The quantum yields of fluorescence ($\Phi$$_f$) and trans $\to$ cis photoisomerization ($\Phi$$_{t$\to$ c}$), trans-4-(2-(9-anthryl)vinyl)pyridine, an aza analogue of 1-(9-anthryl)-2-phenylethylene, were measured in several solvents at room temperature. $\Phi$$_f$ and $\Phi$$_{t$\to$ c}$ are 0.38 and < 0.01 in hexane and 0.02 and 0.38 in acetonitrile, respectively. As solvent polarity decreases, $\Phi$$_{t$\to$ c}$ strongly reduced, whereas $\Phi$$_f$ strongly increased. A singlet mechanism of trans $\to$ cis photoisomerization is suggested since $\Phi$$_{t$\to$ c}$ and $\Phi$$_f$ change in opposite direction.

The mobilization and biodegradation of phenanthrene in soil was enhanced by using paraffin oil, which was stabilized by the addition of a surfactant (Brji 30). The ratio of paraffin oil/Brij 30 was determined by measuring the change in the critical micelle concentration. When only surfactant was used, the stabilized paraffin oil emulsion could dissolve more phenanthrene in the water phase. Column experiment showed increased phenanthrene mobilization from the contaminated soil. The phenanthrene mobilized in the paraffine oil/Brij 30 emulsion was biodegraded faster than that in water phase or surfactant solution. This result indicates that a paraffin oil/surfactant system can be effectively used for the removal of PAH from contaminated soil.

The selective catalytic oxidation of toxic aromatic solvents (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and styrene) and their mixtures were studied on a $Pt/{\;}{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst at temperature ranging from $160~350^{\circ}C$. The deep conversion of aromatic solvents was increased as the inlet concentration was decreased and the reaction temperature was increased. The reactivity increases in order benzene > toluene > ethylbenzene > styrene. In mixture, remarkable effects on reaction rate and selectivity have been evidence ; the strongest inhibition effect is shown by styrene and increase in a reverse order with respect to that of reactivity. The inhibition effect was increased in order styrene > ethylbenzene > toluzene > benzene. This trend is due to the competition adsorption between the two or three reactants on the oxidized catalyst. Also, the deep conversion change of benzene was a small in tertiary mixtures(including of benzene and styrene) comparing with conversion characteristics of binary mixture with styrene. This result was due to small concentration of styrene. which had very strong inhibition effect.

SnO2 powder was prepared by hydroxide method and oxalate method. In hydroxide method, the pH dependence of powder characteristics was investigated by using buffer solution. As increasing the pH of solution, SnO2 powder size was decreased because nucleation rate was inctreased by more supersaturation of solution. Also, we found that the powder by our method has larger specific surface area in comaprison with other method. And the degree of agglomeration of precipitate with the change of precipitation temperature was investigated in oxalate method. The SnC2O4 was angular shape precipitate, and the size of the SnC2O4 was increased with the increase of precipitation temperature in methanol solvent.

Chemical structure and electrical characteristics of 5 commercial crosslinked polyethylenes (XLPE) used as insulating materials for medium voltage distribution power cables in Korea were investigated. It was found that each XLPE shows different properties depending on the type of XLPE. Chemical structural irregularities of pellets change considerably by crossliking reaction, with some irregularities being disappeared after crosslikeng reaction. It was also found through a solvent extraction study that additives such as crosslinking agent and antioxidants act as major source retarding water tree growth. Low molecular weight polyethylene chains plays a different role in water tree growth of XLPE.

Nowadays the hydrophilic polymeric networks (polymer hydrogels) due to the complex of benefit physico-chemical properties attract a wide attention of specialists working in various fields of science, medicine and technology. The special attention of chemists is aimed on so-called stimuli-sensitive or intelligent hydrogels, which can undergo a volume phase transition in response to change in environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, solvent composition, etc [1]. Scientific group of Kazak State National University, Department of Macromolecular Chemistry works in this field [2-5]. Here we report about our achievements on pH-sensitive hydrogens.

The association constants (K) of 3,5,N-trimethyl pyridinium iodide in 95 volume percent ethanol-water mixed solvent were determined by a modified UV and conductance method at $25^{\circ},\;30{\circ},\;40{\circ}\;and\;50{\circ}C$ over the pressure range 1 to 2000 bars. The association process is enhanced with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature. From K values, we obtained the total partial molar volume change (${\Delta}V$) and some thermodynamic parameters. The electrostriction volume (${\Delta}V_{el}$) and intrinsic volume (${\Delta}V_{in}$) were also evaluated. The values of ${\Delta}V,\;{\Delta}V_{el},\;{\Delta}V_{in}$ are negative, negative and positive, respectively, and the absolute values of all these three decrease with increasing pressure and temperature. The ion-pair size (a) were varied 3 to 6 ${\AA}$, with pressure and temperature. The solvation number (n) decreased from 2 to 0.5 with increasing temperature.

Objectives : Jakyakgamcho-tang has been used as analgesic and spasmolytic for muscle pain. It has reported to anti-diabetes, anti-inflammation, and neuro-protective effects. A clinical study of muscle fatigue and pain improvement effect of Jakyakgamcho-tang has been reported with increasing frequency of clinical use. However, the anti-fatigue effect of Jakyakgamcho-tang in animal model has not been studied. In this study, we compared anti-physical fatigue effects of water and 30% ethanol extract of Jakyakgamcho-tang. Methods : The amounts of components contained in water and 30% ethanol extract of Jakyakgamcho-tang were compared by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Anti-physical fatigue effects were evaluated using weight-loaded forced swimming test. We also investigated the effects of Jakyakgamcho-tang on the change of fatigue parameters by blood biochemical analysis. Results : The relative amount of components of Jakyakgamcho-tang were about 19-53% higher in the 30% ethanol extract than in the water extract. In the swimming test, 30% ethanol extract showed a significantly greater anti-fatigue effects than conventional water extract of Jakyakgamcho-tang. The 30% ethanol extract of Jakyakgamcho-tang improved the exhausted swimming time (54%), and serum lactate dehydrogenase (48%) and lactic acid (60%) levels compared with water extract of Jakyakgamcho-tang. Conclusions : These results showed that differences in the amounts of components by different extraction were associated with differences of anti-fatigue effect of Jakyakgamcho-tang. Thus, the 30% ethanol extraction method could be applied to dose-reducing formulations of traditional herbal medicines.

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has proved to be an effective tool in applied environmental nanotechnology, where the decreased particle diameter provides a drastic change in the properties and efficiency of nanomaterials used in water purification. However, the agglomeration and colloidal instability represent a problematic and a remarkable reduction in nZVI reactivity. In view of that, this study reports a simple and cost-effective new strategy for ultra-small (< 7.5%) distributed functionalized nZVI-EG (1-9 nm), with high colloidal stability and reduction capacity. These were obtained without inert conditions, using a simple, economical synthesis methodology employing two stabilization mechanisms based on the use of non-aqueous solvent (methanol) and ethylene glycol (EG) as a stabilizer. The information from UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggests iron ion coordination by interaction with methanol molecules. Subsequently, after nZVI formation, particle-surface modification occurs by the addition of the EG. Size distribution analysis shows an average diameter of 4.23 nm and the predominance (> 90%) of particles with sizes < 6.10 nm. Evaluation of the stability of functionalized nZVI by sedimentation test and a dynamic light-scattering technique, demonstrated very high colloidal stability. The ultra-small particles displayed a rapid and high nitrate removal capacity from water.

Metal brackets were recycled by variable methods for economic reason. Such recycling methods had a great effect on bracket slot width and bonding strength. Therefore, the recycling methods that don't change the properties of original bracket were suggested. In this study, debonded brackets were recycled with 30 kinds of solvents and bracket surfaces were examined by S.E.M. (Super IIIA, ISI International Scientific Instruments, Japan) and Stero Microscope (Sz-Tr, Olympus Tokyo, Japan) methods. The following results were obtained. 1. Thermosetting resin adhesives (eq. $Monolok^{(R)}$, $Concise^{(R)}$) were swelled most in sulfuric acid (assays 95%) and slightly in alcohol groups. 2. The solvent was exchanged every 24 hours during the brackets were recycled with sulfuric acid (assays 95%). As the passage of time, the adhesives were removed more clearly, and after 72 hours adhesives were nearly detached from bracket base. 3. Chemical recycled metal bracket surface showed no irregular structure by S.E.M. method.
