본 연구에서는 우리나라의 대표적 수입 곡물인 콩의 주요 교역국들의 생산, 소비, 무역 및 재고 동향과 각 국의 생산변동에 따른 조정유형 분석을 수행한 후, 이를 바탕으로 각국의 국제시장 전이효과를 계측하였다. 분석결과 최근 콩의 국제시장 전이효과가 주요 생산국인 브라질, 파라과이, 캐나다 등을 중심으로 증대되고 있으며, 대부분의 국가가 재고보다는 소비와 무역을 통해 생산변동을 조절하고 있는 것으로 나타나 국제 콩 시장의 불안정성 증가가 예상된다. 따라서 대규모 콩 수입국인 우리나라는 일정량의 국내생산기반 유지, 적절 한 재고정책의 활용, 선물시장의 활용, 수입선 다변화 등과 같은 해외조달능력의 향상을 통한 안정적인 국내 콩 수급 방안 마련이 시급한 것으로 나타났다.
The pattern of wound healing process differs markedly according to the cell types. Gingival wounds heal more rapidly without scar, however dermal wounds show collagen laid down in thick disorganized patterns and keloid formation. This h as b een s uggested t o be d ue t o the presence of d ifferent E C M components a nd c ytokines a s well a s growth factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the differential expression of genes in connection with keloid formation in gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) and dermal fibroblasts (hDFs) in response to inflammation. In this study, we investigated the differences between hGFs and hDFs in the expression and production of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), prostaglandins E2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, collagens, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) which play important roles in collagen deposition in wound healing. The hGFs and hDFs were primary cultured and allocated to arachidonic acid (AA) treatment group and control group. Protein and mRNA were extracted right after (0 hr) and 24 hr after AA treatment. At a defined concentration of AA in hGFs and hDFs, MTT assay was performed. The mRNA and protein expression levels of COX-2, TGF-β, collagen 1 and 3, MMP 1 and TIMP 1 were examined by Real-time PCR and Western blots. The amounts of PGE2 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression of COX-2 and TGF-β exhibited reduced levels in hGFs , but were increased in hDFs at 24 hr after AA treatment. Production of PGE2 was increased in hGFs and hDFs at right after AA treatment but, not changed at 24 hr after AA treatment. The protein and mRNA expression of collagen 1 and 3 were decreased in hGFs , whereas increased in hDFs at 24 hr AA treatment. Expression of MMP-1 protein was increased in hGFs at 24 hr but, was decreased in hDFs at 24 hr compared with that of control. The protein expression of TIMP-1 was decreased in hGFs but, was increased in hDFs at 24 hr compared with that of control. These observations demonstrate differential expression between gingival and dermal fibroblasts in regulation of collagenolytic capacity by extracellular matrix-associated genes in keloid formation associated with wound repair.
본 연구에서는 2000년부터 2008년 사이에 출생한 Duroc종, Landrace종 및 Yorkshire종 종돈의 총 31,455 두의 농장검정 자료를 이용하여 다형질 동물 모형과 다변량 모체효과 모형에 의한 돼지 경제형질의 유 전적 분산성분을 추정하였다. 품종별 조사된 각 형질에 있어서 다변량 모체효과 모형을 이용하여 추정된 상가적 효과에 의한 유전력이 모체효과에 의한 유전력보다 모두 높게 나타났으며, 다형질 동물 모형에서 상가적 효과만 고려했을 때의 유전력이 다변량 모체효과 모형에서 추정된 상가적 효과의 의한 유전력보 다 대부분 높게 추정되었다. 다변량 모체효과 모형을 이용하여 추정된 모체효과에 의한 육종가와 표현형 가와의 상관관계에 있어서 대부분 낮은 정(+)의 상관이거나 강한 부(-)의 상관관계를 보여 품종별 각 형 질에 있어서 모체효과를 적절히 고려하여 육종가와 표현형의 상관관계를 높인다면 보다 나은 개량을 도 모 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Thermal barrier systems have been widely investigated over the past decades, in order to enhance reliability and efficiency of gas turbines at higher temperatures. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is one of the most leading materials as the thermal barriers due to its low thermal conductivity, thermodynamic stability, and thermal compatibility with metal substrates. In this work, rare-earth oxides with pyrochlore phases for thermal barrier systems were investigated. Pyrochlore phases were successfully formed via solid-state reactions started from rare-earth oxide powders. For the heat-treated samples, thermo-physical properties were examined. These rare-oxide oxides showed thermal expansion of and thermal conductivity of 1.2~2.4 W/mK, which is comparable with the thermal properties of YSZ.
Bismuth-telluride based thermoelectric powders were fabricated by two-step planetary milling process which produces bimodal size distribution ranging . The powders were reduced in hydrogen atmosphere to minimize oxygen contents which cause degradation of thermoelectric performance by decreasing electrical conductivity. Oxygen contents were decreased from 0.48% to 0.25% by the reduction process. In this study, both the as-synthesized and the reduced powders were consolidated by the spark plasma sintering process at for 10 min at the heating rate of and then their thermoelectric properties were investigated. The sintered samples using the reduced p-type thermoelectric powders show 15% lower specific electrical resistivity () than those of the as-synthesized powders while Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity do not change a lot. The results confirmed that ZT value of thermoelectric performance at room temperature was improved by 15% due to high electric conductivity caused by the controlled oxygen contents present at bismuth telluride materials.
Sm-16.7wt%Co alloy powders were prepared by high energy ball milling under the conditions of various milling time and the content of process control agent (PCA), and their microstructure and magnetic properties were investigated to establish optimum processing conditions. The initial powders employed showed irregular shape and had a size ranging from 5 to . After milling for 5 h, the shape of powders changed to round shape and their mean powder size was approximately , which consisted of the agglomerated nano-sized particles with 15 nm in diameter. The coercivity was reduced with increasing the milling time, whereas the saturation magnetization increased. As the content of PCA increased, the powder size minutely decreased to approximately at the PCA content of 10 wt%. The XRD patterns showed that the main diffraction peaks disappeared apparently after milling, indicating the formation of amorphous structure. The measured values of coercivity were almost unchanged with increasing the content of PCA.
Two kinds of oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) 316L stainless steel were manufactured using a wet mixing process(wet) and a mechanical alloying method (MA). An MA 316L ODS was prepared by a mixing of metal powder and a mechanical alloying process. A wet 316L ODS was manufactured by a wet mixing with 316L stainless steel powder. A solution of yttrium nitrate was dried after being in the wet 316L ODS alloy. The results showed that carbon and oxygen were effectively reduced during the degassing process before the hydroisostatic process (HIP) in both alloys. It appeared that the effect of HIP treatment on increase in impact energy was pronounced in the MA 316L ODS alloy. The MA 316L ODS alloy showed a higher yield strength and a smaller elongation, when compared to the wet 316L ODS alloy. This seemed to be attributed to the enhancement of bonding between oxide and matrix particles from HIP and to the presence of a finer oxide of about 20 nm from the MA process in the MA 316L ODS alloy.
Carbon-nanotube-embedded bismuth telluride (CNT/) matrix composites were fabricated by a powder metallurgy process. Composite powders, whereby 5 vol.% of functionalized CNTs were homogeneously mixed with alloying powders, were successfully synthesized by using high-energy ball milling process. The powders were consolidated into bulk CNT/ composites by spark plasma sintering process at for 10 min. The fabricated composites showed the uniform mixing and homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in the matrix. Seebeck coefficient of CNT/ composites reveals that the composite has n-type semiconducting characteristics with values ranging to with increasing temperature. Furthermore, the significant reduction in thermal conductivity has been clearly observed in the composites. The results showed that CNT addition to thermoelectric materials could be useful method to obtain high thermoelectric performance.
