In this study, an experimental apparatus has been designed and set up to analyze the dissociating phenomena of hydrate in porous rock. Experiments with the depressurization scheme have been carried out to investigate the dissociation characteristics of methane hydrates and the productivities of dissociated gas and water. From the experiments, it has been provided a determination of volume of gas produced and the progress of the dissociation front, as a function of time when hydrate is depressurized. Also, it has been investigated the flowing behavior of the dissociated gas and water in porous rock and the efficiency of the production

In this study, the effects of thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors on hydrate formation and dissociation behaviors were identified. The nucleation and growth of CP hydrate in the presence of methanol were monitored by optical microscope. Cyclopentane was used to demonstrate the oil phase in the pipeline in this study. Hydrate morphology, required time for hydrate formation, hydrate dissociation temperature were also identified by experiments. With the addition of methanol in water solution, the hydrate nucleation as well as hydrate growth were delayed. Moreover, hydrate morphology was also varied with the addition of methanol. Hydrate formation and dissociation temperature also decrease as the concentration of methanol increases.

The dissociation of excitons bounds to neutral accepter in CdTe single crystal was investigated by measurement of temperature dependence of the photoluminescence spectra. The binding energies of CdTe single crystal were determined by PL spectrum at 12K. The free exciton (X) binding energy, the exciton binding energy on neutral donor ($D^{\circ}$, X), and the exciton binding energy on neutral acceptor ($A^{\circ}$, X) were 10 meV, 3.49 meV, and 7.17 meV respectively. From the value of activation energy of ($A^{\circ}$, X), we could show that the dissociation of ($A^{\circ}$, X) is attributed to free exciton.

Low-pressure fluorocarbon plasmas are widely used in microelectronics fabrication for a variety of surface modification purposes. In particular, fluorocarbon plasmas are used for the etching of dielectrics such as silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. Among the various fluorocarbons, this study focuses on C4F6 molecules (C4F6s) which are composed of hexafluorocyclobutene (c-C4F6), hexafluoro-1, 3-butadiene (1, 3-C4F6), and hexafluoro-2-butyne (2-C4F6). We have investigated the dissociation reactions of C4F6s, resulting in CF2, CF3, C2F3, and C3F3 fragments, by using the wB97X-D functional with various basis sets. In this presentation, the geometrical properties, energetics, and dissociation mechanisms of C4F6s will be suggested.

This study demonstrated the sensitivity of electron capture dissociation mass spectrometry (ECD-MS) to probe subtle conformational changes in gaseous melittin ions induced by the substitution of an amino acid. ECD-MS was performed for triply and quadruply-protonated melittin and its variants obtained by a single amino acid substitution, namely, D-Pro14, Pro14Ala, and Leu13Ala. Although native triply-protonted melittin showed only a few peptide backbone cleavage products, the D-Pro14 and Pro14Ala variants exhibited extensive backbone fragments, suggesting the occurrence of a significant structural or conformational change induced by a single amino acid substitution at Pro14. On the contrary, the substitution at Leu13, namely Leu13Ala (+3), did not cause significant changes in the ECD backbone fragmentation pattern. Thus, the sensitivity of ECD-MS is demonstrated to be good enough to probe the aforementioned conformational change in melittin.

In the present study, collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD) experiments were performed under low energy collision conditions in six peptides containing a disulfide bond. Fragments produced as a result of the cleavage of a disulfide bond were obtained after CAD in four peptides (bactenecin, TGF-$\alpha$, cortistantin, and linearly linked peptide, Scheme 1) with basic amino acid residues. In contrast, the CAD analysis of two peptides with no basic residue (oxytocin and tocinoic acid) rarely produced fragments indicative of cleavage of a disulfide bond. These results are consistent with the mobile proton model suggested by the McLuckey and O'air groups (ref. 22 and 23); nonmobile protons sequestered at basic amino acid residues appear to promote the cleavage of disulfide bonds.

Traumatic scapulothoracic dissocation is a rare upper extremity injury caused by massive traction or blunt trauma. Most cases are associated with a large spectrum of concomitant injuries, including severe musculoskeletal injuries and neurovascular injuries around the shoulder. But, it occurs without damaging overlying skin as a closed injury rather than an open injury. We present a case of open scapulothoracic dissociation and describe clinical features with literature review.

The potential energy surface (PES) for the dissociation of the 2-hydroxypyridine (2-HP) radical cation was determined from G3//B3LYP calculations, including the loss of CO, HCN, and HNC. The formation of the 1H-pyrrole radical cation by decarbonylation through a more stable tautomer, the 2-pyridone (2-PY) radical cation, was the most favorable dissociation pathway. Kinetic analysis by the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus model calculations was carried out based on the obtained PES. It is proposed that the dissociation occurs after a rapid tautomerization to 2-$PY^{{\cdot}+}$, and that most of the ions generated by ionization of 2-HP have the structure of 2-$PY^{{\cdot}+}$ at equilibrium above the tautomerization barrier.

The acid dissociation constants of certain Schiff bases derived from isatin with p-substituted benzoyl hydrazines and somee amino acids of glycine, $\beta$-and $\alpha$-alanine, valine, $\beta$-phenyl-$\alpha$-alanine and anthranilic acid have been detemined potentiometrically at different temperatures in different aquo-organic solvent mixtures (ethnol, dioxane, dimethyl formamide, methanol, acetone and tetrahydrofurance). The pKa values were demonstrated on the light of the different electornic and steric effects of the substituents and the sovlent characteristics. In all the mixed media used, ionization of the compounds decreased by increasing the mole fraction of the organic cosolvent. Theemodynamic parameters $(\Delta{H}^\circ,\;\Delta{G}^\circ,\;\Delta{S}^\circ)$ were evaluated. The structural effects of the investigated compounds on these parameters were reported and discussed.

The dissociation constants of dibasic carboxylic acids $(HOOC(CH_2)_nCOOH$, n = 0~4] in methanol, N, N-dimethylformamide and acetonitrile have been determined by the potentiometric method with a glass electrode. The difference between over-all dissociation constants in each other solvent is found to be of the same order of magnitude, and the $K_1/K_2$ ratios in aprotic dimethylformamide and acetonitrile are much greater than those in protic methanol and water.
