The multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with graphite crystal structure were synthesized by the catalytic decomposition of a ferrocene-xylene mixture in a quartz tube reactor to use as the conductive filler in the binary polymer matrix composed of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) for the EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding applications. The yield of MWNTS was significantly dependent on the reaction temperature and the mole ratio of ferrocene to xylene, approaching to the maximum at 800 $^{\circ}C$ and 0.065 mole ratio. The electrical conductivity of the MWNTs-filled PVdF/PVP composite proportionally depended on the mass ratio of MWNTs to the binary polymer matrix, enhancing significantly from 0.56 to 26.7 S/cm with the raise of the mass ratio of MWNTs from 0.1 to 0.4. Based on the higher electrical conductivity and better EMI shielding effectiveness than the carbon nanofibers (CNFs)-filled coating materials, the MWNTs-filled binary polymer matrix showed a prospective possibility to apply to the EMI shielding materials. Moreover, the good adhesive strength confirmed that the binary polymer matrix could be used for improving the plastic properties of the EMI shielding materials.

고분자-점토 나노복합재는 적은 양의 점토 함유만으로도 물리적, 기계적 특성 등의 물성 증대 효과를 기대할 수 있다 고분자-점토 나노복합재의 일반적인 제조방법으로는 층간 삽입법과 직접 중합법으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 디알릴테레프탈레이트와 1,3-부탄디올을 단량체조 하여 알릴 에스터 예비 중합체를 합성하고, 점토를 이용하여 층간 삽입법과 직접 중합법으로 나노복합재를 제조하여 점토의 함량, 경화조건, 점토의 혼합 방법에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 실리케이트 층간 거리는, 30B-점토를 이용하여 직접 중합법으로 제조하였을 때, 40$\AA$ 이상으로 가장 넓게 나타났다. 이는 유기화제의 작용기 (-OH)와 단량체가 실리케이트의 층 사이에서 에스터 교환 반응을 일으켜, 층간 거리가 증가하였기 때문이다. 또한 기계적 특성과 열적 특성 확인으로 점토의 분산 정도가 복합재의 물성 향상의 중요한 인자임을 확인할 수 있었다.

광촉매는 물에서 유기 염료를 분해하는 친환경적 기술이다. 산화 텅스텐은 이산화 티타늄에 비해 더 작은 밴드갭을 지니고 있어 광촉매 나노물질로서 활발히 연구되고 있다. 계층적 구조의 합성, 백금 도핑, 나노 복합물 또는 다른 반도체와의 결합 등이 광촉매 분해 효율을 향상시키는 방법들로 연구되고 있다. 이들 방법들은 광 파장의 적색편이를 유도하여 전자 이동, 전자-정공 쌍의 형성과 재결합에 영향을 미친다. 산화 텅스텐의 형태 개질을 통해 앞서 언급한 광촉매 분해 효율을 향상시키는 방법들과 합성에 대해 분석하였으며 금속 산화물과 탄소 복합재를 결합하는 방법이 새로운 물질의 합성이 필요없으며 가장 효율적인 방법으로 조사되었다. 이러한 광촉매 기술은 수처리 분리막기술과 모듈화하여 정수처리 목적으로 사용될 수 있다.

영가철과 산소가 반응 시 유기화합물들을 산화시킬 수 있는 활성산화제가 생성되게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 반응기작을 고려하여 슬러지의 가용화를 위한 전처리 방법으로서 영가철과 공기주입의 혼합에 의한 전처리 효과를 평가하였다. 실험결과 슬러지의 가용화를 위해 공기주입만 단독으로 적용하였을 때보다 영가철과 공기주입을 동시에 적용하였을 때 슬러지의 가용화가 더욱 효과적인 것으로 분석되어 영가철의 투입이 슬러지의 가용화 범위를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 영가철과 공기주입 시 암모니아성 질소 농도의 제거율이 34%로 나타난 반면에 단독으로 공기만 주입 시에는 24%로 나타났다. 따라서 영가철과 공기주입에 의한 전처리 방법은 슬러지의 가용화 효율을 향상시킬 수 있으면서 암모니아성 질소로 인한 혐기성 소화의 저해 가능성을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes on the characteristics of the oxidative stability of Tenebrio molitor larvae during cold storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Pretreatment for T. molitor larvae was designed into three methods: raw (R), freeze-dried (F.D.), and pan-fried (P.F.). The water content of the raw sample (61.46%) was higher than those of other samples (F.D.: 5.02%, P.F.: 3.67%) and its high water content was expected to facilitate the oxidation of the raw sample. In our results, the peroxide value and the carbonyl value of all of the samples increased and the raw sample, after storage for 18 day, showed the highest value. The pan-fried sample had no significant increase in its lactic acid content, acid value, and thiobarbituric acid value; whereas those values were increased in the raw sample and the freeze-dried sample (p<0.05). The browning reaction was more progressed in the pan-fried sample than other samples at 0 day, but there was no significant change during the storage. The raw sample and the freeze-dried sample had their browning indexes increase with the increasing storage period (p<0.05). The pan-fried sample produced less oxidation products than the freeze-dried sample, indicating that the unheated sample was more susceptible to oxidation than the heated samples. In conclusion, heating treatment and low water content would be effective for improving the safety and stability of T. molitor larvae during cold storage.

Aseptic meningitis, the most common infection of the central nervous system, is an acute illness mostly caused by enteroviruses. Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) has been used for the detection of enteroviral RNA but the detection has been mostly performed in a single CSF specimen obtained during the illness. A major objective was to evaluate the relation of sampling time to the recovery of enteroviral RNA in CSF. Thirty seven CSF specimens were obtained from 24 patients between May and August 1993, when an outbreak of asceptic meningitis by echovirus type 9 occurred. Enteroviral RNA in CSF was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Data about onset of symptom development were obtained by review of medical records. Enteroviral RNA was detected by PCR in 29 of 37 CSF specimens. PCR yielded positive results in 4 of 5 CSF specimens obtained on day 1 to 3, 10 of 11 on day 4 to 6, 8 of 10 on day 7 to 9, 6 of 8 on day 10 to 12, 1 of 3 on day 13 to 15 postonset. Of 11 patients from each of whom more than one CSF were obtained on different day postonset, PCR yielded positive resutls in 2 of 3 cases in whom enteroviral RNA detection was negative in the first CSF. These results indicate that two or more CSF specimens obtained within 12 days postonset are required for improving the accuracy of the diagnosis of enteroviral meningitis.

단백질은 서열의 disorder 구역이 생물학적 반응을 일으켜 order로 변하는 과정에서 그 기능을 하게 되므로 서열 데이터에서 disorder 구역과 order 구역을 분리하는 것은 단백질의 3차 구조 및 특성을 예측하는데 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 효율적인 disorder와 order 구역 분류를 위해서 단백질의 특정 특징에 치우치지 않는 분류 결과를 얻으면서, 분류 속도를 향상 시킬 수 있도록 서열 데이터를 이용한 분류/예측 기법을 제안한다. 출현패턴 기반의 EPs-TFP 기법은 중복 출현패턴이 제거된 필수 출현패턴만을 이용하는 분류/예측 기법이다. 이 분류 기법은 disorder 구역의 서열 출현패턴들을 발견하며, 이러한 서열 출현패턴은 disorder 구역에서는 빈발하지만 order 구역에서는 상대적으로 빈발하지 않는 패턴들이다. 또한 제안 알고리즘의 성능 향상을 위해서 기존의 P-tree, T-tree 개념의 TFP 기법을 확장하여 분류/예측 기법으로 적용하였다. EPs-TFP 기법의 성능평가를 위해서 Disprot 4.9와 CASP 7 데이터를 활용하였고, disorder/order 구역을 분류한 결과, 민감도 73.6, 특이도 69.5, 정확도 74.2를 보였다.

Distraction osteogenesis is a biologic process of new bone formation between the surfaces of bone segments that are gradually separated by incremental traction. Distraction osteogenesis is clinically applied as a new treatment modality of mandibular hypoplasia or bony defect area in maxillofacial area by many studies of distraction devices and method. But, disadvantages of distraction osteogenesis shows unfavorably long consolidation period and relapse tendency. Therefore, this experiment was designed to investigate the effectiveness of combined application of distraction and compression force for improving of bone quality and shortening of treatment period during distraction osteogenesis. Twenty-five Sprague-Dawley rats with $300{\sim}350gm$ were used. These were divided into two group as distraction group and combination group. The distraction group was added with conventional method during distraction osteogenesis, but the combination group was applied with compression force in the consolidation period. The rats were sacrificed for gross finding, radiographic and histologic findings at 3, 6 weeks after distraction. The results were as follow: 1. On radiographic finding, all combination of distraction and compression force group appeared more radiopacity than distraction group both at 3 weeks and 6 weeks after distraction group. 2. On histologic finding, the formation of mature lamellar bone were showed increasingly in combined group at 6weeks after distraction group. From this study, we may suggest that compression force application in consolidation period during distraction osteogenesis can be useful method to improve bone quality and to shorten the treatment period. But more experimental and clinical studies is necessitated on ideal application timing and method of compression force application during distraction osteogenesis.

Objectives Depletion of ovarian function after menopause in women induces estrogen deficiency leading to increased fat and decreased muscle mass. In this study, we examined the effect of herbal medicines by measuring hormone expression in muscle tissue of estrogen-deficient rats induced by ovariectomy. Methods Ovariectomy was performed to induce estrogen deficiency, and mice were given herbal prescription (HP) for 6 weeks. Estrogen-deficient rats were divided into two groups: one group (HPH) which were orally administered HP 200 mg/kg and the other group (HPL) administered HP 40 mg/kg. Weight changes in both groups were measured using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After extraction of the femoral muscles in mice, the expression of the leptin, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), diacyl glycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1α, NADH dehydrogenase (NDH), farnesyl diphosphate farnesyltransferase (FDFT)1, lanosterol synthase (LSS), phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), and peroxiredoxin (Prdx6) were measured using PCR. Results HP increased the expression of leptin, LPL, DGAT1, PGC-1α, NDH, FDFT1, LSS, PEMT, and Prdx6. HP affects body fat metabolism and is effective in improving menopausal obesity and obesity complications caused by estrogen deficiency. However, HP does not affect the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, and thus will not be effective in obesity-related metabolic diseases. Conclusions HP is thought to inhibit weight gain by regulating hormone expression related to glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism in muscle tissue of estrogen-deficient rats.

Objective: It is well recognized that beef cuts from a low quality grade are usually associated with tougher, drier and less flavorful. Thus, the present study aimed at investigating the combined effects of postmortem ageing and sous vide (SV) cooking followed by oven roasting or blowtorching on the eating quality of low quality grade Hanwoo beef striploins. Methods: Hanwoo beef striploins (quality grade 3) obtained from 36 month-old Hanwoo steers were used, and the samples were chiller aged for 0 and 14 d at 4℃. After ageing, the samples were prepared into 2.5-cm steaks which were then SV cooked at 55℃ for 5 h and then raised to 60℃ for 1 h, and thereafter the SV-cooked the steaks were further roasted in oven for 20 min (SV+OV) or blowtorched (SV+TC) for 2 min. The cooked samples were analyzed for microbiological quality, browning index, Wanrner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), aroma flavor compounds and sensory properties. Results: The SV cooking significantly reduced the WBSF values in beef samples (p<0.05). Blowtorching after SV cooking led to a browner surface of the beef steaks (p<0.05). The samples treated with SV+OV or SV+TC exhibited higher levels of Maillard reaction-derived aroma flavor compounds such as; pyrazines and sulfur-containing compounds compared to those just SV cooked. More especially, the SV+OV- or SV+TC- treated samples presented significantly higher flavor and overall acceptability scores compared to those just SV cooked (p<0.05). Ageing beef for 14 d significantly improved the tenderness by reducing the WBSF and increasing the tenderness scores. Conclusion: Thus, the combination of postmortem ageing and SV cooking followed by additional treatments (blowtorching or oven roasting) could be used to improve the eating quality especially tenderness and flavor as well as overall acceptability of low grade Hanwoo beef.
