Effects of low temperature ($8^{\circ}C$) on the hydraulic conductivity of young roots of a chilling-sensitive (cucumber; Cucumis sativus L.) and a chilling-resistant (figleaf gourd; Cucurbita ficifolia Bouche) crop have been measured at the levels of whole root systems (root hydraulic conductivity, $Lp_r$) and of individual cortical cells (cell hydraulic conductivity, Lp). In figleaf gourd, there was a reduction only in hydrostatic $Lp_r$ but not in osmotic $Lp_r$ suggesting that the activity of water channels was not much affected by low root temperature (LRT)treatment in this species. Changes in cell Lp in response to chilling and recovery were similar asroot level, although they were more intense at the root level. Roots of figleaf gourd recovered better from LRT treatment than those of cucumber. In figleaf gourd, recovery (both at the root and cell level) often resulted in Lp and $Lp_r$ values which were even bigger than the original, i.e. there was an overshoot in hydraulic conductivity. These effects were larger forosmotic (representing the cell-to-cell passage of water) than for hydrostatic $Lp_r$. After a short term (1 d) exposure to $8\;^{\circ}C$ followed by 1 d at $20\;^{\circ}C$, hydrostatic $Lp_r$ of cucumber nearly recovered and that of figleaf gourd still remained higher due to the overshoot. On the contrary, osmotic $Lp_r$ and cell Lp in both species remained high by a factor of 3 as compared to the control, possibly due to an increased activity of water channels. After pre-conditioning of roots at LRT, increased hydraulic conductivitywas completely inhibited by $HgCl_2$ at both the root and cell levels. Different from figleaf gourd, recovery from chilling was not complete in cucumber after longer exposure to LRT. It is concluded that at LRT, both changes in the activity of aquaporins and alterations of root anatomy determine the water uptake in both species. To better understand the aquaporin function in plants under various stress conditions, we examined the transgenic Arabidopsisand tobacco plants that constitutively overexpress ArabidopsisPIP1;4 or PIP2;5 under various abiotic stress conditions. No significant differences in growth rates were found between the transgenic and wild-type plants under favorable growth conditions. By contrast, overexpression of PIP1;4 or PIP2;5 had a negative effect on seed germination and seedling growth under drought stress, whereas it had a positive effect under cold stress and no effect under salt stress. Measurement of water transport by cell pressure probe revealed that these observed phenotypes under different stress conditions were closely correlated with the ability of water transport by each aquaporin in the transgenic plants. Together, our results demonstrate that PIP-type aquaporins play roles in seed germination, seedling growth, and stress response of Arabidopsis and tobacco plants under various stress conditions, and emphasize the importance of a single aquaporin-mediated water transport in these cellular processes.

오늘날 지구온난화는 전 세계적으로 가장 주요한 문제 중 하나로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 지구온난화는 급속한 에너지 사용량의 증가에 의한 이산화탄소 발생의 증가가 가장 큰 원인이 된다. 그러므로 이에 대비하기 위해서 는 모든 영역에서 에너지 절약에 대한 노력이 필요하다. 세계의 총에너지 사용량 중 건설 활동과 건물운영에서 사용되는 에너지량이 차지하는 비율이 절반이 넘는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 건물에너지 발생량을 줄이는 것은 전체 에너지량을 절감시키는 중요한 역할을 한다. 이에 건물에너지 소비에 대한 관심의 증대와 함께 건물의 에너지 소비와 $CO_2$ 발생량을 줄이기 위해 친환경 건축물 등급 및 인증이 요구되고 있다. 건물에너지를 줄일 수 있는 여러 가지 요인 중에서 재료의 열전도율은 패시브적인 방법으로 건물에너지를 직접적으로 줄일 수 있는 가장 기본적인 요소라 할 수 있다. 특히 전통적으로 바닥 복사난방시스템을 사용하는 우리나라의 주거건물에서 바닥마감재의 열전도율은 난방에너지 효율을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 주거건물의 난방에너지 절감을 위해 건축 재료의 열전도율 측정방법을 조사하고 난방 효율 평가를 위한 축소모형을 제안하였다.

최근 들어 비파괴기술이 발달함에 따라, 콘크리트 구조물의 건전성 평가에 전자기 특성을 이용한 평가기법이 적용되고 있다. 시멘트 건설재료와 같은 절연성 재료는 고유한 유전상수 또는 전도율을 가지므로 특성화될 수 있는데, 이러한 전자기 특성은 물-시멘트비, 단위 시멘트 량과 같은 배합조건에 따라 변화하게 된다. 실내조건에 노출된 시멘트 모르타르는 일반적으로 수분에 포화되지 않으므로, 공극률이 전자기특성에 큰 영향을 미치는데, 이러한 공극률은 주로 초기재령에서 결정되어지며, 양생조건에 따라 매우 민감하게 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 4가지 종류의 물-시멘트비를 가진 시멘트 모르타르를 대상으로, 전자기 특성(유전상수, 전도율)을 광범위 대역인 0.2 GHz~20 GHz 범위에서 측정하였다. 각 시편은 배합 후 0일에서 28일까지 총 5가지의 다른 수중양생기간을 가지도록 하였으며, 28일 이후, 실내노출상태에서 전자기 특성을 측정하였다. 한편 28일 재령시, 수은압입법을 통하여 공극률을 분석하였으며, 실내상태의 수분손실을 측정하여 포화도를 평가하였다. 양생초기부터 변화하는 공극률을 평가하기 위해, 초기재령 콘크리트의 거동 평가 프로그램을 이용하여 시멘트 모르타르의 공극률 변화를 분석하였으며, 측정된 전자기 특성의 변화를 분석하였다. 전자기 특성을 영향인자(재령, 물-시멘트비)와 쉽게 비교하기 위해서, 5 GHz~20 GHz 영역의 값을 하나의 평균값으로 도출하였다. 초기재령에서 평균화된 유전상수와 전도율은 물-시멘트비의 감소에 따라서 선형으로 증가하였으며, 4주의 양생기간동안 물-시멘트비에 관계없이 양생기간의 제곱근에 비례하여 증가하였다.

Two Schiff base ligands $L_1\;and\;L_2$ were obtained by the condensation of glycylglycine respectively with imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde and indole-3-carboxaldehyde and their complexes with Zn(II) were prepared and characterized by microanalytical, conductivity measurement, IR, UV-Vis., XRD and SEM. The molar conductance measurement indicates that the Zn(II) complexes are 1:1 electrolytes. The IR data demonstrate the tetradentate binding of $L_1$ and tridentate binding of $L_2$. The XRD data show that Zn(II) complexes with $L_1\;and\;L_2$ have the crystallite sizes of 53 and 61 nm respectively. The surface morphology of the complexes was studied using SEM. The in vitro biological screening effects of the investigated compounds were tested against the bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumaniae, Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungal species Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizoctonia bataicola and Candida albicans by the disc diffusion method. A comparative study of inhibition values of the Schiff base ligands and their complexes indicates that the complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity than the free ligands. Zinc ions are proven to be essential for the growth-inhibitor effect. The extent of inhibition appeared to be strongly dependent on the initial cell density and on the growth medium.

The measurement and monitoring of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) play an important role in the planning and operation of wastewater treatment plants. The most basic method for determining biochemical oxygen demand is direct measurement. However, this method is both expensive and takes a long time. A five-day period is required to determine the biochemical oxygen demand. This study has been carried out in a wastewater treatment plant in Turkey (Hurma WWTP) in order to estimate the biochemical oxygen demand a shorter time and with a lower cost. Estimation was performed using artificial neural network (ANN) method. There are three different methods in the training of artificial neural networks, respectively, multi-layered (ML-ANN), teaching learning based algorithm (TLBO-ANN) and artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC-ANN). The input flow (Q), wastewater temperature (t), pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended sediment (SS), total phosphorus (tP), total nitrogen (tN), and electrical conductivity of wastewater (EC) are used as the input parameters to estimate the BOD. The root mean squared error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) values were used in evaluating performance criteria for each model. As a result of the general evaluation, the ML-ANN method provided the best estimation results both training and test series with 0.8924 and 0.8442 determination coefficient, respectively.

A large number of studies on the various characteristics of epoxy-layered silicate nanocomposites, such as electric and mechanical, morphology have been conducted and contributed to improve their characteristics. However, studies on the effects of its thermal conductivities in the thermal properties are not enough, even though there are some excellent evaluations for its insulation performances. Thermal properties will cause thermal degradation and significantly affect the reliability of these epoxy-layered silicate nanocomposites. In the results of the analysis of epoxy-layered silicate nanocomposites $T_g$ for various types of organoclays (10A, 15A, 20A, 30B, and 93A), it showed an excellent thermal property of 10A. Also, it represented low values in storage modulus and mechanical Tan (Delta) at a high temperature section 140$^{\circ}C$ and excellent thermal properties due to its movement to the high temperature section in the case of the property of 10A in the measurement of DMA elastics and mechanical losses. In the results of the measurement of thermal conductivities, power ultrasonic applications represented a significant increase in thermal conductivities in the case of the applications of power ultrasonic and planetary centrifugal mixers. Based on these results, it is necessary to perform related studies because it can be applied as useful materials for future power facilities applications in mold and impregnate insulation.

Measurement factors for the dielectric properties of low dielectric loss materials (tan${\dalta}{\le}10^{-4}$) were investigated using the dielectric rod resonator method. It was shown that the relative conductivity (${\sigma}_{r}$) should be controlled within a 5% to obtain the standard deviations of less than 0.07 for permittivity .epsilon.r and 0.06${\times}10^{-4}$ for tan.delta.respectively. Surface resistivity (R$_s$) could be reduced when the surface roughness of parallelled conducting plate was less than 0.07 .mu.m. Measurement error for the permittivity was $\pm$0.02% independent of probe loop size, whereas the error in Q value was reduced with the decrease in probe loop size and also with the increase in the absolute values of Q. Reliable Q values were determined with the probe loop size of less than 4mm. The accurate for the distance between the measuring probe loop and the sample could be obtained when the insertion loss of resonant frequency ranged -15dB - -30dB.

Semiconductive property of the passivating $TiO_2$ film was investigated by measuring the impedance of passivated titanium electrode in a 0.1 N NaOH solution. The passive film was prepared galvanostatically with $10mA/cm^2$ at formation potential of 50 V in a 1 N $H_2SO_4$ solution. The impedance measurement was conducted by superimposing an ac voltage of 5 m V amplitude with the frequency ranging from 5 to 10000 Hz on a dc bias (applied potential). The donor distribution in the film was depicted from the analysis of the non-linear slope of Mott-Schottky plot. The region with nearly constant concentration of donors near the electrolyte/film interface amounts at about 60 percent of the total film thickness and donor concentration increases largely with distance from the surface in an inner region near the film/metal interface. In a region of the film/metal interface the donor concentration showed a frequency dependence greater than in a region of the electrolyte/film interface. The result of donor concentration against frequency suggests a transition from crystalline to amorphous state with distance from the electrolyte/film interface in the passivating $TiO_2$ films. This is also confirmed by the ac conductivity measurement.
