[ $\beta$ ]-Galactosidase was extracted from the internal organ of sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus The enzyme was purified 384.6-fold over the crude extract by the sequential chromatographic methods including DEAE-Sephadex A-25, CM-Cellulose, and Con A-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography with a recovery $1.26\%$. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated approximately 94 kDa as monomeric term by SDS-PAGE and Sephadex G-150 gel chromatography. The maximum enzymatic activity was observed at pH 3.0 and $50^{\circ}C$ but the one was stable over the ph range or 3.0$\~$5.0 and below $37^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values against PNPG (P-nitrophenyl $\beta$-D-galactopyranoside) were 15.0 mM and 214 $\mu$mole/min per mg protein, respectively. The enzymatic activity was activated by $Ba^{2+}$, but significantly inhibited by $DEP,\;Hg^{2+},\;Sn^{2+}$ and galactose.

The $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected at Gosan Site of Jeju Island, and analyzed, in order to investigate the size distribution and pollution characteristics of their components. $NH{_4}{^+}$, nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$, $K^+$, and $CH_3COO^-$ were mostly existed in fine particles. Meanwhile, $NO{_3}{^-}$ was distributed in both fine and coarse particles, and $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $Mg^{2+}$, nss-$Ca^{2+}$ were rich in coarse particle mode. The concentrations of nss-$Ca^{2+}$ and $NO{_3}{^-}$ were increased 36.7 and 3.2 times in coarse particles, and 15.0 and 3.1 times in fine particles during the Asian Dust periods. Especially, the concentrations of crustal elemental species such as Al, Fe, Ca, K, Mg, Ti, Mn, Sr, Ba were highly increased for those periods. In the haze events, the concentrations of secondary air pollutants were increased 1.3~2.6 and 1.5~4.2 times in coarse and fine particles, respectively. Moreover, the remarkable increase of $NO{_3}{^-}$ concentration was also observed in fine particle mode. The factor analysis showed that the composition of coarse particles was influenced mainly by marine sources, followed by soil and anthropogenic sources. On the other hand, the fine particles were influenced by anthropogenic sources, followed by marine and soil sources.

This study investigated the geochemical characteristics of mine drainage discharged from an abandoned coal mine in the Hwasoon area. Surface water samples were collected from 23 locations along the Hancheon creek. The concentration of Zn and Cu in stream waters was highest at low pH (3.53), whereas the content of TDS and TDI was highest at high pH (7.78) due to the concentration of Ca, $HCO_3$ and $SO_4$. At the upstream site, the Ba, Fe, Mn, Zn, and $SO_4$ contents were relatively high but decreased significantly with the distance from the coal mine. On the contrary, the Na and $NO_3$ contents were low at the upstream site but increased downstream. Yellow precipitate material collected in the Hancheon consisted mainly of iron and LOI. This yellow precipitate was heated from 100 to $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. With increasing temperature, the intensity of hematite peaks were sharply produced in X-ray pattern and the absorption band Fe-O of hematite increased in IR due to dehydration and melting. The yellow to brown precipitate and evaporite materials were collected by a air-dry from the acid mine water at the laboratory. After drying, the concentration of ions in the acid water samples increased progressively in oversaturation with respect to either gypsum, ferrohexahydrite or quenstedetite. The X-ray powder diffraction studies identified that the precipitated and evaporated materials after drying were well crystallized gypsum, ferrohexahydrite and quenstedetite. Diagnostic peaks used for identification of gypsum were the 7.65, 4.28, 3.03, 2.87 and 2.48$\AA$ peaks and those for ferrohexahydrite were the 5.46, 5.12, 4.89, 4.44, 4.05, 3.62, 3.46, 3.40, 3.20, 3.03, 2.94, 2.53, 2.28, 2.07, 1.88 and 1.86${\AA} peaks. The IR spectra with OH-stretching, deformation of $H_2O$and ${SO_4}^{2-}$stretching vibration include the existence of gypsum, ferrohexahydrite and quenstedetite in the precipitated and evaporite materials. In the SEM and EDS analysis for the evaporite material, gypsum with well-crystallized, acicular, and columnar form was distinctly observed.

The effects of various factors on germination of dormant Digitaria sanguinalis seeds were studied to obtain the basic informations on establishing an effective control method in upland crops. Germination of dormant seeds was most significantly promoted by light treatment, about 88-89%, and followed by the treatment of alternating temperatures (15 or 20$^{\circ}C$ to 35$^{\circ}C$), showing the similar effects like light. Removal of seed coats also increased germination of dormant seeds by 72%, next to the treatments of light and altering temperature. Potassium nitrate ($KNO_3$) at $10^{-2}M$ and concentrated sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$) treatment at the duration of 8 minutes resulted in 20% and 37.8% of germination of dormant seeds, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the untreated control. Under the conditions of altering temperature, gibberellic acid (GA) at $10^{-3}M$ to $10^{-6}M$, benzylandenin (BA) at $10^{-4}$ to $10^{-7}M$ and their combination had no effect on breaking of dormant weed seeds, and instead inhibited the promotive effects induced by the alternating temperature. However, under the constant temperature at 35$^{\circ}C$ in dark, all these treatments increased germination as much as 20% over the untreated control.

In the present research, in order to predict activity coefficient of inorganic ions in electrolyte solution of a petroleum system, we studied 13 components in the electrolyte solution, including $H_2O$, $CO_2$ (aq), $H^+$, $Na^+$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $SO_4$, $CO_3$, $OH^-$, $Cl^-$, and $HCO_3$. To predict the activity coefficient of the components of the petroleum system (a solid/liquid equilibrium system), activity coefficient model of Extended UNIQUAC was studied, along with its adjustable parameters optimized based on a genetic algorithm. The total calculated error associated with optimizing the adjustable parameters of Extended UNIQUAC model considering the 13 components under study at three temperature levels (298.15, 323.15, and 373.15 K) using the genetic algorithm is found to be 0.07.

${\alpha}$-L-Arabinofuranosidase was purified from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. DSNC 101. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 56 kDa. Optimum temperature and pH for ${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranosidase activity were 55$^{\circ}C$ and 7.0 respectively. The Michaelis constant(Km) and maximal reaction velo-city(Vmax) for p-nitrophenyl-${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranoside were 1.0 mM and 113.6 U/mg protein, respe-ctively. ${\alpha}$-L-Arabinofuranosidase was completely inhibited by HgCl$_2$ and CuSO$_4$. The enzyme was spe-cific for the ${\alpha}$-linked arabinoside in the furanoside configuration. The enzyme was produced during growth on agricultural residue such as rice straw, but not during growth on spelt xylan, glucose or cellobiose.

New synthesis and electroanthennogram (EAG) responses of the pheromones of the diamond back moth Plutella xylostella L. are described. Lithium dianion of propargyl alcohol was alkylated with 1-bromononane to give 2-dodecyn-1-ol, which was converted to 11-dodecyn-1-ol by acetylene-zipper reaction. Dianion of 11-dodecyn-1-ol was alkylated with 1-bromobutane to provide 11-hexadecyn-1-ol, which was in turn reduced over Pd/BaSO4 to afford (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol (3). (Z)-11-Hexadecen-1-ol was oxidized and acetylated to (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-al (1) and (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate (2), respectively. The electroantennogram (EAG) responses of the diamond back moth to the pheromone compouds thus synthesized were measured.

We described a rapid, sensitive and reproducible real-time PCR assay for detection and quantitation of canine parvovirus type 2 in the feces of dogs with parvovirus infection. The method was demonstrated to be highly specific and sensitive, allowing a precise canine parvovirus type-2 quantitation over range of eight orders of magnitude from $10^2\;to\;10^9$ copies of standard DNA. Then, fecal samples from parvovirus infected dogs were analyzed by conventional PCR and real-time PCR. Real-time PCR is more sensitive than conventional PCR, allowing to detect low viral titers of CPV-2 in infected dogs. By real-time PCR, a wide range of parvovirus particles was found in the samples from $1.45\times10^6\;to\;9.45\times10^8$ copies/0.01g of feces. However, when dogs are in infection of parvovirus, it is difficult to prove that the numbers of peripheral blood leukocytes are correlated with those of fecal shedding virus.

Computational investigation was conducted to study the effects of the shape parameter of shroud on the performance of the outdoor unit of an air-conditioners. For this study the Design of Experiment(4-factor 3-level) was created and the an automatic program was composed using VBA to reduce the load of pre-process for CFD. The estimated mathematical equation was produced from this analysis and it was found that the gap between fan and shroud affects more heavily than the other parameters. As a result, the composition of the best parameters was verified that its flow rate was increased by 10 percents and sound pressure level was reduced by 1.2 dBA compare with the worst. And finally, a kind of Propeller fan with blades which were attached to the shroud, so-called 'ProBeller Fan' was introduced in this study.
