Geldanamycin and its analogs are important anticancer agents that inhibit the newly targeted heat-shock protein (Hsp) 90, which is a chaperone protein in eukaryotic cells. To resolve which geldanamycin biosynthetic genes are responsible for particular post-polyketide synthase (PKS) processing steps and in which order the reactions occur, we individually inactivated candidate genes in Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. duamyceticus JCM4427 and isolated and elucidated the structures of intermediates from each mutant. The results indicated that gel7 governs at least one of the benzoquinone ring oxidation steps. The gel16 was found to be involved in double-bond formation between C-4 and C-5 of 4,5-dihydrogeldanamycin, which confirmed our previous findings that this double bond is reduced during the post-PKS modification of the polyketide assembly. In addition, pro-geldanamycin, which does not possess a double bond at C-4/5, was purified from the gel7 and gel8 double-gene-inactivated mutant.

세정단계를 거치는 혐기성 소화시스템(ADEPT, Anaeorbic Digestion Elutriated Phase Treatment)에서 돈사폐수를 처리한 유출수를 혐기성 암모늄 산화공정(ANAMMOX)에 적용하기 위하여 부분질산화 반응조의 기질로 사용하였다. 중온($35^{\circ}C$)에서 아질산성 질소를 축적하는 조절인자는 용존산소보다는 오히려 HRT, pH, 유리 암모니아(FA)였다. 중탄산의 스트립핑과 완충에 사용된 양을 포함한 중탄산알칼리도의 소모량은 전환된 $NH_4-N$ g당 8.78 g이었다. HRT 1일, DO 농도가 $2.7{\sim}4.4mg/L$의 안정상태에서 부분질산화 반응 유출수의 $NO_2-N/NH_4-N$ 비는 약 $1{\sim}$으로서, 부분질산화-혐기성 암모늄산화 결합공정의 ANAMMOX 반응조의 유입수로서 적합하였다.

연속 회분식 반응기에서 측정되는 기초 상용계측기의 프로파일은 공정 내에서 행해지는 제거반응의 진행 정도에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 특히 ORP(산화환원전위, Oxidation-Reduntion Potential, ORP) 프로파일에서 관찰되는 탈질 완료를 알리는 굴곡점(nitrate knee point, NKP)을 이용한 탈질 반응의 완료 감지는 널리 알려진 응용사례라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 ORP 굴국점의 재현성이 부족하고, ORP 신호 자체가 가지는 잡음 등의 문제로 탈질 반응의 완료를 감지한 공정 제어의 현장 적용은 미비한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 ORP 프로파일의 패턴을 인지하여 탈질의 종료 여부를 진단할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 동적 시간 와핑 방법을 사용하여 패턴인지를 수행한 결과, ORP 굴곡점의 출현 여부와 상관없이 공정의 탈질 완료 여부를 감지할 수 있었다.

Bromate is a disinfection by-product generated mainly from the oxidation of bromide during the ozonation and disinfection process in order to remove pathogenic microorganism of drinking water, and classified as a possible human carcinogen by International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) and World Health Organization (WHO). For the purpose of determining the trace level concentration of bromate, several sensitive techniques are applied mostly based on suppressed conductivity detection and UV/Visible detection after postcolumn reaction (PCR). In this study, the suppressed conductivity detection method and the PCR-UV/Visible detection method through the triiodide reaction were compared to analyze the trace bromate in water samples and estimated for the availability of these analytical methods. In addtion, the state-of-the-art techniques was applied for the determination of trace level bromate in various water matrices, i.e., soft drinking water, hard drinking water, mineral water, swimming pool water, and raw water. In comparison of two analytical methods, it was found that the conductivity detection had the suitable advantage to simultaneously analyze bromate and inorganic anions, however, the bromate might not be precisely quantified due to the matrix effect especially by chloride ion. On the other hand, the trace bromate was analyzed effectively by the method of PCR-UV/Visible detection through triiodide reaction to satisfactorily minimize the matrix interference of chloride ion in various water samples, showing the good linearity and reproducibility. Furthermore, the method detection limit (MDL) and recovery were 0.161 ㎍/L and 101.0-108.1 %, respectively, with a better availability compared to conductivity detection.

Dispersions of non-soluble ceramic particles in a metallic matrix can enhance the strength and heat resistance of materials. With the advent of mechanical alloying it became possible to put the theoretical concept into practice by incorporating very fine particles in a flirty uniform distribution into often oxidation- and corrosion- resistant metal matrices. e.g. superalloys. The present paper will give an overview about the mechanical alloying technique as a dry, high energy ball milling process for producing composite metal powders with a fine controlled microstructure. The common way is milling of a mixture of metallic and nonmetallic powders (e.g. oxides. carbides, nitrides, borides) in a high energy ball mill. The heavy mechanical deformation during milling causes also fracture of the ceramic particles to be distributed homogeneously by further milling. The mechanisms of the process are described. To obtain a homogeneous distribution of nano-sized dispersoids in a more ductile matrix (e.g. aluminium-or copper based alloys) a reaction milling is suitable. Dispersoid can be formed in a solid state reaction by introducing materials that react with the matrix either during milling or during a subsequent heat treatment. The pre-conditions for obtaining high quality materials, which require a homogeneous distribution of small dis-persoids, are: milling behaviour of the ductile phase (Al, Cu) will be improved by the additives (e.g. graphite), homogeneous introduction of the additives into the granules is possible and the additive reacts with the matrix or an alloying element to form hard particles that are inert with respect to the matrix also at elevated temperatures. The mechanism of the in-situ formation of dispersoids is described using copper-based alloys as an example. A comparison between the in-situ formation of dispersoids (TiC) in the copper matrix and the milling of Cu-TiC mixtures is given with respect to the microstructure and properties, obtained.

The surfaces of $TiO_2$ and ZnO nanoparticles have been modified by gold (Au) nanoparticles by a reduction method in solution. Their interfacial electronic structures and optical absorptions have been studied by depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Upon Au-modification, UV-vis absorption spectra reveal a broad surface plasmon peak at around 500 nm. For the as-prepared Au-modified $TiO_2$ and ZnO, the Au $4f_{7/2}$ XPS peaks exhibit at 83.7 and 83.9 eV, respectively. These are due to a charge transfer effect from the metal oxide support to the Au. For $TiO_2$, the larger binding energy shift from that (84.0 eV) of bulk Au could indicate that Au-modification site of $TiO_2$ is different from that of ZnO. On the basis of the XPS data with sputtering depth, we conclude that cationic (1+ and 3+) Au species, plausibly $Au(OH)_x$ (x = 1-3), commonly form mainly at the Au-$TiO_2$ and Au-ZnO interfaces. With $Ar^+$ ion sputtering, the oxidation state of Ti dramatically changes from 4+ to 3+ and 2+ while that (2+) of Zn shows no discernible change based on the binding energy position and the full-width at half maximum (FWHM).

The blue phosphor, $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}$:$Eu^{2+}$, showing a blue emission band at about 450 nm were prepared by solid state reaction of BaC $O_3$, A $l_2$ $O_3$, MgO and E $u_2$ $O_3$ with Al $F_3$ as a flux. The thermal quenching of BaMgAl $O_{17}$:E $u^{2+}$ phosphor significantly reduces the intensity of the blue emission. It is reduced by an amount of 50% after heating at around 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. The red emission in the 580∼720 nm region of $^{5}$ $D_{0}$\longrightarro $w^{7}$ $F_1$ and $^{5}$ $D_{0}$\longrightarro $w^{7}$ $F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$ is produced from the phosphor heated above 1,100$^{\circ}C$. The EPR spectrum also reveals that some part of E $u^{2+}$ ions are oxidized to trivalent ions above 1,100$^{\circ}C$ at around 90 and 140mT. This oxidation evidence is also detected from XANES absorption spectra for $L_{III}$ shell of Eu ions: an absorption peak is at 6,977eV of E $u^{2+}$ and 6,984eV of $Eu^{3+}$. The combined X-ray and neutron data suggests that the new phase of EuMgA $l_{11}$ $O_{19}$ magnetoplumbite structure may be formed by heat treatment.eat treatment.tment.eat treatment.tment.t.

YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$, Y2BaCuO5, and binary compounds in the Ba-Cu-O system with the nominal composition of Ba2CuO3, BaCuO2, Ba3Cu4O7, Ba3Cu5O8 were synthesized to investigate the heat evolutions and crystalline phases in the hydration reaction of orthorhombic YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ phase. The observed crystalline phases were YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$, Y2BaCuO5, and BaCuO2, or Ba2Cu3O5＋x, and some amount of noncrystalline phase in the Ba-Cu system comounds. In contact with distilled water, YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ and Y2BaCuO5 did not have considerable heat liberation, but in the binary compounds of the Ba-Cu-O system, the amount of total heat liberation was increased with respect to the Cu content. It might be that the reaction of high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ with water and/or moisture originated from the unusual oxidation state of Cu ion and the presence of amorphous Ba-Cu oxide compound. The degradation of high Tc superconductor by moisture and water could be controlled by restricting the heterogeneous distribution of Tc comlposition and the formation of second phase, such as stable Y2BaCuO5, and the resulting unstable Ba-Cu oxide compound.

It is a gel type high functional toothpaste containing vitamin C, E, propolis extract and the rest of herb with a nanoemulsion state. Vitamin C, E is known as the material with an eminent anti-oxidation effect. Propolis is known as the material with an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect. We have been succeeding in making nanoemulsion of vitamin C, E and propolis through the high pressure homogenizer using stable oil and lecithin and the gel type high functional tooth paste were made from nanoemulsion of vitamin C, E and propolis. We observed the process of wound protecting effect and cure effect for a wound of soft tissue, gingival tissue and mucous membrane showing ulcer and inflammation in oral cavity after applying a gel type high functional toothpaste to patient. As a result, the wound were healed very fast and any side effects were not shown. We confirmed that a gel type high functional toothpaste with nanoemulsion of vitamin C, E and propolis extract has good effect not only for wound healing but also for treatment of ulcer-like lesion in oral cavity. So we report our cases with review of literatures.
