  • The objective of the research project is to develop the hybrid deodorizer for the removal of residual harmful gases generating during pretreatment process of biogas. This hybrid deodorizer is capable of treating harmful gases that contains hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), ammonia ($NH_3$) and other odor substances. This hybrid deodorizer reduced the hydrogen sulfide content from approximately 150~200 ppm to less than 16 ppm. These residual harmful gases were effectively removed in the effluent, achieving up to 97% removal of $H_2S$ and 94% removal of $NH_3$ after treatment using hybrid deodorizer.

  • The vertebrate genome contains an endogenous retrovirus that has been inherited from the past millions of years. Although approximately 8% of human chromosomal DNA consists of sequences derived from human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) fragments, most of the HERVs are currently inactive and noninfectious due to recombination, deletions, and mutations after insertion into the host genome. Several studies suggested that Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) factors are significantly related to certain cancers. However, only limited studies have been conducted to analyze the expression of HERV derived elements at protein levels in certain cancers. Herein, we analyzed the expression profiles of HERV-K envelope (Env) and HERV-R Env proteins in eleven different kinds of cancer tissues. Furthermore, the expression patterns of both protein and correlation with various clinical data in each tissue were analyzed. The expressions of both HERV-K Env and HERV-R Env protein were identified to be significantly high in most of the tumors compared with normal surrounding tissues. Correlations between HERV Env expressions and clinical investigations varied depending on the HERV types and cancers. Overall expression patterns of HERV-K Env and HERV-R Env proteins were different in every individual but a similar pattern of expressions was observed in the same individual. These results demonstrate the expression profiles of HERV-K and HERV-R Env proteins in various cancer tissues and provide a good reference for the association of endogenous retroviral Env proteins in the progression of various cancers. Furthermore, the results elucidate the relationship between HERV-Env expression and the clinical significance of certain cancers.

  • The Cretaceous magmatism in the Gyeongsang Basin, which intruded into the upper crust or extruded throughout ENE-trending volcanic belts in southern Korea, led to the formation of two contrasting metallogeinic provinces: the Haman-Gunbug-Goseong and the Euiseong. The Haman-Gunbug-Goseong metallogenic province in the southwestern portion of the Gyeongsang Basin consists of dominantly nonmarine sedimentary rocks (e.g., the Sindong and Hayang groups) which are rarely intercalated with andesitic pyroclastics and flows.

  • The Suryun gold-silver mine is one of precious metal occurrences discovered in the Hapcheon mineralized district on which lies the western margin of the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Basin, Korea. The district hosts deposits that include the early to late Cretaceous (108 ~ 88 Ma) Au-Ag-bearing vein systems (So et al. 1989; Shelton et al. 1990). (omitted)

  • In this study, we have examined the potential degradation of MTBE(methyl tert-butyl ether) by pure culture ENV425 and mixed culture obtained from gasoline contaminated soil using n-butane as the sources of carbon and energy. The results described in this study suggest that MTBE is degraded cometabolically by ENV425 and mixed culture grown on n-butane. Butane and MTBE degradation was completely inhibited by acetylene, which indicated that both substrates were degraded by butane monooxygenase. These cultures grown on n-butane generated TBA (tert-butyl alcohol) as a metabolite of MTBE oxidation. TBA Production was accounted 54.7% and 58.6% for MTBE oxidation by ENV425 and mixed culture, respectively. In resting cell experiments, however, TBA and TBF were detected as the oxidation products of MTBE by ENV425 and mixed culture. The observed maximal MTBE degradation rates were 52.3 and 62.3 (nmol MTBE degraded/hr/mg TSS) by ENV425 and mixed culture, respectively, and the observed maximal transformation yields ($T_y$) were 44.7 and 34.0 (nmol MTBE degraded/$\mu$mol n-butane utilized), and the observed maximal transformation capacities ($T_c$) were 199 and 226 ($\mu$mol MTBE degraded/mg TSS used).
