고순도 규사 원료를 열처리하는 경우, 불순물로 포함되어 있는 미량성분이 quartz의 전이과정에 미치는 영향 및 전이 경로에 대하여 조사하였다. 미량성분의 영향을 조사한 결과, 규사 중의 미량성분 함량이 많아지면 cristobalite 생성량은 많아지며, quartz의 소멸온도 및 cristobalite의 생성온도는 낮아졌다. quartz의 전이경로를 조사한 결과 quartz $\rightarrow$ 천이비정질상 $\rightarrow$ melt (T) 및 quartz $\rightarrow$ 천이비정질상 $\rightarrow$ cristobalite $\rightarrow$ melt (C)의 경로가 항상 공존하며, 미량성분이 적은 경우는 T 경로가 우세하지만, 미량성분이 많은 경우는 C 경로가 우세한 것으로 규명되었다. 또한 XRD를 이용한 결정질 함량의 분석 결과로 부터 계산한 밀도와 pycnometer로 측정한 밀도를 비교한 결과 서로 일치하였다. 규사를 용융하여 석영유리를 제조하는 경우,특정온도에서 규사의 팽창 정도를 유추할 수 있을 것이다.

The retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor gamma ($ROR{\gamma}$) plays critical roles in regulation of development, immunity and metabolism. As transcription factor usually forms a protein complex to function, thus capturing and dissecting of the $ROR{\gamma}$ protein complex will be helpful for exploring the mechanisms underlying those functions. After construction of the recombinant tandem affinity purification (TAP) plasmid, pMSCVpuro $ROR{\gamma}$-CTAP(SG), the nuclear localization of $ROR{\gamma}$-CTAP(SG) fusion protein was verified. Following isolation of $ROR{\gamma}$ protein complex by TAP strategy, seven candidate interacting proteins were identified. Finally, the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) were confirmed to interplay with $ROR{\gamma}$ by co-immunoprecipitation. Interference of HSP90 or/and RIP140 genes resulted in dramatically decreased expression of CYP2C8 gene, the $ROR{\gamma}$ target gene. Data from this study demonstrate that HSP90 and RIP140 proteins interact with $ROR{\gamma}$ protein in a complex format and function as co-activators in the $ROR{\gamma}$-mediated regulatory processes of HepG2 cells.

This study examined the emission characteristics of impure gas-like hydrogen sulfide and siloxane contained in landfill gas (LFG) and investigated the effect of impure gas on LFG utility facilities. As a result of an LFG component analysis from eight landfills in the same environment, hydrogen sulfide averaged 436 ppmv (22-1,211 ppmv), and the concentration of total siloxane averaged 7.95 mg/$m^3$ (1.85-21.18 mg/$m^3$). In case of siloxane concentration by component, the ratio of D4 (average 3.79 mg/$m^3$) and D5 (average 2.64 mg/$m^3$) indicated the highest level. Different kinds of scales were found on the gas air heater (GAH) and inside the boiler. The major component of scale from the GAH was $Fe_2O_3$ of 38.5%, and it was caused by hydrogen sulfide. Other scale was found on the bottom and the wall of the boiler and the scale was silicon dioxide of 92.8% and 98.9%. The silicon dioxide scale was caused by combustion of siloxane. As a result of a scanning electron microscopy analysis, the structure of the silicon dioxide scale from the boiler was an immediate filamentous type. Consequently, as silicon dioxide scale is bulky, such bad effects were worsening, as an interruption in heat conduction, increase in fuel consumption, damage to the boiler by overheating, and clogged emission pipeline could occur in LFG utility facilities.

The Small Punch Test (SPT) was developed to evaluate the softening and embrittlement of materials such as power plants and nuclear fusion reactors by taking samples in the field. Specimens used in the SPT are very thin and small disk-shaped compared to specimens for general tensile test, and thus have economic advantages in terms of miniaturization and repeatability of the test. The cryogenic SPT can also be miniaturized and has a significantly lower heat capacity than conventional universal test machines. This leads to reduced cooling and warm-up times. In this study, the cryogenic SPT was developed by modifying the existing room temperature SPT to be cooled by liquid nitrogen using a super bellows and a thermal insulation structure. Since the cryogenic SPT was first developed, basic experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of it. For the validation, aluminum alloy 6061- T6 specimens were tested for mechanical properties at room and cryogenic temperature. The results of the corrected tensile properties from the SPT experiment results were compared with known room temperature and cryogenic properties. Based on the correction results, the effectiveness of the cryogenic SPT test was confirmed, and the surface fracture characteristics of the material were analyzed using a 3d image scanner. In the future, we plan to conduct property evaluation according to the development of various alloy materials.

Members of the multifunctional Cyp family have been isolated from a wide range of organisms. However, few functional studies have been performed on the role of these proteins as chaperones in red alga. For studying the function of cDNA GjCyp-1 isolated from the red alga (Griffithsia japonica), we expressed and purified a recombinant GjCyp-1 containing a hexahistidine tag at the amino-terminus in Escherichia coli. An expressed fusion protein, $H_6GjCyp-1$ maintained the stability of E. coli proteins up to $50^{\circ}C$. For a functional bioassay for recombinant $H_6GjCyp-1$, the viability of E. coli cells overexpressing $H_6GjCyp-1$ was compared with that of cells not expressing $H_6GjCyp-1$ at $50^{\circ}C$. After high temperature treatment for 1 h, E. coli overexpressing $H_6GjCyp-1$ survived about three times longer than E. coli lacking $H_6GjCyp-1$. Measurement of the light scattering of luciferase (luc) showed that GjCyp-1 prevents the aggregation of luc during mild heat stress and that the thermoprotective activity of GjCyp-1 is blocked by cyclosporin A (CsA), an inhibitor of Cyps. Furthermore, the Cyp-CsA complex inhibited the growth of E. coli under normal conditions. The results of the GjCyp-1 bioassays as well as in vitro studies strongly suggest that Cyp confers thermotolerance to E. coli.

Objectives : Hippocampus, a region of temporal lobe, plays an important role in the pathogenic mechanisms of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, depression and temporal lobe epilepsy. This research is designed to investigate hippocampal changes after acupuncture stimulation at Shinmun(HT7) using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE). Methods : On postnatal-day 15, rat pups were randomly devided into Normal(NOR) or HT7 group. All of Pups kept with their mothers for 7 days, but pups in HT7 group received acupuncture stimulation at HT7 daily. On postnatal-day 21, hippocampus of each rat pup was dissceted 30 minutes after last acupuncture stimulation and the protein expressions were investigated using 2-DE. Results : After acupuncture stimulation at HT7, expression of 20 proteins were significantly increased. Succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-like, transketolase, aconitate hydratase and phosphoglucomutase-1 were related to glucose methabolism. Eukaryotic initiation factor(eIF) 4A-II, eIF 4A-III, mitochondrial Tu translation elongation factor and chain A of crystal structure of the 70-Kda heat shock cognate protein involve in the protein synthesis in ribosome. Tubulin ${\beta}$-4 chain, tubulin T ${\beta}$-15 and tubulin ${\alpha}$-1B chain comprise cytoskeleton. Glutathione S-transferase(GST) ${\omega}$-1, GST P and GST Yb-3 can reduce oxidative stress. ${\beta}$-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein is required for vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase plays a major role in lipid biosynthesis, creatine kinase U-type catalyses the conversion of creatine and consumes adenosine triphosphate to create phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate. Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit alpha and voltage depedent anion-selective channel protein 2 were also increased. Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture stimulation at HT7 may enhance glucose and lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, cytoskeletal substance and anti-oxidative stress in hippocampus.
