An alkalophilic bacterium producing alkaline protease was isolated from waste water and solar saltern sample and identified as Bacillus pseudofirmus HS-54 based on morphological, biochemical characteristics as well as 16S-rRNA gene sequencing. The HS-54 protease was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE cellulose column chromatography, and sephadex G-100 gel filtration with a 4.0 purification fold. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated by SDS-PAGE to be 27 kDa. The optimal pH and temperature for the purified protease activity were 10.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The purified enzyme was relatively stable at the pH range of 6.0-11.0 and at the temperature below $50^{\circ}C$. This enzyme was activated by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ and inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$, $Ag^{2+}$. And this enzyme was strongly inhibited by PMSF, suggesting that it belongs to the serine protease superfamily.

Naringinase extracted from the culture media of Aspergillus nidulans was purified, and the activity was proved to be stronger by 781 fold in the part of precipitation with ammonium sulfate, and column chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Sephadex G-100. Two fractions which had the same enzyme activity were isolated by the purification. Both fractions showed the highest enzymes activity under the reaction conditions of pH 5.0 and 40$^{\circ}C$. Molecular weight of fraction I and fraction II were estimated as 78,000 and 26,000 respectively. This indicated that fraction I would be trimer of fraction II. The enzyme was inhibited by glucose and rhammose, and the Km value was calculated to be 2.3${\times}$ 10$\^$-6/ g/ml.

A mathematical model was developed to predict the concentrations of various nutrients in supernatants during aerobic digestion which is suitable to be employed in small wastewater treatment plants with such advantages as low capital cost and stable process. Significant reactions were determined with observing the behavior of nitrgen and phosphorus, and the model equations were built up in the form of simultaneous differential equations considering Mass Balance. Laboratory batch experiments were carried out at $20^{\circ}C$ and pH $7.5{\pm}0.5$ on the aerobic digestion of waste activated sludge at different solid levels. Nonlinear regression analysis was performed to estimate various reaction rate constants. The developed model can predict the behavior of Biomass N, dissolved organic N, $NH_4{^-}$-N, $NO_x{^-}$-N, and Biomass P, dissolved organic P, $PO_4{^-}$-P in aerobic digestion process. In this study, the results of simulation showed that dissolved nutrients had more effects on supernatants than nutrients in biomass, and phosphorus was more effective on supernatants than nitrogen.

N-Alkylcarbazole-3-vinylene-2-methyl-4-dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran derivatives were synthesized by dehydration, $S_N2$, Vilsmeier, and Knoevenagel condensation. They are red-emitting materials for organic light emitting device (OLED) composed of electron donor of N-alkylcabazole-3-vinylene groups and electron acceptor of 2-methyl-4-dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran groups by a conjugated structure. The structural properties of reaction products were analyzed FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy. The thermal stabilities and reactivities were measured by melting points and yields. The UV-visibles and PL properties can be determined by exitation spectra and emission spectra, respectively.

A stable suspension with a colloidal $ZrO_2$ particle was prepared by an adsorption of PV A and investigated to the effects of PV A on the dispersion and particle growth within suspension. With a suspension added the optimum concentration of PYA (about 500 ppm in this study), it was shown the property of a stable sol due to the formation of adsorbed PV A layer on surface and the reduction of an agglomeration among the particles. Most of nucleation in colloidal $ZrO_2$ were occured in the early stage of hydrolysis reaction and the plate-like monoclinic $ZrO_2$ particle were grown with an aging time. The rate of particle growth and yield for a reaction were decreased with an addition of PV A. The compact prepared from well- dispersed suspension by an addition of PV A was contained the homogeneous particle arrangement and pore distribution.

Poly(lactic acid)(PLA) nanocomposites containing various nanofillers were synthesized using the solution intercalation method. Organically modified bentonite clay (NSE), octadecylamine-graphene oxide (ODA-GO), and an NSE/ODA-GO complex were utilized as nanofillers in the fabrication of PLA hybrid films. PLA hybrid films with varying nanofiller contents in the range of 0-10 wt% were examined and compared in terms of their thermomechanical properties, morphologies, and oxygen permeabilities. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that most of the NSE and ODA-GO nanofillers were dispersed homogeneously throughout the PLA matrix on the nanoscale, although some agglomerate NSE/ODA-GO complex particles were also formed. Among the three nanofillers for PLA hybrid films, the NSE/ODA-GO complex showed the best improvement in film thermal stability. In contrast, NSE and ODA-GO exhibited the best improvement in tensile mechanical properties and oxygen barrier properties of the PLA hybrid films, respectively.

Commercial one-step rapid fecal occult blood (FOB) kit which was used as a screening test to detect traces of blood in stool samples was evaluated for the feasibility of the forensic identification of human blood. The sensitivity was determined and compared with the conventional Leucomalichite green (LMG) method. In addition, the specificity of the kit and the effects of various chemicals and environmental factors were examined. FOB kit was specific for human hemoglobin and more sensitive than LMG test (approximately 100 times). FOB kit showed positive band using at least 1,000,000-fold diluted human blood. The antigen was very stable regardless of storage temperature and boiling. The positive reaction was not affected by LMG and Luminol, the traditional tests for identification of bloodstain. As a results, FOB test kit could be effectively applied to identification of human blood at crime scene and crime laboratories.

현재 상용화 되어있는 산소/질소 분리용 고분자 분리막은 비교적 낮은 선택도를 가지고 있다. 즉, 이점은 확산도와 용해도를 조절함으로써 분리막의 투과선택도를 높일 수 있는 가능성을 보여주고 있으며 보다 높은 투과도와 투과선택도를 갖는 새로운 고분자 재료의 선택이 분리막을 통한 기체 분리나 그 상업적 이용에 절실히 요구되고 있다. PSf는 상용성, 화학적 내구력, 강도, 높은 유리전이온도와 우수한 기체투과성질을 가진 고분자로 분리막에 많이 응용되고 있다. Erb 등은 용매로 DMF(dimethylformamide)와 THF(tetrahydrofuran)를 사용하여 막을 제조하였다. 상부 흐름압력이 5atm일때 각 기체의 투과도 계수는, 헬륨이 11, 이산화탄소가 5.5, 메탄이 0.5, 질소가 0.2였으며, PSf막에 대한 각 기체의 투과는 Henry mode보다 Langmuir mode에서 더욱 우세하게 일어난다고 생각하였다. 또한 Ghosal 등은 PSf에 nitro기를 도입한 nitrated PSf의 투과특성을 조사하였다. 실험결과 nitro group이 치환된 PSf막이 nitro group이 없는 막에 비해 투과도는 낮았지만 선택도는 증가하였다. 구조가 다른 여러가지의 PSf막을 통한 기체 투과성질은 Ghem 등에 의해 밝혀졌다. Membrane-covered probes를 이용한 폴라로그램(polarogram) 방법은 산소를 측정하는데 가장 보편적인 방업ㅂ으로, 산소 탐침(oxygen probe)의 원리는 소위 효소 전극을 발전시키는데 이용되어 왔다. 효소전극은 산소와 실험하고자 하는 물질간의 특정한 효소반응에 기초를 둔 다양한 물질의 선택적 측정을 위한 것이다. 이때 센서에 응용되는 합성막은 산소에 대해 선택적인 투과를 해야하며, 상대적으로 높은 산소확산계수와 물에 대해서는 낮은 투과도를 가져야 한다. 높은 산소확산계수는 반응을 빠르게 하는 잇점이 있으며 물에 대한 낮은 투과도는 센서내의 전해질 물질을 유지보호하는 역할을 한다. 분리막이 산소전극에 이용될 경우 높은 산소 확산계수 이외에도 적절한 기계적 강도, 열적 안정성 등이 요구된다.

Prior to full-scale implementation of smart grid, the Korean government is conducting a smart grid testbed in Jeju island. However, the participants of the ongoing program are skeptical about the success of the expansion of smart grid. The concern rises from various reasons; the limits of the Korean electricity market mainly led by both the government and KEPCO, high stability and reliability of the existing electricity grid, insufficient utilization of renewable energy, and public fear of raised electricity bills. Five key issues in regards to facilitating the Korean smart grid market are extracted and evaluated. The issues are conflict of interest among participants, the effect of introducing real-time pricing, lack of customer participation of demand response, and absence of business models.
