This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative activities and tyrosinase inhibition effects of fractions from the distilled water extract of Inonotus obliquus. Moreover, GC-MS based analysis with trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization was carried out for active compound in the extract of I. obliquus. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate fraction was 0.393 mg/ml as a result of the most effective than other fractions. Meanwhile, aqueous fraction showed higher effect in tyrosinase inhibitoty activity. In GC-MS based analysis with TMS derivatization, 7 compounds including syringic acid, vanillic acid and protocatechuic acid were observed in ethyl acetate fraction, and oxalic acid is the main compound in aqueous fraction. As a result, it was confirmed that oxalic acid in aqueous fraction from the distilled water extract of I. obliquus was a compound showing tyrosinase inhibition effect.

E. coli growth is inhibited by organic acids produced in the broth. In order to reduce the inhibition, an electrodialysis unit was used. Model solutions (acetic acid plus distilled water or M-9 medium) were tested in the unit for investigating the optimum condition of current and voltage. Electrodialysis cultures were performed with the optimum condition where the highest current efficiency could be attained. The distilled water plus acetic acid gave us a higher current efficiency than the M-9 plus acetic acid. Electrodialysis efficiently removed acetic acid and so enhanced the specific growth rate of E. coli compared with the control experiment without clectrodialysis.

This work was carried out to elucidate effects of endogenous and exogenous IAA transport on adventitious root formation in Phaseolus vulgaris hypocotyl cuttings. For inverted or normal incubation in distilled water, the adventitious root is always formed at the morphological base but not at the morphological apex. For inverted incubation, in both distilled water and certain chemical solution, the root formation is retarded more at the first stage (0-24 hr) than at the second stage (24-48 hr). When p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (PCIB) was applied to the cuttings at the first stage, theroot formation was inhibited more than at the second stage. Treatment of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic aicd (TIBA)markedly inhibited the adventitious root formation in Phaseolus vulgaris hypocotyl cuttings. This inhibition influenced the root according to the applied stage and period. Therefore, the root formation is more related to the stage of root primordium formation than to the stage of root elongation from the primordium. Inhibition of auxin transport oraction by TIBA or PCIB could also be reversed when hypocotyl cuttings are incubated in exogenously applied IAA solution.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acid fog on the rust formation behavior of weathering steel (SMA50) which is used in uncoated bridges. Weathering steel didn't form the passive film under the environment of acid fog(pH5,6), whereas the environment of distilled water formed the protective oxide film. Therefore, the construction of weathering steel under the environment extremely exposed to SOx and NOx which are the main compositions of acid fog is not adequate. Fatigue limits of weathering steel under acid fog environment are remarkably decreased as compared with environment of distilled water. The corrosive constituents in acid fog has piled up the corrosion products on specimen surface and generated the corrosion pits. Because of the high stress concentration arising at this corrosion pit, relatively low fatigue limits were obtained for acid fog specimens.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile bond strengths of treated alloy surfaces for resin bonded retainers. For the experiment metal surfaces of 5 alloys were teated with sandblasting, Silicoating Rocatec, and cemented with Visio-Gem. All specimens divided into two groups. The group I specimens were treated with 24-hour immersion in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water, and group II specimens were teated with 1500 thermo-cycles from $5^{\circ}C\;to\;55^{\circ}C$. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Bond strength values showed significantly different between sandblasting group and other groups after a 24-hour immersion in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water(P<0.05). 2. All samples were fractured during thermo-cycles for sandblasting group, and bond strength values for Silicoating and Rocatec groups showed significantly different after 1500 thermo-cycles from $5^{\circ}C\;to\;55^{\circ}C$.

This study aimed to compare the efficiency of propylene glycol (PG) and distilled water (DW) as vehicles that would allow diffusion of dye through the root canal system. Human maxillary central incisors were chosen and de-crowned. After enlarging the upper part of the root canal with a Peeso reamer, cementum covering the upper third of the root was removed. The roots were ultrasonically irrigated with 5% NaOCI to remove smear layer.(omitted)

This study evaluated the effect of time before addition and surface treatment on the shear bond strength between new and old(direct and indirect) composites. One hundred specimens of Charisma(Heraeus Kulzer, Germany) and thirty-five of Artglass(Heraeus Kulzer, Germany) were prepared in cavities($10mm{\times}5mm$) in acrylic resin molds. Charisma specimens were stored for 5min., 1hr., 24hrs., and 1 week in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water and Artglass specimens were stored for 1 week in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water.(omitted)

The high density mixed mode adsorbent known by the trade name of Mimo-AD was used to purify lysozyme directly from the hen egg white (HEW). The homogenized hen egg white was treated with the adsorbent in a stirred vessel for lysozyme adsorption, and then the adsorbent, easily separated from the HEW by sedimentation, was packed into a column. The remaining HEW and contaminant proteins were removed by washing with pH 11 distilled water in an expanded-bed state, and subsequently the elution was performed with pH 12 distilled water in a packed-bed state. By this simple and rapid adsorption, washing, and elution procedure, lysozyme was purified to＞95％ with an overall recovery yield of 66％. This process offers a great potential for industrial application by allowing the extraction of lysozyme while retaining the commercial value of HEW.

The optimal quantity of inoculum was determined to screen resistance of garlic cultivars against Sclerotium cepivorum and 30 cultivars was tested. The growth of the pathogen in detached roots, Disease incidence was increased when the inoculum density was raised form 10 to 100 sclerotia. The optimal inoculum density to differentiate resistance or susceptibility of garlic cultivars was seemed to be 50 sclerotia. The cultivars collected from England, Japan, Nepal and Turkey, and cultivars such as common red, PI1356104 and PI135693 were less than the other cultivars in their disease incidence. The growth of S. cepivorum in detached roots varied from 23 to 33 mm according to garlic cultivars. There was no relationship between the disease incidence and the growth in detached roots. The sclerotial germination was increased significantly when root extract was extract was added. The addition of only distilled water resulted in 13% germination, but the addition of 0.25 g of root extract in 100 ml distilled water resulted in more than 85% germination. There was no difference in the stimulation of sclerotial germination among cultivars which showed different resistance.
