This study is measurement of radicals in gas & light oil diffusion flame focused on burner exit. The goal of this study is to analyse the relationship between flame chemiluminescence($OH^{\ast}$, $CH^{\ast}$, $C_2^{\ast}$) intensities and flame conditions. The investigation performed turbulent diffusion flame of commercial burner in varying the excess air ratio from 1.0 to 1.8. The optical emissions were measured by photomultiplier(PMT) using optical band pass filter and spectrometer system. The effects of excess air ratio and NOx emission characteristics on the radical emission intensities were investigated experimentally.

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.

Organosilicate films are promising porous low-dielectric materials, which can replace the silicon dioxide films. It was researched that organosilicate films have two different chemical shifts according to the increase of the flow rate ratio. There are the red shift due to the electron deficient substitution group, and the blue shift of the electron rich substitution group. Among these chemical shifts, the blue shift from $1000 cm^{-1}$ to $1250 cm^{-1}$ was related with the formation of pores. The methyl radicals of the electron-rich substitution group terminate easily the Si-O-Si cross-link, and the Si-O-C cage-link near $1057 cm^{-1}$ is originated from the cross-link breakdown due to much methyl radicals.

Objective : This study was carried out to investigate diagnostic difference and anti-oxidative effect of 3 different Anemarrhenae Rhizoma (AR) extracts. Methods : Microscopic examination was used to distinguish histological differences. And eliminative ability of several kinds of free radicals was also measured. Results : In microscopic examination, we can distinguished three different lineage of AR with different structure of vascular bundles and secretory structures. The extract of AR show profitable abilities of elimination of DPPH free radical, ABTS free radical and hydrogen peroxide. Conclusion : So, it can be concluded that AR extract has an anti-oxidative effects. Especially indeciduous lineage was most effective to remove free radicals.

Oxidation of catecholamines may contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The effect of the oxidized products of catecholamines on the modification of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) was investigated. When Cu,Zn-SOD was incubated with the oxidized 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) or dopamine, the protein was induced to be aggregated. The deoxyribose assay showed that hydroxyl radicals were generated during the oxidation of catecholamines in the presence of copper ion. Radical scavengers, azide, N-acetylcysteine, and catalase inhibited the oxidized catecholamine-mediated Cu,Zn-SOD aggregation. Therefore, the results indicate that free radicals may play a role in the aggregation of Cu,Zn-SOD. When Cu,Zn-SOD that had been exposed to catecholamines was subsequently analyzed by an amino acid analysis, the glycine and histidine residues were particularly sensitive. These results suggest that the modification of Cu,Zn-SOD by oxidized catecholamines might induce the perturbation of cellular antioxidant systems and led to a deleterious cell condition.

Wistar albino rats were injected subcutaneously with mercuric chloride (5 mg/kg) to define the early biochemical determinants that participate in the pathogenesis of mercuric chloride-induced hepatotoxicity, especially focusing on oxygen free radicals, we studied malondialdehyde(MDA) level and the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the liver of rats at 24, 48 and 72 hr after the injection of mercuric chloride. MDA levels at 24, 48 and 72 hr after the injection of mercuric chloride increased as compared with that of control group. The activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase at 24, 48 and 72hr after the injection of mercuric chloride decreased as compared with that of control group. These results suggest that the depression of the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase resulting from excessive oxygen free radicals is an important determinant in pathogenesis of mercuric chloride-induced hepatotoxicity.

We show that the ${\theta}$-prime radical of a ring R is the set of all strongly ${\theta}$-nilpotent elements in R, where ${\theta}$ is an automorphism of R. We observe some conditions under which the ${\theta}$-prime radical of coincides with the prime radical of R. Moreover we characterize elements in prime radicals of skew Laurent polynomial rings, studying (${\theta}$, ${\theta}^{-1}$)-(semi)primeness of ideals of R.

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal characteristic of the 5,5'-dimethyl-l-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO)-OH spin adduct, which is formed from the reaction of DMPO with superoxide radicals generated by xanthine oxidasemediated reaction, was significantly reduced by the cadaverine or Escherichia coli Mn-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Likewise, cytochrome c reduction by superoxide was inhibited by cadaverine, and the inhibition level increased in proportion to the level of cadaverine. The cadA mutant of Vibrio vulnificus, which does not produce cadaverine because of the lack of lysine decarboxylase, exhibits less tolerance to superoxide stress in comparison with wild type. The results indicate that cadaverine scavenges superoxide radicals, and protects cells from oxidative stress.

In this study performed to identify a degradation mechanism in macromolecular insulating material, the contact angel, surface potential decay, surface resistivity, and XPS analysis were compared after exposure of FRP laminate to plasma discharge. In the case of contact angle, the surface of specimen untreated showed weak hydrophobic property of 73。. However, the contact angle was decreased to 20。in the plasma-treated specimen. In the case of chemical changes arising form plasma treatment, carboxl radicals were generated mainly in the surface treated, which was rapidly changed to the hydrophilic one. In the corona potential decay study to determine the electrical changes of the surface, positive charges were rapidly decreased when compared with negative charges, leading to negative property in the surface of specimen not treated. However, in the case of the hydrophilic surface, lots of carboxl radicals acting as positive polarity were generated, resulting in positive surface. Owing to such positive surface, charges of negative polarity applied were rapidly decreased.
