation-vibration transitions of $CH{_3}^+$ and $CH{_5}^+$ should overlap not only in the 3-${\mu}m$ region corresponding to the C-H stretching modes but also in the 7-${\mu}m$ region corresponding to the C-H bending modes. Five band intensities of $CH{_5}^+$ among fifteen vibrational transitions between 6 and 8 ${\mu}m$ region are stronger than those of the ${\nu}_2$ and ${\nu}_4$ bands in $CH{_3}^+$. Ultimate near degeneracy of the two bending vibrations ${\nu}_2$ and ${\nu}_4$ of $CH{_3}^+$along with the stronger intensities of $CH{_5}^+$ in the three hydrogen scrambling structures may cause extreme complications in the analysis of the high-resolution carbo-ion spectra in the 7-${\mu}m$ region.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation effect of Cynomorii Herba(CH) extract on contracted rabbit carotid artery.Methods : To clarify the vasorelaxation effect of CH extract, arterial strips with intact was used, to endothelium -dependent vasorelaxation effect of CH extract, arterial strips damaged endothelium was used for experiment using organ bath. Arterial strips was contracted with phenylephrine(PE) before treated with CH extract(0.01, 0.03 and 0.1 ㎎/㎖). To study mechanisms of CH-induced vasorelaxation effect, CH extract infused into arterial rings after treatment by indomethacin(IM), tetraethylammonium chloride(TEA), Nω-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), methylene blue(MB) for comparing with non-treated. And calcium chloride(Ca²⁺) 1 mM was treated into precontracted arterial ring induced by PE after treatment of CH extract in Ca²⁺-free krebs solution. Cytotoxic activity of CH extract on human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC) was measured by MTT assay, and nitric oxide(NO) concentration was measured by Griess reagent.Results : PE-induced arterial strips was significantly relaxed, but the damaged endothelium arterial ring wasn't relaxed by CH extract. Pretreatment of IM, TEA didn't inhibit the vasorelaxation of CH extract, but pretreatment of L-NNA, MB inhibited the vasorelaxation of CH extract. Pretreatment of CH extract reduced the increase of contraction by influx of extracellular Ca²⁺ in contracted arterial ring induced by PE, CH extract increased nitric oxide concentration on HUVEC significantly.Conclusions : This study shows that CH extract have the vasorelaxation effect by blocking the influx of extracellular Ca²⁺ through the activating NO-cGMP system.
