  • 그린뉴딜정책의 실현은 석탄을 연료에서 원료로 활용분야로의 전환을 촉진시킬 것이다. 석탄은 수소의 생산, 인조 흑연 및 활성탄의 제조 원료로 활용될 수 있다. 석탄은 Steam carbon(SC) 반응과 Water-Gas Shift(WGS) 반응 및 탄산화 반응을 통하여 수소를 생산할 수 있으며, CO2격리기술과 연동되어 사용되어야 한다. 인조흑연은 실리콘이나 철 등의 무기촉매의 존재하에서 탄화도가 높은 무연탄 등을 2400~2800℃의 흑연화 온도까지 열처리함으로서 제조될 수 있기 때문에 무연탄은 석유계 피치에 비해 원료 가격경쟁력 측면에서 잠재성이 있다. 한편, 최근 목질기원의 활성탄에 필적하는 넓은 비표면적 혹은 많은 양의 미세기공을 가진 석탄기원의 활성탄이 제조될 수 있음을 여러 연구를 통해 확인되었다. 따라서 석탄기원의 활성탄은 목질기원의 활성탄을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 보다 자동화된 방법으로 신뢰성 있는 난류 플럭스의 자료를 생산하기 위해서 Hong and Kim(2002)의 난류 품질 관리 프로그램을 개선하고 개선된 프로그램을 광릉산림에 적용하여 복잡한 산림지역에서 난류 플럭스의 특성을 조사하였다. 개선된 프로그램을 이용하여 2005년 1월부터 5월까지 광릉 수목원에 위치한 주 타워의 두 고도(20m와 40m)에서 관측된 난류 자료에 대하여 품질 검사를 실시하였다. 개선전과 비교해 개선된 프로그램은 이상점(outlier)에 해당되는 자료들을 많이 제거하였다. 자료의 품질체계는 4등급(Good, Dubious, Missing, Bad)으로 분류하였으며 본 분석에서 사용된 기간의 자료 중 25%는 결측이었고(Missing 등급), 60%는 Good 등급으로 분류되었다. 고도 별로는 40m에서 관측된 자료가 20m에서 관측된 자료보다 Bad 등급의 자료수가 적었는데 이는 20m가 식생 꼭대기에 인접한 거칠기 아층에 해당하고 또한 풍속도 더 낮은데 기인한다. Bad 등급으로 분류된 자료의 주원인은 낮은 풍속으로 나타났다. 분석 기간 동안의 에너지 수지의 닫힘은 약 40%로 나타났고 이러한 에너지 불균형의 부분적인 이유로는 열 저장항들이 고려되지 않은 점, 토양열 플럭스 측정의 불확실성, 복잡한 지형 등에 의한 국지풍에 의한 이류 등이 복합적으로 작용했을 것으로 생각된다. 광릉에서 발생하는 상향 운동량 플럭스는 국지풍의 발달 시 높은 발생률을 보여 이 둘이 밀접히 관련되어 있음을 나타낸다. 야간에 낮은 음의 $CO_2$ 플럭스가 발생하는 경우에 대하여 평균 시간을 증가시킴에 따른 $CO_2$ flux의 변화를 조사한 결과 평균시간이 10분 이상 증가함에 따라 $CO_2$ flux의 절대값이 빠르게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 야간에 $CO_2$ 플럭스는 중규모 운동이나 비정상성(nonstationarity) 등의 영향을 많이 받고 있음을 시사한다. 그러므로 야간에 보다 정확한 난류 플럭스 값을 산출하기 위해서는 평균시간의 적절한 조절이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

  • 본 연구는 수원 입북동 출토 철제환두도의 비금속개재물을 SEM-EDS로 분석하여 제철조업 온도를 추정하고 산화물을 $SiO_2$와 비교하여 조재제의 인위적 장입 여부를 판단하였으며 금속학적인 조직조사를 통하여 철제 환두도의 제작 시 열처리 기술을 연구하였다. 철제환두도의 시편들에서 wustite가 대부분 관찰되는 것으로 보아 고체저온환원법으로 제련한 철 소재를 가열-단조-성형 가공하여 제작된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 부분적으로 $P_2O_5$가 있는 것으로 보아 배소되지 않은 자연광석으로 직접 제련하였던 것으로 추정된다. $CaO/SiO_2$$TiO_2/SiO_2$ 등의 비로 보아 제철 원료는 철광석으로 판단되며, 석회질의 조재제도 인위적으로 장입하지는 않은 것으로 판단된다. 선단 쪽 인부의 조직은 순철인데 관부 쪽 인부는 탄소량도 높고 martensite 조직과 pearlite colony가 생성되어 있는 것으로 보아 침탄 후 담금질을 하였으며, 배부 및 병부와 환두부는 의도하지 않은 침탄이 된 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 철제환두도 시편들의 조직 양상들을 종합해본 결과 인위적인 부분적인 열처리 기법을 적용하여 제작한 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 한 유물에서나타나는 비금속개재물의 성분분석을 통해 얻은 산화물 데이터를 $SiO_2$로 나눈 비로 비교하는 해석하는 방법을 활용하여 좀 더 과학적인 근거를 제시하려고 노력하였다. 이러한 방법으로 기존의 분석 연구된 결과들에 의한 주장들을 재해석함으로 해서 다른 결과들을 얻을 수 있을 거라 사료된다.

  • Through the study on judgment of Body form and settle Energy flow(立形定氣) before diagnose the patients, the results are as follows. The observation of the body form is to determine prosperity and deficiency of each internal organ. It is necessary to distinguish Body form loss(形脫) and Body form fullness(形充). Fat man(肥人), Thin man(瘦人), Creamy man(膏人), Muscular man(肉人), Small Fat man(脂人) are discriminated by fat distribution, fat content, and muscle mass. The observation of the body form means the observation of structure disorder, color change, develop part at body, head and face. The observation of the body form that is to determine prosperity and deficiency of each internal organ is from the limited knowledge of the anatomy. The observation of face color is considered by blood perfusion, blood oxygenation and accumulation of carotinoid, bilirubin and change of melanin in the facial skin. The prosperity and the deficiency of energy flow is considered by symptom combined with growth (<40 years) and aging (>40 years). The prosperity of energy flow includes the anger, anxious emotion and the deficiency of energy flow includes the fear, depressive emotion. The breathing type is expiratory exhalation like asthma patients in the prosperity of energy flow. The deficiency of energy flow is weakness to overcome the disease. The prosperity and the deficiency of energy flow are considered by body metabolic ratios (Basal metabolic Rate: BMR, Resting metabolic rate: RMR, Physical activity ratios: PASs). Development of subcutaneous fat is good in the person of prosperous energy flow. The person of prosperous energy flow is hard to overcome to heat weather than cold weather. The person of deficiency of energy flow has tendencies of low blood pressure, insufficiency of blood flow in the peripheral and being shocked. The person of deficiency of energy flow has tendencies of chronic fatigue syndrome or automatic nerve disorder. If the patient who has deficiency of energy flow has severe weight loss should be checked for the presence of disease. The observation of small and large of bone is to check the development and disorder of bone growth and aging. The observation of thickness and weakness of muscle is to check the development of muscle, particularly biceps, gastrocnemius, and rectus abdominal muscle. The observation of thickness and weakness of skin is to check the ability of regulating body temperature by sweating.

  • Lasers have given dentistry a new rapid, economic, and accurate technique for metal joining. Although laser welding has been recommended as an accurate technique, there are some limitations with this technique. For example, the two joining surfaces must have a tight-fitting contact, which may be difficult to achieve in some situations. The tensile samples used for this study were made from a custom-made pure titanium and type III gold alloy plates. 27 of 33 specimens were sectioned perpendicular to their long axis with a carborundum disk and water coolant. Six specimens remained and served as the control group. A group of 6 specimens was posed as butt joints in custom parallel positioning device with a feeler gauge at each of three gaps : 0.00, 0.25. and 0.50mm. All specimens were then machined to produce a uniform cross-sectional dimension, none of the specimens was subjected to any subsequent form of heat treatment. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on representative tested specimens at fractured surfaces in both the parent metal and the weld. Vickers hardness was measured at the center of the welds with a micropenetrometer using a force of 300gm for 15 seconds. Measurement was made at approximately $200{\mu}m\;and\;500{\mu}m$ deep from each surface. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Scheffe's test was calculated to detect differences between groups. The purpose of this study is to compare the strength and properties of the joint achieved at various butt Joint gaps by the laser welding of type III gold alloy and pure titanium tensile specimens in an argon atmosphere. The results of this study were as follows : 1. When indexing and welding pure titanium, there was no decrease in ultimate tensile strength as compared with the unsectioned alloys for indexing gaps of 0.00 to 0.50mm, although with increasing gap size may come increased distortion (p>0.05). 2. When indexing and welding type III gold alloy, there were significant differences in ultimate tensile strength among groups with weld gaps of 0.00mm, 0.25 and 0.50mm, and the control group. Group with butt contact without weld gap demonstrated a significant higher ultimate tensile strength than groups with weld gaps of 0.25 and 0.50mm (p<0.05). 3. When indexing and welding the different metal combination of type III gold alloy and pure titanium, there were significant differences in ultimate tensile strength between groups with weld gaps of 0.00, 0.25, and 0.50mm. However, the mechanical properties of the welded joint would become too brittle to be acceptable clinically (p<0.05). 4. The presence of large pores in the laser welded joint appears to be the most important factor in controlling the tensile strength of the weld in both pure titanium and type III gold alloy.

  • Background: We have previously reported that not only cGMP but also 8-Br-cGMP or 8-pCPT-cGMP, specific and potent stimulators of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGMP-PK), increased basal L-type calcium current $(I_{Ca})$ in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Our findings in rabbit ventricular myocytes were entirely different from the earlier findings in different species, suggesting that the activation of cGMP-PK is involved in the facilitation of $I_{Ca}}$ by cGMP. However, there is no direct evidence that cGMP-PK can stimulate $I_{Ca}}$ in rabbit ventricular myocytes. In this report, we focused on the direct effect of cGMP-PK on $I_{Ca}}$ in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Methods and Results: We isolated single ventricular myocytes of rabbit hearts by using enzymatic dissociation. Regulation of $I_{Ca}}$ by cGMP-PK was investigated in rabbit ventricular myocytes using whole-cell voltage clamp method. $I_{Ca}}$ was elicited by a depolarizing pulse to +10 mV from a holding potential of -40 mV. Extracellular 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-pCPT-cGMP), potent stimulator of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGMP-PK), increased basal $I_{Ca}}$. cGMP-PK also increased basal $I_{Ca}}$. The stimulation of basal $I_{Ca}}$ by cGMP-PK required both 8-Br-cGMP in low concentration and intracellular ATP to be present. The stimulation of basal $I_{Ca}}$ by cGMP-PK was blocked by heat inactivation of the cGMP-PK and by bath application of 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, Rp-isomer (Rp-pCPT-cGMP), a phosphodiesterase-resistant cGMP-PK inhibitor. When $I_{Ca}}$ was increased by internal application of cGMP-PK, IBMX resulted in an additional stimulation of $I_{Ca}}$. In the presence of cGMP-PK, already increased $I_{Ca}}$ was potentiated by bath application of isoprenaline or forskolin or intracellular application of cAMP. Conclusions: We present evidence that cGMP-PK stimulated basal $I_{Ca}}$ by a direct phosphorylation of L-type calcium channel or associated regulatory protein in rabbit ventricular myocytes.

  • The enzyme xylose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.5, XI) is responsible for the conversion of an aldose to ketose, especially xylose to xylulose. Owing to the ability of XI to isomerize glucose to fructose, this enzyme is used in the food industry to prepare high-fructose corn syrup. Therefore, we studied the characteristics of XI from Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis G10, a thermophilic bacterium. First, the gene coding for XI (xylA) was inserted into the pET-21a(+) expression vector and the construct was transformed into the Escherichia coli competent cell BL21 (DE3). The expression of recombinant XI was induced in the absence of isopropyl-thio-${\beta}$-galactopyranoside and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The optimum temperature of recombinant XI was $80^{\circ}C$ and measurement of the heat stability indicated that 55% of residual activity was maintained after 2 h incubation at $60^{\circ}C$. The optimum pH was found to be 7.5 in sodium phosphate buffer. Magnesium, manganese, and cobalt ions were found to increase the enzyme activity; manganese was the most effective. Additionally, recombinant XI was resistant to the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions. The kinetic properties, $K_m$ and $V_{max}$, were calculated as 81.44 mM and $2.237{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively. Through redundancy analysis, XI of A. kamchatkensis G10 was classified into a family containing type II XIs produced by the genera Geobacillus, Bacillus, and Thermotoga. These results suggested that the thermostable nature of XI of A. kamchatkensis G10 may be advantageous in industrial applications and food processing.

  • Our previous proteomic study demonstrated that oxidative stress and antioxidant delphinidin regulated the cellular level of $p27^{kip1}$ (referred to as p27) as well as some heat shock proteins in human colon cancer HT 29 cells. Current study was conducted to validate and confirm the regulation of these proteins using both in vitro and in vivo systems. The level of p27 was decreased by hydrogen peroxide in a dose-dependent manner in human colon carcinoma HCT 116 (p53-positive) cells while it was increased upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide in HT 29 (p53-negative) cells. However, high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (100 ${\mu}M)$ downregulated p27 in both cell lines, but delphindin, one of antioxidative anthocyanins, enhanced the level of p27 suppressed by 100 ${\mu}M$ hydrogen peroxide. ICR mice were injected with varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, delphinidin and both. Western blot analysis for the mouse large intestinal tissue showed that the expression of p27 was upregulated by 25 mg/kg BW hydrogen peroxide. To investigate the association of p27 regulation with hypoxia-inducible factor 1-beta (HIF-$1{\beta}$), the level of p27 was analyzed in wild-type mouse hepatoma hepa1c1c7 and Aryl Hydrocarbon Nuclear Translocator (arnt, HIF-$1{\beta}$)-defective mutant BPRc1 cells in the absence and presence of hydrogen peroxide and delphinidin. While the level of p27 was responsive to hydrogen peroxide and delphinidin, it remained unchanged in BPRc1, suggesting that the regulation of p27 requires functional HIF-$1{\beta}$. We also found that hydrogen peroxide and delphinidin affected PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway which is one of upstream regulators of HIFs. In conclusion, hydrogen peroxide and antioxidant delphinidin seem to regulate intracellular level of p27 through regulating HIF-1 level which is, in turn, governed by its upstream regulators comprising of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. The results should also encourage further study for the potential of p27 as a biomarker for intracellular oxidative or antioxidant status.

  • The present investigation tested the hypothesis that the activation of protein kinase G (PKG) leads to a phosphorylation of $Ca^{2+}-activated$ potassium channel $(K_{Ca}\;channel)$ and is involved in the activation of $K_{Ca}$ channel activity in cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells of the rabbit. Single-channel currents were recorded in cell-attached and inside-out patch configurations of patch-clamp techniques. Both molsidomine derivative 3-morpholinosydnonimine-N-ethylcarbamide $(SIN-1,\;50\;{\mu}M)$ and 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate $(8-pCPT-cGMP,\;100\;{\mu}M),$ a membrane-permeable analogue of cGMP, increased the $K_{Ca}$ channel activity in the cell-attached patch configuration, and the effect was removed upon washout of the drugs. In inside-out patches, single-channel current amplitude was not changed by SIN-1 and 8-pCPT-cGMP. Application of ATP $(100\;{\mu}M),$ cGMP $(100\;{\mu}M),$ ATP+cGMP $(100\;{\mu}M\;each),$ PKG $(5\;U/{\mu}l),$ ATP $(100\;{\mu}M)+PKG\;(5\;U/{\mu}l),$ or cGMP $(100\;{\mu}M)+PKG\;(5\;U/{\mu}l)$ did not increase the channel activity. ATP $(100\;{\mu}M)+cGMP\;(100\;{\mu}M)+PKG\;(5\;U/{\mu}l)$ added directly to the intracellular phase of inside-out patches increased the channel activity with no changes in the conductance. The heat-inactivated PKG had no effect on the channel activity, and the effect of PKG was inhibited by 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, Rp-isomer $(Rp-pCPT-cGMP,\;100\;{\mu}M),$ a potent inhibitor of PKG or protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A, 1 U/ml). In the presence of okadaic acid (OA, 5 nM), PP2A had no effect on the channel activity. The $K_{Ca}$ channel activity spontaneously decayed to the control level upon washout of ATP, cGMP and PKG, and this was prevented by OA (5 nM) in the medium. These results suggest that the PKG-mediated phosphorylations of $K_{Ca}$ channels, or some associated proteins in the membrane patch increase the activity of the $K_{Ca}$ channel, and the activation may be associated with the vasodilating action.
