To improve the strength of glass is being studied in order to contribute to weight saving of flat panel displays. Generally, the strength achieved of glass-ceramics is higher as is the fracture toughness by the formation of a heterogeneous Phase inside glass. In this study, Ag-doped $45SiO_2-24CaO-24Na_2O-4P_2O_5$ glasses were irradiated to strengthen by crystallization using femto-second laser pulse. UV/VIS, Spectroscope, XRD, nano-indenter and SEM etc. irradiation of laser pulse without heat-treated samples was analyzed. Samples irradiated by laser had higher value$(4.4\~4.56{\ast}10-3Pa)$ of elastic modulus which related with strength of glass than values heat-treated samples and these are $1.2\~1.5$ times higher values than them of mother glass. This process can be applicable to the strengthening of thinner glass plate, and it has an advantage over traditional heat-treatment and ion-exchange method.

In this study, the adsorption of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Cd^{2+}$ from aqueous solution on the biochar derived from used coffee grounds at different pyrolysis temperatures has been investigated as a potential low-cost treatment method for heavy metal-containing waters. Three biochar samples prepared by heating coffee sludge at temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ (B300), $500^{\circ}C$ (B500), and $700^{\circ}C$ (B700) were tested for the adsorption capacity and kinetics of Cd and Cu. Also the influencing factor of heavy metal removal by ion exchange in terms of cation exchange capacity (CEC) of each biochar was measured. Adsorption of Ca and Cu by biochar produced at higher pyrolysis temperature showed higher adsorption capacity but the optimal pyrolysis temperature based on performance and economy was known as $500^{\circ}C$. Sorption of Cu and Cd by biochar followed a Langmuir model at pH 6~6.5, attributing mainly to surface sorption. The biochar was more effective in Cu and Cd sorption than activated carbon (AC), with BC 500 being the most effective, which indicates that sorption of Cd and Cu by coffee sludge biochar is partly influenced by chemical sorption on surface functional group as well as physical sorption.

A new acid deoxyribonuclease (DNase) was purified from the cultured mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis, and designated CSDNase. CSDNase was purified by $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ precipitation, Sephacryl S-100 HR gel filtration, weak anion-exchange HPLC, and gel filtration HPLC. The protein was single-chained, with an apparent molecular mass of ca. 34 kDa, as revealed by SDS-PAGE, and an isoelectric point of 7.05, as estimated by isoelectric focusing. CSDNase acted on both double-stranded (ds) and single- stranded (ss) DNA, but preferentially on dsDNA. The optimum pH of CSDNase was pH 5.5 and its optimum temperature 55. The activity of CSDNase was not dependent on divalent cations, but its enzymic activity was inhibited by high concentration of the cation: $MgCl_2$ above 150 mM, $MnCl_2$ above 200 mM, $ZnCl_2$ above 150 mM, $CaCl_2$ above 200 mM, NaCl above 300 mM, and KCl above 300 mM. CSDNase was found to hydrolyze DNA, and to generate 3-phosphate and 5-OH termini. These results indicate that the nucleolytic properties of CSDNase are essentially the same as those of other well-characterized acid DNases, and that CSDNase is a member of the acid DNase family. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an acid DNase in a fungus.

The methods of determining bioactive compounds were determined by high performance liquid chromatography, that contained (-)-gallocatechin (0.04±0.01 ~ 0.43±0.28%), salidroside (0.90±0.06 ~ 3.86±0.59%), tyrosol (0.03±0.00 ~ 0.43±0.00%), (-)-catechin (0.05±0.01 ~ 0.37±0.14%), 6'-O-galloylsalidroside (0.02± 0.01 ~ 0.31±0.06%), (-)-epicatechin-gallate (0.01±0.00 ~ 0.04±0.01%). The soil chemical properties analysis such as soil pH, electric conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphate (Avail. P₂O₅), exchangeable cation and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were performed following the standard manual. The correlation analysis between soil chemical properties and bioactive compounds of A. tegmentosum, soil pH, available phosphate and exchangeable cation (Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺) were negatively correlated with content of salidroside. On the other hand, soil exchangeable cation (Na⁺) showed positive correlation with content of salidroside. The results of this study was able to investigate the correlation between soil chemical properties and bioactive compounds of A. tegmentosum.

Thermostable protease is very effective to improve the industrial processes in many fields. Two thermostable extracellular proteases from the culture supernatant of the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum were purified to homogeneity by tractional ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, and Phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography. By SDS-PAGE, the molecular mass of the two purified enzymes was estimated to be 33 kDa and 63 kDa, respectively. The two proteases were found to be inhibited by PMSF, but not by iodoacetamide and EDTA. The 33 kDa protease (PRO33) exhibited maximal activity at pH 10.0 and the 63kDa protease (PRO63) at pH5.0. The optimum temperature for the two proteases was $65^{\circ}C$. The PRO33 had a $K_m$ value of 6.6mM and a $V_{max}$ value of $10.31{\mu}mol/l/min$, and PRO63 l7.6mM and $9.08{\mu}mol/l/min$, with casein as substrate. They were thermostable at $60^{\circ}C$. The protease activity of PRO33 and PRO63 remained at 67.2% and 17.31%, respectively, after incubation at $70^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The thermal stability of the two enzymes was significantly enhanced by $Ca^{2+}$. The residual activity of PRO33 and PRO63 at $70^{\circ}C$ after 60min was approximately 88.59% and 39.2%, respectively, when kept in the buffer containing $Ca^{2+}$. These properties make them applicable for many biotechnological purposes.

This study investigated the mineralogical properties of bentonite and illite and evaluated the Cs sorption at various concentrations (C_w≈1-10⁵ ㎍/L). Bentonite samples, collected from South Korea and USA, majorly consisted of Ca- and Na-montmorillonite, showed large cation exchange capacity (CEC, 91.4 and 47.3 meq/100 g) and specific surface area (SSA, 46.1 and 39.7 m²/g). In contrast, illite sample (USA) had relatively low values for 14.4 meq/100g of CEC and 29.3 m²/g of SSA, respectively. Bentonite and illite had different non-linear sorption for Cs along with C_w. At low C_w<10 ㎍/L, illite showed higher sorption capacity than bentonite despite low CEC because of the existence of specific sorption sites at the weathered mineral edge. However, as C_w increased, bentonite represented high sorption capacity because the cation exchange between Cs and interlayer cations was effective at high C_w conditions. These results implicated that the Cs concentration is important to evaluate the sorption performance of bentonite and illite. Finally, the Cuadros' kinetic model for illitization using various K concentrations (2×10^-5 and 1.7×10^-3 mol/L) and temperature (100-200℃) showed that up to 50% of the montmorillonite in bentonite could be converted to illite, suggesting that the illitization should be considered to evaluate the sorption performance of the bentonite in deep geological disposal repository.

한천분해세균 SC-22균을 대전 대청댐부근의 담수에서 분리하였다. 생화학적 분석 및 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석을 통한 계통학적 분류를 통해 SC-22는 Cellvibrio mixtus로 동정되었다. 분리균의 생육 및 agarase 효소 생성능을 검토한 결과, SC-22는 탄소원으로 0.2% agar를 첨가한 배지에서 배양 36시간에 최대 생육을, 배양 48시간에 58.5 units/mL의 최대 효소활성을 나타내었다. 분리균은 세포외 및 세포내 agarase를 생성하였으며, zymogram 실험에 의해 P1, P2 및 P3의 isoenzyme을 분비하는 것으로 확인 되었다. 배양여액으로부터 겔여과법과 이온교환수지법을 단계적으로 이용하여 SC-22 균주로부터 SDS-PAGE에 의해 25 kDa의 효소를 정제하였으며, 정제효소는 zymogram에서 확인된 주 단백질인 P2(29 kDa)과 동일한 단백질임이 확인되었다. 또한 정제한 agarase의 효소학적 성질을 검토한 결과, 효소의 최적 pH와 최적온도는 pH 7.0과 $50^{\circ}C$이었으며, 금속이온 효과의 경우 1 mM 농도의 수준에서도 $Fe^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ 이온 등은 정제효소의 활성을 10-20% 증가시킨 반면 $Hg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ 및 $Cu^{2+}$ 이온들은 효소 활성을 크게 저해하였다. 또한 TLC 분석을 통해 정제효소는 한천 분해 올리고당으로 주로 단당류와 이당류를 생성하므로 $\beta$-agarase의 작용특성을 보였다. 기질특이성 실험에서는 정제효소는 agar와 agarose만을 이용 하였고 유사 해조 다당류인 alginate는 물론 다른 다당류를 분해하지 못하였다.
