Ultraviolet spectrophotometric investigations have been carried out on the system of durene with iodine, bromine, iodine monochloride and iodine monobromide in carbon tetrachloride. The results reveal the formation of the charge transfer complexes of the type, $C_6H_2(CH_3)_4{\cdot}X_2$ or $C_6H_2(CH_3)_4{\cdot}IX$(X denotes halogen atoms). The equilibrium constant were obtained in consideration of that absorption maxima due to the formation of the charge transfer complexes shift to blue with the increasing temperatures. The thermodynamic parameters, ${\Delta}H,\;{\Delta}G\;and\;{\Delta}S$ for the formation of the charge transfer complexes were calculated from these values. These results indicate that the relative stabilities of the durene complexes at each temperature decrease in the order, $ICl>IBr>I_2>Br_2$. This order may be a measure of their relative acidities toward durene, which is explained in terms of the relative polarizabilities of halogen molecules and the relative electronegativities of halogen atoms. These results combined with previous study of this series indicated that the relative stabilities of the polymethylbenzene complexes with iodine increase in the order; Benzene

Mn-Ni oxide thin films for NTC thermistor application were deposited on alumina substrates by using rf magnetron sputter. Effects of various substrate temperatures and annealing temperatures on the microstructure. crystal phase, resistivity and B constant were investigated. Microstructure of the films deposited below 178$^{\circ}C$ was fibrous microcrystalline and at 32$0^{\circ}C$and 40$0^{\circ}C$their microstructure was changed to columnar grain structure. After annealing at 90$0^{\circ}C$, the microstructure was transformed to equiaxed grain structure. Most of the phases were mixture of cubic spinel and $Mn_2O_2$ The crystal phase of the film deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ was changed to cubic spinel after annealing above 700"c. As the substrate temperature increased, the resistivity and B constant were greatly decreased, and these values become low and stable after annealing between $600^{\circ}C$and $700^{\circ}C$, All thin films deposited in the present study showed NTC thermistor characteristicsstics.

The water treatment plants in Seoul Metropolitan Area, which are under Korea Water Resources Corporation(KOWACO)'s management, take water from Paldang Reservoir in Han River System for drinking water supply. There are taste and odor (T&O) problems in the finished water because the conventional treatment processes do not effectively remove the T&O compounds. As part of countermeasures for taste and odor control, KOWACO is planning to introduce advanced water treatment process such as ozone and GAC in near future. This study evaluated the removal characteristics of T&O and dissolved organic matter (DOM) to find design and operation parameters of advanced water treatment processes in a pilot-scale treatment plant. The GAC adsorption capacity for DOC in the two GAC system (GAC and $O_3$-GAC) at an EBCT of 14min was mostly exhausted after 9months. The differency of the removal efficiency of DOC between $O_3$-GAC and GAC increased with increasing operation time because the bioactivity in $O_3$-GAC process was enhanced by post-ozone process. Removal by conventional treatment was unable to reach the target TON(threshold odor number) of 3 but GAC systems at an EBCT(empty bed contact time) of 14 min were able to archive the target with few exception. During the high T&O episodes, PAC as a pretreatment together with GAC could be useful option for T&O control. However, substantial TON removal continued for more than two year (> 90,000 bed volumes). At the spiking of less concentration 26 to 61 ng/L in the influent of GAC systems, GAC absorber and $O_3$-GAC processes could meet the treatment target. The better spike control after 12 and 19 months of operation compared to that after 7 months of operation is a strong indication of biological control. The results presented in this study had shown that $O_3$-GAC process was found to be more effective for T&O control than GAC process. And the main removal mechanism in GAC systems were adsorption capacity and biodegradation.

The DNA-binding protein from starved cells (DPS), originally identified as a DNA binding protein in Escherichia coli, is known to play an important role in DNA protection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional roles of DPS in E. coli against various kinds of external stresses by comparing the properties of wild-type E. coli cells and dps knockout mutant E. coli (${\Delta}dps$) cells. Under various stress conditions, we measured the cell growth of the wild-type E. coli and the dps knockout mutant E. coli (${\Delta}dps$) cells using a UV spectrophotometer. The growth rate of the cells was compared to investigate the functional roles of the DPS protein in E. coli. In comparison to the properties of the wild-type E. coli cells, the dps knockout mutant E. coli (${\Delta}dps$) cells showed highly sensitive phenotypes under various stress conditions, such as heat shock, acidic pH, nutrient deficiency, and different concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting that DPS plays key roles in E. coli in combating diverse external stresses. The DPS DNA-binding protein in E. coli plays crucial roles in bacterial cell growth and in the protection of the cells from environmental stresses by tightly binding and preserving their DNA molecules.

This study aims to generate digital elevation model from digital satellite imagery. Digital elevation model is being increasingly used for geo-spatial information system database development and for digital map production. Image matching technique was applied to acquire conjugate image coordinates and the algorithm for digital elevation model generation is presented in this study The exterior orientation parameters of the satellite imagery is determined by bundle adjustment and standard correlation was applied for image matching conjugate of image points. The window as well as the searching area have to be defined in image matching. Different sizes of searching area were tested to study the appropriate size of the searching area. Various coordinate transformation methods were applied to improve the computation speed as well as the geometric accuracy. The results were then statistically analysed after which the searching area is determined with the safety factor. To evaluate the accuracy of digital elevation model, 3-D coordinates were extracted from 1/5000 scale topographic map and this was compared to the digital elevation model generated from satellite imagery. The algorithm for generation of digital elevation model generated from satellite imagery is presented in this study which will prove effective in the database development of geo-spatial information system and in digital elevation modelling of large areas.

Organic farming system has been considered environmental friendly and sustainable agricultural practice. However, the influence of organic farming on soil quality and environment is not well informed and controversial. We sampled and analyzed 0~15 cm and 15~30 cm depth soils of organic and conventional paddy fields in Yongin and Anseong. The electric conductivity and organic matter content of organic paddy soil were significantly less (p = 0.0097, 0.0067, respectively) than those of conventional paddy soil. Available phosphate and total phosphorus in 0~15 cm depth of organic paddy soil were $211.1{\pm}135.3$, $872.4{\pm}286.3mg/kg$, respectively, less than those of conventional paddy soil. Available phosphate amount in conventional paddy was $358.8{\pm}246.7mg/kg$, which is higher than 300 mg/kg that can cause secondary environmental contamination by runoff. The amount of total nitrogen in organic paddy soil was less than that in conventional paddy while their difference was not significant. The concentration of the heavy metals in organic paddy soil was also lower than that in conventional paddy soil but their difference was not statistically significant. Our findings demonstrate that electric conductivity, organic matter, nutrients, and heavy metals in organic paddy soil were less than those in conventional paddy soil. However, additional monitoring of soil properties for longer period is necessary to certify such a conclusion.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristic of adsorption by using a meso-porous adsorbent (MPA), and investigate the removal efficiency of geosmin which taste and odor causing compounds in drinking water supplies through batch test. The results for the adsorption isotherm was analyzed by using the Langmuir equation and Freundlich equation, generally being applied. And the study showed that the both Langmuir and Freundlich equation explains the results better. Both of pseudo-first-order model and pseudo-second-order model were respectively applied for evaluation of kinetic sorption property of geosmin onto MPA. The adsorption experiment results using MPA showed that maximum adsorption capacity of MPA was lower 7 times than that of GAC, and adsorption rate of MPA was faster 11 times than that of GAC, on the basis of pseudo-first-order model. Therefore, it was determined that MPA was effectively able to remove geosmin in drinking water supplies in short EBCT condition, but regeneration cycle in MAP process was shorter than that in conventional process.

충남 서부에 위치한 보령 지역은 트라이아스기 후기로 알려진 육성 기원의 남포층군이 널리 분포하고 있다. 남포층군은 하부로부터 하조층, 아미산층, 조계리층, 백운사층 및 성주리층으로 구분된다. 남포층군에서 산출되는 화석의 대부분은 식물 화석이며, 기타 이매패 화석, 어류 화석, 곤충의 유충 화석, 패갑류(conchostracans) 등의 화석이 산출되고 있지만, 양적으로 극히 적다. 이들 화석 중에서 체계적으로 연구가 된 것은 식물 화석뿐이고, 나머지 화석들은 전문 연구가의 부재 등에 의해 극히 미미한 연구 수준에 머물러 있다. 이번의 연구를 통해서 아미산층에서 채집된 곤충화석은 모두 107점이고, 그중에서 유충 화석이 94점, 날개 화석이 14점이다. 이들의 분류학적 연구 결과, 아미산층의 곤충화석군은 소시목, 강도래목, 날도래목, 하루살이목, 잠자리목, 바퀴벌레목, 벌목, 매미목을 비롯한 8목 11종에 이르는 유시류의 곤충들로 구성된다. 이들은 현재까지 우리나라에서 발견된 곤충화석 중 시대적으로 가장 오래된 화석이다. 유충 화석은 모두 수서 곤충의 유충화석이다. 이들의 유충은 수중생활에 적응하여 지상생활을 하는 성충과 형태적으로 큰 차이가 있는 불완전변태류 또는 외시류이다. 날개 화석은 수서곤충의 성충의 날개이고 일부는 육상 생활을 하는 곤충의 날개가 포함되어 있다. 아미산층에서 나온 곤충화석에는 육상에서 생활하는 매미목과 바퀴목도 있는데 이들은 불완전변태류에 속한다. 그러나, 똑같은 육상생활자이면서도 벌목은 완전변태류 또는 내시류에 속하는 것도 있다. 따라서 아미산층에서 산출된 곤충화석군에는 불완전변태류와 완전변태류가 섞여 있는 특징을 보인다. 이들은 실제로 같은 시대에 비슷한 장소에서 함께 생활을 했던 생물군집이지만, 서로 살던 장소가 다른 집단들이 섞여 있다는 것은 육상생활자의 일부가 죽은 후 수류에 의해 퇴적분지로 유입되어 매몰된 혼합집단으로 볼 수 있다. 현생의 하루살이목, 강도래목 등은 대표적인 유수성 곤충이고, 잠자리, 노린재 등은 대표적인 정수성 곤충으로 알려져 있다. 이들이 지층에 밀집하여 산출되는 것으로 보아 살던 장소에서 많은 퇴적물의 유입에 따른 급격한 매몰에 의해 화석화된 것으로 판단된다. 동아시아의 중생대 초기에서 보고된 곤충 화석은 양적으로도 수적으로도 그리 많지 않다. 그중에서 일본의 Mine에서 보고된 화석군이 가장 대표적이며 바퀴류(Blattaria)와 딱정벌레(Coleoptera)의 화석이 가장 큰 비율을 차지하지만, 아미산층 곤충화석군과의 공통종은 한 종도 없다. 아미산층의 곤충화석군은 비록 다양성은 쥐라기의 곤충상에 비해 떨어지지만 조성적으로는 쥐라기의 곤충상에 매우 유사하다. 육상에 사는 곤충이 화석으로 보존되기 어렵다는 것을 감안하면 아미산층에서 산출된 곤충화석은 학술적으로 매우 귀중하고 큰 의미가 있다. 보령 지역의 곤충화석은 중생대의 쥐라기와 백악기를 거쳐 현재로 이어지는 곤충 진화사의 잃어버린 고리를 이어줄 수 있는 귀중한 자료로 평가된다.

Cobalt is abundant only in some countries including Democratic Republic of the Congo. It would be necessary to secure overseas Co ores and Co extraction technology. Two kinds of matte varying the sulfur content were manufactured by smelting reduction of Co concentrate containing ~8 wt% Co, ~19 wt% Cu, and ~3 wt% Fe. The amount of Co, Cu and Fe was concentrated to 19~21 wt%, 39~41 wt%, and 7~9 wt% respectively in the resulting matte. High-pressure leaching of matte was performed in an autoclave with considering the effect of oxidizing agent, $H_2SO_4$ concentration as a lixiviant, and the amount of sulfur added to the matte. An oxidizing agent (oxygen) is necessary to improve Co leaching efficiency enabling usage of a dilute $H_2SO_4$ leaching agent. An increase in $H_2SO_4$ concentration prevents selective leaching of Co, and the sulfur content in matte has a minor influence on the Co leaching efficiency.
