To assess the adsorption and removal mechanism of dissolved inorganic nutrients in seawater by scattering yellow loess, a laboratory experiment was conducted for the change of nutrient concentration in seawater during the course of time depending on particle size and scattered concentration of the yellow loess. Twenty four hours after the addition of yellow loess in the size range of 0 $\mu$m to 500 $\mu$m in seawater, the removal rate of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) was increased with increasing amount of yellow loess. There was little difference among the removal rates depending on the size of yellow loess. On average, $26\%$ of dissolved inorganic silicate was reduced for the same period. No greate difference among the removal rate depending on both size and amount of yellow loess was found. Our results suggested that the removal mechanism of DU seemed to be associated with mostly the chemical bond with iron. More than $99\%$ of initial DU concentration was likely to be removed by this mechanism. In the case of inorganic dissolved silicate, the removal mechanism was likely to be attributed to a cation exchange between the yellow loess and seawater.

Repair and rehabilitation of existing structures is becoming a major part of construction, both in the industrially developed and developing countries. Advanced high strength composites are being utilized more and more for these applications because they are much stronger than steel, non-corrosive, and light. The light weight reduces the construction cost and time sustantially. The fibers are normally made of aramid, carbon, or glass and the binders are typically epoxies or esters. One major disadvantage of these composites is the vulnerability to fire. In most instance, the temperature cannot exceed $300^{\cire}C$. Since carbon and glass can substain high temperatures, an inorganic polymer is being evaluated for use as a matrix. The matrix can sustain more than $1000^{\cire}C$. The results reported in this paper deal with the mechanical properties of carbon composites made with the inorganic polymer and the behavior strengthened reinforced concrete beams. The results indicate that the new matrix can be successfully utilized for a number of applications.

We report a high-performance and air-stable flexible and invisible semiconductor which can be substitute for the n-type organic semiconductors. N-type organic-inorganic nanohybrid superlattices were developed for active semiconducting channel layers of thin film transistors at low temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ by using molecular layer deposition with atomic layer deposition. In these nanohybrid superlattices, self-assembled organic layers (SAOLs) offer structural flexibility, whereas ZnO inorganic layers provide the potential for semiconducting properties, and thermal and mechanical stability. The prepared SAOLs-ZnO nanohybrid thin films exhibited good flexibility, transparent in the visible range, and excellent field effect mobility (> 7cm2/$V{\cdot}s$) under low voltage operation (from -1 to 3V). The nanohybrid semiconductor is also compatible with pentacene in p-n junction diodes.

Wet foams formed through direct foaming were stabilized using various concentrations of amiphiphilic particles that could control pore size and porosity. These porous materials showed moderate strength upon compression with high porosity. Bubble size and wet foam stability were tailored by amphiphile concentration, particle concentration, contact angle, and pH of the suspension to obtain crack-free porous solid after sintering. Closed and open pores were obtained with sizes of 30~300 ${\mu}m$ and porosities of over 80%.

A new estertin, $CH_2CH_2OOCCHCH_2SnCl_3$, was prepared and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography ($P2_12_12_1$; a = 9.439(l), b = 9.601(l), c = 10.779(I) $\AA$, Z = 4) and refined to R = 0.0356. The coordination geometry around the tin atom approximates to a trigonal bipyramid with the intramolecularly coordinated oxygen O(1), (Sn-O(1), $2.482(6){\AA})$ and Cl(2) occupying mutually trans positions (O(1)-Sn-Cl((2), $176.4(2)^{\circ}$).

This study was conducted to investigate inorganic nutrient contents in spur leaf and shoot leaf of 'Niitaka' pear during the growing season and leaf inorganic nutrient contents as influenced by meteorological elements. The contents of N, P, K, and Mg were decreased in spur leaf during their vegetative growth, while Ca and Mn increased. The contents of N, P, K, Mg, and Fe showed no differences between spur leaf and shoot leaf. However Ca, Mn, Zn, and Cu contents were higher in spur leaf than those in shoot leaf, but B content was lower in spur leaf than those in shoot leaf. The content of N in shoot leaf was positively correlated with mean temperature, whereas negatively correlated with maximum temperature. The content of P in spur leaf was negatively correlated with maximum temperature. The content of Ca in spur leaf was negatively correlated with mean temperature, whereas positively correlated with maximum and minimum temperature. The contents of Mg and B in shoot and spur leaf were positively correlated with mean temperature, whereas negatively correlated with maximum and minimum temperature. The contents of Ca and Mn showed significant differences between spur leaf and shoot leaf at mid-July to early August. These results suggest that sampling is important to distinguish between spur leaf and shoot leaf for diagnosis of nutrient conditions in pear trees.

This study was conducted the adsorption experiment way of organic wastewater (BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P) by changing the carbonization temperature and the size of adsorbent to examine the adsorption capacity of Korean traditional charcoal which has similar characteristics to activated carbon of organic pollutants. Also, it was performed the basic experiment for pH and inorganic materials. As a result of observing Korean traditional charcoal with has the greatest inorganic contents which are the important factor of chemical adsorption. As the carbonization temperature was better high temperature charcoal than law temperature charcoal to adsorption capacity of pollutant and as the particle was minute (D size : $3.35mm{\sim}2.0mm$), it was most effective. The result of adsorption experiment of organic wastewater show that the elimination ratio of pollutants by bamboo high temperature charcoal was found as BOD(82.1%), COD(91.7%), TOC(52.4%), T-N(66.6%), T-P(83.2%) and it has most excellent adsorption capacity of organic pollutants.

Selenium and vitamin E are micronutrients essential for normal health and maintenance in poultry. They are necessary in preventing free radical damage to phospholipid membranes, enzymes and other important molecules. Two experiments were conducted in a semi-commercial environment to examine the effect of Se source and vitamin E level in diet on broiler performance and meat quality. Increasing vitamin E from 50 IU to 100 IU did not affect growth performance of broilers although the 24 h drip-loss was tended to be reduced (p=0.06). There was an interaction between vitamin E and the source of Se in glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-Px) and Se concentration in excreta. Increasing vitamin E from 50 IU to 100 IU elevated GSH-Px and Se concentration in excreta by 42 IU/g Hb and 0.9 ppm for the organic Se group, respectively, but reduced GSH-Px and Se concentration in excreta by 16 IU/g Hb and 1.3 ppm for inorganic group, respectively. Vitamin E played no role in the feather coverage of the birds when scored on day 37. Organic Se is more effective in improving feather score and 24 h drip-loss, with a markedly higher deposition rate in breast muscle and a lower excretion rate in the excreta (p<0.05) compared to the inorganic Se source. Both vitamin E and the source of Se did not affect (p>0.05) the energy utilisation by birds.

This study was carried out to determine the possible use of volcano eruption sand at Merapi mountain area compared with clayey soil, alfisol as turfgrass growing media. Indonesia has abundant source of eruption sand and clayey soil. Native zoysiagrass (Z. matrella) was collected from Sleman district and seashore paspalum (P. vaginatum) from Solo region. The experimental plots were treated with both organic and inorganic fertilizers. Zoysiagrass and seashore paspalum can grow on the mixture of eruption volcano sand and alfisol soil. Fertilizers application increased turf color, surface coverage rate and recovery rate of turfgrass. While fertilizer treated alfisol have no effect on the length and dry weight of zoysiagrass root. Mixing of volcano eruption sand on growing media resulted in longer root length, higher shoot dry weight of zoysiagrass than in alfisol soil. Type of fertilizer affected the pH, soil organic matter, total N, available P, available K and electrical conductivity of sand and alfisol after cultivation. Similarly to zoysiagrass, the recovery of seashore paspalum was increased by application of fertilizer, even the inorganic fertilizer showed faster recovery than organic fertilizer. Surface coverage of seashore paspalum was faster than that of zoysiagrass with or without fertilizer.
