Modern biotechnological industries have been attempting to improve the efficiency of bacterial strain cultivation. Millimeter wave electromagnetic radiation can have a varied influence on E. coli cultivation processes. The results of the study revealed that when a microwave radiation of low intensity is applied to positively adjust the conditions for the accumulation of bacterial culture biomass, a significant role is played not only by radiation parameters, but also by concomitant biological factors, which influence the reproducibility of the cultivation process and help obtain a useful biotechnological effect. The authors suggest a model that can be used to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in the buildup of E. coli biomass under the influence of electromagnetic radiation.

실내 라돈 검출기의 신뢰성 평가를 위해서 미국 Landauer사의 $RadTrak^{(R)}$, 헝가리 Radosys사의 $Radopot^{(R)}$, 그리고 미국 Rad elec 사의 $E-PERM^{(R)}$ 검출기의 성능을 비교 검토하였다. RadTrak과 Radopot에 대한 라돈 표준 챔버 테스트 결과, $AlphaGUARD^{(R)}$ 검출 결과와 비교하여 각각 -13.2%. -6.0%로 라돈 검출기 성능평가기준인 ${\pm}20%$ 이내에 포함되는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 실제 현장에서의 장기간 측정을 통한 성능을 평가하기 위하여 약 100여개의 가옥 내 동일한 장소에 각각의 검출기를 1 년 동안 설치하여 비교하였다. RadTrak 과 Radopot 의 비교에서는 매우 좋은 상관관계 ($R^2$ = 0.91)를 보였지만, E-PERM과 Radopot의 비교결과, 거의 상관성을 파악 할 수 없었다($R^2$ = 0.021). 또한, E-PERM을 이용한 연평균 전국 실내 공간감마선량률 등준위도는 Portable Ion Chamber를 이용한 전국 실외 공간감마선량률 등준위도와 다소 상이한 결과를 보였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 향 후 대규모 라돈농도조사에 필요한 검출기 선정 요건에 대해서 논의 하였다.

This study was taken in general hospital, hotel, shopping center, underground cafe, school, house, for the purpose of investigating the distribution of indoor radon concentration in urban area, by E-PERM which approved U.S. EPA, between August and November 1999. There are two sampling Places were exceed 148 ㏃/㎥(4 pCi/L; U.S EPA remedial level), difference mean is 24.0㏃/㎥ when compared with underground vs. aboveground indoor radon concentration in the same building and ratio is 1.6, so underground area is higher than aboveground (p<0.05). Influencing factors were examined. They related to the location of sampler(detector) open or near the door is lower radon concentration than inside portion, which explains probably open area has better ventilated air and dilutes indoor radon concentration. Temperature has a negative relationship (p<0.05) with indoor radon concentration and relative humidity has a positive (p<0.05) Simultaneously to investigate water radon concentration, collected piped-water and the results were very low, which is the same in piped-water concentration other countries. In conclusion, underground indoor radon concentration is higher than aboveground. Concentration was related to sampling spot, open portion is lower than inside. Higher the temperature, lower the indoor radon concentrations. On the other hand higher the relative humidity, higher the indoor radon concentrations. Indoor radon concentration is influenced by sampling point, temperature, relative humidity.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to examine radon exposure in terms of the relationship between the living environment and indoor radon concentrations among vulnerable households. Methods: Nationwide, 1,129 subjects were selected using personal questionnaires for adequately understanding the living environment, installation of E-PERM radon gas detectors, and investigation of the structure of the housing. Results: The mean concentration of indoor radon for all subjects was $130.2Bq/m^3$ (GM=101.7), and a total of 438 subjects (38.8%) exceeded the recommended standards ($148Bq/m^3$) for public facilities by the Ministry of the Environment. By location, the highest concentrations ($164.3Bq/m^3$, GM=124.1) were seen in North Chungcheong Province. In the case of the Seoul/Gyeonggi Province metropolitan area, they showed $125.6Bq/m^3$ (GM=105.1) and $118.9Bq/m^3$ (GM=96.5), respectively. By type of housing, indoor radon concentrations in single-family housing were higher than in row/multi-family housing (p<0.01). Although indoor radon concentrations raised in accordance with year of construction (p<0.05), the difference between indoor radon concentrations in underground residences was not observed to be statistically significant (p=0.633). Conclusion: More studies are necessary in the future regarding the difference in indoor radon concentrations that may occur due to different of types of indoor construction, building materials, and the amount of building materials.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of various pentapeptides on hair repair depending on the characteristics of comprising amino acids using crosslinking agents in hair. Total ten peptides were synthesized with two kinds of amino acids respectively, of which were previously categorized according to R group of the amino acids contributing to the characteristic of each peptide: STTSS (Ser-Thr-Thr-Ser-Ser), LIILL (Leu-Ile-Ile-Leu-Leu), CMMCC (Cys-Met-Met-Cys-Cys), DEEDD (Asp-Glu-Glu-Asp-Asp), RKKRR (Arg-Lys-Lys-Arg-Arg), TAMRA-STTSS, TAMRA-LIILL, TAMRA-CMMCC, TAMRA-DEEDD, and TAMRA-RKKRR. Pentapeptide alone, or pentapeptides with crosslinking agents such as polymeric carbodiimide (PCI) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) were treated to chemically damaged hair. Hair diameter and break strength (N = 40/case) were measured to calculate tensile strength of hair for computing hair repair ratio, and fluorescence yields (N = 20/case) were collected for hair treated with TAMRA-peptides. The tensile strength of hair treated with pentapeptides alone, or pentapeptides with cross-linking agents is consistent with the fluorescence yield from the microscope images of the cross-sectioned hair in vision and in numerical values. Pentapeptides consisting of hydrophobic amino acids (LIILL), amino acids with sulfur (CMMCC), and basic amino acids (RKKRR) increased the tensile strength in perm-damaged hair. Pentapeptides with no extra carboxyl/amine groups in R group of amino acids resulted in no significant differences in hair strength and fluorescence yield among hairs treated with alone and with crosslinkers. Pentapeptides with extra carboxyl groups or amine groups enabled further strengthening of hair due to increased bonds within the hair after carbodiimide coupling reaction. The hair repairs of pentapeptides with various amino acid sequences were studied using crosslinking. Depending on the physical characteristics of comprising amino acids, the restoration of damaged hair was observed with tensile strength of hair and fluorescence signals upon cross-sectioned hair in parallel to possibly understand the binding tendency of each pentapeptide within the hair.

Risk communication can be defined as the exchange of information about the nature, magnitude, significance, acceptability, and management of risk. The effect of risk communication on the perception and knowledge towards risk of environmental pollutants and it's related factors were investigated in this study. To investigate perception and knowledge of students and teachers towards risk of environmental pollutants, we conducted the survey using self-administrated questionnaire. The subjects were 574 for the first survey and 465 for the seconds survey from May to June, 2000. The main methods of transmission used in this study- through video tape, visual materials, question and answer, and participation in measuring pollutants - were not a one - way street. But an interactive process where information and opinions were exchanged among individuals, groups, and institutions. Environmental pollutants measured with participation of study subjects was Radon in the class room. The concentration of Radon was measured using E -PERM Device by installing it at each site for about 5 days. Subjects showed much interest in environmental pollution. Also, more than 98％ of total subjects were perceived as Korea is seriously contaminated at present. By risk communication activity, risk perception of all subjects about Radon was increased, on the other hand, risk perception of Dioxin was decreased except for elementary student. Moreover, knowledge of all subjects about environmental risk was significantly increased (p =0.0001) and effort of reducing environmental pollution was more increased (p<0.05). There is need to further develop, refine, and integrate these approaches environmental risk communication study, there is an even more pressing need to accelerate the diffusion of environmental risk communication practice into government and organizations.

Objectives: This study is aimed at examining radon exposure in offices and the factors that can influence the concentrations. Methods: Indoor radon concentrations in a total of 30 places were measured from January 18 to 21, 2016, targeting six buildings in Seoul with different completion years. The measurement was conducted according to the radon measurement guidelines for indoor air suggested by the Ministry of Environment. Results: As a result of comparing each average concentration, underground area concentration was $42.850{\pm}22.501Bq/m^3$, and that of the ground floors was $27.850{\pm}12.232Bq/m^3$, which was lower than the concentration in the underground areas and statistically significant (p=0.045). As a result of comparing the concentration according to whether or not outside air entered, the average concentration for ventilated areas was $24.876{\pm}11.833Bq/m^3$, and the average concentration for enclosed areas was $47.892{\pm}19.375Bq/m^3$. The concentration in ventilated areas was lower at a statistically significant level (p=0.001). Finally, as a result of the multiple regression analysis for evaluating the factors influencing radon concentration, only ventilation was significant (p=0.007). Conclusions: As a result of measuring radon in office buildings, there was no place that exceeding the recommended standard of the US EPA, but the concentration in poorly ventilated areas was measured to be high. An effort to manage radon concentration and reduce it through the improvement of ventilation systems, repeated measurement is necessary in the future.

인체 조직은 노화 현상을 겪으면 산화로 인한 손상이 진행되어 구조적인 변화가 일어나고 물성 저하를 겪는다. 피부가 겪는 노화 과정은 잘 알려져 있고 많은 평가가 수행되고 있지만 상대적으로 모발(머리카락)의 노화에 의한 평가는 잘 진행되어 있지 않아 모발의 노화를 케어하는 연구가 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 모발의 노화 현상을 케어할 효능 기작을 적용할 수 있도록 노화된 모발 샘플을 제작하고 물성을 평가하여 안티에이징 효능을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 진행하였다. 먼저 내인성 노화가 진행된 모발의 지질량을 외인성 노화를 진행시킨 시료들과 비교한 결과, 펌 1회 처리 모발이 60대의 모발 지질량과 가장 유사함을 발견하였고, 이 모발을 통해서 원자 현미경으로 나노 스케일의 거칠기와 매크로 스케일의 인장강도를 평가하여 내인성 노화 모발과 유사한 물성 값을 가지고 있음을 확증하였다. 실제로 펌 처리를 통해 외인성으로 노화시킨 모발에 카르보디이미드와 펩타이드 결합을 적용하여 DSC로 구조적 변화와 거칠기 및 인장강도를 확인한 결과, 외인성 요인으로 노화된 모발을 에이징 이전의 상태의 물성 쪽으로 개선시키는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 내인성 노화에 의해서 소실 된 내부 구성 성분을 프로폴리스를 이용하여 보강한 경우에도 외인성 노화가 유도된 모발의 물성이 에이징 이전 상태의 물성으로 회복되는 안티 에이징 효능이 발생함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 외인성 노화 유발 모발 시료 및 평가는 모발의 외인성 노화 연구에 유용하게 적용될 수 있음을 최초로 확인하였다.

염색과 같이 산화제를 이용한 미용은 모발의 큐티클 구조를 바꾸거나 단백질 변성 및 지질의 소실을 야기하여 모발을 손상시킨다. 본 연구에서는 모발 손상 변화를 기기 평가를 통해 마찰계수를 측정하고 이것이 소비자들의 손상 인지와 상관성이 있는지 알아보고, 더 나아가 손상 원인을 수분 변화에서 찾아 분석 하였다. 염색, 펌, 탈색 과정을 모발에 반복할 때 마찰계수를 측정한 결과 염색의 경우는 3 회 처리에서 마찰계수 0.60을 기록했는데, 일반인들을 대상으로 동일 모발에 대한 촉감에 의한 손상 인지 조사에서 응답자의 58%가 이 모발에서 처음으로 손상을 인지한다고 답하였다. 탈색의 경우 3 회 처리에서 마찰계수가 0.84 로 크게 변하였는데 응답자의 88%가 손상모로 인지하였다. 지질 소실을 통한 손상에 따른 인지를 알아보기 위하여 모발 표면의 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA)를 제거해가며 마찰계수를 인위적으로 높인 다양한 모발을 제작하였다. 이 경우 마찰계수가 0.60 인 모발부터 전체 응답자의 68%가 최초로 손상을 인식한다고 답하였다. 기기평가로 확인된 마찰계수와 이와 연관되는 손상 인지가 모발에서 가장 많은 양을 차지하는 수분으로부터 기여되는지 확인하기 위하여 손상모의 수분함량을 측정하였다. 염색 처리 횟수가 증가할수록 모발의 접촉각이 감소하며 모발이 친수성으로 변함을 확인하였는데, 실제로 염색 손상모가 건강한 모발보다 0.42% 더 많은 수분량을 가짐을 유의차 있게 확인하였다. 최종적으로는 손상 모발의 수분량 증가가 마찰계수와 비례하는 점착력 증가를 유도하며 마찰계수가 0.60 이상으로 증가할 때 손상 인지가 됨을 알아보았다.
