Mesophilically-grown granular sludge seeded in thermophilic UASB reactor was monitored to better understand the start-up process of the reactor. The reactor was fed with a synthetic wastewater containing glucose. As COD loading rate increased stepwise, methane production rate increased. Maximum values of COD removal efficiency (95%) and methane production rate (5.3 l/day) were achieved by approximately day-80 and remained constant afterward. However, physicochemical and microbial properties of granules kept changing even after day-80. Specific methanogenic activity (SMA) was initially negligible, and increased continuously until day-153 and remained constant afterward, showing the maximum value of $1.51{\pm}0.13\;g\;CH_4-COD/g$ VSS/day. Deteriorated settling ability of granules recovered the initial value by day-98 and was maintained afterward, as determined by sludge volume index. Initially reduced granule size increased until day-126, reaching a plateau of 1.1 mm. Combined use of fluorescence in situ hybridization and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) allowed to localize families of Methanosaetaceae and Merhanosarcinaceae in granules with time Quantitative analyses of CLSM images of granule sections showed abundance patterns of the methanogens and numerical dominance of Methanosaeta spp. throughout the start-up period. The trend of SMA agreed well with abundance patterns of the methanogens.

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor can be effective for treating simple organic compounds containing high concentration of ammonia nitrogen. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency was about 80% at ammonia nitrogen concentration up to 6,000 mg-N/L. This result also showed that it would be possible to treat propionate effectively at free ammonia nitrogen concentration up to 724 mg-N/L if sufficient time was allowed for adaptation. However the specific methanogenic activity (SMA) of granule was lower than that of granule in the reactor with lower ammonia nitrogen concentration. At 8,000 mg-N/L, the inhibition of high ammonia concentration was observed with evidence of increase of the volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentration in the effluent. It might be ascribed to the decrease in the content of extracellular polymer (ECP), which resulted to the sloughing off of obligated proton-reducing acetogens and heterogenotrophic methanogens from the exterior of granular sludge. This caused a great portion of the finely sludge to be easily washed out. Therefore, failure to maintain the balance between these two groups of microorganism cause accumulation of the hydrogen partial pressure in the reactor, which could have inhibited the growth of acetate utilizing methanogens.

Severe bacterial infections are frequently accompanied by depressed neutrophil functions. Thus, agents that increase the microbicidal activity of neutrophils could add to a direct antimicrobial therapy. Lysophosphatidylcholine augments neutrophil bactericidal activity via the glycine (Gly)/glycine receptor (GlyR) α2/TRPM2/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. However, the direct effect of glycine on neutrophil bactericidal activity was not reported. In this study, the effect of glycine on neutrophil bactericidal activity was examined. Glycine augmented bactericidal activity of human neutrophils (EC₅₀ = 238 μM) in a strychnine (a GlyR antagonist)-sensitive manner. Glycine augmented bacterial clearance in mice, which was also blocked by strychnine (0.4 mg/kg, s.c.). Glycine enhanced NADPH oxidase-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and TRPM2-mediated [Ca²⁺]_i increase in neutrophils that had taken up E. coli. Glycine augmented Lucifer yellow uptake (fluid-phase pinocytosis) and azurophil granule-phagosome fusion in neutrophils that had taken up E. coli in an SB203580 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor)-sensitive manner. These findings indicate that glycine augments neutrophil microbicidal activity by enhancing azurophil granule-phagosome fusion via the GlyRα2/ROS/calcium/p38 MAPK pathway. We suggest that glycine could be a useful agent for increasing neutrophil bacterial clearance.

The accumulated knowledge of the influence of solar granulation on spectral lines, i.e. their asymmetry, provides a key to analyze stellar spectral line asymmetries. In this paper, a simple line synthesis using a simple 'model' of granulation was calculated. By adjusting the properties of the granule model, the observed imprints of convection on spectral lines can be reproduced. Since we depict convective flows using a continuous function rather than using a few components of flows (cf. Gray and Toner 1985, 1986; dravins 1990), we were able to identify which components of convection are important in line bisector shapes. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the intensity contrast (i.e. temperature fluctuation), and the area coverage of up- and down-flows are the two important factors which determine the line bisector shapes. Secondly, on the contrary to the assumption of other studies, the effect of horizontal flows is non-negligible. This exercise provides a qualitative understanding of the effect of convection on spectral lines. This knowledge serves as a guideline for understanding the characteristic difference in convection for stars on either side of the 'Granulation Boundary' (Gray 1982; Gray and Nagel 1989).

Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) bacteria is recently discovered microorganism which can oxidize ammonium to nitrogen gas in the presence of nitrite under anaerobic conditions. The anammox process can save an energy for nitrification and need not require a carbon source for denitrification, however, the start-up periods takes a long time more than several months due to the long doubling time (approximately 11 days). In order to find the effects of seeding microorganisms, hydrazine, and nitrite concentration on the enhancement of the anammox activity, five kinds of microorganisms were selected. Among the several kinds of seeding microorganisms, the granule from acclimated microorganisms treating high concentration of ammonia nitrogen (A-1) and sludge from piggery wastewater treatment plant (A-2) were found to have a high anammox activity. In the case of A-1, the maximum nitrogen conversion rate represented 0.4 mg N/L-hr, and the amount of nitrite utilization was high compared to those of other seeding microorganisms. The A-4 represented a higher nitrogen conversion rate to 0.7 mg N/L-hr although the ammonium concentration in the serum bottle was high as 200 mg/L. Meanwhile, the anaerobic granule from UASB reactor treating distillery wastewater showed a low anammox activity due to the denitrification by the remained carbon sources in the granule. Hydrazine, intermediate product in anammox reaction, enhanced the anammox activity by representing 1.4 times of nitrogen gas was produced in the test bottle than that of control, when 0.4 mM of $N_2H_4$ was added to serum bottle which contains 5 mM of nitrite. The high concentration of nitrite (10 mM) resulted in the decrease of the anammox activity by showing lower production of nitrogen gas compared to that of 5 mM addition of nitrite concentration. As a result of FISH (Florescence In-Situ Hybridization) experiment, the Amx820 probe showed a more than 13% of anammox bacteria in a granule (A-1).

상온진공과립분사에 의해 slide glass 기판 위에 $1{\sim}30{\mu}m$의 두께를 가진 $TiO_2$ 코팅층을 제조하였다. $TiO_2$ granule 과립분말은 $1.5{\mu}m$의 평균 입도를 가진 Rutile 형태로 $600^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 하소 과정을 거쳤다. 공정변수로서는 반복횟수, 가스유량속도 및 과립투입속도로 하여 코팅층을 제조하였다. 반복횟수가 증가할수록 코팅층의 두께는 비례적으로 증가하였다. 이는 반복횟수의 증가에도 코팅층이 형성될 수 있는 적절한 운동에너지가 작용한 것을 알 수 있다. 가스유량속도에 따라 코팅층의 두께도 증가하였으나 1.7 V의 분말공급량에서는 25 LPM의 유량까지는 코팅층의 두께가 증가했지만, 35 LPM(L/min)의 유량에서는 두께가 감소하였다. 15 LPM의 낮은 유량속도에서는 분말공급량이 충분하더라도 성막에 필요한 운동에너지의 부족으로 코팅 층의 두께가 비례적으로 증가하지 않았다. $TiO_2$ 코팅층의 미세구조는 주사전자현미경 및 고성능 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 분석하였다.

알갱이 군에 형성되는 무더기 현상을 이해하기 위하여, 좁쌀, 모래, 은박 원판 등의 알갱이 군에 대하여 수직진동 및 회전진동을 적용하여 이들의 움직임을 조사하였다. 수직진동의 경우, Gerner의 연구처럼 무더기가 형성되었으나, 알갱이 무게와 관계없이 좁쌀, 모래, 은박원판의 무더기가 순으로 형성되었고, 은박원판의 무더기는 좁쌀과 모래에 비해 훨씬 복잡하게 나타났다. 또 회전진동의 경우, 알갱이는 용기 벽과 중력 및 알갱이 끼리 탄성 밀리기에 의해 중앙부위가 위로 솟아오르는 현상이 나타났으며, 회전진동 진폭이 큰 경우엔 나선형 문양이 나타나기도 했다. 이는 알갱이 군에 원심력, 알갱이 간 인력 및 세차운동 등이 가해지면, 무더기 현상이 지연되거나 더 난잡해짐을 의미한다. 이러한 사실로부터 화공재료 등의 알갱이의 무더기 현상은 용기의 진동 특성뿐 아니라 알갱이 간 인력의 유무에 따라서도 결정됨을 알 수 있다.

수용해도가 2.53ppm인 KC-6620을 수중용출기간이 20일 정도인 입제로 제제하기 위하여 원제에 대한 용출지연효과가 가장 큰 다공성 증량제를 선발하고, PEG를 부제로 첨가한 흡착식 입제를 제제하여 실내에서 수중용출속도를 측정하였다. 1. 다공성 증량제중 KC-6620에 대하여 용출지연효과를 나타낸 것은 bentonite 소결공립이었으나 수중에 침적 20일후의 용출율이 매우 낮았다. 2. Bentonite에 pyrophyllite를 혼합하고 조립한 다음 소결시킴으로써 흡유가가 증가하였으며, 이 공립으로 제제한 KC-6620 입제의 수중용출속도도 증가하였다 BP60 입제의 경우 침적 20일후에 85% 이상의 용출율을 보여 시험한 입제중 단기용출지연제제로 가장 적합하였다. 3. BP입제는 PEG를 부제로 첨가하여 용출속도를 증가시킬 수 있었으며, PEG의 첨가비가 공립의 흡유가까지 증가할수록 용출속도도 증가하였다. 4. BP40 입제는 입제중의 유효성분함량이 높을수록 수중용출속도가 느려져서 제제농도가 용출속도를 좌우하는 가장 큰 요인이었다.
