황과 레졸로 가교된 천연고무 배합물의 가황 특성과 가교물의 물리적 특성을 연구하였다. 분자량 분포가 다른 2가지 레졸을 사용하였다. 분자량 분포도가 낮은 레졸이 포함된 배합물의 스코치 시간은 분자량 분포도가 높은 레졸이 포함된 배합물에 비해 빠르다. 레졸 함량이 높은 가교물의 가교밀도는 $95^{\circ}C$ 열노화 후 감소한 반면, 레졸이 없는 가교물의 경우에는 열노화 후 가교 밀도가 증가하였다. 레졸 함량이 높은 가교물의 가교 밀도는 노화 시간이 길어질수록 감소하지만 모듈러스는 증가하고 인장 강도와 인열 강도는 감소한다.

본 연구에서는 dextransucrase의 효소반응에 의한 dextran 생성기작을 규명하고자 하였다. Dextransucrase에 의한 dextran 생성은 초기당농도 50~150g/$\ell$에 대하여 수행하였고 생성된 dextran은 GPC를 사용하여 분자량 분포를 측정하였다. 이 연구에서 실험한 surcrose 농도범위에서는 surcrose가 primer로 작용하지 않은 것으로 추측된다. 또한 surcrose 농도가 50~100g/$\ell$의 범위에서 확산에의한 surcrose의 물질전달 제약에 의한 중합속도의 감소로 먼저 중간분자량 dextran이 생성되었다가 고분자량 dextran이 생성된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Surcrose 농도가 100~150g/$\ell$로 증가하면서 중간분자량 dextran 생성기작은 라디칼 중합반응을 따르나 낮은 surcrose 농도에서는 물질전달 제약에 의하여 중합반응속도가 감소되어 중간분자량의 dextran을 생성함을 알 수 있었다.

The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents and their ecosystems is a monumental landmark in the history of Ocean Sciences. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are scattered along the global mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins. Under sea volcanic phenomena related to underlying magma activities along mid-ocean ridges generate extreme habitats for highly specialized communities of animals. Multidisciplinary research efforts during past three decades since the first discovery of hydrothermal vents along the Galapagos Rift in 1977 revealed fundamental components of physiology, ecology, and evolution of specialized vent communities of micro and macro fauna. Heterogeneous regional geological settings and tectonic plate history have been considered as important geophysical and evolutionary factors for current patterns of taxonomic composition and distribution of vent faunas among venting sites in the World Ocean basins. It was found that these communities are based on primary production of chemosynthetic bacteria which directly utilize reduced compounds, mostly $H_2S$ and $CH_4$, mixed in vent fluids. Symbioses between these bacteria and their hosts, vent invertebrates, are foundation of the vent ecosystem. Gene flow and population genetic studies in parallel with larval biology began to unveil hidden dispersal barrier under deep sea as well as various dispersal characteristics cross taxa. Comparative molecular phylogenetics of vent animals revealed that vent faunas are closely related to those of cold-water seeps in general. In perspective additional interesting discoveries are anticipated particularly with further refined and expanded studies aided by new instrumental technologies.

Collagen is a family of proteins which consists of several genetically distinct molecular species and is intimately involved in tissue organization, function, differentiation and development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentration of different hydroxyproline (Hyp) fractions viz., total, free, peptide-bound, protein-bound, soluble- and insoluble-collagen hydroxyproline (Hyp) in various bovine tissues. Results showed that liver had the highest concentration of free Hyp followed by kidney, brain, spleen, lungs, muscle and heart. Liver also had the highest concentration of peptide-bound collagen Hyp followed by kidney, heart, spleen, lungs, brain and muscle. The concentration of protein-bound collagen Hyp was highest in the liver, followed by kidney, spleen, lungs, muscle, brain and heart. Total Hyp was highest in the liver, followed by kidney, spleen, brain, heart, muscle and lungs. Liver also had significantly high concentration of collagen as compared to other tissues examined (P<0.001). Spleen had the significantly higher concentration of soluble-collagen Hyp when compared to other tissues (P<0.001). This was followed by heart, muscle, lungs, brain, kidney and liver. Heart had the highest concentration of insoluble-collagen Hyp followed by lungs, kidney, liver, muscle, spleen and brain. The variation among the insoluble-collagen Hyp concentration of heart and muscle, spleen and brain was significant (P<0.001). We speculate that these differences could be due to the variation in turn over of rate of collagen metabolism in this species.

본 연구에서는 공기분자간 평균 자유비형거리(molecular mean free path)를 고려한 수정된 레이놀즈 방정식을 공기막 두께의 미소 교란항에 대하여 전개하여 비선 형 정적 평형방정식과 교란 미분방ㄹ정식을 구하였다. 비선형 정적 평형방정식을 슬 라이더의 정량적인 거동형태를 표시하므로 이를 이용하여 슬라이더의 정적특성을 구할 수 있다. 이에 반하여, 동적 교란미분 방정식은 슬라이더의 간극함수에 대한 각종 교란에 의하여 유발되는 반발압력을 정성적으로 나타내므로, 슬라이더의 외부교란에 대한 응답특성 및 자기복원특성 등을 구할 수 있다. 이러한 특성을 서스펜션에 부착 된 헤드 시스템의 운동방정식에 함께 고려하여 시스템의 동적 특성을 해석하고 슬라이 더의 설계변수가 이에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고저 한다.

Compsopogon specimens collected in China were examined based on morphology and DNA sequences. Five molecular markers from different genome compartments including rbcL, COI, 18S rDNA, psbA, and UPA were identified and used to construct a phylogenetic relationship. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that two different morphological types from China clustered into an independent clade with Compsopogon specimens when compared to other global samples. The Compsopogon clade exhibited robust support values, revealing the affiliation of the samples to Compsopogon caeruleus. Although the samples were distributed in a close geographical area, unexpected sequence divergences between the Chinese samples implied that they were introduced by different dispersal events and from varied origins. It was speculated that Compsopogon originated in North America, a portion of the Laurentia landmass situated in the Rodinia supercontinent at approximately 573.89-1,701.50 million years ago during the Proterozoic era.Although Compsopogonhad evolved for a rather long time, genetic conservation had limited its variability and rate of evolution, resulting in the current monospecific global distribution. Additional global specimens and sequence information were required to increase our understanding of the evolutionary history of this ancient red algal lineage.

The shear behavior of polymers obtained by means of devices such as capillary and cone-and-plate rheo-meters is commonly used to assess their processing performance and as a characterization tool. However, the number of instances when two polymers have the same shear properties but perform differently during certain types of processing operations (e.g. film blowing and sheet extrusion) indicate that shear properties alone may not be sufficient to characterize polymeric fluids. We begin by defining the kinematics of shear-free or extensional flow and the associated material functions. The extensional and shear behavior of three different types of polyethylene (PE) are then compared to illustrate the points that one cannot ascertain the extensional properties of polymer melts from their shear properties and, furthermore, there may not be a simple relation between properties obtained from one type of extensional flow and those of another type. The kinematics of most processing flows are extensional rather than shear in nature, and , hence, the performance of polymers during processes such as fiber spinning, film casting, film blowing, thermoforming, blow molding, and even extrusion is more readily accounted for through extensional viscosity measurements. Methods for carrying out extensional flow measurements are then reviewed including approximate methods. To illustrate the sensitivity of extensional viscosity measurements to subtle changes in the molecular architecture of PEs, results are presented for samples with a narrow molecular weight distribution but with varying numbers of long chain branches. Finally, constitutive equations which allow one to separate shear and extensional flow behavior are discussed as any attempts to simulate the subtle processing differences between two polymers will require constitutive equations of this nature.

Pectin was enzymatically extracted from industrial lemon pomace by using an endo-polygalacturonase from Aspergillus niger as a processing aid and compared to pectin extraction by hot hydrochloric acid. The yield of pectin was 17.6 and 20.2% with enzymatic and acidic treatments, respectively. The molecular weight distribution did not vary greatly between the samples extracted with enzyme or acid. Large differences in charge density were observed, however, when the samples were analyzed by anionic-exchange chromatography. Pectin extracted by the enzymatic treatment indicated higher charge density than that obtained by hydrochloric acid. The higher charge density could due to the presence of endogenous lemon pectinesterase, which was activated at low pH 4.5 in situ conditions during the process of enzymatic extraction, leading to low methoxylated pectin with a higher charge density.

Severe hypertension (>180 mmHg) develops in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) after 12 wk-old; however, it is not clear whether what kinds of molecular mechanism leads to altered cardiac performance following developmental stages in SHR. Also, although the effect of calcineurin (Cn) to promote cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vivo and in vitro is established, its overall necessity as a hypertrophic mediator is currently an area of ongoing debate. Thus, we have examined i) body weight and blood pressure, ii) differences of expression and distribution of signaling molecules such as Cn, protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) between SHR and their age-matched control Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats following developmental stages. In 16 wk-old SHR compared with WKY, 2-dimentional echocardiography showed cardiac enlargement and hypertrophy of left ventricle, significantly. Taken together, we suggest that Cn is associated with hereditary cardiac hypertrophy, the process being related to the molecular signaling mechanisms involving PKB/Akt and ERK.
