본 논문은 서해 군산분지 퇴적층 내에서 발견되는 다양한 화성암들을 탄성파 반사상에 따라 분류하고 그 공간 적 분포 양상을 도시하는 과정에 대해 상술한다. 연구지역인 서해 대륙붕 군산분지의 북동소분지, 남서소분지, 남동소분 지 내에서 총 6종류의 분출 화성암 반사상과 3종류의 관입 화성암 반사상이 중생대 후기 백악기, 신생대 에오세 및 전 기 마이오세, 신생대 제4기 층에서 발견되었다. 분출 화성암은 그 크기, 외형, 내부 층리구조에 따라 (1) 높이 200 m 이 하의 고깔형 화산체들로 1회성 단성화산 분화를 통해 형성된 것으로 추정되는 단성화산체(E.mono), (2) 단성화산체들이 모여 높이 500m 이내의 하나의 화산체를 형성하는 단성화산복합체(E.comp), (3) 높이 1 km 이상 직경 15 km 이상으 로 내부에 복수의 층이 인지되는 성층화산체(E.strato), (4) 기반암 저지대의 정단층 주변에서 고반사 특성을 보이는 열 극 분출암(E.fissure), (5) 저각 사면부와 내부에 직경 약 2 km 화도 구조를 보여주는 마르-다이아트림(E.maar), (6) 퇴적 층을 교란하는 직경 1 km 이내 파이프형 구조를 갖는 열수분출공(E.vent)으로 구성된다. 관입 화성암은 상부 퇴적층의 변형구조를 통해 인지되며, (1) 수평형, 계단형, 종지형 등 다양한 수직/수평 관입 기하를 나타내는 암맥 및 암상(I.dike/ sill), (2) 직경 1-3 km의 뿔 또는 기둥 모양 관입암체인 화성암주(I.stock), (3) 상부 퇴적층을 광범위하게 변형시키는 폭 10 km 이상의 관입암체인 저반/병반(I.batho/lac)으로 구성된다. 분출 화성암은 주로 군산분지 남서소분지 내 백악기 및 신생대 고제3기 에오세 층 내에서 인지되며, 관입암체는 주로 남동 및 남서 소분지 내에서 발견된다. 열수분출공은 군 산분지 전역에서 발견되며 활동시기는 전반적으로 중기 마이오세 이후로 일부는 현재까지 활동중인 것으로 보인다.

3D 프린팅의 적층제조를 위한 시멘트 모르타르의 이용은 시멘트의 유동 특성을 개질하기 위한 시멘트 혼화용 폴리 머의 혼입이 필수적이다. 시멘트 모르타르는 점성이 높고 수축이 크기 때문에 적층제조를 위해서는 유동성, 경화속도, 시공성 및 적층특성의 개선이 필요하다. 시멘트 혼화용 폴리머 디스퍼젼을 혼입한 시멘트 모르타르는 시멘트 수화물과 공극 사이에 폴 리머 필름이 상호 형성되어 인장강도와 취성이 개선되며 우수한 접착성, 기밀성, 내약품성을 보인다. 최근, 사용편리성이 우수한 Ethylene-vinyl acetate 재유화형 분말수지가 널리 사용된다. 하지만 화재와 같은 고온에서는 재유화형 분말수지를 혼입한 경우에 는 성능저하가 더 크다. 재유화형 분말수지가 시멘트 수화물과 공극에 폴리머 필름을 형성하고 충전하지만 고온에 의해 열분해 되기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 3D 프린팅의 적층제조를 위해 내열성이 개선된 Ethylene-vinyl chloride 재유화형 분말수지의 혼입률을 달리하여 고온에서의 특성과 열분해에 따른 공극특성을 검토하였다. 연구결과, EVCL 재유화형 분말수지를 혼입한 경우 고온에서 약간의 성능개선을 보였지만 열분해하여 공극률이 커지며, 밀도, 강도가 감소한다. 따라서, 사용조건에 적합한 배합조절 등이 필요하다.

MgO based cement for the low-temperature calcination of magnesite required less energy and emitted less CO2 than the manufacturing of Portland cements. Furthermore, adding reactive MgO to Portland-pozzolan cement can improve their performance and also increase their capacity to absorb atmospheric CO2. In this study, the basic research for magnesia cement using MgCO3 and magnesium silicate ore (serpentine) as starting materials was carried out. In order to increase the hydration activity, MgCO3 and serpentinite were fired at a temperature higher than 600˚C. In the case of MgCO3 as starting material, hydration activity was highest at 700˚C firing temperature; this MgCO3 was completely transformed to MgO after firing. After the hydration reaction with water, MgO was totally transformed to Mg(OH)2 as hydration product. In the case of using only MgCO3, compressive strength was 35 kgf/cm2 after 28 days. The addition of silica fume and Mg(OH)2 led to an enhancements of the compressive strength to 55 kgf/cm2 and 50 kgf/cm2, respectively. Serpentine led to an up to 20% increase in the compressive strength; however, addition of this material beyond 20% led to a decrease of the compressive strength. When we added MgCl2, the compressive strength tends to increase.

One of the trace constituents included in cement clinker, chromium, has become prominent and highly noticed lately as a social issue both inside and outside of this country because it affects the human body negatively. The purpose of the present study was to investigate leaching properties of water-soluble hexavalent chromium by different manufacturing conditions of cement clinker. Raw materials were prepared to add different SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 sources. After the raw materials, such as limestone, sand and clay, iron ore was pulverized and mixed, and the raw meal was burnt at 1450˚C in a furnace with an oxidizing atmosphere. Leaching of soluble hexavalent chromium showed a tendency to decrease with an increasing LSF and IM. However, leaching of soluble hexavalent chromium increased with an increasing S.M. Alkali contents of iron source minerals is closely related to the leaching properties of soluble hexavalent chromium. Green sludge has the highest content of alkali added; leaching of water-soluble hexavalent chromium was mostly high. In order to reduce the water-soluble hexavalent chromium in cement, reducing the alkali content in raw materials is important.

Since it was developed by Joseph Aspdin, cement has been a common construction materials up to the present time.However, there are trace constituents in cement clinker. One of the trace constituents included in cement clinker, chromium,has become prominent and highly noticed lately as a social issue both inside and outside of this country because it affects thehuman body negatively. The aim of the present study was to investigate the concentration of water-soluble hexavalent chromiumin cement clinker by using industrial by-products. For that reason, raw materials were prepared to add different SiO2 , Al2O3,and Fe2O3 sources. After the raw materials such as the limestone, the sand and the clay, iron ore was pulverized and mixed,and the raw meal was burnt at about 1450oC in a furnace with an oxidizing atmosphere. The part in the raw materials of theclinker was substituted with slag, sludge, etc. and this was used to manufacturing cement clinker. To investigate the water-soluble hexavalent chromium content in clinker, raw meal was prepared by changing the modulus, the type, and the contentof clinker materials and tested concentrations of hexavalent chromium in the clinkers. To determine Cr+6 formation of theclinker, tests were done with raw meals adding chromium by using different industrial by-products. Consequently because thechromium was to be included in the raw materials of the clinker, production of Portland cement clinker was included with thechromium. Also, the chromium was converted into hexavalent chromium in the burning process.

Active clays, Diatomite, bentonite and zeolite were used as porous materials for fabricating hygroscopic gypsum boards. Pohang active clay and Cheolwon diatomite showed excellent characteristics of moisture adsorption and desorption. These characteristics were caused by higher surface area and pore volume of porous materials. Moisture adsorption content of gypsum board with 10% active clay(P1) was 62.0 g/m2, and moisture desorption content was 50.2 g/m2. Moisture adsorption content of gypsum board with 10% diatomite(P) was 59.5 g/m2, and moisture desorption content was 49.0 g/m2. Moisture adsorption contents of gypsum boards with porous materials were higher than that moisture desorption contents of gypsum board without porous materials. Correlation coefficient between surface area and moisture adsorption content of gypsum boards was 0.98. Also, correlation coefficient between surface area and moisture desorption content of gypsum boards was 0.97. Moisture adsorption and desorption contents were influenced by surface area and pore volume of the gypsum boards, and surface area had a larger effect on moisture adsorption and desorption.

In this study, we evaluated anti-inflammatory effect of biji in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Biji inhibited the generation of NO and PGE2 through the suppression of iNOS and COX-2 expression. In addition, biji attenuated the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β induced by LPS. Biji blocked LPS-mediated IκB-α degradation and subsequently inhibited p65 nucleus accumulation in RAW264.7 cells, which indicates that biji inhibits NF-κB signaling. In addition, biji suppressed p38 phosphorylation induced by LPS. Our results suggests that biji may exert anti-inflammatory activity through blocking the generation of the inflammatory mediators such as NO, PGE2, iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α and IL-1β via the inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and p38. From these findings, biji has potential to be a candidate for the development of chemoprevention or therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases.

Background: In this study, we evaluated the anti-cancer activity and potential molecular mechanism of 70% ethanol extracts of the root of Aralia cordata var. continentalis (Kitagawa) Y. C. Chu (RAc-E70) against human colorectal cancer cells. Methods and Results: RAc-E70 suppressed the proliferation of the human colorectal cancer cell lines, HCT116 and SW480. Although RAc-E70 reduction cyclin D1 expression at the protein and mRNA levels, RAc-E70-induced reduction in cyclin D1 protein level occurred more dramatically than that of cyclin D1 mRNA. The RAc-E70-induced downregulation of cyclin D1 expression was attenuated in the presence of MG132. Additionally, RAc-E70 reduced HA-cyclin D1 levels in HCT116 cells transfected with HA-tagged wild type-cyclin D1 expression vector. RAc-E70-mediated cyclin D1 degradation was blocked in the presence of LiCl, a GSK3β inhibitorbut, but not PD98059, an ERK1/2 inhibitor and SB203580, a p38 inhibitor. Furthermore, RAc-E70 phosphorylated cyclin D1 at threonine-286 (T286), and LiCl-induced GSK3β inhibition reduced the RAc-E70-mediated phosphorylation of cyclin D1 at T286. Conclusions: Our results suggested that RAc-E70 may downregulate cyclin D1 expression as a potential anti-cancer target through GSK3β-dependent cyclin D1 degradation. Based on these findings, RAc-E70 maybe a potential candidate for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic agents for human colorectal cancer.

In this study, we produced the recombinant lunasin peptide using E. coli and P. pastoris, and evaluated biological activity of the recombinant lunasin peptide. Lunasin peptide was produced from E. coli transfected with pPGEX-lunasin expression vector and P. pastoris GS115 transfected with pPIC-lunasin expression vector. These recombinant lunasin peptides were similar to the synthetic lunasin peptide in the identification by LC-ESI-MS. In addition, the recombinant lunasin peptide from E. coli and P. pastoris was bound in the chromatin, and inhibited histone acetylation and the activity of histone acetyltransferase. These findings suggest that the production of the lunasin peptide using E. coli and P. pastoris will be useful for industrial utilization of lunasin peptide.

Insulation materials used for building save energy and can be classified into inorganic and organic materials. Organic insulation emits toxic gases in a fire annd has lower water resistance. Inorganic insulation is heavy and has poorer thermal performance than that of organic material. This study evaluated the physical properties and fire resistance of lightweight inorganic insulation foaming material made of waste glass powder. The test results showed that the inorganic material performed well with low density and low thermal conductivity for an insulation material. Foam insulation material manufactured from glass powder was sufficient as a fire-resistant product.

Concrete strength is not only an important factor in design and quality control, but it also represents the overall qualityof concrete. The use of admixture has been increasingly prevalent in the recent cases of concrete production as a meansto improve the functionality of concrete. Of particular note, fly ash is added in either the cement or the ready-mixedconcrete production stage with the general mixing ratio being about 15%; however, using fly ash slows down the initialhydration of the binding material, which can in turn cause a delay in acquisition of strength. In this study, calcium sulfoaluminate (C4A3S; CSA) was added to improve the initial strength of cement after the use of fly ash, and its effect instrength improvement was analyzed. The substitution ratios of fly ash were 0, 10, 20 and 30%, and the amount of CSAadded to improve the initial strength was 8% of the fly ash weight. The results of the experiment showed that adding CSA resulted in high calorific values at peaks 1 and 2 of hydration heat, and an X-ray diffraction analysis showed thatthe amount of unhydrated materials was higher with increasing substitution ratio of fly ash. An increase in CSA wasalso shown to lead to a higher amount of ettringite being generated in the early ages. In conclusion, addition of 30% flyash and 8% CSA led to an ettringite production that was 3 times higher than the mixing ratio of fly ash, which effectivelyimproved the initial strength. The same phenomenon was observed in the electron microscope analysis. Based on theseresults, it was determined that adding CSA in an amount that equaled to 8% of fly ash weight can promote the productionof ettringite, thereby improving the initial strength, which gets reduced by the use of fly ash.

On this study, We make an active MgO and Mg-Si material as a main material using autoclave and electric furnace. Mineral admixtures are added to main material, and to enhance the activity of carbon negative cement, MgCl2 solution is mixed to the paste and concrete. To evaluate the activity of hydration, mechanical property, autoclave expansion, hydrate property, SEM, freezing and thawing test of concrete are analyzed

Heat insulator materials can be classified inorganic and organic. The organic material is due to toxic gas emission, when a fire occurs. And it has lower water resistance. The inorganic material is heavy and worse thermal performance than organic materials. This study focused on evaluation of the physical properties of light-weight inorganic foam panel for using industrial by-products materials and performance evaluation by mock up test.
