Ten (E)-and (Z)-isomers of 2-phenylcyclopropylamine (PCA), 1-Me PCA, 2-Me-PCA, N-Me-PCA, and N, N-diMe PCA and fifteen o-. m-, p- isomers of (E) PCA with substituents of Me, Cl, F, OMe, OH were synthesized in this laboratory and tested for the inhibition of rat brain mitochondrial MAO-A and MAO-B. The effects of substituents, their positions, and stereochemistry on the inhibition were assessed for the compounds with substituents at cyclopropyl and amino groups and QSAR analyses were performed using the potency data of ring-substituted compounds. The best correlated QSAR equations are as follows : pI$_{50}$ = 0.804 $\pi^2$-0.834 Blo-1.069 Blm + 0.334 Lp-1.709 HDp +7.897 (r = 0.945, s =0.211, F = 16.691, p = 0.000) for the inhibition of MAO-A;PI$_{50}$= 1.815$\pi$-0.825 $\pi^2$-1.203R + 0.900 Es$^2$ + 0.869 Es$^3$ + 0.796 Es$^4$-0.992 HDp + 0.562 HAo + 3.893 (r = 0.982, s =0.178, F = 23.351, p = 0.000) for the inhibition of MAO-B. Based on the potency difference between stereoisomers of cyclopropylamine-modified compounds and an QSAR cavity near para position, two hydrophobic carities interacting with Me group, a hydrophobic site near para position, and an amino group binding site and that in addition to the same two hydrophotic cavities, hydrophotic area, steric boundaries, hydrogen-acceptor site, and amino group binding site, another steric boundary near para position and a hydrogen donating site near ortho position constitute active sites of MAO-B.

Every non-associative algebra L corresponds to its symmetric semi-Lie algebra $L_{[,]}$ with respect to its commutator. It is an interesting problem whether the equality $Aut{non}(L)=Aut_{semi-Lie}(L)$ holds or not [2], [13]. We find the non-associative algebra automorphism groups $Aut_{non}\; \frac\;{(WN_{0,0,1}_{[0,1,r_1...,r_p])}$ and $Aut_{non-Lie}\; \frac\;{(WN_{0,0,1}_{[0,1,r_1...,r_p])}$ where every automorphism of the automorphism groups is the composition of elementary maps [3], [4], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. The results of the paper show that the F-algebra automorphism groups of a polynomial ring and its Laurent extension make easy to find the automorphism groups of the algebras in the paper.

This study was carried out to investigate the dimensional stability of wood treated with PEG for better utilization of domestic small-diameter logs. Four species of ring- porous wood(Quercus mongolica F_ISCH, Quercus variabilis B_LUME, Fraxinus rhynchophylla H_ANCE, Paulownia coreana U_YEKI,) and four species of diffuse-porous wood(Prunus sargentii R_EHDER, Betula davurica P_ALL, Populus tomentiglandulosa T. L_EE, Cornus controversa H_EMSLEY) were used for this experiment. The shrinkage of wood decreased with increasing the concentration of PEG. The shrinkage of diffuse- porous woods was lower than that of ring-porous woods. The weight gain increased in proportional to the PEG concentration. Diffuse-porous woods showed a little higher weight gain than ring-porous woods. Bulking effect also increased with increasing the PEG concentration, but was in inverse proportional to the molecular weight of PEG. Diffuse-porous woods showed higher bulking effect than ring-porous woods. Consequently, diffuse-porous woods showed better dimensional stability than ring- porous woods. It was considered that dimensional stability was affected by characteristics of wood such as vessel and tylosis, and density.

Mo2N/Mo double layer which is to be used for gate of the RMOS (refractory metal oxide semiconductor) and interconnection material has been formed by means of low temperature r.f. reactive sputtering in Ar and N2 mixture. The sheet .esistance of 1 000$\AA$Mo2 N/4000$\AA$Mofilm was about 1.20-1.28 ohms/square, which is about an order of magnitude lower than that of polysilicon film. The workfunction difference naE between MO2N/MO layer and (100) p-Si with 6-9 ohm'cm resistivity obtained from C-V plots was about -0.30ev, and the fixed charge density Qss/q in the oxide was about 2. Ix1011/cm2. To evaluate the signal transfer delay time per inverter stage, an integrated ring oscillator circuit consisting of 45-stage inverters was fabricated using the polysilicon gate NMOS process. The signal transfer delay time per inverter stage obtained in this experiment was about 0.8 nsec

Sulconazole nitrate, C18H16Cl3N3O3S, crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a=14.401(1), b=8.051(1), c=34.861(2) Å, β=95.9(1)°, g=0.58 mm-1, Dc=1.523 g/cm3, Dm=1.522 g/cm3, F(000)=1888.0, and z=8. Intensities for 2460 unique reflections were measured on a CAD4 diffractometer with graphited-monochromated Mo-Kα radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by full matrix least squares to a final R=0.071 for 2182 reflections (Io > 2σIo). The bond lengths and angles are comparable with the values found in the analogues imidazole derivatives. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring(A) and the p-chlorophenyl ring(B) are almost planar with different heights [dihedral angle 17.3°] while the imidazole ring(C) is nearly perpendicular to the two phenyl rings[dihedral angles about the two rings A, B are 110.8° and 96.1° respectively]. In order to understand the overall conformation we calculated the selected distances (l1, l2, l3) among the center of the three rings and considered the imaginary plan D[C(7), C(9) and C(16)]. The two polar group S(8) and N(19) do not have gauche conformation and l2 value (4.47 Å) is shorter than the other imidazole derivatives. One -NO3 group are hydrogen bonded the two neighbored sulconazole molecules. The molecular crystal packing is also formed by two hydrogen bondings and van der Waals forces.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M an R-module. In this paper, we associate a graph to M, say ${\Gamma}(M)$, such that when M = R, ${\Gamma}(M)$ is exactly the classic zero-divisor graph. Many well-known results by D. F. Anderson and P. S. Livingston, in [5], and by D. F. Anderson and S. B. Mulay, in [6], have been generalized for ${\Gamma}(M)$ in the present article. We show that ${\Gamma}(M)$ is connected with $diam({\Gamma}(M)){\leq}3$. We also show that for a reduced module M with $Z(M)^*{\neq}M{\backslash}\{0\}$, $gr({\Gamma}(M))={\infty}$ if and only if ${\Gamma}(M)$ is a star graph. Furthermore, we show that for a finitely generated semisimple R-module M such that its homogeneous components are simple, $x,y{\in}M{\backslash}\{0\}$ are adjacent if and only if $xR{\cap}yR=(0)$. Among other things, it is also observed that ${\Gamma}(M)={\emptyset}$ if and only if M is uniform, ann(M) is a radical ideal, and $Z(M)^*{\neq}M{\backslash}\{0\}$, if and only if ann(M) is prime and $Z(M)^*{\neq}M{\backslash}\{0\}$.

In order to study the role of residue in the active site of glutathione S-transferase (GST), Tyr 108 residue in human GST P1-1 was replaced with alanine, phenylalanine and tryptophan by site-directed mutagenesis to obtain mutants Y108A, Y108F and Y108W. These three mutant enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by affinity chromatography on immobilized GSH. The substitutions of Tyr108 significantly affected $K_m^{CDNB}$ and $K_m^{ETA}$, whereas scarcely affected $K_m^{GSH}$. The substitutions of Tyr108 also significantly affected $I_{50}$ of ETA, an electrophilic substrate-like compound. The effect of these substitutions on kinetic parameters and the response to inhibition suggests that tyrosine 108 in hGST P1-1 contributes to the binding of the electrophilic substrate and a major determinant in the binding of CDNB is the aromatic ring of Tyr108, not its hydroxyl group.

Novel chalcones were found as potent inhibitors of interleukin-5 (II-5). 1-(6-Benzyloxy-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propenone (2a, 78.8% inhibition at $50\;{\mu}M,\;IC_{50}=25.3\;{\mu}M$) was initially identified as a potent inhibitor of IL-5. This activity is comparable to that of budesonide or sophoricoside (1a). The benzyloxy group appears to be critical for the enhancement of the IL-5 inhibitory activity. To identify the role of this hydrophobic moiety, cyclohexyloxy (2d), cyclohexylmethoxy (2c), cyclohexylethoxy (2e), cyclohexylpropoxy (2f), 2-methylpropoxy (2g), 3-methylbutoxy (2h), 4-methylpentoxy (2i), and 2-ethylbutoxy (2j) analogs were prepared and tested for their effects on IL-5 bioactivity. Compounds 2c ($IC_{50}=12.6\;{\mu}M$), 2d ($IC_{50}=12.2\;{\mu}M$), and 2i ($IC_{50}=12.3\;{\mu}M$) exhibited the most potent activity. Considering the cLog P values of 2, the alkoxy group contributes to the cell permeability of 2 for the enhancement of activity, rather than playing a role in ligand motif binding to the receptor. The optimum alkoxy group in ring A of 2 should be one that provides the cLog P of 2 in the range of 4.22 to 4.67.

The cyclization reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N'-phenylthioureas 2 containingambident nucleophile was ex-amined in the combination of a variety ofbases and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl).N-(2-Hydroxyeth-yl) thioureas 2 were readily obtained in high yields from the reaction of the corresponding 1,2-aminoalcohols with phenyl isothiocyanate, avoiding the need for O-protection.The use of a one-pot reaction (NaOH/TsCl) was found to be most effective in producing the requisite 2-phenylaminothiazolines (S-cyclization) 3 in the case ofthioureas 2a-2e derived from N-unsubstituted aminoalcohols,while in the thioureas 2f and 2g prepared from N-substituted aminoalcohols the combination of Et3N and TsCl led to the S-cyclization products.

This study presents the concentrations of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) listed as priority pollutants by United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), in 98 sludges from 54 industrial wastewater treatment facilities of South Korea. The mean concentrations of ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$ were ranged from 32.5 ${\mu}g/kg-dw$ to 1189.3 ${\mu}g/kg-dw$ by industries, and the highest content was found in the petrochemical industry, followed by chemical, clothing manufacturing and dying, pulp and papermaking, secondary wastewater treatment, and food/beverage producing industries. Comparisons to the EU and Danish standards of ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$ in sewage sludge for land application showed only two samples (one from petrochemical, and the other from chemical industry) exceeded the limits. ANOVA test with PAH concentrations as variables revealed no statistically significant influences by industrial types and sampling time (i.e., seasonal variations). Pearson correlations between individual PAHs showed strong relationships (r>0.7) among 4-ring PAHs. Concentrations of acenaphthylene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(f)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene presented strong correlations to ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$. Principal component analysis discriminated entire samples into three groups by two principal components (PC1 and PC2) with 70% of data variations, in which industrial types were not of importance, but a dominance of certain PAHs. Samples in group-I, which is high PC1 and low PC2, were characterized by a dominance of 2-ring PAHs, and in group-II, PC1 and PC2 showed a linear relation, was dominant 4-ring PAHs. Group-III with low PC1 and high PC2 includes 17 samples showing a noticeably high contribution of 3-ring PAHs to ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$. This study provides concentrations of PAHs in industrial sludges collected from a wide variety of sources (six industrial types) and two seasons of sampling events, and the comparison of ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$ with other studies are also discussed.
