Silica based Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLC) have been applied to various kinds of wave-guided optical passive devices. SiO$_2$ (buffer) and GeO$_2$-SiO$_2$ (core) thick films have been deposited by Flame Hydrolysis Deposition (FHD). The SiO$_2$ films were produced by the flame hydrolysis reaction of halide materials such as SiCl$_4$, POCl$_3$ and BCl$_3$ into an oxy-hydrogen torch. The P concentration increased from 2.0 to 2.8 at％ on increasing the POCl$_3$/BCl$_3$ flow ratio. The refractive index increased from 1.4584 to 1.4605 on increasing the POC1$_3$/BC1$_3$ flow ratio from 0.6 to 2.6. The refractive index of GeO$_2$-SiO$_2$ films was controlled by the GeCl$_4$ flow rate. The refractive index increased from 1.4615 to 1.4809 on increasing the GeCl$_4$ flow rate from 30 to 120 sccm.

The hydrolysis of $\alpha-benzoxystyrene(1)$ in strong acidic solution has been investigated kinetically. In perchloric acid concentration lower than 5.5 M($H_o$ < -3.0), hydration paramer $\omega$ = + 7.6, and $\Phi$ = + 0.54 were obtained. The solvent isotope effect $k_{H_2O}/K_{D_2O}$ is 0.72. The substituent effect was found to conform to the Hammett $\sigma^+$ constant with $\rho$ = -0.60. On the basis of these results and other evidence, the hydrolysis of the enol ester proceeds by $A_{AL}$2 type mechanism. In concentration greater than 5.5 M($H_o$ > -3.0), isotope effect, $k_{H_2O}/_{D_2O}$ is 3.32, substituent effect, $\rho$ is -1.60 and the rate is linear with the acidity function, $H_o$. Thus, the mechanism changes one involving initial, and rate-determining olefin protonation.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the substrate specificity, the hydrolysis products on the various carbohydrates and the hydrolysis rate on the various raw starches of the two purified glucoamylase produced by Rhizopus oryzae. Both of the glucoamylases hydrolyzed amylose, amylopectin, glycogen, soluble starch, pullulan, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose and maltooctaose, but did not act on ${\alpha}-cyclodextrin$, ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$, raffinose, sucrose and lactose. When the reaction mixture of glucoamylase and polysaccharides were incubated $37^{\circ}C$for 32 hours, glucoamylase I hydrolyzed amylopectin, soluble starch and amyloses completely, but hydrolyzing glycogen up to only about 88%. Glucoamylase II hydrolyzed the previous four polysaccharides up to about 100%. Both of the glucoamylases produced only glucose for various substrates and did not have any ${\alpha}-glucosyl$ transferase activity. Both of the glucoamylases hydrolyzed raw glutinous rice starch almost complety, wheras they acted on raw potato starch, raw green banana starch, raw arrow root starch, raw corn starch, raw yam starch and raw high amylose corn starch weakly. Glucoamylase II hydrolyzed raw starches at the higher rate than glucoamylase I.

Nanofiltration was performed with polyaluminium chloride solutions at different pH conditions to understand effects of inorganic compounds on aluminum hydrolysis products, i.e., three distinctive groups of aluminum species: polymeric Al at low pH; $Al(OH)_3$ at neutral pH; and ${Al(OH)_4}^-$ at high pH. The PACl solution was prepared to be approximately 4.0mM and adjusted to the designated pH. The influence of inorganic compounds on Al species fouling was investigated with 4.9mM $CaCl_2$ and 3.5mM $MgSO_4$ because $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ are the most common inorganics in the drinking water. NF membrane fouling was measured by flux decline rate. The impact of $CaCl_2$ was not significant on the individual Al hydrolysis products fouling. However, the flux decline rate was drastically changed in the presence of $MgSO_4$. The concentration of particulate matters was considerably increased possibly due to interaction between Al species and ${SO_4}^{2-}$ where $MgSO_4$ was introduced. The particulates were accumulated on the membrane and enhanced the hydraulic resistance of the cake layer. In addition, conductivity removal of the membrane was decreased when Al-hydroxide was dominant due to reduction of membrane surface charge. The rejection of $Ca^{2+}$and $Mg^{2+}$ were considerably different, which implys that composition of inorganics paly a role on conductivity removal.

Astragalin (AS), kaempferol monoglycoside, is classified as a polyphenol, and a minute quantity of AS is known to be present in several plants. Recently, it was reported that AS can be prepared by the partial hydrolysis of camelliaside A (CamA) and camelliaside B (CamB) in the tea seed extract (TSE) in the presence of a commercial enzyme complex such as Mash. In this paper, the effects of reaction temperature, amount of enzyme, and the substrate concentration on the reactivity were investigated. As the reaction temperature or the amount of enzyme increased, the reaction rate to produce AS increased, however, the hydrolysis of AS into KR was also enhanced. As a conclusion, the reaction, when 2 mL of Mash to 1 g of TSE was applied with a substrate concentration of 15% at $50^{\circ}C$, was found to be optimum, based on the reaction rate and the selectivity to AS.

Chelates synthesized with Cu(II) ion and lactic acid or chitosan were applied to the hydrolysis of organophosphate simulant, DFP (diisopropyl fluorophosphate). Under the homogeneous reaction condition, Cu(II)-lactic acid chelate hydrolyzed DFP with the half life time of 37.1 min. Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan chelate was synthesized with 1 kDa molecular weight of chitosan, which showed low solubility, and then crystallized. The half life time for hydrolyzing DFP using Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan was 32.9 h indicating that the reaction rate is enhanced as much as 16 times more than that of using 18 kDa chitosan-Cu(II) complex. Under the homogeneous reaction condition, the half life time of Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan was 8.75 h. Therefore, we found out that the solubility of Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan makes the difference in the reaction rate as much as 4 times.

The kinetics of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a series of 1-aryl-2-pyrrylideneaniline (3) have been studied in 20% MeOH solution using UV spectrophotometer. Substituents in 3 showed a relatively small effect, with hydrolysis facilitated by electron withdrawing group. By obtaing linear plots of $log k_{obs}$ against Hammett ${\sigma}$ constants, it was able to show that substituents had a considerable contribution to the aromaticity of pyrrole compounds. The small positive ${\rho}$ values were consistent with the rate-determining addition of water to the protonated schiff base in the buffer solution of pH 4 to 8, whereas the addition of water to the free imine seemed to be the rate-determining in the solution of acidities greater than pH 8.

Two species(Quercus mongolica, populus euramericana) of hardwood chips were subjected to steam explosion 25 kg/$cm^2$, for 6 min. The exploded woods were treated by the single or multi-stage chemical process with sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite and sodium chlorite. The multi-stage treatment of exploded wood can be successfully removed lignin. Enzymatic hydrolysis rate of substrate varied from 25% for exploded wood to about 80% for the multi-chemical treated exploded wood. The enzymatic susceptibility was different among wood species. The multi chemical treatment of the exploded wood resulted in the high rate of glucose in the enzymatic hydrolyzate. Cellulase adsorption increased at high lignin content of substrates, while crystallinity, pore area and specific surface area of substrates did not affected enzyme adsorption. According to the proposed pretreatment and saccharification process in this study, it can be acquired about 37~40 kg of glucose from 100 kg of hardwood.

Second-order rate constants ($k_{OH^-}$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for reactions of Y-substituted phenyl phenyl thionocarbonates (4a-i) with $OH^-$ in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The $k_{OH^-}$ values for the reactions of 4a-i have been compared with those reported previously for the corresponding reactions of Y-substituted phenyl phenyl carbonates (3a-i) to investigate the effect of changing the electrophilic center from C=O to C=S on reactivity and mechanism. Thionocarbonates 4a-i are less reactive than the corresponding carbonates 3a-i although 4a-i are expected to be more reactive than 3a-i. The Bronsted-type plot for reactions of 4a-i is linear with $\beta_{lg}$ = -0.33, a typical $\beta_{lg}$ value for reactions reported to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with formation of an intermediate being the rate-determining step (RDS). Furthermore, the Hammett plot correlated with $\sigma^o$ constants results in much better linearity than that correlated with $\sigma^-$ constants, indicating that expulsion of the leaving group is not advanced in the RDS. Thus, alkaline hydrolysis of 4a-i has been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with formation of an intermediate being RDS, which is in contrast to the forced concerted mechanism reported for the corresponding reactions of 3a-i. Enhanced stability of the intermediate upon modification of the electrophilic center from C=O to C=S has been concluded to be responsible for the contrasting mechanisms.

Acid- and enzymatic hydrolysis properties of two fructans(inulin and levan) and their oligofructoses has been investigated. At pH 1, the initial fructose release rate differs and is rapidly hydrolyzed in the order of levan oligosaccharide and inulin oligosaccharide, levan, inulin. At pH 4.5, 7 and 14, no or little amount of fructose are found from four samples. At the presence of inulinase in the reaction mixture, the fructose is rapidly produced from all samples, whilst invertase treatments show low activities. The results allow the estimation of the fructose release rate in many foodstuff processing conditions.
