This study was designed to examine the mechanism of penile erection in adult bull by analyzing the responses of bovine proximal retractor penile muscle strips(BRP) to electtical field stimulation(EFS), exogenous nitric oxide(NO), NO synthesis precursor(L-arginine), NO synthase inhibitors(L-NAME, L-NMMA), guanylate cyclase inhibitor(methylene blue) and nonspecific potassium channel blocker(tetraethylammonium, TEA) treatments. Isometric tension of BRP was measured using physiograph. Results were summarized as follows: 1. EFS of nonadrenergic noncholinrgic(NANC) nerve in BRP produced frequency-dependent inhibitory responses to the contraction induced by co-treatment of epinephrine, guanethidine and atropine. The inhibitory responses to EFS were blocked by tetrodotoxin(TTX, $1{\mu}M$). 2. Treatment of L-NAME ($10,\;20{\mu}M$) inhibited the relaxation to EFS whereas L-NMMA ($100{\mu}M$) had no effect. 3. Treatment of NO($20,\;40{\mu}M$; as an acidified solution of $NaNO_2$) induced concentration-dependent relaxation whereas preincubation of TTX($1{\mu}M$) and L-NAME($20{\mu}M$) had no effect on the relaxation response. 4. L-arginine treatment(10mM) blocked the inhibitory effect of L-NAME($20{\mu}M$). 5. Pretreatment of methylene blue($40{\mu}M$) reduced the NANC-induced relaxation of BRP. 6. Tetraethylammonium(TEA, 80mM) reduced NANC relaxation. These results suggest that NO may act as a NANC neurotransmitter in BRP and the effects might be mediated by cGMP and potassium channel.

The immune reinforcement of the probiotic lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum was studied in RAW 264.7 cell line treated with diluted solution (dilution to $2^{5}$) of the supernatnats of lactic acid bacteria. RAW 264.7 cell line was used as a macrophage model to assess the effects of lactic acid bacteria on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ and cell morphological changes. The production of NO and TNF-$\alpha$ were largely affected by lactic acid bacteria in dose-dependent manner in 24 or 48 hr cultures and cell morphological changes were also largely affected by lactic acid bacteria. Especially Bifidobacterium bifidum differentially stimulated the production of NO and TNF-$\alpha$. NO production was increased by Bifidobacterium bifidum 25 $\mu$l/ml more than LPS (20 ng/ml) control, and TW-$\alpha$ by Bifidobacterium bifidum 6.25 $\mu$l/ml more than LPS (10 ng/ml) control. The in vitro approaches employed here should be useful in further characterization of the effects of lactic acid bacteria on systemic immunity.

An organic precipitate flotation of Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) was investigated by the coprecipitation with lanthanum 8-hydroxyquinolinate. Trace amounts of Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) with a significantly large amount of La(Ⅲ) were simultaneously precipitated in a 1,000 mL sample solution with the ethanolic 8-hydroxyquinoline solution. The pH was adjusted to 9.0 with 2 M ammonia solution. The precipitates were floated with the aid of tiny nitrogen bubbles and supported by the stable foam layer of sodium lauryl sulfate. The floats were collected on the fritted glass filter by a suction. The material collected was dissolved with 5.0 mL of ethanol and 1.5 mL of concentrated nitric acid, and then diluted to 25.0 mL with a deionized water. The analytes were determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The recoveries of the analytes spiked in the sample were 94.8% for Pb(Ⅱ) and 92.0% for Cd(Ⅱ). This flotation technique is simple and rapid, and also applicable to the determination of trace Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) at lew ppb levels.

본 연구에서는 Taguchi method을 사용하여 폐 배터리 셀 분말(LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂, LiCoO₂)으로부터 선택적 리튬 침출을 위한 최적의 질산염화 공정에 대한 연구를 진행했다. 질산염화 공정은 질산 침출 및 배소를 통해 질산리튬을 제외한 질산 화합물을 산화물로 변환하여 선택적 리튬 침출을 하는 공정이다. 따라서 전처리 온도, 질산 농도, 질산 침적 양, 배소 온도에 대하여 Taguchi method를 적용하여 인자가 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. L₁₆(4⁴)직교 배열표를 사용하여 실험하였으며, 신호 대 잡음비(S/N) 및 분산 분석(ANOVA)을 분석하였다. 그 결과 배소 온도가 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤으며 질산 농도, 전처리 온도, 질산 사용량 순으로 영향을 미쳤다. 각 인자에 대해 세부적인 실험을 진행한 결과 전처리 700℃에서 10시간, 10 M 질산 2 ml/g 침출, 275℃ 배소 10시간이 적절하였다. 그 결과 80% 이상의 리튬을 침출을 확인하였다. 400℃ 이상 배소 시 급격하게 리튬 침출율이 감소원인 분석을 위해 질산리튬과 질산 화합물을 배소 후 D.I water에서 침출하지 잔류물에 대해 XRD 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과 질산리튬과 질산망간과 400℃ 이상의 온도에서 리튬 망간 옥사이드의 형성하며 D.I water에서 침출하지 않음을 확인하였다. 질산염화 공정 시 침출된 용액을 고액분리 후 증발농축하여 XRD 분석한 결과 LiNO₃의 회수를 확인하였다.

Aluminum nitrate 수용액을 원료로 사용하여 $K_2O-Li_2O-Al_2O_3$ 3성분계로부터 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$를 합성하였다. 순수한 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$의 합성을 위하여 원료물질은 $0.84K_2O{\cdot}0.082Li_2O{\cdot}5.2Al_2O_3$의 조성으로 액상상태에서 혼합되었다. 입자크기를 최소화하고 순수한 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$를 합성하는데 있어서 분산첨가제와 용액의 pH의 영향을 조사하였다. 분산첨가제로써 에탄올을 0.0~4.0 M 첨가하였고 용액의 pH는 $NH_4OH$ 수용액과 $HNO_3$를 이용하여 조절하였다. 시료는 pH 1.0에서 7.5까지 0.5 간격으로 수집하였다. 각 시료들은 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 2 h 동안 하소한 후 XRD와 PSA 분석을 하였다. 용액의 pH는 입자크기와 상형성에 모두 중요한 영향을 미친 반면, 에탄올의 첨가는 입자크기에만 영향을 주었다. pH 조절에 $HNO_3$를 사용하였을 경우, $HNO_3$를 사용하지 않았을 때 보다 순수한 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$ 상을 합성하는데 유리함을 알 수 있었다.

알칼리 및 알칼리토금속(Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr), 전이금속(Zr, Fe, Mo, Ni, Pd, Rh), 란탄족(La, Y, Nd, Ce, Eu) 및 악티늄족(Np, Am) 등 17개 원소로 구성된 질산매질의 모의 방사성용액에서 옥살산에 의한 란탄족과 악티늄족 원소의 공침전 연구를 수행하였다. 옥살산 농도 0.5 M에서 질산농도의 영향과 아스코빅산 첨가에 따른 원소들의 침전율이 조사되었다. 각 원소들의 침전율은 질산농도에 따라 약간 감소하였으나 란탄족과 악티늄족은 99% 이상 침전되었다. 옥살산 침전시 아스코빅산이 첨가되는 경우 Pd이 금속으로 환원 침전되었고, 이때 Mo, Fe, Ni, Ba의 경우는 침전율이 약 10~20% 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나, 기타 원소들에 대해서는 영향이 나타나지 않았다. Pd(II) 이온은 질산농도 1.0 M 미만의 모의용액에서 아스코빅산 첨가시 Pd 금속으로의 환원침전이 일어났으며, 아스코빅산 농도가 0.01~0.02 M 부근에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 하이드라진이 아스코빅산과 같이 첨가될 때 Pd의 환원침전을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다.

Experiments were carried out to study the operation characteristics of a regenerator with a thermo-syphon pump and a surface-flame burner for a lithium bromide (LiBr)-water absorption heat pump. A cylindrical-shape metal-fiber burner and commercial grade propane were used. The emission of carbon monoxide and nitric oxide was measured by a combustion gas analyzer. Ther regeneration rate of water vapor as a refrigerant was measured. It could be as a reference value showing the performance of the regenerator. The circulation rate of the LiBr-water solution was also measured from both the tanks for the weak-and the strong-solution. Using a refractometer, the LiBr concetration in the solution was calculated from the measured refractory index of the solution. Temperature of the solution and the condensed water was recorded at several points in the experimental apparatus with thermocouples, using a personal computer. This data collecting system for measuring temperature was calibrated with a set of standard thermometers. The generating rate of water vapor as refrigerant increased linearly with heat supplied. It was about 4.0g/s with the heat supplied at a rate of 16,500kcal/h. The circulation rate of LiBr solution also increases with the heat supplied. The difference in LiBr concentrations between the weak and the strong solution was in the range of 1 to 5% when the concentration of the strong solution was about 60%. It was dependent upon both the heat supplied and the circulation rate of the solution. The initial concentration and the level of the LiBr solution in the regenerator were measured and recorded before experiments. The effect of them on the generating rate of water vapor and the circulation rate of the solution was also studied. The generating rate of water vapor was not strongly dependent upon both the level of the LiBr solution and the initial LiBr concentration. However, the concentration difference of the solution increases with the initial level of the LiBr solution.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-oxidative effect of Suhwagije-decoction (SGT) pharmacopuncture solution on the liver and spleen cells of aged rats. Methods : The liver and spleen cells of 10, 52, and 72 week old Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into three groups: distilled water (DW), Vit.C, and SGT groups, which were treated with DW, Vit.C and SGT pharmacopuncture solution respectively. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO) were then measured. Results : 1. Treatment of SGT pharmacopuncture solution significantly decreased NO concentration in spleen cells of 52 week old rats as compared with that of other groups. 2. Treatment of SGT pharmacopuncture solution significantly increased SOD activity in spleen cells of 72 week old rats as compared with that of other groups. Conclusions : Suhwagije-decoction (SGT) pharmacopuncture solution may have an anti-oxidative effect in the spleen cells of aged rats.

To improve efficiency of solar cells, it is important to make a light trapping structure to reduce surface reflectance for increasing absorption of sun light within the solar cells. One of the promising methods that can reduce surface reflectance is isotropic texturing with acid solution based on hydrofluoric acid(HF), nitric acid($HNO_3$), and organic additives. Anisotropic texturing with alkali solution is not suitable for multicrystalline silicon wafers because of its different grain orientation. Isotropic texturing with acid solution can uniformly etch multicrystalline silicon wafers unrelated with grain orientation, so we can get low surface reflectance. In this paper, the acid texturing solution is made up of only HF and $HNO_3$ for easy controlling the concentration and low cost compared to acid solution with organic additives. $HNO_3$ concentration and dipping time were varied to find the condition of minimum surface reflectance. Textured surfaces were observed Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and surface reflectance were measured. The best result of arithmetic mean(wavelength from 400 nm to 1000 nm) reflectance with acid texturing is 4.64 % less than alkali texturing.
