A hydroxyapatite air filter was made with hydroxyapatite powder, water and chitosan solution. The structures of the sintered HAp samples were determined by MP-XRD. Hydroxyapatite has antibacteria properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. The bacteria removal rate was 99.9%. In the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Colon bacterium and Listeria monocytogenes, the hydroxyapatite air filters had a clear zone which confirmed antibacteria properties. Using the microscopy, we observed that the HAp powder absorbed E. coli bacteria.

Bottom ash(BA) from coal-fired power plants is burnt and remaining ash at high temperature. Since the BA is baked at high temperature, it is considered to be the same function as the elvan. Nowadays, the demand for mortar with far infrared rays, antibacteria, antifungus, deodorization, aridity and humidity function is increasing as the materials such as Hwangtoh(yellow soil) and elvan rather than general mortar. As a result of comparing the functionality of eco-friendly bio BA mortar with that of general mortar, the far infrared ray emissivity is about $0.02{\times}10^2W/m^2$ more and the deodorization function is about 26% or more. Even in the case of humidity control, BA motors showed about 1.8 times higher than general mortar, and more than 10% higher than the "good" standards of moisture absorption and damp proofing construction materials established by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.

The effect of ceramics in the nutrient solution on the growth of Chinese flat cabbage(Brassica campestris L. var. Tacai) was studied at the favourable root temperature of 3$0^{\circ}C$ and at the greenhouse air temperature of fixed $25^{\circ}C$. Ceramic No. 2 was produced the greatest dry weight, while ceramic No. 3 was lower productive than those of untreatment in each root temperature. Shoot/root dry weight ratio was reduced at treatments with ceramics, which may be explained by rich root growth, and it increased as raising the temperature from 25 to 3$0^{\circ}C$ or 35$^{\circ}C$. The treatments of ceramics made lower water content/dry weight($m\ell$/g) ratio of Tacai than untreatment. The electrical conductivity and inorganic matters of ceramics were low level(EC 0.001 -0.03mS/cm). Also, the blue ceramic No. 3 of them had strong antibacteria in LB medium and ceramic treatments was inhibited the rot of solution.

A cytotoxic compound, 8461 was isolated from the culture of Streptomyces sp. strain MCY846 by its cytotoxicity against gastric cancer cell line SNU-l. The IR, UV and NMR spectra of 8461 were identical to those of elaiophylin. This compound showed moderate cytotoxicity against several cell lines and exerted strong inhibitory effect on the synthesis of nitric oxide in the lipopolysaccharide stimulated-Raw 264.7 cells.

This study was to examine the anti-bacteria effect of chrome-tanned garment leathers by various processes to article from hide. Anti-bacterial test by halo test and shake flask method, and pH value measurment are carried out in this study. The results can be obtained as follows: 1. In the soaking process of chrome-tanned garment leathers, it needs more effective anti-bacterial treatment. 2. pH value of samples by various processes has affected to anti-bacteria effect. 3. Chrome used by the tanning and the neutralization process have been found to be the anti-bacteria activity. 4. The dyeing, the fatliquoring and the finishing process has required anti bacteria treatment.

In this study, Zea mays L., which were discarded after harvesting in Korea, were collected and used for experiment. The Zea mays L. were dried in the shade and ground before being extracted using two solvents. Subsequently, DPPH, ABTS, the total flavonoid content and the total polyphenol content were measured to analyze antioxidant activity. The diameter of clear zone was measured by using the paper disc diffusion method. The results showed that the ethanol extract had a slightly higher antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The total polyphenol content was measured using gallic acid as standard, and CE(ethanol extract) was found to contain $31.2{\pm}5.2mg\;GAE/g$ of polyphenols, indicating a considerably high activity. When DPPH radical scavenging ability was measured, CE was found to have $4.6{\pm}0.9%$, $6.4{\pm}0.5%$, $22.9{\pm}0.6%$ and $83.2{\pm}0.2%$ at different concentrations of $1{\mu}g/mL$, $10{\mu}g/mL$, $100{\mu}g/mL$, and $1,000{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, with a dependent tendency at the concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ and a considerably high activity at the concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. This study is expected to be used as preliminary data to develop new natural antioxidant, antibacteria raw materials, as only little research has been undertaken on Zea mays L., which are mostly discarded after harvesting, while many studies have been so far conducted on corn and corn silks.

This study was to examine the anti-bacteria effect and the changes of chemical properties of chrome-tanned garment leathers on the preservative treatment. Various test methods, such as investigation of preservative treatment process, resistance test and chemical analysis by cleaning, antbbacterial test by shake flask method are carried out in this study. The results can be obtained as follows: 1. Bacterial reduction percentage of chrome-tanned garment leathers on the preservative treatment was 28.6%. 2. In the antbbacterial effect by dry cleaning, preservative treated leathers has no resistance. 3. Fats content has been removed by dry cleaning using perchloroethylene, so garment leathers properties were altered. 4. PH value was changed by dry cleaning. But once after fats removing, it was changed the little by dry cleaning numbers.

Essential oil components were analysed in forty seven individual plants of Elsholtzia splendens collected from eight different regions in Korea to identify their chemotypes. Major oil components of chemotype 1 was dihydrotagentone (75%) and naginataketone and elsholtziaketone were not detected at all. Chemotype 2 was naginataketone (NK) type which content was more than 60%. Chemotype 3 had more than 60% of elsholtziaketone (EK) as major volatile oil. EK type and NK type plants selected were maintained stably in their progenies after seed generation. Naginatketone and elsholtziaketone had functional properties such as antioxidation and antibacteria.

The strength (MPa), hardness (Hv), shrinkage (%) and biological properties of the HAp were measured by using an organic plasticizer which facilitates the molding and heat treatment. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, bending strength and hardness were increased with increasing amount of plasticizer, but mechanical properties were decreased when plasticizer was added more than 7 %. This is because addition of the plasticizer above the allowable value causes cracking during molding, and such cracks promote the generation of microcracks and pores at the time of sintering, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties. As a result of the antimicrobial activity test, no bacteria were detected regardless of the addition amount of plasticizer.
