토카막(TOKAMAK) 장치의 진공용기 및 용기내벽은 플라즈마(Plasma)에 의한 고열과 높은 에너지의 이온 입자들에 항상 노출되어 있는 환경이다. 토카막의 일종인 KSTAR장치의 진공용기는 스테인레스강(STS316)계열의 재질로 이루어져 있고, 플라즈마와 면하는 용기 벽면은 플라즈마에 대해 견딜 수 있도록 그라파이트 타일(graphite tile)로 구성되어 있다. 고에너지의 이온 입자들과 열플럭스(Heatflux)는 용기벽면과 용기를 침식시키고, 또한 이렇게 생겨난 분진(dust)들은 진공용기 내 여기저기를 떠다니게 되고, 플라즈마에 대해서 불순물로서 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 감마분석법으로 플라즈마에 의해 진공용기 내에 집적된 분진들의 구성 성분을 분석하여 주요 출처를 규명할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고, KSTAR 플라즈마의 불순물 제어에 유용하게 활용 할 수 있는 데이터를 제공하여 향후 KSTAR의 고성능 플라즈마 기술개발에 일조할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

The composition of essential oil from O. javanica was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Using the broth dilution method and disk diffusion test, anti-microbial activities of the oil fraction and its main components were evaluated against various antibiotic-susceptible and resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms. As a result of GC-MS analysis, 57 compounds, including ${\alpha}-terpinolene$ (28.1%), dl-limonene (16.0%), ${\gamma}-terpinene$ (10.3%), ${\beta}-pinene$ (9.7%) and ${\alpha}-pinene$ (6.0%) were identified in the essential oil fraction. The essential oil fraction of O. javanica and its main components exhibited significant inhibitory activities, particularly against Candida albicans (antibiotic-susceptible strains) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (antibiotic- susceptible and resistant strains). The main components of the O. javanica oil fraction displayed different patterns of activity against the three tested Candida species as exemplified by the differential minimum inhibiting concentration (MIC) values. The disk diffusion test showed that the activities were dose dependent.

In order to understand the characteristics of sedimentary environments in Ulleung Basin of the East Sea (Sea of Japan), three sediment cores were taken with a box corer during R/V Tamyang cruise in October 1999. Activities of $^{7}Be,{\;}^{210}Pb,{\;}^{226}Ra,{\;}^{234}Th,{\;}^{238}{\;}and{\;}^{137}Cs$ in sediment samples were determined by non-destructive gamma-ray spectrometry. Rates of sedimentation and particle mixing were estimated by best fitting an advection­diffusion particle mixing model to the data of $^{7}Be,{\;}^{234}Th,{\;}and{\;}^{210}Pb$. Estimated sedimentation rates were 0.06-0.08 cm/yr and particle mixing rates were $0.13-0.65{\;}\textrm{cm}^2/yr$. The use of multiple tracers in our study prevented us from probable up to 38% overestimation of sedimentation rates.

This paper reports on the state-of-the-art of the main non-destructive assay (NDA) techniques usually used for in-situ radiological characterization of nuclear facilities subject to a decommissioning programme. For the sake of clarity and coherence, they have been classified as environmental radiation monitoring, surface contamination measurements, gamma spectrometry, passive neutron counting and radiation cameras. Particular mention is also made here to the various challenges that each of these techniques must currently overcome, together with the formulation of some proposals for a potential evolution in the future.

프로페인($C_3H_8$)의 건식 개질($CO_2$ 개질)을 통한 합성 가스($H_2$와 CO 혼합물) 제조를 위해 $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 충진된 유전체 장벽 방전 플라즈마 반응기를 사용하였다. 열 또는 플라즈마에 의해 환원된 $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 사용하여 $C_3H_8/CO_2$ 비율 1/3, 총 유량 $300mL\;min^{-1}$에서 플라즈마-촉매 건식 개질을 수행하였다. 건식 개질에 대한 촉매 활성은 온도범위 $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$에서 평가되었다. $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매 제조를 위해 전구물질 수용액(질산니켈, 질산세륨)으로 함침된 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$를 공기 분위기에서 소성시킨 후, $H_2/Ar$ 분위기에서 환원시켰다. 촉매 특성 조사에는 X-선 회절분석기(XRD), 투과전자현미경(TEM), 전계 방출 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM), 승온 탈착($H_2-TPD$, $CO_2-TPD$) 및 라만 분광기가 이용되었다. 열로 환원된 촉매와 비교하면 플라즈마 방전하에서 환원된 $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 개질 반응을 통한 합성 가스 생산에서 보다 우수한 촉매 활성을 나타내었다. 또한, 플라즈마로 환원된 $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$가 개질 반응의 문제점인 탄소퇴적 관점에서 장기 촉매 안정성을 보여주었다.

Selenium(Se)은 사람에게 필수성분이지만 독성이 강한 물질이다. 따라서 생체에서 Se(셀레늄)의 농도조절은 정확하고 효율적으로 이루어져야 한다. 사람은 Se을 음식의 형태로 섭취해야 하고 주로 seleno-L-methionine (L-SeMet)의 형태로 섭취한다. 섭취된 L-SeMet은 methionine 대사와 동일한 효소를 이용하여 Se-adenosyl-L-SeMet으로 대사된다고 알려져 있었다. 그러나 최근 쥐의 간 추출물의 실험에서, L-SeMet이 cystathionine ${\gamma}$-lyase (mouse CGL)의 작용으로 methylselenol ($CH_3SeH$)로 직접적으로 대사된다는 보고가 있었다. CGL은 원래 cystathionine을 L-cysteine과 ${\alpha}$-ketobutyrate, 그리고 $NH_3$로 분해하는 효소로 알려져 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 쥐의 간 추출물 대신에 인간의 CGL을 분리 정제하여 L-SeMet에서 methylselenol의 형성을 확인하고자 하였다. Methylselenol의 표준시료는 dimethyldiselenide를 sodium tetrahydroborate로 환원시켜 준비하였다. 그리고 L-SeMet을 기질로 사용한 효소 반응액 중에서 가스상의 생성물은 GC/MS 스펙트럼으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 methylselenol의 유도체인 dinitrophenyl selenoether와 일치하였다. 또한 인간 CGL이 L-SeMet에서 methylselenol을 형성하는 반응의 kinetic parameter를 mouse CGL과 비교 분석하였다. 결과적으로 human CGL은 섭취된 L-SeMet의 대사를 책임지고 있는 중요한 효소이다.

Gabapentin, 1-(aminomethyl-1-cyclohexyl)acetic acid, is anew antiepileptic drug related to ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid(GABA) currently being introduced in therapy worldwide. The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of gabapentin capsules were examined in 22 volunteers who received a single oral dose in the fasting state by randomized balanced $2{\times}2$ crossover design. After dosing, blood samples were collected for a period of 24 hours and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Time course of plasma gabapentin concentration was analyzed with non-compartmental and compartmental approaches. $WinNonlin^{(R)}$, the kinetic computer program, was used for compartmental analysis. One compartment model with first-order input, first-order output with no lag time and weighting by $1/(predieted\;y)^2$ was chosen as the most appropriate pharmacokinetic model for the volunteers. The major pharmacokinetic parameters $(AUC_{0-24hr},\;AUC_{inf},\;C_{max}\;and\;T_{max})$ and other parameters $(K_a,\;K_{el},\;V_d/F\;and\;Cl/F)$ of $Gapentin^{TM}$ (test drug) and $Neurontin^{TM}$ (reference drug) were estimated by non-compartmental analysis and compartmental analysis. The 90% confidence intervals of mean difference of logarithmic transformed $AUC_{0-24hr}\;and\;C_{max}$ were $log(0.9106){\sim}log(1.l254)\;and\;log(0.8521){\sim}log(1.0505)$, respectively. It shows that the bioavailability of the test drug is equivalent with that of the reference drug. There was no statistically significant difference between the two drugs in all pharmacokinetic parameters.

A major polyphenolic compound extracted from omija (Schisandra chinensis) fruit was structurally identified, and its composition of major nutrients was investigated as well in this study. A dominating high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) peak of water-extracted anthocyanin represented 94.1% of total absorbable compounds at 520 nm, which was further identified with HPLC-mass spectrometry (MS). As a result, mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the predominant anthocyanin was determined to be 727, and it was identical to molecular mass of cyanidin-3-xylosylrutinoside (Cya-3-O-xylrut). This is the first report that colorant of omija is predominantly composed of Cya-3-O-xylrut. Omija fruit contained exclusively 3 types of monosaccharide such as glucosc (0.68 g), galactose (0.01 g), and fructose (0.52 g) per 100 g of fruits. Several organic acids, citric (3.29 g), malic (1.4 g), acetic (0.4 g), and succinic acids (0.36 g) per 100 g of fruits, were detected by high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) analysis. During the compositional analysis of tree amino acid by HPLC, it was noticed that omija fruit contained substantial amount (0.01 g/100 g of fruits) of $\gamma$-amino butyric acid (GABA).

In the current steel structures of high-rise buildings, high heat input welding techniques are used to improve productivity in the construction industry. Under the high heat input welding, however, the microstructures of the weld metal (WM) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) coarsen, resulting in the deterioration of impact toughness. This study focuses mainly on the effects of fine TiN precipitates dispersed in steel plates and B addition in welding materials on grain refinement of the HAZ microstructure under submerged arc welding (SAW) with a high heat input of 200 kJ/cm. The study reveals that, different from that in conventional steel, the ${\gamma}$ grain coarsening is notably retarded in the coarse grain HAZ (CGHAZ) of a newly developed steel with TiN precipitates below 70 nm in size even under the high heat input welding, and the refinement of HAZ microstructure is confirmed to have improved impact toughness. Furthermore, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analyses demonstrate that B is was identified at the interface of TiN in CGHAZ. It is likely that B atoms in the WM are diffused to CGHAZ and are segregated at the outer part of undissolved TiN, which contributes partly to a further grain refinement, and consequently, improved mechanical properties are achieved.

본 연구는 호두를 대상으로 감마선을 1-10 kGy 선량으로 조사시켜 생성된 hydrocarbon류와 2-alkylcyclobutanone류를 통해 방사선 조사여부를 확인하였다. 지방은 soxhlet방법으로 n-hexane을 추출용매로 사용하였고 florisil이 충진된 column으로 분리하여 gas chromatography / mass spectrometry(GC/MS)로 확인하였다. 감마선 조사된 호두에서 검출된 주요 hydrocarbon류는 oleic acid에서 유도된 8-heptadecene과 linoleic acid에서 유도된 8,11-Heptadecadiene, 1,7,10-Hexadecatriene이었고, 검출된 주요 2-alkylcyclobutanone류는 linoleic acid와 oleic acid에서 유도된 2-(5',8'-tetradecadienyl)cyclobutanone(5',8'-TCB), 2-(5'-tetradecenyl) cyclobutanone(TECB)가 가장 높은 함량으로 확인되었다. 조사된 호두에서 생성된hydrocarbon류와 2-alkylcyclobutanone류의 생성량은 선량에 비례하여 증가하였으며, 이 화합물들은 1 kGy 이상 조사된 시료에서만 나타났으며 비조사 시료에서는 확인되지 않았다. 따라서 방사선 조사에 의해 oleic acid과 linoleic acid에서 유도된 hydrocarbon류 중 8-heptadecene, 8,11-Heptadecadiene 및 1,7,10-Hexadecatriene, 2-alkylcyclobutanone류 중 5',8'-TCB 및 TECB는 감마선 조사 여부의 확인을 위한 marker로서 활용가능성이 높게 나타났다.
