Extinction characteristics of pure hydrogen-oxygen diffusion flames, at high pressures in the neighborhood of the critical pressure of oxygen, is numerically studied by employing counterflow diffusion flame as a model flame let in turbulent flames in rocket engines. The numerical results show that extinction strain rate increases almost linearly with pressure up to 100 atm, which can be explained by comparison of the chain-branching-reaction rate with the recombination-reaction rate. Since contributions of the chain-branching reactions, two-body reactions, are found to be much greater than those of the recombination reactions, three-body reactions, extinction is controlled by two-body reactions, thereby resulting in the linearity of extinction strain rate to pressure. Therefore, it is found that the chemical kinetic behaviors don't change up to 100 atm. Consideration of the pressure fall-off reactions shows a slight increase in extinction strain rate, but does not modify its linearity to pressure. The reduced kinetic mechanisms, which were verified at low pressures, are found to be still valid at high pressures and show good qualitative agreement in prediction of extinction strain rates. Effect of real gas is negligible on chemical kinetic behaviors of the flames.

Numerical study with momentum-balanced boundary conditions has been conducted to grasp chemical effects of added $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$ to fuel- and oxidizer-sides on flame structure and NO emission behavior in $CH_{4}$/Air counterflow diffusion flames. The dilution with $H_{2}O$ results in significantly higher flame temperatures and NO emission, but dilution with $CO_{2}$ has much more chemical effects than that with $H_{2}O$. Maximum reaction rate of principal chain branching reaction due to chemical effects decreases with added $CO_{2}$. but increases with added $H_{2}O$. The NO emission behavior is closely related to the production rate of OH, CH and N. The OH radical production rate increases with added $H_{2}O$ but those of CH, N decrease. On the other hand the production rates of OR CH and N decrease with added $CO_{2}$. It is found that NO emission behavior is considerably affected by chemical effects of added $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$.

Mathematically simplified reaction scheme that simulates autoignitions of the end gases in spark ignition engines has been studied computationally. The five equation model is described, to predict the essential features of hydrocarbon oxidation. This scheme has been calibrated against autoignition delay times measured in rapid compression machines. The rate constants, activation temperatures, Ta, Arrhenius preexponential constants, A, and heats of reaction for stoichiometric n-heptane/air, iso-octane/air, and their mixtures have all been optimised. The optimisation has been guided by Morley's correlation of the ratio of chain branching to linear termination rates with octane number. Comparisons between computed and experimental autoignition delay times have validated the Present simplified reaction scheme and the influences of octane number upon autoignition delay times have been computationally investigated. It has been found that both cool flame and high temperature direct reactions can have an effect on autoignition delay times.

Extinction characteristics and acoustic response of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are numerically studied by employing counterflow diffusion flame as a model flamelet in turbulent flames in combustion chambers. The numerical results show that extinction strain rate increases linearly with pressure and then decreases, and increases again at high pressures. Thus, flames are classified into three pressure regimes. Such nonmonotonic behavior is caused by the change in chemical kinetic behavior as pressure rises. The investigation of acoustic-pressure response in each regime, for better understanding of combustion instability, shows different characteristics depending on pressure. At low pressures, pressure-rise causes the increase in flame temperature and chain branching/recombination reaction rates, resulting in increased heat release. Therefore, amplification in pressure oscillation is predicted. Similar phenomena are predicted at high pressures. At moderate pressures, weak amplification is predicted since flame temperature and chain branching reaction rate decreases as pressure rises. This acoustic response can be predicted properly only with detailed chemistry or proper reduced chemistry.

고상(solid state) 반응과 용융(melt state) 반응을 이용하여 장쇄분지(long chain branch, LCB)를 가지는 분지화된 폴리프로필렌(branched polypropylene, LCB-PP)을 제조하였다. 분지제(branching agent)로는 divinylbenzene (DVB), 1,4-benzenediol (RES), furfuryl sulphide (FS)가, LCB-PP/실리케이트 복합체를 제조하기 위해서는 층상 실리케이트가 사용되었다. LCB-PP의 화학구조, 열적특성, 유변학적 특성을 적외선 분광기(FT-IR), 시차주사열용량분석기(DSC, TGA), 그리고 동적유변측정기(ARES)를 이용하여 분석하였다. LCB-PP의 화학구조는 $3100cm^{-1}$에서 나타나는 분지제의 =C-H 신축진동을 이용하여 확인하였다. DSC와 TGA의 결과로부터 고상반응보다 용융반응이 LCB-PP 제조에 보다 효과적이었고, 유변학적 특성을 통하여 추가 확인되었다. 분지제 중에서는 FS가 가장 효과적이었다. LCB-PP의 경우 낮은 전단속도 영역에서 점도와 shear thinning tendency가 증가하였고, G'-G" plot으로부터 탄성특성의 증가와 LCB의 도입에 의한 용융상태의 불균일성(heterogeneousness)을 확인할 수 있었다. LCB-PP/실리케이트 복합체의 실리케이트 함량에 따른 유변학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 실리케이트의 함량이 5 wt%인 경우 면찰 담화(shear thinning)와 G'-G" plot에서의 기울기 변화가 가장 크게 나타났다.

장쇄분지(long chain branch, LCB)를 가지는 분지화된 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)이 세 종류의 분지제(branching agent)를 이용하여 고상(solid state)에서 제조하였다. 분지화된 PP의 화학구조, 비등온결정화 거동 및 복합점도를 적외선분광기(FTIR), 시차주사열용량분석기(DSC), 광학현미경 그리고 동적유변측정기(ARES)를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 분지화된 PP의 화학구조는 3100 $cm^{-1}$에서 나타나는 분지제의 =C-H 신축진동을 이용하여 확인하였다. PP-D-0-3과 PP-F-0-3의 경우 순수 PP와 비교하여 용융온도에 큰 변화를 보이지 않은 반면 HQ를 사용한 경우에는 용융온도의 감소를 나타내었다. 이는 분지화 반응보다 분해반응이 우세하여 나타나는 현상으로 해석되고, 복합점도의 감소를 통해 확인하였다. 분지화된 PP의 비등온결정화 거동은 Avrami 방정식을 이용하여 분석하였다. PP의 Avrami 지수는 3의 값을 나타내었고, DVB와 FS로 처리된 분지화 PP의 경우는 3보다 약간 작은 값을 나타내었다. Kissinger 방법에 의해서 계산된 분지화 PP의 활성화에너지는 순수 PP의 25 kJ/mol과 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

In this paper we have investigated the surface degradation by ultraviolet-irradiation in high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. Through the measurement of surface potential decay by corona-charging and of contact angle it is found that the change of surface electrostatic properties and the decrease of contact angle under UV-radiation. For the changes in micro-morphological and chemical structure of the UV-treated silicone rubber we utilized several analytical techniques such as SEM, ATR-FTIR,XPS. From this study it is shown that the chemical reactions(scissoring of side chain(S-$CH_3$) cross-linking and branching) occur on the surface of silicone rubber during the UV-irradiation. Also we obtained the results of the loss of low molecular weight chain by cross-linking and oxidation reaction.

Phytoplasmas were identified from two chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) plants showing different symptoms ; one with stusting, rosette, and excessive branching (Ph-ch1), and the other with stunting and chlorosis (Ph-ch2). Electron microscopy of midrib of the plants with the symptoms revealed that numerous phytoplasmas were localized in the phloem cells. The disease was transmitted from infected plants to healthy ones by grafting. Phytoplasma-specific DNA was detected in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with template DNA extracted from the leaves of Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2, both of which yielded a same DNA band corresponding to 1.5 kb. Using a specific primer pair (R16F1/R1) synthesized based on aster yellows (AY) phytoplasma, a DNA fragment of 1.1 kb was amplified by PCR. Endonuclease restriction patterns of the 1.1 kb PCR products from Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2, which were dgeste with each of the restriction endonucleases Sau3A, Hha, Alu and Rsa, were same as those of AY phytoplasma from periwinkle. This suggests that the chrysanthemum plants (Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2) be infected with a phytoplasma belonging to AY phytoplasma.

Acoustic pressure response and NO formation of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are numerically studied by employing counterflow diffusion flame as a model flame let in turbulent flames in combustion chambers. The numerical results show that extinction strain rate increases linearly with pressure and then decreases, and increases again at high pressures. Thus, flames are classified into three pressure regimes. Such non-monotonic behavior is caused by the change in chemical kinetic behavior as pressure rises. Acoustic pressure response in each regime is investigated based on the Rayleigh criterion. At low pressures, pressure-rise causes the increase in flame temperature and chain branching/recombination reaction rates, resulting in increased heat release. Therefore, amplification in pressure oscillation is predicted. Similar phenomena are predicted at high pressures. At moderate pressures, weak amplification is predicted. Emission index of NO shows similar behaviors as to the peak-temperature variation with pressure.

A gene (sll0158) putatively encoding a glycogen branching enzyme (GBE, E.C. 2.4.1.18) was cloned from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, and the recombinant protein expressed and characterized. The PCR-amplified putative GBE gene was ligated into a pET-21a plasmid vector harboring a T7 promoter, and the recombinant DNA transformed into a host cell, E. coli BL21(DE3). The IPTG-induced enzymes were then extracted and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The putative GBE gene was found to be composed of 2,310 nucleotides and encoded 770 amino acids, corresponding to approx. 90.7 kDa, as confirmed by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS analyses. The optimal conditions for GBE activity were investigated by measuring the absorbance change in iodine affinity, and shown to be pH 8.0 and $30^{\circ}C$ in a 50 mM glycine-NaOH buffer. The action pattern of the GBE on amylose, an $\alpha$-(1,4)-linked linear glucan, was analyzed using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) after isoamylolysis. As a result, the GBE displayed $\alpha$-glucosyl transferring activity by cleaving the $\alpha$-(1,4)-linkages and transferring the cleaved maltoglycosyl moiety to form new $\alpha$-(1,6)-branch linkages. A time-course study of the GBE reaction was carried out with biosynthetic amylose (BSAM; $M_p{\cong}$8,000), and the changes in the branch-chain length distribution were evaluated. When increasing the reaction time up to 48 h, the weight- and number-average DP ($DP_w$ and $DP_n$) decreased from 19.6 to 8.7 and from 17.6 to 7.8, respectively. The molecular size ($M_p$, peak $M_w{\cong}2.45-2.75{\times}10^5$) of the GBE-reacted product from BSAM reached the size of amylose (AM) in botanical starch, yet the product was highly soluble and stable in water, unlike AM molecules. Thus, GBE-generated products can provide new food and non-food applications, owing to their unique physical properties.
