The variations of TSP concentrations observed at Air Quality Monitoring Stations(AQMSs) in Seoul were analysed from 1986 to 1993. And those of Yellow Sand period were investigated to find out the characteristics between normal and Yellow Sand period. The TSP concentrations have begun lower than 150.mu.g/m$^{3}$ annual mean concentration at Gwanghwamun, Hannam-dong, and south river region since 1989, and air quality in Seoul was improved in 1991, but polluted again in Hannam-dong, and Seongsu-dong in 1992. Yellow sand phenomena of 1990 and 1993 were selected for case study. During the whole period in 1990, the TSP concentrations were exceeded over 300.mu.g/m$^{3}$, which is the upper limit of 24 hour concentration, at the center of city such as Mapo, Gileum-dong, sinseol-dong. But in 1993, the TSP concentrations got lower than 24 hour concentration, and air quality was highly improved.

The effects of the dried stem powder of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten (OF-s) were investigated on gastric lesion and ulcer models in rats. It showed significant inhibition in HCl·ethanolinduced gastric lesion at the doses of 200 and 600 mg/kg p.o. and in HCl·aspirin-induced gastric lesion at 600 mg/kg p.o. OF-s also showed significant inhibition in indomethacin-induced gastric lesion at the doses of 200 and 600 mg/kg, p.o. However, it did not affect both the aspirin-induced and Shay ulcers in rats. It also did not affect gastric juice secretion, acid output and pH. These data indicate that OF-s only possesses pronounced inhibitory action on gastric lesion without antiulcer activity in rats.

A retrospective study was carried out of 20 patients with histologically proven invasive carcinoma of the vagina from 1979 to 1993; 17 cases with curative primary radiotherapy and three cases with postoperative radiotherapy. The five and ten year overall survival rates were $79\%$ and $53\%$, respectively. Survival was strongly correlated with stage. Five year survival rates of stage I, stage II, and stage III, IV were $100\%$, $78\%$, and $0\%$, respectively. Eight patients experienced recurrences: five within the irradiated volume, two distant metastasis, and one combined both local and distant metastasis. There was no significant late complication. From these data, radiation is effective in the management of the vaginal cancer patients and optimum treatment modality and total dose recommendation are made.

High producers or blocked mutants of aminoglycoside antibiotic-producing Streptomyces spp. were selected by application of an agar plug method and by culturing individual colonies in broth. The productivities of aminoglycoside antibiotic producing organisms were increased by selection of a high producer from colonies obtained by spreading spores of wild strain, or survived from treatment of a mutagen or from the colonies regenerated from protoplast-formation and cell-wall regenerations. Some mutagen treated colonies lost the ability to produce antibiotics (5-8%). Some A-factor negative and deostreptamine or streptidine negative mutants were obtained by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosomethylguanidine (MNNG) treatment. Many of the survivors from the MNNG treatment lost the ability to produce antibiotics. Major colonies produced less amount of antibiotics ; only few survived colonies produced more antibiotics than the parent. Resistance of Streptomyces spp. against the antibiotics produced by itself was also markedly affected by mutagen treatment.

Rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, inflicts serious damage to global rice production. Due to high variability of this fungal pathogen, resistance of newly-released rice cultivars is easily broken down. To understand the population structure of M. oryzae, we analyzed the genetic diversity of the Korean population using multilocus microsatellite typing. Eleven microsatellite markers were applied to the population of 190 rice isolates which had been collected in Korea for two decades since the 1980's. Average values of gene diversity and allele frequency were 0.412 and 6.5, respectively. Comparative analysis of the digitized allele information revealed that the Korean population exhibited a similar level of allele diversity to the integrated diversity of the world populations, suggesting a particularly high diversity of the Korean population. Therefore, these microsatellite markers and the comprehensive collection of field isolates will be useful genetic resources to identify the genetic diversity of M. oryzae population.

An oxidized starch was modified for surface sizing via etherification and esterification. Propylene oxide (PO), sodium monochloroacetate (SMCA), and acrylonitrile (AN) were used as etherification, and vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), maleic anhydride (MA), fumaric acid (FA), and itaconic acid (ITA) were used for esterification. Esterification and etherification of starch decreased both Brookfield viscosity and Brabender viscosity substantially even though the solids level was increased by 2% from 14 to 16%. Surface sizing performance of starches in tensile strength, stiffness and compressive strength was improved by esterification and etherification of the oxidized starch. Especially, SMCA etherification was found to be the most effective modification method.

Palladium particles were synthesized by conventional chemical reduction method with ionic liquids. The size and shape of palladium particles were significantly affected by the cation parts of ionic liquids. This is mainly attributed to the different stabilities of the ionic liquid structure formed by the physical bond between the cation parts. Among ionic liquids with [$BF_{4}$] as an anion part, the hexyl substituent in the cation parts was more effective to synthesize palladium particles with the smaller size and more uniform shape.

In this study, numerical simulations for the conjugate heat transfer of air with a heat-sink of CPU were conducted. The heat-sink consisted of many fins of cylinder shape and the effect of the number of fins on the cooling performance of the heat sink was investigated. Grid independent solutions were obtained to compare the maximum temperature of the heat-sink for various conditions. It was found that maximum temperature of the heat-sink asymptotically approached 310K as the number of fins went to infinity. The energy exchange of air with the heat-sink was found to be nearly independent on the number of fins.

This study aimed to develop a new multiplex real-time PCR detection method for 3 species of waterborne protozoan parasites (Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia, and Cyclospora cayetanensis) identified as major causes of traveler's diarrhea. Three target genes were specifically and simultaneously detected by the TaqMan probe method for multiple parasitic infection cases, including Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein for C. parvum, glutamate dehydrogenase for G. lamblia, and internal transcribed spacer 1 for C. cayetanensis. Gene product 21 for bacteriophage T4 was used as an internal control DNA target for monitoring human stool DNA amplification. TaqMan probes were prepared using 4 fluorescent dyes, $FAM^{TM}$, $HEX^{TM}$, $Cy5^{TM}$, and CAL Fluor $Red^{(R)}$ 610 on C. parvum, G. lamblia, C. cayetanensis, and bacteriophage T4, respectively. We developed a novel primer-probe set for each parasite, a primer-probe cocktail (a mixture of primers and probes for the parasites and the internal control) for multiplex real-time PCR analysis, and a protocol for this detection method. Multiplex real-time PCR with the primer-probe cocktail successfully and specifically detected the target genes of C. parvum, G. lamblia, and C. cayetanensis in the mixed spiked human stool sample. The limit of detection for our assay was $2{\times}10$ copies for C. parvum and for C. cayetanensis, while it was $2{\times}10^3$ copies for G. lamblia. We propose that the multiplex real-time PCR detection method developed here is a useful method for simultaneously diagnosing the most common causative protozoa in traveler's diarrhea.
