본 연구에서는 천연 보습인자의 구성 성분인 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산을 피부에 주기적으로 반복 도포하여 일반적으로 알려진 보습뿐 만 아니라 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산을 피부 톤과 결의 개선제로 활용하였다. L-${\alpha}$-아미노산의 알킬기(R)의 극성과 비극성에 따라 두 그룹으로 나누어 각질케어 효능을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 극성 알킬기를 갖는 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산 콤플렉스(L-${\alpha}$-아미노산-콤플렉스-1)가 비극성 알킬기를 갖는 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산 콤플렉스(L-${\alpha}$-아미노산-콤플렉스-2)에 비해 21% 향상된 효능을 나타내었다. 임상 실험을 위해 20 - 40대 11인의 여성에게 실험군으로서 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산 콤플렉스-1을 포함한 에멀전을 오른쪽 뺨에 8주간 매일 도포하고 대조군으로서 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산 콤플렉스-1를 포함하지 않은 에멀전을 왼쪽 뺨에 같은 방법으로 도포하였다. 피부 톤의 개선은 $JANUS^{(R)}$ 장비를 통해 측정하고 이미지분석 소프트웨어를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 피부 결의 개선은 phaseshift rapid in-vivo measurement of the skin (PRIMOS)장비를 이용하여 기기적으로 측정하고 분석하였다. 그 결과, 피부 톤 11.7%, 피부 결 6.7%의 개선을 확인하였다. 또한 피험자에게 심미적으로 느껴지는 개선에 대해 설문조사를 실시하여 피부개선의 체감도를 바탕으로 기기측정 결과를 통해 나타난 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산 도포의 효능을 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 약산성(pH 6.5)조건에서 피부 자극을 유발하지 않음과 동시에 생리학적인 개선을 통한 피부 톤과 결의 개선을 기대할 수 있으며, 화장품 소재로서 심미적 만족감을 줄 수 있는 물질로 L-${\alpha}$-아미노산이 활용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

In this study, we have cloned a novel cDNA encoding for a papain-family cysteine protease from the Uni-ZAP XR cDNA library of the polychaete, Periserrula leucophryna. This gene was expressed in Escherichia coli using the T7 promoter system, and the protease was characterized after partial purification. First, the partial DNA fragment (498 bp) was amplified from the total RNA via RT-PCR using degenerated primers derived from the conserved region of cysteine protease. The full-length cDNA of cysteine protease (PLCP) was prepared via the screening of the Uni-ZAP XR cDNA library using the $^{32}P-labeled$ partial DNA fragment. As a result, the PLCP gene was determined to consist of a 2591 bp nucleotide sequence (CDS: 173-1024 bp) which encodes for a 283-amino acid polypeptide, which is itself composed of an 59-residue signal sequence, a 6-residue propeptide, a 218-residue mature protein, and a long 3'-noncoding region encompassing 1564 bp. The predicted molecular weights of the preproprotein and the mature protein were calculated as 31.8 kDa and 25 kDa, respectively. The results of sequence analysis and alignment revealed a significant degree of sequence similarity with other eukaryotic cysteine proteases, including the conserved catalytic triad of the $Cys^{90},\;His^{226},\;and\;Asn^{250}$ residues which characterize the C1 family of papain-like cysteine protease. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the novel gene were deposited into the GenBank database under the accession numbers, AY390282 and AAR27011, respectively. The results of Northern blot analysis revealed the 2.5 kb size of the transcript and ubiquitous expression throughout the entirety of the body, head, gut, and skin, which suggested that the PLCP may be grouped within the cathepsin F-like proteases. The region encoding for the mature form of the protease was then subcloned into the pT7-7 expression vector following PCR amplification using the designed primers, including the initiation and termination codons. The recombinant cysteine proteases were generated in a range of 6.3 % to 12.5 % of the total cell proteins in the E. coli BL21(DE3) strain for 8 transformants. The results of SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis indicated that a cysteine protease of approximately 25 kDa (mature form) was generated. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme were determined to be approximately 9.5 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively, thereby indicating that the cysteine protease is a member of the alkaline protease group. The evaluation of substrate specificity indicated that the purified protease was more active towards Arg-X or Lys-X and did not efficiently cleave the substrates with non-polar amino acids at the P1 site. The PLCP evidenced fibrinolytic activity on the plasminogen-free fibrin plate test.

흑마늘의 기능성을 분석하기 위하여 용매별 계통 분획물을 만들어 100, 250, 500 및 $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 항산화 활성을 측정하였다. 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 화합물의 함량은 chloroform, ethyl acetate 및 hexane 분획물에서 유의적으로 높아 butanol, methanol 및 물 분획물에 비하여 5.5~11.6배 더 많았다. 흑마늘 계통 분획물의 항산화 활성은 시료의 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 그 활성도 증가하였으며, chloroform과 ethyl acetate 분획물의 활성이 유의적으로 높았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 butanol과 물 분획물을 제외한 모든 시료 모두에서 50% 이상의 활성을 나타내었다. ABTS 라디칼 소거능의 경우 hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate 분획물에서 비교적 활성이 높아, $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 70% 이상의 소거능을 보였다. $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 hydroxyl radical 소거능은 50.27~81.02%의 범위로 높은 반면 SOD 유사활성은 26.73~47.64%로 비교적 그 활성이 낮았다. Linoleic acid 반응계에서 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과 저장기간이 길수록, 시료의 첨가 농도가 높을수록 항산화 활성이 더 높았으며, 또 극성 용매보다는 비극성용매 분획물의 활성이 유의적으로 높았다. 아질산염 소거능의 경우 butanol 분획물을 제외한 모든 시료에서 비교적 그 활성이 높아 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서도 50% 이상의 소거능을 보였다.

토양 중에서 3개월과 6개월간 $^{14}C-bentazon$을 숙성시키는 동안 방출된 $^{14}CO_2$의 량은 처리 방사능의 각각 6.1과 14.8%이었다. 토양중의 지렁이는 벼의 뿌리에 의한 $^{14}C-bentazon$의 흡수를 증가시켰다. 토양중의 $^{14}C-bentazon$으로부터 방출되는 $^{14}CO_2$량은 벼를 재배하거나 지렁이가 존재할 때 증가하였다. 벼에 의한 $^{14}C-bentazon$ 잔류물의 흡수는 토양중 지렁이의 유무에 관계없이 숙성기간이 증가함에 따라 현저히 감소하였다. 벼의 경우에는 옥수수를 이용한 연구와 비교해 볼 때 $^{14}C-$표지화합물의 훨씬 많은 량이 지상부로 이행되었다. 추출 불가능한 흡착잔류물의 량은 3개월까지는 숙성기간이 증가할수록 현저히 증가하였다. 토양으로부터 추출된 화합물의 극성은 숙성기간과 벼의 생육에 따라 증가하였으며 이는 극성 대사 산물의 형성을 시사해 준다.

비극성 a-GaN의 성장 시 기판의 경사각은 GaN epi의 품질을 결정하는 중요한 변수로서 양질의 a-GaN 성장을 위해서는 R-면 기판의 경사각이 정밀하게 제어된 기판이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 R-면 기판의 경사각 ${\alpha}$와 ${\beta}$의 목표값이 각각 0, -0.1, -0.15, -0.2, -0.4, $-0.6^{\circ}$와 -0.1, 0, $0.1^{\circ}$인 절단기판을 제조하였다. 절단기판의 경사각을 x-ray를 이용하여 측정하고 통계적인 분석을 통해 기판의 경사각 제어공정에 대한 신뢰성을 평가하였으며, R-면 기판의 경사각의 공차는 ${\pm}0.03^{\circ}$의 값을 가졌다. R-면 기판은 상대적으로 큰 이방성에 의해 c-면 기판에 비해 휨(BOW)과 두께편차(TTV)가 상대적으로 큰 분포를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. AFM을 이용하여 기판 표면을 관찰한 결과, 측정된 R-면기판의 step 높이는 0.2~0.4 nm로 거의 일정한 값을 가졌으며 step 너비는 경사각 ${\alpha}$가 증가함에 따라 156 nm에서 26 nm로 감소하였으며 이와같은 R-면 기판의 step 구조의 변화는 epi 성장에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

In the recent WTO/DDA negotiations, discussions are progressing to forbid fishery subsidies which have negative effect on the natural environment and the fishery resources and to lower or to eliminate the tariff/non-tariff barriers that distort trade liberalization. As a result, linking to the weak structural environment of Korea's fishing villages; such a scheme has jeopardized the livelihood of fishermen who settle down in local fishing harbors. Against this backdrop, the government is attempting to positively respond to changes in the fishing environment in a number of different ways: promotion of fishing tourism, fishing harbor reinforcement in function, developing fishing villages, and harbors. With respect to investment by priority in fishing harbor development, it is very important to appropriately select investment targets based on objective criteria. A small number of harbors are chosen and investment plans by harbor are systematically devised, economic feasibility and the effects of investment are analyzed and reviewed in relation to each target harbor. This paper is designed to review and assess objective evaluation methods and the degree of importance for the designation of target harbors, dealing with local harbors in Chung Nam Do as a model. Each local government has tried to reorganize existing harbors and develop new harbors, considering a fall in the number of fishing vessels and the expansion of maritime leisure activities. In order to overcome the limit of existing harbors in function, to raise the income of fishermen, and to activate tourism, they have shifted their focus from simple functions such as vessel evacuation and anchoring to harbor beautification, which can work as a basis for fishing tourism. This paper points out that the AHP analysis method for prioritizing local harbors in Chung Nam Do should help to be chosen target harbors in other cities and provinces. Each local government has attempted to reorganize existing harbors and to develop new harbors, taking into consideration the decline in the number of fishing vessels and the expansion of maritime leisure activities. In order to overcome the limited number of functional harbors, to raise the income of fishermen, and to boost tourism, they have shifted their focus from simple functions, such as vessel evacuation and anchoring, to harbor beautification, which can work as a basis for fishing tourism. This paper shows that the AHP analysis method for prioritizing local harbors in Chungcheongnam-do could aid in the effective selection of target harbors in other cities and provinces.

The $0.99Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.78}K_{0.22})_{0.5}TiO_3-0.01LaAlO_3$, $0.01LaMnO_3$ or $0.01LaFeO_3$ (0.99BNKT-0.01LA, 0.01LM or 0.01LF) ceramics were prepared by a conventional mixed mothod. The structure and morphology of the lead free ceramics were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy). XRD results indicated that the BNKT ceramics modified by LA, LM or LF induced a transition from a ferroelectric tetragonal to a non-polar pseudo-cubic phase, leading to decrease in the remnant polarization ($P_r$) and coercive field ($E_c$) in the P-E hysterisis loops. The effects of the BNKT ceramics modified by La-based $ABO_3$ pervskite structure on the electric-field induced strain were investigated, and the largest normalized unipolar strain ($S_{max}/E_{max}$) was found in BNKT-0.01LF ceramic.

Two Gram-staining-negative, red-pinkish, coccus-shaped, non-motile, and aerobic bacterial strains, designated $Ant21^T$ and Ant22, were isolated from the Antarctic coastal sea water. Strains $Ant21^T$ and Ant22 showed UVC and gamma radiation resistance. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences determined that these strains belong to the genus Deinococcus. Through the analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, strains $Ant21^T$ and Ant22 were found to have 97.7% and 97.8% similarity to Deinococcus marmoris DSM $12784^T$ and 97.0% and 97.2% similarity to Deinococcus saxicola AA-$1444^T$, respectively. The sequence similarity with the type strains of other Deinococcus species was less than 96.9% for both strains. Strains $Ant21^T$ and Ant22 shared relatively high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99.3%) and had a closely related DNA reassociation value of $84{\pm}0.5%$. Meanwhile, they showed a low level of DNA-DNA hybridization (<30%) with other closely related species of the genus Deinococcus. The two strains also showed typical chemotaxonomic features for the genus Deinococcus, in terms of the major polar lipid (phosphoglycolipid) and the major fatty acids ($C_{16:0}$, $C_{16:1}$ ${\omega}6c/{\omega}7c$, $iso-C_{17:0}$, and $iso-C_{15:0}$). They grew at temperatures between $4^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ and at pH values of 6.0-8.0. Based on the physiological characteristics, the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis results, and the low DNA-DNA reassociation level with Deionococcus marmoris, strains $Ant21^T$ ($=KEMB\;9004-167^T$ $=JCM\;31436^T$) and Ant22 (KEMB 9004-168 =JCM 31437) represent novel species belonging to the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus rubrus is proposed.

A bacterial strain, designated B301^T and isolated from raw chicken meat obtained from a local market in Korea, was characterized and identified using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells were gram-negative, non-motile, obligate-aerobic coccobacilli that were catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The optimum growth conditions were 30℃, pH 7.0, and 0% NaCl in tryptic soy broth. Colonies were round, convex, smooth, and cream-colored on tryptic soy agar. Strain B301^T has a genome size of 3,102,684 bp, with 2,840 protein-coding genes and 102 RNA genes. The 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that strain B301^T belongs to the genus Acinetobacter and shares highest sequence similarity (97.12%) with A. celticus ANC 4603^T and A. sichuanensis WCHAc060041^T. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values for closely related species were below the cutoff values for species delineation (95-96% and 70%, respectively). The DNA G+C content of strain B301^T was 37.0%. The major respiratory quinone was Q-9, and the cellular fatty acids were primarily summed feature 3 (C_16:1 ω6c/C_16:1 ω7c), C_16:0, and C_18:1 ω9c. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidyl-glycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidyl-serine. The antimicrobial resistance profile of strain B301^T revealed the absence of antibiotic-resistance genes. Susceptibility to a wide range of antimicrobials, including imipenem, minocycline, ampicillin, and tetracycline, was also observed. The results of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic analyses indicate that strain B301^T represents a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter, for which the name Acinetobacter pullorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B301^T (=KACC 21653^T = JCM 33942^T).
