Water-soluble crude polysaccharide (CAP-0) obtained from the Capsici Fructus(the fruits of Capsium annuum L.) showed a potent anti-complementary activity. The anti-complementary activity did not change by pronase digestion of CAP-0, but decreased by the periodate oxidation. CAP-0 was fractionated into four polysaccharide fractions, CAP-1,2,3 and 4, by the addition of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. CAP-1, showing the highest anti-complementary activity, was refractioned by anion-exchange chromatography to give three major fractions(CAP-1-III, IV and V). CAP-1-III was shown to have low anti-complementary activity, but CAP-1-IV and V had high activity. CAP-1-III and IV were purified on Sephadex G-100 to give each two fractions(CAP-1-IIIa and IIIb, CAP-1-IVa and IVb), respectively. From the results of gel filtration and electrophoresis, these four fractions and CAP-1-V were found to be homogeneous polysaccharides. High molecular polysaccharies(M.W. CAP-1-IIIa 70,000, IVa 195,000, V 140,000) showed relatively higher anti-complementary activity than low molecular polysaccharides(CAP-1-IIIb and IVb).

Polycrystalline powder of vanadium-doped forsterite (Vδ $Mg_2SiO_4$) was synthesized by the $H_2O_2$-assisted sol-gel method. The vanadium dopant, which was added as VO$(OMe)_3$ in methanol, went through several redox reactions as the sol-gel reaction proceeded. Upon adding VO$(OMe)_3$ to a mixture of $Mg(OMe)_2$ and Si$(OEt)_4$ in methanol, V(V) reduced to V(IV). As hydrolysis reaction proceeded, the V(IV) oxidized all back to V(V). Apparently, some of the V(V) reduced to V(IV) during subsequent gelation by condensation reaction. The V(IV) remained even after heat treatment of the gel in highly oxidizing atmosphere. The crystallization of the xerogel around 880 ℃ readily produced single phase forsterite without any minor phase. Using the polycrystalline powder as feeding stock, single crystals of vanadium-doped forsterite were grown by the floating zone method in oxidizing or reducing atmosphere. The doping was limited in low level because of the high partitioning of the vanadium in liquid phase during melting. The greenish single crystal absorbed visible light of 700∼1100 nm. But, no emission was obtained in near infrared range.

The accurate determination of the fast neutron flux/fluence onto the pressure vessel is an essential part of the reactor pressure vessel surveillance program. It has been reported recently that the iron cross section data in ENDF/B versions III through V might underestimate the flux/fluence of fast neutrons in steel structures such as reactor pressure vessel. In this study, for the comparison of iron data of ENDF/B-IV and VI we produced two 47-group cross section sets, CXFe-IV and CXFe-Ⅵ, which are based on Yonggwang nuclear unit-3/4 model and the iron data of ENDF/B-IV and VI, respectively. A comparison was made of the results obtained from DOT4.3 calculation using CXFe-IV and CXFe-VI. From the results, it was found that the fast flux(E 〉 1.0 MeV), which is important for the pressure vessel embrittlement analysis, increases by about 7.6％ at the inner wall and 20％ at the outer wall of the vessel, if the iron data are used from ENDF/B-VI instead of ENDF/B-IV.

Whether it is beneficial to dissect level V in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients with positive lateral neck lymph nodes at levels II-IV is still controversial, especially for low risk cases. In this study, we reviewed the medical records of 47 patients who underwent 47 ipsilateral selective lateral neck dissections (levels II-IV) for previously untreated papillary thyroid carcinomas between October 2006 and October 2008 to assist in establishing the optimal strategy for lateral neck dissection in low risk PTC patients with clinically negative level V nodes. All 47 patients were confirmed to have positive lymph nodes pathologically. Seventeen (36.12%), 36 (76.6%), and 34 (72.34%) patients had positive lymph nodes in levels II, III, and IV, respectively. The mean number of pathologically positive lymph nodes was 1.7 in level II, 2.9 in level III, 2.8 in level IV. No death and distant metastasis were recorded during follow up period. Just 2 patients exhibited recurrence to lymph nodes, and only one showed nodal recurrence in ipsilateral level V, who had positive lymph nodes in all of levels II, III, and IV at initial neck surgery. In conclusion, for PTC low risk patients with clinically negative lymph nodes in level V, non-performance of level V dissection would still achieve good survival results as traditional modified radical neck dissection, with a "wait and see" strategy to be recommended.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of saliva decontamination procedures on microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of 1-step self-etching adhesives to dentin of primary posterior teeth. 63 sound primary-posterior teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different kinds of 1-step self-etching adhesives: $Scotchbond^{TM}$ Universal Adhesive (SBU), All-Bond $Universal^{(R)}$ (ABU), and $Tetric^{(R)}$ N Bond Universal (TBU). Each group was randomly categorized into 7 subgroups: (I) application of adhesive without saliva contamination (control); (II - IV) contamination by saliva before photopolymerization; (V - VII) contamination by saliva after photopolymerization; (II, V) decontamination by drying; (III, VI) decontamination by washing and drying; (IV, VII) decontamination by washing, drying, and reapplication of adhesive. All samples were cut into the blocks. At least 15 blocks were tested for each subgroup. For SBU and ABU, the MTBS values of subgroups (I, IV, VII) were significantly higher than those of subgroups (II, III, V, VI). For TBU, the MTBS values of subgroups (I, IV) was significantly higher than those of subgroup (II, III, V, VI). The MTBS of 3 adhesives was reduced by saliva contamination. The adhesive strength on dentin of primary posterior teeth was restored by reapplication of the adhesives after washing and drying.

The CANFLEX Mk-V bundle is designed to improve upon the critical heat flux (CHF) characteristics of the CANFLEX Mk-IV bundle. The main difference between these two bundles is an increase in bearing pad height of about 0.3 mm in the CANFLEX Mk-IV bundle. This change in bearing pad height leads to an increase in gap flow at the bottom of the bundle, primarily eliminating the localized narrow-gap effect that limits the CHF of the CANFLEX Mk-IV bundle. The objective of this paper is to examine the effects of bearing pad height and pressure tube creep on the sheath-temperature distribution, dryout power, and dryout location, as observed ken full-scale bundle tests, between CANFLEX Mk-IV and Mk-V bundles In uncrept and crept channels. A comparison of surface-temperature differences between the top and bottom elements of the bundles showed that increasing the bearing pad height has led to a more homogeneous enthalpy distribution in subchannels of the bundle. Initial dryout locations of the CANFLEX Mk-V bundle were mainly observed at the mid-spacer plane of either the $10^{th}$ (about $80\%$) or $11^{th}$ ($20\%$) bundle in the 12-bundle string, as compared to the mid-spacer and downstream-button planes for the CANFLEX Mk-IV bundle. Dryout power and boiling-length-average (BLA) CHF values exhibit consistent trends and little scatter with varying flow conditions for both types of CANFLEX bundles in uncrept and crept channels. An increase in pressure tube creep has led to a reduction in dryout power (about $20\%$ far the $3.3\%$ crept channel and $27\%$ for the $5.1\%$ crept channel as compared to dryout powers for the uncrept channel). Increasing the bearing pad height of the CANFLEX bundle has led to an increase in the dryout power. Overall, the dryout power of the CANFLEX Mk-V bundle is 7 to $10\%$ higher than that of the CANFLEX Mk-IV bundle at the inlet temperature range of interest (i.e., between 243 and $290^{\circ}C$).

Srivastava and Anderson(1970) illustrate a method of obtaining Balanced (but not orthogonal) Resolution $IV^*$ designs starting with a BIB design. The incidence matrix of a BIB design with parameters (v, b, r, k, and $\lambda$) is utilized to obtain Balanced Resolution $IV^*$ designs with m factors and n=2b runs, where $m \leq v$. In this paper, the same idea is extended to the case of PBIB designs to obtain Partially Balanced Resolution $IV^*$ designs. In the designs obtained here the variances are balanced and the covariances are partially balanced with respect to the main effects. A proof of this property of Partially Balanced Resoultion $IV^*$ designs is given. The efficiency of Partially Balanced Resolution $IV^*$ designs is also considered and examples of Partially Balanced Resoultion $IV^*$ designs are included.

In the fish oil forced oxidized at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, changes in the levels of peroxide (POV), anisidine (AnV), total oxidation (Totox), iodine (IV), acid (AV) and fatty acids composition were measured. The levels of POV, AnV and Totox remained unchanged or decreased after reaching the maximum. The concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as Docosa hexaenoic acid (DHA) or Eicosa pentaenoic acid (EPA) decreased with extended oxidation of fish oil. In saturated fatty acids (SFA) like C16:0, their concentration increased with decreasing PUFA. The ratios of PUFA/SFA and DHA/C16:0 decreased with extended oxidation of fish oil. Using a single parameter of POV, AnV, Totox, AV, IV, or fatty acids for evaluation of the quality of fish oil may prove difficult. Besides other parameters, the ratios of PUFA/SFA and/or DHA/C16:0 could be a good index to evaluate the quality of fish oil.

The spectroscopic characteristics of Pu (III, IV, V, VI) in the HCl media were investigated by measuring Pu oxidation states using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer (400-1200 nm) after adjusting Pu oxidation states with oxidation/reduction reagents. Pu in stock solution was reduced to Pu(III) with $NH_2OH$ HCl, and oxidized to Pu(IV) and Pu(VI) with $NaNO_2$ and $HClO_4$, respectively. Also, Pu(V) was adjusted in the Pu(VI) solution with $NH_2OH$ HCl. The major absorption peaks of Pu (IV) and Pu(III) were measured in the 470 m and 600 nm, respectively. The major absorption peaks of Pu (VI) and Pu(V) were measured in the 830 nm and 1135 nm, respectively. There was not found to be significant changes of UV-Vis absorption spectra for Pu(III), Pu(IV) and Pu(VI) with aging time, except that an unstable Pu(V) immediately reduced to Pu(III).

The weight decreases of the thermal deteriorated IV were rapidly increased at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and over. At the results of the analysis of the metallurgical microscope photographs. the surface of the thermal deteriorated IV at 30$0^{\circ}C$ was mixed with the elongated and original structures of Cu. But the elongated structures could not detected at 90$0^{\circ}C$ and over. The surface structures of SEM were detected a lot of small rounded particles between crystallizations. The EDX spectra of the thermal deteriorated IV at 3$0^{\circ}C$ were uniformly detected CuL, CuK, OK, and CIK, regardless of the scanning length, but the spectra of CIK could not found at 90$0^{\circ}C$. At the DTA curves, the endothermic reactions were occurred at about 25$0^{\circ}C$ to 30$0^{\circ}C$ and 43$0^{\circ}C$, and the exothermic reactions were occurred at about 48$0^{\circ}C$ respectively.
