토양오염 디이젤 제거에 대한 토양 세척기술의 적용을 위해 디이젤 제거효과가 좋은 비이온 계면활성제를 선택하기 위한 조건 중 소수성 사슬구조의 영향을 고찰하였다. 비이온 계면활성제는 CMC값이 낮고, 생분해성이 좋으며, 유기 오염물질에 대한 용해 능력이 커서 디이젤과 같은 NAPL류 제거에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 비이온계 계면활성제 구조 내 소수성 탄화수소 사슬의 길이와 불포화결합의 존재는 흡착과 디이젤 제거에 영향을 미치며, 비이온계 계면활성제의 kaolin토양흡착과 디이젤 제거는 서로 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 친수성기의 구조가 서로 동일한 계면활성제 중에서 소수성 탄화수소 사슬길이가 12개로 비교적 짧고 HLB값이 클 때 상대적으로 낮은 흡착평형농도와 높은 디이젤 제거효율을 나타냈다. 소수성 사슬 내에 불포화 탄화수소가 존재할 때 낮은 흡착평형농도와 높은 디이젤 제거 효율을 나타냈다. 농도에 따른 제거경향은 흡착이 평형에 도달한 후에 최대의 제거 효율을 나타냈으며 그 이상의 농도에서는 오히려 제거효율이 감소하는 현상이 나타났다.

The new organic semiconductors which are composed of divinylbenzene core unit and alkoxynaphthalene on both sides, 1,4-bis-2-(6-octyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BONVB), 1,4-bis-2-(6-decyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDNVB) and 1,4-bis-2-(6-dodecyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDDNVB) were synthesized by Wittig reaction. The structures of obtained BONVB, BDNVB and BDDNVB were confirmed by FT-IR and mass spectroscopy. UV-absorption of thin film showed H-aggregates and J-aggregates due to closely packed structure between adjacent molecules. The characterization of vacuum-evaporated films by Xray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the chain length of alkoxy group affects the crystallinity and morphology. BONVB with octyloxy group showed the mobility of $0.011cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off ratio of $1.31{\times}10^5$, and a subthreshold slope of 0.93 V.

Objective: This study was conducted to screen scrotal hernia in domesticated swine from selected breeders in the Philippines. This defect is associated with a cytosine to thymine mutation in the BCL-2 associated X protein (BAX) gene of swine. Methods: Genetic screening was done by DNA extraction followed by amplification and digestion using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, amplifying the 416 bp region of the BAX gene that was subjected to digestion using the Ear I enzyme. Sequencing was also conducted to validate the results. Results: Results revealed that out of 538 samples tested, 411 (76.4%) of the samples were found to be normal whereas the remaining were carriers of the mutation in which 80 (14.9%) were heterozygous mutants and 47 (8.7%) were homozygous mutants. Pietrain breed was found to have the highest incidence. Conclusion: Having a scrotal hernia eliminates the chances of using the boar as a breeder stock because the following generations arising from it would most likely exhibit herniation. It is therefore advised to establish a genetic screening method for Scrotal Hernia in the Philippines to eliminate the negative gene from the herd.

본 논문에서는 지문 융선의 방향정보를 검출하는 효과적인 방법을 제안하였다. 제안방법은 먼저 지문영상을 정규화하고 융선이 있는 전경영역과 융선이 없는 배경영역으로 분할하여 문턱값으로 이진영상으로 변환한다. 전경영역은 융선(ridge)과 골(valley)부분으로 구성되는데 융선의 경계를 런길이 부호를 이용하여 체인코드로 표현한다. 지문 융선의 각 화소에서 방향정보를 검출하기 위해서 체인코드로 표현된 융선 경계를 추적하면서 방향정보를 구한다. 그리고 일정한 블록내의 융선방향은 급격하게 변하지 않으므로 블록별로 평활화하여 각 화소의 방향정보를 구한다. 제안방법의 성능평가를 위해 NIST 및 FVC2002 지문데이터베이스를 이용하여 컴퓨터시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 제안방법을 지문 융선의 방향정보를 효과적으로 검출하는데 이용할 수 있음을 보였다.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are homo or hetero polyesters of (R)-hydroxyalkanoates accumulated in various microorganisms under growth-limiting condition in the presence of excess carbon source. They have been suggested as biodegradable substitutes for chemically synthesized polymers. Recombinant Escherichia coli is one of the promising host strains for the economical production of PHAs, and has been extensively investigated for the process development. The heterologous PHA biosynthetic pathways have been established through the metabolic engineering and inherent metabolic pathways of E. coli have been redirected to supply PHA precursors. Fermentation strategies for cultivating these recombinant E. coli strains have also been developed for the efficient production of PHAs. Nowadays, short-chain-length (SCL) PHAs are being re-invited due to its improved mechanical properties and possible applications in the biomedical area. In this article, recent advances in the development of metabolically engineered E. coli strains for the enhanced production of SCL-PHAs are reviewed. Also, medical applications of SCL-PHAs are discussed.

This research aimed to compare the detection methods of Anisakis simplex in Sea fish by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and macroscopic inspection. We examined 18 Trichiurus lepturus, 11 Scomber japonicus, and 65 Todarodes pacificus collected from the retail markets in the areas of Uljin, Kyuonggi province and Seoul. As the result of examinations, we found that detection rate of Anisakis simplex by macroscopic observation was 89% in Trichiurus lepturus, 90.9% in Scomber japonicus, 32.3% in Todarodes pacificus. The detection rate of Anisakis simplex by PCR-RFLP was 77.7% in Trichiurus lepturus, 81.8% in Scomber japonicus, 26.1% in Todarodes pacificus. We could conclude that PCR-RFLP method of Anisakis simplex was more specific rather than macroscopic observation.

Block copolymers consisting of poly(rbenzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) as the hydrophobic part and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the hydrophilic part were synthesized and characterized. Polymeric micelles of the block copolymers (abbreviated GEG) were prepared by a dialysis method. The GEG block copolymers were associated in water to form polymeric micelles, and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of the block copolymers decreased with increasing PBLG chain length in the block copolymers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed polymeric micelles of spherical shapes. From dynamic light scattering (DLS) study, sizes of polymeric micelles of GEG-1, GEG-2, and GEG-3 copolymer were 106.5±59.2 nm, 79.4±46.0 nm, and 37.9±13.3 nm, respectively. The drug loading contents of GEG-1, GEG-2 and GEG-3 polymeric micelles were 12.6, 11.9, and 11.0 wt %, respectively. These results indicated that the drugloading contents were dependent on PBLG chain length in the copolymer; the longer the PBLG chain length, the more the drug-loading contents. Release of norfloxacin (NFX) from the nanoparticles was slower in higher loading contents of NFX than in lower loading contents due to the hydrophobic interaction between PBLG core and NFX.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the structure and stability of a nanoscale self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiol on a gold (111) surface. The tilt angle and orientational order of the alkyl chains in the SAM island were examined by systematically varying the size of the island. The chain length dependence of the SAM island was examined by considering alkanethiols containing 12, 16, 20, and 24 carbon atoms. The minimum diameter of SAM islands made from 1-tetracosanethiol, 1-ecosanethiol, 1-hexadecanethiol and 1-dodecanethiol were 2.29, 1.9, 4.7 and 4.76 nm, respectively. These set the ultimate resolution that can be patterned by soft nanolithography. As the length of alkanethiol increases, the SAM islands became more ordered in both orientation and conformation of the alkyl chains.

Twenty four thiol-functionalized ionic liquids based on imidazolium cation, 1-(12-mercaptododecyl)-3-alkylimidazolium salts, have been synthesized, and utilized to investigate the effects of alkyl-chain length and anion on the wettability of Au surfaces on the basis of self-assembled monolayers presenting [(CnSAMIM)X], where n = 1-6, X = Br, $BF_4$, $PF_4$ and $NTf_2$. Water wettabilities of the surfaces were measured as a water contact angle by contact angle goniometry. It was found that water wettability of the Au surfaces coated with imidazolium ions was largely dependent not only on counter anions but also on the length of alkyl chains. In the case of SAMs of N-alkylimidazolium ions having short length of N-alkyl chain (C1-$C_4$), anions played great role in determining water wettability of the surfaces.

Let p be an odd prime. The algebraic structure of all negacyclic codes of length $8_{p^s}$ over the finite commutative chain ring ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}+u{\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ where $u^2=0$ is studied in this paper. Moreover, we classify all negacyclic codes of length $8_{p^s}$ over ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}+u{\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ into 5 cases, i.e., $p^m{\equiv}1$ (mod 16), $p^m{\equiv}3$, 11 (mod 16), $p^m{\equiv}5$, 13 (mod 16), $p^m{\equiv}7$, 15 (mod 16) and $p^m{\equiv}9$ (mod 16). From that, the structures of dual and some self-dual negacyclic codes and number of codewords of negacyclic codes are obtained.
