  • As global warming continues over the coming century, marine organisms will experience a warmer, more acidic ocean. Although these stressors may behave antagonistically or synergistically and will impact organisms both directly (i.e., physiologically) and indirectly (i.e., through altered species interactions), few studies have examined the complexities of these effects in combination. To address these uncertainties, we examined the independent and combined effects of elevated temperature and $pCO_2$ on the physiology of the adult sporophyte stage of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, and the grazing of the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. While elevating $pCO_2$ alone had no effect on M. pyrifera growth or photosynthetic carbon uptake, elevating temperature alone resulted in a significant reduction in both. However, when M. pyrifera was grown under elevated temperature and $pCO_2$ together, growth and photosynthetic carbon uptake significantly increased relative to ambient conditions, suggesting an interaction of these factors on photosynthetic physiology. S. purpuratus held under future conditions generally exhibited reduced growth, and smaller gonads than urchins held under present-day conditions. However, urchins fed kelp grown under future conditions showed higher growth rates, partially ameliorating this effect. Feeding rates were variable over the course of the experiment, with only the first feeding rate experiment showing significantly lower rates for urchins held under future conditions. Together, these data suggest that M. pyrifera may benefit physiologically from a warmer, more acidic (i.e., higher $pCO_2$) ocean while S. purpuratus will likely be impacted negatively. Given that kelp-urchin interactions can be important to kelp forest structure, changes to either of these populations may have serious consequences for many coastal environments.

  • 이 글은 대학 연구의 상업화 경향의 하나로 대학의 특허활동을 살펴본다. 대학의 특허출원이 얼마나 활발하게 일어나고 있는지, 이를 추동한 요인은 무엇인지를 국가의 역할을 중심으로 밝히고자 한다. 1990년대 후반 정부는 당면한 경제위기를 극복하기 위해 과거와는 달리 과학기술정책에서 '기술혁신'이라는 새로운 이념을 내세우고 대학연구개발의 중요성을 새롭게 인식하기 시작하였다. 이에 따라 대학의 연구개발을 적극 지원하는 행정적 재정적 법률적 제도가 정비되었고 연구개발 투자도 극적으로 증가하였다. 특히 미래 신기술 분야(6T)에 대한 재정지원이 눈에 띠게 증가하였다. 대학에서 생산된 연구성과를 기업에 이전하고 상업화를 촉진하기 위한 지적재산권 관리제도도 마련하였다. 각 대학에서는 교원의 업적평가에 특허와 기술이전 성과 지표를 반영하여 연구자의 특허 출원을 독려하였다. 이처럼 정부의 적극적인 행정적 재정적 법률적 지원으로 인해 대학의 특허 출원을 독려하는 여건이 조성되자 실제로 대학의 특허 출원 건수와 생산성이 극적으로 증가하였다. 미래 신기술(6T)에 대한 투자는 관련 기술의 특허 출원 건수 증가로 나타났다. 하지만 대학의 특허 출원은 소수 몇 개 대학에 집중된 것으로 드러나 마태효과가 나타나고 있음을 보여주었다.

  • The method of foam fractionation can be applied to enrich proteins from a dilute protein solution if the proteins are hydrophobic and foam. If a protein, such as invertase, is hydrophilic, a dilute solution containing this protein may not foam. In that case, a batch foam fractionation process may not be appropriate for recovering a concentrated solution of that protein. In this paper, various concentrations of invertase were added to a dilute solution containing bromelain (a hydrophobic protein), in order to determine how the presence of a hydrophilic protein can affect the recovery of the desired hydrophobic protein. The effect of invertase on bromelain recovery was studied here at an initial bulk solution pH of 5 and an air superficial velocity of 4.6 cm/s.

  • 반도체 공정의 발전에 의해 새롭게 요구되어지는 underfill의 개발을 위해, epoxy/anhydride/ cobalt(II)촉매와 크기가 다른 두 종류(1 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 8 $\mu\textrm{m}$)의 용융 실리카를 충진제로 하여 충진율에 따른 시료의 물성을 측정하고 결과 값의 상호관계를 분석하였다. 우선 $80^{\circ}C$의 흐름공정에서는 경화반응을 일으키지 않고, 성형공정에서 빠른 경화와 100% 경화를 얻기 위해서는 15분간 $160^{\circ}C$로 경화시킨다는 조건에서 1.0 wt%의 촉매가 요구된다는 것을 경화 profile을 이용하여 알 수 있었다. 필러 충진에 따른 표면장력과 점도의 변화 관찰을 통해, real flow가 점도의 변화에 따라 급격한 변화를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 필러가 충진된 시료의 경우 만족할 만한 흐름성을 보여주지 못하였지만 점도개선을 통해 gap크기가 작은 새로운 공정에 적절히 이용되리라 판단되며, 8 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 필러가 충진된 시료의 경우는 55~60 vol%에서 높은 흐름성을 나타내고 있다. 마지막으로 Matthew 모델은 높은 점도- 낮은 표면장력 underfill의 경우에만 침투거리 예측이 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 논토양에서 물관리 및 볏짚시용이 메탄배출에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 물관리로는 상시담수와 간단관개의 2처리로 하고 각각에 삼요소를 대조로 하여 볏짚의 시용효과를 조사하였다. 메탄배출량은 $0.066g\;CH_4m^{-2}d^{-1}{\sim}0.455g\;CH_4 m^{-2}d^{-1}$의 범위였다. 상시담수보다 간단관개의 NPK구에서는 70%, NPK+볏짚시용구에서는 47%의 메탄 배출저감효과가 인정되었다. 간단관개조건에서 볏짚을 전량 작토에 환원한다고 가정할 때 우리나라 메탄 총배출량은 399,590톤/년으로 추정된다. 이 양은 OECD의 참고값 대비 56%, Neue와는 51%, Matthew와는 62%로 낮고 Taylor와는 118%로 높다.

  • Foam fractionation can be used to enrich a hydrophobic protein such as bromelain from an aerated dilute protein solution because the protein foams. On the other hand, a protein such as invertase, which is hydrophilic, is not likely to foam under similar aerated conditions. While a foam fractionation process may not be appropriate for recovering a hydrophilic protein alone, it is of interest to see how that non-foaming protein affects the foaming protein when the two are together in a mixture. The bromelain enrichment, activity and mass recovery were observed as a function of the solution pH in order to explore how invertase can affect the recovery of bromelain in a foam fractionation process.

  • 본 연구에서는 고변형된 이중 에피층에서 두 가지 종류의 반원 전위 루프 ($60^{\circ}$및 쌍격자 전위)의 생성 속도물 예측하는 모델을 제안한다. 모델링 시, 에피층 표면에서 발생하는 결함과 이곳에 집중되는 응력 효과를 고려하였으며, Matthew의 식을 발전시켜 에피층 두께에 따른 잔류 변형율을 변수로 사용하였다. 모델링을 통한 계산 결과에 의하면, 응력 집중 현상은 고변형된 이종에피층에서 전위 및 결정 결함 현상을 설명하는 데 매우 중요하였다. 또한,본 연구를 퉁하여, 응력 집중 현상이 에피층 성장 초기에 생성되는 전위 형태를 결정하는 주요한 인자 중 하나임을 단면 투과 전자 현미경 결과와의 비교를 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

  • The objective of the present experimental study is to investigate the effect of inlet throttling on the thermohydraulic stability of a large scale water-based Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS). The test was performed using the water-based Natural convection Shutdown heat removal Test Facility (NSTF) at Argonne, which represented a ½ axial scale and 12.5° sector slice of the full scale Framatome 625 MWt SC-HTGR RCCS concept. A two-phase steady state was first established through direct condensate refill, followed by increased inlet throttling over 10 stages, corresponding to a loss coefficient K over the range of 0.05-653. With the inlet throttling gradually increased, the system experienced a unique transition process between stabilization and destabilization. Through a stability analysis, three instability mechanisms were identified in the present test, including a compound mechanism due to both natural circulation oscillations (NCOs) and density wave oscillations (DWOs), Type-II DWOs, and geysering.

  • Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concomitant open distal clavicle excision (DCE) on postoperative clinical outcomes and incidence of acromial and scapular stress fractures (ASFs) in patients with symptomatic acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis (ACJ OA) undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). Methods: A single-surgeon retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients who underwent primary elective RTSA with or without DCE from 2015 to 2019 with a minimum 6-month follow-up period. Shoulder active range of motion (AROM) and visual analog scale (VAS) pain were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively. ASFs and other adverse events were identified using postoperative notes and/or radiographs. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between the RTSA and RTSA-DCE groups. Results: Forty-six RTSA patients (mean age, 67.9±8.7 years; 60.9% male; mean follow-up, 24.9±16.6 months) and 70 RTSA-DCE patients (mean age, 70.2±8.9 years; 20.0% male; mean follow-up, 22.7±12.9 months) were included. There were no significant intergroup differences in rates of ASF (RTSA, 0.0% vs. RTSA-DCE, 1.4%; P=1.00), stress reactions (RTSA, 8.7% vs. RTSA-DCE, 11.4%; P=0.76), reoperation, revision, or infection (all P>0.05), or in pre-to-postoperative reduction in VAS pain (P=0.17) at latest follow-up. However, the RTSA-DCE group had greater pre-to-postoperative improvement in flexion AROM (RTSA, 43.7°±38.5° vs. RTSA-DCE, 59.5°±33.4°; P=0.03) and internal rotation (IR) AROM (P=0.02) at latest follow-up. Conclusions: Concomitant DCE in RTSA improves shoulder flexion and IR AROM, alleviates shoulder pain, and does not increase the risk of ASFs. Level of evidence: III.

  • This paper discusses a study of cement mortar reinforced with Graphene Oxide (GO) flakes carried out at the University of Plymouth. Over 60 specimens were prepared and tested to obtain the tensile, compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar with/without 0.5% GO flakes by weight of cement. The dispersion of the GO flakes and the effect of the use of polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer (0.2% by weight of cement) on the material strength are discussed. Images of the particle sizes of GO are presented from the transmission electron microscopy analysis. In addition, the images from the field emission scanning electron microscope analysis are also presented to show the difference of the microscopic structure of cement mortar with/without GO. The results of the strength tests are presented. It is shown that the inclusion of the GO flakes in general led to positive results, which suggest that GO improved the tensile, compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar.
