The effect of silver ion solution on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa UTEX 2388 (cyanobacterium) and Chlorella sp. KCTC AG20136 (green alga) was investigated using separated and mixed culture in filtered natural water and BG11 medium. In separated culture, M. aeruginosa UTEX 2388 and Chlorella sp. KCTC AG20136 were found to be sensitive to 0.01 and 0.1 mg L$^{-1}$ of silver ion, respectively. Also, the silver ion concentrations for the growth inhibition of M. aeruginosa UTEX 2388 and Chlorella sp. KCTC AG20136 in the mixed culture were same in separated culture. Cyanobacteria were more sensitive to the silver ion solution than green algae. In bloom sample, the minimal inhibition concentration of silver ion solution for the low Chl-${\alpha}$ sample (110$\sim$190 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$) and high Chl-${\alpha}$ sample (1,500$\sim$1,900 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$) was about 0.1 and 3.0 mg L$^{-1}$, respectively. The silver ion concentration for the inhibition of algal bloom sample was affected by the algal biomass. In order to use silver ion solution for the control of algal bloom, the silver ion concentration must be determined in consideration of a minimal effect on the environment.

$BaTiO_3$의 Ba 자리에 Ca, Ti 자리에 Zr을 첨가한 $(B a_{1-x}Ca_x)(Ti_{0.96-y}Zr_{y}Sn_{0.04})O_3$ $(0.15 {\leq} x{\leq}0.20,\; 0.09{\leq}y{\leq}$0.14) 조성에 2차상 형성을 유도하여 복합체를 만든 후 유전 및 소결 특성을 조사하였다. Ca량이 15mol% 이상 첨가됨에 따라 $CaTiO_3$를 주성분으로 하는 2차상이 석출하여 복합체가 형성되었으며, Ca량의 증가에 따라 2차상 분율이 증가하였다. Ca량의 증가는 큐리 온도를 mol%당 $1.7^{\circ}C$ 감소시키며, 저유전율 2차상의 영향으로 Ca량 증가에 따라 최대 유전율은 mol%당 200 감소하였다. Zr 첨가는 큐리온도를 mol%당 $10^{\circ}C$ 감소시키며, 확산형 상전이 현상을 증가시켜 최대 유전율을 217 감소시켰다. 2차상의 증가에 의하여 비정상 입성장이 억제되어 소결밀도, 내전압 특성이 향상되었으며, Zr 첨가에 의하여 커패시턴스의 온도 안정성을 제어하여 EIA 규격을 만족하는 고압, 고유전율 Y5U 콘덴서 조성을 개발하였다.

모의폐액으로 제조한 50ppm의 코발트이온을 Fe(III) 및 Al(III)의 응집제와 sodium lauryl sulfate의 계면활성제를 사용하여 흡착 교질 포말부선법으로 제거하였다. 용액의 pH, 계면활성제 농도, Fe(III) 및 Al(III) 농도, 공급기체의 유속 등을 변수로 하여 실험한 결과, Fe(III)를 응집제로 사용한 경우 초기 코발트이온농도 50ppm, pH 8.5, 공급기체유속 $70mell$/min, 제거시간 15분 등의 조건에서 99.8%의 제거율을 나타내었다. 코발트 이온 제거에 앞서 모의폐액에 35% $H_2O_2$를 첨가하여 폐액을 전처리하였다. 그 결과, 최적 pH 및 처리 후 잔존용액의 pH가 낮아졌고, 넓은 범위의 pH에서 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. Fe(III) 50 ppm을 사용하여 코발트이온과 공침시킨 후 20ppm의 Al(III)를 첨가한 결과, Fe(III) 또는 Al(III)를 각각 단독으로 사용하였던 경우에 비하여 제거 가능한 pH 범위가 더욱 더 확대되었다. 이 현상은 zeta potential 의 증가 및 공침효과의 상승요인으로 추측되었다. $NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$를 첨가하여 외부이온의 영향을 관찰하였으며, $SO_4^{2-}$가 0.1M 함유된 코발트용액을 Fe(III) 및 Al(III)를 사용하여 처리한 결과 제거효율은 99%를 나타내었다.

During the period from Mar., 1991 to Feb., 1992 66 tSP samples were collected by Hi volume air sampler at 1 sampling site in Seoul and the amount of concentration of 21 components(SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$, NO$_{3}$$^{-}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$, Cl$^{-}$, Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, It Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pt Si, Ti, Zn, Zr ) were measured. And monthly and seasonal variation were surveyed and the principal component analysis( PCA ) were carried out with respect to these amount of pollutants, minimum of visibility and radiation on a horizontal surface. The total amount of soluble ion in water was high in order o(SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$> NO$_{3}$$^{-}$> N%'>Cl$^{-}$ and metal ion was high in order of Na> Ca>Si> Fe> Al> K> Mg> Zn> Pb> Cu>Ti> Mn > Ba> Cr> Zr> Ni> Cd. There was Seasonal variation in concentration for SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$, Cl$^{-}$, Na, Al, Ca, Bt Mg, Fe and Si. It was assumed that the components of the highest concentration on April were depend on yellow sand and the frequency of wind velocity and direction. As the results of PCA, the amount of pollution components was able to characterized with two principal components(Z$_{1}$, Z$_{2}$ ). The first principal components Z$_{1}$ was considered to be a factor indicating the pollutants originated from natural generation and The second principal components Z$_{2}$ was considered to be a factor indicating the pollutants originated from human work. The monthly concentration of pollutants in ISP, minimum of visibility and radiation on a horizontal surface was possible to evaluate by the use of these two principal components Z$_{1}$ and Z$_{2}$ .

Anoctamin 6/TMEM16F (ANO6) is a dual-function protein with Ca2+-activated ion channel and Ca2+-activated phospholipid scramblase activities, requiring a high intracellular Ca2+ concentration (e.g., half-maximal effective Ca2+ concentration [EC50] of [Ca2+]i > 10 μM), and strong and sustained depolarization above 0 mV. Structural comparison with Anoctamin 1/TMEM16A (ANO1), a canonical Ca2+-activated chloride channel exhibiting higher Ca2+ sensitivity (EC50 of 1 μM) than ANO6, suggested that a homologous Ca2+-transferring site in the N-terminal domain (Nt) might be responsible for the differential Ca2+ sensitivity and kinetics of activation between ANO6 and ANO1. To elucidate the role of the putative Ca2+-transferring reservoir in the Nt (Nt-CaRes), we constructed an ANO6-1-6 chimera in which Nt-CaRes was replaced with the corresponding domain of ANO1. ANO6-1-6 showed higher sensitivity to Ca2+ than ANO6. However, neither the speed of activation nor the voltage-dependence differed between ANO6 and ANO6-1-6. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed a reduced Ca2+ interaction with Nt-CaRes in ANO6 than ANO6-1-6. Moreover, mutations on potentially Ca2+-interacting acidic amino acids in ANO6 Nt-CaRes resulted in reduced Ca2+ sensitivity, implying direct interactions of Ca2+ with these residues. Based on these results, we cautiously suggest that the net charge of Nt-CaRes is responsible for the difference in Ca2+ sensitivity between ANO1 and ANO6.

Precipitation samples were collected by the wet-only sampling method at Seoul from September 1993 to June 1995. Sample were analysed for the anions $(NO_3^-, NO_2^-, SO_4^{2-}, Cl^-, and F^-)$ and cations $(Na^+, K^+, Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}, and NH_4^+)$ in addition to pH and electric conductivity. In order to establish the chemical analysis data of high quality, the assurance checks for analytical data of precipitation were performed by considering the ion balance and by comparing the measured conductivity with the calculated conductivity. As we applied the various assurance checking methods by the ion balance used until recently to a data set measured in this study, the f value expressed as $\Sigma C/\Sigma A$ was found to be not appropriate for the data screening. Also, the scattering plot between cations and anions in each sample was found to show the general tendency of ion balance but was proved to not quantitate the standard of data screening at a data set of samples of various concentration levels. The h value defined as (A-C)/C for C $\geq$ A and (A-C)/A for C < A was used to check the ion balance. However, the standard of data screening by h value must very in response to total ion concentration of samples. In this study, the quality assurance of chemical analysis data was checked by considering both the ion balance of evaluating by h value and the conductivity balance. Further the quality control was achieved by these quality assurance methods. As the result, 67 samples among total 77 were obtained as valid. As the central tendency value for a statistical summary in the analytical parametr of samples, the volume-weighted mean value was found to represent more the general chemistry of precipitation rather than the arithmetic mean. The volume-weighted mean pH was 5.0 and 25% of samples was less than this mean. The concentrations of sufate and nitrate in precipitation were 90.4 ueq/L and 32.4 ueq/L which made up 59% and 21% of all anions. The raion of $SO_4^{2-}/(NO_3^- + NO_2^-)$ in precipitation was 2.7, which indicates that the contributions of $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ to the acidity of precipitation are 70% and 30%, respectively.

The $Na^+-and\;K^+-induced\;Ca^{++}$ release was measured isotopically by millipore filter technique in pig heart mitochondria. With EGTA-quenching technique, the characteristics of mitochondrial $Ca^{++}-pool$ and the sources of $Ca^{++}$ released from mitochondria by $Na^+\;or\;K^+$ were analyzed. The mitochondrial $Ca^{++}-pool$ could be distinctly divided into two components: internal and external ones which were represented either by uptake through inner membrane, or by energy independent passive binding to external surface of mitochondria, respectively. In energized mitochondria, a large portion of $Ca^{++}$was transported into internal pool with little external binding, while in de-enerigzed state, a large portion of transported $Ca^{++}$ existed in the external pool with limited amount of $Ca^{++}$ in the internal pool which was possibly transported through the $Ca^{++}-carrier$ present in the inner membrane. $Na^+$ induced the $Ca^{++}$ release from both internal pool and external pool and external binding pool of mitochondria. In contrast, $K^+$ did not affect $Ca^{++}$ of the internal pool, but, displaced $Ca^{++}$ bound to external surface of the mitochondria. When the $Ca^{++}-reuptake$ was blocked by EGTA, the $Ca^{++}$ release from the internal pool by $Na^+$ was rapid; the rate of $Ca^{++}-efflux$ appeared to be a function of $[Na^+]^2$ and about 8mM $Na^+$ was required to elicit half-maximal velocity of $Ca^{++}-efflux$. So it was revealed that $Ca^{++}-efflux$ velocity was particulary sensitive to small changes of the $Na^+$ concentration in physiological range. Energy independent $Ca^{++}-binding$ sites of mitochondrial external surface showed unique characteristics. The total number of external $Ca^{++}-binding$ sites of pig heart mitochondria was 29 nmoles per mg protein and the dissociation constant(Kd) was $34{\mu}M$. The $Ca^{++}-binding$ to the external sites seemed to be competitively inhibited by $Na^+\;and\;K^+$; the inhibition constant(Ki) were 9.7 mM and 7.1 mM respectively. Considering the intracellular ion concentrations and large proportion of $Ca^{++}$ uptake in energized mitochondria, the external $Ca^{++}-binding$ pool of the mitochondria did not seem to play a significant role on the regulation of intracellular free $Ca^{++}$ concentration. From this experiment, it was suggested that a small change of intracellular free $Na^+$ concentration might play a role on regulation of free $Ca^{++}$ concentration in cardiac cell by influencing $Ca^{++}-efflux$ from the internal pool of mitochondria.

대표적인 무기계 지연제인 규불하마그네슘(MgSiF6.6H2O)을 시멘트 수화반응시 첨가했을 때의 수화반응의 지연 효과 및 특성과 수용액 이온농도 변화 고찰하기 위하여 규불화마그네슘을 시멘트 질랴의 0.3wt%에서 5wt%까지 변화시키면서 그 영향을 연구 검토하였다. 시멘트 모르타르의 flow는 지연제의 첨가에 따라 감소하는 경향이 있으며 응결 시간은 지연제의 첨가량에 따라 지연되었다. 모르타르의 압축 강도는 지연제의 첨가량에 따라 3일, 7일까지는 지연제를 첨가하지 않은 plain mortar에 비하여 약간 낮은 강도를 나타내나, 시간이 지남에 따라 회복되어 28일이 지나면 plain 모르타르와 같은 강도를 나타낸다. 규불화마그네슘이 첨가되면 수화 초기 단계에서 시멘트로부터 용출된 알카리 이온과 반응하여 K2SiF6의 생성이 일어나며 그와 동시에 Ca++와 F++와의 반응에 따라 CaF2화합물이 생성됨을 확인하였다. 이때 생성된 K2SiF6 및 CaF2생성물의 비표면적은 대단히 컸으며 이들 물질이 수화반응 초기에 미수화 시멘트시 입자 표면에 생성되어 시멘트의 수화가 지연되는 것으로 검토된다. 또한 수화초기의 수화용액의 Ca++ 및 K+이온 농도의 저하 역시 포틀랜드 수화반응속도를 지연시켜 주는 이유가된다.

Polycystic kidney disease 2-like-1 (PKD2L1), polycystin-L or transient receptor potential polycystin 3 (TRPP3) is a TRP superfamily member. It is a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel that regulates intracellular calcium concentration and thereby calcium signaling. Although the calmodulin (CaM) inhibitor, calmidazolium, is an activator of the PKD2L1 channel, the activating mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to clarify whether CaM takes part in the regulation of the PKD2L1 channel, and if so, how. With patch clamp techniques, we observed the current amplitudes of PKD2L1 significantly reduced when co-expressed with CaM and $CaM{\triangle}N$. This result suggests that the N-lobe of CaM carries a more crucial role in regulating PKD2L1 and guides us into our next question on the different functions of two lobes of CaM. We also identified the predicted CaM binding site, and generated deletion and truncation mutants. The mutants showed significant reduction in currents losing PKD2L1 current-voltage curve, suggesting that the C-terminal region from 590 to 600 is crucial for maintaining the functionality of the PKD2L1 channel. With PKD2L1608Stop mutant showing increased current amplitudes, we further examined the functional importance of EF-hand domain. Along with co-expression of CaM, ${\triangle}EF$-hand mutant also showed significant changes in current amplitudes and potentiation time. Our findings suggest that there is a constitutive inhibition of EF-hand and binding of CaM C-lobe on the channel in low calcium concentration. At higher calcium concentration, calcium ions occupy the N-lobe as well as the EF-hand domain, allowing the two to compete to bind to the channel.
