Fifteen intact male Jamunapari goats, average body weight $22.0{\pm}1.18kg$ were divided into three groups of 5 animals in each to investigate the effects of feeding leucaena on energy retention and distribution of retained energy. Leucaena leaves and twigs provided 0%, 25% and 50% of CP in the rations of animals in $L_1$ (control), $L_2$ and $L_3$ groups, respectively. Energy balances were determined in an open circuit respiration chamber from gaseous exchange and nitrogen carbon balances. Energy retentions calculated from gaseous exchange data were 181.6, 190.0 and 172.8 kJ/kg $W^{0.75}/d$ and from carbon-nitrogen balances were 178.2, 199.5 and 171.1 kJ/kg $W^{0.75}/d$ in $L_1$, $L_2$ and $L_3$ groups, respectively. No significant difference was observed among the groups in both the methods. The retention of nitrogen and energy in the form of protein was similar in different treatment groups. Similarly, no significant effect was observed on energy retention in the form of fat and total energy retention due to incorporation of leucaena in the diets.

The present study aimed to investigate the diurnal variations in air concentrations and exchange fluxes of ammoniacal nitrogen ($NH_x$: ammonia ($NH_3$) and particulate ammonium) in a subalpine deciduous forest in central Japan during a week in summer. The $NH_3$ concentrations ($0.50\;{\mu}g\;N\;m^{-3}$ on average) showed a clear circadian variation, i.e., high and low in the daytime and nighttime, respectively. The concentration of particulate ammonium in the coarse fractions was extremely low, whereas that for the PM2.5 fraction was relatively high $0.55\;{\mu}g\;N\;m^{-3}$ on average). The main inorganic ion components of PM2.5 at the study site were ammonium and sulfate. The exchange fluxes of $NH_x$ were bidirectional. Both the maximum and minimum values occurred in the daytime, i.e., $0.39\;mg\;N\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ of downward flux and $0.11\;mg\;N\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ of upward flux for $NH_3$ and $0.25\;mg\;N\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ of downward flux and $0.13\;mg\;N\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ of upward flux for PM2.5 ammonium. The exchange fluxes of $NH_x$ at night could be considered as zero. The mean deposition velocity during the research period was almost zero for both $NH_3$ and PM2.5 ammonium. The atmosphere-forest exchange of $NH_x$ in the forest during the study period was balanced. The remarkably large deposition of $NH_x$ was attributable to meteorological events such as showers the night before that thoroughly washed the forest canopy and subsequent clear skies in the morning, which enhanced convection. The cleaning effect of rainfall and the rapid change in convection in the early morning should be monitored to evaluate and generalize the gas and particle exchange in a forest.

The treatment performance and operational parameters of a tertiary wastewater treatment process a biological filtration system were investigated. The biological filtration system consisted of a nitrification filter (Fiter 1) and a polishing filter with anoxic and aerobic parts (Filter 2). SS, T-C-BOD, and T-N in effluent were kept stable at less than 3, 5 mg/L, and 5 mgN/L, respectively, under a HRT in Filter (filter-bed) of 0.37~2.3 h. T-N at the outlet of Filter 2 were about 1~5 mgN/L under the condition of LV of 50~202 m/d. In Filter 2, denitrification was accomplished under LV of 50~168 m/d in a 1 m filter-bed. However, the denitrification capacity reached the maximum when the linear velocity was increased to 202 m/d. Relationship between increase in microorganism and headloss was clearer in Filter 2. As a result, the denitrification rate increased from 1.0~2.3 kgN/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) as the headloss increased. The COD removal rate was 6.0~9.6 kgCOD/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) when operated with Filters 1 and 2. These results mean that captured bacteria contributed a part of COD consumption and denitrification. The maximum nitrification and denitrification rate was 0.5 and 4 kgN/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) in Filter 1 and 2.The ratio of backwashing water to the treated water was about 5~10 %. In Filter 1, wasted sludge in backwashing was only 0.7~5.3 gSS/($m^3$-treated water). In Filter 2, added methanol was converted into sludge and its value was 8.0~24 gSS/($m^3$-treated water). These results proved that this process is both convenient to install as tertiary treatment and cost effective to build and operate.

The fate and use efficiency of applied nitrogen were evaluated in a pot experiment with different fertilizers and water management practices during 30days after fertilizer application. N-P-K compound fertilizers, 13-10-1l(F-l) for upland Crop use and 15-10-10(F-3) for rice Crop use, and mixed fertilizer, 21-17-17(F-2) for basal dressing in rice were used. Fertilizers corresponding to 1.8g N were mixed thoroughly with the whole volume of sandy loam soil in a pot. The pots were flooded upto 3cm above soil surface for O(0dF), 10(10dF), 20(20dF), and 30(30dF) days after fertilizer application and all the treatments were flooded continuously from 30 days after fertilizer application. During the flooding period water percolation rate was adjusted to 2.5mm/day. Rice seedlings were transplanted 40 days after fertilizer application. The pH of infiltrated water increased with increasing duration of flooding. The pH of F-2 was higher than those of F-1 and F-3 between which there were no differences. The applied nitrogen remained 23% in F-1, 29% in F-2, and 29.1 % in F-3, and 45.0% in 0dF, 26.6% in 10dF, 24.8% in 20dF, and 20.3% in 30dF as inorganic nitrogen at 63 days after fertilizer application. Nitrogen losses by leaching amounted to 51.3%, 32.1% and 48.1% of applied nitrogen in F-1, F-2 and F-3, respectively. Nitrogen leaching losses increased with increasing duration of flood- ing, amounting to 25.7%, 29.8%, 32.7%, and 35.8% in 0dF, 10dF, 20dF and 30dF, respectively. Gaseous loss of applied nitrogen was greatest in F-2, followed by F-1 and F-3. Total loss of nitrogen due to gaseous volatilization and leaching was greatest in F -1, followed by F -2 and F-3, and were greater in the treatments with longer flooding after fertilizer application. Nitrogen recovery by rice shoot until 72 days after transplanting were 23.2%, 24.7% and 27.4% of applied nitrogen in F-1, F-2 and F-3, respectively and 34.1%, 25.5%, 21.1%, and 21.2% in 0dF, 10dF, 20dF and 30dF, respectively.

We have synthesized several bicyclic heteroaromatic compounds with bridgehead nitrogen from N-amine salts of heteroaromatic amines. 2-Amino and 2-unsubstituted thiazolo[3,2-b][l,2,4]triazole derivatives 2a-b were prepared by the cyclization reaction from N-amine salts of aminothiazole-5-yl(N-methoxyimino)acetate with cyanogen bromide and formamidine acetic acid salt, respectively. 2-Methylthiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole 2c was obtained from N-acetylated N-amine salt of aminothiazole-5-yl(N-methoxyimino)acetate by the cyclization reaction in the presence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA). 2-Substituted and 2-unsubstituted thiazole[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole derivatives 2a-c were coupled with 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA). Coupled cephalosporin derivatives 1a-c did not have good antibacterial activities in vitro.

To investigate the effects of the exogenous N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ supply level on the nitrate assimilation and growth during the vegetative growth stage, and on the accumulation of organic reserves during the successive regrowth period, dry matter (DM), the amount of nitrogenous compounds, total N and starch in alfalfa plants grown hydroponically with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM KN $O_3$ was estimated, respectively, during vegetative growth period and two cycle of regrowth. When compared with DMs and N contents in various N compounds in the organs grown with 1.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , N starvation symptoms were found in 0.2 mM and a depressive effect was observed in 3.0 mM after 10 weeks of vegetative growth. Total starch content in root system gown with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ during the first regrowth was 50.96, 15.47 and 6.37 mg plant$^{-1}$, respectively. Starch was contained mainly in taproots. The starch content was not significantly changed by 24 days of the second regrowth with 1.0 mM N $H_4$N0$_3$. Total nitrogen content in root system grown with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ during the first regrowth was 6.66, 8.43 and 11.09 mg plant$^{-1}$ , respectively. Nitrogen was contained mainly in lateral roots; 80% (in 0.2 mM), 74% (1.0 mM) and 76% (3.0 mM) of total nitrogen in root system. Total N content in root system at the end of the second regrowth also closely affected by the N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ supply level during the first regrowth. These results suggest that the level of N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ may strongly influence the accumulation of organic reserves in root system, and that the initial level of organic reserves for the successive regrowth was one of the determinants for shoot regrowth.

Nitrogen이 도핑된 graphene에서의 hydrogen evolution에 대한 촉매효과에 대해서 연구를 진행하였다. Reaction free energy를 계산하기 위해서 많은 N-doped graphene 모델을 계산하였으며 pH 조건, silicon cathode의 영향 그리고 zero point energy의 효과를 고려하였다. Volcano plot에 의하면 "pyrol" like model과 N-doped armchair graphene model (aGNR-N1)이 좋은 촉매효과를 가짐을 밝혔다. 또한 free energy diagram을 통하여 "pyrol"과 "aGNR-N1"이 좋은 active site가 될 수 있음을 확인하였고 pH가 증가함에 따라 $H^+$의 에너지가 증가함에 따라 촉매 효과가 줄어듬을 확인하였다.
