There have been a lot of works in order to develop an excellent adsorbent for separation of olefin and paraffin. In the present work, the adsorption characteristics of mesoporous MCM-41 containing silver ion for 1-butene and n-butane were studied. The adsorption ability for the 1-butene depending on thermal treatment were also investigated.MCM-41 exhibits much higher adsorption amounts for 1-butene as well as n-butane, compared to those of Ag/13X zeolite. In case of MCM-41 containing silver ion, the adsorption amount of 1-butene dramatically increased due to the ${\pi}$-complexation, whereas the adsorption amount of n-butane decrease. The Ag/MCM-41 after the thermal treatment at 373 K under evacuation exhibit the highest 1-butene/n-butane adsorption ratio, expecially at low pressure (100 Torr).

Two chitosanases produced by Aspergillus fumigatus KB-1 were purified by ion exchange and size exclusion chromatographies. Molecular weights of chitosanases were 111.23 kDa (chitosanase I) and 23.38 kDa (chitosanase II). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of chitosanase II was determined as follows: YNLPNNLKQIYDKHKGKXSXVLAKGFTN. The optimum pH of the chitosanase I and II was 6.5 and 5.5, respectively. The optimum temperatures were $60^{\circ}C$ for chitosanase land $70^{\circ}C$ for chitosanase II. Hydrolysis products of two chitosanases were analyzed by HPLC and GPC. Chitosanase I hydrolyzed substrate to glucosamine. Chitosanase II produced chitooligosaccharides.

The thermal behavior of lithiated Si anodes has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In particular, the effect of Si particle size on the thermal stability of a fully lithiated Si electrode was investigated. For DSC measurements, a lithiated Si anode was heated in a hermetically sealed high-pressure pan with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder and a 1 M $LiPF_6$ solution in an ethylene carbonate (EC)-diethyl carbonate (DEC) mixture. The thermal evolution around $140^{\circ}C$ increases with lithiation and with decreasing particle size; this phenomenon is attributed to the thermal decomposition of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. Exothermic peaks, following a broad peak at around $140^{\circ}C$, shift to a lower temperature with a decrease in particle size, indicating that the thermal stability of the lithiated Si electrode strongly depends on the Si particle size.

Extract of water-soluble polysaccharide (CFWx), showing inhibiting activity on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, was prepared from the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris by hot-water extraction, and ethanol precipitation. Chemical characteristics of CFWx were as follows: carbohydrate content 30% including 16% of uronic acid; 51% protein content; monosaccharide composition, Man:Glu:Gal (30:43:27); molecular weight $3-5{\times}10^4$. CFWx was further purified by ion-exchange, gel-permeation, and affinity chromatography and $CFWx-AH-{\alpha}$ fraction was isolated. Fundamental structure of $CFWx-AH-{\alpha}$ was deduced as ${\alpha}-(1{\to}4$)-D-glucan with ${\alpha}-(1{\to}3$)- and/or ${\alpha}-(1{\to}6$)-D-glycosidic side chains based on methylation analysis.

This study was carried out to develop an accurate and rapid analysis method to measure the contents of iodide and chloride in infant formula using an ion selectivity electrode. The infant formula SRM 1846 (Standard Reference Material 1846, NIST, USA) was used as a CRM (Certified reference material). Samples were dissolved in water with 3% acetic acid and filtered through filter paper and adjusted to pH 7.0 with 0.1N NaOH. At pH 7.0, the iodide content of the CRM was $1.04{\pm}0.03\;mg/kg$ compared to the specification of $1.11{\pm}0.1\;mg/kg$ of CRM, and the recovery was $93.7{\pm}2.7%$. The chloride content was $5114.3{\pm}240\;mg/kg$ compared to the specification of $4,920{\pm}300mg/kg$ of CRM, and the recovery was $103.9{\pm}4.9%$. Ion selectivity electrodes could be successful1y used to determine the concentration of iodide and chloride ions in infant formula by a simple and rapid pretreatment of sample matrixes.

We have studied electronic structures and magnetic properties of $YMnO_3,\;ScManO_3$ with hexagonal structure using Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FLAPW) method based on LSDA method. LSDA calculation results show that multiferroic $YMnO_3$ shows energy gap due to hexagonal symmetry and magnetic interaction. Because of insulating gap and small Y ion, $YMnO_3$ shows magnetic and ferroelectric state. However, $ScMnO_3$ does not show the energy gap because of strong hybridization of Mn-O for LSDA calculation. We confirmed the stability of multiferroic state for $YMnO_3\;and\;ScManO_3$ using total energy calculations. The antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric states have the lowest energy about 100 meV.

Silicon Charge Detector is to measure the charge of incident cosmic-ray nuclei with a resolution of 0.2 charge unit for atomic number, Z=1-30 with energy range from 1 to 1000 TeV. It is one of detectors for CREAM (Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass) experiment to test current models of source and acceleration mechanisms of ultra high energy cosmic rays. It's first flight will be with a NASA zero pressure balloon planned to be launched from McMurdo Station, Antarctica in December 2004. (omitted)

The hydrogen plasma treatment of silicon wafers in the reactive ion-etching mode was studied for the application to silicon-on-insulator wafers which were prepared using the wafer bonding technique. The chemical reactions of hydrogen plasma with surface were used for both surface activation and removal of surface contaminants. As a result of exposure of silicon wafers to the plasma, an active oxide layer was found on the surface. This layer was rendered hydrophilic. The surface roughness and morphology were examined as functions of the plasma exposing time and power. In addition, the surface became smoother with the shorter plasma exposing time and power. The value of initial surface energy estimated by the crack propagation method was 506 mJ/㎡, which was up to about three times higher as compared to the case of conventional direct using the wet RCA cleaning method.

SIMOX SOI structures were formed by oxygen ion implantation with a dose of 2 1018 ions/cm2 at 180kev and post-implantation annealing at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours in nitrogen ambient. The oxygen redistribution process during post-implantation annealing was examined by AES and TEM. The electrical property of the structure was investigated by SRP method. We could find oxygen precipitates in SOI layer was discussed. And the limiting factor to the decrease of the precipitates during post-implantation annealing was discussed also.

In the solvent extraction of Ru(IV) with Alamine336, it was found that Ru took part in the reaction as $RuCl_{6}_^{2-}$ in the HCl concentration range of 1 to 5 M. Interaction parameter between hydrogen ion and $RuCl_{6}_^{2-}$ was estimated by applying Bromley equation to the extraction data. From the mixed solutions of Pd(II) and Ru(IV), the distribution coefficients of Pd were found to be higher than those of Ru in the experimental ranges. Separation factor between Pd and Ru rapidly increased with the decrease of Alamine336 concentration. About 60% of the Ru from the mixed solutions was extracted by TBP at 8.3 M HCl, while Pd was not extracted in the HCl concentration range of 1.6 to 8.3 M.
