It was previously shown that AtNAP1 is a plastidic SufB protein involved in Fe-S cluster assembly in Arabidopsis. In this study, we investigated the effects of depleting SufB protein from plant cells using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). VIGS of NbNAP1 encoding a Nicotiana benthamiana homolog of AtNAP1 resulted in a leaf yellowing phenotype. NbNAP1 was expressed ubiquitously in plant tissues with the highest level in roots. A GFP fusion protein of the N-terminal region (M1-V103) of NbNAP1 was targeted to chloroplasts. Depletion of NbNAP1 resulted in reduced numbers of chloroplasts of reduced size. Mitochondria also seemed to be affected. Despite the reduced number and size of the chloroplasts in the NbNAP1 VIGS lines, the expression of many nuclear genes encoding chloroplast-targeted proteins and chlorophyll biosynthesis genes remained unchanged.

Photosensitization via the singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) mechanism by the binuclear iron-sulfur center, denoted as [2Fe-2S], was investigated, using a highly purified ferredoxin (Fd) preparation from spinach leaves. Since the apoprotein of Fd contains a good number of amino acid residues that are readily reactive with $^1O_2$ and thus interfere with the detection of $^1O_2$ generated from [2Fe-2S], we attempted to deprive the $^1O_2$-sensitive residues of their $^1O_2$-scavenging capacity as much as possible by treating Fd with rose bengal plus 550 nm monochromatic light and thereby photooxidatively degrading these residues. The photochemically modified Fd was found to keep the structural integrity of its Fe-S group virtually unaffected by the treatment. By employing chemical trap method for measurement and examining the kinetic effects of azide and deuterium oxide on the reactions of $^1O_2$ with various trap compounds, we were able to demonstrate that [2Fe-2S] indeed acts as a photosensitizer via $^1O_2$. Further, the minimum quantum yield of $^1O_2$ production by [2Fe-2S] was estimated to be 0.0047.

This paper deals with the phase analysis of $MgB_2$ bulk using spark plasma sintering process after ball milling. Mg and amorphous B powders were used as raw materials, and milled by planetary-mill for 9 hours at argon atmosphere. In order to confirm formation of $MgB_2$ phase, DTA and XRD were used. The milled powders were fabricated to $MgB_2$ bulk at the various temperatures by Spark Plasma Sintering. The fabricated $MgB_2$ bulk was evaluated with XRD, EDS, FE-SEM and PPMS. In the DTA result, reaction on formation of $MgB_2$ phase started at $340^{\circ}C$. This means that ball milling process improves reactivity on formation of $MgB_2$ phase. The $MgB_2$ MgO and FeB phases were characterized from XRD result. MgO and FeB were undesirable phases which affect formation of $MgB_2$ phase, and it's distribution could be confirmed from EDS mapping result. Spark Plasma Sintered sample for 5 min at $700^{\circ}C$ was relatively densified and it's density and transition temperature showing super conducting property were $1.87\;g/cm^3$ and 21K.

From the VI images of M13, obtained by using 2K CCD camera and the BOAO 1.8m telescope, we derive the(V - I) - V CMD of M13. From the shapes of red giant branch, the magnitude of horizontal branch, and the giant branch bump on the constructed CMD, we determined the metallicity of the globular cluster to be 1.74${\lesssim}$[Fe/H]${\lesssim}$-1.41. The good agreement between our determination of [Fe/H] and those determined by using other methods implies that the morphology of red giant and horizontal branches on (V - I) - V CMD's can be good indirect metallicity indicators of Galactic globular clusters.

We have produced nanophase iron clusters inside a gas cell by decomposing iron pentacarbonyls from the mixture of ~20 Torr Fe(CO)5/~3 Torr SF6 with a pulsed CO2 laser. The product displayed a black tint. Its composition was identified to be mostly iron from an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectrum. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicates a body-centered cubic structure for the cluster. A transmission electron micrograph proves that their diameter ranges between 50 and 70 Å and their average diameter is 60 Å.

세개의 오스테 나이트계의 Fe-Cr-Ni 스테인레스 합금강들의 DC 자화율의 온도의존성을 4.2-300 K 온도영역에서 측정하였다. 측정결과 두개의 합금강들은 two-magnetic-phase 모델(spin glass와 초상자성)을 만족하였으며 나머지 하나는 자기적 2중 천이현상을 나타내었다. 또한 Ni/Cr의 비가 증가할수록 자화율의 최 대값이 증가하고 이 값을 나타내는 온도는 감소하였다.

비화학량론적 치환형 페라이트 Fe$_{}1.429$(Al$_{4-x}$ Ga$_{x}$)$_{0.286}$ Si$_{0.143}$ /O$_4$계의 자기적 상태를 Mossbauer 분광법과 SQUID를 이용해 조사 하였다. 실온에서의 Mossbauer 스펙트럼은 x=0.2 경우 잘 정렬된 두개의 Zeeman 패턴을 보이고 x=0.4 경우 두개의 Zeeman 패턴과 이중선이 중첩되어 나타난다. 이중선의 근원은 치환 및 온도의존성을 고려할때 초상자성 cluster에 의한 것으로 보여지며 Neel's collinear모델과는 현저한 차이를 보이는 희석된 페라이트의 특성을 갖는다. 저온에서의 mossbauer 스팩트럼은 매우 다양한 형태를 보이며 초상자성 cluster의 freezing에 그 원인을 두고 있다. 그 영향으로 온도가 내려감에 따라 다임계적인 자기적 상태를 갖는다. SQUID 측정으로 얻어진 자화값이 50K 이하에서 급격히 감소하였는데 이것은 스핀 freezing과 초상자성 효과를 포함하는 스핀 canting의 효과로 설명되어 진다.

HP1492 is a NifU-like protein of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and plays a role as a scaffold which transfer Fe-S cluster to Fe-S proteins like Ferredoxin. To understand how to bind to iron ion or iron-sulfur cluster, HP1492 was expressed and purified in Escherichia coli (E. coli). From the NMR measurement, we could carry out the sequence specific backbone resonance assignment of HP1492. Approximately 91% of all resonances could be assigned unambiguously. By analyzing results of CSI and TALOS from NMR data, we could predict the secondary structure of HP1492, which consists of three ${\alpha}$-helices and three ${\beta}$-sheets. This study is an essential step towards the structural characterization of HP1492.

Effect of Ag additive element on microstructure of $Fe_{87-x}Zr_7B_6Ag_x$, magnetic thin films on Si(001) substrates has been investigated using Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM) and X-ray Diffraction(XRD). All samples with additive Ag element were made by DC-sputtering and subjected to annealing treatments of $300^{\circ}C{\siim}600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. TEM and XRD showed that perfectly amorphous state in Ag-free Fe-based films was observed in as-deposited condition. The as-deposited Fe-based films with the presence of Ag constituent have a mixture of Fe-based amorphous and nano-sized Ag crystalline phases. In this case, additive element, Ag was soluted into Fe-based matrix. With the increase in additive element, Ag, insoluble nano-crystalline Ag particles were dispersed in the Fe-based amorphous matrix. Crystallization of Fe-based amorphous phase in the matrix of $Fe_{82}Zr_7B_6Ag_5$ thin films occurred at an annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. Upon annealing, the amorphous-Ag crystalline state of Fe-Zr-B-Ag films was transformed into the mixture of Ag crystalline phase + Fe-based amorphous phase + ${\alpha}$-Fe cluster followed by the crystallization process of ${\alpha}$-Fe nanocrystalline + Ag crystalline phases.

The fuel rods in the Pressurized water reactor are continuously supported by a spring system called a spacer grid which is one of the main structural components for the fuel rod cluster(fuel assembly). The fuel rods vibrate within the reactor due to coolant flow. Since the vibration, which is called flow-induced vibration(FIV) can wear away the surface of the fuel rod, it is important to understand it's vibration characteristics. In this paper, the vibration analyses and the tests for the dummy rods supported by New Doublet(ND) spacer grids are described. A new FE model which reflects the contact area between the rod and ND spacer grid spring is developed to replace the previous one by which a good agreement could not be obtained with the vibration test. The natural frequency and mode shape calculated by both the Previous FE model and the new one are compared with those of experiment for a single-spanned rod supported by two ND spacer grids. The results of the new model showed good agreement with the experiment compared with those of previous model. In addition. the new FE model is applied to the vibration analysis for the dummy rod of 2.189 mm tall continuously supported by five ND spacer grids. It is also obtained that the analysis results of the new FE model well agreed to experiment ones as the single-spanned rod.
