The following results were drawn from the experiment conducted to see the effect of ginseng alcohol extract on the mitochondrial oxidation of the rat liver. 1) Mitochondrial oxygen consumption increased in the low concentration and decreased in the high concentration of ginseng alcohol extract. 2) When the mitochondria was destroyed mechanically or was swollen by low concentration of $AgNO_3$, mitochondrial oxygen consumption was inhibited in all concentration of ginseng alcohol extract. 3) Oxygen consumption of intact mitochondria increased in the low concentration but decreased in the high concentration of sodium deoxycholate. 4) Ginseng alcohol extract inhibited cytochrome oxidase activities of liver mitochondria. These results suggest that low concentration of ginseng alcohol extract activates the oxygen consumption of liver mitochondria by increasing the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane and high concentration of the extract inhibit the oxygen consumption by inhibiting the enzyme activity related to respiration.

In this study, the waste of landfill was treated using advanced enriched oxygen combustion system. The oxygen concentration of this study was 21%, 25%, 30% and 40% and the operating capacity was 200 g/min and the residence time was 10 minutes. As increased the oxygen concentration of combustion air. temperature of the incinerator was increased and the temperature was increased rapidly when the oxygen concentration was 30%. As increased the oxygen concentration, the NOx (ppm) of flue gas increase d for thermal NOx, however the CO (ppm) of flue gas decreased according to the increase of combustion efficiency . The optimum operation condition of incineration was obtained when the oxygen concentration is 30%${\sim}$40%. The unburned carbon of ash decreased from 10% to 4% when the oxygen concentration was increased from 21% to 30%, therefore the high combustion efficiency can be obtained if used the oxygen enriched combustion system.

Mechanical alloying under various gas atmospheres such as Ar, an Ar-$H_2$ mixture, and He gases were carried out, and its effects on the powder properties, microstructure and mechanical properties of ODS ferritic steels were investigated. Hot isostatic pressing and hot rolling processes were employed to consolidate the ODS steel plates. While the mechanical alloyed powder in He had a high oxygen concentration, a milling in Ar showed fine particle diameters with comparably low oxygen concentration. The microstructural observation revealed that low oxygen concentration contributed to the formation of fine grains and homogeneous oxide particle distribution by the Y-Ti-O complex oxides. A milling in Ar was sufficient to lower the oxygen concentration, and this led a high tensile strength and fracture elongation at a high temperature. It is concluded that the mechanical alloying atmosphere affects oxygen concentration as well as powder particle properties. This leads to a homogeneous grain and oxide particle distribution with excellent creep strength at high temperature.

Electrical properties of $ZrO_2-TiO_2Yb_2O_3$mixed conductor (Ti-YbSZ) were investigated. This mixed conductor can be applied as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures. The total conductivity decreased with increasing the $TiO_2$concentration. At high temperatures, the rate of the conductivity degradation became smaller than that at low temperatures. From the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the total conductivity of Ti-YbSZ, the electronic conductivity increased with increasing $TiO_2$concentration at low oxygen partial pressures and at high temperatures. Both 15 and 20 mol% $TiO_2$doped YbSZ showed high oxygen permeability. Mixed conductors, which has high $TiO_2$concentration in YbSZ, are promising materials for using as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures.

The removal efficiencies and a total oxygen transfer coefficient for food waste leachate(FWL) were estimated by using Jet Loop Reactor(JLR). Pure oxygen was used instead of air to improve oxygen concentration in the JLR for high total chemical oxygen demamd(TCOD) in FWL. In JLB, in order to examining the oxygen transfer characteristic, the circulation flowrate and oxygen flowrate were controlled with 7~10 L/min(1.5 L/min interval) and 0.2~0.5 L/min (0.1 L/min interval) and we experimented according to the each condition. As a result, Oxygen uptake rate(OUR) and oxygen transfer rate could be maximized than the oxygen flowrate to increase the circulation flowrate. In addition, it determined that JLR using the pure oxygen which can obtain the greatest oxygen transfer rate as it was the high-concentration organic wastewater like the food waste leachate through the continuous experiment was appropriate.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration on the activated slut비e and to determine the optimum depth of deep shaft process. Some results from this study were summarized as follows. 1. It is considered that low sludge product in the activated sludge system maintaining high dissolved oxygen concentration is attributed to the increase of endogeneous respiration rate caused by the increase of aerobic zone in the sludge floe. 2. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration does not affect to the increase of organic removal efficiency greatly and therefore the limiting factor is the substrate transfer into the inner part of floe. 3. The yield coefficient, Y is decreased in proportion to the increase of oxygen concentration. In this study, Y values arre ranged from 0.70 to 0.41 according to the variation of dissolved oxygen concentration from 18.0mg/$\ell$ to 258 mg/$\ell$. 4. The optimum depth of deep shaft process should be determined within the limits of non-toxicity to the microorganism and it is about loom in this study.

Combustion using oxygen enriched air is an energy saving technology that can increase thermal efficiency by the improvement of burning rate and by the high temperature flame. Flame figures, OH radical intensities, temperature distributions and emission concentrations were measured according to oxygen enriched concentration and swirl number in a turbulent diffusion flat flame. It appeared that flame figure became flat and NO concentration decreased with increase of swirl number, and that the flame temperature increased high with increase of oxygen enriched concentration. In particular, it was most significant between oxygen concentration $40{\sim}60%$.

Selective catalytic reduction and selective non-catalytic reduction processes are mainly used to treat nitrogen oxidants generated from fossil-fuel combustion. Especially, the selective non-catalytic reduction process can be operated more economical and designed more simply than the selective catalytic reduction. For this reason, many researchers carried out to increase the removal efficiency of nitrogen oxidants in the condition of low oxygen concentration by using the selective non-catalytic reduction process. However, this study was flue gas contained high oxygen concentration of 20(v/v%) with ammonia as a reducing agent. Moreover, it carried out experiment with many factors that are reaction temperature, retention time, initial NO concentration, NSR(normalized stoichiometric ratio). It was determined optimal operating conditions to improve NO removal efficiency with SNCR process. The De-NOx efficiency was increased with NSR, initial NO concentration and retention time increasement. This study has NO removal efficiency over 80% in the high oxygen concentration as well as low oxygen concentration. The injection of reducing agent may be considered for SNCR process and facility operation in 850$\^{C}$ of optimal condition.

This study aims to explore the effect of combined stimulation consisting of relaxation-inducing scent and high-concentration oxygen on psychological/physiological responses. The cerebral blood flow responses and arousal that occur when oxygen concentration is controlled under the same scent conditions were observed. The experiment's scent was lavender oil (relaxing scent), and the oxygen concentrations were normal (21%) and high (30%). The experiment involved 12 male adults repeating a 5-minute rest period and a 5-minute stimulation period. The hemoglobin (HbO) concentration was extracted using the Beer-Lambert law to observe cerebral blood flow responses. Arousal was assessed using a 5-point scale questionnaire. A paired t-test was used to compare the two stimuli (lavender +21%, lavender +30%). Results reveal that HbO concentration in the frontal lobe increased, whereas arousal decreased at lavender +30% vs. lavender +21%. These results suggest that adding high-concentration oxygen to scent stimulation can induce more brain activation and relaxation.

The intrinsic oxygen-vacancy defects in ZnO have prevented the preparation of p-type ZnO with high carrier concentration. Therefore, in this work, the effect of the concentration of H₂O₂ (used as an oxygen source) on the oxygen-vacancy concentration in ZnO prepared by atomic layer deposition was investigated. The results indicated that the oxygen-vacancy concentration in the ZnO film decreased by the oxygen-rich growth conditions when using H₂O₂ as the oxygen precursor instead of a conventional oxygen source such as H₂O. The suppression of oxygen vacancies decreased the carrier concentration and increased the resistivity. Moreover, the growth orientation changed to the (002) plane, from the combined (100) and (002) planes, with the increase in H₂O₂ concentration. The passivation of oxygen-vacancy defects in ZnO can contribute to the preparation of p-type ZnO.
