The electrocatalytic activities and surface roughness of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrodes have been investigated after thermal treatment at 100, 150, or $200^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, 2 h, or 8 h. To check electrocatalytic activities, the electrochemical behavior of four electroactive species (p-hydroquinone, $Ru(NH_3){_6}^{3+}$, ferrocenemethanol, and $Fe(CN){_6}^{4-}$) has been measured. The electron transfer rate for p-hydroquinone oxidation and ferrocenemethanol oxidation increases with increasing the incubation temperature and the incubation period of time, but the rate for $Ru(NH_3){_6}^{3+}$ is similar irrespective of the incubation temperature and period because $Ru(NH_3){_6}^{3+}$ undergoes a fast outer-sphere reaction. Overall, the electrocatalytic activities of ITO electrodes increase with increasing the incubation temperature and period. The surface roughness of ITO electrodes increases with increasing the incubation temperature, and the thermal treatment generates many towering pillars as high as several tens of nanometer.

To calculate and predict soil carbon budget and cycle, it is important to understand the complex interrelationships involved in soil respiration rate (Rs). We attempted to reveal relationships between Rs and key environmental factors, such as soil temperature, using a laboratory incubation method. Soil samples were collected from mature deciduous (MD), mature coniferous (MC), immature deciduous (ID), and immature coniferous (IC) forests. Prior to measure, soils were pre-incubated for 3 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and 60% of maximum water holding capacity (WHC). Samples of gasses were collected with 0, 2, and 4 h interval after the beginning of the measurement at soil temperatures of 5, 15, 25, and $35^{\circ}C$ (at 60% WHC). Air samples were collected using a syringe attached to the cap of closed bottles that contained the soil samples. The $CO_2$ concentration of each gas sample was measured by gas chromatography. Rs was strongly correlated with soil temperature (r, 0.93 to 0.96; P < 0.001). For MD, MC, ID, and IC soils taken from 0-5 cm below the surface, exponential functions explained 90%, 82%, 92%, and 86% of the respective data plots. The temperature and Rs data for soil taken from 5-10 cm beneath the surface at MD, MC, ID, and IC sites also closely fit exponential functions, with 83%, 95%, 87%, and 89% of the data points, respectively, fitting an exponential curve. The soil organic content in mature forests was significantly higher than in soils from immature forests (P < 0.001 at 0-5 cm and P < 0.005 at 5-10 cm) and surface layer (P = 0.04 at 0-5 cm and P = 0.12). High soil organic matter content is clearly associated with high Rs, especially in the surface layer. We determined that the incubation method used in this study have the possibility for comprehending complex characteristic of Rs.

we proposed the use of $Si_2H_ 6/H_2$ chemistry for selective silicon epitaxy growth by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) in the temperature range $600~710^{\circ}C$ under an ultraclean environment. As a result of ultraclean processing, an incubation period of Si deposition only on $SiO_2$ was found, and low temperature epitaxy selective deposition on Si was achieved without addition of HCI. Total gas flow rate and deposition pressure were 16.6sccm and 3.5mtorr, respectively. In this condition, we selectively obtained high-quality epitaxial Si layers of the 350~1050$\AA$ thickness. In older to extend the selectivity, we kept high pressure $H_2$ environment without $Si_2H_6$ gas for few minutes after first incubation period and then we conformed the existence of second incubation period.

Mineralization of organic N is an important factor in determining the appropriate rate of organic matter application to paddy fields. A kinetic analysis was conducted for nitrogen mineralization of rice, barley, Chinese milk Ovetch (Astragalus sinicus L.; MV) and narrow leaf vetch straw in paddy soil. Nitrogen immobilization occurred rapidly and its rate increased in straw with high C/N ratio. The amount of nitrogen mineralization was rapid in the first year of rice-vetch cropping system. The rate constant (K) depended on the C/N ratio of organic matter. Mineralization of straw increased at high temperature. The amount of available N increment resulted in fast mineralization of straw, especially in rice and barley straw. Chinese milk vetch had the greatest mineralization rate at all temperatures and fertilization levels followed by narrow-leaf vetch. However, rice and barley straws with high C/N ratio immobilized the soil N at the initial incubation duration. Chinese milk vetch or narrow leaf vetch was not effectively mineralized in mixed treatments with rice or barley straw. The mineralization rate of organic matter was mostly affected by the C/N ratio of straw and temperature of incubation. Organic matter with low C/N ratio should be recommended to avoid the immobilization of soil N and the increasing mineralization rate of straw.

The effects of pH values, temperature and some elements on the amylolytic activity and stability of the purified S. aureofacienc 77 amylase were studied in this investigation. The purified enzyme showed its maximum activity at pH 6 within 8 min incubation at $40^{\circ}C$. None of the tested 6 metals showed on stimulatory effect on the enzymatic activity, $Fe^{+++}$, $Cu^{++}$ and $Hg^{++}$ at high dose inhibited the enzyme activity to great extent as compared with $Zn^{++}$, $Mn^{++}$ and $Fe^{++}$ whih gave less effect in this respect. The enzyme liquor was found to be thermolabile, since it lost completely its activity after 4 days incubation under room temperature and showed maximum activity during this period as a result of additions of $Ca^{++}$and NaCl, Gradual reduction was however recorded until activity reached 30% after 60 days of incubation.

저온에서 메탄발생 경로의 변화에 대하여 팔당호 연안대에서 채취한 저질토 슬러리를 배양하여 실험하였다. 저질토 슬러리의 메탄발생속도는 5${\sim}$45$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 온도가 상승함에 따라서 지수함수적으로 증가하여 45$^{\circ}C$에서 7.4 nmol${\cdot}$g$^{-1}{\cdot}$h$^{-1}$로서 최대에 달한 후 급격히 감소하였다. 배양온도를 고온인 30$^{\circ}C$에서 저온인 15$^{\circ}C$로 감소시키면 메탄발생속도와 수소축적속도가 감소하였고 아세트산은 일시적으로 축적되었다. 배양온도 15$^{\circ}C$와 30$^{\circ}C$에서 클로로포름은 메탄발생을 완전히 억제하였고 메탄발생의 직접적 기질인 수소와 아세트산이 축적되었다. 이 수소와 아세트산의 축적량을 메탄발생량으로 환산하면, 아세트산으로부터의 메탄발생량은 30$^{\circ}C$와 15$^{\circ}C$에서 각각 총메탄발생량의 14%와 75%로 추정되었다. 또한 저온에서 저질토 슬러리에 아세트산을 19 mM 이상으로 첨가하면 메탄발생이 저해되었다. 결국 저온 조건에서는 메탄발생에 대한 아세트산의 상대적 기여도가 증가하고, 고농도의 아세트산에 의하여 메탄과정이 저해되었다. 그러므로 팔당호 연안대 저질토의 유기물 혐기분해에서 아세트산-이용 메탄발생과정은 저온에서 핵심과정이 되고, 고농도의 아세트산에 의한 병목현상이 일어난다고 판단된다.

Korean food waste, one of the abundantly available but environmentally problematic organic wastes in Korea, was utilized as solid-substrate by fungal strain Aspergillus niger ATcC 6275 for the production of enzymemixture containing amylase, cellulase and xylanase. The enzyme mixture can be used as high value-added animal feed. Solid-state fermentation method yielded a 84-fold enhancement in xylanase activity compared with submerged fermentation method. The effect of incubation period, incubation temperature, pH of medium, moisture content, inoculum size and enrichment of the medium with nitrogen and carbon sources were observed for optimal production of these enzymes The optimal amylase activity of 33.10 U/g, cellulase activity of 24.41 U/g, xylanase activity of 328.84 U/g were obtained at 8 days incubation with 50%(w/w) soy bean flake, with incubation temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, pH of 6.38, optimal moisture content of 55% and with inoculum size of $3.8{\times}10^6$spore/g. Enzyme activities were enhanced when ImM $CaSO_4$, 2% Malt extract and 2% galactose were added as mineral, nitrogen and carbon enrichment respectively.

느타리 '흑타리' 품종의 배양 중 고온스트레스에 의해 발생되는 미발이 현상을 구명하기 위하여 배양온도에 따른 생육차이를 조사하였다. PDA 배지에서 '흑타리'의 적정생육온도는 23~26℃였고, 균사생장속도는 '춘추2호'에 비하여 빠른편이었다. 병내 배지온도는 초기에 상승하여 배양 중반에 최고점에 도달한 후 온도가 하강하였다. 배양 온도가 높을수록 배양기간은 짧아졌다. 배양온도 20℃ 처리구에서 배양기간은 25일 정도 소요되었으며, 미발이율은 1.8%, 수량은 139.4 g/병을 나타내었다. 배양온도 24℃ 처리구에서 배양기간은 20일 정도 소요되었으며, 미발이율은 4.2%, 병당수량은 132.1 g/병을 나타내었다. 배양온도 16℃와 28℃처리구에서는 미발이율이 증가되었고 수량이 감소하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 농가에서 배양온도와 미발이율의 관계를 조사하였다. 배양실 온도를 18℃로 설정하고 배지품온을 28℃ 미만으로 관리하는 농가는 미발이율이 0.3~0.8%를 나타내었다. 배양실내의 온도가 20℃ 이상이며 환기가 잘 이루어지지 않은 농가에서는 미발이율이 3.5% 정도 발생되었다. 배양실 온도가 19℃이며 배지 최고 품온이 31.3℃까지 상승하는 농가는 미발이율이 8.2%로 높게 나타났다. 배양중 병내부 온도가 28℃이상 상승하고 배양실내의 환기가 잘 이루어지지 않을 경우 미발이율이 증가하고 수량이 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 결과적으로, 배양실은 배지품온이 28℃ 이상 상승하지 않도록 배양실 내부의 공기를 지속적으로 순환시키고, 배양공간에 맞는 최적의 배양량을 넣어 관리하여야 한다.

Precolumn orthophthaldehyde (OPA) labeling method of sphingoid bases, sphingosine and sphinganine, was investigated to obtain high fluorescent detectability. In order to improve the fluorescent yield, we investigated the optimal solubility of sphingoid bases for five pre-incubation solvents by incorporating the heating procedure before OPA derivatization. The pre-incubation in ethanol prominently increased the fluorescent peak height of OPA derivative for each sphingoid bases in high performance liquid chromatography. About tenfold increase of detectability was archived by pre-incubating lipid extracts pellets in ethanol at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Optimal derivatization was performed in 30 min at ambient temperature and the fluorescent intensity of OPA derivative was stable for two weeks at $4^{\circ}C$. The detection limit of sphingosine was 0.1 pmol as injected amount. This method was applied to the determination of cellular sphingosine and sphinganine in various human lung cancer cells. This OPA procedure was prospective to be useful for quantitating the amount of sphingoid bases in other cancer cells.
