  • The action mechanism of hemolysin rendering virulency of Vibrio anguilarum has not clarified as yet, even though there were several possible factors explained. We have studied hemolytic kinetics performed by hemolysin from V. anguillarum strain V7 as well as binding of hemolysin to RBC membrane. Maximal rate of hemolysis and duration of lag phase were directly and inversly correlated to the concentration of hemolysin used. Hemolysin molecules are known to bind consumptively with proper diameter, while other protectants with smaller diameter could not. In conclusion, hemolysin should bind irreversibly to RBC membrane exert hemolysis distorting osmotic pressure. The binding could be hindered by spatial structure of the RBC surfacem which might be caused by sialic acid.

  • A computer code for solving the 3-D time-dependent multigroup neutron diffusion equation by a coupled reactor kinetics method recently developed has been developed and for evaluating its applicability in CANDU transient analysis applied to a 3-D kinetics benchmark problem which reveals non-uniform loss of coolant accident followed by an asymmetric insertion of shutdown devices. The performance of the method and code has been compared with the CANDU design code, CERBERUS, employing a finite difference improved quasistatic method.

  • Wastewater containing phenol was treated using Pseudomonas sp. B3 in continuous reactor, reaction characteristics and kinetics according to variation of volumetric loading rate in continuous reactor were studied. The removal efficiencies of phenol were more than 99% at the whole range of experiment, and those of COD were 97% at the volumetric loading rate, $0.96kg/m^3{\cdot}d$ and 88% at $3.0kg/m^3{\cdot}d$, respectively. Kinetics constants of $q_m$, $K_s$, Y and $K_d$ were obtained 0.901 l/d, 0.620mg/l, 0.659 and 0.219 l/d, respectively. As compared with to constants of standard activated sludge process, these constants were remarkably different because of toxicity and inhibition of phenol to microbes. And also, kinetics constants of oxygen utilization, a, and b, were shown 0.384 kg $O_2/kg$ phenol and 0.029 l/d.

  • Beauveria bassiana, one of the most common entomopathogenic fungi, has been isolated, pre defined and characterized in-house from soil of tea cultivation area. Experiments have been performed to verify the presence of chitinase as intracellular metabolite and its release as extracellular product rendering the spores with biopesticide activity. Although there are many responsible enzymes for the pest killer action of B. bassiana, binding property of chitinase depending on presence as well as absence of serine supplemented in the media has been studied with respect to the production and kinetics. A programmed investigation conclusively indicates that the isolated spore (hyphae) of B. bassiana has been metabolically enriched with the enzyme chitinase in presence of an externally added amino acid serine with its inhibitory kinetics.

  • The kinetics and stoichiometry of the reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(Ⅵ)) with ferrous iron (Fe(II)) were examined in systems with and without aquifer solids. Cr(Ⅵ) reduction was rapid in the absence of solids, but demonstrated slower and more complex kinetics in the presence of aquifer solids. The aquifer solids removed Fe(II) from solution and a portion of the reducing capacity of Fe(II) was transferred to the aquifer solids. The solid phases were then able to continue to remove Cr(Ⅵ). This suggests in-situ treatment of Cr(Ⅵ) by Fe(II) injection would be feasible in the aquifer environment. In general, re-oxidation of reduced chromium by molecular oxygen was not observed in our systems over time periods of nearly one year.

  • In contrast to conventional liquid phase epitaxy of GaAs, surface kinetics limited growth is predominant in selective liquid phase epitaxy. For the stripe openings in the high-index crystal-lographic directions, the well-known facet formations and the decompositions into the low index planes or smooth circular surfaces are observed depending on the growth kinetics. For the low index direction stripe, surface kinetics limited growth is evident. By a numerical calcualtion we show that these phenomena are due to the enhanced masstransport by two dimensional diffusion and growth rate anisotropy which is found to be very stdrong with cusped minima for some singular planes in the solution growth as well as in vapor phase epitaxy. Morphological stability is briefly treated in terms of diffusion and its implications on device application are stated. Tese phenomena may be common to III-V compound semiconductors as well as GaAs.
