Positive effect of multiple-PGPR (Plan Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria), isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil, on the germination of Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli var. frumentacea) was quantitatively estimated in 5 heavy metal (Cd, As, Ni, Cu, and Pb) contaminated liquid medium. The $EC_{50}$ value for respective heavy metal was estimated by TSK (Trimmed Speraman-Karber) model based on germination rate. The results showed overall increase in $EC_{50}$ with PGPR inoculation. The $EC_{50}$ value increased 1.4% from 96.0 mg/L (control) to 97.4 mg/L (PGPR-treated) in As contaminated medium. In Ni contaminated medium, the $EC_{50}$ value increased 31.9% from 148.0 mg/L (control) to 195.2 mg/L (PGPR-treated), while the $EC_{50}$ showed 4.8% increase from 63.4 mg/L (control) to 66.5 mg/L (PGPR-treated) in Cu medium. Overall seedling growth was stronger in the PGPR treated seeds than that in the control, but positive effect on seedling growth was not conspicuous. At effective concentration of 100 mg/L, the average seedling length of the PGPR treatment in As, Cd, Cu, and Ni medium, respectively, was 1.13, 0.14, 0.40, and 0.06 cm longer than that in the control. However, the increase of seedling growth was statistically insignificant (p < 0.05). These results suggest that inoculation of the isolated-PGPR exerts positive effects on seed germination by reducing heavy metal toxicity and can be an effective tool for application of phytoremediation on heavy metal contaminated soils.

Objectives: To determine the actual revolutions per minute (rpm) values and compare the cyclic fatigue life of Reciproc (RPC, VDW GmbH), WaveOne (WO, Dentsply Maillefer), and TF Adaptive (TFA, Axis/SybronEndo) nickel-titanium (NiTi) file systems using high-speed camera. Materials and Methods: Twenty RPC R25 (25/0.08), 20 WO Primary (25/0.08), and 20 TFA ML 1 (25/0.08) files were employed in the present study. The cyclic fatigue tests were performed using a dynamic cyclic fatigue testing device, which has an artificial stainless steel canal with a $60^{\circ}$ angle of curvature and a 5-mm radius of curvature. The files were divided into 3 groups (group 1, RPC R25 [RPC]; group 2, WO Primary [WO]; group 3, TF Adaptive ML 1 [TFA]). All the instruments were rotated until fracture during the cyclic fatigue test and slow-motion videos were captured using high-speed camera. The number of cycles to failure (NCF) was calculated. The data were analyzed statistically using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA, p < 0.05). Results: The slow-motion videos were indicated that rpm values of the RPC, WO, and TFA groups were 180, 210, and 425, respectively. RPC ($3,464.45{\pm}487.58$) and WO ($3,257.63{\pm}556.39$) groups had significantly longer cyclic fatigue life compared with TFA ($1,634.46{\pm}300.03$) group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean length of the fractured fragments. Conclusions: Within the limitation of the present study, RPC and WO NiTi files showed significantly longer cyclic fatigue life than TFA NiTi file.

The oxidation of NiAl(110) was investigated in the temperature regime between 300K and 1300 K using LEED (low energy electron diffraction), TPD (temperature programmed desorption) and HREELS (high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy). The adsorption of N2O and O2 up to reconstructions. Stepwise annealing of the oxygen-saturated sample from 600 K to 1300K in UHV (ultra-high vacuum,) results in firstly the onset of randomly oriented then finally fairly well-ordered. 5 ${\AA}$ Al2O3 film with quasi-hexagonal periodicity. Ordered thicker oxide films of 18-30 ${\AA}$ seem to be grown on this interfacial oxide layer by direct oxidation of sample at elevated temperature between 1150 and 1300 K because of the LEED pattern consisting of new broad hexagonal spots and the previous 5 ${\AA}$ spots. Although the periodicity of surface oxygen arrays shows no significant change from an hexagonal close-packing, the O-O distance changes from ∼3.0 ${\AA}$ film to ∼2.9 ${\AA}$ for thicker oxides. with the appearance of Auger parameter, for the 5${\AA}$ film can be described better as an interfacial oxide layer. The observation of three symmetric phonon peaks can be also a supporting evidence for this phase assignment since thicker oxide films on the Same Ni2Al3(110) show somewhat different phonon structure much closer to that of the ${\gamma}$-Al2O3. The adsorption/desorption of methanol further proves the preparation of less-defective and/or oxygen-terminated Al2O3 films showing ordered phase transitions with the change of oxide thickness between 5 ${\AA}$ to 30 ${\AA}$.

The azacrown compound, 1,7-dioxa-4,10,13-triazacyclopentadecane-N,N',N"-tri(methyl-acetic acid)(N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid)) was synthesized by modified procedure of Krespan. Potentiometric method has been used to determine the protonation constants of N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) and stability constants of complexes on the divalent transition metal ions (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and trivalent metal ions (Ce3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Yb3+) with N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid). The stability constants for the complexes of the divalent transition metal ions studied in the present work with N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) were 11.4 for Co2+, 11.63 for Ni2+, 13.51 for Cu2+, and 11.65 for Zn2+, respectively. Thus, the order of the stability constants for complexes on the transition metal ions with N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) was shown Co2+ < Ni2+ < Cu2+ > Zn2+ as same as the order of Irving-Williams series. The stability constants of Ce3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Yb3+ trivalent lanthanide metal ion complexes of N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) were, respectively, 11.26 for Ce3+, 11.56 for Eu3+, 11.49 for Gd3+, and 11.80 for Yb3+. The values of the stability constants on trivalent metal ions with the ligand are increasing according to increase atomic number, due to increase acidity. But the value of stability constant of Gd3+ ion is less than the value of Eu3+ ion. This disordered behavior is also reported by Moeller.

Disposal of waste containing heavy metals into the environment is a major threat to human health and can result in toxic or chronic poisoning in aquatic life. In the current study, metal-resistant Raoultella ornithinolytica was isolated from metal-contaminated samples collected from the Tanjaro River, located southwest of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. R. ornithinolytica was identified by partial amplification of 16S rRNA. The uptake potency of heavy metals was assessed using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and indicated that R. ornithinolytica removed 67, 89, 63.4, 55.6, 56.5, 65, and 61.9% of Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn, Co, and Fe, respectively. These removal rates were influenced by temperature, pH, and contact time; at 35℃ and pH 5 with a change in the incubation time, the reduction rate improved from 89 to 95% for Pb, from 36.4 to 45% for Cu, and from 55.6 to 64% for Ni. Gene analysis indicated that R. ornithinolytica contained pbrT, chrB, nccA, iroN, and czcA genes, but the pcoD gene was absent. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) images showed evidence of metal ion binding on the cell wall surface with different rates of binding. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) detected different mechanisms for metal particle localization; cell surface adsorption was the main mechanism for Pb, Zn, and Co uptake, while Cd, Ni, and Fe were accumulated inside the cell. The current study describes, for the first time, the isolation of R. ornithinolytica from metal-contaminated water, which can be used as an eco-friendly biological expedient for the remediation and detoxification of metals from contaminated environments.

주암댐에 유입된 호저퇴적물의 입도(2mm-200{\mu}m,\;200-100{\mu}m,\;100-50{\mu}m,\;50-20{\mu}m,\;<20{\mu}m)별 중금속(As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn)의 이동과 퇴적 후 중금속의 수직적 분산 특성을 규명하기 위하여 12개 지점의 호저퇴적물과 3개 지점의 코아시료를 채취하였으며, 코아시료는 2-5 cm 간격으로 절단하여 깊이별 간극수와 퇴적물의 중금속 함량을 측정하였다. 호저퇴적물의 퇴적속도를 측정하기 위하여 코아시료에 대한 $^{210}Pb$ 동위원소 연구를 수행하였다. 주암댐 호저 퇴적물의 중금속 및 미량원소의 함량은 퇴적위치와 상관없이 거의 일정한 함량을 보이며.,평균 함량은 $As\;14.9\;{\mu}g/g,\;Cd\;0.81\;{\mu}g/g,\;Cu\;30.7\;\;{\mu}g/g,\;Ni\;34.7\;{\mu}g/g,\;Pb\;63.3\;{\mu}g/g,\;Zn\;87.9\;{\mu}g/g$이다. Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni 및 Cd의 함량은 $20\;{\mu}m$ 이하 입도의 퇴적물에서 가장 높은 반면, As는 $2mm-200{\mu}m$ 혹은 $200-100\;{\mu}m$ 입도의 퇴적물에서 가장 높다. 간극수에 용해된 원소 중에서 가장 함량이 높은 것은 Fe와 Mn 이었으며, 코아시료의 상부로부터 심부로 갈수록 함량이 증가하는 수직적 분산특성을 나타낸다. 반면에 용존 Zn과 Cu함량은 코아시료의 최상부에서 가장 높게 나타나며, 이는 산화:환원 전위차에 따른 유기물질 및 산화광물의 용해작용과 관련이 있다. 코아시료의 퇴적물 내 Cu, Ni, Pb 및 Zn 함량은 0-4 cm구간에서 가장 높은 표면집적 현상이 관찰되며, Pb와 Cu 함량이 현저하게 높은 데, 이는 인위적인 오염에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. $'unsupponed\;^{210}Pb'$을 이용하여 계산된 호저퇴적물의 퇴적 속도는 $\omega=0.91\;cm\;year^{-1}$ 이며, 이를 적용하면 주암댐이 완공된 이후 약 10 cm의 퇴적물이 평균적으로 퇴적된 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 자료는 주암댐 호수 바닥에 퇴적된 퇴적물의 관리방안을 마련하는 데 중요한 정보로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper describes the highly productive process technologies of microprobe arrays, which were used for a probe card to test a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chip with fine pitch pads. Cantilever-type microprobe arrays were fabricated using conventional micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) process technologies. Bonding material, gold-tin (Au-Sn) paste, was used to bond the Ni-Co alloy microprobes to the ceramic space transformer. The electrical and mechanical characteristics of a probe card with fabricated microprobes were measured by a conventional probe card tester. A probe card assembled with the fabricated microprobes showed good x-y alignment and planarity errors within ${\pm}5{\mu}m$ and ${\pm}10{\mu}m$, respectively. In addition, the average leakage current and contact resistance were approximately 1.04 nA and 0.054 ohm, respectively. The proposed highly productive microprobes can be applied to a MEMS probe card, to test a DRAM chip with fine pitch pads.

본 연구에서는 GD-MS를 활용하여 원소 별 함량이 다른 세 종류의 알루미늄 매질의 표준 시료를 분석하였다. 13 종의 원소(Mg, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Sn, Pb)에 대해 검량 곡선을 작성하고 그 기울기를 RSF(Relative sensitivity reference)로 확립하였다. 검량 곡선은 X축을 IBR(Ion beam ratio)로, Y축을 표준 시료의 인증 값으로 작성하였다. 검량 곡선의 정밀도와 직선성을 평가하기 위해 RSD(Relative standard deviation)와 결정 계수를 계산하였다. 그 결과 모든 원소의 RSD는 10 %이내로 높은 정밀도를 나타냈다. 바나듐, 니켈 그리고 갈륨 원소를 제외한 대부분의 원소들은 결정 계수가 0.99 이상으로 1에 가까운 값을 얻어 직선성이 우수했다. 바나듐, 니켈 그리고 갈륨 원소는 결정 계수가 0.90~0.95 범위로 비교적 낮은 직선성을 나타냈으며, 이는 좁은 농도 범위로 인한 오차로 판단된다. 바나듐, 니켈 그리고 갈륨 원소는 결정 계수는 낮지만 각각의 표준 시료 RSF와 기울기로 확립한 표준RSF(Standard-RSF)가 비슷하여 정량 분석을 위한 RSF로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 다른 매질의 시료에 표준RSF(Al matrix)를 적용 가능 여부와 실제 표준 값에 대한 오차를 확인하기 위해서 철 매질(Fe matrix)의 표준 시료를 분석하여 검증하였다. 구리 원소를 제외한 6 종(Al, Si, V, Cr, Mn, Ni) 원소의 오차율은 약 30 %로 나타났으며, 구리 원소는 측정을 방해하는 불순물 화합물의 영향으로 오차율이 크게 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 일반적으로 동위원소$^{63}Cu$는 $^{54}Fe^{2+}-^{36}Ar$ 간섭을 받고 $^{65}Cu$는 $^{56}Fe-Al^{3+}$간섭을 받는다. 이를 분해하기 위해서는 8000 이상의 분해능이 필요하다. 하지만, 높은 분해능은 이온의 투과도를 낮추기 때문에 미량원소 분석에 어려움이 있다. 구리 원소를 제외한 알루미늄 외 5종의 원소에 대해서는 비교적 적은 오차로 정량 분석이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.
