Effect of suppression for zoosporangial germination and mycelial growth of Phyto­phthora capsici causing red pepper fruit rot, was carried out in vitro test by using $NH_4OH$ and $KNO_2$, as ammonium/ammonia, nitrite/nitrous acid and $CaCl_2$, as calcium ion. Results of in vitro tests with $NH_4OH$, $KNO_2$, and $CaCl_2$, mol solutions demonstrated that zoosporangial germination of P. capsici was inhibited about 15 to 50% compared with control, according to $NH_3$, HNO as nonionized form and $Ca^{+2}$ ions. Ammonia concentration$(NH_3)$ was proportionally increased by high pH level and mol concentration, whereas low pH and high mol concentration showed rather higher concentration of $HNO_2$. Ammonia were more toxic at pH 8 than at pH 7 under the same concentration, while nitrous acid$(HNO_2)$ was more toxic than at pH 8. The zoosporangial germination inhibition in the ammonium/ammonia and nitrite/nitrous acid solutions demonstrated that $NN_3$, and $HNO_2$, were primarily responsible for the inhibition at lower concentration and mor" toxic by increasing concentration. $Ca^{+2}$ ions showed that zoosporangial germination was inhibitory by high pH level and increasing mol concentration in comparison with buffer conlrol. pH levels affected to mycelial growth of the fungus, and especially, high pH caused rather retardation of mycelial growth. There was no definite inhibitory response of mycelial growth at various degree concentrations of the toxicant solutions.

Effects of ${AI_2O_3}/{P_2O_5}$ ratio on the crystallization of a series of glasses with the nominal composition of 41.4wt % $SiO_2$, 35.0wt % CaO, 20.6wt % (${P_2O_5}$+${AI_2O_3}$) and 3.0wt% MgO were investigated with DTA, XRD and SEM. The major crystalline phases are apatite and anorthite. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and the softening point ($T_s$) are shifted to the upper temperature by increasing $AI_2O_3$ content. The temperature of apatite crystallization ($T_{p1}$) is increased by $AI_2O_3$ content, but the tempera¬ture of anorthite crystallization ($T_{p2}$) is not affected significantly. With increased of $AI_2O_3$, the apatite crystallization is decreased, but anorthite crystallization is increased.

EPMA and XPS on $Bi_2Sr_2-\chi_LCa_1+\chi_LCu_2O_{8+d}$($\chi_L$ = 0.01, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) films by LPE method were performed in order to investigate Sr and Ca distributions in SrO- and Ca-layers. It is found that $T_C^{zero}$ carrier concentration and lattice parameter c monotonically decreases with increasing $\chi_L$. Sr and Ca contents in Ca-layer change in proportion to that in melt. On the other hand, in SrO-layer, Ca content strongly depends on Sr content in that layer and not on Ca content in melt. Since deficiency in SrO-layer increases and $T_C^{zero}$ creases with $\chi_L$,t is found that the deficiencies of Sr and Ca atoms in the SrO-layer has a influence on reducing $T_C^{zero}$.

Bretlanomyces C!tstersii Hl-39 mutant was immobilized with various caniers. Immobilized mutant Hl-39 produced more ethanol and showed higher productivity and cell concentration than those of free 81-39 in 3.4% hydrolyzate of wood-chips at different temperatures ($37^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$ and $43^{\circ}C$). At $37^{\circ}C$, ethanol concentration produced by mutant H1-39 immobilized in Ca-alginate and ARG(l % Ca-alginate, 1.67% bentonite, 0.33% glutaraldehyde) bead were higher than those produced by the other earners (ACG ; 1 % CaHalginate. ] .67% celite R-634 , 0.33% glutaraldehyde, ABP ; 1 % Ca-alginate. 1.67% bentonite, 0.33% pectin. ACP: 1 % Ca-alginate, ] .67% celiLe R-634, 0.33% pecLin). The highest value of productivity(l.23 ) was obtained by using ABG beads. At $40^{\circ}C$, ethanol conccntration and productivity obtained by ABC beads ,>,"ere 15.2 glL and 0.84 gl L.h, respectively, which showed the highest value compared to other carriers. Particularly, productivity of ilmnobilized ceIl was increased up to 90% as compared to that offree cell. On the other hand, ABP(l % Ca-alginate+L67% bentonile+O.33% pectin) beads gave the best resulLs at $43^{\circ}C$ for production of ethanol and productivity, which were 13.8 g!l and 0.77 g/l h, respectively.ively.

Electrochemical cell, $Pt|air(PO_2=5.3{\times}10^{-3}atm)|Zr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15}O_{1.85}|air(PO_2= 0.21atm)|Pt$, has been designed to characterize the solid electrolyte and the temperature dependence of the electromotive force (EMF) has been measured in a temperature range of 600∼1000${\circ}$C. Solid electrolyte shows pure ionic conduction of the oxygen anion. The Fe-FexO, Co-CoO, Ni-NiO, and Cu2O-CuO electrodes have been prepared by mixing the 1 : 1 mole ratio of each metal and metal oxide and then by heating at 800${\circ}$C for 6 hours. Electrochemical cells, Pt│M(s), $MO(s)|Zr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15}O_{1.85}|air(PO_2=0.21atm)|Pt$, have been designed and the temperature dependence of the EMF has also been measured in the same temperature range. The changes of the thermodynamic state functions for the formation of the metal oxides are calculated from the electromotive forces and their temperature dependences. The material properties of the oxide systems are also discussed with the function changes.

Physico-chemical characteristics of the Ca-based and Na-based dry sorbents were compared using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) methods. The studied characteristics were thermal stability, sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$) absorption capacity and absorption rate at $250^{\circ}C$ which is a typical temperature before a fabric filter, and $SO_2$ absorption capacity at an ambient temperature. Calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$) started to decompose into calcium oxide (CaO) at $390^{\circ}C$ and completed at 480~$500^{\circ}C$, showing 76% of an original $Ca(OH)_2$ weight. Sodium bicarbonate ($NaHCO_3$) also converted to sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) between $95^{\circ}C$ and $190^{\circ}C$, decreasing the weight to 63% of its initial weight. Among four sorbents tested at $250^{\circ}C$, sodium carbonate had the highest capacity, absorbing 0.35 g $SO_2$/g sorbent. Calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide followed that showing 0.156 g and 0.065 g $SO_2$ absorption per absorbent respectively. Ca-based absorbents showed slower rate than sodium carbonate because of initial stagnant step. However, calcium hydroxide caught more $SO_2$ than sodium carbonate at ambient temperature. From this work, it can be concluded that Ca-based absorbent is a proper sorbent for $SO_2$ treatment at low temperature and sodium carbonate, at high temperature.

Factors affecting on dewatering characteristics of anaerobically digested or/and elutriated sludges were examined from 15 January 1982 to 30 April 1982, results obtained were as follows 1. Sludges, either anaerobically digested or/and elutriated sludges, which were produced at the Joong Rang Cheon Sewage Treatment Plant wore found to be compressive in its nature, coefficient of compressibility ranged from 0.83 for unelutriated and 1.10 for elutriated. 2. Dosage of FeC13 for the anaerobically digested sludges were difficult to establish for the most favorable dosage rate, though the filterability indicated linear improvement with increased dosage from dosing rate excess of over 15% in terms of dry solids by weight, under the conditions of this examination. Optimum filterability were obtained with 9~11% of $FeCl_3$ for elutriated sludges, and required CaO, as aids, were appeared to be 2.5~3.5 times that of the $FeCl_3$ at that point by weight. 3. The specific resistances for anaerobically digested sludges showed higher value than the elutriated one, being $11 \times 10^{12} ~ 20 \times 10^{12}$ cm/g with no chemical conditioning, and $2 \times 10^{12} ~ 11 \times 10^{12}$ cm/g with conditioned ($FeCl_3$ + CaO) contrast to $0.5 \times 10^{12} ~ 2.0 \times 10cm/g$ for the elutriated. 4. The strength of the alkalinities before and after elutriation were measured to 10,000 ~ 15,000 mg/l and 1,500 ~ 2,000mg/l respectively. These alkalinities affected greatly on the filterabilities together with concentration of the organic matters in the sludges. 5. The yields with 11% $FeCl_3$, by weight to the DS, on the elutriated sludges averaged to $14.7 kg/m^2.hr$, and $3.2kg/m^2.hr$ for unelutriated sludges. Which was 4.6 times of not elutriated sludges. Elutriated sludges without chemical conditioner added showed much better filterabilities than with 15% of $FeCl_3$ added to the anaerobically digested and unelutriated sludges.

The heat-storage characteristics accompanied by exothermic reaction at the regeneration of $Ca(OH)_2$ in tile heat-storage mode of a chemical heat pump system using a $Ca(OH)_2/CaO$ reversible thermochemical reaction was examined in a lab-scale unit. In this heat-storage mode, the particle bed of CaO could be regenerated by heating the $Ca(OH)_2$ packed bed to the higher temperature at which the equilibrium pressure in the reactor is greater than the water vapor pressure in the condenser. The results are i) the dehydration, thermal decomposition, rate of $Ca(OH)_2$ was higher at the lower part of particle bed than at the upper part, ii) in the reactor, the dehydration was proceeded along radial and axial direction, from inner part to the outer part, which explains heat transfers from the center to wall and from the tenter to lower or upper part of reactor.
