The utilization of acetate by Dunaliella tertiolecta was examined, and the detections and assays of the enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the glyoxylate pathway were described. Acetate could not be utilized as a sole carbon source for the growth. The carboxyl carbon of acetate was incorporated more rapidly into CO2 than the methyl carbon. It was identified that malate, succinate, citrate and etc., were accumulated whne [U-14C] acetate was supplied to the cell free homogenate. The following enzyme activities were measured; acetothiokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase and aconitase. Though isocitratase, malate synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase could not be detected, 14C from succinate was easily contributed to CO2 and cell component. The evidence suggested that the glyoxylate pathway was not operative and showed that the TCA cycle was the all important pathway in the oxidation of acetate to CO2 in Dunaliella.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment ($eCO_2$) often increases soil nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Emerging evidence suggests that $eCO_2$ alters plant N preference in favor of ammonium ($NH_4{^+}-N$) over nitrate ($NO_3{^-}-N$). Yet, whether and how this attributes to the enhancement of $N_2O$ emissions has not been investigated. We examined the effects of $eCO_2$ on soil $N_2O$ emissions in the presence of two N forms ($NH_4{^+}-N$ or $NO_3{^-}-N$), using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a model plant. Our results showed that N forms dominated $eCO_2$ effects on plant and microbial N utilization, and thus soil $N_2O$ emissions. Elevated $CO_2$ significantly increased the rate and the sum of $N_2O$ emissions by three to four folds when $NO_3{^-}-N$, but not $NH_4{^+}-N$, was supplied. Enhanced $N_2O$ emission was related to the reduced plant $NO_3{^-}-N$ uptake in wheat. We propose a new conceptual model in which $eCO_2$-inhibition of plant $NO_3{^-}-N$ uptake and/or $CO_2$-enhancement of soil labile C enhances the N and/or C availability for denitrifiers and increases the intensity and/or the duration of $N_2O$ emissions. Together, these findings suggest that to enhance plant N use efficiency and reduce $N_2O$ emission, crop breeding and management need to consider altered plant preference of N sources under future $CO_2$ scenarios.

Objective: The Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is a national drug subsidy program. Given the similarity and comprehensiveness of the Australian PBS and the Korean National Health Insurance (NHI) data, these data are increasingly used for pharmacoepidemiological investigations, as well as international comparative studies. This study aims to introduce the various sources of publicly available PBS data and provide a practical guide to researchers conducting drug utilization studies. Methods: We searched literature and websites to detail and compare the collection, structure, components, and characteristics of each PBS data format. We identified different characteristics of the PBS data from the Korean NHI claims data which are mainly owing to their unique co-payment policies and data collection processes. In addition, the utilization and expenditure of atorvastatin, a widely used treatment for hyperlipidemia, were analyzed using two different sources of PBS data and the different results were interpreted. Results: There exist differences in when data were collected or non-subsidized uses of medicine were included among sources of PBS data. Additionally, two countries have different cost sharing methods inmedicine subsidy scheme; co-payment in Australia and co-insurance in Korea. Therefore, it should be noted that prescriptions under co-payment are not included in some data sources in Australia. Conclusion: Despite several analytical challenges, open access and easy data management are the strengths of the PBS data sources. A detailed knowledge of the PBS data can ensure robust methodology and interpretation of pharmacoepidemiological investigations or international comparative studies.

Continuous global warming is causing ecosystem destruction and direct damage to human life. The main cause of global warming is greenhouse gases, which account for more than 90 % of carbon dioxide. The leaders of each country signed the Paris Agreement at the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the total amount of CO₂ emitted from South Korea is 664.7 million tons as of 2018, ranking eighth in the world. 37 % of South Korea's total CO₂ emissions come from the construction & building field, especially the cement production, which is a construction material. Carbon reduction technologies can be largely divided into four types: carbon reduction (CC), carbon reduction and storage technology (CCS), carbon reduction and utilization technology (CCU), and carbon reduction, storage and utilization technology (CCUS). Overseas, CCUS technology is mainly applied to reduce and store CO₂ emitted from construction and construction field. A technology for permanently storing CO₂ through mineralization by capturing CO₂ and utilizing CO₂ into a cement production process was developed, and this technology is applied to the entire cement industry. However, the development of CCUS technology applicable to the cement industry is still insignificant in South Korea. In this study, carbon dioxide reduction technology and methods for reducing carbon dioxide emitted during the cement manufacturing process, which is the main component of concrete mainly used in civil engineering construction, were investigated. Overseas, it has reached the commercialization stage beyond the demonstration stage as a way to reduce carbon dioxide by vomiting carbonation reactions. Accordingly, if carbon dioxide reduction plan technology generated during cement manufacturing is developed based on domestic technology differentiated from foreign technology, it is expected to contribute one more step to the carbon neutrality policy.

According to the 5th Climate Change Report, global average temperature in 2081~2100 will increase 1.8℃ based on RCP 4.5 and 3.7℃ based on RCP 8.5 from the current climate value (IPCC Working Group I AR5). As temperature is expected to increase due to global warming and the intensity and frequency of rainfall are expected to increase, damage to crops is expected, and countermeasures must be taken. This study intends to evaluate rice growth in terms of nitrogen utilization efficiency according to future climate change conditions. In this experiment, Oryza sativa cv. Shindongjin were planted at the SPAR facility of the NICS in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do on June 10, and were planted and grown according to the standard cultivation method. Cultivation conditions are high temperature, high CO₂ (current temperature+4.7℃·CO₂ 800ppm), high temperature (current temperature+4.7℃·CO₂ 400ppm), current climate (current tempreture·CO₂ 400 ppm). Nitrogen was varied as 0, 9, 18 kg/10a. The N content and C/N ratio of all rice leaves, stems, and seeds increased at high temperature, and the N content and C/N ratio decreased under high temperature and high CO₂ conditions com pared to high temperature. Compared to the current climate, NUE increases by about 8% under high temperature and high CO₂ conditions and by about 2% under high temperature conditions. This seems to be because the increase in temperature and CO₂ induced the increase in biomass. ANUE related to yield decreased by about 70% compared to the current climate under high temperature conditions, and decreased by about 45% at high temperature and high CO₂, showing a tendency to decrease compared to high temperature. This appears to be due to reduced fertility and poor ripening due to high temperature stress. However, as the nitrogen increased, the number of ears and the number of grains increased, slightly offsetting the production reduction factor.

지구 온난화 현상의 주된 원인인 CO2 가스의 분해를 위해, 스트론튬 페라이트를 이용한 CO2 가스 분해 반응에 대해 연구하였다. CO2 가스 분해를 위한 반응 매체로 스피넬형 조성과 마그네토프롬바이트형 조성의 스트론튬 페라이트 미세분말을 공침법으로 제조한 후, H2 가스로 환원시켜 산소부족형 스트론튬 페라이트 분말을 제조하였다. 이 산소부족형 스트론튬 페라이트 분말은 CO2 가스를 환원, 분해시키면서 산화된다. 이러한 원리를 이용한 CO2 분해 반응에서 스피넬형 조성 스트론튬 페라이트 분말이 마그네토프롬바이트형 조성 분말 보다 빠르게 많은 양의 CO2 가스를 분해 시켰다. 페라이트 중의 스트론튬이 산화·환원 반응을 촉진시키는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.
