To identify the long-term influence of acid rain treatment on tree growth, acid rain of various composition (pH 2.0, pH 4.0 and pH 5.6 as control) was applied to several landscape trees for five months (April through August, 1991). Tree height, pH values and $Al^{3+}$ concentration in soil were investigated. Acid rain treatments seemed to promote height growth in the first year (1991), but have become an inhibiting factor over five years. All of coniferous species and most broad-leaved species, except Acer ginnala, showed opposite trends in height responses to acid rain treatments between the first (1991) and last (1996) year. In contrast, Acer ginnala showed similar trends to acid rain treatments in the height growth between 1991 and 1996. This result suggested that Acer ginnala has a characteristic adapability to acid rain stress. pH values of surface soil were lower than those of 30 cm soil depth. This fact suggested that acid rain treatments made surface soil acidic condition. In addition, physiological characteristics (photosynthesis, stomatal condition and biomass) have to be investigated to identify the relationship between long-term effects of $AL^{3+}$ concentration and growth.

The seasonal and portional variation in the composition of uronic acid of alginic acid from Eckionia cava was investigated. The sample was collected from the coast of Ieechun Illkwangmyun, Yangsangun, Kyungnam, Korea, in the period of January to December in 1982. In seasonal variation of the content of alginic acid, the range of variation was larger in the frond than in the stipe, It was the highest content in between February to April, and the lowest in between August to October, and the content was more in the stipe than in the frond. The uronic acid ratio(M/G ratio) was varied seasonaly in a relationship with the variation of the alginic acid content. The maximum M/G ratio appeared in the period of December to March and minimum May to August, and the average values of the M/G ratios in the periods were 3.08, 2.64 in the frond and 2.91, 1.39 in the stipe, respectively. Additively a year mean values were 3.22 in the frond and 2.18 in the stipe.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic ability of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for Composition determination of urinary stones in phantom model. Seventeen cases with urinary stones who underwent DECT were enrolled in the study. The composition of the urinary stones was extracted from the seventeen patients were analyzed with DECT in phantom model with fresh pork. The volume scan method using Dual-energy software was used and the scanned image sets were assessed. All 17 urinary stones of the phantom model were analyzed according to the stone composition using DE stone Analysis were divided into uric acid stones (n=6, 35.29%) and non-uric acid stones (n=11, 64.71%). These urinary stones were pathologically confirmed. The mean attenuation values of uric acid stones at 135 kV, 100 kV and 80 kV was 348.87 ± 166.37 HU, 345.33 ± 151.18 HU and 337.94 ± 172.77 HU, respectively. The mean attenuation values of non-uric acid stones at 135 kV, 100 kV and 80 kV was 551.93 ± 297.09 HU, 747.04 ± 351.31 HU and 958.19 ± 424.72 HU, respectively. At 80 kV, uric acid stones and non-uric acid stones showed significant difference in the attenuation values(P<0.05). The attenuation values of DECT could differentiate the compositions of urinary stones between uric acid and non-uric acid stones at 80 kV in phantom model.

Media components, including date juice, sodium acetate, peptone, and $K_{2}HPO_4$, which were screened by Plackett-Burman fractional factorial design, were optimized for lactic acid production from date juice using the response surface method (RSM). Sodium acetate, peptone (p<0.0001), and $K_{2}HPO_4$ (p=0.0029) were highly significant in influencing the lactic acid production. Close correlationship between predicted and experimental values was observed. When the optimum values of the parameters obtained through RSM (25.0 g/l date sugar, 15.0 g/l sodium acetate, 19.1 g/l peptone, and 4.7 g/l $K_{2}HPO_4$) were applied, lactic acid production (22.7 g/l) increased by 50.33%, compared with unoptimized media (15.1 g/l). The subsequent validation experiments confirmed the validity of the statistical model.

Backward trajectory analysis was carried out for 41 cases at 850 hPa level and 47 cases at 700 hPa level during the period from May 1992 to August 1993 in order to understand the impact of long-range transported pollutants from the neighboring countries on the distribution pattern of acid rain in Korea. The occurrence frequencies of acid rain were also investigated using the rainwater data observed at 5 stations in the central part of Korea, Kangwha, Seoul, Yangpyong, Hongchon, and Inje. The trajectory analysis showed that westerlies were dominant on 700 hPa level and southwesterlies on 850 hPa level in Korea. The pH values were also often lower when the trajectory was stagnant in the upper air over Korea. However, pH values were normally higher in all directions of flows during the Yellow Sand Period due to the increase of Positive ion components such as $Ca^{+2}$. The pH values were also normally higher when air flows from north or northeast.

In the present investigation, holographic interferometry was utilized for the first time to monitor in situ the thickness of the oxide film of aluminium samples during anodization processes in boric acid solutions. The anodization process (oxidation) of the aluminium samples was carried out by the technique of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), in different concentrations of boric acid (0.5-5.0% $H_3BO_3$) at room temperature. In the mean time, the real-time holographic interferometry was used to measure the thickness of anodized (oxide) film of the aluminium samples in solutions. Consequently, holographic interferometry is found very useful for surface finish industries especially for monitoring the early stage of anodization processes of metals, in which the thickness of the anodized film of the aluminium samples can be determined without any physical contact. In addition, measurements of electrochemical values such as the alternating current (A.C) impedance(Z), the double layer capacitance($C_{dl}$), and the polarization resistance(Rp) of anodized films of aluminium samples in boric acid solutions were made by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). Attempts to measure electrochemical values of Z, Cdl, and Rp were not possible by holographic interferometry in boric acid especially in low concentrations of the acid. This is because of the high rate of evolutions of interferometric fringes during the anodization process of the aluminium samples in boric acid, which made measurements of Z, Cdl, and Rp are difficult.
