잔류가스측정 질량분석기(RGA)는 진공챔버 내부의 진공상태 이상유무, 공정상태 확인 및 주입가스 농도제어 등 여러 종류의 작업에 응용되고 있다. 반도체용 박막 제조공정(PVD, CVD)에서 챔버 내의 수분 혹은 불순물 가스의 정확한 모니터링은 반도체 품질향상에 매우 중요하다. 1 Pascal 진공도의 증착용 챔버에 RGA를 직접 장착하여 작동시키기 위해서는 저진공용 RGA가 사용되어야 한다. 10-3 Pascal에서 6m 자유운동거리를 갖는 질소분자는 1 Pascal에서는 6 mm로 짧은 자유운동거리를 갖는다. 따라서 1 Pascal 저진공영역에서 이온을 생성시키고 mass filter를 사용하여 질량분석을 하기 위해서는 이온원과 mass filter 길이가 자유운동거리 수준으로 작아져야한다. 저 진공영역에서는 검출기와 전자방출용 필라멘트가 저진공에서 작동되도록 일반고진공용 RGA와는 완전히 다르게 소형으로 설계 제작되어야 한다. 10-7 Pascal 이상의 초고진공에서 사용되는 RGA는 이온원이 작동할 때 발생하는 outgassing을 낮추도록 설계가 되어야 초고진공의 유지가 가능하다. 한국표준과학연구원에서 현재 개발 중인 일반고진공용 RGA를 소개하고 저진공용과 초고진공용 RGA의 설계특성을 발표한다.

Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most destructive diseases of rice worldwide. The rice - M. oryzae pathosystem has become a model in the study of plant - fungal interactions due to its economic importance and accumulating knowledge. During the evolutionary arms race with M. oryzae, rice plants evolved a repertoire of Resistance (R) genes to protect themselves from diseases in a gene-for-gene fashion. M. oryzae secretes a battery of small effector proteins to manipulate host functions for its successful infection, and some of them are recognized by host R proteins as avirulence effectors (AVR), which turns on strong immunity. Therefore, the analysis of interactions between AVRs and their cognate R proteins provide crucial insights into the molecular basis of plant - fungal interactions. Rice blast resistance genes Pik, Pia, Pii comprise pairs of protein-coding ORFs, Pik-1 and Pik-2, RGA4 and RGA5, Pii-1 and Pii-2, respectively. In all three cases, the paired genes are tightly linked and oriented to the opposite directions. In the AVR-Pik/Pik interaction, it has been unraveled that AVR-Pik binds to the N-terminal coiled-coil domain of Pik-1. RGA4 and RGA5 are necessary and sufficient to mediate Pia resistance and recognize the M. oryzae effectors AVR-Pia and AVR1-CO39. A domain at the C-terminus of RGA5 characterized by a heavy metal associated domain was identified as the AVR-binding domain of RGA5. Similarly, physical interactions among Pii-1, Pii-2 and AVR-Pii are being analyzed.

Previously, we reported the biochemical properties of RGA1 that is expressed in Escherichia coli (Seo et al., 1997). The activities of RGA1 that hydrolyzes and binds guanine nucleotide were dependent on the $MgCl_2$ concentration. The steady state rate constant ($k_{cat}$) for GTP hydrolysis of RGA1 at 2 mM $MgCl_2$ was $0.0075{\pm}0.0001\;min^{-1}$. Here, we examined the effects of pH and cations on the GTPase activity. The optimum pH at 2 mM $MgCl_2$ was approximately 6.0; whereas, the pH at 2 mM $NH_4Cl$ was approximately 4.0. The result from the cation dependence on the GTPase (guanosine 5'-triphosphatase) activity of RGA1 under the same condition showed that the GTP hydrolysis rate ($k_{cat}=0.0353\;min^{-1}$) under the condition of 2mM $NH_4Cl$ at pH 4.0 was the highest. It corresponded to about 3.24-fold of the $k_{cat}$ value of $0.0109\;min^{-1}$ in the presence of 2 mM $MgCl_2$ at pH 6.0.

A Bake-Out test for STSAT-1 FM(Flight Model) was performed in a Bake-Out Chamber at SITC(Satellite Integration & Test Center) in KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute). The purpose of this test is to measure and analyze the outgassing rate to affect the optical equipment(FIMS) and to eliminate contaminants through the high temperature bake-out. This Bake-Out test is composed of three parts which are honeycomb panels & harnesses(Batch 1), an assembled satellite(Batch 2), and a disassembled satellite(Batch 3). For each test, quantitative and qualitative measurements and analysis were performed using TQCM(Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance) and RGA(Residual Gas Analyzer.)

Gibberellins (GAs) are essential phytohormones for plant growth that influence developmental processes and crop yields. Recent functional genomic analyses of model plants have yielded good characterizations of the canonical GA signaling pathways and related genes. Although Panax ginseng has long been considered to have economic and medicinal importance, functional genomic studies of the GA signaling pathways in this crucial perennial herb plant have been rarely conducted. Here, we identified and performed functional analysis of the GA signaling-related genes, including PgGID1s, PgSLY1s, and PgRGAs. We confirmed that the physiological role of GA signaling components in P. ginseng was evolutionarily conserved. In addition, the important functional domains and amino acid residues for protein interactions among active GA, GID1, SCF^SLY1, and RGA were also functionally conserved. Prediction and comparison of crystallographic structural similarities between PgGID1s and AtGID1a supported their function as GA receptors. Moreover, the subcellular localization and GA-dependent promotion of DELLA degradation in P. ginseng was similar to the canonical GA signaling pathways in other plants. Finally, we found that overexpression of PgRGA2 and PgSLY1-1 was sufficient to complement the GA-related phenotypes of atgid1a/c double- and rga quintuple-mutants, respectively. This critical information for these GA signaling genes has the potential to facilitate future genetic engineering and breeding of P. ginseng for increased crop yield and production of useful substances.

위성체 개발에 있어서 지상에서 위성체의 부품에 대한 고온($85^{\circ}C$ 이상)과 고진공($5.0{\times}10-3Pa$ 이하)의 상태를 모사하여 오염물질을 제거하는 베이크아웃 시험이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 베이크아웃 시험의 종료여부는 TQCM (Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance)을 이용한 탈기체(outgassing)의 흡착률을 측정하여 결정한다. 측정된 흡착률을 통해 시험 대상 표면에서 발생하는 탈기체량을 추정할 수 있으며, 결국 시험 대상의 우주 부품으로써의 적합성을 판단할 수 있다. TQCM을 적용하지 못하는 경우, 베이크아웃 시험 종료여부를 판단하기 위해 잔류가스분석기(Residual Gas Analyzer: RGA)를 활용하는 것을 고려하였다. 베이크아웃 시험 중 잔류가스분석기를 활용하여 시편에서 방출되는 오염물질을 측정하였으며, 그 중 측정량이 가장 많은 40-45 amu 범위의 측정값 추이를 관찰하여, 베이크아웃 시험 종료조건 수립 가능성을 검토하였다.

Outgassing from such sources as paints, coatings, adhesives and other non-metallic surfaces can contaminate satellites, especially second surface mirror and optical lens, it cause satellite to fail in own missions. The vacuum bake-out test using high temperature(more than $85 ^{\circ}C$)and high vacuum(less than $5.0{\times}1-^{-3}$ Pa) certify that the components of satellite work properly and can survive and operate in space environment like high vacuum. In the bake-out chamber installed at SITC of KARI, Rotary vacuum pump and Booster pump produce low vacuum of 5.0 Pa, and then two cryopumps produce high vacuum of below $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ Pa. Also 48 ceramic heaters were provided to simulate high temperature. During the vacuum bake-out test, we detected contaminants using RGA(Residual Gas Analyzer) and measure the outgassing rate of the contaminant using the TQCM(Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance). Also, IR/UV Spectrometer and witness plate be used to certify that the components were suitable for the spacecraft. This paper includes the preparation and procedures of the bake-out test for SAR(Solar Array Regulator) and MLI(Multi Layer Insulator), which were the components of the spacecraft. Especially, we discussed the methods and results of the contamination measurement. In the bake-out for SAR, the contamination was measured continuously although it was on the decrease from TQCM results. And RCA established that it is a highly polymerized compound. In the MLI bake-out using RGA and witness plate, we didn't detect any contamination materials.

가속기나 토카막과 같은 거대한 진공 장치의 용기 내벽을 청정화 하기 위해서는 용기 전체의 열처리(굽기, Baking)와 글로우 방전(Glow discharge) 법을 병행하여 사용한다. Baking은 일반 기체(N2, O2, 그리고 CO2)와 물(H2O)의 탈착에 효과적이고, Glow discharge cleaning은 탄소(Carbon-based)와 산소(Oxygen-based) 화합물의 탈착에 효과적이다. 특히 Glow discharge cleaning의 경우에는 전극의 모양, 진공 용기의 재질과 모양, 전극간의 거리, 사용되는 반응 기체의 압력 등에 따라 그 효과에 큰 차이가 있으므로 다각적인 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 그림 1과 같이 시험용 스테인레스(AISI 304와 AISI 316LN) 진공 용기를 설치하고, 시험 용기의 한쪽은 배기 용기와 oriffice로, 다른 편은 불순물의 정성.정량 분석을 위해 RGA(Residual gas analyser) 용기와 oriffice로 연결하였다. 전체 시스템 중에서 배기 부분과 분석 부분은 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 가열하여 전체의 기저 진공도를 1$\times$10-8Torr로 하였다. 기저 진공도의 용기에 고순도의 반응기체 (He, Ar, Ar+He, Ar+H2, Ar+N2 등)를 주입한후, DC 전압(0.8~1.5kV)을 변화하며 글로우 방전의 최적조건을 찾았다. 방전 동안 시험용 용기에서 방출되는 반응 기체 이외의 기체를 RGA로 측정하였고 외부에 Thermocouple을 여러곳에 장착하여 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 진공 용기 표면적으로부터의 불순물 탈착(desorption)과 불순물 분석, 플라즈마와 내벽의 상호작용등에 대한 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Baking과 Glow discharge cleaning을 동시에 수행하여 Baking 온도의 낮춤에 따른 영향 평가도 수행하였다.

Volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emitted from PC/Monitor set and chemical parts com-prising of PC/Monitor set were analyzed aran, and xylene of VOCs based on qualitative analysis. As a result of these analyses, when the Wedge Rub-ber of rubber product was heated from 60$^{\circ}C$ to 80$^{\circ}C$, the emission rate(%) of xylene was increased about 2.5 times. But it was evaluated that the left of chemical parts were not affected by temperature except Wedge Rub-ber. The results of qualitative analyses between RGA and GC-MS were a little different respectively. With quantitative analysis, concentration of xylene emitted from cabinet was measured to be maximum as 6029.3 ug/ m$^3$(1.3ppm). The concentrations of toluene, xylene, and benzofuran derived from PC/Monitor set were 10.25${\mu}g/m^3$, 690${\mu}g/m^3$, and 180 ${\mu}g/m^3$, and these concentrations were relatively high levels which can bring on the risk to human health.

To understand the signal transduction pathway that leads to the activation of the wound-inducible proteinase inhibitor II (pin2) promoter. $F_2$ progenies of wound (-) mutant crossed with wild-type Arabidopsis plants were biochemically and genetically characterized. Wound (-) mutant was derived from transgenic Arabidopsis plants containing bacterial cytosine deaminase gene under the control of pin2 promoter. The cytosine deaminase assays indicated that wound (-) mutant is a dominant inhibitor of wound-inducibility as only 3 of the $20F_2$ progenies showed cytosine deaminase (CDase) activity, To construct a structural map of the wound (-) mutant chromosomal regions, cleaved, amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) markers that cover all Chromosomes were used. Chromosomal regions covered by three different CAPS markers could be candidates for further fine mapping of the location of the wound (-) mutation. g4026, RGA1 and ASA1 located at 84.9 on recombinant inbred (RI) map of chromosome I, at 1.75 on RI map of chromosome II, and 18.35 on RI map of chromosome V, respectively.
