The kinetics and equilibrium of metal extraction by benzamidoxime and phenylacetamidoxime-chloroform were investigated to apply amidoxime to metal extraction as chelating agent. The overall extraction constant extraction mechanism and selective extraction of copper were examined from the relation among extraction ratio, hydrogen ion concentration and extractant concentration. The experimental rate equation of copper extraction coincided with the theoretical rate equation and was expressed as $R_o=k{\overline{C}}_{HRo}(C_{Mo}/C_{Ho})^{1/2}$. The chemical species extracted was found to the type of ${\overline{CuR_2}}$.

The R$Rh_2(ap)_4$(2,2-trans) isomer (ap = 2-anilinopyridinate), which has two anilino nitrogens and two pyridyl nitrogens bound to each rhodium ion trans to their own kind, shows activation towards the one electron reduction of dioxygen at -0.40 V vs SCE. The ESR spectrum taken at 123 K proves the formation of a $[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]$ ion with oxygen axially bound to one rhodium ion and the complex is at a RhⅡ2 oxidation state. The complex will form [$Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)(CH_3CN)]^-$ in presence of $CH_3CN/CH_2Cl_2$ mixture without breaking the Rh-$O_2^-$ bond. When oxidized at -0.25 and 0.55 V, $[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]$ will undergo two one electron oxidations to form $Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]^+$. Both species have an axially bound superoxide ion but the former is at $Rh^{II}Rh^{III }$and the later at $Rh^{III}_2$ oxidation states. The ESR spetra and $CH_3CN$ addition study, on the other hand, show that the later complex is better described as $[Rh_{II}Rh^{III}(ap)_4(O_2)]^+$ with the odd electron localized on rhodium ion and the complex has an axially coordinated molecular oxygen. The electrochemical and ESR studies also show that the degree of dioxygen activation is a function of electrochemical redox potential.

The formation of hydrophilic surface based on polymers has received great attention due to the anti-adhesion of bacteria on solid substrates. Anti-adhesion coatings are aimed at suppressing the initial step of biofilm formation via non-cytotoxic mechanisms, and surfaces applied hydrophilic or ionic polymers showed the anti-adhesion effect for bioentities, such as proteins and bacteria. This is attributed to the formation of surface barrier from hydration layers, repulsions and osmotic stresses from polymer brushes, and electrostatic interactions between ionic polymers and cell surfaces. The antifouling polymer coating is usually fabricated by the grafting method through the bonding with functional groups on surfaces and the deposition method utilizing biomimetic anchors. This mini-review is a summary of representative antifouling polymers, coating strategies, and antibacterial efficacy. Furthermore, we will discuss consideration on the large area surface coating for application to public facilities and industry.

Electrochemical characteristics and kinetic parameters of copper ion reduction were investigated with a platinum rotating disk electrode (RDE) in a diffusion controlled region. Reduction of Cu(II) in sulfate had one-step two-xelectron process, while the reduction of Cu(II) in chloride solution was involved two one-electron processes. The transfer coefficient of Cu(II) in sulfate solution was lowest, and the transfer coefficient of Cu(I) in halide solutions had the value of nearly one. In chloride solutions, electrodeposition rate of Cu(II) was about one hundred times faster than Cu(I). Diffusion coefficient increased in the order of Cu(II) in chloride solution, Cu(I) in the iodide, bromide, chloride solution, Cu(II) in sulfate solution. The calculated ionic radii and activation energy for diffusion decreased in the same order as above. Morphological study on the copper electrodeposition indicated that the electrode surface became rougher as both concentration and reduction potential increases, and the roughness of the surface was analyzed with UV/VIS spectrophotometer.

The mechanism for electrochemical oxidation of natural alkaloid, ${\iota}$-sparteine (SP) was studied in acetonitrile solvent. The cyclic voltammogram of SP shows two irreversible anodic peaks at +0.75 V and +1.45 V vs. Ag/AgCl (0.1M AgNO$_2$ in acetonitrile) electrode. Coulometry reveals that the number of electrons involved in each oxidation peaks is in the range of 1.2∼1.3 respectively. Neutral imine radical was produced by fast deprotonation of SP radical cation formed by oxidation of one nitrogen atom in SP. Two pathways are possible for the reaction of the neutral radical: Due to the disproportionation of the radical, SP and enamine were mainly produced. Also, the 1,2-dehydrosparteinium cation was formed as minor product through the second one electron transfer oxidation of this radical. The (+)-lupanine was produced by treatment of sparteinium cation with potassium hydroxide. We have isolated and confirmed the electrolysis products using IR, GC-MS, UV-Vis, and thin-layer spectroelectrochemical method.

Cerium oxide ($CeO_2$, often called as Ceria) is one of the valuable rare earth oxide materials, which has been widely used for high temperature applications such as solid oxide fuel cells, automotive three-way catalysts and oxygen storage capacity. Considering those application, it is important to improve high redox and thermal stability with high surface morphology because the high surface area of $CeO_2$ could improve the catalytic reactivity at high temperature conditions. Herein we successfully fabricated hierarchical flower-like $CeO_2$ deposited via controlling pathway of precipitation reaction to supply carbonate ion lead to the flower-like morphology. The hexagonal lattice system of precipitated precursor shows better thermal stability then orthorhombic one during thermal cycling condition.

In this study, we investigated high school students' analogy generating processes using the think-aloud method. Twelve high school students in Seoul participated in this study. The students were asked to generate analogies on ionic bonding and were also interviewed after their activities. Their activities and interviews were recorded and videotaped. After classifying the analogy generating processes into the three stages-encoding, exploring sources, and mapping, several process components were identified. The analyses of the results indicated that they checked the target concept given and selected one for a salient attribute among many attributes of the target concept at the stage of encoding. After selecting the salient attribute, they translated the salient attribute that is a scientific term into an everyday term, which is named as 'extracting salient similarities.' At the stage of exploring sources, they chose the sources based on salient similarities and chose the final source through circular processes, which included the process components of 'evaluating the sources' and 'discarding the sources.' At the final stage, they added the attributes to analogs and mapping them to the attributes of the target concept, which is named as 'mapping shared attributes.' There were some cases that 'mapping shared attributes' appeared after they specified the situation of analogs or assumed new situation, which is named as 'specifying the situations.' Some students recognized unshared attributes in their analogs.

모든 생물은 늙어가면서 그 생물체를 이루고 있는 생체조직들이 낡게 되고 약해지기 마련이며, 이외에도 자동차 사고 등 재해에 의해 생체 장기의 손상을 가져올 수도 있다. 또한 인간의 평균수명 연장과 함께 소득 수준이 높아지고 또한 'quality of life'를 추구하는 고령화 시대로 접어듦에 따라, 인공골, 인공치아 또는 인공 고/슬관절 등의 골조직 대체재료의 수요가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 골조직 대체, 즉 골이식은 크게 자기골 이식(autografting), 동종이식(allografing), 인공재료(man-made materials)의 이식으로 구분된다. 현재 대체물질의 약 58%를 차지하고 있는 자기골 이식의 경우, 거부면역 반응이 없어 임상성공율이 80%에 달한다는 장점을 가지고 있으나, 비용이 비싸고 감염과 통증의 위험이 있다. 또한 시신으로부터 골을 이식하는 동종이식의 경우 대체물질의 약 34%를 차지하고 있는데, 성공률이 떨어지고 질병 감염의 위험이 있는 단점이 있다. 이외에 약 8%를 차지하고 있는 인공재료 이식의 경우, 파단, 독성반응, 마모, 골조직의 remodeling 등이 일어나는 단점이 있으나, 앞에서 언급한 바와 같이 그 필요성이 급격히 증가함에 따라 보다 나은 치료법과 골이식 대체물질의 개발에 많은 노력이 경주되고 있다. 2003년 6월 미국 Financial Times에 의하면, 인체내 식립형 생체재료의 세계시장 규모는 약 650억 달러에 이르며, 매년 200% 이상씩 신장하고 있다고 한다. 따라서 세계 각국의 의학, 약학, 임상학, 생명과학, 공학 등의 관련 연구 분야에서는 이 수요를 충족시키기 위한 활발한 연구활동을 펼치고 있다. 한편 인체내 식립용 임플란트의 국내 시장규모는 치과 임플란트의 경우 2006년 현재 2000억원 규모로, 정형외과, 악안면 성형외과, 이비인후과를 포함하면 소위 'bone-anchored metal implant' 영역의 시장 규모는 4~5조원에 이를 것으로 추산 되고 있다. 또한 소비 신장률 10~15%를 감안하면 향후 시장 규모는 폭발적으로 증가될 것으로 예상된다. 이에 발맞추어, 최근 들어 선진국은 물론, 국내에서도 인체내 식립을 목적으로 하는 생체재료에 관한 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 일부는 실용화 단계에 진입하고 있다. 본 강연에서는 금속 임플란트의 시장현황과 앞으로의 추세에 대하여 조망하고, Ti 임플란트를 중심으로 이의 생체활성을 부여하는 표면개질 필요성 및 최근의 연구개발 동행에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

An agar-liquefying bacteria (SC-22), which produces a diffusible agarase that caused agar softening around the colony was isolated from Daecheong lake in Korea. Chemotaxanomic and phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed the strain was classified as Cellvibrio mixtus SC-22. The isolate SC-22 showed maximal extracellular agarase activity with 58.5 U/mL after 48 h cultivation in the presence of 0.2% agar. It was observed that the isolate produced two kinds of extracellular and three kinds of intracellular isoenzymes. The major agarase was purified from the culture filtrate of agarolytic bacteria by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange and gel filtration column chromatographic methods. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 25 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme were pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The agarase activity was activated by $Fe^{2+}$, $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ ions while it was inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ at 1 mM concentration. The predominant hydrolysis product of agarose by the enzyme was galactose and disaccharide on TLC, indicating the cleavage of $\beta$-1,4 linkage in a random manner. The enzyme showed high substrate specificity for only agar and agarose among various polysaccharides.
