The electrochemical characteristics of Al-Si casting alloys (Al-10%Si, Al-9%Si, Al-7%Si) in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature was studied using potentiodynamic techniques. The electrochemical values of corrosion potential($E_c$), corrosion current density($I_c$) and corrosion rate(mpy) were examined. The Al-Si alloys had several compounds such as $Mg_2Si$, ${\pi}$-$Al_8Si_6Mg_2Fe$ and $Al_2CuMg$ which could affect corrosion resistance significantly. The potentiodynamic polarization curve exhibited typical active behavior in anodic polarization curve. The major corrosion mechansim for the Al-Si alloys were pitting and grain boundary corrosion. As increasing Si and Cu contents, their corrosion resistance was decreased.

The mass balances of calcium salts during the manufacturing processes of Tofu were established by conductometric method and chemical analysis method. During the manufacturing processes of soy milk and Tofu, 66% of solid and 63% of calcium was transfered from soy-bean to the soy milk, and 47.8% of total solid from soybean was transfered to the Tofu, respectively. When the $CaCl_2$ was used as coagulant, calcium contents in Tofu $(Y_{Tofu},\;mg{\cdot}Ca/g{\cdot}Tofu,\;wet\;basis)$ and drained solution $(Y_{drained\;soln},\;mg{\cdot}Ca/ml{\cdot}drained\;soln.)$ were linearly increased with the amounts of $CaCl_2(C,g{\cdot}CaCl_2/ml{\cdot}soy\;milk)$ added in soy milk, and correlative equations between them were obtained as $Y_{Tofu}=0.3369\;C+1.2689$ for Tofu$(moisture\;content:\;81.5{\pm}0.5%)$ with r=0.9898, and $Y_{drained\;soln}= 0.2899C+0.0399$ for drained solution with r= 0.9991. It was proved that conductometric method was reasonably applicable to the measurement of calcium contents of the products from every processes of Tofu manufacture except soy-bean. However the conductometric method was not recomendable in the case of $CaSO_4$ as coagulant due to its low solubility ana uneven distribution in soy milk and Tofu tissue.

For the aerospace structural application of high-strength 2xxx series aluminum alloys, stress corrosion cracking(SCC) behavior in aggressive environments needs to be well understood. In this study, the SCC sensitivities of 2024-T62, 2124-T851 and 2050-T84 alloys in a 3.5 % NaCl solution are measured using a constant load testing method without polarization and a slow strain rate test(SSRT) method at a strain rate of 10-6 /sec under a cathodic applied potential. When the specimens are exposed to a 3.5 % NaCl solution under a constant load for 10 days, the decrease in tensile ductility is negligible for 2124-T851 and 2050-T84 specimens, proving that T8 heat treatment is beneficial in improving the SCC resistance of 2xxx series aluminum alloys. The specimens are also susceptible to SCC in a hydrogen-generating environment at a slow strain rate of $10^{-6}/sec$ in a 3.5 % NaCl solution under a cathodic applied potential. Regardless of the test method, low impurity 2124-T851 and high Cu/Mg ratio 2050-T84 alloys are found to have relatively lower SCC sensitivity than 2024-T62. The SCC behavior of 2xxx series aluminum alloys in the 3.5 % NaCl solution is discussed based on fractographic and micrographic observations.

This study was conducted to investigate optimal harvesting stage and the effects on cut roses of Korean cultivar harvested at different stages. Cut roses are harvested at three different flowering stages. The optimal harvesting stage of cut roses was different depending on varieties. The vase life of standard type 'Pink Song' and spray type 'Peace One' was extended when they were harvested in one and three stages, respectively. The vase life was generally increased when the cut roses were pretreated with a solution containing 2% sucrose + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ aluminum sulfate + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $Mg(NO_3)_2$ + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $CaCl_2$ as compared to the control regardless of the harvesting stage. And this pretreatment solution improved the flower quality of cut roses bred in Korea. But the effects of pretreatment were varied depending on the harvesting stage.

To prepare soybean curds, the concentration of $CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;CaSO_4$ and glucono-%{\delta}$-lactone fresh solution as coagulants were determined by transmittance of whey using spectrophotometer. The concentrations of four coagulants at which the transmittance had the highest value were chosen. Moisture content, yield and protein recovery of soybean curds prepared with four coagulants were investigated. The textural properties were examined by Instron Universal Testing Machine, and sensory evaluation was carried out. The microstructure of soybean curds was examined by SEM. Soybean curds obtained with $CaCl_2\;and\;MgCl_2$ were hard and coarse, and had roasted nutty taste, whereas those with $CaSO_4$ and GDL revealed very smooth, soft and uniform. Soybean curd prepared with GDL had the lowest acceptability because of sour taste. The texture and acceptability of soybean curds were influenced by the type of coagulant.

A more rapid and efficient method to extract RNA from Ecklonia cava Kjellman (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) was introduced in this study. Each step of the procedure was evaluated and the optimal concentration of each chemical in the lysis solution was determined. Tissue pulverization with PVPP and β-mercaptoethanol in the lysis solution were not essential for RNA extraction of this species. The highest yield and purity of E. cava RNA were obtained by the lysis solution containing 1% CTAB, 1 M NaCl, 0.7% PVP, 10mM EDTA and 100mM Tris-Cl (pH 9.0). Approximately 8μg of RNA was obtained from 200 mg of ground tissue. The ratios of the absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm were from 1.6 to 1.8 and those of at 230 nm and 260 nm were from 1.8 to 2.0. The extracted RNAs obtained in this study turned out to have a sufficient quality for cDNA synthesis.

This study aims demonstrate the effect of chitosan, one of the natural chelator, on the ultrastructural changes in the mouse liver caused by $HgCl_2$. The experimental group was divided in two groups; group A and group B. The group A administrated $HgCl_2$ (5.0 mg/kg) to the oral. The group B treated with $HgCl_2$ (5.0 mg/kg) and chitosan (3%) solution, 2 times/day). Each group was observed 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after treated $HgCl_2$ and chitosan. Histological changes of the livers were investigated by electron microscope. 1. Croup A Nuclear membrane was shrinked. The inner and outer membrane of the mitochondria were dilated. Destruction of lamellae of rough endoplasmic reticulum showed. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum showed over cytoplasm. 2. Group B Nuclear membrane was more rounded, The cristae of the mitochondria were almost normal shape and electron-density showed compacted. Dilation of inner cavity of rough endoplasmic reticulum showed at the pre-time but formed typical lamellae at the 48Hrs. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum showed over cytoplasm. Therefore, we concluded that chitosan has significantly protective effects in liver to harmful $HgCl_2$.

The dependence of the corrosion potential on the stress corrosion cracking of 304 austenitic stainless steel was inspected by using the specimen of constant displacement type under the environment of 42% $MgCl_2$ boiled solution. The relationship of the corrosion potential to the intermittent propagation behaviour in stress corrosion cracking was cleared. As the results, a possible model of stress corrosion cracking of 304 austenitic stainless steel in $MgCl_2$ boiled solution was presented on the basis of the Film Rupture Model. This model is specified by the following process. Rupturing of passive film at notch tip .rarw. Dissolution of metal ion and formation of tunnel .rarw. Initiation of microcrack .rarw. Propagation of main crack .rarw. Recreation of passive film at new crack surface.

This work studied the corrosion behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy galvanically coupled with Cu during immersion in 0.1 and 0.5 M NaCl solutions by in-situ observation and galvanic corrosion current measurement using a zero resistance ammeter. The corrosion behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy was also studied by salt spray test. The average galvanic corrosion density during 2 h immersion in 0.1 NaCl solution was found to decrease as an exponential function with increasing the surface area ratios between AZ31:Cu or with increasing the distance between AZ31 and Cu. The corrosion of electrodeposited Cu on AZ31 Mg alloy was concentrated at the area next to Cu (about 5 mm for immersion test and 2 mm for salt spray test) and pitting corrosion was accelerated at the area beyond the severely corroded area by the galvanic coupling effect.
