Urea-SCR, the selective catalytic reduction using urea as reducing agent, has been investigated for about 10 years in detail and today is a well established technique for deNOx of stationary diesel engines. In the case of the SCR-catalyst a non-uniform velocity and $NH_3$ profile will cause an inhomogeneous conversion of the reducing agent $NH_3$, resulting in a local breakthrough of $NH_3$ or increasing NOx emissions. Therefore, this work investigates the effect of flow and $NH_3$ non-uniformities on the deNOx performance and $NH_3$ slip in a Urea-SCR exhaust system. From the results of this study, it is found that flow and $NH_3$ distribution within SCR monolith is strongly related with deNOx performance of SCR catalyst. It is also found that multi-hole injector shows better $NH_3$ uniformity at the face of SCR monolith face than one hole injector.

The effects of KR-31378, a neuroprotective agent for ischemia-reperfusion damage, on liver microsomal cytochrome P450s (CYPs) were investigated in male Sprague Dawley rats. When rats were treated orally with KR-31378 for 7 consecutive days, CYP3A-selective erythromycin N-demethylase (ERDM) activity was significantly induced in a dose-dependent manner. In Western immunoblotting, CYP 3A proteins were clearly induced by treatment with KR-31378. Within 24 h after treatment with 80 mg/kg of KR-31378, ERDM activity was induced in liver microsomes in accompanied by induction of the level of CYP 3A proteins. The present results suggest that KR-31378 might modulate the expression of CYP 3A enzymes in humans.

Many modalities of treatment for acquired skin hyperpigmentation are available including chemical agents or physical therapies, but none are completely satisfactory. The ideal depigmenting compound should have a potent. rapid and selective bleaching effect on hyperactivated melanocytes, carry no short- or long-term side-effects and lead to a permanent removal of undesired pigment. acting at one or more steps of the pigmentation process. Depigmentation can be achieved by regulating (i) the transcription and activity of tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2), and/or peroxidase; (ii) the uptake and distribution of melanosomes in recipient keratinocytes and (iii) melanin and melanosome degradation and turnover of pigmented keratinocytes. One of the interesting point for development of skin whitening agent is Mitf(Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor). Mitf belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix-zip family of trabscription factors and it is crucial as it regulates both melanocyte proliferation as well as melanogenesis and is the major regulator of tyrosinase and the related enzymes (TRPs), as well as many melanosome structural proteins such as pMel17. Recently, we developed MITF-down-regulating agents from natural and synthetic sources, which have anti-melanogenic effect on in vitro and in vivo. We suggested that potent MITF-down regulating agents might be used for skin whitening cosmeceuticals.

In continuous research of detecting highly toxic chemical warfare agents to ensure preparedness for the future battlefield, flexible and wearable sensor platforms with high sensitivity are still demanding. Herein we demonstrate a facile fabrication of polypyrrole-based chemiresistors on cellulose paper for the detection of nerve gas simulants. In order to optimize electrical properties of sensor platform, conducting polymer made of polypyrrole were first synthesized on flexible cellulose paper and interdigitated electrodes were formed thereon. Following confirmation of polypyrrole and/or oxime moiety through FT-IR analyses, electrical characteristics were measured in the various ratio of monomers between simple pyrrole and oxime-modified one. Typically for the optimized chemiresistor(2:8 molar ratio of simple pyrrole and oxime-modified one), eleven species of chemical warfare agents were examined and enhanced conductivity(10⁴~10⁵ order) was observed for three simulants(diethyl cyanophosphonate, diisopropyl fluorophosphonate and diethyl chlorophosphonate), which was mainly attributed to intermolecular hydrogen bonding, while no significant responses was recorded against sixteen common volatile organic chemicals.

Mycopasma contamination of tissue culture cells easily evades detection and, thus, represents a continous therat to cell biologists. In case where infected cell can not simply be replaced, attempts have to be made to eradicate mycoplacma from the tissue culture cells. A variety of anti-microbial agents have been shown to be toxic to mycoplasma strains ; however, cell associated mycoplasma are often protected from antibiotics at concentrations shown to be effective in vitro. Antibiotic concentrations high enough to be lethal to cell as sociated mycoplasmas frequently are also detrimentrations to the host cells, while moderately increased antibiotic levels tolerated by the host cells often lead to only temporary growth suppression and/or to the emergence of mycoplasma strains resistanct even to high concentrations of the antibiotis applied. Hare, a genetic approach for the elimination of mycoplasma from tissue culture cells that overcomes thens limitations is described. By expression of a selection marker conferring resistance to an otherwise toxic agent, Acholeplasma laidlawii infected BHK-21 cells used as the model system were enabled to temporarily tolerate antibiotic concentrations high enough to be lethal to cell associated mycopalsma while leaving the host cells unharmed. Upon successful mycoplasma eradicated, cultvation of the cured host cells in the absence of the selective agent yielded revertant cell clones that had regained susceptibillity to the toxic agent. Cressation of the selection marker expression was shown to result from the loss of the selection marker DNA, which is a consequence of the fact that the stable and permanent integration of foreign DNA in eucaryotic cell chrosomes is highly inefficient. Thus, the cells were cured from mycoplasma yet remained biochemically unaltered.

우리나라 전력시장에서도 보다 선진화된 요금체계가 도입되어야 한다는 관점에서 가정부문에서의 선택적 전력요금제 도입이 논의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고정요금제, 실시간 요금제(RTP), 계시별 요금제(TOU)를 도입하였을 때의 효과를 분석하기 위해 행위자기반모형을 구축하였다. 시간대별 전력소비 유형이 다른 행위자를 설정하였으며, 전력수요와 전력가격을 연동시키기 위해 발전부문도 모형에 도입하였다. 분석 결과, 소비자 유형이 피크부하 때 덜 사용하는 경우에는 실시간 요금제인 RTP나 TOU를 택했을 때의 비용절감 효과가 컸으며, 특히 스마트 계량기 등을 이용하여 전력사용 시간을 최적화할 수 있는 경우에는 그 편익이 더욱 증가한 것으로 나타나 향후 스마트 전력소비를 위한 인프라 구축이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

포화지방산 또는 불포화지방산의 분리방법인 요소부 가법이 지닌 가메탄올 분해(methanolysis)와 농축물 회수의 곤란함 등의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 지방산과 요소의 부가화합물 형성의 반응매질로 유기용매를 사용하고 요소의 습윤제로 물을 사용한 새로운 요소부가법을 제시하였다. 어유를 원료로 제조한 지방산을 헵탄, 헥산, 이소옥탄같은 비극성 유기용매에 용해키시고 요소와 요소의 습윤제인 물을 첨가하여 부가화합물 형성을 유도한 후 요소와 부가화합물을 잘 형성하지 않는 불포화지방산 분획을 회수하여 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과 EPA, DHA 및 이들의 전구물질을 포함한 고도불포화지방산이 80%이상인 것으로 나타났다. 이 고도불포화지방산 농축물내에 EPA와 DHA 함량은 사용하는 유기용매으 종류에 따라서 변화되었는데, 헵탄과 에틸 에테르 등을 사용할 경우에는 EPA의 농축에 효과가 높았다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 우선 펜탄을 사용하여 DHA를 농축하고 다시 헵탄을 사용하여 EPA의 농축을 시도한 바 어유 지방산으로부터 DHA가 50%인 농축물과 EPA가 53%인 분획을 각각 얻을 수 있었다.

장기간 운전되는 선택적 촉매 반응공정(SCR Process)에서 $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ 촉매의 활성저하에 미치는 요소들에 대해 고찰하였다. $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ 촉매의 활성은 공정이 8개월 정도 운전되었을 때 급격히 감소하였다. ICP-AES 분석결과, 공정에서 사용된 $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ 촉매의 활성이 저하되는 것은 선택적 촉매반응공정에서 환원제로 요소용액에 첨가된 칼슘성분에 기인되는 것으로 사료되었다. $NH_3$-TPD 실험결과, 칼슘성분과 같은 강한 염기성 성분은 촉매의 산도에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 비록 농도가 매우 적은 범위라도 칼슘성분이 선택적 촉매 반응공정에서 촉매의 활성도 저하의 원인이 되는 것으로 사료되었다.

본 연구는 nPr-BTP/nitrobenzene 추출 계에 의한 악티나이드(III)의 선택적 분리로, 우선 자연친화적 CHN 형 의 nPr-BTP (2.6-Bis-(5.6-n-propyl-1.2.4-triazin-3-yl)-pyridine)를 합성하고, 이의 희석제에 대한 용해성 및 질산에 대한 안정성 등을 평가하였다. 악티나이드(III)의 대표원소로는 Am을 선정하였으며, 0.1M nPr-BTP/nitrobenzene-1M $HNO_3$, O/A=2의 조건에서 Am은 약 85%, RE 원소는 Eu가 8%, 기타 Nd, Ce, Y 등은 3% 이하가 추출되어 (이때 Am/Eu의 상호분리 계수 약 60정도) 악티나이드(III)의 선택적 추출에는 별 문제가 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 Am의 역추출의 경우 0.05M 질산용액으로 O/A=1 에서 약43%가 역추출 되었으며, O/A=0.3에서도 65% 정도만이 역추출 되어 질산 이외의 다른 역추출제의 개발이 요구되고 있다.

As a part of an ongoing effort to discover inhibitors of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA replication, we describe here the first synthetic route of 1'($\alpha$),2'($\beta$)-C-dimethyl carbocyclic adenine analogue. The key intermediate cyclopentenyl alcohol 8($\alpha$) was prepared from aldehyde 4 using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as a key reaction. Coupling of 8($\alpha$) with nucleosidic base via the regioselective Mitsunobu reaction followed by stereoselective dihydoxylation and deprotection afforded the target carbocyclic adenine analogue 12.
