백금 스퍼터 증착시 아르곤에 산소와 같은 첨가 가스를 사용할 경우 산화막에 대한 접착력이 좋아지며 백금 박막의 우선배향성을 조절할 수 있음이 알려져 있다. 이러한 첨가 가스는 백금 박막에 상당량 포함되며 스퍼터링 후 열처리 과정에서 탈착되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 후열처리 도중 첨가 가스의 탈착 거동이 백금 박막의 미세구조, 조성 및 전기 전도도 등과 같은 제반 물성에 영향을 미칠 것이라 추정된다. 본 연구에서는 백금의 스퍼터링 시 질소를 첨가하여 질소가 포함된 백금 박막을 증착한 후 질소 탈착 거동을 연구하기 위해 실시간 타원해석기(in situ ellipsometer)를 이용하여 진공열처리(15mTorr)하면서 온도변화에 따른 유효굴절율(n)과 소광계수(k) 값을 구하였다. 또한 산소를 첨가하여 얻은 백금 박막의 결과와 비교하여 백금 박막내에 포함된 산소와 질소의 탈착 거동의 차이를 조사하였다. 산소를 이용하여 우선배향성이 (200)으로 조절된 박막의 경우 n과 k의 급격한 변화가 관찰되었으며 이로부터 55$0^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 산소가 급격히 빠져나감을 추측할 수 있었으며 열처리 후에는 백금 bulk 값에 가까운 값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 질소를 사용하여 (200)으로 우선배향성이 조절된 박막의 경우 n,k 값의 후열처리 도중의 변화 양상은 스퍼터링 압력에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 22mTorr에서 스퍼터링한 박막의 경우 23$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 굴절률과 미세구조의 변화가 있음을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 10mTorr에서 스퍼터링한 시편의 경우 굴절률의 변화양상은 산소를 상요한 경우와 매우 유사한 거동을 나타내지만 열처리 후에는 상대적으로 낮은 n,k 값을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 열처리 시편의 미세구조 변화에 대한 분석 결과 산소 사용의 경우는 측정온도 범위내에서는 후 열처리 후에도 박막내에 hole이나 hillock 등이 관찰되지 않아 bulk 값에 가까운 n, k 값을 가지지만, 질소 사용의 경우는 hole, 표면 거칠기, 혹은 스퍼터링 중에 인입된 질소의 탈착이 완전히 이루어지지 못해 bulk 값과 다르게 나온 것으로 생각된다.

This experiment was carried out to clarify the causes of sterility in terms of pollination characteristics for the sterile-type cold damage as influenced by amount of nitrogen application and shading conditions in rice plants. The results obtained are as follows: The number of young microspore per anther was not changed greatly by amount of nitrogen application. The number of ripened pollen grains per anther decreased according to increase in nitrogen application and shading degree, but the anther length and stigma length were not significantly affected by those factors. The number of pollen grains on stigma decreased by intense shading. The fertility decreased with increased nitrogen application and intensified shading. The elongation of auricle distance per day was less in less nitrogen application and intense shading. The internode length of the first and the second from the top were shortened with intense shading, but that of the fourth was elongated. The number of spikelet per panicle decreased with increase in shading intensity.

The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility for water treatment, and to evaluate the efficiency of simultaneous removal of ammonium and nitrate by the surface modified zeocarbon. The surface modification was done by acid treatment using HCl. As a result of modification, strength of the modified zeocarbon was enhanced about 62% higher than that of in original one. This indicates that the modified zeocarbon was suitable for the application of water treatment. In the removal experiments of ammonium and nitrate, the removal efficiency showed about two times higher in the modified zeocarbon and the dependences of pH and temperature were found to be minimized. This indicates that the modified zeocarbon was effective for simultaneous removal of ammonium and nitrate from aqueous solution. Consequently, our results could be used as basic data to design of one-stage ammonium/nitrate simultaneous removal system.

The feasibility of algae as means of removing nitrogen and phosphorus from secondary treated swine wastewater was studied. Among the tested 7 species of Chlorella vulgaris (UTEX 265), Chlorella sp. GE 21, Botryococcus braunii (UTEX 572), Botryococcus sp. GE 24, Scenedesmus quadricauda, Phormidium sp. GE 2, and Spirulina maxima (UTEX 2342), C. vulgaris was selected for its fast growth and abilities to remove nitrogen and phosphorus and to produce algal biomass from swine wastewater. C. vulgaris grew well at 35$^{\circ}C$, and the optimum initial pH for growth was 8.0. In the effect of light intensity, the growth of C. vulgaris was limited under a light intensity of less than 40 ${\mu}$E/$m^2$/s. The secondary treated swine wastewater contained 58.7 mg/l of total nitrogen and 14.7 mg/l of total phosphorus, and was diluted to 75, 50, and 25% with groundwater to be treated. Nitrogen and phosphorus were removed by C. vulgaris in all diluted swine wastewaters among which the most effective removal was in 75% swine wastewater (swine wastewater:groundwater=3:1). There was a tendency of linear increase in nitrogen and phosphorus removal time with increasing concentration of swine wastewater. Under the optimized culture condition, total nitrogen and total phosphorus were effectively removed to 95.3% and 96.0%, respectively, in 25% swine wastewater after 4-day incubation.

The characteristics of the nitrogen adsorption with natural zeolite produced in Kampo area according to the chemical treatment by HCl and/or NaOH or the exchanging metal ion were investigated in the pressure range of 100~760torr at $25^{\circ}C$. The amount of nitrogen adsorption was followed at increment in the order of NaOH treatment>nontreatment>HCl treatment. Adsorption amount on natural zeolite treated with 0.5N-HCl/NaOH was improved about 200%, whereas that on natural zeolite treated with 0.5N-NaOH/HCl was decreased. When metal ion of natural zeolite was exchanged with $Na^+$, $K^+$ and $Cs^+$, adsorption amount of nitrogen was decreased as the size of cation was increased. But metal ion of natural zeolite was exchanged with $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$, the amount of nitrogen adsorption was increased.

To investigate the effects of the exogenous N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ supply level on the nitrate assimilation and growth during the vegetative growth stage, and on the accumulation of organic reserves during the successive regrowth period, dry matter (DM), the amount of nitrogenous compounds, total N and starch in alfalfa plants grown hydroponically with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM KN $O_3$ was estimated, respectively, during vegetative growth period and two cycle of regrowth. When compared with DMs and N contents in various N compounds in the organs grown with 1.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , N starvation symptoms were found in 0.2 mM and a depressive effect was observed in 3.0 mM after 10 weeks of vegetative growth. Total starch content in root system gown with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ during the first regrowth was 50.96, 15.47 and 6.37 mg plant$^{-1}$, respectively. Starch was contained mainly in taproots. The starch content was not significantly changed by 24 days of the second regrowth with 1.0 mM N $H_4$N0$_3$. Total nitrogen content in root system grown with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ during the first regrowth was 6.66, 8.43 and 11.09 mg plant$^{-1}$ , respectively. Nitrogen was contained mainly in lateral roots; 80% (in 0.2 mM), 74% (1.0 mM) and 76% (3.0 mM) of total nitrogen in root system. Total N content in root system at the end of the second regrowth also closely affected by the N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ supply level during the first regrowth. These results suggest that the level of N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ may strongly influence the accumulation of organic reserves in root system, and that the initial level of organic reserves for the successive regrowth was one of the determinants for shoot regrowth.

In most agricultural soils, ammonium ($NH_4{^+}$) from fertilizer is quickly converted to nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) by the process of nitrification which is crucial to the efficiency of N fertilizers and their impact on the environment. The salinity significantly affects efficiency of N fertilizer in reclaimed tidal soil, and the soil pH may influence the conversion rate of ammonium to nitrate and ultimately affect nitrogen losses from the soil profile. Several results suggest that pH has important effects on recovery of fall-applied N in the spring if field conditions are favorable for leaching and denitrification except that effects of soil pH are not serious under unfavorable conditions for N loss by these mechanisms. Soil pH, therefore, deserves attention as an important factor in the newly reclaimed tidal soils with applying N. However, fate of N studies in a newly reclaimed tidal soils have been rarely studied, especially under the conditions of saline-sodic and high pH. Therefore, understanding the fate of nitrogen species transformed from urea treated into the reclaimed tidal soil is important for nutrient management and environmental quality. In this article, we reviewed yields of rice and fate of nitrogen with respect to the properties of reclaimed tidal soils.

To determine nutritive value and suitability of deep-stacked broiler litter for deer, the influence of supplementary levels of broiler litter on digestibility, dry matter intake, and nitrogen balance was investigated in male spotted deer (Cervus nippon) fed a commercial mixed(complete) ration. The deep-stacked and ground broiler litter was supplemented at the level of 0%(Control), 15%(T1) and 30%(T2) on the basis of fresh matter to the mixed ration. All treatments had similar palatability at about 3% body weight of dry matter intake. Dry matter digestibility was highest in Control and lowest in T2(P<0.05). Digestibility of crude protein was lowest(P<0.05) in T2. Dry matter and digestible dry matter intake was similar in all treatments. Daily body weight gain was not affected by treatments. Feeding 15 or 30% of broiler litter to male deer resulted in similar nitrogen intake, fecal nitrogen excretion and daily nitrogen retention(g/d), compared with feeding Control. These results suggest that up to 30% of broiler litter may be fed to male deer without deleterious effects on deer performance.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the optimum nitrogen fertilization conditions for the production of high-quality Rhodiola rosea L. in forcing culture. Up until 48 kg N/10 a of both urea and ammonium sulfate, dry matter yield of root of Rhodiola rosea L. tended to increase with increase in application rates, however, it decreased thereafter in higher application rates. In the case of urea, the content of salidroside in the root of the Rhodiola rosea L. appeared to decrease rapidly from the application rates of 64 kg N/10 a and over. Meanwhile, the content of salidroside in the root tended to decrease gradually with the application rates exceeding 64 kg N/10 a of ammonium sulfate. The optimum fertilization rates of urea and ammonium sulfate was 45-8-20-10-10 (N-P-K-Ca-Mg) kg/10 a according to the curvilinear regression equation. However, considering the nitrogen accumulation in soil, nitrogen translocation into the plant, and dry matter yield and content of salidroside in the root of Rhodiola rosea L., the optimum fertilization rates of urea and ammonium sulfate would be 40-8-20-10-10 kg/10 a and 35-8-20-10-10 kg/10 a, respectively.

This study were conducted to evaluate the N mineralization and nitrification rates and to estimate the losses of total carbon and nitrogen by runoff water in soils cooperated with organic composts and bio-char during corn cultivation. For the experiment, the soil texture used in this study was clay loam, and application rates of chemical fertilizer and bio-char were $230-107-190kg\;ha^{-1}$($N-P_2O_5-K_2O$) as recommended amount after soil test and 0.2% to soil weight. The soil samples were periodically taken at every 15 day intervals during the experimental periods. The treatments were consisted of cow compost, pig compost, swine digestate from aerobic digestion system, and their bio-char cooperation. For N mineralization and nitrification rates, it was shown that there were generally low in the soil cooperated with bio-char as compared to the only application plots of different organic composts except for 47 days after sowing. Also, they were observed to be highest in the application plot of swine digestate from aerobic digestion system. For loss of total carbon by run-off water, it was ranged from 1.5 to $3.0kg\;ha^{-1}$ in the different organic compost treatment plots. However, Loss of total carbon with bio-char could be reduced at $0.4kg\;ha^{-1}$ in PC treatment plot. Also, with application of bio-char, total nitrogen was estimated to be reduced at 4.2 (15.1%) and $3.8(11.8%)kg\;ha^{-1}$ in application plots of pig compost and swine aerobic digestate, respectively.
