This study exploits the robot system which is necessary in gene study and bio-technology industry. As well, a DNA chip, which of use has been increased recently, can be manufactured with this system. The robot consists of a device spotting DNA on the silylated slide, a well plate, a bed for fixing well plates, devices of washing and drying the pin in DNA spotting .device, a distillation-water vessel, and a discharge vessel of wash water. We made the period of sticking DNA to the pin on the well plate to be 15 seconds. The spot size of DNA was set to be 0.28 mm on the average by bringing the slide into contact with pin during 1 second. If DNA is spotted in minimum space possible about 0.32mm, this system can stick about 8,100 DNA spots on the well plate with this rate. Analyzing the procedure: Movement starts, Pin washes, dries, and smears DNA on the well plate. Spotting DNA onto 12 chips took 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

A determination method of trace Ni(II) and Zn(II) in aqueous solution was studied and developed by adsorbing on titanium dioxide. For this purpose, several conditions were optimized such as the pH of sample solution, adsorption time, the types and concentration acid, and desorption time. The titanium dioxide was added in sample solution which was pH adjusted. Then, the sample solution was stirred for 5 minutes. This mixture was stored in room temperature for 30 minutes to allow adsorption. After filtering and washing the titanium dioxide, the analytes were dissolved from the titanium dioxide on membrane filter by an ultrasonic vibration for 10 minutes in 1.0 M $HNO_3$ solution. Then, this sample solution was analysed using ICP-AES. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 30 minutes. The desorption was the most of effective with 1.0 M(mol/l) nitric acid solution, and desorption time was 10 minutes. This procedure was applied for the analysis of two real samples, i.e., brown seaweed and tangle. The recoveries of Ni(II) and Zn(II) in spiked samples were 89.4${\sim}$98.9% for analytes.

An improved procedure for the rapid purification of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was developed by using affinity chromatography. Among six affinty media tested, NADP$^{+}$-agarose and Affi-gel Blue were more effective than others (i.e., Affi-gel Red, AMP-agarose, ATP-agarose, and NAD$^{+}$-agarose). Conditions to desorb the enzyme bound to the affinity media were examined to increase the purity as well as yield. The best result was obtained when the column was developed with a linear gradient of KCl (0-1.0M). In case of Affi-gel Blue, introduction of NAD$^{+}$ (15mM) washing step prior to the salt gradient was most effective to remove NAD$^{+}$-binding proteins. For a large scale preparation of G-6-P dehydrogenase higher recovery was obtained by Affi-gel Blue than NADP$^{+}$-agarose, however, the purity of the enzyme was decreased by 10 times if the former was used as the affinity medium. The capacity of Affi-gel Blue for G-6-P dehydrogenase was found to be 5 times higher than that of NADP$^{+}$-agarose. Furthermore Affi-gel Blue could be reused repeatedly and its preparation is relatively easier and less expensive than NADP$^{+}$-agarose.X> +/-agarose.

케이크 여과에서 케이크에 대한 정의가 아직 마련되어 있지 않다. 특히 침전된 플럭(floc)의 여과에서는 케이크를 전혀 정의하지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 '여과-투과(filtration-permeation)' 실험을 사용하여 모든 경우의 케이크를 명확히 정의하였다. 이 케이크의 정의에 대한 고찰을 통해 케이크 여과에 의해 이룩될 수 있는 케이크 함수량의 한계에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 여과에 의해 형성된 케이크의 수분 함량을 줄이기 위한 압착조작(expression) 과정을 '고액분리 통합이론'으로 계산하고 실제 압착조작 데이터와 비교하였다. 여과와 압착조작 전체를 분석하여, 압착의 중요성을 검토했다. 그리고 회분식으로 조작되는 필터 프레스의 케이크 배출과 세척시간을 포함하여 가장 효율적인 조작조건을 계산하는 방법을 제안하였다.

An upflow BAF(Biological Aerated Filter) equipped with an expanded clay media was applied to reuse weaving wastewater of water jet loom. The performance of lab-scale biofilter was investigated by the adjustment of EBCTs(Empty Bed Contact Time) and the packing ratio of media, which were changed 1.1 to 3.7hr and 38 to 63%, respectively. In most conditions except 1.1hr of EBCT, BOD, CODcr, SS and Turbidity of the effluent were 1~4mg/L, 7~16mg/L, 1~5mg/L and 5~14NTU, where their removal efficiencies were 76~95%, 82~93%, 63~94% and 59~81%, respectively. From the observation of SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) photographs of porous clay media, it was revealed that this media provided good performance of retaining microbes effectively. In addition, $0.44~0.49kgVSS/kgBOD_{rem}$. of low sludge reduction was expected. The most efficient back washing cycle and procedure were once per 4 to 9 days and air including collapse-pulsing method, respectively. Therefore, this system can be of use as an weaving wastewater treatment for reuse.

This study has examined the removal of mixed soil of protein and fat by protease. Cotton and PET fabrics were soiled by spotting of hemoglobin and triolein, respectively. The soiling order and soil concentration were changed in this procedure. The soiled fabrics were aged at 130℃ for 20 minutes. Protease was added in the alcohol ethoxylate(AE) detergent solution. The removal effciency was evaluated by analysis of protein and/or fat on the fabrics before and after washing, respectively. The detergency of PET fabrics was higher than that of cotton fabrics. The removal efficiency of hemoglobin was improved by protease from cotton and PET fabrics. Especially the removal efficiency of hemoglobin was remarkably improved from cotton fabrics. With the increase of hemoglobin and triolein (1:1) mixed soil, the removal of mixed soil was increased in proportion to mixed soil content up to a certain point. but it began to decrease above the point from cotton fabrics, while it was generally increased from PET fabrics. The detergency of total mixed soil from cotton fabrics was higher in case of soiling order with triolein after hemoglobin than in case of soiling order with triolein before hemoglobin. But the soiling order was not greatly effected in the detergency of total mixed soil from PET fabrics.

In general, the line balancing problem is defined as of finding an assignment of the given jobs to the workstations under the precedence constraints given to the set of jobs. Usually, the objective is either minimizing the cycle time under the given number of workstations or minimizing the number of workstations under the given cycle time. In this paper, we present a new type of an assembly line balancing problem which occurs in an electronics company manufacturing home appliances. The main difference of the problem compared to the general line balancing problem lies in the structure of the precedence given to the set of jobs. In the problem, the set of jobs is partitioned into two disjoint subjects. One is called the set of fixed jobs and the other, the set of floating jobs. The fixed jobs should be processed in the linear order and some pair of the jobs should not be assigned to the same workstations. Whereas, to each floating job, a set of ranges is given. The range is given in terms of two fixed jobs and it means that the floating job can be processed after the first job is processed and before the second job is processed. There can be more than one range associated to a floating job. We present a procedure to find an approximate solution to the problem. The procedure consists of two major parts. One is to find the assignment of the floating jobs under the given (feasible) assignment of the fixed jobs. The problem can be viewed as a constrained bin packing problem. The other is to find the assignment of the whole jobs under the given linear precedence on the set of the floating jobs. First problem is NP-hard and we devise a heuristic procedure to the problem based on the transportation problem and matching problem. The second problem can be solved in polynomial time by the shortest path method. The algorithm works in iterative manner. One step is composed of two phases. In the first phase, we solve the constrained bin packing problem. In the second phase, the shortest path problem is solved using the phase 1 result. The result of the phase 2 is used as an input to the phase 1 problem at the next step. We test the proposed algorithm on the set of real data found in the washing machine assembly line.

외국의 경우 게놈 연구 및 바이오산업에 DNA 칩을 제작할 수 있는 로봇 시스템을 싼 가격에 사용하고 있으나 우리나라의 경우 자동화 시스템을 비싼 가격에 외국에서 도입하여 사용하기 때문에 바이오산업 및 연구 분야에서의 생산비를 높이게 돼 국내외적으로 생명공학의 경쟁력을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 유전체 연구에 필수적인 DNA 칩 제작을 위한 연구용 pin 타입 microarrayer를 개발하였으며, 그 구체적인 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구에서는 DNA칩 제작을 위한 연구용 pin 타입 microarrayer를 개발하였으며 3축 직교좌표형 로봇 본체, DNA를 묻혀 silylated 슬라이드에 점착하는 DNA 점착 헤드, 칩 및 웰 플레이트 고정부, 핀을 세척 및 건조하는 세척 및 건조장치 등으로 시스템을 구성하였다. 2. DNA 점착 헤드는 DNA 점착시 제도용 펜촉을 사용하도록 설계, 제작하였으며, 슬라이드에 DNA를 점착할 때는 핀이 일정한 힘으로 슬라이드를 누르며 점착할 수 있도록 자석의 반발력을 이용하였다. 3. DNA 점착 헤드 핀의 세척을 위하여 증류수 분사 및 진동 브러쉬를 이용하였으며 세척실험 결과, 핀을 1mm/s로 이동시키며 브러쉬를 통과하도록 하는 방법이 세척효과가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 핀 건조실험결과는 $8.5kg_f/cm^2$의 압축공기를 30초 동안 핀에 분사하였을 때 핀이 건조되는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 본 로봇 시스템을 이용하여 DNA를 12장의 슬라이드에 모두 점착시키기 위하여 웰 플레이트에서 핀이 DNA를 묻히는 실험을 실시한 결과, 10초 이상 핀에 DNA를 묻혔을 때 슬라이드 12장을 모두 찍는 것으로 나타났으며, 슬라이드에 핀이 1초간 접촉할 때의 DNA 스팟의 크기는 평균$280{\mu}$ 가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 최소 점 간격을 0.32mm로 설정한 후 DNA를 점착해 본 결과 최대 8,100여 점의 DNA 스팟을 한 슬라이드에 점착할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 본 로봇 시스템은 12장의 동일 DNA 칩을 생성하기 위해 핀의 세척, 건조, DNA를 묻히는 과정 및 DNA 점착 등의 한 과정을 2분 50초 동안 수행할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

연구배경 : Ikeda에 의해 임상에 도입된 굴곡성 기관지경은 각종 폐 질환의 진단과 치료에 광범위하게 이용되고 있으며 시술 증례도 증가하고 있으나 외국에서는 결핵균, 비결핵항산균 및 여러 세균들에 의한 기관지경의 교차오염예가 다수 보고되고 있으므로 기관지경의 세척과 소독방법에 대해 주의를 기울여야 한다. 방법 : 1991년 11월부터 1992년 5월 까지 기관지내시경을 시행한 예중에서 기관지세척액에서 비결핵항산균이 배양된 예들을 분석하고 본원에서 화학살균제로 사용하고 있는 2% alkaline glutaraldehyde의 살균작용을 평가하기 위하여 실험실내에서 2% alkaline glutaraldehyde와 비결핵항산균 및 세균을 접촉시킨후 균의 사멸 여부를 알아 보았다. 결과 : 2% glutaraldehyde 소독제 용액에 비결핵항산균은 2% glutaraldehyde 1:1 용액으로 30분간 접촉한 후 균이 자라지 않았으며 그 밖의 세균들은 접촉 바로 후에 자라지 않았다. 위발생 인지후 철저한 기계적 세척과 함께 세척기내에서 30분이상 2% glutaraldehyde에 담가둔 이후로는 위양성이 발생하지 않았다. 결론 : 기관지경 사용후 기계적 세척을 철저히 하는 것이 중요하며 2% glutaraldehyde 용액으로 소독시 비결핵항산균의 소멸을 기대하려면 적어도 30분 이상 접촉이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 감염조절 방법을 엄격하게 적용한다 하더라도 오염을 완전히 배제할 수 없으므로, 일반적으로 비병원균으로 알려진 균들이 비통상적으로 갑자가 높은율로 검출되면 위발생을 생각하여야 한다.
