Mutants of an obligate aerobic bacterium, Vitreoscilla, that have deficiency in heat-labile catalase-peroxidase hydroperoxidase I (HPI) were created by EMS treatment. The catalase-peroxidase HPI-deficient mutant showed substantially lower peroxidase activity in exponential and mid-stationary phase compared with the wild type strain. In late stationary phase, the mutant exhibited no peroxidase activity. Peroxidase deficiency in the mutant was revealed by polyacrylamide gels stained for peroxidase activity. Characteristically, catalase levels in the mutant increased about 14- and 8-fold during growth in the exponential and stationary phases, respectively, compared to those in the wild type, suggesting a compensatory effect for protection from $H_2O_2$ toxicity. The mutant showed differences in physiology from the wild type: retardation in growth rate and decrease in oxygen consumption. Both the wild type and the catalase-peroxidase HPI-deficient mutant of Vitreoscilla had lower growth rates in media containing increasing $H_2O_2$ concentrations. However, the mutant exhibited an additionally decreased growth rate after 6 to 8 h of growth compared to the wild type. The wild type was resistent up to 20 mM $H_2O_2$, whereas the mutant was very sensitive to high concentrations of exogenous $H_2O_2$. Although elevated catalase levels would provide protection of the bacteria from the deleterious effect of $H_2O_2$, it did not appear to be complete. Cell-free extracts of the mutant showed decreased NADH oxidation rates and higher accumulation of $H_2O_2$ during this oxidation. These results may account for the impaired growth and earlier onset of death phase by the catalase-peroxidase HPI-deficient mutant of Vitreoscilla.

The effect of oxygen-deficiency on the charge distributions and orbital energies for small copper oxide clusters representing the superconducting materials $YBa_2Cu_3O_x (6{\leq}x{\leq}7)$ were investigated by the extended Huckel molecular orbital (EHMO) method with the tight-binding model. Our calculations show +3 oxidation state of Cu(1) in the $CuO_3$ chain and +2 or +1 of Cu(2) in the $CuO_2$ layers for $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ with the nominal charge of $Cu_3$ = +7 (or +5), while for $YBa_2Cu_3O_6$ +1 oxidation state of Cu(1) and +3 (or +2) of Cu(2) in the $CuO_2$ layers with the nominal charge of $Cu_3$ = +7 (or +5). For $Cu_3O_{12}$ cluster representing $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ with the nominal charge of $Cu_3$ = +7 the Cu(2) $d_{{x^2}-{y^2}}$ orbitals in the $CuO_2$ layers is a typical Jahn-Teller $d^9$ system with the partial hole and the Cu(1) $d_{{_z2}-{_y2}}$ orbital in the $CuO_3$ chain contains hole occupancy. For $Cu_3O_{10}$ cluster representing $YBa_2Cu_3O_6$ with the nominal charge of Cu = +5 the orbital character of the highest partially occupied MO (HPOMO) and the lowest completely unoccupied MO (LCUMO) of $Cu_3O_{12}$ representing $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ with the nominal charge of $Cu_3$ = +7 is reversed, and the character of Cu(1) $d{{x^2}-{y^2}}$ orbital of LCUMO of the $Cu_3O_{12} $cluster is vanished. It is suggested that the local crystal field environment of Cu(1) by the oxygens in the Cu(1) chain may play a vital role in conductivity and superconductivity, either alone or through cooperative electronic coupling with the Cu(2) layers in $YBa_2Cu_3O_7.$.

Objectives: 'Confined space' was only defined in the Safety and Health Regulations as a place where oxygen deficiency and hydrogen sulfide must be dealt with at the time of the initial enactment (1982). The danger of fire and explosion were added in 2003. We will compare and review the regulations related to confined space work under the current safety and health rules alongside regulations in other countries and prepare a plan to improve the system through enhanced clarity and execution. Methods: In a comparison of systems for the prevention of suffocation in confined spaces in major countries (Germany, United States, Japan) different concepts of the definition of confined spaces in different countries apparently due to differences in each country's legal implementation system, accident analysis methods, the status of safety and health implementation in workplaces, the precautions against actual confined space work, and the definition of confined spaces were found to be not much different between Korea and the other foreign countries. Results: In the case of Germany and the United States, a confined space is defined as a contextual concept rather than a place, so more careful attention is needed from operators or enclosed space managers as it is often necessary to judge the actual workplace. In the case of Korea and Japan, the interior of the place is mainly defined as a place, especially in the case of Japan, which concentrates on oxygen deficiency and hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Conclusions: For measures to improve regulations on the prevention of suffocation accidents in Korea, I would like to propose three major measures to improve the system in the rules on domestic industrial safety and health standards. It is necessary to prepare and provide a guide to ensure that the 18 types of confined spaces currently defined as confined spaces are clearly understood by field management supervisors or workers.

GNP(Glycine Nitrate Process)을 이용하여$(La_{0.75}Sr_{0.25})_{1-x}FeO_{3-\delta}$를 합성하고, perovskite의 A-site deficiency에 따른 특성을 분석하기 위해 x=0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08로 바꾸어 합성하였다. SEM과 XRD분석을 통하여 균질하고 결정성이 높은 분말이 합성된것을 확인하였으며, 4단자법과 AC impedance spectroscopy를 통하여 전도도는 x = 0.02가 $750^{\circ}C$ $155{\Omega}cm^2$로 가장 우수하였으며, AC impedance결과 역시 x = 0.02가 가장 낮은 분극저항과 활성화 에너지를 가지고 있었다. 이 결과 Perovskite의 A-site deficiency를 가함에 따라 산소 결핍 및 구조의 변화가 생겼으며 이로 인해 전도도와 분극 저항, 활성화 에너지에 영향을 미친 것을 알 수 있었다.

졸-겔(sol-gel) 방법을 이용하여 제작된 산소결핍(oxygen vacancy)들을 내포하는 Ni 도핑된 루타일(rutile) 구조의 $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ 박막들에 대하여 그 자기적 성질 및 관련된 전자구조적 성질에 대하여 조사분석 하였다. $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$:Ni 박막들에서 상온 강자성이 관측되었으며 Ni 도핑량이 증가할수록 포화 자화량($M_s$)이 점차 감소하여 6 at% 이상에서 일정한 값으로 유지되었다. 이와 같은 Ni 도핑량 6 at% 이하에서의 강자성 현상은 산소결핍 자리에 속박된 전자를 매개로 그 주위에 존재하는 불순물 이온들의 자기 능률들이 강자성 정렬을 이루게 되는 자기 폴라론(magnetic polaron)의 형성에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 소량의 Ni 도핑 시 각 이온당 최대 $3.7{\mu}_B/Ni$의 큰 $M_s$ 값이 나타났으며 6 at% 이상에서의 일정한 $M_s$ 값은 Ni cluster 형성에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 이와 같은 Ni cluster의 존재는 시료들에 대한 Hall 측정 결과 나타난 Ni 도핑량 증가에 따르는 p-n 전도성 전이를 설명하여 줄 수 있다.

부산수산대학 어류양식연구실 순환여과식장치내에서 1985년 8월 28일부터 9월 17일까지 DO농도에 대한 이스라엘계 잉어의 성장효과를 알아보기 위한 실험이 수행되었다. 순환여과사육장치중의 5개 탱크를 이용하여 동일조건하에서 DO농도 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 및 4.0mg/l로 구분하여 실험했고 실험어는 평균 300g으로 각 탱크에 200kg씩 방양 사육한 결과는 다음과 같았다. DO 3.5mg/l 구에서 사료계수 1.57, 일일성장율 $1.411\%$로서 가장 좋은 성장결과를 얻었으며 DO 4.0mg/l 구에서는 사료계수 1.63, 일일성장률 $1.365\%$를 나타냈다. 그리고 사료섭취량은 이 두 실험구에서 거의 같았으며 DO 3.0mg/l 농도이하에서는 성장율과 사료섭취량이 현격히 감소했다. 실험기간동안 2.0mg/l와 2.5mg/l 농도에서는 사료섭취가 활발하지 않았으며 사료를 먹고난 후 대부분이 주수구에 몰려 산소부족현상을 나타냈고, 4.0mg/l 구에서는 5미가 columnaris 병에 의한 아가미 부식병으르 폐사했다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 순환여과식장치내에서 평균수온 $27.5^{\circ}C$에서 DO 3.5mg/l와 4.0mg/l에서 거의 같은 좋은 성장률과 사료효율을 나타냈으므로 DO 3.5mg/l 이상만 유지시키면 에너지 효율면에서 경제적이 된다고 사료되고, 4.0mg/l 또는 그 이상에서는 energy의 낭비를 초래하고, 또한 부작용이 나타날 가능성이 있지만 이에 대해서는 더욱 연구해 볼 필요가 있다.

A 4 nm layer of ZrOx (targeted x-2) was deposited on an interfacial layer(IL) of native oxide (SiO, t∼1.2 nm) surface on 200 mm Si wafers by a manufacturable atomic layer chemical vapor deposition technique at 30$0^{\circ}C$. Some as-deposited layers were subjected to a post-deposition, rapid thermal annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 5 min in flowing oxygen at atmospheric pressure. The experimental x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution parallel electron energy loss spectroscopy results showed that a multiphase and heterogeneous structure evolved, which we call the Zr-O/IL/Si stack. The as-deposited Zr-O layer was amorphous $ZrO_2$-rich Zr silicate containing about 15% by volume of embedded $ZrO_2$ nanocrystals, which transformed to a glass nanoceramic (with over 90% by volume of predominantly tetragonal-$ZrO_2$(t-$ZrO_2$) and monoclinic-$ZrO_2$(m-$ZrO_2$) nanocrystals) upon annealing. The formation of disordered amorphous regions within some of the nanocrystals, as well as crystalline regions with defects, probably gave rise to lattice strains and deformations. The interfacial layer (IL) was partitioned into an upper Si $o_2$-rich Zr silicate and the lower $SiO_{x}$. The latter was sub-toichiometric and the average oxidation state increased from Si0.86$^{＋}$ in $SiO_{0.43}$ (as-deposited) to Si1.32$^{＋}$ in $SiO_{0.66}$ (annealed). This high oxygen deficiency in $SiO_{x}$ indicative of the low mobility of oxidizing specie in the Zr-O layer. The stacks were characterized for their dielectric properties in the Pt/{Zr-O/IL}/Si metal oxide-semiconductor capacitor(MOSCAP) configuration. The measured equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) was not consistent with the calculated EOT using a bilayer model of $ZrO_2$ and $SiO_2$, and the capacitance in accumulation (and therefore, EOT and kZr-O) was frequency dispersive, trends well documented in literature. This behavior is qualitatively explained in terms of the multi-layer nanostructure and nanochemistry that evolves.ves.ves.

To understand the defect chemistry of multiferroic $BiFeO_3-based$ systems, we synthesized nonstoichiometric $Bi_{1+x}FeO_{3{\pm}{\delta}}$ ceramics by conventional solid-state reaction method and studied their structural, dielectric and high-temperature charge transport properties. Incorporation of an excess amount of $Bi_2O_3$ lowered the Bi deficiency in $BiFeO_3$. Polarization versus electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop and dielectric properties were found to be improved by the $Bi_2O_3$ addition. To better understand the defect effects on the multiferroic properties, the high temperature equilibrium electrical conductivity was measured under various oxygen partial pressures ($pO_2{^{\prime}}s$). The charge transport behavior was also examined through thermopower measurement. It was found that the oxygen vacancies contribute to high ionic conduction, showing $pO_2$ independency, and the electronic carrier is electron (n-type) in air and Ar gas atmospheres.

The Y2O3 films on Si(111) was grown by ionized cluster beam depposition (ICBD) in ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV). The acceleration voltage and oxygen ppartial ppressure were fixed at 5 kV and 2$\times$10-5 Torr resppectively. The substrate tempperature was varied from 10$0^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ in order to find the deppendence of crystallinity of Y2O3 films on the substrate tempperature. The crystallinity of the films with the substrate tempperature studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rutherford backscattering sppectroscoppy (RES). Surface crystallinity and surface morpphology of the films were also investigated using the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscoppe (AFM) resppectively. The films grown at the substrate tempperature below 50$0^{\circ}C$showed the ppoly-crystalline structure of oxygen deficiency. On the contrary the single-crystalline structure was obtained at the substrate tempperature over 50$0^{\circ}C$ and the stochimetry was gradually matched as increasing the substrate tempperature. The surface morpphology showed the increase of the surface roughness as the substrate tempperature was increased upp to 50$0^{\circ}C$ The crystallinity of the film was not good and the minimum channeling yield $\chi$min was measured at 0.91 The stochiometric and high crystallinine film (surface $\chi$min=0.25) was obtained as the substrate tempperature increased upp to 60 $0^{\circ}C$ which indicate the tempperature was sufficient to migrate the depposited atom.

Objectives : Angelicae gigas, A. sinensis and A. acutiloba are three types of plants used as Angelicae Radix (Dang-Gui). Many doctors of Korean medicine want to know the difference in clinical use of these three species. This study aimed to compare the hemoglobin-related activity of the extracts of Angelicae gigas, A. sinensis and A. acutiloba roots by measuring the intensity of binding oxygen to hemoglobin using Raman spectroscopy. Methods : Hemoglobin activity was measured by chemical analysis and Raman spectroscopy to compare the pharmaceutical efficacy of three Angelica root extracts. The oxygenated hemoglobin intensity, blood decursinol and acetylcholinestrase(AChE) concentration in mice were measured. In addition, the effects of three Angelica root extracts on oxygenated hemoglobin intensity, decursinol and AChE concentration in red blood cells (RBC) from human were also investigated. Results : The contents of decursin, decursinol and decursinol angelate, which affected physiological activity and RBC properties, were higher in the extract of A. gigas root than in those of A. sinensis and A. acutiloba roots. Moreover, oxygenated hemoglobin intensity in the A. gigas extract was higher than that of other two species in the blood of mice and human RBCs. Also, the blood decursinol and AChE concentrations of A. gigas root extract were higher than that of A. sinensis and A. acutiloba roots. Conclusions : These results suggest that A. gigas is more effective in treating disease related oxygen deficiency in RBC deformation under oxidative stress.
