The core intention to undertake this experiment for a period of 21 days is to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid (SA) supplemented diet on the performance and blood metabolites of sows and their litters. Sows weighing 208.5 ± 18.34kg and their neonates were used. From day 114 of gestation to 21st day of lactation(weaning), ten multiparous sows (n = 5/treatment) (Landrace × Yorkshire) were assigned randomly into one of two treatments: CON (basal diet) and TRT (CON + 0.05% SA). There was no significant difference in the body weight, backfat thickness, backfat loss, and body condition score in SA treated sows compared to sows fed the CON diet. However, the bodyweight of sow was dramatically reduced by an average of 16kg from farrowing to weaning time. The dietary inclusion of SA in the sow diet slightly improved the survival rate (p = 0.065) and showed a higher body weight (p = 0.009) in piglets. However, there was no significant difference in red blood cell, Fe, Hematocrit, and Hb concentrations between CON and TRT sows' groups, but the total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) was significantly reduced in sows from the TRT group compared with the CON group from the beginning to weaning. The outcome of this trial shows that dietary addition of SA on sows diet from early lactation could increase the birth weight and TIBC of neonates at the end of the trial.

We made a Korean white porcelain or Joseon Baekja jar and based on the raw materials used and reproductions of each stage, we aimed to compare and analyze the physicochemical changes of the raw materials such as clay at each manufacturing stage, as well as identify the characteristics and correlations. Although the basic main components of clay and glaze material are similar, their texture becomes denser in the process of bisque firing pottery (Chobeol-pyeon) and glaze firing pottery (Jaebeol-pyeon), and we confirmed that in addition to the tendency of increasing vitrification, low-temperature minerals such as mica and illite gradually disappeared, while high-temperature minerals such as cristobalite were newly created. This phenomenon has also been verified by the rapid decrease in absorption rate while the change in specific gravity was small. In addition, the color was greatly affected by the firing atmosphere, and the yellow-red chromaticity of the raw materials was higher during bisque firing but showed a rapidly decreasing characteristic during glaze firing. The value of magnetic susceptibility, which is related to iron (Fe) component, showed a tendency to decrease in glaze firing pottery. CT images were confirmed as a method that can indirectly estimate the change in the material properties of the object step-by-step for the entire object. In conclusion, the study of manufacturing stages of reproduction can provide basic data for scientific research on the estimation of porcelain and pottery making technology and changes in raw materials.

Plant-derived insecticide-neonicotinoid insecticides (NIs) played a crucial role in the development of agriculture and food industry in recent years. Nevertheless, synthesis of these nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with an effective and greener routing remains challenging especially to the notion raise of "green chemistry" and "atom economy". While bio-catalyzed methods mediated by nicotinate dehydrogenase (NDHase) then provide an alternative. The current review mainly focuses on the introduction of sources, components, structure, catalytic mechanism and applications of NDHase. Specifically, NDHase is known as nicotinic acid hydroxylase and the sources principally derived from phylum Proteobacteria. In addition, NDHase requires the participation of the electron respiratory chain system on the cell membrane. And the most important components of the electron respiratory chain are hydrogen carrier, which is mainly composed of iron-sulfur proteins (Fe-S), flavin dehydrogenase (FAD), molybdenum binding protein and cytochromes. Heterologous expression studies were hampered by the plasmid and host with high efficiency and currently only Pseudomonas entomophila L48 as well as Comamonas testosterone was successfully utilized for the expression of NDHase. Furthermore, it is speculated that the conjugate and inductive effects of the substituent group at position 3 of the substrate pyridine ring exerts a critical role in the hydroxylation reactions at position 6 concerning about the substrate molecular recognition mechanism. Finally, applications of NDHase are addressed in terms of pesticide industry and wastewater treatment. On conclusion, this critical review would not only deepen our understanding of the theory about NDHase, but also provides the guideline for future investigation of NDHase.

The study is to evaluate the effect of bank protection concrete block products to streams and soils. The effect on three types of bank protection concrete blocks was evaluated.. The first type was manufactured using fly ash, and the second and third type products used fine blast furnace slag powder. The laboratory and field Experiments test results showed the pHs of 9 or less. Also, any heavy metals were not detected in the heavy metal leaching tests. Although some iron (Fe) was partially detected, it still met the water quality standards. In addition, heavy metal was detected from all blocks by the US drinking water evaluation standards method. An on-site water quality and soil contamination tests were performed at the places that the blocks were implemented in practice. The test results showed that the application of the bank protection concrete block product did not lead to the water and soil quality degradation. Therefore, it was found that the hardened bank protection concrete block product did not elute harmful substances such as heavy metals that affect water and soil quality degradation.

In this study, the effect of drying temperature on characteristics of the trivalent chromate film on electroplated zinc was investigated. An zinc-electroplated iron specimen with a thickness of 5 ㎛ was used for chromate treatment. Chromate treatment was conducted in a solution diluted 10 times from a mixture of Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂0 360 g/L, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O 60 g/L, Na₂SO₄ 60 g/L, NH₄F·HF 25 g/L, and NaOH 20 g/L. The zinc electroplated specimen was treated using the chromate solution with pH 2.0 at 25 ℃ for 60 s. Subsequently, chromate-treated samples were dried in an electric furnace for 2h with temperature varied from 25 to 125 ℃. The corrosion rate increased with the increase in the drying temperature, and the surface morphology of the chromate-treated film was observed using FE-SEM. When the drying temperature changed, the color of the chromate film changed from green to yellow, and the thickness of the film changed from 362 to 241 nm, respectively. Additionally, corrosion resistance was evaluated via a salt spray test.

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique has been used for the elemental composition of the soils. In this technique, a high energy laser pulse is focused on a sample to produce plasma. From the spectroscopic analysis of such plasma plume, we have determined the different elements present in the soil. This technique is effective and rapid for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of all type of samples. In this work a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser operating with its fundamental mode (1064 nm laser wavelength), 5 nanosecond pulse width, and 10 Hz repetition rate was focused on soil samples using 10 cm quartz lens. The emission spectra of soil consist of Iron (Fe), Calcium (Ca), Titanium (Ti), Silicon (Si), Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Potassium (K), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Mercury (Hg), Barium (Ba), Vanadium (V), Lead (Pb), Nitrogen (N), Scandium (Sc), Hydrogen (H), Strontium (Sr), and Lithium (Li) with different finger-prints of the transition lines. The maximum intensity of the transition lines was observed close to the surface of the sample and it was decreased along the axial direction of the plasma expansion due to the thermalization and the recombination process. We have also determined the plasma parameters such as electron temperature and the electron number density of the plasma using Boltzmann's plot method as well as the Stark broadening of the transition lines respectively. The electron temperature is estimated at 14611 °K, whereas the electron number density i.e. 4.1 × 10¹⁶ cm^-3 lies close to the surface.

Background and Objectives: Chronic periodontitis can lead to alveolar bone resorption and eventually tooth loss. Stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are appropriate bone regeneration seed cells. To track the survival, migration, and differentiation of the transplanted SHED, we used super paramagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIO) Molday ION Rhodamine-B (MIRB) to label and monitor the transplanted cells while repairing periodontal bone defects. Methods and Results: We determined an appropriate dose of MIRB for labeling SHED by examining the growth and osteogenic differentiation of labeled SHED. Finally, SHED was labeled with 25 ㎍ Fe/ml MIRB before being transplanted into rats. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to track SHED survival and migration in vivo due to a low-intensity signal artifact caused by MIRB. HE and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that both MIRB-labeled and unlabeled SHED could promote periodontal bone regeneration. The colocalization of hNUC and MIRB demonstrated that SHED transplanted into rats could survive in vivo. Furthermore, some MIRB-positive cells expressed the osteoblast and osteocyte markers OCN and DMP1, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that SHED could secrete protein factors, such as IGF-1, OCN, ALP, IL-4, VEGF, and bFGF, which promote bone regeneration. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the transplanted SHED was surrounded by a large number of host-derived Runx2- and Col II-positive cells that played important roles in the bone healing process. Conclusions: SHED could promote periodontal bone regeneration in rats, and the survival of SHED could be tracked in vivo by labeling them with MIRB. SHED are likely to promote bone healing through both direct differentiation and paracrine mechanisms.

제주도 화산회 기원 토양시료들은 전형적인 안디졸에 해당하는데 낮은 pH, 높은 수분함량, 높은 유기물함량, 식질-미사질 토성을 보여주었다. 결정질 광물 중 현무암 기원의 감람석, 휘석 등의 철고토광물과 자철석 및 적철석 등의 산화철이 주구성광물로 관찰되며 이차광물인 깁사이트가 일부 심토에서 나타나는 것이 특징이다. 그밖에 제주도 화산회 토양은 비정질 알로판 광물과 ferrihydrite 등의 결정도가 낮은 광물을 상당량 포함하고 있다. 주성분원소는 비화산회토양에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 $SiO_2$ 함량과 높은 $A1_2O_3$ 및 $Fe_2O_3$ 함량을 보이는데 이는 전형적인 화산회토의 특성을 반영한다. 토양 내 중금속 함량 중에서 Zn, Ni, Co, Cr은 각자 $84{\sim}198$, $56{\sim}414$, $38{\sim}150$, $132{\sim}1164\;mg\;kg^{-1}$의 범위를 보여 일반적인 세계 토양 내 함량범위를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 Cr의 경우 1,000 ppm 이상의 함량을 가지는 토양 시료도 존재하는 등 제주도 화산회 토양은 높은 Cr 함량을 보이는 것이 특징이다. 제주도 토양의 환원능은 평균 $6.53\;mg\;L^{-1}$ reduced Cr(VI)로서 내륙의 비화산회토양에 비해 5.1배 이상 큰 것으로 나타났다. 비화산회토양의 경우 토양 환원능은 토양의 이화학적 인자 중 총 탄소함량과 매우 좋은 상관관계(R = 0.90)를 보이고 있는 것으로 보고되었으나, 총 탄소함량이 일반 토양에 비해 20배 이상 큰 제주도 화산회 토양의 경우 환원능은 탄소함량과는 오히려 약한 음의 상관관계를 보여주고 있다(R = -0.469). 이러한 결과는 제주도 화산회 토양의 환원능을 제어하는 인자가 탄소함량뿐만 아니라 또 다른 토양 이화학성에 있음을 지시한다. 주성분 원소조성과 환원능의 상관관계분석결과 화산회토 특성을 반영하는 Al과 Fe 원소와 정의 상관관계(R = 0.793, R = 0.626)를 보여주었다. 또한 중금속 원소 중 Ni, Co, Cr 등은 제주도 화산회 토양의 환원능과 정의 상관관계(R = 0.538, R = 0.647, R = 0.468)를 보이고 있다. 산화환원전위에 민감한 Cr 원소의 경우 제주도 화산회토양의 높은 환원능으로 인해 유해하고 이동성이 높은 6가 크롬의 생성 및 이동이 매우 제한될 것으로 판단된다. 또한 제주도 화산회 토양의 환원능을 제어하는 인자는 비정질인 알로판 광물 및 ferrihydrite 등의 화산회토 특성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

국내 바나듐 함유 티탄철석으로부터 직접 산 침출법에 의한 바나듐 및 유가금속의 침출거동과 회수가능성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 국내 연천산 티탄철석 정광은 0.8% V₂O₅를 함유하고 있었으며 HSC 프로그램을 통해 magnetite와 ilmenite의 비율이 1.9:1로 계산되었다. 바나듐 함유 정광으로부터 황산농도 및 온도별 침출실험을 통해 바나듐의 침출율은 Fe의 침출거동과 매우 유사하였으며 ilmenite 내 Ti의 침출은 75℃ 이상에서 TiOSO₄의 형태로 침출 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. VTM 정광 내 V, Fe, Ti의 침출율을 향상시키기 위해 황산산화 및 황산환원침출을 수행하였고 환원제로 Na₂SO₃를 사용할 시 바나듐의 침출율은 80% 였으나 Ti의 침출율은 황산침출과 비교하여 20% 상승한 55%까지 침출되었다. 반면 산화제로 Na₂S₂O₈을 첨가할 시, 바나듐은 거의 전량 침출되었으며 XRD 기기분석을 통해 잔사 내 주성분이 ilmenite임을 알 수 있었다. 산화 및 환원 침출용액으로부터 유가금속의 회수가능성에 대한 용매추출 연구를 통해 산화 침출용액에서는 그 어떤 금속도 선택성이 없었던 반면 환원침출용액에서는 Cyanex 923 용매화 추출제에 의해 Ti이 Fe와 V으로부터 선택적으로 추출될 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.
