본 연구에서는 원자력 시설물에 존재하는 핵종의 의도치 않은 유출사고를 대비하기 위해서 세 가지 대표 핵종 ($^{60}Co$, $^{137}Cs$, $^{125}Sb$)을 원자력 시설물 지역에서 채취한 시료와 반응하여 핵종들의 흡착 및 거동 특성을 조사하였다. 가장 높은 흡착계수 값들은 ($^{60}Co=947mL/g$, $^{137}Cs=2105mL/g$, $^{125}Sb=81.3mL/g$) 지하수 환경일 때 상부토층 시료에서 나타났으며, 파쇄대 > 기반암 시료의 순으로 $K_d$ 값이 감소하였다. 상부토층과 파쇄대에서 $^{60}Co$의 높은 흡착계수는 상부토층 및 파쇄대에 존재하는 점토광물에 의한 것으로 사료되며, 해수 조건에서는 높은 이온강도로 인해서 $K_d$ 값은 약 58 - 69 % 감소하였다. $^{137}Cs$의 흡착은 주로 백운모의 Flayed edge site (FES)에서 $K^+$과의 이온교환 반응에 의한 것으로 사료된다. $^{137}Cs$의 흡착이 해수 조건에서 가장 크게 영향을 받으며 (89 - 97 % 감소), $^{125}Sb$은 대표 핵종 중 해수에 의한 이온강도 변화에 가장 미미한 변화를 보였다. 칼럼 및 배치 흡착 실험 결과 파쇄대 시료 (F-1, F-2)에서 $^{137}Cs$의 지연계수 (R) 값은 약 5400 - 7400, $^{60}Co$의 경우는 약 2000 - 2500, $^{125}Sb$의 경우는 약 250 - 415의 범위를 보여주므로 대표핵종들이 파쇄대에서도 매우 낮은 거동을 보일 것으로 사료된다. 대표 핵종 $^{137}Cs$, $^{60}Co$, $^{125}Sb$들은 모두 상부토층 및 파쇄대에서 가장 높은 $K_d$ 값을 나타내므로, 원전 시설물에서 예상치 못한 중대사고가 발생하여 핵종이 환경으로 유출되더라도 상부토층 및 파쇄대 구간에서 대부분 흡착되어 이동이 상당히 지연될 것으로 예측된다. 이러한 결과는 원자력 시설물의 안전성 및 환경영향 평가 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The aim of the present recent study was to compare the protein patterns in the vaginal mucus of Hanwoo cattles during spontaneous and CIDR induced-estrus. Ten cattles, who had been observed in estrus, received no treatment and served as the group of cattles with normal spontaneous estrus. Thirteen cattles in the CIDR received an CIDR insert on day 14 were removed and cattles were injected GnRH on day 15. Vaginal mucus samples were collected from all cattles at the same time the single AI in cattles with spontaneous estrus and the AI in cattles with induced estrus. Spontaneous and CIDR-induced estrus vaginal mucus samples were analyzed on two different array surfaces: cation-exchange (CM10), anion-exchange (Q10). In addition, using the NaCl solution by which the proteins combined after washing are 0.5, 1 and 2 M, it was fractionated and a protein was collected successively. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Ionic surfaces chemistries (Q10 and CM10) gave the best results in terms of detectable protein peaks, with more than 100 protein peaks in the two fractions and under each condition. 2) Protein mass spectrometer using 11 different proteins in protein identification of 7 were able to determine the protein. List of identified proteins as follows; Ribosome-binding protein 1, GRIP 1-associated protein 1, Katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit A-like 1, Protein FAM44A, DUF729 domain-containing protein 1, Prolactin precursor, Dihydrofolate erductase. Conclusively, on the basis of this study, protein expression in the vaginal mucus could be used as an indicator for time of estrus manifestation in order to increase conception rates by applying AI at an optional time.

트리메틸올멜라민에 의한 세리신 정착 거동을 고찰하기 위해 멜라민과 포름알데하이드를 몰 비 1:3으로 세리신정착액을 조성하여 실크 생사를 정착시켰고, 정련에 의해 세리신 정착 거동을 살펴보았다. 정착 과정에서 세리신의 정착이 일어나는 동시에 열수에 의해 세리신 I의 일부가 제거되었다. 정착 중의 감량과 정련에 의한 연감율은 멜라민과 포름알데하이드의 농도가 증가할수록 크게 감소했다. 0.011몰 멜라민과 0.033몰 포름알데하이드로 정착한 실크 생사는 불충분한 정착과 탄산나트륨에 의한 세리신의 알칼리 가수분해로 인해 많은 정련이 일어났다. 그러나 0.055몰 멜라민과 0.165몰 포름알데하이드로 정착한 실크 생사는 강한 세리신 정착으로 인해 3-8%의 매우 적은 연감율을 보였는데 이는 트리메틸올멜라민에 의해 세리신 I 분자 간에 많은 가교결합이 형성되었기 때문으로 사료된다. 또한 15% owf 유연제의 정착액으로 처리한 경우 정착에 의한 감량과 정련에 의한 연감율이 가장 작게 나타났는데 이는 유연제의 양이온이 세리신 중의 아스파르트산의 음이온과 이온결합을 형성하고 유연제의 소수부와 세리신의 소수성 영역 간에 반데르바알스력이 형성되어 세리신 I의 제거가 다소 억제된 것으로 사료된다.

Voltage-sensitive ion channels contribute to establishment of the cell excitablity and the generation of the cellular function. At hamster oocytes in the primitive stage during developing process, an inward current elicited by voltage pulses was found to be carried mainly by $Ca^{2+}$. Even at present, $Ca^{2+}$ channels serve as the most probable route to pass this inward current but there is no evidence of the presence of this channels in eggs. To date, both the characteristic properties and the physiological role in the early stage of development remain unclear. Here we examined the characteristic properties of the inward current and changes in this currents at unfertilized oocytes, fertilized zygotes and two-cell embryos using whole-cell voltage clamp technique. The inward current carried reportedly by $Ca^{2+}$ was remained following removing external $Ca^{2+}$ but completely abolished by further replacement of impermeants such as tetramethylammonium ion ($TMA^+$) or $choline^+$ instead of $[Na^+]_0$. Tetrodotoxin did not affect on this inward current remained at $[Ca^{2+}]_0$-free condition. Removal of $Na^+$ ion out of the experimental solution clearly decreased the current. After adding 2mM $Ca^{2+}$ to the $Na^+$-free media, the inward current was restored. Interestingly, this current carried by either $Ca^{2+}$ or $Na^+$ was decreased by the reduction of intracellular $Cl^-$ concentration, or by $Cl^-$ channel blockers such as niflumic acid, DIDS and SITS. When $Cl^-$ concentration was lowered without changes in other ionic components, this inward current was reduced. At fertilized oocytes and two-cell embryos, the inward current carried by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ was severely reduced. Also $Cl^-$ component could not be observed. From these results, the inward current is composed of $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ component, suggesting that the channel carrying this inward current is not selective specifically to $Ca^{2+}$. During early stage of development, the voltage-sensitive ion current seems not to contribute essentially to the cell cleavage and differentiation. The loss of $Cl^-$ component after fertilization suggests that $Cl^-$ may play a role in maintaining the viability of unfertilized ova.

This study measured the zeta potential of both latex colloidal particles with carboxylate surface groups and glass beads (collectors) with silanol surface group employing various solution with different chemical characteristics. The results have been compared with the surface chemistry theory. The zeta potential of the particle and collector increased with increasing pH up to 5.0 regardless of the solution chemistry. For a monovalent electrolyte solution(sodium chloride solution) the zeta potential steadily increased until the pH reached 9.5. In contrast, little change in zeta potential was made between 5.0 and 9.5 for a divalent electrolyte solution (sodium chloride solution) the zeta potential steadily increased until the pH reached 9.5. In contrast, little change in zeta potential was made between 5.0 and 9.5 for a divalent electrolyte solution (calcium chloride solution). In other words, the more the pH decreases, the larger the effect of neutral salts, such as NaCl and CaCl$_2$, have on the ζ-potential values. In this study, the PZPC(point of zero proton condition) of the particle and collector occurred below a pH of 3.1, H(sup)+ and OH(sup)- acted as a PDI (potential determining ion), and Na(sup)+ acted as an IDI(indifferent ion). The magnitude of the negative ζ-potential values of the particle and collector monotonically increased as the concentrations of Na(sup)+ or Ca(sup)2+([Na(sup)+] or [Ca(sup)2+]) decreased (the values of pNa or pCa increased). In the case of latex particles, the ζ-potential should aproach zero (isoelectric point; IEP) asymptotically as the pNa approaches zero, while in the case of calcium chloride electrolyte, ζ-potential reversal may be expected to occur around 3.16$\times$10(sup)-2MCaCl$_2$(pCa=1.5). pH, valance and ionic strength can be used in various ways to improve the water treatment efficiency by modifying the charge characteristics of the particle and collector. Predictive capability is far less certain when EDL(electrical double layer) repulsive forces exist between the particle and collector.

The objective of this work is to study transdermal delivery of levodopa using iontophoresis and evaluate various factors which affect the transdermal transport. Levodopa is unstable in aqueous solution, and, in order to establish a stable condition for levodopa for the duration of experiment, we investigated the stability of levodopa in aqueous solutions of different pHs with/without the addition of dextrose or the application of current. Using stable aqueous solution, we have studied the effect of pH, polarity and penetration enhancer (ethanol) on transdermal flux and compared the results. We also investigated the iontophoretic flux from hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) hydrogel. In vitro flux study was performed at $33^{\circ}C$, using side-by-side diffusion cell. Full thickness hairless mouse skin and rat skin were used for this work. Current densities applied were 0.4 or $0.6mA/cm^2$ and current was off after 6 hour application. Stability study showed that levodopa solution with a pH 2.5 or 4.5 maintained the initial concentration of levodopa for 24 hours with the addition of 5% dextrose. However, at pH 9.5, levodopa was unstable and 30 to 40% of levodopa degraded within 24 hours, even with the addition of 5% dextrose. Hydrogel swollen with dextrose added levodopa solution maintained about 97% of the initial concentration of levodopa for 13 days, when stored in $4^{\circ}C$. The application of current did not affect the stability of levodopa in hydrogel. Flux study from levodopa solution with pH 2.5 showed that cathodal delivery of levodopa was higher than passive or anodal delivery. When the pH of the donor solution was 4.5, anodal delivery of levodopa was higher than passive or cathodal delivery. These results seem to indicate that electroosmosis plays more dominant role than electrorepulsion in the flux of levodopa at pH 2.5, and the reverse situation applies for pH 4.5. The passive flux was unexpectedly high for the ionized levodopa. Similar to the results from aqueous solution, cumulative amount of levodopa transported trom HPC hydrogel by cathodal delivery was significantly higher than passive or anodal delivery. The treatment of 70% ethanol cotton ball by scrubbing increased passive, anodal and cathodal flux, with the largest increase for anodal flux. These results indicate that iontophoretic delivery of zwitterion such as levodopa is much complicated than that can be expected from small ionic molecules with single charge. The results also indicate that the balance between electroosmosis and electrorepulsion plays a very important role in the transport through skin.

고염 스트레스는 식물의 성장과 수확량에 치명적인 영향을 야기한다. 그와 같은, 환경 스트레스에 의하여 식물은 다양한 유전자의 발현으로 저항성을 가지게 하는 기작이 발달되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 애기장대에서 다양한 환경 스트레스에 관여하는 유전자를 분리할 목적으로 GGM(Graphical Gaussian Model) program을 사용한 후, BLH8(BEL1-Like Homeodomain Gene 8) 유전자의 돌연변이 식물체를 구축하였다. atblh8-1 돌연변이체는 고농도의 $Na^+$과 $K^+$ 이온에 특이적으로 백화현상을 보이지만, 뿌리 성장에는 변화를 보이지 않았다. 그러므로, BLH8 단백질은 $Na^+$과 $K^+$과 같은 환경스트레스 저항성에 관여하는 중요한 인자임을 시사한다. 이와 같이, GGM program은 환경 스트레스에 관여하는 유전자를 분리하기 위한 유용한 도구일 것으로 사려된다.

Recently, multiferroic materials have attracted much attention due to their fascinating fundamental physical properties and potential technological applications in magnetic/ferroelectric data storage systems, quantum electromagnets, spintronics, and sensor devices. Among single-phase multiferroic materials, $BiFeO_3$, in particular, has received considerable attention because of its very interesting magnetoelectric properties for application to spintronics. Enhanced ferromagnetism was found by Fe-site ion substitution with magnetic ions. In this study, $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ (x=0 and 0.05) bulk ceramic compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering. High-purity $Bi_2O_3$, $Fe_3O_4$ and NiO powders were mixed with the stoichiometric proportions, and calcined at $450^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$. Then, the samples were directly put into the oven, which was heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 20 min. The crystalline structure of samples was investigated at room temperature by using a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer. The Raman measurements were carried out with a Raman spectrometer with 514.5-nm-excitation Ar+-laser source under air ambient condition on a focused area of $1-{\mu}m$ diameter. The field-dependent magnetization and the temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating-sample magnetometer. The x-ray diffraction study demonstrates the compressive stress due to Ni substitution at the Fe site. $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ exhibits the rhombohedral perovskite structure R3c, similar to $BiFeO_3$. The lattice constant of $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ is smaller than of $BiFeO_3$ because of the smaller ionic radius of Ni3+ than that of Fe3+. The field-dependent magnetization of $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ exhibits a clear hysteresis loop at 300 K. The magnetic properties of $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ were improved at room temperature because of the existence of structurally compressive stress.
