The interaction of cationic surfactants, n-alkyltrimethylammonium bromide ($C_nTAB$; n = 12, 14, 16) with anionic polyelectrolyte, poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) has been studied by surface tension measurement. In the absence of added salt, the cationic surfactants bind to PSS quantitatively up to ca. 60% coverage of anionic sites of the polyanion and the complexes were surface inactive. Further binding of the surfactant cations on PSS caused a sharp conformational transition of the surfactant/ PSS complexes to surface active complexes and accompanied precipitation. The binding showed a biphasic behavior in the presence of NaCl and cooperativity of the binding became less as the concentration of NaCl increased. Binding of the cationic surfactants on poly(vinylsulfonate) also showed the biphasic behavior and the cooperativity of the binding was much less even in the absence of NaCl. The binding of surfactant to PSS provided hydrophobic environment to solubilized pyrene and reduced the viscosity of the solution greatly even at surfactant concentrations well below cmc. This study indicated that the surfactant bound to PSS up to $60{\%}$ coverage of PSS sites are present as surfactant aggregates which are wrapped up with PSS chains, and hydrophobic interaction is an important factor in the binding of the surfactants to PSS.

In order to estimate the optimum fertilizer level for rice, a major food crop, the experimental results obtained from the fertilizer trials conducted at 642 experimental sites(farmers' fields) throughout the country for the period from 1976 to 1979 were examined. Since non-significant interactions among fertilizers have been ovserved from the past experiences, only thirteen treatments(combinations of fertilizer levels) for the experiments as given in the Table 1 were chosen such that simple response curves can be fitted with independent variables being N, $P_2O_5, and K_2O$. Weighted combining analysis of variance was also carried out for each type of paddy fields to test the significance of Treatments $\times$ Experimental sites interaction, and highly significant variability in response to treatments among experimental sites in the same type of paddy fields was observed in most types of fields. For the types of paddy fields where the treatments $\times$ experimental sites interaction was not significant, separate response curves for N, $P_2O_5, and K_2O$ were estimated on the basis of the mean yields of rice, and common values of the optimum levels of fertilizers were extimated thereform. When the interaction is significant, response curves were fitted for each experimental sites. The average fertilizer doses estimated for the types of paddy fields based on the individual sites are given in Tables 7-1 and 7-2.

We have calculated the reduced spontaneous magnetization in different environments and average value as func¬tion of reduced temperature of the magnetic ions(Fe) for A(tetrahedral) and B(octahedral) sites in spinel ferrites $AB_{2}O_{4}$ using A-O-B superexchange interaction. The reduced spontaneous magnetization and average value by A-O-B superexchange interaction are compared with that by A-B direct interaction. To contrast A-O-B superexchange interaction with A-B direct interaction, $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra from previous two interactions are obtained.

Binding of N-Alkyl phenothiazines (NAP) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by spectroscopic methods.It was found that the phenothiazine ring common to all drugs makes major contribution to interaction. However, the nature of alkylamino group at position 10 influences the protein binding significantly. Stern-Volmer plots indicated the presence of static component in the quenching mechanism. The high magnitude of rate constant of quenching indicated that the process of energy transfer occurs by intermolecular interaction and thus the drug-binding site is in close proximity to tryptophan residues of BSA. Binding studies in presence of hydrophobic probe, 8-anilino-1-naphthalein-sulphonic acid showed that there is hydrophobic interaction between drug and the probe and they do not share common sites in BSA. Thermodynamic parameters obtained from data at different temperatures showed that the binding of NAP to BSA predominantly involve hydrophobic forces. The effects of some cations and anions common ions were investigated on NAP-BSA interactions. The CD spectrum of BSA in presence of drug showedthat binding of drug leads to change in the helicity of the protein.

In the field of earthquake engineering, recent improvements in many areas, such as seismological source modeling, analysis of travel path effects, and characterization of local site effects on strong shaking, have led to significant advances in both code-based and more advanced procedures for evaluating earthquake ground motions. A missing link, however, is empirically verified design procedures fur assessing the effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI). Available Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) analysis techniques range from simple substructure-type procedures to relatively sophisticated finite element procedures. The most common substructure approach for foundation-soil interaction is to use a frequency-dependent and complex-valued impedance function. This study uniquely evaluates impedance functions for two well-instrumented sites w significant inertial SSI effects using a system Identification technique. The system identification analysis results are then compared to predictions from a simple theoretical model to gain insight into the inertial interaction effect in the subject sites.

In stressed power system due to the presence of increased nonlinearity and the existence of nonlinear modal interactions. there exist some limitations to the use of conventional linear system theory to identify the optimum sites for a controller. This paper suggests an approach based on the method of normal forms to identify the optimum sites for controllers with incorporating the nonlinear interaction . In this paper, nonlinear participation factors and coupling factors are proposed as measures of the nonlinear interactions, and identification procedure of optimum sites for a controller is also proposed. The proposed procedure is applied to the 10-generator New England System and the KEPCO System in the year of 2010, and the results illustrate its capabilities.

This research studied the interactions of online communities, reward, commitment and loyalty to purchase intention in portal sites based on relevant theories. Data were collected from the users who had purchase experiences in potal sites to analyze the effects of interactions and loyalty. An empirical analysis regarding the hypothesized structural equation model was performed using SPSS 10.0 and PLS Graph 3.0. As the result, the interactivity of communities was found significant to commitment and loyalty, the reward of community was shown to significantly influence commitment, but not loyalty. And the commitment and loyalty of community were shown to have much effects on purchase intention. Finally, trust on portal sites were found to have an interaction effect on purchase intention.

To investigate the protein binding characteristics of cephalothin, the effects of ionic strength, pH and temperature on the binding of cephalothin to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by UV difference spectrophotometric method. With increasing ionic strength at constant PH and temperature, association constant decreased, but the number of binding sites sites was about 2 constantly. It may be deduced that the binding process is not only due to electrostatic forces. And the increased association constant at high ionic strength is explained by conformational changes of BSA from complex to subunits. The pH effect on the affinity of interaction indicated that the binding affinity of drug is higher in the neutral region than in the alkaline region. And, at high pH value, the number of binding sites decreased from 2 to 1 because of the conformational changes of BSA in alkaline region. The decrease in binding affinity of BSA to drug with increasing temperature was characteristic of an exothermic reaction. And the negative sign of ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ meant that the binding process occurs spontaneously under the experimental conditions. In cephalothin-BSA complex formation, since the net enthalpy change value and entropy change value are positive, it is assumed that hydrophobic bindings are predominant in this binding process.
