During a field survey of Korean marine ciliates, we collected Pleuronema marinum from a brackish water sample. It is characterized by the presence of a contractile vacuole in mid-body, rather than the subterminal/ terminal contractile vacuole as in other congeners. The cells were examined in vivo and based on protargol and 'wet' silver nitrate impregnation. In addition, the nuclear 18S rRNA gene was sequenced using a single cell. The Korean population morphologically and molecularly resembles a Chinese population of P. marinum. Historical review of the species concludes that 1) two or more species have been assigned into P. marinum, 2) the position of contractile vacuole (e.g., in mid-body) is a valid character state, and 3) P. marinum is probably a rare species. Here we provide a monographic treatment of P. marinum to clarify the issue and for further studies of relevant species. Considering there are about 40 nominal species and complex nomenclatural acts in the genus Pleuronema, further studies should provide descriptions based on protargol and 'wet' silver impregnation with marker gene(s).

진공가압 수지함침 처리에 의한 목재의 휨강도, 경도 및 내마모성 향상을 위하여 침엽수 3수종에 수용성 멜라민 수지를 수지농도와 처리시간별로 진공가압 처리한 후 수지함침 열압축목재(compreg)를 제조한 다음 물성을 검토하였다. 또한 같은 수종에 수용성 난연제를 도포처리하는 방법과 진공가압 후 열압처리 방법으로 제조한 다음 난연성 향상정도를 측정하였다. 수지의 농도가 높을수록 휨강도 및 브리넬 경도는 증가하였고 내마모성은 향상되었으나, 처리시간과는 일정한 경향이 없었다. 난연성은 도포시험편 보다 진공가압처리 시험편이 총 방출열량이 감소하여 진공가압처리에 의한 난연성 개선 방법이 효과가 있었다.

This study is a continuation of our previous work, which focused on the resistance of jabon wood to termites after impregnation with wood vinegar (WV) and animal-based adhesive (kak). This paper presents the physicomechanical properties of fast-growing jabon wood impregnated with kak at two concentrations (8% and 10%) in wood vinegar or water as a solvent with and without 4% borax. The physical properties of the impregnation solution, that is, viscosity, density, pH, and solid content, were evaluated according to SNI 06-4567-1998. Some physical parameters, such as weight percent gain (WPG), density, water uptake, anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), crystallinity, and mechanical properties, i.e., modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and compression strength parallel to the grain (CS), of the impregnated wood were determined. Based on these results, wood impregnated using a mixture of kak in WV presented better physical (increased WPG, density, dimensional stability, and crystallinity) and mechanical (increased MOE/MOR and compression strength) properties than wood impregnated with a water solvent or untreated wood. The wood impregnated using WV and water solvent improved the physical and mechanical properties. The density of the wood increased by 44%-58% and 32%-47%, ASE radial-tangential increased by 38%-45%; 15%-28% after 24 h of water immersion, crystallinity increased by 59%-74%; 36%, MOE increased by 46%-57%; 28%-31%, MOR increased by 29%-34%; 14%-27%, and compression strength increased by 40%-76%; 38%-72% values to untreated wood.

본 연구에서는 원시 활성탄에 질산을 이용한 산 처리 또는 LiOH를 첨착한 후, 이에 대한 이산화탄소의 흡착 특성을 수분의 공존 유, 무 상태에서 고정층 파과 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 질산 처리 및 LiOH 첨착에 따른 활성탄의 표면 성상 및 물리, 화학적 특성은 SEM, EDS, 질소 흡착, FTIR, XRD를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 질산 처리로 인해 원시 활성탄의 비표면적은 감소하였지만 활성탄 표면에서 산소 함량은 증가하였으며, 질산의 산화 반응으로 활성탄 표면에 탄소 및 산소 외에 질소를 포함한 새로운 관능기가 생성되었다. LiOH 첨착으로 인한 비표면적의 감소 폭은 질산 처리한 활성탄이 원시 활성탄에 비해 작게 나타났다. LiOH를 2 wt% 이상으로 첨착하면 상당 부분의 LiOH가 활성탄 세공 내부에 들어가지 못하고 외부 표면에 존재하였다. 고정층 파과 실험을 통해 질산 처리 및 LiOH 첨착량 증가에 따라 활성탄의 이산화탄소 흡착 성능은 향상되었다. 또한 공급가스 내에 수분이 공존함에 따라 이산화탄소 흡착량이 증가하였다. LiOH가 첨착된 활성탄에서 이산화탄소 흡착 후 LiOH는 화학반응에 의해 $Li_2CO_3$로 전환함을 확인하였다.

최근 탄소중립과 관련하여 연소 시 이산화탄소 배출이 없어 청정한 수소에너지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 수소 생산에 관련된 연구가 계속되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 폐기물을 처리함과 동시에 고순도 수소를 생산하기 위해 폐기물 유래 합성가스를 수성가스전이반응에 적용하였다. 마그네슘을 세륨과 함께 지지체로 사용하여 고온수성가스전이(HT-WGS)반응에서 촉매의 활성을 향상시키고자 하였다. HT-WGS 반응의 활성물질로 구리를 사용해 Cu-CeO₂-MgO 촉매를 제조하였으며, 제조방법에 따른 촉매활성 연구를 진행하였다. HT-WGS 반응 결과 함침법으로 제조된 Cu-CeO₂-MgO 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, 이는 가장 높은 산소 저장능과 많은 활성 Cu 종을 가지는 특성에 기인한 결과이다.

The measurements were performed to assess the insulation deterioration condition of the stator winding of Dae-Cheong hydro-generator #2 which had been in service after being constructed 1980. After repair of the stator winding insulation, we conducted insulation diagnostic tests which include resistance, polarization index(P.I), AC current, dissipation factor($Tan\delta$) and partial discharges ($Q_{max}$). The results of diagnostic tests were compared to the previous records. On the basis of these test results, this paper tried to present the importance of insulation repair for the generator stator winding.

The structural and physicochemical properties of dried aloe vera gel by DIS (dewatering impregnation soaking) process under optimum conditions were investigated. FT-IR spectra for dried samples of DIS aloes showed the typical patterns of standard aloe polysaccharide, and surface structures by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) were similar to a gel-like structure. In case of physicochemical properties of dried aloe samples by DIS process, solubilities and swelling powers of control (not osmotic treated aloe), DIS (S) and DIS (G), samples treated by osmotic solution of 60% sucrose/0.25% NaCl and 50% glucose/0.5% NaCl, were 48.3-57.3% and 8.3-11.7%, respectively, showing no significant differences among samples, but swelling power of DIS (PEG), sample treated by using 50% polyethylene glycol as an osmotic agent was about 5 times higher that of control. Also, water holding capacities of control, DIS (S) and DIS (G) were similar to each other, but that of DIS (PEG) was about 5 times higher that of control. Oil holding capacities of control and DIS aloes maintained the 50.9-86.4% levels of water holding capacities showing no significant differences among samples. Rehydration ratio of DIS (PEG) aloes were significantly dependent on the temperature of rehydrated solvent (water), and rehydration ratio of not-fileted aloe was about two folds higher than that of fileted aloe.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the treatment effect of PEG soln which is a common dimensional stabilizer to green log. sawing panel etc, on bonding product including plywood widely-used in secondary processing unit. The 30% concentration of aqueous PEG soln. with molecular weight of 400, 1.000 and 4,000 were prepared respectively, and also dipping the veneer in the PEG soln. spreading the PEG soln. on veneer and mixing the PEG soln. in the adhesive were allowed. Then the ratio of PEG impregnation on veneer, the adhesive strength of plywood were epitomized as follows: The ratio of impregnation by PEG 4,000 at dipping condition was highest. while that by PEG 400 at same condition was lowest. However, the effect of PEG molecular weight on the ratio of impregnation at spreading condition did not occur. 2. The adhesive strength was great in the order of 4,000>400>1,000 in molecular weight of PEG at dipping and spreading conditions. In case of mixing the PEG soln. in the adhesive, the adhesive strength was great in the order of 400>1,000>4,000 in molecular weight of PEG. Throughout three treatment conditions, PEG 400 was relatively favourable with about 10kg/$cm^2$ dry strength. 3. The adhesive strength was great 10 the order of spreading >dipping >mixing condition. 4. Although adhesive strength with the 30% concentration of aqueous PEG soln. was decreased by 35% and over, compared to control (non-treatment) adhesive strength, all types of PEG treatment except mixing the PEG soln. in the adhesive exceeded the standard dry strength for common use panel. 7.5kg/$cm^2$. 5. In warm water-proof test, the adhesive strengths by all PEG treatment conditions were less than the standard wet strength, 7.5kg cot, and also delamination of glue line occured mostly in mixing in the PEG soln. in the adhesive condition.

The novel Aloe gels were prepared with dewatering and impregnation by soaking (DIS) processing of Aloe vera leaf slice at four different temperatures (25, 35, 45 and $55^{\circ}C$), using dehydration solution of 40% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG4000). The PEG-impregnation to Aloe vera leaf slice during DIS was observed depending on immersion temperature, and the PEG-impregnated Aloe vera gel (PEG-i-AVG) obtained was characterized using $^1H$ NMR, FT-IR, GPC, XRD and TGA. The PEG-i-AVG had the higher levels of Aloe bioactives (glucomannan and O-acetyl contents) and better quality indices by $^1H$ NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy than those of native Aloe gel. Also, the obtained Aloe gel maintained the bimodal patterns in higher molecular weight region by GPC indicating no degradation of polysaccharide from native Aloe gel. The result observed by SEM confirmed a surface modification by forming the porous structure, and TGA result exhibited better thermal stability than that of native Aloe gel. XRD result revealed that the crystalline structure in Aloe gel was led by incorporation of PEG. Significant decrease of %insolubility and high enhancement of water solubility index were observed, respectively, and highly ordered conformation such as a helix structure was also indicated by Congo red reaction. We concluded that the modification effect for enhancing function of native Aloe gel was successfully obtained by DIS process using PEG as a dehydrating agent. These results suggested that this DIS process had a high potential for developing a new minimally processed product from Aloe vera leaf.
