  • Bisphenol A [2, 2 bis (4-hydoxyphenyl) propane; BPA] is a widely used endocrine disruptors and has estrogenic: activities. Although interests on biological effect of BPA are rising, evidences of its effect on immune system are lacking. We investigated that the effect of BPA on immune parameters to postulate the mechanism, and BPA interruptions between neuroendocrine and immune system. BPA was administrated to mice by p.o. (as a drinking water) dose on 0.015, 1.5 and 30 mg/ml for 4 weeks. The BPA treatment did not result in any change in body weight, spleen weight and distribution of lymphocyte subpopulation collected from spleen. BPA induced prolactin production in spleen, and exposure of SPA increased the activity of splenocyte proliferation in response to Con A (p<0.001). The production of a strong Th-1 type cytokine ($IFN-{\gamma}$) was induced while Th-2 type (IL-4) was suppressed by SPA treatment. These were consistent with RT-PCR results of transcription factor GATA-3 and IRF-1. These findings suggested that stimulation of prolactin production by estrogenic effects of SPA would affect cytokine profiles, and lead to imbalanced cellular immune response. In addition, we could speculate that prolactin and cytokine is important mediator involved in network between neuroendocrine and immune system by BPA.

  • 편광분석법(ellipsometry)은 대상 물질의 유전율 함수의 실수부와 허수부를 Kramers-Kronig 관계식의 도움 없이 그 물질상수를 정확히 측정할 수 있는 매우 우수한 기술이다. 이 기술의 큰 장점 중 하나는 빛의 편광상태의 변화를 이용한 비파괴적인 방법으로써 실시간 측정이 가능하며, 박막의 두께측정의 오차범위는 0.1 nm 이하로써 매우 정확하다는 것이다. 본 연구자는 이러한 우수한 측정 기술인 편광분석법을 고진공의 분자살박막증착장치(MBE) 와 결합하여 AlSb, AlP의 유전율 함수를 측정하였다. Al 계열을 포함하는 반도체 화합물은 Al의 산소친화력이 강해 대기 중에서 순수한 유전율 함수를 얻기가 불가능하다. 하지만 본 연구실에서 초고진공 상태의 MBE 챔버에서 시료를 성장시키는 동시에 실시간으로 편광분석기를 이용하여 측정하였고, 지금까지 발표된 결과들 중 가장 순수한 상태의 AlSb 유전율 함수를 얻어낼 수 있었다. 또한 순수한 AlP의 유전함수를 측정할 수 있었고, 이는 편광분석기를 이용한 최초의 실험결과로써 이차미분을 이용한 전이점 분석결과 이론적인 전자밴드구조에서 E1, E1+${\Delta}1$, E2에 해당하는 밴드갭들을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 표면의 원자배열 구조와 실시간으로 일어나는 그들의 역학적인 현상들에 관한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 surface photoabsorption (SPA)를 metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)에 장착하여 실시간 모니터링이 가능하도록 하였다. SPA를 이용하여 GaAs/AlGaAs 양자우물구조의 성장을 원자층 수준으로 실시간 모니터링을 할 수 있었다. 그리고 SPA를 이용하여 MOCVD 안에서 InP에 As가 흡착 및 탈착되는 현상을 분석하여, As의 흡착이 두 단계에 의해 이루어짐을 분석하였다. 그리고 편광분석법의 빠르고 정확한 측정 기술을 규칙적인 구조체에서 전자기파의 회절을 구할 수 있는 Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis (RCWA) 계산방법과 결합하여 나노구조의 기하학적인 모양을 정확하고 빠르게 구할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 위해 규칙적인 3차원 Si 구조체 제작하여 편광분석기로 측정하고 $SiO_2$와 표면 거칠기를 고려하여 RCWA로 분석한 결과, 규칙적인 Si 구조와 산화막 층까지 정확하게 분석할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 규칙적인 나노구조분석 연구를 넘어 불규칙적인 나노구조에 대한 분석 가능성을 보이기 위해 InAs 양자점을 증착하여 분석하였고, 이를 통해 편광분석법과 RCWA를 이용하여 불규칙적인 나노구조의 모양과 크기, 분포의 분석이 가능함을 보였다.

  • This study was conducted to optimize formulation factors of a self-dispersible floating granule of flucetoaulfuron that can be used at a low application volume (5 kg $ha^{-1}$). SPA and xanthan gum were selected as a binder because blending of them showed good granulation and floatation. Potassium chloride selected as a filler also showed good granulation, floatation and disintegration properties. Among wetters and dispersants, Surfynol 440 gave the best dispersibility The optimum granule size was determined to be 1.0 mm considering floating time and dispersibility. Flucetosulfuron was mixed with the blend of SPA and xanthan gum, potassium chloride, and Surfynol 440 and formulated as a floating self-dispersible granule at 1.0 mm in diameter. Indoor and outdoor field experiments showed that the floating granule of flucetosulfuron performed well, covering long range from the application spot up to 15 m in weed control. Therefore, this floating technology may be used for laborsaving herbicide formulation development and help to reduce workloads for herbicide application.

  • Water levels of thermal groundwater ($>30^{\circ}C$) were recorded from March 2002 to June 2006 at several monitoring wells within the Yuseong spa area. Using these data, we elucidated the long-term cyclic fluctuations of thermal groundwater levels with 1 year period. We also observed a noticeable water level variation with periods of 0.5, 1 and 7 days in most monitoring wells, which indicates relatively good hydraulic connectivity within the main hotspring area. By comparing water level variations among several wells, we found out that E-W and N-S trending geological structures should be an important control factor for emplacement and flow of thermal groundwater in the study area. It may be also inferred that geothermal source is highly associated with the hydraulic connectivity of aquifers at the Yuseong spa area.

  • Virus disease surveys of strawberries cultivated and preserved as germplasm resources in Korea was conducted during 2007-2008. Virus detection was conducted by RT-PCR using total RNAs extracted from strawberry samples. We detected the infection with Strawberry mild yellow edge virus (SMYEV), Strawberry mottle virus (SMoV), Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) and Strawberry pallidosis associated virus (SPaV) while no infection with Strawberry crinkle virus (SCV), Strawberry necrotic shock virus (SNSV), Strawberry latent ring spot virus (SLRSV) and Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) was observed. The infection rate of virus disease on 4 cultivars including Seolhyang, Maehyang, Gumhyang, and Dahong, bred in Korea, was 0.1, 1.9, 0, and 0%, respectively. Surprisingly, however, cultivar Red Peal introduced from Japan in 1997 revealed 48.3% virus infection rate. SMYEV, SMoV and SPaV were also identified in strawberries growing in the farm fields of Korea. In the field, however, SMYEV was the most predominant virus (97.4%) among those 3 identified viruses. SVBV was detected only in strawberry kept as a germplasm.

  • The objective of this study is to image the harmonic wave generated by contact acoustic nonlinearity in obliquely incident ultrasonic wave for early detection of closed cracks. A closed crack has been simulated by contacting two aluminum block specimens producing solid-solid contact interfaces and then acoustic nonlinearity has been imaged with contact pressure. Sampling phased array(SPA) and synthetic aperture focusing technique(SAFT) are used for imaging techniques. The amplitude of the fundamental frequency decreased with appling pressure. But, the amplitude of second harmonic increased with pressure and was a maximum amplitude at the simulation point of closed crack. Then, the amplitude of second harmonic decreased. As a result, harmonic imaging of contact acoustic nonlinearity is possible and it is expected to be apply for early detection of initial cracks.

  • As Gangwon-do Province needs an environmental-friendly alternative tourism according to low carbon green growth, this study analyzes specialized fields in green health industry, selects seven specialized fields in green health industry that is fit to Gangwon-do Province, and suggests a development strategy by conducting recognition surveys on preference and impotence of the specialized fields. Surveys and interviews are conducted of 106 students at Green Health Industry Education Center which is operating by Kwandong University and 84 persons who work at medical institutions and tourism related companies in Ganwondo. The surveys and interviews were completed from November 5 to November 19 in 2010, determined factors through a factor analysis when they have many questions, and analyzed by using SPSS 14.0. Out of the seven specialized fields, rest & recuperation field is highly recognized. In order to have competitive edge compared to other self-governing provinces, Ganwon-do Province should prioritize rest and recuperation field. A healthcare program in the green health industry specific to Ganwon-do Province includes hot springs and spa programs as a priority. Gangwon-do's hot springs are deemed to be competitive resources as global medical tourists prefer spa and sauna healthcare programs, while the province promotes its spring resources and builds medical tourism infrastructures. Gangwon-do Province can promote a medical tourism industry that is well suitable for the strength and characteristics of the province. It might pursue oriental medicine therapy tourism, which is related to a recuperating medical service that uses both oriental and western medicine. It can also run such programs as forest bathing (oxygen road), spring and spa, and sea water treatment, which are the specialized fields in green health industry with respect to recreation and healthcare.
