지형구조가 복잡한 자연하천에서의 오염물질의 혼합과 이송 현상을 해석하기 위해 개발된 1차원 저장대 모형은 1970년대에 처음으로 제시된 이후 하천 내 오염물질의 정체 현상의 정확한 분석을 목적으로 다양한 형태로 개선되어 왔으며, 지난 수년간 지표수 및 지하수 분야에서 오염물질의 거동 및 체류시간을 예측하는 도구로써 활발히 활용되어 왔다. 그럼에도 불구하고 1차원 저장대 모형은 복잡한 자연하천의 혼합 기작을 제한된 매개변수를 통해 단순화하기 때문에 아직 해결되지 않은 숙제가 남아 있다. 본 리뷰 논문에서는 현재까지 개발된 저장대 모형의 장·단점을 설명하고, 모형의 구조적, 비구조적 불확실성에 대한 문제를 제기하고, 이를 극복하기 위해 필요한 연구의 방향성을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과, 지속적인 정체시간분포 모델링에 대한 개선, 동수역학 해석 모형과 저장대 모형과의 결합, 그리고 추적자 실험 자료 수집 과정에서 불확도 개선을 통해 저장대 모형의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 모형의 복잡성을 증가시켜 정확도를 강화하는 방안은 지양하여야 하며, 모형 매개변수를 통한 하천의 정체특성 해석에는 수리·지형학적 근거와 추적자 실험 자료와 매개변수 추정 방식의 신뢰성이 함께 제시되어야 한다. 본 연구의 분석 결과와 제언은 저장대 모형을 통한 정밀한 하천 혼합 해석의 향후 연구에 토대가 될 것으로 기대한다.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporter family is a subfamily of SLC7 solute transporter family which includes 14-transmembrane cationic amino acid transporters and 12-transmembrane heterodimeric amino acid transporters. The members of heterodimeric amino acid transporter family are linked via a disulfide bond to single membrane spanning glycoproteins such as 4F2hc (4F2 heavy chain) and rBAT $(related\;to\;b^0,\;^+-amino\;acid\;transporter)$. Six members are associated with 4F2hc and one is linked to rBAT. Two additional members were identified as ones associated with unknown heavy chains. The members of heterodimeric amino acid transporter family exhibit diverse substrate selectivity and are expressed in variety of tissues. They play variety of physiological roles including epithelial transport of amino acids as well as the roles to provide cells in general with amino acids for cellular nutrition. The dysfunction or hyperfunction of the members of the heterodimeric amino acid transporter family are involved in some diseases and pathologic conditions. The genetic defects of the renal and intestinal transporters $b^{0,+}AT/BAT1\;(b^{0,+}-type\;amino\;acid\;transporter/b^{0,+}-type\;amino\;acid\;transporter\;1)$ and $y^+LAT1\;(y^+L-type\;amino\;acid\;transporter\;1)$ result in the amino aciduria with sever clinical symptoms such as cystinuria and lysin uric protein intolerance, respectively. LAT1 is proposed to be involved in the progression of malignant tumor. xCT (x-C-type transporter) functions to protect cells against oxidative stress, while its over-function may be damaging neurons leading to the exacerbation of brain damage after brain ischemia. Because of broad substrate selectivity, system L transporters such as LAT1 transport amino acid-related compounds including L-Dopa and function as a drug transporter. System L also interacts with some environmental toxins with amino acid-related structure such as cysteine-conjugated methylmercury. Therefore, these transporter would be candidates for drug targets based on new therapeutic strategies.

여러 오염물질 사이의 흡착 경쟁, 평형, 물질확산의 상호 연관성을 이해하는 것은 효율적인 활성탄 흡착탑 설계 및 운전을 위하여 중요하다. 흡착탑내에서의 오염물질의 확산 및 흡착 현상을 동역학적 및 수학적으로 예측하기 위하여 "Micro-Diameter-Depth Adsorption System" Technique을 개발하여 평형 및 물질확산 계수들을 측정하였다. 활성탄 입자의 외부 "Film Transfer"와 입자 내부에서의 "Surface Diffusion"을 고려한 오염 물질 사이의 흡착경쟁, 탈착, Chromatographic Displacement Effect 등을 Homogeneous Surface Diffusion Model(HSDM)을 이용하여 예측했다. p-Chlorophenol(PCP)/p-Nitrophenol(PNP)의 Breakthrough Curve에서 PCP는 PNP에 의해 Displace되는 현상을 볼 수 있었으며 HSDM은 이를 잘 예측하였다. Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS)는 흡착된 DBS의 일부분이 비가역적 흡착반응을 보인다는 가정하에서 HSDM에 의해 잘 예측될 수 있었다.

Reports of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), and personal care products (PCPs) have raised substantial concern in important potable drinking water quality issues. Our study investigates the removal of EDCs, PhACs, and PCPs of 10 compounds having different physico-chemical properties (e.g., molecular weight, and octanol-water partition coefficient ($K_{OW}$)) by nanofiltration (NF) membranes. The rejection of micropollutants by NF membranes ranged from 93.9% to 99.9% depending on solute characteristics. A batch adsorption experiments indicated that adsorption is an important mechanism for transport/removal of relatively hydrophobic compounds, and is related to the octanol-water partition coefficient values. The transport phenomenon associated with adsorption may also depend on solution water chemistry such as pH and ionic strength influencing the pKa value of compounds. In addition, it was visually seen that the retention was somewhat higher for the larger compounds based on their molecular weight. These results suggest that the NF membrane retains many organic compounds due to both hydrophobic adsorption and size exclusion mechanisms.

This study was undertaken to examine the effect of ethanol on $Na^+-dependent$ transport systems (glucose, phosphate, and dicarboxylate) in renal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Ethanol inhibited $Na^+-dependent$ uptakes of glucose, phosphate, and succinate in a dose-dependent manner, but not the uptakes of $Na^+-dependent.$ The $H^+/TEA$ antiport was reduced by 8% ethanol. Kinetic analysis showed that ethanol caused a decrease in $V_{max}$ of three transport systems, leaving $K_m$ values unchanged. Ethanol decreased phlorizin binding, which was closely correlated with the decrease in $V_{max}$ of $Na^+-glucose$ uptake. These results indicate that ethanol inhibits $Na^+-dependent$ uptakes of glucose, phosphate, and dicaboxylate and that the reduction in $V_{max}$ of $Na^+-glucose$ uptake is caused by a decrease in the number of active carrier proteins in the membrane.

In order to properly evaluate the spatio-temporal variations of groundwater flow, the data obtained in field experiments should be corroborated into numerical simulations. Particle tracking method is a simple simulation tool often employed in groundwater simulation to predict groundwater flow paths or solute transport paths. Particle tracking simulations visually show overall the particle flow path along the entire aquifer, but no previous simulation studies has yet described the parameter values at grid nodes around the particle path. Therefore, in this study, a new technical approach was proposed that enables acquisition of parameters associated with particle transport in grid nodes distributed in the center of the particle path in groundwater. Since the particle tracking path is commonly referred to as streamline, the algorithm and codes developed in this works designated streamline analysis method. The streamline analysis method can be applied in two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element or finite difference grid networks, and can be utilized not only in the groundwater field but also in all fields that perform numerical modeling.

Clonorchis sinensis is commonly found in East Asian countries. Clonorchiasis is prevalent in these countries and can lead to various clinical symptoms. In this study, we used overlap extension polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system to isolate a cDNA encoding the choline transporter of C. sinensis (CsChT). We subsequently characterized recombinant CsChT. Expression of CsChT in X. laevis oocytes enabled efficient transport of radiolabeled choline, with no detectable uptake of arginine, α-ketoglutarate, p-aminohippurate, taurocholate, and estrone sulfate. Influx and efflux experiments showed that CsChT-mediated choline uptake was time- and sodium-dependent, with no exchange properties. Concentration-dependent analyses of revealed saturable kinetics consistent with the Michaelis-Menten equation, while nonlinear regression analyses revealed a Km value of 8.3 µM and a Vmax of 61.0 pmol/oocyte/h. These findings contribute to widen our understanding of CsChT transport properties and the cascade of choline metabolisms within C. sinensis.

본 연구에서는 막 기반 수처리 기술의 핵심인 막 성능 및 특성을 혁신적으로 개선시키기 위한 새로운 형태의 막으로서 그래핀과 세라믹을 결합하는 세라믹 기반 그래핀 막(Ceramic-based graphene membrane (CbGM))을 만들고, 막에서 일어나는 물질 이동 특성을 파악하였다. 수투과 및 염 제거의 역할을 하는 활성층으로서 그래핀이 사용되었으며, 간단한 Filtration-assisted assembly (FAA) 방법을 도입하여 막을 합성하였다. 합성한 막의 표면 형태 및 특성 분석을 위해 주사전자 현미경 및 접촉각을 분석하였으며, 막 성능 및 특성 파악을 위해 3가지 용질(i.e., NaCl, $MgCl_2$, $Na_2SO_4$)을 회분식 정삼투 시스템에서 용질 이동을 측정하였다. 표면 형태 특성 분석과 물질 이동 결과를 통해, 그래핀 층의 두께 보다는, 활성층을 구성하는 그래핀 조각들 사이의 교합(Interlocking)이 막에 선택성 부여함에 있어서 가장 중요함을 확인하였다. 또한, 농도차를 구동력으로 하는 막 공정에 CbGM을 적용하였을 때, 수중의 음이온과 양이온의 최외각 전하비($Z^-/Z^+$)값이 증가할수록 용질 이동이 비례적으로 촉진되었으므로, CbGM의 표면이 양으로 하전되어 있으며, 이것이 전하된 물질의 이동에 매우 큰 영향을 끼친다는 것을 확인하였다.

A new finite difference model is developed for solute transport in a fractured medium that can consider advection, adsorption, first-order decay, and scale-dependent dispersivity of individual fractures. In the model, the dispersivity of individual fractures is employed as a variable increasing with travel distance from a source. The model is verified using an analytical solution for a single fracture. A solution from the new model is independent of the outlet boundary condition of fractures, and has little numerical dispersion error.

Previously developed empirical equations used to calculate the parameters of the transient storage model are analyzed in depth in order to evaluate their behavior in representing solute transport in the natural streams with storage zone. A comparative analysis of the existing theoretical and experimental equations used to predict parameters of the transient storage (TS) model is reported. New simplified equations for predicting 4 key parameters of the TS model using hydraulic data sets that are easily obtained in the natural streams are also developed. The weighted one-step Huber method, which is one of the nonlinear multi-regression methods, is applied to derive new parameters equation. These equations are proven to be superior in explaining mixing characteristics of natural streams with the transient storage zone more precisely than the other existing equations.
