본 연구는 국내 생약중 도라지를 포함, 인삼, 당귀, 생강, 마 5가지를 선별하여 각 원물별로 항산화 활성 가장 높은 기준으로 증숙시킨 조건의 흑도라지, 흑삼, 흑당귀, 흑생강, 흑마를 확보하였다. 증숙시킨 5가지 생약은 다시 혼합 추출(BMHE; Black Mixed Herbal Extract)하여 증숙하지 않은 생약 혼합 추출물(MHE; Mixed Herbal extract)과 항산화, 항염 및 항알러지 활성을 비교하여 증숙공정이 생약의 생리활성에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 바탕으로 피부향장 소재로 활용가능성을 확인하고자 연구하였다. 실험은 MHE와 BMHE를 각각 50% Ethyl alcohol로 추출하여 감압농축하여 생리활성을 평가하였으며, MHE와 BMHE 추출물에 대한 세포생존률을 확인한 결과 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 각각 89.4%와 95.3%의 세포생존률을 보임에 따라 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ 이하의 농도에서 HME와 BMHE 모두 세포독성이 거의 적은 것을 확인하였다. DPPH radical scavenging effects 항산화 활성에 대하여 MHE와 BMHE을 비교한 결과 농도 의존적으로 항산화 활성을 보였으며 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 각각 66.8%와 74.2%의 라디칼 소거능을 확인하였다. NO assay로부터 항염활성을 비교한 결과에서도 MHE와 BMHE 모두 농도 의존적으로 NO의 함량 감소시켰으며 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$로 처리한 농도에서는 59.5%와 64.7%의 억제율을 각각 보임에 따라 항염 효과도 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 항알레르기 효능 실험 중 하나인 5-LO 억제효능을 측정하여 ME와 BME의 항알러지 효능을 측정한 결과 상기의 결과와 마찬가지로 농도 의존적으로 5-Lipoxygenase를 억제하였으며, $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 MHE와 BMHE를 처리하였을 시 5-Lipoxygenase 효소활성에 대하여 각각 76.2%와 83.5%의 높은 억제율을 확인 하였다. 이는 양성대조군인 EGCG를 $200{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 처리한 9.10%에 근접한 억제율을 보임에 따라 항알러지 효과가 우수한을 확인할 수 있었다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 BMHE가 MHE보다 항산화, 항염, 항알러지 활성이 우수한 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 이는 증숙기법이 생약의 생리활성을 높여주는 것은 물론 더 나아가 본 연구를 통해 확보된 5가지 흑도라지, 흑삼, 흑당귀, 흑생강, 흑마는 향후 피부향장 소재로 활용이 용이할 것으로 사료된다.

As machines have been automated in the field of industries in recent years, it is a paramount importance to manage and maintain the automation machines. When a fault occurs in sensors attached to the machine, the machine may malfunction and further, a huge damage will be caused in the process line. To prevent the situation, the fault of sensors should be monitored, diagnosed and classified in a proper way. In the paper, we propose a sensor fault detection scheme based on SVM and CNN to detect and classify typical sensor errors such as erratic, drift, hard-over, spike, and stuck faults. Time-domain statistical features are utilized for the learning and testing in the proposed scheme, and the genetic algorithm is utilized to select the subset of optimal features. To classify multiple sensor faults, a multi-layer SVM is utilized, and ensemble technique is used for CNN. As a result, the SVM that utilizes a subset of features selected by the genetic algorithm provides better performance than the SVM that utilizes all the features. However, the performance of CNN is superior to that of the SVM.

Because of the development of Smart phone devices, the demands of high performance FPU(Floating-point Unit) becomes increasing. Therefore, we propose the high-speed single-/double-precision FPU design that includes an elementary add/sub unit and improved multiplier and compare and convert units. The most commonly used add/sub unit is optimized by the parallel rounding unit. The matrix operation is used in complex calculation something like a graphic calculation. We designed the Multiply-Add Fused(MAF) instead of multiplier to calculate the matrix more quickly. The branch instruction that is decided by the compare operation is very frequently used in various programs. We bypassed the result of the compare operation before all the pipeline processes ended to decrease the total execution time. And we included additional convert operations that are added in IEEE754-2008 standard. To verify our RTL designs, we chose four hundred thousand test vectors by weighted random method and simulated each unit. The FPU that was synthesized by Samsung's 45-nm low-power process satisfied the 600-MHz operation frequency. And we confirm a reduction in area by comparing the improved FPU with the existing FPU.

Cellobiose dehydrogenase(CDH) as a hemoflavoenzyme is secreted out of cell in the cellulose degradation. As CDH strongly bound to amorphous cellulose, it helps cellulose hydrolysis by cellulase. CDH may have an important role of saccharification process for bioethanol production. In this study, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 32629 was selected for the production of CDH among other strains tested. The optimal temperature and pH of CDH produced by P. chrysosporium ATCC 32629 were ${55^{\circ}C}$ and 4, respectively. To improve the activity of CDH, the mutation of P. chrysosporium was performed using proton beam that has high energy level partially. As a result, P. chrysosporium mutant with the high activity was selected at 1.2 kGy in a range of 99.9% lethal rate. The CDH and $\beta$-glucosidase activities of mutant were 1.4 fold and 20 fold higher than those of wild strain. Therefore, P. chrysosporium mutant with the high activities of CDH and $\beta$-glucosidase was obtained from mutation by proton beam irradiation.

Enzymes are widely used in industrial applications such as detergents, food, feed production, pharmaceuticals and medical applications and major contributors to clean industrial products and processes. To screen, identify, and characterize the enzymes the zymography techniques are routinely used. The zymography technique is a simple, sensitive, and quantifiable technique that is widely used to detect functional enzymes following electrophoretic separation in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels. The method is a versatile two-stage technique involving protein separation by electrophoresis followed by the detection of enzyme activity in polyacrylamide gels under non-reducing conditions. It is based on SDS-polyacrylamide gel (PAG) copolymerization with substrates, which are degraded by the hydrolytic enzymes restored in enzyme reaction buffer after the electrophoretic separation. Any kind of biological sample can be applied and analyzed on zymography, including culture supernatants of microbes, plants extracts, blood, tissue culture fluids, enzymes in foods extracts and metaproteome. The advantage of zymography is that it is possible to directly detect the protein with activity on the electrophoretic gel as well as confirm the activity at the nanogram level. Thus, this zymography technology can be applied in various fields. However, these advantages are rather disadvantageous and can often lead to experimental errors. In this review, the advantages, disadvantages, and problem solving of zymography technique are described.

This study was carried out to evaluate the applicability of the soil washing process to remediation mercury-contaminated mine tailing or solid material (soil and sediments etc.) around abandoned mines. First, the physicochemical characteristics of mine tailing were analyzed through particle size analysis and sequential extraction. Secondly, laboratory scale washing experiments were performed using hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, potassium iodide and sodium thiosulfate. As a results of particle size analysis, mine tailing particle were concentrated below 40 mesh and the particle size below 200 mesh was the most analyzed. As a result of sequential extraction, elemental mercury fraction was analyzed as the highest with 69.12%, with strongly bound fraction 15.25% and residual and HgS fractions 11.97%, respectively. Laboratory scale washing experiments showed low applicability for nitric acid and sodium thiosulfate solutions. In case of hydrochloric acid solution, it was analyzed that mercury removal was possible at particle size of 200 mesh or more. Therefore, it is considered to be performed together with the physical sorting process. Potassium iodide solution was analyzed to have high washing efficiency at all concentrations and particle sizes. In particular, the mercury removal efficiency is high in the micro particles, and thus the applicability of the washing technology is the highest.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of strains which were isolated from market milk treated with ESL(extended shelf life) and conventional system, and to compare the microbiological quality of ESL milk with conventional milk. In order to characterize the isolated strains, purification, Gram staining, spore staining, catalase, oxidase, motility test, and identification by means of automatic identificator were performed. The results obtained are as follows: total 364 selected strains were analyzed in this study. Depending upon the isolated source, the number of strains from conventional milk was found to be Higher than ESL-milk. By means of grouping of total strains, Bacillus ssp. and Staphylococcus ssp. showed to be predominant. But most of strains were distributed with various groups except Lactobacillus ssp. When the isolates were compared with milk process methods, Enterococcus ssp. was detected much on market milk treated with LTLT pasteurization. Also, Pseudomonas ssp. was detected much on conventional milk treated with UHT pasteurization. By comparison with genus groups depending upon storage temperature of market milk, the higher milk storage temperature increased, the most frequency detected Bacillus ssp. increased. Also, Pseudomonas ssp. was detected most frequently at 10$^{\circ}C$ storage condition. Generally this genus derived from post-contamination during milk processing and related to the quality of market milk during chilled system. In conclusion, it was shown that ESL system reduced post-contamination during milk process, following the improvement of product quality and life cycle during the distribution of market milk.

For the development of biocatalysts and processes for microbial desulfurization of petroleum, more than 60 microbial strains capable of DBT(Dibenzothiophene) degradation were isolated from oil-polluted soils through 3 months of continuous and enrichment cultures. Among them, A23-3 strain could grow on DBT as the only sulfur source, while hexadecane was not utilized as a carbon source. The rate of desulfurization by A23-3 in a DBT-glucose medium was satisfactory. The addition of yeast extract or trace metal solution accelerated the rate of desulfurization about 4.5~6.5 times. In case of actual diesel oil treatment, the specific rate of DBT degradation was $0.045g-DBT\;per\;g-cell{\cdot}hour$. A number of aromatic compounds heavier than $C_{14}$ in diesel oil were also degraded by A23-3. A23-3 strain was evaluated as a good catalyst for the production of low-sulfur, low-aromatic clean diesel oil.

Hazard Analysis is one of the basic tasks to ensure the safety of chemical plants. However, it is an arduous, tedious, time-consuming work and requires multidisciplinary knowledge and demands considerable cognitive load from the analysts. To overcome these problems, there have been attempts to automate this work by utilizing computer technology, particularly in the area of knowledge-based technique. There is two methods in the risk assessment of Chemical plant; quantitative and qualitative risk assessment. Both of them have been applied respectively, but if the integrated method of quantitative and qualitative risk assessments is used, all of the advantage of two methods can be applied. It is difficult to carry out integrated risk management of chemical plant. Therefore, automated integration system of risk management is necessary. We developed S/W Automated System for Hazard Screening & Analysis(ASCA) and applied to practical plant. By applying ASCA to case study, we can get the information about relative ranks of equipments, variable deviation, and consequence of potential accident. In this study, we applied ASCA to the H.T.U(Hydrotreating Unit) of the process to produce aromatic material. We could know relative ranks of equipments, variable deviation of malfunction in storage tank, D-101, and consequence of potential accident using ASCA. If integrated risk management in the chemical plant is applied, we can develop the emergency plan and prevent the accident.
