고분자이면서 유전체인 Poly-Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene (PTFE) 튜브에 AC형 고전압을 인가하여 유전체 장벽 방전 (dielectric barrier discharge, DBD)를 유도하고, 발생된 마이크로 플라즈마에 의한 PTFE 튜브 내벽의 표면 개질에 관한 연구이다. 가스인입과 진공배기가 가능한 장치에 PTFE 튜브를 연결하고, 튜브내부를 진공상태를 유지하면서 반응가스를 이용하여 튜브 내벽을 표면개질 하였다. 반응가스를 아르곤, 수소, 아세틸렌, 산소, 질소를 반응 단계에 맞게 혼입하여 마이크로 플라즈마를 발생시켜 플라즈마에 의한 표면변화를 관찰하였다. 표면은 반응성 가스 플라즈마에 의해 물리 화학적 반응이 일어나 고분자 표면의 반응성 활성화를 통한 표면개질의 방식으로 진행되었다. 표면 개질된 튜브 내벽 표면에 대해 XPS, FT-IR, SEM, 접촉각 측정과 분석 실시함으로써 표면변화를 관찰하였다.

산업혁명 이후 계속된 산업화로 이산화탄소, 메탄, 이산화질소와 같은 온실가스의 대기 중 농도가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 세계 각국은 화석연료 고갈 및 기후변화에 대처하기 위해 대체연료에 대한 연구가 활성화되고 있는데 특히, 폐유 재생과 폐기물의 발생 및 처리 문제를 극복하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 시험은 폐유를 정제한 정제연료유와 유화정제연료유의 물성을 석유제품인 중유와 비교 분석하였다. 유화정제연료유는 폐유 중 중금속, 회분 및 슬러지 등을 제거한 후 유화제 등을 넣어 생산된 제품으로 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문은 이에 대한 전반적인 내용을 언급하였다.

TiN은 기상반응법으로 티타늄판과 질소가스의 질화반응에 의해 제조되었다. $\delta$-TiN은 약 1100-140$0^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서만 형성되는데 반해, 110$0^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서는 $\varepsilon$-TiN 상도 관찰할 수 있었다. $\delta$-TiN의 미소정도값은 3000$\pm$300kg/m$m^2$였고, 격자상수는 0.4226$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 가스의 유동속도가 0.7$\ell$/min의 속도이하에서는 확산과정에 의해 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 활성화에너지가 110$0^{\circ}C$이상에서는 67.6Kcal/mol이었고 110$0^{\circ}C$이상에서는 13.9Kcal/mol이었던 것으로 보아 반응메커니즘이 110$0^{\circ}C$를 기점으로 변한다는 것을 명백히 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고 증착속도가 확산과정에 의해 지배되는 영역에서 TiN의 증착속도는 전체 유량의 제곱근에 비례하였다.

원자력용 316LN 스테인레스강의 입계탄화물 석출거동에 미치는 질소 및 Ti, B의 미량원소 영향을 시차열분석기(DSC)와 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, 이들 결과와 예민화 특성과의 관계성을 분석하였다. Ti과 B의 첨가는 316LN 강의 탄화물 석출온도를 높이며, 탄화물 석출에 필요한 활성화에너지 값은 미첨가강에 비해 높았다. TEM/EDX 분석결과, 예민화된 316 LN 강은 M$_{23}$C$_{6}$ 탄화물이 입계에 석출되며 입계에서 Cr 고같층이 관찰되었다. 반면 Ti 및 B 첨가강은 7$50^{\circ}C$, 20시간 열처리 조건에서도 거의 입계석출물이 존재하지 않았으며 일부 소량 존재하는 입계 석출물은 EDX 분석결과 Mo-rich 상인 Laves 상으로 분석되었다. DSC와 TEM 분석 결과는 Oxalic 시험 및 Modified Strauss 시험에 의한 입계 부시시험결과와 잘 일치하였고, Ti 및 B의 첨가는 Cr의 확산을 저지시켜 입계탄화물의 석출 및 성장을 저지하는 역할을 하며, 316LN 강의 예민화 특성을 양호하게 하였다.

CO$_{2}$gas중에서 산화된 활성탄소섬유를 77K에서 질소흡착에 의해 흡착등온곡선을 구하였다. 미세공부피와 외부표면적은 t-법으로 구하였으며, 평균기공크기와 기공분포는 Dubinin-Astakhov법으로 구하여 기공발당과정을 고찰하였다. 산화반응 초기(약 40% burn-off까지)에 섬유내부에 발달하는 미세공은 burn-off가 40%를 넘으면 서서히 큰 미세공으로 성장하며, burn-off가 약 60%이상되면 미세기공은 확대 또는 합체되어 점차 중기공으로 성장하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 고온산화반응으로 발달한 기공은 저온에서 생성된 기공보다 크다.

To predict quality change of Kochujang distributed in the market, physicochemical properties were observed during storage at $13^{\circ}C$, $27^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$ for 240 days. Moisture, crude protein and capsaicin contents were nearly constant for storage at the selected temperatures. Amino nitrogen, value of surface color and pH were decreased during storage while ammonia nitrogen and titratable acidity were increased. Storage temperature affected quality change significantly as higher temperature showed clear increase or decrease phenomena of above factors. Number of total cell count was not changed significantly, and fungi was not detected. From the correlation coefficient among physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation scores, the highest correlation was obtained in amino nitrogen content and sensory score. Degradation of amino nitrogen was a first order reaction, and the $Q_{10}$ value calculated from reaction constant was 2.98. Also, activation energy for the destruction of amino nitrogen calculated from Arrhenius equation was 15.34 Kcal/mole.

The essential factor of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an acute lung injury accompanied commonly by sepsis syndrome is accumulation of neutrophils in lung tissue. The study attempted to confirm whether a lung injury would be decreased with the anti-inflammatory effect of germanium by the treated germanium prior to the development of ARDS and whether nitric oxide influence in suppressing a lung injury. Test groups were divided in the following structure for experiment; CON that has been administered with sodium chloride to airway, LPS administered with endotoxin for 5 hours in the same amount and 5 hours of endotoxin administered Ge+LPS following 1 hours of pre-treated germanium. The result of a test using experimental animals, infilteration of neutrophils (p<0.001) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was significantly decreased, the structure of lung tissue was preserved relatively well, and much neutrophils with distinct positive were observed on tunel staining which showed increase of apoptotic neutrophils in the pre-treated germanium group compare to the endotoxin administrated group. In observation of ultrastructural changes of cell in BALF, phagocytic alveolar macrophage was increased in alveolar space, the nucleus of most engulfed neutrophils were condensed, and some apoptosis neutrophils appears to be DNA fragmentation and effacement of cellular organelles were found in intercellular matrix in the pre-treated germanium group. However, the nitric oxide showed increase in all the groups excluding CON, and the nitric oxide effect such as degranulation diminishing of mast cells and apoptosis increase of neutrophils in the pre-treated group only. The situation appears that there was change in internal environment of the experimental animal by the pre-treated germanium before the nitric oxide is produced and the anti-inflammatory effect activated the pre-processed germanium by nitric oxide which activated following the change. Therefore, the nitric oxide created from macrophage in accordance with the pre-treated germanium appears to influence in alleviating a lung injury. Accordingly, acute lung injury is alleviated by the anti-inflammatory effect of germanium such as inhibition of neutrophils migration, induction of neutrophil apoptosis and increase of phagocytic function of phagocyte, and the nitric oxide produced from activated macrophage by germanium would influence in suppressing a lung injury.

The Flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMOs) (EC1.14.13.8) are NADPH-dependent flavoenzymes that catalyze oxidation of soft nucleophilic heteroatom centers in a range of structurally diverse compounds, including foods, drugs, pesticides, and other xenobiotics. In humans, FMO3 is quantitatively a major human liver monooxygenase. In the present study, the baculovirus expression vector system was used to overexpress human FMO3 in insect cells for catalytic studies. Six commercially available organic selenium compounds were examined for substrate activity with microsomes isolated from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf)9 cells infected with human FMO3 recombinant baculovirus. While none of the aromatic heterocyclic selenides tested showed detectable activity, all dialkyl- and alkylaryl-selenides free from ionic groups catalyzed the NADPH- and O$_2$-dependent oxidation. Kinetic constants demonstrate that (based on Km) dialkyl-and alkylaryl- selenides are better substrates for human FMO3 than analogous nitrogen or sulfur compounds .

The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of unburned carbon (UBC) and NOx emissions for pulverized coal when air staging combustion is applied. A two-staged drop tube furnace capable of applying air staging combustion was designed and installed. The combustion of sub-bituminous (Tanito) has been investigated. UBC and the NOx concentration were measured under various temperatures and stoichiometric ratios in unstaged and staged combustion. As a result, UBC decreased and the NOx concentration increased with an increase in stoichiometric ratio and temperature. In particular, the NOx reduction mechanism was activated when the temperature in the fuel rich zone increased. Both UBC and the NOx concentration decreased as the temperature increased in the fuel rich zone. A high NOx reduction effect was obtained, compared to the UBC increase, when the air staging technique was applied.

To evaluate the antioxidant activity of hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions obtained from Agastache rugosa extract, we measured the total polyphenol levels, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and reducing power. The ethyl acetate fraction of A. rugosa (AREA) displayed high phenolic levels, potent DPPH radical scavenging effect, and powerful reducing power. In addition, we examined the ability of AREA to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 microglia. AREA suppressed NO production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and downregulated interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA level in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia. Furthermore, we detected rosmarinic acid in AREA by HPLC, which suggested that rosmarinic acid could be one of the bioactive materials responsible for the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of AREA. These results suggested that AREA may be a good source of functional foods with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
