Changes in the surface morphology and light scattering of textured Al doped ZnO thin films on glass substrates prepared by rf magnetron sputtering were investigated. As-deposited ZnO:Al films show a high transmittance of above 80% in the visible range and a low electrical resistivity of $4.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The surface morphology of textured ZnO:Al films are closely dependent on the deposition parameters of heater temperature, working pressure, and etching time in the etching process. The optimized surface morphology with a crater shape is obtained at a heater temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, working pressure of 0.5 mtorr, and etching time of 45 seconds. The optical properties of light transmittance, haze, and angular distribution function (ADF) are significantly affected by the resulting surface morphologies of textured films. The film surfaces, having uniformly size-distributed craters, represent good light scattering properties of high haze and ADF values. Compared with commercial Asahi U ($SnO_2$:F) substrates, the suitability of textured ZnO:Al films as front electrode material for amorphous silicon thin film solar cells is also estimated with respect to electrical and optical properties.

고효율 염료감응형 태양전지(DSSC, Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell)의 구현을 위해서 유용한 방법중 하나는 정렬된 기공 (pore)을 $TiO_2$막 내에 형성시키는 것이다. 메조포러스 (mesoporous) $TiO_2$막은 dip coating이나 spin coating과 같은 방법으로 주로 증착되고 있으며, P123이나 F127과 같은 amphiphilic triblock copolymer를 메조포러스 구조를 만들기 위한 뼈대로 사용하고 있다. 또한, 이렇게 생성된 구조에서 amphiphilic triblock copolymer는 열처리 공정을 통하여 쉽게 제거될 수 있다. 고효율 태양전지를 구현하는 또 다른 방법으로는 패턴 된 기판을 사용하는 것이다. 패턴 된 기판은 빛의 반사를 억제하여 흡수율을 높이는 역할을 한다. 그러나 패턴 된 기판 위에서 메조포러스 $TiO_2$막의 형성에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 spin coating 방법으로 패턴 된 Si (111) 기판 위에 메조포러스 $TiO_2$를 성장하고 그 미세구조를 분석하였다. 패턴 된 기판은 nanosphere lithography(NSL) 법으로 mask를 증착한 후 건식 식각 (dry etching) 공정을 통해서 제작되었으며, 마스크와 불순물 등 은 초음파 세척 등으로 제거되었다. 메조포러스 $TiO_2$막은 1-propanol, P123, titanium isopropoxide와 HCl을 섞어 만든 용액으로 1 cm${\times}$1 cm 기판 위에 3000 rpm과 4000 rpm으로 각각 증착하였으며, 5일 동안 4도에서 에이징한 후 350도에서 3시간 열처리하였다. 이렇게 형성한 메조포러스 막의 형상과 미세구조적 특성이 주사전자현미경(SEM, scanning electron microscope), X-선 회절(XRD, X-ray diffraction) 등을 이용하여 연구되었다. 특히, 증착 조건에 따른 메조포러스 $TiO_2$박막의 형성 기구에 관한 고찰이 진행되었다. 나아가, $TiO_2$박막과 패턴 사이에 형성되는 계면 구조에 관한 연구를 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 진행하였다.

Reaction of organic chlorine containing ester, alcohol, and acids with metallic tin and zinc in dimethyl formamide solvent gave a good yield of organo metallic complex. The same reaction under a mixed U.V. irradiation could not give an appreciable yield of the complex except in the case of an elevated reaction temperature. The solvation effect of dimethyl formamide of the metallic complex formation was markedetly increased as compared to the reaction in toluene and cyclohexane. In case of chlorine containing carboxylic acid, the formation of organo chloro zinc complex of the salt was observed. The reaction of organo zinc complex with a carbonyl precursor gave the addition product together with a dimerized product. Especially the aldehyde species enhanced the formation of zinc complex. The addition reaction was simple and convenient, but the yield was not high.(30-40% for the acid, 73% for the ester, 14.6% for alcohol). The result was discussed on basis of solvent effect and the procedures were described.

Chromosomal gene transferable hybrid plasmids, RP4::Mu cts and RP4::mini-Mu, were transferred by conjugation from E. coli to Pseudomonas strains. In order to use for recipient cells of RP4::Mu cts and RP4:: mini-Mu, plasmid-free Pseudomonas strains were characterized for their antobiotic resistance, aromatic hydrocarbon utility and degradation patterns of chlorinated herbicide. Transfer frequencies of RP4::mini-Mu exhibited about $10^{-2}$ to $10^{-4}$, while those of RP4::Mu cts exhibited very low value of $10^{-7}$ in recipients tested except Pseudomonas aeruginosa KU557. Existance of hybrid plasmids in Pseudomonas transconjugants were identified by their antibiotic resistance and agarose gel electrophoresis. In case of RP4::Mu cts transconjugants it was also confirmed by demonstrating that they were capable of releasing phage and forming plaques at $43^{\circ}C$. Plaque forming unit of the transconjugants was about $10^{5}$. It was shown by the stability test that RP4::Mu cts and RP4::mini-Mu in Pseudomonas were relatively stable.

A novel agarolytic bacterium, KY-YJ-3, producing extracellular agarase, was isolated from the freshwater sediment of the Sincheon River in Daegu, Korea. On the basis of Gram-staining data, morphology, and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence, the isolate was identified as Cellvibrio sp. By ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by Toyopearl QAE-550C, Toyopearl HW-55F, and MonoQ column chromatographies, the extracellular agarase in the culture fluid could be purified 120.2-fold with a yield of 8.1%. The specific activity of the purified agarase was 84.2 U/mg. The molecular mass of the purified agarase was 70 kDa as determined by dodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The optimal temperature and pH of the purified agarase were $35^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The purified agarase failed to hydrolyze the other polysaccharide substrates, including carboxymethyl-cellulose, dextran, soluble starch, pectin, and polygalacturonic acid. Kinetic analysis of the agarose hydrolysis catalyzed by the purified agarase using thin-layer chromatography showed that the main products were neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose. These results demonstrated that the newly isolated freshwater agarolytic bacterium KY-YJ-3 was a Cellvibrio sp., and could produce an extracellular ${\beta}$-agarase, which hydrolyzed agarose to yield neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose as the main products.

Six nonpathogenic fungal strains isolated from alkaline soils of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina (Acremonium murorum, Aspergillus sidowii, Cladosporium cladosporoides, Neurospora tetrasperma, Purpureocillium lilacinum (formerly Paecilomyces lilacinus), and Westerdikella dispersa) were tested for their ability to produce keratinolytic enzymes. Strains were grown on feather meal agar as well as in solid-state and submerged cultures, using a basal mineral medium and "hair waste" as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen. All the tested fungi grew on feather meal agar, but only three of them were capable of hydrolyzing keratin, producing clear zones. Among these strains, P. lilacinum produced the highest proteolytic and keratinolytic activities, both in solid-state and submerged fermentations. The medium composition and culture conditions for the keratinases production by P. lilacinum were optimized. Addition of glucose (5 g/l) and yeast extract (2.23 g/l) to the basal hair medium increased keratinases production. The optimum temperature and initial pH for the enzyme production were $28^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. A beneficial effect was observed when the original concentration of four metal ions, present in the basal mineral medium, was reduced up to 1:10. The maximum yield of the enzyme was 15.96 $U_c/ml$ in the optimal hair medium; this value was about 6.5-fold higher than the yield in the basal hair medium. These results suggest that keratinases from P. lilacinum can be useful for biotechnological purposes such as biodegradation (or bioconversion) of hair waste, leading to a reduction of the environmental pollution caused by leather technology with the concomitant production of proteolytic enzymes and protein hydrolyzates.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate a experimental model developed for the protein removal by foam separation. The foam separator was operated in well-mixed tank which would be considered as a completely mixed condition. The feasibility of foam separation to remove protein from sea water was investigated. Protein removal characteristics of the foam separator were obtained by batch experiments. To find the effect of the operating parameter to protein removal rate, the foam separation was carried with variation of initial protein concentration and superficial air velocity. The result indicated that the protein removal efficiency was increased with increasing protein concentration and superficial air velocity. The relationship between operation parameters and protein removal rate were evaluated by non-linear regression as the form of exponential function, Using both relationships, the simplified model was determined. The simplified foam separator operation model was verified by the batch operation. The simulation results showed a good relationship with the experimental data.
