Various TSH RIA kit components were prepared. Conditions for $^{125}I$ labelling of h-TSH were optimized by diminishing the amount of chloramine-T, ertending reaction time and lowering reaction temperature. Yield, specific activity, and immunological activity could be maintained moderately under such mild reaction conditions. The mixture of polyethyleneglycol(PEG) and second antibody worked effectively as a B/F separation agent. Even though the mixture was made with more diluted PEG and second antibody than those of using the sole component separately, the tine required for the B/F separation was shorter in case of using the mixture. The sequential saturation technique was efficient than those of applying ordinary equilibrium saturation technique in assay sensitivity and assay precision points of view.

Phase mixtures of Titanium boride, nitride, and carbide powder were produced by the reduction of a mixture of titanium and boron oxides with carbon via a gas-solid phase reaction. Boron oxides produce a vapour phase or decompose to a metal sub-oxide gaseous species when reduced at elevated temperature. The mechanism of BO sub-oxide gas formation from $B_2O_3$ and its subsequent reduction to titanium diboride for the production of uniform size hexagonal platelets is explained. These gaseous phases are critical for the formation of boride, nitride and carbide ceramics. For the production of ceramic phase composite microstructures, the nitrogen partial pressure was the most critical factor. Some calculated equilibrium phase fields has been verified experimentally. The theoretical approach therefore identifies conditions for the formation of phase mixtures. The thermodynamic and kinetic factors that govern the phase constituents are also discussed.

Two contributions to the activation barrier of the $S_N2$ reaction, intrinsic and thermodynamic, are discussed in connection with the predictive power of various rate-equilibrium relationships. It has been shown that the PES models can only give correct predictions of changes in structure and energy of the transition state if the activation barrier is dictated by the thermodynamic factor. We concluded that the identity and dissociative $S_N2$ reactions are dominated by the intrinsic component while associative $S_N2$ reactions are predominantly of thermodynamic controlled. Thus in the former cases, the PES models fail, whereas in the latter cases predictions based on the intrinsic factor, the quantum mechanical models, fail. Finally in a general case of equal contributions by thermodynamic and intrinsic factors, the $SN_2$ reaction proceeds by a synchronous process with zero net charge on the reaction center, for which predictions of substituent effects will be the same as for the intrinsic control case.

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is related to the standard Gibbs free energy change. Since equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the activities of the chemical species, it is necessary to consider the non-ideal behavior of the solutes as ionic strength of the solution increases. In this paper, the derivation of Debye-$H{\ddot{u}}ckel$ limiting law and its modification by which the activity coefficient of an ion can be calculated was explained. Moreover, the method to obtain the activity coefficient of an ion from the experimentally determined mean activity coefficients of an electrolyte was explained.

Gas generator should be adopted either fuel rich or oxidizer rich combustion because of the temperature restriction to avoid any possible thermal damages to turbine blade. This study focuses to model the non-equilibrium chemical reaction of kerosene/LOx with detailed kinetics developed by Dagaut using Perfectly stirred reactor(PSR) assumption. To predict more reliable species fraction and other gas properties, Frenklach's soot model was added to Dagaut's detailed kinetics.

Intrinsic binding kinetics of of 125I-bovine serum albumin (125I-BSA) and immobilized monoclonal anti-BSA (MAb 9.1) were studied. Small non-porous polystyrene beads (0.5${\mu}$m diameter) were used as a solid support to minimize the mass transfer interference on rate measurements. We demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally that the binding reaction is kinetically controlled. Rate measurements show that the association reaction is of second order and the dissociation reaction is of first order. Between 4 and $37^{\circ}C$ the measured equilibrium constant agrees well with the equilibrium constant calculated from the rate measurements. The temperature effects on association are much greater than on dissociation; the activation energy for association is about 9Kca1/mole, as compared to 2Kca1/mole for dissociation. The use of small non-porous beads as a solid support in binding studies essentially avoids mass transfer limitations; such a system makes it possible to determine the intrinsic binding characteristics of any immobilized antibody on a solid surface.

Diglyceride (DG) was prepared by reaction of soybean oil and glycerol in the presence of lipase. The initial rate of DG production was greatly affected by the amount of lipase. However the DG content at equilibrium was hardly affected by the amount of lipase added to the reaction mixture. The initial rate of FFA formation was highly affected by the moisture content between 0.5 and 2.3%, but at higher water content (3.3-5.2%), there was a small increase in the rate. And DG content at equilibrium slowly increased with the increase of the water content in glycerol up to 4.4%. However, there was a sharp decrease in DG content at higher water content (5.2-6.4%) due to higher free fatty acid production. The highest yield of DC was obtained at the temperature ranges of 30-5$0^{\circ}C$. The final yield of DG was not dependent on the glycerol (GL) to triglyceride (TG) molar ratio. However, at the molar ratio of 0.75:1 (GL/TG), the enzyme-catalyzed reaction was highly efficient and utilized all the glycerol. In optimized conditions for glycerolysis a yield of approximately 45% DG was obtained. 66% of total DG was 1,3-DG.

This study investigated the effect of hydrogen permeance and selectivity, catalyst amount, $H_2O/CO$ ratio in a feed stream, and Ar sweep gas on the performance of a water gas shift reaction in a membrane reactor. It was observed that a minimum hydrogen selectivity of 100 was needed in a membrane reactor to obtain a hydrogen yield higher than the one at equilibrium and the hydrogen yield enhancement gradually decreased as the hydrogen permeance increased. The CO conversion in a membrane reactor initially increased with the catalyst amount and reached a plateau later for a membrane reactor with a low hydrogen permeance while the high CO conversion independent of a catalyst amount was observed for a membrane reactor with a high hydrogen permeance. For the $H_2O/CO$ ratio in a feed stream higher than 1.5, a hydrogen permeance had little effect on the CO conversion in a membrane reactor and it was found that a minimum Ar molar flow rate of $6.7{\times}10^{-6}mol\;s^{-1}$ was needed to achieve the CO conversion higher than the one at equilibrium in a membrane reactor.

Reaction of aniline and iodine in$CHCl_3,\;CH_2Cl_2 : CHCl_3$(1 : 1), and $CH_2Cl_2$ has been studied kinetically by using conductivity method, Pseudo first-order rate constants ($k_{obs}$) and second-order rate constants ($k_{obs}$/[aniline]) are dependent on the aniline concentration. Second-order rate constants obtained were increased with increasing aniline concentration. We analysed these results on the basis of formation of charge transfer complex as reaction intermediate. From the construction of react ion scheme and derivation of rate equation, we calculated equilibrium constants and activation parameters for the formation and transformation of charge transfer complex. The equilibrium constants were decreased by an increase in the dielectric constant of the solvent and the value is 1.7-3.7$M^{-1}$. The rate of transformation are markedly affected by the solvent polarity. ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ is about 14.2kJ/mol, and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ is large negative value of -243J/mol K.

Titanium hydride potassium perchlorate (THPP) is one of the commonly utilized pyrotechnic materials in aerospace industries. The current study elucidates the effects of hygrothermal aging on the combustion of THPP experimentally. First, applying the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and isocoversional method, both the delay of reaction start and decrease in maximum reaction rate were observed. The kinetics parameters tended to fluctuate depending the thermal reaction or intermediate product formation of THPP. Also, the oxidants decomposition and fuel oxidation phenomenon were discovered by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental heat from DSC data were verified as reasonable by comparing with the theoretical heat obtained utilizing both THPP formulation from XPS and NASA Chemical Equilibrium with Applications (CEA). Both data had identical variation trend, which expecially had the highest heat value at 10 weeks aged sample.
