The stabilities of the charge transfer complexes of pentamethyl benzene with iodine in n-hexane have been investigated by UV-spectrophotometric measurements at 25, 40 and 60$^{\circ}C$ up to 1600 bars. The equilibrium constant of the complex formation was increased with pressure while being decreased with temperature raising. Changes of volume, enthalpy, free energy and entropy for the formation of the complexes were obtained from the equilibrium constants. The red-shift at higher pressure, the blue-shift at higher temperature, and the relation between pressure and oscillator strength have been discussed by means of thermodynamic functions. In comparison with the results in the previous studies, the absolute values of ${\Delta}$V at each temperature were increased with the number of methyl groups of polymethyl benzene. However, it can be seen that both ${\Delta}$H and ${\Delta}$S show extreme behaviors in durene near atmospheric pressure but they are negatively increased with the number of methyl groups near 1600 bar. This order of the thermodynamic parameters may be a measure of the relative basicities of polymethyl benzenes toward iodine under each pressure, and these phenomena are explained in terms of a positive inductive effect and a steric hindrance effect of the polymethyl benzene molecule.

One-dimensional soil-column studies were carried out to understand the interaction of three industrial effluents namely amino acid ('highly acidic'), surfactant ('highly organic') and pharmaceutical ('organic and toxic') on the physicochemical behavior, index properties and shear strength of bentonite due to artificial contamination extending to nearly 300 days. Changes in inorganic and organic pollutants present in the effluents due to the interaction of the above effluents and soil were assessed to understand the physico-chemical behaviour. Batch and continuous modes of operation, 8 hrs and 16 hrs Hydraulic Retention Time [HRT] and 25%, 50% concentrations of effluents, were the parameters considered. Amino acid, surfactant and pharmaceutical effluents have shown a high variation in pH (7 to 8) after artificial contamination on bentonite that is their original characteristics of the above effluents have been completely reversed. Further, it is found that the shear strength of bentonite has reduced by about 20%, and with respect to liquid limit and plastic limit shows an increasing trend with time within the period of contamination.

The surface structure of the electrospun polymer fibers depends on the polymer concentration, the type of solvent used, applied voltage and so on. To make a desired surface, it is important to understand the effects of the physicochemical properties to form a stable Taylor cone and jet dispensation. We observed the formation of Taylor cone and a consequent structure of fiber by controlling the parameters of applied voltage, solution concentration, solvent and collector effectively. Once the surfaces were fabricated, the structures were analyzed using optical imaging technologies. As the solution concentration was increased, the smooth fibers were formed. In addition, different solvent ratios determined the viscosity and the surface tension of solutions. As a result, with decreased viscosity and increased surface tension, thin fibers were obtained by electrospinning. Furthermore the aligned nanofiber was successfully created by using drum collector.

This study optimized the chemical cleaning process of discarded RO membranes for reuse in less demanding separation processes. The effect of physicochemical parameters, including the temperature, cleaning time, pH of the cleaning solution, and addition of additives, on the cleaning process was investigated. The membrane performance was evaluated by testing the flux recovery rate and salt rejection before and after the cleaning process. High temperatures (45-50 ℃) resulted in a better flux recovery rate of 71% with more than 80% salt rejection. Equal time for acid and base cleaning 3-3 h presented a 72.43% flux recovery rate with salt rejection above 85%. During acid and base cleaning, the best results were achieved at pH values of 3.0 and 12.0, respectively. Moreover, 0.05% concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid presented 72.3% flux recovery, while 69.2% flux was achieved using sodium dodecyl sulfate with a concentration of 0.5%; both showed >80% salt rejection, indicating no damage to the active layer of the membrane. Conversely, 0.5% concentration of sodium percarbonate showed 83.1% flux recovery and 0.005% concentration of sodium hypochlorite presented 85.2% flux recovery, while a high concentration of these chemicals resulted in oxidation of the membrane that caused a reduction in salt rejection.

Meat industries utilize plant material such as celery in cured meat products. Extraction of valuable bioactive compounds, nitrates and nitrites often involves processes that increase cost or lack sustainability. Thus, this study investigated the effect of ball-milled celery powders (CP) on the physicochemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties along with curing efficiency in comminuted meat product. Pork sausages loaded with CPs with different average particle sizes: 265 ㎛ (T1), 68 ㎛ (T2) and 7 ㎛ (T3) were compared to those added without and with sodium nitrite (150 ppm). The a⁎ values were increased for sausages with larger particle size. The L⁎ values decreased for all CPs. Residual nitrite for all particle sizes increased in the earlier stages and decreased at the end of storage period. The curing efficiency also increased for larger size particles with an increase until day 9 followed by a gradual decrease. Superfine CP had a tendency to improve the antioxidant activities. The antimicrobial activity of CPs was not comparable with nitrite added sausages. The textural parameters remained unaffected by particle size. Thus, instead of extracts or juices, micronized CPs could be used to improve the antioxidant activities and curing efficiency of label friendly reformulated meat products.

There is growing interest in sustainable energy sources that can reduce fossil fuel dependence and environmental pollution while meeting rapidly growing energy demands. Hydrogen have been investigated as one of the ideal alternative energies because it has relatively high efficiency without emitting pollutants. The light-sensitized enzymatic (LSE) system, which uses hydrogenase-enzymes, is one of the methods towards economically feasible system configurations that enhance the rate of hydrogen generation. Hydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reversible reaction that oxidizes molecular hydrogen or produces molecular hydrogen from protons and electrons. In this paper, utilization of [NiFe]-hydrogenase (from Pyrococcus furiosus) in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production system such as handling, immobilization, physicochemical and electrochemical analysis, process parameters, etc. was introduced.

Oil was extracted from cashew nuts. The physicochemical parameters of the oil were determined. A chromatographic assay of the oil was carried out using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Seventeen compounds were detected: Phenol, Phenol 2-methyl-, Cyclohexene 4, 4-dimethyl-, m-Fluoro-2-diazoacetophenone 4-dimethyl-, Tetradecanoic acid, Phenol 4-octyl-, n-Hexadecanoic acid. Others are 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z) - methyl ester, Hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, Methyl stearate, Dodecanoic acid methyl ester, 9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid methyl ester, 9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid (Z, Z, Z)-, Oleic acid, Octadecanoic acid, Tetracosanoic acid and 9-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester. Among the components are omega three and omega six essential free fatty acids. The rheological profiling and flow properties of cashew nut oil were determined using a Programmable Rheometer. Cashew nut oil exhibits slight dilatant behaviour at the low end of shear rate. The long chain and high molecular weight of its constituents controlled its rheology. Long-chained 9-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester, 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z) - methyl ester, Tetracosanoic acid and methyl stearate, coupled with their high molecular weights are responsible for the shear thickening effect observed. Two models, Carreau-Yasuda and Ostwald-de Waele Power Law were employed to fit the rheological data. The Carreau-Yasuda model followed well the data.

본 연구는 사육기간과 등심의 근내지방도에 따른 이화학적 특성 및 전단력을 측정하여 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시하였으며, 각 처리구별 한우 5두씩 선별하여 pH, 육색도, 일반성분, 저장 및 가열감량, 보수력 및 전단력을 이원배치에 방법으로 통계분석을 실시하였다. 한우 등심의 pH는 사육기간과 근내지방도에 따라 유의적인 차이가 없었으나(p>0.05), 우둔의 경우 27개월령이 30개월령에 비하여 높았다(p<0.05). 사육기간에 따라 일반성분 함량에 차이를 보였으며, 등심의 근내지방도가 높을수록 수분을 감소하였고 단백질과 지방의 함량은 증가하였다(p<0.05). 육색도는 등심의 경우 근내지방도가 높을수록 명도와 적색도 및 황색도가 높아져(p<0.05), 27과 30개월령이 33개월령에 비하여 낮았다(p<0.05). 우둔의 경우는 등심의 근내지방도에 따른 차이가 없었으나, 적색도와 황색도의 경우 27개월령이 30 또는 33개월령에 비하여 높았다(p<0.05). 한편 사육기간에 따라 보수력에 영향을 주어 27개월령이 30 또는 33개월령에 비하여 가열감량(%)이나 저장 중 진공감량이 낮아서 사육개월이 낮을수록 수분보유력이 좋은 경향을 보였다. 우둔의 전단력은 사육기간에 따라 차이를 보여 사육기간이 짧을수록 우둔의 전단력이 낮게 나타나 육질이 부드러웠고(p<0.05), 근내지방도가 높을수록 등심의 전단력은 낮았으나(p<0.05) 우둔에는 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 각 부위(등심, 우둔)에 따라서 서로 다른 경향을 보이고 있어서, 사육개월에 따라서 등심 및 우둔의 pH, 육색, 일반성분, 수분보유력 및 전단력에 영향을 주었으며, 근내지방도에 따라서는 등심의 경우 일반성분, 보수력 및 전단력에 영향을 주었으나 우둔의 경우는 아무런 영향을 주지 않았다.

We investigated the longitudinal variations in zooplankton abundances and their related physicochemical properties at nine stations located between $136^{\circ}W$ and $128^{\circ}W$ at $10.5^{\circ}N$ in the northeastern Pacific in summer 2004. Temperature, salinity, inorganic nutrients, chlorophyll-a (hereafter chl-a) and zooplankton ($>200\;{\mu}m$) were sampled within the depth from the surface to 200 m depth at $1^{\circ}$ longitude intervals. Zooplankton($>200\;{\mu}m$) samples were vertically collected at two depth intervals from surface to 200 m, consisting of surface mixed and lower layers (thermocline$\sim$200 m). Longitudinal distributional pattern of hydrological parameters (especially salinity) was physically influenced by the intensity of westward geostrophic current passage relating to the NEC (North Equatorial Current). Data from the longitudinal survey showed clear zonal distributions in the hydrological parameters(temperature, salinity and nutrients). However, spatial patterns of the chl-a concentrations and zooplankton abundances were mostly independent of the zonal distributions of hydrological parameters. The two peaks of zooplankton abundance in the surface mixed layer were characterized by different controlling factors such as bottom-up control from nutrients to zooplankton ($129^{\circ}W$) and accumulation by increment of friction force and taxonomic interrelationship ($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$). Divergence-related upwelling caused introduction of nutrients into surface waters leading to the increment of chl-a concentration and zooplankton abundances ($129^{\circ}W$). Increased friction force in relation to reduced flow rates of geostrophic currents caused accumulation of zooplankton drifting from eastern stations of study area($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$). Besides, high correlation between immature copepods and carnivorous groups such as chaetognaths and cyclopoids also possibly contributed to the enhanced total abundance of zooplankton in the surface mixed layer (p<0.05). Zooplankton community was divided into three groups (A, B, C) which consecutively included the eastern peak of zooplankton($129^{\circ}W$), the western peak($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$) and high nutrient but low chl-a concentration and zooplankton abundance ($136^{\circ}W$). Moreover, Group B corresponded to the westward movement of low saline waters(<33.6 psu) from 128 to $132^{\circ}W$. In summary, longitudinal distributions of zooplankton community was characterized by three different controlling factors: bottom-up control ($129^{\circ}W$), accumulation by increased friction force and relationships among zooplankton groups ($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$), and mismatch between hydrological parameters and zooplankton in the high nutrient low chlorophyll area ($136^{\circ}W$) during the study period.

본 연구는 자연계에서 가장 흔하게 관찰되는 두 그린 러스트(green rust) 광물인 carbonate green rust (CGR)과 sulfate green rust (SGR)을 공침법(co-precipitation)을 통해 각각 합성하고, 이들의 형성 메커니즘 및 이화학적 특성들을 체계적으로 규명하였다. X-선 회절(XRD) 분석 및 리트벨트 정련 수행 결과, 본 합성 조건에서 이차광물상 없이 이중층수산화물로서 CGR과 SGR이 합성됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 각각의 구조 파라미터는 CGR의 경우 a(=b)축 = 3.17 Å, c축 = 22.52 Å이고, SGR의 경우 a(=b)축 = 5.50 Å, c축 = 10.97 Å이며, 이들의 미결정 크기는 각각 (003)면 기준 57.8 nm와 (001)면 기준 40.1 nm로 밝혀졌다. 주사전자현미경/에너지 분산형 분광분석(SEM/EDS) 결과, CGR과 SGR은 모두 육각 판상의 전형적인 이중층수산화물 결정 형상을 보이지만 탄소(C)와 황(S)의 함량은 서로 다르게 나타났다. 퓨리에 변환 적외선(FT-IR) 분광 분석결과, 탄산염(CO₃^2-)와 황산염(SO₄^2-) 이온들이 각각 CGR과 SGR의 층간 음이온으로 밝혀졌고, 이는 XRD를 활용한 광물상 동정 결과와 잘 일치한다. 철 용액으로의 수산화이온(OH^-) 주입 시간에 따른 혼합 용액의 pH와 Eh, 그리고 잔류 철 농도의 비율(Fe(II):Fe(III)) 측정 결과, 시간에 따른 차이는 있지만 두 green rusts 모두 1단계 전구체 형성, 2단계 중간 생성물로의 상변환, 그리고 3단계 green rust로의 상변환과 에이징에 의한 결정성장으로 이어지는 결정 형성 메커니즘을 보이는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 공침법을 통해 CGR과 SGR을 안정적으로 합성하고 이들의 형성 메커니즘과 이화학적 특성을 규명함으로써, green rust를 활용한 응용 연구 및 산업 활용에 원천 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
