  • We have studied the molecular orientation by the phase transitions of the chiral smectic liquid crystals, 4-(1-Trifluoromethyl-6-ethoxy-hexyloxycarbonlphenyl)-4-nonyloxybiphenyl-4-carbo-xylate (R-TFMEOHPNBC) to seek the original solution of the zig-zag defect using two different experimental techniques; optical system and x-ray scattering. The phase sequence is gamma ferroelectric $(SmC{\gamma}\;^*)$ ${\rightarrow}$ smectic A (SmA) ${\rightarrow}$ isotropic (I). Existence of two layer spacing at chiral smectic phase gives a possibility of the molecular orientation in two different tilt angles, ${\theta}\;_1$ and ${\theta}\;_2$, which are separated each other to the layer normal at a given temperature. The gamma ferroelectric-like phase is, first, discovered in the single compound.

  • In order to obtain more specific antigenic preparation for the diagnosis of human paragonlmiasis, crude saline extract of whole worm (=PwWWE), secretory.excretory components (PwSEC) and secretion-excretion-free somatic extract (PwSM) of 12 week-old ParagoninBus westermani were filtrated through Sephadex G-200 gel column. The adult Paragonimus worms were obtained from expevimentally infected doge. A total of 11 antigenic solutions was Iyophilised or diluted to adjust protein content of 1mg/ml. To evaluate the antigenicity of crude antigens and fractions, micro-ELISA was done with the sera from P westermani in(ected cases, C. sinensis infected cases and non-infected control cases to detect Paragonimus specific IgG antibody. The results were as follows: 1. When the PwWWE was filtrated through Sephadex G-200 gel, it was separated into three fractions; PwWWE Fr. 1, PwWWE Fr. 2 and PwWWE Fr. 3. The percentage of protein content was 28.0%, 21.6% and 50.4% respectively. The PwSM was also. separated into three fractions; PwSM Fr. 1, PwSM Fr. 2, PwSM Fr. 3. and their percentage of protein content was 41.3%, 38.6% and 20.1%. However, the PwSEC showed different fractionation pattern; i.e. fraction 1 (=PwSEC Fr.1) and 3 (PwSEC Fr. 3) without fraction 2. The percentage of protein content was 14.0% in PwSEC Fr. 1 and 86.0% in PwSEC Fr. 3. 2. When the antigenicity of each Paragonimus crude antigen and fractionated antigen was evaluated for specific IgG aritibody by micro-ELISA in 10 human paragonimiasis sera, PwSEC Fr, 1 was the most potent antigen showing the mean absorbance 1.98. The PwWWE Fr. 1, PwSEC, PwWWE were next to that: their mean absorbance were 1.72, 1.38 and 0.83 respectively. The antigenicity of fractions 2 and 3 was much weaker in binding specific IgG antibody. 3. When the antigens were reacted in micro-ELISA with 10 human clonorchiasis sera, most antigens showed weak reactivity. Each fraction 1 of crude antigens reacted higher than other fractions or crude antigens; the mean absorbance was 0.17 in fraction 1, but in others the absorbances were about 0.06. 4. With non-infected control sera, the result of micro-RLISA revealed almost same pattern with those of the clonorchiasis sera. From the above results, it became apparent that PwWWE Fr. 1, especially PwSEC Fr. 1 was the most potent antigen reacted with Paragonisfaus specific IgG antibody.

  • Jurassic granite from Geochang was analysed with respect to the characteristics of the rock cleavage. The comprehensive evaluation for rock cleavages was performed through the combination of the 16 parameters derived from the enlarged photomicrographs of the thin section and the spacing-cumulative frequency diagrams. The results of analysis for the representative values of these spacing parameters with respect to the rock cleavage are summarized as follows. First, the above parameters can be classified into group I (spacing frequency (N), total spacing ($1m{\geq}$), constant (a), exponent (${\lambda}$), slope of exponential straight line (${\theta}$), length of line (oa') and trigonometric ratios ($sin{\theta}$, $tan{\theta}$) and group II (mean spacing (Sm), difference value between mean spacing and median spacing (Sm-Sme), density (${\rho}$), lengths of lines (oa and aa'), area of a right-angled triangle (${\Delta}oaa^{\prime}$) and trigonometric ratio($cos{\theta}$). The values of the 8 parameters belonging to group I show an order of H(hardway, H1+H2)

  • A total of 166 strains of Salmonella (S) typhimurium var copenhagen isolated from pigeons (164 strains) and aquatic birds (2 strains) were examined for the biochemical characteristics and plasmid profiles. All the strains were sensitive to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, kanamycin and sulfadimethoxine. But 13 strains(7.8%) were resistant to streptomycin (Sm), 2 (1.2%) to tetracycline, 2 (1.2%) to rifampicin, and 1 (0.6%) to nalidixic acid. Among drug resistant strains, only one strain resistant to Sm contained conjugative R plasmid which was fertility inhibition and incompatibility group $I_{\alpha}$. All the strains were sensitive to cobalt chloride, cupric sulfate, lead nitrate, mercuric chloride and silver nitrate. Of 166 isolates, 6 (3.6%) were resistant to sodium arsenate and 1 (0.6%) to potassium tellurite. Among 166 isolates, 1 (0.6%) was colicinogenic, 12 (7.2%) sucrose fermenters, and 166 (100%) maltose fermenters. Plasmid profiles were confirmed as being 4 or 5 plasmids, and their molecular weight ranged 3.2 to 60 megadalton (MD). All the strains harbored 60 Md plasmid. There are three patterns by the plasmid profile, 150 isolates (90.4%) were pattern I (3.2, 3.5, 33, 60Md), 14 (8.4%) pattern II (3.2, 3.5, 29, 60Md), and 2 (1.2%) pattern III (4.2, 7.8, 8.5, 15, 60Md). S typhimurium var copenhagen strains containing 60Md plasmid were resistant to killing by 90% normal guinea pig serum.

  • The electrolytic boronizing on carbon steels in the mixture of $Na_2B_4O_7$ and NaCl was conducted at 750~$950^{\circ}C$ for 1~6 hours under 0.5A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ current density. The micorostructrure and microheredness of boronized layer was also studien. The effect of the additive such as $CaCl_2$ or NaOH on the formation of boronized layer was also investigated. The boronized layer were composed of two sublayers, i.e., FeB and $Fe_2B$ , which have tooth structure. the average layer thinknesses of the low carbon steel and SM45C boronized at $900^{\circ}C$ for 4hours were 153 and 138 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The thickness of the twosublayers was significantly increased with increasing boronizing temperature. To obtain a single $Fe_2B$ layer without FeB sublayer, the boronized materials ware homegenized at $950^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. It was fount that the single layer with a microhardness Hv$\thickapprox$ 1120 -1250 was formed. The calculated activation energies for formation of boronized layer on the low carbon steel and SM45C were 18.7 and 12.6 Kcal/mol, respectively.

  • This study discussed the optimal use of bentonite and cement for the compacted soil liner of landfill. Techniques employed in this optimization included permeability(by KSF 2322) and compressive strength(by KSF 2314). The optimal amount of these materials to the compacted soil liner was determined in accordance with a regulatory guideline of the government: that is, $k=1{\times}10^{-7}cm/sec$. The testing sods were CL(Clayey Soil) and SM(Sandy Soil), which were classified according to LSCS(Unifed Soil Classify System), The results showed that the optimal amounts of bentonite and cement to mix with the compacted CL soil liner were 5% of bentonite and 5% of cement : namely, $k=9.98{\times}10^{-8}cm/sec$ and ${\sigma}_{28}=1275kg/cm^2$. For the compacted SM soil liner. the optimal amount of bentonite was 15%, in conjunction with 5% of cement : namely, $k=9.86{\times}10^{-8}cm/sec$ and ${\sigma}_{28}=18.72kg/cm^2$. It was concluded that the compacted CL or SM soil liner, with containing the optimal amounts of bentonite and cement showed the acceptable permeability and the compressive strength, referring to a regulatory guideline of the government for construction of the landfill.

  • Stenotrophomonas sp. OK-5 capable of degrading TNT has been found to have three nitroreductase fractions designated as NTR fractions I, II, and III. NTR in a previous study. This study was attempted to reveal physiological and molecular characteristics of NTR fractions I, II, and III in strain OK-5. Several chemicals (e.g., EDTA, NaCl, dithiothreitol, $\beta$-mercaptoethanol) were tested for their effect on enzyme activity of NTRs, demonstrating that enzyme activities of NTR fractions I, II, and III from OK-5 were inhibited in the presence of $\beta$-mercaptoethanol. Substrate specificity test showed that NTR fractions I, II, and III all have over 70% enzyme activities for nitrobenzene or RDX as a substrate. N-terminal amino acid sequence of NTR fraction I from Stenotrophomonas sp. OK-5 was $^1MSDLLNADAVVQLFRTARDS^20$ and exhibited 70% sequence homology with that of NTR from Xanthomonas campestris. NTR I gene from Stenotrophomonas sp. OK-5 (SmOK5nrI) shared extensive sequence homology in deduced amino acid sequence of PCR product with NTRs from Xanthomonas campestris (81 %), X. axonopodis (75%), Streptomyces avermitilis(30%), whereas they had low homology with that from P. putida KT2440 (pnrB) (16%).

  • The superconducting properties of several HTS coated conductors (CC), which had different tape structures, fabricated by KERI, X and Y institutes were compared. We have fabricated the $high-J_c$ SmBCO CC, which has 273.5 A/cm, $1.2MA/cm^2$ and 93.5 K for $I_C,\;J_C\;and\;T_{c-zero}$, respectively, using the EDDC (Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chambers) process. Both X and Y institutes CCs, however, were purchased. The n-values of KERI, X and Y institutes CCs are 58.5, 40.7 and 31.5 in $V=1{\sim}10{\mu}V$ criterion, respectively. The in-field properties of $I_C$ at 77K were investigated and the $J_C(B)/J_C(0G)$ at 0.5 T with $B{\perp}$ ab-plane are 0.31, 0.19 and 0.24 for KERI, X and Y institutes CCs, respectively. From the $I_C-{\theta}-B$ measurement, we observed that the ab-plane of ReBCO phase was tilted for the ab-plane of substrate in the KERI and X institutes CCs. The tilted angle is about 5 degree. We confirmed that the peak shift (as an inclined texture) was observed by X-ray (102) pole figures of the SmBCO for the KERI CC.
