A series of activated carbons were prepared from coconut shells and coal-tar pitch binder by physical activation with steam in this study. The effect of variable processes such as activation temperature, activation time and ratio of mixing was investigated for optimizing those preparation parameters. The activation processes were carried out continuously. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K on pellet-shaped activated carbons show the same trend of Type I by IUPAC classification. The average pore sizes were about 19-21${\AA}$. The specific surface areas ($S_{BET}$) of pellet typed ACs increased with increasing the activation temperature and time. Specific surface area of AC treated for 90 min at temperature $900^{\circ}C$ was 1082 $m^2/g$. The methylene blue numbers continuously increased with increasing the activation temperature and time. On the other hand, iodine numbers highly increased till activation time of 60 min, but the rate of increase of iodine numbers decreased after that time. This indicates that new micropores were created and the existing micropores turned into mesopores and macropores because of increased reactivity of carbon surface and $H_2O$.

Compressibility and expansibility of activation, ${\Delta}K^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}E^{\neq},$ are defined with the use of general principles that an activation parameter is the difference in partial molar quantities of the parameter for the transition and initial state. Two related parameters, (${\partial}{\Delta}H^{\neq}/{\partial}P)_{\gamma}\;and\;{\Delta}W^{\neq}(=P{\Delta}V^{\neq}),$ are also derived. Simpler interpretation of the existing kinetic data are possible with these activation parameters, while other derivations lead to complicated expressions of no practical significance.

In order to search a method of manufacturing better activated clay in an effcient way, attempt was made to select particularly samples for activation to concentrate the research upon them with varied activation to concentrate the research upon them with varied activation conditions. Special attention was also made to the low quality materials because they may become good activated clay if treated under a suitable activation condition.

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.

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG) is traditionally used medicinal herb that has anti-oxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we investigated whether the extracts of SBG have the inhibitory activity in the osteoclast differentiation by using mouse monocytes RAW264.7 cells and primary mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Methanol extract (ME) from SBG was successively fractionated into methylene chloride (MF), ethylacetate (EF) and n-butanol fraction (BF). The activity assay for tartrateresistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and Western blot analysis were employed to evaluate the osteoclasts differentiation and the activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, respectively. ME, MF, EF and BF significantly and dose-dependently inhibited osteoclast differentiation without the decrease of cell viability at the concentrations used in this study. In addition, ME significantly inhibited the activation of c-jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK). In conclusion, this study firstly demonstrated that ME of SBG has the potential to inhibit the osteoclast differentiation through the suppression of JNK activation partially.

Various theoretical studies of σ-bond activation of organic molecules by transition metal complexes arereviewed. In the homolytic σ-bond activation, the d orbital energy level of the central metal is an importantfactor, as well known. At the same time, the electron-withdrawing substituent which stabilizes the sp3 orbitalaccelerates the homolytic σ-bond activation. In the heterolytic C-H σ-bond activation of RH by $MXL_n$, the XHbond formation is an important driving force, where $MRL_n$ and HX are formed as products. The heterolytic σ-bond activation is also understood in terms of the electrophilic attack of the metal center to the substrate.

PEMFC(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells)는 초기 성능향상을 위해 활성화(Activation) 과정이 필수적이다. 제일 많이 사용되는 활성화 방법은 전압변화(부하변화) 방법으로 과잉으로 진행될 경우 전극 촉매 열화를 동반할 수 있다. 많은 활성화 과정에서 전압변화 범위를 0.4 V에서 OCV 까지 넓은 범위에서 활성화를 진행시키는데 전극 촉매 열화 방지와 활성화 시간을 단축시키기 위해 전압변화 범위를 감소시키는 연구가 필요하다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 활성화 전압범위를 0.4~0.6 V, 0.4~0.8 V, 0.4~OCV로 했을 때 성능과 전극, 고분자막의 특성 변화를 분석해 효과적인 활성화 방법을 연구개발하고자 하였다. 0.4 V에서 제일 높은 OCV 까지 전압 범위를 넓힌 활성화에서 성능 향상도 제일 낮고 56 사이클 활성화 했을 때 활성화 전보다 오히려 성능이 10% 감소했다. 0.4~0.6 V 활성화 사이클에 의해 성능이 최고 20%까지 제일 높게 향상되고 과잉 활성화에 의한 성능 감소도 제일 작아서 최적 임을 보였다.
