Physical and magnetic behaviors of reduced Co-Zn-Ti-Sn substituted Ba-ferrite particles with hydrogen are different from those of reduced-pure Ba-ferrite particles. The coercivity of substituted Ba-feffite particles shows a peaking effect with the reduction temperature ranging from 250 to 520 $^{\circ}C$, while the coercivity of pure Ba-ferrite decreases monotonically. The reduction process of substituted Ba-ferrite has been found to be devided into three steps. At the first and second steps, the magneto-plumbite structure maintained. When the reduced-substituted Ba-ferrite particles are reoxidized, the coercivity is reversible at the first step but irreversible at the second step. During the third step of reduction process above 410 $^{\circ}C$. The magneto plumbite structure was collapsed with formation of $\alpha$-Fe and $BaFeO_{3-x}$ phases and consequently the coercivity distribution is broaden and the coercivity irreversible. The coercivity and saturation magnetization decreases and increases up to 130 emu/g respectively. In this study, it is found that the substituted elements prevent the magneto-plumbite structure from collapse during the reduction process and furthermore migrate from the magnetic sites of $2a+4f_{IV}$, 2b, and 12k to $4f_{VI}$ and 12k'. An increase in the coercivity before the collapse of magneto-plumbite structure is attributed to the migration of cations in hexagonal Ba-ferrite structure.

Potential mutagenicity of ten heated edible mountain herbs were examined with spore recassay, Ames test and DNA breaking test. Samples of edible mountain herbs were prepared with water extraction at $100^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. With the rec-assay, no significant mutagengic activity could be obtained from all of the samples, but among the eight of metal ions added to sample solution, $Pb^{2+}$ to R. crispus heated juice, $Zn^{2+}$ to L. fischeri and S. bracycarpa heated juice increased mutagenic activity of the samples. With the Ames test and DNA breaking test, all of the samples did not show mutagenicity. However, breaking action was activated on heated L. fischeri, P. japonicus. A. triphylla and A. tataricus juices in the presence of 25mM $Cu^{2+}$. But heated A. elata, H. aurantiaca, A. triphylla, S. bracycarpa and A. scaber juices were inactivated in the presence of 25mM $Fe^{2+}$. Desmutagenic activities against benzo$({\alpha})$pyrene significantly increased as increasing concentration of the heated edible mountain herb juices.

ZnO with wurtzite structure has a wide band gap of 3.37 eV. Because ZnO has a direct band gap and a large exciton binding energy, it has higher optical efficiency and thermal stability than the GaN material of blue light emitting devices. To fabricate ZnO devices with optical and thermal advantages, n-type and p-type doping are needed. Many research groups have devoted themselves to fabricating stable p-type ZnO. In this study, $As^+$ ion was implanted using an ion implanter to fabricate p-type ZnO. After the ion implant, rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was conducted to activate the arsenic dopants. First, the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films were investigated for as-grown, as-implanted, and annealed ZnO using FE-SEM, XRD, and PL, respectively. Then, the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the ZnO thin films, depending on the As ion dose variation and the RTA temperatures, were analyzed using the same methods. In our experiment, p-type ZnO thin films with a hole concentration of $1.263{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ were obtained when the dose of $5{\times}10^{14}$ As $ions/cm^2$ was implanted and the RTA was conducted at $850^{\circ}C$ for 1 min.

Physicochemical characteristics of stream water, leachate, mine water and groundwater were investigated to estimate the influences of the tailing and waste rock from the abandoned Uljin mine area. Total extraction analysis and mineralogical studies were carried out to understand sulfide weathering and to determine the distributions of trace elements in the soil affected by mine waste (tailing, waste rock and leachate). The pH and EC value of the leachate from the tailing disposal ranged 2.9-6.0, $99{\sim}3,990{\mu}S/cm$, respectively, and the concentrations of dissolved major (up to 492 mg/l Ca; 83.8 mg/l Mg; 45.2 mg/l Na; 44.7 mg/l K, 50.8 mg/l Si) and trace elements (up to $826,060{\mu}g/l$ Fe; $131,230{\mu}g/l$ Mn; $333,600{\mu}g/l$ Al; $61,340{\mu}g/l$ Zn; $2,530{\mu}g/l$ Cu; $573{\mu}g/l$ Cd; $476{\mu}g/l$ Pb) were relatively high. The stream water showed the variation of dissolved metal concentrations in seasonally and spatially. The dissolved metal contents of the stream water increased by influx the leachate from the tailing disposal, but these of the down stream have been considerably decreased by mixing of dilute tributaries. The dissolved metal concentrations of the stream water at dry season (as February) were lower than these at rainy season (as May and July). These represent that the amounts of the leachate varied with season. However, stream water could not be effectively diluted by confluence with uncontaminated tributaries, because the flux of tributaries and streams reduced at dry season. Thus attenuations by dilution had been dominantly happened in rainy seasons. The order of accumulations of trace element in soils compared with background values revealed Mn>Fe>Pb>Cu>Zn. Sulfide minerals were mainly pyrrhotite, sphalerite and galena and chalcopyrite. Pyrrhotite was rapidly weathered along the edge and fractures, and results in the formation of Fe-(oxy)hydroxides, which absorbed a little amount of Zn.

A bacterial strain producing intracellular phytase was isolated from cultivable soil near cowsheds and identified as a fluorescent Pseudomonas sp. BUN1. The BUN1 phytase, partially purified by cation and anion exchange chromatography, exhibited its optimal activity at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.5. As for substrate specificity, it was very specific for phytate and showed little activity on other phosphorylated conjugates. Its activity was greatly inhibited by metal ions such as $Cu^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$. Addition of corn starch to PSM (phytasesynthetic medium) [0.5% sodium phytate, 0.5% $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 0.5% KCl, 0.01% $MgSO_4\cdot7H_2O$, 0.01% $CaCl_2\cdot2H_2O$, 0.01% NaCl, 0.001% $FeSO_4\cdot7H_2O$, 0.001% $MnSO_4\cdot4H_2O$; pH 6.5] for the phytase production significantly induced its enzyme activity in comparison with other carbon sources tested.

The Samgwang Au-Ag deposit has been one of the largest deposits in Korea. The deposit consists of eight lens-shaped quartz veins which filled fractures along fault zones in Precambrian metasedimentary rock, which feature suggest that it is an orogenic-type deposit. The Ti-bearing minerals occur in wallrock (titanite, ilmenite and rutile) and laminated quartz vein (rutile). They occur minerals including biotite, muscovite, chlorite, white mica, monazite, zircon, apatite in wallrock and white mica, chlorite, arsenopyrite in laminated quartz vein. Chemical composition of titanite has maximum vaules of 3.94 wt.% (Al₂O₃), 0.49 wt.% (FeO), 0.52 wt.% (Nb₂O₅), 0.46 wt.% (Y₂O₃) and 0.43 wt.% (V₂O₅). Titanite with 0.06~0.14 (Fe/Al ratio) and 0.06~0.15 (X_Al (=Al/Al+Fe³⁺+Ti)) corresponds with metamorphic origin and low-Al variety. Chemical composition of ilmenite has maximum values of 0.07 wt.% (ZrO₂), 0.12 wt.% (HfO₂), 0.26 wt.% (Nb₂O₅), 0.04 wt.% (Sb₂O₅), 0.13 wt.% (Ta₂O₅), 2.62 wt.% (As₂O₅), 0.29 wt.% (V₂O₅), 0.12 wt.% (Al₂O₃) and 1.59 wt.% (ZnO). Chemical composition of rutile in wallrock and laminated quartz vein has maximum values of 0.35 wt.%, 0.65 wt.% (HfO₂), 2.52 wt.%, 0.19 wt.% (WO₃), 1.28 wt.%, 1.71 wt.% (Nb₂O₃), 0.03 wt.%, 0.07 wt.% (Sb₂O₃), 0.28 wt.%, 0.21 wt.% (As₂O₅), 0.68 wt.%, 0.70 wt.% (V₂O₃), 0.48 wt.%, 0.59 wt.% (Cr₂O₃), 0.70 wt.%, 1.90 wt.% (Al₂O₃) and 4.76 wt.%, 3.17 wt.% (FeO), respectively. Rutile in laminated quartz vein is higher contents (HfO₂, Nb₂O₃, As₂O₅, Cr₂O₃, Al₂O₃ and FeO) and lower content (WO₃) than rutile in wallrock. The substitutions of rutile in wallrock and laminated quatz vein are as followed : rutile in wallrock [(Fe³⁺, Al³⁺, Cr³⁺) + Hf⁴⁺ + (W⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) ⟵⟶ 2Ti⁴⁺ + V⁴⁺, 2Fe²⁺ + (Al³⁺, Cr³⁺) + Hf⁴⁺ + (W⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) ⟵⟶ 2Ti⁴⁺ + 2V⁴⁺], rutile in laminated quartz vein [(Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) + As⁵⁺ ⟵⟶ Ti⁴⁺ + V⁴⁺, (Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) + As⁵⁺ ⟵⟶ Ti⁴⁺ + Hf⁴⁺, 4(Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) ⟵⟶ Ti⁴⁺ + (W⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) + Cr³⁺], respectively. Based on these data, titanite, ilmenite and rutile in wallrock were formed by resolution and reconcentration of cations (W⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Hf⁴⁺, V⁴⁺, Cr³⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺, Fe²⁺) in minerals of wallrock during regional metamorphism. And then rutile in laminated quartz vein was formed by reconcentration of cations (Nb⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Hf⁴⁺, Cr³⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺, Fe²⁺) in alteration minerals (white mica, chlorite) and Ti-bearing minerals reaction between hydrothermal fluid originated during ductile shear and Ti-bearing minerals (titanite, ilmenite and rutile) in wallrock.

In order to characterize the effects of heavy metal ions on the microsomal ATPase activities, microsomes were prepared from the roots of tomato plant and the activity of microsomal ATPase was measured by an enzyme-coupled assay. $Hg^{2+}$ inhibited the activity of microsomal ATPase in a dose-dependent manner, while $Gd^{3+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $La^{3+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and $Pb^{2+}$ inhibited not only the ATPase activity but also the activities of enzymes used in the assay. However, $Cs^+$ and $Ba^{2+}$ showed no significant effect. $Hg^{2+}$ inhibited the activities of both plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane $H^+-ATPases$. In the dose-response to $Hg^{2+}$, the activities of both microsomal $H^+-ATPases$ were severely inhibited at the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ above $10\;{\mu}M$ and were completely inhibited at 1 mM $Hg^{2+}$. Apparent Ki values of $Hg^{2+}$ on the inhibitions of plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane $H^+-ATPases$ were $80\;{\mu}M$ and $58\;{\mu}M$, respectively. The $Hg^{2+}$-induced inhibitions were reversible since the addition of dithiothreitol completely reversed the inhibitory effects of $Hg^{2+}$. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of $Hg^{2+}$ on both plasma, membrane and vacuolar membrane $H^+-ATPases$ are nonselective and reversible.

산화환경에 노출된 폐광석에 포함되어 있는 황화광물은 산소와 물과의 화학반응을 통해 산화작용을 받게 되고, 이로 인하여 Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu 및 As등의 원소의 용해반응이 발생할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 이와 같이 용해된 금속이온은 pH등 환경의 변화에 따라 2차광물(산화광물 및 황산염광물)로 침전되거나 흡착되어 수용액으로부터 제거되어 자연적으로 고정화 될 수 있다. 이처럼 황화광물의 산화작용에 의해 형성된 2차광물에 대한 광물학적 연구는 광산복원을 결정하는데 직접적인 지구화학적 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 삼산제일광산에 방치된 폐광석을 대상으로 XRD, SEM/EDS을 이용하여 광물학적 연구를 수행한 결과 침전과 공침, 흡착 등의 화학반응을 통하여 현재 고정화되고 있는 것이 확인되었다.

The pretense from Halobacterium sp. was purified by ethanol precipitation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and G-100. The purified enzyme was found to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis It's specific activity was 364units/mg protein and yield was 14% of the total activity of the culture filtrate. The Km value against casein was determined to be $4.2{\times}10^{-4}M$ by Lineweaver-Burk plot The optimal temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were $35^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable from 5.0 to 11.0 at relatively wide range of pH but was inactivated at the temperature above $50^{\circ}C$. $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ appeared to react as activators whereas $Fe^{3+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Hg^{2+}\;and\;Cd^{2+}$ as inhibitors. The enzyme activity reduced with increasing the concentration of NaCl : the apparent activity with 2M NaCl was 65% as compared with that without the salt However the enzyme was unstable without salts : the activity was lost when dialyzed against distilled water for 2hr, whereas maintained against 0.1M solution of $CaCl_2$ for 6hr.

The optimum pH and temperature for endo-polygalacturonase activity from Jujube were 5.0 and $50^{\circ}C$. The range of its stability to pH was 4.0 to 5.0. The enzyme was inactivated about 35% by treatment at $70^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. It was found that $Ag^+$, $Zn^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ increased the enzyme activity. In contrast, $Ba^{++}$, $Hg^{++}$, $Pb^{++}$, $Ca^{++}$, $Mn^{++}$, $Cu^{++}$, $Fe^{+++}$, $Na^+$ and $K^+$ decreased it. The enzyme was inactivated by treatment with maleic anhydride, iodine and 2,4-dinitrophenol. The results indicate that active site is a imidazole group on the enzyme.
