최근 자원과 에너지를 절약하고 효과적으로 사용하여 환경 훼손을 줄이고 청정에너지를 이용할 수 있는 기술의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이와 관련 하여, 친환경적이고 경제적이며 독성이 거의 없는 초임계 유체가 물질의 합성과 프로세스에 많이 응용되고 있다. 이산화탄소는 낮은 임계온도와 압력, 가격 경쟁력 그리고 무독성 등의 장점을 가짐으로써 초임계 공정에 많이 사용되고 있는 용매중에 하나이다. 그러나 분자량이 높은 고분자들에게는 낮은 용해력이 단점으로 있어서 사용에 제한적이다. 따라서, 분자량이 높은 고분자를 용해하기 위해선 하이드로카본 계열의 용매를 사용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는, 초임계 유체를 이용하여 Poly (methyl methacrylate)/클레이 나노 복합체 제조에 관한 연구를 진행 하였다. 또한, 초임계 유체 내에서 분산성을 극대화 할 수 있도록 $Na^+$-MMT 클레이 표면을 플로린 계열의 surfactant로 개질 시키어 복합체 제조에 응용 하였다. 개질된 클레이를 이용하여 제조 된 복합체는 neat Poly (methyl methacrylate)보다 향상된 기계적, 열적 특성을 보였으며, 제조 된 복합체는 X-ray 회절 방법, 열적 안정성 그리고 TEM 으로 나노 클레이의 분산성을 분석 하였다.

Three anticncer agents which are different in time or dosage dependence as well as in phase specificity, namely mitomycin and adriamycin from natural products, and widely different cancer cell lines_Four epidermoid carcinomas originated from larynx, cervix, skin and gut were used toghether with one osteosarcoma as the target cell of single and combined administration of anticancer drugs. Semiautomated tetrazolium dye assay(MTT) appears to offer an attractive option for chemosensitivity of head and neck cancers since it is a simple, valid and inexpensive method of assessing chemosensitivity for large samples in a short time. The results obtained form this study were as follows. 1. Good correlations were obtained with the results of the MTT test and those of $^3H$ thymidine uptake assay. 2. $LD_{50}$ values of HIST and St.Ca. which showed relatively high doubling time on adriamycin were $30{\mu}g/ml$ and $15{\mu}g/ml$ while those of HeLa, Hep-2 and KHOS/NP were $2.1{\mu}g/ml$, $4.8{\mu}g/ml$, and $6.8{\mu}g/ml$ respectively. 3. The $LD_{50}$ value of 5-FU on five cancer cells were very high ranging from 15mg/ml to almost indefinite number, which means 5-FU is very resistant to epidermoid carcinomas or osteosarcoma examined in this study. 4. Mitomycin was relatively effective showing 80% cancer killing effect on HeLa, 70% on St. Ca. and 50% on Hep-2 at the high concentrations used. 5. Adriamycin was the most effective showing 90% cancer cell killing effect on KHOS/NP, 98% on HeLa, 80% both on Hep-2 and St. Ca. The least susceptible cancer cells toward adriamycin was HIST having only 55% cell killing effect at the high cincentration. 6. Combined therapy of adriamycin and 5-FU was more effective than single administration in all the cases examined. Most effective synergism was observed on St. Ca. at the low concentration, showing 21 times higher than each single administration.

Purpose - The cosmetics industry is a traditional high value-added industry in terms of the domestic demand, small batch production systems, exclusive competition, and raw materials highly dependent on overseas countries as well as an oligopolistic market structure. However, new foreign brands and growing consumer awareness of inexpensive products, has triggered a shift. In line with changing lifestyles and the polarization of consumption, the industry faces a new market structure. Among its key characteristics is the cosmetics industry's numerous distribution channels (i.e., department stores, door-to-door sales, online shopping malls, brand shops, and discount stores). Therefore, the study of its distribution channels is essential. Research design, data, and methodology - The study analyzed channel distribution power divided into coercive and non-coercive power. The factors of coercive power included: unilateral request of an increase in commissions, interference in sales by taking advantage of a superior status, unilateral buck-passing at the time of a problem, unilateral request to stop sales activities, and a unilateral business contract; the factors of non-coercive power included favorable payment conditions, offers of various kinds of information, policy on commission reduction, pride in market entrance, and promotion support. In addition, the mediating variable "interdependence" was applied to the execution of department store (or mart) power and their shop conflicts and satisfaction to examine direct and indirect influential power. The methodology was a survey of managers of cosmetics shops in department stores (or marts). The questionnaire, based on a five-point Likert scale, included questions about basic personal information, execution of power, interdependence, conflict, and satisfaction. The study distributed 198 questionnaires and collected 131. Ten questionnaires with missing or hard to analyze data were excluded. Thus, 121 copies were analyzed. Results - According to the analysis, the execution of coercive power by department stores (or marts) did not affect interdependence, but the execution of non-coercive power did. Interdependence did not influence conflict, but did affect satisfaction. Additionally, the analysis revealed direct influential power: the execution of coercive power positively affected conflict and negatively influenced satisfaction; the execution of non-coercive power positively affected satisfaction. Conclusions - To offer suggestions for distribution business relations in the cosmetics industry, this study investigated how the execution of power by department stores (or marts) affected their shops. More specifically, it examined how much the execution of both coercive power and non-coercive power influenced conflict and satisfaction, and analyzed the mediating role of interdependence. In line with previous study results in various areas, coercive power was shown to be the source of conflict, leading to a decrease in satisfaction, whereas non-coercive power significantly positively influenced satisfaction. Moreover, non-coercive power increased interdependence, which led to greater satisfaction. As a result, interdependence had a mediating effect on non-coercive power and satisfaction. Based on the results, department stores (or marts) should look for improvements plans that increase interdependence. Such plans could alleviate conflict with the shops, increasing their satisfaction.

본 연구는 할로겐 조명설비 대비 LED 조명시스템 구성의 경제성을 분석하였다. LED기구의 조명 경제성 평가를 위해 WEELS 2011를 사용하여 공연장 무대조명 시스템을 LED로 설계했을 경우, 공연장의 크기와 조명기구의 종류별 현재 가치와 연간비용, 면적별 연간비용을 분석하였다. 또한 소비에너지의 비교를 위해 면적당 소비 전력, 면적당 소비 전력량, 이산화탄소 배출량을 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과, 할로겐 조명기에 비해 LED 조명기의 연간비용이 매우 저렴하며 현재가치는 매우 높은 것을 알 수 있다. 하지만 LED 조명기의 초기 설비비가 약 200% 가까이 큰 것을 알 수 있다. LED 조명기구는 할로겐 조명기구에 비해 초기 시설비가 비싸지만 조명률의 값이 크고, LED의 상각년수(30년)가 할로겐의 상각년수(2년)보다 길기 때문에 연간비용에서 차이가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있다. 향후 LED 조명기의 단가가 낮아지는 추세를 감안하면 할로겐 조명기보다 연간비용이 더 낮아 질 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그리하여 3차년도에 진입할 경우 비용 지출이 역전되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Polyester cloth (PC) was selected as a prospective inexpensive substitute separator material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). PC was compared with a traditional Nafion proton exchange membrane (PEM) as an MFC separator by analyzing its physical and electrochemical properties. A single layer of PC showed higher mass transfer (e.g., for $O_2/H^+/ions$) than the Nafion PEM; in the case of oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_o$), a rate of $50.0{\times}10^{-5} cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$ was observed compared with a rate of $20.8{\times}10^{-5}cm/s$ in the Nafion PEM. Increased numbers of PC layers were found to reduce the oxygen mass transfer coefficient. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of oxygen ($D_O$) for PC ($2.0-3.3{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$) was lower than that of the Nafion PEM ($3.8{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$). The PC was found to have a low ohmic resistance ($0.29-0.38{\Omega}$) in the MFC, which was similar to that of Nafion PEM ($0.31{\Omega}$); this resulted in comparable maximum power density and maximum current density in MFCs with PC and those with Nafion PEMs. Moreover, a higher average current generation was observed in MFCs with PC ($104.3{\pm}15.3A/m^3$) compared with MFCs with Nafion PEM ($100.4{\pm}17.7A/m^3$), as well as showing insignificant degradation of the PC surface, during 177 days of use in swine wastewater. These results suggest that PC separators could serve as a low-cost alternative to Nafion PEMs for construction of cost-effective MFCs.

Piliated Lactobacillus rhamnosus (pLR) strains possess higher adherent capacity than non-piliated strains. The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize probiotic pLR strains in human fecal samples. To this end, mouse polyclonal antiserum (anti-SpaA) against the recombinant pilus protein (SpaA) of L. rhamnosus strain GG (LGG) was prepared and tested for its reactivity and specificity. With the anti-SpaA, a method combining the de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) agar plating separation and colony immunoblotting (CIB) was developed to isolate pLR from 124 human fecal samples. The genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the resultant pLR isolates were compared by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting, and examination of adhesion to Caco-2 cells, hydrophobicity, autoaggregation, and in vitro gastrointestinal tolerance. Anti-SpaA specifically reacted with three pLR strains of 25 test strains, as assessed by western blotting, immunofluorescence flow cytometry, and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) assays. The optimized MRS agar separation plus anti-SpaA-based CIB procedure could quantitatively detect $2.5{\times}10^3CFU/ml$ of pLR colonies spiked in $10^6CFU/ml$ of background bacteria. Eight pLR strains were identified in 124 human fecal samples, and were confirmed by 16S RNA gene sequencing and IEM identification. RAPD fingerprinting of the pLR strains revealed seven different patterns, of which only two isolates from infants showed the same RAPD profiles with LGG. Strain PLR06 was obtained with high adhesion and autoaggregation activities, hydrophobicity, and gastrointestinal tolerance. Anti-SpaA-based CIB is a rapid and inexpensive method for the preliminary screening of novel adherent L. rhamnosus strains for commercial purposes.

결핵을 진단하는 방법 중에서 신속하고 비교적 비용이 적게드는 방법은 객담을 통한 결핵균 도말 검사이다. 결핵균 도말 검사는 슬라이드에 도말한 환자의 객담을 가온 과정을 통해 고착시키고. acid-fast 염색방법을 통해 염색시킨 후 현미경으로 결핵균을 관찰하는 것이다. Acid-fast 염색방법은 크게 hot staining과 cold staining 방법 두 가지가 있으며, 우리나라에서는 염색 결과가 선명한 hot staining 방법인 Ziehl-Neelsen 방법을 주로 이용한다. 그러나, 기존의 결핵균 자동염색기는 가온 기능이 없어 환자의 객담을 슬라이드에 검사자가 고착을 시켜야 하고. 선명도도 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 검사자의 인력 절감과 검사자 개인의 염색 능력에 따른 염색 정도의 변화를 줄이기 위해 가온이 가능한 결핵균 자동염색기를 개발하였다 개발된 염색기는 객담의 고착에서 염색 그리고 건조가지 전 과정이 자동으로 이루어진다. 염색 시간은 5개의 슬라이드를 고품질로 염색할 경우 21분이 소요되었다. 성능 평가를 위해 총 91개 객담을 대상으로 자동과 수동염색을 시행하여 일치율을 비교해 본 결과 75%로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P>0.05).

Purpose: Blow-out fractures are reduced through transcutaneous or transconjunctival incisions. But the field of orbital surgery is difficult due to lack of visualization of fracture site, blind dissection of orbital floor, susceptibility of injury of orbital structures. In these situations, the former technique of using an antral balloon catheter has advantages over other methods for reconstruction because of its rapidity, simplicity, and inexpensiveness. Furthermore, the antral balloon catheter allows not only elevation of the orbital bone fragment but also expansion of the maxillary sinus in cases where there is a fracture of its walls. But postoperative follow-up method using computed tomography is expensive. Hence, we report a simple and inexpensive follow-up method using radiopaque dye inflation. Methods: We performed endoscopic transantral approach in 5 cases of blow-out fracture under general anesthesia. To accomplish this technique, a rigid 4 mm, 0 or 30 degree angled endoscopy was inserted into the maxillary sinus. Inflation of the catheter started gradually, with 10 to 15 mL of saline mixed radiopaque dye (saline: dye, 5 : 1) by syringe and while observing the elevation of the fracture site with endoscope until a proper contour was reached. For the maintain of the position of fractured site, 12 French urinary balloon foley catheter were used in fracture site for 7 - 10 days. Results: Postoperative assessment was performed by means of clinical and simple radiographic examination to secure the catheter under the inferior orbital wall and in the maxillary sinus. No specific complications occurred related to this procedure. Results of the surgery and follow-up in all cases were satisfactory. Conclusion: It may be a better alternative to the conventional follow-up method, with less cost and effectiveness of the catheter patency. The advantages of using the urinary balloon foley catheter with the radiopaque dye include the following : it is safe, efficacy, simple, and especially low cost. On drawback of this method is the discomfort to the patient caused by the catheter during the treatment.
