The degradation of tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) by vitamin B$_{12}$, an electron mediator was examined when zero valent metals (ZVMs) were used as built electron donors. Dechlorination of PCE and TCE by iron and zinc in the presence of vitamin B$_{12}$ showed that the zinc and vitamin B$_{12}$ combination greatly enhances the reaction rates for both PCE and TCE, but iron and vitamin B$_{12}$ result in an increase in reactivity only for PCE degradation, not for TCE degradation in comparing with meta]s only. This result indicates vitamin B$_{12}$(I) Is active towards both PCE and TCE degradation while vitamin B$_{12}$(II) is active towards both PCE. Calculated activation energies for the dechlorination of PCE in the presence of Vitamin B$_{12}$ showed that vitamin B$_{12}$ lowered the activation energy about 40-60 kJ/㏖ for the both metals.the both metals.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to evaluate the anticorrosive properties of resin(alkyd, epoxy, urethane) and pigment(hydroxy apatite(HAp), zinc potassium chromate(ZPC). red lead(RL)). The corrosion behavior of coatings applied on steel has been investigated during exposure to 0.5M-NaCl The anticorrosive performances of resins were found to depend on their chemical nature and decreased in the order of urethane > epoxy > alkyd resin coating. Hydroxy apatite and zinc potassium chromate pigment which have property to passivate the substrate showed relatively high anticorrosive performance.

A new unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine has been designed and synthesized based on the 'push-pull' and extended ${\pi}$-conjugation concept for the dye-sensitized solar cells. Three tert-butoxy groups, which act as electron releasing ('push'), enhance the solubility of phthalocyanine in common organic solvents and reduce the aggregation. Hydroxy substituted 9,10-anthraquinones act as electron acceptors ('pull') for the study of photoinduced electron transfer processes as well as grafting onto nanocrystalline $TiO_2$. The new unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine was fully characterized by FTIR, UV-vis, $^1H$ NMR, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The new sensitizer was tested in dye-sensitized solar cells, and gave a better performance.

Eighteen lambs were used to determine the effects of zinc (Zn) level and source on Zn status and immune function during both normal conditions and conditions of physiologic stress. Treatments consisted of a basal diet (27.6 mg of Zn/kg), and the basal diet supplemented with 25 mg of Zn/kg, added as either zinc oxide or zinc methionine. The basal diet was a corn-cottonseed hull-isolated soy protein- based diet (14% CP). Lambs were weighed and blood samples taken at 28-d intervals for determination of serum Zn and alkaline phosphatase activity. Weights and serum Zn were similar (p > 0.10) among treatments at all sampling days. To evaluate immune responses and Zn status during conditions of physiologic stress lambs were administered 100 I.U. of adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) on d 112 and feed was withheld for 48 h. Cortisol levels were elevated (p < .01) 5 h post ACTH injection, but had returned to initial levels after 48 h. Lymphocyte blastogenesis ([$^3H$]-thymidine incorporation) on d 112 (prior to ACTH injection) and 114 was unaffected (p > .10) by dietary treatment. However, blastogenesis in response to pokeweed mitogen was greater (p < .0001), whereas the response to phytohemagglutinin was reduced (p < .01) following ACTH administration and fasting. Antibody response to administration of porcine red blood cells was unaffected (p > .05) by dietary treatment. These results indicate that, given the Zn concentration of the basal diet, there was no enhancement of immune function by supplemental Zn, either before or after lambs were subjected to stress.

We have investigated the crystallinity, preferential ordering, and interfacial stability of 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexanitrile (HATCN) thin film interconnected with organic/inorganic multilayer. At the region close to the organic-organic interface, HATCN formed low crystalline order with substantial amorphous phase. As film growth continued, HATCN stacked with high crystalline phase. After a sputtering deposition of the indium zinc oxide (IZO) layer on top of HATCN/organic layer, the volume fraction of preferentially ordered HATCN crystals increased without any structural deterioration. In addition, the HATCN surface was kept quite stable by preserving the sharp interface between HATCN and sputtering deposited IZO layers.

We report the improvement in adhesion of IZO thin films through oxygen ($O_2$) plasma treatment of organic polymer film. In conclusion, the $O_2$ plasma treatment of an organic polymer film was accomplished with improving ca. 1.8 times in adhesion than that of the only general etch treatment on the same organic polymer film.

In order to evaluate effectiveness of zinc source on uptake of zinc by rice plant, a pot experiment carried out using ZnEDTA and $ZnSO_4$ in a glasshouse. The results obtained were summarized as follows: The effectiveness of zinc source on uptake of zinc by rice plants was different with different soil. Namely ZnEDTA was more efficient than $ZnSO_4$ in increasing yield of zinc and concentration of zinc in the plant grown on Jecheon calcareous soil. In case of Keumgok acid soil, however, no superiority of ZnEDTA treatment was found. The plant growing status of ZnEDTA treated calcareous soil was also shown that larger number of tillers per hill, bigger height of the plant and good yield of dry matter production than those of the plant grown on $ZnSO_4$ treatment. Regardless of the zinc source, smaller number of tillers per hill, shorter height of the plant, and the lowest yield of dry matter were shown in the treatment of zinc and straw mixed with both soils. It seemed that more applied zinc was to be fixed by the straw application resulting in poor zinc yield. The extent of the zinc fixation showed markedly in Jecheon calcareous soil.

150 nm thick Ga-doped ZnO thin film, which was deposited by a sputtering process, was wet-chemically etched by using various organic acids such as oxalic, citric and formic acid. Wet etch parameters including etchant concentration and temperature are investigated for each etchant, and their effects on the etch rate and the feature of edge line are compared.

To examine the possibility of biomonitoring of heavy metal removal ability and soil, a study was performed to investigate the heavy metal removal ability and metal-binding protein (MBP) as detoxification process using Oenanthe stolonifera. After O. stolonifera was exposed to individuals (cadmium, zinc) and mixture (cadmium+zinc)for 4 days, removal rate of heavy metal and pH in the treatment medium was measured. MBP was assayed by means of ion exchange column chromatography. The exposure to mixture (Cd:76.8%, Zn:75%) rather than individuals (Cd:82.9%, Zn:90.4%) showed a synergism raising the toxic effect. Initial removal rate was different for each heavy metal : in case of exposure to cadmium it was over 60% on day 1, while for zinc it was 75~90% on day 4. Throughout the experimental period, pH value of treatment medium continuously decreased, since cortex in the roots may secret organic acid to adjust and prevent toxicity of metals. The existence or MBP in the 70~80 fraction and the presence of Zn-enzyme pool was ascertained with the column chromatography. This study demonstrated a possibility that heavy utilized as a biomarker of heavy metal pollution.

Generally, porosity which was formed by pyrolysis of the primer is usually generated in the weld metal in respect of increase of the welding speed. in order to analyze the cause of porosity generation, this study was performed using FCAW(flux cored arc welding) process for three kinds of inorganic.zinc primer. in addition the evaluation by influence of welding method on porosity generation is conducted to compare between FCAW and MAG(metal active gas) welding with the same inorganic zinc primer. As the result of this investigation, not only primer of lower organic binder and zinc but also FCAW process than MAG in fillet welding have been verified the excellent resistance to the porosity generation for horizontal fillet welding.
