Photocrosslinkable chalcone-epoxy compound comprising 1,3-bis-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone was synthe-sized for fabricating the photo-alignment layer of liquid crystals. Chalcone group was introduced into the main chain unit of the epoxy oligomer. We observed a photodimerization behavior and an optical anisotropy of this material by irradiation of a linearly polarized UV(LP-UV) light. With a trace amount of cationic photoinitiator (TRS-HFA), polymerization of epoxy groups was also conducted at the similar wavelength range used for photodimerization. Linearly polarized UV irradiation on the chalcone-epoxy films with cationic photoinitiator induced optical anisotropy of the film and the resultant film can be used for alignment layers for low molecular weight nematic liquid crystals.

하천의 수위와 유량에 대한 정확한 정보는 이수, 치수와 같은 수자원 관리에 있어서 가장 기본 물리량이며, 각종 물이용 분쟁 해결, 수공구조물의 설계, 하천의 유사량 산정 및 수리 수문모형의 개발, 검증을 위한 기초자료로 이용된다. 그러나 유량의 직접 계측은 많은 비용이 소요되며, 홍수시에는 계측이 불가능하다. 지속적인 유량자료의 실측은 얻는 것은 매우 어렵다. 따라서 최근 수치 모형을 이용하여 수위-유량 곡선을 예측하고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 복단면 및 불규칙한 하상을 갖는 개수로의 수위-유량 곡선 및 단위유량 예측모형을 개발하고자 한다. 수심 적분된 2차원 운동량 방정식으로부터 정상류와 등류 조건을 가정하여 지배방정식을 구성하였으며, Manning 조도계수를 사용하여 자갈 및 모래와 같은 하상재료에 의한 전단력을 산정한다. 또한 식생항력을 이용하여 홍수터 및 제방의 식생이 수위-유량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Gd1Ba2Cu3O9-x has been found to be a high Tc superconductor with a transitiion onset at 91K and zero resistance achieved at 87K. The structure as determined from x-ray diffraction is orthorhombic, with lattice constants b=3.842$\pm$0.002$\AA$, b=3.895$\pm$0.003$\AA$, and c=11.684$\pm$0.007$\AA$. The structural similarities between the Gd1Ba2Cu3O9-x compound and the well-studied single phase perovskite, Y1Ba2Cu3O9-x are discussed. A correlation between the observed x-ray spectrum and the effect of oxygen deficiencies in several of the unit cell planes is also discussed.

In this paper, it was attempted to analyze the optimal design of light emitting diode (LED), a source of back light unit (BLU). LED is beginning with commercialized red LED which is made by GaAsP compound semiconductor, and has been developed focusing on liquid crystal panel. In order to get the optimal design, optical simulation was made by analyzing luminosity shape, reflector angle, chip depth, and chip position of LED lighting. Final results show that the proposed LED characteristics were useful to increase light efficiency and it has been proven by distribution chart for actual exposed light on the light guide panel (LGP).

Good yields were usually obtained in Pd(O)-catalyzed Suzuki aryl-aryl coupling reaction, even when both coupling partners had an ortho tertiary benzamide functional group. The direct ortho functionalization of oligomeric tertiary benzamides at Snieckus condition is dependent on the chain length. Tertiary benzamide 1 can be o,o-dilithiated only by metal-halogen exchange of the 2,6-dihalo-compound. Bis-tertiary benzamide 9 can be o,o'-dilithiated with excess(4.1 equivalents) s-butyllithium/TMEDA as the lithiating agent. Tris-tertiary benzamide 21 is hard to o,o"-difunctionalize due to steric interactions among the tertiary benzamide functional groups, and due to steric interactions between these functional groups and others (if present) on the termini of the terphenyl unit.

The new ternary phase $UP_2S_6$ has been prepared and structurally characterized. The compound is isostructural with $ZrP_2S_6$ and $ThP_2S_6$ but is different from $TiP_2S_6$. The structure has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. $UP_2S_6$ crystallizes in the the tetragonal system $({C^2}_{4h}-P4_2/m,\;a=6.797(7)\;{\AA},\;c=9.738(12)\;{\AA})$ with two formula units in the unit cell. The structure can be described in terms of $U^{4+}$ and ${P_2S_6}^{4-}$ ions. This hexathiohypodiphosphate anion $({P_2S_6}^{4-})$ has ideally staggered conformation. The $U^{4+}$ cation is coordinated by 8 sulfur atoms in a slightly distorted dodecahedral geometry (42m). The distribution of sulfur atoms is very well optimized for this geometry.

The crystal structure of fenbufen was determined by X-ray diffraction techniuques. The compound was recrystallized in orthorhombic crystal system, space group $Pca2_1$ a = 31. 918(10), b = 5.550 (2), c = 15.078 (9) ${\AA}, D_m$= $1.26, {\D_x$= 1.264 g/$\textrm{cm}^3$, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares procedure to the final R value of 0.051 for 1780 independent reflections. Two molecules in the asymmetric unit are related by a pseudo center of symmetry and dimerized via O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The carbonyl group attached to the phenyl ring is nearly coplanar to the ring. In the crystal the molecules are arranged in paralle stacks in the a direction.

Transcription factors (TF) can bind tightly to specific DNA lesions formed by some anticancer agents. The formation these TF:(drug-modified DNA) complex may disrupt expression of genes critical for cell survival, and it was proved to be one of biochemical mechanisms of anticancer activity. Based on this model, we have designed programmable DNA Alkylating agents that can also attract TF, especially nuclear receptors. As a model compound, we designed drug molecules, RA-mustard and Am580-mustard, that enable to bind both retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and DNA by using molecular modeling techniques, and synthesized them by connecting chlorambucil and ligand for RAR with a linker unit.

Nitric oxide has high affinity for iron, and thus it can cause intracellular iron loss. We tested the idea that intracellular iron can be the primary target of NO toxicity by comparing the signaling mechanisms involved in cell death caused by iron depletion and that caused by NO. Treatment of HL-60 cells with a NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP), decreased the intracellular iron level rapidly as that observed with the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO). Iron chelators such as DFO and mimosine could induce death of human leukemic HL-60 cells by a mechanism requiring activation of p38 kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, caspase-3 and caspase-8. DFO and SNAP also caused release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Inhibition of p38 kinase by a selective inhibitor, SB203580, abolished the NO and DFO-induced cell death, release of cytochrome c, and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8, thus indicating that p38 kinase lies upstream in the cell death processes. In a parallel situation, the cells that are sensitive to NO showed similar sensitivity to DFO. Moreover, simultaneous addition of ferric citrate, an iron-containing compound, inhibited the SNAP and DFO-induced activation of caspases and also blocked the NO-mediated cell cycle arrest at $G_1$ phase. Collectively, our data implicate that the NO-induced cell death of tumor cells including HL-60 cells is mediated by depletion of iron and further suggest that activation of p38 kinase lies upstream of cytochrome c release and caspase activation involved in this apoptotic process.
