Growth and nitrogen retention of Persicaria thunbergii were investigated in the wetland microcosms which contained the plants growing on soil bed. Nitrogen solution was supplied to the microcosms with the same amount of $NH_4^{+}-N\; and\; NO_3^{-}-N$ at the rates of 0.00, 0.78, 1.57, 3.14g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdor}wk^{-1}$ from May 1 to August 31, 1995. The solution was detained for 5 days to react with soil and plant and then allowed to leach. The contents of NH_4^{+}-N\;and\; NO_3^{-}-N$ in the leachate, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, plant biomass, and soil characteristics were determined. Nitrogen retained by plant was estimated as the increment of TKN in plant biomass. The addition of 0.78 and 1.57g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}wk^{-1}$ resulted in significant increase of plant biomass. However, plant growth was inhibited when nitrogen was added at the rate of 3.14g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}wk^{-1}$. Overall, the plant biomass was positively correlated with the amount of nitrogen retained by plant and soil system. The amounts of $NO_3^{-}-N$ leached from the microcosms were 5~10 times higher than those of $NH_4^{+}-N$. While total nitrogen added ranged from 143.2 to 576.5g $N/m^2$, total leaching loss of inorganic nitrogen and nitrogen retained by plant was as little as 1.04~22.71g $N/m^2$, and 5.46~12.91g $N/m^2$, respectively. Then, the plant seemed to contribute to KDICical and microbial immobilization of nitrogen in the soil. Finally, it is suggested that a large portion of nitrogen added was lost into the air by denitrification and volatilizaton, and / or leached in organic forms.

The vibrational relaxation rate constants of NO(v = 1-7) by $O_2\;and\;N_2$ have been calculated in the temperature range of 300-1000 K using the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. The calculated relaxation rate constants by $O_2$ increase monotonically with the vibrational energy level v, which is compatible with the experimental data, while those by $N_2$ are nearly independent of v in the range of $3.40 {\pm}1.60{\times}10_{-16} cm^3$/molecule-sec at 300 K. Those for NO(v) + $N_2$ are about 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than those for NO(v) + $O_2$, because the latter is an exothermic processes while the former an endothermic. Relaxation processes can be interpreted by single-quantum V-V transition. The contributions of V-T/R transition and double-quantum V-V transition to the relaxation are negligible over the entire temperature range.

N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) and N-nitroso-N-ethylurea (NEU), direct alkylating chemical mutagens and carcinogens, are shown to be the upregulators of cellular $NF-{\kappa}B$, regulating various genes that mediate tumorigenesis and carcinogenesis. Nitric oxide (NO), a toxic reactive radical gas, has been known to induce programmed cell death or apoptosis in various cells. Therefore, the assessment of NO production was examined to elucidate the possible contribution of NO release to the chemical carcinogenic potency of NMU and NEU in human skin cells. NMU and NEU did not alter the NO production, but they caused a significant downregulation of the NO generation on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NO production at concentrations ranging from $2{\sim}5{\mu}M$. The degree of downregulation of NO by NMU and NEU decreased up to 15% and 20%, respectively, compared to the control. These results demonstrate that the LPS-inducible keratinocytes NO synthase is involved in modulating carcinogenic potency by NMU and NEU, and the regulation of the cellular $NF-{\kappa}B$ activity by NMU and NEU is negatively correlated with the level of LPS-induced NO production in human skin cells. The findings of this study suggest the hypothesis that NMU and NEU-induced carcinogenesis may be associated with the downregulation of NO production, and the inducible NO may play an important role in NMU and NEU-induced carcinogenicity in human epidermal keratinocytes.

Ammonia oxidation activity of polluted water samples in Jinhae Bay and isolated strain from the seawater was investigated, and effects of environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, substrate concentration to the ammonia oxidation were also investigated. The ammonia oxidation activities of sediments, 0.01-0.04mg eq. $NO_2-N/l/h$, were exceptionally higher than that of sea water, $0.5{\sim}1{\mu}g$ eq. $NO_2-N/l/h$. the activities of muddy sediments at station 4 and 2 were 0.03~0.04mg eq. $NO_2-N/l/h$ and that of sandy sediment at station 3 was 0.002mg eq. $NO_2-N/l/h$. In the case of sea water, the activity of polluted area, station 1, was 2 times higher than that of offshore, station 4. The isolated strain reached log phase after 30days culturs and its oxidation activity was $2{\sim}3{\mu}g$ eq. $NO_2-N/day$. The maximum oxidation of ammonia by IA 13 strain occured at 30mg/l oxidation increased with the salinity rising up to 100% seawater concentraion. And temperature for maximum oxidation of ammonia was $35^{\circ}C$. the oxidation increased with the salinity rising up to 100% seawater concentration.

본 연구에서는 황-이용 독립영양 탈질을 위한 경제적이면서도 효율적인 알칼리원의 선정을 위하여 숯, 연탄재, 패각 및 석회석을 대상으로 희분식 실험 및 연속실험을 실시하여 $NO_3{^-}-N$ 부하에 따른 탈질효율을 파악하였다. 희분식 실험 결과 패각 및 석회석이 가장 우수한 산 중화능력을 보였으나, 넓은 표면적을 가진 패각이 석회석보다 알칼리도 공급능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 황과 패각간의 혼합비는 1/1 (V/V)이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. $NO_3{^-}-N$의 농도를 증가시키면서 수행한 연속실험 결과, 116 g $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3-day$의 부하까지는 90% 이상의 탈질효율을 나타내었으나, 145 g $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3-day$의 부하에서는 탈질효옳이 48%로 악화 되었다. 제거된 $NO_3{^-}-N$ 1 g당 생성된 $SO_4{^{2-}}$의 양은 평균 7.02 g으로 이론값인 7.54 g보다 낮게 나타났다. $NO_3{^-}-N$의 탈질은 반응속도상수가 평균 0.146/hr인 1차 반응으로, 그리고 $SO_4{^{2-}}$의 생성은 반응속도상수가 평균 -53.1 mg/L-hr인 0차 반응으로 나타났다. $NO_3{^-}-N$의 탈질량에 비례하여 가스가 발생되었는데, 질소 물질수지를 따진 결파 제거된 질소중 71~109%, 평균 90%가 $N_2$가스로 회수되었다.

산림토양내(山林土壤內) N 양료화(養料化)와 질산화(窒酸化)를 구명(究明)하기 위하여 최근(最近) 많이 사용하고 있는 ion 교환 (交換) 수지(樹脂) (Ion Exchange Resin : IER)의 방법(方法)을 구명(究明)하고 실험실(實驗室)과 토양(土壤)에 묻었던 IER의 재사용(再使用) 여부를 판단(判斷)하기 위하여 흡수율(吸收率)을 분석(分析)하였다. IER 20g을 나이론 스타킹에 넣고 무처리구, 2M NaCl에 진탕한 후 물에 씻은 처리구(處理區)(2M NaCl구(區), 4M NaCl에 진탕한 처리구(處理區)로서 N 흡수율(吸收率)을 분석(分析)한 결과(結果) 2M NaCl구(區)의 IER은 $NH_4$ 및 $NO_3$를 각각(各各) 70, 60% 흡수(吸收)하여 가장 높은 결과를 보였고 4M NaCl구(區)는 40%정도의 흡수율(吸收率)을 나타냈다. 무처리(無處理) IER은 $NO_3$ 흡수율에서 2M NaCl구(區)와 비슷하였으나 $NH_4$는 낮은 N 농도에서 과대치를 나타냈다. 재사용(再使用)한 IER의 흡수율은 60~80%로서 일정한 흡수율을 나타내지 않았지만 전처리(前處理)로서, 흡수율(吸收率)을 구명(究明)하여 N 농도별로 각각(各各) 흡수율(吸收率)을 적용하면 재사용이 가능할 것으로 판단(判斷)된다.

한국 경기도 일대의 하천으로부터 90 균주의 광합성 박테리아를 순수 분리ㆍ동정하였다. 이들중 고효율의 질소($NH_3$-N, $NO_{3{^{-}$-N)제거능을 가진 균주들을 다양한 조건(명처-혐기, 호기: 암처-혐기, 호기)하에서 선별하였다. $NH_3$-N은 위의 4가지 조건하에서 모든 균주가 제거하였고, 평균 제거율은 호기조건(83.8%)에서 혐기조건(75.1%)보다 약간 높게 나타났다. NH$_3$-N의 감소에 따른 $NH_3$-N증가는 일어나지 않았다. $NO_{3{^{-}$-N은 혐기조건에서 소수의 특정 균주에 의해 제거되었다. 명처-혐기조건에서 다양한 CODcr (mg/L)/biomass (mg/L)에 따른 실험 결과는 CODcr (mg/L)/biomass (mg/L)0.2에서 유기물(98.2%)과 $NH_3$-N(89.0%)의 제거율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 명처-혐기조건에서 다양한 C/N 비율에 따른 실험 결과는, 높은 C/N비 뿐만 아니라 낮은 C/N비(5:1)에서도 $NH_3$-N의 효과적인 제거율(75.8%)을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 또한 $NO_{3{^{-}$-N (96.0%)의 동시적 제거를 확인할 수 있었다.

Vermistabilization is the stabilization of organic wastes using earthworms. The worms maintain aerobic conditions in the waste, accelerating and enhancing the biological decomposition of the waste. This study was carried out to find out fundamental factors affecting the performance of the process such as temperature, moisture content and pH condition of nightsoil sludge, and to evaluate the worms excreta (casting) as fertilizer. The results could be summarized as follows; the optimum range of temperature was observed 10~3$0^{\circ}C$ while survival rate of eathworm decreased rapidly at 35$^{\circ}C$ within 6 days and death occurred at 5$^{\circ}C$. Those of moisture content and pH condition were 50~70% and 5~8, respectively. Earthworms were revealed to change the composition of N in nightsoil sludge consisting of$NH_3$-N (71%), $NO_2$-N (2%) and $NO_3$-N (27%) into that $NH_3$-N (24%), $NO_2$-N (1%), $NO_3$-N (75%) in earthworm excreta, respectively The concentrations of NH$_3$and H$_2$S gas in pig manure were reduced by 59.2% and 45.2% in case of mixing pig manure with casting.
