The preparations of deodorizing fibers using $\textrm{TiO}_2$ have been investigated. $\textrm{TiO}_2$ is known to be an excellent photocatalyst for the degradation of organic and inorganic contaminants in water. $\textrm{TiO}_2$ catalyst have been supported on the glass fiber by a dip-coating procedure. The resulting materials have been characterized by XRD and SEM. The immobilized catalysts were tested in the photocatalytic degradation of $\textrm{NH}_3$, $\textrm{CH}_3\textrm{SH}$ and $\textrm{CH}_3\textrm{CHO}$. The deodorant activity(D.A.) of these deodorizing fibers was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. The efficient deodorant activity results have been achieved through the increase of $\textrm{TiO}_2$ sol concentration.

$\textrm{Zn}_{2-x}\textrm{Mn}_{x}\textrm{SiO}_{4}$ green phosphors have been prepared by the solution reaction method and the photoluminescence and crystalline properties were studied as a function of both the firing temperature ($900^{\circ}C$~$1200^{\circ}C$) and the concentration of Mn activator (x=0.01~0.20). Under 147 nm and 254nm and excitation sources, the emission intensity of the phosphors was increased about 4 times increasing firing temperatures from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$. From the XRD analysis, $\textrm{Zn}_{2}\textrm{SiO}_{4}$:Mn phosphors fired above $1100^{\circ}C$ showed willemite crystal structure. Under 147nm excitation, the maximum emission intensity was obtained at the Mn concentration of x=0.02 for $\textrm{Zn}_{2-x}\textrm{Mn}_{x}\textrm{SiO}_{4}$ phosphors fired at $1200^{\circ}C$ and the concentration quenching was occurred at the Mn concentration above x=0.10. The phosphor particles showed almost spherical shapes with the average size of around 2~3$\mu\textrm{m}$ by the SEM morphology.

The electrical, optical and structural properties of ZnNiO thin _ films deposited on Si substrates using rf-magnetron sputtering method have been investigated before and after the thermal annealing processes. The crystallinity of the ZnNiO thin film become degraded with increasing the Ni contents. This is mainly because the lattice of the thin film was expanded due to the oxygen-deficient conditions. Concerning the electrical properties of the thin film, the carrier concentration increases ($6.81\times10^{14}\textrm{cm}^{-2}$) and Hall mobility decreases (36.3 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vㆍs) with higher doping concentration of Ni. However, the carrier concentration and Hall mobility became low ($1.10\times10^{14}\textrm{cm}^2$ and high (209.6 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vㆍs), respectively, after the thermal annealing process at $1000 ^{\circ}C$. We also observed a strong luminescene center peaking at 546 nm in photoluminescence spectra, which was caused by a deep level center in the ZnO band gap with oxygen deficient ZnNiO structure.

Zn diffusions in InP have been studied by electrochemical capacitance voltage. The InP layer was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, and $Zn_3P_2$ thin film was deposited on the epitaxial substrates. The samples annealed in a rapid thermal annealing. It is demonstrated that surface hole concentration as high as $1\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$ can be achieved. When the Zn diffusion was carried at $550^{\circ}C$ and 5-20 min., the diffusion depth of hole concentration moves from 1.51$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 3.23 $\mu\textrm{m}$, and the diffusion coeffcient of Zn is $5.4\times10^{-11}\textrm{cm}^2$/sec. After activation, the concentration is two orders higher than that of untreated sample at 0.30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ depth. As the annealing time is increase, the hole concentration remains almost constant, except deep depth. It means that excess Zn interstitials exist in the doped region is rapidly diffusion into the undoped region and convert into substitutional When the thickness of $SiO_2$ thin film is above 1,000$\AA$, the hole concentration becomes stable distribution.

Aqueous solutions of metallic salts, ZrO(NO3)2.2H2O and Y(NO3)3.5H2O were used as raw materials to synthesize crystalline submicron spherical powders of Zr0.94Y0.06O1.97 with tetragonal crystal phase. Each aqueous solution was mixed on the magnetic stirrer to homogenize for 12 hours. The concentration of the mixed solutionwas changed from 0.01mol/$\ell$ to 0.1mol/$\ell$ calculated as the concentration of Zr0.94Y0.06O1.97. Ultrafine droplets of starting mixed solution were sprayed by the ultrasonic vibrator and carried into the furnace kept at 55$0^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$, 75$0^{\circ}C$ and 85$0^{\circ}C$ using carrier gas of air (10$\ell$/min) and pyrolysed to form Y-TZP fine powders. The results of this exeriment were as follows. 1) Synthesized powders were nonagglomerated and spherical type. 2) Particle size distribution was narrow between 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. 3) Forming reaction Y-TZP was finished above synthetic temperature 75$0^{\circ}C$. 4) As the synthetic temperature rised from 55$0^{\circ}C$ to 85$0^{\circ}C$, the mean particle size decreased from 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.22${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in the concentration of starting solution with 0.02mol/$\ell$. 5) At 75$0^{\circ}C$ of synthetic temperature, the concentration changes of starting solution from 0.01mol/$\ell$ to 0.1mol/$\ell$ increased the mean particle size from 0.24${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.38${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. 6) Chemical compositions of each synthesized particle were homogeneous nearly.

When soybean sprouts aye grown in the closed condition (where the ratio of $\textrm{O}_2$ and $\textrm{CO}_2$ is 7 ： 3), amount of $\textrm{CO}_2$ is increased and $\textrm{O}_2$ is decreased with the passage of time. At the same time, the amount of ethylene is automatically increased. By increasing the concentration of ethylene gas up to 0.5-1.0 ppm in the growth room, the length of sprouts was restricted to 6-7 cm and the thickness of sprouts was increased to 2.70$\pm$0.30 mm. The production of good quality sprouts which were fat and short was possible without application of any growth regulators such as indole-3-acetic acid known to have accumulation problem in humane body. To maintain the freshness during the transportation and prevent sprouts from rotting and bad smell at market, cold storage at 2-$5^{\circ}$ and airtightness which will restrict photosynthesis and respiration (higher than $10^{\circ}$) are needed. The freshness of sprouts is depended on the increase of $\textrm{CO}_2$ and the depletion of $\textrm{O}_2$ in the package. When the sprouts were stored below 1$0^{\circ}C$ (preferably below 8$^{\circ}C$), the concentration of $\textrm{CO}_2$ in the package remained below 30% for more than 60 hours, which was possible to keep sprouts in freshness without any offensive odor, But sprouts were maintained at $13^{\circ}$ for more than 25 hours, the concentration of $\textrm{CO}_2$ increased over 30% and produced an offensive odor. The little amount of $\textrm{O}_2$ gas was existing for 30 hours at $5^{\circ}$ but it was disappeared completely within 7 hours over $10^{\circ}$ and the sprouts became rot and produced severe offensive odor.

Introduction of sliced raw fish meat(SRFM) to fast food business has been considered seriously. However bacteria causing food poisoning should be controlled. Organic acids such as vinegar and lactic acid used in the sauce for SRFM were evaluated for their antibacterial activities. At low concentration levels of vinegar and lactic acid exerted strong antibacterial activities toward Vibriu sp.. In contrast, in case of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 low anitbacterial activities were observed even at relatively high concentrations. Minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of vinegar for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 were 16, 18, 16, 12, 26, and $20{\mu}\ell /m\ell, respertively. MIC of lactic acid for V. vilnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 were 20, 25, 25, 25, 40, and $35{\mu}\ell /m\ell, respectively. In case of vinegar bactericidal concentration upon 10 second contact for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaenolyticus, V. mimicus and E. coli O157:H7 were 8, 14, 10, 4, and 48%, respectively; however, even at 50% colony of S. typhimurium was observed. In case of lactic acid any colony was observed for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 at the concentration of 2, 3, 4, 3, 14, and 17%, respectively. Vinegar and lactic acid of low concentration inhibited the growth of Vibrio sp., food poisoning pathogen in SRFM; in contrast, at high concentration these organic acids inhibited Salmonella sp. and Escherichia sp., food poisoning pathogen in other than SRFM.

ZnO and ZnO:In films were deposited on the glass substrates by a spray pyrolysis method. It is found that ZnO films were polycrystalline with the preferred orientation (002) and have a hexagonal structure with lattice constants of a=3.242 $\AA$ and c=5.237 $\AA$. The crystalline structure of ZnO:In films deposited at the In content of 0~6.03 at. % were the same as that of ZnO films, but its lattice constants was slightly larger than those of ZnO films. The relative atomic ratios of metal ion of ZnO:In films were in accordance with those of the spray solution within the experimental error. The minimum resistivity of and the maximum carrier concentration of 19.1 $\Omega\cdot\textrm{cm}$ and the maximum carrier concentration of $2.11\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3]$ obtained from the ZnO:In films when In content was 2.76 at. %. The optical transmission of the sample grown at the In content of 3.93 at. % was about 95% in the wavelength between 400 and 800 nm.

The permeation characteristics and reclamation efficiency of waste lubricating oil were studied as a function of the types of ceramic composite membranes and the membrane separation process variables. The oil permeability of the TiO2 composite membrane(pore size 0.015 $\mu\textrm{m}$) was directly proportional to the crossflow velocity(0.22∼0.9 m/s) and temperature(150$^{\circ}C$∼200$^{\circ}C$). In the batch concentration process, as the concentration factor increased, both the permeability and the ash content of the permeate decreased. The average ash contents of the total permeate through the A6 alumina membrane(average pore size 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$), Z1/A6 and Z1/A4(pore size 0.23$\mu\textrm{m}$)/A7(pore size 6$\mu\textrm{m}$) zirconia composite membrances(average pore size 0.07$\mu\textrm{m}$) were about 0.063 wt%, 0.045wt% and 0.08wt% in the region of 1∼2 concentration factor, respectively. The ash content of the mixed permeate through the A6 alumina and zirconia composite membrane was about 0.06 wt% and it can be also reduced to 0.06 wt% in the Z1/A6 membrane and below 0.003 wt% in the TiO2/Z1/A6 membrane. It was concluded that the treated oil obtained from the multi-step membrane separation process could be used as reclaimed lubricating oil as well as reclained fuel oil.

The number size distribution of urban aerosols ranging from 0.02 to 20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter was measured by using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) system and an aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer (APS) at Seoul from November 30,2001 to January 14, 2002. The gaseous species such as CO, NO, NO$_2$, and $O_3$ were also continuously monitored. The daily average concentration of urban aerosols sorted into three groups (0.02~0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 0.1~1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1~10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and the typical number, surface, and volume distributions of urban aerosols were discussed in this paper. The weekly variation of aerosol concentration was compared with those of gaseous concentrations. relative humidity, and visibility. The results showed that the particle number concentration seemed to increase in the morning and the number concentration of fine particles less than 1 fm in diameter seemed to increase when the concentrations of CO, NO, and NO$_2$ were high. The number concentration of fine particles was relatively high when the relative humidity was greater than 70％ during the increasing period of relative humidity. The visibility was weakly correlated with the concentration of aerosols ranging 0.1 to 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and the number size distribution for high visibility episode was apparently different from that for low visibility episode.
