Objective of this study was to investigate the residual levels of mercury (Hg) in soil for "Top-rice" area and its uptake into rice plant for making sure food safety as compared to "Top-rice" & common rice produced from 2005 to 2006. Hg was analyzed with the direct mercury analyzer (DMA 80, Milestone, Italy), which implements the US/EPA method 7473. The average concentration of Hg in paddy soil was 0.031 mg/kg, which was below at 1/25-1/65 fold of the threshold levels (concern level 4 mg/kg, action level 10 mg/kg) for soil contamination designated by "The Soil Environment Conservation Law" in Korea. The maximum residue level (MRLs) for Hg residue in the polished rice is not designated in Korea. Therefore, Hg contents in the polished rice of "Top-rice" brand and common rice were compared to other country's criteria. Hg contents in the polished rice of "Top-rice" brand was 0.0018 mg/kg, which was lower at 1/10-1/30 fold than the MRLs, 0.02 mg/kg of China criteria and 0.05 mg/kg of Taiwan criteria, respectively. Hg were 0.02788, 0.00896, 0.00182, 0.00189, 0.00166, 0.00452 and 0.00145 mg/kg in soil, rice straw, unhulled rice, rice hulls, brown rice, rice bran, and polished rice produced in 2006 "Top-rice" area, respectively. For the ratio of Hg as compared to Hg contents in soil, there were 0.321 of rice straw ${\gg}$ 0.162 of rice bran ${\gg}$ 0.068 of rice hulls > 0.065 of unhulled rice > 0.060 of brown rice> 0.052 of polished rice. And, the slope of Hg uptakes was steeped as following order; rice straw ${\gg}$ rice bran ${\gg}$ rice hulls > unhulled rice > brown rice > polished rice. It means that the more slope steeped was the more uptakes. For the distribution of Hg uptaken, there was 83.8% into rice straw, and 16.2% into unhulled rice, 2.8% into rice hulls, 12.4% into brown rice, 3.5% into rice bran and 9.7% into polished rice. Consequently, it was appeared that the Hg contamination in the polished rice should not be worried in Korea.

In the field of healthcare, the conventional sterilization treatments have been replaced by irradiation methods which are in accordance with internationally well established quality standards. The quality control in radiation sterilization assures that the absorbed dose of the irradiated material is in agreement with its requirements and standards. The electron beam irradiation requires technical assessments of more process parameters than gamma irradiation does. Korea has witnessed wide uses of electron accelerators since early 2000 but there hasn't been research experiences relating to quality system in accordance with international standards. The new large scale e-beam irradiation system with the specification of 10 MeV, 8 kW was installed and operated in 2008 by Seoul Radiology Services Co. It consists of the electron accelerator, product handling system, safety, documentation and control subsystems into an integrated system to meet the requirement of the Good Manufacturing Practice such as process quality assurance and management of product tracking records. To implement the international standard such as EN ISO11137, it is necessary to understand the purposes aimed in the standard and carry out the tests following the procedures required. This study presented the specification of the e-beam facility and showed what its design requirements and features are. The test results on a variety of process parameters were presented and validated it they are within the required limits.

This study aimed to examine the early life history of Trident goby (Tridentiger brevispinis) by observing their egg development and juvenile fish morphology. The average size of mature eggs was 1.13~1.41 (1.30±0.07) mm (n=30), and 0.70~0.86 (0.79±0.04) mm (n=30) in long diameter and short diameter, respectively. The incubation period at 24±1℃ ranged from 167~228 h. The newly hatched larvae measured 2.31~2.78 (2.51±0.18) mm (n=30) in total length (TL), and their mouth and anus were not yet open. At 3 days after hatching, the preflexion larvae reached 2.84~3.10 (2.98±0.10) mm in TL, where in their yolk absorption was complete and their mouths began to open. At 19 days after hatching, the larvae reached the flexion stage, measuring 4.02~4.62 (4.36±0.19) mm in TL. The tip of their notochord was bent upward. At 30 days post-hatching, the larvae reached the postflexion stage, measuring between 5.04~6.36 (5.76±0.51) mm in TL, with the tip of the caudal fin bent at 45°. After 54 days, the larvae had reached the juvenile stage, measuring between 7.43~9.84 (8.48±0.90) mm in TL, and were differentiated by their constant number of fins (6 first dorsal, 12 second dorsal, 11 anal, and 10 ventral fins). This study found that T. brevispinis had larger fertilized eggs and a greater number of myotomes in hatching larva than similar species. Additionally, the distribution of melanophores in T. brevispinis was distinct from that in other similar species, making it easy to distinguish them morphologically.

제제설계란 제형의 설계 및 그에 따른 처방설정(formulation)을 의미하며 경험적인 제제방법 및 그 기술측면에서의 제제화는 주악 및 첨가물의 종류와 배합비율의 설정등 비교적 단순한 내용을 의미하지만 의약품은 실제적으로 인체에 적용되므로 치료설계상의 연구와 생물약제학적 검토에 의한 유효정과 안전성을 발휘할 수 있도록 설계가 되어야 한다. 또한 약물의 효력은 체내 특정부위에 특정농도의 약물분포가 필요하고, 일정시간 지속되는 것이 요구되므로 약용량도 중요하지만 약물투여 후의 흡수, 체내이행, 대사, 배설등의 상태를 파악하고 이에 미치는 부형제의 영향도 검토하여야 한다. 제제물리학적 측면에서 품질보증을 위하여 preformulation단계에서 주약의 물성검토, 첨가제의 사용량, interaction 및 혼합순서 등과 처방설정 단계에서 제제화에 사용되는 기계장치의 특성 및 능력, 제제화 후의 포장용기 및 포장상태에서의 안정성 등도 면밀히 검토하여야한다. 제제설계란 단순한 dosage form의 design만이 아니고 유효성이 높고, 부작용이 적은 제제를 합리적으로 만드는 기술과 정보의 종합관리로 scale up과정에서 원료, 기계장치, 제조방법, 작업자 등에 의한 품질변동 요인을 극소화하고, 공정의 초기단계에서 즉시 조정될 수 있는 종합관리 system이 필요하다.

SiCp/6061AI 복합재료의 파괴인성을 평가하기 위하여 정적파괴인성에 대해서는 복수시험편법을, 동적파괴인성시험에 대해서는 stop block법을 실시하였다. 주균열은 예비균열의 선단에서 시험편두께방향 전역에 걸쳐서 일시에 발생하는 것이 아니고, 균열발생의 초기단계에서 국부적으로 형성된 균열이 시험편두께방향으로의 균열의 확장을 완료한 후 주균열로 이행해 간다. 정적 및 동적시험에서 컴플라이언스변화율법에 의해 검출된 균열발생점은 균열확장의 완료점과 거의 일치하고 있기 때문에 본 재료의 파괴인성 결정에 유효하다. 본 재료에서 동적파괴인성치는 정적파괴인성치보다 크게 나타났다. 이것은 동적충격시 입자파괴에 의한 에너지의 흡수.분산효과와 균열진전경로의 큰 편향에 기인한다고 생각된다.
