Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is an inducible enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the oxidative degradation of free heme into ferrous iron, carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin (BV), the latter being subsequently converted into bilirubin (BR). HO-1, once expressed during inflammation, forms high concentrations of its enzymatic by-products that can influence various biological events, and this expression is proven to be associated with the resolution of inflammation. The degradation of heme by HO-1 itself, the signaling actions of CO, the antioxidant properties of BV/BR, and the sequestration of ferrous iron by ferritin all concertedly contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of HO-1. This review focuses on the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of HO-1 actions and its roles in inflammatory diseases.

Electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power of the ferrous ferrite system of (Mg0.29-yMnyFe0.71)3-$\delta$O4 have been measured as function of the thermodynamic variables, cationic composition(y), temperature(T) and oxygen partial pressure(Po2) under thermodynamic equilibrium conditions at elevated temperatures. On the basis of the electrical properties-phase stability correlation, the stability regions of the ferrite spinel and its neighboring phases have been subsequently located in the log Po2 vs. y and log Po2 vs. 1/T planes in the ranges of 0 y 0.29, 1100 T/$^{\circ}C$ 1400 and 10-14 Po2/atm 1. The stability region, Δlog Po2(y, 1/T), of the ferrite spinel single phase widens with increasing Mn-content(y) and the boundaries of each region are linear against 1/T with negative slopes.

The optimum conditions was synthesized for the formation of Magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) by air bubbling with the suspensions obtained by mixing Ferrous sulfate ($FeSO_4\cdot 7H_2O$) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution in various values equivalent ratio($R=2NaOH/FeSO_4$) were studied. The changes of the structure were measured with XRD, $EM and BET. Equivalent ratio R: 0.65 was synthesized Goethite ($\alpha$-FeOOH), which becomes Maghemite ($\gamma=Fe_2O_3$) by dehydration, reduction and oxidation process. At the equivalent ratio over 1 (R>1), Magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) was synthesized directly. The oxygen-deficient Magnetite ($Fe_3O_{4-\delta}$), which is obtained by flowing $H_2$ gas(100 ml/min) through the synthesis Magnetite at 350$\circ$C for 4 hr. By using it, was researched the decomposition reaction of $CO_2$. $CO_2$ was decomposed nearly 100% in 45 minutes by the oxygen-deficient Magnetite.

Changes in the price of materials in construction projects is one of the important variables. Therefore, measures are necessary to respond to the demand and supply of materials and price instability. In previous studies, mainly of ready-mix concrete and steel beam analysis was carried out. However, a study of non-ferrous material prices are still insufficient. So, in this study, the researcher identified the causal relationship between the construction cost and non-ferrous materials prices. Construction Cost Index was selected as a proxy variable of construction cost.

Microstructure and tensile property in the weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) of austenitic Fe-Mn-Al-C low density steels were investigated through transmission electron microscopy analysis and tensile tests. The HAZ samples were prepared using Gleeble simulation with high heat input welding condition of 300 kJ/cm, and the HAZ peak temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$ was determined from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test. The strain- stress responses of base steels showed that the addition of V improved the tensile and yield strength by grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. Tensile strength and elongation decreased in the weld HAZ as compared to the base steel, due to grain growth, while V-added steel had a higher HAZ strength as compared than V-free steel.

Fricke dosimeter solution in chemical dosimeters consists of Ferrous sulfate, Sodium chloride and Sulfuric acid. Authors made a new experiment on the characteristics of dosimeter solution with Ammonium Thiocyanate and the results obtained were as follows; 1. The chemical oxidation response after irradiation was very rapid(within fifteen minutes). 2. A preventive measure of the spontaneous oxidation as time goes on was possible to use 0.1 mM instead of 1mM Ferrous sulfate solution. 3. 477nm in wavelength of spectrophotometer was most ideal to measure optical density in this solution

First-principles calculations were carried out to investigate the crystal stability and magnetism of $Fe_{16}C_2$ and $Fe_{16}C_2$. Our precise calculations show that the structure of high carbon phase is $Fe_{16}C_2$ and this structure is more stable in the ferromagnetic state than the nonmagnetic state. The Fe atoms induced negative magnetic moment at the C atoms, which interact with the nearest Fe atoms.

The objective of this study was to compare antioxidant effects of different extracts of Salicornia bigelovii seed. DPPH radical scavenging activity, chelating activity of ferrous, superoxide anion radical-scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid were measured for different extracts. Ethanol extract (10 mg/mL) was found to have the maximum DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide anion radical scavenging activities (65.26 and 62.36%, respectively). However, hot water extract (10 mg/mL) showed the highest hydroxyl radical scavenging and chelating activities (51.50 and 53.24%, respectively). Total phenolics and flavonoid contents in the ethanol extract were 522.8 and $480.35{\mu}g/mg$, respectively. They were 401.51 and $352.60{\mu}g/mg$, respectively, in the hot water extract. These results indicate that ethanol and hot water extracts of S. bigelovii seed have good potential to be used as a new source of antioxidants for functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

The origin of the variation of initial permeability in manganese-zinc ferrite polycrystals with a content of hematite was investigated. Initial permeability showed maximum with hematite content while there was no significant change in microstructure. Saturation magnetization increased with hematite content. So the variation of initial permeability was not explained on the basis of microstructural change or saturation magnetization. Temperature dependence of initial permeability revealed magnetocrystalline anisotropy was the origin of the variation of initial permeability. The change in magnetocrystalline anisotropy was ascribed to the variation in ferrous ion concentration. Therefore the variation of initial permeability in manganese-zinc ferrite polycrystals with a content of hematite was due to ferrous ion concentration via magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

Electropolishing is the controlled electrochemical removal of surface metal, resultmg in a brilliant appearance andimproved properties. Sometimes described as "reverse plating," the process has a leveling effect, which produces smoothnessand increased reflectivity. Unlike conventional mechanical finishing systems, the electropolishing does not smear, bend,stress or fracture the crystalline metal surface to achieve smoothness. Instead, electropolishing removes metal from thesurface producing a unidirectional pattern that is stress-free, microscopically smooth and often highly reflective. In addition,improved corrosion resistance and passivity are achieved on many ferrous and some non-ferrous alloys. Pure aluminium doesnot electropolish well, if at all, but most other alloys of aluminum electropolish excellently.Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of electropolishing aluminium alloy in term of currentdensity, machining time, temperature, electrode gap and workpiece surface measurementkpiece surface measurement
