Aluminum oxide films directly grown on n-type 6H-SiC(0001) substrates were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering system. Metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) C-V properties with aluminum oxide thin films showed hysteresis and f1at band voltage shift. The dielectric constant of the film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region was about 5. Typical gate leakage current density of film at room temperature was the order of $10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at the range of within 2MV/cm. The breakdown did not occur at the film within the measurement range.

Extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta protein ($A{\beta}$) plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Some metals, such as copper, lead, and aluminum can affect the $A{\beta}$ accumulation in the brain. However, the effect of mercury on $A{\beta}$ accumulation in the brain is not clear. Thus, this study was proposed to estimate whether mercury concentration affects $A{\beta}$ accumulation in PC12 cells. We treated 10, 100, and 1000 nM $HgCl_2$ (Hg) or $CH_3HgCl_2$ (MeHg) for 48 hr in PC12 cells. After treatment, $A{\beta}_{40}$ in culture medium increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Hg and MeHg increased amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is related to $A{\beta}$ production. Neprilysin (NEP) levels in PC12 cells were decreased by Hg and MeHg treatment. These results suggested that Hg induced $A{\beta}$ accumulation through APP overproduction and reduction of NEP.

Fluoride (F), over a narrow concentration range, increases bone formation. Aluminum (Ai) too is biphasic in its action on bone, being mitogenic at very low levels and inhibitory at higher levels. Both F and Al are present in finished drinking water where the chemical interaction of these two agents is well characterized. F and AI, given individually, accumulate preferentially in bone. In addition. in vivo studies have shown that F causes the co-accumulation of Al in bone. Thus, it was necessary to determine the interactive effect of these two agents on bone mitogenesis. Calvaria were obtained from neonatal CD-1 mice and cultured with various concentrations of F (0.05~19 ppm) as NaF, Al (2 ppb~2 ppm) as $AlCl_3$ , or F and Al for 3 days at $37^{\circ}C$ on a rotating roller drum. Alkaline phosphatase activity in calvaria and $\beta$-glucuronidase activity in culture medium were determined as a measures of bone turnover. Alkaline phosphatase activity in calvaria was significantly increased by F (0.05~2 ppm) treatment and $\beta$-glucuronidase activity was slightly increased in the culture medium of calvaria treated with 0.3 ppm Al. The combination of 19 ppm F and 0.3 ppm Al increased alkaline phosphatase activity in calvaria, but did not affect $\beta$-glucuronidase activity, suggesting the interactive effect of fluoride and aluminum on bone turnover.

In this study, electrochemical damage behaviors with flow rate were investigated for anodized 5083 aluminum alloy in seawater. As the results of anodic polarization experiments and potentiostatic experiments at +1.0 V (vs. SSCE), the non-flow condition presented largely damaged surface resulting from a tendency of local pitting damage. Under various flow rate conditions, however, less surface damages under the application of anodic potential was obtained which is attributed to no accumulation of $H^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions on the surface. On the other hand, the results of the potentiostatic experiments at -1.0 V (vs. SSCE) with flow rate showed that anodized 5083 aluminum alloys could achieve the effective cathodic protection by low cathodic protection current density less than $2.61{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ even under high flow rate of 1 m/s.

Meta1-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor(MFIS) devices using Pt/LiNbO$_{3}$/AIN/Si structure were successfully fabricated. AIN thin films were made into metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) devices by evaporating aluminum in a dot array on the film surface. The dielectric constant of the AIN film calculated from the capacitance in the accumulation region in the capacitance-voltage(C-V ) characteristic is 8. The gate leakage current density of MIS devices using a aluminum electrode showed the least value of 1$\times$10$^{-8A}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$ order at the electric field of 500㎸/cm. A typica] value of the dielectric constant of MFIS device was about 23 derived from 1MHz capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement and the resistivity of the film at the field of 500㎸/cm was about 5.6$\times$ 10$^{13}$ $\Omega$.cmcm

Aluminum (Al) is one of the major factors adversely affects crop growth and productivity in acidic soils. In this study, the effect of Al on plants in soil was investigated by comparing the protein expression profiles of alfalfa roots exposed to Al stress treatment. Two-week-old alfalfa seedlings were exposed to Al stress treatment at pH 4.0. Total protein was extracted from alfalfa root tissue and analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. A total of 45 proteins differentially expressed in Al stress-treated alfalfa root tissues were identified, of which 28 were up-regulated and 17 were down-regulated. Of the differentially expressed proteins, 7 representative proteins were further confirmed for transcript accumulation by RT-PCR analysis. The identified proteins were involved in several functional categories including disease/defense (24%), energy (22%), protein destination (9%), metabolism (7%), transcription (5%), secondary metabolism (4%), and ambiguous classification (29%). The identification of key candidate genes induced by Al in alfalfa roots will be useful to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Al stress tolerance in alfalfa plants.

Aluminum oxide nanoparticles ($Al_2O_3$ NPs) are among the most widely used nanomaterials; however, relatively little information about their risk identification and assessment is available. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the potential toxicity of $Al_2O_3$ NPs following repeated inhalation exposure in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were exposed to $Al_2O_3$ NPs for 28 days (5 days/week) at doses of 0, 0.2, 1, and $5mg/m^3$ using a nose-only inhalation system. During the experimental period, we evaluated the clinical signs, body weight change, hematological and serum biochemical parameters, necropsy findings, organ weight, and histopathology findings. Additionally, we analyzed the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), including differential leukocyte counts, and aluminum contents in the major organs and blood. Aluminum contents were the highest in lung tissues and showed a dose-dependent relationship in the exposure group. Histopathology showed alveolar macrophage accumulation in the lungs of rats in the $5mg/m^3$ group during exposure and recovery. These changes tended to increase at the end of the recovery period. In the BALF analysis, total cell and neutrophil counts and lactate dehydrogenase, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, and interleukin-6 levels significantly increased in the 1 and $5mg/m^3$ groups during exposure. Under the present experimental conditions, we suggested that the no-observed-adverse-effect level of $Al_2O_3$ NPs in male rats was $1mg/m^3$, and the target organ was the lung.

본 연구는 간이 수경재배법을 이용하여 보리의 알루미늄 스트레스 내성과 민감성 품종을 간편하고 빠르게 screen하는 방법을 소개하고, 선별된 품종간의 뿌리의 생장, 뿌리 조직의 염색, 알루미늄 함량, 원형질막의 $H^+$-ATPase의 발현 변화를 조사하여 분석하였다. l. 보리 65가지 품종을 간이 수경재배법을 이용하여 $20{\mu}M$ 알루미늄을 24시간 처리 후 뿌리생장의 차이로 내성 세 품종(자예2, 자예6, 모치무기)과 민감성 세 품종(흰쌀, 올쌀, 품2)을 선별하였다. 2. 알루미늄에 내성 품종은 알루미늄 처리 농도(0, 5, 10, $20{\mu}M$)에 따라 뿌리 생장 감소폭이 적었으나, 민감성 세 품종은 상대적으로 낮은 $5{\mu}M$ 농도에서부터 80%의 생장이 억제되었다. 3. 내성인 자예2와 민감성인 품2의 알루미늄 처리 후, 농도별(0, 5, 10, $20{\mu}M$), 시간별(3, 6, 12, 24시간)로 0.2% hematoxylin으로 염색 시 주로 apex에 3시간 이후부터 염색되었으며, 민감성 품2가 내성인 자예2에 비해 농도와 시간에 따라 그 피해 정도가 매우 심각하였다. 4. $20{\mu}M$로 24 시간 처리된 뿌리 apex(10 mm)의 알루미늄 함량을 측정한 결과, 내성인 자예2는 주당 47.1 nmol의 함량을 보여 주었으나, 민감성인 품2는 주당 64.9 nmol의 높은 함량을 보여 주었다. 5. 24시간 동안 $20{\mu}M$ 알루미늄을 처리한 뿌리 원형질막 $H^+$-ATPase 발현을 western blotting을 통해 분석한 결과, 내성인 자예2는 차이가 없었으나, 민감성 품2는 현저히 억제되었다. 이로 보아 원형질막 $H^+$-ATPase가 알루미늄의 내성 기작에 관여하는 것으로 보인다. 6. 본 연구를 통해 간이 수경재배와 hematoxylin을 이용한 염색으로 간단하고 빠르게 보리의 알루미늄 내성과 민감성 품종의 screening을 할 수 있었고, 보리뿐 아니라 쌀, 밀 등의 다른 종자에도 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

공기유입속도가 $217l{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}min^{-1}$이었을 경우, 고온 호기조를 이용하여 PAC로 응집, 탈수된 조류의 분해 특성을 관찰한 결과 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 10% 폐 식용유의 혼합조건이 본 연구에서 최적 조건으로 온도는 $55^{\circ}C$ 이상을 나타내었고, 수분은 55%를 일정하게 유지하였으며, $CO_2$의 농도는 최고 3.7%, 투입 탄소량의 92%가 $CO_2$-C로 변환하였다. 적정한 폐식용유의 혼합은 미생물의 활동을 활발하게 하였지만 과도한 혼합은 수분 증발로 건조상태로 되었으며 오히려 분해 활성에 저해 영향을 주었다. 처리가 종료된 담체는 고농도의 알루미늄이 축적되어 있으므로 별도의 처리가 요구된다.
