Salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits rice productivity in many regions of the world. In order to develop salt stress tolerant rice plants, genetic engineering is a promising approach. We characterized the molecular function of rice C3H2C3 as a really interesting new gene (RING). Oryza sativa RING finger protein H2-3 (OsRFPH2-3) was highly expressed in 100 mM NaCl. To identify the localization of OsRFPH2-3, we fused vectors that include C-terminal GFP protein (35S;;OsRFPH2-3-GFP). OsRFPH2-3 was expressed in the nucleus in rice protoplasts. An in vitro ubiquitin assay demonstrated that OsRFPH2-3 possessed E3-ubiquitin ligase activity. However, the mutated OsRFPH2-3 were not possessed any E3-ubiquitin ligase activity. Under salinity conditions, OsRFPH2-3-overexpressing plants exhibited higher chlorophyll, proline, SOD, POD, CAT, and soluble sugar contents and lower H₂O₂ accumulation than wild-type plants, supporting transgenic plants with enhanced salinity tolerance phenotypes. OsRFPH2-3-overexpressing plants exhibited low Na+ accumulation and Na+/K+ ratios in their roots. Theses results suggest that overexpression of OsRFPH2-3 can make plant insensitivity about salinity conditions.

Catalytic gasification of cellulose was carried out in a U-type fixed reactor with Ni loaded MSU-F catalyst (Ni/MSU-F) and Ni loaded ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ (Ni/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$). The characteristics of the catalysts were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction, $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. The operation conditions of catalytic gasification reactions were $750^{\circ}$ and 0.2 equivalence ratio. Air was used as gasification agent. Catalytic gasification characteristics, such as gas yield and gas composition ($H_2$, CO, $CO_2$, $C_1-C_4$), were measured and calculated. The gas yield of Ni/MSU-F was much higher than that of Ni/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Especially high amount of hydrogen was produced by Ni/MSU-F.

In this paper, $TiO_{2}-V_{2}O_{5}$ humidity sensors are fabricated by Sol-Gel method. For the establishment of optimum processing condition which is good humidity sensitive characteristics for specimens, their microstructures and crystalline-structures are analysed. Grain size increases with substitution rate of $V^{5+}$ on $Ti^{4+}$ site. From the analysis of XRD, $V^{5+}$ peak can't confirm with $V_{2}O_{5}$ rate. Their humidity sensitive characteristics is good at 1mol% of $V_{2}O_{5}$ rate and heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$. The capacitance of specimens decreases with frequency.

Alane(aluminum trihydride, $AlH_3$) is a candidate material involving high energetic capacity for solid propellant or explosives. In this study aluminum trihydride-etherate ($AlH_3{\cdot}(C_2H_5)_2O$) was synthesized through a wet process, and solid alane was extracted by controlled crystallization. Alane crystals were grown during the crystallization step with phase conversion of aluminum trihydride-etherate to alane using an anti-solvent. Stable crystal forms were found by a 2 hour crystallization process at $85^{\circ}C$. Finally the extracted solid aluminium trihydride consisted mainly of ${\gamma}-type$ with $50-100{\mu}m$ in size.

The CNDO/2 method has been used to calculate the electronic structure of the zeolites and silicas, and to investigate the interaction of CO molecules with the OH groups or the exchanged cation in the zeolites. The interaction energies of CO molecules with OH groups in silica were ca. 12kcal/mol, the bond distance, R(O-H${\cdots}$C) was 2.6${\AA}$. The strength of bond between CO molecules and various types of cations in the zeolites was in the following order: $H^+ < Na^+ < Li^+$, i.e., this increased with increasing electrostatic field of cations. The bond orders of CO molecules interacting with the OH groups or the cations increased but for the OH-OC type interaction. The theoretical decationization energies of exchanged cations in the zeolites decreased in the order: $H^+ > Li^+ > Na^+$. And these energies depended on the amount of charge density transfered from the skeleton to the cations in order to compensate its negative charge.

$Y_2O_3$-SiC composite membrane was dip-coated using $Y_2O_3$ sol solution; this membrane was compared with a non- coated one. Each membrane was characterized by XRD, FE-SEM and BET techniques. Hydrogen and CO permeation were tested with self-manufactured Sievert's type equipment. $Y_2O_3$ coating was enhanced for the selectivity of the membrane ($H_2$ versus CO). The hydrogen permeation was measured at 1 bar with increasing temperatures. In case of the coated membrane, hydrogen permeation was found to be $1.24{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2sPa$ with perm-selectivity of 4.26 at 323 K.

The diamond synthesis by combustion flame method is considerably affected by the substrate surface temperature and its distribution which are mainly controlled by the ratio of mixed gas, $O_2/C_2H_2$. In order to elucidate the role of gas ratio in the diamond synthetic process by combustion flame, under various gas ratios (R=0.87~0.98; R=ratio of flow-rate of $O_2/C_2H_2$ gas) the substrate temperature was measured by using thermal video system and the morphological change of diamond crystals was analysed by using SEM, Raman spectroscope, and X-ray diffraction method. With increasing the gas ratio, i.e., decreasing the hydrocarbon content, the nucleation rate of diamond crystal was lowerd. It was also found that the morphology of diamond crystals changed from the cubo-octahedron type consisting of (100), (111) plane to the octahedron type of (111) plane. The increase of the substrate temperature consistently resulted in the increase of the nucleation rate as well as the growth rate of diamond crystals in which the surface of diamond crystal dominantly consisting of (100) plane.

In this paper, $Al_2O_3$ film deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) with diluted $NH_4OH$ instead of $H_2O$ was suggested for passivation layer and anti-reflection (AR) coating of the p-type crystalline Si (c-Si) solar cell application. It was confirmed that the deposition rate and refractive index of $Al_2O_3$ film was proportional to the $NH_4OH$ concentration. $Al_2O_3$ film deposited with 5 % $NH_4OH$ has the greatest negative fixed oxide charge density ($Q_f$), which can be explained by aluminum vacancies ($V_{Al}$) or oxygen interstitials ($O_i$) under O-rich condition. $Al_2O_3$ film deposited with $NH_4OH$ 5 % condition also shows lower interface trap density ($D_{it}$) distribution than those of other conditions. At $NH_4OH$ 5 % condition, moreover, $Al_2O_3$ film shows the highest excess carrier lifetime (${\tau}_{PCD}$) and the lowest surface recombination velocity ($S_{eff}$), which are linked with its passivation properties. The proposed $Al_2O_3$ film deposited with diluted $NH_4OH$ is very promising for passivation layer and AR coating of the p-type c-Si solar cell.

A series of DTPA-bis(amides) functionalized by pyridine (1a-c) and N-phenylpicolinamide) (1d-e) and their Gd(III)-complexes of the type [Gd(1)($H_2O$)]·x$H_2O$ (2a-e) were prepared and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Potentiality of 2a-e as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI CA) was investigated by measuring relevant physicochemical properties and relaxivities and compared with [Gd(DTPA-BMA)($H_2O$)] (DTPA-BMA=N,N''-di(methylcarbamoylmethyl)diethylenetriamine-N,N',N''-triacetate) ($Omniscan^{(R)}$). The R1 relaxivities of aqueous solutions of 2a-c are in the range of 3.33 -5.02 $mM^{-1}$$sec^{-1}$, which are comparable with those of $Omniscan^{(R)}$ (r1=4.58 $mM^{-1}sec^{-1}$). Complexes 2d-e, insoluble in water, exhibit relatively higher R1 values (8.1- 8.3 $mM^{-1}sec^{-1}$) in HP-$\beta$-CD solutions.

The purpose of this study is to propose a method of controlling redtide microbes which grow abundantly and form harmful algal bloom in eutrophic waterbody with yellow loess and hydrogen peroxide. In the laboratory test, hydrogen peroxide was applied to single species of C. polykrikoides and multispecies of redtide microbes. The seawater was evaluated by the pre-test analysis including chlorophyll-a, luminance and transmittance. The test results showed that both single and mixed species of redtide microbes could be controlled with the dose of 30mg $H_2O_2/L$. Residual hydrogen peroxide was completely decomposed with the addition of powdered yellow loess at 2g/L~10g/L. However, the decomposition rate of residual hydrogen peroxide for sintered granular yellow loess was relatively low compared to the use of powdered one. With the addition of dissolved oxygen concentration was increased at a rate of 0.013 mg DO/mg $H_2O_2$, which is a little lower than the one predicted theoretically. No evidence for any detrimental effects on Artemia, a type of brine shrimps, was shown up to the concentration of 100mg $H_2O_2/L$.
