To increase paper strength, refining and wet pressing are performed. Many researches were carried out to identify the origin of paper strength. Since fracture toughness was governed by stress concentration, fracture toughness reflects microscopic paper strength. The aim of this paper is to analyze how paper strength was affected by changes of refining and wet-pressing. Fiber properties and structural, tensile and fracture properties of hand­sheets were evaluated. Especially, fracture toughness was evaluated by J-integral. As the refining proceeds, stock properties maybe divided into two stages such as fibers activation and fines activation according to freeness. In fibers activation stages, about 750-450 mL CSF, the fracture toughness increased with refining and wet pressing but in fines activation stages, about 450-250 mL CSF, the fracture toughness increased only with wet pressing. It is clear that fracture toughness was affected not only by fibers properties but also by fines properties in fines activation stages.

The electrorheological (ER) behavior of suspensions in silicone oil of phosphoric ester cellulose powder (average particle size: 17.77 $\mu$m) was investigated at room temperature with electric fields up to 2.5 KV/mm. For development of anhydrous ER suspensions using at wide temperature range, we aimed to know the effect of activation of phosphoric ester cellulose particles on the ER activities. As a first step, the anhydrous ER suspensions mixing with the phosphoric ester cellulose particles which were treated with 2M phosporic acid and 4M urea were measured. After activating the anhydrous ER suspensions at 12$0^{\circ}C$, not only the analysis of dispersing cellulose particles which were reacted by phosphoric ester but also the electrorheological characteristics of ER suspensions such as dielectric constant, current density, electrical conductivity and rheological properties were studied. From the experimental results, the activation of phosphoric ester cellulose particles had an influence on the ER properties of anhydrous ER suspensions. As the activation time went by, the size and number of dispersing particles, the electrical properties and the initial apparent viscosity $(η_0)$ of ER suspensions were increased till the activation time passed 5 hours. Also, it was possible, the electrorheological effect $($\tau$/$\tau$_0)$ of ER fluids was grown by the activation of phosphoric ester cellulose particles.

In this study, activated carbon fabric was prepared from a cellulose-based polymer (viscose rayon) via a combination of physical and chemical activation (mixed activation) processes by means of $CO_2$ as a gasifying agent and surface and adsorption properties were evaluated. Experiments were performed to investigate the consequence of activation temperature (750, 800, 850 and $925^{\circ}C$), activation time (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes) and $CO_2$ flow rate (100, 200, 300 and 400 mL/min) on the surface and adsorption properties of ACF. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K was measured and used for the determination of surface area, total pore volume, micropore volume, mesopore volume and pore size distribution using BET, t-plot, DR, BJH and DFT methods, respectively. It was observed that BET surface area and TPV increase with rising activation temperature and time due to the formation of new pores and the alteration of micropores into mesopores. It was also found that activation temperature dominantly affects the surface properties of ACF. The adsorption of iodine and $CCl_4$ onto ACF was investigated and both were found to correlate with surface area.

Concentrated catfish Silurus asotus bile (SAB) containing high amounts of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and taurocholic acid may have immunosuppressive properties. To investigate the putative immunosuppressive properties of SAB, the anti-proliferation and suppression of early T cell activation markers, and the inhibition of cytokines induced by T cells in response to anti-CD3 mAb activation in mouse splenocytes were examined. The suppression of these activation repertoires are the main properties of calcineurin inhibitors. It was found that SAB effectively suppressed the activation of T cells, and cytokines from T cell activation, at levels similar to cyclosporine A, a calcineurin inhibitor. Although the mechanism in which suppression occurs is not clear, we speculate that SAB from Silurus asotus, which has been known to switch their intake habits to zoophagy during an early adult stage, may explain the suppressive effect of SAB as a result of high amounts of functional UDCA in bile. Our results suggest that the treatment or intake of SAB, either in therapy or as a food supplement, may act as an adjuvant therapy for the prevention of transplant rejection, although further investigation is required before this treatment can be applied clinically.

In this work, activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from polystyrene-based cation-exchangeable resin (PSI) by a chemical activation with KOH as an activating agent. The surface morphologies were observed by using SEM, and the textural properties were investigated by using nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. From the experimental results, it was found that the well-developed micro- and mesopores were produced by a chemical activation, and the textural properties including specific surface areas and pore volumes were greatly enhanced. The electrochemical behaviors of the ACs showed similar phenomena with that of textural properties. These results indicated that KOH activation played an important role in the changes of surface, and pore structures, resulting in enhancing the electrochemical properties of the ACs prepared in present work.

In this study, new evaluation method for the stability and corrosion resistance properties of passive films has been suggested by means of observation of self-activation process in open-circuit state and galvanostatic nanoscale reduction test. The experiments were performed for air-formed oxide film in case of plain carbon steel, and for anodically passivated films formed in aqueous sulfuric acid solutions in case of titanium and 304 stainless steel. From these experimental results, we derived two parameters, $i_{0}$ and $q_{0}$, which characterize the self-activation process and the properties of passive film on a stainless steel surface. The parameter $i_{0}$ was defined as the rate of self-activation, and $q_{0}$, the reduced amount of charge during the self-activation process. In conclusion, it is considered that the stability and corrosion resistance of passive metals and alloys can be evaluated quantitatively by three parameters of $\tau_{0}$, $q_{0}$, and $i_{0}$, which easily obtain by means of observing the self-activation process and galvanostatic nanoscale reduction test.

Using an atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital (ASED-MO) method, we have compared adsorption properties of adsorbates on the Pt(Ill) surface with the Pt(lll)/γ-Al203 surface in the ethylene hydrogenation reaction. In two-layer thick model systems, the calculated activation energy of the hydrogenation by the surface platinum hydride is equal to the energy by the hydride over supported platinum/γ-alumina. The transition structure on platinum is very close to the structure on the supported platinum/γ-alumina surface. Hydrogenation by the surface hydride on platinum can take place easily because the activation energy is about 0.5 eV less than hydrogenation by ethylidene. On supported platinum/,y-alumina the activation energy of the hydride mechanism is about 0.61 eV less than that of ethylidene mechanism. In one-layer thick model systems, the activation energy of hydrogenation by ethylidene is about 0.13 eV less than the activation energy of hydride reaction. The calculated activation energy by the hydride over the supported platinum y-alumina is 0. 24 eV higher than the platinum surface. We have found from this result that the catalytic properties of one-layer thick model systems have been influenced by the support but the two-layer thick model systems have not been influenced by the support.

PMOS capacitors with Ce-policide electrode were fabricated by the SADS method to study the effects of activation condition on the C-V characteristics. For the activation temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ , the capacitor using CoSi$_2$ formed from Co/Ti bilayer as diffusion source showed excellent C-V properties and the increase in V$_{th}$ with the increasing activation time. But impurties into the oxide.e.
