Photosensitive compound, 1-methyl-4-[2-(4-diethylacetylphenyl)ethenyl] pridinium methosulfate(SbQ-A salt), was synthesized from dimethyl sulfate, terephthalaldehyde mono-(diethylacetal) and 4-picoline. SbQ-A salts were reacted with poly(vinyl alcohol)s, (PVA) in aqueous solution with phosphoric acid as catalyst to give photosensitive PVA-SbQ with different SbQ content and molecular weight. Relative photosensitivity of PVA-SbQ was determined by gray scale(GS) method. The rotative sensitivity of PVA-SbQ increased with increasing amount of bound SbQ in the case of high molecular weight(MW=77,000-79,000g/mol) as substrate and decreased with decreasing molecular weight of PVA with about constant(1.3mol%) amount of bound SbQ. The most sensitive polymer was obtained when SbQ group content in PVA-SbQ reached about 2.63mol% in the case of high molecular weight(77,000-79,000g/mol) PVA. This sample showed 90 times greater sensitivity than dichromated PVA as reference photosensitive system. PVA-SbQ photosensitive polymer synthesized was applied to the photolithographic screening process of phosphor on the panel of cathode ray tube(CRT). Phosphor slurry was made with PVA-SbQ, phosphor, a small amount of surfactant and other additives using water as medium. The slurry was coated onto panel, dried by heater, exposed to UV light and then developed by distilled water. When a small amount of cationic surfactant such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride was used in the slurry formulation, the sharpness of phosphor pattern was equal to or better than that of dichromated PVA photosensitive polymer system used currently.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the practical availability of pretense production that can be used at home after isolating Serratia sp.2000-1 which produced extracellular pretense from clinical specimen. Basic production conditions and partial enzymatic characteristics of pretense produced by Serratia sp. 2000-1 was as follows: The kind and concentration of carbohydrate, nitrogen and metal salts for optimal enzyme production condition were each identified as the concentration of 1.5% glucose, 2.0% CSP, and 0.1% CaCl$_2$, and the optimal temperature, time and initial pH for culture were each 3$0^{\circ}C$, 72 hours, and pH 8.0. The final enzymatic yeild that was purified by 3 steps with ammonium sulfate precipitation (45~80%), DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel chromatography was 14.4%, and enzyme inactivity rate increased approximately 291314s. The optimal temperature and pH for purified pretense activity were 35$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0~8.0, and purified pretense activity was relatively stable by 4$0^{\circ}C$ at pH 6~10 for 30 min, however heating at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, it liminated detectable pretense activity. The pretense activity was activated by $Mg^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, Mn$^{2+}$, but inactiviaed by Hg$^{2+}$, Ag$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, and the pretense activity was inhibited strongly by SDS among enzyme activity inhibitors. Further study is required to evaluate the practical availability of pretense production that can be used at home by isolating Serratia sp. from more clinical specimen and examining pretense more in details.

Five hundred strains of actinomycetes were screened for inhibitory activity against the phytopathogenic fungi; Alternaria alternata, Botryotinia fuckeliana, Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum gleosporioides, Corticium sasaki, Cylindrocarpon destructans, Fusarium oxysporium, Magnaporthe grisea, Phytophthora infestans, Phytium ultimum, and Thanatephorus cucumeris. The strain CNU-A91231 (Korea Agricultural Culture Collection #20938) showed a strong activity against the phytopathogenic fungi and it was identified as Streptomyces griseofuscus based on the sequence of 16s rDNA. Practical and simple media for the strain S. griseofuscus CNU-A91231 was developed at the conditions ($28^{\circ}C$ and pH 6 with aeration) for efficient bacterial growth. Alanine, glutamine, proline and ammonium ion were good nitrogen sources for the bacterium. Addition of the major salts including Na, Cl, Ca, P, K, and Mg into molasses did not increase the growth of S. griseofuscus. Addition of fertilizers containing amino acids significantly enhanced growth of the bacterium. The optimal medium was formulated as molasses + 1% of glutamate fermentation waste powder. All the conditions and components used in this study did not affect the antifungal activity of S. griseofuscus. The bacterium and the medium in this study can be used as a bio-antifungal agent for plant farming.

The production of glucoamylase and exopolygalacturonase from Cryptococcus laurentii Y-23 were investigated with the inducible substrates and mineral salts. Soluble starch induced only glucoamylase wherease pectin induced exopolygalacturonase as well as glucoamylase, and glucose did not induce glucoamylase whereas pectic acid induced a little amount of exopolygalacturonase. At the productions of two enzymes by inducible substrates for the 5 day-cultivation, the yeasts started log phase around 12 hours and mostly reached stationary phase around 36 hours. The best productivity of glucoamylase was observed with addition of soluble starch in the cultivation for 72 to 86 hours, and the high productivity of exopolygalacturonase was done by addition of both pectin and soluble starch in the cultivation for more than 72 hours. Without ammonium sulfate in the medium, however, cultural pH was so increased gradually that production of both enzymes were decreased and delayed as well. $Mn^{2+}$ increased both productivities of glucoamylase and exopolygalacturonase with 21% and 18%, respectively.

As a primary study for SCP production from soybean curd waste water, selection of yeast and optimum cultivation condition of selected yeast on soybean curd waste water were investigated. Eighteen strains of the genus Candida and Saccharamyces were tested to compare their abilities to grow on soybean curd waste water. Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120 grew most successfully. Optimum pH and optimum temperature of the basal medium for growth of the two strains were $6.0{\sim}6.5$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimum culture medium of the two yeasts was soybean curd waste water supplemented with molasses 2.5% (as total sugar), ammonium acetate 0.1-0.3% (as nitrogen), $KH_2PO_4$ 0.1-0.2% (as phosphorus), and $K_2HPO_4$ 0.05% (as phosphorus). But yeast growth was not affected by metal salts. Under the optimum cultivation condition, the maximum cell weights of Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guillfermondii KFCC 35120 were 1.313g and 1.322g/100ml of culture broth respectively after 48 hr of cultivation. The cell yields of Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120 were 68.4% and 74.2%, respectively, based on utilized sugar. On the other hand, crude protein of dry yeast produced by Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120 under optimum condition was 54.0% and 56.8%, respectively.

Purpose: Glyphosate herbicide (GH) is a widely used herbicide and has been associated with significant mortality as poisoned cases increases. One of the reasons for high toxicity is thought to be toxic effect of its ingredient with glyphosate. This study was designed to determine differences in the clinical course with the salt-type contained in GH. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at a single hospital between January 2013 and December 2017. We enrolled GH-poisoned patients visited the emergency department. According to salt-type, patients were divided into 4 groups: isopropylamine (IPA), ammonium (Am), potassium (Po), and mixed salts (Mi) groups. The demographics, laboratory variables, complications, and their mortality were analyzed to determine clinical differences associated with each salt-type. Addtionally, we subdivided patients into survivor and non-survivor groups for investigating predictive factors for the mortality. Results: Total of 348 GH-poisoned patients were divided as follows: IPA 248, Am 41, Po 10, and Mi 49 patients. There was no difference in demographic or underlying disease history, but systolic blood pressure (SBP) was low in Po group. The ratio of intentional ingestion was higher in Po and Mi groups. Metabolic acidosis and relatively high lactate level were presented in Po group. As the primary outcome, the mortality rates were as follows: IPA, 26 (10.5%); Am, 2 (4.9%); Po, 1 (10%); and Mi, 1 (2%). There was no statistically significant difference in the mortality and the incidence of complications. Additionally, age, low SBP, low pH, corrected QT (QTc) prolongation, and respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation were analyzed as independent predictors for mortality in a regression analysis. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference in their complications and the mortality across the GH-salt groups in this study.

In this study, evaluated the properties of layered silicate-based nanocomposite sensitive film. For the fabrication of nanocomposite materials, we selected organically modified layered silicate materials, specifically Cloisite^® and Bentone^®, which were treated with quaternary ammonium salts. The impedance of the humidity sensors containing organically modified montmorillonite/hectorite clay decreased with increasing relative humidity(RH%). In the case of the Cloisite^® humidity sensor exhibited slightly better impedance linearity and hysteresis compared to the Bentone^® 38 humidity sensor. Additionally the impedance of the sensor with Bentone^® 38 addition was the lowest when compared to the Cloisite^®-modified sensor. Comparing the Cloisite^®-modified sensors individually, we observed different moisture absorption characteristics based on the hydrophilic properties of the organic-treated materials. The response speed of Cloisite^® 93A tended to be slower due to differences in moisture evaporation rates influenced by the hydrophilic organic components. Based on these results, moisture barriers utilizing organically modified layered silicate materials may exhibit slightly lower moisture absorption properties compared to conventional polymer-based moisture barriers. However, their excellent stability, simple processing, and cost-effectiveness make them suitable for humidity sensor applications.

Results obtained from this research showed that the anaerobic contact process was applicable to pear waste with COD removal efficiencies of up to $95\%$ depending on conditions, provided ammonium and phosphate salts were added as well as other nutrients, present in the commercial fertilizer, Milorganite or in yeast extract. These latter materials were required in minimum concentrations of 5 and 1.5 g/L, respectively, in the feed independent of HRT and volatile solids loading rate, with part of the effect due to the mineral fraction. Digestion was satisfactory over the whole range of volatile solids loading rates and liquid retention time of 30 to 0.5 days tested, although treatment efficiency dropped off noticeably between 1 and 0.5 day liquid retention time because of poorer flocculation and separation of anaerobic bacteria. Settling of anaerobic bacteria including methane producing bacteria was related to settling of mixed liquor suspended solids only at 1 to 5 days liquid retention times, at other liquid retention times anaerobic microorganism settled markedly less efficiently than mixed liquor suspended solids. Further studies are being made to provide information of practical and basic interest. Data on the composition of the active fraction of yeast extract might solve many practical nutrient problems encountered with the anaerobic contact process and improve its economics. Further improvement in the flocculation and settling of anaerobic bacteria as well as other bacteria would improve overall performance and allow the use of shorter liquid retention times with dilute waste. Knowledge about the numbers of methane formers present would allow a degree of understanding and control of the process not presently attainable.

Among various ammonium salts and metal ammine chlorides used as solid materials for the sources of ammonia with solid SCR for lean NOx reduction, magnesium ammine chloride was taken up for study in this paper because of its ease of handling and safety. Lab-scale synthetic method of magnesium ammine chloride were studied for different durations, temperatures, and pressures with proper ammonia gas charged, as a respect of ammonia gas adsorption rate(%). To understand material characteristics for lab-made magnesium ammine chloride, DA, IC, FT-IR, XRD and SDT analyses were performed using the published data available in literature. From the analytical results, the water content in the lab-made magnesium ammine chloride can be determined. A new test procedure for water removal was proposed, by which the adsorption rate of lab-made sample was found to be approximately 100%.

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of $MnO_x$ with $NH_3$ is an effective method for the removal of $MnO_x$ from stationary system. The typical catalyst for this method is $V_2O_5-WO_3(MoO_3)/TiO_2$, caused by the high activity and stability. However, This catalyst is active within $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ and occurs the pore plugging from the deposition of ammonium sulfate salts on the catalysts surface. It needs to locate the SCR unit after the desulfurizer and electrostatic precipitator without reheating of the flue gas as well as deposition of dust on the catalyst. The manganese oxides supported on titania catalysts have attracted interest because of its high SCR activity at low temperature. The catalytic activity of $MnO_x/TiO_2$ SCR catalyst with different manganese precursors have investigated for low-temperature SCR in terms of structural, morphological, and physico-chemical analyses. The $MnO_x/TiO_2$ were prepared from three different precursors such as manganese nitrate, manganese acetate (II), and manganese acetate (III) by the sol-gel method and then it calcinated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. The structural analysis was carried out to identify the phase transition and the change intensity of catalytic activity by various manganese precursors was analyzed by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. These different precursors also led to various surface Mn concentrations indicated by SEM. The Mn acetate (III) tends to be more suppressive the crystalline phase (rutile), and it has not only smaller particle size, but also better distributed than the others. It was confirmed that the catalytic activity of MA (III)-$MnO_x/TiO_2$ was the highest among them.
