High voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) technology is a non-thermal technique which is applicable to extract useful components froms biological materials. This research suggested the possibility for extracting carotenoid pigments from Phaffia rhodozyma by PEF treatments. The yeast cell suspensions were treated with high voltage pulses in a recycled PEF treatment chamber which consists a pair of thin plates of stainless steel adhering to a small chamber with approximately $1{\sim}4\;mm$ gap. A 2.5 log reduction in survivability and more than 98% of electropermeabilization of the yeast cells could be achieved by PEF treatment for $300\;{\mu}s$ with an electric field of 30 kV/cm and pulse duration of $1\;{\mu}s$. When the yeast cell suspended in 0.01% NaCl solution were treated with PEF under various conditions, carotenoid pigments were not extracted. However, the PEF treatment of the yeast cell suspensions in 0.01% $CaCl_2$ solution, have positive effects on the extraction of carotenoid pigments ($27.3\;{\mu}g/g$ of dried yeast).

Various physicochemical parameters for the active ingredients of 245 herbicides were calculated to develope a diagnosis and estimation system for utility as herbicide. The range of physico-chemical parameters for each inhibitors of photo system II (H1), acetolactate synthase (ALS) (H2) and herbicides were confirmed. The distribution ranges of 85% dependence for each physicochemical parameters were Obs.logP :$-0.90\sim4.50$, dipol moment: $1.80\sim12.22$ (debye), molecular refractivity: $53.0\sim104.0(cm^3/mol)$, polarizability: $19.0\sim37.0(\AA^3)$, HOMO energy: $-9.98\sim-7.34$ (eV), LUMO energy:$-2.76\sim0.40$ (eV), Van der Waals molecular volumes: $558.0\sim995.0(cm^3)$, molecular weight: $202.0\sim430.0$ (amu) and surface areas (Grids): $194.0\sim356.0(\AA^2)$, hydration energy: $-10.16\sim114.7$ Kcal/mol, respectively. It is suggested that MR and polarizability constants will be able to distinguish between herbicides and medicinal drugs. Results revealed that various compounds based on the range of physicochemical parameters of herbicides could be diagnosed and estimated.

In this study, 20 kinds of raspberries and blackberries, cultivated or wild in Korea, were collected. Weight, moisture content, sugar content, sugar composition, pH, titratable acidity and acid composition of the fruits were determined. Weight of each of the fruits and moisture contents in the fruits were $0.9{\sim}7.8g$ and $26{\sim}62%$, respectively. The sugar contents in the fruit juices were $6.9{\sim}16.9%$ (Brix). The major sugars in the fruits were glucose ($40.7{\sim}84.0%$ (w/w) of the total sugars) and fructose ($6.5{\sim}57.5%$). Sucrose and xylose were also detected in a small quantity. pH and titratable acidity of the berry juices were $2.8{\sim}3.9%$ (w/v, citric acid) and $0.6{\sim}2.9%$, respectively. The major organic acids were citric acid ($14.6{\sim}87.5%$ (w/w) of the total acids) and malic acid ($9.6{\sim}87.1%$). Succinic, tartaric and oxalic acids were also detected in a small amount.

An/n-GaAs(100) Schottky barrier diode has been investigated by using electoreflectance(ER). From the observed Franz-Keldysh oscillatins(FKO), the internal electric field(Ei) of the sample is $5.76\times 10^{4}$V/cm at 300 K. As the modulation voltage($V_{ac}$) IS changed, the line shape of ER signal does not change but its amplitude various linerly. For increasing forward and reverse dc bias boltage($V_{bias}$), the amplitude of ER signal decreases. The internal electric field decreased from $19.3\times 10^4\sim4.39\times10^4$V/cm as $V_{bias}$ INCREASES FROM -5.0 V TO 0.6 V. For Au/n-GaAs the valve of built-in voltage($V_{bi}$) determined from the plot of $V_{bias}$ versus $E_i^2$ is 0.70 V. This value agrees with that observed in the plot of $V_{bias}$ versus amplitude of FKO peak. In addition, the carrier concentraion(N) and potential barrier($\Phi$) of the sample at 300 K are found to be about $2.4\times 10^{16}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$ and 0.78 eV, respectively.

The optimum conditions of electric stimulation for electrofusion of protoplasts of petunia, carrot and soybean, and the effects of calcium, magnesium, protease, trypsin, triton X-100, concanavalin A, dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), glycerol monooleate and spermine on fusion frequency and/or viability of petunia protoplast were investigated. The optimum frequencies(Hz)-amplitudes(V/cm) of AC Pulse for protoplast pearl-chain formation were 10 kHz-20 V/cm and 1 MHz-60 V/cm for petunia, 100 kHz-40 V/cm and $1\;MHz-40{\sim}60\;V/cm$ for carrot, and $1\;MHz-40{\sim}80\;V/cm$ for soybean, respectively. The optimum condition of DC pulse treatment at the 1 MHz-60 V/cm-15sec treatment of AC for electrofusion of petunia protoplasts was 2.5 kV/cm-40 sec, and under this condition the fusion frequency and viability of protoplasts were 45 % and 10 %, respectively, Both of the protoplasts of carrot and soybean were not fused under the AC and DC conditions tested in this experiment. The electrofusion of petunia protoplasts was stimulated by calcium, and the fusion frequency and the viability of the protoplasts were 43 % and 11 % , respectively at the calcium concentration of 140 mM. Although fusion frequency was not affected by magnesium only, magnesium stimulated fusion frequency in the presence of calcium, and the viability and fusion frequency of petunia protoplasts were 45 % and 13 %, respectively, at 140 mM of magnesium-140 mM of calcium. The relative fusion frequencies of petunia protoplasts to the controls were increased by 2.4, 2.1, 1.6, 1.4, 1.8, 1.5 and 2.2 folds, respectively, by the treatments of protease, trypsin, triton X-100, concanavalin A, DMSO, glycerol monooleate, and spermine. The viabilities of petunia protoplasts were decreased by these substances.

This study was conducted to develop more convenient simultaneous determination method by matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) and HPLC for sulfonamides such as sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfamethazine (SMT), sulfamonomethoxine (SMM), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfaquinoxaline (SQX), and tetracyclines including oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC) chlortetracycline (CTC) in prok and flatfish. The limits of detection were 0.047 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ for OTC, TC, SMR, SMT and SMM, and 0.033 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ for CTC, SDM, and SQX, respectively. So it is sufficiently possible to detect the eight tetracyclines and sulfonamides under their MRLs ($0.1{\sim}0.2mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$). The average percentage recoveries of sulfonamides and tetracyclines from pig muscle and flatfish spiked standard solution were approximately $80.25{\sim}101.25%$ and $85.77{\sim}121.42%$, respectively. Therefore this method was efficient for simultaneous analysis of eight tetracyclines and sulfonamides.

The most important parameter for TV application of LCD is a fast switching time for the display of moving image. To achieve faster switching time, the novel LC single materials with large dielectric anisotropies ($16{\sim}20$), high clearing temperatures ($195.5{\sim}237.4^{\circ}C$), broad nematic ranges (up to 169.9 $^{\circ}C$) and high birefringence ($0.254{\sim}0.2200$) were developed. KUR-series LC mixtures blended these single materials having significantly higher clearing temperatures and dielectric anisotropy values compared with conventional LC mixture. Especially, their clearing temperatures are $10{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ higher than their host mixture. These LC mixtures showing about lOms of high-speed switching time in Tv/Monitor of TFT LCD, is short enough to be addressed in a single time frame of 60Hz (16.7 ms). The threshold voltage $V_{th}$ was low enough to operate at a driving voltage of 5 V. The VHR values were found to be high enough for TFT-LCD in wide temperature range. Our novel LC mixtures are suitable materials for the inclusion in to LC mixtures for TV application of TN-LCD

The activated sludge from the aeration basin of the Su-yeong municipal wastewater treatment plant which has operated by a standard activated sludge process in Busan, Korea was investigated during April 2004 and January 2005 with several bio-indicators. The number of bacteria and fungi per gram of dry weight of MLSS were estimated to be $3.1\times10^6\sim1.5\times10^8\;and\;l.1\times10^3\sim1.1\times10^5$ colony forming units, respectively, by the plate agar method. By cultivation-independent methods, such as 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole stain and fluorescence in situ hybridization, the ratio of eubacteria to the entire biomass was evaluated by more than $80\%$ (v/v). The ratio of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria to the total eubacteria was detennined to be $7.0\sim9.8\%\;and\;3.3\sim6.2\%$ without heavy variation in spite of a period of relatively low temperature in the basin. It would be expected that the nitrification would occur or at least co-exist throughout the year in the sludge of many municipal WWTP with influents that contain the sufficient nitrogen sources although the WWTP does not have any specialized processes for the removal of nitrogen.
