광섬유 인선공정에 의해 생성된 실리카 유리내 점결함을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 특히 OH기가 적은 실리카 광섬유내 광섬유 인선 공정이 유발하는 oxygen deficient center와 E' center를 중점적으로 조사하였다. 광섬유 인선공정에 의해 oxygen deficient center 와 E’ center가 생성되었다는 것을 광학적 흡수대와 electron spin resonance를 이용하여 밝힐 수 있었다. 실리카 광섬유모재에서 가느다란 광섬유로 변환하는 neck-down 부분에서 점결함의 변화를 조사하였다. 점결함은 neck-down 부분에서 생성되며, 중심부분 보다 가장자리 부분에서 더 많은 점결함이 생성되었음을 알 수 있었다.

As an effort to prevent serious accidents involving oxygen deficiency and suffocation in confined spaces and to identify the causes of such accidents, the present study investigated relevant accidents and systems in Korea and other countries. This study also conducted a number of experiments at lethal concentration levels of oxygen deficiency using SD rats and observed the changes of experimental animals with humidity, organic gas (toluene), hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and so on at the oxygen deficient environment. The results of the study are as follows. 1. The results from the experiment conducted using SD rats at lethal concentration levels of oxygen showed that there were no casualties at the 7% oxygen concentration level, but the mortality increase to 20% at 6% oxygen, it was jumped to 90% at 5% oxygen, and it was also dramatically reached 100% at 4% oxygen concentration. Therefore, 5.5% was calculated as the $LC_{50}$ (rat, 4hr) from these dose-response experiments with oxygen deficiency. 2. When we changed the level of toluene, $H_2S$, CO, humidity, and so on, in an oxygen deficient environment, it was observed that the small concentrations of $H_2S$ and CO make the highest effect on animals. In case of 350 ppm $H_2S$, it resulted in 30% mortality, and the 100% mortality was shown in 1,200 ppm CO concentration. The mortality increased as an oxygen deficient condition. However in the case of toluene up to 1,000 ppm, it were not affected with oxygen deficiency, and it did not indicate any significant differences in mortality as 20%, 90% humidities.

하계 가막만에서 발생하는 빈산소 수괴의 형성과정과 그 특성을 규명하기 위하여 2005년 6월 17일부터 2005년 9월 12일까지 주 간격으로 조사하였다. 표층 수온은 내만에서 만 입구로 갈수록 낮았으나, 저층 수온은 만 입구와 내만보다 만 중앙에서 높게 나타났다. 수괴의 수직적인 성층은 매우 발달하였으며, 수온약층은 수심 3-5m에서 관측되었다. 저층의 빈산소 수괴는 7월초에 내만 안쪽에서 나타났으며, 8월초에는 만 중앙부까지 확산되었다. 수괴의 평균투명도와 광소멸 계수($K_d$)는 각각 4.0m와 0.47로 나타났다. 저층의 영양염과 클로로필 ${\alpha}$ 농도는 표층보다 유의하게 높았으며, 만 입구보다 내만에서 높게 나타났다. 빈산소 수괴의 저층에서 퇴적물의 산소투과 깊이는 지극히 낮았으며, 산소소모율은 빈산소가 소멸된 수괴에서 보다 낮았다. 빈산소 수괴가 발생하는 기간동안 용존 산소 농도는 저층의 영양염 농도와 유의한 역 상관관계를 보였으나, 표층 영양염 농도와는 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 저층에서 산소 감소의 촉진은 퇴적물에서 산소소모율 증가와 저층 부근에서 미생물에 의한 유기물 분해 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.

Thermal behaviors of $(Cu_{0.5}Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$, prepared by a solid method, were investigated for $H_2$ production by a thermochemical cycle. The thermal reduction of $(Cu_{0.5}Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ started from $300^\circ{C}$ and the weight loss was 1.3 wt% up to 1200. XRD shows the prepared ferrite has the spinel structure with a lattice constant of $8.414{\AA}$ and changed to the oxygen deficient structure by thermal reduction. Oxygen and hydrogen can be separately produced by the cycles of thermal reduction and water oxidation of the oxygen deficient ferrite.

The electrical, optical and structural properties of ZnNiO thin _ films deposited on Si substrates using rf-magnetron sputtering method have been investigated before and after the thermal annealing processes. The crystallinity of the ZnNiO thin film become degraded with increasing the Ni contents. This is mainly because the lattice of the thin film was expanded due to the oxygen-deficient conditions. Concerning the electrical properties of the thin film, the carrier concentration increases ($6.81\times10^{14}\textrm{cm}^{-2}$) and Hall mobility decreases (36.3 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vㆍs) with higher doping concentration of Ni. However, the carrier concentration and Hall mobility became low ($1.10\times10^{14}\textrm{cm}^2$ and high (209.6 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vㆍs), respectively, after the thermal annealing process at $1000 ^{\circ}C$. We also observed a strong luminescene center peaking at 546 nm in photoluminescence spectra, which was caused by a deep level center in the ZnO band gap with oxygen deficient ZnNiO structure.

The tumor suppressor gene p53 regulates apoptotic cell death and the cell cycle. In this study, we investigated the role of p53 in nitric oxide (NO)-induced apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We found that the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) increased apoptotic cell death in p53-deficient VSMCs compared with wild-type cells. The heme oxygen-ase (HO) inhibitor tin protoporphyrin IX reduced the resistance of wild-type VSMCs to SNAP-induced cell death. SNAP promoted HO-1 expression in both cell types. HO-2 protein was increased only in wild-type VSMCs following SNAP treatment; however, similar levels of HO-2 mRNA were detected in both cell types. SNAP significantly increased the levels of non-heme-iron and dinitrosyl iron-sulfur clusters in wild-type VSMCs compared with p53-deficient VSMCs. Moreover, pretreatment with FeSO4 and the carbon monoxide donor CORM-2, but not biliverdin, significantly protected p53-deficient cells from SNAP-induced cell death compared with normal cells. These results suggest that wild-type VSMCs are more resistant to NO-mediated apoptosis than p53-deficient VSMCs through p53-dependent up-regulation of HO-2.

As a basic study for establishing a countermeasure for an oxygen deficient water mass (ODW), we investigated the variation of ODW volume according to the enforced total pollution load management in Jinhae Bay. This study estimated the inflowing pollutant loads into Jinhae Bay and predicted the reduction in ODW by using a sediment-water ecological model (SWEM). The result obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1) The daily average pollutant loads of COD, SS, TN, TP, DIN, and DIP inflowing into Jinhae bay in 2005 were estimated to be about 12,218 kg-COD/day, 91,884 kg-SS/day, 5,292 kg-TN/day, 182 kg-TP/day, 4,236 kg-DIN/day, and 130 kg-DIP/day. 2) The calculated results of the tidal current by the hydrodynamic model showed good agreement with the observed currents. Also, an ecological model well reproduced the spatial distribution of the water quality in the bay. 3) This study defined the ODWDI (ODW decreasing index) in order to estimate the ODW decreasing volume caused by a reduction in the inflowing pollutant loads. As a result, the ODWDI was predicted to be about 0.91 (COD 30% reduction), 0.87 (COD 50% reduction), 0.79 (COD 70% reduction), 0.85 (ALL 30% reduction), 0.66 (ALL 50% reduction), and 0.45 (ALL 70% reduction). The ODW volume was decreased 1.5 $\sim$ 2.6 times with a reduction in the COD, TN, and TP inflowing pollutant loads compared to a reduction in just the COD inflowing pollutant load. Therefore, it is necessary to enforce total pollution load management, not only for COD, but also fm TN and TP.

The paper gives a brief introduction to protonic defects and their chemistry, thermodynamics and transport in oxides. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium concentration of protons is illustrated and compared for different acceptor-doped oxides. The difficulties of saturating as well as emptying the oxides of protons are discussed. In order to illustrate the possibility of lattice relaxation of defects, a conceptual study is made of a case where the enthalpy of dissolution of protons(water) at the cost of oxygen vacancies is assumed dependent on the concentration of vacancies. It is shown how this changes the behavior of hydration curves vs temperature and water vapour pressure. finally, a discussion is given on the water uptake in heavily oxygen deficient oxides; how water uptake may affect order-disorder in the oxygen sublattice and eventually lead to defective, disordered or ordered oxyhydroxides or hydroxides of potential interest as intermediate temperature proton conductions.

The thermal behavior of $NiFe_2O_4$ prepared by a solid-state reaction was investigated for $H_2$ generation by the thermochemical cycle. The reduction of $NiFe_2O_4$ started from $800^{\circ}C$, and the weight loss was 0.2-0.3 wt% up to $1000^{\circ}C$. In the $H_2O$ decomposition reaction, $H_2$ was generated by oxidation of reduced $NiFe_2O_4$. The crystal structure of $NiFe_2O_4$ maintained during the redox reaction of 5 cycles. From this observation, the lattice oxygen in $NiFe_2O_4$ is released without the structural change during the thermal reduction and oxygen deficient $NiFe_2O_4$ can be restored to the spinel structure of $NiFe_2O_4$.

최근 3년간 검토된 환경관리해역에서 이루어진 해역이용협의 건수는 총 60건으로 조사되었다. 환경보전해역에서는 지속적으로 감소하였고, 특별관리해역에서는 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 환경관리해역의 개별사업유형을 분석한 결과 인공구조물 설치사업이 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였고, 그 외 항만 어항개발, 연안정비 및 해수 인 배수사업유형이 많이 이루어졌다. 환경관리해역에서 국가해양환경정보통합시스템(MEIS) 자료를 활용하여 2006~2017년까지 경년별 수질변화경향을 비교한 결과, COD는 뚜렷한 증감의 변화는 보이지 않았으나 환경보전지역은 다소 증가하였으며, TN과 TP의 농도는 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특별관리해역인 광양만과 마산만 및 환경보전해역인 가막만에서는 주로 하계에 빈산소수괴가 출현하였다. 이러한 환경관리해역에서의 이용 개발행위가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으므로, 이에 따른 해양환경부문 환경영향평가(해역이용협의)시에는 충분한 수질변화에 대한 실태분석 및 사업추진에 따른 수질영향과 퇴적물의 오염상태를 철저히 진단해서 오염원관리에 대한 대책이 중점적으로 평가되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 특히, 각 환경관리해역의 지정 목적에 따른 유지 수질목표를 명확히 설정하여, 오염원 및 연안오염총량관리와 연계하여 오염 부하량 저감대책을 제시하여야 할 것이다.
