Cr-B2, a Gram-negative hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] reducing bacteria, was isolated from the aerator water of an activated sludge process in the wastewater treatment facility of a dye and pigment based chemical industry. Cr-B2 exhibited a resistance for 1,100 mg/l Cr(VI) and, similarly, resistance against other heavy metal ions such as $Ni^{2+}$ (800 mg/l), $Cu^{2+}$ (600 mg/l), $Pb^{2+}$ (1,100 mg/l), $Cd^{2+}$ (350 mg/l), $ZN^{2+}$ (700 mg/l), and $Fe^{3+}$ (1,000 mg/l), and against selected antibiotics. Cr-B2 was observed to efficiently reduce 200 mg/l Cr(VI) completely in both nutrient and LB media, and could convert Cr(VI) to Cr(III) aerobically. Cr(VI) reduction kinetics followed allosteric enzyme kinetics. The $K_m$ values were found to be 43.11 mg/l for nutrient media and 38.05 mg/l for LB media. $V_{max}$ values of 13.17 mg/l/h and 12.53 mg/l/h were obtained for nutrient media and LB media, respectively, and the cooperativity coefficients (n) were found to be 8.47 and 3.49, respectively, indicating positive cooperativity in both cases. SEM analysis showed the formation of wrinkles and depressions in the cells when exposed to 800 mg/l Cr(VI) concentration. The organism was seen to exhibit pleomorphic behavior. Cr-B2 was identified on the basis of morphological, biochemical, and partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing chracterizations and found to be Acinetobacter sp.

A battery based on the lithium/elemental sulfur redox couple has the advantage of high theoretical specific capacity of 1,675 mAh/g-sulfur. However, Li/S battery has bad cyclic durability at room temperature due to sulfur active material loss resulting from lithium polysulfide dissolution. To improve the cycle life of Li/S battery, PEGDME (Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether) 500 containing 1M LiTFSI salt which has high viscosity was used as electrolyte to retard the polysulfide dissolution and nano-sized $Mg_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}O$ was added to sulfur cathode as additive to adsorb soluble polysulfide within sulfur cathode. From experimental results, the improvement of the capacity and cycle life of Li/S battery was observed( maximum discharge capacity : 1,185 mAh/g-sulfur, C50/C1 = 85 % ). Through the charge-discharge test, we knew that PEGDME 500 played a role of preventing incomplete charge-discharge $behavior^{1,2)$. And then, in sulfur dissolution analysis and rate capability test, we first confirmed that nano-sized $Mg_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}O$ had polysulfide adsorbing effect and catalytic effect of promoting the Li/S redox reaction. In addition, from BET surface area analysis, we also verified that it played the part of increasing the porosity of sulfur cathode.

대현 금-은광상은 Cambro-Ordovician 석회암질 대리암내에 발달된 NE 방향성의 단열대를 따라 형성된 2개의 열수성 석영맥으로 구성된다. 모암변질시 원소 분산과 이득/손실을 알아보기 위해 모암, 열수변질대 및 금-은 광맥에서 시료를 채취하였다. 모암변질시 뚜렷한 변질대가 관찰되지 않으며 구성광물은 주로 방해석, 돌로마이트, 석영과 소량 녹염석 등이다. 이 광상의 광석광물은 유비철석, 자류철석, 황철석, 섬아연석, 황석석, 황동석, 방연석, 에렉트럼, 자연 창연 및 은 광물 등이 산출된다. 분석된 자료를 기초로, 모암은 주로 $SiO_2$, CaO 및 $CO_2$로 구성되며 소량 $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$ 및 MgO 등이 함유되어 있다. 광체로부터 모암으로 감에 따라 $SiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$, MgO, CaO 및 $CO_2$ 함량은 변화 폭이 크게 관찰된다. 모암변질시 모암의 물리-화학적 물성 때문에 원소 분산은 현저히 관찰되지 않으며 단지 광체 주변부에서만 관찰된다. 모암변질시 이득원소들은 $Fe_2O_3(T)$, 총 S, Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, W 및 Zn이고 손실원소들은 $SiO_2$, MnO, MgO, CaO. $CO_2$ 및 Sr 이다. 따라서 우리의 결과물은 황강리 광화대내 석회암질 대리암을 모암으로 갖는 광상들의 지화학탐사시 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The present work is focused on the preconcentration of nickel and its determination by means of diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The preconcentration of nickel was carried out by sorption on macroporous aminocarboxylic amphoteric resin ANKB-35. Based on this collector, a method to determine nickel in wastes of heat power industry was worked out using solid-phase spectroscopy. The colored surface compound to be determined was obtained by a preceding nickel sorption on the resin and by subsequent treatment of the concentrate obtained with definite amounts of 1-(2-pyridilazo)-2-naphtol (PAN). The Ni calibration curve is linear in the concentration range of 0.5-20.0 mg/L (sample volume is 200.0 mL) and the detection limit is 0.05 mg/L. The presence of $Cu^{2+},\;Fe^{3+},\;Co^{2+}$ ions as well as macrocomponents of natural water $(Na^+,\;K^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+})$ do not hinder the solid-phase spectroscopy determination of nickel. The nickel determination by diffuse reflection spectroscopy was carried out in model solutions as well as in solutions obtained after the dissolution of wastes of heat power industry.

$Mn_{1-x}Fe_{2+x}O_4$, $Mg_{1-x}Fe_{2+x}O_4$ (x=0.0, 0.025, 0.1, 0.2) for negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor were prepared by calcining at $800^{\circ}C$ and sintering from 1100 to $1250^{\circ}C$ with $50^{\circ}C$ intervals. The best linear property was obtained in the Mn-based sample sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ with x=0.0 composition. Temperature coefficient of resistance, $\alpha$, was -3.0 %/$^{\circ}C$ in the Mg-based sample at $25^{\circ}C$. Thermistor parameter, B, was in the range of 2500 [K] $\sim$7400 [K]. The results show the possibility that Mn-Ni-Co based thermistor could be substituted by the composition used in this study.

In the present article, a novel fusion expression vector for Escherichia coli was developed based on the pTORG plasmid, a derivative of pET32a. This vector, named pT7MT(GenBank Accession No DQ504436), carries a T7 promoter and it drives the downstream gene encoding Metallothionein 2A(MT2A). There are in-framed multiple cloning sites(MCS) downstream of the MT2A gene. A target gene can be cloned into the MCS and fused to the C-terminal of the MT2A gene in a compatible open reading frame(ORF) to achieve fusion expression. The metal-binding capability of MT2A allows the purification of fusion proteins by metal chelating affinity chromatography, known as $Ni^{2+}$-affinity chromatography. Using this expression vector, we successfully got the stable and high-yield expression of MT2A-GST and MT2A-Troponin I fusion proteins. These two proteins were easily purified from the supernatant of cell lysates by one-step $Ni^{2+}$-affinity chromatography. The final yields of MT2A-GST and MT2A-Troponin I were 30mg/l and 28mg/l in LB culture, respectively. Taken together, our data suggest that pT7MT can be applied as a useful expression vector for stable and high-yield production of fusion proteins.

A highly selective colorimetric chemosensor for $Hg^{2+}$ based on the semisquaraine(BSQ) containing benzothiazole moiety was investigated. BSQ showed color change only with $Hg^{2+}$ but it showed no significant changes upon addition of other metal ions such as $Ca^{2+},\;Pb^{2+},\;Al^{3+},\;Ce^{2+},\;Ba^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cd^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;and\;Mg^{2+}$. $Hg^{2+}$ ions coordinated to the BSQ forming 1:1 complex. The experimental data and conclusions are rationalized by $DMol^3$ calculation results.

Effects of E$_2$O$_3$. HO$_2$O$_3$ and Dy$_2$O$_3$ addition on dielectric properties of non-reducible BaTiO$_3$ based X7R dielectrics with Ni electrode have been studied in a reduced atmosphere. As the content of rare-earth with E$_2$O$_3$. HO$_2$O$_3$, Dy$_2$O$_3$ was less than 3wt%, The TCC(Temperature Capacitance Change) and insulation resistance characteristics were improved by compensate the oxygen vacancies due to occupy either the Ba or Ti site. We developed the composition of X7R (EIA standard) for higher capacitance MLCC which had high reliability electric properties by the addition of Er ion into BaTiO$_3$ + MgO + Y2O$_3$ + MnO + (Ba$\sub$0.4/Ca$\sub$0.6/)SiO$_3$ composition.

This study was conducted to research the formation, color development and application for colored glazes of the spinel solid solutions of the green pigment. On specimens prepared by calcining the oxide and basic carbonate mixture at 1250℃ for 1.5 hour, the x-ray analysis, measurement of reflectance and the test of their stabiality as a glaze pigment were carried out. The results are summarized as follows 1) Each sample is composed of single spinel and not of mixture of spinel. 2) Formation of continuous soild solution, except for a few instances, pertaining to Vegard's law was confirmed by means of the x-ray analysis. 3) The more difference between absorption and reflectance lies, the lighter colors are. When the absorption occurs at the high-reflectance, the excitation purity becomes low. On the contrary when the absorption takes place at the low-reflectance, the excitation purity becomes low. On the contrary when the absorption takes place at the low-reflectance, the excitation purity is higher. 4) Colors obtained in the CdO-MgO-Cr2O3-Al2O3 system, as the amounts of Al3+ increased, change from green through brown to pink, and the absorption peak shifts towards violet region. 5) An increase in Co2+ in the CoO-MgO-Cr2O3-Al2O3 system, changes the color from blue green to dark blue. The excitation purity is higher, and the absorption peak shifts toward regions. 6) Colors are green in the NiO-MgO-Cr2O3 and CdO-MgO-Cr2O3 systems in general, but in the ZnO-MgO-Cr2O3 system brillant hue is not obtained. 70 According to the results of the colored glaze test, the spinels turn outto be stable as brilliant glaze pigment in the calcium-magnesia glaze.

유기농산물인증과 무농약농산물인증 지역의 논토양에 대한 연구를 위하여 고성지역 친환경작목반 중심으로 유기농산물 생산지역 266필지와 무농약 농산물 생산지역 545필지로 나누어 비교 조사하였다. 유기재배지 토양의 Cd, Cu, As, Hg, Pb, $Cr^{6+}$, Zn, Ni는 각각 0.05, 14.5, 1.08, 0.92, 10.7, 1.34, 35.9, 22.2 mg $kg^{-1}$인 반면에 무농약 재배지 토양은 각각 0.32, 13.6, 1.01, 0.03, 10.4, 0.91, 42.4, 22.5 mg $kg^{-1}$이었다. 토양의 화학성 중 pH, 유기물, 유효 $P_2O_5$, 유효 $SiO_2$의 평균값은 유기 재배지 토양에서 각각 5.9, 28.9 g $kg^{-1}$, 126.2 mg $kg^{-1}$, 150.8 mg $kg^{-1}$이었으며, 무농약 재배지 토양은 각각 5.92, 28.4 g $kg^{-1}$, 98.4 mg $kg^{-1}$, 230.1 mg $kg^{-1}$이었다. 치환성 양이온인 $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mn^{2+}$의 평균값은 유기재배지 토양의 경우 각각 0.22, 4.83, 0.94 cmol + $kg^{-1}$이었고, 무농약 재배지 토양의 경우 각각 0.33, 5.25, 1.04 cmol+ $kg^{-1}$이었다. 유기 재배지 농업용수의 pH, DO, BOD, COD, SS는 각각 7.23, 8.40, 2.80, 1.86, 2.58 mg $l^{-1}$이었고, 무농약 재배지의 농업용수는 각각 7.65, 9.16, 2.25, 4.11, 4.00 mg $l^{-1}$이었다. 이와 결과를 기초로 하면, 유기농산물과 무농약농산물의 인증기준이 되는 토양과 농업용수의 차이가 없기 때문에 한국의 유기농산물과 무농약농산물로 나누어진 친환경농산물인증을 국제기준의 유기(식품)인증으로 일원화하여야 할 것으로 본다.
