The chemical characteristics of precipitation was investigated in Pusan area. Samples were collected from January to November in 1996 at 4 sites, and analyzed pH, major soluble ionic components(C $l^{[-10]}$ , N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, N $a^{+}$, $K^{+}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$). The order of anion and cation concentrations for the initial precipitation were C $l^{[-10]}$ ＞ S $O_4$$^{2-}$ ＞ N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , and $Ca^{2+}$ ＞ N $a^{+}$ ＞ N $H_4$$^{+}$ ＞ $Mg^{2+}$ ＞ $K^{+}$, respectively. At coastal sites(P1 and P2) C $l^{[-10]}$ and N $a^{+}$ of maritime sources (seasalt) were high, but at inland sites(P3 and P4) nss-C $a^{2+}$ and nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ were high. Calcium ion for the initial precipitation showed high value of enrichement factor(EF) relative to seawater composition. The contribution of seasalt to the composition of precipitation was higher at bite P1 (53.5%) than those of the other sites. Throughout the year the concentrations of major ions for the initial precipitation were low in the heavy rain season. The mean pH for the initial precipitation was 5.4 and showed the negative relationship with the precipitaion amount. The S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ do not play an important role in rain acidification due to the high(97%) neutralizing effect of amonia and calcium species.and calcium species.

The electrical properties and stability of Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-based ZnO wvaristors consisting of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-CoO-Dy$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ based ceramics were investigated in the Dy$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ additive content range o 0.0 to 2.0 mol%. The density was nearly constant 5.62 g/cm$^3$corresponding to 97% of theoretical density as Dy$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ additive content increases up to 0.5 mol%. However the density decreased as Dy$_{2}$/O sub 3/ additive content is further additive content. Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-based ZnO varistors doped with 0.5mol% Dy$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ exhibited a good nonlinearity, which is 37.76 in the nonlinear exponent and 5.36 $mutextrm{A}$ in the leakage current. And they exhibited very stress (0.80 V$_{1mA}$/9$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.85 V$_{1mA}$/115$^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$/1$25^{\circ}C$/12h). Consequently it was estimated that ZnO-0.5 mol% Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-1.0 mol% CoO-0.5 mol% Dy$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ based ceramics will be sufficiently used as a basic composition to develop the advanced Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-based ZnO varistors in the future.he future.uture.he future.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the lactoperoxidase (LP) system on the acid production of gel type yogurt. The LP system was activated by adding freshly prepared solutions of 1 ppm (v/w) lactoperoxidase and three different concentrations (0.125 mM, 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM) in equimolar ratios of KSCN and $(H_{2}O_{2}$, In 0.25 mM treated samples for the 4 hr fermentation resulted in titratable acidity of $0.4{\%}$, pH of 5.06, lactic acid bacterial count of $3.0{\times}10^{8}\;CFU/ml and acetaldehyde concentration of 10.2 ppm, whereas the untreated samples were 1.0%, 4.54, $4.7{\times}10^{9}\;CFU/ml and 18.0 ppm, respectively. The residual amount of KSCN in 0.25 mM treated samples was determined during the experiments, which decreased to 4.4 ppm. There was no detectable $(H_{2}O_{2}$ for 6 hr fermentation. However, residual KSCN and $(H_{2}O_{2}$ concentrations in 0.5mM treated samples were 5.7 and 8.4 ppm, respectively. These results have indicated that the optimum concentration of $(H_{2}O_{2}$ and KSCN to activate the LP system was 0.25 mM each.

An investigation of rare metals recovery from LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂ cathode material of the end-of-life lithium-ion batteries is presented. To determine the influence of reductant on the leach process, the cathode material (containing Li 7.6%, Co 20.4%, Mn 19.4%, and Ni 19.3%) was leached in H₂SO₄ solutions either with or without H₂O₂. The optimal process parameters with respect to acid concentration, addition dosage of H₂O₂, temperature, and the leaching time were found to be 2.0 M H₂SO₄, 4 vol.% H₂O₂, 70℃, and 150 min, respectively. The yield of metal values in the leach liquor was > 99%. The leach liquor was subsequently treated by precipitation techniques to recover nickel as Ni(C₄H₇N₂O₂)₂ and lithium as Li₂CO₃ with stoichiometric ratios of 2:1 and 1.2:1 of dimethylglyoxime:Ni and Na₂CO₃:Li, respectively. Cobalt was recovered by solvent extraction following a 3-stage process using Na-Cyanex 272 at pH_eq ~5.0 with an organic-to-aqueous phase ratio (O/A) of 2/3. The loaded organic phase was stripped with 2.0 M H₂SO₄ at an O/A ratio of 8/1 to yield a solution of 114 g/L CoSO₄; finally recovered CoSO₄.xH₂O by crystallization. The process economics were analyzed and found to be viable with a margin of $476 per ton of the cathode material.

[ $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{1-x}Cu_xO_{3-{\alpha}}$ ](X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) perovskites were prepared by coprecipitation method at pH 7 or pH 11 and its catalytic activity of selective CO oxidation was investigated. The characteristics of these catalysts were analyzed by $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), SEM, $O_2$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD). The pH value at a preparation step made effect on particle morphology. The smaller particle was obtained with a condition of pH 7. The better catalytic activity was observed using catalysts prepared at pH 7 than pH 11. The maximum CO conversion of 98% was observed over $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.7}Cu_{0.3}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ at $320^{\circ}C$. Below $200^{\circ}C$, the most active catalyst was $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.9}Cu_{0.1}O_{3-{\alpha}}$, of which conversion was 92% at $200^{\circ}C$. By the substitution of Cu, the evolution of ${\alpha}$-oxygen was remarkably enhanced regardless of pH value at preparation step according to $O_2$-TPD. Among the different ${\alpha}$-oxygen species, the oxygen species evolved between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, gave the better catalytic performance for selective CO oxidation including $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}CoO_3$ in which Cu was absent.

Sagunjatang (Sagunja), containing Radix Astragali, Radix Ginseng, Fructus Schizandrae, Radix Ophiopogonis and Radix Glycyrrhizae, has been used as a prescription for ischemic heart and brain diseases in Korean traditional medicine. This study was designed to investigate the protective mechanisms of Sagunja on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity of H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Treatment with $H_2O_2$ resulted in death of H9c2 cells, characterized by apparent apoptotic features, including the fragmentation of nucleus and increase in sub-GO/G1fraction of cell cycle. However, Sagunja markedly suppressed the apoptotic characteristics of H9c2 cells induced by $H_2O_2$ with decrease of intracellular peroxide level. In addition, Sagunja suppressed the features of mitochondrial dysfunction, including change of mitochondrial membrane potential, in $H_2O_2$- treated cells. Additionally, Sagunja induced the expression of HO-1 protein in both time-and dose-dependent manner. The role of HO-1 in ROS-scavenging activity of Sagunja is proposed.

The rates of the reaction Of $[MoO_2(S_2CNC_4H_8)_2]$ with triphenylphosphine in 1,2-dichloroethane have been by the spectrophotometric method. The increase in absorbance at 514 nm has been interpreted as a result of production of $[Mo_2O_3(S_2CNC_4H_8)_4]$ and the decrease in absorbance then corresponds to the reduction of $[Mo_2O_3(S_2CNC_4H_8)_4]$. The data suggest mechanisms involving the formation of $\mu$-oxo dimer in the first stage and molybdenum(IV) in the second stage.

Es wurden die Protonenspektren $wa{\beta}rigerH_2{^{17}}O$-haltige Erdalkalimetall-und Tetraalkylammoniumchlorid-Losungen bei $25^{\circ}$ und verschiededenen pH-Werten mit Hilfe der kernmagnetischen Resonanz-spektroskopie aufgenommen. Aus der Halbwertsbreite der Signale wurde die Austauschrate des Protons im Wassermolekul berechnet. Die Austauschrate, die in diesen Losungen beobachtet werden konnte, ist pH-abhangig. Bemerkernwerterweise ist die minimalle Austauschrate pH-abhangig. Dieses letztere Phanomen wird durch den Strukturbildungseffekt der Erdalkalimetallchloride und die hydrophobe Hydratation an Tetraalkylammoniumionen erklart.

p-i-n 형 비정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지에서 p층은 창물질(window material)로서 전기 전도도가 크고, 빛 흡수가 적어야한다. p층의 두께가 얇으면 p층 전체가 depletion layer가 되고 충분한 diffusion potential을 얻을 수 없어 open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$)가 작아진다. 반대로 p층 두께가 두꺼워지면 빛 흡수가 증가하고, 표면 재결합이 문제가 되어 변환효율이 감소한다. 밴드갭이 큰 물질로 창층을 제작하게 되면 보다 짧은 파장의 입사광이 직접 i층을 비추므로 Short-circuit current ($I_{sc}$) 와 fill factor를 증가시킬 수 있다. 하여 본 연구에서는 기존의 창층으로 사용되는 Boron을 doping한 p-type a-Si:H 대신에 $N_2O$를 첨가한 p-type a-$SiO_x$:H의 $N_2O$ flow rate에 따른 밴드갭의 변화에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. p-type a-$SiO_x$:H Layer는 $SiH_4$, $H_2$, $N_2O$, $B_2H_6$ 가스를 혼합하여 증착하게 되는데 $SiH_4$, 가스와 $H_2$ 가스의 혼합비는 1:20, $B_2H_6$ 농도는 0.5%로 고정 하였으며 $N_2O$의 flow rate을 가변하며 증착하였다. $N_2O$의 가변조건은 5에서 50sccm으로 가변하여 증착하며 일반적으로 사용되는 RF-PECVD (13.56MHz)를 이용하였고 증착 온도는 175도, 전극간의 거리는 40mm, 파워와 압력은 30W, 700mTorr로 고정하여 진행하였다. 전기적 특성을 알아보기 위해 eagle 2000 Glass를 사용하였고 구조적 특성은 p-type wafer를 사용하여 각각 대략 200nm의 두께로 증착하였다. 증착 두께는 Ellipsometry를 이용하였으며 전기 전도도는 Agilent사의 4156c를 구조적특성은 FT-IR을 사용하여 측정하였다. Conductivity(${\sigma}_d$)는 $N_2O$가 증가함에 따라 $8.73\;{\times}\;10^{-6}$에서 $5.06\;{\times}\;10^{-7}$으로 감소하였고 optical bandgap ($E_{opt}$)은 1.71eV에서 2.0eV로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 reflective index(n)의 경우는 4.32에서 3.52로 감소함을 나타내었다. 기존의 p-type a-Si:H에 비해 상당한 $E_{opt}$을 가지므로 빛 흡수에 의한 손실을 줄임으로서 $V_oc$를 향상 시킬 수 있으며 동시에 짧은 파장에서의 입사광이 직접 i층을 비추므로 $I_{sc}$와 FF를 향상 시킬 수 있으리라 예상된다. 다소 낮은 전도도만 개선한다면 고효율의 박막 태양전지를 제작 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
