Many isolated featureless domains were explicitly observed even at the air-water interface. We measured the surface pressure shift originating from the photo-isomerization of azobenzene units on the periphery of dendrimers. The maximum surface pressure was gradual1y increased and saturated by cyclic compression and decompression. By irradiation of 365 [nm] light, the surface pressure was increased, which was originated by the photo-isomerization process of the azobenzene group on the periphery from trans to cia form. The increase of the dipole moment ($\mu$), which may increase the interaction among Azo dendrimer molecules, made an important role on surface pressure shift. From the absorbance spectrum by UV irradiation and heat treatment, we can see that the absorbance in the UV region decreases with the increase of the UV irradiation time, but the peak at 350 m, characteristic of dendrimers in the LB monolayers, was not shifted until four irradiation cycles. This suggests that optical behavior and morphological change are affected by the functional group and the symmetric chain.

A bacterium capable of producing melanin pigment in the presence of L-tyrosine was isolated from a crop field soil sample and identified as Klebsiella sp. GSK based on morphological, biochemical, and 16S rDNA sequencing. The polymerization of this pigment occurs outside the cell wall, which has a granular structure as melanin ghosts. Chemical characterization of the pigment particles showed then to be acid resistant, alkali soluble, and insoluble in most of the organic solvents and water. The pigment got bleached when subjected to the action of oxidants as well as reductants. This pigment was precipitated with $FeCl_3$, ammoniacal silver nitrate, and potassium ferricynide. The pigment showed high absorbance in the UV region and decreased absorbance when shifted towards the visible region. The melanin pigment was further charecterized by FT-IR and EPR spectroscopies. A key enzyme, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid hydroxylase, that catalyzes the formation of melanin pigment by hydroxylation of L-tyrosine was detected in this bacterium. Inhibition studies with specific inhibitors, kojic acid and KCN, proved that melanin is synthesized by the DOPA-melanin pathway.

This study was carried out to investigate a point of difference between normal and inferior Korean red ginseng (Naeback red ginseng = red ginseng with white part of clear boundary in phloem and/or xylem of ginseng body, saengnaeback red ginseng red ginseng with white part of indistinct boundary). White part with clear or indistinct boundary in center of ginseng body was observed in inferior red ginseng (naeback and saengnaeback red ginseng), and the differences in the internal color intensity was also found with naked eye. In hunter color values of normal and inferior parts of red ginseng in accordance with particle size, L value was increased with a diminishment in particle size, while a and b value were decreased. Absorbance at visible spectrum did not differ from water and 70% ethanol extract from normal and inferior parts of red ginseng, but absorbance in UV spectrum of extract from naeback part showed higher than those of normal and saengnaeback part. In comparison of intrastructure by electron microscope, the horizontal and vertical section of cortex and pith layer from normal part showed the very dense state, but small holes were found in naeback part of red ginseng by naked eye and electron microscope. The specific surface area of normal, naeback and saengnaeback part appeared 3.02, 3.33 and 6.55 ㎡/g, respectively. From above results, we consider saengnaeback red ginseng is red ginseng in the intermediate process which normal red ginseng changes to naeback red ginseng.

A wood-plastic composite (WPC) paver block was manufactured using wood chips waste through an extrusion process, and it was intended to be used for paving in basic rest areas. The first stage in this study covered preliminary tests in terms of flexural strength and dimensional swelling to determine the optimal WPC compounding mix condition, by variation of the WPC ingredients. Next, three different paver blocks including the WPC block, a non-porous cement block, and a porous cement block were tested in terms of various material properties in the laboratory. Finally, two outdoor test sections of the proposed paver blocks were prepared to simulate a basic rest area. Test results indicated that the flexural strength of the WPC paver blocks was about 1.6 times greater than that of the tested cement paver blocks. The WPC block pavement was unaffected by water buoyance as well as volume expansion due to swelling. Results from the impact absorbance test and light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD) test clearly showed that the WPC block paving system marginally satisfied the comfortable and safe hardness range from the pedestrians' perspective, while the results demonstrated that it is structurally sound for application as a road paving block.

To quantify nutrient loading from emergent macrophytes through leaching in the littoral zones of Paldang Reservoir, we conducted incubation experiments using leaf litter of the emergent macrophyte, Zizaniz latifolia. To separate the leaching process from microbial decay, we used $HgCl_2$ to suppress microbial activity during the experiment. We measured electric conductivity, absorbance at 280nm, total nitrogen and dissolved inorganic nitrogen, total phosphorus and soluble reactive phosphorus, Na, K, Mg and Ca amounts in leaf litter and in water. In addition, we examined the effects of water temperature and ion concentrations of ambient water on the leaching process. A total of 6% of the initial ash-free dry mass of leaf litter was lost due to leaching during incubation (four days). Electric conductivity and A280 continued to increase and saturate during the incubation. To compare reaching rates of different nutrients, we fitted leaching dynamics with a hyperbolic saturation function [Y=AㆍX/(B+X)]. From these fittings, we found that ratios of leaching amounts to nutrient concentration in the litter were in the order of K > Na > Mg > P > Ca > N. Leaching from leaf litter of Z. latifolia was dependent on water temperature while it was not related with ion concentrations in the ambient water. Our results suggest that the leaching process of nutrients, especially phosphorus, from aquatic macrophytes provides considerable contribution to the eutrophication of the Paldang Reservoir ecosystem.

Trihalomethanes (THMs) are formed during the chlorination of waters containing precusors compounds, most commonly humic substances, changes in pH, TOC, temperature, precusor source and concentration chlorine dosage, bromide level and reaction time directly influence trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) and kinetics. A standard THMFP experiment was conducted for each water under the following conditions ; $20^{\circ}C$, pH 7.4, reaction time of 48hr, TOC 5.7mgC/L. A series of kinetic experiments was conducted for each water to provide THM formation under varying conditions of reaction time, pH, temperature and TOC, chlorine dosage. The resultant mutiple parameter powre function predicts a THM which allows direct calculation of THM, is $[THM]=0.00039(pH-2.81)[TOC][Cl_2]^{0.321}\;t^{0.266}\;T^{0.286}$ Characteristics of raw water in advanced drinking water treatment pilot plant were, TOC levels ran from 4.42~6.84mgC/L, pH 7.2~7.8, temperature $7.0{\sim}18.4^{\circ}C$, UV-254 absorbance $0.057{\sim}0.85cm^{-1}$, THM levels ranged from 0.031~0.049mgC/L.

Natural photosynthesis utilizes two proteins, photosystem I and photosystem II, to efficiently oxidize water and reduce NADP+ to NADPH. Artificial photosynthesis which mimics this process achieve water splitting through a two-step Z-schematic water splitting process using man-made synthetic materials for hydrogen fuel production. In this study, Z-scheme system was achieved from the hybrid materials which composed of hydrogen production part as photosystem I protein and water oxidizing part as semiconductor BiVO4. Utilizing photosystem I as the hydrogen evolving part overcomes the problems of existing hydrogen evolving p-type semiconductors such as water instability, expensive cost, few available choices and poor red light (>600 nm) absorbance. Some problems of photosystem II, oxygen evolving part of natural photosynthesis, such as demanding isolation process and D1 photo-damage can also be solved by utilizing BiVO4 as the oxygen evolving part. Preceding research has not suggested any protein-inorganic-hybrid Z-scheme composed of both materials from natural photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis. In this study, to realize this Z-schematic electron transfer, diffusion step of electron carrier, which usually degrades natural photosynthesis efficiency, was eliminated. Instead, BiVO4 and Pt-photosystem I were all linked together by the mediator gold. Synthesized all-solid-state hybrid materials show enhanced hydrogen evolution ability directly from water when illuminated with visible light.

The objective of present work is to evaluate the optimum coagulation conditions in order to decrease dissolved organic carbon(DOC) and turbidity at different polyaluminum chloride dosage and pH from Nakdong River water. This studies were carried out to examine distribution on apparent molecular weight(AMW) of DOC in the Nakdong River water and its coagulation-sedimentation water. On the basis of jar tests, at the optimum coagulation pH in order to decrease DOC and turbidity were pH 5.0~6.0 and optimum dosage of polyaluminum chloride were 10~15mg $Al_2O_3/L$. The removal percentage of DOC and UV-254 absorbance were 35~40%, 45~60%, respectively. In pilot plant, at the optimum coagulation pH in order to decrease DOC and turbidity were 5.0-6.5, and the removal percentage of DOC were 30~45%. Distributions of AMW in the Nakdong River, less than 6,800dalton were 60.7% 6,800~11,000dalton were 32.8%, more than 11,000dalton were 6.4%. When the polyaluminum chloride dosage was 12~20mg/L, the removal percentages of each AMW for AMW of Nakdong River water, less than 6,800dalton were 25~28%, 6,800~11,000dalton were 65~68% more than 11,000dalton were 10~60%.

시금치의 데치기 조건에 다른 시금치 잎의 색변화를 조사하였다. 시금치 잎의 뒷면의 L값(명도)과 b값(황색도)는 앞면보다 높았으나, a값(적색도)은 낮았다. 시금치 잎의 색이 $60^{\circ}C$에서 뒷면은 상당한 변화를 보였고 $70^{\circ}C$이상에서는 앞뒷면 모두 상당한 변화를 보였다. 시금치 양에 대한 물의 비율을 4~7배로 하여 1~4분간 데치기 했을때 L값, a값과 b값 모두 감소하였으며, 특히 뒷면은 앞면보다 L값이 2~3배, b값은 3~4배 감소하였고 색차도 2배이상 높은 값을 보였다. 물의 비율에 관계없이 L값은 데치기 1분이후부터 앞뒷면에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 시금치와 물을 1 : 5로 하였을때 데치기중 액의 432nm와 662nm에서 흡광도는 가열 2분 후부터 크게 증가되었고, 데치기 15초에서의 잎의 색은 데치기 1분에서의 값과 비슷하였고, 액의 흡광도는 1분까지는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 소금(0.5%와 0.9%)은 데치기중 대조구에 비하여 L값, a값과 b값에 큰 영향을 보이지 않았으나 액의 432nm에서의 흡광도를 약간 감소시켰다. microwave oven에 의한 데치기(2~3.5분)에 따른 시금치 잎의 색변화는 앞면은 가열처리구와 비슷하였으나 뒷면의 L값과 b값의 감소비율은 낮았다. 이상의 결과를 요약하면 시금치의 데치기에는 물의 비율이 4배 또는 5배가 적당하며, 소금은 액의 432nm에서의 흡광도를 감소시키고, microwave oven은 끓는 물에 의한 데치기 보다 잎 뒷면의 색소 변화를 줄이는 효과가 있었다. 시금치의 색은 가열에 의하여 짧은 시간에 변하며 액의 흡광도는 2분이후에 크게 증가하므로 이를 기준으로 하면 데치기 시간은 2분이내가 좋으리라 생각된다. 그러나 적절한 데치기 시간은 궁극적으로 관능적으로 평가되어야 하므로 앞으로 이에 대한 연구가 요구된다.

낙동강 상수원수를 대상으로 연속적 오존처리에서 오존주입농도에 따른 유기물 분해 특성을 조사하기 위하여 오존처리에 의한 DOE성분변화, UV254/DOC의 변화와 소비오존에 따른 DOC 제거효율을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 유입원수의 수질변화에 따라 다소 차이는 있었으나 전반적으로 오존주입농도가 증가할수록 DOC 처리효율도 증가되었다. 오존처리에 따른 DOC 성분변화는 전오존을 3 mg/L 농도로 처리시 TDOC, ADOC, A &BDOC 및 NRDOC는 각각 0.6, 0.2, 0.1 및 1.0 mg/L 정도 오존처리에 의하여 감소되었으나 BDOC는 0.8 mg/L 증가하였다. UV254/DOC의 분율은 오존주입농도를 1, 3 및 5 mg/L처리하였을 때 전오존의 경우는 각각 0.048, 0.044 및 0.037 이였고, 후오존의 경우는 각각 0.018, 0.015 및 0.012로 나타나 오존주입농도가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 초기 DOC mg당 소비되는 오존량에 대한 DOC 제거율은 전오존과 후오존처리의 초기 DOC에 대한 소비오존량이 각각 약 1.5와 2.3일 때 각각 25%와 32%로 서 최대의 DOC 처리효율을 나타내었다. 낙동강 상수원수에 전오존을 처리할 경우 오존주입량은 초기 DOC mg당 소비된 오존이 1.5 mg 이내의 농도가 되도록 주입하구 후오존은 유입수인 모래여과수의 초기 DOC mg당 소비된 오존이 2.3 mg 이내의 농도가 되도록 조절하여 주입하면 적당할 것으로 생각되었다.
