해조칼슘을 습식분쇄한 초미세액상칼슘을 분무건조하여 부형제 종류에 따른 분말칼슘의 품질특성을 알아보고자 gum arabic, cyclodextrin, Na-caseinate를 첨가하여 품질특성을 비교하였다. 분무건조한 초미세분말칼슘의 수분함량은 2% 내외의 안정한 분말을 얻을 수 있었고, 색도는 원료인 해조칼슘보다 L값은 높았으며, b값은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 입자크기는 당류의 부형제 첨가로 초미세 크기로 분쇄되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, gum arabic을 첨가하여 제조한 초미세액상칼슘을 분무건조한 분말이 식초와 pH에 대한 용해도에서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 칼슘함량은 해조칼슘분말이 28%의 칼슘함량을 나타내었고, 부형제를 달리하여 제조한 초미세액상칼슘을 분무건조한 분말은 27% 내외로 비슷한 칼슘함량을 나타내어, 습식분쇄나 분무건조 공정에서 칼슘의 손실은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 흡습에 대한 안정성실험에서는 해조칼슘분말이 흡습에 안정하였으며, gum arabic을 첨가하여 분무건조한 분말이 흡습이 많이 발생하였다. 전자주사 현미경 관찰을 통하여 습식분쇄로 입자크기가 작아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, gum arabic을 사용하여 얻은 초미세칼슘분말이 단백질계나 사용하지 않았을 때보다 더 균일한 입자분포를 보였다. 따라서 습식분쇄한 초미세액상칼슘을 분말화하여 용해성등 품질특성이 개선됨을 확인하였으며 습식분쇄기술과 분무건조법을 식품가공기술로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 확보하였다.

In this article, by using experimental studies and artificial neural network has been tried to investigate the use of nano-silica as concrete admixture to reduce alkali-silica reaction. If there are reactive aggregates and alkali of cement with enough moisture in concrete, a gel will be formed. Then with high reactivity between alkali of cement and existence of silica in aggregates, this gel will expand by absorption of water, and causes expansive pressure and cracks be formed. At the time passes, this gel will reduce both durability and strength of the concrete. By reducing the size of silicate to nano, specific surface area of particles and number of atoms on the surface will be increased, which causes more pozzolanic activity of them. Nano-silica can react with calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$) and produces C-S-H gel. In this study, accelerated mortar bar specimens according to ASTM C 1260 and ASTM C 1567, with different mix proportions were prepared using aggregates of Kerman, such as: none admixture and plasticizer, different proportions of nano-silica separately. By opening the moulds after 24 hour and curing in water at $80^{\circ}C$ for 24 hour, then curing in (1N NaOH) at $80^{\circ}C$ for 14 days, length expansion of mortar bars were measured and compared. It was noted that, the lowest length expansion of a specimens shows the best proportion of admixture based on alkali-silica reactivity. Then, prediction of alkali-silica reaction of concrete has been investigated by using artificial neural network. In this study the backpropagation network has been used and compared with different algorithms to train network. Finally, the best amount of nano silica for adding to mix proportion, also the best algorithm and number of neurons in hidden layer of artificial neural network have been offered.

We have developed a TOF-MEIS system using 70~100 keV He+. A TOF-MEIS system was designed and constructed to minimize the ion beam damage effect by utilizing a pulsed ion beam with a pulse width < 1 ns and a TOF delay-line-detector with an 120 mm diameter and a time resolution of 180 ps. The TOF-MEIS is an useful tool for interfacial analysis of the composition and structure of nano and bio systems. Our recent applications are reported. We investigated the effect with Polyaspartic Acid (pAsp) and Osteocalcin on the initial bone growth of calcium hydroxyl appatite on a carboxyl terminated surface. When pAsp is not added to the self-assembled monolayers of Ca 2mM with Phosphate 1.2 mM, the growth procedure of calcium hydroxyl appatite cannot be monitored due to its rapid growth. When pAsp is added to the SAMs, the initial grow stage of the Ca-P can be monitored so that the chemical composition and their nucleus size can be analyzed. Firstly discovered the existence of 1-nm-sized abnormal calcium-rich clusters (Ca/P ~ 3) comprised of three calcium ions and one phosphate ion. First-principles studies demonstrated that the clusters can be stabilized through the passivation of the non-collagenous-protein mimicking carboxyl-ligands, and it progressively changes their compositional ratio toward that of a bulk phase (Ca/P~1.67) with a concurrent increase in their size to ~2 nm. Moreover, we found that the stoichiometry of the clusters and their growth behavior can be directed by the surrounding proteins, such as osteocalcin.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can be released to humans and the environment through the generation of waste containing engineered nanomaterials (WCNMs) and the use and disposal of nano-products. Nanoparticles can also be introduced intentionally or unintentionally into waste streams. This study examined WCNMs in domestic industries, and target nanomaterials, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, nano silver, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were selected. We tested 48 samples, such as dust, sludge, ash, and by-products from manufacturing facilities and waste treatment facilities. We analyzed leaching and content concentrations for heavy metals and hazardous constituents of the waste. Chemical compositions were also measured by XRD and XRF, and the unique properties of nano-waste were identified by using a particle size distribution analyzer and TEM. The dust and sludge generated from manufacturing facilities and the use of nanomaterials showed higher concentrations of metals such as lead, arsenic, chromium, barium, and zinc. Oiled cloths from facilities using nano silver revealed high concentrations of copper, and the leaching concentrations of copper and lead in fly ash were higher than those in bottom ash. In XRF measurements at the facilities, we detected compounds such as silicon dioxide, sulfur trioxide, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. We found several chemicals such as calcium oxide and silicon dioxide in the bottom ash of waste incinerators.

본 연구에서는 고압 환경에서 합성된 결정 입자의 크기에 원시료(starting materials)의 상(phase)이 미치는 영향을 확인했다. 상이 다른 두 가지 원시료인 비정질 시료와 나노파우더 시료를 이용해 알루미늄이 부화된 고압의 환원환경에서 삼원계 시스템인 브리지마나이트-페리클레이스-칼슘 페라이트(calcium ferrite)상의 MgAl₂O₄을 합성했다. 시료는 40 GPa 2000 K의 압력온도 조건에서 20 시간 동안 가열하여 합성했다. 합성된 시료는 비정질 시료를 이용한 경우 입자 크기가 50-200 nm였으며, 나노파우더를 이용한 경우 ~500 nm로 나타났다. 이러한 차이는 1) 시료가 합성된 2000 K의 온도가 낮아 비정질 시료의 경우 결정 성장보다 결정핵 성장이 더 우세하게 나타났거나 2) 시료에 존재할 수 있는 산화 환원반응 상태의 차이로 생각된다. 추후 다원계 시스템에 대한 고압 실험을 수행할 때 비정질 시료보다 나노파우더를 원시료로 이용하는 것이 결정 성장에서 더 유리할 것으로 생각된다.

Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is a cellular self-destruction mechanism that is essential for a variety of biological events, such as developmental sculpturing, tissue homeostasis, and the removal of unwanted cells. Mitochondria play a crucial role in regulating cell death. $Ca^{2+}$ has long been recognized as a participant in apoptotic pathways. Mitochondria are known to modulate and synchronize $Ca^{2+}$ signaling. Massive accumulation of $Ca^{2+}$ in the mitochondria leads to apoptosis. The $Ca^{2+}$ dynamics of ER and mitochondria appear to be modulated by the Bcl-2 family proteins, key factors involved in apoptosis. The number and morphology of mitochondria are precisely controlled through mitochondrial fusion and fission process by numerous mitochondria-shaping proteins. Mitochondrial fission accompanies apoptotic cell death and appears to be important for progression of the apoptotic pathway. Here, we highlight and discuss the role of mitochondrial calcium handling and mitochondrial fusion and fission machinery in apoptosis.

When concrete is exposed to fire, the thermal decomposition of hydrates of Portland cement paste results in critical damage to the concrete structure of a building. Recently, nanosilica arose as the effective nano-additive which can enhance the thermal resistance of the cementitious materials. However, the mechanism of the enhancement was not elucidated specifically. In this study, we investigated the properties of calcium silicate hydrates(C-S-H)of the nanosilica incorporated cement paste after heating to different heating temperatures (200℃, 500℃, and 800℃) by 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance. The results showed that the polymerization of C-S-H of nanosilica incorporated samples was larger than ordinary cement paste after heating to 200℃, and C-S-H formed during heating process to 500℃ due to the pozzolanic reaction during heating process.

Spirodela polyrhiza(L.) Schleid (Lemnaceae) have been used as a traditional drug in treating urticaria and itching. However, the exact role of Spirodela polyrhiza in allergic reaction has not been clarified yet. Type 1 hypersensitivity (immediate hypersensitivity), popularly known as allergy, is a major clinical problem in humans. It has been found that the histamine release from mast cells is an essential step in the pathological process of immediate hypersensitivity. In the present study, the effect of aqueous extract of Spirodela polyrhiza (AESP) on immediate hypersensitivity was investigated. AESP inhibited the antigen-induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). AESP in vitro exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of degranulation in RPMC stimulated by compound 48/80. AESP also suppressed the morphological changes and the increase of intracellular free calcium level induced by compound 48/80. These results suggest that inhibitory effect of AESP on immediate hypersensitivity may be mediated through the decrease of intracellular free calcium levels, and AESP importantly contributes to the treatment of anaphylaxis and may be useful for other allergic disease.

Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) of $(62-x)CaO{\cdot}38Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}xBaO$ glasses has been carried out using empirical potentials with the covalent term. The simulations closely reproduce the total neutron correlation functions of glass with 5 mol% BaO and physical properties of these glasses such as elastic constants. For these glasses, aluminum is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen, but there is a part of five-fold and six-fold coordination of aluminum. There are no major changes to the mid-range structure of glass, as barium is substituted for calcium. To predict the barium coordination number, we have used the bond valence (BV) theory and also compared the results of simulation with Bond valence. The coordination number for oxygen around barium atoms is close to 8 and the average distance of barium and oxygen is nearly 2.80 A. The viscosity of these glasses increases with the content of barium oxide substituted for calcium oxide.
