Phosphorus (P) removal by aluminum sulfate solution was investigated with varying pH and initial P concentrations. P removal was the highest at around pH 6. The pH range where P removal occurred was slightly wider at higher initial P concentrations. Compared to theoretical calculations, it was confirmed that $AlPO_4$ precipitation was the main reason for P removal at low pH. At high pH, where there should be no $AlPO_4$ precipitates, the P removal by adsorption of amorphous $Al(OH)_3$ precipitates was experimentally observed. The P removal by adding amorphous $Al(OH)_3$ precipitates prepared before the adsorption experiments, however, was lower than that by injecting aluminum sulfate solution because the prepared precipitates became larger, leading to less specific surface area available for adsorption. Ions other than sulfate had little influence on P removal.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine whether the expression of baseline phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) levels were prognostic in terms of stage and overall survival (OS) in newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Materials and Methods: Retrospectively, 130 patients were selected at the time of diagnosis oflung cancer (100 with NSCLC and 30 with SCLC), before the initialization of any chemo-radiotherapy. The median age was 67 (range 29-92). IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB and IV stages were present in 3, 4, 19, 6, 25, 8, and 65 patients, respectively. After centrifugation, the levels of serum P and Mg were measured using the nephelometric method/ photometry and evaluated before any type of treatment. Results: Higher than normal levels of P were found in 127/130 patients, while only four patients had elevated Mg serum values. In terms of Spearman test, higher P serum values correlated with either stage (rho=- 0.334, p<0.001) or OS (rho=-0.212, p=0.016). Additionally, a significant negative correlation of Mg serum levels was found with stage of disease (rho=-0.135, P=0.042). On multivariate cox-regression survival analysis, only stage (p<0.01), performance status (p<0.01) and P serum (p=0.045) showed a significant prognostic value. Conclusions: Our study indicated that pre-treatment P serum levels in lung cancer patients are higher than the normal range. Moreover, P and Mg serum levels are predictive of stage of disease. Along with stage and performance status, the P serum levels had also a significant impact on survival. This information may be important for stratifying patients to specific treatment protocols or intensifying their therapies. However, larger series are now needed to confirm our results.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of floor type of finishing building and increasing market weight of finishing Pigs on Performance, carcass traits and pork quality. Four hundred and forty-four finishing pigs were confined and administered with different floor type(concrete slat and bedded with sawdust) and increasing market weight(110kg to 130kg) of finishing building. The result obtained from this study were summarized as follows; 1. There was no significant difference between the floor type of finishing building in the body weight gain, feed intake and gain per feed. And also increasing market weight of finishing pigs was not affected the performance of finishing pigs. 2. Increasing market weight of finishing pigs affect the carcass yield. The market weight at 130kg showed more amount of each cut of carcass, especially the belly portion was higher, but backfat thickness was not different. 3. Carcass traits did not show any significant difference due to the difference of market weight of finishing pig and floor type of finishing building. 4. There was no significant difference in the chemical compositions and meat color of pork loin between the floor type of finishing building and increasing market weight of finishing pigs.

This study was performed to develop a more simple and convenient heat treatment process for increasing heating temperature than the traditional 9-times steaming process for Rehmanniae radix Preparata (R. radix P.). The R. radix was heated to various temperatures (110, 120, 130, 140 and $150^{\circ}C$) for different lengths of time (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hr). Chromaticity, free sugar, amino acid, catalpol and 5-HMF (5-hydroxy-methyl-2-furaldehyde) content of water extracts of R. radix P. were analysed. With increasing heating temperature and time, the L, a and b-value of samples gradually decreased. Fructose and glucose contents were increased to $120^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr (5.21 and 6.67%, respectively) with no changes afterward. Sucrose content was not detected after $130^{\circ}C$. Total amino acid was increased to $140^{\circ}C$ and decreased afterward. The maximum total amino acid content was 4,172 mg/100 g at $140^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr (R. radix L.: 3,029 mg/100 g). The catalpol was decreased to $130^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr and not detected afterward. The 5-HMF content increased with increasing heating temperature and time. The maximum content of 5.HMF was 2.5% in $150^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr. Hence, it can be suggested that the heat treatment at $130^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr or more is the most optimum processing conditions, instead of the traditional 9.times steaming process.

Objectives : When sweating factor is excluded, to know the influence of acupuncture stimulation on electrical resistance. Methods : Regional anaesthesia(Lidocane 2%, 1ml, Subcutaneous injection) is applied to measured regions, 4cm round area including left Neiguan P6. So we can make adiaphoresis. Before and after acupucnture stimulation to Laogong P8, we measured the electrical resistance of anesthetized left Neiguan P6, anesthetized non-acupoint, normal left Ximen P4, and normal right Neiguan P6. For measurment, we use the 1.2V, DC system that has 100$k{\Omega}$ internal resistance Results : Under the adiaphoresis, Acupuncture stimulation makes the significant decrease of electrical resistance. In normal regions, so does it. Conclusions : When the acupuncture stimulation is applied to human boby, the decrease of electrical resistance is due not only to sweat secretion but also to other internal resistance.

This Paper deals with the headlamp lens surface temperature distribution of p/c headlamp using the three categories of H4 halogen bulbs. Glass is gradually replaced by P/C for the lens material off vehicle headlamp due to the weight reduction and stream lined body of a vehicle. With this trend, the newly established standards for a headlamp with a P/C lens in Europe requires that the heat generated by a bulb should not distort the lens surface. Also the requirements fur the bulb of a headlamp are being enforced in U.S.A & Europe. However, such requirements are not established yet in Korea. By using three kinds (60/55w, 100/90w, 130/90w) of H4 halogen bulbs in this experiment, the surface temperature distribution and Max. temperature on the lens were measured. The results of this study implies the necessity of requirement fur the bulb off headlamp.

Nicotine (100 .mu. M) was incubated with microsomes (1 mg/ml) prepared from New Zealand White rabbits. On the basis of microsomal weight, the rate of nicotine oxidation were calculated on the basis of cytochrome P-450 concentration, the specific activity of the metabolic oxidation catalyzed by lung was approximately 4 times greater than liver (6.4 vs 1, 65 nmoles nicotine oxidized. nmole cytochrome $P-450^{-1}\;min{-1})$. These studies employed several methods of altering activities of specific isozymes present in pulmonary microsomes, including the use of the isozyme2 and 6 specific inhibitor $\alpha$-methylbenzyl ABT, metabolite inhibitors, norbenzphetamine and N-hydroxyamphetamine. TCDD induction and Arochlor 1260 pretreatment. These results support the conclusion that nicotine metabolism by rabbit lung microsomes is mediated primarily by cytochrome P-450 isozyme 2.

Poly(3-hexyl thiophene)(P3HT) and poly(3-dodecyl thiophene)(P3DT) were polymerized by oxidative coupling with ferric chloride. The P3HT light-emitting device emitted red light and it could be observable in the ordinary indoor light. The device had the turn-on electric field of about 3$\times$$10^7$ V/m. The maximum electroluminescene (EL) intensity was obtained when the thickness of polymer layer was about 130 nm in IT0/P3HT/Al device. The maximum external quantum yield was 0.002%. The maximum luminance was 21 cd/$m^2$. The EL intensity decreases with increasing the crystallinity of the polymer layer. By using the oriented poly(3-alkyl thiophene)(PAT) layer as an electroluminescent layer in the ITO/polymer/Al light-emitting devices, the polarized EL light emission was observed. The EL intensity ratio of parallel to perpendicular direction to the stretch direction for P3HT was about 1.40.
