In this study, an approx. 2.5-kb gene fragment including the catalase gene from Rhodospirillum rubrum S1 was cloned and characterized. The determination of the complete nucleotide sequence revealed that the cloned DNA fragment was organized into three open reading frames, designated as ORF1, catalase, and ORF3 in that order. The catalase gene consisted of 1,455 nucleotides and 484 amino acids, including the initiation and stop codons, and was located 326 bp upstream in the opposite direction of ORF1. The catalase was overproduced in Escherichia coli UM255, a catalase-deficient mutant, and then purified for the biochemical characterization of the enzyme. The purified catalase had an estimated molecular mass of 189 kDa, consisting of four identical subunits of 61 kDa. The enzyme exhibited activity over a broad pH range from pH 5.0 to pH 11.0 and temperature range from $20^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$C. The catalase activity was inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, cyanide, azide, and hydroxylamine. The enzyme's $K_m$ value and $V_{max}$ of the catalase for $H_2O_2$ were 21.8 mM and 39,960 U/mg, respectively. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed that the ratio of $A_{406}$ to $A_{280}$ for the catalase was 0.97, indicating the presence of a ferric component. The absorption spectrum of catalase-4 exhibited a Soret band at 406 nm, which is typical of a heme-containing catalase. Treatment of the enzyme with dithionite did not alter the spectral shape and revealed no peroxidase activity. The combined results of the gene sequence and biochemical characterization proved that the catalase cloned from strain S1 in this study was a typical monofunctional catalase, which differed from the other types of catalases found in strain S1.

Plasma in liquid phase has attracted great attention in the last few years by the wide domain of applications in material processing, decomposition of organic and inorganic chemical compounds and sterilization of water. The plasma in liquid is characterized by three main regions which interact each - other during the plasma operation: the liquid phase, which supply the plasma gas phase with various chemical compounds and ions, the plasma in the gas phase at atmospheric pressure and the interface between these two regions. The most complex region, but extremely interesting from the fundamental, chemical and physical processes which occur here, is the boundary between the liquid phase and the plasma gas phase. In our laboratory, plasma in liquid which behaves as a glow discharge type, is generated by using a bipolar pulsed power supply, with variable pulse width, in the range of 0.5~10 ${\mu}s$ and 10 to 30 kHz repetition rate. Plasma in water and other different solutions was characterized by electrical and optical measurements. Strong emissions of OH and H radicals dominate the optical spectra. Generally water with 500 ${\mu}S/cm$ conductivity has a breakdown voltage around 2 kV, depending on the pulse width and the repetition rate of the power supply. The characteristics of the plasma initiated in ultrapure water between pairs of different materials used for electrodes (W and Ta) were investigated by the time-resolved optical emission and the broad-band absorption spectroscopy. The deexcitation processes of the reactive species formed in the water plasma depend on the electrode material, but have been independent on the polarity of the applied voltage pulses. Recently, Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy method was employed to investigate the chemistry in the liquid phase and at the interface between the gas and the liquid phases of the solution plasma system. The use of the solution plasma allows rapid fabrication of the metal nanoparticles without being necessary the addition of different reducing agents, because plasma in the liquid phase provides a reaction field with a highly excited energy radicals. We successfully synthesized gold nanoparticles using a glow discharge in aqueous solution. Nanoparticles with an average size of less than 10 nm were obtained using chlorauric acid solutions as the metal source. Carbon/Pt hybrid nanostructures have been obtained by treating carbon balls, synthesized in a CVD chamber, with hexachloro- platinum acid in a solution plasma system. The solution plasma was successfully used to remove the template remained after the mesoporous silica synthesis. Surface functionalization of the carbon structures and the silica surface with different chemical groups and nanoparticles, was also performed by processing these materials in the liquid plasma.

지도의 형태는 전통적으로 항공사진이나 위성사진을 이용한 수작업에 의해 추출되어 왔으나, 최근의 원격탐사 기술의 발달은 지도의 형태추출에 새로운 혁신을 가져다 주었다. 공간필터기법을 이용하면 지도형태 추출의 자동화가 가능한데, 특히 선의 추출을 고빈도필터를 이용하여 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 필터와 지도화의 관계에 대해 이론적으로 고찰한 다음 지도의 선형화와 관련하여 유용하다고 알려진 필터들을 소개하였다. 그리고 이 필터들을 진주시의 SPOT Panchromatic 영상에 적용하였다. 적용한 결과 본고에서 소개한 필터적용 영상이 전반적으로 초기영상보다 개선되어 선형화작업에 매우 유용함을 확인하였다. 특히 초기영상이 포함된 필터영상들의 해석이 용이하였고 선형화가 명확하였다. 그러나 문헌에서 유용성이 인정된 필터라도 일부 필터는 진주시의 경우 선형화작업이 전혀 불가능하였다.

Dark to pale green-colored, Cr-bearing sericites from hydrothermal alteration zone of the Narim gold deposit were investigated mineralogically and geochemically. The alteration zone is composed mineralogically of quartz, carbonate minerals and green sericite with minor amounts of chlorite, barite and sulfide minerals (pyrite, sphalerite, galena). The zone is enriched in As (967 to 1520 ppm), Cu (31 to 289 ppm), Ni (1027 to 1205 ppm), Pb (0.20 to 1.24 wt.%) and Zn (1.03 to 1.07 wt. %) compared with fresh rocks such as granitic gneiss, porphyritic biotite granite and basic dyke. The Cr, probably the chromophore element, is highly enriched in the alteration zone (1140 to 1500 ppm), host granitic gneiss (1200 ppm) and porphyritic biotite granite (1200 ppm). Occurrence and grain size of sericite are diverse, but most of the Cr-bearing sericites (150 to $200{\mu}m$ long and 20 to $30{\mu}m$ wide) occur along the boundaries between ore veins and host rocks (especially basic dyke and granitic gneiss). X-ray diffraction data of the sericite show its monoclinic form with unit-cell parameters of $a=5.202{\AA}$, $b=8.994{\AA}$, $c=20.103{\AA}$, ${\beta}=95.746^{\circ}$ and $V=935.83{\AA}^3$, which are similar with the normal 2M1-type muscovite. Representative chemical formula of the sericite is ($K_{1.54}Ca_{0.03}Na_{0.01}$)($Al_{3.42}Mg_{0.38}Cr_{0.14}Fe_{0.06}V_{0.02}$)($Si_{6.69}Al_{1.31}$)$O_{20}(OH)_4$. The Cr content increases with decrease of the octahedral Al content, and ranges from 0.36 to 2.58 wt.%. DTA and TG curves of the sericite show endothermic peaks at $342^{\circ}$ to $510^{\circ}$, $716^{\circ}$ to $853^{\circ}$ and $1021^{\circ}C$, which are due to the expulsion of hydroxyl group. The total weight loss by heating is measured to be about 8.8 wt. %, especially at $730^{\circ}C$. Infrared absorption experiments of the sericite show broad absorption band due to the O-H bond stretching vibration near the $3625cm^{-1}$, coupled with the 825 and $750cm^{-1}$ doublet. The vibration bands related with the H-O-Al and Si-O-Al bonds occur at $1030cm^{-1}$ and 500 to $700cm^{-1}$, respectively. Based on paragonite content of the sericite, the formation temperature of the Narim gold deposit is calculated to be $220{\pm}10^{\circ}C$.

The stochiometric composition of $AgGaS_2$/GaAs polycrystal source materials for the $AgGaS_2$/GaAs epilayer was prepared from horizontal furnace. From the extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns it was found that the polycrystal $AgGaS_2$/GaAs has tetragonal structure of which lattice constant an and Co were 5.756 $\AA$ and 10.305 $\AA$, respectively. $AgGaS_2$/GaAs epilayer was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) substrate from mixed crystal $AgGaS_2$/GaAs by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystallinity of the grown $AgGaS_2$/GaAs epilayer was investigated by the DCRC (double crystal X-ray diffraction rocking curve). The optical energy gaps were found to be 2.61 eV for $AgGaS_2$/GaAs epilayer at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent peak energy is well explained by the Varshni equation, then the constants in the Varshni equation are given by $\alpha=8.695{\times}10^{-4}$ eV/K, and $\beta=332K$. From the photocurrent spectra by illumination of polarized light of the $AgGaS_2$/GaAs epilayer, we have found that crystal field splitting ${\Delta}Cr$ was 0.28 eV at 20 K. From the PL spectra at 20 K, the peaks corresponding to free and bound excitons and a broad emission band due to D-A pairs are identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.2676 eV and 0.2430 eV and the dissociation energy of the bound excitons to be 0.4695 eV.

$Dy^{3+}$ 이온이 도핑된 $BaMoO_4$ 형광체 분말을 고상반응법으로 합성하였으며, 형광체의 결정 구조, 입자의 형상과 크기, 흡광과 발광 특성을 조사하였다. 모든 형광체 분말의 결정 구조는 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비에 관계없이 주 회절 피크 (112)를 갖는 정방 정계이었다. $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비가 증가함에 따라 결정 입자는 용해되면서 큰 덩어리 형태의 결정 입자를 형성하였다. 흡광 스펙트럼은 293 nm에 피크를 갖는 전하 전달 밴드와 230~320 nm 영역에서 상대적으로 세기가 약한 다수의 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 전이 신호로 구성되었다. 발광 스펙트럼의 경우에 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{11/2}$와 $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{9/2}$ 전이에 의한 666 nm와 754 nm에 피크를 갖는 적색 발광의 세기는 미약하였고, $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{15/2}$와 $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ 전이에 의한 각각 486 nm와 577 nm에 피크를 갖는 청색과 황색 발광의 세기는 상대적으로 매우 컸다. 실험 결과는 $Dy^{3+}$의 황색과 청색의 발광 세기 비를 제어함으로써 백색 발광을 구현할 수 있음을 제시한다.

Solid solutions of the nonstoichiometric Dy1-xSrxCoO3-y system with the compositions of x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 have been synthesized by the solid state reaction at 1000 ℃ under atmospheric air pressure. The crystallographic structures of the solid solutions are analyzed by the powder X-ray diffraction patterns at room temperature. The analyses assign the compositions of x=0.00 and 0.25 to the orthorhombic system with space group of Pbnm/D2h16, the compositions of x=0.50 and 0.75 to the tetragonal system like a typical SrCoO2.86, and the composition of x=l.00 or SrCoO2.50 to the brownmillerite type system with space group of I**a. The reduced lattice volumes increase with x value due to the larger radius of Sr2+ ion than that of Dy3+ ion. The mole ratio of Co4+ ion to total Co ion with mixed valence state between Co3+ and Co4+ ions at B sites or τ value has been determined by an iodometric titration. All the samples except for the DyCoO3 compound show the mixed valnce state and thus the composition of x=0.50 has the maximum τ value in the system. The oxygen vacancies increasing with x value are randomly distributed over the crystal lattice except for the composition of x=l.00 which have the ordering of the oxygen vacancies. The nonstoichiometric chemical formulas of the Dy1-xSrxCo3+1-τCo4+τO3-(x-τ)/2 system are formulated from the x, τ, and y values. The electrical conductivity in the temperature range of 100 to 900 K increases with τ value linearly because of positive holes of the Co4+ ions in π* band as a conducting carrier. The activation energy of the x=0.50 as Ea=0.17 eV is minimum among other compouds. Broad and high order transition due to the overlap between σ* and π* bands broadened by the thermal activation is observed near 1000 K and shows a low temperature-semiconducting behavior. Magnetic properties following the Currie-Weiss law show the low to high spin transition in the cobaltate perovskite. Especially, the composition of x=0.75 presents weak ferromagnetic behavior due to the Co3+-O2--Co4+ indirect superexchange interaction.

본 논문에서는 보다 편리한 튜닝을 위해 Evanescent-Mode Rectangle Waveguide(EMRWG)에 삽입된 새로운 작은 직경의 원통형 포스트 커패시터를 제안하였다. EMRWG급전을 위한 제안된 구조는 입력 및 출력 끝에서 도파관과 동일한 너비와 높이를 갖는 단일 리지 직사각형 도파관을 사용하였다. 삽입된 포스트 커패시터는 EMRWG의 넓은 벽체 하부 중앙에 형성된 원형 홈과 상부에 삽입된 동심원기둥 포스트로 구성된다. 먼저 제안된 구조에 대한 등가회로 모델을 제시하였고, EMRWG와 단일 리지 도파관이 결합될 때 이상적인 변압기의 접합 서셉턴스와 권선비는 각각 HFSS(3d fullwave 시뮬레이터, Ansoft Co.)를 사용하여 두 가지 경우에 대해 시뮬레이션하였다. 얻어진 매개변수와 EMRWG의 특성을 이용하여 삽입된 기둥의 서셉턴스 및 공진 특성을 분석하였다. 중심주파수 4.5GHz, 대역폭 170MHz의 2포스트 필터는 WR-90 도파관을 이용하여 설계하였으며, 등가회로 모델에 대한 계산과 HFSS와 CST를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과가 서로 일치하였다.
