Hydrazonium diphosphate crystallizes with the space-group symmetry $P2_1/C.$ There are two formular units of $N_2H_6H_4(PO_4)_2$ in the unit cell, for which $a = 4.52{\pm}0.02, b = 8.06{\pm}0.03, c = 10.74{\pm}0.03{\AA}\;and\; {\beta} = 100{\pm}0.5^{\circ}.$ The determination of the crystal structure was carried out by means of Patterson, Fourier and difference syntheses. The phosphate group has configuration of nearly regular tetrahedron with the mean P-O distance of $1.55{\AA}.$ The N-N distance found is $1.40{\AA},$ which corresponds to previously reported values for the $N_2H_6^{++} \;ion \;in\; N_2H_6SO_4.$ A molecule has a transform with a center of symmetry in it. Each nitrogen atom forms three hydrogen bonds with the N…O distances 2.62, 2.79 and $2.89{\AA}.$ And a O…O hydrogen bond between different phosphate groups is found with the distance $2.63{\AA}.$ The structure is held together by three-dimensional network of the strong hydrogen bonds.

$\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ thin films were prepared on Si substrate by a pulsed laser deposition system and characterized by X-ray and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The appropriate conditions of pulsation was the power of 5.128 W/cm2 at on oxygen pressure of 0.1 Torr at a substrate temperature of 30$0^{\circ}C$. After that the film was heated at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 day. The particles shape deposited on the film was ellipsoidal and the average length and width were 200~300 nm, 70~150 am respectively. The crystal structure was conformed to be of corundums symmetry with the hexagonal unit cell having a lattice constant of u = 5.03$\pm$0.05 $\AA$, c = 13.735$\pm$0.05 $\AA$. The average angles between the atomic spin and the magnetic hyperfine field of Fe ion were 38$^{\circ}$and 48$^{\circ}$ at above and blow the Morin transition temperature respectively. The Morin transition was found to occur at the temperature ranges from 200 K to room temperature and atomic spin direction was assumed to change from 48$^{\circ}$ to 80$^{\circ}$in respect to the c-axis.

Cysteinylglycinase was partially purified from Proteus mirabilis by consecutive procedure. The specific activity was increased about 16-fold to that of cell-free extract. The enzyme was found rather unstable on ammonium sulfate precipitation ann the precipitated enzyme protein became partially insoluble during dialysis. The precipitated enzyme was found to be solubilized by treatment of 4% Triton X-100 effectiviely, The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme activity were 35$^{\circ}C$ and 7.3, respectively. After heat treatment of the enzyme at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, it lost the activity to 70%. The enzyme was stable at pH 7.0-8.0. The molecular weight of the cysteinylglycinase was found to be about 190,000 by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The enzyme was activated by the addition of Mn$^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ions. The maximal activation was obtained in preincubation with $Mg^{2+}$ ion for 30 min. The enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of various dipeptides and tripeptides. The Km and Vmax values for cysteinylglycine were 1.60 mM and 0.24 m unit/ mg, respectively.

In order to develop a new anti-diabetic ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor, we compared the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the cell-free extracts of 48 strains of yeasts isolated from Korean fermented foods, and found that Pichia burtonii Y257-7 exhibited the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 55.6%. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was maximally produced when Pichia burtonii Y257-7 was cultured in LB broth (initial pH of 6.0) at $28^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor, partially purified by Sephadex G-50 gel permeation chromatography and systematic solvents extraction, revealed potent hypoglycemic effects in normal rats and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after the oral administration of starch.

Sludge pre-treatment utilizing cavitation is one of the commercialized methods at present. Cavitation can be generated by two different methods, sonotrode and hydrodynamic principle, and there has been no direct comparison between the two methods. In this study, solubilization efficiency, changes in sludge size distribution, and the methane production potential after pre-treatment by the two methods were compared. The maximum solubilization efficiency per unit energy input with the two methods was similar, and was 302 mg ${\Delta}SCOD/g$ TS at the energy input of 0.18 kWh/L. Break-up of sludge flocs were dominant during the early period of pre-treatment, while cell disintegration continued through the pre-treatment with the increase in the number of particles with less than 1 ${\mu}m$. BMP test results indicated that the methane potential increased up to 24.3% without differences between the two pre-treatments, and the increase in methane potential did not proportional to energy input. Although the energy efficiency of the two methods was quite similar, hydrodynamic methods might be a better choice for field application considering the operation and maintenance cost, and its potential improvement in energy efficiency.

The electrical resistivity of concrete can be related to two processes involved in corrosion of reinforcement: initiation (chloride penetration) and propagation (corrosion rate). The resisistivity of concrete structure exposed to chloride indicates the risk of early corrosion damage, because a low resistivity is related to rapid chloride penetration and to high corrosion rate. Concrete resistivity is a geometry-independent material property that describes the electrical resistance, which is the ratio between applied voltage and resulting current in a unit cell. In previous study, it was realized that the resistivity of concrete depended on the moisture content in the concrete, microstructural properties, and environmental attack such as carbonation. The current is carried by ions dissolved in the pore liquid. While some data exist on the relationship between moisture content on electrical resistivity of concrete, very little research has been conducted to evaluate the effect of chloride on the conduction of electricity through concrete. The purpose of this study is to examine and quantify the effect of chloride content on surface electrical resistivity measurement of concrete. It was obvious that chloride content had influenced the resistivity of concrete and the relationship showed a linear function. That is, concrete with chloride ions had a comparatively lower resistivity. Decreasing rate of resistivity of concrete was clear at early time, however, after 50 days resistivity was constant irrespective of chloride concentration. Conclusively, this paper suggested the quantitive solution to depict the electrical resistivity of concrete with chloride content.

Two crystal structures of fully dehydrated Ca(II) and Tl(I) exchanged zeolite A, $Ca_{5.6}Tl_{0.8}-A (a = 12.242(2){\AA})\;and\;Ca_{1.4}Tl_{9.2}-A (a = 12.191(1){\AA})$, have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in the cubic space group Pm3m at 21(1)$^{\circ}C$. All crystals were ion exchanged in flowing streams of mixed $Ca(NO_3)_2\;and\;TINO_3$ aqueous solution with total concentration of 0.05M. All crystals were dehydrated at 360$^{\circ}C$ under $2{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$ for two days. The structures of the dehydrated $Ca_{5.6}Tl_{0.8}-A$ and $Ca_{1.4}Tl_{9.2}-A$ were refined to the final error indicies, $R_1$ = 0.072 and $R_2$ = 0.076 with 179 reflections for I > 3$\sigma$(I), and $R_1$ = 0.048 and $R_2$ = 0.043 with 226 reflections for I > 3$\sigma$(I), respectively. In each structure, Ca(II) ions are located on threefold axes associated with three 6-ring oxygens. $Ca^{2+}$ ions prefer to 6-ring sites and $Tl^+$ ions prefer to 8-ring sites when total number of exchanged cations per unit cell is more than 8.

In this paper, the multiple-valued adders and multipliers are implemented by current-mode CMOS. First, we implement the 3-valued T-gate and the 4-valued T-gate using current-mode CMOS which have an effective availability of integrated circuit design. Second we implement the circuits to be realized 2-variable 3-valued addition table and multiplication table over finite fields $GF(3^2)$, and 2-variable 4-valued addition table and multiplication table over finite fields $GF(4^2)$ with the multiple-valued T-gates. Finally, these operation circuits are simulated under $1.5\mutextrm{m}$ CMOS standard technology, $15\mutextrm{A}$ unit current, and 3.3V VDD voltage Spice. The simulation results have shown the satisfying current characteristics. The 3-valued adder and multiplier, and the 4-valued adder and multiplier implemented by current-mode CMOS is simple and regular for wire routing and possesses the property of modularity with cell array. Also, since it is expansible for the addition and multiplication of two polynomials in the finite field with very large m, it is suitable for VLSI implementation.

This study was carried out for establishing the physical recycling technique for commercializing process on household batteries. The procedure involves shape separator, crushing, magnetic separation, classification and eddy current separation in sequence. The separation capacity was 400-600 unit cell/hr with shape separation system. The impurities such as manganese and zinc in the magnetic product were below 0.1% respectively, the concentration of iron was above 99% in spent carbon zinc battery. Also non-magnetic products are composed of 22-30% En, 16-22% Mn, 1-3% Fe in the case oi spent zinc carbon battery. The amounts of other components such as carbon rod, plastics and separator were about 37-50%. From the eddy current separation of nonferrous products, the plate-type zinc components were separated up to 96% with 2,250-2,750 meter/min of the conveyor speed.

In this work we have investigated the production of catalase from Bacillus sp. strains, which were screened and identified from soil. These strains were cultivated in shaking flasks with tryptic soy broth (TSB) at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm. Effects of the temperature and pH on the stability of the native catalase and whole cell viability were studied in the temperature range of $25-60^{\circ}C$ and the pH range of 7-13. Korean natural zeolite was added to culture medium and mixed with microorganisms for 24 hours. The native catalase maintained its activity over $50^{\circ}C$. The enzyme acitiviy of the catalase from Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3 was highest among the Bacillus sp. strains studied. Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3 and immobilized Bacillus cells have survived under extreme conditions of over $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 12. 60 mL of 10.5 mM $H_2O_2$ solution were entirely removed within 1 hour with catalase produced from Bacillus sp. on the flask. When Bacillus cells were immobilized on Korean natural zeolite, colony forming unit of Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3 was increased and high efficiency of hydrogen peroxide removal was observed.
