유기 반도체의 전하 이동 특성은 그 구조적 특성에 매우 민감하다. 따라서 재료의 특성을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 정확하게 구조를 모델링할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 OLED에 널리 쓰이는 ${\alpha}$-NPD의 구조를 분자동역학을 통해 예측하기 위하여 OPLS-AA force field를 기반으로 하여 dihedral coefficient를 최적화하였다. DFT 계산을 기준으로 이를 근사하는 dihedral coefficient를 계산하였으며 ${\alpha}$-NPD의 중앙에 위치한 biphenyl dihedral의 경우, $K_2=2.74kcal/mol$, $K_4=-0.12kcal/mol$을 얻었다. 또한 이를 이용하여 melt-quench 방법을 통해 ${\alpha}$-NPD의 비정질 구조를 모델링하였다. 계산으로 얻어진 밀도는 $1.11g/cm^3$이며 실험값은 $1.12g/cm^3$이다.

그래핀을 구성하는 탄소 원자는 모두 표면에 존재하기 때문에, 맞닿아 있는 물질에 따라 그래핀의 물리적 특성에 민감한 영향을 미치기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 라만분광법과 원자 힘 현미경(atomic force microscopy, AFM)을 이용하여 통상적인 열처리 조건에서 그래핀에 탄화수소가 흡착될 수 있는 가능성을 탐구하였다. 산소가 없는 조건에서 열처리된 그래핀으로부터 D, G, 2D 봉우리와 겹쳐지는 폭이 넓은 새로운 라만 봉우리들이 관찰되었다. 열처리 시간, 온도 및 진공도에 따른 라만 스펙트럼의 변화와AFM에 의해 확인된 표면의 구조 변화로부터 새로이 관찰된 라만 봉우리는 탄화수소의 탄화에 의해 그래핀의 표면에 형성된 비결정성 탄소물질(amorphous carbon)임을 확인하였다. 기계적 박리법과 화학기상증착법으로 시료를 준비할 때 사용된 폴리머 잔유물이 열처리 과정에서 탄화수소를 배출하는 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구는 그래핀 소자의 작동에 있어서 환경적인 효과를 이해하고 탄화에 의해 그래핀 표면에 만들어진 비결정질 탄소를 정량화하는데 도움을 줄 것이다.

10월 19일부터 20일까지 스위스 제네바에서는 WTO 일반이사회와 농업협상 특별회의가 진행되었다. 파스칼 라미 WTO 사무총장 취임 이후 가속화된 DDA 농업협상이 타결의 실마리를 찾을 수 있을지 주목되는 가운데 진행되었던 이번 협상은, EU(유럽연합) 내부의 의견 조율이 되지 않아 당초 예상과는 달리 교착 상태에 들어갔다. 하지만 미국과 G20(브라질, 인도 등 농산물 수출 개도국 그룹)은 민감품목의 숫자를 전체 농산물의 1%로 설정할 것을 요구하였고, G10(농산물 수입국 그룹)을 제외한 상당수의 국가들이 관세상한 설정과 급격한 관세 감축을 요구하고 있어, 우리 농업에 매우 불리한 상황으로 전개되고 있다. 이에 본 연합회는 정책조정실 한민수 차장을 10월 18일부터 23일까지 제네바 현지에 파견하여 DDA 농업협상 상황을 살펴보고 대응책을 모색하고자 하였다. 제네바 출장을 마친 한민수 차장과의 인터뷰 내용을 월간 한농연 11월호 지면을 통해 소개한다.

A number of epidemiological studies as well as biological experiments, showed that genistein, one of the isoflavone, prevents prostate cancer occurrence. In this study, we showed that genistein inhibited the cell proliferation of human promyeoltic leukemia HL-60 cells and induced G2/M phase arrest. In addition, combination of genistein treatment and ${\gamma}$-irradiation displayed synergistic effect in apoptotic cell death of HL-60 cells. This means that the repair of genistein-induced DNA damage was hindered by ${\gamma}$-radiation and thus cell death was increased. In conclusion, genistein is one of the important chemicals that sensitize radiation-induced cell death.

The characteristics of aquatic light fields are generally reflected in the visual systems of fishes inhabiting them. Therefore, research on light sensitivity of fish is useful to explain the correlation between the visual function and habitat, behavior and distribution of fish. Rockfish is an important species in coastal ecology and also one of the main species for culturing in Korea. To make a contribution on the maintenance of the fish resources and understanding the ecology of the rockfish, the visual spectral sensitivities of the dark-adapted rockfishes were measured in the range of visible light (405~660 nm) using a light source of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In order to assess electrophysiological response of the fish, the ERGs (electroretinograms) of the dark-adapted rockfishes were recorded on a data logger (12 bits) and a laptop computer. Juvenile (n=5; weight: $20.3{\pm}5.2g$; total length: $10.3{\pm}0.7cm$) and adult (n=5; weight: $87.8{\pm}21.8g$; total length: $18.1{\pm}1.3cm$) rockfishes were used in experiment. The visual threshold of juvenile and adult rockfish were 11.66 (log quanta/$cm^2/s$) and 11.81 (log quanta/$cm^2/s$) in 574 nm, respectively. The peak wavelength of the spectral sensitivity in the dark-adapted juvenile and adult rockfish was commonly 551 nm (series of green color). Collectively, these results demonstrate that the rockfish has suitable visual capabilities for inhabiting coastal water in Korea.

Gas exchange rates and concentrations of ascorbate and glutathlone were measured in needles of eastern white pine(Pinus strohltr) trees differing in foliar sensitivity to ambient oxidant pollution during a ten month period beginning in mid-June, 1988. Current-year needle dry mass and length was 60 to 75% and 45 to 60% less, respectively, in sens~tive trees than in a tolerant tree. Net photosynthesis ($P_n$) and needle conductance ($g_n$) were greatest in the tolerant individual through late September when the rates begin to decline In trees. Needle transpiration rates showed a trend similar to $P_n$ and $g_n$. Ascorbate and total glutathione concentrations in current-year needles increased through the summer and fall, reached a maximum in mid-winter, and then decreased in the spring. Consistently throughout the year, ascorbate concentration was highest in the tolerant tree until the initial springtime decline began in April. The difference In needle ascorbate between the tolerant and sensitive individuals was greater in the summer months (25 to 30%) than in the winter months (8 to 19%). Glutathione content was similar, as was the ratio or oxidized /reduced glutathione, in both tolerant and sensitive trees.

Octopus minor (O. minor) is widely distributed along the coastal regions of Korea, but most of them are caught in southern waters which are associated with one of the important fisheries stock. At present, O. minor from China has been introduced to the fishery markets in Korea. Here, we attempt to discriminate their origin for Korea or China using molecular techniques. Based on the O. minor mitochondrial DNA sequence, we developed a PCR-based origin discrimination system. The assay specificity was assessed by testing four individuals of O. minor from Sangdong, China, as well as 20 additional O. minor from Namhae, Muan, Yeosu and Jindo, Korea. Only four isolates of O. minor originated from China tested as positive in our distinction system. All PCR-positive products yielded identical sequences from Chinese O. minor, whereas Korean O. minor appeared to be PCR amplification. This result suggested that the primers used in this study are O. minor species specific, especially originated from China. The detection system appeared to be positive results in the use of 0.1 ng of Chinese O. minor DNA as template, however, the Korean O. minor even using $1{\mu}g$ of DNA showed no amplification. Consequently, the assay provides a simple, rapid and accurate method for the detection of Chinese O. minor.

The aim of this work is to provide new experimental data on the pyrolysis characteristics and the minimum ignition energy (MIE) by using the same high-density polyethylene (HDPE) powder in domestic HDPE dust explosion accident. To evaluate the explosion sensitivity of HDPE, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and MIE apparatus (MIKE-3, K$\ddot{u}$hner) was conducted. The measurements showed the volume median diameter of $61.6{\mu}m$ but the particle number density of 98 % in the range $0.4{\sim}4{\mu}m$. The ignition temperature from the results of TGA and DSC in HDPE dust layers was observed in the range of $380{\sim}490^{\circ}C$. MIE was measured under 1 mJ in the HDPE dust concentration of $1200{\sim}1800g/m^3$, it was found that the ratio of particle number density in the range $0.4{\sim}4{\mu}m$ was very high (98%).

This study aimed at analyzing the sensitivity of ozone simulation in accordance with the meteorological nudging for a high nocturnal ozone episode. To demonstrate the effectiveness of nudging methods (e.g., nudging techniques and application domains), the following six experiments were designed: (1) control without nudging, (2) experiment with application of observation nudging to all domains (domain 1~4), and (3)~(6) experiments with application of grid nudging to domain 1, domain 1~2, domain 1~3 and all domains, respectively. As a result, the meteorological nudging had a direct (improvement of input data) and indirect (estimate natural emission) effect on ozone simulation. Nudging effects during the daytime were greater than those during the nighttime due to low accuracy of wind direction during the nighttime. On comparison of the nudging techniques, the experiments in which grid nudging was applied showed more improved results than the experiments in which observation nudging was applied. At this time point, the simulated concentrations were generally similar to the observed concentrations due to the increase in the nudging effect when grid nudging was applied up to the sub-domain. However, for high nocturnal ozone uptakes, the experiment in which grid nudging was applied do domain 1~3 showed better results than the other experiments. This is because, when grid nudging was applied to the high resolution domain (e.g., domain 4 with 1 km), the local characteristics were removed due to the smoothing effects of meteorological conditions.
