The lyotropic behaviors to form the structure of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC)-based liquid crystal (LC) hydrated by only propylene glycol (PG) without water were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractions (XRD), polarized microscope (PM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). By increasing the amount of PG instead of water, it showed the phase transition to be gradually changed from anisotropic structures to other structures more close to isotropic ones and their appearance to be changed from solid-like states to liquid-like ones with more fluidity. Below 50% w/w PG, the mixtures of DSPC and PG resulted in no direct observation of LC structure through PM because they were very close to solid-states. From 55% w/w to 90% w/w of PG, the dense lamella crystalline structures were observed through PM, and their thickness and area decreased as the content of PG increased. Measured by DSC with heating process, the main phase transition from α -lamella phase to isotropic phase appeared from 52.89 °C to 47.41 °C to show linearly decreasing behaviors because PG affects the hydrophobic region of DSPC-based lamella phase. The repeating distance of the lamella phase and the interlayer distance between bilayers were calculated with XRDs and the average number of bilayers related to the thickness in LC structure was approximately estimated by combining with TEM results. The WAXS and DSC measurements showed that all of PG molecules contributed to swelling both the lipid layer in the edge region of lamella phase close to phosphate groups and the interlayer between bilayers below 90% w/w of PG. The phase and thermal behaviors were found to depend on the amount of PG used by means of dissolving DSPC as a phospholipid and rearranging its structure. Instead of water, the inducement of PG as a polar solvent in solid-lamella phase is discussed in terms of the swelling effect of PG for DSPC-based lamella membrane.

Two different electronically resonant two-dimensional spectroscopies are described. The first, two-color photon echo peak shift spectroscopy, is sensitive to correlations in transition frequency between the initial and probed (final) states. It provides new insight into the mechanism of ultrafast solvation and should prove useful for characterizing dynamics in inhomogeneous systems in general. The second technique, fifth order threepulse scattering, contains two coherence periods whose durations are controlled. The entire two-dimensional surface was recorded for a dye molecule in dilute solution and a photosynthetic light-harvesting complex. The data provide insight into the short-time dynamics of solvation and exciton relaxation, respectively.

An efficient diagnostic approach for real-time operation aiding expert system in chemical process plants is discussed. The approach is based on the hybrid of the simplified symptom tree(SST) and the fault consequence digraph(FCD), representation of propagation patterns of fault states. The SST generates fault hypothesis efficiently and the FCD resolve the real fault accurately. Frame based knowledge representation and object-oriented programming make diagnostic system general and efficient. Truth maintenance system enables robust pattern matching and provides enhanced explain facilities. A prototype expert system for supports operation of naphtha furnaces process, called OASYS, has been built and tested to demonstrate this methodology. Utilization of diversified process symbolic data, produced using dynamic normal standards, overcomes the problem of qualitative Boolean reasoning and enhance the applicability.

Collagen의 model compound인 poly(Gly-Pro-Pro)의 수화에 관해서 empirical ppotential energy 함수를 사용하여 이론적으로 연구하였다. 물 분자와 model compound 간의 상호작용 energy를 최소화시켜서 물 분자들의 위치와 결합 energies를 계산하였다. 다음에는 일차수화층에 물이 붙음으로써 생기는 안정화 energy를 계산하고, 전체 안정화에 기여하는 여러 energy components의 기여도에 대해 논의하였다.

We report here the surface behavior of zirconium oxide deposited on Si(100) substrate depending on the different substrate temperatures. The zirconium oxide thin films were successfully deposited on the Si(100) surfaces applying radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering process. The obtained zirconium oxide films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for study about the chemical environment of the elements, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for check the crystallinity of the films, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) technique for measuring the thickness of the films, and the morphology of the films were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM). We found that the oxidation states of zirconium were changed from zirconium suboxides ($ZrO_{x,y}$, x,y < 2) (x; higher and y; lower oxidation state of zirconium) to zirconia ($ZrO_2$), and the surface was smoothed as the substrate temperature increased.

Photoinduced electron transfer of C60 has been studied by the laser photolysis measuring the transient absorption bands in near-IR region. The electron transfer aromatic amines via the triplet state of C60 is confirmed by the decay of the transient absorption bands of the triplet state of C60 and the rise of the anion radical of C60 and the cation radicals of amines. The rate and efficiency of electron transfer are strongly affected by the donor ability of amines and polarity of solvents. Back electron-transfer kinetics is also strongly affected by the solvent polarity.

In this paper, cobalt embedded in nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon nanotubes (CoNSTs) were synthesized for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. The CoNSTs were prepared through a facile heat treatment method without any templates. Different amounts of the metal salt were employed to examine the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the CoNSTs. The CoNSTs showed the bamboo-like tube morphology with the encased Co nanoparticles in the tubes. Through the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the catalysts exhibited different chemical states of the nitrogen and sulfur species. As a result, the CoNST performed high activity toward the ORR in an acidic condition with the onset potential of 0.863 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode). It was clearly demonstrated from the electrochemical characterizations that the quality of the nitrogen and sulfur species significantly influences the ORR activity rather than the total amount of the dopants.

Parr의 Integral Hellmann-Feynman이론을 비대각꼴에 까지 일반화하여 의의를 갖도록 하였으며 그 특징을 논하였다. 그리하여 이 비대각꼴을 결정장론에 미치는 배치작용의 효과를 검토하는데 적용함으로서, 모든 차의 섭동 에너지를 하나의 묶음으로서 도입하였다. 그 결과 ${\Gamma}$, S 및 m로 특징지워지는 상태들에게, 파라미터화 할 수 있는 공통적인 동경적분이 존재하지 않음을 밝혔다. 그러나 만일 각 성분에 변형이 없고 동경성분에게 동등한 변형만이 있는 여기된 배치들의 작용만을 허락한다면, 이는 고전적인 결정장론에서 결정장 파라메터 10 Dq와 Condon-Slater 적분 $F^n$의 척도를 변경시키는 결과를 초래함을 알게 되었다.

Two simple algorithm modifications are made to the THRASH data retrieval program with the aim of improving analysis speed for complex Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectra. Instead of calculating the least-squares fit for every charge state in the backup charge state determination algorithm, only some charge states are pre-selected based on the plausibility values obtained from the FT/Patterson analysis. Second, a modification is made to skip figure-of-merit (FOM) calculations in the central m/z region between two neighboring peaks in isotopic cluster distributions, in which signal intensities are negligible. These combined modifications result in a significant improvement in the analysis speed, which reduces analysis time as much as 50% for ubiquitin (8.6 kDa, 76 amino acids) FTICR MS and MS/MS spectra at the reliability (RL) value = 0.90 and five pre-selected charge states with minimal decreases in data analysis quality (Table 3).
