Fluoroalkyl methacrylate and acrylic acid were bulk radical copolymerized in the presence of pure sodium montmorillonite or macromer intercalated sodium montmorilonite to get a fluorinated acrylic ionomer/sodium montmorillonite composite, and their physical properties, such as X-ray diffraction pattern, tensile properties, and water uptake, were examined. These composites were used to preparean ionic acrylic polymer-platinum composite (IPMC). The current and deformation responses of these IPMCs by external voltage applied across the platinum electrodes deposited on both sides of IPMC showed that the cation migration from anode to cathode was suppressed in the presence of sodium montmorillonite, causing reduced current and deformation.

In this study, the optimum analytical condition of Differential pulse Voltammetry for the polymeric Sodium Alginate was studied and its reduction funtional groups were confirmed using Cyclic Vol-tammetry and IR spectroscopy. Optimum conditions were as followed; mercury drop size : medium size, accumulation time : 60sec, accumulation potential : -0.20V vs Ag/AgCl, scan rate : 100mV/sec, supporting electrolyte : 0.10M $NaClO_4$(pH 6.8). After polymeric Sodium Alginate was hydrolized at $100^{\circ}C$ in acidic condition, the current peaks of oligomer were compared with current peak of polymeric Sodium Alginate. In this optimum condition, calibration curve of polymer Sodium Alginate showed good linearity from 0.50ppm to 4.0ppm where as oligomeric Sodium Alginate showed good linearity from 0.05ppm to 0.24ppm.

In this study, we have examined pyrethroid actions on sodium channels in the pest insect Heliothis virescens. The synthetic pyrethroid permethrin increased steady-state sodium current in H. virescens central neurons and prolonged tail currents (I_Na-tail) due to extreme slowing of sodium channel deactivation. Prolongation of I_Na-tail was evident at permethrin concentrations as low as 60 nM, which modified ~1.7% of sodium channels and 10 μM permethrin modified about 30% of channels. The average time constant (τ₁) of tail current decay was ~335 ms for permethrin-modified channels. These modified channels activated at more negative potentials and showed slower activation kinetics, and failed to inactivate. Permethrin modification of sodium channels was dramatically potentiated by the α scorpion toxin LqhαIT, showing positive cooperativity between two binding sites. The amplitude of the tail current induced by 0.3 μM permethrin was enhanced ~8-fold by LqhαIT (200 pM). Positive cooperativity was also observed between permethrin and the insect-specific scorpion toxin AaIT as 10 nM permethrin potentiated the shift of voltage dependence caused by AaIT (~2-fold).

$Cu_2ZnSn(S,Se)_4$ (CZTSSe) films were prepared on Mo coated soda lime glass substrates by sulfo-selenization of sputtered stacked Zn-Sn-Cu(CZT) precursor films. The precursor was dried in a capped state with aqueous NaOH solution. The CZT precursor films were sulfo-selenized in the S + Se vapor atmosphere. Sodium was doped during the sulfo-selenization treatment. The effect of sodium doping on the structural and electrical properties of the CZTSSe thin films were studied using FE-SEM(field-emission scanning electron microscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction), XRF(X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy), dark current, SIMS(secondary ion mass spectrometry), conversion efficiency. The XRD, XRF, FE-SEM, Dark current, SIMS and cell efficiency results indicated that the properties of sulfo-selenized CZTSSe thin films were strongly related to the sodium doping. Further detailed analysis and discussion for effect of sodium doping on the properties CZTSSe thin films will be discussed.

There have been many studies indicating increased salt intake is related to elevated blood pressure (BP). Hypertension and pre-hypertension are prevalent in Korea. A national survey showed that the Korean average daily salt consumption was 12.5g, which is more than twice the current recommendation in the UK or USA. This study was performed to understand which aspects of the Korean diet contributed to high salt intake and elevated BP in Korea. The subjects consisted of 1,110 Korean adult men aged 30 to 49 years who were selected from the data of 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, a nationwide cross sectional survey. The relationship of BP with sodium and high sodium food intakes were analyzed. After categorizing subjects according to their BP, the socio-demographic information and food and nutrients intakes were analyzed. BP increased with a larger amounts of sodium intake and the trend was significant with diastolic BP. However, the trends of BP for sodium densities of the diet were not. People with hypertension significantly tended to be older, larger, and less educated than people with normal BP. And they consumed more foods from the fats, oils & sweets group and larger amounts of discretionary sodium than normal people. The current report advocates that public health intervention, which improves the awareness of the role of salt on elevated blood pressure for the public, should be implemented in Korea.

On the electrolytic preparation of sodium chlorate, lead dioxide anode, instead of graphite was tested to find out the characteristics for current efficiency and life in various conditions. The results obtained are summerized as follows; 1. The current efficiency is slightly increased with the anode current density, until 25A/$dm^2$ 2. The higher the current concentrations. the lower current efficiencies are observed, particularly in case of both not-adding the potassium dichromate and large current concentration of more than 50A/l 3. The current efficiency may be improved linearly as the both temperature is raised.

Hardness and internal stress are very important in nickel electroforming. Nickel sulfamate bath has been widely used in electroforming because of its low internal stress and moderate hardness. Nickel sulfamate bath without chloride was chosen to investigated the effect of plating variable such as temperature, PH, current density and sodium naphthalene trisulfonate as addition agent on the hardness and internal stress. It was found that hardness increased with increasing temperature and decreasing current density and ranged from 150∼310 DPH. The hardness was highest at $55^{\circ}C$ and 10∼40 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The internal stress increased with increasing current density and decreasing temperature. It was minimum at PH 3.0∼3.8. Low internal stress within $\pm$1,500 psi was obtained at both $50^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ in 10-20 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The addition of sodium naphthalene trisulfonate was found to be effective in refine columnar grains thus resulted in decreasing internal stress, increasing hardness and improving brightness.

Manganese in the Anode slime and the paste-positive material of waste-dry cell was recovered by leaching with the hydrochloric acid solution. The impurities (Zn, Fe, Pb), co-leached with manganese were removed from the leached solution prior to electrolysis by hydrometallurgical techniques such as the neutralization with ammonium hydroxide and cementation on manganese powder. The electrodeposition of manganese from the purified chloride solution with sodium selenate was performed. Cathode current efficiency was found to be affected significantly by the concentration of sodium selenate and ammonium chloride salt, bath temperate, current density and PH. The current efficiency of about 88.7% was obtained by electrolysis manganese chloride solution with sodium selenate (0.1/g) at 10$^{\circ}C$.

In an attempt to examine the effect of ginseng on sodium transport across the biological membrane, we have studied effects of ginseng alcohol extract on the short-circuit current(SCC) and the $Na^+-K^+$-activated ATPase activity in isolated frog skin preparations. 1. Ginseng alcohol extract applied to the mucosal surface of the frog skin significantly increased SCC at low concentration($1{\sim}10mg%$) but decreased SCC at higher concentration($50{\sim}250mg%$). 2. Similarly, when the drug was added to the serosal bathing medium, the SCC was stimulated at low doses($5{\sim}25mg%$) and inhibibited at high doses($50{\sim}250mg%$). 3. $Na^+-K^+$-activated ATPase activity of the frog skin epidermal homogenate was significantly inhibited by ginseng alcohol extract, the effect being proportional to the concentration of the drug in the incubation mixture. These results may suggest that a low dose of ginseng alcohol extrat enhances the transepithelial sodium transport probably by increasing the permeability of outer membrane of the transporting cell to sodium ion, whereas a high dose of drug reduces the sodium transport primarly by inhibiting $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase mediated active transport step.
