한국 땃쥐속 우수리땃쥐 Crocidura lasiura와 작은땃쥐 C. suaveolens, 뒤쥐속 뒤쥐 Sorex caecutiens의 치아형태와 법랑질 표면의 함유물을 EDX를 이용하여 정성 분석하였다. 우수리땃쥐와 작은땃쥐의 경우, 치식은 I3/1 C1/1 P1/1 M3/3=28이었고, 상악 제1대구치와 제2대구치는 5개의 교두들로 만들어진 균형이 맞지 않는 W형을 가지고 있었고, 상악 제3 대구치는 상악 제1대구치와 제2대구치의 3/1크기였으며, 상악 제1절치는 2개의 다른 크기의 갈고리 모양이었으며, 하악 제1 절치는 매끈하였다. 뒤쥐의 경우, 치식은 I3/1 C1/1 P3/1 M3/3=32이었고, 상악 제1대구치와 제2대 구치는 균형이 맞는 W형을 가졌고 상악 제3대구치는 다른 대구치의 약 절반 크기였으며, 상악 제1절치는 2개의 비슷한 크기의 갈고리 모양이었으며 하악 제1절치는 매끈하지않은 톱니모양이었다. 치아와 두개골 측정치 비교에서 우수리땃쥐가 3종 중 가장 컸으나(p<0.001), 작은땃쥐와 뒤쥐는 크기에서 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). EDX를 이용한 하악 제1절치와 하악 제1대구치의 법랑질 표본의 정성적 분석으로부터, C, O, P, Ca, Cu가 모든 표본에서 검출되었고 Pb는 몇몇 표본에서만 검출되었다. 3종들에서 이들의 함유량은 통계적 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). Fe는 붉게 착색된 치아를 가지는 뒤쥐의 법랑질 표면에서만 검출되었다. 따라 서 Fe가 치아의 붉은 착색의 원인이다. 이상의 결과들은 치아 끝의 색을 포함한 치아 형태학적 특징들이 땃쥐속과 뒤쥐속의 분류키가 될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

In order to evaluate the characteristics of sediments and pollution by organic matter and metallic elements in intertidal sediments along the southwestern coast of Korea, we measured various geochemical parameters, including the mean grain size (Mz), water content (WC), ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and metallic elements (Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, As), in intertidal surface sediments. The Mz of the surface sediments ranged from 2.1 to 8.3$\phi$, indicating that the surface sediments consist of various sedimentary facies, such as sand, slightly gravelly mud, sandy mud, and silt. The IL and COD in surface sediment ranged from 0.8 to 5.5% (mean $2.9\pm1.2%$) and from 3.9 to $13.8\;mgO_2/g{\cdot}dry$ (mean $8.5\pm2.6\;mgO_2/g{\cdot}dry$), respectively, which were lower than the values for surface sediment in areas near fish and shellfish farms or industrial complexes. No AVS was detected at any sampling station, despite various sedimentary facies. Most of metallic elements in surface sediments showed relatively good positive correlations with Mz and IL, which imply that the concentrations of metallic elements are mainly controlled by grain size and the organic matter content. The concentrations of metallic elements, except As, at some stations were considerably lower than those in the Sediment Quality Guideline (Effect Range Low, ERL) proposed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. Similarly, the geoaccumulation index (Igeo) class indicated that pollution by metallic elements in intertidal surface sediment, except As, was moderate or non-existent. Our results imply that the intertidal surface sediments along the southwestern coast of Korea are not polluted by organic matter and metallic elements and are healthy for benthic organisms.

공업단지 인근 중금속 복합오염 농경지에서 중금속 오염 특성과 재배작물인 미나리중에 흡수 축적된 중금속과의 관계를 구명하기 위해 토양내 중금속의 상대적인 오염평가지수, 미나리의 중금속 축적양상 및 식물흡수도 등을 분석 검토하였다. 토양의 화학성분은 일반 논토양보다 대체로 높았으며, 특히 토양 pH및 치환성 Ca 함량이 매우 높았다. 토양의 중금속 중 Cd 및 Cu 농도가 우리나라 토양환경기준을 초과하였고, 년차별 0.1N-HCl 추출 가용성함량은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 토양의 중금속 오염지수(PI) 및 그 편차는 재배토양 보다 농수로 퇴적토양에서 높았고, 중금속별 지화학적농축계수(Igeo)는 Cu>Cd>Ni>Zn>Pb 순이었다. 토양의 전함량에 대한 0.1N-HCl 침출성 함량 비율은 Cd>Cu>Zn>Ni>Pb 순이었고, 그 관계에서 Cd 및 Ni 성분은 고도의 정의 상관을 나타내었다. 미나리 부위별 중금속은 대부분이 뿌리에 축적되었으며, 지상부로의 이행지수(TF)는 Zn 및 Cu가 높은 경향이었다. 식물 흡수도는 비나리 부위 및 성분별로 큰 차이를 보였고, 토양 및 부위별 농도간에는 Cd, Cu 및 Ni 성분이 상관성이 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 토양의 중금속 오염도는 매우 높았으나 재배작물인 미나리중의 중금속은 대부분 뿌리에서 축적되고, 가식부위인 지상부로의 이행성은 매우 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this talk, I will present two research works in progress, which are: i) mapping of piezoelectric polarization and associated charge density distribution in the heteroepitaxial InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) structure of a light emitting diode (LED) by using inline electron holography and ii) in-situ observation of the polarization switching process of an ferroelectric Pb(Zr1-x,Tix)O3 (PZT) thin film capacitor under an applied electric field in transmission electron microscope (TEM). In the first part, I will show that strain as well as total charge density distributions can be mapped quantitatively across all the functional layers constituting a LED, including n-type GaN, InGaN/GaN MQWs, and p-type GaN with sub-nm spatial resolution (~0.8 nm) by using inline electron holography. The experimentally obtained strain maps were verified by comparison with finite element method simulations and confirmed that not only InGaN QWs (2.5 nm in thickness) but also GaN QBs (10 nm in thickness) in the MQW structure are strained complementary to accommodate the lattice misfit strain. Because of this complementary strain of GaN QBs, the strain gradient and also (piezoelectric) polarization gradient across the MQW changes more steeply than expected, resulting in more polarization charge density at the MQW interfaces than the typically expected value from the spontaneous polarization mismatch alone. By quantitative and comparative analysis of the total charge density map with the polarization charge map, we can clarify what extent of the polarization charges are compensated by the electrons supplied from the n-doped GaN QBs. Comparison with the simulated energy band diagrams with various screening parameters show that only 60% of the net polarization charges are compensated by the electrons from the GaN QBs, which results in the internal field of ~2.0 MV cm-1 across each pair of GaN/InGaN of the MQW structure. In the second part of my talk, I will present in-situ observations of the polarization switching process of a planar Ni/PZT/SrRuO3 capacitor using TEM. We observed the preferential, but asymmetric, nucleation and forward growth of switched c-domains at the PZT/electrode interfaces arising from the built-in electric field beneath each interface. The subsequent sideways growth was inhibited by the depolarization field due to the imperfect charge compensation at the counter electrode and preexisting a-domain walls, leading to asymmetric switching. It was found that the preexisting a-domains split into fine a- and c-domains constituting a $90^{\circ}$ stripe domain pattern during the $180^{\circ}$ polarization switching process, revealing that these domains also actively participated in the out-of-plane polarization switching. The real-time observations uncovered the origin of the switching asymmetry and further clarified the importance of charged domain walls and the interfaces with electrodes in the ferroelectric switching processes.

현재 의료분야에서는 방사선 차폐체로서 납(Pb)이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 하지만 납은 무게가 매우 무거워 납치마 등의 방호복은 장시간 착용이 어려우며, 인체에 치명적인 납 중독의 위험이 상시 가지고 있다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 납을 대체 할 수 있는 물질에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 납의 대체물질로써 대표적인 바륨(Ba)과 요오드(I) 등은 우수한 차폐능을 가지고 있지만, 30keV 근처의 에너지 영역에서 특성 X선을 방출하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 환자나 방사선 종사자의 경우 차폐체를 인체에 접촉하고 있는 경우가 많으므로 차폐체에서 발생되는 특성 X선이 인체에 직접 조사되어 방사선 피폭을 증가시킬 위험이 매우 높다. 본 연구에서는 바륨(Ba)과 요오드(I)등에서 발생되는 특성 X선을 제거하기에 적절한 이중구조 차폐체를 방사선 수송코드 중 하나인 FLUKA 수송코드를 개발하여 선행연구로서 진행된 MCNPX 시뮬레이션과 비교 분석하여 이중구조 차폐체의 차폐율에 대한 신뢰성을 검증하고자 하였다. MCNPX와 FLUKA를 이용하여 황산바륨($BaSO_4$)과 산화비스무스($Bi_2O_3$)로 이루어진 다양한 두께조합의 이중구조 차폐체를 설계하였으며, IEC61331-1에 제시된 모식도를 기하학적으로 동일하게 시뮬레이션 상에 구현하였다. 또한, 120 kVp의 연속 X선 스펙트럼에 대한 차폐체의 투과스펙트럼과 흡수선량을 납과 비교 평가하였다. 평가결과, $0.3mm-BaSO_4/0.3mm-Bi_2O_3$ 와 $0.1mm-BaSO_4/0.5mm-Bi_2O_3$ 구조에서는 33 keV와 37 keV의 특성 X선을 모두 흡수하였으며, 90 keV 이상의 고에너지 X선에 대해서도 납과 거의 유사한 차폐효율을 보였다. 또한, FLUKA의 수송코드는 33 keV 이하에서는 cut-off 가 발생하여 저에너지 X선 광자에 대한 전산모사에 제약이 있지만, 40 keV 이상의 고에너지 영역에서 MCNPX와의 상대오차가 6 % 이내로 신뢰성이 매우 우수하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study compared the recovery rate of intrajugular-administered allantoin in the urine and saliva between swamp buffaloes and zebu cattle to examine whether it could explain the lower excretion rate of urinary purine derivatives (PD) in the buffaloes. Three male swamp buffalo yearlings, with an average body weight of $349{\pm}40.35$ kg, and three Thai native cattle ($154{\pm}3.26$ kg) of similar age and sex were used in the study. Animals were kept in individual pens and fed at a maintenance energy level with a diet containing 65% monk bean husk (Vigna radiata) as roughage and 35% concentrates. Allantoin solution was infused into the jugular vein in four incremental rates equivalent to 0, 5, 10 and 15 mmol/d and urine was collected daily in acidified form. Daily PD excretion was linearly correlated with intrajugular allantoin infusion in both species. The relationship between daily urinary PD excretion (Y, mmol/d) and intrajugular allantoin infused (X, mmol/d) was $Y=0.75{\pm}0.318X+22.45{\pm}2.98$ ($r^2$ = 0.36, n = 12, MSE = 38.02, CV = 21.9, p<0.01) for swamp buffaloes and $Y=0.96{\pm}0.10X+15.93{\pm}0.92$ ($r^2$ = 0.91, n = 12, MSE = 3.60, CV = 8.27, p<0.01) for zebu cattle. The salivary PD concentration was not correlated with intrajugular allantoin infusion in both species, with values for buffaloes numerically lower than those for cattle. The present study reconfirmed previous studies that buffaloes have a lower plasma PD excretion rate via the renal route and a significant proportion (22%) of the plasma PD loss is via the saliva. However, results of our present and previous studies suggest that differences in purine base (PB) metabolism between buffaloes and zebu cattle occur before the purine compounds reach the plasma pool.

Accelerated thermal aging of chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) was performed for 0 days, 80.82 days, and 161.63 days at 100℃, which is equivalent to 0 y, 40 y, and 80 y of aging, respectively, at 50℃. After freshwater flooding, the volume electrical resistivity of CSPE was highest after 180 days of drying, and its insulating property recovered when dried for more than 300 days. The dielectric constant of the CSPE was not measured after seawater flooding. The dielectric constant of the accelerated thermally aged CSPE was higher after freshwater flooding than that before seawater flooding. The bright, open pores of CSPE were converted into dark, closed pores after seawater flooding, and the dark, closed pores of the accelerated thermally aged CSPE samples were partly converted into bright, open pores after freshwater flooding. The apparent density of CSPE increased slightly whereas its elongation at break (EAB) decreased until 80 y of accelerated thermal aging before seawater flooding. The peak binding energies of oxygen in the non-accelerated and accelerated thermally aged CSPE for 40 y and 80 y were shifted by more than 1.0 eV after seawater and freshwater flooding. The CH2 content in the non-accelerated and accelerated thermally aged CSPE for 40 y and 80 y after seawater flooding for 5 days was lower than that before seawater flooding whereas atoms such as Cl, O, Pb, Al, Si, Sb, and S that are related to conducting ions such as Na⁺, Cl^-, Mg²⁺, SO4 ^2-, and K⁺ were relatively increased.

This study was investigated with sample digestion techniques and a reliability of the analytical results for a quantitative analysis of a standard reference material ('urban particulate matter', SRM 1648). The metallic elements were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with closed vessel microwave acid digestion method and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Quality control of the overall analytical procedures for metallic element determinations of standard reference material were estimated by analysis of a SRM 1648. Three digestion solutions $(type\;1:\;HNO_3,\;type\;2:\;HNO_3\;and\;H2O_2(4'1)\;mixture,\;type\;3:5.55\%\; HNO_3\;and\;16.75\%\;HCI\;mixture)$ were applied to SRM 1648. As a result, three digestion solutions used in this study are completely unable to digest Cr of SRM 1648. Reliability of Cr and As showed some errors in the digestion with digestion solution type (3) due to the influence of chlorides. Type (3) digestion solutions are sufficient to fulfill the digestion of As as well as Se in SRM 1648. ICP-MS results showed the improvement in accurate and precise determination of some trace elements like Cd, V and Pb in SRM 1648. It is important to use the proper digestion solution for each element to qualify analytical precision.

The development of non-precious metal based electrocatalysts is highly desired for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as alternates to noble metal based ORR electrocatalysts. Herein, we report mononulcear copper(II) complex $[CuLbpy]ClO_4$ (L=4-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]benzoic acid) containing poly(allylamine.HCl) polymer (PAlACuLbpy) as an electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). PAlACuLbpy was mixed with poly(acrylic acid) and tetraethylortho silicate to prepare a composite and then deposited on the screen printed electrode surface. The modified electrode (PAlACuLbpy/PCE) is highly stable and showed a quasi-reversible redox behavior with $E_{1/2}=-0.2V$ vs. Ag/AgCl(3 M KCl) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7 under argon atmosphere. PAlACuLbpy/PCE exhibited a remarkable ORR activity with an onset potential of -0.1 V vs Ag/AgCl in 0.1 M PB (pH 7) in the presence of oxygen. The kinetics for ORR was studied by rotating disk voltammetry in neutral aqueous medium and the results indicated that the number of electrons involving in the ORR is four and the conversion products are water and hydrogen peroxide.
