오이를 공시재료로 하여, 생육중인 식물 잎으로부터 비교적 신속하게 생체정보 수집이 가능한 비파괴 계측기인 엽록소 측정기, 엽록소 형광측정기, 적외선 엽온측정기, 반사형 분광분석기를 이용하여 질소 결핍장해 오이의 조기 진단 가능성 여부와 그 유용한 정도를 파악하기 위하여 수행한 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 엽록소 측정기의 측정값으로서 질소 결핍장해 오이의 진단은 엽록소 함량 45 SPAD 이하 여부로서 판단할 수 있고, 이에 의한 질소 결핍 장해의 진단은 장해 발생 후 빠르면 3일 정도면 적중율 95%수준의 장해 진단이 가능하고 7∼10일 후엔 높은 정확도의 진단이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 2) 엽록소 형광 측정에 의한 질소 결핍장해 오이의 진단은 장해 발생 후 빠르면 5일째부터 적중률 95%수준의 장해 진단이 가능하며, 이에 의한 오이의 질소 결핍장해 진단은 엽록소 함량 측정에 의한 진단보다는 우수하지 못하다. 그리고 대기-엽온차에 의해 질소 결핍장해 오이의 진단은 불가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 3) 분광분석기의 흡광도 분석에 의한 질소 결핍 진단의 민감 파장대는 562∼564 nm, 700∼724 nm, 1,886∼1,894 nm으로 분석되었다. 이러한 영역의 파장에 의한 질소 결핍장해 오이의 진단은 장해 발생후 3∼4일째부터 적중을 95%수준의 진단이 가능하며, 진단의 정확도는 본 연구에서 사용한 4가지 측정기 중 가장 우수하였다.

Electrical and mechanical properties of polymer sheet at cryogenic temperature have been investigated. Tensile stress(and strain at break) in liquid nitrogen(77K) of 79.7MPa(l.2%) and 117.4MPa(2.05%) are evaluated for films of Polypropylene (PP) and Kapton, respectively. Dielectric loss tangent(tan .delta.) of PP and Kapton films is almost independent of the frequency and tensile stress. Also, field strength of PP film at 77K decreases with increasing the tensile stress.

The maize pathogen Gibberella moniliformis produces fumonisins, a group of mycotoxins associated with several disorders in animals and humans, including cancer. The current focus of our research is to understand the regulatory mechanisms involved in fumonisin biosynthesis. In this study, we employed a proteomics approach to identify novel genes involved in the fumonisin biosynthesis under nitrogen stress. The combination of genome sequence, mutant strains, EST database, microarrays, and proteomics offers an opportunity to advance our understanding of this process. We investigated the response of the G. moniliformis proteome in limited nitrogen (N0, fumonisin-inducing) and excess nitrogen (N+, fumonisin-repressing) conditions by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. We selected 11 differentially expressed proteins, six from limited nitrogen conditions and five from excess nitrogen conditions, and determined the sequences by peptide mass fingerprinting and MS/MS spectrophotometry. Subsequently, we identified the EST sequences corresponding to the proteins and studied their expression profiles in different culture conditions. Through the comparative analysis of gene and protein expression data, we identified three candidate genes for functional analysis and our results provided valuable clues regarding the regulatory mechanisms of fumonisin biosynthesis.

Properties of oxynitride films reoxidized by $N_2{O}$ gas after thermal oxidation and $N_2{O}$ oxide films directly oxidized by using $N_2{O}$ gas on the bare silicon wafer have been studied. From the AES analysis, nitrogen pile-up at the interface of Si/oxynitride and Si/$N_2{O}$ oxide has observed. $N_2{O}$ oxide and oxynitride films have the self-limited characteristics. Therefore, it will be possible to obtain ultra-thin films. Nitrogen pile-up at the interfaces of Si/oxynitride and Si/$N_2{O}$ oxide strengthens film structure and improves dielectric reliability. Although fixed charge densities and interface trap densities of N20 oxide and oxynitride films have somewhat higher than those of thermal $SiO_2{O}$, $N_2{O}$ oxide and oxynitride films showed improved I-V characteristics and constant current stress.

대기 $CO_2$ 상승시 인산공급이 대두식물체의 광합성 및 질소고정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고저 Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN110을 접종한 대두 식물체를 인산결핍구(0.05 m-P) 및 대조구(1.0 mM-P)를 처리하여 정상 $CO_2(400\;{\mu}l/L)$와 상승 $CO_2(800\;{\mu}l/L)$의 조건인 phytotron에서 35일 동안 재배하였다. 인산결핍은 건물량을 정상 $CO_2$ 처리시 51%, 상승 $CO_2$ 처리시 64%를 감소시켰고 총 엽면적도 유의성있게 감소시켰으나 specific leaf weight는 증가시켰다. 광합성 속도 및 잎내부의 $CO_2$농도는 인산결집구에서 감소하였고 그 정도는 $CO_2$ 상승처리시 더욱 컸으며 질소고정능과 근류생체량도 인산결핍시 감소하였으나 잎의 질소농도는 인산대조구가 30% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 $CO_2$ 상승조건에서도 인산이 결핍될 경우 식물생육을 촉진시키지 못하며 인산은 정상 $CO_2$ 농도시 보다 $CO_2$ 상승조건에서 근류의 성장과 작용에 더욱 중요한 역할을 하는것으로 유추된다.

Though there is an abundant supply of nitrogen in the atmosphere, it cannot be used directly by the biological systems since it has to be combined with the element hydrogen before their incorporation. This process of nitrogen fixation ($N_2$-fixation) may be accomplished either chemically or biologically. Between the two elements, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a microbiological process that converts atmospheric di-nitrogen ($N_2$) into plant-usable form. In this review, the genetics and mechanism of nitrogen fixation including genes responsible for it, their types and role in BNF are discussed in detail. Nitrogen fixation in the different agricultural systems using different methods is discussed to understand the actual rather than the potential $N_2$-fixation procedure. The mechanism by which the diazotrophic bacteria improve plant growth apart from nitrogen fixation such as inhibition of plant ethylene synthesis, improvement of nutrient uptake, stress tolerance enhancement, solubilization of inorganic phosphate and mineralization of organic phosphate is also discussed. Role of diazotrophic bacteria in the enhancement of nitrogen fixation is also dealt with suitable examples. This mini review attempts to address the importance of diazotrophic bacteria in nitrogen fixation and plant growth improvement.

Candida albicans, the major human fungal pathogen, undergoes morphological transition from the budding yeast form to filamentous growth in response to nitrogen starvation. In this study, we identified a new function of GST2, whose expression was required for filamentous growth of C. albicans under nitrogen-limiting conditions. The Gst2p showed Gst activity and required response to oxidative stress. The ${\Delta}gst2$ mutant displayed predominantly yeast phase growth in low ammonium media. Such morphological defect of ${\Delta}gst2$ mutants was not rescued by overexpression of Mep2p, Cph1p, or Efg1p, but was rescued by either overexpression of a hyperactive $RAS1^{G13V}$ allele or through exogenous addition of cyclic AMP. In addition, the ${\Delta}gst2$ mutants had lower levels of RAS1 transcripts than wild-type cells under conditions of nitrogen starvation. These results were consistent with the Ras1-cAMP pathway as a possible downstream target of Gst2p. These findings suggest that Gst2p is a significant component of nitrogen starvation-induced filamentation in C. albicans.

In this study, nitrogen ions were implanted into STS 316L austenitic stainless steel by plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) to improve the corrosion resistance. The implantation of nitrogen ions was performed with bias voltages of -5, -10, -15, and -20 kV. The implantation time was 240 min and the implantation temperature was kept at room temperature. With nitrogen implantation, the corrosion resistance of 316 L improved in comparison with that of the bare steel. The effects of nitrogen ion implantation on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the specimen were investigated by the potentiodynamic polarization test, which was conducted in a 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ solution at $70^{\circ}C$. The phase evolution and texture caused by the nitrogen ion implantation were analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer. It was demonstrated that the samples implanted at lower bias voltages, i.e., 5 kV and 10 kV, showed an expanded austenite phase, ${\gamma}_N$, and strong (111) texture morphology. Those samples exhibited a better corrosion resistance.

Assessment of nitrogen and chlorophyll content from crop leaves can help growers adjust N fertilizer rates to meet the demands of the crop. Numerous researchers have presented their studies about spectral signature of plant leaves to characterize the plant features. However, interrelational review and summary were limited and a communication gap exists between the plant science and optical engineering. Understanding the mechanism of leaf interaction to electromagnetic radiation and factors affecting spectrophotometric measurements can enhance the foundation of optical remote sensing technologies. This paper provides extensive review of previous works in optical sensing and explains the basics of plant optics, spectral measurements for plant stress, factors that affect sensitivity to spectral analysis, and applications that deploy optical remote sensing technologies.

In order to study the mechanical properties of high nitoren steel with ageing time, hardness, tensile stress several basic properties of Fe-Mn-Cr-Ni-N steel have been studied. With increasing partial pressure of nitrogen and ageing time to 10h, hardness and tensile stress are increased, but decreased beyond 10h because of over ageing. It is considered that the main factor related with mechnical properties is carbide precipitate, $M_7C_3$ which is precipitated with ageing time in matrix and optimum ageing time is 10h in $60^{\circ}C$.
