KORAD (Korea Radioactive Waste Agency, http://www.korad.or.kr) has stored slightly contaminated ascon (asphalt coated concrete mixture) that was introduced to Gyeongju repository about a decade ago waiting for a final disposal. It is believed to be mainly contaminated by radioisotope 137Cs due to impurities introduced from the outside during the ascon manufacturing process. We studied characteristics of the radioactive waste to see whether this material would be proper enough to be disposed in Gyeongju LILW repository or be other ways to reduce the disposal volume including self-disposal before its final disposal otherwise. KORAD looked into the properness of characteristics of ascon in terms of WAC (Waste Acceptance Criteria) documented by KORAD that includes general chemical and physical properties of asphalt, density, size of grains, content of organic material and possibility of existence of chelate materials that qualitatively limited to be disposed by the criteria. And other associated characteristics such as gas generation and bio degradation were also investigated. Based on the data obtained from the study, we proposed various plausible solutions in associated with operational and disposal safety and economic view points. This study will be used for KORAD’s decision on how to control and safely dispose the spent ascon within a reasonable time period. And also those experiences may be applied for other LILW issues that require treatment or conditioning of radioactive wastes in the future.

The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effects of beauty care on negative mental health, including stress and depression. Nail care, massage care, and makeup were used as programs for beauty therapy. Qualitative research was conducted with six female participants over five-month period. After interviewing the subjects in advance, beauty care treatments were performed every week 4 weeks in the following order: nail care, massage, and makeup. The results are as follows, First, the participants perceived beauty care in the form of 4 concepts: “courtesy in social life,” “investment in oneself,” “self-satisfaction,” and “self-care.” Second, the effects of beauty therapy were categorized as “psychological effects,” “confidence,” “behavioral changes,” “evaluation of others,” and “positive social effects.” Third, each subject showed different psychological effects during the process when the function of the therapy took effect through the beauty care treatment. It was confirmed that confidence levels increased as a result of treatment through the process of becoming re-aware of oneself. Positive statements from the participants included: “I want to go out,” “I have become kind and positive to others,” “I have become more active in a given task,” and “It seems that my work ability is improving.” Finally, t-test results for selfesteem, depression, and stress showed there were significant differences in self-esteem and depression. This confirmed that self- esteem increased, and depression decreased after the beauty care treatment.

안전한 화장품용 방부제에 대한 연구를 위하여 1, 2-octanediol (OD)에 galactose 한 분자가 결합된 1, 2-octanediol galactoside (OD-gal)의 합성을 시도하였다. 이를 위하여, 재조합 대장균의 β-galactosidase (β-gal)를 이용하여 transgalactosylation 반응을 수행하였으며, OD-gal 합성을 확인하기 위하여 mass spectrometry 분석과 NMR (1H- and 13C-) spectroscopy 분석을 실시하였다. 합성 반응물에서 m/z=331.1732의 sodium adduct ion 형태로 OD-gal 분자의 합성을 확인하였고, 정제된 OD-gal의 NMR 분석을 통하여 OD-gal의 1H NMR 스펙트럼에서 OD에 갈락토실화가 되었음을 보여주는 다양한 피크를 확인하였다. 1H NMR 스펙트럼의 다운필드인 δH 4.39 ppm과 δH 3.98~3.55 ppm에서 나타나는 다양한 피크들은 이들이 OD에 갈락토실화가 되었다는 것을 잘 암시하고 있으며, 또한 1H NMR 스펙트럼의 업필드에서 나타나는 δH 1.52~1.26 ppm과 0.89 ppm의 피크는 OD의 CH2 와 CH3 작용기로 부터 나타나는 피크로써 OD가 본 물질에 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 13C NMR 스펙트럼에서는 OD-gal의 알파-아노머와 베타-아노머의 구조에서 기인하는 총 24개의 탄소피크가 나타났고, 각 아노머 마다 14개의 탄소가 존재하는데 이중 δc 31.4, 29.0, 22.3 그리고 13.7 ppm에 보이는 OD 4개의 탄소는 지방족 사슬의 끝부분에 해당하며 화학적 구조의 유사성으로 인하여 탄소 피크가 겹쳐서 나타난 것으로 보인다. 따라서 총 28개의 탄소 피크 중 24개가 나타났다. 마지막으로, 합성된 OD-gal 의 β-gal을 이용한 가수분해 반응을 통하여 OD-gal에 gal이 결합되어 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 세포독성이 감소된 첨가물 개발을 기대하고 있으며, 추가적인 후속연구를 진행할 예정이다.

Radioisotope ADME (RI-ADME) studies are enabling visualization of the biodistribution in molecular imaging. We applied RI-ADME to investigate the tumor targeting capacity and biodistribution of trastuzumab-monomethyl auristatin F (LCB14-0110) in JIMT-1 xenograft mice and healthy marmoset. The LCB14-0110 was labelled with 125I. 125I-LCB14-0110 was intravenously administered to the animals. The gamma-count and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) was conducted for biodistributioon and bioimaging of the biopharmaceutics. Tumor uptake in xenograft mice was highest at three-day after 125I-LCB14-0110 administration in both the biodistribution and SPECT/CT bioimaging. Alternatively, blood and organ tissues showed gradual decrease in radioactivity over time. In marmosets, radioactivity in all organ tissues rapidly reduced and no specific targeting of organs was observed in the biodistribution study and SPECT/CT imaging. Hence, 125ILCB14- 0110 demonstrated effective tumor targeting capacity and accumulated in JIMT-1 cell-bearing mice. However, accumulation did not occur in the organs of xenograft mice. Additionally, marmosets showed rapidly decrease in radioactivity throughout the entire body without accumulation in the normal organs. We also confirmed that the drug distribution was similar in normal organs between the two experimental animal species except spleen. Therefore, 125I is expected to be a useful tool in the study of RI-ADME in biopharmaceuticals through minimal antibody modification.

This study aims to identify the differences between Korean and Chinese and males and females in terms of female image preferences. The survey was conducted for 1 month targeting male and female Korean and Chinese subjects. Among the 350 completed questionnaires, 309 were used for analysis. For the analysis, 11 female images were chosen based on theoretical study, then a t-test and a paired t-test were carried out using SPSS 19.0. The results of this study are as follows: First, differences in female image preferences were observed to depend on nationality and gender. Koreans prefer urban images while Chinese prefer cute, intelligent, and sexy images. Second, males prefer innocent or sexy images, while females prefer sophisticated images. Third, Korean males prefer innocent, active, sophisticated, gentle, cute, sexy, urban, natural, intelligent, spectacular, and neutral images in order. Chinese males prefer gentle, innocent, sexy, active, sophisticated, intelligent, cute, natural, urban, spectacular, and neutral images in order. Fourth, Korean females prefer sophisticated, gentle, urban, natural, intelligent, innocent, active, sexy, cute, spectacular, and neutral images in order. Chines females prefer sophisticated, intelligent, cute, gentle, innocent, active, natural, sexy, urban, spectacular, and neutral images in order. Using these results, it will be possible to design marketing strategies for global consumers.

Hair style allows consumers to express their aesthetic sense and individual beauty. However, due to the attributes of hairdressing services and the high expectations of consumers, complaints are increasing rapidly. This study examined the complaint behavior, compensation and hair salon patronage of consumers. Then, a model is presented that explains the complaint behavior for hairstyling, forms of compensation, and hair salon patronage through empirical analysis. This study was conducted by a survey method. A total of 399 questionnaires were used for the analysis. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 statistical software. The dimension of complaint behavior for hair style included verbal complaints, non-verbal complaints in the salon and private complaints outside the salon. The forms of compensation included re-procedure, psychological, and material compensation. Hair salon patronage was one-dimensional. These results were obtained through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Then the conceptual model was empirically analyzed by covariance structure analysis and obtained in final form through model modification. Verbal complaint behavior positively influenced re-procedure compensation. In addition, non-verbal complaint behavior had positive effects on psychological and material compensation. Hair salon patronage was positively affected by re-procedure and psychological compensation. However, private complaint behavior had a negative effect on hair salon patronage. The direct and indirect effects of the paths among variables were verified by analyzing the mediating effects of different forms of compensations. It is possible to establish differentiated marketing strategies with these findings for consumers with complaint behaviors by considering the forms of compensation.

A self-powered time-temperature indicator (TTI) was optimized to enhance the performance of the TTI by modifying a biofuel cell using different immobilization, redox mediators, and status of electrode. The performance of the TTI was measured by output voltage of the TTI. The enzymes and combinations of lacasse mediators (HBT (1-hydroxybenzotriazole), Rupy (Bis-(bipyridine)-(5-aminophenanthroline) ruthenium bis (hexafluorophosphate)), MB (Methylene blue), SDP (4,4- sulfonyldiphenol)) and glucose oxidase mediators (FA (Ferroceneboxaldehyde), DBQ(2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone), HQS (8-hydroxyquinoline-5sulfonic acid hydrate), FHFP (Ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate)) were immobilized with stabilizers (pyrrole) on a glassy carbon electrode by electrodeposition by applying a square wave, cross-linking and physical immobilization. MWCNTs were used to modify glassy carbon electrodes. MWCNTs coated electrodes produced higher output voltage than uncoated electrodes. The optimum and stable performance of the self-powered TTI was that the output voltage of 64 mV and duration time was 3hr at 25°C, when the combination of Rupy, MB for laccase mediators and HQS, FHFP for glucose oxidase mediators were immobilized on MWCNTs coated electrodes by applying a square wave method. In the application, the concentrations of enzyme and glucose were adjusted to prolong the shelf-life of TTI at much lower output voltage.

The pasteurization is employed for extending shelf-life and keeping the quality of products constant. However the pasteurization undesirably accelerates the oxidation of beer which renders volatile compounds concerning off-flavor. The pasteurization conditions was optimized to avoid off-flavor of beer during pasteurization. Under the isothermal condition, thermal destruction kinetics such as D and Z value of Lactobacillus brevis which is reported the most common beer spoilage, was determined. The binomial data (detected or non-detected of off-flavor) was treated with logistic regression to estimate off-flavor development (OFD) times. The temperature dependence of OFD times was established in terms of Arrhenius relationships. Optimized pasteurization temperature and time were found at which OFD times was not detected. The constraint for optimization was that the pasteurization degree should be larger than 5 decimal reduction time. The optimization was conducted through mathematical simulation using kinetics and temperature-dependent models for microbial death and OFD times. The optimized results were validated by the corresponding experimentations, which met the requirements that the concentration of Lactobacillus brevis was 5-Log reduction and the OFD times not detected.

This study attempts to manufacture a Ni-Cr-Al-Y coating layer using a kinetic spray process and investigates the microstructure and physical properties of the manufactured layer. The Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y (wt.%) composition powder is used, and it has a spherical shape with an average diameter of 23.7 μm. Cu plate is used as the substrate. Optical microscope, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and Vickers hardness test are carried out to characterize the macroscopic properties of the coating layer. Furthermore, the coating layer underwent vacuum heat treatment at temperatures of 400˚C and 600˚C for 1 hour to check the effect of heat treatment temperature on the properties. The manufactured coating layer is 1.5 mm thick, and featured identical phases to those found in the powder. The porosity of the coating layer is measured at 2.99%, and the hardness is obtained at 490.57 Hv. The layer shows reduced porosity as heat treatment temperature increased, and hardness is reduced at 400˚C but shows a slight increase at 600˚C. Based on the findings described above, this study also discusses possible manufacturing methods for a Ni-Cr-Al-Y coating layer using the kinetic spray process.

본 연구에서는 상류 댐 및 유입 지류의 물리적, 지형적 특성을 고려하여 의암호 수체의 혼합 거동을 해석하고 수질 분포에 미치는 인자로 수체간 혼합 과정을 파악하기 위하여 3차원 시변화 모델, GEMSS 모델 시스템을 구축하였다. 실측 자료를 바탕으로 적용 모델의 재현성을 검토한 결과 본 연구에서 적용된 GLLVHT 모델은 상이한 강우 및 유량 조건에서 의암호 내 열수지 및 수체 혼합 특성을 잘 재현하고 있는 것으로 판단되었으며, 모델 보정 결과를 바탕으로 의암호의 수온, 전기전도도 그리고 체류시간의 시∙공간적 분포와 유입지류의 흐름 특성을 분석하였다. 의암호는 상이한 목적을 가진 소양강댐과 춘천댐의 방류량과 유입 지류의 큰 변동폭에 수리 및 수질이 영향을 많이 받고 있다. 의암호는 봄과 여름철에는 수온이 높은 춘천댐의 방류량에 상대적으로 영향을 크게 받아, 전체적으로 높은 수온 분포를 나타낸다. 반면 가을과 겨울철에는 소양강댐의 방류 유량이 많고 수온이 높고, 춘천댐의 유량이 매우 적어 상대적으로 전기전도도가 낮은 소양강댐 방류수의 수온이 의암호의 온도 분포에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 전기전도도는 춘천하수처리장과 공지천의 높은 유입으로 하류 의암댐 부근까지 높은 전기전도도의 분포를 나타낸다. 의암호의 체류시간은 춘천댐과 소양강댐의 방류수가 유입되는 상류 수역은 체류시간이 비교적 짧게 나타나며 의암댐 부근의 하류에서 점차 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 중도 부근의 낮은 수심으로 인해 소양강댐 방류량이 많은 시기에는 역류현상이 발생하여 체류시간이 일시적으로 증가한다. 또한 하중도의 우안에서 공지천과 춘천하수처리장이 유입되는 수역, 중도의 우안에서는 연중 20일 이상의 체류시간을 보이고 있다. 이러한 정체수역에서는 지류들의 혼합률이 저하되고 유속이 낮은 특징을 가지기 때문에, 식물성 플랑크톤의 과대성장 우려가 있어 수질관리에 신중을 기해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 여름철 집중 강우시에는 유입 및 유출의 급격한 증가로 체류시간은 크게 감소하며, 춘천댐과 소양강댐의 방류수는 약 10일 이하의 짧은 체류시간으로 의암호로 유입되는 것으로 예측되었다. 의암호 내 표층에서는 소양강댐의 방류가 많은 비중을 차지하며, 특히 중도의 우안의 상류부까지 소양강댐의 방류수가 역류하는 현상이 나타나며, 중도의 좌안과 붕어섬 상류부에서 소양강댐 방류수가 흐르는 것을 알 수 있다. 춘천댐의 방류량이 큰 경우에는 소양강댐의 방류수가 중도 좌안에 거의 영향을 주지 않으며 우안을 따라서 그대로 방류되는 특징을 보인다. 또한 붕어섬 상류부를 통하여 춘천댐의 방류수가 중도 좌안 및 소양강댐 방류 합류지점까지 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있다. 공지천의 방류수는 소양강댐의 방류수가 많은 시기에 동시에 증가하여 공지천과 의암호 합류부의 상류로 역류하는 현상을 보이고 있다.

A new N3O2 pentadentate ligand, N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-ethylenetriamine(H-BHET․3HCl) was synthesized. The hydrochloric acid salts of Br-BHET․3HCl, Cl-BHET․3HCl, CH3O-BHET․3HCl and CH3-BHET․3HCl containing Br-, Cl-, H-, CH3O- and CH3- groups at the para-site of the phenol group of the H-BHEP were synthesized. The structures of the ligands were confirmed by C. H. N. atomic analysis and 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-visible and mass spectra. The calculated stepwise protonation constants(logKnH) of the synthesized N3O2 ligands showed six steps of the proton dissociation. The orders of the overall protonation constants(logβp) of the ligands were Br-BHET < Cl-BHET < H-BHET < CH3O-BHET < CH3-BHET. The orders agreed well with that of para Hammett substituent constants(δp). The calculated stability constants(logKML) between the ligands and heavy metal ions (Co(Ⅱ) , Ni(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ), Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ)) agreed well with the order of the overall proton dissociation constants of the ligands but they showed a reverse order in para Hammestt substituent constants(δp). The order of the stability constants between the heavy metal ions with the synthesized ligands were Co(Ⅱ) < Ni(Ⅱ) < Cu(Ⅱ) > Zn(Ⅱ) > Cd(Ⅱ) > Pb(Ⅱ).

Hydrochloric acid salt of a new N2O3 pentadentate ligand, N,N'-Bis(2-Hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diamino-2-propanol(H-BHDP․2HCl) was synthesized. Br-BHDP․2HCl, Cl-BHDP․2HCl, CH3-BHDP․2HCl and CH3O- BHDP․2HCl having Br, Cl, CH3 and CH3O substituents at 5-position of the phenol group of H-BHDP․2HCl were also synthesized. The potentiometry study in aqueous solution revealed that the proton dissociations of the synthesized ligands occurred in four steps and their order of the calculated overall proton dissociation constants(logβp) was Br-BHDP〈 Cl-BHDP〈 H-BHDP〈 CH3O-BHDP〈 CH3-BHDP. The order showed a similar trend to that of Hammett substituent constants(δp). The order of the stability constants(logKML) was Co(Ⅱ)〈 Ni(Ⅱ)〈 Cu(Ⅱ)〈 Zn(Ⅱ)〈 Cd(Ⅱ)〈 Pb(Ⅱ). The order in their stability constants (logKML) of each transition metal complex agreed with that of the overall proton dissociation constants (logβp).
