  • This study deals with micellar effects on dephosphorylation of diphenyl-4- nitrophenylphosphate (DPNPPH), diphenyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate (DPNPlN) and isopropylphenyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphinate (IPNPlN) mediated by $OH^\Theta$ or o-iodosobenzoate ion $(IB^\Theta)$ in aqueous and CTAX solutions. Dephosphorylation of DPNPPH, DPNPIN and IPNPIN mediated by $OH^\Theta$ or o-iodosobenzoate ion $(IB^\Theta)$ is relatively slow in aqueous solution. The reactions in CTAX micellar solutions are, however, much accelerated because CTAX micelles can accommodate both reactants in their Stem layer in which they can easily react, while hydrophilic $OH^\Theta\;(or\;IB^\Theta)$ and hydrophobic substrates are not mixed in water. Even though the concentrations $(>10^{-3}\;M)\;of\;OH^\Theta\;(or\;IB^\Theta)$ in CTAX solutions are much larger amounts than those $(6\times10^{-6}\;M)$ of substrates, the rate constants of the dephosphorylations are largely influenced by the change of concentration of the ions, which means that the reactions are not followed by the pseudo first order kinetics. In comparison to effect of the counter ions of CTAX in the reactions, CTACI is more effective on the dephosphorylation of substrates than CTABr due to easier expelling of $Cl^\Theta$ ion by $OH^\Theta\;(or\;IB^\Theta)$ ion from the micelle, because of easier solvation of $Cl^\Theta$ ion by water molecules. The reactivity of IPNPlN with $OH^\Theta\;(or\;IB^\Theta)$ is lower than that of DPNPlN. The reason seems that the 'bulky' isopropyl group of IPNPIN hinders the attack of the nucleophiles.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the amount of glucosinolates (GSLs) in kale sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala) ('TBC') according to different concentrations of sulfur ions in sprout's nutrient solutions (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mM) and to different light sources [Fluorescent lamp, Red, Blue, and Mix (R+B) LED]. Kale sprouts were cultivated in a growth chamber for 13 days in sulfur solutions. Kale sprouts were treated with fluorescent lamp and LED light sources for 5 days, from eight days after sowing to harvest. Amount of seven types of GSLs (progoitrin, sinigrin, 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, gluconasturtiin, and neoglucobrassicin) were measured in kale sprouts after harvest. The total GSL content was influenced by different sulfur solution concentration, and it was the highest at S 0.5 mM ($172.54{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$) and the lowest at S 2.0 mM ($163.09{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$). The GSL content was influenced by different light source, and it was the highest with Red LED ($159.23{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$) and the lowest with Blue LED ($147.57{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$). As the sulfur solution concentration increased under all light source, progoitrin and sinigrin contents tended to decrease while glucobrassicin content showed an upward tendency for all of the light sources. The content of glucobrassicin was higher than that of progitrin when treated with sulfur solutions for all LED light sources. Sinigrin, which has excellent anti-cancer effects, showed the highest rate (92.2%) among all the GSLs, under all of the light sources.

  • Vitrification methods are convenient for cryopreserving plant specimens, as the specimens are plunged directly into liquid nitrogen (LN) from ambient temperatures. However, tissues and species with poor survival are still not uncommon. The development of vitrification solutions with high survival that cover a range of materials is important. We attempted to develop new vitrification solutions using bromegrass cells and found that VSL, comprising 20% (w/v) glycerol, 30% (w/v) ethylene glycol, 5% (w/v) sucrose, 10% (w/v) DMSO and 10 mM $CaCl_2$, gave the highest survival following cryopreservation, as determined by fluorescein diacetate staining. However, the cryopreserved cells showed little regrowth, for unknown reasons. To check its applicability, VSL was used to cryopreserve gentian axillary buds and the performance was compared with those of conventional vitrification solutions. Excised gentian stem segments with axillary buds (shoot apices) were two-step precultured with sucrose to induce osmotic tolerance prior to cryopreservation. Gentian axillary buds cryopreserved using VSL following the appropriate preculturing approach exhibited 78% survival (determined by the regrowth capacity), which was comparable to PVS2 and PVS1 and far better than PVS3. VSL had a wider optimal incubation time (20-45 min) than PVS2 and was more suitable for cryopreserving gentian buds. The optimal duration of the first step of the preculture was 7-11 days, and preculturing with sucrose and glucose gave a much higher survival than fructose and maltose. VSL was able to vitrify during cooling to LN temperatures, as glass transition and devitrification points were detected in the warming profiles from differential scanning calorimetry. VSL and its derivative, VSL+, seem to have the potential to be good alternatives to PVS2 for the cryopreservation of some materials, as exemplified by gentian buds.

  • 본 연구에서는 지반 보강재로 폐타이어를 사용함에 있어서 환경적인 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 시험은 12개의 침출수 발생장치 속에 모래와 타이어조각들을 섞은 후 세 가지 조건의 용액을 각각 순환시킨 침출수에 대하여 화학적분석과 생물학적 독성영향을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 검출된 모든 금속원소의 오염농도는 우리나라 먹는물 수질기준치보다 훨씬 낮았고, 철을 제외한 모든 금속원소의 농도가 시간이 지남에 따라 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 선행된 시험과 비교한 결과 노출되는 금속의 비표면적이 클수록 즉, 타이어칩, 타이어조각, 전체타이어의 순서로 오염물질의 농도가 크게 검출되었다. 형광성 박테리아를 이용한 독성검사의 결과에서는 독성이 발견되는 경향을 보이지 않아 폐타이어에서 나오는 침출수가 유기체에 유해한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Concern about global environment has been increasing in recent years. Efforts to minimize the environmental impact to the globe as well as human beings have increased, especially in the late twentieth century. The study researches one of the solutions for the environmentally friendly building construction, which can contribute to sustaining the world environment. Assessment and proposals are made for high-rise apartments, one of the most popular construction types nowadays in Korea. Since the volume of high-rise apartment construction is so great, a small improvement in each building will make a great contribution. Assessments are made over the life-span of apartment buildings. A tool named EIAHA (Environmental Impact Assessment for High-rise Apartment) has been made through references from western examples, mainly in the UK. The components of EIAHA include passive design strategies, building materials, energy consumption during building operation and management/maintenance. Although the issues are on a global scale, solutions are sought on regional scale. Korean high-rise apartments are assessed with the tool and suggestions for sustainable development are made mainly for improvement of embodied energy of building materials and the life of buildings.

  • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major concern because of their potential mutagenic and carcinogenic risks to human beings. One of these harmful, yet commonly observed PAHs is pyrene. Pyrene is one of the 16 PAHs listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as priority pollutants. The purposes of this research are to develop a method of pretreatment for PAH contaminants prior to a typical biological treatment and to demonstrate the biodegradablity of these compounds. Since pyrene is non-polar, hexane was chosen as a solvent to effectively dissolve pyrene. Pyrene solutions were treated with ozone, as it has hish oxidation capacity and electrophilic character. The intermediates and byproducts of pyrene were dissolved in alkaline water at pH 11.4 and neutralized to test for $BOD_5$, COD, and toxicity. These solutions were further ozonated and assessed of biodegradability. The first-order rate constant to was found to be between $0.121day^{-1}$ and $0.081 day^{-1}$, depending on the duration of reozonation. The $BOD_5/COD$ ratio was found to 0.66. The toxicity test showed that after 10 min of reozonation time, the byproducts and intermediates of pyrene were within the lion-toxic range of ${\pm}10%$ inhibition for E-Coli bacteria.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of optical brightening agents (OBA) on the chemical degradation characteristics of paper cellulose during humid heating aging. Three different types of OBAs were applied to a filter paper by dipping it in OBA solutions whose concentrations were controlled to 1% and 2%. The filter papers with an OBA were artificially aged at $80^{\circ}C$ and 65% RH, and the changes in pH of paper and viscosity of cellulose were evaluated. Their functional groups were also analyzed by ATR-FTIR (at-tenuated total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). It was found that OBAs influenced the chemical degradation of paper cellulose during humid heating aging. Higher concentration of OBA solutions accelerated the degradation of paper cellulose. Especially, after aging for 12 days, the paper cellulose treated with the tetra-type OBA were the most significantly aged among the three types of OBAs. It was assumed that pH of OBA solutions affected the aging characteristics.

  • In this study, zirconium fumarate of metal-organic framework (MOF-801) was solvothermally synthesized at 130 ℃ and characterized through powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses and porosity measurements from N2 sorption isotherms at 77 K. The ability of MOF-801 to act as an adsorbent for the phosphate removal from aqueous solutions at 25 ℃ was investigated. The phosphate removal efficiency (PRE) obtained by 0.05 g/L adsorbent dose at an initial phosphate concentration of 60 ppm after 3 h was 72.47%, whereas at 5 and 20 ppm, the PRE was determined to be 100% and 89.88%, respectively, after 30 min for the same adsorbent dose. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and pore volume of the bare MOF-801 sample were 478.25 ㎡/g and 0.52 ㎤/g, respectively, whereas after phosphate adsorption (at an initial concentration of 60 ppm, 3 h), the BET surface area and pore volume were reduced to 331.66 ㎡/g and 0.39 ㎤/g, respectively. The experimental data of kinetic (measured at initial concentrations of 5, 20 and 60 ppm) and isotherm measurements followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and the Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. This study demonstrates that MOF-801 is a promising material for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solutions.
