Composition of Acid Clay, the raw material for activated clay manufacturing, was investigated to develop useful data in deciding activation condition. Speculations on components and structure of activated clay were also made in order to see how included components of raw materials change during activation process. And a study was made on relations between structure of activated its adsorptivity. For this research, theremogravimetric analysis, X-ray differaction analysis and calculation of adsorptive index were carried out.

The activation energy of dissociative adsorption of oxygen on polycrystalline nickel surface is calculated from adsorption isotherms obtained using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Negative value of this activation energy (-5.9 kJ/mol) indicates that the adsorption takes place through an undissociated precursor state. An adsorption energy for this precursor state is calculated assuming the precursor state as a moleculary physisorbed state ($E_{ad}$ = -7.9 kJ/mol). Finally, an adsorption isotherm equation is derived as a function of the gas exposure, which agrees with the experimental isotherms reasonably good.

Fisher's discriminant method has been applied to the problem of the classification of Korean potsherds, using their elemental composition as analyzed by neutron activation analysis. A combination of analytical data by means of statistical linear discriminant analysis has resulted in removal of redundant variables, optimal linear combination of meaningful variables and formulation of classification rules.

We investigated the C-H bond activation mechanism of aldimine by the [RhCl$(PPH_3)_3$] model catalyst using DFT B3LYP//SBKJC/6-31G*/6-31G on GAMESS. Due to their potential utility in organic synthesis, C-H bond activation is one of the most active research fields in organic and organometallic chemistry. C-H bond activation by a transition metal catalyst can be classified into two types of mechanisms: direct C-H bond cleavage by the metal catalyst or a multi-step mechanism via a tetrahedral transition state. There are three structural isomers of [RhCl$(PH_3)_2$] coordinated aldimine that differ in the position of chloride with respect to the molecular plane. By comparing activation energies of the overall reaction pathways that the three isomeric structures follow in each mechanism, we found that the C-H bond activation of aldimine by the [RhCl$(PH_3)_3$] catalyst occurs through the tetrahedral intermediate.

In this study I report that in vitro development rates of bovine nuclear transfer embryos activated either with boar sperm cytosolic factor (SCF) or with ionomycin followed by cycloheximide (CHX) and subsequent in vivo developmental rates after embryo transfer are related to blastocyst quality as evaluated by apoptosis analysis. SCF was extracted from porcine semen then purified for post-activation injection after nuclear transfer. The optimal timing for SCF injection was determined to be at least 22 h post-IVM for parthenogenetic activation of bovine oocyies. A total of 364 oocytes were successfully enucleated and 268 (73.6%) fused and were injected with SCF. The survival rate of fused and injected embryos was 109/113 (96.5%) after 2 h. The cleavage rates of nuclear transfer embryos after 3 d of culture in the ionomycin/CHX treated group were significantly higher than those of the SCF-activated group (93.3% vs 81.7%, p<0.01, respectively). However, at 7 d and 9 d there was no significant difference between the total developmental rates to blastocyst for either treatment group. Total blastocyst cell numbers were also not significantly different between the two activation treatments (ionomycin/CHX: 149.5${\pm}$7.7 vs. SCF: 139.3${\pm}$4.4 cells). In contrast, the apoptotic levels in the SCF blastocysts were higher than those produced after the chemical treatment (28.2${\pm}$5.1% vs. 8.8${\pm}$0.6%, respectively). A total of 18 expanded or hatching blastocysts was transferred to nine synchronized recipients in each activation group; 5/9 (55.5%) and 2/9 (22.2%) were pregnant at 40 d in the ionomycin/CHX treatment and SCF activated group, respectively. However, only one went to term in the ionomycin/CHX treatment while none of the pregnancies from the SCF group were maintained by 90 d. In conclusion, these results suggest that SCF derived from different species is a limited activator to be used for activation after bovine nuclear transfer in lieu of a chemical activation protocol.

In a continuation of our previous studies on blood compatibility profiles of anion-substituted poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes, in which hydroxyl groups have been replaced with carboxymethyl (C-PVA) and sulfonyl groups (S-PVA), we have studied the activation of complement components and the changes in white cell and platelet count in vitro and compared them with those of unmodified PVA, Cuprophane, and low-density polyethylene. Complement activation of fluid phase components, C3a, Bb, iC3b, and SC5b-9, and of bound phases, C3c, C3d, and SC5b-9, were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot, respectively. The changes in the number of white cells and platelets following complement activation were counted using a Coulter counter. C-PVA and S-PVA activated C3 to a lesser extent than did PVA, which we attribute to the diminished level of surface nucleophiles of the samples. In addition, C- and S-PVA exhibit increased inhibition of Bb production, resulting in a decrease in the extent of C5 activation. Consequently, because of the reduced activation of C3 and C5, C- and S-PVA samples cause marked decreases in the SC5b-9 levels in plasma. We also found that the negatively charged sulfonate and carboxylate groups of the samples cause a greater extent of adsorbtion of the positively charged anaphylatoxins, C3a and C5a, because of strong electrostatic attraction, which in turn provides an inhibition of chemotaxis and activation of leukocytes. The ability to inhibit complement production, together with the binding ability of anaphylatoxins of the C- and S-PVA samples, leads to a prominent decrease in lysis of leukocytes as well as activation of platelets.

To produce activated carbon fibers, the process is carried out through either physical activation method or chemical activation method. In this study, we present the results regarding the characteristics of activated carbon fibers manufactured under various conditions through the quantitative control of steam. The yield after activation indicates a decreasing trend with the increase in steam quantity and activation time. Additionally, specific surface area characteristics exhibit variations based on activation time and steam flow rate. The SEM analysis results reveal that higher steam flow rates lead to the presence of both mesopores and macropores on the surface of activated carbon fibers (ACF).

Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted considerable attention as a promising candidate for next-generation power sources due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and eco-friendliness. However, the poor electrical conductivity of sulfur and its insoluble discharging products (Li₂S₂/Li₂S), large volume changes, severe self-discharge, and dissolution of lithium polysulfide intermediates result in rapid capacity fading, low Coulombic efficiency, and safety risks, hindering Li-S battery commercial development. In this study, a three-dimensionally (3D) connected hierarchical porous carbon framework (HPCF) derived from waste sunflower seed shells was synthesized as a sulfur host for Li-S batteries via a chemical activation method. The natural 3D connected structure of the HPCF, originating from the raw material, can effectively enhance the conductivity and accessibility of the electrolyte, accelerating the Li⁺/electron transfer. Additionally, the generated micropores of the HPCF, originated from the chemical activation process, can prevent polysulfide dissolution due to the limited space, thereby improving the electrochemical performance and cycling stability. The HPCF/S cell shows a superior capacity retention of 540 mA h g^-1 after 70 cycles at 0.1 C, and an excellent cycling stability at 2 C for 700 cycles. This study provides a potential biomass-derived material for low-cost long-life Li-S batteries.

다공성 탄소나노섬유의 아민 작용기에 따른 $CO_2$ 가스 감응특성을 고찰하고자, 아민작용기가 도입된 다공성 탄소나노섬유 기반 $CO_2$ 가스센서를 제조하였다. Polyacrylonitrile를 전구체로 하여 전기방사법을 통해 나노섬유를 제조하였으며, 열처리 및 화학적 활성화 공정, 그리고 Diethylenetriamine 액상처리법을 통하여 아민작용기가 도입된 다공성 탄소나노섬유를 제조하였다. BET 비표면적 분석결과, 화학적 활성화법에 의해 최대 $2000m^2/g$까지 탄소나노섬유의 비표면적이 향상됨을 확인하였으며, FT-IR 분광법을 통해 아민 작용기의 도입을 확인하였다. 아민 작용기가 도입된 가스센서의 $CO_2$ 가스 감응특성은 다공성 탄소섬유 기반 가스센서에 비해 약 4배 향상됨을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 화학적 활성화법에 의해 발달된 기공특성과 아민작용기 도입에 따른 화학흡착 유도에 의하여 감응특성이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.
