The electric transport of the mixture of hydrochloric and phosphoric acids through strong base (Neosepta ACM) and weak base (Selemion AAV) anion-exchange membranes was investigated. The instantaneous efficiency of HCl removal from the cathode solution, $CE_{Cl}$, with and without $H_3PO_4$ was determined. It was found that $CE_{Cl}$ was 0.8-0.9 if the number of moles of elementary charge passed through the system, $n_F$, did not exceed ca. 80% of the initial number of HCl moles in the cathode solution, $n_{Cl,ca,0}$. The retention efficiency of $H_3PO_4$ in that range was close to one. The transport of acid mixtures was satisfactorily described by a model based on the extended Nernst-Planck and Donnan equations for $n_F$ not exceeding $n_{Cl,ca,0}$. Among the tested model parameters, most important were: concentration of fixed charges, the porosity-tortuosity coefficient, and the partition coefficient of an undissociated form of $H_3PO_4$. For the both membranes, the obtained optimal values of fixed charge concentration, $\bar{c}_m$, were up to 40% lower than the literature values of $\bar{c}_m$ obtained from the equilibrium measurements. Regarding the $H_3PO_4$ equilibria, it was sufficient to consider $H_3PO_4$ as a monoprotic acid.

On the setting of the half-space of the Euclidean n-space, we consider harmonic Bergman spaces and we also study properties of the reproducing kernel. Using covering lemma, we find some equivalent quantities. We prove that if lim$ lim\limits_{i\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\mu(K_r(zi))}{V(K_r(Z_i))}$ then the inclusion function $I : b^p\rightarrow L^p(H_n, d\mu)$ is a compact operator. Moreover, we show that if f is a nonnegative continuous function in $L^\infty and lim\limits_{Z\rightarrow\infty}f(z) = 0, then T_f$ is compact if and only if f $\in$ $C_{o}$ (H$_{n}$ ).

Cornis fructus have various biological effects and major chemical components have been tannins, saponins, ursolic acids, gallic acids, linoleic acids, morronisides, cornins and loganins. The main aim of the present study is measurment the effect of chloroform extract from Cornis fructus on proliferation inhibition and Cell death. Cells were cultured in the presence of chloroform extracts from Cornis fructus for 48 h. after 48h treatment of B16/F10 melanoma cells with chloroform extracts, the cells were observed a dose-dependent inhibitions of cell viability with cell death in their proliferation. the cells were estimated cell viability, cell number, total DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation in a dose-dependent manner. It also caused cell death as measured by cell morphology, DNA fragmentation and nucleus chromatin condensation. therefore, these results suggest that chloroform extracts from C. fructus is inhibitory proliferation and is related to cell death in this cells.

We researched separation of mixed waste acids with HF, $CH_3COOH$, $HNO_3$ that were produced during a semiconductor wafer process to recycle these acids. At first, we manufactured the fluoride compound in form of $Na_2SiF_6$ by precipitating HF using $NaNO_3$ and Si powder. The concentration of HF was reduced from the initial concentration of 127 g/L to 0.5 g/L with an HF recovery ratio of 99.5%. After the manufacture of $Na_2SiF_6$, the concentration of $HNO_3$ and $CH_3COOH$ demonstrated 502 g/L and 117 g/L respectively. Following these findings we added NaOH in this $CH_3COOH/HNO_3$ mixed acid in order to obtain pH=4. Next we separated the $CH_3COOH$ and recoverd it through the use of vaccum evaporation at -440 mmHg, $95^{\circ}C$. The concentration of the recovered $CH_3COOH$ was approximately 15% and the recovery ratio of $CH_3COOH$ was over 85%. We precipitated the $NaNO_3$ by cooling the concentrated solution to $20^{\circ}C$ with a $HNO_3$ recovery ratio of over 93%. We confirmed that only $Na_2SiF_6$ and $NaNO_3$ were manufactured by XRD analysis after drying these precipitants at $90^{\circ}C$. The precipitants demonstrated a purity of approximately 97% and 98% respectively. Therefore, the purity of the precipitants proved to be similar to that of commercial products.

The Lanyu is a miniature pig breed indigenous to Lanyu Island, Taiwan. It is distantly related to Asian and European pig breeds. It has been inbred to generate two breeds and crossed with Landrace and Duroc to produce two hybrids for laboratory use. Selecting sets of informative genetic markers to track the genetic qualities of laboratory animals and stud stock is an important function of genetic databases. For more than two decades, Lanyu derived breeds of common ancestry and crossbreeds have been used to examine the effectiveness of genetic marker selection and optimal approaches for individual assignment. In this paper, these pigs and the following breeds: Berkshire, Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire, Meishan and Taoyuan, TLRI Black Pig No. 1, and Kaohsiung Animal Propagation Station Black pig are studied to build a genetic reference database. Nineteen microsatellite markers (loci) provide information on genetic variation and differentiation among studied breeds. High differentiation index ($F_{ST}$) and Cavalli-Sforza chord distances give genetic differentiation among breeds, including Lanyu's inbred populations. Inbreeding values ($F_{IS}$) show that Lanyu and its derived inbred breeds have significant loss of heterozygosity. Individual assignment testing of 352 animals was done with different numbers of microsatellite markers in this study. The testing assigned 99% of the animals successfully into their correct reference populations based on 9 to 14 markers ranking D-scores, allelic number, expected heterozygosity ($H_E$) or $F_{ST}$, respectively. All miss-assigned individuals came from close lineage Lanyu breeds. To improve individual assignment among close lineage breeds, microsatellite markers selected from Lanyu populations with high polymorphic, heterozygosity, $F_{ST}$ and D-scores were used. Only 6 to 8 markers ranking $H_E$, $F_{ST}$ or allelic number were required to obtain 99% assignment accuracy. This result suggests empirical examination of assignment-error rates is required if discernible levels of co-ancestry exist. In the reference group, optimum assignment accuracy was achievable achieved through a combination of different markers by ranking the heterozygosity, $F_{ST}$ and allelic number of close lineage populations.

In this work, the effect of a direct oxyfluorination on surface and mechanical interfacial properties of PAN-based carbon fibers is investigated. The changes of surface functional groups and chemical composition of the oxyfluorinated carbon fibers are determined by FT-IR and XPS measurements, respectively. ILSS of the composites is also studied in terms of oxyfluorination conditions. As a result, FT-IR exhibits that the carboxyl/ester groups (C=O) at 1632 $cm^{-1} and hydroxyl group (O-H) at 3450 $cm^{-1} are observed in the oxyfluorinated carbon fibers. Especially, the oxyfluorinated carbon fibers have a higher O-H peak intensity than that of the fluorinated ones. XPS result also shows that the surface functional groups, including C-O, C=O, HO-C=O, and C-$F_x$ after oxyfluorination are formed on the carbon fiber surfaces, which are more efficient and reactive to undergo an interfacial reaction to matrix materials. Moreover, the formation of C-$F_x$ physical bonding of the carbon fibers with fluorine increases the surface polarity of the fibers, resulting in increasing ILSS of the composites. This is probably due to the improvement of interfacial adhesion between fibers and matrix resins.

A 40-channel superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) system was constructed for measuring neuromagnetic fields. Main features of the system are the use of double relaxation oscillation SQUIDs (DROSs), and planar gradiometers measuring magnetic field components tangential to the head surface. The DROSs with high flux-to-voltage transfers enabled direct readout of the SQUID output by room-temperature dc preamplifiers and simple flux-locked loop circuits could be used for SQUID operation. The pickup coil is an integrated first-order planar gradiometer with a baseline of 40 mm. Average noise level of the 40 channels is around 1.2 $fT/cm/{\surd}Hz$ at 100 Hz, corresponding to a field noise of 5 $fT/{\surd}Hz$, operated inside a magnetically shielded room. The SQUID insert was designed to have low thermal load, minimizing the loss of liquid helium. The constructed system was applied to measure auditory-evoked neuromagnetic fields.

By developing a linear algebra program involving many different structures associated to a three-graded H*-algebra, it is shown that if L is a Lie triple automorphism of an infinite-dimensional topologically simple associative H*-algebra A, then L is either an automorphism, an anti-automorphism, the negative of an automorphism or the negative of an anti-automorphism. If A is finite-dimensional, then there exists an automorphism, an anti-automorphism, the negative of an automorphism or the negative of an anti-automorphism F : A $\rightarrow$ A such that $\delta$:= F - L is a linear map from A onto its center sending commutators to zero. We also describe L in the case of having A zero annihilator.

$NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ has been studied with X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnet-ometer(VSM). The alloys were prepared by arc-melting under an argon atmosphere. The $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ contains some $\alpha-Fe$, from X-ray and Mossbauer measurements. The $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ has the $ThMn_{12}$-type tetragonal struc-ture with $a_{0}=8.607{\AA}\;and\;c_{0}=4.790{\AA}$. The Curie temperature ($T_c$) of the $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ is 590 K from $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy performed at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 800 K. Each spectrum below $T_c$ was fitted with six subspectra of Fe sites in the structure$(8i_{1},\;8i_{2},\;8j_{2},\;8j_{1},\;8f\;and\;{\alpha}-Fe)$. The area fractions of the subspectra at room temperature are 13.8%, 15.4%, 17%, 16.4%, 34.1% and 3.3%, respectively. Magenetic hyperfine fields for the Fe sites decrease in the order, $H_{hf}(8i)>H_{hf}(8j)>H_{hf}(8f)$. The abrupt changes in the magnetic hyperfine field, isomer shift and magnetic moment observed at about 180 K in $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ are attributed to spin reorientation.
