Electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) using Pt nanoparticles or bimetal on carabon was studied. Currently, the best catalyst is platinum, which is a limited resource and expensive to commercialize. In this paper, we investigated the cheaper and more active electrocatalysts by making Pt nanoparticles and adding 3D transition metal such as copper. Electrocatalysts were obtained by chemical reduction based on ethylene glycol solutions. Elemental analysis and particle size were confirmed by XRD and TEM. The electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and activity of the catalyst were determined by electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry method. The commercialized Pt support on carbon (Pt/C, JM), synthesis Pt/C and synthesis Pt3Cu1 alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon were compared. We confirmed that the synthesized Pt3-Cu1/C has high electrochemical performance than commercial Pt/C. It is expected to develop an electrocatalyst with high activity at low price by increasing the oxygen reduction reaction rate of the fuel cell.

Various antimicrobial agents are widely used for the purpose of antimicrobial process. We investigated antimicrobial activity and reduction efficiency of mal-ordour by the diphenyl ether compound (2,4,4'- trichloro -2'- hydroxy diphenyl ether) against Sraphylocom aureus(S.aureus and Proton vulgaris(p.vulgaris causing the mal-ordour, Especially, the diphenyl ether compound is not restricted to the regulation of water-contamination. In this research, we found that the optimum concentration of diphenyl ether compound was 1.5w% for both strains and antimicrobial expressions were c0.38t= 2.56 for S.aureus, c0.38t=2.67 for P.vulgaris. We found also that -OH group played the role of antimicrobial functional group. Lastly, reduction effect of mal-ordour was more than 90% for both strain at the optimum conditions. Key Words : antimicrobial agents, antimicrobial activity, reduction effect of mal-ordour, antimicrobial expression, antimicrobial functional group.

본 연구는 수은연속측정시스템의 가장 중요한 구성 요소의 하나인 산화수은을 원소수은으로 환원시킬 수 있는 건식 환원촉매시스템 개발을 목적으로 수행되었다. 산화-환원 표준전위를 기준으로 산화수은의 원소수은으로의 환원반응을 자발적으로 일으킬 수 있는 촉매 대상물질로 Fe, Cu, Ni 및 Co 4종류의 전이금속이 선택되었다. 이들 전이금속 촉매들은 산소가 없는 반응가스 조성에서 산화수은의 원소수은으로의 환원반응에 대해 높은 활성을 보였다. 그러나 산소가 존재하는 경우 환원 활성이 크게 감소하는데 이는 산소에 의해 해당 전이금속이 산화수은 환원 활성이 낮은 전이금속산화물로 변환되기 때문이다. 반응가스에 산소가 존재하여도 수소를 공급하면 산화수은 환원 활성이 크게 증가되는데 이는 산화수은의 환원반응이 진행되는 고온에서 산소와 수소 사이의 연소반응에 의해 산소가 소모되기 때문으로 확인되었다. Fe를 환원촉매로 하고 배기가스에 수소를 공급하는 산화수은 환원촉매시스템은 $SnCl_2$ 수용액을 사용하는 습식화학 환원기술에 필적할 수준의 활성을 나타내기 때문에 상업적으로 적용 가능한 산화수은 환원시스템으로 기대된다.

Slices of rat corpora lutea(CL) incubated with. prostaglandin $F_{{2{\alpha}}}(PGF_{2{\alpha}})$ in Krebs-Hensenleit (K-H) Ringer solution showed a decrease in $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity after 60 min of incubation. However, $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ in vitro did not alter $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity of isolated luteal membrane fractions. Following $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ induced in vivo luteal regression, reduction of Vmax an elevation of the activation energy above transition temperature of the lipid phase of the membrane occurred without changes of Km, optimum pH and transition temperature. These results suggest that reduction of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity after $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ treatment may be due to the reduction of the number of enzyme molecules or to masking of the active site of the enzyme without any change in enzyme characteristics. In addition, a change in membrane bound enzyme activity may be an early step in $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ induced luleolysis.

Soybean, inoculated with effective Rhizobium japonicum 110, were grown by sand culture with nutrient solution containing either of 0, 1, 3, 10 or 30mM NO3-/l, and analyzed growth characteristics, NR activity, N2-fixation activity, and changes of ureide contents during the growing period. The amount of nodule formation decreased abruptly by nitrate treatment, the maximum nodule dry weight was 1.59, 1.05, 0.78, 0.09 and 0.008 g plant-1, respectively for each treatment on the 98th day. Specfic activity of N2-fixation showed the maximum rates of 140, 101, 37, 5 and 2.2 nM dw.mg-1.hr-1, respectively for each treatment in the earlier growth period. The maximum acetylene reduction activity on the 98th day after sowing was 81.5, 35.3, 14.3, 0.1 and 0.0045 $\mu$M C2H4 plant-1.hr-1, respectively for 0, 1, 3, 10 and 30 mM of NO3- gradients. Nitrate reduction activity increased along with nitrate gradients, and decreased abruptly with age. Relative abundance of ureides in plant organs was high in reproductive growth, and showed the maximum value in fully symbiotic dependent plant. Relative abundance of ureides in stem is a useful indication for the evaluation of nitrogen fixation in nodules of symbiotic plant.

This paper dealt with the manufacturing of binary alloy catalyst and showed simple electrochemical method for determing catalytic activity of oxygen reduction in acid or alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst was prepared by impregnating transition metal salts on platinum or silver particles adsorbed before on carbon paper substrate. The electrochemical characteristics of the catalysts was investigated with carbon paper electrode or PTFE-boned porous electrode and then cathodic current densities and tafel slopes were compared. As a result, of all binary catalysts utilized in this work, Pt-Fe, Pt-Mo showed better oxygen reduction activity than pure platinum catalyst in acid electrolyte and Ag-Fe, Ag-Pt, and Ag-Ni-Bi-Ti catalyst did than pure silver catalyst in alkaline electrolyte. The current density of Pt-Fe electrode in acid electrolyte was one and half times higher than that of Pt electrode(~500mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.7VvsNHE).

A Chromate tolerant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the effluent of a tannery showed significant enzymatic activity of chromate reduction. Cells grown in chromate-supplemented medium reduced 8 $\mu\textrm{g}$ chromate/mg protein/h in the presence of NADH/NADPH. The chromate reducing activity was inducible as cells pregrown in chromate showed higher chromate reduction. In contrast, the periplasmic fraction of cells gown in chromate reduce $75\%$ chromate in 4 h and the spheroplast fraction failed to do so, indicating that chromate reductase may be located in the periplasm. The presence of a 30 kDa protein in the periplasmic extracts of cells grown in the presence of chromate, but its absence of the protein in cells grown without chromate, points out a possible role of this protein in chromate reduction.

Effects of water extract of aloe vera on lead-induced neurotoxicity were investigated in sciatic nerve isolated from rat. The mechanism on toxicity reduction by measuring activities of axonal enzymes, metabolism of myo-inositol in nerve, lead concentration in several organs and so on were further examimed. In the lead-treated rats, the transport rate of axonal enzyme, such as acetyl cholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase, was reduced by from 50% to 30% respectively. Reduction in myo-inositol concentration and $Na^+/K^+$ ATPase activity were also observed in sciatic nerve from lead-treated rat. However, the aloe extract administration significantly eliminated the impairment and maintained myo-inositol concentration to about 85% of normal level. Also aloe extract promoted the excretion rate of lead which is accumulated in blood, sciatic nerve and kidney. These results suggest that lead-induced neurotoxicity was significantly reduced by administration of aloe extract and the mechanism might be partly increase in kidney excretion rate of lead and parity normalization of $Na^+/K^+$ ATPase activity which is critical factor in order to keep nerve maintaining normal myo-inositol level.

Fullerene oxide[$C_{60}(O)_n$, ($n{\geq}1$)] was synthesized by dissolving fullerene[$C_{60}$] and 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in toluene under refluxing condition for 5 h. Hybrid fullerene oxide-silver nanoparticle composites were synthesized by dissolving fullerene oxide and silver nitrate[$AgNO_3$] in diethylene glycol under ultrasonic irradiation for 3 h. The synthesized hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible[UV-vis] spectroscopy. The catalytic activity for the reduction of various nitroanilines[NAs] was identified by UV-vis spectrophotometer. The efficiency of the catalytic reduction by the synthesized hybrid nanocomposites has an order of 4-NA > 2-NA > 3-NA.
