The amount of material upheaved owing to the installation of a granular compaction pile (GCP) in the seabed was analyzed by a field execution. The amount of material upheaved was predicted by existing equations, proposed by the Korea Construction New-Technology Association (KCNET; 2003) and Shiomi and Kawamoto (1986), and compared with the amount measured by bathymetry in the field. As a result, the upheaval heights were found to show a clear increase with increasing replacement ratio. The measured amount was larger than the amount predicted by the equations, but the amount predicted from the equation proposed by KCNET (2003) was relatively close to the measured amount. The upheaval heights were found to be more sensitive to the replacement ratio than the installation depth. The increasing trends of the upheaval heights with the installation depth as predicted by the equation of KCNET (2003) were in agreement with the measured trends at a replacement ratio of 25%. As a result of comparing the coefficients of upheaval by the equations, the coefficients of upheaval determined by the equation of KCNET (2003) were larger than those determined by the equation proposed by Shiomi and Kawamoto (1986), which were relatively close to the measured trends. Specifically, the difference between results obtained by both these equations was large when the replacement ratio was relatively low.

For recycling of waste foundry sands, researchers recently try to recycle them rather than depend on reclamation, and are studying on how to combine waste foundry sands with cement and use them for various kinds of construction material as the effective recycling method of waste foundry sand. In this research, The ways to find the proper replacement rate of waste foundry sands and to make use of them were suggested through the experiments on the range to apply waste foundry sands with two levels of 1:3 mixture rate of W/C 43% and 50%. The research result showed that in terms of liquidity as the characteristic of unhardened mortar, as the replacement rate of waste foundry sands increased, its flow tended to decrease. The amount of air also displayed a similar tendency to that of liquidity in that the higher the replacement rate of waste foundry sands became, the lower it became. With regard to the solidity trait of hardened mortar, it increased when the waste foundry sands were replaced more, and the replacement of waste foundry sands caused increased initial solidity. As for the amount of water permeated and that of water absorbed as the water tight proofing properties, the amount of permeated water was proved to decrease because of the gap recharge effect by the fine powder of waste foundry sands, and the replacement of waste foundry sands in the structures requiring watertightness is concluded to be very effective.

Ultra-fine $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$ferrite powders have been prepared by the sol-gel method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the sample have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spetroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. The formation of nano crystallized particles is confirmed. The x-ray diffractions of all samples with various compositions clearly indicate the presence of spinel structure. The Mossbauer spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two sextets due to F $e^{3+}$ A-site and B-site. The IS and QS values nearly constant with substituted Co-Ti contents, whereas $H_{hf}$ of B-site decreases with increasing Co-Ti substitution in $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$. The magnetic behaviour of powders shows that the saturation magnetization and the coercivity decrease with increasing x in $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$.$.X>.

We discuss that the growth inhibition activities against root and shoot of rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) by N-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (A) and N-phenyl-3,4-dimethylmaleimide (B) derivatives with changing substituents can be explained and predicted using comparative molecular field analyses (CoMPA) method. And the results show that the cross-validation value, $q^2$ at three components and Pearson correlation coefficient, $r^2$ were rice plant: shoot; $r^2=0.987$, $q^2=0.387$ & root; $r^2=0.923$, $q^2=0.307$ and barnyard grass: shoot; $r^2=0.902$, $q^2=0.535$ & root; $r^2=0.900$, $q^2=0.450$, respectively. In addition, The activities of unknown compounds were predicted by CoMFA method. From the contour map of (A) derivatives, the selective factors to remove barnyard grass takes positive charge on the benzylic carbon atom (C27), negative charged carbon atom (C29) of meta position and steric bulky groups on the cyclic imino ring (C7-C8).

The mechanisms underlying of the visual assessment and resulting in optimum embryonic development following in vitro maturation, fertilization, and culture are unclear, It was known that in vitro produced embryos show more frequent occurrence of fragmentation, which resulted in poor developmental potential and decreased implantation rate. The objective of this study was to investigate the apoptotic rates in bovine blastocyst derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF) and nuclear transfer (NT). In addition, the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax gene were investigated in the blastocyst to confirm their potential roles in the regulation of apoptosis during preimplantation embryonic development. Analysis of apoptosis was carried out by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediate dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. The levels of Bcl-2 and Bax gene in the blastocyst derived from IVF and NT were determined by RT-PCR. The proportion of TUNEL positive signal in blastocyst derived from NT was significantly higher than that in blastocyst derived from IVF (p<0.001). Bcl-2 expression level of blastocyst derived from IVF was higher than that of blstocyst derived from NT. However, high expression level of Bax was observed in the blastocyst derived from NT. These results indicates that apoptosis is more responsible for fiagmentation in bovine blastocyst derived from NT than IVF. These results suggested that the increase of developmental failure followed by NT could be caused by nuclear fragmentation as apoptosis.

최근 천연물을 중심으로 한 학문이 발전하면서 천연물이 가지는 생리활성 물질에 대한 관심이 중대되고 있다. 또한 인공합성품의 일부가 안정성의 문제가 제기되면서 천연물의 이용분야는 더욱 확대되고 있다. 급속한 경제발전과 생활수준의 향상으로 식생활을 포함한 생활방식의 다양화로 인하여 과거 감염 위주의 질병이 감소하고 선진국형의 만성퇴행성 질환이 증가하는 추세이다. 혈소판은 혈전증(thrombosis)과 지혈증(haemstasis)에서 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 인자로서 현관 내 병적 이상으로 인한 과도한 혈전의 생성은 뇌 -심혈관계 질환의 중요한 유발인자로 작용하므로 뇌ㆍ심혈관계 질환이나 항고지혈증을 연구하는데 유용하게 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토끼 혈액에서 분리한 세정 혈소판 부유액을 이용하여 작약 MeOH 추출물에서 분리한 천연생리활성물질들을 대상으로 혈소판 응집억제활성에 대하여 연구하였다. 작약 MeOH 추출물의 혈소판 응집억제활성 측정에서 강한 혈소판 응집억제활성 작용을 보였다. 따라서 작약 MeOH 추출물을 크로마토그라피법을 이용하여 분리하였고, NMR을 이용한 분광학적 방법으로 지금까지의 분리한 자료와 비교ㆍ분석하였다. Monoterpene glycoside 계열의 성분들인 15개의 compound와 다수의 fraction들을 HPLC를 이용하여 분리하였으며, collagen으로 유도된 혈소판 응집억제활성측정 방법에서 뛰어난 응집억제활성을 보였다. 표준물질을 이용한 HPLC 분석과 ¹H-NMR 관련 자료의 검색을 통하여 최종적으로 compound 1b가 benzoyloxy-paeoniflorin(2.6％). compound 1d가 paeond(1.3％), compound 2c가 albiflorin(3.2％), compound 2e가 paeoniflorin(33.6％)임을 확인할 수 있었다. Compound 3a의 분석결과 benzoyloxypaeoniflorin과 구조적 유사성은 있으나 동일한 구조식으로 확인할 수 없었다. 그러나 collagen에서 응집억제활성이 90％ 이상으로 뛰어난 활성을 나타내므로 benzoyloxypaeoniflorin과 유사한 구조에서 benzoyl group이 다른 작용기로 치환되었거나 R₁ group이 다른 작용기로 치환된 형태로 추측하였다. Benzoyloxypaeoniflorin은 collagen＞thrombin＞U46616＞A.A(arachidonic acid)＞PAF의 순으로 활성을 보였다. 이는 paeoniflorin의 glycoside 5-carbon위치에 위치한 OH기 대신에 benzoyl기로 치환된 benzoyl 기가 혈소판 억제 산물로 작용한 것으로 추측했다. Paeoniflorin.은 U46619＞thrombin＞collagen＞A.A＞PAF순으로 억제를 보였다. Paeoniflorin이 collagen보다 thrombin에서 강한 억제를 보이는 것으로 Ca/sup 2＋/ chelate를 형성함으로 인해 calciu 대사를 저해하는 것으로 추축했다. Compound 3a는 U46619＞collagen＞A.A＞thrombin＞PAF순으로 억제율을 보이므로 이 화합물은 paeoniflorin의 benzoyl기에 OH기가 다른 치환기로 바뀌거나 paeoniflorin의 glycoside 5-carbon 위치의 OH기 대신에 다른 작용기로 치환된 것으로 추정하였다. 이러한 결과로 작약의 주성분인 paeoniflorin과 유사한 구조를 가진 다른 monoterpene glycoside 계열의 화합물들과 비교 분석하고 구조를 화인하고 이들 성분이 어떻게 혈소판 응집억제활성에 작용하는지를 연구하였다.

배경: 이상적인 판막의 개발이 있기 전에는 가능하다면 원래의 판막을 보수하는 것이 좋을 것이라는 생각이 당연하며 실제 임상연구가들은 기술적으로 가능하다면 판막재건술이 판막치환에 비해 대단히 좋은 임상경과를 취한다고 보고하고 있다. 그러나 판막 치환례에서 수술성적과 임상성적이 오히려 좋게 나타나는 경우 이유가 있을 것이고 그 근본원인은 심실의 기능에 따라 좌우되리라는 가설 하에 이를 규명하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 순수승모판막폐쇄부전증으로 수술 받은 40명의 환자를 대상으로 하여 고전적 판막 치환술을 시행한 12례를 1군으로, 후엽을 보전한 18례를 2군으로 그리고 성형수술을 시행한 10례를 3군으로 나누어 수술전의 심에코 소견을 포함하여 입원시에 시행한 전신상태와 수술 후 4주 이내에 시행한 심에코도의 각종 지표를 시행하였다. 결과: 일반적인 환자의 상태변화로는 1군에 비해 2군, 3군에서는 더 나은 결과를 보였으나, 통계적인 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 뉴욕 심장협회의 분류에 따라서는 수술전보다 많은 호전이 보였으나 세군간의 유의한 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 심에코도에 따른 심기능을 비교한 바에 의하면 1군에서는 오히려 나빠졌으며 2군, 3군에서는 수술직후에는 술전에 비해 별 차이가 없으며 회복후에는 모든 지표에서 의미있는 호전을 발견할 수 있었으나, 구별분획에 있어 두 군간에는 수술전, 수술후, 회복후의 상호간의 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 결론: 심기능의 차이가 나므로 승모판막폐쇄부전증에 대한 수술로는 가능한한 판막 성형술이 좋고, 판막 성형술이 불가능한 변형이 많은 경우 판엽 일부를 보전이라도 하는 것이 좋다.

Adhesion between rubber compound and copper-film-coated steel plate (abbreviated hereafter as copper film plate) with different thicknesses of copper film was investigated. Two different methods were employed for the preparation of the copper film plates: a substitution plating of preelectroplated zinc with copper ion and a vacuum sputtering of copper on steel plate. Adhesion strength of the copper film plates with rubber compounds was largely dependent upon the thickness of copper film, regardless of their preparation methods. The copper film plates with thinner thickness than 75 nm showed high adhesion comparable to brass, while those with thicker copper film showed poor adhesion due to excessive growth of copper sulfide at adhesion interface.
