  • Two methods, the numerical method of CPQRA and the manual method of IAEA, were used to estimate the effect distance from release and dispersion of toxic materials. The Gaussian plume model which has a weather stability class D with wind velocity of 5m/s was applied to calculate dispersion of toxic materials. Also, probit function were employed to evaluate the human fatality as a result of exposure to toxic gases. Furthermore, concentration of toxic materials corresponding to LC$_{50}$ for 30 min could be determined by setting Pr as 5.0 and solving the probit function. Calculations were conducted by employing chlorine and ammonia as toxic materials because they are not only most commonly used In chemical plants but also very harmful to humans. Calculated results by employing toxic materials indicated that the effect distance from the CPQRA method was between the minimum and maximum distance from the method proposed by IAEA.A.

  • The tungsten oxide wire-like nanostructure is fabricated by deposition and thermal oxidation of tungsten metal on porous single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The morphology and crystalline quality of materials are investigated by SEM, TEM, XRD and Raman analysis. The results prove that $WO_3$ wire-like nanostructure fabricated on SWNTs show highly porous structures. Exposure of the sensors to NH3 gas in the temperature range of 150~300$^{\circ}C$ resulted in the highest sensitivity at $250^{\circ}C$ with quite rapid response and recovery time. Response time as a function of test concentrations and NH3 gas sensing mechanism is reported and discussed.

  • Early growth, pigmentation, protein content, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity of red curly lettuces (Lactuca sativa L.) grown under different lighting conditions were investigated. Fluorescent lamps (control), blue, red, and blue plus red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used as light sources for 10 days. An equal proportion (1:1) of blue and red LEDs was used in the mixed radiation condition. Compared with the control, monochromic red or blue lighting increased fresh and dry weights of 'Ttuksum' and 'Jaju' lettuces. Anthocyanin synthesis was also significantly promoted by the mixed radiation of blue and red LEDs. The mixed radiation also increased the protein content and PAL enzyme activity of 'Ttuksum' leaves by about 200% compared to other treatments. Anthocyanin content was the highest in lettuces subjected to the mixture radiation of blue and red light treatment, while anthocyanin synthesis was inhibited by monochromic red light. The results of the present study indicate that growth and pigment synthesis in lettuces are significantly enhanced by exposure to mixed radiation from blue and red LEDs.

  • 본 연구에서는 한강유역에 위치한 축분퇴비공장의 작업환경 조사를 위한 현장 평가로서, 설문조사 및 악취물질 측정을 통해 근로자들의 작업환경 만족 수준과 이에 영향을 주는 요인들을 규명하였다. 연구결과, 축분퇴비공장 근로자들의 작업환경 만족도에 영향을 주는 요인들로 일반 건강수준, 악취, 작업량, 분진, 흡연으로 조사되었으며, 이 중 일반 건강수준, 악취, 작업량이 전체 작업환경 만족도의 61.3%를 대변하는 것으로 나타났다. 통계적 유의성을 나타낸 작업환경변수로는 일반 건강수준(p$<$0.01), 악취 작업량 분진(p$<$0.05) 등 이었다. 결론적으로 일반 건강수준이 높은 근로자일수록 작업환경 만족도가 높았으며, 작업량이 상대적으로 많고 악취와 분진에 쉽게 노출된 공장의 근로자일수록 작업환경 만족도가 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 흡연을 하는 근로자는 작업환경 만족도가 낮게 나타냈으나, 통계적 유의성은 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 한강유역 축분퇴비공장 근로자들의 작업환경 만족도를 제고시키기 위해서는 공정 중 악취와 분진농도의 발생을 저감시켜야 할 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 축분퇴비공장의 악취 및 분진농도의 발생을 최소화할 수 있는 처리공정 및 관리체계 정립이 시급하며, 이는 궁극적으로 축분퇴비공장 작업자의 건강 뿐만 아니라 주변 마을 정주민의 생활환경개선효과를 유발할 수 있다.

  • 본 연구는 TAA 복강투여로 유발된 간 손상 동물모델에서 인진호 열수 추출물의 간보호 효능을 평가하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. TAA로 인해 줄어드는 체중은 인진호 열수 추출물을 투여한 군에서 유의하게 증가하였으며, 간손상에 의해 증가한 혈중 암모니아 함량과 MPO 활성은 인진호 열수 추출물 투여군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 간 조직의 western blotting 결과, 인진호 열수 추출물 투여가 산화적 스트레스 관련 인자들의 발현을 유의적으로 감소시키고, 항산화 관련 인자들의 발현을 유의하게 증가시켰으며, MMPs의 발현은 감소시키고 TIMP-1의 발현은 증가시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 인진호 열수 추출물은 TAA로 유발된 간손상 동물모델에서 항산화 작용을 통해 산화적 스트레스를 억제하여 간보호 효과를 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

  • This study was investigated to evaluate the level of acute TAN (total ammonia nitrogen) and NO2--N concentrations at pH levels of 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 for 96 h in juvenile marbled eel Anguilla marmorata (total length 209.0±22.02 mm and body weight 13.0±5.01 g). The result of the present study showed that the survival rate of juvenile eel at TAN concentrations 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm at pH 6.0, pH 7.0, and pH 8.0 were 100, 100, 96.7, 74.4, 31.1, and 0%; 100, 82.2, 61.1, 36.7, 0, and 0%; and 98.9, 55.6, 8.9, 0, 0, and 0%, respectively. In addition, the survival rate of juvenile eel at NO2--N concentrations 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm at pH 6.0, pH 7.0, and pH 8.0 were 100, 43.3, 21.7, 0, 0, and 0%; 100, 76.7, 65.0, 43.3, 21.7, and 13.3%; and 100, 100, 100, 88.3, 78.3; and 58.3% respectively. The 96h-LC50 at pH 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 were 332, 235, and 167 mg/L for TAN, and 188, 296, and 711 mg/L for NO2--N, respectively. The acute toxicity of TAN to juvenile eel increased exponentially with increase in pH, whereas the acute toxicity of NO2--N to juvenile ell increased with low levels of pH and lengthening of exposure time to NO2--N.

  • Fermentation characteristics, nutrient retention and aerobic stability of barley silages prepared using 6 commercial inoculants were evaluated using 126 mini-silos (3-L) in a completely randomized design. Whole barley forage was chopped, wilted to 39% DM and treated with water (control, S) or one of six inoculants: A (containing Lactobacillus plantarum); B (L. plantarum and Enterococcus faecium); C (L. plantarum and Pediococcus cerevisiae); D (L. plantarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Propionibacterium freudenreichii, plus hydrolytic enzymes); E (Lactobacillus buchneri plus hydrolytic enzymes); F (L. buchneri and P. pentosaceus plus hydrolytic enzymes). Samples of treated forage were collected for analysis at the time of ensiling, and then 18 silos of each treatment were filled, capped and weighed. Triplicate silos were weighed and opened after 1, 3, 5, 7, 33, and 61 d. On d 61, $400{\pm}5g$ of material from each silo was placed in 1-L styrofoam containers, covered with cheesecloth and held at room temperature. Silage temperature was recorded hourly for 14 d via implanted thermocouple probes. Chemical composition of the forage at ensiling was consistent with previously reported values. At d 61, pH was lowest (p<0.01) in silage S. Ammonia-N was lower (p<0.05) in silage A than in silages S, B, E, or F. Compared to pre-ensiling values, water soluble carbohydrate concentrations were elevated in silages S, A, B, C and D, and decreased in E and F. Lactic acid concentrations were similar (p>0.10) across treatments. Acetic acid levels were highest (p<0.01) in silage E and lowest (p<0.01) in silage D. Recovery of DM was lower (p<0.01) in silage F than in silages S, A, B, C, or D. On d 61, yeasts were most numerous (p<0.01) in silage D, which was the only silage in which temperature rose more than $2^{\circ}C$ above ambient during aerobic exposure. Silage D also had the highest (p<0.01) pH and ADIN content after aerobic exposure. Lactic acid and WSC content of silage D decreased dramatically during the 14-d aerobic exposure period. Yeast counts (at d 14 of exposure) were lowest (p<0.01) in silages E and F. In general, the commercial inoculants did not appear to enhance the fermentation of barley silage to any appreciable extent in laboratory silos.

  • The behavior of hydrogen species on the surface of the catalyst during the Lewis acid transformation to form Brønsted acid sites over the spherical silica-supported WOx catalyst was investigated. To understand the structure-activity relationship of Lewis acid transformation and hydrogen bonding interactions, we explore the potential of using the in situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) with adsorbed ammonia and hydrogen exposure. From the results of in situ DRIFTS measurements, Lewis acid sites on surface catalysts were transformed into new Brønsted acid sites upon hydrogen exposure. The adsorbed NH3 on Lewis acid sites migrated to Brønsted acid sites forming NH4+. The results show that the dissociated H atoms present on the catalyst surface formed new Si-OH hydroxyl species - the new Brønsted acid site. Besides, the isolated Si-O-W species is the key towards H-bond and Si-OH formation. Additionally, the H atoms adsorbed surrounding the Si-O-W species of mono-oxo O=WO4 and di-oxo (O=)2WO2 species, where the Si-O-W species are the main species presented on the Inc-SSP catalysts than that of the IWI-SSP catalysts.
