본 연구에서는 중금속으로 오염된 불포화토에 대한 동전기 정화 기법 적용시 발생되는 동전기 현상과 정화 특성을 실험적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 사격장에서 채취한 시료에 대하여 포화도에 따른 일련의 동전기 정화 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 불포화토에서의 납은 주로 확산이중층 내부에서의 직접적인 전기이온이동에 의해 제거되었고, 만약 1V/cm의 전압경사에서 초기 오염농도가 양이온교환능 이하이고 단위토립자당 흡착량이 동일하다면 포화도 증가에 따른 납의 이동효율의 감소로 인하여 제거율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

While estuarine dams can develop freshwater resources and block the salt intrusion, they can result in increased sediment deposition in the estuary. The mechanism of increased sediment deposition in an estuary with an estuary dam is not well understood. To fill this knowledge gap, 7 ADCP measurements of flow and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were collected along-channel in an estuary with an estuarine dam over a neap-spring cycle. Flow and SSC were used to calculate the sediment flux and sediment flux gradients. The results indicated that the cumulative sediment fluxes at all stations were directed landward. The along-channel sediment flux gradient was negative, which indicated deposition along the channel. The landward mean-flow fluxes were dominant in the deep portion of the channel near the estuary mouth, whereas landward correlation fluxes were dominant in the shallow portion of the channel near the estuarine dam. The tides were the dominant forcing driving the sediment fluxes throughout the estuary.

Pinus species are native to the Northern Hemisphere and some parts of the tropics to temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere. They were used as food and medicine in prehistoric times. Massonianoside B is a compound found in pine trees and possesses antioxidant activity. In order to determine the presence and content of this compound in Pinus species, three different parts (needles, branches, and bark) of three Pinus species were extracted and investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography with a gradient elution system along with a reverse-phase INNO column with photodiode array detector was employed. Results showed that the branches of the three Pinus species had higher massonianoside B content (5.502 to 9.751 mg/g DW) than either the needles or bark. Furthermore, among the three species, P. rigida × P. taeda had the highest concentration of total massonianoside B (11.557 mg/g DW). These findings thus provide evidence of biological activity in Pinus species and establish a foundation for further research.

A simple and accurate method was developed for the quantitative analysis of oleanonic acid (OA) from mastic gum. The analysis was carried out using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography combined with a photodiode array detector (HPLC/PDA). Our optimized method was validated by measuring various parameters, using an INNO C18 column fitted with a gradient elution system. The results revealed limits of detection and quantification of 0.34 and 1.042 ㎍/mL, respectively. The OA calibration curve exhibited excellent linearity over the concentration range of 0.0625 to 2.0 mg/mL, with r² =0.9996. Accuracy tests revealed a high recovery rate of 99.44-103.66%, with precision values below 0.15%. These results suggest that the present analytical method can identify and quantify OA in mastic gum with high precision. The HPLC approach developed in this study might be applied to routine analyses and large-scale extraction procedures for OA content quantification.

Passive auto-catalytic recombiners (PARs) are widely used to mitigate a hydrogen hazard. The first step to evaluate the hydrogen safety by PARs is to obtain qualified test data of the PARs for validation of their analytical model. SPARC PAR tests SP8 and SP9 were conducted to evaluate the hydrogen recombination characteristics of a honeycomb-shaped catalyst PAR. To obtain the hydrogen recombination rate from the PAR test data, two methods, Method-1 and Method-2, introduced by the THAI project, were applied. Since a large gradient of hydrogen concentration developed during hydrogen injection can cause a large error in the hydrogen mass obtained by integrating the measured hydrogen concentrations, a gate was installed at the PAR inlet to homogenize hydrogen in the test vessel before the PAR operation in the tests. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code with a PAR model was also applied to evaluate the characteristics of the PAR recombination according to the PAR inlet conditions, and the results were compared with those from Method-1 and Method-2. It was confirmed that the recombination rates from Method-1 require a correction factor to be compatible with results from Method-2 and the CFD simulation in the case of the SPARC-PAR tests.

전 세계적으로 녹조 대발생은 빈번하게 보고되고 있으며, 국내에서도 매년 녹조로 인한 심각한 수질 오염 문제가 발생하고 있다. 지속적인 관리와 신속한 대응을 통한 수생태계 보호가 필요하다. 녹조 발생의 지표인 chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) 농도를 예측하기 위해 위성 영상을 이용한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 수계에 따라 변하는 분광특성과 대기 보정 오류로 인해 정확한 Chl-a 산출에 어려움이 있어 최근 머신러닝 모델을 활용하고 있다. 위성 분광지수 뿐만 아니라 녹조에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대한 복합적인 고려가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구는 수질, 수문 및 기상 인자와 Sentinel-2 영상을 복합적으로 고려하여 데이터셋을 구축하였다. 최근 5년간 낙동강에 위치한 8개 보 구간의 Chl-a 농도 예측에 대표적인 앙상블 모델 random forest (RF)와 extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)을 활용하였다. 모델 평가 지표로 r-squared score (R²), root mean square errors(RMSE), mean absolute errors (MAE)를 사용하였으며, XGBoost의 R²가 0.810, RMSE가 6.612, MAE가 4.457로 유의미한 결과를 얻은 것을 확인하였다. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) 분석을 통해 두 모델 모두 수질 인자 suspended solids (SS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved oxygen (DO)과 red edge 밴드를 활용한 밴드비가 높은 중요도를 보인 것을 알 수 있었다. 다양한 입력 데이터는 모델 성능 향상에 도움을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 국내외 녹조 탐지에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

섬진강 하구에서 수온, 염분, pH, 용존산소, 부유입자물질, 영양염류, 엽록소 a의 시간에 따른 변화 양상을 파악하기 위해서 2006년 3월(건기)과 7월(우기)에 각각 25시간 연속관측을 실시하였다. 또한 공간적인 분포특성을 파악하기 위해서 염분경사에 따라 해양환경 조사를 실시하였다. 섬진강 하구에서 염분의 변화는 건기에는 조석주기, 우기에는 강물 유출량에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 용존무기영양염류(질산염, 아질산염, 규산염) 농도의 시공간적 분포는 건기에는 염분의 변화와 좋은 상관관계를 보였다. 반면 우기에는 시간에 따라 농도 변화가 작았다. 우기시 영양염류의 평균 농도는 건기에 비해 용존무기질산염의 경우 약 6배, 용존무기인의 경우 약 4배, 용존무기규산염의 경우 약 43배 높게 나타났다. 엽록소 a 농도는 용존무기영양염류의 농도가 높은 우기에 비해 건기에 높게 나타났다. 이 연구결과, 우기와 건기에 해양환경인자의 시공간적 분포는 조석과 강물유출량의 영향에 의해 결정되며, 엽록소 a의 분포는 용존무기영양염류의 분포보다는 담수의 유출량 변화와 연관성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

생물학적 수처리공정의 생물막 (호기성 혹은 혐기성) 내의 생물막 두께 및 이온들의 농도구배등에 대한 모델링을 위하여 종래에 이론적으로만 접근하던 방법 대신, 실제로 생물막을 이동하며 측정하여 분석하는 첨단 연구 방법인 미소전극탐침을 제작하여 적용하였다. 미소전극 센서장치에서 가장 중요한 요소 중에 하나인 working 미소전극탐침은 생물막내의 전위차 (EMF, electromotive force)를 측정할 때 오염과 파손 등에 의해서 수명이 짧아지기 쉽기 때문에, 각각의 working 미소전극탐침의 제작방법에 대하여 논의하였으며, 제작된 pH와 $NO_3{^-}$ 미소전극탐침으로 탈질 미생물막 이온들의 농도를 막 깊이별로 측정하였다. 미소전극 센서장치에 의한 측정결과, 탈질 미생물막 내부에서의(생물막 표면에서 약 $350{\mu}m$) pH는 8.3 정도로 벌크용액상(bulk solution)의 pH 8보다 약간 상승하였으며, $NO_3{^-}$의 농도는 벌크용액상의 30 mg N/L농도에서 최종 4 mg N/L 청도로 나타났다.

It has been reported that the luteal function may be regulated by the intracellular calcium in luteal cells (Higuchi et al, 1976; Dorflinger et at, 1984; Gore and Behrman, 1984) which is adjusted partially by $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activities in luteal cell membranes (Verma and Pennistion, 1981). However, the physicochemical and kinetic properties of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ in luteal membranes were not fully characterized. This study was, therefore, undertaken to partially characterize the physicochemical and kinetic properties of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system in luteal membranes and microsomal fractions, known as an one of the major $Ca^{++}$ storge sites (Moore and Pastan, 1978), from the highly luteinized ovary Highly luteinized ovaries were obtained from PMSG-hCG injected immautre female rats. Light membrane and heavy membrane fractions and microsomal fractions were prepared by the differential and discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation method desribed by Bramley and Ryan (1980). Light membrane and heavy membrane fractions and microsomal fractions from highly luteinized ovaries are composed of the two different kinds of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system. One is the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ which is activated in low $Ca^{++}$ concentration (Km, 10-30 nM), the other is low affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activated in higher $Ca^{++}$ concentration $(K_{1/2},\;40\;{\mu}M)$. At certain $Ca^{++}$ concentrations, activities of high and low affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ are the highest in light membrane fractions and are the lowest in microsomal fractions. It appeares that high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system have 2 binding sites for ATP (Hill's coefficient; around 2 in all membrane fractions measured) and the positive cooperativity of ATP bindings obviously existed in each membrane fractions. The optimum pH for high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activation is around S in all membrane fractions measured. The lipid phase transition temperature measured by Arrhenius plots of high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activity is around $25^{\circ}C$. The activation energies of high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ below the transition temperature are similar in each membrane fractions, but at the above transition temperature, it is the hightest in heavy membrane fractions and the lowest in microsomal fractions. According to the above results, it is suggested that intracellular $Ca^{++}$ level, which may regulate the luteal function, may be adjusted primarily by the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system activated in intracellular $Ca^{++}$ concentration range $(below\;0.1\;{\mu}M)$.
