The $H_2S$ adsorption characteristics and property analyses of granular activated carbon adsorbent impregnated with basic solution such as NaOH, KOH, and $(CH_2CH_2OH)_2NH$ were investigated. The concentrations of NaOH and KOH reagent ranged over 1 to 5 M, The concentration of $(CH_2CH_2OH)_2NH$ was in the range of 0.1 to 1 M. Adsorption temperature($25{\sim}45^{\circ}C$) and adsorbate ($H_2S$) concentration (18.23 mg/L) were applied. The experimental results showed that the BET surface area of activated carbon impregnated with KOH decreases from $1,050\;m^2/g$ to $750\;m^2/g$, and the acidity of activated carbon impregnated with NaOH decreases from 0.541 meq/g-AC to 0 meq/g-AC, as the concentration of basic solution increases, while the pH of impregnated activated carbon increased from 9.54 to 10.94 for three basic solutions. It was also found that the $H_2S$ adsorption equilibrium capacity of activated carbon impregnated with NaOH, KOH, $(CH_2CH_2OH)_2NH$ increased with increasing temperature and $H_2S$ adsorption equilibrium capacity of the activated carbon impregnated with diethanolamine was much higher than other cases. At adsorption temperature of $45^{\circ}C$, the $H_2S$ adsorption equilibrium capacity of impregnated activated carbon was 2.0~3.3 times lager than that of pure activated carbon.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the optimal cooling rate and the plunging temperature into liquid nitrogen of the 8-cell hamster embryos. The female hamsters were induced to superovulate by intraperitoneal injection of 30 i.u. PMSG. Embryos were flushed from oviduct and uterine horn. Embryos were frozen and incubated with a modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline, and equilibrated with 1.5M-dimethyl sulfoxide by a 3-step procedure. The cooling rate of samples was 1$^{\circ}C$/min from room temperature to -5$^{\circ}C$ and the samples were seeded at -5$^{\circ}C$. The plunging temperatures into liquid nitrogen were -20, -25, -30, -35, -40, -45, -50 and -55$^{\circ}C$ at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, respectively. This mean numbers of ovulation points and recovered embryos were 59.4 and 48.4 appearing 81.6% recovery rate. The percentage of 8-cell embryos in recovered embryos was 68.2. The survival rates of embryos plunged at -45$^{\circ}C$ were 73.5% at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, 44.8% at 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 30.3% at 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, respectively. This mean numbers of ovulation points and recovered embryos were 59.4 and 48.4 appearing 81.6% recovery rate. The percentage of 8-cell embryos in recovered embryos was 68.2. The survival rates of embryos plunged at -45$^{\circ}C$ were 73.5% at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, 44.8% at 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 30.3% at 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, respectively. The survival rates at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min were significantly high. Under the condition of 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rate, the survival rates of embryos according to the plunging temperature were 70.0% and 73.5% at -40 and -45$^{\circ}C$, and those were higher than other plunging temperatures. Under the condition of 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, the survival rates according to the plunging temperatures were lower than the cooling rate of 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, showing the similar tendency at all the plunging temperatures. In conclusion, 8-cell hamster embryos showed the best survival rates at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rate and -45$^{\circ}C$ plunging temperature.

Antigenic domain of jai or surface protein (p30) of Toxoplosmc Sondii was analyzed after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of its gene fragments. Hydrophilic or hydrophobic moiety of amino acid sequences were expressed as glutathione S-transferase (G57) fusion proteins. Fragments of p30 gene were as follows: 737, total p30 open reading frame (ORF) ; S28, total ORF excluding N-terminal signal sequence and C-terminal hydrophobic sequence; Al9, N-terminal 2/3 parts of A28; A19, N-terminal 2/3 of S28; P9, C-terminal 2/3 part of S28; Z9. middle 1/3 of S28; and 29, C-terminal 1/3 of S28. respectively. Primer of each fragment was synthesized to include clamp sequence of EcoR I restriction site. PCR amplified DNA was inserted info GST (26 kDa) expression vector, PGEX-47-1 to transform into Escheri,hia coei (.JM105 strain). G57 fusion proteins were expressed with IPTG induction as 63. 54, 45, 45, 35, 36. and 35 kDa proteins measured by SDS-PAGE. Each fusion protein was confirmed with G57 detection kit. Western blot analysis with the serum of a toxoplasmosis patient revealed antigenicity in proteins expressed by T37. S28, and Al9 but not those by Pl8. X9, Y10, and Z9. Antigenicity of p30 seems to be located either in N-terminal 115 part in the presence of middle 1/3 part or in the oligopeptides between margins of the first and second 1/3 parts.

To synthesize ${\omega}$-3 and ${\omega}$-6 balanced polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) oil mixture, flaxseed oil and sesame oil were mixed and their anti-oxidative and sensory characteristics analyzed. For the fatty acid composition analysis results, the ${\omega}$-3 and ${\omega}$-6 PUFA ratios of the F20S80 oil mixture (flaxseed oil 20% and sesame oil 80% oil mixture) and F10S90 (flaxseed oil 10% and sesame oil 90% oil mixture) were represented as 1 to 10 and 1 to 5 ratio for ${\omega}$-3 and ${\omega}$-6 PUFA content from 4.4% to 42.1% and 8.9% to 39.7%, respectively. Since these were within 1:4~1:10 for healthy functional ${\omega}$-3 and ${\omega}$-6 balanced PUFA oil mixtures, these oil mixtures were healthy functional oil mixtures. To analyze anti-oxidative effects, acid values were analyzed. Samples were stored at room temperature, 70% relative humidity (RH) and $45^{\circ}C$, and 70% RH for 16 weeks. The acid value between F10S90 and S100 stored at $45^{\circ}C$ and 70% RH for 16 weeks were not statistically significant. The sensory characteristics such as oxidative odor and sesame odor and taste were not statistically significant among F20S80, F10S90, and sesame S100. Sensory characteristics between F10S90 and S100 stored at $45^{\circ}C$ and 70% RH for 16 weeks were not statistically significant. In conclusion, the sensory and oxidative characteristics of F10S90 were similar to those of S100. Therefore, F10S90 oil mixture should be used as a ${\omega}$-3 and ${\omega}$-6 balanced PUFA healthy functional oil mixture with high anti-oxidative effects.

ZnO thin films were grown at different plume-substrate (P-S) angles of 90$^{\circ}$ (on-axis PLD), 45$^{\circ}$ and 0$^{\circ}$ (off-axis PLD) using pulsed laser deposition. The x-ray diffraction pattern exhibiting a dominant (002) and a minor (101) peak of ZnO indicates all films were strongly c-axis oriented. By observing of (002) peak, the FWHMs of ZnO (002) peaks decreased and c-axis lattice constant approached the value of bulk ZnO as P-S angle decreased. Whereas the carrier concentration of ZnO thin film deposited at P-S angle of 90$^{\circ}$ was ~ 10$^{19}$ /cm$^{3}$, the Hall measurement of ZnO thin films deposited at P-S angles of 0$^{\circ}$ and 45$^{\circ}$ was impossible due to the decrease of the carrier concentration by the improvement of stoichiometry and crystalline quality. By decreasing P-S angle, the grain size of the films and the UV intensity investigated by photoluminescence (PL) increased and UV peak position showed red shift. The improvement of properties in ZnO thin films deposited by off-axis technique was due to the decrease of repulsive force between a substrate and the particle in plume and the relaxation of supersaturation.

The strain S4-14 which produced alkaline lipase and had resistance against linear alkylbenzene sulfonate was isolated from soil or water samples. The isolated strain S4-14 was identified a species belong to Pseudomonas. Alkalin lipase secreted by Pseudomonas sp. S4-14 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation procedure follwed by DEAE-Cellulose, DEAE-Sepharose and gel filtration chromatohraphies with 995.15 U/mg protein and 16.1% yield. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 65,000 dalton by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme was 10.5 and 45$\circ $C, respectively. The emzyme was stable at 45$\circ $C for 1 hr and in a pH range from 8.0 to 12.0 for 24 hr at 4$\circ $C. The activity of lipase was enhanced by Ca$^{2+}$ while inhibited strongly by Pb$^{2+}$, Zn$^{2+}$ or Fe$^{3+}$. The activity of lipase was inactivated about 50~60% in the presence of 50 mg/l linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, $\alpha $-olefin sulfonate, alcohol ethoxylate or perborate.

This paper describes the weldability and mechanical behavior of JIS S45C medium carbon steel (corresponding to KS SM45C and SAE 1045) for machine structures in CW Nd:YAG laser welding. In general, medium carbon steels have a limited application to the industrial fields in spite of good mechanical characteristics. This is due to welding difficulty because of the high carbon contents and impurities in this material. Therefore, in this study the laser weldability of medium carbon steel with adjusted contents of S and P has been investigated in order to extend the application to medium carbon steels. Several experiments and numerical simulations have been conducted to determine the characteristics of mechanical behavior in CW Nd:YAC laser welds. The results of the simulations concur with the experiment results. From the result of this study, the application possibility of CW Nd:YAG laser welding to medium carbon steel has been confirmed. Also, the appropriateness of mechanical behavior simulation has been verified to analyze and predict the welding phenomena.

The influences of TiC additions to the α-SiC on microstructural, mechanical, and electrical properties were investigated. Electrical discharge machinability of SiC-TiC composites was also studied. Samples were prepared by adding 30, 45, 60 wt.% TiC particles as a second phase to a SiC matrix. Sintering of SiC-TiC composites was done by hot pressing under a vacuum atmospehre from 1000 to 2000℃ with a pressure of 32 MPa and held for 90 minutes at 2000℃. Samples obtained by hot pressing were fully dense with the relative densities over 99% except 60wt.% TiC samples. Flexural strength and fracture toughness of the samples were increased with the TiC content. In case of SiC samples containing 45 wt.% TiC, the fracture toughness showed 90% increase compared to that of monolithic SiC sample. The crack propagation and crack deflection were observed with a SEM for etched samples after Vicker's indentation. The electrical resistivities of SiC-TiC composites were measured utilizing the four-point probe. The electrical dischage machining of composites was also conducted to evaluate the machinability.

TiC ceramic particulate-reinforced titanium matrix composites were fabricated and the resultant densification, microstructure, and static and dynamic mechanical properties were studied. Comparing Ti with TiH₂powders as host materials for TiC ceramic reinforcement by pressureless vacuum sintering, TiH₂-started composites showed better sinterability and resistance to both elastic and plastic deformation than Ti-started ones. When TiH₂and TiH₂-45 vol.%TiC samples were hot pressed, TiH₂matrices transformed to alpha prime Ti and alpha Ti phase, respectively. It is interpreted that the diffusion of an alpha stabilizer carbon from TiC into the matrix is one of the plausible reasons far such a microstructural difference. The 0.2% offset yield strengths of the hot pressed TiH₂and TiH₂-45 vol.%TiC samples were 1008 and 1446 MPa, respectively, in a static compressive mode (strain rate of 1×$10^{-3}$/s). Dynamic compressive strengths of the samples were 1600 and 2060 MPa, respectively, at a strain rate of 4×10³/s.
