$Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8$ and $Nd_{16}Fe_{76}B_8$ powders were prepared by mechanical alloying in Ar atmosphere, and their phases and magnetic properties were investigated with as a function of the annealing temperature. It was found that the mechanical alloyed $Nd_{16}Fe_{76}B_8$ powder for 450 hours was amorphous phase with a part of $\alpha$-Fe crystallites. The obtained powders at 700 $^{\circ}C$ for 30 minute resulted in two phase of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ and $NdB_6$ by the solid-state reaction. The mechanical alloyed $Nd_{16}Fe_{76}B_8$ powder for 450 hour and annealed at 700 $^{\circ}C$ for 30 minute was showed $_iH_c\;of\;9.91\;kOe,\; B_{max}\;of\;12.93\;kG,\;Br\;of\;7.6\;kG\;and\;(BH)_{max}\;10.1\;MGOe$.

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo(Ti6246) alloy was investigated in both the $\alpha$+$\beta$ and $\beta$-phase fields by conducting compression tests over a strain rate range of $10^{-3}s^{-1}$ to $10^0s^{-1}$. The flow stress was increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing test temperature. The flow curves obtained at temperatures below 90$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited a flow softening. However, in the $\beta$-phase field, above 95$0^{\circ}C$, the flow stress increased monotonically with plastic strain approaching steady state values. Constitutive equations for the dependence of flow stress on strain, strain rate, and temperature were developed through the analysis of the flow curves.

Algicidal bacteria were isolated from the mud of south coastal sea of Korean peninsula and screened to evaluate algicidal activity on Cochlodinium polykrikoides. The optimum condition for the development of highest algicidal activity was determined, The optimum sodium chloride concentration for algicidal activity of isolated algicidal bacteria was $3\%$. The optimum temperature, pH and culture time for the highest algicidal activity were $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7 and above 24 hr, respectively. The algicidal activity were significantly increased at the stationary phase of the cell growth and continuously increased up to maximum at the death phase, probably due to the release of algicidal substance by cell Iysis. The effect of zinc ion addition on algicidal activity, was observed and indicated that the substance requires zinc for its activity. The candidate for the algicidal substance may be $\alpha$-mannosidase.

Ab initio calculations are carried out on protonation equilibria of 5-memberedheteroaromatic aldehydes (5MHAs;heteroatom Y = NH, O, PH,and S and substituentZ = NH2, OCH3, SCH3, CH3, H, Cl, CHO, CN,NO2) at the $MP2}6-31G*$ level. Naturalbond orbital (NBO) analyses show that the optimal localized natural Lewis structures of the protonated aldehydes,(P), are ortho (C3) protonated (for Y = O, PH and S) and N-pro-tonated (for Y = NH) forms in contrast to the standard structural Lewis formula for aldehydes, (R). The delo-calizability of ${\pilone}-pairon$ the heteroatom $(n{\pi}(Y))$ is in the order Y = NH > O > S > PH. The transmission efficiency of (Z) substituent effects to the carbonyl moiety run parallel to the delocalizability of $n{\pi}(Y)$ for R,but is dominantly influenced by the cationic charge on $C{\alpha}(C{\alpha}+)$ for P, which is in the reverse order of thede-localizability of $n{\pi}(Y).$ The Hammett ${\rho}values$ for variation of Z in the protonation are determined by the dif-ference in the transmission efficiencies between Pand R stateat simple interpretation of their magnitude is not warranted. However,the magnitude of the gas-phase ${\rho}z+$ values decreases as the level ofcomputation is raised from RHF/3-21G* to RHF/6-31G* and to $MP2}6-31G*$ but increases again at the MP4SDQ/6-31G* level. Further decrease occurs when solvent effect (water) is accounted for by the SCRF method. Comparison of the SCRF ${\rho}z+values$ with those determined in the aqueous acid solution for Y = S and CHCH shows inadequacy of accounting for the solvent effects on the ${\rho}values$ by a continuum model. It is noteworthy that semiempirical calculations, especially theAM1 method, give even lower magnitude of the gas-phase ${\rho}values.

One phase liquid crystal formula was developed by using of nonionic surfactants, polyols, water and oils and its physical property was investigated. At the system oft to 1 ratio of POE octyldodecyl ether series, which have Y type (branch type) hydrophobic group, and POE glyceryl monostearate series, Y type hydrophilic group, it was examined that the formula at 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5 ratio of nonionic surfactant : polyols, shows L$\alpha$ , a pattern which is a typical characteristic of liquid crystal structure under the cross microscope polarized film. As results of L$\alpha$ phase diagram study, the formula which had high hydrophilic nonionic surfactant and the 7:3 ratio of nonionic surfactant : polyol appeared to increase the amount of oil containment and to be capable of the lamella formation. Besides it was examined that lamellar liquid crystal formula could contain about 25-40% water between lamella layers and it was transformed into w/o emulsion following as water content increased. When the lamella gel was applied into a human skin, it was investigated that it had effectiveness in increasing transepidermal water content of the skin.

Diatom growth is affected by associated bacteria that probably provide useful substances like vitamins. In the present study, we analysed the variation of vitamins $B_1$, $B_7$ and $B_{12}$ on the growth stages of the marine diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana and assessed putative vitamin-producing bacteria (e.g., ${\alpha}$- and ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria). HPLC analysis showed that total amounts of vitamins $B_1$ and $B_{12}$ decreased with cell growth, whereas vitamin $B_7$ increased gradually on the growth stages. $B_1$ and $B_{12}$ measured 0.5% and 0.18% at the stationary phase, following 0.25% and 0.72% at the lag phase. They considerably increased to 0.75% and 0.77% at the death stage. 16S pyrosequencing showed relatively high ratios of ${\alpha}$- and ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria in all the growth stages of the C. meneghiniana. In addition, we detected previously-reported vitamin-producing bacteria, such as Marinobacter, in high numbers. The species was dorminant in the lag (relative abundance 72%) and exponetial (72%) stages, whareas it decreased in the stationary (49%) and death (48%) stages. These results suggest that vitamins $B_1$ or $B_{12}$ may be necesaary for diatom growth and that associated bacteria, including Marinobacter, may produce these substances for the cell growth of C. meneghiniana.

This paper demonstrates the utility of the Ni-Pd and carbon-nanotube (Ni-Pd-CNT)-based nanoalloy to improve the α-Ga₂O₃ crystal quality using the halide-vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) method. As result, the overall thickness of the α-Ga₂O₃ epitaxial layer increased from a Ni electroless plating time of 40 s to 11 ㎛ after growth. In addition, the surface morphologies of the α-Ga₂O₃ epilayers remained flat and crack-free. The full-width half-maximum results of the X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the ($10{\bar{1}}4$) diffraction patterns decreased with increasing nominal thickness.

The optimization of analytical method for the thermal desorption of seven VOCs (volatile organic compounds) by TD-GC/MS (thermal desorption-gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer) with solid phase sorbent tube, and comparative analysis for the determination of VOCs plotted by standard sorbent tubes prepared using both gas phase and liquid phase materials were investigated. The result of paired t-test showed that a liquid phase standard sorbent tube method was in agreement with a gas phase standard sorbent tube method for six species of VOCs including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-, m-, and p-xylene except for styrene at the significance level (${\alpha}=0.01$), while the 15.6% of difference in response factor between both of gas phase and liquid phase standard plotting for the determination of styrene showed that both methods were significantly different at the significance level. Therefore, the liquid phase standard plotting method was employed to reduce erroneous data for the determination of styrene including BTEX. Under the optimized analytical method by liquid phase standard sorbent tube, recovery was between $100{\pm}5%$ for 7 species of VOCs, reproducibility ranged from 0.3 to 7.7%, and method detection limit (MDL) ranged from $0.01{\mu}g/m^3$ for o-xylene to $0.27{\mu}g/m^3$ for toluene. The optimized standard method was applied to determine VOCs VOCs from indoor air of of dormitory, one bedroom apartment, and a new car.

Recovery from potentially lethal damage (PLDR) after irradiation was studied in plateau-phase culture of Vero cells in vitro. Unfed plateau-phase cells were irradiated with dose of 1 to 9Gy using Cs-137 irradiator. Cells then were incubated again and left in situ for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 24 hours and then were trypsinized explanted, and subcultured in fresh RPMI-1640 media containing $0.33\%$ agar. Cell survival was measured by colony forming ability. An adequate number of heavily irradiated Vero cells were added as feeder cells to make the total cell number constant in every culture dish. As the postirradiation in situ incubation time increased, surviving fraction increased by PLDR. The rate of PLDR was so rapid that increased surviving fraction reached saturation level at 2 to 4 hours after in situ incubation. As the radiation dose increased, the rate of PLDR fastened and the magnitude of increased surviving fraction at saturation level by PLOR also increased. In analysis of cell survival curve fitted to the linear-quadratic model, the linear inactivation coefficient $(\alpha)$ decreased largely and reached nearly to zero but the quadratic inactivation coefficient $(\beta)$ increased minimally by increment of postirradiation in situ incubation time. So PLDR mainly affected the damage expressed as $\alpha$, In the multitarget model, significant change was not obtained in $D_0\;but\;in D_q$. Therefore, shoulder region in cell survival curve was mainly affected by PLDR and terminal slope was not influenced at all. And dose-modifying factor by PLDR was relatively higher in shoulder region, that is, in low dose area below 3 Gy.

The role of $Ca^{2+}$/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in the increase of myofilament $Ca^{2+}$ sensitivity by agonist and GTP was investigated in rabbit mesenteric ${\alpha}-toxin$ permeabilized artery. $0.3{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$ increased myosin light chain phosphorylations monotonically. $10\;{\mu}M$ norepinephrine and $10\;{\mu}M$ GTP potentiated increase of myosin light chain phosphorylations by $0.3{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$, which reaches a peak at 5 min and gradually declines to the $Ca^{2+}$ alone level at 20 min. At the early phase (1 min), $10\;{\mu}M$ KN 62, the inhibitor of $Ca^{2+}$/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II , decreased myosin light chain phosphorylation levels by $10\;{\mu}M$ norepinephrine and $10\;{\mu}M$ GTP in the presence of $0.3{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}.\;However\;10\;{\mu}M$ KN-62 did not affect the myosin light chain phosphorylations by $10\;{\mu}M$ norepinephrine and $10\;{\mu}M$ GTP in the presence of $0.3{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$ at the peak (5 min) and plateau phases (20 min). From these results, the role of $Ca^{2+}$/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II may be different depending on time, which may play a role in increase of myofilamint $Ca^{2+}$ sensitivity by norepinephrine and GTP resulting from increase of myosin light chain phosphorylations at the early phase. However, at plateau phase, $Ca^{2+}$/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II may not be involved in the increase of myofilament $Ca^{2+}$ sensitivity by norepinephrine and GTP in rabbit mesenteric ${\alpha}-toxin$ permeabilized artery.
