Intracluster stars are believed to be gravitationally bound to a galaxy cluster, however, not to individual cluster galaxies. Their presence is observed as diffuse light typically in the central region extended from the brightest cluster galaxy. The diffuse light, often referred to as intracluster light (ICL), is difficult to quantify in distant high-redshift galaxy clusters because of the significant surface brightness dimming although ICL observations in high-redshift clusters provide powerful constraints on the origin of intracluster stars. In this poster, we present ICL study of the distant galaxy cluster SPT2106-5844 at z=1.132 with Hubble Space Telescope IR imaging data. With careful control of systematics, we successfully quantify the total amount of the ICL, measure the color profile, and obtain its two-dimensional distribution. Our measurement of the high abundance of the intracluster stars in this young cluster favors the ICL formation scenario, wherein production of intracluster stars are predominantly associated with the BCG formation.

본고는 실업급여와 생애적 차원에서 소비균등화를 도모할 수 있는 대출을 이용하여 근로자에게 실직에 따른 소득감소 보전 및 실직위험에 대한 보험을 효과적으로 제공하는 소득보장 체계를 제시한다. 특히 대출 상환을 추후 근로자 소득과 연계시키는 소득연계식 대출(ICL)과 실업급여를 통해 실직자들의 구직유인 감퇴 효과를 최소화하면서 상태별 혹은 동태적 소비균등화를 효율적으로 도모할 수 있는 실업보조 제도를 분석한다. 또 본고는 소득연계식 대출이 실업자 소득보장 제도뿐 아니라 여타 복지 프로그램에도 적용될 수 있는 일반적인 정책수단이 될 수 있음을 지적하고, 따라서 ICL이 최근의 복지서비스 수요 증대에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 새로운 복지정책 패러다임으로서 기능할 수 있음을 밝힌다.

석탄액화(Coal to Liquid, CTL) 공정은 직접액화(Direct Coal Liquefaction, DCL) 공정과 간접액화(Indirect Coal Liquefaction, ICL) 공정으로 대분되며, 각 공정의 경제성을 분석하기 위하여 주요 제품(디젤, 납사) 생산량이 50,000 barrel per day(BPD)의 직 간접석탄액화공정을 선정하고 공정에 적합한 검토기준을 세워 건설비용 및 매출액 등을 산정하였다. 또한 석탄액화공정에 대한 중요 변수들의 가격 변동에 따른 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 생산량을 기준으로 선정된 원료탄(Illinois #6 유연탄)을 사용하였을 때, 총 투자액은 각각 DCL $3,994,858,000, ICL $4,962,263,000로 나타났다. 경제성 분석결과 내부수익률(internal rate of return, IRR)은 기본조건에서 각각 13.27%(DCL), 12.68%(ICL)로 나타났으며, 두 공정 모두 원료석탄 가격과 생산 제품 판매가에 가장 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 원금상환 기간은 DCL이 6.6년, ICL이 6.8년으로 나타났으며, 민감도 분석 결과 제품가격, 원료석탄가격, 건설비의 변동률 순서로 수익률에 변화를 주는 것으로 나타났다.

This report examines the economic feasibility of a commercial 50,000 barrel per day direct/indirect coal liquefaction (DCL/ICL) facility to produce commercial-grade diesel and naphtha liquids from medium-sulfur bituminous coal. The scope of the study includes capital and operating cost estimates, sensitivity analysis and a comparative financial analysis. Based on plant capacity of 50,000BPD, employing Illinois #6 bituminous coal as feed coal the total capital cost appeared $3,994,858,000(DCL) and $4,942,976,000(ICL). Also, the internal rate of return of DCL/ICL appeared 13.27% and 12.68% on the base condition. In this case, coal price and sale price of products were the most influence factors. And ICL's payback period(6.8 years) was longer than DCL's (6.6 years). According to sensitivity analyses, the important factors on DCL/ICL processes were product sale price, feed coal price and the capital cost in order.

The glyoxylate cycle can conserve carbons and adequately supply tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates for biosynthesis when microorganisms grow on $C_{2}$ carbon sources. It has been reported that isocitrate lyase (ICL1), a key enzyme of the glyoxylate cycle, is highly induced when Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of rice blast, infects its host. Therefore, the glyoxylate cycle is considered as a new target for antifungal agents. A 1.6-kb DNA fragment encoding the ICL1 from M. grisea KJ201 was amplified by PCR, cloned into a vector providing His-tag at the N-terminus, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified ICL1 was approximately 60 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The ICL1 inhibitory effects of TCA cycle intermediates and their analogs were investigated. Among them, 3-nitropropionate was found to be the strongest inhibitor with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11.0{\mu}g/ml$. 3-Nitropropionate inhibited the appressorium development in M. grisea at the ${\mu}M$ level, whereas conidia germination remained unaffected. This compound also inhibited the mycelial growth of the fungus on minimal medium containing acetate as a $C_{2}$ carbon source. These results suggest that ICL1 plays a crucial role in appressorium formation of M. grisea and is a new target for the control of phytopathogenic fungal infection.

The electronic structures of the new organic conducting salts, the β'- and β''-phases of (BEDT-TTF)2[(IBr2)0.2(BrICl)0.1(ICl2)0.7], were examined by calculating their electronic band structures, Fermi surfaces and HOMO-HOMO interaction energies using the extended Huckel tight binding method. On the basis of these calculations, we probed why the β'-phase is semiconducting while the β ''-phase is metallic.

In the tumor microenvironment, immune checkpoint ligands (ICLs) must be expressed in order to trigger the inhibitory signal via immune checkpoint receptors (ICRs). Although ICL expression frequently occurs in a manner intrinsic to tumor cells, extrinsic factors derived from the tumor microenvironment can fine-tune ICL expression by tumor cells or prompt non-tumor cells, including immune cells. Considering the extensive interaction between T cells and other immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, ICL expression on immune cells can be as significant as that of ICLs on tumor cells in promoting antitumor immune responses. Here, we introduce various regulators known to induce or suppress ICL expression in either tumor cells or immune cells, and concise mechanisms relevant to their induction. Finally, we focus on the clinical significance of understanding the mechanisms of ICLs for an optimized immunotherapy for individual cancer patients.

Not all stars in the Universe are gravitationally bounded to galaxies. Since first discovered in 1951, observations have revealed that a significant fraction of stars fills the space between galaxies in local (low-redshift) galaxy clusters, observed as diffuse intracluster light (ICL). Theoretical models provide mechanisms for the production of intracluster stars as tidally stripped material or debris generated through numerous galaxy interactions during the hierarchical growth of the galaxy cluster. These mechanisms predict that most intracluster stars in local galaxy clusters are long-accumulated material since z~1. However, there is no observational evidence to verify this prediction. Here we report observations of abundant ICL for a massive (above $10^{14}$ solar masses) galaxy cluster at a redshift of z=1.24, when the Universe was 5 billion years old. We found that more than 10 per cent of the total light of the cluster is contributed by the diffuse ICL out to 110 kpc from the center of the cluster, comparable to 5-20 per cent in local, massive galaxy cluster. Furthermore, we found that the colour of the brightest cluster galaxy located in the core of the cluster is consistent with that of the ICL out to 200 kpc. Our results demonstrate that the majority of the intracluster stars present in the local Universe, contrary to most previous theoretical and observational studies, were built up during a short period and early (z>1) in the history of the Virgo-like massive galaxy cluster formation, and might be concurrent with the formation of the brightest cluster galaxy.
