  • The marine sponge Petrosia sp. is known for various bioactive compounds including the recently reported polyacetylenic alcohols. In our continuous survey of bioactive compounds from the Petrosia sp. collected from Korean waters, a cyclopentanepentol which rarely occurs in natural products has been isolated. It was found to inhibit DNA replication at the initiation step.

  • Industrial by-products generated by integrated iron and steel manufacture cause environmental pollution. The by-products contain not only iron element but also harmful substances. Therefore, in view of to waste recycling and environmental preservation, production of sponge iron using the by-product is considered an effective recycling method. In this study, reduction efficiency of pellets from blast furnace dust was measured. Metallization was found to be increased, as $C/Fe_{total}$ ratio and reaction time were increased. The pellets were formed into a globular shape, and calcined for 60 minutes at $1100^{\circ}C$ in an electric furnace. Phase changes were analyzed using an X-ray diffractometer. Microstructures of the pellets were observed by a scanning electron microscope.

  • This study presents a development of the cleaning system in a nuclear power plant condenser. The tube cleaning system is very important equipment in a power plant condenser. Specially, removal of the fouling is a key process in the condenser tube. The objective of this study is development of a ball collector system for cleaning a condenser by using a sponge ball. This study uses CFD in order to optimize design of the ball strainer screen. Through the CFD, the implication of the ball strainer screen for static pressure distribution is examined. Results of research, this study have developed a 1/5 scale model for application to the power plant and developed a performance test equipment.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop an impact force measurement device in order to facilitate the acquisition of quantitative data for the analysis of various sporting events. The device was designed to include cylindrical aluminum supports of 220 mm diameter, which allows mounting and dismounting of the device on walls and frames. In addition, a hard sponge for impact absorption, as well as 4 springs, were attached to the plate. Both were attached to prevent psychological variables and injuries. When a subject applies force on the device, accurate data about the maximum repulsive force is acquired in real time, with a lag of only 0.001 s. The device was calibrated in four steps: (1) increase, (2) increase, (3) increase-decrease, and (4) increase-decrease. The maximum relative expanded uncertainty was 0.166%, indicating that the impact force measurement was sufficiently reliable. The proposed device can be applied to various sporting situations and is expected to be useful for studying kinetics.

  • Four 5,8-epidioxy sterols were isolated from the marine sponge Plakortis simplex. Their structures were completely determined by an extensive NMR analysis and comparison with NMR data of similar compounds for absolute stereochemistry of the side chain. The compounds were assigned as 5,8-epidioxy- (24S)-ethylcholesta-6,22(E),25-trien-3-ol(1), 5,8-epidioxy-(24S)-methylcholesta- 6,22(E)-dien-3-ol(2), 5,8-epidioxycholesta-6,22(E)-dien-3-ol(3) and 5,8- epidioxycholesta-6-en-3-ol (4).

  • Four new cyclic peroxide compounds (1~4) were isolated from the marine sponge Plakortis simplex. Their structures including relative stereochemistry were determined by MS and NMR analysis. All compounds, a side carbon chain with 10 carbons, were very unstable. After transformation into methyl ester analogues, the structure determination was conducted. Compounds 1a and 2a are stereoisomers, assigned as $3S^*$, $4S^*$, $6R^*$ and $3R^*$, $4S^*$, $6R^*$, respectively. Similarly, compounds 3a and 4a, replaced the methoxy group with an aliphatic methyl, are also stereoisomers. Compounds 1a and 2a exhibited the strong antifungal effect against the fungus Candida albicans.
