It has been known that there is "dark gas" invisible either in 21-cm HI or 2.6-mm CO emission which are general tracers of atomic and molecular gas, respectively. Many researchers consider that the dark gas is "Dark Molecular Gas (DMG)" composed of CO-free $H_2$ in the intermediate zone between atomic and full-fledged molecular gas and that HCO+ and OH molecules are good tracers of the DMG since they can form in much lower $H_2$ column densities where CO does not. We have carried out HCO+ J=1-0 absorption observations toward nine bright extragalactic radio continuum sources using the KVN 21-m telescopes as single dishes. We detected HCO+ absorption lines toward two sources. We derive HCO+ and $H_2$ column densities or their limits, and discuss the implications of our results.

Changes occurring in jute and coir fiber composites with 2-8% concentration of a NaOH treatment for 24 h were investigated, respectively, for void content, microscopy images, mechanical properties and water absorption. The jute and coir fibers were vacuum dried before molding composite specimens. Mechanical properties indicated good adhesion between natural fibers and PP. Jute fibers, when alkali-treated with 2% concentration for 24 h, showed best improvement in tensile strength by 40% and modulus by 9%, respectively, while coir fibers, when alkali-treated with 6% concentration for 24 h, showed best improvement in tensile strengths by 62% and modulus by 17%, respectively. With 2% concentration of alkali-treatments, the elongation of jute and coir composites reached 8% and 13.5%, respectively. Moisture absorption for jute and coir composites are 50% and 60% lower than untreated fiber composites, respectively.

Si(100) surfaces were exposed to gas-phase thermal-energy hydrogen atoms, H(g). We find that thermal H(g) atoms etch, amorphize, or penetrate into the crystalline silicon substrate, depending on the employed Ts range during the H(g) exposure. We find that etching is enhanced as Ts is lowered in the 300-700K range, while amorphous silicon hydride (a-Si:H) formation dominates at a Ts below 300K. This result was well explained by the fact that formation of the etching precursor, SiHx(a), and amorphization are both facilitated by a lower Ts, whereas the final step for etching, SiH3(a) + H(g) longrightarrow SiH3(g), is suppressed at a lower Ts. we also find that direct absorption of H(g) by the crystalline bulk of Si(100) substrate occurs within a narrow Ts window of 420-530K. The bulk-absorbed hydrogen evolved out molecularly from Si(100) at a Ts 80-120K higher than that for surface monohydride phase ($\beta$1) in temperature-programmed desorption. This bulk-phase H uptake increased with increasing H(g) exposure without saturation within our experimental limits. Direct absorption of H(g) into the bulk lattice occurs only when the surface is atomically roughened by surface etching. While pre-adsorbed hydrogen atoms on the surface, H(a), were readily abstracted and replaced by D(g), the H atoms previously absorbed in the crystalline bulk were also nearly all depleted, albeit at a much lower rate, by a subsequent D(g) at the peak temperature in TPD from the substrate sequentially treated with H(g) and D(g), together with a gas phase-like H2 Raman frequency of 4160cm-1, will be presented.

After oral administration of various drinking solutions, the initial absorption rate of water through gastrointestinal tract of the rabbits was evaluated using tritinated water $(^3H_2O)$ as a marker to develop the sports drinking beverage for Korean people. The polynomial curve fitting over 20 min was performed using computer program to obtain the initial absorption rate of water from the tangent line of the fitted equation because initial absorption rate of water was more critical compared to elimination rate during exercise. The amount of water absorbed was increased but a large variation was observed among testing preparations in a small study group $(2{\leq}n{\leq}6)$. The initial absorption rate of water from isotonic sports drinking beverages was statistically significant when compared to hypertonic cola but was not significant when compared to hypotonic solutions (potable water and barley water). In case of hypertonic sports dringking beverages (i.e. Takeda), initial absorption rate of water was not improved and efficient when compared to other isotonic sports dringking beverages. The initial absorption rate of water from prescribed isotonic sample solution containing electrolytes, carbohydrates, and vitamins was not statistically significant when compared to other isotonic drinking beverages but showed similar absorption profile. It was obvious that isotonic solutions simultaneously containing electrolytes, vitamins and carbohydrates (sugar and glucose) had a tendency to increase the initial absorption of water compared to hypotonic (potable water and barley water) and hypertonic preparations (orange juice and cola). Although statistical significance of initial absorption rate of water between isotonic sports drinking beverages and hypotonic potable and barley water was not observed, unlike the hypertonic solutions, isotonic sports drinking beverages may aid not only to replenish loss of water, electrolytes and other nutrients during the exercise but also to prevent dehydration and muscle fatigue, resulting in improved physical performance in an exhausted condition.

Inclusion complexes of ketoconazole(KT) with ${\alpha}^_$, ${\beta}^_$cyclodextrin(CD) and $dimethy1-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ (CD) and $dimethy1-{\beta}-cyclodextrin(DM{\beta}CD)$ as nasal absorption enhancer were prepared in 1: 2 molar ratios by freeze-drying and solvent evaporation methods. In order to compare with the intrinsic absorptivity of KT in the jejunum(J) and the nasal cavity(N), the in situ simultaneous perfusion method was employed. The in situ recirculation study revealed that KT-CD inclusion complexes with the greater stability constant and the faster dissolution rate proportionally increased the absorption of KT in the J and N of rats. The rank order of apparent KT permeability$(P_{app}\;:\;cm/sec\;{\time}\;1O^{-5}{\pm}S.E.)$, corrected by surface area of absorption, was $5.10{\pm}0.3(N,\; KT-DM{\beta}CD)$ )> $4.13{\pm}0.4(N,\;KT-{\beta}-CD)$ )> $3.52{\pm}0.2(N,\;KT-{\alpha}-CD)$ )> $2.76{\pm}0.3(J,\; KT-DM{\beta}CD)$ )> $2.61{\pm}0.5(J,\;KT-{\beta}-CD)$ )> $2.42{\pm}0.4(J,\;KT-{\alpha}-CD)$ at pH 4.0. The in crease in permeability of $KT-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex was 2.6 folds in the J and 4.5 folds in the N when the perfusing solution was changed from the buffer(pH 4.0) to saline. The absorption rate of $KT-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex after nasal administration was more rapid than those of ketoconazole alone and $KT-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex after oral administration to rats. In comparision with an oral administration of ketoconazole suspension in corn oil, the relative bioavailability was calculated 137.3% for the oral and 195.0% for nasal $KT-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex in rats. The present results suggest that $KT-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex may serve as a potential nasal absorption enhancer for the nasal delivery of ketoconazole.

Convective instability driven by surface tension is analyzed in an initially quiescent water absorbing ammonia gas with heat transfer using the linear stability analysis. The propagation theory is adapted to find the critical conditions of the onset of Marangoni convection. In this theory, the solutal penetration depth is chosen as the length scale factor. The results show that the liquid layer becomes more stable with decreasing the Schmidt number and increasing the Lewis number. It is also found that there is a critical Biot number to make the liquid layer be most unstable, and there is a linear relationship between the thor-mal Marangoni number and the solutal Marangoni number.

Maxwell displacement current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of fatty acid. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about $130{\AA}^2$. MDCs were investigated in connection with monolayer compression cycles. It was found that the current pulses were generated over the entire range of molecular area, and the maximum of MDC appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles. We investigated the change in absorption spectra of the fatty acid(8A5H) monolayer LB film due to cis-trans photoisomerization. It was found that the absorption spectrum of the 8A5H LB film was induce to photoisomerization by alternate irradiation with UV and visible light irradiation.

Convective instability driven by surface tension is analyzed in an initially quiescent water absorbing ammonia gas using the linear stability theory. The propagation theory is adapated to find the critical conditions of the onset of solutal Maragoni convection. In this theory, the solutal penetration depth is chosen as the length scale factor. The results show that the liquid layer becomes more stable with decreasing the Schmidt number It is interesting that for a smaller Biot number than 100, the system becomes stable with decreasing Bi but for a larger Bi, it becomes unstable with decreasing Bi.

Performance analysis of an absorption heat pump system for solar energy recovery has been done by computer simulation to find improved working pairs. Based on the thermodynamic analysis, the coefficient of performance and mass flow ratio have been calculated to compare two aqueous solutions [LiCl-water, $LiCi-CaCl_2-Zn(NO_3)_2$-water] which were developed for cooling by others, with the conventional LiBr-water solution. As a result of this analysis, the performances of the new aqueous solutions were found to be better than that of LiBr-water solution not only in cooling systems, but also in heating and in heat transformer systems. Their theoretical thermodynamic performance data were given here with.

We report the electronic structure of CoFeO-R (R=Hf, La, Nb) thin films studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). These ferrites thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition method and characterized by XAS measurements at O K-, Co and Fe L-edges. The O K-edge spectra suggest that there is a strong hybridization between O 2p and 3d electrons of transition metal cations and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edge spectra indicate that Fe-ions exist in $Fe^{2+}$ with tetrahedral site of the spinel structure. Divalent Co ions is also distributed in tetrahedral site with rare earth ions goes to octahedral sites of spinel structure. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is also used to explain the symmetry and magnetic nature dependence on rare-earth ions.
