This study was peformed to investigate the effects of Lycii fructus extracts on the growth and physiology of S. cerevisae D7l, L. casei KCTC 3165, and E. coli DH5. When Lycii fructus was added into solid culture media, the growth of S. cerevisea D7l and L. casei KCTC 3165 was increased, whereas that of E. coli DH5 was somewhat decreased. The growth of S. cerevisiea D7l and L. casei KCTC 3165 were much promoted in the culture media including methanol extract of 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively. E. coli DH5 was changed its morphology not only in 10% Lycii fructus juice but also 1.0% methanol and chloroform extract of Lycii fructus. Its size in those growth condition was eight times longer than that of the normal E. coli DH5. It was elucidated that elongation phenomenan of E. coli DH5 was also appeared by adding 0.135% of Na$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, and the mixture of Na$^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.TEX> +/.

The high viscous ${\gamma}$-polyglutamic acid(${\gamma}$-PGA) from alkalophilic Alcaligenes sp. was purified and its solution property was investigated. The intrinsic viscosities for Na+ form and H+ form of ${\gamma}$-PGA were 31.1 and 0.38d$\ell$/g, respectively. The viscosity of H+-PGA was not influenced by pH or salts while that of Na+-PGA was influenced. The intrinsic viscosity of Na+-PGA solution decreased remarkably at the alkaline or acidic pH and showed the sharp decrease when salts were added. ${\gamma}$-PGA exhibited the property of the polyelectrolyte showing the .sharp decrease of intrinsic viscosity by the addition of NaCl, and intrinsic viscosity of dilute solution with the low concentration of NaCl was exponentially dependent on temperature and its temperature dependency increased with increasing NaCl concentration. The chain stiffness, coil overlap parameter and critical concentration of Na+-PGA were 0.08, 5.25 and 0.07g/d$\ell$, respectively.

We studied two-photon-resonant three-photon ionization processes via 4D[channel #1] and 5S(channel #2] intermediate state of Na atom in a quartz ionization cell. For each channel. the bandwidth of ionization spectrum increased linearly with laser intensity and the ionization signal followed J3 dependence at low intensity. Compared with channel # 1 . ionization signal of channel #2 was enhanced by a factor of 20 - 25. The measured AC Stark shift factor of 3S - 4I) transition was $174\pm60MHz/MW/textrm{cm}^2$..

The M/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al₂(BO₃)₂O (M = Ca and Sr) solid solution systems have been shown interstitial solid solutions and continuous substitutional solid solutions. The symmetry around the Eu site of yEu/sup 3+/ : M/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al/sub 2-y/Mg/sub /(BO₃)₂O (M = Ca and Sr) changes the intensities and the chromaticities of transitions. The Eu/sup 3+/ion can be very bright and efficient and have the desired emission wave-length depending on the site symmetry of the Eu/sup 3+/ion site. As the amount of Na in the Eu/sup 3+/ion doped Ca/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al₂(BO₃)₂O system increases, the Eu site symmetry is going to be a noncentrosymmetric site. With increasing x, the decreased intensity in the /sup 5/D/sub 0/→/sup 7/F₁(590 nm) transition relates to the low symmetry of the Eus/up 3+/-doped Ca/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al₂(BO₃)₂O system, because of the Ca-centered octahedron in the CaAl₂(BO₃)₂O compound. The SrAl₂(BO₃)₂O compound also provides an improved chromaticity due to the lower site symmetry of Eu/sup 3+/ion.

The activities of enzymes that act on oxygen derivatives in Rhodobacter sphaeroides D-230 were investigated under various culture conditions. Intracellular SOD activity from the cells grown in aerobic or anaerobic culture conditions was highest at pH 7.0 and pH 8.0, respectively. On the other hand, extracellular SOD activity was highest at pH 6.0. Catalase activity was highest at neutral pH in both cases. Growth of R. sphaeroides D-230 in aerobic or anaerobic culture conditions was inhibited by methyl viologen. As R. sphaeroides D-230 was cul-tured aerobically, SOD activity was increased about 2-fold by addition of iron ion. But $Mn^+2$ had little effect on the SOD activity of R. sphaeroides D-230 grown in aerobically. NaCN, the inhibitor of Cu$.$Zn-SOD, did not inhibit SOD activity. But, $NaN_3$, the inhibitor of Mn-SOD, inhibited SOD activity in anaerobic cultures con-dition. Therefore, R. sphaeroides D-230 produce Mn-SOD in anaerobic condition, although Fe-Sod is produced in aerobic condition. The activity of catalase was induced by methyl viologen, however, extremely inhibited by NaCN and $NaN_3$.

This study evaluated glucose effect on Listeria monocytogenes survival under gamma irradiation and NaCl stress. L. monocytogenes in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) plus glucose (0-4%) was treated with gamma irradiation (0-0.5 kGy), and the samples were then exposed to NaCl (0-9%) in tryptic soy agar plus 0.6% yeast extract. $D_{10}$ and $t_{3D}$ values were determined, and a model for prediction of $D_{10}$ values was developed. Cell counts of L. monocytogenes reduced as irradiation dose increased, and L. monocytogenes in PBS (no glucose) was more sensitive to irradiation and NaCl compared to those in PBS (2 or 4% glucose). $D_{10}$ values were 0.07-0.1, 0.12-0.16, and 0.13-0.15 kGy for 0, 2, and 4% glucose, respectively. The $t_{3D}$ values were 0.22-0.3 (0% glucose), 0.35-0.48 (2% glucose), and 0.40-0.44 (4% glucose). A model performance was acceptable. These results indicate that glucose in foods would increase the resistance of L. monocytogenes to gamma irradiation and NaCl stress.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of fertilization programs on crop growth, nutrient uptake and yield of strawberry and salt accumulation in PE film house soil. To achieve these, experiments were conducted through two years with various fertilization program such as traditional fertilization(A), recommended fertilization of Rural development administration (B), Tochigi prefectural experiment station (C) and Nonsan strawberry experiment station (D), and control (E). In 1st year, statistical differences in growth characteristics were not observed among treatments except (E). Yield per 10 was the highest in (D) followed by (A), (B), (C) and (E) and there was the statistical difference between (D) and (E). In the 2nd year experiment, growth characteristics and yield showed similar trends to those of 1st year experiment. In the results of soil analysis of 2nd year, the soil pH of all treatments were in the acceptable range, while electrical conductivity of (A) and (D) were 2.36 and 2.19 %$dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. After finishing of strawberry cultivation, nitrate concentration in soil solution of (A) and (D) were 74.6 and 65.0%$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and Na in those were 3.71 and 3.53 $cmol+kg^{-1}$, respectively. Above results indicated that (A) and (D) were good fertilization program for strawberry cultivation, but those also resulted in accumulation of $NO_{3-}N$ and Na in PE house soil.

Na-MMT intercalated with PEGMA macromer was prepared using an EtAc/acetone mixture (1/1 by volume) as a solvent. PEGMA/(Na-MMT)-co-MMA/MA nanocomposites was synthesized by copolymerizing intercalated compound with MMA and MA, and then characterization was performed. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that in the case of Na-MMT intercalated with PEGMA macromer the d-spacings of silicate of Na-MMT increased with increasing of Na-MMT loading. As the Na-MMT loading increases Tg showed increasing trend through the DSC measurement. TGA result showed that thermal stability of PEGMA/(Na-MMT)-co-MMA/MA nanocomposites improved a little more than the pure PEGMA-co-MMA/MA.

Because the application of lithium has gradually increased for the production of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), more research studies about recycling using solvent extraction (SX) should focus on Li⁺ recovery from the waste solution obtained after the removal of the valuable metals nickel, cobalt and manganese (NCM). The raffinate obtained after the removal of NCM metal contains lithium ions and other impurities such as Na ions. In this study, we optimized a selective SX system using di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as the extractant and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) as a modifier in kerosene for the recovery of lithium from a waste solution containing lithium and a high concentration of sodium (Li⁺ = 0.5 ~ 1 wt%, Na⁺ = 3 ~6.5 wt%). The extraction of lithium was tested in different solvent compositions and the most effective extraction occurred in the solution composed of 20% D2EHPA + 20% TBP + and 60% kerosene. In this SX system with added NaOH for saponification, more than 95% lithium was selectively extracted in four extraction steps using an organic to aqueous ratio of 5:1 and an equilibrium pH of 4 ~ 4.5. Additionally, most of the Na⁺ (92% by weight) remained in the raffinate. The extracted lithium is stripped using 8 wt% HCl to yield pure lithium chloride with negligible Na content. The lithium chloride is subsequently treated with high purity ammonium bicarbonate to afford lithium carbonate powder. Finally the lithium carbonate is washed with an adequate amount of water to remove trace amounts of sodium resulting in highly pure lithium carbonate powder (purity > 99.2%).
