A numerical study was conducted on a simplified model of a high-temperature solar receiver which incorporates liquid-metal heat pipe. The objective of this paper is to compare the isothermal characteristics of the heat pipe receiver with the conventional receiver utilizing convection of molten salt as heat carrier. The solar receiver was assumed to be subject to a concentration ratio between 50 and 1,000 to supply high-temperature heat to a stirling engine for electric power generation. For simplicity of the analysis, a cylindrical geometry was assumed and typical dimensions were used based on available literature. The heat pipe had a shape of double-walled cavity and the working fluid was a sodium. The analysis was performed assuming that the radiation heat flux on the inner walls of the receiver was uniform, since the focus of this study was laid on the comparison of the conventional type and heat pipe type receiver. The results showed that the heat pipe type exhibited superior performance when the operating temperature becomes higher. In addition, to explore the advantage of the heat pipe receiver, the channel shape and dimensions should be adjusted to increase the heat transfer area between the wall and the heat trnasfer medium.

Solar cell and nanofiltration membrane were utilized in a system of enzymatic hydrogen production through light-sensitized photoanode, which resembles photoelectrochemical(PEC) configuration. Solar cell uses no additional light energy to increase energy for electrons to reduce protons and for holes to oxidize water to oxygen, and nanofiltration membrane replaces a salt bridge successfully with increased ion transport capability. With this system configuration, optimized amount of enzyme(10.98 unit), and an anodized tubular $TiO_2$ electrode($5^{\circ}C$/1 hr in 0.5 wt% HF-$650^{\circ}C$/5 hr) hydrogen evolved at a rate of ca. $43\;{\mu}mol/(cm^2{\times}hr)$ in a cathodic compartment and oxygen generated at a rate of ca. $20\;{\mu}mol/(cm^2{\times}hr)$ in an anodic compartment. The stoichiometric evolution of gases indicated that water was splitted in the system.

Seasonal changes of the soil nutrient contents and aboveground biomass, relationship between the soil nutrients and the productivity, and the net efficiencies of solar energy conversion were studied in two reeed communities (Phragmites communis Trin.) at the salt marsh in the estuary of the Sumjin-River from April 30 to October 9, 1981. The inorganic nutrients such as exchangeable sodium and potassium of soil were decreased during growing season. The amounts of organic matter, exchangeable sodium and potassium, total nitrogen, and available phosphorus in stand $\prod$ were much more than those of stand $\coprod$ . Productivity of Phragmites communis was positively correlated with the soil nutrients such as available phosphorus, exchangeable potassium and total nitrogen. The maximum dry matter productions of the aboveground parts in stand $\prod$ stand $\coprod$ were $ 1, 120g/m^2; and; 843g/m^2$ in August, and the net coversion efficiencies of PhAR based on growing season (April to September) were 1.77% and 1.33%, respectively.

Since the discovery of the Loeb-Sourirajan reverse osmosis membrane, thirty years have passed and many membrane technologies and new membranes for applications have been developed in the world. In the early stage of these developments Japan has not contributed much, but from the middle of 70ties Japan has started its own R&D projects starting from the desalination technology, and now various private industries and government ministries are actively engaging in R & D of membrane technologies in Japan. In Table 1 the chronological developments of important events of developments and projects relating membrane technologies inside and outside of Japan are introduced and their details will be explained. The first membrane technology applied in the Japanese industry was a electrodialysis(ED) process using ion-exchange membranes. These membranes were first developed in early 50ties and the Japanese government decided to use this method for concentration of sea-water to produce salt, which was then produced by solar evaporation. This development program started from 1960 by the Japan Monopoly Corp.(at that time). To apply ED process for sea-water concentration it was necessary to develop ion-exchange membranes having very low electric resistance to avoid energy loss due to Joule heat, and those having selectivity to permeate single valent ions only to avoid scale formation in the ED stacks. Three Japanese companies, Asahi Glass, Asahi Chemical and Tokuyama Soda, have succeeded to develop such membranes, and until 1971 all of the seven salt manufacturing companies had adopted ED for production of food salt.

본 연구는 함초를 이용한 응용제품의 하나로 자연발효된 함초발효액에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자, 함초와 당을 혼합하여 2년 혹은 6년간 발효시킨 다음 여과하여 얻어진 여액을 상온에서 자연 발효시키며 함초발효액의 이화학적 특성 및 생리활성을 조사하였다. 함초발효액의 당 함량은 45%내외로 이는 당침출에 의한 제조 방법 때문이며, Na을 제외한 주요 무기질은 K, Mg 그리고 Ca으로, 그중 K 함량이 가장 높게 나타났다. 주요 유리아미노산은 alanine, proline, aspartic acid 그리고 lysine으로, 이들 일반성분들의 발효기간에 따른 차이는 거의 없었다. 총페놀성 화합물 함량은 약 50 CAE mg/100 mL이고, DPPH와 ABTS$^+$ radical-scavenging 활성은 ascorbic acid와 거의 유사할 정도의 활성을 보였다. 또한 함초발효액은 ACE 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase에 대해서도 저해 활성을 보였으며, 특히 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성은 장기 발효된 함초발효액(LFGJ)에서 좀 더 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 이에 장기 발효된 함초발효액(LFGJ)을 4%의 고염식이군 실험쥐(SD rat)에 급여한 결과, 일반적인 특성은 대조군(4% 고염식이군)과 차이가 없었으나, 함초발효액군(FGJ; 4% 고염식이+2% LFGJ)의 체중증가량이 통계적 유의성은 없었으나 더 낮은 경향을 보였고, 포도당 내성 실험 결과, 함초발효액군(FGJ)에서 포도당 내성이 더 개선되는 것으로 조사되었다.

우리나라 버섯 생산량의 약 80%를 차지하는 느타리버섯(Pleurotus ostreatus)의 유통 중에 발생하는 갈변을 방지하기 위한 기초 조사로 갈변원인 효소인 polyphenol oxidase(PPO)를 분리 정제하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 느타리버섯으로부터 3개의 PPO isoforms(PO-I, PO-II-1, PO-II-2)을 분리하였으며, gel-filteration을 이용한 분자량 확인 결과 PO-II-1은 void volume(70 kDa), PO-I과 PO-II-2는 include volume(6 kDa)에서 분리되는 것으로 보아 PO-II-1은 70 kDa 이상, PO-I과 PO-II-2는 6 kDa 이하인 것으로 확인되었다. 분리된 3개의 PPO isoform들을 partially denatured-PAGE 후, activity staining을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 비록 이들 PPO isoforms PO-II-1과 PO-II-2에 다수의 단백질들이 들어있기는 하지만 PPO 활성을 보이는 band가 하나로 나타남으로써 분리된 PPO isoform들이 실제 PPO 활성을 갖고 있는 단백질로 확인되었으며 다른 PPO isoform이 혼합되지 않은 단일 PPO isoform으로 분리되었음을 알 수 있다. Hydrophobic interaction chromatography에서 분리된 isoform PO를 이용하여 특성을 조사한 결과 최적 반응온도와 pH는 일반적인 다른 과채류와는 달리 $50{\sim}55^{\circ}C$, pH 5.5에서 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, 열 안정성 실험에 있어서는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 45분간 가열 처리 시 약 40%의 PPO activity가 남아있는 반면, $80^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 가열 처리 시 PPO가 완전히 불 활성화되었다. 그리고 chlorogenic acid와 pyrogallol에 대하여 높은 기질 특이성을 보였다.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the effects of abalone in reducing blood pressure and increasing anti-coagulant capacity. The serum angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) activities of rats on an abalone-supplemented diet did not significantly differ from the ACE levels of rats on a normal diet, at any time (before the experiment, or 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks, after commencement of the abalone diet) during the experiment. This result showed that abalone-supplemented diets had no effect on the activity of ACE, which controls blood pressure. To determine if an abalone-containing diet might increase anti-coagulant capacity, both prothrombin (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) levels were measured. The PT levels of control rats remained constant throughout the experiment. In rats fed the abalone-containing diet, PT levels increased with time, and the increase became statistically significant after 2 weeks, when compared to pre-trial PT levels. Control rats showed no significant change in APTT levels over time. The rats fed abalone, however, showed significant differences in APTT levels. Specifically, when pre-trial APTT levels were compared with 4-week levels, and when 1-week levels were compared with 4-week levels, the differences attained statistical significance. These results indicate that an abalone-supplemented diet may inhibit blood coagulation in normal rats. The results of this study prove the inherent health value of abalone, and may encourage investment in the seafood industry. Future studies will explore other possible beneficial effects of abalone, apart from the anti-hypertension and anti-coagulant effects examined above.
