Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic pathogen that causes septicemia in humans. To identify the genes associated with its pathogenicity, in vivo expression technology (IVET) was used to select genes specifically expressed in a host, yet not significantly in vitro. Random lacZ-fusions in the genome of V vulnificus strain MO6-24/O were constructed using an IVET vector, pSG3, which is a suicide vector containing promoterless-aph and -lacZ as reporter genes. A total of ${\sim}18,000$ resulting library clones were then intraperitoneally injected into BALB/c mice using a colony forming unit (CFU) of $1.6{\times}10^6$. Two hours after infection, kanamycin was administered at $200{mu}g$ per gram of mouse weight. After two selection cycles, 11 genes were eventually isolated, which were expressed only in the host. Among these genes, VV20781 and VV21007 exhibiting a homology to a hemagglutinin gene and tolC, respectively, were selected based on having the highest frequency. When compared to wild-type cells, mutants with lesions in these genes showed no difference in the rate of growth rate, yet a significant decrease in cytotoxicity and the capability to form a biofilm.

This study was attempted to be used as basic data for efficient clinical practice education operation by identifying differences in program outcomes before and after integrated clinical practice of nursing students. Data collection was conducted before and after 6 weeks of integrated clinical practice for 38 nursing college students from July 19 to September 10, 2021 with a single group pre- and post-design. The collected data were analyzed by frequency, Wilcoxon sign rank, and Pearson correlation using SPSS/Win 23.0. After the integrated clinical practice, 1st program outcomes(Care integration)(Z=-4.63, p<.001), 2nd(Core practice)(Z=-3.99, p<.001), 6th(Critical thinking)(Z=-3.60, p<.001) and 11th(Research practice)(Z=-2.76, p=.005) increased significantly compared to before practice. Since integrated clinical practice was found to be an effective practice to improve program outcomes, it is suggested to actively utilize it as a strategy for improving program outcomes.

The effect of reduction of carbon dioxide by CODH(Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase) was compared on glassy carbon and gold working electrodes. In case of gold electrode, the choice of the optimum applied potential is very important since $H_2$ evolution can be mixed with $CO_2$ reduction. On the other hand, efficient $CO_2$ reduction was observed up to -650 mV vs. NHE on glassy carbon in neutral solution due to the larger overpotential for $H_2$ evolution on glassy carbon surface than that on gold surface. The optimum potential for $CO_2$ reduction was found to be $-570{\sim}600\;mV$ vs. NHE. The current efficiency of $CO_2$ to CO decreased dramatically at more negative potential according to the activity of enzyme decrease and the hydrogen evolution.

This paper presents development results of integrated operating program and its simulator for an inshore test miner. The inshore test miner drives on the seabed and collects manganese nodules. For operating the test miner, integrated operating program (IOP) is needed for remote control and monitor of the miner in real-time. However, it is hard to develop the practical IOP for the test miner system, because the system is big, expensive, and unique. So a simulator was developed as a test substitute in order to save time and to reduce cost. Using test results of the simulator, the IOP of the test miner was developed. The developed IOP consists of remote program, host program, monitoring program and database program. The operating program was developed using PXI and Labview of NI. The experimental results are presented to show the applicability of the developed program.

Among the non-precious metal catalysts, iron-nitrogen doped carbon (Fe-N/C) catalysts have been recognized as the most promising candidates for an alternative to Pt-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under alkaline and acidic conditions. In this study, the nano replication method using mesoporous silica, which features tunable primary particle sizes and shape, is employed to prepare the mesoporous Fe-N/C catalysts with different shapes. Platelet SBA-15, irregular KIT-6, and spherical silica particle (SSP) were selected as a template to generate three different kinds of shapes of the mesoporous Fe-N/C catalyst. Physicochemical properties of mesoporous Fe-N/C catalysts are characterized by using small-angle X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and scanning electron microscopy images. According to the electrochemical evaluation, there is no morphological preference of mesoporous Fe-N/C catalysts toward the ORR activity with half-cell configuration under alkaline electrolyte. By implementing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of Fe and N atoms in the mesoporous Fe-N/C catalysts, it is possible to verify that the activity towards ORR highly depends on the portions of "Fe-N" species in the catalysts regardless of the shape of catalysts. It was suggested that active site distribution in the Fe-N/C is one important factor towards ORR activity.
