Oreorchis coreana Finet is threatened globally by over-collection from its natural habitats for horticultural purposes. Its rarity in nature makes this plant one of the most endangered species in Korea. In this study, we investigated the effects of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on orchid seed viability and seed germination. An in vitro bioassay swelling test using immature seeds was compared with a standard chemical procedure using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) to test seed viability. In general, the bioassay was more appropriate for estimating embryo viability after a prolonged pre-treatment (more than 1 h) in 1% NaOCl, a surface sterilant often used to enhance germination of seeds of terrestrial plants. Therefore, an efficient method for investigating in vitro swelling of immature seeds is urgently needed. We established a method for determining the viability and swelling of O. coreana seeds via in vitro examination of immature seeds. Treatment of immature seeds with 1% NaOCl for 10 min greatly enhanced the extent of swelling of immature zygote embryos when compared to untreated seeds. These data obtained here appear to be comparable to viability and swelling that occurs in O. coreana seeds via asymbiotic germination.

저온균일침전법(HPPLT)으로 제조된 TiO$_2$나노분말은 10$0^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서 rutile상을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, rutile에서 anatase로의 상변화는 합성시간, 가열속도, 반응온도 그리고 음이온 첨가에 의해 일어난다고 보고되어졌지만, 금속양이온들에 의한 상변화는 알려진 바가 없다. 따라서, 다양한 양이온을 첨가하여 저온균일침전법에서 TiO$_2$의 상변화가 어떻게 일어나는지를 조사하였다. 출발원료인 TIC1$_4$를 사용하여 가수분해하여 0.67M의 TiOCl$_2$을 얻었다. 얻어진 TiOCl$_2$ 수용액에 각각 0.01M의 금속염화물(ZrOCl$_2$, NiCl$_2$, CuCl$_2$, FeCl$_3$, AlCl$_3$ 그리고 NbCl$_{5}$)을 첨가한 후 반응기에 넣고 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간동안 가열하였다 가열한 후 얻어진 침전물에 NaOH 수용액을 이용하여 PH 7-8로 중화한 후 증류수로 Cl$^{-}$이온이 제거될 때까지 충분히 세척하였다. 세척된 침전물을 105$^{\circ}C$에서 24h동안 건조하여 분말을 얻었고, rutile에서 anatase로의 상변화특성을 관찰하기 위하여 XRD, SEM, TEM, ICP 분석을 실시하였다.

Crystalline TiO2 ultrafine powders were prepared simply by heating and stirring aqueous TiOCl2 solution with {{{{ {Ti }^{4+ } }} concentration of 0.5 M from room temperature to 10$0^{\circ}C$ under 1 atmoshpere. The crystallinity and the particle shape of TiO2 ultrafine powders obtained by simple precipitation method were analyzed us-ing XRD(X-ray diffractometer). SEM(scanning electron microscopy) and TEM(transmission electron mi-croscopy) TiO2 crystalline precipitate with rutile phases is fully formed at the temperatures of up to $65^{\circ}C$ and then TiO2 crystalline precipitate with anatase phase starts to be formed above temperatures $65^{\circ}C$ showing its full formation at 10$0^{\circ}C$ These behaviors of TiO2 crystalline precipitate directly from an aqueous TiOCl2 solution would be caused due to the existence of {{{{ OMICRON ^2+ }} ions from distilled water which oxydize TiOCl2 to TiO2 not hydrolyzing it to Ti(OH)4 Here thermodynamically stable TiO2 rutile phase generally formed at higher temperature is practically precipitated at lower temperatures in this study This may be due to the precipitation by very slow reaction enough to make TiO2 particles allocated into stable rutile structure.

We have successfully synthesized $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$ (x~2) having Aurivillius-type layered perovskite structure from exfoliated layered perovskite oxide of $K_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$ with Ruddlesden-Popper structure. The reaction between the exfoliated lanthanum titanate nanosheets and BiOCl nanocrystal resulted in the formation of polycrystalline $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$ (x~2) after heating above $700^{\circ}C$. Colloidal suspension of the nanosheets could be obtained by intercalating ethylamine (EA) into the protonated lanthanum titanate, $H_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$, derived from $K_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis show that the exfoliated lanthanium titanate nanosheets have a thickness of a few nano meters. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the exfoliated lanthanium titanate was found to be transformed into $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$ (x~2) after restacking with BiOCl and subsequent thermal treatment at > $700^{\circ}C$.

The glass-ceramic of $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system was synthesized by using $ZrO_2$, $ZrSiO_4$, $ZrOCl_2$ and $Zr(SO_4)_2$, which is a raw material of Zr serving as a nucleation agent. It was confirmed that Avrami parameter of these four glasses is over 3 for bulk crystallization. The glass synthesized by $ZrOCl_2$, and $Zr(SO_4)_2$ showed high melting quality during the melting process. It is also observed that the Zr component is uniformly distributed in the glass. Various characterizations was evaluated, including composition analysis and bending strength.

Characteristics of oxidation reaction of four lanthanide chlorides(Ce, Nd, Pr and $EuCl_3$) in a oxygen-eutectic(LiCl-KCl) salt bubble column was investigated. From the results obtained from the thermochemical calculations by HSC chemistry software, the most stable lanthanide compounds in the oxygen-used rare earth chlorides system were oxychlorides(EuOCl, NdOCl, PrOCl) and oxides($CeO_2$, $PrO_2$), which coincide well with results of the Gibbs free energy of the reaction. In this study, similar to the thermochemical results, regardless of the sparging time and molten salt temperature, oxychlorides for Eu, Nd and Pr and oxides for Ce and Pr were formed as a precipitant by a reaction with oxygen. The structure of the rare earth precipitates was divided into two shapes : small cubic(oxide) and large tetragonal (oxychloride) structures. The conversion efficiencies of the lanthanide elements to their molten salt-insoluble precipitates(or compound) were increased with the sparging time and temperature, and Ce showed the best reactivity. In the conditions of $650^{\circ}C$ of the molten salt temperature and 420 min of the sparging time, the conversion efficiencies were over 99% for all the investigated lanthanide chlorides.

This study evaluated treatability of soluble Mn(II) using multifunctional sand media simultaneously coated with iron and manganese. In the preparation of IMCS(Iron and Manganese Coated Sand), 0.05 M Mn(II) solution and Fe(III) solution was mixed with sand at pH 7. The mineral type of IMCS was identified as the mixture of ${\gamma}-MnO_2$, goethite and magnetite($F_{e3}O_4$). The contents of Mn and Fe coated onto sand were 826 and 1676 mg/kg, respectively. The $pH_{pzc}$ of IMCS was measured as 6.40. The removal of soluble Mn(II) using IMCS and oxidants such as NaOCl and $KMnO_4$ was investigated with variation of the solution pH, reaction time and Mn(II) concentration in a batch test. The removal of Mn(II) on IMCS was 34% at pH 7.4 and the removals of Mn(II) on IMCS in the presence of NaOCl(13.6 mg/L) at pH 7 and $KMnO_4$(4.8 mg/L) at pH 7.6 were 96% and 89%, respectively. The removal of Mn(II) using IMCS and oxidants followed a typical cationic type, showing a gradual increase of removal as the solution pH increased. The removal of Mn(II) was rapid in the first 6 hrs and then a constant removal was observed. The maximum removed amount of Mn(II) on IMCS-alone and IMCS in the presence of oxidants such as NaOCl(13.6 mg/L) and $KMnO_4$(4.8mg/L) were 833.3, 1428.6 and 1666.7 mg/kg, respectively. Mn(II) removal onto the IMCS in the presence of oxidants was well described by second-order reaction and Langmuir isotherm expression.

Electronic working length determination is based on the electrical impedence between the root canal and the periodontal ligament Different canal irrigants with different electric conductivity may effect on the accuracy of the electronic mechanism. 0.9% Saline, 2.5% NaOCl and 3% $H_2O_2$ were evaluated either in wet or in dry condition. The results were as follows. 1. The electrical resistance mearured by Impedence Meter (Model #253, portland, USA) were 1 $K{\Omega}$ in 0.9% Saline, 0.1$K{\Omega}$ in 2.5% NaOCl and 48 $K{\Omega}$ in 3% $H_2O_2$. 2. Saline measured -0.57mm from the actual canal length and had significant difference. When dried with paper points, however, it measured -0.25mm demonstrating no statistical difference. 3. 2.5% NaOCl measured -4.07mm in wet and -2.26mm in dry condition and both showed significant difference from the actual canal length. 4. 3% $H_2O_2$ measured +0.02mm in wet and -0.09mm in dry canals and both appeared to be within acceptable range for the electronic working length mechanism.

The purpose of this study was to develop an accurate frequency-dependent type apex locator. To compensate the impedence differences of different canal contents, voltage differences were pre-measured and stored for saline, HOsb1/$2O_2$ and NaOCl. The circuit was adjusted to recognize the different voltages of each solution, thereby the machine could automatically compensate the voltage differences. In the process of this study, the following informations were observed. 1. Most stable apical reading was obtained at 500Hz and 10kHz. 2. There were no differences in accuracy among three different frequency types, sign wave, triangular wave and rectangular wave(p>0.05). 3. Before the compensation of voltage differences, saline, H2O2 and NaOCl showed different readings at the apex even with the frequency-type (p<0.05). 4. After compensating the voltage difference, the accuracy was enhanced from + 0.42 to +0.32 in H2O2(p<0.05), from -0.34 to -0.12 in NaOCl(p<0.05).
