Seventeen exploratory wells have been drilled in the Block VI-1 of offshore Korea, which is located in the southern part or the Ulleung Basin. Gas show has been recognized from most of the wells, and gas and condensate have been accompanied in some wells. Commercial discovery of gas, accompanied by condensate, has been made from Gorae V well. The reservoir gases or the Dolgorae III, Gorae I, and Gorae V wells in the Ulleung Basin mainly consists of hydrocarbon gases (>93%). These gases are thermogenic wet gases which contain more than 96% of the methane and result from the cracking of petroleum or kerogen. Based on the chemistry and composition of the gases and stable isotope data, they seem to be generated from different source rocks. The condensates from the Gorae I and V wells are mostly generated from terrestrial organic matter. Lacustrine organic matter may not play an important role for the generation of these condensates. The condensates from the Gorae V wells consist predominantly of terrestrial organic matter but with minor subsidiary input from marine organic matter. The condensates from Gorse I and V wells may be generated from different source rocks. The thermal maturity level of the condensates from the Gorae V well ranges from early to middle oil generation zone and condensate from Gorae I reaches middle oil window. Correlation or the thermal maturation level of the condensates and organic matter in the sediments reveals that a depth of the generation of liquid hydrocarbons can be inferred to 3,000 m and 3,900 m for the Gorae V and I wells, respectively. Gorae V well, however, did not reach the target depth and the geochemical data of the Gorae I well were obscured due to the severe sediment caving in.

Responses of real-time control parameters, such as ORP, DO and pH, to the conditions of biological animal wastewater treatment process were examined to evaluate the stability of real-time control using each parameter. Also an optimum index for supplemental carbon source addition based on NOx-N level was determined under a consideration of denitrification rate by endogenous respiration of microorganism and residual organic matter in liquor. Experiment was performed with lab-scale sequencing batch reactor(SBR) and working volume of the process was 45L. The distinctive nitrogen break point(NBP) on ORP-and DO-time profiles, which mean the termination of nitrification, started disappearing with the maintenance of low NH4-N loading rate. Also the NBP on ORP-and DO-time profiles was no longer observed when high NOx-N was loaded into the reactor, and the sensitivity of ORP became dull with the increase of NOx-N level. However, the distinctive NBP was constantly occurred on pH(mV)-time profile, maintaining unique profile patterns. This stable occurrence of NBP on pH(mV)-time profile was lasted even at very high NOx-N:NH4-N ratio(over 80:1) in reactor, and the specific point could be easily detected by tracking moving slope change(MSC) of the curve. Revelation of NBP on pH(mV)-time profile and recognition of the realtime control point using MSC were stable at a condition of over 300mg/L NOx-N level in reactor. The occurrence of distinctive NBP was persistent on pH(mV)-time profile even at a level of 10,000mg/L STOC(soluble total organic carbon) and the recognition of NBP was feasible by tracing MSC, but that point on ORP and DO-time profiles began to disappear with the increase of STOC level in reactor. The denitrfication rate by endogenous respiration and residual organic matter was about 0.4mg/L.hr., and it was found that 0.83 would be accepted as an index for supplemental carbon source addition when 0.1 of safety factor was applied.

Previous biochemical studies indicate that $(Na^++K^+)-ATPase$ is composed of two subunits, ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$, in a form of ${\alpha}_2{\beta}_2$ with a molecular weight of approximately 300,000 daltons. There is also suggestive evidence that the $Na^+$, $K^+$ pump in human erythrocytes occurs in a complex with some glycolytic enzymes. We assessed here in situ assembly size of the $(Na^++K^+)-ATPase$ of human erythrocytes by applying classical target theory to radiation inactivation data of the ouabain-sensitive sodium flux and ATP hydrolysis of intact cells and ghosts. Cells(in the presence of cryoprotective agent) and ghosts were irradiated at $-45^{\circ}C$ to $-50^{\circ}C$ with an increasing dose of a 1.5 MeV electron beam, and after thawing, the pump and/or enzyme activities were assayed. Each activity measured was decreased as a simple exponential function of radiation dose, from which a radiation sensitive volume (target size) was calculated. When intact cells were used, the target size of both $(Na^++K^+)-ATPase$ and $Na^+$, $K^+$ pump was found to be approximately 600,000 daltons. This target size of the ATPase was reduced to approximately 325,000 daltons if the cells were pretreated with strophanthidin. When ghosts were used, the target size of the ATPase was again approximately 325,000 daltons. Our target size measurement suggests that, in intact cells, the $(Na^++K^+)-ATPase/Na^+,K^+$ pump exists either as a dimer of $(\alpha\beta)_2$ which is a functional unit or as a monomer of $(\alpha\beta)_2$ but in tight complex with other enzyme or enzymes. The results also suggest that this dimeric or heterocomplex association is dissociated during ghost preparation and strophanthidin treatment.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the biologically adverse effect of increased carbon dioxide in seawater on marine bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. We measured the bioluminescence and cell density at every 6 hours for 24 hours of the whole incubation period after exposing test microbes to a range of $CO_2$ concentration such as 380(Control), 1,000, 3,000, 10,000 and 30,000 ppm, respectively. Significant effect on relative luminescence(RLU) of V. fischeri was observed in treatments with $CO_2$ concentration higher than 3,000 ppm at t=12 h. However, the difference of RLU among treatments significantly decreased with the incubation time until t=24 h. Similar trend was observed for the variation of cell density, which was measured as optical density using spectrophotometer. The results showed that a significant relationship between $CO_2$ concentration and bioluminescence of test microbes was observed for the mean time. However, the inhibition of relative bioluminescence and also cell density could be recovered at the concentration levels higher than 3,000 ppm. The dissolved $CO_2$ can be absorbed directly by cell and it can decrease the intracellular pH. Our results implied that microbes might be adversely affected at the initial growing phase by increased $CO_2$. However, they could adapt by increasing ion transport including bicarbonate and then could make their pH back to normal level. Results of this study could be supported to understand the possible influence on marine bacteria by atmospheric increase of $CO_2$ in near future and also by released $CO_2$ during the marine $CO_2$ sequestration activity.

그래핀은 높은 전기 전도도와 열전도도, 기계적 강도를 가지고 있고 동시에 높은 전자이동도($200,000cm^2{\cdot}V{\cdot}^1{\cdot}s{\cdot}^1$) 특성을 갖는 물질로써 차세대 소재로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 그래핀을 소자에 응용하기 위해서는 전사공정과 lithography 공정 과정에서 발생되는 PMMA(Poly methyl methacrylate) residue를 완벽하게 제거해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 특히, lithography 공정 중 완벽하게 PMMA residue 가 제거되지 않고 잔류해 있을 경우에 소자의 life time, performance에 악영향을 준다는 보고가 있다. 이와같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 화학적 cleaning, 열처리를 통한 cleaning, 전류 인가에 의한 cleaning과 같은 방법들을 이용하여 그래핀의 PMMA residue를 제거하는 공정들이 보고되고 있지만, 화학적 cleaning 방법의 경우 chloroform 이라는 독성물질 사용으로 인해 산업적으로 응용이 어렵고, 열처리 방법은 전극 등의 금속이 $200^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 온도에서 장시간 노출될 경우 쉽게 손상을 입으며, 전류 인가에 의한 cleaning 방법은 국부적으로만 효과를 볼 수 있기 때문에 lithography 공정 후 PMMA residue를 효과적으로 제거하기에는 한계를 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ar을 이용하는 Ion beam 시스템을 통해 beam energy를 제어함으로써 PMMA residue를 효과적으로 제거하는 연구를 진행하였다. 최적화된 플라즈마 발생 조건을 찾기 위해 QMS(Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer)를 이용하여 입사하는 ion energy와 flux 양을 컨트롤 하였고, 250 W에서 최적화된 ion energy distribution 영역이 존재한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 25 Gauss 정도의 electro-magnetic field를 이용하여 Ar의 ion energy를 10 eV 이하로 낮추어 damage를 최소화함으로써 효과적으로 그래핀을 cleaning 할 수 있었다. Cleaning과정에서 ion bombardment에 의해 발생한 damage는 $250^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 annealing 공정을 거치면서 회복되는 것을 Raman spectroscopy의 D peak ($1335cm{\cdot}^1$) / G peak ($1572cm{\cdot}^1$) ratio 로 확인할 수 있었고, PMMA residue의 cleaning 여부는 G peak ($1580cm{\cdot}^1$)의 blue shift와 2D peak ($2670cm{\cdot}^1$)의 red shift를 통해 확인하였다. 그리고 AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy)을 이용하여 cleaning 공정과정에서 RMS roughness가 4.99 nm에서 2.01 nm로 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다. 마지막으로, PMMA residue의 cleaning 정도를 정량적으로 분석하기 위해 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 sp2 C-C bonding이 74.96%에서 87.66%로 증가함을 확인을 할 수 있었다.

Among the currently recognized pathogenic vibrios, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae non O1 are the most serious bacteria from the point of view of sea food hygiene in Korea. In this paper, the authors compared the hemolytic activities of the crude hemolysin produced by V. vulnificus and V. cholerae non O1 isolated from shellfish collected in Chungmoo, Korea. The authors also attempted to improve the purification method of V. vulnificus hemolysin(VVH) and tried to make antiserum with the purified hemolysin. VVH was produced in abundance in heart infusion broth containing $2\%$ NaCl in a shaking cultivation process(140rpm) at $37^{\circ}C$ for 15 hours. While hemolysin production patterns of V. cholerae non O1 were quite different by the strain during the culture times compared with the V. vulnificus. Hemolytic activity of the VVH on sheep erythrocytes was stronger than those of rabbit, but hemolytic activities of the hemolysin produced by V. cholerae non O1 on rabbit erythrocytes were as much as twice as strong as on those of sheep and horse. VVH was purified by two steps of hydrophobic column chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose HP with Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography(FPLC). Purification fold and yield of VVH was much improved by changing the elution buffer's pH from 6.0 to 9.8 and adding $1\%$ CHAPS(a zwitter ionic detergent) and $50\%$ ethylene glycol to the 10mM glycine buffer during the repeated hydrophobic column chromatography. Homogeneity of the purified hemolysin was shown by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. According to the five times repeated purification results, the specific activity was increased 27500 times and the yield was improved by $23.4\%$ on average. About $250{\mu}g$ of purified hemolysin was harvested from the 2400ml of culture supernatant of V. vulnificus. Molecular weight of VVH was estimated to be 50KDa by the SDS-PAGE and the neutralization scores of the obtained antiserum acting against VVH were $2000{\sim}8500$.

The ionic association constant(K) of 2,4,6, N-tetramethyl pyridinium iodide (TeMPI) in 95 volume percentage ethanol-water mixture were determined by a modified UV and conductance method at $25^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ under 1 to 2,000 bars. The K values increase with increasing pressure and have maximum value at $40^{\circ}C$. The partial molar volume hange (${\Delta}V$) has relatively small negative value and the absolute values of ${\Delta}$ are minimum at $40^{\circ}C$. The ion size parameter(a) of TeMPI have maximum value at $40^{\circ}C$. {\Delta}H^{\circ}$ values are zero, positive and negative at 40^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ respectively. Other thermodynamic parameters such as the changes of standard entropy ({\Delta}S^{\circ}$) and free energy {\Delta}G^{\circ}$ were evaluated. From these experimental results, we came to conclusion that TeMPI is stabilized by the elevation of pressure and that of temperature below $40^{\circ}C$ but weakly dimerized at $40^{\circ}C$ because of the intermolecular hydrophobic interaction of eight methyl groups of two molecules. And it thermally decomposed above $50^{\circ}C$.

This study examined the acaricidal activity of a new compound, K16776 against honeybee mite, Varroa destructor which is ecto-parasite of Apis mellifera. Acaricidal activity was performed using six acaricides, two Chinese commercial acaricides and one newly synthesized K16776 against V. destructor in the small container and in the bee hive. K16776 and amitraz exhibited 100% acaricidal activity against V. destructor without insecticidal toxicity to A. mellifera in the small container. The other acaricide was not activity. Applied to the bee hives, K16776 showed acaricidal activity as 98.7% ($250{\times}$) and 88.6% ($500{\times}$) and amitraz showed as 100% ($500{\times}$) and 90% ($1,000{\times}$), respectively. Made in China, Cao Suan Sha Man Pian and Wangs showed acaricidal activity as 56.9% and 66.7%, respectively. The result indicates that K16776 can be potentially useful control agent against honeybee mite, V. destructor.

여러 니켈합금 중 인코넬 600은 원전 가압경수로(PWR)의 튜브 재료로 널리 사용되는 재료이다. 스테인리스강과 비교하여 우수한 내식성과 기계적 특성으로 인해 화학설비, 발전설비, 그리고 해양설비 등과 같은 여러 산업분야에서도 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 가압경수로용 증기 발생기의 튜브 재료와 같은 특수 환경에서 예민화에 따른 입계부식 및 입계응력부식 등의 문제가 흔히 보고되고 있다. 이러한 내구성 문제는 설비 및 장비의 수명, 내구성 그리고 안정성 등의 치명적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서 용접, 열처리, 그리고 가공과정에서 발생하는 Inconel 600의 예민화 및 입계부식에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 100시간 이상 장시간 열화된 시편에 대한 예민화 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 장시간 열화된 Inconel 600의 예민화를 평가하기 위해 최대 1,000시간까지 열화를 실시하였으며, 이에 대한 평가방법으로 Double-Loop Electrochemical Potentiokinetic Reactivation(DL-EPR) 시험법을 적용하였다. 본 실험에서 사용된 인코넬 600의 화학성분(wt, %)은 0.01 C, 0.05 Si, 0.14 Mn, 15.3 Cr, 0.5 Cu, 0.015 S, 그리고 나머지는 Ni 이다. 예민화 평가를 위한 등온 열화는 전기열처리로를 이용하여, $550^{\circ}C$와 $650^{\circ}C$에서 최대 1000시간까지 실시하였다. 열화에 따른 미세조직 변화는 scanning electron microscope와 energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy를 이용하여 실시하였다. DL-EPR 실험은 $25^{\circ}C$의 0.1M $H_2SO_4$ + 0.001M KSCN(potasium thiocyanate) 수용액 하에서 실시하였으며, 분극은 OCP로부터 600 mV(SSE vs.)까지 1.67mV/s 주사속도로 forward scan을 실시 후, 동일한 속도로 OCP까지 reverse scan을 실시하였다. Degree Of Sensitization(DOS)값은 anodic scan peak($I_a$) 값과 reverse scan peak($I_r$) 값의 비로 산출하였다. $$i.e.\;DOS=I_r/I_a{\times}100$$. 그 결과, 온도 변수에 따른 Inconel 600강의 예민화 거동은 서로 상이한 경향을 나타내었다. $550^{\circ}C$의 경우, 열화가 진행됨에 따라 DOS값은 급격하게 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 반면, $650^{\circ}C$에서는 일정시간 이후부터 Cr 확산 현상에 의한 탈 예민화 현상이 관찰되었다.
