A centrifugally atomized 2024A1/SiC/sub p/ composites were extruded to study effect of clusters on mechanical properties, and a model was proposed that the strength of MMCs would be estimated from the load transfer model approach that taken into consideration of the clusters. This model has been successfully utilized to predict the strength and fracture toughness of MMCs. The experimental and calculated results show coincidence and that the fracture toughness decreases with increasing the volume fraction of particles. On the basis of experimental observations, we suggest that the strength and fracture toughness of particle reinforced MMCs may be calculated from; σ/sub y/=σ/sub m/V/sub m/+σ/sub r/(V/sub r/-V/sub c)-σ/sub r/V/sub c/, K/sub IQ/=σ/sub Y/((3πt)((r/sub r//V/sub r/)(r/sub c//V/sub c/))/sup 1/2/)/sup 1/2/, respectively.

V. parahaemolyticus possessed an extracellular alkaline protease activity during the stationary growth phase. Various factors such as initial pH of medium, incubation temperature and shaking rate were investigated for optimizing the production of allcaline protease from V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802. Maximal activity of the protease was obtained when the bacteria were grown in 2% skim milk medium in 0.1 M tris/HCl buffer (pH 7.6). Maximal activity of the protease was obtained when the bacteria were grown at initial pH of 7.6, incubation temperature of 37℃ and shaking rate of 250 rpm.

Agarooligosaccharides were produced by β-agarase from Bacillus cereus ASK 202. LD_(50) of Agarooligosaccharides was determined to be 1359 mg/kg which corresponded to GRAS material. Agarooligosaccharides at 5% level exhibited 88.3% inhibition on TA98 and 54% on TA100, indicating agarooligosaccharides to be potent antimutagenic substance. Immunologic activity of agarooligosaccharides was also confirmed by mouse spleen cell culture. Agarooligosaccharides addition of 200 ㎕/ml stabilized spleen cells (2.5 × 10^6 cells/ml) as compared to control (6.4 × 10⁴ cells/ml).

Agar, one of the most abundant marine products has not been utilized extensively because of low level of processing technology in Korea. This research was carried out to improve the utilization of agar and consequent increase in profit. Antibacterial activity of agarooligosaccharides were evaluated against bacteria causing putrefaction and food poisoning. Addition of 0.4% agarooligosaccharides showed antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7; furthermore, autoclave treatment of agarooligosaccharides solution enhanced the antibacterial activity. Agarooligosaccharides showed high stability against the pH change. Addition of amino acid(alanine, lysine, glycine, phenylalanine) in agarooligosaccharides solution enhanced antibacterial activity in E. coli O157:H7, Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus.

Al2O3SiC particle was prepared was prepared by the self-propagting high temperature sYthesis(SHS) process from a mixture of SiO2, Al and C powders, The fabricated Al2O3SiC particle was applied to 2024Al/(Al2O3SiC)pcomposite as a reinforcement. Aluminum matix composites were fabricares by the powder extrusion method using the synthesized Al2O3SiC particle and commercial 2024Al powder. Theoptimum preparation conditions for Al2O3SiC partticle by SHS process were described. The influence of the Al2O3SiC voiume fraction on the mechanical was composite was also discussed. Despite adiabatic temperature was about 2367K, SHs reaction was completed not by itself, but by using pre-heating. Mean particle size of final particle synthesized was 0.73 m and most of the particle was smaller than 2m. Elastic modulus and tensile strength of the composite increased with increase the volume fraction of reinforcement but, tensile strength depreciated at 30 vol% of reinforcement.

We have studied the IR properties of molecular clouds in the region of the supershell GS234-02 using IRAS and COBE data. The mean values of dust color temperature and optical depth at 240μm are derived to be 15.4±1.5 K and 9.0±5.7×10-4, respectively, which agree well with those determined by Sodroski et al.(1994) for the outer Galaxy. Mean IRAS colors, R12/100= 0.074, R25/100= 0.052, R60/100= 0.219, indicate that the abundance of PAHs is enhanced but other particles are nearly the same as those of the solar neighborhood. We found the anticorrelation between R100/140 and R140/240. It cannot be explained by the thermal emission of traditional big grains. The anticorrelation implies that, at high ISRF, T100/140 underestimates the equilibrium temperature, while T140/240 overestimates it and, at low ISRF, vice versa. Therefore we propose to use the intensity ratio, R100/240 as a dust thermometer.

The role of cytochrome P-450 2E1 (P450 2E1) in the early phase of alcoholic fatty liver was examined. Female rats were pretreated with either allyl sulfide (200 mg/kg, po), disulfiram (500 mg/kg, po), YH 439 (250 mg/kg, po) or pyrazine (200 mg/kg/day × 2 days, ip). Marked changes in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity and carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) elevation due to dichloromethane administration were observed in rats treated with one of the P450 2E1 modulators. A single dose of ethanol (6 g/kg, po) increased the hepatic triglyceride contents approximately 2 fold, which was inhibited completely by YH 439 pretreatment. However, the other P450 2E1 modulators failed to alter the ethanol-induced hepatic triglyceride accumulation. In vitro hepatic microsomal enzyme activity was determined in 4 week old premature and 12 week old adult rats. Aminopyrine-N demethylation was not different, but p-nitrophenol hydroxylation and p-nitroanisole O-demethylation were significantly higher in premature rats compared to adult indicating that the P450 2E 1 activity decreases with the maturity of rats. However, no difference in the triglyceride accumulation induced by an intraperitoneal dose of ethanol (3 g/kg) was noted between premature and adult rats. The results suggest that the P450 2E1 activity dose not play an important role in the induction of acute alcoholic fatty liver.
