We investigated chemical-wounding effect on Agrobacterium-mediated Chinese cabbage transformation via vacuum infiltration. Pre-germinated or germinating Chinese cabbage seeds were infiltrated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 cells carrying either GUS gene (pBI121) or hepatitis B virus surface antigen DNA (pBIHBsAg). Prior to agroinfiltration process, the seeds were soaked in sodium hydrosulfite (SHS) solution or just in sterile water as a control. Comparative transformation efficiency was determined by both of histochemistry and ELISA. We could demonstrate that SHS solution treatment especially to 1-day or 2-days old germinating seeds efficiently improved transformation process, and therefore, transient expression level. This strongly indicated that Agrobacterium infection could be facilitated indeed by SHS-causing wounds on Chinese cabbage seeds.

Up to this date, numerous methods of analysis of electropling solutions are published. Some, however, need lots of works before reaching final results, or require high technique and special instruments, and also some are unaccurate due to unclearnes of end point. Like our undevelop countries, technicians of electroplating shops are most high school graduates or under, and have not much knowledge on chemistry. Furthermore, those technicians have to control their plating solutions by themselves without having enough analytical laboratory equipment . Therefore, in this paper the simplest, besides accurate method is investigated after comparing numerous methods published. Among the methods of copper determinations from acid and alkaline copper plating baths, EDTA titration method are chosen, due to these methods are the simpest and fastest for the evaluation of metal content, without requirng any special instrument. For acid copper solutions, chelate titrations were accurate enough. Since the end point of titration of chelate method is variable according to the kind of indicators and other metal's coexisitence as well as solution component, many difficulties were encountered from cyanide copper, on the contrary of acid copper bath. PAN , PV, and MX indicators were tried , but it is found that MX is the best. In chyanide solution ,due to cyanide is the masking reagent , elimination of this component is essential , and finally found that elimination CN-by precipitation with AgNO$_3$ solution was the simplest and the most accurate way among others. This method was very accurate for the new plating solutions even coexistence with organic brightners. However used solutions for long months running have to be predetermined the accurate copper value by thiosulfate method form time to time, before chelate titration by means of AgNO$_3$ precipitation. Always some constant deviations will be seen according to the solutions nature. Therefore those deviation values have to be compensated each time.

For preparing a device-quality $CuInSe_2$ (CISe) light-absorbing layer by single-bath electrodeposition for a superstrate-type CISe cell, morphological properties of the CISe layers were investigated by varying concentrations of sulfamic acid and potassium biphthalate, complexing/buffering agents. CISe films were grown on an $In_2Se_3$ film by applying a constant voltage of -0.5V versus Ag/AgCl for 90 min in a solution with precursors of $CuCl_2$, $InCl_3$, and $SeO_2$, and a KCl electrolyte. A dense and smooth layer of CISe could be obtained with a solution containing both sulfamic acid and potassium biphthalate in a narrow concentration range of combination. A CISe layer prepared on the $In_2Se_3$ film with proper concentrations of complexing/buffering agents exhibited thickness of $1.6{\sim}1.8{\mu}m$ with few undesirable secondary phases. On the other hand, when the bath solution did not contain either sulfamic acid or potassium biphthalate, a CISe film appeared to contain undesirable flake-shape $Cu_{2-x}Se$ phases or sparse pores in the upper part of film.

S. marcescens LSY4가 충전된 BOD센서를 제작하여 표준오염물질을 포함한 수용액의 BOD를 측정하였다. 배양시간이 9∼16시간일 때에는 배양시간에 따른 BOD센서의 감응도에 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, 균체량도 0.22~0.75mg $cm^{-2}$의 범위에서는 거의 동일한 센서의 감응도를 나타내었다. 수용액의 pH가 4~9사이로 변화할 경우 센서의 감응도가 가역적으로 변화하였으나 수용액이 더 산성이거나 더 염기성이 되면 센서의 감응도가 비가역적으로 저하되었다. 수용액에 중금속이온이 첨가되면 센서의 감응도가 감소하였으며, $Zn^{2+}$나 $Cd^{2+}$보다 $Cu^{2+}$혹은 $Ag^+$가 첨가되었을 때 센서의 감응도가 더 급격히 감소하였다. 중금속에 대한 내성이 유도된 균체를 충전하였을 때 중금속이온의 첨가에 따른 센서의 감응도 감소가 크게 완화되었으며, 이런 효과는 $Cd^{2+}$내성주보다 $Cu^{2+}$내성주에서 더 현저하였다.

It is known that bones get damaged by accidents and aging. Since the discovery of Bioglass, various kinds of ceramics have been also found to bond to living bone; some of these ceramics are already being clinically used as bone-repairing materials. In the present study, antibacterial calcium silicate gel ($Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel) was prepared by sol-gel method in order to control the microstructure, which is related to the dissolution rate and induction period of apatite formation in body environment. In addition, biological $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ is tested. This was done to impart antimicrobial activity to the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$. Ag ion was added during sol-gel synthesis to replace the $H_2O$ added during the making of the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel, which has silver solutions of various concentration. After the sol-gel process, 1N-$HNO_3$ solution was used to wash the gel when synthesizing the gel, in order to maintain the porous structure and remove PEG, water soluble polymers. Then, the apatite forming ability of the sol-gel derived CaO-$SiO_2$ gels was investigated using simulated body fluid (SBF), which had almost the same ion concentration as that of human blood plasma. The gels were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM observation, XRD, and fluorescent microscopy. The apatite was successfully created even after washing the gel; apatite is present in an amorphous state, and was found to affect the concentration of the Ag ion in cells in MC3T3 live & dead assay results. From these results, it is suggested that a good material that can be used to repair defects of nature bone is $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel.

본 연구에서는 비이온 계면활성제, 보조계면활성제 등의 첨가제가 AOT 계면활성제 시스템의 water-in-oil(W/O) 마이크로에멀젼을 이용한 AgCl 나노입자 제조에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보았다. AOT 계면활성제, isooctane, 무기염 수용액으로 이루어진 삼성분 시스템에 NP 계열 비이온 계면활성제를 첨가한 결과, 단일상으로 존재하는 W/O 마이크로에멀젼 영역은 증가하였으며, 일반적으로 첨가한 비이온 계면활성제의 친수성이 증가할수록 단일상의 영역은 증가하였다. 또한 첨가한 비이온 계면활성제는 마이셀의 계면을 보다 유연하게 함으로써 생성된 입자의 크기는 증가하고 분포도는 넓어졌다. 한편 보조계면활성제로 알코올을 첨가하면서 상평형 실험을 수행한 결과, 알코올의 사슬 길이가 증가하거나 첨가량이 증가할수록 단일상으로 존재하는 W/O 마이크로에멀젼이 보다 좁은 영역에서 형성되었다. 상평형 실험결과에 의하여 결정된 단일상의 W/O 마이크로에멀젼 영역 내에 해당하는 조건에서 보조계면활성제의 사슬 길이와 첨가량을 변화시키면서 AgCl 나노입자 제조실험을 수행한 결과, 생성된 AgCl 입자의 특성은 보조계면활성제 첨가에 따른 마이크로에멀젼의 radius of spontaneous curvature와 필름 rigidity의 변화에 의하여 결정됨을 알 수 있었다.

천연가스로부터 유기 황 화합물인 THT와 TBM의 흡착 제거를 위해 NaY 제올라이트계를 이용하여 흡착실험을 수행하였다. NaY에 대한 표면의 산-염기적 특성을 변화시키고 흡착능의 향상을 도모하기 위하여 Li, K, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag 등의 금속이온으로 이온교환하였으며, 이를 부취제 THT와 TBM의 흡착 제거에 적용하였다. 그 결과 Cu-NaY, Ag-NaY, NaY에서 다른 물질들에 비해 THT, TBM의 파과흡착량이 높게 나타났으며, Cu, Ag가 이온교환된 제올라이트의 증가된 산성적 특성 때문에 다른 이온들에 비해 높은 파과흡착량을 나타낸 것으로 사료되어진다. 산량이 Ag-NaY보다 높게 측정된 Cu-NaY의 경우, Cu의 담지량을 조절하였다. 이들 가운데 0.5 M의 질산구리 용액으로 이온교환된 Cu-NaY-0.5가 가장 높은 파과흡착량을 보였으며, THT에 대해 1.85 mmol-S/g, TBM에 대해 0.78 mmol-S/g을 각각 나타내었다. 그리고 THT의 탈착 활성화에너지는 NaY, Cu-NaY-0.5 두 물질에 대하여 큰 차이가 없었으며, TBM의 탈착 활성화에너지의 경우 Cu-NaY-0.5 흡착제에서 NaY보다 높게 측정되었다.

나노 구조를 갖는 다공질 규소의 표면과 투명하고 전도성을 갖는 접촉방법을 얻기 위해 다공질 규소 표면에 CdTe 화합물 박막을 전착시키는 방법을 시도하였다. CdTe 화합물 박막은 1 M의 $CdSO_4$와 1mM의 $TeO_4$가 혼합된 전해액 속에서 전착 전위 2-2.3V(vs. Ag/AgCl)로 다공질규소의 표면에 전착시켰다. X선 회절 측정결과 다공질규소 표면에 CdTe 화합물 박막이 생성되었음이 확인되었고, AES 분석결과 표면에서 약 80nm 깊이까지 Cd 및 Te 원소가 균일하게 존재하였다. 그리고 CdTe 화합물 박막이 전착된 다공질규소의 PL 특성은 발광의 세기는 약간 검소하였고 최대파장값은 고에너지 쪽으로 이동하였다. 이 결과로 보아 CdTe 전착 박막이 나노 구조를 갖는 다공질규소와 투명하고 전도성을 갖는 접촉물질로 이용될 수 있음이 밝혀졌다.

The silver nanoparticles/polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (Ag/PANI/RGO/GCE) was prepared by the electrochemical method. The Ag/PANI/RGO nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ESI). Two electrochemical techniques namely differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to the electrochemical behaviors investigation of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The Ag/PANI/RGO/GCE exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation reaction of AA, DA, and UA in Britton-Robinson (BR) solution (pH=4.0). Under the optimal conditions, the determinations of AA, DA, and UA were accomplished using DPV. AA-DA and DA-UA peak potential separations were 130 and 180 mV, respectively. For simultaneous detection, the linear response ranges were in the two concentration ranges of 0.05-0.8 mM and 2.0-16.0 mM with detection limit 0.412 μM (S/N = 3) for AA, 0.7-90.0 μM and 90.0-1000.0 μM with detection limit 0.023 μM (S/N = 3) for DA, and 0.8-70.0 μM and 70.0-1000.0 μM with detection limit 0.050 μM (S/N = 3) for UA. This modified electrode showed good sensitivity, selectivity, and stability with applied to determine AA, DA, and UA in human urine and drug.
