  • Non-enzymatic glycosylation and fragmentation of collagen molecule were investigated by irradiating Ultraviolet A(UV-A) with or without scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of glucose. Non-enzymatic glycosylation was increased by UV-A at high concentration of glucose. It was reduced in the presence of the scavengers of superoxide radical and singlet oxygen, but not reduced in the presence of hydroxy radical scavenger. Fragmentation of collagen was increased by UV-A, but it was decreased in the presence of all ROS scavengers tested. Superoxide radical and singlet oxygen produced by autoxidation of glucose without UV-A may encounter the initial phase of glycosylation. Data presented here suggest that UV-A affects only on the fragmentation process, but all ROS except hydroxy radical act on both processes. It appears that hydroxy radical does not act on the glycosylation process.

  • 본 연구에서는 그람 양성의 호기성 유포자 세균 중 자연계에 널리 분포되어 식품에 문제를 일으키는 대표적인 균인 B. subtilis를 대상으로 365 nm UV-LED의 생육 억제 효과를 입증하였다. 또한 365 nm UV-LED 조사 시, 식품 포장재로 흔히 사용되고 있는 유리, LLD-PE, Nylon/LDPE 및 PS 등의 포장 조건에 따른 B. subtilis 생육 억제 효과를 확인하였다. 그 결과, B. subtilis의 생육 억제 효과가 가장 뛰어난 재질은 Nylon/LDPE와 LLD-PE로 확인되었고, 대조구의 생존율인 -log 5 값과 비교하여 각각의 생존율은 약 -log 2.5-2.9, -log 2.58-3.61로 나타났다. 이 때 재질의 두께가 미생물의 생육에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 관찰되었고, 포장재질에 따라 365 nm UV-LED 투과력이 다르다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 통상적으로 log 3 이상 생균수가 감소하면 99.9% 살균효과가 있는 것으로 나타낼 수 있는데, 본 연구를 통해 365 nm UV-LED가 흔히 사용되고 있는 식품 포장재를 투과하여 균의 생육 억제에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 365 nm UV-LED의 사용이 식품보존과 식품산업 분야의 응용기술로써 잠재력이 있음을 시사하는 바이다.

  • The eighteen ultraviolet light curves of Epsilon Aurigae have been plotted using the integrated fluxes reduced from the 233 IUE low dispersion spectra taken between 1978 and 1986. The times of contacts and depth of eclipse have been determined from the light curves at the wavelength from 2550 $AA$ to 3050 $AA$. The UV light curves show two brightenings during the totality, the downward slope of the variation from the second to the third contacts, and asymmetry of the eclipse light curve. The two selected spectra note that the energy density distribution is not changed between the totality of the eclipse and out-of-eclipse.

  • FIMS/SPEAR is a dual-channel far-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph on board the Korean microsatellite STSAT-1, which was launched on 2003 September 27. The primary mission goal of FIMS was to conduct a survey of diffuse far UV emissions in our Galaxy. For this purpose, FIMS completed a survey of about 84% of the sky during its operation of a year and a half. The present study aims to analyze this survey data made in the far UV wavelengths to understand the global evolution of our Galaxy. The far UV wavelength band is known to contain important cooling lines of hot gas: hence, the study will show how the hot gas in our Galaxy, produced by stellar winds and supernova explosion, evolves globally to cool down and become mixed with ambient cooler medium. One of the main findings from previous analyses of the FIMS data is that molecular hydrogen exists ubiquitously in our Galaxy. This discovery leads to another important scientific question: how is molecular hydrogen distributed in our Galaxy and how does it affect globally the evolution of our Galaxy as a cold component? Hence, the present study will cover both the hot and cold components of the ISM, which will also provide the opportunity to investigate the interactions between the two.

  • 본 연구는 자외선-B 조사(照射)가 피나무 유묘의 초기 생장에 미치는 영향을 알고자 수행되었다. 자외선-B는 유묘의 하배축 신장, 수고생장, 잎의 생장 및 엽록소 함량증가를 억제하였다. 이러한 억제 효과는 자외선-B 조사(照射)량이 증가할수록 더욱 높았다. 잎생장 감소 뿐만 아니라 형태적 변화도 나타났으며 엽장의 생장보다 엽폭의 생장이 빠르게 일어난 것이 관찰되었다. 자외선-B 처리를 받은 유묘의 1차엽 또는 2차엽에 변색, 반점, 반짝거림, 위축 또는 오그러듬의 피해증상이 관찰되었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 22.9[kV] 애자의 표면오염에 의한 자외선 영상과 거동을 통해 자외선 이미지 형태 판단법을 정의하였다. 코로나 방전에 의해 나타나는 자외선 영상은 아메바, 젤리피쉬, 썬플라워 형태 등 3가지로 나누어지며, 세부적으로는 8개의 진행 메커니즘으로 구분하였다. 전력설비가 설치된 현장에서는 즉각적으로 이 판단 방법으로 전력 설비의 열화된 부분을 찾을 수 있다. 이는 신뢰성 있는 데이터를 통해 전력설비의 열화를 판단하는 기준에 활용이 가능하다. 향후 현장진단에 적합한 기술로서의 연구가 활용될 것이다.

  • The identification of novel reagents that exert a biological ultraviolet (UV)-protective effect in skin cells represents an important strategy for preventing UV-induced skin aging. To this end, we investigated the potential protective effects of Ettlia sp. YC001 extracts against UV-induced cellular damage in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). We generated four different extracts from Ettlia sp. YC001, and found that they exhibit low cytotoxicity in NHDFs. The ethyl acetate extract of Ettlia sp. YC001 markedly decreased UVB-induced cytotoxicity. Additionally, the ethyl acetate extract significantly inhibited the production of hydrogen peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species. Moreover, it inhibited UVB-induced thymine dimers, as confirmed by luciferase assay and thymine dimer dot-blot assay. Thus, the study findings suggest Ettlia sp. YC001 extract as a novel photoprotective reagent on UVB-induced cell dysfunctions in NHDFs.

  • We present ultraviolet (UV) properties of dwarf galaxies in the Ursa Major cluster comparing with those in the Virgo cluster. We have constructed SDSS DR7/GALEX GR5 matched optical/UV catalog for dwarf galaxies with various morphologies in these two clusters. Membership of galaxies belonging to the Ursa Major cluster was made by hierarchical grouping method using SDSS spectroscopic data. We classified morphologies of dwarf galaxies using the combination of visual inspection of the images and spectral features returned from SDSS data. In contrast to the case of the Virgo cluster, majority of dwarf galaxies in the Ursa Major cluster lies in the blue cloud of the UV color-magnitude relations (CMRs) implying strong recent or on-going star formation. We discuss the cluster environment on the star formation history and evolution of dwarf galaxies.
