망간황화물이 NO의 선택적 촉매 환원에 미치는 영향을 반응성 및 속도론적평가와 TPR(Temperature Programmed Reduction), TGA분석을 통하여 고찰하였다. 망간산화물은 $200^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 우수한 질소산화물 전환을 보였으나, 망간황화물의 경우 황화정도에 따라 질소산화물 전환은 고온으로 전이하였다. 또한 질소산화물 전환율도 황화정도에 따라 감소하였다. TPR 실험결과 망간산화물들은 $160^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서 환원이 시작되었으나 망간황화물은 $280^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 환원이 시작되었다. TPR 실험을 통한 환원 시작온도는 촉매의SCR 시작 온도와 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 망간황화물의 활성화에너지는 다른 촉매에 비해 낮게 나타났으나 pre-exponential 상수 크기가 다른 촉매에 비해 1/1000배 만큼 작아 NO에 대한 활성이 낮게 나타났다. 천연망간광석은 함유된 다양한 금속산화물의 영향으로 순수한 망간산화물보다 낮은 온도에서 재생되었다.

A series $[C_3Omim]$[X] of imidazolium cation-based ILs, with ether functional group on the alkyl side-chain have been synthesized and structure of the materials were confirmed by various techniques like $^1H$, $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy, MS-ESI, FTIR spectroscopy and EA. More specifically, the influence of changing the anion with same cation is carried out. The absorption capacity of $CO_2$ for ILs were evaluated at 30 and $50^{\circ}C$ at ambient pressure (0-1.6 bar). Ether functionalized ILs shows significantly high absorption capacity for $CO_2$. In general, the $CO_2$ absorption capacity of ILs increased with a rise in pressure and decreased when temperature was raised. The obtained results showed that absorption capacity reached about 0.9 mol $CO_2$ per mol of IL at $30^{\circ}C$. The most probable mechanism of interaction of $CO_2$ with ILs were investigated using FTIR spectroscopy, $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy and result shows that the absorption of $CO_2$ in ether functionalized ILs is a chemical process. The $CO_2$ absorption results and detailed study indicates the predominance of 1:1 mechanism, where the $CO_2$ reacts with one IL to form a carbamic acid. The $CO_2$ absorption capacity of ILs for different anions follows the trend: $BF_4$ < DCA < $PF_6$ < TfO < $Tf_2N$. Moreover, the as-synthesized ILs is selective, thermally stable, long life operational and can be recycled at a temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ or under vacuum and can be used repeatedly.

The C-terminus ends of the second putative transmembrane domains of both $M_1$ and $M_2$ muscarinic receptors contain a triplet of amino acid residues consisting of leucine (L), tyrosine (Y) and threonine (T). This triplet is repeated as LYT-TYL in $M_1$ receptors at the interface between the second transmembrane domain and the first extracellular loop. Interestingly, however, it is repeated in a transposedfashion (LYT-LYT) in the sequence of $M_2$ receptors. In our previous work, we investigated the possible significance of this unique sequence diversity for determining the distinct differential receptor function at the two receptor subtypes. However, we found mutation of the LYTTYL sequence of $M_1$ receptors to the corresponding $M_2$ receptor LYTLYT sequence demonstrated markedly enhanced the stimulation of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis by carbachol without a change in its coupling to increased cyclic AMP formation. In this work, thus, the enhanced stimulation of PI hydrolysis in the LYTLYT $M_1$ receptor mutant was further investigated. The stimulation of PI hydrolysis by carbachol was enhanced in the mutant $M_1$ receptor, and this change was not due to alterations in the rate of receptor desensitization or sequestration. The observed larger response to carbachol at mutant $M_1$ receptors was also not due to an artifact resulting from selection of CHO cells which express higher levels of G-proteins or phospholipase C. Our data suggest that although the LYTTYL sequence in $M_1$ muscarinic receptors is not involved in determining receptor pharmacology, mutation of the sequence enhanced the coupling of $M_1$ receptors to the stimulation of phospholipase C.

Background: To assess the carbon sequestration capacity and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of Quercus glauca forests, we analyzed the net primary productivity (NPP), carbon storage, and carbon emission of soil in a Q. glauca forest on Jeju Island (South Korea) from 2016 to 2018. Results: The average carbon stock in the above- and below-ground plant biomass was 223.7 Mg C ha^-1, while the average amount of organic carbon fixed by photosynthesis was 9.8 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1, and the average NPP was 9.6 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1. Stems and branches contributed to the majority of the above- and below-ground standing biomass and NPP. The average heterotrophic carbon emission from the soil was 8.7 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1, while the average NEP was 1.1 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1. Although the carbon stock, carbon absorption, and soil respiration values were higher than those reported in other oak forests in the world, the NEP was similar or lower. Conclusions: These results indicator that Q. glauca forests perform the role of a large carbon sink through the CO₂ absorption in the plants in terms of carbon balance. And it is judged to be helpful as data for assessment of carbon storage and flux in the forests and mitigation of elevated CO₂ in the atmosphere.

This study aimed to determine the growth and carbon storage of planted Haloxylon aphyllum in the Aralkum Desert in Kazakhstan. Six sites afforested in 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2017 were selected. The root collar diameter(cm) and height(m) were measured for all H. aphyllum in 30 m×44 m plots. Biomass accumulation (g m^-2) and carbon storage(C g m^-2) were calculated using allometric equations and the carbon concentration data of Haloxylon species. The diameters varied from 2.5 cm to 4.3 cm and the height varied from 106.2 cm to 223.7 cm. The growth of H. aphyllum was not linearly related to the afforestation year or soil properties. Tree growth might have been influenced by variations in the microclimate, such as temperature, precipitation, and dust storms. The mean total biomass accumulation was 20.57g m^-2 and ranged from 2.42 g m^-2 to 64.53 g m^-2. The mean carbon storage was 9.70C g m^-2 and ranged from 1.12 C g m^-2 to 30.61 C g m^-2. These biomass and carbon storage estimates were smaller than those reported for other Central Asian deserts, but afforestation enabled the generation of vegetative cover and consequently, carbon sequestration in the manmade Aralkum Desert.

The objective of this research was to assess the amount of carbon stock of coarse woody debris (CWD) in Bombo-Lumene Reserve. Data on lying CWD was collected on 35 circular sampling plots using Line Intersect Sampling (LIS) method. A total of 230 samples CWD (${\geq}10cm$ diameter) were inventoried. The mean carbon stocks of CWD was $29.48Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, ranging from 4.32 to $73.54Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$. The CWD carbon stocks displayed a wide range of variation in decay states. The allocation of CWD among the decay class of all the CWD samples reveals that the most important classes were class 1 and class 3 with 323.66 and $321.96Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, followed by class 4 with 264.56 and the last one was class 2 with $121.72Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$. The results suggested that the dead wood component is important in carbon sequestration and should be taken into consideration for quantification of carbon stocks not only in Bombo-Lumene Reserve, but in all forest ecosystems in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

국내 이산화탄소 지중저장 후보지인 포항분지의 심부 대수층 구성하고 있는 사암과 이암을 대상으로 초임계$CO_2$ 반응에 의한 암석의 지화학적/광물학적 풍화를 규명하는 실험을 실시하였다. 고압셀 장치를 사용하여 실험실 규모의 $CO_2$ 지중저장 조건을 모사하였으며, 시추한 포항분지 암석이 미고결 상태임을 감안하여 암석시료는 입자상으로 분쇄하여 시료 30 g과 지하수 100 ml를 고압셀(200 ml 용량)에 넣고 100 bar, $50^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 총 60일 동안 반응시켜, 초임계$CO_2$ 주입 시 포항분지 심부 사암층과 이암층 내에서 발생하는 초임계$CO_2$-암석-지하수반응을 재현하였다. 반응 후 10일, 30일, 60일 간격으로 시료를 회수하여 암석의 지화학적 풍화 정도를 정량화하기 위한 XRD(X-Ray Diffractometer), BET(Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) 분석을 실시하였고, 암석 슬랩($15mm{\times}40mm{\times}5mm$)을 같은 지중 조건에서 반응시켜 반응시간에 따른 지하수시료의 용존 이온 농도 변화를 ICP/OES로 분석하였다. XRD 분석결과, 초임계$CO_2$-암석-지하수반응에 의해 사암과 이암을 구성하는 광물 중 사장석과 정장석(기질의 장석류 포함)의 비율이 가장 크게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 사암의 경우 점토광물인 일라이트, 스멕타이트, 황철석 비율이 증가하였으며, 이암의 경우 일라이트, 카오리나이트, 칼슘을 함유한 불소인회석 비율이 증가하였다. 반응시간에 따른 지하수 이온 농도 분석결과, 사암과 이암에서 방해석과 장석류의 용해가 가장 활발히 일어나 지하수 내 $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$농도가 증가하였다. $K^+$, $Si^{4+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ 같은 이온들의 농도는 반응시간 동안 증가와 감소를 반복하였는데, 이는 암석의 용해와 2차 광물의 침전이 함께 일어나고 있음을 의미한다. 사암과 이암 입자의 비표면적은 반응 60일 후까지 각각 $27.3m^2/g$과 $19.6m^2/g$에서 $28.6m^2/g$과 $26.6m^2/g$으로 증가하였으며, 미세공극의 평균 크기는 각각 $72.6{\AA}$, $96.7{\AA}$에서 $68.4{\AA}$과 $75.8{\AA}$으로 지속적으로 감소하여, 초임계$CO_2$-암석-지하수반응에 의해 입자 표면이 용해되면서 미세 공극들이 추가로 형성되어 비표면적이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 포항분지 사암에 $CO_2$를 지중 주입하는 경우, 암석의 용해 및 침전반응에 의한 대상암석의 물성변화가 지중저장의 효율성과 안정성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 입증하였다.

The C-terminus ends of the second putative transmembrane domains of both m1 and m2 muscarinic receptors contain a triplet of amino acid residues consisting of leucine (L), tyrosine (Y) and threonine (T), This triplet is repeated as LYT-LYT in m2 receptors at the interface between the second transmembrane domain and the first extracellular loop. Interestingly, however, it is repeated in a transposed fashion (LYT-TYL) in the sequence of m1 receptors. In this work we employed site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the possible significance of this unique sequence diversity for determining the distinct differential drug-receptor interaction and cellular function at m1 muscarinic receptor. Mutation of the LYTTYL sequence of m1 receptors to the corresponding m2 receptor LYTLYT sequence, however, did not result in a significant change in the binding affinity of the agonist carbachol or in the affinity of the majority of a series of receptor antagonists which are able to discriminate between wild-type m1 and m2 receptors. Surprisingly, the LYTLYT ml receptor mutant demonstrated markedly enhanced coupling to activation of phospholipase C without a change in its coupling to increased cyclic AMP formation. There was also an enhanced receptor sensitivity in transducing elevation of intracellular Ca$\^$2+/. These changes were not due to alterations in the rate of receptor. desensitization or sequestration, On the other hand, the reverse LYTLYT-LYTTYL mutation in the m2 receptor did not alter its coupling to inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but slightly enhanced its coupling to stimulation of PI hydrolysis, Our data suggest that the LYTTYL/LYTLYT sequence difference between ml and n12 muscarinic receptors is not involved in determining receptor pharmacology. On the other hand, while these differences might play a role in the modulation of muscarinic receptor coupling to PI hydrolysis, they are not important for specifying coupling of various subtypes of muscarinic receptors to different cellular signaling pathways.

If $CO_2$ stored for geological sequestration escapes from deep formations and is introduced to shallow aquifers, it dissolves into groundwater, creates acidic environments, and enhance mineral dissolution from rocks and soils. Among these minerals, dissolution and spread of hazardous trace metals can cause environmental problems with detrimental impacts on groundwater quality. This study aims to investigate geochemical effects of $CO_2$ in groundwater on dissolution of galena, the main mineral controlling the mobility of lead. A series of batch experiments are performed with granulated galena in $CO_2$ solutions under various experimental conditions for $CO_2$ concentration and reaction temperature. Results show that dissolution of galena is significantly enhanced under acidic environments so that both of equilibrium concentrations and dissolution rates of lead increase. For thermodynamic analysis on galena dissolution, the apparent rate constants and the activation energy for galena dissolution are calculated by applying rate law to experimental results. The apparent rate constants are $6.71{\times}10^{-8}mol/l{\cdot}sec$ at $15^{\circ}C$, $1.77{\times}10^{-7}mol/l{\cdot}sec$ at $25^{\circ}C$, $3.97{\times}10^{-7}mol/l{\cdot}sec$ at $35^{\circ}C$ and the activation energy is 63.68 kJ/mol. The galena dissolution is suggested to be a chemically controlled surface reaction, and the rate determining step is the dissociation of Pb-S bond of surface complex.
