The radiological safety of workers in a newly developed microwave-based spent resin treatment facility was assessed based on work location and operational scenarios. The results show that the remote-operation room worker was exposed to maximum annual dose of 3.19E+00 mSv, which is 15.9% of the dose limit, thereby confirming radiological safety. Inside the pathway, annual doses in the range of 7.87E-02-2.07E-01 mSv were measured initially at the mock-up tank and later at the point between the spent resin separation and treatment parts. The dose of emergency maintenance workers was below the dose limit (4.08E-03-4.99E+00 mSv); however, before treatment (separation and microwave), the dose of maintenance and repair workers exceeded the dose limit. The doses of the effluent removal workers at the zeolite and activated carbon storage tank and spent resin storage tank were the lowest at 2.79E-01-2.87E-01 mSv and 9.27E-01 mSv in "1 h" and "4-5 h of operation", respectively. The immediately lower and upper layers of the facility room exhibited the highest annual doses of 1.84E+00 and 3.22E+00 mSv, respectively. Through this study, a scenario that can minimize the dose considering the movement of spent resin through the facility can be developed.

The first purpose of this study was to evaluate the scavenging capacity (SC) of DPPH and ABTS free radicals for ethanol extract (STR-E) and its active fractions from Sophora tonkinensis root (STR). Four different fractions from STR-E were prepared by using different types of solvents such as chloroform (STR-E-C), ethyl acetate (STR-E-EA), n-butanol (STR-E-B), and water (STR-E-W). STR-E-C showed the highest value of total phenolic content, while STR-E showed the highest value of total flavonoid and terpenoid content. In STR-E and its four fractions, STR-E-EA showed the strongest SC with the lowest SC50 values of the DPPH radicals and ABTS radicals. The second purpose of this study was to evaluate anti-inflammatory activity in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages treated with STR-E, STR-E-C, and STR-E-EA, respectively. No cytotoxic effect to RAW 264.7 cells was observed at 20 ~ 25 ㎍/ml of STR-E, 10 ㎍/ml of STR-E-C, and 5 ㎍/ml of the STR-E-EA, presenting cell viability values close to that of the untreated control (100%). STR-E, STR-E-C, and STR-E-EA significantly suppressed the LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) in a dose-dependent manner. Results of reverse-transcription (RT)-qPCR analysis showed that the peak mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, IL-6, and IL-10 were observed in the LPS-stimulated macrophages at 4 h, 2 h, 12 h, 12 h, and 12 h, respectively. The peak mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, and IL-6 were significantly reduced in the LPS-stimulated macrophages co-treated with 20 ㎍/ml and 25 ㎍/ml of STR-E, respectively. In the case of IL-10, its peak mRNA level slightly increased without statistical significance. Compared with the LPS-stimulated macrophages, the peak mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, and IL-6 reduced in the LPS-stimulated macrophages co-treated with 10 ㎍/ml and 20 ㎍/ml of STR-E-C, respectively. In contrast, the peak mRNA level of IL-10 significantly increased at 8 h. Compared with the LPS-stimulated macrophages, the peak mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, and IL-6 reduced in the LPS-stimulated macrophages co-treated with 5 ㎍/ml and 10 ㎍/ml of STR-E-EA, respectively. In contrast, the peak mRNA level of IL-10 increased at 4 h. Taken together, our data indicated that STR-E, STR-E-C, and STR-E-EA activate macrophages to secrete both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

PU block polymers are constituted by sequences of constitutional units CU which are : a diisocyanate T, a polyol or a polyamine V, an extensor E .Due to the CU different solubility parameters ,hard and soft micro domains are formed;they can aggregate into different phases. A linear PU can be described by two parameters R=T/N and $R_{E}$=(R-1)V/E.A stoichiometric model is proposed which gives the general formula of all the possible PU: X((TV)$_{k}$(TE)$_{n}$)$_{m}$X , where k and m can be calculated from the experimental molecular weights respectively of pre polymer and polymer and n= R-1.Physical properties depend on PU composition and on nature of CU. I.R. analysis is useful for discovering the hydrogen bonds location : DSC gives informations on the presence of the different phases .PALS analysis shows that nano cavities become tighter on increasing n. A series of particular Pus ,obtained from :TDI, a low molecular weight polyol, a cyclic extensor, at different R and RE was prepared and analysed. These PU are amorphous, monophasic and appear to be good candidates for membranes.nes.nes.

This survey was ocnducted to investgate changes of the plant community structure from 1972 to 1993 in forest of Mt. Kwanak and thirty-five plots that the size of each plot was 10m${\times}$10m(100㎡) were set up and the vegetation analysis was caried out. By the TWINSPAN analysis, the plant community of survey area were divied into Quercus mongolica, Q. mongolica-Pinus densiflora(1), Q. mongolica-P. densiflora(2), Q. acutissima community. The successional trends of the woody species were seemed to be from P. densiflora, Sorbus alnifolia to Q. mongolica in the canopy layer. But the successional trends in the understory and shrub layer were difficult to suppose. The forest vegetation of Mt. Kwanak from 1972 to 1993 was severely decreased in species number and individuals. The sensitive species for the environmental pollution were selected, and the tolerant plants for the acid soil were increased. In comparision with the DBH class distribution from 1972 to 1993, it shows that the ecological succession has stopped. In the analysis of soil characteristics, soil acidification has taken place over last twenty-two years(from pH=5.40 to pH=4.53). The concentration of K+, Ca++ was severly decreased(from K+=0.60m.e./100g to K+=0.06m.e./100g, from Ca++=3.20m.e./100g to Ca++=0.63m.e./100g), which also could seemed to be cause of plant community decline.

Bacillus subtilis HK176 with high fibrinolytic activity was isolated from cheonggukjang, a Korean fermented soyfood. A gene, aprE176, encoding the major fibrinolytic enzyme was cloned from B. subtilis HK176 and overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) using plasmid pET26b(+). The specific activity of purified AprE176 was 216.8 ± 5.4 plasmin unit/mg protein and the optimum pH and temperature were pH 8.0 and 40℃, respectively. Error-prone PCR was performed for aprE176, and the PCR products were introduced into E. coli BL21(DE3) after ligation with pET26b(+). Mutants showing enhanced fibrinolytic activities were screened first using skim-milk plates and then fibrin plates. Among the mutants, M179 showed the highest activity on a fibrin plate and it had one amino acid substitution (A176T). The specific activity of M179 was 2.2-fold higher than that of the wild-type enzyme, but the catalytic efficiency (k_cat/K_m) of M179 was not different from the wild-type enzyme owing to reduced substrate affinity. Interestingly, M179 showed increased thermostability. M179 retained 36% of activity after 5 h at 45℃, whereas AprE176 retained only 11%. Molecular modeling analysis suggested that the 176^th residue of M179, threonine, was located near the cation-binding site compared with the wild type. This probably caused tight binding of M179 with Ca²⁺, whichincreased the thermostability of M179.

This study compared the efficacy of chiral GC and chiral HPLC for the analysis of nicotine. To develop a suitable dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method, the following parameters were optimized: pH, extraction solvent, dispersive solvent, type and quantity of salt, and laboratory temperature. The validation of the method was carried out by the established HPLC method. The LODs were 0.11 ㎍/mL and 0.17 ㎍/mL for the (S)- and (R)- enantiomers, respectively. The LOQs were 0.30 ㎍/mL and 0.44 ㎍/mL, respectively. The optimal calibration range was between 0.30-18 ㎍/mL and 0.44-4.40 ㎍/mL, respectively, and the correlation coefficient (r²) was 0.9978-0.9996. The intra-day accuracy was 79.9-110.6 %, and the intra-day precision was 1.3-12.0 %. The inter-day accuracy was 87.8-108.0 %, and the inter-day precision was 4.0-12.8 %. E-liquid and biological fluids (urine and saliva) were analyzed using the established method.

우리나라 멸치어업에서의 1971~1992년 동안의 22년간 월별 어획량 자료를 시계열 분석하여 어획량을 분석, 예측하였다. 시계열 분석은 다른 생물학적, 해양학적, 사회 경제적인 요소가 없어도 단지 어획량 자료만으로 분석과 예측이 가능하다. 첫 20년간인 1971~1990년 사이의 월별 멸치 어획량 자료를 ARIMA 시계열 모형에 적용시켜 구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 로그 (대수) 변환시켰을 때의 ARIMA 모형: $$(1-0.381B)(1-0.027B^{12}+0.141B^{24})(1-B^1)(1-B^{12})Z_t=(1-0.968B)(1-0.727B^{12})e_t$$, Box-Cox 변환시켰을 때의 ARIMA 모형: $$(1-0.431B)(1-B^{12})Z_t=(1-0.882B^{12})e_t$$, 위의 두 모형중 Box-Cox 변환시킨 것이 로그 (대수) 변환시킨 것보다 예측오차가 적었으며, Box-Cox 변환식은 $Y'=(Y^{0.58}-1)/0.58$ 이었다. 위의 두 모형 중 후자의 모형을 이용하여 1991~1992년 사이의 월별 어획량을 예측하였다. 예측 어획량과 실제 어획량과의 월별 오차범위는 1.0~63.2% (1991년에 1.6~63.2%이고, 1992년에는 1.0~60.4%)였다. 예측 어획량이 각 연도별로 148,201M/T과 148,834M/T인데 비해, 실제 어획량은 170,293M/T, 168,234M/T이었다. 2년 동안의 총어획량에 대한 오차는 12.3%였다. 또한 스펙트럼 분석은 순환변동의 주기가 2.2개월, 6.1개월, 10.2개월, 12개월, 14.7개월에서 상대적으로 큰 성분이 있음을 나타내었다 이 순환변동 성분은 적절한 ARIMA 모형을 결정하는 데도 도움이 된다.

집중호우로 인한 도시 내수배제 능력의 부족으로 월류가 발생하거나 하천의 제방붕괴, 통수능의 부족 등으로 인하여 범람이 발생하는 경우, 재해 예방차원에서 가장 근본적인 것은 침수의 양상을 파악할 수 있어야 한다. 즉, 어느 지역까지 침수지역이 확장될 것인가, 얼마나 빠르게 범람된 흐름이 흘러갈 것인가, 그리고 언제 홍수위가 감소할 것인가를 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 국내 도시지역 지형특성에 적합한 침수예측 모형의 개발이 필요하며, 이를 이용하여 다양한 범람 조건을 좀 더 합리적으로 모의할 수 있게 된다. 또한 물리적인 모형과의 비교를 통해 매우 복잡한 지형을 가진 도시침수계산 등이 이루어질 수 있으며, 침수구역에 대한 적절한 예 경보 및 피난대책의 수립이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 DEM 기반 침수해석 모형에서 계산시간이 오래 걸린다는 단점을 보완하기 위해 Sub-Grid를 적용한 침수해석 모형을 개발하였다. 하나의 격자는 $e_1$, $e_2$, $e_3$, $e_4$의 표고를 가지는 4개의 보조격자로 구성하였다. $25m{\times}25m$의 Sub-Grid를 갖는 $50m{\times}50m$의 격자에 대한 침수해석 결과와 Sub-Grid가 없이 $25m{\times}25m$ 및 $50m{\times}50m$ 격자로 구성된 대상유역에 대한 침수해석 결과를 비교하였다.
