It is one of the most important factors to enhance the efficiency of the solar collectors by in-creasing collecting efficiency and decreasing heat loss. The pulse electrodeposition method has been involved in this study to improve characteristics of the solar selective coating on 230cm${\times}$60cm substrates and electrical efficiency of the process. The composition of the electrolyte was 280 g/$\ell$ chromic acid, 15 g/$\ell$ propionic acid, and 10 g/$\ell$ appropriate additive. 230cm${\times}$60cm copper and aluminium sheets were utilized as the substrates. It has been observed that the black chrome coatings exhibited reasonable optical properties for commercialization when the plating parameters were properly controlled; the absorptance was 0.98 and 0.97 and omittance was 0.17 and 0.23 for copper and aluminium substrate, respectively. This study implies that the pulse current electrolysis method could be applied to the large scale substrates, and the various products can be avilable after the consideration of the thermal conductivity, heat transfer efficiency and cost problems of the substrates.

For the establishment of an efficient embryogenesis from microspore culture in Brassica napus L. domestic cultivar 'Tammiyuchae', four different factors affecting microspore embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration were investigated. The highest embryogenesis rate was achieved when microspores at late uninucleate to early binucleate stage were isolated from flower buds with a length of 3.0~3.5 mm. On average, 388 embryos generated from 1 ml of microspores media. The highest number of embryos was obtained when microspores were subjected to $32.5^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. Embryogenesis of 'Tammiyuchae' was increased with increasing microspore culture density up to about $5{\times}10^4ea/mL$. Gradually higher culture density repressed embryogenesis of microspores. Regeneration rate of shoots from microspore-derived embryos was observed in MS solid medium supplemented with $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA and $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA, and grew well in MS solid medium without plant growth regulators.

The superstructured $Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ was prepared by sol-gel process using a mixed solution of lithium acetate (LA) and titanium n-butoxide (TNB). The gel phase was obtained by adding ammonia water ($NH_4OH/TNB$ mole ratio of 0.35) and water ($H_2O/TNH$ mole ratio of 3.5) into the clear sol that was prepared after mixing TNB/LA mole ratio of 5/4 with AA/TNB mole raio of 0.125. It was found that the most suitable $Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ was obtained by heat treatment of xerogel at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 hrs. The synthesized $Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ showed an initial discharge capacity of 174 mAh/g and the capacity loss of about 27.3% during 25 cycles in Li/1M $LiClO_4(in\;PC)/Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ at current density of $0.15mA/cm^2$ and the voltage range of 0.5~3.0 V.

This study was performed to determine the ethanol ratios (30%, 50%, 70%, and 90%) of extraction solvent of Seomaeyakssuk (Artemisia Argyi H.) prepared using different methods (drying at room temperature [D], aging at $60^{\circ}C$ for 7 days after drying [AD], and roasting for 30 min at $160^{\circ}C$ after drying [RD]). The extract yield of the D extracts was lower than that of the AD and RD extracts, but the ethanol concentration of extract solvent did not affect. The L, a, and b values of the D extracts were highest, whereas those of the AD extracts were lowest. No clear trend was observed in the ethanol ratios. The soluble solids, total phenol, total flavonoid, jaceosidin, and eupatilin contents of each extract varied significantly, with RD > AD > D. The soluble solids significantly increased by ethanol ratio of extraction solvent, but other phytochemicals contents of 50% and 70% ethanol extracts were higher than others without affecting the processing methods. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was highest (77.71%) in the 70% ethanol extract obtained from RD. 2,2-azinbis-(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulphonate(ABTS) radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in 30-70% ethanol extract than 90% ethanol extract from RD. The results suggest that the contents of active ingredients and radical scavenging activity of ethanol extracts from Seomaeyakssuk were highest in the RD extract using 50-70% ethanol.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are significant opportunistic pathogens in hospitals and are resistant to most antibiotics. Multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA) and A. baumannii (MDRAB) cause severe human nosocomial infections and are more difficult to treat than methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Bifidobacteria are among of the most beneficial probiotics and have been widely studied for their antimicrobial activities. The present study explored the antimicrobial activity of Bifidobacterium sp. isolated from healthy Koreans against MDRPA and MDRAB. The antimicrobial activity of the isolates against MDRPA and MDRAB, which are resistant to ciprofloxacin, tobramycin, gentamicin, meropenem, and ceftazidime, was determined by modified broth microdilution methods using absorbance. Among all tested bifidobacteria isolates (nine B. adolescentis, three B. longum, and two B. pseudocatenulatum), the culture supernatant of B. pseudocatenulatum SPM1309 showed a strong growth inhibitory effect against MDRPA and MDRAB. No change in the turbidity of the mixture was observed during incubation, and its inhibitory effect occurred through bacteriostastic action. Moreover, the antibacterial activity was observed in the fraction with molecular weights <10 kDa of bifidobacteria culture supernatant, and the active fraction was heat-stable because it maintained its activity when heated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The results suggest that this Bifidobacterium strain could have potential applications for alternative therapy in MDRPA and MDRAB infections.

After resection of intraarticular, periacetabulum(P2) and pubic rami(P23) and extraarticular, proximal femur(P2-H12) by Enneking classification, reconstruction is very difficult. We experienced three cases of saddle prostheses for reconstruction after P2, P23, and P2-H12 resection in pelvic malignancies. Case 1 was a high grade chondrosarcoma in 36 year-old-man and P2 resection was done. But he died of disease 19 months after operation. Case 2 was a malignant giant cell tumor in 32 year-old-woman. P23 resection was given and she is disease-free 32 months after operation. Case 3 was an osteosarcoma of 27-year-old-man and P2-H12 resection was performed and he is disease-free postoperative 12 months now. According to MSTS functional evaluatin system, all three patients showed no pain(5), intermediate function(2), emotinally satisfied(3), one cane or crutch supported(1), limited walking(3), and minor cosmetic gait(3). There was no significant complication and no dislocation except intermittent inguinal hernia in case 2. All patients started crutch walking 3 weeks after operation. Around 6 months postoperatively, the preserved iliac wing(P1 component) was hypertrophied enough to endure the full weight bearing. All could have squating and kneeling positions. In conclusion, saddle prosthesis would be a very useful method of reconstruction after P2, P23, and/or H1-2 resection to shorten the operation time and to reduce the infection rate without significant loss of function.

$LiMO_{2}(M=Co,Ni)$ samples were synthesized with $Li_{2}CO_{3},\;Co_{3}O_{4}$, and NiO by the solid-state reaction method. In the case of $LiCoO_{2}$, at low temperature$(T=400^{\circ}C)$ spinel structure was synthesized and the obtained spinel phase was transformed to layered phase at high temperature$(T\ge600^{\circ}C)$. The phase transition behaviors of $LiCoO_{2}$ were investigated with various heating temperature and time. The rate of transition was directly proportional to the concentrations of reactant, and activation energy of reaction was around 6.76 kcal/mol. When CoO(rock salt structure) was used as a starting material instead of $Co_{3}O_{4}$(spinel structure), layered structure of $LiCoO_{2}$ was obtained at low temperature. In the case of $LiNiO_{2}$ the transition from layered structure to rock salt structure occurred easily by disordering/ordering reaction, but did not occur in $LiCoO_{2}$. The difference in metal ion radii in $LiCoO_{2}$ and $LiNiO_{2}$ results in different behaviors of phase transitions.

Transiton-metal gallides attract wide interest as a candidate for high-temperature structural materials. In a wide composition range, in which it was known that Co-Ga alloy have CsCl (B2) crystallographic structure, a systematic study on the correlation between physical properties and electronic structures of Co-gallides was performed. $Co_{l-x}Ga$ $_{x}$ alloys ($0.35\leq$x$\leq0.55$) were prepared by arc-melting method and were annealed at $1000 ^{\circ}C$ for 48hour to increase the homogeneity. In this composition range all the prepared alloys have the CsCl (B2) structure. The chemical states and the electronic structure were studied by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and exhibit different physical properties depending on the composition. During the annealing, a significant oxidation has happened and all the oxygen atoms are incorporated with the Ga atoms to form a $Ga_2O_3$ phase. In a view point of electronic structure, the $Co_{l-x}Ga$ $_{x}$ alloys were formed by the Ga(p) - Co(d) hybridization.

$Bi_2Te_3$계 열전반도체 재료는 200 ~ 400K 정도의 저온에서 에너지 변환 효율이 가장 높은 재료로서 열전냉각 및 발전재료로 제조볍 및 특성에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 전자냉각 모듈의 제조에는 P형 및 N형 $Bi_2Te_3$계 단결정이 주로 사용되고 있으나. $Bi_2Te_3$ 단결정은 C축에 수직한 벽개면을 따라 균열이 쉽게 전파하기 때문에 소자 가공사 수윤 저하가 가장 큰 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이에 따라 최근 열전재료의 가공방법에 따른 회수율 증가 및 열전특성 향상에 관한 열간압출, 단조와 같은 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 가스분사법(gas atomizer)을 이용하여 용질원자 편석의 감소, 고용도의 증가,균일고용체 형성, 결정립미세화 둥 급속응고의 장점을 이용하여 화학적으로 균질한$Bi_2Te_3$계 열전재료 분말을 제조하고, 제조된 분발을 압출가공하여 기계적성질, 소자의 가공성 및 열전 성능 지수율 향상시키는데 연구 목적이 있다. 본 설험에서는 99.9%이상의 고순도 Bi.

The most active strain for the amylase activity from the native Youngkwang koji, was isolated and identified as Aspergjllus awamori. The optimal conditions for the production of ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase were investigated and the properties of these enzymes were also examined. Maximum yields of ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase were obtained at $30^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0 for days. The production of these two enzymes were increased with the addition of maltose, urea, $K_2HPO_4$, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, and $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$. The activities of these enzymes were maximized at $50^{\circ}C$, $pH\;5{\sim}6$. The heat stabilites of ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase were maintained at $50^{\circ}C$ for 20min and 40min, respectively. Also, the addtion of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, $K_2HPO_4$, and $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ salt increased the heat stabilities of these enzymes.
