전북 장수군 대유광산에 부존하는 페그마타이트내 전기석에는 네 종류의 유체포유물이 풍부하게 포획되어 있다. 유체포유물의 크기는 $5{\sim}100\;{\mu}m$이고, 상온에서 관찰되는 상(phase)의 거동에 따라 I, II, III, IV형으로 분류된다. I형은 액체가 풍부하고 기포의 크기가 50 vol% 이하인 것으로 공융온도(eutectic point)는 $-54{\sim}-29^{\circ}C$, NaCl상당 염 농도(이하염도)는 $0{\sim}12\;wt%$, 균질화온도는 $181{\sim}230^{\circ}C$이다. II형은 기포의 크기가 $80{\sim}90\;vol%$ 이상을 차지하는 포유물로서 역시 낮은 공융온도($-54{\sim}-22^{\circ}C$)를 보이며, 염도는 $3{\sim}8\;wt%$, 균질화온도는 $177{\sim}304^{\circ}C$ 범위이다. III형은 액체가 풍부하고 암염(halite)을 딸결정으로 포함하는 포유물로서 균질화온도는 $230{\sim}328^{\circ}C$, 염도는 $31{\sim}40\;wt%$이다. III형은 규산염용융포유물과 연관되어 산출되며 가열실험 중에 90% 이상의 포유물이 기포가 사라진 후에 암염이 용해되는 거동을 보인다. IV형은 $CO_{2}$를 함유하면서 칼리암염(sylvite)이나 암염을 딸결정으로 포함하는 포유물물로서 전기석에 가장 풍부하게 포획되어 있다. $CO_{2}$시스템의 밀도는 $0.80{\sim}0.75\;g/cm^{3}$, 균질화 온도는 $190{\sim}317^{\circ}C$, 염도는 $2{\sim}35\;wt%$이다. 멜트(melt)에서 가장 먼저 용리된 유체로부터 형성된 유체포유물은 규산염용융포유물과 공간적으로 연관되어 산출되는 III형이며 I형에 비해 전기석의 중앙부에서 산출되는 II형이 I형보다 먼저 포획된 것으로 추측된다. 용융체에서 용리되진 유체의 염도는 용리압력과 밀접한 관련성이 있으며, 염도의 요동(fluctuation)은 페그마타이트가 형성되는 동안 압력의 요동이 있었음을 의미한다. IV형은 가장 후기에 포획된 유체포유물이며, 광산 주변에 분포하는 석회암체 등의 변성퇴적암류로부터 $CO_{2}$ 성분과 다양한 성분의 유체가 공급되어 생성된 것으로 여겨진다. 정동이 발달하고 있지 않으며, 백운모를 함유하고 있는 대유페그마타이트는 변성작용에 의한 부분용융에 의해 형성된 멜트에서 결정화되었으며, 상당히 높은 압력의 환경에서 대유페그마타이트의 결정화작용 과정에서 용리한 유체의 성분이 전기석에 포획되어 있다. 이때 용리된 유체는 다양한 성분을 지니고 있었으며, 매우 낮은 공융온도와 다양한 딸결정은 포유물 내에 NaCl, KCl 이외에 적어도 $CaCl_{2},\;MgCl_{2}$와 같은 성분을 포함하고 있음을 지시한다. 유체의 용리는 적어도 $2.7{\sim}5.3$ kbar 이상의 압력과 $230{\sim}328^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 시작되었다.

The use of a room-temperature gamma spectrometer is an issue in environmental radiation monitoring. To monitor radionuclides released around a nuclear power plant, suitable instruments giving fast and reliable information are required. High-pressure xenon (HPXe) chambers have range of resolution and efficiency equivalent to those of other medium resolution detectors such as those using NaI(Tl), CdZnTe, and $LaBr_3:Ce$. An HPXe chamber could be a cost-effective alternative, assuming temperature stability and reliability. The CEA LIST actively studied and developed HPXe-based technology applied for environmental monitoring. Xenon purification and conditioning was performed. The design of a 4-L HPXe detector was performed to minimize the detector capacitance and the required power supply. Simulations were done with the MCNPX2.7 particle transport code to estimate the intrinsic efficiency of the HPXe detector. A behavioral study dealing with ballistic deficits and electronic noise will be utilized to provide perspective for further analysis.

The importance of the kidney in the development of hypertension was first demonstrated by Goldblatt and his colleagues more than fifty years ago. Many hormones and other regulatory factors have been proposed to play a major role in the development of hypertension. Among these factors angiotensia II (ANG II) is closely involved in renal hypertension development since it directly regulates $Na^+$ reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule. Thus the aim of the present study was to examine signaling pathways of low dose of ANC II on the $Na^+$ uptake of primary cultured rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs) in hormonally defined seum-free medium. The results were as follows: 1) $10^{-11}$ M ANG II has a significant stimulatory effect on growth as compared with control. Alkaline phosphatase exhibited significantly increased activity. However, leucine aminopeptidase and ${\gamma}-glutamyl$ transpeptidase activity were not significant as compared with control. In contrast to $10^{-11}$ M ANG II stimulated $Na^+$ uptake $(108.03{\pm}2.16% of that of control)$, $10^{-9}$ M ANG II inhibited ($92.42{\mu}2.23%$ of that of control). The stimulatory effect of ANG II on $Na^+$ uptake was amiloride-sensitive and inhibited by losartan (ANG II receptor subtype 1 antagonist) and not by PD123319 (ANG II receptor subtype 2 antagonist). 2) Pertussis toxin (PTX) alone inhibited $Na^+$ uptake by $85.52{\pm}3.52%$ of that of control. In addition, PTX pretreatment prevented the AMG II-induced stimulation of $Na^+$ uptake. 8-Bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP), forskolin, and isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) alone inhibited $Na^+$ uptake by $88.79{\pm}2.56,\;80.63{\pm}4.38,\;and\;84.47{\pm}4.74%$ of that of control, respectively, and prevented the ANG II-induced stimulation of $Na^+$ uptake. However, $10^{-11}$ M ANG II did not stimulate cAMP production. 3) The addition of 12-O-te-tradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA, 0.01 ng/ml) to the PTCs produced significant increase in $Na^+$ uptake ($114.43{\pm}4.05%$ of that of control). When ANG II and TPA were added together to the PTCs, there was no additive effect on $Na^+$ uptake. Staurosporine alone had no effect on $Na^+$ uptake, but led to a complete inhibition of ANG II- or TPA-induced stimulation of Na'uptake. ANG II treatment resulted in a $111.83{\mu}4.51%$ increase in total protein kinase C (PKC) activity. In conclusion, the PTX-sensitive PKC pathway is the main signaling cascade involved in the stimulatory effects of ANG II on $Na^+$ uptake in the PTCs.

In the present work, to clarify the mechanism of the neutral salt effect on the alkaline hydrolysis of PET, many salts with different cations like LiCl, NaCl, KCl, CsCl were added to the aqueous alkaline solutions. Then PET was hydrolyzed with aqueous solutions of many salts in alkali metal hydroxides under various conditions. Some conclusions obtained from the experimental results were summarized as follows. The reaction rate of the alkaline hydrolysis of PET was increased by the addition of neutral salts and In k was increased nearly linearly with the square root of ionic strength of reaction medium. This fact suggested that the ionic strength effect by Debye-Huckel and Bronsted theory was exerted on the reaction. The specific salt effect was also observed. The reaction rate was increased with the increase in the electrophilicity of cations of neutral salts, i. e., in the order of $Cs^+$/ < $K^+$/ $a^+$/ $i^$^+$. It was considered that the reaction rate was increased in the order of C $s^+$. < $K^+$. $a^+$. $i^+$. because the lowering effect of the cations on the negative charge of PET surface was increased with the electrophilicity of cations. It was thought that $E_{a}$ was increased because the cations of neutral salts decreased the negative charge of PET surface. It, however, was inferred from the increase in ${\Delta}$S＊ and the decrease in the ${\Delta}$G＊ that the cations of neutral salts associated with PET increased the collision frequency between carbonyl carbon and OH- ion and then accelerated the reaction rate.te.

백운 금-은광상은 트라이아스기 또는 쥐라기의 엽리상화강섬록암내에 발달된 단층대를 충진한 천열수성 석영맥광상이다. 이 광상의 광화작용은 단층-각력대에 수반되며 2시기로 구분된다. I시기는 다시 조기와 말기로 구분되며 주된 광화시기이다. II시기는 광화작용이 관찰되지 않는다. I시기 소기는 모암변질과 유비철석, 황철석, 자류철석, 섬아연석, 백철석, 황동석, 황석석 및 방연석이 관찰된다.

A standard type II polyketide synthase (PKS) gene cluster was isolated while attempting to clone the biosynthetic gene for lipstatin from Streptomyces toxytricini NRRL 15,443. This result was observed using a Southern blot of a PstI-digested S. toxytricini chromosomal DNA library with a 444 bp amplified probe of a ketosynthase (KS) gene fragment. Four open reading frames [thioesterase (TE), $\beta$-ketoacyl systhase (KAS), chain length factor (CLF), and acyl carrier protein (ACP)], were identified through the nucleotide sequence determination and analysis of a 4.5 kb cloned DNA fragment. In order to confirm the involvement of a cloned gene in lipstatin biosynthesis, a gene disruption experiment for the KS gene was performed. However, the resulting gene disruptant did not show any significant difference in lipstatin production when compared to wild-type S. toxytricini. This result suggests that lipstatin may not be synthesized by a type II PKS.

This work reported the radiation shielding characteristic of the bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glass system. The density of the specially-developed glass samples was increased from 2.21 to 4.01 g/cm³ with the addition of Bi₂O₃, despite the fact the molar volume is decease within 85.43-54.79 cm³/mol. The WinXcom program was used to approximate the effect of Bi₂O₃ on the gamma radiation shielding parameters of bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glasses. The ㎛ values decrease with the increase of Bi₂O₃ concentration. The computed data shows that the glass sample with 20 mol.% of Bi₂O₃ content has the greatest radiation attenuation performance in comparison to other selected glasses. The Bi₂O₃-TiO₂-V₂O₅-Na₂O-TeO₂ glass system shows excellent neutron shielding material with high long-term light transmittance and discharge resistance and could be potentially used as transparent radiation-resistant shielding glass applications.

This work presents the synthesis and preparation of a new glass system described by the equation of (70-x) B₂O₃-5TeO₂ -20SrCO₃-5ZnO -xBi₂O₃, x = 0, 1, 5, 10, and 15 mol. %, using the melt quenching technique at a melting temperature of 1100 ℃. The photon-shielding characteristics mainly the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) of the prepared glass samples were evaluated using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation N-particle transport code (MCNP-5) at gamma-ray energy extended from 59 keV to 1408 keV emitted by the radioisotopes Am-241, Ba-133, Cs-137, Co-60, Na-22, and Eu-152. Furthermore, we observed that the Bi₂O₃ content of the glasses had a significantly stronger impact on the LAC at 59 and 356 keV. The study of the lead equivalent thickness shows that the performance of fabricated glass sample with 15 mol.% of Bi₂O₃ is four times less than the performance of pure lead at low gamma photon energy while it is enhanced and became two times lower the perforce of pure lead at high energy. Therefore, the fabricated glasses special sample with 15 mol.% of Bi₂O₃ has good shielding properties in low, intermediate, and high energy intervals.
