본 연구는 삼지구엽초의 기능성 식품학적 이용성 증진을 위한 기초적인 연구로써 우리나라 산야에서 존재하며 예로부터 약용으로 이용되고 있는 삼지구엽초의 주요성분인 icariin을 분리하여 생리활성을 검토하였다. 에탄올로 추출한 삼지구엽초를 극성이 다른 용매인 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올, 헥산, 물, 클로로포름 층으로 분리하여, icariin의 함량을 측정한 결과 각각 27.9, 2.5, 1.7, 1.4, 1.3 ${\mu}g/g$이었고, icariin 수율이 가장 많은 에틸아세테이트 분획물로부터 정제한 icariin 수율은 295.5 ${\mu}g/g$이었으며 대부분 에틸아세테이트에서 용출되는 것을 확인하였다. 용매별 분획물의 항산화효과는 에틸아세테이트 분획층에서 49.0 ${\mu}g/mL$로 가장 높았으며, 부탄올(59.2 ${\mu}g/mL$), 헥산(119.8 ${\mu}g/mL$), 물(122.0 ${\mu}g/mL$), 클로로포름(138.5 ${\mu}g/mL$) 층의 순으로 나타났으며, 정제된 icariin(15.3 ${\mu}g/mL$)은 대조구인 ascorbic acid (19.5 ${\mu}g/mL$), ${\alpha}$-tocopherol(18.2 ${\mu}g/mL$)보다 다소 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Salmonella Typhimurium을 이용한 돌연변이 및 항돌연변이성에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 삼지구엽초에서 분리한 icariin은 TA98과 TA100세포 모두에서 돌연변이성을 나타내지 않았다. 인간면역세포인 B세포와 T세포에서의 면역활성시험을 측정한 결과, icariin은 대조구보다 B세포에서 1.27배, T세포에서 1.28배의 비교적 높은 면역증강활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 삼지구엽초를 이용한 기능성식품 및 식품재료로서의 이용성 증진을 위한 기초 자료로 제공될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The ecosystems of certain abandoned mines contain arsenic-resistant bacteria capable of performing detoxification when an ars gene is present in the bacterial genome. The ars gene has already been isolated from Pseudomonas putida and identified as a member of the membrane transport regulatory deoxyribonucleic acid family. The arsenite-oxidizing bacterial strains isolated in the present study were found to grow in the presence of 66.7 mM sodium arsenate($V;\;Na_2HAsO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$), yet experienced inhibited growth when the sodium arsenite($III;\;NaAsO_2$) concentration was higher than 26 mM. Batch experiment results showed that Pseudomonas putida strain OS-5 completely oxidized 1 mM of As(III) to As(V) within 35 h. An arsB gene encoding a membrane transport regulatory protein was observed in arsenite-oxidizing Pseudomonas putida strain OS-5, whereas arsB, arsH, and arrA were detected in strain OS-19, arsD and arsB were isolated from strain RW-18, and arsR, arsD, and arsB were found in E. coli strain OS-80. The leader gene of arsR, -arsD, was observed in a weak acid position. Thus, for bacteria exposed to weak acidity, the ars system may cause changes to the ecosystems of As-contaminated mines. Accordingly, the present results suggest that arsR, arsD, arsAB, arsA, arsB, arsC, arsH, arrA, arrB, aoxA, aoxB, aoxC, aoxD, aroA, and aroB may be useful for arsenite-oxidizing bacteria in abandoned arsenic-contaminated mines.

황철석에 대한 압축성 연구를 다이아몬드 앤빌 기기 및 방사광을 이용하고 에너지분산 X-선회절법을 적용하여 상온에서 시행하였다. 황철석의 체적탄성률은 실험조건과 실험기기에 따라 매우 큰 변이를 보이고 있는데 이는 압력전달매체의 특성에 따른 것으로 알려져 있다. $FeS_{2}#1$(황철석+NaCl)과 $FeS_{2}#2$(황철석+MgO)에 대해 압력전달 매체로 각각 NaCl과 유체를 이용하여 체적탄성률 138.9 GPa와 198.2 GPa를 각각 얻었다. 이러한 값은 시료방의 압력상태에 따른 예측 결과치에 대치되는 것으로 그 원인은 압력전달액체의 상변이에 따른 것으로 추정되며 이외에 고상검출기의 차이, E*d값의 차이 등도 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 모든 실험은 포항가속기연구소 1B2 빔라인에서 시행되었다.

태양광 발전은 일사량이 높을수록 발전량이 증가된다. 그러나 일사량이 높아짐에 따라 셀의 온도도 같이 증가하여 발전효율은 감소하게 된다. 일반적으로 태양광 셀(Cell) 표면의 온도를 $1^{\circ}C$ 감소시키면 약 0.5%의 발전량의 증가가 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 태양광 발전량 증가를 위해 냉각/세정 장기 실증 실험을 수행하였다. 기전력과 집광량을 높이기 위해 모듈 표면 온도를 낮추고 오염물질을 제거하는 냉각/세정 기술을 이용하였다. 실험 방법은 냉각/세정 설비가 설치된 곳과 설치되지 않은 곳의 이용률을 비교하였다. 장기 실증 시험을 결과 냉각/세정 설비의 구동으로 인한 발전량이 최소 13%에서 최대 19%까지 증가하였다.

In total, 131 Escherichia coli isolates from surface seawater of the Gomso Bay, of Korea, were analyzed for their susceptibility to 22 different antimicrobials and for genes associated with antimicrobial resistance and virulence. According to the disk diffusion susceptibility test, the resistance to tetracycline was most prevalent (33.6%), followed by that to ampicillin (22.1%), ticarcillin (22.1%), and trimethoprim (16.8%). More than 46.6% of the isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial, and 22.9% were resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobials; these were consequently defined as multidrug resistant. We further found that 29 ampicillin-resistant isolates possessed genes encoding TEM-type (93.1%) and SHV-type (6.9%) ${\beta}$-lactamases. Among the 44 tetracycline-resistant isolates, tetA and tetC were found in 35 (79.5%) and 19 (43.2%), respectively, whereas tetB was detected in only three isolates (6.8%). With regard to virulence genes, merely 0.8% (n = 1) and 2.3% (n = 3) of the isolates were positive for the enteroaggregative E. coli-associated plasmid (pCVD432) gene and the enteropathogenic E. coli-specific attaching and effacing (eae) gene, respectively. Overall, these results not only provide novel insight into the necessity for seawater sanitation in Gomso Bay, but they help reduce the risk of contamination of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
