본 연구는 2002년 1월부터 2003년 5월까지 오염원이 비교적 단순한 산지하천에서의 무기 영양염 및 유기물 변동을 고찰하기 위해 낙동강 지류인 대천천의 상류에서 실시되었다. 조사지점은 인위적인 오염이 없는 DC1, 주위의 식당과 민가에서 생활하수가 유입되는 DC2, DC3, DC4그리고 부분적으로 수질이 자연 정화된 DC5이다. 전기전도도, 탁도, BOD는 하수의 유입으로 인하여 DC2에서 급격히 증가하였다가 DC5에서 다시 낮아졌다. 수층의 $NH_4^+$및 $PO_4^{3-}$농도는 갈수기인 겨울에 증가하는 경향이 보였으며, DC2에서 DC1에 비해 각각 150 배 및 37배가 증가하였다가 하류로 내려 갈수록 뚜렷하게 감소하였으며, $NO_3^-+NO_2^-$은 오염지역인 DC2, DC3, DC4와 DC5에서 청정지역인 DC1보다 약 2배 증가하였다. N/P비율은 DC1에서 가장 높았고, 하수 유입지역에서 감소하여 이들 지역에는 부영양화가 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 퇴적물 공극수의 $PO_4^{3-}$농도는 겨울과 봄에 증가하였으나, $NH_4^+$와 $NO_3^-+NO_2^-$의 농도는 계절 경향이 보이지 않았다. 퇴적물 공극수의 $NO_4^-,\;PO_4^{3-}$ 농도와 퇴적물의 유기물 함유량도 하수가 유입되는 DC2, DC3, DC4에서 유의하게 증가하였고, DC5에서 다소 감소하였다. 퇴적물 공극수의 $NO_3^-+NO_2^-$의 농도는 DC2에서보다 용존산소가 풍부한 DC5에서 오히려 증가하였다. 수층의 TOC와 DOC농도는 봄과 가을에 증가하였고, 하수가 유입되는 지역에서 높게 측정되었다. 조사지역이 산지하천의 상류에 위치하고 있으나 식당 및 민가에서 유입되는 생활하수는 하천의 상류를 부영양화 시켰으며, 하류로 내려오면서 유기물 및 무기 영양염의 농도가 감소하여 하천수가 자연적으로 정화되는 것이 관찰되었다.

Low hemolysis is one of the key factors in the production of successful rotary blood pumps. It is, however, difficult to identify the areas where hemolysis occurs. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis enables the engineer to predict hemolysis on a computer Fluid dynamics in five different axial flow pumps was analyzed 3-dimensionally using CFD software. The impeller was rotated at a speed which supplied a flow of 5L/min at a pressure difference of 100mmHg. Changes in the turbulent kinetic energy along streamlines through the pumps were computed. Reynolds' shear stress( (equation omitted) ) was calculated using the turbulent kinetic energy. Hemolysis was evaluated based on Reynolds'shear stress and its exposure time(t) : dHb/Hb=3.62$\times$10$^{-5}$ $t^{0.785}$$\tau$$^{2.416}$ . Hemolysis of the pumps was measured in vitro using fresh bovine blood to which citrate phosphate dextrose was added to prevent clotting. A pump flow of 5L/min was maintained at a pressure difference of 100mmHg for 3h. The normalized index of hemolysis(NIH) as measured. Reynolds' shear stress was high behind the impellers. The measured NIH and the calculated hemolysis(dHb/Hb) shoed a good correlation; NIH=0.0003(dHb/Hb) (r=0.90, n=6) in the range of NIH between 0.003 and 1.1. CFD analysis can predict the in vitro results of hemolysis as well as the areas where hemolysis occurs.ysis occurs.

Three possible binding modes of cationic meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (TMPyP) to d[(GCATATATGC)2] duplex were investigated by the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Among the three binding modes namely, “along the groove”, “across the groove” and “face on the groove”, the “across the groove” model exhibited the largest negative binding free energy and the DNA backbone remained as the B form. In this model, the molecular plain of the TMPyP tilts 45o with respect to the DNA helix axis and is largely exposed to the solvent. TMPyP was stabilized mainly by the interaction between the positively charged neighboring pyridinium moieties of TMPyP and negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA. The result obtained in this work by MD and the report (Jin, B. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 2417.) that the spectral properties of poly[d(A-T)2] bound TMPyP in the presence and absence of the minor groove binding drug 4',6- diamidino-2-phenylindole are similar, we propose that TMPyP bind across the minor groove of the AT rich- DNA.

The community dynamics and distribution of dinoflagellates and their cysts were monitored monthly from June 1996 to May 1997 at six stations in Masan-Chinhae Bay, one of the famous bays for red-tide occurrence in Korea. The dinoflagellate standing crops ranged from the minimum of 306 cells $ml^{-1}$ in February to the maximum of 37,959 cells $ml^{-1}$ in May. The species causing massive blooms were Prorocentrum micans Ehrenberg and Ceratium furca (Ehrenberg) Claparede & Lachmann in July, Gymnodinium sanguineum Hirasaka in October, Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech in April and Proroeentrum minimum (Pavillard) Schiller in May. Twenty-seven taxa of dinoflagellate cysts were isolated, including 20 identified species and 7 unidentified species. The mean cyst abundance ranged from the minimum of 556 cysts $cm^{-3}$ in June to the maximum of 5,727 cysts$cm^{-3}$ in February. The spatial pattern of cyst distribution showed the gradual increase in abundance from offshore to inshore stations. The cyst genera of Protoperidinium, Gymnodinium, Serippsiella, Gyrodinium and Alexandrium were abundant throughout the year. The vertical distribution of cysts showed the surface miximum at the 0-2cm layer and the sub-surface maximum at the 2-4cm layer. Total abundance of cysts showed the most significant relationships with water temperature, and some minor relationship with dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, phosphate and total inorganic nitrogen of surface and bottom layer in the water column. The number of dinoflagellate species decreased, while the abundance of cysts increased 4.5 times as compared with the observation of 10 years prior to the present study at the same stations of Masan-Chinhae Bay.

팔당호 지류인 경안천의 입자태 및 무기 영양염의 동태와 이들이 식물플랑크톤의 군집구조의 천이에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 1993년 8월 18일부터 11월 13일까지 주 1회의 조사를 14주 동안에 걸쳐서 수행하였다. 질산성 질산염은 조사기간 중 항상 풍부하였고 인산염과 규산염은 갈수기에 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Chlorophyll a의 값은 1993년 8월 21일 $90.6\;{\mu}g/l$로 최대 값이 관찰되었으며 10월 중순 이후부터는 $15{\sim}16\;{\mu}g/l$을 유지하였다. 입자태 유기탄소와 입자태　유기질소는 매우 풍부한데 비해, 입자태 유기인의 농도는 최저$0.3\;{\mu}g\; atm/l$의 낮은 능도 분포를 보였으며, 입자태 유기탄소 및 유기질소의 변화양상은 chlorophyll a의 변차양상과 잘 일치하였으며, 이것은 입자태 유기탄소 및 질소는 식물플랑크톤의 성장에 의한 내생적 공급에 의함을 의미한다. 이와는 반대로 경안천의 인의 공급은 외부로부터 공급되고 있으며, 항상 인산염이 식물플랑크톤의 제한인자로 작용하지만, 때때로 낮은 Si/P ratio을 나타내어 규산염의 고갈 현상이 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 때로는 식물플랑크톤의 성장에 인산염 보다는 규산염이 제한 인자로 작용한다는 것을 암시한다. 인산염이 제한 인자로 작용하는 시기에는 규조류가 우점하고 있었으며, 규산염이 제한인자로 작용하는 시기 (9월 $11{\sim}18$일, 10월 $2{\sim}16$일)에는　남조류와 녹조류가 우점 하였다. 특히,　남조류 중에서 Anabaena, Microcystis및 Oscillatoria가 우점종으로 출현하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the dynamics of nutrients such as total nitrogen (TN), nitrate nitrogen ($NO_3$-N) total phosphorous (TP), and phosphate phosphorous ($PO_4$-P) in outflow from a cabbage farmland in a mixed land-use watershed. The TN concentrations in groundwater showed twice peaks in late July 2006 and late March 2007 (3.8, 4.7 mg/L, respectively), when it rained shortly after fertilizer application, indicating that nitrogen leaching is greatly influenced by fertilization and rainfall. The mean concentrations of TN and $NO_3$-N in surface water were not significantly higher than those in groundwater, while the mean concentrations of TP and $PO_4$-P in surface water were significantly (p < 0.05) were higher than those in groundwater. The TN concentrations in groundwater were generally higher than those in surface water during fertilization and early growing season due to the effect of fertilization, but vice versa in the other periods. In contrast, the TP concentrations in groundwater were always lower than those in surface water due to the sorption of particulate phosphorous by soil. The ratio of TN load in baseflow to that in total TN load (39 %) was much greater than the TP ratio (7 %), suggesting that baseflow contribute to nitrogen export. Therefore, proper fertilization management should be taken to reduce nitrogen load through baseflow.

Daily changes in phytoplankton abundance and species composition were monitored from July to September 2003 (n=47) to understand which factors control the abundance at a station in Jangmok Bay. During the study, the phytoplankton community was mainly composed of small cell diatoms and dinoflagellates, and the dominant genera were Chaetoceros, Nitzschia, Skeletonema and Thalassionema. Phytoplankton abundance varied significantly from $6.40{\times}10^4$ to $1.22{\times}10^7$ cells/l. The initially high level of phytoplankton abundance was dominated by diatoms, but replacement by dinoflagellates started when the NIP ratio decreased to <5.0. On the basis of the N/P and Si/N ratios, the sampling periofd could be divided into two: an inorganic silicate limitation period (ISLP, $14^{th}$ $July-12^{th}$ of August) and an inorganic nitrogen limitation period (INLP, $13^{th}$ of August - the end of the study). Phosphate might not limit the growth of phytoplankton assemblages in the bay during the study period. This study suggests that phytoplankton abundance and species composition might be affected by the concentrations of inorganic nutrients (N and Si), and provides baseline information for further studies on plankton dynamics in Jangmok Bay.

We have developed a cardiac cell model (Kyoto Model) for the sinoatrial node and ventricle, which is composed of a common set of kinetic equations of membrane ionic currents, Ca$\^$2+/dynamics of sarcoplasmic reticulum and contractile protein. To expand this model by including metabolic pathways, the intracellular ATP metabolism, which is pivotal in cardiac excitation - contraction coupling, was incorporated. ATP consumption by the sarcolemmal Na$\^$+/ pump and the Ca pump in the sarcoplasmic reticulum were calculated with stoichiometry of 3Na:2K:1ATP and 2Ca:1ATP, respectively. ATP consumption by contraction was estimated according to experimental data. Dependence of contraction on ATP and inorganic phosphate was modeled, based on data of skinned cardiac fiber. in production by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was modified from Korzeniewski '||'&'||' Zoladz (2001), and creatine kinase and adenylate kinase reactions were incorporated. ATP dependence of ATP-sensitive K channel and L type Ca channel were also included.

This study was conducted to understand the dynamics of microbial communities of soil microorganisms, and their distribution and abundance in the indigenous microorganisms (IMOs) manipulated from humus collected from the forest near the crop field. The soil microorganisms originated from humus and artificially cultured microbial-based soil amendments were characterized by molecular and biochemical analyses. The bacterial population (2 × 10⁶~13 × 10⁶ CFU/g sample) was approximately 100-fold abundant than the fungal population (2 × 10⁴~8 × 10⁴ CFU/g sample). The 16S rDNA and ITS sequence analyses showed that the bacterial and fungal communities in humus and IMOs were mainly composed of Bacillus and Pseudomonas, and Trichoderma and Aspergillus species, respectively. Some of the bacterial isolates from the humus and IMOs showed strong inhibitory activity against soil-borne pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. These bacteria also showed the siderophore production activity as well as phosphate solubilizing activity, which are requisite traits for biological control of plant pathogenic fungi. These results suggest that humus and IMOs could be a useful resource for sustainable agriculture.

To study the effect of solvents and counterions in Z-DNA crystal of d(5BrC-G-5BrC-G-5BrC-G), we performed the local energy analysis and then molecular dynamics simulations. Since counterions raise serious caging problems in crystal simulations, it is very important to search for the possible positions before simulations. For this purpose, the local energy analysis was done for the whole crystal volume. It is shown from our simulation that counterions along with water molecules play a bridging role to bind adjacent oligomers so as to form the crystal. In this crystal, each water molecule bound to Gua-N2H, either directly or indirectly, hydrates the adjacent anionic phosphate oxygen, and thus assists Gua to be in a syn position. From the simulation, the average root-mean-square deviation of allthe DNA heavy atom coordinates from the X-ray data is $0.99{\AA}$ . The bases are less deviated from the X-ray positions than the phosphates. The temperature factors from the simulation are consistent with those from the X-ray refinement, showing that the phosphates are more mobile than the bases.
