  • The microstructure of polymer membranes produced via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) of polymer solutions is a strong function of both the early-stage (by spinodal decomposition or nucleation & growth) and the late-stage phase separation (referred to in general as coarsening). In the case of early stage effects, the membrane morphology resulting from a nucleation & growth mechanism is either a poorly interconnecsed, stringy, beady structure which is mechanically fragile or a well interconnected structure with highly nonuniform pore sizes. In contrast, spinodal decomposition results in a well interconnected, mechanically strong membrane with highly uniform pore sizes. Here I describe recent quantitative studies of the coarsening effects on the microstructure of membranes produced via TIPS process. The dependence of microstructure on coarsening time, quench depth, solution viscosity, and polymer molecular weight was investigated in order to distinguish among three possible coarsening mechanisms, Ostwald ripening, coalescence, and hydrodynamic flow, which may be responsible for structural evolution after the early-stage phase Separation (spinodal decomposition or nucleation & growth).

  • The maximum relative growth rate of algae treated with Zinc was shown as follows: 15, 8, 6, 3 and -5% per day for the rather sensitive Chlorella sp. populations, or 14, 7, 5 and 4% per day for the Pleurococcus sp. populations, and 22, 20, 13, 9 and 7% per day for the more resistant Scenedesmus spinosus populations, respectively for the culture medium with 0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 ppm of Zinc treatment. With mixed cultures of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus spinosus populations, the growth of the Chlorella sp. population overcame that of the S. spinomsus population from the cultures treated with relatively low concentration of Zinc. On the contrary, the population growth of the latter resistant species overcame that of the former sensitive species when the concentration of Zinc was above 5 ppm Zn of the medium. This paper describes the results of further investigations of the effects evaluated by direct cell counts method, optical density comparisons, oxygen production and consumption determinations and the measurements of the fate of Zinc treated in the solutions.

  • 우리는 염분농도가 맹꽁이 초기발생과정에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구는 2013년 6월에 제주지역 해안가에서 산란하는 맹꽁이 포접쌍의 알을 가지고 실시하였다. 염분농도는 0, 1, 3, 5, 7‰로 하여 알에서 외부아가미가 닫힐 때까지 생존여부와 생장을 관찰하였다. 또 다른 실험은 내부아가미 단계인 올챙이를 0, 1, 3, 5, 7‰의 염분농도에 넣어 생존율과 생장률을 관찰하여 두 실험결과를 비교하였다. 실험결과 알 - 외부아가미 단계에서는 3‰에서 대조군과 유의한 차이가 없이 생존하였으나 5‰에서는 생존율이 낮게 나타났다. 또한 7‰에서는 모든 알이 죽는 것으로 나타나 염분농도가 5‰이상에서는 맹꽁이 초기발생에 생존 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 내부아가미 단계에서의 유생들은 5‰까지는 대조군과 유의한 차이가 없었으나 7‰에서는 생존율이 감소하였다. 생장률인 경우도 염분의 농도가 높아질수록 생장이 느려지고 있었고 외부아가미 단계 및 내부아가미 단계 모두 5‰에서 생장률이 대조군과 유의하게 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있었다. 이번 연구 결과 염분의 농도가 높을수록 맹꽁이 유생의 생존과 생장에 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 해안지역 개발에 따른 부작용인 맹꽁이의 감소에 대한 종 보존에 대비 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Gifticon is an innovative new service of SK Marketing & Company. Launched in the end of 2006 for the first time in the world, the mobile gift certificate is in the form of a SMS message that bears a bar code to exchange with real products sent to the intended recipient through internet portal, messenger or/and mobile phones. The service started by connecting individuals (B2C business) and was expanded to the new marketing tools of companies (B2B business). While the business took off with soft progress in the initial year of launch, Gifticon business finally gained its momentum in the growth of sales in its second and third year. Yet, the data showed that the growth of user-base was getting stagnant that the number of users remained flat for the past few months. Moreover, competition from latecomers such as Giftishow from KTF and Heartcon from LG Telecom gets fierce. Particularly in B2B sector where Gifticon has made minimal profit, competitors started aggressive promotional activities, taking away shares from Gifticon. Under these circumstances, team is facing tough strategic decisions for its long-term growth; How can they further grow the business? Should they go after more massive targets for broader user-base? Should they pursue B2B business more aggressively? This case study asks students to come up with solutions for these questions by understanding concepts, theories and models for diffusion of innovations and strategies to overcome a chasm.

  • Global regulatory pressures relating climate change and environmental responsibility are asking companies to find out the best way for sustaining their continuous business growths. It could be known that inadequate management for environmental issues are bad for business, negatively affecting brand image, causing unnecessary losses and costs for environmental preservation. For this reason, environmentally conscious green business growth has been recognized as an essential requirement for a company to stay in business. Many companies are looking for green business opportunities of improving their environmental and financial results, and struggling with how green fits into their business. In this paper, the Green Six Sigma, an environmentally conscious Six Sigma methodology, is presented as a way to find solutions for green growths. The Six Sigma is known as a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for achieving world-class performance in any process from manufacturing to transactional. In chronological order, the Six Sigma has been evolved from Motorola's quality-oriented methodology to GE's cost-oriented lean approach, and is being evolved and developed as an environment-oriented green growth approach. There is no doubt that the Green Six Sigma, as an engine of green growth, is a power tool for achieving competitive business performance and reducing the impact on the environment.

  • Currently, the overall tendency for green and sustainable economic development is creating a circular economy. In actuality, agricultural output is currently benefiting greatly from the growth of the circular economy. The creation of a circular economy helps address resource scarcity, save the environment, combat climate change, and increase economic efficiency. Vietnam's economy can grow quickly and sustainably by shifting to a circular economy production model. Comparing prior growth techniques to the digital age and implementing circular economic development connected with high technology will be a fantastic opportunity to boost growth efficiency. In actuality, Vietnam currently has a large number of agricultural circular economy models. These are models: Creating and using gas from waste and wastewater in livestock and farming; model combining cultivation, livestock, and aquaculture; agro-forestry model; garden-forest model; Circular model using agricultural by-products as a catalyst or creating other valuable products; model of moderation, linked to reducing the use of growth hormones, veterinary medications, pesticides, and artificial fertilizers in agriculture and animal husbandry. Unfortunately, there have been few studies and applications of the aforementioned models, which has made it difficult to build the agricultural sector sustainably. In this paper, we outline the current situation and propose solutions to develop a circular economy model in agriculture in Vietnam for sustainable development.

  • 본 시험에서 사용된 상추는 대조구인 양액과 양액에 30 mM $KNO_3$, 혹은 양액에 50 mM $KNO_3$를 첨가한 염류농도가 다른 3가지의 양액에서 재배하였으며 이들 양액의 EC는 각각 1.0, 4.5, 6.5 ds/m이었다. 상추의 생육은 처리간에 차이를 보였으며 $KNO_3$를 첨가하여 염류농도를 높여준 용액에서 재배한 상추는 잎끝이 마르는 생리적 장해를 보이면서 발아율의 감소는 물론 초장, 경태, 엽장 및 엽폭 등 성장이 대조구와 비교하여 현저히 부진하였다. 이들 양액에서 자란 상추의 뿌리로부터 마이크로솜을 분리하여 ATPase의 특성을 조사하였다. 마이크로솜 ATPase의 활성은 대조구에 비하여 양액에 30 mM $KNO_3$와 50 mM $KNO_3$를 첨가한 용액에서 자란 상추에서 더 높았다. 상추뿌리로부터 분리한 마이크로솜 ATPase의 총활성은 재배양액 조건에 관계없이 pH 7.0에서 최대로 나타났다. ATPase의 활성은 반응용액의 $K^+$ 농도를 증가시키면 증가하였고 반응용액에 $Na^+$ 농도를 증가시키면 감소하였다. $K^+$에 의한 활성증가 효과는 양액에서 재배한 대조구보다 $KNO_3$를 첨가하여 EC를 높여준 양액에서 재배한 상추뿌리의 마이크로솜 ATPase에서 더 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 생육환경내 $KNO_3$ 농도의 증가에 따라 뿌리의 생리활성을 조절하는 ATPase의 활성이 증가함을 보여준다.

  • Background: Recently, substances from seaweeds have been widely used in hair growth solutions, and have been proven to be effective. Seaweeds have been documented to possess hair growth activity; however, no report on the effect of seaweed on hair regeneration has been issued to date. In this study, we investigated which exact substance of hair tonic made by JW-bio and our institute shows effects on hair growth by studying the mechanisms of candidate substances. Methods: The study was conducted to investigate the hair restoring effect of domestic natural substances; we categorized the candidate substances as seaweed, cereal, and herbal medicine. Five experimental groups were included in the study as follows: a saline group, a 50% ethanol group, seaweed group, a cereal group, and a herbal medicine group. Results: Three extracts (seaweed, cereal, and herbal medicine) were administered to C57BL/6 mice for two weeks after depilation. Depilated areas were found to be completely covered with fully grown hair, and the hair re-growth score was highest in the seaweed group. Using a hair analysis system, hair characteristics were measured in all groups on days 10 and 14 after depilation. The width and length of hair follicles were largest in the seaweed group. Groups treated with seaweed showed significantly increased gene expression of insulin-like growth factor-1. Groups treated with all the three extracts showed decreased expression of transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$. Conclusion: Findings from our study suggest that seaweeds possess hair-growth effects and may be useful for the treatment of alopecia in the future.

  • As the material aging of nuclear power plants has been progressing in domestic and overseas, crack growth becomes one of the most important issues. In this respect, the crack growth assessment has been considered an essential part of structural integrity. The crack growth assessment for nuclear power plants has been generally performed based on ASME B&PV Code, Sec. XI but the idealization of crack shape and the conservative solutions of stress intensity factor (SIF) are used. Although finite element analysis (FEA) based on iterative crack growth analysis is considered as an alternative method to simulate crack growth, there are yet no guidelines to model the crack-tip spider-web mesh for such analysis. In this study, effects of various meshing factors on FE SIF calculation are systematically examined. Based on FEA results, proper criteria for spider-web mesh in crack-tip are suggested. The validation of SIF calculation method through mapping initial stress field is investigated to consider initial residual stress on crack growth. The iterative crack-tip modeling program to simulate crack growth is developed using the proposed criteria for spider-web mesh design. The SIF results from the developed program are validated by comparing with those from technical reports of other institutes.

  • 오늘날 민간경비는 공경비의 부족한 치안수요의 보조적 역할을 수행하며 급성장하였다. 이러한 일련의 성장에는 긍정적인 측면이 많지만 부정적인 측면도 적지 않다. 그 중 용역폭력은 대표적인 민간경비업의 부정적인 측면이다. 본 연구에서는 민간경비업체의 용역폭력의 근절을 위한 논의를 필두로 용역폭력의 사례를 제시하고 제시된 사례에 따른 문제점을 개선하기 위한 방안을 모색하는데 중점을 둔 연구이다. 용역폭력이 근절되지 않는 한 민간경비산업의 확장이 어려운 것은 자명한 일이기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 용역폭력의 제한 규정을 강화해야 한다는 점, 경비원에 대한 감독과 관리 책임에 있어 적극적으로 용역을 수주한 경비업체의 책임성을 강화해야 한다는 점, 마지막으로 경비업무에 대한 철학적 정체성을 확립해야 한다는 점을 대안으로 제시하였다.
