환경문제를 야기시켰던 해상용 FRP재활용에 대해 지난 10여 년간 다양한 국가적 지원이 이루어져서 폐FRP로부터 콘크리트 강화용 섬유 제작이 진행되어 왔다. 이렇게 제작된 강화 콘크리트에 대해 구조적 능력까지 시험한 바 있다. 시험 테스트 결과 재활용 FRP 가루를 사용한 콘크리트는 고강도 콘크리트의 압축강도를 감소시키지 않았을 뿐 만 아니라, 고강도 콘크리트의 내폭 특성을 상당히 증대시켰다. 그러나 폐FRP로부터 매트층의 분리 방법이 안정화되지 않았기 때문에 폐FRP 섬유 가루의 특성에 대한 연구는 종결되지 않았다. 본 연구는 폐FRP로부터 매트층을 분리하는 효과적이며 친환경적인 새로운 방법에 관한 것이며, 이것은 내폭성이 강한 제품이나 구조물에 적합한 FRP섬유가루 생산 공정에 유용한 재활용 공정이라 생각한다.

폐 FRP 양의 증가는 환경적 문제를 일으키고 있다. 최근 폐 FRP로부터 콘크리트를 보강시킬 수 있는 섬유를 만들 수 있는 기술이 개발되었으며, 재활용 섬유로 강화된 콘크리트 제품의 구조적 성능을 연구하기 위한 시험도 수행되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 폐 FRP에서 생성되는 재활용 섬유 분진이 고강도 콘크리트의 압축강도와 내화성능에 주는 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 실험적 강도 측정 결과 재활용 섬유 분진의 부피 분율이 0.7%보다 작으면 그 분진을 사용하더라도 고강도 콘크리트의 압축강도가 감소하지 않았다. 전기로 시험 결과 역시 재활용 섬유 분진의 사용으로 고강도 콘크리트의 내화성이 크게 향상될 수 있음을 보였다.

Experimental study in laminar propane coflow jet flames has been conducted to investigate self-excitations. For various propane mole fractions and jet velocities, two types of self-excitation were observed: (1) buoyancydriven self-excitation (hereafter called BDSE) and (2) Lewis-number-induced self-excitation coupled with (1) (hereafter called LCB). The mechanism of Lewis-number-induced self-excitation (hereafter called LISE) is proposed. When the system $Damk\ddot{o}hler$ number was lowered, LISE was shown to be launched. The LISE is closely related to heat loss, such that it can be launched in even helium-diluted methane coflow-jet flame (Lewis number less than unity). Particularly, The LISE becomes significant as the $Damk\ddot{o}hler$ number decreases and heat-loss is excessively large.

The nutritional demand of oyster larva (Crassostrea gigas) were investigated to determine the optimal culture conditions and improve micro-algae utilization. Changes in nutrients and shell growth were examined in fed and 96-h (48 h in late umbone stage) oysters at four larval stages. Shell growth increased significantly in D shape larvae, regardless of feeding variations. No growth was observed in starved larvae, except in shell length of umbone (to 11.9 ${\mu}m$). Fed larvae showed significant growth in all development stages (P < 0.05). During starvation, lipids were most significantly decreased in all larval stages (by 76.8%, 68.3%, 76.3%, and 40.3%, respectively), followed by protein (41.1%, 31.1%, 33.1%, 16.7%) and nitrogen-free extracts (40.8%, 24.3%, 36.9%, 20.1%), Gross energy (kcal/g) consumption in each larval stage was 49.6%, 35.1%, 39.1%, and 20.4%, respectively. Our results indicate that lipids are the most important energy source during the early larval development stages of C. gigas.

바다와 육지의 경계에 있는 해변은 매우 동적인 해역으로 여기에 해수의 운동이 퇴적물, 육지의 바위 또는 인공구조물과 상호 작용한다. 심한 태풍이나 폭풍이 야기한 파랑의 영향으로부터 해변의 침식을 막거나 지연시키기 위해 영구적인 구조물을 설치하지만 해양경관을 해침은 물론 이의 파급효과로 또 다른 침식현상이 일어나기도 한다. 파가 부숴지는 쇄파대와 쇄파선 밖의 외해에서 표사의 이동 및 침식을 가속시키는 관련 에너지를 고려할 때에는 파고 및 파의 주기를 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 부차적인 영향을 나타내지 않으면서 파력을 줄일 수 있는 해저 구조물로 인공 Bio-reef를 도입하고 이를 통한 해양생태계의 복원의 예와 아울러 수치모델을 도입하여 가장 근원이 되는 파랑의 저감효과를 분석하여 적용가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 해변을 보호하기 위한 새로운 기술은 인공적 및 자연적 켈프 또는 해양식물을 식생시킨 해저리프에 의한다. 연안리프의 형상을 공학적으로 접근하여 각각의 파랑저감력을 최적화할 수 있다 높고 넓은 긴 인공 리프는 파랑에너지를 막을 수 있는 좋은 장벽이 되나 공사재료의 양, 항해위험, 건설방법 및 다른 인자에서 리프의 전체 설계에 대해 공학적인 고려가 필요하다.

The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) based on the water temperature and body size of the sea squirt Halocynthia roretzi was examined to provide quantitative information about the metabolic response of the species. OCRs were measured using a closed flow-through respirometer at four different water temperatures (10, 15, 20 and 25℃) and two different body sizes (21.4±1.1 g and 150.5±1.3 g, wet weight) with triplicates of each treatment. OCR increased as water temperature increased at both body sizes, but decreased as body size increased regardless of the water temperature (P<0.001). The effect of body size evaluated as a power function ranged from 0.8055 to 0.8884. The highest Q₁₀ values in the small and large size groups ranged from 15 to 20℃ and 20 to 25℃, respectively. The metabolic daily energy loss rate via respiration at all tested temperatures ranged from 56.2 to 106.1 J g^-1 d^-1 in the small-size group and from 44.5 to 92.0 J g^-1 d^-1 in the large-size group. Our results indicate that the metabolic response of H. roretzi highly depends on fluctuating water temperature at a given life stage.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of bacteria-derived $\beta$-glucan fiber on serum lipids, adiposity and uncoupling protein (UCP) expression in rats. In order to induce obesity, Sprague-Dawley weanling male rats were allowed free access to AIN-76A diet until 4 weeks of age, and fed high-fat diet (beef tallow, $40\%$ of calories as fat) for 6 weeks until 10 weeks of age. Rats were then fed with $0\%$ thigh- fat control group), $1\%$, or $5\%$ bacterial ~-glucan supplemented high-fat diets (w/w) for another 6 weeks. For comparison, normal control group was fed with AIN-76 diet $11.7\%$ fat). Supplementation with bacterial $\beta$-glucan resulted in a significant reduction of high-fat-induced white fat (i.e., visceral and peritoneal fat) development, adipocyte hypertrophy, and development of hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia. Serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and free fatty acid levels were greatly reduced, but, HDL-cholesterol concentrations were increased by bacterial $\beta$-glucan supplementation. Serum leptin level was lower in the $\beta$-glucan groups than in the high-fat group. The expression of UCPs (UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) were significantly increased by $5\%$ bacterial $\beta$-glucan-containing diet. This study suggests that the anti-obesity effect of $5\%$ bacterial $\beta$-glucan is attributed to upregulation of UCPs and inefficient energy utilization.

Sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC), equipped with Zn, Al, Cu, Fe or graphite felt (GF) anode and marine sediment, was performed. Graphite felt was used as a common cathode. SMFC was single chambered and did not use any redox mediator. The aim of this work was to find efficient anodic material. Oxidation reduction potential (ORP), cell voltage, current density, power density, pH and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were measured for SMFC's performance.. The order of maximum power density was $913mWm^{-2}$ for Zn, $646mWm^{-2}$ for Fe, $387.8mWm^{-2}$ for Cu, $266mWm^{-2}$ for Al, and $127mWm^{-2}$ for graphite felt (GF). The current density over voltage was found to be strongly correlated with metal electrodes, but the graphite felt electrode, in which relatively weaker electricity was observed because of its bio-oriented mechanism. Metal corrosion reactions and/or a complicated microbial electron transfer mechanism acting around the anodic compartment may facilitate to generate electricity. We presume that more sophisticated selection of anodic material can lead to better performance in SMFC.

The green synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) using biomaterials has garnered considerable attention in recent years because of its eco-friendly, non-toxic, simple, and low-cost nature. In this study, we synthesized NPs of noble metals, such as Ag and Au using an aqueous extract of a marine seaweed, Ecklonia cava. The formation of AgNPs and AuNPs was confirmed by the presence of surface plasmon resonance peaks in UV-Vis absorption spectra at approximately 430 and 530 nm, respectively. Various properties of the NPs were evaluated using characterization techniques, such as dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Phytochemicals in the seaweed extract, such as phlorotannins, acted as both reducing and stabilizing agents for the growth of the NPs. The green-synthesized AgNPs and AuNPs were found to exhibit high catalytic activity for the decomposition of organic dyes, including azo dyes, methylene blue, rhodamine B, and methyl orange.

Rock bream iridovirus (RBIV) causes high mortality and economic losses in rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) aquaculture industry in Korea. Although, the immune responses of rock bream under RBIV infection have been studied, there is not much information at the different stages of infection (initial, middle and recovery). Gene expression profiling of rock bream under different RBIV infection stages was investigated using a microarray approaches. In total, 5699 and 6557 genes were significantly up- or down-regulated over 2-fold, respectively, upon RBIV infection. These genes were grouped into categories such as innate immune responses, adaptive immune responses, complements, lectin, antibacterial molecule, stress responses, DNA/RNA binding, energy metabolism, transport and cell cycle. Interestingly, hemoglobins (α and β) appears to be important during pathogenesis; it is highly up-regulated at the initial stage and is gradually decreased when the pathogen most likely multiplying and fish begin to die at the middle or later stage. Expression levels were re-elevated at the recovery stage of infection. Among up-regulated genes, interferon-related genes were found to be responsive in most stages of RBIV infection. Moreover, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP)-associated factor 1 (XAF1) expression was high, whereas expression of apoptosis-relate genes were low. In addition, stress responses were highly induced in the virus infection. The cDNA microarray data were validated using quantative real-time PCR. Our results provide novel inslights into the broad immune responses triggered by RBIV at different infection stages.
