The inhibition of aldose reductase (AR) by the extracts from sixteen noxious and exotic plants was examined. Among them, Aster pilosus showed the highest inhibition of AR ($IC_{50}$ value $0.11{\mu}g/mL$). This study showed that A. pilosus with promising AR-inhibitory activities can be utilized for the development of natural therapies for treating and managing diabetic complications.

We fabricated a printed Ag:CNT film as a liquid sensor for the detection of HNS (hazardous and noxious substances) in seawater. The paste required for printing was prepared using Ag powder, MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes), and an organic binder. The heat treatment process for binder removal was optimized. In order to confirm that the sensor was operational, the resistance change characteristics in brine (3.5%) and methanol (99.8%) were assessed at $20^{\circ}C$. EDL (electrical double layer) formation and redox reactivity were confirmed as the most important reactions affect each electrical property of sensor in brine and methanol. From these results, it was determined that printed Ag:CNT film can be applied as a sensor to detect HNS in seawater.

Evodia daniellii $H_{EMSLEY}$, a plant belonging to Rutaceae, is cultivated in Korea and used as a folkmedicine for gastric inflammation, extermination of noxious insects, and headache. The seed oil of this plant also has been used in various diseases, for example, dermatitis, scabies and so forth. From the barks, fruit peels, and seed oil of Evodia daniellii $H_{EMSLEY}$, four crystalline compounds were isolated. Three compounds except one were characterized as methyl sinapate, bergapten, and evodiamine by m.p. determination, elemental analysis, UV, IR, NMR spectra and mass analysis. Even though methyl sinapate was a known synthetic compound, it was not yet reported as a natural product. From the seed oil, unsaponifiable fraction was separated and was analyzed. It was considered to be consisted with sterols, hydrocarbons and tocopherols.

Mycoherbicides are exclusive biotechnology products which offer a non-chemical solution to control noxious weeds on the land as well as aquatic in systems, viz a viz saving environment from hazardous impact of synthetic chemicals. The present paper highlights the mycobiota associated with Eichhornia crassipes infesting Harike wetland area of Punjab and evaluation of their pathogenic potential for futuristic application as a mycoherbicide. Of the 20 isolates tested by leaf detached assay and whole plant bioassays, only one isolate (#8 BJSSL) caused 100% damage to E. crassipes. Further, the culture filtrate of this isolate also exhibited a similar damage to the leaves in an in vitro detached leaf assay. The potential isolate was identified as Phaeoacremonium italicum using classical and modern molecular methods. This is the first report of P. italicum as a pathogen of E. crassipes and of its potential use as a biological control agent for the management of water hyacinth.

Carbon dioxide reduction technologies using photosynthetic microorganism were suggested to overcome environmental destruction caused by $CO_2$ in flue gases from power plant and other industries. However, there are many toxic constituents in flue gas including CO, NOx, SOx. Continuous and Excessive supply of these noxious gases to cells will leads to inhibition of microalgal growth along with partial cell death. In this study, we tested the noxious effect of SOx and NOx on the pH and microalgal growth under photoautotrophic culture in three microalgae of Neochloris oleoabundans, Chlorella vulgaris and Haematococcus pluvialis. As a result, SOx concentration more than 50 ppm led to the rapid reduction of pH, thereby inhibiting of the growth in Neochloris oleoabundans and Chlorella vulgaris. NOx concentration more the 100 ppm reduced the exponential growth of N. oleoabundans and C. vulgaris. And H. pluvialis exhibited low sensitivity to SOx and NOx. Consequently, the three microalgae of N. oleabundas, C. vulagaris and H. pluvialis showed the normal vegetative growth in 25 ppm of NOx and SOx. Above all, H. pluvialis was useful for the $CO_2$ sequestration of the flue gas including high concentrations of NOx and SOx.

Hazardous and noxious substance (HNS) detection sensors were fabricated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and various binder materials for ion batteries. To obtain uniformly printed films, the printing precision according to the substrate cleaning method was monitored, and the printing paste mixing ratio was investigated. Binders were prepared using styrene butadiene rubber + carboxymethyl cellulose (SBR+CMC), polyvinylidene fluoride + n-methyl-2-pyrrolidene (PVDF+NMP), and mixed with MWCNTs. The surface morphology of the printed films was examined using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope, and their electrical properties are investigated using an I-V sourcemeter. Finally, sensing properties of MWCNT printed films were measured according to changes in the concentration of the chemical under the various applied voltages. In conclusion, the MWCNT printed films made of (SBR+CMC) were found to be feasible for application to the detection of hazardous and noxious chemicals spilled in seawater.

In this study, we investigated a carbon nanotube (CNT) film sensor to detect hazardous and noxious substances distributed in seawater. The response change of the sensor was studied according to environmental temperature, and its temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR, α) was measured. The temperature of the CNT film (~50 ㎛) was in the range of 20-50 ℃, and αCNT was calculated to be -0.0011 %/ ℃. We experimentally confirmed that the CNT film had a smaller TCR value than that of the conventional sensor. Therefore, we investigated the response change of the CNT sensor according to temperature. The CNT sensor showed a relatively small error of approximately 2.3 % up to 30 ℃, which is within the temperature range of the seawater of the Korean Peninsula. However, when the temperature exceeded 40 ℃, the error in the CNT sensor increased by more than 5.2 %. We fabricated a metal oxide (ITO, indium-tin-oxide) film and compared its performance with that of the CNT sensor. The ITO sensor showed an error of >12.5 % at 30 ℃, indicating that in terms of the stability of the sensor to temperature, the CNT film sensor has superior performance.

다양한 산업의 발달은 우리 인간이 사용해야 하는 수자원으로 여러 가지 형태의 위해성을 함유하는 유해화학물질들의 수적 양적 증가를 초래하였다. 이로 인해 효율적인 수자원의 이용을 위해서는 수자원으로 유입되는 오염원의 사전 처리가 필수적인 것으로 인지되어 국내에서도 수자원으로 유입되는 오염물질에 대해 총량으로 방류업체의 수질을 규제하기 시작했다. 그러나 아직까지도 규명되지 않은 화학물질들이 대다수를 차지하므로 이에 대한 모니터링이 매우 중요한 역할로 자리하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 수계로 유입되는 섬유 및 화학 산업폐수를 중심으로 미량유해화학물질을 계측하여 이들이 낙동강 수계에 미치는 유해성을 검토하였다. 대상으로 한 7개 업체로부터의 유입수와 방류수에서 검출되는 VOCs(volatile organic compounds) 중에서는 클로로포름(chloroform)이 가장 높은 빈도로 검출되었으며, 동일한 업체에서도 노출수준이 일정하지 않아 이의 관리에 어려움이 예상된다. 그러나 이들 업체의 방류수가 유입되는 하수처리장에서는 콜로로포름의 처리효율이 높아(88% 이상) 낙동강 수계의 영향은 그리 크지 않을 것으로 추정된다. 한편, 섬유/화학관련 산업체의 유입수와 방류수로부터 노출되는 EU지정우선물질에 대해 조사한 결과, 검출현황에 대한 일정한 경향을 찾을 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 국내자료의 축적도 거의 없는 상태임을 감안하여 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 국가정책에 활용 할 수 있는 자료구축을 해 나가야 할 것이다.

생물비료는 아직도 한국에서는 생소한 용어다. 한국에서 생물비료라 함은 식물추출액, 퇴비류-다양한 형태의 미생물 혼합제 등으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 식물영양요소의 흡수나 이용도를 증진시키는 토양미생물 사용으로 언급하기도 한다. 본 개관은 식물성장을 증진시키는 것으로 알려진 PGPR 서로 다른 기작과 실질적 역할에 대하여 검토하였다.
