The neurotoxin of Clostridium botulinum type B was purified from a liquid culture. The purification steps consist of ammonium sulfate precipitation of whole culture, treatment of Polymin P(0.15%, v/v), gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 at pH5.6 and DEAE-Sephadex charomatography at pH8.0. The procedure recovered 17% of the toxin assayed in the starting culture. The toxin was homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and had a molecular weight of 163,000. Subunits of 106,000 and 56,000 molecular weight were found when purified toxin was treated with a disulfide-reducing agent and electro phoresed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels.

Cayenne pepper used traditionally as hot seasoning and for antifungal agent in "Ganjang" soy sauce in Korea. However the correlation between its component and antifungal activity has been unknown. CApsaicine is known as hot component of cayenne pepper. Antifungal activity of capsaicine in 'Ganjang' soy sauce was studied and the results are as follows; 1) In 'Ganjang' soy sauce, antifungal activity of capsaicine were strong in same degree with butyl-p-hydroxybenzoate. 2) Antifungal activity of capsaicine were intensified by the addition of sodium chloride. 3) The antifungal activity of capsaicine was increased by lower pH (pH 5.5-4.5) of 'Ganjang' soy sauce.

Sludge transporting pipes in wastewater treatment plant are easy to be clogged with struvite when the digested sludge and dehydrated filtrate are transported through the pipes, which lowers the efficiency of sludge treatment system in a WWTP. pH is one of the most important factors in struvite formation, and carbon dioxide separated from biogas can be used to control pH and struvite formation. By controlling pH, the amount of dehydrating agent can be reduced by about 10%, which saves the budget for facility maintenance. As $CO_2$ is reused and dehydrating chemicals are saved, the approach can contribute to global warming gas reduction.

최근 인터넷의 사용자 증가와 함께 사용자들의 요구는 다양해지고 있다. 또한 멀티미디어컨텐츠도 사용자의 요구에 따라 점차 대용량화되고 있다. 멀티미디어 서비스 제공자는 사용자의 다양한 요구를 충족시키기 위해서 대용량 고품질의 컨텐츠를 많이 보유하고 있어야 한다. 그러나 클라이언트-서버 환경에서 대용량의 멀티미디어 컨텐츠 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 고성능의 컴퓨터가 필요하다. 게다가 컨텐츠의 양과 사용자의 수가 증가함에 따라 중앙 서버로 부하가 집중되고, 신뢰성이 떨어진다는 문제점도 있다. 본 논문에서는 중앙으로 집중되는 요청을 분산시키고 대용량의 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 저장하기 위해서 각 컴퓨터들을P2P환경으로 구축하고 이동 에이전트를 이용하여 분산된 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 검색하는 기법을 제시한다.

[ $SnO_2$ ]-doped $TiO_2$ thin films were prepared from tin (IV) bis (acetylacetonate) dichloride and titanium diisopropoxide bis (acetylacetonate) with pluronic P123 or degussa P25 as a structural-directing agent. These hydrolyzed sol were spin coated onto Si(100) wafer substrate. The microstructure, morphology and bonding states of thin films were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic activity of these films was investigated by using indigo carmine solution.

Resins were synthesized with 1-aza-15-crown-5 macrocyclic ligand attached to styrene(dangerous matter) divinylbenzene(DVB) copolymer with crosslink of 1, 2, 6 and 15% by substitution reaction. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, and IR-spectrum. The effects of pH, time and crosslink on adsorption of metal ion　from water fire extinguishing agent by the synthetic resin adsorbent were investigated. The metal ion was showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 3. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in water was in increasing order of $Mg^{2+}>Al^{3+}>Pb^{2+}$. The adsorption was in the order of 1, 2, 6, and 15% crosslink resin.

In the course of screening for novel cell cycle inhibitors and apoptotic inducers, CR389, elucidated as 5-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-1H-pyridin-2-one, was generated as a new hit compound. Flow cytometric analysis and western blots of PA-1 cells treated with $60{\mu}M$ CR389 revealed an appreciable cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase through direct inhibition of the CDK1 complex. In addition, activation of p53 via phosphorylation at Ser15 and subsequent up-regulation of p21^CIP1 showed that CR389 also induces p53-dependent-p21^CIP1-mediated cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, apoptotic induction in $60{\mu}M$ CR389-treated PA-1 cells is associated with the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria through up-regulation of the proapoptotic Bax protein, which results in the activation of procaspase-9 and -3, and the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Accordingly, CR389 seems to have multiple mechanisms of antiproliferative activity through p53-mediated pathways against human ovarian cancer cells. Therefore, we conclude that CR389 is a candidate therapeutic agent for the treatment of human ovarian cancer via the activation of p53.

Short message service (SMS) is a Popular mobile data service in cellular networks. One SMS message can carry 50 Korean alphabets. Cellular operators standard and develop multimedia message service (MMS) based on P2P as color phones having multimedia solutions such as MIDI, MP3, JPG, PNG, and MPEG have been developed. MMS can be a key cash flow in the non-voice mobile revenue together with SMS. Copyrights protection of contents in a MMS message can be issued as MMS can be the popular P2P service such as MMS. In this paper, we propose MMS DRM system to protect copyrights of contents in MMS with the minimum change of MMS system. The proposed MMS DRM system protect copyrights of contents using DRM Packager, DRM Server, and DRM Agent and support various use cases to activates MMS in mobile networks.

AMB(Acid Mine Drainage), characterized as high concentration of metal & sulfate ions and low pH(2.0~4.0), is the world-wide problem wherever there is or has been mining activities. Though limestone has been generally used to neutralize AMD, There are metal hydroxide precipitation on the surface of limestone and excessive alkalinity formation which exceeds the regulation. In this research, concrete-recycled fine aggregate is selected for alternative neutralizing agent. Because fine recycled aggregate had more ANP than others in the preliminary research, the purpose of this research is to apply fine aggregate for AMD neutralization. Three columns packed with fine aggregates(2.5mm$O_3$) of it is calculated as 0.09(C-1), approximated 10% purity of limestone. Comparing with values of other columns(C-2: 0.01 and C-3: 0.01), there is variation of porosity and residence time induced from the precipitation of metal hydroxide. Consequently, 8 hours of HRT is enough to create adequate alkalinity and the function which could expect the variation of porosity(n) and residence time( $t_{R}$) should be applied to develop design function.lied to develop design function.

2-(Allylthio)pyrazine derivatives were designed as a novel cancer chemopreventive agent that functions through selective inhibtion of cytochrome P-450 and induction of phase 11 enzymes involved in the detoxification of carcinogens. A practical preparation method of 2-(allylthio) pyrazine derivatives was established by the reaction of 2-mercaptopyrazine and allylbromides in the presence of a catalytic antioxidant, DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2] octane), in dimethyl-formamide at below $50^{\circ}C$.
