In this paper, theS $r_2$(T $a_{1-x}$ , N $b_{x}$)$_2$ $O_{7}$(STNO) films among ferroelectric materials having a low dielectric constant for metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor(MFS-FET) were discussed. The STNO thin films were deposited on p-type Si(100) at room temperature by co-sputtering with S $r_2$N $b_2$ $O_{7(SNO)}$ ceramic target and T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ ceramic target. The composition of STNO thin films was varied by adjusting the power ratios of SNO target and T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ target. The STNO films were annealed at 8$50^{\circ}C$, 90$0^{\circ}C$ and 9$50^{\circ}C$ temperature in oxygen ambient for 1 hour. The value of x has significantly influenced the structure and electrical properties of the STNO films. In the case of x= 0.4, the crystallinity of the STNO films annealed at 9$50^{\circ}C$ was observed well and the memory windows of the Pt/STNO/Si structure were 0.5-8.3 V at applied voltage of 3-9 V and leakage current density was 7.9$\times$10$_{08}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at applied voltage of -5V.of -5V.V.V.

Tofisopam is a new type of tranquilizer valuable for the relief of anxiety and tension in a wide range of emotional disorders. Tofisopam has the therapeutic characteristics of a minor tranquilzer and a mild stimulatory effect. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of two tofisopam tablets, $Grandaxin^{TM}$ (Hwan In Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) and $Tofim^{TM}$ (Kyung Dong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), according to the guidelines of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Eighteen normal male volunteers, $23.11\;{\pm}\;2.83$ years in age and $65.43\;{\pm}\;7.64\;kg$ in body weight, were divided into two groups and a randomized $2{\times}2$ cross-over study was employed. After one tablet containing 50 mg of tofisopam was orally administered, blood was taken at predetermined time intervals and the concentrations of tofisopam in serum were determined using HPLC method with UV detector. The pharmacokinetic parameters such as $AUC_t$, $C_{max}\;and\;T_{max}$ were calculated and ANOVA test was utilized for the statistical analysis of the parameters. The results showed that the differences in $AUC_t$, C_{max}\;and\;T_{max}$ between two tablets based on the $Grandaxin^{TM}$ were -5.59%, 2.22% and -13.18%, respectively. Minimum detectable differences $({\Delta})$ at ${\alpha}=0.10$ and $1-{\beta}=0.8$ were less than 20% (e.g., 14.95% and 19.34% for $AUC_t\;and\;C_{max}$, respectively). The powers $(1-{\beta})$ at ${\alpha}=0.10$, ${\Delta}=0.2$ for $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$ were 95.21% and 81.93%, respectively. The 90% confidence intervals were within {\pm}20%$ (e.g., $-15.64{\sim}4.45$ and $-10.77{\sim}15.21$ for $AUC_t\;and\;C_{max}$, respectively). Two parameters met the criteria of KFDA for bioequivalence, indicating that $Tofim^{TM}$ tablet is bioequivalent to $Grandaxin^{TM}$ tablet.

The purpose of this study was to develop a separation method of Zn(II), Cu(II) and Mg(II), by ion exchange chromatography using cation exchange resion (Dowex 50w${\times}$8, 80-100 mesh) and anion exchange (Amberlite IRA-400). Ion exchange resions were packed into 25 ${\times}$ 2cm ID column and flow rate was controlled to 0.30 ml/min. Good eluents for separation of nonferrous metal ions such as Zn(II), Cu(II), Mg(II) were as follow: 0.5M $NaNO_3$ (pH 3.1), 0.2~0.5M HCl + 50~60% Acetone, and 1M HAc + 0.1M NaAcf(pH 3.7) aqueous solution. The mixed solution of 0.1M NaAc(pH 3.7), 0.5M HCl + 50% Acetone were found to be the best eluent for step elution. Analysis of metals were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In addition, separated Zn(II) fraction was obtained by eluted with 0.12N HCl and 1.5N $NH_4OH$ aqueous solution. This solution was titrated by the E. D. T. A.

The short-term acute toxicities of mercury, cadmium and copper for the clam, Meretrix lusoria were determined from 28 June to 15 July, 1978. In the test with mercury and copper, the rate ot mucus excretion increased gradually at a higher concentration. But the clams did not excrete mucus in the solutions of cadmium and natural sea water. The rate of mucus excretion in mercury was $42.9\%$, and that in copper was $14.3\%$ in a test solution of 1mg/l. mercury was more toxic than copper. The median lethal concentration after 96 hours (96 hr-Lc 50) was 0.67mg/l in mercury, 7.04mg/l in copper and 7.10mg/l in cadmium. Consequently it was found that mercury was the most toxic substance and cadmium was the least. meanwhile, it was considered that exposure time by stimulation in a fixed concentration caused the test animals to respond.

A herbivorous copepod, Tigriopus japonicus, was tested to study its acute and chronic responses to Cd tonicity. Under $20^{\circ}C,\;96hr-LC_{50}$ of T. japonicus in medium with $32\%_{\circ},\;26\%_{\circ},\;and\;18\%_{\circ}$ salinity were 11.1 ppm, 13.7 ppm, and 9.7 ppm, respectively. The $96hr-LC_{50}$ in medium with $32\%_{\circ},\;26\%_{\circ},\;and\;18\%_{\circ}$ salinity increased to 21.6 ppm, 15.0 ppm, and 11,0 ppm, respectively under $10^{\circ}C$ condition. Oxygen consumption rates during 96hrs exposure to Cd toxicity decreased more sharply at $20^{\circ}C$ than those at $10^{\circ}C$. Survival rate and $250dys-LC_{50}$ of T. japonicus in medium with $32\%_{\circ}$ salinity, in concentration of Cd 4 ppm were $5\%$ and 0.05 ppm, respectively under $10^{\circ}C$, and $0\%$ and 0.20 ppm under $20^{\circ}C$. It was that the copepod selectively feed on Skeletonema costatum, Nitzschia pungens, N. seriata, and Rhizosolenia hebetata f. semispina.

This study suggested suitable soil textures that is proper to propagate native plants to manage and restore barren land in DMZ. Germination tests were conducted for 16 native herbaceous plants growing in the DMZ border area in accordance with FAO-BI (Biodiversity International) standards, and the germination rate and T₅₀ in vitro were investigated. In order to examine the germination characteristics according to the soil textures, we used gravel, bed and mixed soil and investigated the germination characteristics under ordinary room temperature conditions in the greenhouse. As a result, it was observed that the germination rate in the greenhouse was significantly decreased compared to the germination rate in vitro of the species advertised due to soil textures. T₅₀ between the in vitro and each soil texture showed significant differences whereas T₅₀ between soil textures alone did not in all species advertised. The germination rate in vitro of Aster koraiensis, Dendranthema zawadskii var. latilobum, Hosta clausa, and Hosta minor there was no significant difference compared to ordinary room temperature conditions. In addition, as the germination rate is demonstrated more than 70%, which is relatively higher than other species advertised, it is considered to have strong environmentally adaptable. On the other hand, considering that the 6 species of Leontopodium coreanum, Plantago major, Potentilla chinensis, Sedum kamtschaticum, Sedum latiovalifolium, and Veronica kiusiana demonstrated less than 50% of germination rate in vitro, it is expected to be difficult to propagate without pre-treatment. In order to use these 6 species as restoration material plants, it needs to be considered to pre-treat to improve germination rate, or to enhance the vitality of seeds by improving the seed gathering period and storage method.

In response of fungicides for control of gray snow mold, isolates of Typhula incarnata were collected from three golf courses in 2012 Yongpyeong, Korea and tested for sensitivity to propiconazole, tebuconazole and azoxystrobin fungicides. Four discriminatory concentrations were used to detect in vitro sensitivity of 50 isolates. Mean 50% effective concentration inhibiting mycelial growth ($EC_{50}$) values for tebuconazole was the lowest among the three fungicides. The $EC_{50}$ value of tebuconazole ranged from 0.0005 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$ to 0.014 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$ with a mean of 0.0048 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$. The mean $EC_{50}$ values of propiconazole in triazole family was 0.5825 (0.78-1.651) ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$. $EC_{50}$ value of azoxystrobin ranged from 0.0017 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$ to 0.131 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$ with a mean of 0.0278 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$. There was no correlation among $EC_{50}$ values for propiconazole, azoxystrobin and tebuconazole indicating no cross-resistance relationships with each other. Results of this study were confirmed no resistance isolates in vitro sensitivity of T. incarnata of three fungicides in Yongpyeong.

The present study was conducted to observe the effect of increased osmolality of basic tris extender supplemented with trehalose and sucrose on post-thawing quality (motility, progressive motility, viability, the rate of acrosome abnormality, total abnormality and membrane integrity) of Markhoz goat spermatozoa. Fresh semen samples were evaluated for motility and sperm concentration. Only semen samples with motility more than 70% and sperm concentration higher than $3{\times}10^{9}$ sperm/ml were used for cryopreservation. In Exp. 1, trehalose (50, 75 or 100 mM) and sucrose (40, 60 or 80 mM) were added to a basic tris diluent. Based on the results of experiment 1, the goal of Exp. 2 was to investigate the combinational effects of the highest and lowest concentrations ($T_{100}+S_{80}$ or $T_{50}+S_{40}$) of trehalose and sucrose. As the control, semen was diluted and frozen in the tris diluent without trehalose or sucrose. The results in Exp. 1 showed that all evaluated spermatozoa characteristics improved significantly after freezing and thawing (p<0.05) and at the same time the increase of trehalose and sucrose concentrations in basic extenders was seen, with the best results obtained for extenders containing 70 and 100 mM trehalose and 80 mM sucrose. Comparing these results with those of control diluents, the effects of supplementation were significantly (p<0.05) better. In Exp. 2, the results showed no significant differences (p>0.05) between $T_{100}+S_{80}$ and $T_{50}+S_{40}$ extenders, but the results of $T_{50}+S_{40}$were slightly better than obtained with $T_{100}+S_{80}$ diluents. Furthermore, the results of this experiment indicated that the sperm characteristics in the isotonic control extender were significantly (p<0.05) lower than examined extenders. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that goat sperm can tolerate hypertonic trehalose and sucrose solutions better than isotonic control diluents in the freezing period. In particular, these positive effects have been shown for acrosome integrity, which is very important for the fertilization capacity of sperm. The data indicated that addition of trehalose plus sucrose to the freezing extender can be recommended for cryopreservation of goat spermatozoa, but more data is needed on pregnancy rate, acrosome reaction and IVF to ascertain the real effect.
