Duplex Stainless Steel의 Plasma Nitriding 처리 시 가스량과 처리온도가 표면 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $N_2$함량 및 처리 온도가 각각 10%에서 25%로 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $430^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라서 질소가 과고용된 S-phase의 두께 및 표면 경도가 증가하였으나, 내부 식성은 $Cr_2N$ 및 $(Fe,Cr)_4N$이 석출하여 감소하였다. 질소를 10%로 고정하고 $CH_4$함량을 증가시키면 1%일 때 S-phase의 두께가 최대가 되며 그이후로 감소하였다. 처리온도 $400^{\circ}C$일 때 질소함량이 10%, $CH_4$ 함량이 5%일 경우 내식성이 모재보다 증가하였다.

콩과식물인 전동싸리를 대상으로 통제된 조건하에서 Al과 Co처리에 따른 식물체의 생장반응과 식물체내 중금속의 축적정도 및 근류의 질소고정 활성의 변화를 조사한 결과 중금속은 Co가 Al보다 높게 축적되었고, 처리 초기에는 지하부를, 장기간 처리시는 광합성 기관의 생장을 억제했는데, Co 처리는 영향이 미약하였으나, Al처리구는 다소 심각한 영향을 주었으며, 생장에 비해 질소고정계의 피해가 현저하였다. 전동싸리는 흡수된 중금속을 뿌리수준에서 조절함으로써 광합성기관으로 이동을 억제하는 중금속에 대한 생장적응을 나타내었다. 결국 전동싸리는 30ppm의 중금속 처리시 뿌리 수준에서 조절함으로써 광합성기관으로 전이를 차단하여 금속에 대한 내성 나타내었고, Al이 Co보다 심각한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The present study investigates the effects of elevated soil nitrogen on growth and decomposition of Oryza sativa shoots. The plants were cultivated in greenhouse until leaf senescence and the total biomass of the plant increased 1.9 times at nitrogen addition plot. Total C and N content in shoot increased; however, lignin, C/N, and lignin/N levels decreased in the N-treated soil. The shoot litters collected from the control and N-treated soil were tested for decay and microbial biomass, $CO_2$ evolution, and enzyme activities during decomposition on the control and N-treated soil at $25^{\circ}C$ microcosm. The remaining mass of the shoot litter was approximately 6% higher in the litter collected from the control soil (53.0%) than the litter collected from high N-treated soil (47.1%). However, the high N-containing litter exhibited faster decay in the control soil than in the N-treated soil. The litter containing high N, low C/N, and low lignin/N showed a higher decomposition rate than that of low quality litter. The N-addition showed decreased microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase activity in soil; however, it exhibited high microbial biomass N and urease activity in soil. When the high N-containing litter decays on the N-treated soil, the microbial biomass C increased rapidly at the initial phase of decomposition and decreased thereafter, and dehydrogenase activity was less that of other treatment; however, there was no effect on the microbial biomass N. The urease in the decomposing litter was highest during the early decomposition stage and dramatically decreased thereafter. The present findings suggested that the N-addition increased N content in litter, but inhibited the decomposition process of above-ground biomass in terrestrial ecosystems.

To elucidate the physiological responses of rice plants to the essential mineral silicon (Si), we assessed the effects of treatments with Si, nitrogen ($NH_4NO_3$; ammonium nitrate), and calcium ($CaCl_2$; calcium chloride), independently or in combination on mineral uptake rates and levels of the hormones abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin ($GA_1$) and jasmonic acid (JA). We found that nitrogen and calcium uptake was inhibited by Si application. However, solo application of nitrogen or calcium did not affect Si uptake. Compared to the untreated plants, the application of Si, $NH_4NO_3$ or $CaCl_2$ increased the endogenous hormone levels in treated plants. In particular, the concentrations of $GA_1$ and JA increased significantly after the application of Si or $NH_4NO_3$. The level of $GA_1$ observed after a treatment (solo or combine) with Si, and $NH_4NO_3$ was higher than that of the control. By contrast, independent application of $CaCl_2$ or a combined treatment with Si and $CaCl_2$ did not alter $GA_1$ levels. The highest level of $GA_1$ was present in plants given a combination treatment of Si and $NH_4NO_3$. This effect was observed at all time points (6 h, 12 h and 24 h). Endogenous JA contents were higher in all treatments than the control. In particular, a combination treatment with Si and $NH_4NO_3$ significantly increased the JA levels in plants compared to other treatments at all time points. A small increase in JA levels was observed after 6 h in plants given the $CaCl_2$ treatment. However, JA levels did not differ between plants given a $CaCl_2$ treatment and controls after 12 h or 24 h of exposure. We conclude that treatment with $CaCl_2$ alone does not affect endogenous JA levels in the short term. Endogenous ABA contents did not show any differences among the various treatments.

Development of T. urticae was studied on the leaves of eggplant grown in hydroponics with nitrogen contents of 5 mM, 10 mM, 30 mM, and 60 mM. As the nitrogen level in hydroponics increased, it also increased in the plant whereas that of K, Ca, and Mg decreased. More nitrogen in hydroponics resulted in increased contents of water and crude protein, and decreased ash, carbohydrates, and fibers within the plant. Biomass was the heaviest as 989.5 g at 10 mM and the lightest at 60 mM. Leaf thickness and the content of chlorophyll increased as the content of nitrogen increased. Laboratory leaf disc tests obtained from plants grown at various nitrogen levels revealed that feeding and oviposition preferences of T. urticae were high at 30 mM and low at 5 mM. Ratio of damaged leaf by naturally occurring T. urticae on eggplants of 99 days post-transplant in the greenhouse was the highest as 98% at 60 mM. Degrees of damage on eggplants with and without T. urticae infestation turned up more as the differences in the levels of nitrogen in the hydroponics get bigger. No definite differences in the rate of T. urticae development was found between nitrogen treatment levels but, mortalities in immature stages dropped as the nitrogen levels went up. Adult longevity was the longest of 11.9 for female and 6.9 days for male at 60 mM. Oviposition period was also the longest as 11.7 days at 60 mM and shortened as the level of nitrogen decreased. The number of eggs oviposited was the most as 144.4 at 60 mM while it was the least as 41.0 at 5 mM. Sex ratio was 0.75 in favor of female at 10 mM. $R_o$ and T increased, no trends were detected in $r_m\;and\;{\lambda}$, while Dt decreased as the levels of nitrogen went up.

By using liquid and gaseous nitrogen as simulants, effects of pintle opening distance and simulant supplying condition on spray from pintle injector were investigated qualitatively. The experiment was performed by fixing the liquid supply pressure and varying the opening of the pintle and the supply pressure of gaseous nitrogen. Shadowgraph method with CCD camera was used for image visualization, and the differences of liquid-gas spray were compared by image post processing. In case of liquid nitrogen single injection, as the opening distance was increased, the injection speed was decreased. Therefore, the end of liquid sheet were converged to the center of spray. In the case of liquid nitrogen/Gaseous nitrogen spray, although shadowgraph images look similar to each other, It is shown that it can be analysed by image post processing.

산화질소는 생리적 농도에서 세포내 신호전달자로 작용하지만 높은 농도에서는 세포독성을 일으킨다. 최근 치은 섬유아세포와 치주인대 섬유아세포는 산화질소 합성효소를 가지고 있고 세균의 lipopolysaccharide나 cytokine에 의해 대량의 높은 농도의 산화질소가 합성된다는 보고가 있음에도 지금까지 치은 조직에서 산화질소의 세포독성에 대한 연구는 아직 이루어 지지않고 있다. 본 연구는 사람의 치은 섬유아세포에서, 산화질소유도세포 고사기전을 밝히는데 목적이 있다. 세포 생장력은 MTT 방법으로 측정하였고, 세포의 형태적 변화는 Diff-Quick 염색법으로 조사하였다. Bcl-2 famly와 Fas 발현 정도는 RT-PCR 방법에 의해 확인하였으며, caspase-3, -8 와 -9의 활성은 spectrophotometer로 reactive oxygen species (ROS)는 형광분광계에 의해 측정되었다. 미토콘드리아에서 세포질로 분비된 cytochrome c는 western blot으로 조사하였다. 산화질소 유리제인 sodium nitroprusside (SNP) 처리는 사람 섬유아세포의 생존률을 시간과 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰고, 세포용적축소, 염색사 용축, DNA 절편화를 일으켰다. 또한, SNP 처리로 미토콘드리아에서 세포질로 유리되는 cytochrome c 양이 증가되었고, caspase-9 과 caspase-3 의 활성이 증가되었다. 한편, SNP 처리에 의해 death receptor 구성요소인 Fas 발현이 증가되었고, caspase-8의 활성이 증가되었다. Bcl-2 family 에 대한 RT-PCR 분석결과, 세포고사를 억제하는 Bcl-2 발현은 감소되었으나 세포고사를 자극하는 Bax와 Bid의 발현은 증가되었다. Soluble guanylate cyclase 억제제인 ODQ는 SNP에 의한 세포 생존율 감소를 차단하지 못했다. 따라서, 본 실험의 결과들은 사람 섬유아세포에서 산화질소유도 세포고사에 Bcl-2 family나 ROS가 매개하는 미토콘드리아 의존 및 death receptor 의존 세포고사기전이 관여함을 시사하였다.

The treatment of plated wastewater is subject to various and complex processes depending on the pH, heavy metal, and cyanide content of the wastewater. Alkali chlorine treatment using NaOCl is commonly used for cyanide treatment. However, if ammonia and cyanide are present simultaneously, NaOCl is consumed excessively to treat ammonia. To solve this problem, this study investigated 1) the consumption of NaOCl according to ammonia concentration in the alkaline chlorine method and 2) whether ferrate (VI) could selectively treat the cyanide. Experiments using simulated wastewater showed that the higher the ammonia concentration, the lower the cyanide removal rate, and the linear increase in NaOCl consumption according to the ammonia concentration. Removal of cyanide using ferrate (VI) confirmed the removal of cyanide regardless of ammonia concentration. Moreover, the removal rate of ammonia was low, so it was confirmed that the ferrate (VI) selectively eliminated the cyanide. The cyanide removal efficiency of ferrate (VI) was higher with lower pH and showed more than 99% regardless of the ferrate (VI) injection amount. The actual application to plated wastewater showed a high removal ratio of over 99% when the input mole ratio of ferrate (VI) and cyanide was 1:1, consistent with the molarity of the stoichiometry reaction method, which selectively removes cyanide from actual wastewater containing ammonia and other pollutants like the result of simulated wastewater.

This study was conducted to evaluate fertigation effects of pig slurry (PS) and chemical fertilizer (CF) in tomato by analyzing the growth and yield, nutrient content and uptake, nutrient use efficiency, and soil characteristics in greenhouse cultivation. The treatments compared were; no-fertilizer, two different levels of PS (26 mg $L^{-1}$ and 52 mg $L^{-1}$), and a control treatment of chemical fertilizer. There was no significant difference in growth and yield between PS and CF treatments. however, yield reduction was observed in PS 26 mg $L^{-1}$ treatment. The N-utilization efficiency in CF treatment was similar to that of PS 52 mg $L^{-1}$ treatment. Nutrient utilization efficiency decreased in order of potassium (K), nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) with 29.2~43.3% in K, 15.8~36.7% in N, and 3.0~6.3% in P. In soil chemical characteristics, soil pH in PS treatment was higher than in CF treatment. In contrast, nitrate content in soil was higher in CF treatment than in PS treatment. The content of exchangeable K in soil was higher in PS and CF 52 mg $L^{-1}$ treatments. There was no significant difference in exchangeable Ca and Mg among those treatments. Therefore, it can be concluded that chemical fertilizers can be substituted by PS based on soil chemical analysis in tomato fertigation culture.

Growth and nutrients of Xinjiang poplar (Populus alba var. pyramidalis) seedlings treated with fertilizers and soil amendments were examined in nursery and windbreak at Dengkou after 6 months of treatments in Inner Mongolia, China. Soil water content was $10\%$ higher than that at most soils in desert. Height and diameter growth and foliar nitrogen (N) concentration were higher at N and nitrogen plus phosphorus (N+P) fertilizer treatments than other treatments. However, there were no differences in foliar P concentration among treatments in windbreak and foliar P concentration was higher at control than at other treatments in nursery. Yuho treatment increased height and diameter growth. Nitrogen appeared an influenciug factor for early growth of Xinjiang poplar, and P had a minor affect on growth. More long-time studies were needed to elucidate the effects of fertilizers and soil amendments on growth and nutrients of Xinjiang poplar.
