Experiments were conducted to determine potassium (K) requirement of mule ducklings. One-day-old ducklings with equal number of both sexes were fed diets containing graded levels of K for three weeks. In experiment 1, corn-soybean meal diet (CP 18.7%, ME 2,890 kcal/kg, K 0.80%) was used. The addition of K (0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40%) to the diet by potassium carbonate resulted in a decrease in weight gain and feed efficiency with the group fed on basal diet having the best performance. This means that the existing K in the basal diet is adequate for the growth of ducklings. In experiment 2, low K corn-isolated soy protein diet (K, 0.19%) was used. The supplementation of K (0.00, 0.16, 0.32, 0.48, 0.64%) resulted in an increase in weight gain and feed efficiency with the control group having the lowest performance. The minimum K requirement was found to be 0.49% for both maximum growth and best feed efficiency as determined by using bent-stick model.

The ameliorative effect of salts and ascorbic acid polyphosphate supplementation on heat stress was studied in buffaloes. Adult buffaloes of either sex were randomly divided into 2 groups of 4 animals each. Group I served as control and Group II was supplemented with sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate and ascorbic acid polyphosphate. All the animals were exposed to two conditions of temperature and humidity: hot-dry and hot-humid in a psychrometric chamber for 4 h daily for 10 days. Blood was collected on day 1, 5 and 10 of treatment. The activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD), concentrations of serum glutathione (GSH), cortisol, sodium, potassium, and chloride and lipid peroxidation were estimated in serum. Lymphocyte proliferation was assessed in blood. The activities of catalase and SOD, serum concentration of GSH, sodium, potassium and chloride decreased while lipid peroxidation and serum cortisol increased in both groups when subjected to heat stress. Dietary supplementation resulted in further decreasing of the enzyme activities but increasing of the serum concentrations of GSH, sodium, potassium and chloride. Lipid peroxidation and serum cortisol increased in the supplemented group in both types of stress. Dietary supplementation caused an increase in lymphoproliferative response to con A. Thus, supplementation of ascorbate in addition to electrolytes relieves the animals of oxidative stress and boosts cell mediated immunity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the objectification of coloring matter abstraction of the way to natural dye by cathamus flower. Watersoluble carthamin in the dyeing cathamus flower was removed for the fastness of dyeing and only insoluble carthamon was abstracted which came by solvent such as Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) Potassium hydroxide(KOH) Sodium carbonate(Na2CO3)and Potassi-um carbonate(K2CO3) Carthamon made abstract essence from a carthamus flower out of the pH6, pH7, pH9, pH11, solvent and by using a UV/VIS Spectra according to the change of pH. Silk dyes with solution abstract carthamon and it was treated by 5 kinds of mordant. The table of surface-colors was measured by the number of dyeing the color of silk dyed and by the kind of mordant which treated with and the dyeing was evaluated by measuring Color Fastness to Light and Washing.

The core-shell latex particles were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization using alkyl methacrylate as a shell monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. We study the effects of core-shell structure of calcium carbonate/alkyl methacrlyate in the presence of an anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfate (EU-S133D)). The structure of core-shell polymer were investigated by measuring to the thermal decomposition of polymer composite using thermogravimetric analyzer and morphology of latex by transmission electron microscope (TEM).

This paper studies the effect of the compressive strength for combined alkali-activated slag mortars. The effect of activators such as alkali type and dosage factor on the strength was investigated. The alkalis combinations made using five caustic alkalis (sodium hydroxide (NaOH, A series), calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$, B series), magnesium hydroxide ($Mg(OH)_2$, C series), aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$, D series), and potassium hydroxide (KOH, E series)) with sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) were evaluated. The mixtures were combined in different dosage at 1M, 2M, and 3M. The study results showed that the compressive strength of combined alkali-activated slag mortars tended to increase with increasing sodium carbonate. The strength of combined alkali-activated slag mortars was better than that of control cases (without sodium carbonate). The result from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed that there were reaction products of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and alumina-silicate gels from combined alkali-activated slag specimens.

It is knwon that in the reaction of .alpha.-diethylaminoacetophenone with potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in dilute alcohol solution, 5-phenylhydantoin is formed. In this study the mechanism of the reaction by which diethylaminomethyl group is eliminated, was investigated with applying GC/MS-system. From the fragmentation pattern of mass spectrum of the unknwon compound, which has mol peak 112, it was identified as diethylaminoacetonitrile. According to our GC/MS study of the reaction mixture, it seems likely that diethylaminomethyl group is eliminated neither through the alkali degradation of .alpha.-diethylaminoacetophenone to aldehyde nor after the anticipated hydantoin formation. But it is believed that in the course of ring formation through an unidentified mechanism diethylaminomethyl group is eliminated.

Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reacting potassium tetrachloroaurate ($KAuCl_4$), potassium carbonate ($K_2CO_3$), and isopropyl alcohol in the presence of fullerene oxide [$C_{60}(O)_n$, $n{\geq}1$], which was, in turn, prepared from [$C_{60}$] fullerene and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid under refluxing conditions. The crystallinity and morphology of the prepared gold nanoparticles were confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The activity of the gold nanoparticles in the reduction of 4-nitroaniline was measured in order to determine its capability as a catalyst.

5-sec-butylthiomethyl-5-alkyl (methyl or phenyl) hydantoins (3-x) were prepared by the reaction of sec-buylthiomethyl alkyl (methyl or phenyl) ketone (1-2), potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate. 3-(2-Bromoethyl) hydantoins (5-6) were the reaction products of 5-sec-buythiomethyl-5-alkyl (methyl or phenyl) hydantoin and 1, 2-dibromothane in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Alkylation of 5 and 6 with an excess of alkyl (methyl or ethyl iodide in THF with sodium hydride as base gave three 1-alkyl (methyl or ethyl)-3-(2-bromoethyl) hydantoins (7-9). Treatment of the 2-bromothyl group with potassium thioacelate and triethylamine gave three 1-alkyl (methyl or ethyl)-3-92-acetylthioethyl) hydantoins (10-12). Hydrolysis of the 2-acetylthiuoethyl group with sodium hydroxide in methanol afforded the three 1-alkyl (methyl or ethyl)-3-(2-mercaptorthyl) hydantoins.

It is known that hydantoin derivative can be synthesized according to the method of Bucherer-Bergs, which employs the interaction of the carbonyl compounds with potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in dilute alcohol solution. In a converting study of .alpha.-dietylaminoacetophenone with KCN and ($NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}$ to hydantoin, the attempted 5-diethylaminomethyl-5-phenylhydantoin was not formed. In this reaction diethylaminomethly group was unexpectedly eliminated and 5-phenylhydantoin was obtained, instead of the anticipated compound.
