Let ${\wp}_1$, ${\wp}_2$ be the radical classes of rings. Y. Lee and R. E. Propes have defined their sum by ${\wp}_1+{\wp}_2=\{R{\in}{\omega}:{\wp}_1(R)+{\wp}_2(R)=R\}$. They have shown that ${\wp}_1+{\wp}_2$ is not a radical class in general. In this paper, a few results of Lee and Propes are generalized and also new conditions are investigated under which this sum becomes a radical class.

We will introduce and study the notion of prime bases for weakly prime submodules and utilize them to derive some formulas on the weak radical of submodules of a module. In particular, we will show that every one dimensional integral domain weakly satisfies the radical formula and state some necessary conditions on local integral domains which are semi-compatible or satisfy the radical formula and also on Noetherian rings which weakly satisfy the radical formula.

The soot and OH radical distributions have been experimentally studied in ethylene and propane laminar diffusion flames. The integrated soot volume fraction was measured along the centerline of a flame using a laser light extinction method. Planar laser light scattering and PLIF techniques are employed for the soot and OH radical distribution measurements utilizing Nd:YAG laser and OPO, FDO system. The concentration of OH radical is rapidly decreased at the edge of sooting region, which implies the importance of OH radical species on the soot oxidation process. For ethylene flames, the addition of air in fuel moves the OH radical distribution towards the center line of a flame at the soot oxidation region, while the concentration of OH radical remains relatively high at the soot formation region. The interaction between soot particles and OH radicals becomes more active with fuel-air at the soot oxidation region. For propane flames, however, any indication of the increased interaction between soot particles and OH radicals with fuel-air was not noticed.

The ability of 80% ethanol extracts from five medicinal plants, Aralia continentalis, Paeonia suffruticosa, Magnolia denudata, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, and Schizonepeta tenuifolia, to neutralize hydroxyl radical, peroxyl radical and peroxynitrite was examined using the total oxyradical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay. Peroxyl radical was generated from thermal homolysis of 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (ABAP); hydroxyl radical by an iron-ascorbate Fenton reaction; peroxynitrite by spontaneous decomposition of 3-morpholinosydnonimine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1). The oxidants generated react with $\alpha$-keto-$\gamma$-methiolbutyric acid (KMBA) to yield ethylene, and the TOSC of the substances tested is quantified from their ability to inhibit ethylene formation. Extracts from P. suffruticosa, M. denudata, and S. tenuifolia were determined to be potent peroxyl radical scavenging agents with a specific TOSC (sTOSC) being at least six-fold greater than that of glutathione (GSH). These three plants also showed sTOSCs toward peroxynitrite markedly greater than sTOSC of GSH, however, only P. suffruticosa revealed a significant hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity. Seven major active constituents isolated from P. suffruticosa, quercetin, (+)-catechin, methyl gallate, gallic acid, benzoic acid, benzoyl paeoniflorin and paeoniflorin, were determined for their antioxidant potential toward peroxynitrite, peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals. Quercetin, (+)-catechin, methyl gallate, and gallic acid exhibited sTOSCs 40~85 times greater than sTOSC of GSH. These four components also showed a peroxynitrite scavenging capacity higher than at least 10-fold of GSH. For antioxidant activity against hydroxyl radical, methyl gallate was greatest followed by gallic acid and quercetin. Further studies need to be conducted to substantiate the significance of scavenging a specific oxidant in the prevention of cellular injury and disease states caused by the reactive free radical species.

Hizikia fusiformis is well known edible brown seaweed both in Korea and Japan. It has been intensively studied due to its pronounced health benefits. In this study, the radical scavenging (antioxidative) activities of its hydrophilic phlorotannin constituents were studied. An aqueous extract/original extract (OE) of H. fusiformis was initially prepared with heat, enzymes and pH control treatments. Then the original extract was further fractionated (with methylene chloride and methanol) and crude hydrophilic phlorotannin extract (CHPE) was prepared. The radical scavenging activities of both OE and CHPE were determined by using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrophotometric assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl and alkyl radical assays. The CHPE reported significantly (p < 0.05) higher total phenolic (phlorotannins) content (1.23 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$) than that of the OE (0.21 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$). Both OE and CHPE have reported good radical scavenging activities and those activities were dose-dependent. The CHPE have demonstrated significantly higher radical scavenging activities than that of the OE. In comparison, the DPPH radical (6 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ M) scavenging activities of all the CHPE concentrations (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$) tested were significantly higher (37.3, 78.2 and 91.6%, respectively) than that of the OE counterparts (11.4, 34.6 and 61.7%, respectively). Alkyl radical scavenging percentages of CHPE at 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were significantly higher (34.3, 69.2, 80.4 and 88.7%, respectively) than that of the OE (16.6, 41.4, 62.3 and 77.4%, respectively). The percentages of hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of CHPE at the concentrations of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were 32.5, 59.4 and 84.2 % respectively. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of OE was quite lower than that of the CHPE. Therefore, these results suggest that the hydrophilic phlorotannins of H. fusiformis are potential radical scavengers thus, a great source of antioxidative nutraceuticles.

자유라디칼은 반응성이 커서 세포의 구성 물질인 단백질, 지질, 당, DNA등과 반응하여 세포 및 조직을 손상시킴으로서 노화를 가져온다. 이러한 자유라디칼들은 자외선, 일반 대사, 스트레스, 질병, 흡연 등에 의해 생성되고 특히, 활성 산소 종인 hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, lipid peroxide radical등은 피부 노화를 발생시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한방 식물로부터 유해한 활성 산소종을 소거하는 활성을 가진 물질을 기 위해 1차 스크리닝 하였고, 이중 육두구, 관중, 초두구, 빈랑, 금은화, 포공영, 우롱차, 황금, 녹차 추출물이 효과가 높게 나타났으며, 그중 초두구와 빈랑 90% 메탄올 추출물에서 가장 우수한 소거 활성을 나타냄으로써 이 추출물에 대하여 자유라디칼 소거 활성에 대하여 여러 가지 생물학적 활성을 조사하였다. 초두구와 빈랑추출물에 대한 hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, lipid peroxide radical을 소거하는 활성을 핵산, 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 물층으로 분획하여 조사한 결과 에틸아세테이트층에서 가장 우수한 활성을 보였다. 에틸아세테이트 분획에 대한 lipid peroxide radical 소거에 있어서 빈랑 추출물이 $IC_{50}$/ 값 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 초두구 추출물은 $IC_{50}$/ 값 59 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로서 기준물질로 사용되는 vitamic C (120 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)나 butylated hydroxyl toluene (80 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 보다 더 우수한 소거 효과를 보여주었고, hydroxyl radical을 소거하는 능력은 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml와 150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로 hydroxyl radical의 소거 능이 좋은 vitamin C (180 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 보다 뛰어난 소거 활성을 나타내었다. Superoxide radical을 소거하는 효과는 초두구 추출물의 $IC_{50}$/ 값 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 빈랑 추출물이 15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml을 나타냈고, 이는 기준 물질인 vitamin C (35 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)보다 좋은 소거 활성을 보여주었으며, gallic acid 9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml과 유사한 효과를 나타내었다. 사람 섬유아세포를 배양하여 hydroxyl radical과 superoxide radical를 발생시킨 후 초두구와 빈랑 추출물의 세포 보호 효과를 실험한 결과 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 농도로 처리하였을 때 각각 85% 이상의 우수한 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 초두구로부터는 자유라디칼 소거 활성이 있는 물질을 분리하기 위하여 분획한 후 가장 높은 소거 활성을 보인 에틸아세테이트 층에 대하여 silica column chromatography, preparative TLC를 수행하였다. 초두구로부터 분리된 물질은 HPLC를 이용한 분리에서 phenol성 물질인 gallic acid와 동일한 retention time을 보여줌으로써 초두구로부터 분리된 물질은 gallic acid와 유사한 phenol성 물질이거나 그의 유도체일 것으로 추측된다. 따라서, 초두구와 빈랑 추출물은 피부 노화의 주요인이 되고 있는 lipid radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical을 소거하는 활성이 뛰어나 자유라디칼에 의하여 발생되는 피부노화를 방지할수 있는 물질로서의 효과가 기대된다.가 기대된다.

OH radical concentration have been measured in a methane-air partially premixed flames using PLIF. Excitation lines were selected $Q_{1}(6)$ branch, (1,0) band. The system is consisted of Nd:YAG laser, dye laser and frequency doubler to make pump beam for OH radical. On the direct photographs, flame height increases as fuel flow rate and equivalence ratio increase. And on the PLIF images, OH radical is distributed from premixed flame front to nonpremixed flame front through the flame structure with all equivalence ratio. OH overall concentrations increase with equivalence ratio. At the stoichiometric equivalence ratio, the peak of OH radical concentration exists strongly near the inner cone. As equivalence ratio is changed to richer, OH radical distribution goes thinly and the peak is increased as longitudinal direction. As the flow goes to the downstream, OH radical concentration decreases and broadens, because OH radical reacts with another species after OH formation at the initial oxidization. This phenomenon resembles radial distribution. At the l00cc fuel flowrate, the radial peak of OH radical exists from x/R=l.0 to 1.5.

Recently, applications of high voltage impulse (hereafter HVI) technique to desalting, sludge solubilization and disinfection have gained great attention. However, information on how the operating condition of HVI changes the water qualities, particularly production of hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}OH$) is not sufficient yet. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of operating conditions of the HVI on the generation of hydroxyl radical. Indirect quantification of hydroxyl radical using RNO which react with hydroxyl radical was used. The higher HVI voltage applied up to 15 kV, the more RNO decreased. However, 5 kV was not enough to produce hydroxyl radical, indicating there might be an critical voltage triggering hydroxyl radical generation. The concentration of RNO under the condition of high conductivity decreased more than those of the low conductivities. Moreover, the higher the air supplies to the HVI reactor, the greater RNO decreased. The conditions with high conductivity and/or air supply might encourage the corona discharge on the electrode surfaces, which can produce the hydroxyl radical more easily. The pH and conductivity of the sample water changed little during the course of HVI induction.

Heated onion juice was partitioned using the solvents hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest scavenging effect on the ABTS radical. The antioxidant activities of the ethyl acetate fraction from raw and heated onion (120, 130, and $140^{\circ}C$) were evaluated using radical scavenging assays. Radical and nitrite scavenging activities were higher in heated onion than raw onion, and the higher the temperature of heat treatment, the greater the radical and nitrite scavenging activities. Heated onion ($140^{\circ}C$, 2 hr) was more effective than raw onion, having higher DPPH radical scavenging (5.7-fold), hydroxyl radical scavenging (6.4-fold), superoxide radical scavenging (2.3-fold), hydrogen peroxide scavenging (11.8-fold), and nitrite scavenging (4.3-fold) activities. Onion increased its physiologically active materials after heating, and in this regard, heated onion can be used as biological material for the manufacture of health foods and supplements.
