  • We measured the reductions in size and solubility of mackerel muscle that was freeze-dried, deoiled by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-$CO_2$), or roasted. The percent size reduction and solubility were high in SC-$CO_2$-treated muscle compared with freeze-dried and roasted muscle. We used oil-free residues to test for heavy metals and determine microbial safety. The SC-$CO_2$, hexane, and ethanol were used to separate oil from muscle. The concentrations of cadmium (Cd) in all treated muscles were less than the values reported in the literature, as were the concentrations of lead in SC-$CO_2$- and hexane- treated muscle. In contrast, concentrations of arsenic and mercury in muscles were greater than the reported values regardless of treatment. Zinc and iron, which are beneficial for health, were found in high levels after all treatments of muscle tissue. After 6 months of storage at different temperatures, SC-$CO_2$-and ethanol-treated muscle showed few bacterial colonies, and none were found after 4 months of storage at $-20^{\circ}C$. These results will be useful to food-processing industries for maintaining high-quality, safe mackerel muscle.

  • In order to realize the high luminance and luminous efficacy MFFLs for LCD backlights, we optimized the phosphor profile to enlarge the surface area. The MFFL with the new phosphor profile shows a very wide luminance range from 2,600 to 17,000 nit with the corresponding luminous efficacy from 66 to 32.5 lm/W. The results were obtained with the color coordinate of the phosphor to be around (0.25, 0.23). And the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a 32 inch-sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive local dimming and scanning drive using dual auxiliary electrodes and bipolar drive scheme. Especially the ultra high luminance and luminous efficacy results suggest the duty time of illumination of the backlight unit can be significantly reduced.

  • Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(ISAS/JAXA) successfully developed and operated the microwave discharge ion engines onboard Hayabusa asteroid explorer. The ${\mu}10$ ion engines feature the cathode-less plasma generation in both the ion generators and neutralizers with the results of long life and high reliability in space. Based on the space achievements of ${\mu}10$ ion engines with 8mN thrust, 3,000sec Isp and 350W consumption power, several programs are currently under developments: ${\mu}20$, ${\mu}10$HIsp and ${\mu}1$. The first is a 20-cm diameter microwave discharge ion engine, aiming to achieve 30mN/kW in the thrustto-power ratio for the asteroid sample return mission larger than Hayabusa. The second is a high Isp version of ${\mu}10$, and exhausts the plasma beam over 10,000sec Isp using 15kV acceleration voltage for deep space missions to such as Jupiter and Mercury. The third is ${\mu}1$ to be adapted to small satellites for drag-free.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of protective effect by sodium selenite in methylmercuric chloride neurotoxicity, increasing intracellular $Ca^{2+}$concentration of the neuron. Methylmercuric chloride of 3mg/kg of body weight was administered simultaneously with sodium selenite of 5mg/kg and pretreatment of sodium selenite via intraperitoneal injection to rats. Also, effect of methylmercuric chloride($25{\mu}M,\;50{\mu}M,\;100{\mu}M$) and sodium selenite($200{\mu}M$) on free intrasynaptosomal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration were studied using the fluorescent $Ca^{2+}$ indicator fura -2 in vitro. After the treatment, at 6, 24, and 48 hours later, mercury in the cerebral cortex, liver and kidney tissues, succlnic dehydrogenase activities, adenosin-5'-triphosphate concentration, acetylcholinesterase activities, and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the cerebral cortex were determined in vivo. Cerebral synaptosomes of rats were incubated with methylmercuric chloride and sodium selenite in Hepes buffer for 10 minutes and free intrasynaptosomal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration were measured with fura-2 in vitro. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. The combined administration of $CH_3HgCl$ and $Na_2SeO_3$ and pretreatment of $Na_2SeO_3$ according to time significantly more increased in the cerebral cortex and decreased in the liver, kidney mercury concentrations compared to the administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only. 2. The combined administration of $CH_3HgCl$ and $Na_2SeO_3$ and pretreatment of $Na_2SeO_3$ increased more succinic dehydrogenase and acetylcholinesterase activities compared to the administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only. Particularly pretreatment of $Na_2SeO_3$ significantly more compared to the administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only. The concentration of adenosine-5'-triphosphate in $Na_2SeO_3$ treatment groups revealed a favourable effect compared to the administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only. 3. Intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only was increased significantly more than control group in all test hours but was increased significantly more at 48 hours only after treatment in combined administration of $CH_3HgCl$ and $Na_2SeO_3$ and pretreatment of $Na_2SeO_3$ according to time interval more decreased significantly intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration compared to the administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only. 4. Free intrasynaptosomal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the combined administration of $CH_3HgCl$ and $Na_2SeO_3$ was decreased ($24%{\sim}40%$) significantly more than the administration of $CH_3HgCl$ only. From the above results, the specific dosage of $Na_2SeO_3$ decreased increment of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration induced by administration of $CH_3HgCl$. These findings suggest the protective mechanism of $Na_2SeO_3$ on the neurotoxicity of $CH_3HgCl$.

  • 난분해성 폐수인 사진현상폐수의 $UV/H_2O_2$$H_2O_2$의 고급산화에 의한 오염물질의 제거 실험을 실시하였다. $UV/H_2O_2$ 산화에서 $H_2O_2$의 분해로 $OH^-$ 라디칼이 발생되는데 파장 190~300 nm의 UV가 반응의 촉매 역할을 한다. $OH^-$ 라디칼은 수명은 짧으나 강력한 산화력을 갖고 있는데, 이 산화력은 폐수처리에서 폐수나 액상 폐기물의 유기물질을 제거하는데 이용된다. 본 연구에서 기존의 tube형 반응조의 단점을 보완한 UV-자유반사 반응조를 제작하여 사용하였으며 UV원으로는 수은 고압램프가 이용되었다. 본 실험에서는 반응시간과 $H_2O_2$ 주입량 및 pH 변화에 따른 오염물의 처리효율의 변화를 조사하였는데 $H_2O_2$의 주입량이 증가할수록 처리효율이 높았으나 그 차이는 미미하였으며, pH 8에서 보다는 3에서 처리효율이 약간 높았으나 그 차이 역시 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서 사진현상폐수 처리의 적정 운전조건은 pH 8, $H_2O_2$ 주입량은 유입수의 COD를 기준으로 한 1.3배 화학량론적 주입으로 나타났는데, 5시간의 처리에서 $COD_{Cr}$, TOC 및 색도의 제거효율은 각각 약 47.5%, 75.0% 및 91.5%로 나타났다. 반응 후 생분해성의 지표인 BOD/COD 비는 초기 0.04에서 0.21로 약 5.3배 증가하였다.

  • LCD는 비발광형 소자이므로 배면광이 필요하다. 현재의 LCD 배면광용 냉음극 형광램프는 전기-광학적 특성을 좋게 하기 위하여 수은방전을 사용한다. 그러나 수은의 이용은 외부 온도에 따라 특성이 변하는 결점과 환경 문제가 있다. 이 결점을 보완하기 위하여 원통방전형, 미세방전형 그리고 평면방전형 등 세가지 방식의 무수은 램프가 개발되어 왔다. 원통 방전형 무수은 램프는 수은 대신 Xe을 사용한다. Xe 방전이 수축되는 것을 막기 위하여 한쪽 전극은 외벽에 코일형태로 감아서 사용한다. 그리고 코일형태의 전극의 권선 간격을 조절하여 균일한 방전을 얻는다. 이 형태는 무수은 냉음극 형광램프의 두배의 광속을 얻을 수가 있다. 미세방전형 무수은 램프는 두 개의 절연체로 절연되 금속 전극사이의 방전공간에 수많은 미세방전을 일으켜 발광시킨다. 이 방식은 대향 방전구조와 면 방전구조의 두가지가 있다. 이 방식은 전극이 유전체로 둘러쌓여 있으므로 수명이 높다. 새로운 평면방전형 무수은 램프를 개발하였다. 이 램프는 두 개의 유리평판 사이에 방전공간을 만들고 한쪽 유리면의 양쪽 가장자리에 두 개의 전극을 설치하여 면방전을 유도한다. 양쪽 유리면에는 삼원색 형광체를 도포하고 Xe을 봉입하여 Xe의 진공자외선으로 형광체를 발광시킨다. 이 램프는 전극이 유전체로 덮혀있어 수명이 길다. 실험결과 기체압력 6.7[kPa], 구동전압 1,130[V]에서 최대휘도 9,200[$cd/m^2$], 광효율 20.4[lm/W]을 었었고, 기체 압력 2.7[kPa] 구동전압 1,120[V]에서 최대효율 34.1[lm/W], 휘도 1,080[$cd/m^2$]을 얻었다. 현재 무수은 램프는 수은 램프에 비해서 광학적 특성이 좋지 못하다. 무수은 램프에서 좋은 광학적 특성을 얻기 위해 가장 중요한 것은 수축이 없이 방전을 확산시키는 것이다. 이를 위해서 램프구조와 구동법을 최적화하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 기체압력을 높임으로서 Xe의 여기복사를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • 염산 제조과정에서 생성될 가능성이 있는 협잡물이나 침산과정에서 혼합될 수 있는 혼합물이 침산방법에 의한 가잠의 인공부화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 조사한 결과 철, 수은, 연, 비색 등은 부화에 별다른 영향이 없었으나 아황산(SO$_3$)과 유리염소(Cl)는 대단히 유해한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 침산시 염산을 5$0^{\circ}C$로 가열하여 각종 유해 개스를 제거할 후 사용하는 것이 좋으며 보다 안전한 인공부과를 기하기 위해서는 여러가지 염산표준액을 만들어 예비침산을 행한 후 본침산을 하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • This study examined chemical characterization in commercial dark-fleshed fish (mackerel Scomber japonicus, Japanese Spanish mackerel Scomberomorus niphonius, and Pacific herring Clupea pallasii) to determine their suitability for use as raw materials for seafood products. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), heavy metal, radioactivity, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), benzo[a]pyrene, and histamine concentrations were measured. The VBN in all of the dark-fleshed fish was less than 20 mg/100 g, which is the limit for raw materials for seafood processing. Except for mackerel based on the lead (Pb) standards of the European Union (EU), Taiwan, and CODEX, and all fish based on the cadmium (Cd) standards for China and the EU, the commercial dark-fleshed fish were free from total mercury (Hg), Pb, and Cd based on domestic and foreign standards. The radioactivity, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), benzo[a]pyrene, and histamine concentrations of the commercial dark-fleshed fish all adhered to the domestic and foreign standards. The commercial dark-fleshed fish tested could all be used as raw materials for seafood products, except for some exported products.

  • Cancer, a serious public health problem in worldwide, results from an excessive and uncontrolled proliferation of the body cells without obvious physiological demands of organs. The gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach and intestine, is a unique organ system. It has the highest cancer incidence and cancer-related mortality in the body and is influenceed by both genetic and environmental factors. Among the various chemical elements recognized in the nature, some of them including zinc, iron, cobalt, and copper have essential roles in the various biochemical and physiological processes, but only at low levels and others such as cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic, and nickel are considered as threats for human health especially with chronic exposure at high levels. Cadmium, an environment contaminant, cannot be destroyed in nature. Through impairment of vitamin D metabolism in the kidney it causes nephrotoxicity and subsequently bone metabolism impairment and fragility. The major mechanisms involved in cadmium carcinogenesis could be related to the suppression of gene expression, inhibition of DNA damage repair, inhibition of apoptosis, and induction of oxidative stress. In addition, cadmium may act through aberrant DNA methylation. Cadmium affects multiple cellular processes, including signal transduction pathways, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Down-regulation of methyltransferases enzymes and reduction of DNA methylation have been stated as epigenetic effects of cadmium. Furthermore, increasing intracellular free calcium ion levels induces neuronal apoptosis in addition to other deleterious influence on the stability of the genome.
