Calocybe indica is an edible mushroom commercially cultivated in India and other tropical countries. In this study, the culture characteristics and optimal conditions of milky mushroom strains were determined. The growth temperature and pH range of milky mushrooms was extensively investigated between 15-35 ℃ and pH 3-11. For efficient cultivation, 20 types of nutrient sources were selected that consisted of one of 21 types of carbon sources, 6 organic nitrogen sources, 6 inorganic nitrogen sources, 13 amino acids, 6 organic acids and 12 inorganic salts. The impact of each of the selected nutrition sources and their concentration on growth was investigated. The optimum pH and temperature were determined to be pH 6.0 and 15 ℃, respectively. The optimum concentration of medium elements for the mycelial growth of C. indica was determined to be as follows: carbon source, 2% maltose; organic nitrogen source, 1% yeast extract; inorganic nitrogen source, 0.1% NaNO₃; amino acid, 0.7% asparagine; organic acid, 0.07% acetic acid; inorganic salt, 0.07 mM MnSO₄.

In the preparation of a hydroxyapatite [HAp]/gelatin [GEL] nanocomposite, the GEL matrix in aqueous solution of $H_3PO_4$ was modified by the introduction of aspartic acid [Asp], asparagine [Asn], and glycine [Gly]. The addition of Asp, Asn and Gly greatly affected the slurry formation of HAp/GEL nanocomposite and the resulting dry body showed variations in toughness with the addition of the different amino acids. The introduction of Asn into HAp/GEL nanocomposite was effective for producing the organic-inorganic interaction between HAp and GEL, and caused the increase of toughness. The formation reaction of the modified HAP/GEL nanocomposites was investigated by using XRD and FT-IR. The organic-organic interaction between the GEL matrix and the additives of Asp, Asn and Gly was confirmed from FT-IR analysis, and the organic-inorganic interaction between HAp nanocrystallites and the modified GEL matrix was also discussed, using FT-IR spectra patterns. Nanocrystallites of HAp were covalently bound with the GEL macromolecules and differently influenced by the modification species of Asp, Asn, and Gly.

The effects of organic Zn-L-selenomethionine (Zn-L-SeMet) at 0.3 ppm on carcass composition, meat characteristics, fatty acid composition, glutathione peroxidase activity, and ribonucleotide content were compared against the commercial inorganic sodium selenite (Na-Se) and the combination of the two, in commercial broilers. A total of 540 one day-old chicks were assigned at random to 3 dietary treatments : i) commercial inorganic selenium as control or T1, ii) a 1:1 ratio of inorganic and organic selenium as T2, and iii) organic selenium as T3. Carcass composition, meat characteristics, cholesterol content, fatty acid composition, and ribonucleotide content were generally unaffected by treatments. However, discrepancy were significantly observed in glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-Px) and water holding capacity, with organic selenium showing higher glutathione peroxidase activity (p<0.01) and lower shrinkage loss (p<0.05), respectively. These findings could be explained by the contribution of organic selenium in bioavailability of GSH-Px. However, having conducted in a commercial close house system with sufficient amount of nutritional supplementation, the present study demonstrated little or no effects of organic Zn-L-SeMet on meat characteristics, fatty acid composition, and ribonucleotide content (flavor characteristic) in broiler chickens.

Transient behavior of fouling resistance was observed with a laboratory-scaled, submerged microfiltration membrane system treating high-turbidity source water consisting of inorganic silica particles and humic acid. Fouling mitigation efficiency with inorganic silica particles caused by aeration was reduced significantly as both humic acid and calcium ion existed together. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed that humic acid was adsorbed onto the surface of inorganic silica particles in the presence of calcium. Turbidity removal was achieved almost completely by submerged MF system regardless of feed compositions. However, the $UV_{254}$ removal of humic acid was improved in the presence of both calcium and inorganic silica particles. Additionally, increasing air-flow rate tended to increase $UV_{254}$ removal efficiency higher than 80%. This may be caused by back-transport of humic acid enhanced by inorganic silica particles providing surface for organic adsorption in the presence of calcium.

Inorganic-organic hybrid polymer provides various advantages including low-temperature process, high dielectric constant and direct photo-patterning. The hybrid dielectric was synthesized by the sol-gel process in which an acid-catalyzed solution of Si alkoxide and Zr alkoxide was used as a precursor. The electrical performance of transistors with hybrid dielectric was investigated.

This study demonstrates a new method for the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles composed of an inorganic silica shell and organic core particles. The organic core particles are prepared with a uniform size using droplet-based microfluidic technology. In the process of preparing the organic core particles, uniform droplets are generated by independently controlling the flow rates of the dispersed phase containing photocurable resins and the continuous phase. After the generation of droplets in a microfluidic device, the droplets are photo-polymerized as particles by ultraviolet irradiation at the ends of microfluidic channels. The core particle is coated with a nano complex composed of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and phosphate ion (Pi) through strong non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction under optimized pH conditions. The polyamine nano complex rapidly induces the condensation reaction of silicic acid through the arranged amine groups of the main chain of PAH. Therefore, this method enabled the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid particles coated with inorganic silica nanoparticles on the organic core. Finally, we demonstrated the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles in a short time under ambient and environmentally friendly conditions, and this is applicable to the production of organic-inorganic hybrid particles having various sizes and shapes.

In this work, the surface of inorganic fillers were modified with some functional groups such as stearic acid, aliphatic long chain, vinylsilane and aminosilane to control the interaction between inorganic fillers and polymer matrix. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) with various amount of vinyl-acetate content and copolyether-ester elastomer were used as polymer matrix. The addition of inorganic fillers increases flame retardancy, but results in steep drop of electrical and mechanical properties, which may be caused by the defect in the interface between organic/inorganic hybrid composites. The hybrid composites are found to show better mechanical properties and higher volume resistivities as inorganic fillers are well dispersed and have good adhesion with polymer matrix. Also, the most effective type of functional group coated on fillers depends on the chemical structure of polymer.

The effects of salts such as aluminum sulfate as inorganic salt(2-4%), and sodium salts of citrate, tartrate, succinate, potassium tartrate and gelatin as organic salts(0.1%) on the formation of ${\alpha}$-calcium sulfate hemihydrate from by-product gypsum of phosphoric acid process under hydrothermal condition at 123$^{\circ}C$ and 133$^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Aluminum sulfate solution exhibited the catalystic effected on the crystallization of ${\alpha}$-calcium sulfate hemihydrate of which was assumed in the prismatic form, and organic salts solution exhibited little effect on the catalystic action to the crystallization, than inorganic salts. In the acidic solution with sulfuric acid(pH=2), needle like crystal of calcium sulfate hemihydrate was obtained. Hydrothermal process with aluminum sulfate solution also showed certain amounts of impurity removal such as phosphorus penataoxide from calcium sulfate hemihydrate.

A new proton conductive inorganic-organic hybrid membrane doped with $H_3PO_4$ was fabricated via sol-gel process wit 3- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GPTMS), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES) and tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) asprecursors. Theproto conductivity of about 3.0$\times10^{-3}S/cm$ was obtained at $120^{\circ}C$ under $50\%$ relative humidity (R.H). DTA curves showed that the thermal stability of the membrane is significantly enhanced by the presence of $SiO_2$ framework up to $250^{\circ}C$. SEM and XRD revealed that the gel is microporou and amorphous. The addition of APTES improved the conductivity of the membranes and the effect of the APTES on the conductivity was also discussed in this paper.
