Microorganisms can attach firmly to food contact surface material and the resitance of adherent bacteria differ markedly from planktonic cells. Therefore, adherent cells are a potential contamination problem to the food preparation because of their high resistance. to sanitation and heat treatment. This study was carried out in order to investigate growth and decontamination of Listeria monocytogenes attached to stainless steel, glass and plastic. Listeria monocytogenes cells could attach to all types of surface at three temperatures after contact times for 24 hrs. The numbers of adherent cells were greater at higher temperatures, but not increased with incubation time. When recovery of adherent cells was investigated, after 24 grs, the numbers of adherent cells were about 10$^{7}$ , 10$^{10}$ , 11$^{11}$ at 4$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, 3$0^{\circ}C$ repectively. Planctonic cells decreased by 2 log cycles after exposure to the domestic sanitizer. Adherent cells showed high resistance to domestic sanitizers and that was dependent upon surface materials studied, being greatest on plastic followed by stainless steel and glass. Adherent cells were more resistant to heat treatment than planktonic cells. When adherent cells were exposed to the temperature of 5$0^{\circ}C$, 55$^{\circ}C$, 57.5$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, their populations did not decrease significantly. When the temprature increased to 6$0^{\circ}C$, cells attached to all types of surfaces were completely inactivated for 10 min.

수중에서 유기합성화합물의 oxidative coupling을 통한 제거에 촉매제로서 식물체의 직접적인 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 제지, 염료 및 전자회사 등에서 배출되고 있는 phenol성 화합물인 2,4-DCP를 이용하였다. 이 제거반응은 식물체에 포함된 산화환원효소에 의해 매개되어지는 oxidative coupling반응에 의해 유기독성화합물들간의 중합 반응으로 생성된 polymer가 침전됨으로서 야기되었다. 여러식물체들을 선별하여 이들 식물체가 가지고 있는 peroxidase의 활성을 측정한 결과 냉이에서 가장 높은 peroxidase의 활성이 관찰되었고 순무, 고구마, 배추 그리고 무 뿌리의 순이었다. Peroxidase의 활성이 비교적 높은 것으로 나타난 순무와 냉이를 이용해 다양한 실험조건하에서 2,4-DCP의 제거정도를 조사한 결과 2,4-DCP의 최대제거는 냉이의 경우 3분 이내, 순무의 경우 15분 이내로 아주 신속하게 이루어졌으며, 실험을 수행한 pH 전 범위(pH 3.0-8.0)에서 높은 제거율(90% 이상)을 유지하였다. 전자수용체로 작용하는 hydrogen peroxide를 9mM 첨가하였을 때 최대 제거율을 보였으며, 그 농도를 증가시키더라도 제거율은 더 이상 증가되지 않았다. 초기농도를 달리하여 냉이와 순무에 의한 2,4-DCP의 제거율을 조사한 결과 냉이로 매개된 2,4-DCP의 제거율은 초기농도 1,600ppm까지 90% 이상의 제거율을 나타내었으나, 순무로 매개된 2,4-DCP의 경우 초기농도 1,200ppm까지 90%이상의 제거율을 나타내다가 초기농도가 1,600ppm로 증가되었을 때 78.8%로 제거율이 감소되어 유기독성물질의 초기농도는 식물체를 이용한 유기독성물질의 제거에 약간의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

투입 산출변수의 외생적 흐름에 기초한 전통적인 자료포락분석은 생산활동의 모든 내부과정을 'black box'로 간주하며 각 생산단계의 상호작용에 대한 정보를 고려하지 못한 한계를 지닌다. 이에 생산과정을 세분화하고 각 생산단계의 효율성을 연계하여 추정하는 Network DEA 방식이 최근 활발히 적용되고 있으며 특히 환경효율성의 추정과정을 생산 및 저감활동으로 구분한 연구가 대표적이다. 본고는 한국의 51개 산업단지를 대상으로 Network DEA에 기초한 환경효율성 추정을 시도하였으며, 분석결과 추정치의 변별력, 비효율의 발생단계, 기타 외생변수와의 통계적 관련성 등의 관점에서 전통적 DEA 추정결과에 비해 우수한 점을 확인할 수 있었다.

An unique extraction chromatographic column (TOA: Tri-n-octylamine on Teflon powder) with a two-stage sample loading was prepared to separate Np and Pu from the environmental matrix. Np and Pu were efficiently retained in 4 M $HNO_3$ medium on the column and easily eluted with 0.02 M oxalic acid in 0.16 M HNO$_3$at $95^{\circ}C$. The separated solutions were free from most of the matrix elements and were aspirated into the ICP-MS directly. The decontamination factor for 238U is more than 104. The instrumental detection limit for 237Np was 0.46 pg mL-l ($1.2{\times}10_{-5}$Bq mL-l), and for 239Pu was 0.48 pg mL-l ($1.1{\times}10_{-3}$ Bq mL-l). The feasibility for the determination of both elements was proved by analysing IAEA-135 reference samples, the measured values agreed with the recommended reference value.

To investigate the occurrence and species diversity of mycobacteria in waters, surface water samples were collected monthly from the Han River and tap water samples at the terminal sites of the distribution system. Mycobacteria in each water sample were isolated by decontamination using cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and cultivation on Middlebrook 7H10 agar, and then identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PRA) and sequencing of the 65-kDa heat-shock protein gene (hsp65 gene). Mycobacteria were detected in 59% of the surface water samples and 26% of the tap water samples. Over half of the 158 isolates could not be identified by hsp65 PRA and gene sequencing, and several identification discrepancies were observed between the two methods. The most frequently isolated species was Mycobacterium gordonae in surface water and M. lentiflavum in tap water. M. avium complex (MAC), the most important pathogen among environmental mycobacteria, was detected in the surface water samples but not found in the tap water samples. The result demonstrated that water is an important environmental source of mycobacteria and the combined application of hsp65 PRA and sequencing was more reliable than hsp65 PRA alone to accurately identify mycobacteria present in water.

현재 경수로형 원자력발전소의 일차계통 냉각수 정화를 위해 사용되는 이온교환방법은 제염효과가 우수하고 공정이 단순하며 조작이 간편하기 때문에 광범위하게 활용되고 있으나 비금속성분도 함께 제거하여 수지의 수명이 단축되고 폐이온교환수지가 발생되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 일차계통 냉각수 정화를 위해 사용되는 이온교환수지의 대체공정으로서 전기투석과 이온교환이 결합된 전기탈이온법의 사용가능성을 조사하기 위해 모의 용액을 이용하여 다양한 실험조건하에서 수행하였다. 실험결과 유입유량이 증가할수록 제거율은 증가하고 전력소모는 감소하였다. 금속성분 제거율에서 제염계수 1000으로 일정한 경향을 나타내었으며 전력소모 면에서는 TDS 3 ppm이하를 기준으로 유입유량이 $2.0{\ell}/min$일 때 $40.3mWh/{\ell}$ 이었다. 유입유속이 동일한 조건에서는 희석실에 채운 이온 교환수지의 함량이 증가할수록 금속성분 제거율과 전력소모에서 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다. 이온 교환수지를 채운 전기탈이온 공정은 이온교환수지 자체에 의한 수리적 저항과 현탁질에 의한 수지의 오염으로 인해 운전이 계속될수록 유량이 감소하게 된다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 이온교환수지 대신 이온전도성 스페이서를 설치하여 실험한 결과 유입유량 문제는 해결할 수 있었으나 전력소모와 금속성분 제거율 및 전류효율 면에서 비효율적인 것으로 평가되었다. 전기탈이온 공정의 연속운전에서도 금속성분 제거율에서 제염계수가 1000으로 안정적인 수준을 유지하였다.

Wheat is the most abundant crop in the world, accounting for one third of the world's population diet. In Ukraine, wheat is in fact, in addition to its nutritional value, a national symbol of the state. Therefore, the main thesis on the development of modern plant growing in Ukraine is the reduction of costs and the introduction of innovative technologies. The quality of grain and seed depends on many factors, namely: agro-climatic conditions, sowing condition of the seed material, quality characteristics of the soil, yielding properties of seeds, pre-sowing seed treatment. etc. For this purpose, the photosynthesis and intensity of photosynthesis need to be limited to the width of the leaf and the height of the leaves by a smaller cut of the stem. It is extremely important to ensure that the head and side pagons of wheat are in good condition. All parameters are often secured by the technology of grain preparation before delivery. Prior to this technology, it is possible to introduce processing of the material in the form for the development of the material. This article presents the effectiveness of the use of infrared irradiation for the pre-sowing treatment of winter wheat seeds in Sekobra Research, Germany.

전기탈이온 장치를 통한 니켈이온의 이동메커니즘이 이온교환섬유의 전기화학적 특성을 이용하여 조사되었다. 포러스 플러그 모델과 확장된 넌스트-플라크 식이 니켈이온의 이동 현상의 해석을 위해서 적용되었다. 적용된 모델을 통해 전기탈이온 시스템의 성능증가는 이온교환섬유를 통해 변화되는 이동도에 기인하는 것이 아니라, 이온교환매개체의 자체 전도도에 의해 일어나는 전류 유발 효과에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 최적의 전기탈이온 공정운전이 최소화된 전기적 재생영역하에서 일어남을 본 연구를 통해 제시되었다.

Biopulping is defined as the treatment of wood chips with lignin-degrading fungi prior to pulping. Fungal pretreatment prior to mechanical pulping reduces electrical energy requirements during refining or increases mill throughput, improves paper strength, reduces the pitch content, and reduces the environmental impact of pulping. Our recent work involved scaling up the biopulping process towards the industrial level, investigating both the engineering and economic feasibility. We envision the process to be done in either a chip-pile or silo-based system for which several factors need to be considered: the degree of decontamination, a hospitable environment for the fungus, and the overall process economics. Currently, treatment of the chips with low-pressure steam is sufficient for decontamination and a simple, forced ventilation system maintains the proper temperature, humidity, and moisture conditions, thus promoting uniform growth of the fungus. The pilot-scale trial resulted in the successful treatment of 4 tons of wood chips (dry weight basis) with results comparable to those on a laboratory. Larger, 40-ton trials were also successful, with energy savings and paper properties comparable with the laboratory scale. The overall economics of the process also look very favorable and can result in significant annual savings to the mill. Although the current research has focused on biopulping for mechanical pulping, it is also beneficial for sulfite chemical pulping and some applications to recycled fiber have been investigated.

Background: Residential areas have some factors on the external exposure of residents, who usually spend a long time in these areas. Although various survey has been carried out by the government or the research institutions after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, the mechanism of radiocesium inventory in the terrestrial zone has not been cleared. To better evaluate the radiation environment, this study investigated the temporal changes in air dose rate and ¹³⁷Cs inventories (Bq/m²) in residential areas and agricultural fields. Materials and Methods: Air dose rate and ¹³⁷Cs inventories were investigated in residential areas located in an evacuation zone at 5-8 km from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. From December 2014 to September 2018, the air dose rate distribution was investigated through a walking survey (backpack survey), which was conducted by operators carrying a γ-ray detector on their backs. Additionally, from December 2014 to January 2021, the ¹³⁷Cs inventories on paved and permeable grounds were also measured using a portable γ-ray detector. Results and Discussion: In the areas where decontamination was not performed, the air dose rate decreased faster in residential areas than in agricultural fields. Moreover, the ¹³⁷Cs inventory on paved surfaces decreased with time owing to the horizontal wash-off, while the ¹³⁷Cs inventory on permeable surfaces decreased dramatically owing to the decontamination activities. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the horizontal wash-off of ¹³⁷Cs on paved surfaces facilitated the air dose rate decrease in residential areas to a greater extent compared with agricultural fields, in which the air dose rate decreased because of the vertical migration of ¹³⁷Cs. Results of this study can explain the faster environmental restoration in a residential environment reported by previous studies.
