Organic extracts of diesel- exhaust particulates were analyzed for mutagenicity using Ames Salmonella typhimurium assay system. An experimental diesel microbus used was drived on the chassis dynamometer according to CVS-75 mode. The samples were taken from the mixed gases in a dilution tunnel. With a high-volume air sampler equipped with double filter holders, particulate matters were collected on a teflon-coated glass fiber filter placed behind a activated carbon filter. After ultrasonic extraction with benzene- ethanol and evaporation to dryness, the residue was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide. Each sample was tested toward 2 strains, TA100 and TA98 by the pre-incubation method in the absence and presence of S-9mix. Average concentration of diesel- exhaust particulates was about 116.6mg/m$^3$, and 44.1~62.2 ％ to the total weight of particulates, consisted of organic matters. The mutagenicities of diesel- exhaust particulate organic matters were 4,512 and 2,205 revertants/m$^3$ toward TA100 without and with S-9mix, respectively. Those toward TA98 were 13,367 and 3,715 revertants/m$^3$, respectively.

This paper is examine the mutagenic activities of the water samples from Chun-gye and Joong-rang streams in March, 1968. For this examination, adsorbed of mutagens by 'blue cotton' and Ames method using Salmonella typhimurium was used. The results were as follow; 1. The average revertant colonies of the Chun-gye stream on TA 98 was 120/plate and TA 100 was 267/plate. 2. The average revertant colonies of the Joong-rang stream on TA 98 was l06/plate and TA 100 was 407/plate. 3. Chun-gye and Joong-range streams showed about the same mutagenic activities. 4. The mutagenic activity of treated sewage was higher than of untreated sewage. It is considered that, among the influent materials with Zimpro oxidation fluid, human feces and urine increased mutagenic activities.

Insoluble anodes of the Ta/Ir mixed metal oxide for electrodeposition of Ni-W alloy in ammoniacal citrate bath were prepared by thermal decomposition method. Ti plate was etched in boiling oxalic acid solution and coated with ethanol solution of $TaCl_{5}$ and $IrCl_4$ mixed in a fixed ratio, followed by drying and treating at various temperatures. The coating layer of these insoluble anode was characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD and DSC. The decomposition rate of citric acid in plating bath was determined by measuring the $CO_2$ gas evolved at the anodes with Gas Chromatography. Evolution of $CO_2$ gas from Ta/Ir oxide anodes decreased about 5% compared with that of Pt. The $CO_2$ gas evolution was increased with the amount of Ir-oxide in the coatings. The coatings which have more than 40% ratio of Ta content and heat-treated at the temperature higher than $400^{\circ}C$ showed better efficiency

The mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of juices from 20 common edible wild herbs found in Korea were investigated using the spore-rec assay and Ames test. The juices of Hemerocallis fulva and Capsella bursapastoris exhibited a little induction or inhibition of mutagenesis in the presence of selected metal ions, but juices of most edible wild herbs did not affect on the mutagenesis in the spore-rec assay. In the other hand, all of the juices strongly inhibited the mutagenesis induced by benzo[a]pyrene, 2-amino-fluorene, and 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyridol tested on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 or TA100 in the presence of S-9 mix. The antimutagenic effects increased as the concentration of the mutagens increase. The results suggest that concentration of samples or types of various mutagen interact to affect the antimutagenic potential of the juices in the TA98 and TA100 strain.

Single phase $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, ceramics were successfully synthesized from the powders prepared by solid state reaction (sintering temperature: $1100^{\circ}C$, density: $9.3g/cm^3$, average grain size: $5.1{\pm}1.2mm$, space group: Pm3m). Their dielectric properties measured at $-150{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ showed the maximum relative dielectric constant of 31000 at $-41^{\circ}C$. 1 kHz, and typical relaxor ferroelectrics characteristics such as diffuse phase transition and dielectric relaxation phenomena. However, the diffuseness of phase transition decreased and the dielectric properties became more normal ferroelectrics as the time of annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$ increased. By using Raman spectroscopy, it was revealed that the $Fe^{3+}$ and $Ta^{5+}$ ions in the as-sintered $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, are stoichiometrically 1 : 1 ordered within the short-range that can not be probed even by transmission electron microscopy, and this stoichiometric 1 : 1 ordering is enhanced by the annealing. The relaxor ferroelectric characteristics in the as-sintered $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, could be correlated with the stoichiometric 1 : 1 short-range ordering of B-site cations, and the decrease of relaxor ferroelectric characteristics in the annealed $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$ could be correlated with the enhanced stoichiometric 1 : 1 short-range ordering of B-site cations.

Ground state energy levels of the $Fe^{3+}$ paramagnetic impurity ion in stoichiometric $LiTaO_3$ and in congruent $LiTaO_3$ single crystals were calculated with electron paramagnetic resonance constants. Energy levels between six energy levels were obtained with spectroscopic splitting parameter g and zero field splitting constant D for $Fe^{3+}$ ion. The energy diagrams of $Fe^{3+}$ ion were different from different magnetic field directions ([100], [001], [111]) when magnetic field increases. The calculated ZFS energies of $Fe^{3+}$ ion in stoichiometric and congruent $LiTaO_3$ single crystals for ${\mid}{\pm}5/2$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid}{\pm}3/2$ > and ${\mid}{\pm}3/2$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid}{\pm}1/2$ > transitions were 12.300 GHz and 6.150 GHz, and 59.358 GHz and 29.679 GHz, respectively. It turns out that energy levels of $Fe^{3+}$ paramagnetic impurity in $LiTaO_3$ crystal are different from different crystal growing condition.

With the synthetic standards, valuable metals $(Ta_2O_5, Nb_2O_5, TiO_2, SnO_2$, and $ZrO_2$) in the tin slags have been determined by the x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The powder sample and the standards are homogeneously mixed with anhydrous $Li_2B_4O_7$ and La_2O_3$ in weight ratio of 15 : 42 : 3 respectively. The mixed material is fused at $1,150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to be changed into the glass bead. The bead is ground to (-) 325 mesh size and pelletized. The analytical results obtained in this work are consistent with the data obtained by other common methods within allowable error range. The standard deviation for $Ta_2O_5$ in PTS-H sample is 0.12 % at level of 3.40 % content.

This study was performed to determine the antimutagenic and cytotoxic effect of ,Kalopanacis cortex endothelium. Methanol extract was used on Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 and three cancer cell lines. In the Ames test, methanol extract of Kalopanacis cortex endothelium alone did not exhibit any mutagenicity but showed substantial inhibitory effects against mutation induced by 4-nitroquinoline-l-oxide(4NQO), N'-methyl- N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG) and benzo(a)pyrene(B(a)P). The methanol extract of Kalopanacis cortex endothelium showed approximately 79.29% and 75.38% inhibitory effect on the mutagenesis induced by 4NQO and B(a)P, respectively, against TA98 strain. Whereas 79.49%, 89.3% and 68.85% inhibitions were observed on the mutagenesis induced by 4NQO, MNNG and B(a)P against TA100 strain. Methanol extracts from Kalopanacis cortex endothelium showed high antimutagenic effects against 4NQO, MNNG and B(a)P. The anticancer effects of methanol extract from Kalopanacis cortex endothelium against human lung carcinoma(A549), human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human hepatocellular carcinoma(Hep3B) were investigated. The treatment of 0.5mg/ml Kalopanacis cortex endothelium methanol extracts had the highest cytotoxicity against A549(81.54%), followed by MCF-7(81.92%) and Hep3B (78.57%). In contrast 0.5mg/ml treatment of methanol extracts from Kalopanacis cortex endothelium had only $4{\sim}25%$ cytotoxicity on normal human liver cell(293).
