The production of extracellular $\alpha$-amylase by Bacillus thuringiensis 19 serotypes was examined by the hydrolysis test of starch. Thirteen serotypes produced the amylase. B. thuringiensis serovar thuringiensis alesti, kurstaki, sotto, kenya, israelensis, morrisoni, entomocidus, tolworthi, thompsoni, toumanoffi, pakistani, and indiana produced tee enzyme. The amylase produced by B. thuringiensis serovar israelensis showed highest activity around pH 6.7 to 7.2 and 55$^{\circ}C$ to $65^{\circ}C$. The high production medium of the amylase was composed of 1% bactopeptone, 0.3% beef-extract, 0.3% yeast ex-tract, 0.5% NaCl, 0.3% $K_2$HPO$_4$, 0.1% KH$_2$PO$_4$, 0.2% Soluble Starch, 0.012% CaCl$_2$.2$H_2O$$_2$, 0.005% MnCl$_2$, and 0.03% MgCl$_2$.7$H_2O$. The highest production of the enzyme was observed at 4 hours culture in the soluble starch (0.6 units/$m\ell$) or glucose (0.43 units/$m\ell$) substrate.

It is sometimes necessary to change the location of the collection conduit, which is constructed in shallow sediments in a stream, if the concentrations of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$ become too high for water treatment. A total of nine wells, including four shallow wells with a depth of 3 m and five deeper wells with a depth of 6 m, were installed in the study area at Naeseong-cheon in Yecheon-gun. The change in hydrogeochemical features of groundwater and the concentrations of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$ were examined at the wells during 5 hours of pumping. As pumping was performed, the velocity of groundwater flow was increased around the pumping well and aeration conditions were developed to precipitate iron and manganese oxides in an oxidizing environment. In addition, the concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Cl^-$ at the pumping well were increased following the mixing of surface water and groundwater. It is suggested that the center region of the stream would be more suitable for a new collection conduit, considering the concentrations of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$ in groundwater and their reducing effect during pumping. The installation of a collection conduit based on field tests performed to ensure water quality enables a reduction in the construction and management costs at water treatment facilities.

[ $Zn_{2(1-x)}Mn_xSiO_4$ ]$0.07{\leq}x{\leq}0.15$) green phosphor was prepared by solid state reaction. The first heating was at $900^{\circ}C-1250^{\circ}C$ in air for 3 hours and the second heating was at $900^{\circ}C$ in $N_2/H_2$(95%/5%) for 2 hours. The size effect of $SiO_2$ in forming $Zn_2SiO_4$ was investigated. The temperature for obtaining single phase $Zn_2SiO_4$ was lowered from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ by decreasing the $SiO_2$ particle size from micro size to submicro size. The effect of the activators for the Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ was also investigated. The PL intensity properties of the phosphors were investigated under vacuum ultraviolet excitation (147 nm). The emission spectrum peak was between 520 nm and 530 nm, which was involved in green emission area. $MnCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, the activator source, was more effective in providing high emission intensity than $MnCO_3$. The optimum conditions for the best optical properties of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ were at x = 0.11 and $1100^{\circ}C$. In these conditions, the phosphor particle shape was well dispersed spherical and its size was 200 nm.

Ferroelectric YMnO$_3$thin films are excellent dielectric materials for high integrated ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) with metal-ferroelectric-silicon field effect transistor (MFSFET) structure. In this study, YMnO$_3$thin films were etched with Cl$_2$/Ar gas chemistries in inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The maximum etch rate of YMnO$_3$thin films is 285 $\AA$/min under Cl$_2$/Ar of 10/0, 600 W/-200 V and 15 mTorr. The selectivities of YMnO$_3$over CeO$_2$and $Y_2$O$_3$are 2.85, 1.72, respectively. The results of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reflect that Y is removed dominantly by chemical reaction between Y and Cl, while Mn is removed more effective by Ar ion bombardment than chemical reaction. The results of secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) were equal to these of XPS. The etch profile of the etched YMnO$_3$film is approximately 65$^{\circ}$and free of residues at the sidewall.

다슬기의 분말(PSB)과 그 회화분(ASB)으로부터 체내 흡수력이 높은 젖산칼슘의 제조조건과 색상, 용해도 및 관능적 품질을 조사하였다. PSB로부터 제조한 젖산칼슘(PSB-CL)의 PSB 및 젖산 100 mL에 대한 수율은 젖산농도가 10%일 때는 300% 및 15 g, 20%일 때는 260% 및 20 g이었으며, ASB로 제조한 젖산칼슘(ASB-CL)의 ASB 및 젖산 100 mL에 대한 수율은 10% 젖산에서는 400% 및 60 g, 20% 젖산에서는 329% 및 66 g으로 원료량을 기준으로 하였을 때는 다같이 젖산농도의 증가에 따라 감소하였으나 젖산의 부피를 기준으로 하였을 때는 젖산농도의 증가에 따라 증가하였다. Dehydated PSB-CL 및 ASB-CL 제조의 적정온도와 시간은 10$0^{\circ}C$에서는 각각 4 및 5시간, 12$0^{\circ}C$에서는 3 및 4시간, 15$0^{\circ}C$에서는 1 및 2시간으로 ASB-LA의 경우가 짧았다. IR 및 H-NMR spectrum의 분석결과 PBS-LA와 ASB-LA의 구조는 Ca($CH_3$CHOH$CO_2$)$_2$임이 확인되었다. 무수 PSB-CL 및 ASB-CL의 칼슘함량은 각각 15.4%(w/w)와 17.3%(w/w)로 이론 값의 각각 84.2%와 94.5%를 나타내었으며, 미량의 Fe, Na, Mn Zn을 함유하였다. PBS-CL와 ASB-CL의 색상은 각각 연한 황색과 연녹색을 지닌 백색을 띠었다. pH 3~8로 조정한 증류수에서 PSB-CL과 ASB-CL의 평균 용해도는 각각 5.43 g/100 mL 및 6.11 g/100 mL로 standard CL의 4.74 g/mL에 비하여 높았다. 국간장을 제외한 대부분의 액체식품(3% 소금물, 소주, 진간장, 국간장, 포도주스 및 오렌지주스)에서의 용해도는 PSB-CL(3.14~5.03 g/100 mL)과 ASB-CL(4.69~6.05 g/100 mL)이 standard CL(2.94~5.84 g/100 mL)에 비하여 높았다. 관능검사 결과, ASB-CL은 신맛이 낮아 사용범위가 높은 것으로 평가되었으며 PSB-CL는 쓴맛은 높으나 떫은맛이 낮고 구수한 맛이 강하여 식품에의 응용이 기대된다.

New complex $[Mn(II)H_{1.5}L]_2[Mn(II)H_3L]_2(ClO_4)_5{\cdot}3H_2O$ (1), where $H_3L$ is tris {2-(4-imidazolyl)methyliminoethyl} amine (imtren), has been prepared by reacting manganese(II) perchlorate hexahydrate with the imtren ligand in methanol. X-ray crystallographic study revealed that the imtren ligand hexadentately binds to Mn(II) ion through the three Schiff-base imine N atoms and three imidazole N atoms with a distorted octahedral geometry, and the apical tertiary amine N atom of the ligand pseudo-coordinates to Mn(II), forming overall a pseudo-seven coordination environment. The hydrogen-bonds between imidazole and imidazolate of $[Mn(II)H_{1.5}L]^{0.5+}$ complex ions are extended to build a 2D puckered network with trigonal voids. $[Mn(II)H_3L]^{2+}$ complex ions constitutes another extended 2D puckered layer without hydrogen bonds. Two layers are wedged each other to constitute overall stack of the crystal. Peroxidase activity of complex 1 was examined by observing the oxidation of 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of complex 1. Generation of $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ was observed by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopies, indicating that the complex 1, a fully-coordinated mononuclear Mn(II) complex with nitrogen-only ligand, has a heme-independent peroxidase activity.

The $ZnGa_2O_4$:Mn phosphor was synthesized through solid-state reactions at the various molar ratio of Mn from 0.002 % to 0.01 %. Structural and optical properties of the $ZnGa_2O_4$:Mn phosphor was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements. The XRD patterns show that the Mn-doped $ZnGa_2O_4$ has a (311) main peak and a spinel phase. Also the emission wavelength shifts from 420 to 510 nm in comparison with $ZnGa_2O_4$ when Mn is doped in $ZnGa_2O_4$. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$:Mn phosphors hold promise for potential applications in field-emission display devices with high brightness operating in green spectral regions.

Amorphous MnO$_2$$.$ nH$_2$O in 1M KOH aqueous electrolyte proves to be an excellent electrode for a faradic electrochemical capacitor cycled between -0.5 and +1.0 versus Ag/AgCl. In order to observe morphology and crystalline structure of MnO$_2$powder, we analyzed it by XRD and SEM. The effect of oxidation treatment on MnO$_2$electrode was observed by different oxidation voltages. A maximum capacitance of 364F/g was obtained by 1.1V oxidation treatment. This capacitance was attributed solely to a surface redox mechanism

Chronic exposure to high levels of manganese (Mn) leads a pronounced and debilitating disorder known as manganism. Research on the toxic manifestation of manganese have focused primarily on its neurological effects because exposure to high levels of the metal produces a distinct and irreversible extrapyramidal dysfunction resembling the dystonic movements associated with Parkinson's physiological and biochemical systems in the body. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Mn on mineralization in primary rat calvarial cells. The experimental groups were in concentration of 0, 10, 30 and 60 ${\mu}M$. The results were as follows: 1. ALP activity was decreased in concentration of 30 and 60 ${\mu}M$ (p<0.01). 2. Bone nodule formation was depressed in concentration of 30 and 60 ${\mu}M$ at day 14 and 21 (p<0.01). 3. RT-PCR results showed an altered expression of bone matrix proteins. These result suggested that manganese might decrease or alter the expression of the osteoblast phenotype.
