원자력발전소 사고시 방사성물질이 발전소외 지역으로 유출될 경우 주민을 안전하게 보호하기 위한 조치의 일환으로 주민소개가 고려된다. 소개시간 산정에 필요한 인자를 도출하고, 각각의 인자에 대해 원전 주변의 현장자료를 토대로 부지주변의 교통환경 여건을 반영하여 울진원전의 방사선비상계획구역 내의 주민전체를 소개시키는데 소요되는 시간을 예측하였다. 평상교통, 여름철 첨두교통, 그리고 겨울철 첨두교통에 대해 각각 주간 및 야간, 평상기상 및 악기상의 경우로 나누어 12가지의 주민소개 시나리오를 설정하였다. 비상계획구역 경계 남단과 북단에서 모든 소개차량(인구)이 비상계획구역을 벗어나는 데 걸리는 시간은 전체적으로는 분 정도로 예측되었다. 소개시간은 밤이 낮보다 약 45분 정도 더 소요되는 것으로 예측되었다.

Gamma irradiation at 20 kGy was applied to Kanjang (soy sauce), Doenjang (soybean paste), Kochujang (hot pepper paste) and Chungkukjang for their possible genotoxicity The genotoxicity of 20 kGy-irradiated samples was evaluated by Salmonella typhimurlum reversion assay. The Salmonella tester strains included TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence and presence of an exogenous metabolizing system (S9 mix). All samples were negative in the bacterial reversion assay with S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537. The results indicated that 20 kGy of gamma irradiation on water-soluble fraction of Kanjang, Doenjang, Kochujang and Chungkukjang were not shown mutagenicity.

This study was carried out to investigate the vascular plants of Mt. Choejeong in Gachang-myeon, Daegu. From March 2017 to October 2018, a total of 22 studies were conducted. The vascular plants surveyed were grouped into 560 taxa, including 104 families, 297 genera, 495 species, 4 subspecies, 51 varieties and 10 forma. Endemic plants 15 taxa, Rare plants 5 taxa, Red list plants 5 taxa, Floristic regional indicator plants 54 taxa, Naturalized plants 36 taxa were recorded. Among surveyed 560 taxa, edible, medicinal, ornamental, timber, pasturing, industrial and fiber plants included 246 taxa (29.2%), 228 taxa (27.1%), 164 taxa (19.5%), 61 taxa (7.2%), 13 taxa (1.5%), and 8 taxa (0.9%). And because people are coming and going more frequently than in the past, this will result in more frequent influx of naturalized plants and a threat to the habitat of the plants that are currently growing.

레스베라트롤(3, 5, 4′-trihydroxytibence)은 포도, 와인, 땅콩 등에서 발견되는 항산화 물질로 과일에서 레스베라트 롤과 3-β-mono-D-glucoside가 결합된 피세이드 형태로 발견되며, 항암, 고지혈증, 항혈전작용등 다양한 약리효과 를 가지는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 익산 526호를 25℃와 30℃ 암조건에서 1, 3, 5일간 수분 95%이상 유지하여 발아시켰다. 발아처리 전과 비교하였을 때, 25℃에서 발아처리 후 레스베라트롤 생합성 유전자의 발현은 1.7 ~ 2.5배 증가하였 으며, 레스베라트롤 및 피세이드함량은 각각 1.1 ~ 1.6배, 1.1 ~ 3.8배 증가하였다. 또한, 30℃에서 레스베라트롤 생 합성 유전자의 발현은 2.7 ~ 14.0배 증가하였으며, 레스베라트롤 및 피세이드함량은 각각 1.2 ~ 2.3배, 2.0 ~ 10.5배 증가하였다. 30 ℃에서 5일간 발아시켰을 때, 레스베라트롤 생합성 유전자의 발현수준이 가장 높았으며, 레스베라 트롤 및 피세이드 함량 또한 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 발아과정을 통한 레스베스베라트롤 생합성 유전자 발현 증가는 레스베라트롤 및 피세이드 함량 증가와 밀접한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 발아처리는 익 산 526호의 이용확대를 위한 레스베라트롤 및 피세이드 함량 증진을 위해 효과적인 방법이라고 생각된다.

내염성과 관련 있는 벼의 CBF4 유전자(OsCBF4)를 벼에서 과발현 시켜 염 스트레스 조건에서 저항성이 증진된 내염성 유전자원을 개발하였다. RT-PCR을 수행하여 분리한 OsCBF4 유전자는 1,429 bp 크기의 뉴클레오티드로 274개의 아미노산으로 구성되었고, 벼의 다른 CBF 유전자와 33~49% 상동성을 나타내었다. 형질전환 식물체는 PCR과 Southern분석으로 OsCBF4 유전자의 벼 게놈 내 도입을 확인하였다. 전이 유전자는 벼 게놈 내에 1~4사본이 도입되었고, 선발된 형질전환 계통 모두에서 전이 유전자가 강하게 발현되었다. 염 스트레스 조건에서 형질전환 식물체는 비 형질전환 벼 보다 생육 정도가 양호하였으며, 특히 CBF4-10 계통은 염 처리 후 많은 식물체가 살아남았다. Real-time PCR 분석 결과 CBF4-10 계통은 120 mM NaCl 처리 시 전이 유전자 OsCBF4 전사체 발현이 잎에서 무처리 대비 약 3배 이상 증가하였다. 결론적으로 일반 벼에 도입된 OsCBF4 전이 유전자는 내염성 증진 기능이 있으며, OsCBF4 전이 유전자의 발현이 높은 형질전환 벼 계통은 내염성 벼 육종 소재로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 평가된다.

Several tests and experimental work have been done for identifying the best growth conditions and accumulated amount of lipid moiety in B. braunii, a microalga(UTEX 572) in terms of media composition. The specific growth rate was found to be the highest at 0.15 g/L-day when the phosphorus concentration was doubled with the other ingredients at the normal level. Experiments for varied media compositions revealed that the accumulation of lipid was the highest at 48% (dry cell weight based) in the nitrogen deficient medium and its corresponding specific growth rate was comparative to that in the normal BG 11 medium. In the bubble column experiments, carbon dioxide containing air produced four times more cell mass than air only. Light and glucose addition also enhanced cell mass with maximum, 1.8 g/L and accordingly 42% of lipid composition, which turned out to be a better strategy for higher lipid-producing microalgal culture.

The aim of this paper is to correlate the release characteristics of marine and lake sediment with their vicinal oxic conditions. We performed lab-scale simulation experiments using field sediment and water in order to compare the release concentrations and the release rates one another. To provide a few different kinds of oxic environments we used natural air flow and some oxygen releasing compounds such as CaO2 and MgO2. In case of phosphates, in each oxic condition, removal of phosphorus via biological activity and that via salt precipitation with the metal ions lowered the release rates. The behavior of the nitrogen-origin salts seemed to greatly depend on the typical biological actions - growth of biomass, nitrification, and partial denitrification. Generally speaking, the control of releases of NH3-N, PO4-P, T-N and T-P was successful under the oxic conditions meanwhile COD, nitrates and nitrites were difficult to reduce the releases into the bulk water because of the considerable microbial oxidation. Based on typical diffusive mass transfer kinetics the changes of concentrations of the nutrients were computed for qualitative and quantitative comparisons.

Sediment cell is renewable energy which produces electric energy using immanent ingredients or reducing power of marine sediment as natural resources. Also the cell has an advantage that environmental pollution can be reduced through conversion of organic and inorganic contaminants into inert matter with generation of the energy. In this paper, we compared characteristics of electricity generation of the two different sediment cells, and investigated the regeneration effect of the sediment cells with manipulation of the sediment such as mixing and re-positioning. The results showed that 14.1 W/m2 of power was obtained with the aluminum electrode, and the mixing of the sediment could increase the power by 4 W/m2 compared to the control. Also, mixing the sediment has kept electricity for 4 weeks at a relatively constant level, which implied ‘fuel regeneration effect'. Meanwhile, the sediment cell was proved to be effective in reduction of COD, which was up to 28.6%.

Sediment works as a resource for electric cells. This paper was designed in order to verify how sediment cells work with anodic material such as metal and carbon fiber. As known quite well, sediment under sea, rivers or streams provides a furbished environment for generating electrons via some electron transfer mechanism within specific microbial population or corrosive oxidation on the metal surfaces in the presence of oxygen or water molecules. We experimented with one type of sediment cell using different anodic material so as to attain prolonged, maximum electric power. Iron, Zinc, aluminum, copper, zinc/copper, and graphite felt were tested for anodes. Also, combined type of anodes-metal embedded in the graphite fiber matrix-was experimented for better performances. The results show that the combined type of anodes exhibited sustainable electricity production for ca. 600 h with max. 0.57 W/㎡ Al/Graphite. Meanwhile, graphite-only electrodes produced max. 0.11 W/㎡ along with quite stationary electric output, and for a zinc electrode, in which the electricity generated was not stable with time, therefore resulting in relatively sharp drop in that after 100 h or so, the maximum power density was 0.64 W/㎡. It was observed that the corrosive reaction rates in the metal electrodes might be varied, so that strength and stability in the electric performances(voltage and current density) could be affected by them. In addition to that, COD(chemical oxygen demand) of the sediment of the cell system was reduced by 17.5∼36.7% in 600 h, which implied that the organic matter in the sediment would be partially converted into non-COD substances, that is, would suggest a way for decontamination of the aged, anaerobic sediment as well. The pH reduction for all electrodes could be a sign of organic acid production due to complicated chemical changes in the sediment.
