Concerned with ambiguous stereochemistry assignment of natural (+)-glabridin, absolute configurations of (${\pm}$)-glabridin enantiomers were studied with synthetic glabridin. Synthetic glabridin enantiomers were separated by semi-preparative Sumi-chiral column chromatography, and characterized by UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy. Three-dimensional molecular structure of glabridin was obtained as equatorial Ph-3 half chair chroman ring from semi-empirical PM3 calculation, and refined by coupling constants in $^1H$ NMR spectrum. Finally, absolute configurations of two enantiomers were determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy based on the empirical helicity rules. Absolute configuration of natural (+)-glabridin was confirmed as (R)-glabridin, as known.

For the analysis of solids containing a number of microinclusions or microvoids, in which the mechanical effect of each inclusion or void, a numerical approach is need to be developed to understand the mechanical behavior of damaged solids containing these defects. In this study, the simulation method using the natural element method is proposed for the analysis of effective elastic moduli. The mechanical effect of each inclusion or void is considered by controlling the material constants for Gaussian points. The relationship between area fraction of microinclusions or microvoids and effective elastic moduli is studied to verify the validity of the proposed method. The obtained results are in good agreement with the theoretical results such as differential method, self-consistent method, Mori-Tanaka method, as well as the numerical results by rigid body spring model.

The effect of imperatorin on hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidases (MF0) was investigated. On acute treatment, imperatorin (30 mg/kg, i.p) caused a significant reduction in activities of hepatic aminopyrine N-demethylase, hexobarbital hydroxylase and aniline hydroxylase as well as cytochrome p0450 content in rats and mice. Kinetic studies on rat liver enzymes revealed that imperatorin appeared to be a competitive inhibitor of aminopyrine N-demethylase (Ki,0.007 mM), whereas a non-competitive inhibitor of hexobarbital hydroxylase (Ki, 0.0148 mM). Imperatorin also inhibited non-competitively aniline metabolism (Ki 0.2 mM). Imperatorin binds to phenobarbital-induced cytochrome p-450 to give a typical type 1 binding sepctrum (max. 388nm, min 422 nm). Multiple administrations of imperatorin (30 mg/kg. i. p. daily for 7 days) to mice shortended markedly the duration of hexobarbital narcosis and increased activities of hepatic aminopyrine N-demethylase and hexobarbital hydroxylase and the level of cytochrome p-450 where as aniline hydroxylase activity was unaffected.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of truncated conical shell with uniform thickness by the transfer influence coefficient method. The classical thin shell theory based upon the $Fl\ddot{u}gge$ theory is assumed and the governing equations of a conical shell are written as a coupled set of first order differential equations using the transfer matrix. The Runge-Kutta-Gill integration and bisection method are used to solve the governing differential equations and to compute the eigenvalues respectively. The natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are calculated numerically for the truncated conical shell with any combination of boundary conditions at the edges. And all boundary conditions and the intermediate supports between conical shell and foundation could be treated only by adequately varying the values of the spring constants. Numerical results are compared with existing exact and numerical solutions of other methods.

The catalytic efficiency of pyranose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.10.) determined for various sugars showed that D-glucose is the preferred substrate and the enzyme oxidized the various aldonolactones. The specificity constants of pyranose oxidase determined for deoxy- and deoxyfluoro-D-glucoses showed that a hydroxy group at C-4 of D-glucose acts as a hydrogen-bone acceptor, at C-6 as a hydrogen-bond donor, and at C-1 as a hydrogen-bond donor.(omitted)

A certain amount of MBS rubber was added to improve toughness of PVC which has a strong tendency of being brittle, producing a mixture, PVC/MBS, from which test specimens were prepared. PVC has strong chemical resistance, oil resistance, frame retardancy and high mechanical strength. Also, it is relatively inexpensive to produce, but shows weakness to impact and difficult for processing. MBS, a typical toughening agent for PVC is generally known, when added in a small amount, to improve impact resistance and to minimize difficulties during the processing of the PVC without adversely affecting the positive aspects of the PVC. In this investigation, attempts were made to observe and determine the variations in elastic and damping constants of the PVC depending on the amounts of MBS added to the mixture, PVC/MBS, and also on the thicknesses of the specimens. An acoustic resonance technique was used for the tests in this investigation. It serves as a method to characterize properties of materials set in vibrational motions, which is initiated by low level stresses generated by externally supplied acoustic energy. Substantial variations were observed in the test results with the addition of the MBS to the PVC. Generally, the magnitudes of elastic constants decrease while the damping capacity improves when MBS rubber was added.

Mercury accumulates in biota mainly as methylmercury. In nature, methylmercury shows high affinity to organic matter and $CH_3Hg^+$-organic matter complexation affects the mobility and bioavailabiity of methylmercury. In this study, we examined the methylmercury binding sites in an aquatic humic acid as affected by the pH condition using Hg $L_{III}$-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). We evaluated methylmercury binding humic ligands using methylmercury-thiol, methylmerury-carboxyl, and methylmercury-amine complexation models. When $CH_3Hg^+$-to-humic reduced sulfur ratio is 0.3, we found that most of $CH_3Hg^+$ binds to thiol ligands at pH 5 and 7. At pH 7, however, some carboxyl or amine ligand contribution is observed, unlike at pH 5 where $CH_3Hg^+$ almost exclusively binds to thiol ligands. The carboxyl or amine ligand contribution may indicate that some types of thiol ligands in the natural organic matter have relatively low complexation constants or acid dissociation constants compared to those of some carboxyl or amine ligands. Analysis results indicate that ~0.2 fraction of methylmercury binds to amine or carboxyl ligands and ~0.8 to thiol ligands at pH 7.

Carbonates are inorganic ligands that are abundant in natural groundwater. They strongly influence radionuclide mobility by forming strong complexes, thereby increasing solubility and reducing soil absorption rates. We characterized the spectroscopic properties of Am(III)-carbonate species using UV-Vis absorption and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The deconvoluted absorption spectra of aqueous Am(CO₃)₂^- and Am(CO₃)₃^3- species were identified at red-shifted positions with lower molar absorption coefficients compared to the absorption spectrum of aqua Am³⁺. The luminescence spectrum of Am(CO₃)₃^3- was red-shifted from 688 nm for Am³⁺ to 695 nm with enhanced intensity and an extended lifetime. Colloidal Am(III)-carbonate compounds exhibited absorption at approximately 506 nm but had non-luminescent properties. Slow formation of colloidal particles was monitored based on the absorption spectral changes over the sample aging time. The experimental results showed that the solubility of Am(III) in carbonate solutions was higher than the predicted values from the thermodynamic constants in OECD-NEA reviews. These results emphasize the importance of kinetic parameters as well as thermodynamic constants to predict radionuclide migration. The identified spectroscopic properties of Am(III)-carbonate species enable monitoring time-dependent species evolution in addition to determining the thermodynamics of Am(III) in carbonate systems.

천연수중에 들어간 구리 및 카드뮴이 천연수중의 각종물질들과 상호작용하여 어떤 화학종으로 존재하게 될 것인가를 예측하기 위하여 금속과의 착화반응에 관한 자료가 아직까지 잘 알려져 있지 않은 천연유기물과 구리 및 카드뮴간의 착화물의 안정도 상수를 측정하였다. 이온 선택성 전극을 사용하여 pH6에서 전위차 적정법으로 구한 천연유기물과 구리 및 카드뮴 간의 착화물의 안정도 상수는 각각 log $K'_{CuL} = 5.80,\;log K'_{CdL}=3.82$였다. 이 값을 MINEQL 컴퓨터 프로그램의 자료에 새로이 넣고 모델 하천수에 대하여 전연유기물의 존재를 고려했을 때와 고려하지 않았을 때의 구리 및 카드뮴의 화학종을 계산하여 비교 검토해 보았다. 천연유기물이 $10^{-6}M$ 정도만 있어도 구리와 착화물을 형성하였으며 카드뮴의 경우는 천연유기물이 $10^{-5}M$ 정도 있으면 착화물을 형성 함으로서 천연유기물이 금속들의 화학종 분포에 상당히 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다.

전도도법을 이용하여 $cis-[Co(en)(NH_3)_2Cl_2]^+$ 착이온의 아세톤-물 혼합용매에서 온도, 압력 및 용매의 조성변화에 따른 속도상수를 구하였다. 속도상수의 변화로 부터 열역학적 파라미터들을 구하여 이 반응의 메카니즘을 규명하고, 용매의 조성변화에 따른 반응속도상수의 변화를 조사하여 메카니즘을 재확인 하였다. 수화반응의 일차반응 속도상수는 1기압 25$^{\circ}$C의 순수물 용매에서는 3.47 ${\times}10^{-4}$/sec이고 압력이 증가할 수록 감소하였으며 온도가 10$^{\circ}$C 증가함에 따라 약 3배정도 증가하였다. 한편 아세톤의 함량이 증가할수록 반응속도 상수는 감소하였다. 이 반응의 활성화 부피는 2.82~$8.2cm^3$/mole이며 활성화압축률과 활성화엔트로피는 작은 값들을 나타내므로 이 반응의 메카니즘은 전이상태에서 리간드인 $Cl^-$이온이 중심금속에서 떨어지는 것이$H_2O$가 결합하는 것보다 우세한$I_d$메카니즘일 것으로 추정하였다. 또한 Grunwald-Winstein식에서 구한 m값이 0.25정도로써 이미 $I_d$메카니즘으로 알려진 다른 코발트 착물의 값들과 잘 일치하고 있다. 자유에너지순환도를 이용한 메카니즘의 재확인으로 이 반응착물의 수화는 $I_d$메카니즘으로 진행된다는 것을 확인하였다.
