Much attention has been paid to the processing of inorganic whisker, especially calcium carbonate whisker, which can be used as reinforcement materials of polymer composite due to its low price. Unfortunately, the present synthesis technique of calcium carbonate whisker starts from calcinations of limestone, which involves high energy consumption and furthermore is a highly environment polluting reaction. In this report, needle-like aragonite was synthesized with a reversible solution reaction from limestone without calcination. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the morphology and crystal structure of intermediates as well as that of the product, aragonite. GCC (grinding calcium carbonate) powder was dissolved in an aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate with reflux and air flush. EDTA titration was used to evaluate reaction rate of the dissolution. A kinetics equation of the dissolution reaction was constructed, which displayed second-order kinetics with respect to the concentration of magnesium sulfate. A rate constant of $0.0015\;l^{-3}{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ was obtained. The dissolution reaction gave fiber-like magnesium hydroxide sulfate and gypsum crystal. Then needle-like aragonite with a length of $9.13\;{\pm}\;1.02\;{\mu}m$ and an aspect ratio of $5.64\;{\pm}\;1.37$ was synthesized from the dissolution product with $CO_2$ bubbling at $70^{\circ}C$.

Nickel is the one of potent environmental, the occupational pollutants and the classified human carcinogens. It is a serious hazard to human health, when the metal exposure. To prevent human diseases from the heavy metals, it is seemingly important that understanding of how nickel exerts their toxicity and carcinogenic effect at a molecular and a genomic level. The process of nickel absorption has been demonstrated as phagocytosis, iron channel and diffusion. Uptaked nickel has been suggested to induce carcinogenesis via two pathways, a direct DNA damaging pathway and an indirect DNA damaging pathway. The former was originated from the ability of metal to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and the reactive intermediates to interact with DNA directly. Ni-generated ROS or Nickel itself, interacts with DNAs and histones to cause DNA damage and chromosomal abnormality. The latter was originated from an indirect DNA damage via inhibition of DNA repair, or condensation and methylation of DNA. Cells have ability to protect from the genotoxic stresses by changing gene expression. Microarray analysis of the cells treated with nickel or nickel compounds, show the specific altered gene expression profile. For example, HIF-I (Hypoxia-Inducible Factor I) and p53 were well known as transcription factors, which are upregulated in response to stress and activated by both soluble and insoluble nickel compounds. The induction of these important transcription factors exert potent selective pressure and leading to cell transformation. Genes of metallothionein and family of heat shock proteins which have been known to play role in protection and damage control, were also induced by nickel treatment. These gene expressions may give us a clue to understand of the carcinogenesis mechanism of nickel. Further discussions on molecular and genomic, are need in order to understand the specific mechanism of nickel toxicity and carcinogenicity.

캐스터오일은 수소화반응을 통해 계면활성제의 중간체 등 유용한 화학산업의 원료로 활용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 캐스터오일의 수소화용 니켈촉매의 제조조건과 전처리 조건에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 니켈촉매는 침전제와 pH를 다르게 하여 실리카 담체상에 침전법으로 담지되었고, 다시 산화와 환원의 반복된 전처리를 행하였다. 니켈촉매의 활성은 캐스터오일의 요오드 가를 측정하여 비교하였고, 니켈촉매의 분산도는 XRD, BET, TEM을 통하여 분석하였다. 니켈촉매의 활성을 CO산화반응실험을 통하여도 비교하였다. 산화와 환원 사이클의 반복에 의해 니켈의 재분산이 실리카 상에서 발생하였고, 이것이 캐스터오일 수소화반응 활성을 증진시키는데 기여하였다.

trans-[Cr(tn)$_2Cl_2]^+$ 및 trans-[Cr(en)(tn)Cl$_2]^+$ 이온의 수화반응속도를 분광광도법을 이용하여 온도의 압력을 변화시켜 가면서 측정하였다. 활성화부피는 모두 음의 값을 가졌으며. 이들 착이온의 경우 그 범위는 -1.7 ∼ -2.9cm$^3$mol$^{-1}$이었다. 활성화엔트로피 및 활성화압축류 계수는 작은 음의 값을 가졌다. 이러한 열역학적 결과로부터 이들 착이온의 수화반응은 교환회합 메카니즘으로 진행됨을 추정할 수 있다. 한편 각중첩모형 체제내에서 가상적 중간체의 총 안정화에너지를 고려하여 반응경로와 전이상태의 구조에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있는데 추정한 메카니즘과 실험적으로 관찰된 결과가 일치함을 알았다.

2-Methyl-5,5'-gem-disubstituted-$\Delta^2$-thiazoline系 化合物의 合成을 1,1'-gem-dusubstituted thiiranes의 三員環을 ammonis로 開環하여 骸當하는 N-또는 S-acetyl-amino mercaptan을 얻고 그것을 다시 閉環하는 方法과 또 하나는 같은 三員環인 gem-disubstitutes imines을 thiolacetic acid 로 開環하고 그것을 直接 다시 閉環하여 얻은 두가지 方法에 의하여 硏究하엿다. 前者는 thiirane ring은 gem-disubtitution의 compression 效果에 의하여 極히 安定化되어 여러가지 强力한 反應條件下에서의 sodium amide를 利用한 ammonia nuclephile에 頑强한 抵抗을 나타냈으며 反對로 後者의 三員環 imine은 같은 gem-disubstitution 效果를 받음에도 不拘하고 容易하게 開環하였다. 이 gem-disubstitution 效果에 의한 環狀化合物의 開環阻止性과 閉環促進性을 立體化學的인 見地에서 考察하였으며 本硏究로서 環狀化合物의 安定性에 미치는 gem-disubstitution의 compression 效果는 所謂 Thorpe-Ingold bond angle deformation에 緣由하는 것이 아니고 오히려 gem-dusubstituents와 異節環狀化物內의 hetero atom(s)이 미치는 bond interaction에 起因하다는 結論을 얻었다.

An effective methodology is reported for determining the optimal lot size of batch processing and storage networks which include uncertain demand forecasting. We assume that any given storage unit can store one material type which can be purchased from suppliers, internally produced, infernally consumed, transported to or from other sites and/or sold to customers. We further assume that a storage unit is connected to all processing and transportation stages that consume/produce or move the material to which that storage unit is dedicated. Each processing stage transforms a set of feedstock materials or intermediates into a set of products with constant conversion factors. A batch transportation process can transfer one material or multiple materials at once between sites. The objective for optimization is to minimize the probability averaged total cost composed of raw material procurement, processing setup, transportation setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of processing stages and storage units. A novel production and inventory analysis formulation, the PSW(Periodic Square Wave) model, provides useful expressions for the upper/lower bounds and average level of the storage inventory. The expressions for the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of the optimization problem can be reduced to two sub-problems. The first yields analytical solutions for determining lot sires while the second is a separable concave minimization network flow subproblem whose solution yields the average material flow rates through the networks for the given demand forecast scenario. The result of this study will contribute to the optimal design and operation of the global supply chain.

Background: The present study aimed to compare the relative abundance of proteins and amino acid metabolites to explore the mechanisms underlying the difference between wild and cultivated ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) at the amino acid level. Methods: Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation were used to identify the differential abundance of proteins between wild and cultivated ginseng. Total amino acids in wild and cultivated ginseng were compared using an automated amino acid analyzer. The activities of amino acid metabolism-related enzymes and the contents of intermediate metabolites between wild and cultivated ginseng were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and spectrophotometric methods. Results: Our results showed that the contents of 14 types of amino acids were higher in wild ginseng compared with cultivated ginseng. The amino acid metabolism-related enzymes and their derivatives, such as glutamate decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethionine, all had high levels of accumulation in wild ginseng. The accumulation of sulfur amino acid synthesis-related proteins, such as methionine synthase, was also higher in wild ginseng. In addition, glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle-related enzymes as well as their intermediates had high levels of accumulation in wild ginseng. Conclusion: This study elucidates the differences in amino acids between wild and cultivated ginseng. These results will provide a reference for further studies on the medicinal functions of wild ginseng.
