The effect of La₂O₃ addition on the crystalline phase, microstructure, and dielectric properties of BaTiO₃ has been studied as a function of the amounts of La₂O₃. 0.3 mol% TiO₂-excess BaTiO₃ powder was synthesized by solid-state reaction, and then the powder compacts with various amounts of La₂O₃ were sintered at 1250℃ for 2 hours. Room temperature XRD showed changes in the lattice parameters and a decrease of tetragonality (c/a) as the amounts of La₂O₃ increased. It can be explained that the phase transition from tetragonal to cubic phase occurred because La³⁺ replaced Ba²⁺ site, which increased the instability of the tetragonal phase. As La₂O₃ was added over 0.1 mol%, the critical driving force for growth (Δg_c) increased over maximum driving force (Δg_max). As the result, the grain size decreased with La₂O₃ addition. Dielectric constant decreased as the amounts of La₂O₃ increased, which was analyzed with crystal structure and microstructure.

In the presence of alcohol, phospholipase D (PLD) is known to perform transphosphatidylation activity, during which the overall reaction rate of PLD increased. To elucidate the reaction mechanism of transphosphatidylation further, we investigated rate constants of transphosphatidylation reaction of the purified ${\alpha}$-type PLD from cabbage in the presence of various alcohols. The second-oder rate constants of PLD transphosphatidylation showed a large increase with the primary alcohols examined as expected. In the case of butanol we observed the second-oder rate constant of $33.33{\pm}1.33M^{-1}sec^{-1}$. This second-order rate constant of transphosphatidylation was as 400 times greater as the second-order hydrolysis rate constant of $0.078M^{-1}sec^{-1}$ which was adjusted for the water concentration. A linear free energy relationship between the $pK_a$ of alcohol and transphosphatidylation rate gives a Br${\o}$nsted slope of ${\beta}_{nu}$ = 0.12 ${\pm}$ 0.03. This small ${\beta}_{nu}$ value implicates that the transition state of break down of phosphatidyl-enzyme intermediate (E-P) is likely dissociative. Finally, a reaction mechanism of cabbage PLD is suggested on the basis of our results presented here and the histidine residue known to be located in the active site of cabbage PLD.

Mono-oxo-bridged binuclear molybdenum(V) complex, $[Mo_2O_3(Phen)_2(NCS)_4]$ produces di-oxo-bridged binuclear molybdenum(V) complex, $[Mo_2O_4(Phen)_2(NCS)_2]$ in water + co-solvent, where the co-solvent are acetone, acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide. The rate of conversion of $[Mo_2O_3(Phen)_2(NCS)_4]\;into\;[Mo_2O_4(Phen)_2(NCS)_2]$ has been measured by spectrophotometric method. Temperature was $10^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$ and pressure was varied up to 1500 bar. The rate constants are increased with increasing water mole fraction and decreased with increasing concentration of hydrogen ion. The order of oxygen ring formation reaction rate in various cosolvent is as follows, ACT > AN > DMF which is agreed with solvent dielectric constants. The observed negative activation entropy ($[\Delta}S^{\neq}$), activation volume($[\Delta}V^{\neq}$) and activation compressibility coefficient(${\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq}$) values show that the solvent water molecule is strongly attracted to the complex at transition state. From these results, the oxygen ring formation reaction of $[Mo_2O_3(Phen)_2(NCS)_4]$ is believed association mechanism.

Even though a lately reported method of high temperature exchange labelling of o-iodo-hippuric acid (Hippuran) in the absence of oxidizing agent was considered to be an attractive one, the exchange mechanism was somewhat unclear. In this study iodine isotope exchanges between o-iodohippuric acid (OIH) and radioiodide ($^{125}$ $I^{ }$) or between OIH and molecular radioiodine ($^{125}$ $I_2$) were carried out at two different temperatures. Rate constants and activation parameters were measured by applying a radio-paper chromatography technique. Since o-iodobenzoic acid is known as a by-product in the exchange labelling of OIH, data were also obtained for the OIB-iodide systems for comparison. The rate constant was increased in the order of OIB...$^{125}$ $I^{[-10]}$ >OIB...$^{125}$ $I_2$>OIH..$^{125}$ $I^{[-10]}$ >OIH...$^{125}$ $I_2$ and the activation parameters for OIH were generally larger than those for OIB :$\Delta$H$\neq$$_{OIH}$>$\Delta$H$\neq$$_{OIB}$, $\Delta$S$\neq$$_{OIH}$>$\Delta$S$\neq$$_{OIB}$. These results suggest that the mechanism of the high temperature exchange is predominantly nucleophilic even though some electrophilic character can also be involved depending upon reaction conditions. Such a fact may well be caused by a feasible formation of hydrogen bonding type transition state due probably to the ortho substituent effect of-CONHC $H_2$COOH. Thus, the high temperature exchange method is estimated to be quite effective for labelling Hippuran especially at a small research center where reducing agent-free $^{131}$ I is unavailable.ailable..

This study investigates the durability of carbon/epoxy composites for use on train car bodies under a salt water spray environment. Salt water solution with 5% NaCl, similar to natural salt water, was used for the salt water environmental tests. The specimens were obtained from a composite panel consisting of an epoxy matrix reinforced with T700 carbon fabric. The specimens were exposed to the salt water environment for up to 12 months. Mechanical tests were performed to obtain tensile properties, flexural properties, and shear properties. Dynamic mechanical analysis was used to measure such thermal properties as storage modulus, loss modulus, and tan $\delta$. Also FT/IR tests were conducted to investigate changes in chemical structure with exposure. The results revealed that fiber-dominated mechanical properties were not affected much by exposure time, but matrix-dominated mechanical properties decreased with increasing exposure time. Storage modulus was not very sensitive to exposure time, but glass transition temperature was affected, slightly decreasing with increasing exposure time. Although the peak intensity of FT/IR curves was affected slightly by exposure time, the peak shape and peak location of FT/IR curves were not noticeably changed. Carbon/epoxy composites used for this study were relatively stable to the salt water environment.

Biological networks have been handled with the static concept. However, life phenomena in cells occur depending on the cellular state and the external environment, and only a few proteins and their interactions are selectively activated. Therefore, we should adopt the dynamic network concept that the structure of a biological network varies along the flow of time. This concept is effective to analyze the progressive transition of the disease. In this paper, we applied the proposed method to Alzheimer's disease to analyze the structural and functional characteristics of the disease network. Using gene expression data and protein-protein interaction data, we constructed the sub-networks in accordance with the progress of disease (normal, early, middle and late). Based on this, we analyzed structural properties of the network. Furthermore, we found module structures in the network to analyze the functional properties of the sub-networks using the gene ontology analysis (GO). As a result, it was shown that the functional characteristics of the dynamics network is well compatible with the stage of the disease which shows that it can be used to describe important biological events of the disease. Via the proposed approach, it is possible to observe the molecular network change involved in the disease progression which is not generally investigated, and to understand the pathogenesis and progression mechanism of the disease at a molecular level.

We study on the change of electrical properties of two-dimensional (2D) $SnSe_2$ materials with respect to Cl doping as $SnSe_{1.994}Cl_{0.006}$ under a high temperature condition. (300~450 K) By the simple solid-state reaction method, non-and Cl-doped 2D $SnSe_2$ materials are successfully synthesized with negligible impurities as confirmed by X-ray diffraction. From the temperature dependence of resistivity, it is observed that the conduction mechanism is changed from hopping to degenerate conduction with Cl doping. By Hall effect measurement, an increase on electron carrier concentration from ${\sim}7{\times}10^{16}$ to ${\sim}3{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ with Cl doping verifies that Cl is an effective electron donor which results in the encouraged carrier concentration. Detailed analysis for temperature dependent Hall mobility reveals that the electrical transports in high temperature regime are governed by the grain boundary-controlled mechanism for non-doped $SnSe_2$, which is effectively suppressed by Cl-doping as entering metallic transport regime.

$Na^+$-beta-alumina solid electrolyte was synthesized by solid state reaction using $Li_2O$ and MgO as a phase stabilizer, and the effect of stabilizers on the phase formation and sintering density was investigated. In order to determine the phase fraction according to the synthesizing temperature, the molar ratio of [$Na_2O$] : [$Al_2O_3$] was fixed at 1 : 5, and calcination was conducted at temperatures between $1200{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. In the $Li_2O$-$Na_2O$-$Al_2O_3$ ternary system, ${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina phase fraction considerably increased by the secondary phase transition at $1500^{\circ}C$, whereas it maintained similarly in the MgO-$Na_2O$-$Al_2O_3$ system. Additionally, the disc-type specimens of $Na^+$-beta-alumina were sintered at the temperature between $1550{\sim}1650^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and relative sintering densities, phase changes, and microstructures were analyzed. In case of $Li_2O$-stabilized $Na^+$-beta-alumina, ${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-phase fraction and relative density of specimen sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ were 94.7% and 98%, respectively. Relative density of MgO-stabilized $Na^+$-beta-alumina increased with a rise in sintering temperature.
