The mechanisms by which iron is absorbed are similar to those of divalent metals, particularly manganese, lead, and cadmium. These metals, however, show different toxicokinetics in relation to menarche or menopause, although their interaction with iron is the same. This review focuses on the kinetics of these three toxic metals (manganese, lead, and cadmium) in relation to menarche, pregnancy, and menopause. The iron-manganese interaction is the major factor determining sex-specific differences in blood manganese levels throughout the whole life cycle. The effects of estrogen overshadow the association between iron deficiency and increased blood lead concentrations, explaining why women, despite having lower ferritin concentrations, have lower blood lead concentrations than men. Iron deficiency is associated with elevated cadmium levels in premenopausal women, but not in postmenopausal women or men; these findings indicate that sex-specific differences in cadmium levels at older ages are not due to iron-cadmium interactions, and that further studies are required to identify the source of these differences. In summary, the potential causes of sex-specific differences in the blood levels of manganese, lead, and cadmium differ from each other, although all these three metals are associated with iron deficiency. Therefore, other factors such as estrogen effects, or absorption rate as well as iron deficiency, should be considered when addressing environmental exposure to toxic metals and sex-specific differences in the blood levels of these metals.

리그닌 분해에 관련된 효소 중 laccase는 구리 결합부위가, lignin peroxidase와 manganese peroxidase는 헴(heme) 결합부위의 아미노산 서열이 잘 보존된 단백질들이다. 국내에서 분리한 구름버섯(Trametes versicolor)을 대상으로 관련 유전자들의 보존된 지역의 염기서열을 근거로 중합연쇄반응(PCR)에 필요한 primer를 제작하였고, 이를 사용하여 해당 유전자의 조각을 확보하였다. 이를 pGEM-T vector에 cloning하고 그 염기서열을 분석한 결과 약 1.3 kb의 laccase조각은 다른 백색부후균의 laccase와 65～97％의 상동성을 보였다. 또한 185 bp의 lignin peroxidase 조각과 443 bp의 manganese peroxidase조각을 타 백색부후균의 효소들과 비교한 결과 각각 80～95％ 및 61～83％의 상동성을 보였다.

본 연구는 KOH 전해질에서 전기화학적으로 석출된 망간 산화물이 산소 환원 반응에 미치는 전기화학적 촉매 역할에 대해 고찰하였다. 나노 사이즈 망간 산화물들은 Glassy carbon(GC), Gold(Au) 그리고 Titanium(Ti)로 이루어진 전극에 전해방식으로 석출시켰으며, 각 전극 표면에 나노 사이즈로 균일하게 분포되어 있는 것이 SEM 관찰을 통해서 확인되었다. 망간산화물의 한 종류인 $\gamma$-MnOOH는 산소 환원반응에 수반되는 4-electron 반응에서 촉매 역할을 하는 것을 확인하였다. 망간산화물이 전기화학적으로 석출된 전극들은 전해석출을 하지 않은 전극들에 비해서 양극 전위가 낮아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A manganese dioxide (MnO₂) layer and zinc (Zn) layer are used as the cathode and the anode to develop filmtype manganese battery, in which a stack of a MnO₂ layer, gel electrolyte, and Zn layer are sandwiched between two plastic layers. This paper describes the chemical equation of swelling control upon the film-type manganese battery. We examined the reduction of hydrogen formation, by using calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂ as an additive in the electrolyte of film-type manganese battery. The phenomena or an effect of reduced hydrogen gas was proven by cyclic voltammogram, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and volume of hydrogen formation. The amount of H₂ gas generation in the presence of Ca²⁺ ion was reduced from 4.81 to 4.15 cc/g-zinc (14%), and the corrosion of zinc electrode in the electrolyte was strongly inhibited as time passed.

A matrix modification was studied for the determination of trace manganese in several seaweeds by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry(ETAAS). The type and quantity of modifiers were investigated to realize the efficient modification. Palladium was chosen as a single modifier. By the addition of palladium(5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) to 2ng/$m\ell$ manganese solution, the temperatures were raised from 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ to 1,20$0^{\circ}C$ for the charring and from 2,10$0^{\circ}C$ to 2,20$0^{\circ}C$ for the atomization as well as the sensitivity and reproducibility were improved. With such optimum conditions, the trace amount of manganese in several seaweeds(laver, tangle and brown seaweed) could be determined by a calibration curve method, and good recoveries of more than 965 were also obtained in the samples in which a given amount of manganese was spiked. The detection limit of this method was about 0.048ng/$m\ell$.

In this study, the effect of mechanical polishing of carbon steel on the tribological properties of manganese phosphate coating on carbon steel has investigated. The microstructure, surface morphology and chemical composition were analyzed by SEM, EDS, and XRD. The surface roughness test was carried out in order to calculate Rvk value by 3D laser microscopy. Also, the tribology property of manganese phosphate coating was tested by ball-on disk. In the results of EDS analysis, coating layer consists of elements such in Mn, P, Fe, and O. XRD showed that (Mn,Fe)₅H₂(PO₄)₄·4H₂O in manganese phosphate coating layer was formed by the chemical reaction between manganese phosphate and elements in carbon steel. As the mechanical polishing degree increased, the friction coefficient was reduced. The rougher the mechanical polishing degree, the better corrosion resistance was obtained.

The electron band structure of manganese-adsorbed graphene on an SiC(0001) substrate has been studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Upon introducing manganese atoms, the conduction band of graphene, that is observed in pristine graphene indicating intrinsic electron-doping by the substrate, completely disappears and the valence band maximum is observed at 0.4 eV below Fermi energy. At the same time, the slope of the valence band decreases by the presence of manganese atoms, approaching the electron band structure calculated using the local density approximation method. The former provides experimental evidence of the formation of nearly free-standing graphene on an SiC substrate, concomitant with a metal-to-insulator transition. The latter suggests that its electronic correlations are efficiently screened, suggesting that the dielectric property of the substrate is modified by manganese atoms and indicating that electronic correlations in grpahene can also be tuned by foreign atoms. These results pave the way for promising device application using graphene that is semiconducting and charge neutral.

The aerobic reaction of 2-(acetylpyridine)-S-methyldithiocarbazate (acpy-mdtcH) and 2-(acetylpyridine)-N-phenylthiosemicarbazate(acpy-phTscH) with manganese(Ⅱ) acetate affords Mn(acpy-mdtc)2 and Mn(acpyphTsc)2, respectively. The spectroscopic data and X-ray structure of Mn(acpy-mdtc)2 are reported. Crystal data for Mn(acpy-mdtc)2; C18H20N6S4Mn, mol wt 503.58, monoclinic crystal system(P21/c) a=12.240(5) Å, b= 10.918(l) Å, c=17.651(3) Å, β=105.93(2), and V=2268(l) Å3, Z=4, 5071 data collected with 0°< 2θ < 52.64°, 2995 data with I > 3σ(I), R= 0.046, Rw= 0.065. The ligands act as tridentate NNS donors. The two Mn-S distances are not equal, and respectively 2.512(2) Å and 2.541(2) Å. The average Mn-N (azomethine) length, 2.242(5) Å, is slightly shorter than the average Mn-N (pyridyl) length, 2.262(5) Å. The coordination environment about MN(Ⅱ) center deviates considerably from octahedral geometry. The manganese(Ⅱ)-manganese(Ⅰ) and manganese(Ⅰ)-manganese(0) reduction potentials of Mn(acpy-mdtc)2 are ∼-l.71 and ∼-l.98 V while those of Mn(acpy-phTsc)2 are ∼-l.87 and ∼-2.11 V vs. Ag/Ag+ in dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively.

The effect of C, Mn, and Al additions on the tensile and Charpy impact properties of austenitic high-manganese steels for cryogenic applications is investigated in terms of the deformation mechanism dependent on stacking fault energy and austenite stability. The addition of the alloying elements usually increases the stacking fault energy, which is calculated using a modified thermodynamic model. Although the yield strength of austenitic high-manganese steels is increased by the addition of the alloying elements, the tensile strength is significantly affected by the deformation mechanism associated with stacking fault energy because of grain size refinement caused by deformation twinning and mobile dislocations generated during deformation-induced martensite transformation. None of the austenitic high-manganese steels exhibit clear ductile-brittle transition behavior, but their absorbed energy gradually decreases with lowering test temperature, regardless of the alloying elements. However, the combined addition of Mn and Al to the austenitic high-manganese steels suppresses the decrease in absorbed energy with a decreasing temperature by enhancing austenite stability.
