Gray-colored materials were synthesized from ball-milled ZnO powders under a thermal annealing at 1380$^{\circ}C$ with an argon carrier gas for 3 hours. The synthesized materials were identified to be wurtzitic hexagonal structured ZnO nanowires by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The ZnO nanowires have the long cylinder-like shape of which cross-section is a circle, and these nanowires are in the range 15∼40 nm width and 10-70 $\mu\textrm{m}$ length, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that these nanowires are single-crystalline and grow along [110] direction. The optical properties of the ZnO nanowires were investigated with photoluminescence. The analytic results revealed that ZnO nanowires have the singly ionized oxygen vacancies in the surface lattices, as they emit strong green light in room temperature PL. In addition, the growth mechanism of the ZnO nanowires can be described by the vapor-solid procedures.

With the increase of ZnO content, heat of hydration decreased. For specimens containing ZnO more than 0.6 wt.%, the compressive stength of cement cured for 28 days could not be measured because setting was not occurred. With the increase of ZnO content, Blaine specific surface area of cement was decreased and the residue of 45 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 90 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was increased when cement was ground. That is, grindability became worse as ZnO increased in clinker. The difference of color as a function of ZnO content could not be observed, but in the excess of amount of ZnO added, color became more white and reddish yellow.

The PTCR characteristics of the $BaTiO_3$ as a function of the molten KCl and dopant $Sb_2O_3$ were investitated. When the weight ratio of KCl to raw materials was above 0.1, $BaTiO_3$ was synthesized by calcining at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. As the amount of the KCl increased the resistivity of the $BaTiO_3$ at room temperature incr-eased. This can be explained by charge compensation effect between electrons and holes and with microstruc-tures change of the specimens. The resistivity of the $BaTiO_3$ decreased with increasing amount of $Sb_2O_3$. In the time-current characteristics initial current decreased with increasing the ratio of KCl to raw materials but initial current increased and then decreased with the increase of the dopant $Sb_2O_3$. These results of the time-current characteristics can be explained by the resistivity-temperature characteristics.

Gas sensing materials for detecting inflammable gas such as alcohol, propane, acetic acid, carbon monoxide, hydrogen were developed by utiliting $MgO-Cr_2O_3-TiO_2$ system. Between 30$0^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$, reversible chemisorption becomes dominant and the electrical canduction of P-type semiconductive with the gas chemisorption. The ceramic sensor exhibits a high sensitivity to particular reducing gas such as alcohol, whereas propane and butane have little effect on the resistivity. The time response of adsorption is estimated to be about 20 sec. On the other hand, the desorption process, which corresponds to oxidation due to oxygen adsorption, take more than 60 sec. Thus the ceramic sensor can be used as a alcohol sensor in an ambient aunosphere. As the oxygen concentration is increased from 0.1 to 10 precent($10^3-10^6ppm$), the resistance decreases rapidly but stabilizes at higher concentration.

The microstructures of aluminas, included of dissolved CaO as $\alpha$-alumina seeded pseudo-boehmite hydrosol was gelled in plaster mold and doped of MgO as dipping of calcines(120$0^{\circ}C$-2h) into Mg-nitrate solution, were compared to the one of which additives are excluded during the gellation. It was formed the boundary layer of 300~350${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ distance from surface to the inside, containing of approximately 500ppm CaO by dissolved Ca from plaster mold. As the MgO addition to the boundary layer with dissolved CaO, the microstructure of the layer was uniformed and inhibited the grian growth, compared to one of that additives be excluded specimen and of MgO doped-inside region. This result was considered as abnormal grain growth and effect of flat boundary formation be appeared by effects of dissolved CaO, were decreased by MgO co-doping.

O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an abundant posttranslationally modified compound in eukaryotic cells. Human O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) was produced as a maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion protein, which showed significant catalytic activity to modify recombinant Sp1, transcription factor. To facilitate the production of O-GlcNAc modified proteins, instead of using the tedious in vitro glycosylation reaction or expression in eukaryotic cells, a MBP-fusion OGT expression vector (pACYC184-MBPOGT) was constructed using pACYC184 plasmid, which could coexist with general prokaryotic expression vectors containing ColE1 origin. By cotransforming pACYC184-MBPOGT and pGEX-2T vectors into Escherichia coli BL21, intracellular O- GlcNAcylated proteins could be obtained by a simple purification procedure. It is expected that this may be a useful tool for production of O-GlcNAc modified proteins.

A recently known method of paper chromatographical separation of o-iodobenzoic acid-$^{131}$ I and o-iodohippuric acid-$^{131}$ I was found to be in error. The solvent mixture proposed in the method for the efficient separation of the two compounds of similar structure not only be made nonhomogeneous but also brings about no separation. It was also confirmed that no o-iodohippuric acid is converted to o-iodobenzoic acid during the process for Hippuran -$^{131}$ I preparation by isotopic exchange. Upon it, an alternate method of chromato-graphical determination of radiochemical purity of Hippuran-$^{131}$ I is proposed in present paper.

The electrical conductivity of TiO$_2$doped ZnO was investigated by means of complex impedance measurement and voltage-current source and meaurement unit. The e1ectrical conductivity of TiO$_2$added ZnO was increased with increasing the concentration of TiO$_2$. The calculated relative dielectric constant was decreased with increasing the concentration of TiO$_2$. The increase of electrical conductivity seems to be the effect of TiO$_2$donor doping.

Li-air batteries have received much attention due to their superior theoretical energy density. However, their sluggish kinetics on the cathode side is considered the main barrier to high performance. The rational design of electrode catalysts with high activity is therefore an important challenge. To solve this issue, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to analyze the adsorption behavior of the $LiO_2$ molecule, which is considered to be a key intermediate in both the Li-oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the evolution reaction (OER). Specifically, to use the activity descriptor approach, the $LiO_2$ adsorption energy, which has previously been demonstrated to be a reliable descriptor of the cathode reaction in Li-air batteries, was calculated on $LaB_{1-x}B^{\prime}_xO_3$(001) (B, B' = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, x = 0.0, 0.5). Our fast screening results showed that $LaMnO_3$, $LaMn_{0.5}Fe_{0.5}O_3$, or $LaFeO_3$ would be good candidate catalysts. We believe that our results will provide a way to more efficiently develop new cathode materials for Li-air batteries.
