TiO$_2$ sol was prepared by sol-gel method, and this sol was coated in ceramic and glass bead by dip-coating method. The coated catalyst was applied to degrade benzene in the gas phase by exposing to UV -lamp (365 nm) in a batch reactor. The removal efficiency of the benzene was compared by changing various conditions such as the kind of chemical additives, the coating beads (ceramic and glass), solution pH, the initial concentration of TiO$_2$ sol, UV intensity, and benzene concentration. The physical structure of TiO$_2$ sol used in this study was found to be pu-rely anatase type from XRD analysis. The results showed that ceramic bead was effective as the coating agent rath-er than glass bead. The significant change in the benzene removal efficiency of benzene did not occur with chang-ing coating frequency and the initial concentration of TiO$_2$ sol. The removal efficiency of benzene increased with increasing UV intensity, and with acidic treatment of TiO$_2$-coated ceramic bead.

Retroreflector is different from other reflecting surfaces as it mades reflection in which radiation is returned in directions close to its incoming direction. Because of this characteristics, retroreflectors find many applications in traffic safety related areas. Retroreflectors are usually made using comer cubes, or partially coated glass beads. These glass beads can be made very small, so that they can be coated on sheets or mixed with paints. The design of glass type retroreflector depends on glass bead's shape and material, and its optical characteristics are related to the refractive index of glass. In this paper, a method of anlyzing glass bead type retroreflector's sptical characteristics with respect to shape and optica property of the glass, is presented. First, the coefficient of retroreflection, which is a measure of retroreflector's optical characteristics, is derived analytically using geometrical optics method. And the result is plotted using numerical methods. The results show good match with those obtained experimentally, which were supplied from a commercial retroreflector manufacturer.

To improve the adhesion of interface and dispersion of glass beads in the composite, HDPE filled with glass brads, we encapsulated the g1ass beads with polymer by phase separation method using complex coacervation in organic solvent. EMAA and EAA were used as the polymeric wall materials. The microencapsulation efficiency and morphology were observed by thermogravimetric analysis and SEM, respectively. And also we investigated the physical and dynamic mechanical properties of the composite as the function of the beads contents and microencapsulation efficiency. Compared with the composite containing non-treated glass beads, the decrease in tensile strengthe of the composites containing the encapsulated glass beads become markedly small, and about 30~40% Increase in tensile modulus was observed. From the results of the dynamic mechanical analysis, it was found that the adhesion of interface and dispersion could be improved upon encapsulation.

This study investigates the symbolism and meaning of the bead design, its relationship with the Silla culture, and the conditions of glass bead manufacturing to verify the theory of Silla's production of Silla face-inlaid glass beads with excellent artistry and technology. The research method includes investigating the design analysis, ancient documents, myths, relics, glass, and metal production techniques. Moreover, Hongshan cultural relics and other cases of inlaid glass beads were collected. There are records in the literature that the people of Makhan, Buyeo and Silla of ancient Korea people considered beads as treasures and used them for accessories. It was confirmed that all the design elements of the bead-patterned hair topknot, golden crown, birds, and flower trees were closely related to the myth of Kim Al-ji of Silla, the oviparous tales and the sacred birds and divine beasts of the north. Moreover, the pattern and arrangements were found to be similar in other Silla relics. The origin of beads and face pendants was Hongsan culture, and a stone cast for beads was discovered in Bukpyo of Gojoseon, the lower-level culture of Hajiajeom. In addition, excavating inlaid glass beads from Sik-ri tombs of Korea and a face-inlaid glass bead from Toganmori tombs in Japan confirms the theory of Silla's production. The fact that the Baekje people of ancient Korea had a glass bead manufacturing office in Japan in the fifth centuries suggests that the Silla people also had a manufacturing plant in Java, Indonesia, because this place was a crossroads of Silla's Sea Silk Road and a source of raw materials and labors with a close relationship to Silla. Therefore, the face-inlaid glass bead was indeed self-made by Silla, who possessed the tradition of bead myths and hair topknot, and the high-level skills such as gold crowns and metal inlays.

The killing effects of two types(one-phase reactor and two-phase reactor) of UV-TiO$_2$photocatalytic system on the microorganisms have been studied. The UV-lamp which emits maximum 39 watts at 254 nm was prepared in these system. Three types of $TiO_2$ coating method were adopted. One type is thin film coated form on the quartz tube in the reactor and another one is surface rough coated form on the glass bead. The other one is $TiO_2$-mixed alginate bead form. UV irradiation was carried out for 1 min. In case of one phase reactor, the bactericidal efficiencies of E. coli by $TiO_2$-coated quartz tube and $TiO_2$-coated glass bead were 63.2% and 89.9%, respectively. In the air-bubbling system, the bactericidal efficiency was 95%, however, the efficiency decreased to 90.6% in the non-bubbling system. In the $TiO_2$-mixed alginate bead system, bactericidal efficiency was 86%. When $H_2O$$_2$ was treated (10, 15, 20, and 25 mg/ι) to the $TiO_2$-coated glass bead reactor, bactericidal efficiency significantly increased according to the concentration of $H_2$$O_2$. Two phase reactor showed more elevated efficiency. E. coli was more sensitive to the reaction than S. cerevisiae.

Kyungsan nursery complex which has a vast area for the production of various species of fruit tree stocks is in a high demand of virus-free saplings. Apple tree stocks, the most important products, urgently need more rapid and reliable viral diagnosis. In this study, a bead beater was tested because of convenience in dealing with large number of samples. Also, industrial glass bead abrasive (0.4 mm in diameter) at very low cost was used in a disposable way. For bead beater-aided RNA extraction from apple stem tissues, the guanidine thiocyanate method was confirmed to be very reliable. Silca membrane filter tube in connection to vacuum filtering device was strongly suggested for simplifying RNA capture and washing steps. Apple virus detection was confirmed by RT-PCR.

Lactobacillus spry. are Gram-positive bacteria playing important roles in human health. In this study, we successfully isolated the total RNA from the cells broken by glass beads using hot phenol method. Moreover, we were able to omit lysozyme and proteinase K treatment by using glass beads to break cell more efficiently. This method was more rapid and simple when compared to the previous one. Prepared RNA can be used for the transcriptional analysis of Lactobacillus spp.

Chemical compositions and lead isotope ratios for four glass bead samples of Seokga-tap were analyzed and the results were organized. Among 4 glass beads found in the Seokga-tap, 3 pieces were lead glass. Manufacturing method was to firstly grind pebbles finely and mix lead ore to be melt at $740{\sim}760^{\circ}C$. The mixed ratio of silica and lead was 3:7. Moreover, The evaluation on the lead isotope ratio indicated that two lead glass pieces used lead ore from northern Korea. One piece has the direction of southern Korea lead ore, but it requires a further review. One glass bead of Seokga-tap was brown and it was potash lead glass ($K_2O-PbO-SiO_2$) System. The mixed ratio was approximately 50:10:40 for silica, natural saltpeter, and lead, respectively. Lead isotope ratio data fell within the lead ore from northern China. Therefore, it was concluded that potash lead glass found in the Seokga-tap was produced in northern area of China at the end of $10^{th}$ century and transferred to the Seokga-tap.

Many different cells types have been found to be highly sensitive to mechanical force imposed by their surroundings. The cellular response to external mechanical forces has very important effects on numerous biological phenomena. In spite of its importance in biological processes, the cell adhesion force remains difficult to measure quantitatively at the cellular level. In this paper, to enhance quantitative measurements of cell adhesive interactions, a new attaching system and a method in which a glass bead can be attached to an AFM cantilever was designed and fabricated, and the degree of range displacement was controlled in the system. In an experiment, the movement of the stage in the attaching system and the attaching process were measured. The effectiveness of this system was confirmed as well in the experiment. In addition, through a commercial AFM system, the spring constant of the modified AFM probe could be measured.
