Here, as-synthesized $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles were incorporated into the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) lattice to activate sodium percarbonate (SPC) for degradation of methylene blue (MB). The reaction rate constant of $Fe_3O_4@ZIF-8/SPC$ process ($0.0632min^{-1}$) at acidic conditions (pH = 3) was more than six times that of the $Fe_3O_4/SPC$ system ($0.009min^{-1}$). Decreasing the solute concentration, along with increasing SPC concentration and $Fe_3O_4@ZIF-8$ nanocomposite (NC) dosage, favored the catalytic degradation of MB. The $Fe_3O_4@ZIF-8$ NC after fifteen consecutive treatment processes showed the excellent stability with a negligible drop in the efficiency of the system (<10%). The reaction pathway was obtained via GC-MS analysis.

The extraction of lactic acid by an emulsion liquid membrane (ELM), in batch and continuous mode, has been reported. On the basis of preliminary experiments, the optimum composition of the organic phase (membrane) is determined. When the SPan 80 is used as surfactant, the emulsion breakage exceeds 50%, but only 10% is obtained when the ECA4360 is used. The effects of surfactant, carrier and solute concentrations, phase volume ratio, and stirring speed on the extraction yield were examined and optimized. Surfactant, carrier and diluent used were ECA4360, trilaurylamine (TLA) and dodecane, respectively; 2-ethylhexane-1,3-diol (EHD) is used as a co-surfactant. Under optimal conditions, emulsion breaking is very low and the swelling is kept at its lowest level. Under the pH conditions of fermentation medium, the extraction yield is lower. A mixer-settler continuous system was used for testing these conditions. The residence time, the number of extraction stages and the stability of the emulsion were studied and optimized. The extraction yield obtained exceeds 90%.

$ C_{18}$ 및 Phenyl 컬럼에서 메탄올-물 및 아세토니트릴-물 혼합액을 이동상으로 하여 21종의 페놀일치환체들의 머무름을 조사하여 치환기가 머무름에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 아미노페놀을 제외한 모든 시료의 머무름은 Phenyl 컬럼보다 $ C_{18}$컬럼에서 더 컸으며, 두 이동상에 대해서는 물의 부피퍼센트가 같을때 메탄올계에서 더 컸다. 일반적으로 일치환 페놀류의 파라 이성질체는 메타 이성질체보다 빨리 용리되었고, 오르토와 메타 이성질체 사이에서는 용리순서가 치환기의 극성에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 페놀 일치환체들의 머무름은 시료와 미반응된 실란올과의 상호작용의 영향을 받는대 이러한 미반응된 실란올의 영향은 치환기의 hydrogen bonding acceptor basicity(${\beta}$)가 클수록 크게 나타났고 Phenyl 컬럼보다 $ C_{18}$ 컬럼에서 이들의 영향이 크게 나타났다. 시료의 van der Waals volume(VWV)과 ${\beta}$값을 함께 고려한 파라미터 (1.01VWV/100-1.84${\beta}$)와 시료의 머무름(log k')과는 좋은 직선관계가 있다. 따라서 $ C_{18}$ 및 Phenyl 컬럼에서 페놀 일치환체들의 머무름은 시료의 (1.01VWV/100-1.84${\beta}$)값으로 쉽게 예측할 수 있음을 알았다.

The aim is to investigate the spectra responsibilities of QD (Quantum Dot) for the innovation of new dosimetry application for therapeutic Megavoltage X-ray range. The unique electrical and optical properties of QD are expected to make it a good sensing material for dosimeter. This study shows the spectra responsibility of toluene based ZnCd QD and PPO (2.5-diphenyloxazol) mixed liquid scintillator. The QDs of 4 sizes corresponding to an emission wavelength (ZnCdSe/ZnS:$440{\pm}5nm$, ZnCdSeS:470, 500, $570{\pm}5nm$) were utilized. A liquid scintillator for control sample was made of toluene, PPO. The Composition of QD loaded scintillators are about 99 wt% Toluene as solvent, 1 wt% of PPO as primary scintillator and 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 wt% of QDs as solute. For the spectra responsibility of QD scintillation, they were irradiated for 30 second with 6 MV beam from a LINAC ($Infinity^{TM}$, Elekta). With the guidance of 1.0 mm core diameter optical fiber, scintillation spectrums were measured by a compact CCD spectrometer which could measure 200~1,000 nm wavelength range (CCS200, Thorlabs). We measured the spectra responsibilities of QD loaded organic liquid scintillators in two scintillation mechanisms. First was the direct transfer and second was using wave shifter. The emission peaks from the direct transfer were measured to be much smaller luminescent intensity than based on the wavelength shift from the PPO to QDs. The emission peak was shifted from PPO emission wavelength 380 nm to each emission wavelength of loaded QD. In both mechanisms, 500 nm QD loaded samples were observed to radiate in the highest luminescence intensity. We observed the spectra responsibility of QD doped toluene based liquid scintillator in order to innovate QD dosimetry applicator. The liquid scintillator loading 0.2 wt% of 500 nm emission wavelength QD has most superior responsibility at 6 MV photon beam. In this study we observed the spectra responsibilities for therapeutic X-ray range. It would be the first step of innovating new radiation dosimetric methods for radiation treatment.

염습지와 사구지역에 생육하는 해안식물의 생리생태학적 특성을 이해하기 위하여 무기이온($Ca^{2+},\;Na^+,\;K^+,\;Mg^{2+},\;Cl^-$)과 유기용질(수용성 당, glycine betaine)을 정량적으로 측정하였다. 명아주과 식물(가는갯능쟁이, 퉁퉁마디, 솔장다리, 나문재, 칠면초)은 $K^+$이온 대신에 $Na^+$이온과 $Cl^-$이온을 축적하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 교란지에 서식하는 좀명아주는 다른 명아주과 식물에 비해 $Na^+$이온 대신에 높은 $K^+$이온을 함유하였다. 조사된 대부분의 명아주과 식물은 체내 수용성 $Ca^{+2}$이온의 함량이 낮고, 비교적 소량의 수용성 당을 함유하였으며, glycine betaine을 다량 함유하였다. 이와는 대조적으로 단자엽에 속하는 벼과(갯쇠보리, 갈대, 갯잔디)와 사초과(통보리사초, 좀보리사초)의 식물은 $Na^+$와 $Cl^-$이온을 효과적으로 배제하여 체내 낮은 함량을 유지하였으며, 또한 $K^+$이온을 선호하며, 명아주과 식물보다 더 많은 당을 삼투물질로 축적하였다. 결론적으로, 명아주과식물은 무기이온과 glycine betaine을 축적하고, 단자엽식물은 $K^+$이온과 수용성 당을 축적하는 효과적인 이온조절을 통해 염습지 및 사구지역에 적응하는 것으로 여겨진다.

Optimal conditions for the supercritical carbon dioxide $(scCO_{2})$ extraction of glycyr­rhizin from licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) were investigated, with an emphasis on the types and levels of modifiers. The morphology of the licorice tissue remaining after the $scCO_{2} $ extraction of glycyrrhizin was examined by scanning electron microscopy, coupled with measurements of ab­solute density. Conventional organic solvent extraction was also carried out for purpose of quantitative comparison. At 50 MPa and $60^{circ}C$ glycyrrhizin could not be extracted with pure $scCO_{2}$, while a considerable amount of glycyrrhizin was extracted when water was added to $scCO_{2}$ as a modifier. The highest recovery was found to be about $97\%$ when $70\%$ aqueous methanol was added to $scCO_{2}$ at a concentration of $15\%$. The optimal pressure and temperature for the supercritical fluid extraction of glycyrrhizin were observed to be 30 M Pa and $60^{circ}C$, respectively. Under these conditions, the percentage recovery of glycyrrhizin attained a maximum value of 102.67\pm$ $1.13\%$ within 60 min. Furthermore, in the case of $scCO_{2}$ modified with $70\%$ aqueous methanol, the licorice tissue obtained after extraction was found to be severely de­graded by excessive swelling, and the absolute density of the licorice residues was observed to be the highest.

불포화토양내 물의 흐름과 유기오염물질의 이동현상을 예측하기 위해서는 불포화토양의 토양수분곡선을 구하는 것이 필수적이다. 입자크기분포로부터 토양수분곡선을 직접 구하는 물리경험적 방법이 많은 연구자들에 의해 제안되고 적용되어왔다. 이 방법은 공극크기분포가 직접적으로 입자크기분포와 상호 연관되어있다는 개념을 이용한 것으로, 입자크기분포곡선을 산정하는 방법이 토양수분곡선추정에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 Arya-Paris 모형을 이용한 토양수분곡선 추정이 어떠한 입자크기분포모형을 선택하는가에 따라 영향을 받는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 1∼4의 추정변수를 갖는 4개의 입자분포곡선 모형을 사용한 결과 단지 1개의 추정변수를 갖는 Jaky모형이 더 많은 추정변수를 가진 모형보다 토양수분곡선을 잘 예측하였다. Jaky모형의 우월한 예측력은 아마도 현장토양이 가지는 구조적 특성 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Among solute carrier proteins, the organic anion transporters (OATs) play an important role for the elimination or reabsorption of endogenous and exogenous negatively charged anionic compounds. Among OATs, SLC22A9 (hOAT7) transports estrone sulfate with high affinity. The net decrease of estrogen, especially in post-menopausal women induces rapid bone loss. The present study was performed to search the SNP within exon regions of SLC22A9 in Korean females with osteoporosis. Fifty healthy controls and 50 osteoporosis patients were screened for the genetic polymorphism in the coding region of SLC22A9 using GC-clamped PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Six SNPs were found on the SLC22A9 gene from Korean women with/without osteoporosis. The SNPs were located as follows: two SNPs in the osteoporosis group (A645G and T1277C), three SNPs in the control group (G1449T, C1467T and C1487T) and one SNP in both the osteoporosis and control groups (G767A). The G767A, T1277C and C1487T SNPs result in an amino acid substitution, from synonymous vs nonsynonymous substitution arginine to glutamine (R256Q), phenylalanine to serine (F426S) and proline to leucine (P496L), respectively. The Km values and Vmax of the wild type, R256Q, P496L and F426S were 8.84, 8.87, 9.83 and $12.74{\mu}M$, and 1.97, 1.96, 2.06 and 1.55 pmol/oocyte/h, respectively. The present study demonstrates that the SLC22A9 variant F426S is causing inter-individual variation that is leading to the differences in transport of the steroid sulfate conjugate (estrone sulfate) and, therefore this could be used as a marker for certain disease including osteoporosis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate a single step genome-wide association study (ssGWAS) for identifying genomic regions affecting reproductive traits in Landrace and Large White pigs. Methods: The traits included the number of pigs weaned per sow per year (PWSY), the number of litters per sow per year (LSY), pigs weaned per litters (PWL), born alive per litters (BAL), non-productive day (NPD) and wean to conception interval per litters (W2CL). A total of 321 animals (140 Landrace and 181 Large White pigs) were genotyped with the Illumina Porcine SNP 60k BeadChip, containing 61,177 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), while multiple traits single-step genomic BLUP method was used to calculate variances of 5 SNP windows for 11,048 Landrace and 13,985 Large White data records. Results: The outcome of ssGWAS on the reproductive traits identified twenty-five and twenty-two SNPs associated with reproductive traits in Landrace and Large White, respectively. Three known genes were identified to be candidate genes in Landrace pigs including retinol binding protein 7, and ubiquitination factor E4B genes for PWL, BAL, W2CL, and PWSY and one gene, solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 6A1, for LSY and NPD. Meanwhile, five genes were identified to be candidate genes in Large White, two of which, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3 and leucine rich repeat kinase 1, associated with all of six reproduction traits and three genes; retrotransposon Gag like 4, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 5, and LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 1 for five traits except W2CL. Conclusion: The genomic regions identified in this study provided a start-up point for marker assisted selection and estimating genomic breeding values for improving reproductive traits in commercial pig populations.
