Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model (SRTM DEM) offers opportunities to make advances in many research areas including hydrology by providing near-global scale elevation measurements at a uniform resolution. Its wide coverage and complimentary online access especially benefits researchers requiring topographic information of hard-to-access areas. However, SRTM DEM also contains inherent errors, which are subject to propagation with its manipulation into analysis outputs. Sensitivity of hydrologic analysis to the errors has not been fully understood yet. This study investigated their impact on estimation of hydrologic derivatives such as slope, stream network, and watershed boundary using Monte Carlo simulation and spatial moving average techniques. Different amount of the errors and their spatial auto-correlation structure were considered in the study. Two sub-watersheds of Geum and Deadong River areas located in South and North Korea, respectively, were selected as the study areas. The results demonstrated that the spatial presentations of stream networks and watershed boundaries and their length and area estimations could be greatly affected by the SRTM DEM errors, in particular relatively flat areas. In the Deadong River area, artifacts of the SRTM DEM created sinks even after the filling process and then closed drainage basin and short stream lines, which are not the case in the reality. These findings provided an evidence that SRTM DEM alone may not enough to accurately figure out the hydrologic feature of a watershed, suggesting need of local knowledge and complementary data.

Rate constants at various temperatures and activation parameters are reported for solvolyses of acyl chlorides (RCOCl), with R = Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, cyclopentylmethyl, benzyl, thiophenylmethyl, 2-phenylethyl, diphenylmethyl, and phenylthiomethyl in 100% ethanol, 100% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), 80% v/v ethanol/ water and 97% w/w TFE/water. Additional rate constants for solvolyses with R = Me, t-Bu, and $PhCH_2$ are reported for TFE/water and TFE/ethanol mixtures, and for solvolyses with R = t-Bu, and PhCH2 are reported for 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol/water mixtures, as well as selected kinetic solvent isotope effects (MeOH/MeOD and TFE). Taft plots show that electron withdrawing groups (EWG) decrease reactivity significantly in TFE, but increase reactivity slightly in ethanol. Correlation of solvent effects using the extended Grunwald-Winstein (GW) equation shows an increasing sensitivity to solvent nucleophilicity for EWG. The effect of solvent stoichiometry in assumed third order reactions is evaluated for TFE/ethanol mixtures, which do not fit well in GW plots for R = Me, and t-Bu, and it is proposed that one molecule of TFE may have a specific role as electrophile; in contrast, reactions of substrates containing an EWG can be explained by third order reactions in which one molecule of solvent (ethanol or TFE) acts as a nucleophile, and a molecule of ethanol acts as a general base catalyst. Isokinetic relationships are also investigated.

가소제는 추진제 혼화 시 흐름성과 공정성을 향상시키는 역할을 한다. 대표적인 가소제로서 DOS, DOA, IDP, BTTN 등이 있다. 특히 BTTN은 에너지 가소제로서 추진제 성능에 도움을 주는 물질이며, 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 물질들은 충격감도가 비교적 민감하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 둔감한 에너지 가소제를 개발하기 위해 트리아졸 계열의 4,5-bis (azidomethyl)-(1-butyl)-1,2,3-triazole (1-DABTR)을 합성하고 이화학적 특성 분석을 하였다. 또한, 분광분석(NMR, IR)을 통해 1-DABTR의 구조를 분석하였고, 유리전이온도, 녹는점, 분해온도, 밀도, 점도, 충격감도 등의 물리적 특성을 측정하였다. 그리고 Gaussian 09를 이용하여 생성열을 계산하였다.

The clinical benefits of oncogenic BRAF inhibitor therapies are limited by the emergence of drug resistance. In this study, we investigated the role of a negative regulator of the MAPK pathway, Spry2, in acquired resistance using BRAF inhibitor-resistant derivatives of the BRAF-V600E melanoma (A375P/Mdr). Real-time RT-PCR analysis indicated that the expression of Spry2 was higher in A375P cells harboring the BRAF V600E mutation compared with wild-type BRAF-bearing cells (SK-MEL-2) that are resistant to BRAF inhibitors. This result suggests the ability of BRAF V600E to evade feedback suppression in cell lines with BRAF V600E mutations despite high Spry2 expression. Most interestingly, Spry2 exhibited strongly reduced expression in A375P/Mdr cells with acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors. Furthermore, the overexpression of Spry2 partially restored sensitivity to the BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 in two BRAF inhibitor-resistant cells, indicating a positive role for Spry2 in the growth inhibition induced by BRAF inhibitors. On the other hand, long-term treatment with PLX4720 induced pERK reactivation following BRAF inhibition in A375P cells, indicating that negative feedback including Spry2 may be bypassed in BRAF mutant melanoma cells. In addition, the siRNA-mediated knockdown of Raf-1 attenuated the rebound activation of ERK stimulated by PLX4720 in A375P cells, strongly suggesting the positive role of Raf-1 kinase in ERK activation in response to BRAF inhibition. Taken together, these data suggest that RAF signaling may be released from negative feedback inhibition through interacting with Spry2, leading to ERK rebound and, consequently, the induction of acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors.

1-Nitropyrene (1-NP), 2-NP and 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFR) are useful markers for studying the atmospheric behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs). However, present methods for measuring trace levels of these compounds are lesssensitive and laborious. Here we describe several improvements to a previously reported high-performance liquid chromatography-chemiluminescence detection system that allows it to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR. The proposed system was equipped with a reducer column packed with Pt/Rh instead of zinc whose life-time was limited. The combination of Cosmosil MS-II (monomeric ODS) and AR-II (polymeric ODS) columns was used instead of polymeric ODS columns as the separator column to improve the separation. An ethanol mixture with acetate buffer (pH 5.5) was used in place of an acetonitrile mixture with the same buffer to activate the reducer column. The same ethanol mixture was used as the mobile phase for the clean-up column. The switching time of the column switching valve was optimized to concentrate the amino-derivatives of above NPAHs quantitatively on the concentrator column. The concentrations of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenly) oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in the chemiluminescence reagent solution were optimized to 0.4 mM and 30 mM, respectively, to increase the sensitivity. Under the above conditions, the detection limits (S/N=3) of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were 1 fmol (0.25 pg), 10 fmol (2.5 pg) and 4 fmol (1 pg), respectively. The proposed system was effectively used to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR in airborne particulates collected at Noto Peninsula. The atmospheric concentrations of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were not more than sub pg $m^{-3}$ levels. They were higher in winter (January) than in summer (July). In both seasons, the concentrations were in decreasing order, [2-NFR]>[1-NP]>[2-NP].

토양 침투수중에 잔류하는 제초제 MCPP를 추출, 유도체를 합성하여 GC-MS로 확인하고 capillary GC-ECD로 잔류분석하였다. Diazomethane과 $BF_3$/MeOH 등을 이용하여 합성한 MCPP의 methyl 유도체, 황산을 촉매로 이용하여 합성한 MCPP의 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl(TFE) 및 2,2,2-trichloroethyl(TCE) 유도체, 그리고 MCPP의 pentafluorobenzyl(PFB) 유도체간의 잔류분석법을 비교한 결과 이 연구에서 개발된 MCPP-TFE 유도체화가 간편하고 신속, 안전한 유도체화 기술로서 GC-ECD에서 비교적 감도가 우수한 편이었다. MCPP의 methyl 유도체는 GC-ECD에서 그 감도가 너무 낮아 시료가 소량인 경우 ppb 수준의 잔류분석이 불가능하였고 MCPP-TCE 및 MCPP-PFB 유도체는 그 감도는 우수하였으나 크로마토그람상의 방해물질이 많아 액액분리에 의한 정제만으로는 잔류분석이 곤란하였다. MCPP-TFE 유도체화에 의하면 토양침투수 100ml중 $0.1{\mu}g$ 미만의 농도를 가진 MCPP의 잔류분석이 액액분리에 의한 정제만으로 가능하였다.

In vision measurement systems based on structured light, the key point of detection precision is to determine accurately the central position of the projected laser line in the image. The purpose of this research is to extract laser line centers based on a decision function generated to distinguish the real centers from candidate points with a high recognition rate. First, preprocessing of an image adopting a difference image method is conducted to realize image segmentation of the laser line. Second, the feature points in an integral pixel level are selected as the initiating light line centers by the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix. Third, according to the light intensity distribution of a laser line obeying a Gaussian distribution in transverse section and a constant distribution in longitudinal section, a normalized model of Hessian matrix eigenvalues for the candidate centers of the laser line is presented to balance reasonably the two eigenvalues that indicate the variation tendencies of the second-order partial derivatives of the Gaussian function and constant function, respectively. The proposed model integrates a Gaussian recognition function and a sinusoidal recognition function. The Gaussian recognition function estimates the characteristic that one eigenvalue approaches zero, and enhances the sensitivity of the decision function to that characteristic, which corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the laser line. The sinusoidal recognition function evaluates the feature that the other eigenvalue is negative with a large absolute value, making the decision function more sensitive to that feature, which is related to the transverse direction of the laser line. In the proposed model the decision function is weighted for higher values to the real centers synthetically, considering the properties in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the laser line. Moreover, this method provides a decision value from 0 to 1 for arbitrary candidate centers, which yields a normalized measure for different laser lines in different images. The normalized results of pixels close to 1 are determined to be the real centers by progressive scanning of the image columns. Finally, the zero point of a second-order Taylor expansion in the eigenvector's direction is employed to refine further the extraction results of the central points at the subpixel level. The experimental results show that the method based on this normalization model accurately extracts the coordinates of laser line centers and obtains a higher recognition rate in two group experiments.
