Vibrio extracellular metalloprotease (vEP), secreted from Vibrio vulnificus, shows various proteolytic function such as prothrombin activation and fibrinolytic activities. Premature form of vEP has an N-terminal (nPP) and a C-terminal (C-ter100) region. The nPP and C-ter100 regions are autocleaved for the matured metalloprotease activity. It has been proposed that two regions play a key role in regulating enzymatic activity of vEP. Especially, C-ter100 has a regulatory function on proteolytic activity of vEP. C-ter100 domain has been cloned into the E. coli expression vectors, pET32a and pGEX 4T-1 with TEV protease cleavage site and purified using gel-filtration chromatography followed by affinity chromatography. To understand how C-ter100 modulates proteolytic activity of vEP, structural studies were performed by heteronuclar multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Backbone $^1H$, $^{15}N$ and $^{13}C$ resonances were assigned by data from standard triple resonance and HCCH-TOCSY experiments. The secondary structures of vEP C-ter100 were determined by TALOS+ and CSI software based on hydrogen/deuterium exchange. NMR data show that C-ter100 of vEP forms a ${\beta}$-barrel structure consisting of eight ${\beta}$-strands.

The present work has been devoted to the catalytic reduction of $N_2O$ by $H_2$ with $Pt/SiO_2$ catalysts at very low temperatures, such as $110^{\circ}C$, and their nanoparticle sizes have been determined by using $H_2-N_2O$ titration, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) measurements. A sample of 1.72% $Pt/SiO_2$, which had been prepared by an ion exchange method, consisted of almost atomic levels of Pt nanoparticles with 1.16 nm that are very consistent with the HRTEM measurements, while a $Pt/SiO_2$ catalyst possessing the same Pt amount via an incipient wetness technique did 13.5 nm particles as determined by the XRD measurements. These two catalysts showed a noticeable difference in the on-stream $deN_2O$ activity maintenance profiles at $110^{\circ}C$. This discrepancy was associated with the nanoparticle sizes, i.e., the $Pt/SiO_2$ catalyst with the smaller particle size was much more active for the $N_2O$ reduction. When repeated measurements of the $N_2O$ reduction with the 1.16 nm Pt catalyst at $110^{\circ}C$ were allowed, the catalyst deactivation occurred, depending somewhat on regeneration excursions.

$V_2O_5$ 분말을 과산화수소에 용해시켜 $V_2O_5$ 겔을 졸-겔법으로 합성한 후 물성과 전기화학적 특성을 NMR, 선형전압전류법 등을 이용하여 조사하였다. $V_2O_5$ xerogel에 삽입된 $Li^+$ 이온의 량에 따라 NMR 스펙트라의 화학적이동값이 다르게 나타났으며 xerogel 구조 내에서 다른 환경의 리튬이온 자리가 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 합성에 이용한 $V_2O_5$의 초기농도 변화와 pH 변화에 따른 xerogel의 전기화학적 특성은 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 전지용량은 이온교환수지법으로 제조한 xerogel과 비슷한 140 mAh/g으로 나타났다.

Recent developments in nanocrystalline and nanocomposite rare earth-transition metal magnets are reviewed and emphasis is placed on research work at IFW Dresden. Principal synthesis methods include high energy ball milling, melt spinning, mold casting and hydrogen assisted methods such as reactive milling and hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination. These techniques are applied to NdFeB-, PrFeB- and SmCo-type systems with the aim to produce high remanence magnets with high coercivity. Concepts of maximizing the energy density in nanostructured magnets by either inducing a texture via anisotropic HDDR or hot deformation or enhancing the remanence via magnetic exchange coupling are evaluated. With respect to high temperature applications melt spun $Sm(Co_{0.74}Fe_{0.1}Cu_{0.12}Zr_{0.04})_{7.5}$ ribbons were prepared, which showed coercivities of up to 0.53 T at 50$0^{\circ}C$. Partially amorphous $Nd_{60}Fe_xCo_{30-x}Al_{10}(0{\leq}x{\leq}30)$ alloys were prepared by copper mold casting. The effect of transition metal content on the glass-forming ability and the magnetic properties was investigated. The $Nd_{60}Co_{30}Al_{10}$ alloy exhibits an amorphous structure shown by the corresponding diffraction pattern. A small substitution of Co by 2.5 at.% Fe results In the formation of Fe-rich crystallites embedded in the Nd-rich amorphous matrix. The Fe-rich crystallites show hard magnetic behaviour at room temperature with a coercivity value of about 0.4 T, relatively low saturation magnetization and a Curie temperature of 500 K.

Various separation modes in HPLC, such as anion exchange (AE), reversed-phase (RP), and affinity (AF) chromatography were examined for the separation of selenium species in human blood serum and urine. While RP- and AE-HPLC were mainly used for the separation of small molecular selenium species, double column AF-HPLC achieved the separation of selenoproteins in blood serum efficiently. Further, the effluent of AF-HPLC was enzymatically hydrolyzed and then analyzed with RP HPLC for selenoamino acid study. The versatility of the hybrid technique makes the in-depth study of selenium species possible. For quantification, post column isotope dilution (ID) with $^{78}Se$ spike was performed. ORC ICP/MS (octapole reaction cell inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry) was used with 4 mL $min^{-1}$ Hydrogen as reaction gas. In urine sample, inorganic selenium and SeCys were identified. In blood serum, selenoproteins GPx, SelP and SeAlb were detected and quantified. The concentration for GPx, SelP and SeAlb was $22.8{\pm}3.4\;ng\;g^{-1}$, $45.2{\pm}1.7\;ng\;g^{-1}$, and $16.1{\pm}2.2\;ng\;g^{-1}$, respectively when $^{80}Se/^{78}Se$ was used. The sum of these selenoproteins ($84.1{\pm}4.4\;ng\;g^{-1}$) agrees well with the total selenium concentration measured with the ID method of $87.0{\pm}3.0\;ng\;g^{-1}$. Enzymatic hydrolysis of each selenium proteins revealed that SeCys is the major amino acid for all three proteins and SeMet is contained in SeAlb only.

본 연구에서는 3차원 전산유체역학 모델을 적용하여 서펜타인 유로를 갖는 고분자 전해질 분리막(PEM) 연료전지의 성능평가를 수행하였다. PEM 연료전지의 전산 모델은 등온조건하에서의 이동현상을 고려하여, 물질 및 운동량 전달, 전극에서의 반응속도론 그리고 전기적 흐름을 모두 포함하였다. 한편, 병류로 흐르도록 형성된 구조의 유로 형태는 본 연료전지모델에서 유로의 폭과 높이의 비인 종횡비와 유로와 립 폭의 비인 반응면적비를 변화시키며 다양한 형상으로 고려되었다. 유로의 형상이 변화될 경우 연료전지 내부의 수소와 산소의 질량분율 분포가 계산되었으며, 이에 따라, 활성화과전압의 계산 값이 변하게 되며 전류밀도 분포가 최종적으로 결정되었다. CFD 결과는 종횡비가 클수록 성능이 증가하고 반응면적비가 클수록 성능이 감소하는 것을 보였다. 본 연구의 모델에 의하면 서펜타인 유로의 형상에 의해, 성능특성이 경향성을 보이는 결과를 보여주었으며, 이와같은 결과는 다른 문헌에 보고 된 CFD 결과들과 전반적으로 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다.

전기 추진 프로펠러 항공기는 기존의 제트엔진으로부터 나오는 유해한 배기가스로 인한 환경적 우려와 국가 에너지 안보 차원에서 새로운 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 전통적인 항공기 사이징 방법들은 여러 종류의 에너지원과 동력 시스템을 사용하는 전기 추진 항공기에 바로 적용될 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 일반화된 동력기반 사이징 기법에 기초한 전기 추진 항공기 사이징의 실제 예를 제시하였다. 여기서 일반 항공기는 프로펠러, 고온초전도모터, 수소가 연료로 사용되는 연료전지, 동력 조절 장치로 구성되는 전기 추진시스템에 의해 구동된다. 기술 향상의 영향을 평가하기 위해 전기 구성품들의 두 가지 다른 기술 구성을 가정하여 항공기 사이징을 수행하였고, 전형적인 형태의 기준 항공기와 사이징 결과를 비교하였다.

Isotopic compositions of ice and meltwater play a very crucial role in paleoclimate studies based on ice cores and water resources research conducted in alpine hydrogeology. Better understanding of variations in the stable isotopic compositions of water is required since changes from ice to liquid water are gaining more attention due to recent climate change. In this work, a melting experiment was designed and conducted to investigate how the isotopic compositions of ice vary with time by heat sources, such as solar radiation. We conducted the melting experiment for 22 hours. The discharge rate rose to a maximum value after 258 minutes and gradually declined because we fixed the heat source. The isotopic compositions of meltwater increased linearly or to a second degree polynomial. The linear relationship between oxygen and hydrogen has a slope of 6.8, which is less than that of the Global Meteoric Water Line (8) and higher than a theoretical value (6.3). The deuterium excess decreased when ${\delta}D$ or ${\delta}^{18}O$ increases or vise versa since the slope of the relationship for ice-liquid exchange is less than 8. These findings and the apparatus of the melting experiments will make a helpful contribution to the studies of stable isotopes and the melting process in temperate and polar regions.
