Cholic acid, conjugated with amine-terminated poly(W-isopropylacrylamide) (abbreviated as CA/ATPNIPAAm), was synthesized by a N, N'-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC)-mediated coupling reaction. Self-assembled CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles were prepared by a diafiltration method in aqueous media. The CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles exhibited a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at $31.5^{\circ}C$. Micelle sizes measured by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) were approximately 31.6 $\times$$\times$ 5.8 nm. The CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles were spherical and their thermal size transition was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). A fluorescence probe technique was used for determining the micelle formation behavior of CA/ATPNIPAAm in aqueous solutions using Pyrene as a hydrophobic Probe. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was evaluated as $8.9{\times}0^{-2}$ g/L. A drug release study was performed using indomethacin (IN) as a hydrophobic model drug. The release kinetics of IN from the CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles revealed a thermo-sensitivity by the unique character of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) i.e. the release rate was higher at $25^{\circ}C$ than at $37^{\circ}C$.

We have studied the polymerization kinetics of acrylamide in aqueous solution with potassium persulfate as an initiator by using quantitative real-time in situ IR spectroscopy and monitoring the profiles of peaks in the range 1900-850 cm$\^$-1/. The conversion of acrylamide was calculated from the disappearance of the peak at 988 cm$\^$-1/, which is the out-of-plane bending mode of the=C-H unit, normalized to the C=O stretching peak at 1675 cm$\^$-1/, as an internal standard. For reaction temperatures in the range 40-65$^{\circ}C$ and initiator and monomer concentrations of 0.9-2.6 mmol/L and 0.5-1.1 mol/L, respectively, we deduced that the rate of monomer consumption follows the relation R$\_$p/=k［K$_2$S$_2$O$\_$8/］$\^$0.5/ [Μ］$\^$1.35${\pm}$0.10/. In addition, we obtained activation parameters from an evaluation of the kinetic data.

Phospholipase D is a ubiquitous enzyme that plays an important role in various lipid mediated cellular signaling pathways and produces rare phospholipids, phosphatidylethanol or phosphatidylbutanol, instead of phosphatidic acid with unique catalytic activity transphosphatidylation in the presence of primary alcohols. The reaction products, phosphatidylethanol or phosphatidylbutanol are used as markers of in vitro phospholipase D activity in many studies. For the sensitive detection of the phospholipase D products, we developed an advanced lipid extraction method that facilitates recovery of the compounds. With the new method, the activity change of phosaholipase D by agonists could be detected more easily and the recovery rate was also increased. The increase of detected enzyme activity change was about double fold compared to the conventional lipid extraction method. This method provides selective force for the phospholipase D products in the extraction procedure.

By introducing curing kinetics and chemo-rheology for the epoxy resin formulation for ultra-high voltage gas insulated switchgear (GIS) Insulating Spacers, a study was conducted to simulate the curing behavior, flow and warpage analysis for optimization of the molding process in automatic pressure gelation. The curing rate equation and chemo-rheology equation were set as fixed values for various factors and other physical property values, and the APG molding process conditions were entered into the Moldflow software to perform optimization numerical simulations of the three-phase insulating spacer. Changes in curing shrinkage according to pack pressure were observed under the optimized process conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the residence time in the solid state was shortened due to the lowest curing reaction when the curing holding pressure was 3 bar, and the occurrence of deformation due to internal residual stress was minimized.

재생에너지로부터 수전해를 통하여 생산된 수소와 포집된 CO2를 활용하여 메탄올을 합성하는 power-to-methanol 기술이 재생에너지를 대용량으로 저장하는 방안으로 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 메탄올을 수소 및 전력 생산에 활용함에 있어 더욱 효율적인 방법으로 연료전지 내부에서 메탄올 수증기개질 반응이 일어나는 내부개질형 용융탄산염 연료전지에 대해 성능 분석을 실시하였다. 용융탄산염 연료전지의 연료극으로 사용되는 다공성 Ni-10 wt%Cr을 촉매로 메탄올 수증기개질 반응을 수행한 결과 연료전지 운전 조건에서 연료극은 메탄올 수증기개질 반응에 충분한 활성을 나타내었다. 메탄올 수용액을 직접 용융탄산염 연료전지의 연료극으로 공급한 결과 연료전지의 성능은 외부 개질기를 통하여 생산된 개질가스를 공급하는 경우에 비해 다소 성능이 낮게 나타났으며, 메탄올 공급유량이 비교적 낮은 경우 고 전류밀도에서 불안정한 성능을 나타내었다. 연료극으로부터 생성된 가스를 재순환시킴으로써 연료전지의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 메탄올 전환율도 90% 이상 얻을 수 있었다. 물질수지를 통하여 연료극에서 일어나는 반응을 분석한 결과 전류밀도 및 가스 재순환 유량이 증가함에 따라 메탄올 수증기개질 반응속도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 별도의 촉매층을 설치할 필요 없이 연료극 만으로도 용융탄산염 연료전지 내에서 메탄올 수증기개질 반응이 가능하며, 메탄올 내부개질형 용융탄산염 연료전지를 통하여 전력과 합성가스를 동시에 생산할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

연구 배경 : 세계적으로 Asian dust로 알려져 있는 황사는 주로 봄철 중국과 몽고의 사막지역에서 발생하는 모래먼지로 수천 킬로미터를 이동하여 낙하하는 자연적으로 발생되는 대표적인 오염 물질이다. 한반도에 영향을 미치는 황사는 주로 $10{\mu}m$이하의 미세먼지($PM_{10}$)로서 $PM_{10}$의 증가는 황사현상의 증가와 매우 밀접한 관련이 있다. $PM_{10}$은 호흡기에 침착이 가능하고 따라서 호흡기 증상 및 폐기능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져있으나 아직 이에 대한 병리기전의 연구는 미미하여 기존에 추정되는 $PM_{10}$의 병리기전 이외에 황사 먼지의 이동에 따르는 미생물의 전파, 특히 바이러스의 전파에 대한 연구는 임상적으로 의미가 있을 것으로 생각되며 황사시 바이러스 감염 질환 자체의 발생을 알아 보기위해 황사시 대기에서 시료를 채취하여 바이러스의 존재 유무에 대해 연구하였다. 방 법 : $PM_{10}$은 인천지역 10군데에서 측정하였으며 고용량 대기 포집기(HA 500F, Sibata, 일본)를 이용하여 하루에 한번씩 포집하였다. 공기포집기의 흡입용량인 500 L/min으로 6시간 시행하였다. 시료를 흡착하기 위하여 $0.25{\mu}m$ pore size의 지름이 110mm 인 Glass microfiber filter( Prefilter AP 15, 124mm)를 이용하였다. nfluenza virus, 구제역에 관계된 Piconaviridae의 Aphthovirus속인 RNA바이러스, Hog cholera virus 돼지콜레라 바이러스) 의 검출을 위해 수집한 membrane filter를 전처리하여 Polymerase chain reaction으로 바이러스를 확인하였다. 결 과 : 연구 기간 중 24시간 평균 $PM_{10}$수치는 황사 발생일에 $148.0{\mu}g/m^3$, 비황사발생일에 $57.0{\mu}g/m^3$ 로 차이를 보였다. 2003년과 2004년 4월부터 8월 사이에 채취한 시료에서 검출 대상 바이러스인 Influenza virus A, B, Hog cholera virus, 구제역에 관련된 Aphthovirus등은 검출되지 않았다. 결 론 : 연구는 연구기간 동안에 황사의 발생이 적어 충분한 연구가 되지 못하였으며, 또한 검출하고자 했던 바이러스질환의 발생도 적어 실제 황사와의 관련성을 규명하기에 적절한 연구가 이루어지질 못했다. 향후 황사 발생과 바이러스질환의 유행이 일치하는 시점에 좀더 광범위한 시료의 채취 방법으로 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This study suggested an optimized algorithm for detecting the loss of balance(LOB) in the seated position. And the sensitivity analysis was performed in order to identify the role of each design variable in the algorithm. The LOB algorithm consisted of data processing of measured signals, an internal model of the central nervous system and a control error anomaly(CEA) detector. This study optimized design variables of a CEA detector to obtain improved values of the success rate(SR) of detecting the LOB and the margin time(MT) provided for preventing the falling. Nine healthy adult volunteers were involved in the experiments. All the subjects were asked to balance their body in a predescribed seated posture with the rear legs of a four-legged wooden chair. The ground reaction force from the right leg was measured from the force plate while the accelerations of the chair and the head were measured from a couple of piezoelectric accelerometers. The measured data were processed to predict the LOB using a detection algorithm. Variables S2, h2 and hd are related to the detector: S2 represents a data selecting window, h2 a time shift and hd an operating period of the LOB detection algorithm. S2 was varied from 0.1 to 10 sec with an increment of 0.1 sec, and both h2 and hd were varied from 0.01 to 1.0 sec with an increment of 0.01 sec. It was found that the SR and MT were increased by up to 9.7% and 0.497 sec comparing with the previously published case when the values of S2, h2 and hd were set to 4.5, 0.3 and 0.2 sec, respectively. Also the results of sensitivity analysis showed that S2 and h2 had considerable influence on the SR while these variables were not so sensitive to the MT.
