The globalization of services is closely related to other economic problems facing the world today. These are: 1) the globalization of economic activities, 2) the servicization of economic activities. The world economy is now move interconnected than at any time in its history. Investment decisions, production processes, labor market regulations and even environmental legislation made by one country or company affect other economies, other companies and the lives of individuals. In fact, it is nearly impossible to think of a country that is not connected to the world economy in some form or another and it is no exaggeration to state that globalization is already an unassailable fact. The fabric of our economy and the way we do business are changing. This change is the transformation from a marketplace on goods to one focused on services. That is to say, we live and work in a service-centered, service-sensitive economy. As a result of the globalization an servicization of economic activities, services require the globalization, and services are increasing their international trade, foreign investment, agreements, alliances, mergers and collaboration networks. It is quite obvious that services are affected by globalization ; but raising the question by how much leads us to the paradox of service globalization, services represent 70% of the most advances economies but only account for less than 25% of international trade and almost half of direct investment; mergers and takeovers. These figures create a paradox that can be explained by two reasons. First; the natural(the service relationship) and artificial difficulties(barriers to trade) faced by the service sector that inhibits globalization. Second, the non-inclusion in official statistics of the share of internationalized goods that are due to services, for example intra-firm trade or the service value incorporated into exported goods. If these were taken into account the service trade figures would be extremely different. The first explanation can be subdivided into a number of elements. The OECD identifies six reasons:services cannot be stored; client-supplies interaction requires local presence; most service firms are SEMs; products are highly differentiated; cultural differences are especially important in this field; and, finally, trade barriers and restrictions on local operations exist. However, despite all of this, globalization produces clear advantages to suppliers. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the main forms of service globalization and differences between that of goods, and is to identify distinctive aspects of service globalization within the framework of the global economy.

This study conducted sedimentological and geophysical surveys for 3 years (2006-2008) in southern Gyeonggi Bay, Korea to elucidate temporal changes in subaqueous dune morphology on a sand ridge trending northeast to southwest that has been excavated by marine sand mining. The sand ridge (~20 m in height, ~2 km in width and 3~4 km in length) has a steep slope on the NW side and a gentle slope on the SE side, creating an asymmetric profile. Large (10~100 m in length) and very large (>100 m in length) dunes occurring on the SE side of the ridge show a northeastward asymmetrical shape, whereas dunes on the NW side destroyed by marine sand mining display a southwestward asymmetry. The comparison between Flemming (1988)'s correlation and the height-length correlation of this study indicates that tidal current and availability of sand sediment are major controlling factors to the development and maintenance of dunes. Depth and sedimentary characteristics (grain size) are not likely to be major controlling factors, but indirectly influence dune growth by hydrological and sedimentary processes. The length and the height of dunes decrease toward the southeastern trough away from the crest of the ridge. These features result from the decrease of tidal current and sediment availability. The length and the height of dunes on the southeast side decrease gradually over time. This is a result of the interaction between tidal current and the decrease in sediment availability due to sediment extraction by marine sand mining. Marine sand mining has destroyed the dunes directly, causing irregular shapes of shorter length and lower height. The coarse fraction of suspended sediments is transported and deposited very close to the sand pit. By contrast, relatively fine sediments are transported by the tidal current and deposited over a wide range by the settling-lag effect, resulting in a decrease of sediment grain size in the area where suspended sediments are deposited. In addition, marine sand mining, decreases the height of dunes. Therefore, morphological and sedimentological characteristics of dunes around the sand pits will be significantly changed by future sand mining activities.

경기만과 같이 지형이 복잡하고 조차가 큰 해역에서는 활발한 물질순환이 나타난다. 이러한 물질순환에 영향을 주는 장주기 흐름은 다양한 외력에 의하여 형성되며 시공간적으로 독특한 특성이 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 경기만에 위치하는 인천항부터 잠실수중보 사이에서 동기간에 관측된 조위와 유속자료를 분석하여 장주기 조류성분의 주기적인 변화 특성과 발생 기작을 파악하였다. 염하수로와 한강하구에서는 배조나 복합조와 같은 비선형분조의 증가로 인하여 조석파의 변형이 발생하고 이에 따른 평균해면 상승이 나타난다. 경기만으로부터 한강으로 전파하는 조석파는 수로폭과 수심이 크게 감소하는 염하수로로 진입하면서 급격히 변형되어 저조위와 평균해면이 상승하며, 상류로 갈수록 조석변형이 커진다. 이러한 조석변형은 조차가 큰 대조기에 증가하고 조차가 작은 소조기에 감소하며 주기적인 변동을 나타내는데, 이는 장주기 조석성분인 $M_{sf}$ 분조로 해석될 수 있다. 조석변형의 공간적 차이에 의해 발생하는 해면 경사는 대조-소조의 주기와 동일한 주기를 보이며 대조기에 증가한다. 해면 경사의 장주기 변동에 반응하여 조류의 장주기 변화가 나타난다. 이러한 장주기 조류성분은 상류에서 크게 증가하여 한강하류인 전류리 인근에서는 주요 분조인 $S_2$ 분조보다 크게 나타난다.

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an effective tool for the study of soybean gene function. Successful VIGS depends on the interaction between virus spread and plant growth, which can be influenced by environmental conditions. Recently, we developed a new VIGS system derived from the Soybean yellow common mosaic virus (SYCMV). Here, we investigated several environmental and developmental factors to improve the efficiency of a SYCMV-based VIGS system to optimize the functional analysis of the soybean. Following SYCMV: Glycine max-phytoene desaturase (GmPDS) infiltration, we investigated the effect of photoperiod, inoculation time, concentration of Agrobacterium inoculm, and growth temperature on VIGS efficiency. In addition, the relative expression of GmPDS between non-silenced and silenced plants was measured by qRT-PCR. We found that gene silencing efficiency was highest at a photoperiod of 16/8 h (light/dark) at a growth temperature of approximately $27^{\circ}C$ following syringe infiltration to unrolled unifoliolate leaves in cotyledon stage with a final SYCMV:GmPDS optimal density $(OD)_{600}$ of 2.0. Using this optimized protocol, we achieved high efficiency of GmPDS-silencing in various soybean germplasms including cultivated and wild soybeans. We also confirmed that VIGS occurred in the entire plant, including the root, stem, leaves, and flowers, and could transmit GmPDS to other soybean germplasms via mechanical inoculation. This optimized protocol using a SYCMV-based VIGS system in the soybean should provide a fast and effective method to elucidate gene functions and for use in large-scale screening experiments.

금속제련공학 및 환경과학 분야에 있어서 물질전체를 구성하고 있는 화학적 조성이 중요한 요소이나, 입자 표면의 화학조성과 미분화된 입자들의 표면 반응성을 제어함과 동시에, 입자 계면에서 일어나는 중금속과 유기물질등의 반응은 제련공정과 환경오염에 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러므로, 수용액상에 존재하는 여러 종류의 화학 물질과 광물입자 표면 사이에서 일어나는 계면반응 과정의 이해는 상당히 중요한 것이다. 일반적으로 입자 표면 분석에는 ex-situ 법을 사용하는 X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) 분석 방법이 많이 적용되고 있으나, 이는 분석대상시료의 크기가 보통 100 마이크론에서 1 cm 정도의 범위 안에 혼재-혼합되어있는 고체 입자들을 분석하기 때문에 채취 분석된 X-ray의 원래 발산한 입자표면을 분석할 수는 없다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 Time-of-Flight Secondary-Ion Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS)를 응용하여 황화광물의 부유선광 공정 중 생성된 미세한 유화광물입자$(30\~75\;microns)$ 표면에 형성된 무기, 유기물의 반응 관찰을 통해 이들의 정성분석 및 상대적 정량분석법을 연구하고자 하였다.

The major objective of this study was to quantify the effects of substrate depth and substrate composition on the development of sedum etc., in a sloped rooftop (6 : 12 pitch) environment during a 4-year period. The experiment was conducted from 2006 October to 2010 December under several conditions without soil erosion control : two substrate depth (5cm, 10cm), four substrate composition (A5N3C2, A3N3C4, A6C4, G5L3C2: A: artificial lightweight soil, N : natural soil, G : granite decomposed soil, C : leave composite, L : loess), four sloped roof direction ($E40^{\circ}W$, $W40^{\circ}N$, $S40^{\circ}W$, $N40^{\circ}E$). In this experiment 4 sedum etc., were used: Sedum sarmentosum, Sedum kamtschaticum, Sedum rupestre, Sedum telephium, flowering herbs (mixed seed : Taraxacum platycarpum, Lotus corniculatus, Aster yomena, Aster koraiensis), western grasses (mixed seed : Tall fescue, Creeping redfescue, Bermuda grass, Perennial ryegrass). The establishment factor had two levels : succulent shoot establishment (sedum), seeding (flowering herbs, western grasses). 1. Enkamat, as it bring about top soil exfoliation, was unsuitable material for soil erosion control. 2. Sedum species exhibited greater growth at a substrate depth of 10cm relative to 5cm. All flowering herbs and western grasses established only at a substrate depth of 5cm were died. A substrate depth of 5cm was not suited in sloped rooftop greening without maintenance. If additional soil erosion control will be supplemented, a substrate depth of 10cm in sloped rooftop greening without maintenance was considered suitable. 3. For all substrate depth and composition, the most abundant species was Sedum kamtschaticum. The percentage of surviving Sedum kamtschaticum was 73.4% at a substrate depth of 10cm in autumn 2007 one year after the roof vegetation had been established. But the percentage of surviving other sedum were 33.3%~51.9%, therefor mulching for soil erosion control was essential after rooftop establishment in extensive sloped roof greening was proved. To raise the ratio of plant survival, complete establishment of plant root at substrate was considered essential before rooftop establishment. 4. There was a significant interaction between biomass and substrate moisture content. There were also a significant difference of substrate moisture and erosion among substrate composition. The moisture content of A6C4 was highest, the resistance to erosion of A5N3C2 was highest among substrate composition. The biomass of plants were not significantly higher in A5N3C2 and A6C4 relative to A3N3C4 and G5L3C2, For substrate moisture and erosion resistance, A5N3C2 and A6C4 were considered suitable in sloped rooftop greening without maintenance. 5. There were significant difference among roof slope direction on the substrate moisture. Especially, the substrate moisture content of $S40^{\circ}W$ was lower relative to that of $N40^{\circ}E$, that guessed by solar radiation and erosion.

고층빌딩이나 해양 라이저와 같은 세장 구조물은 구조시스템의 동적 불안정의 주요 원인인 와류유기진동(vortex-induced vibration, VIV)에 의한 동하중에 매우 취약하다. 와류유기진동이 라이저의 고유진동수 영역에서 발생하는 경우 Lock-in현상으로 피로파괴의 우려가 있다. 본 논문에서는 Lock-in 영역에서 구조물과 유동의 동적거동에 대한 수치해석을 다루었으며, 유동조건 변화에도 불구하고 공진 주파수가 유지되는 현상에 대해 분석하였으며, 유입유동에 대해 수직방향으로 자유진동하는 1자유도의 2차원 원형실린더 단면에 대한 비정상 층류를 가정하였다. 각 시간 단계에서 물체의 움직임을 고려하여 유동장 격자를 재생성하며 비정상 유동과 물체의 운동에 대한 지배방정식을 순차적으로 수치해석하여 유체-구조 연성해석을 수행하였다. 결과는 선행연구와 잘 일치함을 보여주었고, Lock-in 현상에 대한 특성을 잘 나타내었다. Lock-in 영역에서는 양력뿐만 아니라 항력도 크게 증가함을 보여주었으며, 실린더의 수직변위는 직경의 20%까지 이름을 나타내었다. 양력과 수직변위의 상관분석을 통해 실린더가 Lock-in 영역에서 양력과 수직변위의 위상차가 동기로부터 반동기로 천이함을 확인하였으며, 이러한 변화가 Lock-in 영역에서 나타나는 공진거동의 원인이 되는 것으로 판된되었다.

Piperlongumine, a natural alkaloid isolated from the long pepper, selectively increases reactive oxygen species production and apoptotic cell death in cancer cells but not in normal cells. However, the molecular mechanism underlying piperlongumine-induced selective killing of cancer cells remains unclear. In the present study, we observed that human breast cancer MCF-7 cells are sensitive to piperlongumine-induced apoptosis relative to human MCF-10A breast epithelial cells. Interestingly, this opposing effect of piperlongumine appears to be mediated by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Piperlongumine upregulated HO-1 expression through the activation of nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) signaling in both MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells. However, knockdown of HO-1 expression and pharmacological inhibition of its activity abolished the ability of piperlongumine to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, whereas those promoted apoptosis in MCF-10A cells, indicating that HO-1 has anti-tumor functions in cancer cells but cytoprotective functions in normal cells. Moreover, it was found that piperlongumine-induced Nrf2 activation, HO-1 expression and cancer cell apoptosis are not dependent on the generation of reactive oxygen species. Instead, piperlongumine, which bears electrophilic ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated carbonyl groups, appears to inactivate Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1) through thiol modification, thereby activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and subsequently upregulating HO-1 expression, which accounts for piperlongumine-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that direct interaction of piperlongumine with Keap1 leads to the upregulation of Nrf2-mediated HO-1 expression, and HO-1 determines the differential response of breast normal cells and cancer cells to piperlongumine.
