A glucose-limited “pH-stat” continuous culture study of Lactobacillus bulgaricus NLS-4 in an anaerobic condition showed the marked effects of environmental pH on end products, fermentation blances and bioenergetic aspects of the organism. Lactic acid was the major end product of fermentation with minor products, such as acetic acid, formic acid and ethanol throughout the pH range tested. In acidic conditions below pH 6.5, a typi-cal pattern of homofermentation was revealed whereas in alkaline conditions, the metabolic pattern was changed from homofermentation to heterofermentation and led to acquire much energy. This metabolic change was likely due to the pH-dependent lactate dehydrogenase activity. Molar growth yields (Yglc=35.5-44.4) and YATP, $18.5\pm2.5$ in average which was 80％ higher than the value ever postulated seemed to be accounted for less requirement of maintenance energy of the organism in the culture conditions.

This study was performed to investigate the removal characteristics of phosphate by adsorption on olivine, which is generated as industrial by-products from quarry. The adsorption of phosphate on olivine was significantly achieved within 1 hour and equilibrated after 3 hours. The adsorption capacity of phosphate was enhanced with decreasing pH. The maximum adsorption capacity was observed to be 0.463 mg/g in the condition of pH 3. The $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ion amount per adsorbent eluted from olivine was increased with decreasing pH. The precipitation test showed that phosphate in aqueous phase under the condition of pH 3 ~ 9 could be eliminated largely by adsorption on olivine, not precipitation. Freundlich adsorption model were successfully applied to describe the adsorption behavior of phosphate on olivine. The $q_m$ of Langmuir adsorption model were 1.3369 mg/g, 1.0544 mg/g, 1.0288 mg/g at pH 3, 6 and 9, respectively. The $K_F$ of Freundlich adsorption model were 0.4247 mg/g, 0.3399 mg/g, 0.2942 mg/g at pH 3, 6 and 9, respectively. The olivine showed high feasibility as a adsorbent for the removal of $PO_4$-P.

The main objective of this study was to modulate pH-sensitive polymers (poly($\beta-amino esters$)) by controlling their molecular weight during their synthesis. These pH-sensitive and biodegradable polymers were synthesized by Michael-type step polymerization. 1,4-Butane diol diacrylate was used as the unsaturated carbonyl compound and piperazine as the nucleophilic compound. Various molecular weight polymers were obtained by varying the mol ratio of piperazine/1,4-butane diol diacrylate. The synthesized polymers were characterized by $^{1}H-NMR$ and their molecular weights were measured by gel permeation chromatography(GPC). The dependence of the molecular weight on the mol ratio was evaluated by the titration method. Also, the pH dependent turbidity of the polymers was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. This pH dependent property of the polymers could be very useful for preparing drug carriers that are sensitive to pH.

In this study, the effect of Sn and Mg on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-Fe-P alloy were investigated by using scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal softening, size and distribution of the precipitation phases in order to satisfy characteristic for lead frame material. It was observed that Cu-0.14wt%Fe-0.03wt%P-0.05wt%Si-0.1wt%Zn with Sn and Mg indicates increasing tensile strength compare with PMC90 since Sn restrained the growth of the Fe-P precipitation phase on the matrix. However, the electrical conductivity was decreased by adding addition of Sn and Mg because Sn was dispersed on the matrix and restrained the growth of the Fe-P precipitation. The size of 100 nm $Mg_3P_2$ precipitation phase was observed having lattice parameter $a:12.01{\AA}$ such that [111] zone axis. According to the results of the study, the tensile strength and the electrical conductivity satisfied the requirements of lead frame; so, there is the possibility of application as a substitution material for lead frame of Cu alloy.

입자들이 용액에 녹아있을 때 pH에 따라서 다른 zeta-potential을 가지게 되며, 이것은 입자의 분산상태에 영향을 주게 된다. NO 센서에서 $WO_3$ 입자의 크기는 감도에 큰 영향을 끼치므로 Sol-Coprecipitation법에 의한 $WO_3$ 센서 제조 시에 $WO_3$ precursor 상태에서의 pH의 영향을 알아보았다. 먼저 $WO_3$ precursor의 전기적 포텐셜을 측정하여 pH가 2에서 7로 변함에 따라 mobility가 증가하여 7일 때에 가장 큰 분산도를 가진 것을 알 수 있었고, 이는 powder 제조 후 입도 분석, 감지막의 XRD peak, 표면사진으로부터 확인 할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 감도 특성에도 영향을 끼쳐 pH=7에서 제조한 센서가 다른 pH에서 제조한 센서보다 감도가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and click chemistry was employed for the efficient preparation of well-defined block copolymers. Bromo terminated poly(methyl acrylate) (pMA-Br) was prepared by an ATRP initiator, ethyl-2-bromoisobutyrate (EBiB). Subsequently, the bromine chain end of pMA-Br was converted to an azide group by simple nucleophilic substitution reaction. ${\alpha}-Alkyn-{\omega}-bromo-functionalized$ polystyrene was also synthesized by ATRP using the alkyn-functionalized initiator, propargyl-2-bromoisobutyrate (PgBiB). In both cases, the conversion was limited to a low level to ensure a high degree of chain end functionality. Then the coupling reaction between the azide end group in $pMA-N_3$ and alkyn-functionalized PgBiB-pSt was performed by Cu(I)catalysis. This coupling reaction was monitored by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The synthesized block copolymer was characterized by FT-IR, $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy and $^1H-^1H$ COSY correlation spectroscopy.

Weirs are conventional structures that control water level and velocity in streams to facilitate water resource management. Despite many weirs built in streams, there is little information how weirs change hydrology regime and how that translates to sediment and phosphorus (P) responses. This study evaluated the influence of weirs on P retention and mobilization in an urban tributary of the Han River in Korea. Total P concentrations in sediments upstream of weirs were higher than the downstream site, mainly due to the increase of potentially available fractions (labile P and aluminum- and iron-bound P) (p < 0.05). Equilibrium phosphorus concentrations ($EPC_o$) were lower than soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations of stream waters, but there was an increasing trend of sediment $EPC_o$ upstream of weirs compared to the downstream site (p < 0.001) indicating a greater potential for P release upstream of weirs. Sediment core incubation showed that SRP release rates upstream of weirs were higher than the downstream site under anoxic conditions of the water column (p < 0.01), but not under oxic conditions. SRP release rates under anoxic conditions were greater than that measured under oxic conditions. Un-neutral pH and increased temperature could also enhance SRP release rates upstream of weirs. We conclude that weirs can increase P retention within stream sediments and potentially promote significant P releases into waters, which in turn cause eutrophication.

Propagation of Anagrapha falcifera nuclear polyhedrosis virus(AfNPV) was investigated using well-plates and split-flow air-lift bioreactors. In well-plate experiments, the effects of pH, cell density at a point of infection, serum concentration, DEAE-dextran, and lipid on virus propagation were all closely examined. The AfNPV titer in well-plates was optimal at pH 6.8 and $3{\times}10^6$ cells/$cm^2$. The virus titer was not dramatically affected when the fetal bovine serum concentration was reduced from 10% to 5%. The addition of cholesterol at AfNPV infection of Sf21 cells enhanced the virus titer, whereas the addition of DEAE-dextran did not improve the titer. The AfNPV titer ($3.8{\times}10^7$ $TCID_{50}/ml$) at optimized conditions for well-plate experiments was 2.5-fold higher than for the control. In bioreactor experiments, the AfNPV titer showed its maximum level at air flow rates of 20-40 ml/min. In a split-flow air-lift bioreactor, AfNPV titer ($2.3{\times}10^7\;TCID_{50}/ml$) was 1.5-fold higher than the control when the culture was at pH 6.8 and supplemented with 0.34 mM cholesterol.

Electro-coagulation experiments were conducted with aluminum (Al) or iron (Fe) electrode in order to determine the optimal electrode material and operation conditions for algae removal. Al electrode showed higher removal rate of algae than Fe electrode because Al flocs have positive surface charges which electrostatically attract algae species having negative surface charges. Removal rate of algae and total phosphorous (T-P) was increased as current density and electrode area increases. It was also found that initial pH with neutral range was optimum for T-P removal by electro-coagulation. Bench-scale continuous flow experiments consisted of electro-coagulation reactor, agitation tank and settling tank were conducted. In electro-coagulation reactor, a large fraction of Al flocs were distributed to scum layer, due to the gas bubbles generated by electrolysis reaction. In agitation tank, most of Al flocs were settled and the optimal mixing intensity was found to be 50 rpm to achieve good settleability. The removal rate of algae was about 90-95%. Additionally, the removal rate of the T-P and COD was observed to be $73.8{\pm}8.0%$ and $75.0{\pm}3.8%$, respectively. Meanwhile, the removal rate of total nitrogen (T-N) was relatively low at only 24%.
