  • Experiments were carried out to investigate whether P, deficiency in detached 25 mM mannose-feeding led to a decline of the photosynthetic electron transport rates through acidification of the thylakoid lumen. With increasing mannose-feeding time, the maximal CO2 exchange rates and the maximal quantum yields of photosynthesis decreased rapidly up to 6 h by 73% then with little decrease up to 12 h. The ATP/ADP ratio declined by 54% 6 h after the treatment and then recovered to the control level at 12 h. However, the NADPH/NADP~ ratio was not significantly altered by mannose treatment. Electron transport rates of thylakoid membranes isolated from 6 h treated leaves did not change, but they decreased by 30% in 12 h treated leaves. The quenching analysis of Chl fluorescence in mannose-treated leaves revealed that both the fraction of reduced plastoquinone and the degree of acidification of thylakoid lumen remained higher than those of the control. The reduction of PSI in mannose fed leaves was inhibited due to acidification of thylakoid lumen (high qE). The reduction of primary quinone acceptor of PSII was inhibited by mannose feeding. Mannose treatment decreased the efficiency of excitation energy capture by PSII. Fo quenching was induced when treated with mannose more than 6 h, and had a reverse linear correlation with (Fv)m/Fm ratio. These results suggest that Pi deficiency in Chinese cabbage leaves reduce photosynthetic electron transport rates by diminishing both PSII function and electron transfer from PSII to PSI through acidification ofthylakoid lumen, which in turn induce the modification of photosynthetic apparatus probably through protein (de)phosphorylation.

  • In this study, the discharging effluents from have been 9 municipal wastewater treatment plants surveyed for 1 year-period. Statistics including probability distribution, cumulative occurrence concentration and other statistical parameters were presented. In addition, treatment performance and its stability were also discussed. Most of the plants, have an operational problem of high soluble organic content in the secondary effluent which may be associated with the integrated treatment of human and livestock manures. Nitrogen concentration in the effluents were usually higher during the period of summer and winter. It was found that this is mainly due to lack of the proper C/N ratio during the summer, or/and the effects of low temperature and less dilution by dry weather during the winter. Phosphorus concentration is sharply increased in June. Discussion with plant operators told that it is due to the dissolution of phosphate from the sludge accumulated in the primary settling tanks from the early spring to june. During this period, usually, sludge treatment line is highly overloaded with flush-outs of the sediments also stored in the bottom of combined sewer due to the low flow during winter season. Most of the plants can meet new effluent discharge limits of the nitrogen and phosphorus, and total coliform without further treatment.

  • Biodegradable $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate ( $\beta$-TCP)/poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composites were synthesized by in-situ polymerization with microwave energy. The influence of the $\beta$-TCP content in $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites on the molecular weight, crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. As the molecular weight of composites decreased, the $\beta$-TCP content increased up to 10 wt.%, while the excess addition of the $\beta$-TCP content above 10 wt.% the molecular weight increased with increasing of the $\beta$-TCP content. This behavior would be due to the superheating effect or nonthermal effect induced by microwave energy. It was found that the bending strength and Young's modulus of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites was proportional to the molecular weight of PLGA. The bending strength of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites ranged from 18 to 38 MPa, while Young's modulus was in the range from 2 to 6 GPa.

  • In the present work, decoloring of acid dye solution by the diethylaminoethylated cellulosic adsorbents($CA_{DASE}$) was studied with the aim of developing polymeric adsorbents for the treatment of colored wastewaters. To prepare the cellulosic adsorbents, the $CA_{DASE}$ cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol mixture(80 wt% cellulose content) were crosslinked by tryacryloyl hexahydro-s-tryazine(TAHHT), ammonium phosphate and then treated with solutions containing sodium hydroxide and 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride. Batch and flow method were employed to determine decoloring capacity of C $A_{DEAE}$ for C.I.acid yellow 49. $CA_{DASE}$ exhibited much better desorption capacity than activated carbon. Furthermore, the exhausted $$CA{DASE} could be readily regenerated by washing with dilute sodium hydroxide.

  • This experiment was carried out to establish an effective technique of in vitro maturation of porcine follicular oocytes. Porcine ovaries were collected from an abbatoir and delivered to the laboratory in phosphate buffered saline in an hour. Immatured follicular oocytes were collected from the ovaries and divided into groups by the size of follicles and by the attachment of granulosa cells. The follicular oocytes were cultured in m-KRB solution supplemented with FCS(10%), follicular fluid(10%) or hormones of PMSG(10IU/ml), hCG(10IU/ml ) and $estradiol-17{\beta}(1{\mu}g/ml)$ for 48 hours at $39^{\circ}C$ under an atmosphere of 5% $CO_2$ in air. The results are as follows ; 1. The mean recoveration rate of follicular oocytes was 61.8%. 2. The maturation rate was significantly(p<0.05) higher when the oocytes were collected from large-sized follicles and under good state of granulosa cell attachment. 3. The maturation rate was significantly(p<0.01) promoted when the follicular oocytes were cultured in m-KRB solution supplemented with follicular fluid(74.8%) or hormones and fetal calf serum(70.6%).

  • With the development of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, it has been possible to reconstruct the cranio-maxillofacial defect with more accurate preoperative planning, precise patient-specific implants (PSIs), and shorter operation times. The manufacturing processes include subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing and should be selected in consideration of the material type, available technology, post-processing, accuracy, lead time, properties, and surface quality. Materials such as titanium, polyethylene, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), hydroxyapatite (HA), poly-DL-lactic acid (PDLLA), polylactide-co-glycolide acid (PLGA), and calcium phosphate are used. Design methods for the reconstruction of cranio-maxillofacial defects include the use of a pre-operative model printed with pre-operative data, printing a cutting guide or template after virtual surgery, a model after virtual surgery printed with reconstructed data using a mirror image, and manufacturing PSIs by directly obtaining PSI data after reconstruction using a mirror image. By selecting the appropriate design method, manufacturing process, and implant material according to the case, it is possible to obtain a more accurate surgical procedure, reduced operation time, the prevention of various complications that can occur using the traditional method, and predictive results compared to the traditional method.

  • We attempted in this study to understand the hypoglycemic action of the fat soluble fraction of red ginseng roots in streptozotocin injected diabetic rats, through its actions on several enzymes relating to carbohydrate metabolism of the 1eve1 to compare with those of ginsenosides in streptozotocin injected diabetic rats. It was realized that the increased level of glucose, ketone bodies, lactate, nonesterified fatty acids and triacylglycerol in blood was significantly decreased and the decreased liver glycogen content of streptozotocin injected rats were appreciably moderated by intraperitoneal injection of the fat soluble fraction of red ginseng roots as shown in the saponin injected diabetic rats. The deceased activities of liver enzymes relating to carbohydrate metabolism such as phosphofructokinase, glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and acetyl CoA carboxylase of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were also sufficiently modified by the intraperitoneal injection of the above fat soluble fraction as shown in the ginsenoside injected streptozotocin induced rats.

  • For making a high degree of efficiency, this study attempts to gather each arisen-sludge from experiments and examine into its characteristics, in order to compare the biological reason of removing phosphorus with sintered body using calcite and the artificial reason of removing with a chemical reagent. First, it can be seen that sludge, which is identified CaCO$_3$, of 0.1∼0.2$\mu$m is regularly formed when using sintered body, calcite. And it is one of the results of the chemical methods in order to remove phosphorus that can be seen that sludges of 100∼50 $\mu$m are formed and that the forms of Ca$_2$P$_2$O$\_$7/, Ca$_3$(PO$_4$)$_2$$.$nH$_2$O, $\beta$-Ca$_2$P$_2$O$\_$7/ are shown when using a reagent, CaO dissolved water. The other of the results of the chemical methods can be seen that a lumpof sludge is formed when using wastewater and a reagent Ca$^2$$\^$+/ are used, and that the lump consists of Ca$_3$(PO$_4$)$_2$$.$nH$_2$O와 Ca$_2$H$_2$P$_4$O$\_$14/.
