본 논문에서는 경남일대 동 광화대에 위치하는 삼봉광산의 함 동-연-아연-은 열수 석영맥을 대상으로 황화 광석광물의 광물학적 특성을 규명하였다. 백악기 경상 퇴적 분지의 상부 지층인 칼크-알카리 화산암류 내에 발달된 $N-S{\sim}N13^{\circ}W/65{\sim}85^{\circ}W$의 제 단층 열극면 및 압쇄대를 따라 수 개조의 평행한 함 동-연-아연-은 열수 석영맥이 0.5-1.5Km 연장 부존되어 있다. 주 광석광물은 황동석, 방연석, 섬아연석, 황철석 등이며 맥석광물은 석영, 방해석, 견운모, 녹리석 등이다. 이들 광물로 구성된 함 동-연-아연-은 석영맥 내에 있어서 부광대의 발달은 구조 규제를 받고 있으며, 수평 및 수직적 방향에 있어서 조성광물의 대상분포 현상을 보여준다. 열수광화작용은 시기적으로 3회에 걸쳐 진행되었다. 광화 제 1시기(Stage I)는 미량의 황철석과 황동광이 수반하며 제 2시기에는 황동광, 방연광, 섬아연석과 극미량의 제유화 광물을 수반하는 개발대상의 석영맥(Stage IIa and IIb)이 형성되었고, 제 3시기에는 이들 석영맥의 약석대를 따라 최후의 방해석맥 (carbonate stage)이 형성되었다. 주조성 광물과 부성분 광물(황동석, 방연석, 섬아연석, 황철석, 유비철석, 백철석, 에나자이트)을 대상으로 물리적 특성을 실험하고, 광물의 형성단계, 부성분, 결정면의 방향과의 상관성을 밝히며 금속광물의 감정을 위한 제 자료를 제시하고자 반사도와 미경도를 실험 연구하였다 광화시기에 따른 반사력의 특성은 광화작용중 열수계의 물리 화학적 환경의 변화에 따른 광물의 성분 및 구조적 차이에 기인되는 것으로 고려된다. 섬아연석의 반사력과 굴절률은 Zn을 치환하는 철 함량에 정비례하며, //(100) 결정면에서 //(111) 결정면 보다 높은 값을 보여준다. 정성, 정량적인 부성분에 의한 내부반사(백색광하)를 +니콜하에서만 보여주는 경우 섬아연석은 정상 반사력의 값을 가지나, //니콜하에서도 내부반사를 보이는 것은 매우 상이한 spectral dispersion을 나타내는데, 내부 반사광과 같은 파장($544m{\mu}$, $593m{\mu}$, $615m{\mu}$)에서 선택반사 효과는 최대가 된다. 불투명 이방성 광석광물인 황동석은 2축성(-)이다. 표준 하중별로 실시한 빅카의 미경도 실험에서, 섬아연석은 100g 하중하에서 철함량이 8.05%에까지 증가함에 따라 미경도 값이 급격히 증가하나 철 성분이 더 많으면 다시 감소하는 경향을 보여준다. 섬아연석은 //(100) 결정면에서 //(111) 결정면보다 미경도 값이 크며, 방연석 //(111), //(210), //(100)의 순으로 결정방향에 따라 미경도 값이 작아진다. 경도가 작은 유화광물 일수록 indentation의 대각선 길이의 변화폭이 크며, 실험 광물에서는 황철석 섬아연광 황동광 방연광 순으로 증가된다. 한편 모든 실험 광물은 결정방향에 따라 각각 특징적인 indentation의 형태와 단구를 갖는데, 이는 광물감정과 결정면의 방향을 규명하는데 좋은 자료가 된다.

The yerba mate that grows in the subtropical forests of South America is an evergreen tree within the Aquifoliaceae family. The yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) tea is habitually used as a drink in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Southern Brazil. A wild mate tree needs about 25 years to fully grow to 15 a height of meters; however, they only grow to a height of 3-5 meters when cultivated. The leaves are 7-11 cm long and 3-5cm wide with a serrated margin. Yerba mate tea-based beverages are made from the leaves and stems of the mate tree. It is known that they contain a rich content of antioxidants and polyphenol, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and colorants. Dyeing properties of a mate plant in the silk, wool, linen and cotton fabrics were investigated. Constituents of colorant of mate tea are chlorophyll and carotinoid; in addition, it has more minerals such as (Fe, Ca, Mn, Mg, Na, K, Zn, and Cu) than green tea. Mate tea colorants showed good affinity to silk and wool fabrics. It was found that the optimum condition for dyeing was 30 minutes for dyeing time, 7 for pH of dyebath, and at a dyeing temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. The maximum absorbance wavelength (${\lambda}_{max}$) of silk and wool fabrics dyed with mate tea were at 420-440nm; however, that of linen and cotton fabrics were at 400nm. K/S values of fabrics dyed under optimum conditions were 1.979 for silk fabrics, 1.541 for wool fabrics, 0.551 for linens and 0.465 for cotton fabrics. Munsell hue values of dyed fabrics measured 3.1Y-6.4GY for silk, 1.4Y-8.3Y for wool, 5.5Y-3.7GY for linen, and 5.3Y-1.3GY for cotton. All dyed fabrics showed hues in-between greenish yellow and greenyellow. Colorfastness to rubbing, perspiration and dry-cleaning of dyed fabrics with mate tea were very good; however, the grades of colorfastness to washing of dyed linen and cotton fabrics were poor, and colorfastness to light were poor.

The number concentrations, the mass concentrations and the elemental concentrations of $PM_{10}$ have measured at Gosan site in Jeju, Korea, from March 2010 to December 2010. And the correlation and the factor analysis for the number, the mass and the elemental concentrations of $PM_{10}$ are performed to identify their relationships and sources. The average $PM_{10}$ number concentration is observed $246\;particles/cm^3$($35.7{\sim}1,017\;particles/cm^3$) and the average $PM_{10}$ mass concentration is shown $50.1{\mu}g/m^3$($16.7{\sim}441.4{\mu}g/m^3$) during this experimental period. The number concentrations are significantly decreased with increasing particle size, hence the concentrations for the smaller particles less than $2.5{\mu}m$($PM_{2.5}$) are contributed 99.6% to the total $PM_{10}$ number concentrations. The highest concentration of the 20 elements in $PM_{10}$ determined in this study is shown by S with a mean value of $1,497ng/m^3$ and the lowest concentration of them is found by Cd with a mean value of $0.57ng/m^3$. The elements in $PM_{10}$ are evidently classified into two group based on their concentrations: In group 1, including S>Na>Al>Fe>Ca>Mg>K, the elemental mean concentrations are higher than several hundred $ng/m^3$, on the other hand, the concentrations are lower than several ten $ng/m^3$ in group 2, including Zn>Mn>Ni>Ti>Cr>Co>Cu>Mo>Sr>Ba>V>Cd. The size-separated number concentrations are shown positively correlated with the mass concentrations in overall size ranges, although their correlation coefficients, which are monotonously increased or decreased with size range, are not high. The concentrations of the elements in group 1 are shown highly correlated with the mass concentrations, but the concentrations in group 2 are shown hardly correlated with the mass concentrations. The elements originated from natural sources have been predominantly related to the mass concentrations while the elements from anthropogenic sources have mainly affected on the number concentrations of $PM_{10}$.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cell status of BOEC on development of bovine IVM/IVF embryos and gene expression in BOEC before or after culturing of embryos. The developmental rates beyond morula stage in the BOEC co-culture group was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). In particular, blastocyst production in the BOEC co-culture group (28.3%) was dramatically increased compared with the control group (7.2%). In the in vitro development of bovine IVM/IVF embryos according to cell status, the developmental rates beyond morula stage in the primary culture cell (PCC) co-culture group were the highest of all experimental groups. Expression of genes related to growth (TGF-${\beta}$ EGF and IGFBP), apoptosis (Bax, Caspase-3 and p53) and antioxidation (CuZnSOD, MnSOD, Catalase and GPx) in different status cells of BOEC for embryo culture was detected by RT-PCR. While EGF gene was detected in isolated fresh cells (IFC) and PCC, TGF-${\beta}$ and IGFBP were found in IFC or PCC after use in the embryo culture, respectively. Caspase-3 and Bax genes were detected in all experimental groups regardless of whether the BOEC was used or not used in the embryo culture. However, p53 gene was found in IFC of both conditions for embryo culture and in frozen/thawed culture cells (FPCC) after use in the embryo culture. Although antioxidant genes examined were detected in all experimental groups before using for the embryo culture, these genes were not detected after use. This study indicated that the BOEC co-culture system used for in vitro culture of bovine IVF embryos can increase the developmental rates, and cell generations and status of BOEC might affect the in vitro development of bovine embryos. The BOEC monolayer used in the embryo culture did not express the growth factors (TGF-${\beta}$ and EGF) and enzymatic antioxidant genes, thereby improving embryo development in vitro.

This study identified physical characteristics and aerosol particle sources of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ in the industrial complex of Busan Metropolitan City, Korea. Samples of $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$ and also soil, were collected in several areas during the year of 2012 to investigate elemental composition. A URG cyclone sampler was used for collection. The samples were collected according to each experimental condition, and the analysis method of SEM-EDX was used to determine the concentration of each metallic element. The comparative analysis indicated that their mass concentration ranged from 1% to 3%. The elements in the industrial region that were above 10% were Si, Al, Fe, and Ca. Those below 5% were Na, Mg, and S. The remaining elements (1% of total mass) consisted of elements such as Ni, Co, Br and Pb. Finally, a statistical tool was applied to the elemental results to identify each source for the industrial region. From a principal components analysis (SPSS, Ver 20.0) performed to analyze the possible sources of $PM_{10}$ in the industrial region, five main factors were determined. Factor 1 (Si, Al), which accounted for 15.8% of the total variance, was mostly affected by soil and dust from manufacturing facilities nearby, Factors 2 (Cu, Ni), 3 (Zn, Pb), and 4 (Mn, Fe), which also accounted for some of variance, were mainly related to iron, non-ferrous metals, and other industrial manufacturing sources. Also, five factors determined to access possible sources of $PM_{2.5}$, Factor 1 (Na, S), accounted for 13.5% of the total variance and was affected by sea-salt particles and fuel incineration sources, and Factors 2 (Ti, Mn), 3 (Pb, Cl), 4 (K, Al) also explained significant proportions of the variance. Theses factors mean that the $PM_{2.5}$ emission sources may be considered as sources of incineration, and metals, and non-ferrous manufacturing industries.

A facultative bacterium producing cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic enzymes was isolated from the rumen of a native Korean goat. The bacterium was identified as a Bacillus licheniformis on the basis of biochemical and morphological characteristics and 16S rDNA sequences, and has been designated Bacillus licheniformis JK7. Endoglucanase activities were higher than those of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and xylanase at all temperatures. Xylanase had the lowest activity among the three enzymes examined. The optimum temperature for the enzymes of Bacillus licheniformis JK7 was $70^{\circ}C$ for endoglucanase (0.75 U/ml) and $50^{\circ}C$ for ${\beta}$-glucosidase and xylanase (0.63 U/ml, 0.44 U/ml, respectively). All three enzymes were stable at a temperature range of 20 to $50^{\circ}C$. At $50^{\circ}C$, endoglucanse, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, and xylanase had 90.29, 94.80, and 88.69% residual activity, respectively. The optimal pH for the three enzymes was 5.0, at which their activity was 1.46, 1.10, and 1.08 U/ml, respectively. The activity of all three enzymes was stable in the pH range of 3.0 to 6.0. Endoglucanase activity was increased 113% by $K^+$, while $K^+$, $Zn^+$, and tween 20 enhanced ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity. Xylanase showed considerable activity even in presence of selected chemical additives, with the exception of $Mn^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$. The broad range of optimum temperatures (20 to $40^{\circ}C$) and the stability under acidic pH (4 to 6) suggest that the cellulolytic enzymes of Bacillus licheniformis JK7 may be good candidates for use in the biofuel industry.

In this study, Pseudomonas R0-14, which was isolated from Arctic soil samples, showed a clear halo when grown on M9 medium agarose plates containing olive oil-rhodamine B as substrate, suggesting that it expressed putative lipase(s). A putative lipase gene, lipR, was cloned from R0-14 by genome walking and Touchdown PCR. lipR encodes a 562-amino-acid polypeptide showing a typical α/β hydrolase structure with a catalytic triad consisting of Ser₁₅₃-Asp₂₀₂-His₂₆₀ and one α-helical lid (residues 103-113). A phylogenetic analysis revealed that LipR belongs to the lipase subfamily I.3. LipR was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and biochemically characterized. Recombinant LipR exhibited its maximum activity towards p-nitrophenyl butyrate at pH 8.5 and 60℃ with a K_m of 0.37 mM and a k_cat of 6.42 s^-1. It retained over 90% of its original activity after incubation at 50℃ for 12 h. In addition, LipR was activated by Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Sr²⁺, while strongly inhibited by Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Moreover, it showed a certain tolerance to organic solvents, including acetonitrile, isopropanol, acetone, methanol, and tert-butanol. When algal oil was hydrolyzed by LipR for 24 h, there was an enrichment of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (1.22%, 1.65-fold), docosapentaenoic acid (21.24%, 2.04-fold), and docosahexaenoic acid (36.98%, 1.33-fold), and even a certain amount of diacylglycerols was also produced. As a result, LipR has great prospect in industrial applications, especially in food and/or cosmetics applications.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among nutrient intakes, BMD, serum copper, zinc and manganese contents in Korean postmenopausal women residing in Seoul and Kyunggi-do. Nutrient intakes analyses and anthropometric measurements were performed for 64 postmenopausal women. Also, fasting blood samples were collected. The BMDs of the lumbar spine (L2-L4) and femoral neck were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Subjects were classified into three groups: osteoporosis (T-score ${\leq}$ -2.5, n = 20), osteopenia (-2.5 < T-score ${\leq}$ -1, n = 24), and normal (T-score) -1, n = 20). The results are summarized as follows; the mean age, height and weight were 62.1 yrs, 153.8 em, and 56.1 kg, respectively, with no significant difference among three groups. On the other hand, the mean BMI $(23.7\;g/m^2)$ of normal group was significantly higher than those of other two groups. The mean energy intake was 1,395.3 kcal (77.5% of Dietary referance intakes for koreans (KDRls)). The average daily intakes of vitamin $B_2$, calcium and zinc did not reach KDRIs. The mean intakes of iron, copper, zinc and manganese were 10.9 mg, 1.6 mg, 7.8 mg and 5.1 mg respectively, with no significant difference among three groups, The mean serum levels of copper, zinc and manganese were 96.4 mg/dl, 91.5 mg/dl and 39.5 ng/dl, respectively with no significant differences among three groups. The BMD of lumbar spine showed a significantly negative correlation intakes of animal protein, fat and iron intakes after adjusting for age, Bill. However, the BMD of lumbar spine was not significantly correlated with animal iron intakes after adjusting for animal protein, and fat intakes, indicating animal food intake is a possible confounding factor. Proper intakes of vitamin $B_2$, vitamin C are required to protect osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. These results suggest that excessive animal food intakes may have adverse effect on bone mineral density. Further studies arc necessary to elucidate the role of serum minerals in BMD.

본 연구에서는 마늘의 숙성 기간(15일, 30일, 60일)과 온도($60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$)를 달리한 저온숙성마늘과 생마늘의 항산화 효과를 비교 분석하였다. DPPH와 ABTS의 라디칼 소거능과 FRAP법에 의한 환원력을 측정한 결과 $250{\mu}g/mL$에서 생마늘 추출물보다 30일 $70^{\circ}C$ 추출물과 60일 $60^{\circ}C$ 추출물의 항산화 활성이 우수하였다. 세포 내 활성산소 생성은 15일 $60^{\circ}C$ 추출물과 30일 $70^{\circ}C$ 추출물에서 높은 억제 효과를 보였으며, xanthine oxidase에 대한 활성 저해 효과 역시 15일 $60^{\circ}C$ 추출물에서 우수하였다. 항산화 효소의 유전자 발현은 LPS를 처리한 군과 생마늘 추출물보다 30일 $70^{\circ}C$ 추출물에서 높은 효과를 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 저온숙성마늘이 생마늘보다 항산화 활성이 우수하다는 것을 확인함으로써 차후 항산화 건강기능식품 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되나, 저온숙성마늘 추출물의 체내 생리활성 메커니즘 규명을 위해 동물실험 등의 추가적인 연구를 계속적으로 수행할 예정이다.

한국 동해안 영일만 해역에서 퇴적물의 금속 함량과 공간 변화 특성을 연구하기 위해 총 27개의 표층 퇴적물을 채취하여, 입자조직, 유기탄소, 금속 원소들의 함량을 분석하였다. 연구해역애서 표층 퇴적물의 입도는 전반적으로 해안선 부근에서 조립하고 만의 중앙부에서 세립하며, 이러한 공간 변화는 해저지형과 반시계방향의 해류 패턴에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 유기탄소와 금속 원소들의 함량은 대부분 퇴적물의 입도 변화에 수반되어 니질 함량이 높은 만의 중앙부에서 높고 사질 함량이 높은 해안선 쪽으로 갈수록 낮아진다. 그러나 칼슘, 스트론튬, 칼륨의 함량은 조립한 퇴적물이 우세한 해안선 부근 퇴적물에서 높고, 몇몇 중금속(구리, 아연, 카드뮴) 함량 또한 유기물 함량이 매우 높은 구항과 형산강 입구의 퇴적물에서 높은 특징을 보인다. 상관관계 및 요인분석 결과에 의하면, 대부분의 금속 원소들의 함량과 공간 변화는 퇴적물의 입도에 의해 조절되는 것으로 보이나, 카드뮴, 구리 아연, 주석 등은 퇴적층의 무산소 환경에서 일어나는 지화학적 메카니즘이 이들의 함량과 공간 변화를 조절하는 일차적인 요인으로 제시된다. 약산추출 부분(labile fraction)의 함량과 농축비(concentration enrichment ratio) 연구결과에 의하면, 중금속 원소들의 존재 형태가 대부분 "sulfide minerals"와 관련된 것으로써, 이들의 형성과 축적이 일부 연구해역에서 중금속 오염의 주원인으로 제시된다. 한편, 칼슘과 스트론튬 경우에는 퇴적물에 함유된 패각 함량에 의해, 그리고 칼륨은 사질 퇴적물에 우세한 장석(feldspar) 광물에 의해 조절되는 것으로 해석된다.
