  • Cell lines of Ginkgo biloba were derived from different plant parts and from ten varieties spanning various geographic locations. They had various properties of growth and product formation. More than three flavonol glycosides were present in low concentration in callus and suspension cultures. Cell growth and biosynthesis of flavonol glycosides were found to be affected by medium composition. Culture conditions which influenced cell growth and product formation were also examined. Light stimulated the flavonol glycosides biosynthesis and ten times higher flavonol glycosides content was obtained as compared with the result without light.

  • Biofilm formation is inevitable in a bioelectrochemical system in which microorganisms act as a sole biocatalyst. Cathodic biofilm (CBF) works as a double-edged sword in the performance of the air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Proton and oxygen crossover through the CBF are limited by the robust structure of extracellular polymeric substances, composition of available constituents and environmental condition from which the biofilm is formed. The MFC performance in terms of power, current and coulombic efficiency is influenced by the nature and origin of CBF. Development of CBF from different ecological environment while keeping the same anode inoculums, contributes additional charge transfer resistance to the total internal resistance, with increase in coulombic efficiency at the expense of power reduction. This study demonstrates that MFC operation conditions need to be optimized on the choice of initial inoculum medium that leads to the biofilm formation on the air cathode.

  • Extensive study was carried out on Clay expansive soil. This soil was silty clay and can be classified as CH. The degree of expansion was found to range from low to medium depending on the free swell and swell pressure tests. The research investigated the effect of using cement dust on swelling potential, Atterberg Limit, linear shrinkage, and mineralogical composition of expansive soil. The results showed that the swelling potential, plasticity index, linear shrinkage, and clay minerals decrease with increasing cement dust percentage. The cement dust accumulates in huge amounts as a side product in cement factories, and the disposal of this fine dust is very difficult and poses an environmental threat.

  • The effect of fermentation parameters and medium composition on the simultaneous mycelial growth and exo-polymer production from submerged cultures of Ganoderma applanatum was investigated in shake-flask cultures. The optimum initial pH for mycelial growth and exo-polymer production was 5.0 and 6.0, respectively. The optimum temperature was $25^{\circ}C$ and the optimum inoculum content was 3.0% (v/v). The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were glucose and corn steep powder, respectively. After 12 days fermentation under these conditions, the highest mycelial growth was 18.0 g/l and the highest exo-polymer production was 3.9 g/l.

  • The compositions and microstructures of Pb-Sn alloy electrodeposits were investigated in terms of the electrolysis conditions conditions by using fluoborate bath. The Pb content of alloy deposit decreased with increasing dreasing current density until the limting content was obtained. The proferred orientation of Pb-phase in the alloy changed in the sequence of (110)longrightarrow(100)longrightarrow(100)+(110)(311)longrightarrowrandom distribution of crystals with increasing cathode overpotential, while that of $\beta$-Sn phase was (110)(301)(211)n mixed texture. The smooth surface with granular crystallites was obtained below medium current desity, while the rough surface texture was formed at high current density.

  • Cell attachment and proliferation on the polymer films of triblock copolymer(ester-ether)s comprising po1y (L-1actide) (PLLA) and poly (oxyethylene-co-oxypropylene)(PN) were investigated using 3T3 fibroblasts. It was found that on the tissue culture polystyrene(TCPS) and the PLLA control film the cells could spread well while on the copolymer films the cells showed a rounded morphology without spreading and proliferated weakly. Especially, little cells proliferated on the films of copolymer having a LN composition of 20 wt%. While the water absorption of the copolymer films increased with increasing PN content, the contact angle against water of copolymer films immersed in aqueous medium was almost identical, being slightly lower than that of the PLLA film. These properties were compatible with the results of cell attachment. The in vitro hydrolysis of the films of triblock and multiblock type copolymers was faster with increasing PN content. The increased hydrolyzability, the flexibility and the decreased cell attachment suggested that these copolymers may have high potential as biodegradable materials for medical use.

  • Entrainment and deposition experiments were counducted in fresh water on four groups of sediments: three well-defined sediments of uniform composition and narrow-size distribution (1 to 9 um, 10 to 50 um, and 50 to 90 um), and a fourth group which was a mixture of these three sediments. In the entrainment experiments and at a particular stress, the steady-state suspended sediment concentration of the coarse group was the lowest while the concentrations of the fine and medium groups were higher that that of the coarse group but were similar to each other. Deposition experiments generally showed an exponential decrease of suspended sediment concentration with time with the decay time being a function of particle size and applied stress.

  • In recent years, small mobile devices called personal mobility or smart mobility have attracted attention. Personal mobility refers to electric-driven personal transportation that can travel at close range and medium distance, including small electric vehicles, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric scooters. Most of the electric scooters used in Korea are mainly imported from China. This is due to the fact that the price competitiveness of major components of electric scooters is owned in China. At this point, the domestic research direction is preferable for the composition and design of the electric scooter body rather than cost reduction for the components. In this study, we propose a new model of portable folding structure that is easy to use for electric scooters, which are personal vehicles using electric energy. We also made a prototype for practical use.
