The respirometric technique has been used to analyze the nitrification process in a sequencing batch reactor(SBR) treating municipal wastewater. Especially the profile of the respiration rate very well expressed the reaction characteristics of nitrification. As the nitrification process required a significant amount of oxygen for nitrogen oxidation, the respiration rate due to nitrification was high. The maximum nitrification respiration rate, which was about $50mg\;O_2/L{\cdot}h$ under the period of sufficient nitrification, was related directly to the nitrification reaction rate and showed the nitrifiers activity. The growth rate of nitrifiers is the most critical parameter in the design of the biological nutrient removal systems. On the basis of nitrification kinetics, the maximum specific growth rate of nitrifiers in the SBR was estimated as $0.91d^{-1}$ at $20^{\circ}C$, and the active biomass of nitrifiers was calculated as 23 mg VSS/L and it was about 2% of total biomass.

혐기성 소화효율의 극대화를 위해 온도상분리 공정과 혐기성 회분식 공정을 음식물 쓰레기와 하수슬러지의 혼합기질에 적용한 온도상분리 혐기성 회분식 소화공정(TPAD-ASBR)의 거동 특성을 유기물부하의 변화에 따라 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. TPAD-ASBR 과 대조구의 첫 단에서 대부분의 메탄생성과 유기물 제거가 이루어졌으며, 단위부피당 메탄발생량은 유기물부하 2.7 g VS/L/d에서 각각 0.79와 0.59L $CH_4/L/d$ 였다. 동일 부하에서 TPAD-ASBR의 유기물 제거효율은 61%이었으며 40%의 효율을 보인 대조구에 비해 고온조를 도입한 본 공정의 우수성을 확인하였다. 국내 하수슬러지는 상대적으로 낮은 VS 농도(1.5%, w/w)와 낮은 생분해 효율을 보이는데, 이러한 부정적 특성을 보완하기 위하여 투입된 음식물쓰레기에 의한 기질 특성의 효과적인 개선으로 인해 높은 유기물 감량과 메탄회수가 가능하였다. 또한, track study를 통해 연속회분식 운전방식에 의한 settling 단계의 도입으로 SRT를 HRT보다 길게 유지하여 미처리 입자와 active biomass의 효율적이고 지속적인 접촉을 도모하여 보다 높은 안정화효율 획득이 가능한 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 혐기성소화공정에 TPAD-ASBR공정과 함께 음식물쓰레기와의 혼합소화를 도입하는 것은 처분이 까다로운 두 가지의 폐기물을 고효율로 처리함과 동시에 효율적인 에너지회수가 가능하여 경제적 운전이 가능하였다.

In this work, we describe the reduction kinetics of gold nanoparticles synthesized by plasma discharge in aqueous solutions with varied voltages and precursor (HAuCl₄) concentrations. The reduction rate of [AuCl₄]^- was determined by introducing NaBr to the gold colloidal solution synthesized by plasma discharge, serving as a catalyst in the reduction process. We observed that [AuCl₄]^- was completely reduced when its characteristic absorption peak at 380 nm disappeared, indicating the absence of [AuCl₄]^- for ligand exchange with NaBr. The reduction rate notably increased with the rise in discharge voltage, attributable to the intensified plasma generated by ionization and excitation, which in turn accelerated the reduction kinetics. Regarding precursor concentration, a lower concentration was found to retard the reduction reaction, significantly influencing the reduction kinetics due to the presence of active H⁺ and H radicals. Therefore, the production of strong plasma with high plasma density was observed to enhance the reduction kinetics, as evidenced by optical emission spectroscopy.

[Purpose] The effect of acute nitrate supplementation on muscle fatigue is largely unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of acute nitrate supplementation on muscle fatigue. [Methods] Thirty-five recreationally active subjects consumed 140 ml of beetroot (BR) juice (nitrate: 8 mmol·d^-1) or placebo (PL) 12 and 2.5 hours before two exercise sessions. Peak torque was measured during 50 repetitions, at maximal effort, and during concentric knee extensions at 90°·s^-1. Blood pressure (BP) was recorded pre- and post-exercise. [Results] Peak torque, maximum work, rate of fatigue, and rate of work fatigue were similar between the BR and PL conditions. Post-exercise diastolic BP (BR: 67.2 ± 9.8 vs. PL: 64.5 ± 7.9 mmHg, p < 0.05) and mean arterial pressure (BR: 91.6 ± 9.3 vs. PL: 88.8 ± 8.2 mmHg, p < 0.05) were higher with BR supplementation. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that the acute intake of BR juice had no effect on knee extensor muscle strength or fatigue but increased BP in a healthy recreationally active population.

This paper presents the load modeling process and bus load models for KEPCO power system. At first, load devices commonly used in KEPCO power systems were selected, and tested for measuring the voltage and frequency sensitivity of active and reactive power. From this test, about 40 voltage and frequency dependent load models have been obtained. The bus load composition rate for KEPCO power system has been determined using the various recent surveys and papers in order to develop the load model for a power system bus. To verify the accuracy of developed bus load models, the field test for measuring active and reactive power according to artificial variation of the bus voltage was performed at 8 substations for spring summer, autumn, winter cases. With data of this seasonal field test, more reliable bus load models for KEPCO power systems were developed.

포스포리파제 D(PLD)는 알코올 존재 하에서 포스파티딜 전달반응이 일어나며 동시에 PLD의 전체 반응속도도 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 포스파티딜 전달반응을 자세히 구명하기위해 본 실험에서는 양배추에서 정제한 ${\alpha}$-type PLD를 가지고 여러 종류의 알코올 존재 하에서 포스파티딜 전달반응의 반응속도를 검토하였다. 실험 결과 검토한 1차 알코올들에 의해 PLD의 포스파티딜 전달반응 속도는 기대했던 대로 크게 증가하였다. 부탄올의 경우 2차 반응속도는 $33.33{\pm}1.33M^{-1}sec^{-1}$로 얻어졌으며, 이 전달반응 속도를 물의 농도를 고려한 가수분해 속도($0.078M^{-1}sec^{-1}$)와 비교하면 무려 400배 이상의 격차를 보여주었다. 알코올의 $pK_a$과 포스파티딜 전달반응 속도와의 자유에너지 선형 관계로부터 브뢴스테드 ${\beta}_{nu}$ 값 $0.12{\pm}0.03$을 얻었다. 비교적 적은 ${\beta}_{nu}$ 값으로 미루어보아 끊어지는 포스파티딜-효소 중간체(E-P)의 전이상태는 상당히 해리된 상태일 것으로 추정된다. 이들 결과와 양배추 PLD의 활성부위의 히스티딘 잔기를 참작하여 양배추 PLD의 반응메커니즘을 제안하였다.

Temporal changes of cell growth pattern and intracellular content of $\beta$-D-glucans were investigated with off-gas data in Agaricus blazei culture where glucose was intermittently fed. It was observed that the time point of carbon source depletion coincided with the point of sudden drop in the carbon dioxide evolution rate (CER), and that the sole supplementation of glucose was not enough to maintain active cell growth and glucan content. On the other hand, when yeast extract, a typical nitrogen source, was supplemented together with glucose when the CER suddenly dropped because of carbon source depletion, an active cell growth could be maintained until the end of the culture and the glucan content did not decrease with culture time, significantly enhancing glucan productivity.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze noise exposure levels and the rate of exceedance of exposure limits in workplaces from a 2015 measurement of working environments according to area, industry, and scale of workplace and to determine changes compared to the past. Methods: Among the 408,875 measurements of noise in working environments from 27,030 workplaces in 2015, 16,359 workplaces that were linked to special health examination data were selected as the subjects of this study. The eight-hour corrected measurements and geometric mean values of the individual noise measurements of the workplaces were used to calculate noise exposure levels and the exceedance rate of exposure limits. Results: The average noise exposure level of the overall workplaces making up the subjects of this study was 83.6 dBA, and the exceedance rate of exposure limits was 15.1%. At least half of the noise measurements exceeded the exposure limits in 13.7% of the workplaces. Noise exposure levels were higher in the manufacturing industry and in smaller-scale workplaces. The exceedance rate of noise exposure limits was higher in the mining and manufacturing industries and in smaller-scale workplaces. Conclusions: Noise exposure has shown improvements compared to the past, but the exceedance rate of exposure limits was still high, and more than half of the workers were being exposed to noise of 85 dBA or higher. Therefore, it is necessary to make more active improvements in working environments in terms of noise exposure.

The stabilizing effects of $\alpha$-$\beta$-$\gamma$- and dimethyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrins $(\alpha$-, $\beta$-, $\gamma$- and DM-$\beta-$-CyDs) on the degradation of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate (HC-17B) in aqueous solution was investigated. Hc-17B underwent a facile hydroxide ion-catalyzed rearrangement to the less active 21-butyrate ester by the apparent first-order kinetics, and maximum stability of HC-17B was obtained at around pH 4.0. The stability of HC-17B was increased by inclusion complexation with $\alpha$-, $\gamma$- and DM-$\beta$-CyD in the pH range of 2.0-8.0 examined, whereas $\beta$-CyD accelerated the degradation of HC-17B at the pH higher than 5.0. The effects of ionic strength, solvent, temperature and CyD concentration were also investigated. Stability constants and apparent degradation rate constants of HC-17B-$\gamma$-CyD and HC-17B-DM-$\beta$-CyD complexes were determined kinetically on the basis of 1:1 complexation. The results suggested that the inclusion complexation with $\gamma$-CyD or DM-$\beta$-CyD was most useful means to enhance the stability of the steroid.
