This study was conducted to obtain granular crystalline gypsum that can be used as raw material for Plaster boards or cements from waste Plaster board. Gypsum could be Preferentially disintegrated to gypsum needle in $10\mu\textrm{m}$ or less size by hydration after the dehydration of crushed waste Plaster board. The finer the gypsum needle, it is easier to remove coarse impurities and to recover the gypsum needle. The optimum conditions for obtain the finer gypsum size were dehydration rate of 75~85%, solid concentration at hydration of 10~15%, agitation speed of 250~400 rpm, crushing size before dehydration of 2 cm or less. Gypsum of 98.21% grade was recovered with 99.0% yield as the undersize of 325 mesh wet screening followed by the dehydration-hydration process performed at the conditions of dehydration rate of 80%, solid concentration at hydration of 15%, agitation speed of 300 rpm, crushing size before dehydration of 2 cm or less. After the recrystallization of recovered gypsum, Plate-like gypsum of $151\mu\textrm{m}$ size with 99.49% grade was obtained as the oversize of 270 mesh in a wet screening.

The increase of using low grade ace, the unsorted mixed grade, as fibrous raw materials for the packaging paper results in the increment of fine screen reject owing to the strong tendency to reduce the slot width. Since the most of screen reject consists of undispersed fiber flake, the suitable treatment of the flake could increase the yield of ace recycling and decrease the amount of solid waste. In this work, the novel method combined the mild mechanical treatment by using Tumbling pulper with the biological treatment was developed and applied to the wet strength flake and the fine screen tail line reject originated from a packaging paper mill. The results showed the new method could provide much better efficiency for the disintegration of undispersed flake and for the recovery of fiber from the rejects. The application of the laboratory scaled-Pack pulper showed the possible separation technique for mill application by fractioning effectively the fiber from the treated solid waste.

An experimental study of energy absorption and x-ray emission from ultrashort laser pulse irradiation of in-situ produced solid clusters has been performed. Silver clusters produced by a 30 mJ, 300 ps laser pulse were irradiated up to an intensity of $3{\times}10^{17}\;W/cm^2$ by a 70 mJ, 45 fs compressed laser pulse from the same Ti:sapphire laser. Absorption of the laser light exceeding 70% was observed, resulting in an x-ray yield (>1 keV) of ${\sim}60{\mu}J$ pulse. This may constitute a much simpler means of intense x-ray generation using ultrashort laser pulses as compared to the irradiation of structured / pre-deposited cluster targets, and it offers higher x-ray conversion efficiency than that from gas clusters and planar solid targets.

Microwave assisted extraction(MAE) is known as a more environmental friendly process with economic advantages in terms of less time, less solvent, less energy and less wastes than the current time consuming reflux method. It was applied to develop a rapid extraction method for soluble ginseng components that are major materials used for the processing of ginseng products. In a comparative study between pre established MAE(ethanol 60%, power 80 W, process time 4 min$\times$5) and current extraction method(ethanol 80%, temp. 85oC, time 8 hr$\times$5), MAE was more efficient than the current method to obtain an extract yield(soluble solid), but it was insufficient to extract individual ginsenosides, total phenols, reducing components and acidic polysaccharides. MAE with 80% ethanol by 5 times showed, however, that its extraction efficiency on soluble solid, crude saponin, major ginsenosides, and the other components was equal or superior to that of the current method, indicating that ethanol concentration is one of the critical parameters influencing the MAE process. The quality of ginseng extracts from MAE was assured by evaluating the corresponding standards and by comparing TLC and HPLC patterns with the control.

Terfenadine, antihistaminic drug, is poorly soluble in water. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of using $terfenadine-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ inclusion compound, instead of terfenadine, as the active substance of solid dosage form by improving the solubility, dissolution and anti-histaminic activity of terfenadine. The solubility and binding characteristics of $terfenadine-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ complex in pH $1.2{\sim}6.8$ were investigated. Furthermore, the preparing method of $terfenadine-{\beta}-\;cyclodextrin$ inclusion compound was setting up and its physico-chemical characteristics such as DSC curve, solubility, dissolution and anti-histaminic activity were investigated. In conclusion, the solubility of terfenadine was increasing ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ and with the decreasing pH. $Terfenadine-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ inclusion compound, whose yield is almost 100%, was prepared by neutralization method. This inclusion compound was 200-times as soluble as terfenadine in pH 1.2-6.8. In addition, it had the faster dissolution and anti-histaminic activity than terfenadine. Therefore, it is used to the active substance of solid dosage form such as tablet and capsule in stead of terfenadine.

The fungal isolate Isaria javanica pf185 has potential as a mycopesticide because it demonstrates insecticidal activity against the green peach aphid and antifungal activity against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. For commercialization of this isolate, determination of the optimal and least expensive culture conditions is required; however, these data are not currently available. This study describes the conditions for optimal development of conidia and production of metabolites for the biocontrol of the fungal pathogen. The optimal culture conditions were examined using cultures on solid agar and liquid media. High growth temperature enhanced spore formation but reduced antifungal activity in both solid and liquid media. The highest spore yield was obtained in a medium containing glucose as a carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source. Soybean powder and wheat bran were effective nitrogen sources that promoted spore production and antifungal activity of the isolate. These results revealed the basic, cost-effective growth media for commercial production of a biopesticide with insecticidal and antifungal properties for use in integrated pest management.

Hairy root culture of ginseng is industrially prospected because the cultivation period of ginseng is relatively long. In this study, the effect of medium concentration and sucrose concentration on hairy root culture of ginseng was evaluated. The optimization of ginseng hairy roots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogene were performed liquid medium. The MS(Murashinge & Skoog basal medium) concentration was selected with 1/2 strength MS and the optimal sucrose concentration was determined at 2-3%(w/v). At the optimum culture condition, The yield (the ratio of weight of grown hairy root cultures to weight of fresh ginseng hairy roots) and production rate of ginseng root were 19.42 times and 5.73 g/l-day. The major ginsenosides were Rb group, Re and Rg1. The produced total ginsenoside content in the solid medium was 9.87 (mg/g) and increased 1.34 times in the liquid medium (13.23 mg/g). In solid culture, the contents of ginsenosides Rb, Re and Rg1 were 2.14, 3.65 and 1.87 mg/g, respectively. In liquid culture, the contents of ginsenosides Rb, Re and Rg1 were 3.54, 4.12 and 2.63 mg/g, respectively.

We describe a simple, solid-phase chemiluminescence immunoassay for the meausrement of serum T4. An immunoglobulin G fraction of antibody to thyroxine was passively absorbed onto the walls of polystyrene tubes. The labeled antigen was thyroxine-aminobutylethylisoluminol. After the bindings reaction (37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour), the solution is removed by aspiration and the antibody-bound fraction was washed once with buffer. Sodium hydroxide (5mol/1,200${mu}ell$) was added and the mixture incubated for 30 minutes at 6$0^{\circ}C$. Luminescence was initiated by oxidation of the label with micropeeroxidase-hydrogen peroxide and the signal of light emission was intergrated for 10 sec. The light yield was inversely proportional to the concentration of T4 in the standard or sample. An evaluation of the method gave the following values sensitivity of calibration curve 7.5$\pm$2.8 nmol/l (mean$\pm$SD). The intra-assay precision (CV%) was 8.9, 7.3 and 5.4. The inter-assay precision (CV%) was 10.2, 8.1 and 7.1. When seum samples were assayed for T4, the results obtained by solid-phase CIA and the conventional RIA agreed well(n=3.5, r=0.954).

Single-crystalline InSb nanowire was synthesized on $SiO_2$ wafer via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism using chemical vapor deposition method. According to the source container system (open or close) which contain InSb powder and $SiO_2$ wafer, the single-crystalline InSb nanowires have different growth mechanisms. Structural characterization of the InSb nanowires was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Composition of the nanowires was investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This study demonstrates that length and diameter of the InSb nanowires are long and thick using open-boat system by VLS and additional vapor-solid (VS) mechanisms, because open-boat system can carry a large amount of vapor-phase InSb precursor than close-boat system.
