We investigated whether carboxylate exudation of Brassica pekinensis Rupr. was affected by nitrate deposition from simulated acid rain. A gas chromatographic (GC) analysis was employed for the determination of low molecular weight organic acids (LOA) in rhizosphere soils, bulk soil, roots and leaves of Brassica pekinensis Rupr.. Rhizosphere soils were collected after 8 weeks of plant growth by first removing the bulk soil from the root system and then by mechanical move off the rhizosphere soil that adhered to the root surface with soft brush. Soil and plant materials were simultaneously extracted with the mixture of methanol and sulfuric acid (100:7, v/v). Seven organic acids, oxalic, malonic, fumaric, succinic, maleic, L-malic and citric acid were identified and quantified by GC equipped with FID. Oxalic, L-malic, and citric acids were found in both the bulk and rhizosphere soils, while most LOAs were not detected in the control treatment. On the contrary, except maleic acid, all other organic acids were detected in the leaves and roots of cabbages treated with nitrate deposition.

Rosin-maleic anhydride adduct(RMA) was synthesized from rosin and maleic anhydride. Highly purified RMA for the application of polymerization monomer was synthesized by means of two methods; the melt reaction followed by further purification and the solution reaction. As a result of this study, the solution reaction was better than the melt reaction for obtaining higher yield of RMA. Maximum yield of RMA obtained by the melt reaction was only 40%. But the yield of RMA obtained by the reaction in carbon tetrachloride solution was 48%(theoretical yield 87.6%) and that obtained by the reaction in acetic acid solution was 51.5%(theoretical yield 94%) respectively.

The effects of various All-Etching Agents (10% phosphoric acid, 10% maleic acid and 10 % citric acid) and 32 % phosphoric acid and varied etching time were evaluated by observing the morphology of the etched enamel surfaces using Scanning electron microscopy and by measuring the shear bond strength of a composite resin to human enamel. A total of 156 extracted premolar and molar teeth free of irregularities were employed in this study. Specimens for the observation of enamel morphology were divided into 12 groups of 3 teeth each, based on the type of etchant used and application time. After exposure to the etching agent specimens were washed air-dried and then glued to aluminum stubs and coated with a layer of gold for examination in the scanning electron microscope. Specimens for the evaluation of bond strength were divided into 12 groups of 10 teeth each also based on the type of etchant used and application time. After exposure to the etching agent the specimens were washed, air-dried and a thin layer of bonding agent was applied using a brush. Z 100 composite resin was light cured to the surface and stored at $37^{\circ}C$, 100% humidity for 7 days. An Instron Universal Testing Machine was used to apply a shearing force at $90^{\circ}$ angle from the enamel surface. It is concluded from this study that commercial All-etching agents can be used with a 15-second etching without adversely affecting retention of dental resin materials. At the same time, the acid concentration is probably a suitable compromise regarding the acid's function as a dentin demineralizing all-etch conditioning agent. The following results were obtained. 1. Specimens etched with 10 % citric acid showed a random superficial etching pattern which could not be related to prism morphology. 2. Specimens etched with 10 % and 32 % phosphoric acid and 10 % maleic acid showed a type I pattern in which core material was preferentially removed leaving the prism peripheries relatively intact or a type II pattern in which prism peripheries were preferentially removed. This delineation became more distinguished as etching time was increased. 3. All-Etching Agents and 32 % phosphoric acid showed a statistically significant higher shear bond strength at 15 seconds etching time.(p<0.05) 4. 10 % maleic acid and 32 % phosphoric acid exhibited a statistically significant higher shear bond strength than 10 % phosphoric and citric acid at 15 seconds etching time.(p<0.05).

A simple, accurate and specific NMR procedure is described for the determination of amplicilin and cloxacillin mixtures in injection dosage form and capsules. The solvent was dimethysulfoxde $d_{6}$ and maleic acid was the internal standard. By integrating the peak at 2.68 ppm and 4.57 ppm, cloxacillin and ampicillin could be determined respectively. The relative proton ratio of ampicillin trihydrate and cloxacillin were 1.038 and 0.950. The coefficents of variation of amplicillin trihydrate and cloxacillin in a few commerical preparation were 1.55 % (n =9), 2.69 % (n =15).

Photoreactions of some carbonyl compounds with TiO$_2$ were investigated in methanol. Although 1,3-cyclohexanedione and phthalimide afforded 3-methoxy-2-cyclohexen-l-one and 3-methoxy-1-isoindolinone, respectively, acid anhydrides such as succinic, phthalic, and maleic anhydrides gave the monoesters of dicarboxylic acids in good to excellent yields, when they were irradiated on TiO$_2$ in methanol with 300 nm UV light.

High-molecular-weight maleic anhydride-grafted polylactic acids (HMMA-g-PLA) compatibilizers were prepared by melt grafting in a twin screw extruder using di(tert-butyl-perxoyisopropyl)benzene (PK-14; as initiator), maleic anhydride (MA), and divinylbenzene (DVB). To determine the properties of the prepared HMMA-g-PLA compatibilizers, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Melt index (MI), and back-titration analyses were performed. On increasing DVB concentration, grafting yield of HMMA-g-PLA increased but MI decreased because 𝛽-scission of PLA was restrained by the DVB, and thus, the molecular weight of HMMA-g-PLA increased. PLA-based wood-plastic composites (WPCs) were prepared using HMMA-g-PLA by melt blending through a single screw extruder. The flexural and impact strengths of WPCs compatibilized with HMMA-g-PLA were greater than those of WPCs produced without HMMA-g-PLA. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies indicated that increased mechanical properties were caused by excellent interfacial adhesion between PLA and wood fibers due to the addition of HMMA-g-PLA. However, rather high contents of HMMA-g-PLA reduced the mechanical properties of WPCs. We believe that lower molecular-weight of HMMA-g-PLA added as an compatibilizer, compared with PLA polymer, caused the reduction of mechanical properties.

Six reagents (water, citric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, acetic anhydride and maleic anhydride) were evaluated for their effectiveness is degumming rice bran oil. All chemical reagents tested were found to be significantly more effective than water in removing phosphatides from crude rice bran oil. Especially acetic anhydride and phosphoric acid were effective in reducing phosphorous levels (92.5% and 93.3% removeal, respectively). Nonhydratable phospholipids, lysophosphatidyl choline, were removed more effectively by the chemical reagents than by the water degumming. The major phospholipid(PL) components were phophatidyl choline. Oleic, linolieic and palmitic acids were the major fatty acids of PL in rice bran acetone insolubles(AI). The AI recovered by acetic anhydride degumming produced the most stable emulsions. However, the AI obtained from phophoric acid or oxalic acid treatments had very poor emulsifying properties.

To develop a new processed foods with prepersimmon, the contents of approximate composition, free sugar, organic acid, mineral and vitamins in prepersimmon(Diospyros kaki Thumb. cv. Fuyu) were investigated. The approximate composition was 89.08% of moisture, 0.26% of crude ash, 0.56% of crude fat and 0.75% of crude protein respectively. Free sugars were composed of glucose, fructose and sucrose. Glucose(3.34%) and fructose(3.01%) were major free sugars, and sucrose was detected a small quantities. The organic acids were composed of citric acid. maleic acid, fumalic acid and lactic acid. Lactic acid(68.65mg%) was major a organic acid and took 79% of total organic acid amount. Minerals were K, P, Na. Ca, Fe and Zn, and K was a major mineral and detected 126.l2mg%, and Fe and Zn were a small quantities. The content of vitamin A was 33.95 R.E., and less than that in hard persimmon, and the content of vitamin C was 171.01 mg%, 10 times higher in comparison with that in hard persimmon, and vitamin B$_1$ and B$_2$ were detected a small quantities.
