Unlike carbohydrats and fats, alcohol is essentially foreign to the body and it is known that the body get rid of it by oxidizing alcohol maily in the liver. Acetaldehyde is produced during ethanol metabolism and is known to be oxidized mainly by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). ALDH activity was found mainly in the mitochondrial fraction but a significant ALDH activity was also present in microsomal and cytosol fraction. Wistar rats (150~200 g, male) were given freely with 12% ethanol (Control) and/or 12% ethanol containing 0.1% ginseng saponins (Test) instead of water for 6 days and the liver was analyzed. ALDH activities of both control and test group were lower than that of normal group but test AkDH was less inhibited than control. ADH activies of both control and test were slightly higher than that of normal group but our previous data showed that it became gradually steady after prolonged ethanol feeding. MEOS activities of both control and test group were much higher than that of normal group. MEOS enzymes are inducible but the activity of test group was greatly higher than that of control. Ethanol containing [1-i4C] ethanol (5 $\mu$Ci) was injected to the above three groups and 30 min later, the distribution of radioactivity of hepatic lipids was investigated. Radioactivities of hepatic lipids of both control and test group were higher than that of normal group, however, that of test group was much lower than that of control. Analysis of individual lipids showed that phospholipid biosynthesis was significantly impaired and fatty acid and triglycerides biosynthesis were greatly stimulated. However, it was realized that the saponin prevented phospholipid biosynthesis depression and the increase of triglyceride biosynthesis considerably. It seemed that the saponin might stimulate ADH, ALDH and MEOS and the acetaldehyde formed would be removed faster. The excess hydrogen can be shunt more quickly into lipid biosynthesis. Electron microscopic observation showed that the hepatic cell of control group was si gnificantly damaged. Mitochondria were swollen and rough endoplasmic reticulum were dilated, however, hepatocytes of test group were not damaged.

KD₂PO₄ single crystals were grown from D₂O with reagent KH₂PO₄ and the crystal structure was determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction methods. The crystals are tetragonal at room temperature, I42d, with lattice parameters of a=7.4633(7), c=6.9785(5) Å and Z=4. Intensity data were collected on an Enraf-nonius CAD4 diffractometer with a graphite monochromated MoK/sub α/ radiation (λ=0.7107Å) and on the neutron four circle single crystal diffractometer with Ge(331) monochromated neutron beam (λ=0.997Å). The structure was refined by full-matrix least-square to final R and wR values of 0.030 and 0.072, respectively, for 204 observed reflections with I>2σ(I) by X-ray diffraction and to final R=0.041 and wR=0.096 for 144 observed relfecdtions by neutron diffraction. The O…O distance of 2.516(4)Å obtained by X-ray diffraction is the same as that of 2.515(4)Å by neutron diffraction. On the other hand, the O-D/H distance of 0.84(4)Å by X-ray diffraction is considerably shorter than 1.029(7) Åby neutron diffraction. Hydrogen and deuterium can be readily distinguished by neutrons. In this crystal 66% of H-positions were substituted by D and the rest 34% occupied by H. The phase transition temperature of DKDP obtained with deuteration levels is f193K. This value agrees fairly well with the result of DSC measurement. The nuclear density distribution by neutron diffraction provides an observation of the disordered state of D/H in KD₂PO₄ at room temperature.

Recently, many utilities have considered interim dry storage of spent nuclear fuel as an option for increasing spent fuel storage capacity. Foreign nuclear regulatory committees have provided some regulatory and licensing requirements for relatively low- and medium-burned spent fuel with respect to the prevention of spent fuel degradation during transportation and interim dry storage. In the present study, the effect of cladding creep and hydride distribution on spent fuel degradation is reviewed and performance tests with high-burned Zircaloy-4 and advanced Zr alloy spent fuel are proposed to investigate the effect of burnup and cladding materials on the current regulatory and licensing requirements. Creep tests were also performed to investigate the effect of temperature and tensile hoop stress on hydride reorientation and subsequently to examine the temperature and stress limits against cladding material failure. It is found that the spent fuel failure is mainly caused by cladding creep rupture combined with mechanical strength degradation and hydride reorientation. Hydride reorientation from the circumferential to radial direction may reduce the critical stress intensity that accelerates radial crack propagation. The results of cladding creep tests at $400^{\circ}C$ and 130MPa hoop stress performed in this study indicate that hydride reorientation may occur between 2.6% to 7.0% strain in tube diameter with a hydrogen content range of 40-120ppm. Therefore, it is concluded that hydride re-orientation behaviour is strongly correlated with the cladding creep-induced strain, which varies as functions of temperature and stress acting on the cladding.

현재 국내에서 수소 관련 연구에 대한 관심이 매우 크나 수소원으로 사용하는 디젤 등 연료 내 존재하는 황 화합물을 제거하는 흡착 시스템 개발 관련 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통해 연료전지용 디젤 흡착 탈황반응기에 대한 기초 디자인 연구를 수행하였다. 유량에 따른 반응기 내부의 유동 변화와 출구에서의 황 화합물의 농도를 반응기의 지름 및 길이를 변화시켜가며 해석하여, 출구에서의 황 화합물의 기준 농도 (1 ppm)를 맞추기 위한 탈황 촉매의 성능을 예측하였으며 반응기의 길이 증가가 지름 증가보다 효율적임을 확인하였다. 또한, 충전된 탈황 촉매의 투과율에 따른 내부 유동 및 농도 변화를 살펴보았다. 본 연구 결과는 선박 연료전지용 디젤의 흡착 탈황 반응기 디자인 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 연료전지뿐 아니라 일반적으로 정유사에서 생산되는 디젤유의 황 함유량을 감소시키는 저황 시스템 디자인에 활용할 수 있으며 이러한 의미에서 석유화학 산업의 청정화 기술 확보에 이바지할 것으로 기대된다.

$SiO_2$/$Al_2O_3$ 비가 높은 제올라이트 ZSM-5를 합성하여 메탄올의 탄화수소로의 전환반응을 조사하였다. 메탄올이 전환되어 올레핀, 파라핀, 시클로파라핀 및 방향족화합물이 생성되었으며 특히 방향족 화합물에 대한 큰 선택성을 보여 주었고 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene의 크기정도에 제한된 형상선택성 촉매작용임을 알 수 있었다. 수소형태(HZSM-5)가 활성이 커, 메탄올이 탈수되어 일어나는 잇단 복잡한 반응들이 산촉매반응이 주임을 보여 주었다. ZSM-5와 구조가 유사한 mordenite와 3차원구조를 지닌 faujasite 촉매에서의 메탄올의 반응으로 구조적 영향과 TPD실험에 의한 산점분포를 비교한 결과 메탄올로부터 방향족화합물에 이르기까지의 탄화수소 합성에서의 ZSM-5 제올라이트의 촉매작용은 높은 실리카함량에 기인한 강한 산성과 교차하는 세공관 구조에 의한 분자체 효과에 의한 것으로 볼 수 있다.

The OH($X^2{\Pi},\;{\nu}$"=0, 1) internal state distributions from the reaction of electronically ground state oxygen atoms with HSi$Cl_3$ were measured using laser-induced fluorescence. The ground-state O$(^3P_J)$ atoms with kinetic energies above the reaction barrier were produced by photolysis of N$O_2$ at 355 nm. The OH product revealed strong vibrational population inversion, P(${\nu}$"=1)/P(${\nu}$"=0) = 4.0 ${\pm}$ 0.6, and rotational distributions in both vibrational states exhibit substantial rotational excitations to the limit of total available energy. However, no preferential populations in either of the two $\Lambda$ doublet states were observed from the micropopulations, which supports a mechanism involving a direct abstraction of hydrogen by the atomic oxygen. It was also found that the collision energy between O and HSi$Cl_3$ is effectively coupled into the excitation of the internal degrees of freedom of the OH product ($$ = 0.62, and $<\;f_{rot}>$ = 0.20). The dynamics appear consistent with expectations for the kinematically constrained reaction which supports the reaction type, heavy + light-heavy $\rightarrow$ heavy-light + heavy (H + LH′ $\rightarrow$ HL + H′). The dynamics of oxygen atom collision with HSi$Cl_3$ are discussed in comparison to those with Si$H_4$.

한강, 낙동강, 영산강, 금강의 하천 및 호소퇴적물을 대상으로 건식체질법, 습식체질법, 광산란법(PSA) 등의 입도분석법을 비교연구 하였다. 건식체질법의 경우 건조과정에서 발생하는 엉김현상에 의해 오차가 크게 발생하며 이러한 현상은 호소시료의 경우 두드러지게 나타났다. 습식체질법은 건식체질법에 비해 복잡하고 노동력이 보다 많이 필요하지만 정확한 분석이 가능하며 PSA의 경우에도 습식체질과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 엉김현상을 방지하기 위한 동결건조 및 과산화수소수에 의한 유기물의 산화/동결건조의 경우 엉김현상을 일부 개선할 수 있었으나 여전히 습식체질에 비하여 미세입자의 분율이 적게 나타났다. 입도별 중금속의 용출량 및 함유량이 조사되었으며 예상된 바와 같이 호소 및 하천시료 모두 미세입자에서 높은 농도의 중금속이 용출되었다. 퇴적물의 관리에 있어서 정확한 입도분석법의 사용과 미세입자에 대한 관리가 보다 중요하다.

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) typically show a non-thermal continuum locally represented by a power-law and many prominent emission lines in the UV and optical regions. AGNs are classified by two types, where Type I AGNs exhibit both broad and narrow lines and only narrow lines are observed in Type 2 AGNs. The unification models of AGNs invoke the existence of a molecular torus just outside of the broad line region. In the presence of a high column HI region associated with the molecular torus, we propose that significant fraction of broad line photons near Lyman series can be scattered by atomic hydrogen in the torus. In particular, $Ly{\alpha}$ being the strongest emission line, strong linear polarization may develop around $Ly{\alpha}$ through Rayleigh scattering. We adopt a Monte Carlo technique to investigate the polarized transfer of $Ly{\alpha}$ in a thick HI region with the shape of a torus. We consider the range of HI column density N_HI = 1020-23 with fixed geometric parameters of the torus such as the inner and outer radii and the height. We present the polarized spectra and angular distribution of Rayleigh scattered radiation around $Ly{\alpha}$. We find that the $Ly{\alpha}$ core part is polarized in the direction perpendicular to the symmetry axis whereas in the far wing part it is polarized in the parallel direction. It is concluded that the unification of AGNs implies that $Ly{\alpha}$ can be uniquely polarized through Rayleigh scattering.

원거리 플라즈마 화학증착법을 이용하여 저온에서 이산화규소박막을 제조하였다. 본 연구 에서는 공정변수인 기판의 온도, 반응기체의 조성 및 분압과 플라즈마 전력에 따른 산화막의 재료적인 물성을 평가하였다. XPS결과에서 산화막은 양론비(O/Si=2)보다 약간 적어 실리콘이 많이 함유된 막으로 나타났다. 이 경우 굴절율과 ESR분석에 의해 미결합된 실리콘의 양이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. SIMS분석에 의해 미량의 질소성분이 계면에 존재하는 것과 실리콘 미결함을 관찰하였다. FT-IR로부터 막내 수소량을 정량화하였으며 결합각 분포는 20$0^{\circ}C$이상에서 열산화막과 비슷한 값을 얻었다. 하지만 열산화막에 비해 높은 식각율을 보여 계면 스트레스에 의해 막내의 결합력이 약해진 것으로 생각된다.
