Agmatine, an amine and organic cation, reduced $H_2O_2$ that was generated by hyperglycemia, and transcription factors such as NF-${\kappa}B$ and AP-1 activity in the mesangial cells that were exposed to high glucose. However, spermine which shares a strong nucleophilic structure with agmatine decreased the $H_2O_2$ levels and AP-1, but not the NF-${\kappa}B$ activity. Possible roles for agmatine and spermine in decreasing fibronectin are discussed, and the signaling pathway for agmatine-reduced fibronectin accumulation is presented.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been prepared by means of the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method using vertical-capacitor electrodes. The deposition rata in our experiment is relatively small compared with that in the conventional PECVD methods, which implies that the accumulation of the neutral $CH_n$ radicals on the substrates due to the gravitational movement may not contribute to the deposition of DLC films. The hardness and the transparency were measured as a function of the ratio of the partial pressure of $CH_4-H_2$ mixtures or the hydrogen contents of specimens. The coefficients of friction between DLC films and a $Si_3N_4$ tip measured by using a lateral force microscope are in the range of 0.024 to 0.033 which depend on the hydrogen contents in DLC, and the surface roughness depends mainly on the deposition rate. The optical gaps increase with increasing the hydrogen contents. DCL films deposited on Pt-coated Si wafers show the stable emission characteristics, and the turn-on fields are in the range of 11 to 20 $V/\mu$m.

Gas composition has a significant impact on the dispersion behavior and accumulation characteristics of blowout gas. However, few public studies has investigated the corresponding effect of gas composition. Therefore, this study firstly builds the FLACS-based numerical model about an offshore drilling platform. Then several scenarios by varying the composition of blowout gas are simulated while the scenario with the composition of "Deepwater Horizon" accident is regarded as the benchmark. Furthermore, the effects of the gas composition on the flammable cloud volume, the influenced area of flammable cloud, the influenced area of hydrogen sulfide and the critical time of the hydrogen sulfide spreading to the living area are analyzed. The results demonstrate that gas composition is a driving factor for dispersion characteristics of blowout gas. All the results can give support to reduce the risk of the similar accidents incurred by real blowouts.

During the last three decades, South Korean nuclear power plants have discharged about 5,950 tons of spent fuel and the maximum burn-up reached 55 GWd/MTU in 2002. This study was performed to support the development of Korean dry spent fuel storage alternatives. First, we chose V5H-$17{\times}17$ and KSFA-$16{\times}16$ as representative domestic spent fuels, considering current accumulation and the future generation of the spent fuels. Examination reveals that their average burn-ups have already increased from 33 to 51 GWd/MTU and from 34.8 to 48.5 GWd/MTU, respectively. Evaluation of the fuel characteristics shows that at the average burn-up of 42 GWd/MTU, the oxide thickness, hydrogen content, and hoop stress ranged from $30{\sim}60{\mu}m$, 250 ~ 500 ppm, and 50 ~ 75 MPa, respectively. But when burn-up exceeds 55 GWd/MTU, those characteristics can increase up to 100 ${\mu}m$, 800 ppm, and 120 MPa, respectively, depending on the power history. These results demonstrate that most Korean spent nuclear fuels are expected to remain within safe bounds during long-term dry storage, however, the excessive hoop stress and hydrogen concentration may trigger the degradation of the spent fuel integrity early during the long-term dry storage in the case of high burn-up spent fuels exceeding 45 GWd/MTU.

This study was performed by the numerical approach to investigate chemical behaviors of homogeneous syngas ($CO/H_2$) with nitric monoxide (NO) in pressurized oxy-fuel conditions. Hydrogen had a dominant effect to the ignition delay time of syngas due to the fast chemistry of its oxidation. Combustion was promoted by NO at the low temperature region. It was by the additional heat release through NO oxidation and production and consumption of major radicals related to the ignition. Two stage ignition behavior was shown in the pressurized condition by the accumulation of $H_2O_2$ produced from $HO_2$ radical. Additional NO oxidation was induced by the pressurized oxy-fuel condition to produce $NO_2$.

Effects of dimethipin on the senescence of excised barley first leaves were investigated. Dimethipin markedly inhibited chlorophyll and protein loss and reduced peroxidase activity relevant to senescence phenomena in th excised leaves. Dimethipin decreased hydrogen peroxide content, later malondialdehyde content, and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. The antisenescence effects of dimethipin may result from the stabilization of membrane structure through inhibiting the peroxidation of unsaturated lipid and the accumulation of free radicals during senescence.

유기성폐수의 혐기발효 공정은 빠른 수소생성속도를 나타내며, 동시에 수중의 유기물을 처리한다. 반면, 수소생성 수율이 낮고 처리 수 내 혐기발효 산물인 복합 유기산이 다량 존재하게 된다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 수소생성 수율을 높이고 처리수의 수질 제고를 위해 광발효미생물을 이용하였다. 광발효미생물의 기질에 따른 수소생산 속도 및 미생물 성장율을 조사하기 위해 아세트산, 복합 유기산 (인공) 및 글루코스 대상 혐기발효 상등액을 각각 기질로 이용하는 회분식 실험을 실시하였다. 아세트산을 이용한 R. sphaeroides의 최대 비증식속도는 2.93 h로서 복합유기산을 이용할 때보다 높았다. 아세트산은 미생물 증식에 유리한 기질인 반면, 수소생산속도 면에서는 복합유기산보다 느리게 나타났다. 글루코스 혐기 발효액 상등액을 기질로 이용한 광발효에서 전단의 혐기발효를 통한 수소생산량의 약 50%가 추가로 발생하였다. 혐기 및 광발효미생물의 혼합발효 연속시스템을 통해 $15.9mL-H_2/L$의 안정적인 수소를 생산하였다.

Two mesophilic trickling bed bioreactors filled with two different types of media, hydrophilic- and hydrophobic-cubes, were designed and conducted for hydrogen production under the anaerobic fermentation of sucrose. Each bioreactor consisted of the column packed with polymeric cubes and inoculated with heat-treated sludge obtained from anaerobic digestion tank. A defined medium containing sucrose was fed by the different hydraulic retention time(HRT), and recycle rate. Hydrogen concentrations in gas-phase were constant, averaging 40% of biogas throughout the operation. Hydrogen production rate was increased till $10.5\;L{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of bioreactor when influent sucrose concentrations and recycle rates were varied. At the same time, the hydrogen production rate with hydrophobic media application was higher than its hydrophilic media application. No methane was detected when the reactor was under a normal operation. The major fermentation by-products in the liquid effluent of the both trickling biofilters were acetate, butyrate and lactate. In order to run in the long term operation of both reactor filled with hydrophilic and hydrophobic media, biofilm accumulation on hydrophilic media and biogas produced should be controlled through some process such as periodical backwashing or gas-purging. Four sample were collected from each reactor on the opposite hydrogen production rate, and their bacterial communities were compared by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of PCR products generated using bacterial 16s rRNA gene primers (8f and 926r). It was expressed a marked difference in bacterial communities of both reactors. The trickling bed bioreactor with hydrophobic media demonstrates the feasibility of the process to produce hydrogen gas. A likely application of this reactor technology can be hydrogen gas recovery from pre-treatment of high carbohydrate-containing wastewaters.
