${\beta}{\cdot}In_2S_3$ 및 ${\beta}{\cdot}In_2S_3:Co^{2+}$ 은 $In_2S_3$+S+ZnS를 출발물질로 하여 ($ZnCl_2+I_2$)를 수송매체로 사용한 chemical transport reaction method로 성장시켰다. 성장된 단결정은 tetragonal structure를 갖고 298K에서 indirect optical energy gap은 2.240eV, 1.814eV로 각각 주어졌고, direct optical energy gap은 2.639eV, 2.175eV로 각각 주어졌다. ${\beta}{\cdot}In_2S_3:Co^{2+}$ single crystal에서 impurity optical absorption peak가 나타났으며, 이들 peaks의 origin은 $Co^{2+}(Td)$ ion의 energy level 간의 electron transition임을 crystal field theory를 적용하여 규명하였다.

Newly synthesized 8-hydroxyquinoline based benzothiazole derivative 2 showed a distinctive $Hg^{2+}$-selectivity over other transition metal ions in aqueous solution. The fluorescence emission at 455 nm of 2 was completely quenched upon interaction with $Hg^{2+}$ ions in dioxane-$H_2O$ system (9 : 1, v/v). The selectivity was decreased in the order of $Hg^{2+}\;>>\;Cu^{2+}\;>\;Cd^{2+}\;>\;Pb^{2+}\;{\thickapprox}\;Zn^{2+}\;{\thickapprox}\;Ni^{2+},\;and\;Hg^{2+}$ concentration dependent fluorescence quenching profile was observed in the presence of common interfering metal ions as background. The fluorescence behavior of 2 suggests that the prepared compound could be used as a fluorescent signaling subunit for the construction of new $Hg^{2+}$-sensitive ON-OFF type supramolecular switching systems.

The functional expression of potassium $(K^+)$ channels has electrophysiologically been studied in bone cells from several species, however, their identity and regulation of gene expressions in bone cells are not well known. In the present study, to investigate how $K^+$ channel expressions are regulated by estrogen, we measured changes of transcript levels of various $Ca^{2+}$-activated ($K_{Ca}$) and ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channels in rat osteoblastic ROS 17/2.8 cells after treatment with estrogen. Application of 17${\beta}$-estradiol $(E_2)$ for 24 h and 48 h increased mRNA and protein expressions of inwardly rectifying $K^+$ channel (Kir) 6.2 and type 2 small conductance $K_{Ca}$ channel (SK2), respectively. Combined treatment of cells with 17${\beta}-E_2$ and ICI 182,780, a pure antiestrogen, suppressed 17${\beta}-E_2$-induced alterations of SK2 and Kir6.2 mRNA levels. In addition, treatment of cells with U0126, a specific inhibitor of extracellular receptor kinases (ERK)1/2, and SP600125, a specific inhibitor of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) blocked the enhancing effects of 17${\beta}-E_2$ on SK2 and Kir6.2 protein expressions. On the other hand, blocking of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase had no effect. Taken together, these results indicate that 17${\beta}-E_2$ modulates SK2 and Kir6.2 expressions through the estrogen receptor, involving ERK1/2 and JNK activations.

Among 110 isolates of actinomycetes isolated from ginseng pathogen-suppressive soils, the three actinomycetes showing the effective controls to Fusarium solani or Cylindrocarpon destruc­tans causing ginseng root rots were identified according to their morphological, cultural and physio­logical characteristics on various culture media. Spore chains of K 6-2, S 2-1 and Y 2-2 were Spira (S), Retinaculum-apertum (RA) and Rectus-flexibilis (RF), respectively. Spore surfaces of K 6-2 were spiny, whereas S 2-1 and Y 2-2 were all smooth. Aerial mass colors of 3 isolates were gray series. As a result of various tests, they were identified as Streptomyces variabilis, Streptomyces virgi­niae and Streptomyces griseo/us, respectively.

The sharp-line absorption and emission spectra of $(H_{13}O_6)${$trans-[Cr(Me_2tn)_2Br_2]$}$_2Br_2(ClO_4)\;(Me_2$tn = 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane) have been measured between 13000 $cm^{-1}$ and 16000 $cm^{-1}$ at 5 K. The 298 K infrared and visible absorption spectra have also been measured. The nine electronic bands due to spin-allowed and spin-forbidden transitions were assigned. Using observed transitions, a ligand field analysis has been performed to probe the ligand field properties of coordinated atoms in the title chromium(III) complex ion. The zero-phonon line in the sharp-line absorption spectrum splits into two components by 286 $cm^{-1}$, and the large $^2E_g$ splitting can be reproduced by the modern ligand field theory. It is confirmed that nitrogen atoms of the Me2tn ligand have a strong $\sigma$-donor character, but the bromide has weak $\sigma$- and $\pi$-donor properties toward chromium(III) ion.

It was proved that Hen is an algebraic ,elation of degree [n(l+1]/2] for an (n, 1)-combine. which consists of n LFSRs and l memory bits. For the summation generator with $2^k$ LFSRs which uses k memory bits, we show that there is a non-trivial relation of degree at most $2^k$ using k+1 consecutive outputs. In general, for the summation generator with n LFSRs, we can construct a non-trivial algebraic relation of degree at most 2$^{{2^{[${log}_2$}n]}}$ using [${log}_2$＋1 consecutive outputs.

When saponin extracts of dried ginseng and red ginseng were anaerobically incubated with human intestinal microflora, these extracts were metabolized to compound K and ginsenoside $Rh_2$, respectively. However, when these extracts were incubated with commercial lactic acid bacteria, these did not metabolize these ginsenosides to compound K or ginsenoside $Rh_2$. Among some intestinal bacteria isolated from human feces, Bacteroides C-35 and C-36 transformed these saponin extracts to compound K and ginsenoside $Rh_2$, respectively. These bacteria also transformed water extracts of dried ginseng and red ginseng to compound K and ginsenoside $Rh_2$, respectively, similarly with that of the saponin extracts. Among transformed ginsenosides, compound K and 20(S)-ginsenoside $Rh_2$ exhibited the most potent cyotoxicity against tumor cells.

Al2O3/SiC composite-material was synthesized by the birth-spread mechanism through the carbothermal reduction reaction of SiO2 in Ha-Dong Kaolin with carbon powder under H2 gas atmosphere at 1300~140$0^{\circ}C$. Average diameter of synthesized SiC whiskers were 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and aspect ratio (c/a) was 10~100. Al2O3 particles and SiC whiskers were mixed homogeneously in the reacted pellet.

A gene, dnaK2, encoding a distinct member of the HSP70 family of molecular chaperones is isolated from the halotolerant cyanobactrium Aphanothece halophytica. The dnak2 gene encodes a molecular wight of 68 kDa polypeptide with predicted 616 amino acid residues. The DnaK2 protein has a structural characteristic of bacterial DnaK homologues and shows high similarity to other HSP70/Dank proteins. The danK2 transcripts are hardly detectable at 28$^{\circ}C$ and strongly induced upon heat stress. It is also found that dnaK2 transcript is increased by high-salinity stress even in the absence of heat stress. These results suggest that the DnaK2 protein plays an important role in protecting A. halophytica against damage caused by salt stress at well as heat stress.
