용매 존재하에서 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate와 acrylamide, N, N-dimethylamide 및 methylmethacrylate를 함량에 따라 3종류의 공중합체 수화겔막을 제조한 다음 이들 막에 알코올용질의 투과 및 분배계수를 측정하였으며, 이 측정값들을 이용하여 용질의 투과 메카니즘을 논의하였다. 수화겔막에서 유기용질의 투과계수는 그 분자의 크기에 주로 의존하였다. 그러나 수화겔막 내에 존재하는 물의 함량이 낮아지면 막에 대한 용질의 용해도가 점차 중요해짐을 또한 알 수 있었다. 분배계수의 측정 결과에 의하면 수화겔막에서의 용질의 분배는 주로 막과 용질사이에 존재하는 소수성 상호작용에 의해 조절되었다. 그리고 수화겔막에 유기용질의 확산은 전적으로 빈자리에 의존하며, 물분자와 용질 사이에 극성-편극성 및 수소결합도 부분적으로 영향을 미치나 그 정도가 아주 미약함을 확인하였다.

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.

Excellent electron transport properties with enhanced light scattering ability for light harvesting have made well-ordered one dimensional $TiO_2$ nanotube(TNT) arrays an alternative candidate over $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in the area of solar energy conversion applications. The principal drawback of TNT arrays being activated only by UV light has been addressed by coupling the TNT with secondary materials which are visible light-triggered. As well as extending the absorption region of sunlight, the introduction of these foreign components is also found to influence the charge separation and electron lifetime of TNT. In this study, a novel method to fabricate the TNT-based composite photoelectrodes employing visible responsive $CuInS_2$ (CIS) nanoparticles is presented. The developed method is a square wave pulse-assisted electrochemical deposition approach to wrap the inner and outer walls of a TNT array with CIS nanoparticles. Instead of coating as a dense compact layer of CIS by a conventional non-pulsed-electrochemical deposition method, the nanoparticles pack relatively loosely to form a rough surface which increases the surface area of the composite and results in a higher degree of light scattering within the tubular channels and hence a greater chance of absorption. The excellence coverage of CIS on the tubular $TiO_2$ allows the construction of an effective heterojunction that exhibits enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

According to the IPCC climate change scenario (A1B scenario), the surface seawater temperature of the South Sea of Korea by 2100 may be $2-3.5^{\circ}C$ higher than at present, and seawater pH may decrease from 8.1 to 7.8, due to the increase in atmospheric $CO_2$, which is predicted to increase in concentration from 380 to 750 ppm. These changes may not only intensify the strength of typhoons/storm surges but also affect the function and structure the marine ecosystem. In order to assess the impact of climate change on the marine ecosystem in Korean waters, the project named the 'Assessment of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystem in the South Sea of Korea' has been supported by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, from 2008. The goal of this project is to enhance our ability to adapt and prepare for the future environmental changes through the reliable predictions based on the knowledge obtained from projects like this. In this respect, this project is being conducted to investigate the effects of climate/marine environment changes (ocean warming and acidification), and to predict future changes of the structure and function of the ecosystem in the South Sea of Korea. This special issue contains 6 research articles, which are the highlights of the studies carried out through this project.

We have proposed a solution to multicast services and an advanced quality of service (QoS) mechanism on a packet transport system (PTS) based on PBB-TE. The point-to-multipoint (PtMP) connection in the PBB-TE system have been realized by grouping point-to-point (PtP) PTL trunks and mapping a BSI onto the PtP PTL trunks using a multicast backbone destination address. To provide end-to-end QoS of the PtMP services, the hierarchical QoS scheme for backbone service instances and connection-oriented paths has been implemented in the PTS. For providing different capabilities for service selection and priority selection, the PTS offers to customers three basic types of the port-based, C-tagged, and S-tagged service interface defined by the IEEE 802.1ah. To offer to customers different capabilities of the layer 3 applications and services, moreover, an IP-flow service interface have been added. In order to evaluate traffic performance for PtMP services in the PTS, the PtMP throughputs for the link capacity of 1 Gbps at the four service interfaces were measured in the leaves of the ingress edge node, the transit node, and the egress edge node. The throughputs were about 96 % because the B-MAC overhead of 22 bytes occupies 4% of the 512-byte packet. The QoS performance is ability to guarantee an application or a user a required bandwidth, and could be evaluated by the accuracy of policing or shaping. The accuracy of the policing scheme and the accuracy of the shaping scheme were 99% and 99.3% respectively.

This paper reviews the most important steps that have generated consistent progress in principles and developmental progress of embryo cryopreservation, and also study on freezing procedure and its application by conventional method and current improved method for freezing procedure and its appilcation of embryo cryopreservation in farm animals. Four were of particular interest: 1.The transport of water across the ccli membrane (zona pellucida) during freezing and thawing accordinglyplays a role in determing whether the celi survives. This movement of water is controlied mainly by extracellular phase changes and by the nature and concentration of any cryoprotective agent present. Therates of cooling, freezing and warming, and the intervals over which they are applied are further decisi've factors in determining whether a cryopreservation procedure allows survival after thawing. 2.The first successful deep freezing experiments with sheep morula and blastocysts during the seventies were based on the early procedures used for mouse embryos.Current research during the eighties is developed with the aim of simplifying and improving current procedures such as one-step dilution and rapid or ultra-rapid cooling by using the model of laboratory animals. 3.The conventional method for the embryo cryopreservation is described. An alternative to this method which may result in high survival and also in reducing of the freezing and thawing time is done by combing a permeable cryoprotectant such as glycerol, DMSO or propanediol and a non-permeable compound such as sucrose, trehalose, raffinose or lactose. 4.Finally a different approach to the preservation of embryos, named vitrification, is introduced. This procedure depends upon the ability of concentrated solutions of cryoprotective agents such as glycerol and propanediol to supercool to very low temperature (-196$^{\circ}C$) during rapid cooling before solidifying without formation of ice. However, more complete data are necessary for successful vitrification of blastocysts.

Sar1p is a ras-related GTP-binding protein that functions in intracellular protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex. The effector domain of Ras family proteins is highly conserved and this domain is functionally interchangeable in plant, yeast and mammalian Sar1. Using a recombinant Brassica sar1 protein (Bsar1p) harboring point mutations in its effector domain, we here investigated the ability of Sar1p to bind and hydrolyze GTP and to interact with the two sar1-specific regulators, GTPase activating protein (GAP) and guanine exchange factor (GEF). The T51A and T55A mutations impaired Bsar1p intrinsic GTP-binding and GDP-dissociation activity. In contrast, mutations in the switch domain of Bsar1 did not affect its intrinsic GTPase activity. Moreover, the P50A, P54A, and S56A mutations affected the interaction between Bsar1p and GAP. P54A mutant protein did not interact with two regulating proteins, GEF and GAP, even though the mutation didn't affect the intrinsic GTP-binding, nucleotide exchange or GTPase activity of Bsar1p.

The mechanism by which 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) bypasses cellular senescence was investigated using human diploid fibroblast (HDF) cell replicative senescence as a model. Upon TPA treatment, protein kinase C (PKC) ${\alpha}$ and $PKC{\beta}1$ exerted differential effects on the nuclear translocation of cytoplasmic pErk1/2, a protein which maintains senescence. $PKC{\alpha}$ accompanied pErk1/2 to the nucleus after freeing it from $PEA-15pS^{104}$ via $PKC{\beta}1$ and then was rapidly ubiquitinated and degraded within the nucleus. Mitogen-activated protein kinase docking motif and kinase activity of $PKC{\alpha}$ were both required for pErk1/2 transport to the nucleus. Repetitive exposure of mouse skin to TPA downregulated $PKC{\alpha}$ expression and increased epidermal and hair follicle cell proliferation. Thus, $PKC{\alpha}$ downregulation is accompanied by in vivo cell proliferation, as evidenced in 7, 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-TPA-mediated carcinogenesis. The ability of TPA to reverse senescence was further demonstrated in old HDF cells using RNA-sequencing analyses in which TPA-induced nuclear $PKC{\alpha}$ degradation freed nuclear pErk1/2 to induce cell proliferation and facilitated the recovery of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Our data indicate that TPA-induced senescence reversal and carcinogenesis promotion share the same molecular pathway. Loss of $PKC{\alpha}$ expression following TPA treatment reduces pErk1/2-activated SP1 biding to the $p21^{WAF1}$ gene promoter, thus preventing senescence onset and overcoming G1/S cell cycle arrest in senescent cells.
