The high purity manganese oxides were made from the dust, generated in AOD process that produces a medium-low carbon ferromanganese and collected in the bag filter. Manganese oxide content in the dust was about 90%, and its phase was confirmed as Mn₃O₄. In the extraction of manganese, because of remaining amorphous MnO₂, the dust was reduced to MnO by roasting with charcoal. The pulp density of the reduced dust can control pH of the solution more than 4 and then Fe ion is precipitated to a ferric hydroxide. Because a ferric hydroxide co precipitates with Si ion etc, Fe, Si ion was removed f개m the solution. Heating made water to be volatized and nitrates was left in reactor Then nitrates were a liquid state and stirring was possible. Among the nitrates in reactor, only the manganese nitrate which have the lowest pyrolysis temperature pyrolyzed into β-MnO₂powder and NO₂(g) at the temperature less than 200℃. When the pyrolysis of manganese nitrate has been completed about 90%, injection of water stopped the pyrolysis. Nitrates of impurity dissolved and the spherical high purity β-MnO₂powders were obtained by filtering and washing. Mn₂O₃or Mn₃O₄ powder could be manufactured from β-MnO₂powder by controlling the heating temperature. Lastly, a manufactured manganese oxide particle has 99.97% purity.

$Cd_{1-x}Mn_xTe$ thin films were grown on GaTs (100) substrates by hot-wall epitaxy method. From the XRD measurements, it was found that CdTe/GaAs (100)film was grown as a single crystal with the same growth plane of (100) and $Cd_{1-x}Mn_xTe$film as a poly crystal as Mn content was increased, and the lattice constant was decressed with the similar gradient of bulk crystal as x was increased. From the PL measurements, $L_1$line due to the exciton trapped on an acceptor and $L_2$line due to an exciton trapped on a shallow potential fluctuation were observed, and $L_1$line was observed only in $Cd_{0.91}Mn_{0.09}$te but it was disappeared probably due to a stronger lacalization of excitons with increasing alloy fluctuation.$L_2$line was dominant in case of $x{\ge}0.2$and for higher Mn contents the broad transition about 2.0eV associated to the 3d levels of the $Mn^{2+}$ ion dominated the PL spectrum, and the $L_2$ transition become weaker and weaker. For$x{\ge}0.4$, the transition line about 2.0eV due to $Mn^{2+}$ion showed no shift.

The $MnO_2$ electrodeposited on the surface of the carbon nanofiber mats ($MnO_2$-LCNFM) were prepared from electrospun lignin-g-PAN copolymer via heat treatments and subsequent $MnO_2$ electrodeposition method. The resulting $MnO_2$-LCNFM was evaluateed for its potential use in a supercapicitor electrode. The increase of $MnO_2$ electric deposition time was revealed to increase diameter of carbon nanofibers as well as $MnO_2$ content on the surface of carbon nanofiber mats as confirmed by scanning electon microscope (SEM) analysis. The electrochemical properties of $MnO_2$-LCNFM electrodes are evaluated through cyclic voltammetry test. It was shown that $MnO_2$-LCNFM electrode exhibited good electrochemical performance with specific capacitance of $168.0mF{\cdot}cm^{-2}$. The $MnO_2$-LCNFM supercapacitor successfully fabricated using the gel electrolyte ($H_3PO_4$/Polyvinyl alcohol) showed to have the capacitance efficiency of ~90%, and stable behavior during 1,000 charging/discharging cycles.

To estimate the chemical mass balance of several kinds of trace metals in sea water, suspended matter and bottom sediments, sixty samples from the Kum and Mankyung estuaries were analyzed. In both estuaries, the distribution patterns of leachabl suspended trace metals and of bottom sediments were established to be similar. The relationship between the metal concentration and clay content of the sediments was found to be such that the metal concentration increases with an increase in clay content. A linear correlation ws determined between pairs of leachable metals (Fe-Zn, Fe-Mn and Zn-Mn) in the Kum estuary. However, in the Mankyung estuary linear relationship does not exist. Finally, it is suggested that the trace metals are reworking in the Kum estuary and those in the Mankyung estuary are sinking.

The present study was attempted to investigate the effects of polyamines such as putrescine, spermidine and spermine on protein content and DNase activity in vivo and in vitro in carrot embryos. It was also investigated whether polyamines could replace role of cations required for DNase activity in vitro. The results obtained are as follows. Putrescine, spermidine and spermine increased protein content, although response to spermine reached plateau at the concentration of 0.1 mM. DNase activity was inhibited by polyamines, the inhibition being concentration-dependent and the highest att he concentration of 10 mM. The inhibition of DNase activity was the most prominent with spermine. Similar inhibitory effect to polyamines which was concentration-dependent was found in DNase activity but no change was shown on time-course in vitro. Putrescine and spermidine enhanced the DNase activity at low Mg2+ and Mn2+ concentrations, suggesting that the role of Mg2+ and Mn2+ for DNase activity could be, in part, replaced by these polyamines. These results, therefore, suggest that plyamines can modulate DNase activity through binding to DNA rather than direct effect on DNase activity.

We looked into the content change of microelements participating in the metabolism among the impacts of radiation energy on living bodies. We irradiated X-rays of 1 Gy, 5 Gy and 10 Gy to the whole bodies of mice, and then analyzed the liver tissues. We found that the microelement content had changed in some elements compared with the control group. When it came to changes by radiation dose, there was no significant change with the absorbed level of 1 Gy, but the higher absorbed levels of 5 Gy and 10 Gy reduced the content of Ca and Mn. In particular, the Ca content was reduced the most, apparently causing symptoms such as muscle tension and chronic headache, etc. The increased element was Al, which was found to have increased by 100%. In regard to the content change according to the time elapsed after irradiation, the contents of Fe, Ba, etc. showed the tendency of reduction. The content of Cd, a harmful element, increased by 25%, and it seemed that the element was involved in the calcium metabolism. Therefore, cell damage by radiation energy is determined to have an impact on the content change of microelements and considered to be partly related to a cause of precursor symptoms.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the synthesis method, melamine content, and GPC parameters (such as flow rate, column-detector temperature, and sample injection temperature) on the molecular weight of melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resins. Two different synthesis methods were employed. In the first method, MUF-A resins were synthesized by simultaneously reacting urea, formaldehyde, and melamine (5%, 10%, and 20%) using the reaction of alkaline-acid-alkaline steps under controlled temperature and viscosity. In the second method, MUF-B resins were synthesized by first reacting melamine at the same levels with formaldehyde and then by adding urea. The highest weight average molecular weight (Mw) of MUF-A resins was found at 10% melamine content when the flow rate was 0.3 and 0.8 ml/min; Mw decreased slightly at 20% melamine content. The results showed that Mw increased with an increase in the melamine content when the flow rate was 0.5 and 1.0 ml/min. In addition, Mw was the highest when the flow rate, column-detector temperature, and injection temperature were 0.3 ml/min, 50℃, and 25℃, respectively. On the contrary, MUF-B resins had greater Mw and number average molecular weight (Mn) than MUF-A resins. Overall, Mw and Mn increased as the melamine content increased. The optimal GPC parameter for MUF resins was determined as follows: a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, a column-detector temperature of 50℃, and a sample injection temperature of 50℃.
