This paper is intended as an application of the biological rope media sedimentation tank using biodegradability of BAC(Biological activated carbon) to the drinking water treatment system for the removal of NOM. The removal of DOC(Dissolved organic carbon), UV absorbance(UV$\_$254/), and turbidity were evaluated under various operation condition of a biological rope media sedimentation tank such as raw water-media process (Media 1), ozonation-media process (Media 2), and ozonation-coagulation/sedimentation-media process (Media 3). The raw water had DOC concentration of 1.3∼3.4 mg/L, UV$\_$254/ of 0.027∼0.039 cm$\^$-1/, and turbidity of 0.3∼4.5 NTU, respectively. The average DOC concentration were 2.2 mg/L in media 1, 1.8 mg/L in media 2, and 1.3 mg/l in media 3 from raw water, respectively. On the other hand, the DOC concentration in conventional sedimentation tank was 1.5 mg/l. Higher removal of the DOC was noted in media 3 than media 1 and media 2. The UV$\_$254/ of the treated water were 0.037 cm$\^$-1/ in media 1, 0.027 cm$\^$-1/ in media 2, and 0.014 cm$\^$-1/ in media 3 from raw water, respectively The UV$\_$254/ in conventional sedimentation tank was 0.014 cm$\^$-1/ which is similar to that of media 3. Average turbidity of the treated water was 1.1 NTU in media 1, 0.9 NTU in media 2, and 0.5 NTU in media 3, respectively. It is expected that the biological rope media sedimentation tank is a good alternative over the conventional sedimentation process from these results.

Direct shoot regeneration from leaf or internode or petiole segments was conducted in 33 cultivars of chrysanthemum. Shoot regeneration rates varied according to cultivars, culture media, and explant types. The high shoot regeneration rate of more than 70% in 15 cultivars (‘Pink Pangpang’, ‘Orange Memory’, ‘Relance’, ‘Zinba’, ‘Beakma’, ‘Innocence’, ‘Sunny Pangpang’, ‘Euro Yellow’, ‘Dublin’, ‘Boramae’, ‘Peak’, ‘Euro White’, ‘Vesuvio White’, ‘Linneker Salmon’ and ‘Pink Pride’) and 2 ones (‘Forward’ and ‘Agason’) was obtained from the segments of leaves and internodes, respectively, cultured on MS medium containing 1.0 mg-$L^{-1}$ BAP, 0.5 mg-$L^{-1}$ IAA and 30 g-$L^{-1}$ sucrose. That in 6 cultivars (‘Shuhonochikara’, ‘Hakunosen’, ‘Whitney Pangpang’, ‘Plaisir D’Amour’, ‘Grace’ and ‘Kumsu’) was observed from the segments of leaves or internodes cultured on 1/2 MS medium 1.0 mg-$L^{-1}$ BAP, 0.5 mg-$L^{-1}$ IAA and 15 g-$L^{-1}$ sucrose In case of 3 cultivars (‘Ilweol’, ‘Puma White’ and ‘Sharon’), when internode explants excised from mother plants, which were pre-cultured on MS medium containing 2 g-$L^{-1}$ activated charcoal and 30 g-$L^{-1}$ sucrose for two months in the dark, and cultured on MS medium containing 1.0 mg-$L^{-1}$ BAP, 0.5 mg-$L^{-1}$ IAA and 30 g-$L^{-1}$ sucrose, that was shown. Seven cultivars including ‘Puma Yellow’, ‘Argus’, ‘Yes Morning’, ‘Whiparam’, ‘Hakunohikari’, ‘Charming Eye’ and ‘Moon light’ requires more improved culture conditions. Tissues with the highest shoot regeneration rate were in descending order, leaf, petiole, and internode segments.

Lactobacillus casei IFO 3012 and Kluyveromyces fragilis(KFCC 35458) were cultured together in Soymilk to investigate the growth characteristics and the conditions suitable for acid Production. L. casei produced more amount of acid rapidly when cultured with K. fragilis in soymilk than when cultured singly. The optimum conditions for acid production by the mixed cultures of L. casei and K. fragilis were achieved with a temperature of $35-37^{\circ}C$, a 1:5-1:9(O.D 660) ratio of L. casei to K. fragilis at inoculum, a 1.0 level of sucrose fortification or a 2.0% level of skim milk powder fortification and a culture time of 24hr. Under these conditions the amounts of acid produced by the single culture of L. casei and the mixed cultures with K. fragilis were 0.31% and 0.44% in soymilk, 0.43% and 0.97%, respectively, in soymilk fortified with 1.0% level of sucrose. These indicate that the amount of acid produced by mixed cultures is about 1.42 fold greater in soymilk and about 2.26 fold greater in soymilk fortified with 1.0% level of sucrose than that produced by the single culture of L. casei. The amount of acid produced in soymilk fortified with 2.0% level of skim milk powder was 1.0 level for both of the single culture of L. casei and the mixed cultures of L. casei and K. fragilis after 24hr incubation. In soymilk fortified with skim milk power less than 1.5 the mixed culture with K. fragilis showed higher content of acid than the single culture of L. casei only.

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of plant growth regulators on in vitro flowering and micropropagation of Gentiana scabra Bunge which had been used the cut flower, pot flower ornamental and medicinal plants. Flower bud formation was affected by GA$_{3}$ and kinetin. The optimum concentrations for flower bud formation was observed at 0.5 mg/l kinetin and GA$_{3}$ , while kinetin was favorable. More flowerings result from the interaction of GA$_{3}$ and kinetin at in a combination of 0.1 mg/l kinetin + o.1 mg/l GA$_{3}$, but the optimum concentration of GA$_{3}$ and kinetin was decreased. All concentrations of kinetin with 0.1 mg/l GA$_{3}$ or O mg/l GA$_{3}$ + 0.5 mg/l kientin reduced t (weeks needed for 50% plantlets). The plantlet growth was affected by GA$_{3}$ and kinetin during plantlet culture. More lateral shots and better shoot length per plantlet were obtained as GA$_{3}$ and kinetin concentration were increased up to 1.0 mg/l. The number of per plantlet was greater increased in MS medium containing GA$_{3}$ than kinetin. Interaction was exhibited at lower concentration with 0.5mg/l GA$_{3}$ and kinetin, but not in higher concentration with 1.0 mg/l GA$_{3}$ and kinetin. Higher pod diameter increased seed germination, while lower pod diameter was obtained from abnormal plantlet. MA medium containing 0.5 mg/l GA$_{3}$ significantly increased germination without regard to pod diameter.

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) have been widely used as solvents in various industries. Biodegradation of MEK and MIBK by Pseudomonas putida KT-3, which could utilize MEK or MIBK as a sole carbon source, was characterized, and the cosubstrate interaction in MEK/MIBK mixture was also studied. Within the range of initial MEK concentration (from 0.5 to 5.5 mM), an increased substrate concentration increased the specific degradation rate of MEK by P putida KT-3 (from 3.15 to 10.58 mmol/g DCW$\cdot$h), but the rate sightly increased at 11.0 mM of initial MEK concentation (11.28 mmol/g DCW$\cdot$h). The similar degradation rates of MIBK (4.69-4.92 mmol/g DCW$\cdot$h) were obtained at more than 3.0 mM of initial MIBK concentation. Kinetic analysis on the degradation of MEK/MIBK mixture by P. putida KT-3 showed that MEK or MIBK acted as a competitive inhibitor. Maximum degradation rate ($V_{max}$), saturation constant ($K_{m}$) and inhibition constant ($K_{1}$) were as follows: $V_{max,MEK}$=12.94 mmol/g DCW$\cdot$h; $K_{m,MEK}$=1.72 mmol/L; $K_{l,MEK}$=1.30 mmol/L; $V_{max,MIBK}$=5.00 mmol/g-DCW$\cdot$h; $K_{m,MIBK}$=0.42 mmol/L; $K_{l,MEK}$=0.77 mmol/L.

The Reaction of S-methyl-S-cysteine(L-Smc) with racemic $s-cis-[Co(demba)Cl_2]-1$ (Hydmedba = $NN'-dimethylethylenediamine-NN'-di-\alpha-butyric$, acid) yields ${\Delta}$-s-cis-[Co(dmedba)(L-Smc)] 2 with N, O-chelation. Oxidation of sulfur of 2 with $H_2O_2$ in a 1 : 1 mole ratio gives ${\Delta}$-s-cis[Co(dmedba)(L-S(O)mc)] 3 having an uncoordinated sulfenate group. Oxidation of sulfur of L-Sm with $H_2O_2in$ a 1: 1 mole ratio produces S-methyl-L-cysteinesulfenate (L-S(O)me) 5. Direct reaction of 1 with 5 in basic medium gives an N.O-chelated ${\Delta}$s-cis[Co(dmedba)(L-S(O)mc)-N.O], which turmed out be same as obtained by oxidation of 2, while an N, S-chelated ${\Delta}$-s-cis-[Co(dmedba)(S-S(O)mc)-N,O] complex 4 is obtained in acidic medium from the reaction of 1 with 5. This is one of the rare $[$Co^{III}$(N_2O_2-type$ ligand)(amino acid)] type complex preparations, where the reaction conditions determine which mode of N, O and N, S caelation modes is favored.

Sprial adaptation technique of conditioned media has been applied to cultivate human cell line which can not survive in a serum free mdium without adding any growth factors in basal medium Doubling time and scu-PA production from serum free adapted cells were 5 days and 890 (IU/mL), respectively in a T-flask, whose values were not much lower than the productivity of 1100(IU/mL) from 5% serum containing medium. It was required to use conditioned media for attaching cells on microcarriers when cells were inoculated into a spinner vessel. Then, cells could continuously grow in serum free medium with having specific growth rate of 0.106 (1/day) and specific scu-PA production rate of $1.58{\times}10_{-5}$(IU/cell/day) in batch cultivation.

The possibility for mass production of phytol, inhibitory diterpene against ACAT (Acyl-CoA: Cholesterol acyltransferase) was investigated by using callus culture of lettuce. The callus were induced from lettuce cotyledon explants on MS medium containing 0.5 mg.L$^{-1}$ NAA after 4 week's culture. Adventitious roots were formed from the explants on MS medium containing 0.5 mg.L$^{-1}$ IBA or 1.0 mg.L$^{-1}$ NAA. Adventitious shoots and roots were emerged from the callus when the callus was transferred to MS medium containing auxin alone, or with cytokinin. The plant growth regulators and their concentrations for the organogenesis were 1.0 mg.L$^{-1}$ NAA, 0.1 mg.L$^{-1}$ BA, 0.5 mg.L$^{-1}$ NAA with 0.1 mg.L$^{-1}$ kinetin, or 0.5 g.L$^{-1}$ 2.4-D with 1.0 mg.L$^{-1}$ kinetin. Analyses of chlorophyll contents showed that chlorophyll contents were higher in morphogenic calli than in non-morphogenic calli. However, the chemical analyses of gas chromatography indicated that phytol contents were not proportionate to the chlorophyll contents of callus. The content of phytol was higher in callus than in lettuce cotyledon.ledon.

The aim of this study is to examine the sensitivity and characteristics of electromyography abnormalities detected by using various paramenters in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathies. EMG is widely used for disgnosing and localizing the level of radiculopathy. The results of the study were as follow : 1. In electromyography, L5 radiculopathy usa 95 cases(51.690). S1 radiculopathy was $45m(24.5\%)$ L4 radiculopathy was 18cases $(9.8\%)$, and L2, 3 radiculopathy was 8cases$(4.3\%)$. Remains 18cases$(9.8\%)$ had no definite radiculopathy. 2. Peroneal and tibial motor nerve conduction velocity studies were not significant as compared to the side to side. 3. Latency of H-reflex in L5 radiculopathy was $30.55\pm2.47$ in affected side, $29.47\pm2.29$ in unaffected side, in S1 radiculopathy was $33.00\pm2.03$ in affected side, R30.18\pm2.21$ in unaffected side. It was statistically significant(p<0.01). H-reflex mean difference of S1 radiculopathy group was significantly prolonged as compared to the L5 and S1 radiculopathies(p<0.001). 4. In L2, 3 radiculopathy, abnormal spontaneous activities and motor unit action potentials were showed high sensitivity in upper lumber paraspinal, hip adductors, quadriceps and iliopsoas muscles. 5. In L4 radiculopathy, lower lumbar paraspinal, tibialis anterior, quadriceps muscles were showed high sensitivity. 6.
