Theoretical predictions of the atmospheric equilibrium involving $HNO_3, NH_3 and NH_4NO_3$ were compared with atmospheric measurements of particulate nitrate$(NO_3^-)$, $HNO_3$ and $NH_3$ concentration by triple filter pack sampler and Andersen air sampler in Seoul from 8th to 11th Oct 1991. The measured $HNO_3-NH_3$ concentration product K was higher than equilibrium costant Kc calculated from thermodynamic data of $HN_4NO_{3(s)} -HNO_{3(g)} -NH_{3(g)}$. The cause of K is greater than Kc was the result of air pollution, partcicularly anthropogenic $NH_3$.

The tetranuclear complexes, $X_2[M_{O4}O_12{R'C(NH_2)NO}_2](X= n-Bu_4N^+$, $R'=(CH_3)_2CH$, $CH_3CH_2CH_2$, $CH_3SCH_2$; $X=(CH_3)_2CHC(=NH_2)NH_2^+$, $R'=(CH_3)_2CH$; $X = CH_3CH_2CH_2C(=NH_2)NH_2^+$, $R'=CH_3_CH_2CH_2$; $X=CH_3SCH_2C(=NH_2)NH_2^+$, $R'=CH_3SCH_2)$ have been synthesized by the reactions of monomeric and polynuclear complexes with isobutyl-, butyl- and thiomethylacetamidoxime. The prepared complexes were identified by elemental analysis, infrared, $^1H$ NMR and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy. The structure of complex ${(CH_3)_2CHC(NH_2)_2}_2[M_{O4}O_{12}{(CH_3)_2CHC(NH_2)NO}_2]$ was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Crystal data are follows: Monoclinic, $P2_{1/c}$, $a=10.168(3){\AA}$, $b=11.768(1){\AA}$, $c=13.557(1){\AA}$, ${\beta}=102.08(1)^{\circ}$, $V=1586.2(5){\AA}^3$, Z=2, final R=0.026 for 2951($F_0>3s(F_0)$). This complex is composed of a planar cyclic $[Mo_4({\mu}-O)_4]$ and two ${\mu}_4$-amidoximate.

The effect of NO$_3$-N and NH$_4$-N ratio on the growth of Perilla frutescens in deep flow culture was studied in winter season. NO$_3$-N and NH$_4$-N were treated in the ratios of 12 : 0, 9 : 3, 6 : 6(me/ $\ell$ ). The pH of the nutrient solution was increased an NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N=12 : 0 treatment, and decreased in the treatments containing NH$_4$-N, greatly in NO$_3$-N : NH$_4$-N = 6 : 6 treatment. The EC was increased regardless of treatments, but more increased in the treatments containing NH$_4$-N. The stem-base circumference, plant height, root weight, shoot weight, and yields of leaves were by far the highest in NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N=6 : 6 treatment and the lowest in NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N= 12 : 0 treatment. Among the mineral contents of leaves, N, K, Fe and P were higher in the treatments containing NH$_4$-N. Ca, Mg and Mn were higher in NO$_3$-N :NH$_4$-N= 12 : 0 treatment.

Uptake and distribution of labelled urea, $NH{_4}^+$, and $NO{_3}^-$ by Tongil and Jinheung rice grown with each nitrogen source until ear formation stage under water culture system were as follows. 1. When the previous nitrogen source was same as one tested the uptake rate ($mg^{15}N/g$ d.w. root 2hrs, at $28^{\circ}C$ light) was great in the order of $NH_4$ >urea> $NO_3$ and higher (especially $NH_4$) in Tongil than in Jinheung. Rate limiting step (slowest) seems to be exist at R (root)${\rightarrow}$LS(leaf sheath) for urea, LS${\rightarrow}$LB(leaf blade) for $NH_4$ and M(medium)${\rightarrow}$R for $NO_3$. The fast step of translocation appeare to be at M${\rightarrow}$R for urea R${\rightarrow}$LS for $NH_4$ and LS${\rightarrow}$LB for $NO_3$. 2. The uptake rate of $NH_4$ by the urea-fed plant increased almost linearly from $18^{\circ}C$ via $28^{\circ}C$ to $38^{\circ}C$ in Tongil ($Q_{10}$=1.21 and 1.32 respectively) while no change in Jinheung ($Q_{10}$=0.99 and 1.00 respectively). It decreased by 12% in Jinheung under dark but uo change in Tongil. 3. The uptake rate of nitrogen source by different source-fed plant was great in the order of $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ $NO_3{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4$, $urea{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ and higher (especially $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$) in Tongil. In the case of $urea{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4$ it was same in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ for Tongil and slightly lower than that in $NO_3{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4$ for Jinheung. It was lower (especially Tongil) in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ than in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4 $ 4. The uptake rate (in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$) was higher during 15 minutes than during 2 hours and always higher in Tongil. 5. $^{15}N$ excess % and content in each part, and uptake rate of root seems to have their own significance relatling with metabolism and translocation respectively. The change of nitrogen nutritional environment and source preference of varieties were discussed in relation to field condition and efficient use of nitrogen fertilizer.

BACKGROUND: Objective of this study was to investigate adsorption characteristics of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull in respective to mitigation of greenhouse gases. METHODS AND RESULTS: $NH_4-N$ concentration was analyzed by UV spectrophotometer. For adsorption experiment of $NH_4-N$ to biochar, input amount of biochar was varied from 0.4 to 10 g/L with 30 mg/L $NH_4-N$ solution. Its adsorption characteristic was investigated with application of Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption amount and removal rates of $NH_4-N$ were decreased at 53.9% and increased at 20.2% with 10 g/L compared to 0.4 g/L, respectively. The sorption of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull was fitted well by a Langmuir model. The largest adsorption amount of $NH_4-N$ ($q_m$) and binding strength constant (b) were calculated as 0.4980 mg/g, and 0.0249 L/mg, respectively. It was observed that dimensionless constant ($R_L$) was 0.58. CONCLUSION: It was indicated that biochar produced from rice hull is favorably absorbed $NH_4-N$, because this value lie within 0< $R_L$ <1.

Sucrose, glucose, starches hydrolyzates and raw starchy materials hydrolyzates were caramelized using various catalysis and the caramel products were analysed, in order to carry out the basic research for the replacement of caramel coloring. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The caramel which was manufactured by sucrose syrup being pH 3.5 adjusted by sulfuric acid showed strong color intensity and hue as well as good stability in the solutions of table salt, tannin and alcohol. 2. The product caramelized from sucrose syrup being pH 9.5 adjusted by sodium carbonate showed very strong color intensity and black color component, and was quite stable in alcohol solution but not in table salt and tannin solutions. 3. The caramel products made from sucrose syrup using ammonium salts of strong acid like $NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as catalyst showed strong color intensity and black color component but hazy apparence in solution of table salt, tannin and alcohol. 4. The product caramelized from glucose syrup being pH 9.5 adjusted by sodium carbonate indicated strong color intensity but weak red color component and was transparent in solution of table salt and alcohol but hazy in tannin solution. 5. In glucose caramel using $NH_4Cl$, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_3$ as catalyst, $NH_4Cl$ plot was very weak in color intensity and insufficient in red color component but stable in solution of table salt, tannin and alcohol. In the case of $(NH_4)_2CO_3$, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_3$ plots, all products were strong in color intensity but little insufficient in red color component. On the stability in solutions, $(NH_4)_2SO_3$ plot was stable in two solutions expect tannin solution, $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ plot was only stable in alcohol solution and $(NH_4)_2SO_3$ plot was only stable in table salt solution. 6. When the acid hydrolyzed starch syrups without neutralization were caramelized using $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as catalyst, the potato starch hydrolyzate caramel showed higher in color intensity being similar to its of glucose caramel than sweet potato starch hydrolyzate caramel and corn starch hydrolyzate caramel. 7. Dried sweet potato powder, dried acorns powders, the acorns (from Q. serrata THUNB and Q. acutissima CARR.) powders extracted with water for 7 days and with 50% alcohol solution for 24 hrs were hydrolyzed by sulfuric acid in autoclave at $3.5kg/cm^2$ as pressure for 60 mins, and were caramelized using $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as catalyst. It was supposed that all of those products were poor quality on color and stability in solutions at the viewpoint of food coloring matter.

BACKGROUND: Although 1 M $NH_4OAc$ (pH 7.0) is predominantly used as the extractant of exchangeable cations in agricultural soils, this method is unsuitable for extracting the cations in saline and calcareous soils. This study was performed to select a proper method to determine exchangeable cations in vinyl greenhouse soils. METHODS AND RESULTS: Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K, Na) in saline vinyl greenhouse soils were determined after extraction with 1 M $NH_4OAc$ (pH 7.0 and 8.5) and 1 M alcoholic $NH_4Cl$ (pH 8.5). Sum of exchangeable cations of the soils extracted with 1 M $NH_4OAc$ at pH 7.0 was 1.9-2.5 times greater than soil cation exchange capaity determined at pH 7.0, even though soluble salts were pre-removed. A similar result was found when the cations were extracted with 1 M $NH_4OAc$ at pH 8.5. Those results are mostly due to the overestimation of exchangeable Ca and Mg, linked to a partial dissolution of sparingly soluble salts in $NH_4OAc$ solution. When extracted with 1 M alcoholic $NH_4Cl$ at pH 8.5, extractable Ca and Mg decreased significantly due to the lower solubility of Ca and Mg carbonates in the extractant. And the sum of exchangeable cations was very close to the corresponding exchange capacity of soils. CONCLUSION: Alcoholic $NH_4Cl$ (pH 8.5) is proposed as a reliable extractant in determination of exchangeable cations in saline vinyl greenhouse soils. And soluble salts should be removed prior to the extraction of exchangeable cations.

To establish an in vitro mass production system of grape anthocyanin pigments through callus and cell suspension culture, the effects of nitrogen source and sucrose on fresh weight and anthocyanin production in cell suspension culture of 'Sheridan' grape level were studied. When the medium was devoid of $NO_3^-$, cell fresh weight was either remained stable (1% sucrose) or slightly decreased with culture time (2,3, and 4% sucrose). When $NH_4^-$ was lacking, 3% sucrose was most favorable for cell growth. When $NH_4^-$ was supplied as N source, the anthocyanin content of 2% sucrose containing medium was maintained 2 times higher than other levels till day 8 in culture, then that of 3 and 4% sucrose which peaked at day 12 thereafter. The anthocyanin content was low than $NO_3^-$-free media. Total anthocyanin content in $NH_4^-$-free medium was just about a half of that of $NH_4^+$ medium. Anthocyanin production of 2% sucrose in $NH_4^+$ medium was maintained about 3-fold till day 8, then decreased thereafter. In $NH_4^+$ medium, pH decreased gradually with final pH of 3.5 to 4.0, while pH in $NH_4^+$-free medium increased with final pH of 6.5 to 7.5.

A fluid model of 2D axis-symmetry based on inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactor using $N_2/NH_3/SiH_4$ gas mixture has been developed for hydrogenated silicon nitride ($SiN_x:H$) deposition. The model was comprised of 62 species (electron, neutral, ions, and excitation species), 218 chemical reactions, and 45 surface reactions. The pressure (10~40 mTorr) and gas mixture ratio ($N_2$ 80~96 %, $NH_3$ 2~10 %, $SiH_4$ 2~10 %) were considered simulation variables and the input power fixed at 1000 W. Different distributions of electron, ions, and molecules density were observed with pressure. Although ionization rate of $SiH_2{^+}$ is higher than $SiH_3{^+}$ by electron direct reaction with $SiH_4$, the number density of $SiH_3{^+}$ is higher than $SiH_2{^+}$ in over 30 mTorr. Also, number density of $NH^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$ dramatically increased by pressure increase because these species are dominantly generated by gas phase reactions. The change of gas mixture ratio not affected electron density and temperature. With $NH_3$ and $SiH_4$ gases ratio increased, $SiH_x$ and $NH_x$ (except $NH^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$) ions and molecules are linearly increased. Number density of amino-silane molecules ($SiH_x(NH_2)_y$) were detected higher in conditions of high $SiH_x$ and $NH_x$ molecules density.

We have manufactured CdS and Cd(Cu)S thin films by chemical bath deposition(CBD) process, and examined the effects of $NH_4Cl$ and TEA. The addition of $NH_4Cl$ remarkably enhanced the film thickness of CdS, however, TEA slightly decreased the film thickness. The thickness of CdS film prepared from the aqueous solution of 0.003 M $CdSO_4$ 0.00008 M $CuSO_4$, 1.3M NH3, 0.03 M $SC(NH_2)_2$ and 0.0009 M $NH_4Cl$ was 210 nm and resistivity of that was $1.2{\times}10^3{\Omega}cm$.
