In this study, we examined the effect of NO addition on the ozone-induced soot oxidation activity of $LaMnO_3$ perovskite catalysts. The addition of 10~20% NO ($NO_2$) with respect to the concentration of ozone effectively enhanced the rate of ozone-induced soot oxidation rate over $LaMnO_3$. However, the excessive addition of NO ($NO_2$) was detrimental to ozone-induced soot oxidation activity. It is supposed nitrogen oxides would adsorb on the catalyst and then react with carbon-oxygen species developed on soot surface, but an excessive addition of nitrogen oxide would inhibit the formation of carbon-oxygen species, which is a key intermediate in the reaction, and consequently suppress the oxidation rate of soot.

Lipid oxidation is one of the major factors affecting on deterioration of nutritional quality in dried fish products. In this paper, the relationship between oxidized products of lipid and brown pigments, free amino acids and available lysine during the storage of dried sea eel, Muraesox cinereus, was investigated. And the inhibiting effect of antioxidant to lipid oxidation and its role to the protein quality were also discussed. From the results, TBA and carbonyl value rapidly increased while amino-N and available lysine diminished during hot air drying. This suggests that drying conditions greatly affected to the oxidation of lipid and making amino acids 'unavailable'. TBA value increased up to 20 days, and hereafter gradually diminished. Increase in TBA and carbonyl value and formation of fat oxidative brown pigment were closely related to the loss of free amino-N and available lysine. The loss of available lysine seemed to be affected by the formation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds rather than saturated carbonyl compounds. By the treatment of antioxidant, the loss of amino acids and available lysine was somewhat retarded. This may suggests that the oxidation of lipid or oxidative browning reactions are functioning to the loss of available lysine. In antioxidant treated sample, 23% of amino-N to the total amino-N in the fresh sample was lost after 20 days storage at $30^{\circ}C$ while the loss of amino-N to 39% in case of the control, and afterward the value treated to be slightly reduced or remained steady.

For two agricultural reservoirs that are rented for fishing spots, benthic nutrient fluxes experiment were performed two times with two sediments from fishing-effective zone and one sediment from fishing-ineffective zone using laboratory core incubation in oxic and anoxic conditions. During benthic nutrient fluxes experiment, the changes in DO, EC, pH, and ORP in the supernatant were not significantly different between fishing-effective zone and fishing-ineffective zone, and were similar to the sediment-hypolimnetic diffused boundary layer in agricultural reservoir. Except for $NO_3{^-}-N$, more benthic nutrient fluxes of $NH_4{^+}-N$, T-P, and $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ from sediment to hypolimnetic was measured in anoxic than in oxic conditions (p<0.05). As the DO concentration in hypolimnetic decreases, the microorganism-mediated ammonification is promoted, the nitrification is suppressed, and finally the $NH_4{^+}-N$ diffuses out from sediment to hypolimnetic. Also, the diffusion of T-P and $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ from sediments to hypolimnetic is accelerated through the dissociation of the phosphorus bound to both organic matters and metal hydroxides. The difference in the benthic nutrient diffusive fluxes between fishing-effective zone and fishing-ineffective zone was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Therefore, it was found that fishing activities did not increase the benthic nutrient diffusive fluxes to a statistically significant level. Due to the short fishing activities of 10 years and the rate-limited diffusion of the laboratory core incubation, the contribution of fishing activities on sediment pollution is estimated to be low. No significant correlation was found between the total amount of nutrients in sediment and the benthic nutrient diffusive fluxes in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Therefore, nutrients input from various nonpoint sources of watersheds are considered to be a more dominant factor rather than fishing activities in water quality deterioration, and both aeration and water circulation in hypolimnetic were required to suppress the anoxic environment in agricultural reservoirs.

Nutrients in stormwater runoff have raised concerns regarding water quality degradation in the recent years. Low impact development (LID) technologies are types of nature-based solutions developed to address water quality problems and restore the predevelopment hydrology of a catchment area. Two LID facilities, infiltration trench (IT) and infiltration planter (IP), are known for their high removal rate of nutrients through sedimentation and vegetation. Long-term monitoring was conducted to assess the performance and cite the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing the facilities in nutrient removal. Since a strong ionic bond exists between phosphorus compounds and sediments, reduction of total phosphorus (TP) (more than 76%), in both facilities was associated to the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) (more than 84%). The efficiency of nitrogen in IP is 28% higher than IT. Effective nitrification occurred in IT and particulate forms of nitrogen were removed through sedimentation and media filters. Decrease in ammonium- nitrogen (NH₄-N) and nitrite-nitrogen (NO₂-N), and increase in nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) fraction forms indicated that effective nitrification and denitrification occurred in IP. Hydrologic factors such as rainfall depth and rainfall intensity affected nutrient treatment capabilities of urban stormwater LID facilities The greatest monitored rainfall intensity of 11 mm/hr for IT yielded to 34% and 55% removal efficiencies for TN and TP, respectively, whereas, low rainfall intensities below 5 mm resulted to 100 % removal efficiency. The greatest monitored rainfall intensity for IP was 27 mm/hr, which still resulted to high removal efficiencies of 98% and 97% for TN and TP, respectively. Water quality assessment showed that both facilities were effective in reducing the amount of nutrients; however, IP was found to be more efficient than IT due to its additional provisions for plant uptake and larger storage volume.

뽕잎의 지금까지 박ㄹ혀진 생리활성은 중금속 흡착과 해독효과, 황산화 효과, 혈중지질 억제효과 및 혈당강하 효과를 들 수 있는데, 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 뽕잎이 Cd과 Pb같은 중금속에 대한 흡착 및 해독작용에 미치는 영향을 조사해 본 결과, 납중독으로 인하여 감소된 Hb와 Haematocritcl가 뽕잎 투여로 증가되었고 특히 gpa합성에 관여하는 DALAD효소 활성을 증가시켰다. 또한 뇨로의 Pb의 배설 효과가 뽕잎 투여로 증진되었으며 각 조직으로의 Pb축적을 감소시켰다. Cdwndehr으로 중독시킨 흰쥐에서도 감소된 Hd와 Haematocritcl가 뽕잎투여로 증가되었고, 특히 간조직 중의 Cd축적을 61%로 감소시켜 유의성있게 감소시켰다. 또한 뽕잎투여로 인하여 변으로의 Cd의 배설효과는 38%였고 이는 녹차투여 효솨보다는 낮은 수준이었다. 2)뽕잎의 향산화 효과는 녹차와 거의 비슷하였고 특히 혐기 처리함으로써 그 활성이 증가하였다. 또한 뽕잎중의 황산화 활성 성분은 10여종 flavonoidfb 이었고 그 중 quercetin이 가장 높은 황산화 활성을 나타냈다. 특히 dlavonidfb 화합물 중 kaempferol계열의 화합뭉이 황산화 효과가 높음을 알수 있었다. 3) 뽕잎의 고지혈 억제작용에 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과 뽕잎은 혈중 총 콜레스테롤이 차지하는 비율을 보였고 특히 혈중 중성지질 함량을 감소시킴으로써 정상의 80%수준까지 회복시켰다. 또한 콜레스테롤 생합성에 관여하는 효소활성을 뽕잎의 메탄올 추출물 중 물분획뭉이 59.9%수준으로 억제시켰고 지방분해효소 활성은 유의적인 수준은 아니었지만 16% 증가시켰다. 4) 뽕잎의 혈당강하 효과는 뽕잎을 질소가스를 이용하여 혐기처리하는 경우 유의적으로 그 효과가 증강되었다. 또한 뽕잎은 대조약물인 acarbose의 10배 용량에서 대조약물보다 23% 이상의 혈당강하 효과를 나타냈다. 이들의 혈당강하 효과는 같은 농도에서 인슐린 함량을 27%회복시켰으며 특히 surcrose와 maltose와 같은 이당류를 부하시켰을 때 혈당 강하 효과는 유의적이었다. 이는 뽕잎의 혈당강화 효과는 인슐린생합성 증가에 의한 것보다는 glucosidase의 활성을 억제시키는 기전이 더 많이 관여하는 것으로 판단할수 있었다. 또한 뽕잎 중의 혈당강하 성분으로 알려진 1-deoxynojirimycin 함량은 혐기처리로 인하여 그 함량이 5%정도 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 뽕잎의 생리활성 결과에 기초할 때, 뽕잎은 고지혈증을 포함한 성인병 질환의 예방과 회복에 관련되는 조절기능을 생체에 충분히 발휘할수 있는 기능성 식품의 중요한 자원으로 이용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

This paper investigated the combustion and exhaust gas characteristics of gasoline direct injection engines for various cooling water temperature. The engine-out nanoparticle emission number and size distribution were measured by a DMS-500 equipped upstream of the catalyst. A CLD-400 and an HFR-400 were equipped at the exhaust port to analyze the cyclic NOx and total hydrocarbon emission characteristics. The results showed that the nanoparticle emission number greatly increased at low coolant temperatures and that the exhaust mainly contained particulate matter of 5.10 nm. THC also increased under low temperature conditions because of fuel film on the combustion chamber. NOx emissions decreased under high temperature conditions because of the increase in internal exhaust gas recirculation. In conclusion, an engine management system control strategy for driving coolant temperature up rapidly is needed to reduce not only THC and NOx but also nanoparticle emissions.

초전도 재료는 선재의 형태로 가공하면 송전선이나 변압기, 발전기 그리고 전력 저장장치 등에 사용되어 전력계통의 효율을 극대화시킬 수 있는 재료로서 실제 응용 기기의 개발을 위해 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 더우기 1980년대 후반에 개발된 고온초전도 산화물 재료는 액체질수의 비등점인 77K 이상에서 초전도현상을 나타내어 초전도 현상의 응용에 대한 기대를 고조시켜 이에 대한 연구를 더욱 활성화시키고 있다. 초전도선재 연구는 그간 PIT(Powder in Tube) 공정을 이용한 Ag/Bi-2223(Ag/$Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O$) 선재가 높은 전기적 성질과 장선 가공상의 잇점으로 인해 많은 연구와 성과가 있었다. 그러나 Ag/Bi-2223선재는 강한 자기장 하에서 통전 능력이 현저하게 저하되는 성질 때문에 높은 자기장하에서 사용하기 위해서는 사용온도를 액체질소온도보다 상당히 낮은 20K 부근까지 낮추어야 한다는 점 때문에 전력기기 개발에 제한이 따르는 단점이 있다. 이에 반해 최근에 개발된 금속/YBCO 박막 복합선재는 높은 전기적 특성 이외에 특히 높은 자장에서도 통전 능력의 저하가 적어 제한 없이 전력기기의 모든 분야에 사용할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 따라서 1993년에 일본에서 Ni 금속기판에 물리적 증착방법으로 YBCO($YiBa_2Cu_3O$) 박막을 증착시킨 선재제조에 성공하고 있어 1996년에 Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL)에서 Rolling Assisted Biaxially Textured Substrate (RaBiTS) 라는 집합조직을 형성시킨 금속기판이 개발되어 연속적인 가공의 가능성이 확인된 후 이의 특성향상 및 가공기술 개발을 위한 많은 연구가 수행되고 이다. 이 글에서는 이제 까지 개발된 금속기판을 사용한 YBCO계 초전도 박막형 선재의 제조기술 중에서 최근 가장 가능성 있는 것으로 평가되는 RABiTS 방법을 위주로 그 외에 IBAD와 ISD 방법에 관하여 소개하고 현재까지의 개발현황 및 앞으로의 전망에 대하여 간략하게 기술하고자 한다.

Nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) is a potent greenhouse gas as well as an ozone-depleting substance. $N_2O$ is emitted during the biological nitrogen removal process in wastewater treatment systems (WTSs), and has significant environmental impacts. In this study, $N_2O$ emission in WTSs was comprehensively reviewed to better understand the effects of key parameters on $N_2O$ emission and obtain useful guidelines for $N_2O$ mitigation strategies in WTSs. Three biological pathways leading to $N_2O$ emission are hydroxylamine oxidation, nitrifier denitrification, and heterotrohic denitrification. Measurements at lab-, pilot- and full-scale WTSs have shown large variations in $N_2O$ emission (0-95% of N-loaded) during wastewater treatment. In the full-scale WTSs (0-14.6% $N_2O$ of N-loaded), the average and median values were 1.95% and 0.2% of N-loaded, respectively. Dissolved oxygen, nitrite concentrations, and chemical oxygen demand (COD)/N ratio are the most important parameters leading to $N_2O$ emission. A variety of operational strategies have been suggested to minimize $N_2O$ emission from WTSs. A new $N_2O$ mitigation strategy involving the introduction of microorganisms with high $N_2O$ reductase activity or oxygenic denitrification ability has been proposed as an alternative canonical denitrification.

Both strains of KD-1212 and DAH-1056 were isolated and identified from animal manure-contaminated soil by screening bacterial strains for the removal of sulfur compound-malodor with such substrate as sodium thiosulfate or free sulfur. Then the characteristics on the incubation of these microbes were observed under various incubating-condition such as pH, temperature, aerobic or anaerobic, substrate(sulfur compound) concentration, nitrogen and carbon source and rotating speed for mixing, and the optimum incubating condition was established. The optimum pHs of KD-1212 and DAH-1056 were 7.0 and 4.0, respectively, and their optimum temperatures were in the range of $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$. Another autotrophic strain, ED-1138, was isolated from contaminated soil. The strain DAH-1056 excelled a strain Thiobacillus sp. IW in eliminating hydrogen sulfide during the process of malodor-biofiltration with a fixed strain. The characteristics on the incubation of strain KD-1212 were observed under various substrate-concentrations, nitrogen and carbon sources. KD-1212 favored glucose and maltose, and yeast extract as carbon sources and nitrogen source, respectively. The optimum concentrations of substrate and nitrogen source were 25 mM of sodium thiosulfate and 0.5% yeast extract, respectively for the growth of strain KD-1212.

In order to estimate the uranium flux from seawater to sediments, we took pore water samples and deployed benthic chambers on seafloor of Chonsu Bay, Korea. The uranium flux across the sediment-water interface was estimated from the pore water to be 0.112-0.566 mg/$m^2yr$, corresponding to a removal flux of $4.3-21.5{\times}10^7$ gU/yr for the entire Yellow Sea. Nutrient fluxes from sediment to bottom water were estimated to be 135.6 mmol/$m^2yr$ for ammonia, 228.2 mmol/$m^2yr$ for nitrate, 36.8 mmol/$m^2yr$ for phosphate and 23.9 mmol/$m^2yr$ for silicate. The redox boundary, based on the distribution of pore water nitrate and solid phase manganese, was located at 3-5 cm below the sediment surface. Phosphate flux obtained by benthic chambers was 28.S mmol/$m^2yr$. On the other hand, estimates of uranium and silicate fluxes were orders of magnitude greater than those based on pore water profiles. Flux estimates on the basis of pore water concentration is believed to have greater reliability than those obtained from benthic chamber data.
