The purpose of the present study was to design and prepare the optimum formulation for the oral administration of titrated extract of the unsaponifiable fraction of Zea mays L. (ETIZM). For this purpose, we simulated the blood concentration of ETIZM after its oral administration, changing the dissolution rate constants $(0.05{\sim}20\;hr^{-1})$. In vivo parameters, such as absorption rate constant $(k_a)$, elimination rate constant (k) and volume of distribution (Vd), were incorporated in the simulation on the basis of the experiments and literatures. When the dissolution rate constant $(k_r)$ is over $5\;hr^{-1}$, the absorption process appears to be the rate limiting step for the transport of ETIZM from the G.I. ract to the blood circulation. While less than $5\;hr^{-1}$, the dissolution rate considered to be the rate limiting step. Moreover, the optimum blood concentration was shown in the range from 1 to $5\;hr^{-1}$ of $k_r$ in the simulation. To design and prepare the tablets on the basis of the above results, 7 formula containing HPMC, PEG 4000 and PEG 6000 (1-5%, respectively) were prepared and evaluated. The tablets containing PEG 4000 (1%), PEG 6000 (1%) or PEG 4000 (5%) satisfy the optimum $k_r$ range ($1-5\;hr^{-1}$). These formulations, therefore, will be able to show the more effective blood concentration, compared with the commercial products after the oral administration.

Pseudo-first-order rate constants $k_{amine}$ have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of benzyl 4-pyridyl carbonate 6 with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in $H_2O$ at $25.0^{\circ}C$. The plots of $k_{amine}$ vs. [amine] curve upward, indicating that the reactions proceed through a stepwise mechanism with two intermediates, a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate $T^{\pm}$ and its deprotonated form $T^-$. This contrasts to the report that the corresponding reactions of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 5 proceed through a forced concerted pathway. The $k_{amine}$ values for the reactions of 6 have been dissected into the second-order rate constant $Kk_2$ and the thirdorder rate constant $Kk_3$. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots are linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}=0.94$ and 1.18 for $Kk_2$ and $Kk_3$, respectively. The $Kk_2$ for the reaction of 6 is smaller than the second-order rate constant $k_N$ for the corresponding reaction of 5, although 4-pyridyloxide in 6 is less basic and a better nucleofuge than 2-pyridyloxide in 5.

This study is mainly focused on micellar effect of tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(TTABr) solution including alkylbenzimidazole(R-BI) on dephosphorylation of diphenyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate(DPNPIN) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). Dephosphorylation of DPNPIN is accelerated by $BI^{\Theta}$ ion in $10^2$ M Carbonate buffer(pH 10.7) of $4{\times}10^{-4}$ M TTABr solution up to 80 times as compared with the reaction in Carbonate buffer by no benzimidazole(BI) solution of TTABr. The value of pseudo first order rate constant($k_{\psi}$) of the reaction in TTABr solution reached a maximum rate constant increasing micelle concentration. The reaction mediated by $R-BI^{\Theta}$ in micellar solutions are obviously slower than those by $BI^{\Theta}$, and the reaction rate were decreased with increase of lengths of alkyl groups. It seems due to steric effect of alkyl groups of $R-BI^{\Theta}$ in Stern layer of micellar solution. The surfactant reagent, TTABr, strongly catalyzes the reaction of DPNPIN with R-BI and its anion($R-BI^{\Theta}$) in Carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). For example, $4{\times}10^{-4}$ M TTABr in $1{\times}10^{-4}$ M BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\psi}=99.7{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca. 28, when compared with reaction($k_{\psi}=3.5{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) in BI solution(without TTABr). And no TTABr solution, in BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\psi}=3.5{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca. 39, when compared with reaction ($k_{\psi}=1.0{\times}10^{-5}1/sec$) in water solution(without BI).

The influence of argon, oxygen, and nitrogen admixtures on the dissociation of $Cl_2$ molecules in a glow discharge low-temperature plasma under the constant pressure conditions was investigated. For $Cl_2/Ar$ and $Cl_2/O_2$mixtures, the concentration of chlorine atoms was observed to be a practically constant at argon or oxygen concentrations up to 50%. This invariability is a most pro bably explained by relative increase in rate of $Cl_2$ direct electron impact dissociation due to the changes in electrophysical parameters of plasma such as EEDF, electron drift rate and mean energy. For all the considered mixtures, the contribution of stepwise dissociation involving active species from gas additives (metastable atoms and molecules, vibrationally excited molecules) was found to be negligible.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the Si content on the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of hypoeutectic Al-Si binary alloys in the range of 4~10 wt% Si. Cooling curves were measured during the solidification of the alloy cast in a step-wise mold. We compared two kinds of solidification time: the first is the total solidification time for both dendritic and eutectic growth, and the second is the solidification time for only dendritic growth. The proportional constant in the relationship between SDAS and cooling rate was estimated, as this constant represents the stability of the cast microstructure. The proportional constant decreased with the Si contents from 4 wt% to 8 wt%, and it remains relatively uniform with up to 10 wt% of Si.

We present a passive flow-rate regulator, capable to compensate inlet pressure variation and to maintain a constant flow-rate for precise liquid control. Deflection of the parallel membrane valves in the passive flowrate regulator adjusts fluidic resistance according to inlet fluid pressure without any external energy. Compared to previous passive flow-rate regulators, the present device achieves precision flow regulation functions at the lower threshold compensation pressure of 20kPa with the simpler structure. In the experimental study, the fabricated device achieves the constant flow-rate of $6.09{\pm}0.32{\mu}l/s$ over the inlet pressure range of $20{\sim}50$ kPa. The present flow-rate regulator having simple structure and lower compensation pressure level demonstrates potentials for use in integrated micropump systems.

This study was attempted to investigate the dissolution rate and the bioavailability after oral administration of commercially available norfloxacin tablets in rabbits. The dissolution test was conducted in artificial gastric juice using basket method with for norfloxacin preparations (A, B, C and D) which were chemically equivalent. The results were as follows ; The dissolution rate was increased in the order of four different brand A>D>B>C. Area under the plasma concentration curve and peak plasma concentration were increased in the order of brand A>D>B>C. Absorption rate constant and peak time were increased in the order of brand B>A>C>D, and there was a little difference in elimination rate constant and biological half-life. The correlation of the dissolution rate and relative bioavailability showed significant linear relationship. From the results of this experiment, the bioavailability of norfloxacin tablets in rabbits may be predicted from the results of dissolution rate studies.

This paper presents technique to control blower at constant air volume rate using V/F Control. Especially, this control method have not pressure sensors to measure because of using torque-speed relation based on the fan laws. Therefore, this technique is very simple and practical.
