Cu(II) chelates of several sulfanilamide derivatives (Sulfa-Cu) were prepared and their effects on solubility, absorptivity in intestinal lumen, biding tendency with serum protein and erythrocytes, concentration in rabbit blood, and acetylation rate were studied in comparison with their free ligand forms. For solubility concerned, the partition coefficients of Sulfa-Cu are decreased as following order: Sulfadimethoxine Copper chelate (SDM-Cu), Sulfamethoxypyridazine Copper chelate (SD-Cu), Sulfamerazine Copper chelate (SM-Cu), Sulfaisoxazole Copper chelate (SIX-Cu). The partition coefficients of SDM-Cu and ST-Cu were much greater than those of ligands. this phenomenone acounts for the rapid absorption of SDM-Cu and ST-Cu in the rat small intestine (in situ). The Sulfa-Cu were absorbed at the intestinal lumen of a rat in the rate of first order and there was no difference between long acting sulfa drugs and their Cu0chelates in biological half lives. In binding experiments, sulfa-Cu binded with serum protein in lower ratio than their ligands except SIX-Cu. On other hand, acetylation rates of sulfa-Cu were higher than those of free sulfa drugs and the acetylation rate were higher than those of free sulfa drugs and powder. In a experiment on Sulfa-Cu concentration in rabbit blood, the half lives of SD-Cu, SIX-cu, ST-Cu, and SM-Cu were longer than those of their ligands. Above all, the half life of SD-Cu appeared to be approximately 3.5 times logner than that of corresponding ligand, SD. When absorption of sulfa drugs or sulfa-Cu at the small intestinal lumen of a rat and the concentration in rabbit blood after absorption were compared, it was found that there was not always conrrelated.

In this study, the relationship between partition coefficients(Kw) of oils and antimicrobial effects Ivas investigated. The antimicrobial activity of paraben has been known to be controlled by the concentration of the paraben in the aqueous phase. The concentration of paraben in the aqueous phase was measured by the UV/VIS spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 256nm. It was found that the hydrocarbon oils and silicone oils had the lowest Kw value(<1.0) among the tested oils. Also, the emulsions which were made of oils having low Kw values had a good antimicrobial effects. Thus, the cosmetic safety against microorganisms could be improved by using the oils which have low Kw values.

The solvent effects on the relative free energies of solvation and the difference in partition coefficients (log P) for $Rb^+$ to $K^+$ mutation in several solvents have been investigated using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of statistical perturbation theory(SPT). In comparing the relative free energies for interconversion of one ion pair, $Rb^+$ to $K^+$, in $H_2O$(TIP4P) in this study with the relative free energies of the computer simulations and the experimental, we found that the figure in this study with the relative free energies of the computert simulations and the experimental, we found that the figure in this study is $-5.00\pm0.11$ kcal/mol and those of the computer simulations are $-5.40\pm1.9$, -5.5, and -5.4 kcal/mol. The experimental is -5.1 kcal/mol. There is good agreement among various studies, taking into account both methods used to obtain the hydration free energies and standard deviations. There is also good agreement between the calculated structural properties of this study and the simulations, ab initio and the experimental results. We have explained the deviation of the relationship between the free energy difference and the Onsager dielectric function of solvents by the electron pair donor properties of the solvents. For the $Rb^+$ and $K^+$ ion pair, the Onsager dielectric function of solvents (or solvent permittivity), donor number of solvent and the differences in solvation dominate the differences in the relative free energies of solvation and partition coefficients.

To enhance the activity of ibuprofen, amides of ibuprofen, 1-piperazinyl-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionamide(Ibu-P.A.) and 1-(4-methylpiperazinyl)-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionamide (Ibu-M.P.), were synthesized and the pharmaceutical properties and the pharmacological activities of the amides were studied. The lipid:water partition coefficients and pKa values were examined in vitro, and the antiinflammatory effect, analgesic effects, acute toxicity, and intestinal absorption were studied for the amides and compared with ibuprofen in vivo. The results are summarized as belows; 1) The lipid:water partition coefficients of Ibu-M.P. were higher than those of ibuprofen. 2) The calculated pKa values of ibuprofen and Ibu-M.P. were 5.49 and 8.66, respectively. 3) The antiinflammatory effects of ibuprofen, Ibu-P.A., and Ibu-M.P. were same intensity, but the duration of the effects of Ibu-P.A. and Ibu-M.P. were longer than that of ibuprofen. 4) The analgesic effect of Ibu-M.P. was more potent than those of ibuprofen and Ibu-P.A. in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. 5) The $LD_{50}$ was 495 mg/kg for ibuprofen, 187 mg/kg for Ibu-M.P., and over 1250 mg/kg for Ibu-P.A.. 6) The absorption rate constants(k) and half-life($t_{1/2}$) were 0.74($hr^{-1}$) and 0.94(hr) for ibuprofen, and 0.72 ($hr^{-1}$) and 0.96 (hr) respectively for Ibu-M.P..

The assemblage epidote and grandite garnet occurs in low-to medium-grade metabasites and calc schists of various geotectonic settings and in hydrothermally altered calcareous rocks in skarn deposits. The compositions of sixteen epidote-garnet paris have been analysed by means of electron microprobe. Al-Fe partitioning between coexisting grandite garnet and epidote is considered and measured at the grain boundaries on the supposition that the surface equilibrium was maintained in the following exchange reaction: 2$Ca_2Al_3Si_3O_12$(OH)+$Ca_3Fe_2Si_3O_12$=2$Ca_2A_l2FeSi_3O_12$(OH)+$Ca_3Al_2Si_3O_12$ Partition coefficients confirms the differences in thermal conditions between low-grade and medium-grade metamorphic rocks. $K_D$ values ($X_{$CO_2$}$=($Fe^{+3}$/Al)$^{Ep}$/($Fe^{+3}$/Al)$^{Gr}$, where Fe=$Fe^{+3}$) from greenschist facies rocks of the estimated metamorphic temperatures, 330~$390^{\circ}C$, range approximately between 0.02 and 0.17. Epidote-amphibolite facies rocks and calcareous skarns of the estimated temperatures, 400~$550^{\circ}C$, have $K_D$ values between 0.24 and 0.37. $K_D$ values from the rocks of the temperatures, 640~$700^{\circ}C$, range nearly between 0.58 and 0.75. The diagrams in Figs. 2 and 3 can serve as a mineralogic thermometer for relatively shallow rocks, assuming that the pressure dependence of partition coefficients for the iron-exchange reaction in the two minerals can be neglected.

Protease produced from Bacillus sp. FSE-68 was isolated from Meju, a Korean fermented soybean starter, and was purified by a two-consecutive aqueous two-phase system. The change of partition coefficient (K) in the polyethylene glycol (PEG)/potassium phosphate buffer (PPB) aqueous two-phase system was measured at different pHs (6.0- 9.2), PPB concentrations (8-12%), and temperatures (4 and $20^{\circ}C$). As the PPB concentration in the aqueous two-phase system increased, the protease concentration in the top phase (PEG-rich phase) increased, thereby enhancing the partition coefficient. The minimum partition coefficient of the protease was achieved at pH 7.0, whereas that of the total protein was at pH 6.0. The biggest difference in partition coefficients of total protein and protease occurred at pH 6.0. It was interesting to note that the partition coefficient of protease decreased as the temperature increased. The optimum condition of the primary aqueous two-phase extraction of Bacillus sp. FSE-68 was pH 6.0, 14% (w/w) PPB, and 16% (w/w) PEG at $4^{\circ}C$, and the crude enzyme concentration in this system was 50% (w/w). The protease, which was concentrated in the top phase, was further mixed with 15% (w/w) PPB (pH 7.0) in the ratio of 1:1 at $20^{\circ}C$ to elute the bottom phase (PPB-rich phase). Using these steps, the purification fold achieved was 9.2 with a 44.7% yield.

Cefazolin ethoxycarbonylethyl ester (CFZ-ET) was synthesized to improve oral absorption and bioavailability of the parent drug by esterification of sodium cefazolin (CFZ-Na). The successful synthesis of CFZ-ET was identified with analysis of UV spectra, FT-lR spectra and NMR spectra. Partition coefficient studies showed that CFZ-ET was more lipophilic than CFZ-Na and the ester was hydrolyzed into the parent drug in vivo. Although CFZ-ET did not have antimicrobial activity in vitro, the plasma taken after the oral administration of CFZ-ET had antimicrobial activity. Based on above observations, CFZ-ET might be rapidly hydrolyzed to CFZ in the body. Therefore, it may be concluded that CFZ-ET could be a novel prodrug of CFZ which can improve the bioavailability of CFZ-Na.

This study was aimed at estimation of gas-particle partitioning of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air. The samples were collected at urban site in Japan from March 2002 to January 2003. The concentration of total PCBs (from 4 CB to 10 CB) and TEQ (Toxic equivalent) ranged from 62 to $247\;pg/m^3$ and from 2 to $14\;fgTEQ/m^3 $, respectively. The average contribution $(\%)$ of gas phase to total PCBs concentration was above $80\%$, which suggests that in the atmosphere PCBs predominantly existed in the gas phase. The weak correlations between total PCBs concentration and temperature was found. However this result was due to a typhoon during summer and raining during sampling period. The gas-particle partition coefficient (Kp) was obtained as a function of temperature. The partition ratio of gaseous and particulate phase PCBs can be estimated for an arbitrary temperature. The plot of gas/particle partition coefficient (log Kp) vs. sub-cooled liquid vapor pressure $(log\;P_L)$ had reasonable correlations for individual samples but the slope varied among the samples (coefficients of determination for log Kp versus log $P_L$ plot were> 0.76 $(p<0.0001)$, except for 3 samples). As a result, the variations in the slope among the sampling period may be due to change of temperature, raining during sampling period and wind in this study.

Given a partition ${\lambda}=({\lambda}_1,{\lambda}_2,{\ldots},{\lambda}_l)$ of a positive integer n, let Tab(${\lambda}$, k) be the set of all tabloids of shape ${\lambda}$ whose weights range over the set of all k-compositions of n and ${\mathcal{OP}}^k_{\lambda}_{rev}$ the set of all ordered partitions into k blocks of the multiset $\{1^{{\lambda}_l}2^{{\lambda}_{l-1}}{\cdots}l^{{\lambda}_1}\}$. In [2], Butler introduced an inversion-like statistic on Tab(${\lambda}$, k) to show that the rank-selected $M{\ddot{o}}bius$ invariant arising from the subgroup lattice of a finite abelian p-group of type ${\lambda}$ has nonnegative coefficients as a polynomial in p. In this paper, we introduce an inversion-like statistic on the set of ordered partitions of a multiset and construct an inversion-preserving bijection between Tab(${\lambda}$, k) and ${\mathcal{OP}}^k_{\hat{\lambda}}$. When k = 2, we also introduce a major-like statistic on Tab(${\lambda}$, 2) and study its connection to the inversion statistic due to Butler.

Considerations of partition coefficients, selectivity, biocompatibility, and waste generation are important in selection of appropriate solvents to be used for extractive recovery of products from fermentation broths. Several selection criteria can be used based upon the nature of different species present in the broth. These criteria, along with examples of specific case studies, were presented. These serve not only in screening of useful solvents, but also in pointing to the specific modes of operation of recovery-coupled bioprocesses.
