A theoretical expression for determining the effective magnetic moment of hematite(${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$) particle of the parasitic ferromagnetism by the proton relaxation in water is derived. In deriving the expression it is found that the mathematical procedures are exactly the same as those applied for aqueous solutions containing free paramagnetic ions, except that the distance between the proton spin of water molecule and the corresponding electronic spin of the particle must be considered to be a radius vector rather than a relative distance. And it is also found that the average effective magnetic moment of the particle calculated by the expression is in good agreement with the experimental value determined by Hirai.

NMR spectroscopy enables us to measure the molar concentration of the metabolites in the organisms, and this technique is the only method to measure the concentration non-invasively. The proton NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the biochemical changes in human as well as in animal brain. MRI uses the proton densities and its relaxation times for reconstructing images, but MRS gives the biochemical changes inside the body. NMR spectroscopy could provide the information which MRI and CT could not, and this makes NMR spectroscopy more useful in diagnosing diseases. This study was tried to develop the quantitation of the molar concentration of the metabolites in the brain using the proton MR spectroscopy. The spectra of each metabolites was obtained, and the proton MR spectra was obtained from the insula gray matter areas of the 16 volunteers. And this spectra was analyzed to estimated the molar concentrations of the metabolites in the region. The results showed the very similar to those of the others.

The proton NMR line widths and spin-lattice relaxation rates, $T_1^{-1}$, of ferroelectric $LiH_3(SeO_3)_2$, $Li_2SO_4{\cdot}H_2O$, and $LiN_2H_5SO_4$ single crystals were measured as a function of temperature. The line width measurements reveal rigid lattice behavior of all the crystals at low temperatures and line narrowing due to molecular motion at higher temperatures. The temperature dependences of the proton $T_1^{-1}$ for these crystals exhibit maxima, which are attributed to the effects of molecular motion by the Bloembergen - Purcell - Pound theory. The activation energies for the molecular motions of $^1H$ in these crystals were obtained. From these analysis, $^1H$ in $LiH_3(SeO_3)_2$ undergoes molecular motion more easily than $^1H$ in $LiN_2H_5SO_4$ and $Li_2SO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ crystals.

The complex magnetic susceptibility of as-quenched and proton irradiated amorphous ribons of $FE_{81}B_{13.5}Si_{3.5}C_2$ was measured in the frequency range 10 KHz~ 10 MHz. The frequency spectra of real and imaginary parts of susceptibility showed a typical Debye-type relaxation. Relatively high relaxtion frequency, ~3 MHz observed in the present work suggented that domain rotation is involved in the relaxation process. The susceptibility at the low frequency decreased with the irradiation, while that at high frequency increased due to the increasing defect density. The relaxation frequency of domain roation shifted toward higher frequency, due to the increasing pinning force against domain motion by the irradiation.

Photophysics of 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline (HBQ) has been in controversy, in particular, on the nature of the electronic states before and after the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), even though the dynamics and mechanism of the ESIPT have been well established. We report highly time resolved fluorescence spectra over the full emission frequency regions of the enol and keto isomers and the anisotropy in time domain to determine the accurate rates of the population decay, spectral relaxation and anisotropy decay of the keto isomer. We have shown that the ~300 fs component observed frequently in ESIPT dynamics arises from the $S_2{\rightarrow}S_1$ internal conversion in the reaction product keto isomer and that the ESIPT occurs from the enol isomer in $S_1$ state to the keto isomer in $S_2$ state.

In the reaction A + B $^\rightarrow_\leftarrow$ C, where A and B are ionic reactants having opposite charges, a B molecule approaching an A will experience a switching of the interaction potential when the A molecule is captured by one of the other B molecules in the medium. In the reversible case, the former B molecule still has a chance to react with the A, so that one needs to take into account the switched interaction between the reactant B and the product C as well as that between the reactants to treat the kinetics accurately. It is shown that this kind of interaction potential switching affects the relaxation kinetics in an intriguing way as observed in a recent experiment on an excited-state proton transfer reaction.

Both the ultrasonic velocity at 3 MHz and the absorption coefficient in the frequency range from 0.2 to 2 MHz were measured for aqueous solutions of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) over the concentration range from 5 to $25\%$ (by weight). The pulse echo overlap method was employed to measure the ultrasonic velocity over the temperature range from 10 to $90^{\circ}C;$ the high-Q ultrasonic resonator method was used for the measurement of the absorption coefficient at $20^{\circ}C.$ The velocities exhibited their maximum values at ca. 55, 59, 63, 67, and $71^{\circ}C.$ for the 25, 20, 15, 10, and $5\%$ solutions, respectively. The velocity increased with respect to the poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate) concentration at a given temperature. A study of the concentration dependence of the both the relaxation frequency and amplitude indicated that the relaxation at ca. 200 kHz is related to structural fluctuations of the polymer molecules, such as the segmental motions of the polymer chains and that the relaxation at ca. 1 MHz resulted from the proton transfer reactions of the oxygen sites of $SO_3.$ Both the absorption and the shear viscosity increase upon increasing the polymer concentration, but they decrease upon increasing the temperature.

In this study, the feasibility of magnetic resonance techniques for nondestructive internal quality evaluation of Korean red ginseng was examined. Relaxation time constants were measured using various grades of red ginsengs. Solid state magnetic resonance imaging technique was applied to image dried red ginsengs which have low moisture contents (about 13%). A 7 tesla magnetic resonance imaging system operating at a proton resonant frequency of 300 ㎒ was used for acquiring MR images of dried Korean red ginseng. The comparison test of cross cut digital images and magnetic resonance images of heaven grade, good grade with cavity inside, and good grade with white part inside red ginseng suggested the feasibility of the internal quality evaluation of Korean red ginsengs using MRI techniques. A good grade red ginseng included abnormal tissues such as cavities or white parts inside was observed by the signal intensity of MR image based on magnetic resonance properties of proton nucleus. Analysis on an one dimensional profile of acquired MR image of Korean red ginseng showed easy discrimination of normal and abnormal tissues. MR techniques suggested ways to detect internal defects of red ginsengs effectively.

The effect of the addition of 2 kinds of chemically modified starches (the anti-caking agents; tapioca starch and com starch) on caking of ramen soup was observed using a low-resolution proton-pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. After storing ramen soup samples with diverse compositions of modified starch at 20-40% relative humidity for 4 weeks, changes in the spin-spin relaxation time constant ($T_2$) were measured as a function of temperature. $T_2-Temperature$ curves for ramen soup containing modified starches showed that the caking initiation temperature (glass transition temperature) was increased by $5^{\circ}C$ following the addition of only 0.5% modified cornstarch. The results indicate that the modified com starch used in this study would be an effective anti-caking agent for ramen soup, thus prolonging the shelf life of the product.
