Nickel nanoparticle-poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$ composite (Ni-PVP/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$) was prepared by in situ polymerization method. The physical and chemical properties of Ni-PVP/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$ were investigated by XRD, FT-IR, BET, TGA, SEM and TEM techniques. The catalytic performance of this novel heterogeneous catalyst was determined for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and phenylboronic acid in the presence of methanol-water mixture as solvent. The effects of reaction temperature, the amount of catalyst, amount of support, solvent, and amount of metal for the synthesis of Ni-PVP/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$, were investigated as well as recyclability of the heterogeneous composite. The catalyst used for this synthetically useful transformation showed considerable level of reusability besides very good activity.

A convenient synthesis of sulfonamides from thiols and disulfides is described. In situ preparation of sulfonyl chlorides from thiols is accomplished by oxidation with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCH) under Nbenzyl-trimethylammonium chloride and water. The sulfonyl chlorides are then further allowed to react with excess amine in the same reaction vessel.

New C60 fullerenes derivatives [G1]-C60 (1) and [G2]-C60 (2) comprising of phenylenevinylene bridges and phenylquinoline peripheral surface groups were synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of fullerene C60 with azomethine ylide in situ generated from [Gx]-CHO dendrons (x = 1 and 2) and sarcosine.

An in situ regeneration of activated carbon bed using an ozonated water was studied in order for avoiding the carbon loss, contaminant emission and time consuming for discharge-regeneration-repacking in a conventional thermal regeneration process. Using phenol and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as adsorbates, the adsorption breakthrough and in situ regeneration with the ozonated water were repeated. These organics were supposed to degrade by the oxidation reaction of ozone, regenerating the bed for reuse. As the number of regeneration increased, the adsorption capacity for phenol was reduced, but the change was stabilized showing no further reduction after reaching a certain degree of decrement. The reduction of adsorption capacity was due to the increase of pore size resulting in the decrease of specific surface area during ozonation. The adsorption capacity of phenol decreased after the ozonated regeneration because the in-pore adsorption was prevalent for small molecules like phenol. However, PEG did not show such decrease and the adsorption capacity was constantly maintained after several cycles of the ozonated regeneration probably because the external surface adsorption was the major mechanism for large molecules like PEG. Since the reduction in the pore size and specific surface area for small molecules were proportional to the duration of contact time with the ozonated water, careful considerations of the solute size to be removed and controlling the contact time were necessary to enhance the performance of the ozonated in situ regeneration of activated carbon bed.

The packed column experiments were conducted with a field soil, collected directly from the aquifer located at Bonchon industrial complex in K-city in order to characterize SOM reaction with ozone and to delineate the transformation of water soluble SOM after ozonation. As reaction time increased, water soluble organic matter increased, and this organic matter was in the range of 500∼1000 dalton. pH of extractants decreased with the increase of ozonation time. This Is because aromtic compounds in SOM were oxidized and carboxylic acid groups were formed. From the FT-IR spectra, the content of carboxylate increased as ozone injection time increased and hydroxyl group, which represents phenolic and alcoholic hydroxyl groups decreased. This is because oxidative ring fission formed carboxyl acid groups. This result provides a good agreement with pH decrease.

Background : A presumptive histopathologic diagnosis of tuberculosis is commonly based on the finding of acid-fast bacilli upon microscopic examination of a diagnostic specimens. Although this traditional histochemical staining method is satisfactory, it is time-consuming and not species-specific. For more specific assessment, in situ hybridization assay with oligonucleotide probes is introduced. Methods : The human surgical specimens were obtained from tuberculosis patients, and experimental specimens were made by injecting cultured M. tuberculosis organisms into fresh rat liver. Oligonucleotide probes complementary to ribosomal RNA portion were synthesized and labeled with multiple biotin molecules. For a rapid detection, all procedures were carried out using manual capillary action technology on the Microprobe staining system. Results : The in situ hybridization assay produced a positive reaction in experimental specimens (80-90% sensitivity) after pepsin-HCl pre-treatment for a good permeabilization of probes, but reliable result was not obtained from human surgical specimens. Conclusion : It is, therefore, suggested that biotin-labeled oligonucleotide probes have considerable potential for identification and in situ detection of M. tuberculosis but, there are some barriers to overcome for the diagnostic use of this method.

The feasibility of treating 2-chlorophenol (2CP) contaminated soils with ozone venting was investigated in this research. Adding ozone to the existing air-venting process provides an alternative to achieve a complete in-situ treatment by oxidizing the contaminant in the process. A column study with artificial soil was used to simulate the venting process. Ozone concentrations at 2.4, 7.6 and 19.4 mg/L, and flow rates at 100 and 150 mL/min were used. The reaction times were 10, 20, 50, and 60 minutes. Blank samples using air venting were also run for comparison. It is obvious that ozone-venting had a much faster removal rate than air-venting. As higher concentration of ozone is applied, the reaction rate increased significantly. As higher concentration was applied, the flux of ozone to the liquid film increased. This also increased the removal rate of 2CP and therefore the breakthrough curve came out earlier.

In the citrate reduction method of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis, pH of the reaction mixture can have a considerable impact on the size and size distribution of AuNPs. In this work, effects of pH variation upon the size and its distribution were examined systematically. As the initial pH was change from 5.5 to 10.5, it showed an optimal pH around 7.5. At this pH, both of the size and the size distribution showed their minimum values, which was verified by transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. This occurrence of optimal pH was discussed with the results of in situ monitoring pH during the reaction of AuNP synthesis.

The transesterification reaction could be used to the technical production as it forms an in-situ compatibilizer during the processing of polymer blends. Thus, TR-4,6(poly(tetramethylene-4,4'-terephthaloyldioxydibenzoate-co-hexametylene-4,4'-terephthaloyldioxydibenzoate), one of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers was synthesized and was blended with PBT(polybutylene terephthalate), one of engineering plastics, to study the transesterification reaction. The transesterification reactions between two components, TR-4,6 and PBT, were monitored by IR, DSC and $^{13}C-NMR$ and analyzed by a statistical treatment method. Also, the reaction rates and the sequence distributions of repeating unit were (calculated and) invesitigated.

HIV는 ELISA나 WB에 의해 항체가 검출되기 수개월 혹은 수 년전에도 proviral DNA 상태로 감염된 세포의 chromosome내에 존재하는 것이 주지의 사실이다. 그동안 Southern blot, in situ hybridization등에 의해 이 proviral DNA를 검출하려는 연구가 진행되어 왔으나 lymphocyte $10^{4}$-$10^{6}$개 중 1개가 감염되어 있으며 lymphocyte chromosomal DNA에 비해 viral DNA의 양이 미량이므로 검출하기에는 민감도가 낮은 문제점이 있다. 본 고에서는 근래 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있는 polymerase chain reaction(PCR)을 이용한 HIV의 진단에 관해 살펴보고자 한다.
