Magnesium alloy sheet which is commercially available in the market presently is AZ31B, a Mg-Al-Zn three elements alloy. AZ31B is used by being classified into AZ31B-H24 and AZ31B-O depending on temper designation. In this study, AZ31B-H24 and AZ31B-O alloy sheets with 1.25mm thickness were butt-welded using CW Nd:YAG laser. And the effect of materials on mechanical properties was investigated by tensile and hardness tests. As a result of this study, regardless of materials, the butt-welded joint did not show a significant difference in tensile strength and hardness values. However, compared with the basemetal, the AZ31B-O showed more outstanding mechanical properties than AZ31B-H24, and that is because H24 material lost the effect of work hardening during welding.

Magnesium-protoporphyrin IX (Mg-PPn), which is formed through chelation of protoporphyrin IX (PPn) with Mg ion by Mg chelatase, is the first intermediate for the (bacterio)chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway. Interestingly, Mg-PPn provides peroxidase activity (approximately $4{\times}10^{-2}units/{\mu}M$) detoxifying $H_2O_2$ in the presence of electron donor(s). The peroxidase activity was not detected unless PPn was chelated with Mg ion. Mg-PPn was found freely diffusible through the membrane of Escherichia coli and Vibrio vulnificus, protecting the cells from $H_2O_2$. Furthermore, unlike photosensitizers such as tetracycline and PPn, Mg-PPn did not show any phototoxicity, but rather it protected cell from ultraviolet (UV)-A-induced stress. Thus, the exogenous Mg-PPn could be used as an antioxidant and a UV block to protect cells from $H_2O_2$ stress and UV-induced damage.

A study was made on the processing of domestic blast furnace slag by flotation and chemical purification for the use of slag as a raw material in making soda lime glasses. Feasibility study has been made for the use of reprocessing slag as a source material for both coloring and chemical components (such as CaO, $Al_2O_3$, MgO and etc.) in the glass making process. Chemical composition of chemically purified slags ranges; $SiO_2$ 34.5~37.5, $Al_2O_3$, 16.2~14.1, $Fe_2O_3$ 0.33~0.14, CaO 34.5~38.8, MgO 4.0~5.2, NmO 0.16~0.39, $TiO_2$ 0.23~0.35, S 0.08~0.42, ignition loss 3.3~8.4 and others 0.48~0.51%. It was found that either amber or greenish color could be easily obtained with the addition of salg up to 24%, however the slag addition to glass batches much impaired the transmitancy of glass products, thus a glass made with 7% slag addition showed 82% in transmitancy value at 510 nm.

High-performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC) coupled with reversed-phase highperformance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed to isolate dihydrophaseic acid 3'-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (DHPAG) from the extract of Nelumbo nucifera seeds. Enriched DHPAG sample (2.3 g) was separated by HPCCC using ethyl acetate/n-butanol/water system (6:4:10, v/v/v, normal-phase mode, flow rate: 4.0 mL/min) to give 23.1 mg of DHPAG with purity of 88.7%. Further preparative RP-HPLC experiment gave pure DHPAG (16.3 mg, purity > 98%). The current study demonstrates that utilization of CCC method maximizes the isolation efficiency compared with that of solid-based conventional column chromatography.

Denitrification rate was determined for various freshwater wetland types in the Mississippi River Coastal delta plain. Site 1 and 4 were collected from forested-tupelo dominated wetland, and site 2 and 3 were from floating emergent marsh. The maximum $N_2O$ emission was $7.47mg\;N\;m^{-2}$ for site 1 at day 6 after the addition of nitrate, $6.96mg\;N\;m^{-2}$ for site 2 at day 4, $6.63mg\;N\;m^{-2}$ for site 3 at day 3, and $9.64mg\;N\;m^{-2}$ for site 4 at day 4. The denitrification rate was determined using the acetylene inhibition method $1.24mg\;N\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$ for site 1, $1.93mg\;N\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$ for site 2, $2.24mg\;N\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$ for site 3, and $2.78mg\;N\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$ for site 4. The maximum denitrification rate was in the order of site 4 > site 3 > site 2 > site 1.

[011] poled ternary Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals have been investigated for active materials for acoustic transducers because of their high piezoelectric properties in both shear and transverse modes. In order to use [011] poled PIN-PMN-PT single crystals for acoustic transducers, the characterization of full-matrix material properties is required. In this study, full sets of compliance, dielectric, and piezoelectric constants of [011] poled rhombohedral PIN-PMN-PT were measured by a resonance method. Dimensions and geometries of 12 samples were proposed for measuring 17 independent material constants of [011] poled rhombohedral PIN-PMN-PT single crystals. Two sets of samples with different PT concentrations, 0.24PIN-0.49PMN-0.27PT and 0.24PIN-0.46PMN-0.30PT, were fabricated and their material properties were measured. Measured impedance spectra and simulated impedance spectra of the samples were compared to check the accuracy of the measurements.

The extraction of metallic pure vanadium powder from raw oxide has been tried by Mg-reduction. In first stage, $V_2O_5$ powders as initial raw material was reduced by hydrogen gas into $V_2O_3$ phase. $V_2O_3$ powder was reduced in next stage by magnesium gas at 1,073K for 24 hours. After reduction reaction, the MgO component mixed with reduced vanadium powder were dissolved and removed fully in 10% HCl solution for 5 hours at room temperature. The oxygen content and particle size of finally produced vanadium powders were 0.84 wt% and 1 ${\mu}m$, respectively

Reducing $[Mg^{2+}]_o$ to 0.1 mM can evoke repetitive $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ spikes and seizure activity, which induces neuronal cell death in a process called excitotoxicity. We examined the issue of whether cultured rat hippocampal neurons preconditioned by a brief exposure to 0.1 mM $[Mg^{2+}]_o$ are rendered resistant to excitotoxicity induced by a subsequent prolonged exposure and whether $Ca^{2+}$ spikes are involved in this process. Preconditioning by an exposure to 0.1 mM $[Mg^{2+}]_o$ for 5 min inhibited significantly subsequent 24 h exposure-induced cell death 24 h later (tolerance). Such tolerance was prevented by both the NMDA receptor antagonist D-AP5 and the L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel antagonist nimodipine, which blocked 0.1 mM $[Mg^{2+}]_o$-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ spikes. The AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX significantly inhibited both the tolerance and the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ spikes. The intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ chelator BAPTA-AM significantly prevented the tolerance. The nonspecific PKC inhibitor staurosporin inhibited the tolerance without affecting the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ spikes. While $G{\ddot{o}}6976$, a specific inhibitor of $PKC{\alpha}$ had no effect on the tolerance, both the $PKC{\varepsilon}$ translocation inhibitor and the $PKC{\zeta}$ pseudosubstrate inhibitor significantly inhibited the tolerance without affecting the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ spikes. Furthermore, JAK-2 inhibitor AG490, MAPK kinase inhibitor PD98059, and CaMKII inhibitor KN-62 inhibited the tolerance, but PI-3 kinase inhibitor LY294,002 did not. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide significantly inhibited the tolerance. Collectively, these results suggest that low $[Mg^{2+}]_o$ preconditioning induced excitotoxic tolerance was directly or indirectly mediated through the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ spike-induced activation of $PKC{\varepsilon}$ and $PKC{\xi}$, JAK-2, MAPK kinase, CaMKII and the de novo synthesis of proteins.

본 연구에서는 오존분해 된 슬러지를 인 방출을 위한 외부 탄소원으로 사용하기 적절한지 평가하기 위하여 오존 주입량 변화에 따라 오존분해된 슬러지의 성상변화와 함께 인 방출 실험 및 VFA(Volatile Fatty Acid) 생성량을 살펴보았다. 슬러지를 오존 주입량 0.5 g $O_3/g$ SS로 분해했을 경우 TCOD(Total Chemical Oxygen Demand)와 TSS(Total Suspended Solid)는 오존분해 전 7050, 4900 mg/L에서 5850, 2867 mg/L로 각각 17, 41% 감소하였다. 또한, pH는 6.6에서 3.8로 감소하였고, SCOD(Soluble Chemical Oxygen Demand)는 38.7 mg/L에서 2760 mg/L로 약 70배 증가함을 보였다. 오존 분해에 의해 acetic acid와 같은 VFA도 새로이 생성됨을 확인하였다. Acetic acid의 경우 0.05 g $O_3/g$ SS로 분해된 슬러지에서 50.24 mg/L가 생성되었으며, 0.5 g $O_3/g$ SS로 분해된 슬러지의 경우는 123.56 mg/L로 증가되었다. 그러나 혐기성 소화에 의한 VFA의 증가량은 0.05 g $O_3/g$ SS로 분해된 슬러지에서 Acetic acid가 50.24 mg/L에서 219.28 mg/L로 가장 많이 증가되었다. 또한 낮은 오존 주입량(0.05, 01 g $O_3/g$ SS)으로 분해된 슬러지에서 관찰되지 않았던 Propionic acid는 46 mg/L가 새로이 증가하였다. 그 외 혐기성 소화로 인해 n-Butyric Acid, Propionic Acid, n-Butyric Acid, Isovaleric Acid, Valleric Acid의 농도도 증가하였다. 오존 주입량에 따라 SCOD, VFA의 농도는 증가하지만 인 방출 속도 및 경제성을 고려하여 적정 오존 주입 농도는 0.05-0.1 g $O_3/g$ SS로 조사되었다.
