벤젠에 대한 흡착실험이 활성탄과 제올라이트 13X 흡착제에 대하여 수행되었다. 단일 흡착탑과 두 흡착제로 충진된 이중 흡착탑에서 동적흡착특성이 조사되었다. 원료의 유량은 파과시간에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 활성탄에 대한 벤젠의 비흡착량이 제올라이트 13X보다 큰 반면, 제올라이트 13X의 밀도가 더 크게 때문에 흡착탑 부피당 흡착량은 제올라이트 13X가 더 컸다. 이중흡착제로 충진된 흡착탑에 대한 동적실험에서 물질전달영역의 길이가 원료의 흐름방향에 따라 달라졌다. 원료 주입구에 활성탄이 충진되고 탑의 출구에 제올라이트 13X가 충진될 때 파과시간은 더 길고 파과곡선은 더 날카롭게 얻어졌다. 또한 두 흡착제의 충진비율에 따라서 파과시간과 파과곡선의 기울기가 영향을 받았다.

The importance of phytoplankton, benthic vegetation, vascular marsh plants (primarly Phragmites communis and Salix gracilstyla) and riverine particulates inputs to the coastal bay food web was studied in Kwangyang Bay, Korea using stable carbon isotope ratios. Vascular marsh plants (${\delta}^{13}$C=-27.4${\pm}$0.8%o) and riverine particulates (-26.0${\pm}$0.8%o) were isotopically distinct from phytoplankton (-20.7${\pm}$0.8%o), microphytobenthos (-14.2${\pm}$0.6%o) and seagrass (8.8%o). The ${\delta}^{13}$C values of consumers in the study site ranged from -20.2 to -11.3olo suggesting the assimilation of carbon derived from both phytoplankton and benthic vegetation (including algae and seagrass), The relative importance of both pelagic and benthic origins of food sources was likely to vary depending on feeding habit of the consumers. The isotopic difference between pelagic and benthic consumers indicated that plankton-derived carbon was used mostly by pelagic consumers, but the carbon derived from intertidal benthic vegetation was incorporated into food webs through benthic consumers. The ${\delta}^{13}$C values of consumers in the present study differed noticeably from published values of the phytoplankton-based ecosystem, particularly in the $^{13}$C enrichment of benthic grazers, deposit-feeders and demersal feeders of fishes. This tendency of the $^{13}$C enrichment was also found in suspension-feeding bivalves. Taking the biomasses of benthic vegetation into consideration, benthic microalgae was likely to account for the consumer $^{13}$C enrichment. Role of terrestrially derived riverine carbon was limited to the riverine system and was not evident within the bay systems. Phragmites, despite their important biomass, appeared to be of little importance as consumer diet.

Purpose - Performance appraisal has a significant influence on the development of low-carbon tourism distribution. Research design, data, and methodology - Data of this study are collected from 27 provinces (cities) of China. SBM-Malmquist model is used to measure the TFP and its dynamic changes of low-carbon tourism distribution; TOBIT model is used to discuss the factors of TFP of low-carbon tourism distribution. Results - The results show that, there are obvious differences among regional TFP of low-carbon tourism distribution, the average change tends to grow positively in general, and the western region grows fastest on average due to the improvement of technical efficiency and technical progress, while there are technical efficiency improvement but technical regresses in eastern and central regions. The economic scale, economic strength, structure of energy consumption, location quotient and government regulation have a significant positive effect on the TFP of low-carbon tourism; energy intensity, industrial structure and opening degree have a negative effect; investments in fixed assets, intensity of R&D fund and urbanization rate have no significant influence on the TFP of low-carbon tourism. Conclusions - Improving the productivity of low-carbon tourism and reducing regional differences are effective ways to develop low-carbon tourism and enhance tourism competitiveness.

Nanoporous non-woven carbon fibers for a gas sensor were prepared from a pitch/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) mixed solution through an electrospinning process and their gas-sensing properties were investigated. In order to create nanoscale pores, magnesium oxide (MgO) powders were added as a pore-forming agent during the mixing of these carbon precursors. The prepared nanoporous carbon fibers derived from the MgO pore-forming agent were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), $N_2$-adsorption isotherms, and a gas-sensing analysis. The SEM images showed that the MgO powders affected the viscosity of the pitch/PAN solution, which led to the production of beaded fibers. The specific surface area of carbon fibers increased from 2.0 to $763.2m^2/g$ when using this method. The template method therefore improved the porous structure, which allows for more efficient gas adsorption. The sensing ability and the response time for the NO gas adsorption were improved by the increased surface area and micropore fraction. In conclusion, the carbon fibers with high micropore fractions created through the use of MgO as a pore-forming agent exhibited improved NO gas sensitivity.

Amorphous carbon nanotubes were synthesized by a reaction of benzene, ferrocene and Na mixture in a small autoclave at temperatures as low as $400^{\circ}C$. The resulting carbon nanotubes were short and straight, but their inner hole was filled with residual products. The addition of quartz to the reacting mixture considerably promoted the formation of carbon nanotubes. A careful examination of powder structure suggested that the nanotubes in this process were mainly formed by surface diffusion of carbon atoms at the surface of solid catalytic particles, not by VLS(vapor-liquid-solid) mechanism.

In this work, expanded graphite (EG)-reinforced poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites were prepared by the melt mixing method and the content of the EG was fixed as 2 wt%. The effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a co-carbon filler on the electrical and mechanical properties of the EG/PET was investigated. The results showed that the electrical and mechanical properties of the EG/PET were significantly increased with the addition of MWCNTs, showing an improvement over those of PET prepared with EG alone. This was most likely caused by the interconnections in the MWCNTs between the EG layers in the PET matrix. It was found that the addition of the MWCNTs into EG/PET led to dense conductive networks for easy electron transfers, indicating a bridge effect of the MWCNTs.

The anti-dansyl antibodies were specifically labeled with stable isotope by growing hybridoma cells in serum-free medium. Assignments of the observed carbonyl carbon resonances have been determined by using $^{13}C-{15}N$ double labeling method in order to assign the Leu resonances. However, when the identical dipeptide appears more than twice in the polypeptide sequences, we applied the proteolytic fragments in the fragment-specific method. Carboxypep-tidase B-treated antibody has also been used to assign the Lys-447 in C terminal amino acid. These unambiguously assigned carbonyl carbon resonances in antibodies are thought to be useful in elucidating not only the structure of antibodies but also the structure-function relationship in the antibody by $^{13}C$ neuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

본 연구에서는 활성탄과 제올라이트 13X에 대한 벤젠, 톨루엔 및 자일렌 증기의 기체 흡착평형과 입자내부의 확산 특성을 조사하였다. 압력 범위 0.01~0.07 bar 사이에서 흡착온도를 각각 293.15 K, 303.15 K, 313.15 K로 변화시키면서 정적흡착실험을 수행하였다. 흡착평형은 Langmuir, Freundlich 및 Toth 흡착등온식을 적용하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 표준편차는 Langmuir 식과 Toth 식에서 낮았으며, Freundlich 식에서 표준편차가 가장 컸다. Langmuir 상수를 Arrhenius 식의 형태로 표현하여 구한 흡착에너지는 5.26~31.0 kJ/mol 정도로 물리흡착의 특성을 나타냈다. 흡착제에 따른 흡착질의 최대 흡착량은 활성탄의 경우 벤젠, 톨루엔, 자일렌으로 갈수록 최대 흡착량이 감소했으며, 제올라이트 13X의 경우 활성탄과는 반대로 최대 흡착량이 자일렌에서 가장 크고 벤젠에서 가장 작게 나타났다. 벤젠, 톨루엔 및 자일렌 증기의 유효확산계수는 약 $10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-4}cm^2/s$ 정도로 나타났으며, 압력이 증가함에 따라 값이 작아지고 온도가 증가함에 따라 값이 커지는 경향을 보였다. 온도와 압력의 변화에 따른 유효확산계수의 변화는 활성탄보다 제올라이트 13X에서 민감하게 나타났다. 따라서 압력 변동이 급격하게 발생하는 흡착공정에서 제올라이트 13X를 사용할 경우 정밀한 동적거동 예측을 위해서는 확산계수를 압력에 대한 함수로 표현하는 것이 필요하다.
