Ihe purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidative effects of Rhodiola sachalinensis. Rhodiola methanol extract was fractionated sequentially with dichlorometha ne and butanol. Each Rhodiola fraction (water, MeOH, BuOH and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions) showed the potent superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and had inhibitory effects on peroxide value of linoleic acid ($40{\sim}57%$) and lipid peroxidation ($47{\sim}70%$). In $Fe^{2+}$/ascorbate system-induced rat liver microsome. Rhodiola methanol extract also recovered carbon tetrachloride-induced decrease in SOD by 42% and catalase activities by 50%, and had inhibitory effects (54%) on carbon tetrachloride-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsome. These results suggest that Rhodiola sachalinensis has the antioxidative effects.

Silk fibroin (SF) is one of the typical protein polymer produced by silkworm, Bombyx mori. SF has been used as textile fiber and surgical suture fur thousands of years due to its unique gloss, handle, and mechanical properties. Recently, SF has been intensively studied to diverse usage for biotechlological and biomedical fields because of their reproducibility, environmental compatibility, non-toxicity, and biological compatibility. Based on its biocompatibility, the possible uses of regenerated SF have been proposed including substrate for cell culture[1], enzyme immobilization[2], and matrix for drug release[3]. (omitted)

하도 상황이 수역(水域)에서 식생역(植生域)으로 변화하여 최종적으로 육역화(陸域化)단계로의 천이가 진행되는 현상을 하도 육역화라고 한다. 하도 육역화는 하천의 생태환경적 측면에서 많은 문제들을 야기할 수 있으며, 단일 단면 하도의 복단면 고착화로 하천 통수 단면이 감소하여 하도의 홍수 관리 기능에 심각한 위해 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 하도 육역화 방지를 위한 수공구조물로서 말뚝을 설치하고 그 효과를 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 검토하였다. 수치 모의는 구조물 주변의 복잡한 흐름 모의를 위하여 복잡한 지형지물이 있는 경우에 많이 활용되는 LES(Large Eddy Simulation) 난류 모델을 적용하였으며 세굴 및 퇴적 영향을 알아보기 위하여 유사 세굴(Sediment Scour) 모델을 적용하였다. 하도 육역화 방지 수공구조물의 효과 검토를 위하여 모형 수로의 제방 근처에 말뚝을 설치하고 말뚝직경, 설치 간격 및 배열 등을 변화시켜 구조물 주변의 동수역학적 거동, 흐름분리 효과 및 세굴영향을 수치모의를 통하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 말뚝에 의한 흐름 분리와 국부 세굴에 의하여 하상 퇴적이 상대적으로 감소되는 효과를 나타냈으며 설치간격이 수변으로부터 말뚝 두께의 2배 그리고 흐름방향으로 말뚝 두께의 2배 이내의 간격으로 설치하여야 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 추후 다양한 수리모형 실험을 통한 검증과 다양한 조건에 대한 수치 모의를 통하여 하도 육역화 방지 기술을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the adsorption properties of fly ash (FA)-derived zeolites A and X for the divalent cationic herbicides, paraquat and diquat. Their adsorption isotherms were well fitted to the Langmuir equation, indicating that adsorption mainly occurred on the crystal surface. FA-zeolite X showed a higher adsorption capacity than that of FA-zeolite A due to wide pore window size in spite of its low CEC. The equilibrium adsorption increased with increasing the reaction temperature because of the enhanced molecule activity and the thermal expansion of zeolite pore windows. Overall, these results demonstrated that the FA-zeolite synthesized from fly ash could be used as a low-cost mineral adsorbent for the removal of environmental cationic organic pollutants from the aqueous solution.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effect of Chungganhaeju-Tang on alcohol induced human hepatic cell apoptosis by synthesis of glutathione. Methods : The amount of glutathione in HepG2 cell was measured with colorimetric glutathione assay kit and glutathione-conjugated CDNB(1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) at $37^{\circ}C$ and then measured by spectrometry to assess the activity of glutathione S-transferase. Results : The synthesis of glutathione and the activity of glutathione S-transferase in HepG2 cell were promoted by Chungganhaeju-Tang and increased in dose/time-dependent manner. Chungganhaeju-Tang inhibited apoptosis induced by ethanol and acetaldehyde dependent to treatment dosage. In Buthione sulfoximine, a glutathione synthesis inhibitor, treated case, the synthesis of glutathione was inhibited and in Chungganhaeju-Tang treated case, the synthesis of glutathione is promoted with or without Buthione sulfoximine. The present findings suggest that Chungganhaeju-Tang inhibits alcohol induced apoptosis by synthesis of glutathione in HepG2 cell. Conclusions : The result indicates that Chungganhaeju-Tang protects human hepatic cell by glutathione synthesis and made the liver recover from alcohol induced damage.

Subcortical Aphasia is not among the typical eight types of aphasia. It is characterized as cerebral infarction or hemorrhage occurring in the region of the left basal ganglia internal capsule, accompanied with ventrical rounding and white matter. Subcortical aphasia is similar to transcortical aphasia in its symptom of repetition, and classification is difficult. Language ability can change rapidly over several months so a patient's convalescence is unpredictable. Because of the peculiarities of subcortical aphasia there are many conflicting hypotheses. Various clinical approaches and medical treatments for speech disorder(aphasia) have been presented. In Korean medicine, there are many studies about speech disorder, but few reports are related to subcortical aphasia. An aphasic stroke patient who was treated with acupuncture, herbal medicine(Jihwangumja), and speech-language therapy is here reported. Significant improvement in language abilities was seen over three months. Further clinical study of subcortical aphasia is needed.

The determination of spectrum charges for the operators is a main issue to efficiently manage the limited radio spectrum resources. In this paper, we propose a model to compute the optimal charges for radio spectrum usage. The objective is to determine that will maximize the spectrum charges, and decision variables of ratios for actual or estimated revenues are considered. The spectrum charges are maximized under satisfying the least profit for operators based on Log-Linear demand function. The parameters of actual sales and minimum profit of operators are analyzed to make an efficient management for radio spectrum. The results show that the spectrum charges increase as the actual sales increase, but it decrease as the required minimum profit of operator increases. It is also observed that the government should increase the ratio for estimated sales if anticipating the poor market in the future, otherwise they should increase the ratio for actual sales to maximize the spectrum charges.

PURPOSES : This study aims to suggest the optimal spacing between speed humps which is placed at traffic calming areas including pedestrian priority zones, school zones, and residential areas. METHODS: The study measured the operating speed of vehicles passing through two successive humps by using laser gun in 0.2 seconds interval, and analysed the basic statistical characteristics of speeds data to have an insight on the relationship between spacing and speed. Assumption was made to derive the maximum spacing within which two successive humps influence each other. RESULTS: The statistically significant model explaining the relationship between spacing and 85th percentile speed of vehicles was derived as well as the maximum spacing maintained in order to take the benefits of successive installation of humps. CONCLUSIONS: Spacing of 20 meters was suggested to achieve the widely accepted target speed of 30 km/h in traffic calming zone, and spacing of 70 meters was suggested as a maximum spacing. The comparison across the studies were made and empirical reasoning the difference of results between studies was discussed as well as the future studies.

In this study, $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ were used as an insulator layer to fabricate ReRAM devices. The resistance change is correlated to the appearance or disappearance of a conductivity filament at the surface of the GeSbTe layer. Changes in the electrical properties of ITO/GeSbTe/Ag devices were measured using a I-V-L measurement system. As a result, compared to the $ITO/Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}/Ag$ device, this $ITO/Ge_2Sb_2Te_5/Ag$ ReRAM device exhibits highly uniform bipolar resistive switching characteristics, such as the operating voltages, and the resistance values.

To analyze accurately the free vibration of a structure by using the finite element method (FEM), we model the structure as a numerical model with many degrees-of-freedom. However the FEM needs much computation time and storage in this case. The authors developed the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method (FE-TSCM) for overcoming the drawback of the FEM. In this paper, the authors apply the FE-TSCM to the in-plane free vibration analysis of plates with various shapes. Two numerical examples, a rectangular plate and a triangular plate, are used to compare the results of the FE-TSCM and the FEM. Through the numerical calculation, we confirm that the FE-TSCM can be applied to the plates with various shapes and is effective to in-plane free vibration analysis of plates.
