This study was analyzed by PCR technique with specific primer in order to investigate the characteristics of ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin (${\beta}$-LG) gene 5'flanking region in Korean native goat. This work confirmed amplified product of 1,077 bp fragments obtained from the amplification of ${\beta}$-LG promoter from genomic DNA using PCR in Korean native goat. The nucleotide sequence of ${\beta}$-LG gene 5'flanking region in Korean native goat as compared with that of sheep ${\beta}$-LG were different at 46 base of 897 nucleotides, and showed high homology as about 94.9% each breed. Especially we confirmed that the difference of nucleotide sequences between Korean native goat and sheep were consisted of $T{\rightarrow}C$ substitution and $C{\rightarrow}T$ substitution reversely. As a consequences, the sequences of ${\beta}$-LG gene 5'flanking region showed a high homology between Korean native goat and sheep. Furthermore we should be studied that relationships between the control of gene expression and nucleotide sequences of transcription factor in Korean native goat.

Flavor modifing effects of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ on the flavor of Chungkookjang(Korean traditional fermented bean paste) were investigated with varied substitution levels of 10, 20, and 30%. The 20% substituted sample groups showed significantly lower amount of protein and ash contents compared to those of control. The L value of brightness had significantly the largest value of 53.99 with 30% substituted sample group, and lower a and b values. Internal structures of control group observed using the scanning electronic microscope, had irregular round type shape with viscous materials, and they had tendencies to be less rough and organized making even and ordered internal cell structures as the substituted levels were increased. Results of sensory characteristics showed significantly lower off-odor and salty flavor with the 20% substituted sample groups compared to those of control. Results of this study showed the possibilities of flavor moderating effects of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ when it was used as one of the flavor modifier of the Chungkookjang. Future studies of finding the optimum level of substitution is further required.

$\beta$-Glucans, which were isolated from sangwhang (Phellinus linteus), were subjected to reductive amination and the biological properties of the derivative were investigated. The degree of substitution of the aminated sangwhang $\beta$-glucan was calculated by elemental analysis to be 1.13. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) experiments showed that the aminated derivative increased nitric oxide production. In addition, the amination enhanced in vitro cytotoxic activities against HT1080 and SNU-C2A cell lines. Thus, the aminated derivative is shown to enhance immune systems by the incorporation of amino groups into the polymer structure.

The rate constants for the reaction of ${\alpha}$-naphthalene carbonyl chloride and ${\beta}$-naphthalene carbonyl chloride have been determined in methanol-acetonitrile and methanol-acetone. The rate constant of ${\alpha}$-naphtalene carbonyl chloride is higher than that of ${\beta}$-naphthalene carbonyl chloride. This behavior is consistent with Dewar's number, Nr and also Streitwieser's value ${\sigma}^+$. Since in the transition state carbonyl carbon is transformed to$sp^3$, no peri-hydrogen effect was observed.

The kinetics of reactions between Z-aryl thiophene-2-carbodithioates and X-pyridines in acetonitrile at 60.0 $^{\circ}C$ have been investigated. The Bronsted plots obtained for the pyridinolysis of aryl thiophene-2-carbodithioates are curved, with the center of curvature at $pK_a$ ~ 5.2 ($pK_a^{\circ}$). The Bronsted plots for these nucleophilic reactions show a change in slope from a large ( ${\beta}_X{\cong}$0.78-0.87) to a small ( ${\beta}_X{\cong}$0.33-0.35) value, which can be attributed to a change in the rate-determining step from breakdown to formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate in the reaction path as the basicity of the pyridine nucleophile increases. A clear-cut change in the crossinteraction constants, ${\rho}_{XZ}$, from +0.92 to -0.23 supports the proposed mechanistic change. The breakpoint at $pK_a$ = 5.2 for R = thiophene ring in the present work is in agreement with those for the pyridinolysis of R = Me and 2-furyl, and attests to the insignificant effects of acyl group, R, on the breakpoint.

Kinetics have been studied by high vacuum and high pressure apparatus under various temperatures and pressures for the nucleophilic substitution reaction. Rate constants, activated parameters and Hammett ${\rho}$-values are determined. The values of ${\Delta}V^{\ddag}$, ${\Delta}{\beta}^{\ddag}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\ddag}$ are all negative. The Hammett ${\rho}$-values are negative for the nucleophile (${\rho}x$) over the pressure range studied. Consequently the rate constant increases as the pressure increases, and some decrease in vacuum. So these reactions proceed in typical $S_N2$ reaction mechanism.

Kinetic studies for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl halides(para-substituted benzyl bromides and benzyliodide) with substituted pyridines in MeOH-MeCN mixtures have been carried out in order to elucidate the reaction mechanism. Cross interaction coefficient, ${\rho}_{XY}$ values suggested that the reactions between benzylhalides and substituted pyridines exhibit an dissocitive $S_N$2 mechanism. Hammett (${\rho}_X$, ${\rho}_Y$), Br${\o}$nsted ${\beta}_N$ and solvatochromic correlation coefficient a, s, a/s values were illustrated. Kinetic results were compared between potential energy surface model and quantum mechanical model. The quantum mechanical approach showed to be consistent with kinetic results.

Effective glass frit compositions enabled to absorb laser energy, and to seal a commercial dye-sensitized solar-cell-panel substrate were developed by using $V_2O_5$-based glasses with various amounts of $TeO_2$ substitution. The latter was intended to increase the lifetime of the solar cells. Substitution of $V_2O_5$ by $TeO_2$ provided a strong network structure for the glasses via the formation of tetrahedral pyramids in the glass, and changed the various glass properties, such as glass transition temperature ($T_g$), dilatometric softening point ($T_d$), crystallization temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and glass flowage without any detrimental effect on the laser absorption property of the glasses. The thermal expansion mismatch (${\Delta}{\alpha}$) between the glass frit and the substrate could be controlled within less than ${\pm}5%$ by addition of 10 wt% of ${\beta}$-eucryptite. An 810 nm diode laser was used for the sealing test. The laser sealing test revealed that the VZBT20 glass frit with 10 wt% ${\beta}$-eucryptite was successfully sealed the substrates without interfacial cracks and pores. The optimum sealing conditions were provided by a beam size of 3 mm, laser power of 40 watt, scan speed of 300 mm/s, and 200 irradiation cycles.

Kinetic studies on the pyridinolysis of aryl dithiocyclopentanecarboxyaltes 2 were carried out at $60.0^{\circ}C$ in acetonitrile. In the aminolysis of 2, the $\beta_X$ values were 0.5 - 0.8 with anilines, and there was no breakpoint. However, in the pyridinolysis of 2, biphasic Bronsted plots were obtained, with a change in slope from a large value ($\beta_X{\cong}0.7$) to a small value ($\beta_X{\cong}0.4$) at $pK_{a}^0$ = 5.2. This was attributed to a change in the rate-limiting step from breakdown to the formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, $T^{\pm}$, in the reaction path, with an increase in the basicity of the pyridine nucleophile. An obvious change in the cross-interaction constant ${\rho}_{XZ}$ from a large positive ($\rho_{XZ}$ = +1.02) value to a small negative value (${\rho}_{XZ}$ = -0.17) supports the proposed mechanistic change.

In order to develope hydroxyapatite ceramics which has mechanical strength as bio-implant materials and get the basic data for the study and application of biocompatibility, hydroxyapatite was synthesized at Ca/P=1.67~1.75, pH 7~11 by precipitation method. Using prepared powders, the sintered body, fluorine substituted body and the porous body was formed and their properties were investigated. The sample obtained in condition of Ca/P=1.67, pH 7 and sintering at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$ was decomposed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate, and co-existed with hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite synthesized at pH 11 was not easily decomposed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate at sintering process. The substitution of a small amount of fluorine for hydroxyapatite prevented hydroxyapatite from being decompsed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate. Hydroxyapatite ceramics which substited of 10% fluorine was prepared at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$, and the valueof bending strength for this body were found to be 112MPa.
