An antibacterial component was isolated from the roots of evening primrose(Oenothera odorata Jacquin). The component was purified by repeated preparative TLC of the chloroform-extract with solvent system of toluene(7):ethyl acetate(4):formic acid(O.8). NMR spectrum indicated that it is a steroid compound containing radical(-C=C-C=0) and aromatic structures. Its antibacterial activity against strains of the genus Streptococcus was relatively high, the MIC value was 50 acccording to the Hoechst Manual-345, as compared with the other genera such as Staphylococcus and Escherichia.

Ionic liquids are considered as a promising, alternative solvent for the electrochemical synthesis of metals because of their high thermal and chemical stability, relatively high ionic conductivity, and wide electrochemical window. In particular, their wide electrochemical window enables the electrodeposition of metals without any side reaction of electrolytes such as hydrogen evolution. The electrodeposition of silver is conducted in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) ionic liquid system with a silver source of AgCl. This study is the first attempt to electrodeposit silver nanoparticles without using co-solvents other than [C4mim]Cl. Pulse electrolysis is employed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by varying applied potentials from -3.0 V to -4.5 V (vs. Pt-quasi reference electrode) and pulse duration from 0.1 s to 0.7 s. Accordingly, the silver nanoparticles whose size ranges from 15 nm to ~100 nm are obtained. The successful preparation of silver nanoparticles is demonstrated regardless of the kinds of substrate including aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon paper in the pulse electrolysis. Finally, the antimicrobial property of electrodeposited silver nanoparticles is confirmed by an antimicrobial test using Staphylococcus aureus.

In the mixed system of supercritical carbon dioxide/organic solvents, poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) film of high degree of hydrolysis could be dyed with a dichroic dye of C. I. direct black 22(DB22) and as a result, high durability was obtained. Especially, as a dye dispersant in a supercritical fluid phase, a mixed solvent system of ethylene glycol: dimethyl sulfoxide=4 : 6 weight ratio was investigated. Then the optimum pressure for dyeing could be reduced down to 200 bar. Using this supercritical fluid system, the maximum dyeing appeared as the transmittance of less than 1% and the waste amount was reduced to the level of 1/10. After 500% drawing of this PVA film, both the polarizing efficiency of 94% and the single piece transmittance of 30% were obtained. The limitation of DB22 and further improvements were also discussed.

In this paper, an optical dosimetric system for radiation dose measurement is developed and characterized for 100 MeV proton beams in KOMAC(Korea Multi-Purpose Accelerator Complex). The system consists of 10 wt% Ultima GoldTM liquid organic scintillator in the ethanol, a camera lens(50 mm / f1.8), and a high sensitivity CMOS(complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) camera (ASI120MM, ZWO Co.). The FOV(field of view) of the system is designed to be 150 mm at a distance of 2 m. This system showed sufficient linearity in the range of 1~40 Gy for the 100 MeV proton beams in KOMAC. We also successfully got the percentage depth dose and the isodose curves of the 100 MeV proton beams from the captured images. Because the solvent is not a human tissue equivalent material, we can not directly measure the absorbed dose of the human body. Through this study, we have established the optical dosimetric procedure and propose a new volume dose assessment method.

The complex $cis-[Co(13-aneN_4)(N_3)_2]Cl\cdot H_2O$ (1) (13-ane$N_4$ = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystalloaraphy. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system Pbca, a = 7.8282(4) ${\AA}$, b = 14.3197(7) ${\AA}$, c = 29.9021(15) ${\AA}$, V = 3351.9(3) ${\AA}^3$, Z = 8. The cobalt(III) ion in 1 is coordinated to four nitrogen atoms from the macrocycle and two azide ligands of cis position in a distorted octahedral environment, which forms the 1D polymer through hydrogen bonding contacts involving the cation, chloride anion and solvent water molecules.

Factors affecting the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of camptothecin(CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin(HCPT) from the dried powder of Cmptotheca acuminata were studied. Only a few amount of CPT and HCPT was extracted with pure supercritical carbon dioxide. Methanol and ethanol were efficient modifiers to extract CPT and HCPT. At $40^{\circ}C$, 250 bar, 1 mL/min flow rate, 41% of CPT and 35% of HCPT were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide modified with 16% of methanol. The diffusion effect of HCPT on extraction efficiency was studied in this solid-fluid system. Round matrix hot-ball model assumption revealed that the value of D/$r^2$ was 0.0072 $min^{-1}$ which was higher than that of solvent extraction with methanol.

Factor analysis was applied to X-ray diffraction patterns of the precursor of $BaTiO_3$. For that purpose, the precursor was synthesized in water solvent system using $Ba(NO_3)_2$ and $TiO(NO_3)_2$ as the starting materials and calcined at various temperatures. The samples obtained from the various calcined temperatures were analyzed by the X-ray diffractometer. Factor analysis was applied to the intensity data of the X-ray diffraction patterns. As the results, three factors were found and they were found to be $BaCO_3$, $BaTiO_3$ and $Ba_2TiO_4$. The relative concentrations of the three components were estimated during calcination.

In this study, porous ZnO sphere and Cu-ZnO composite were synthesized by coprecipitation method in diethylene glycol solvent. The physicochemical properties of as-prepared composite materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, $N_2$-sorption and $H_2$-TPR. A series of porous Cu-ZnO with different Cu contents (0, 6.6, 21.3, 36.4, 54.6, 77.8 wt%) was investigated for CO oxidation activity in a fixed bed reactor system. With increasing Cu content in Cu-ZnO the surface area and micropore volume of Cu-ZnO are decreased and Cu (36.4 wt%)-ZnO shows higher activity for CO oxidation compared to the others.

N-Benzoyl-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester(BzAPM), a novel aspartame precursor, was investigated for its enzymatic synthesis by immobilized thermolysin using a water-miscible organic solvent system. The substrate used were N-benzoyl-L-aspartic acid(BzAsp) and L-phenylalanine methyl ester (PheOMe). Synthetic conditions such as substrates concentration, temperature, pH, and some metallic ions were varied to study their effects on BzAPM synthesis. The synthetic reaction rate increased linearly as the PheOMe concentration increased at a constant concentration of BzAsp(100 mM), and the maximum reaction rate was obtained at BzAsp concentration of 200 mM when 300 mM PheOMe was used. The optimum pH and temperature were found to be 6.1 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The metallic ions such as $Zn^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ at 5 mM level showed inhibitory effect on BzAPM synthesis, while $Co^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ ion increased synthesis. $Co^{2+}$ ion was also found to have synergistic effect with $Ca^{2+}$ ion. Benzoic acid, L-phenylalanin and NaCl showed inhibitory effect.

We made 8 wt% silica dispersion system with fumed silica and photo curable acrylic monomer by beads mill process. These dispersions could be applied in organic/inorganic hybrid coating systems. These dispersions could be applied in organic/inorganic hybrid coating systems. The 4 species of photo curable acrylic monomer which was presence of hydroxyl group, different solubility parameter, and different molecular size were used in the silica dispersions. Stability of polar solvent, isopropyl alcohol, in silica dispersions was investigated. We investigated the stability of silica dispersions by using steady-state and dynamic rheology. As the monomer has hydroxyl group increased in mono and binary monomer silica dispersions, they showed non flocculated stable sol (loss modulus (G")> storage modulus (G')). When polar solvent IPA was added into slightly flocculated silica dispersions, they changed to non flocculated stable sol.
