본 연구에서는 일반적으로 O/W 에멀젼에 비해 안정화가 어려운 W/O 에멀젼, 특히 유동성이 높은 저점도 W/O 에멀젼의 안정성 증진을 위하여 유화제, 전해질, 유화 안정화제, 겔화제 등을 적용한 다양한 실험을 수행하여 보았다. 그 결과 이번 실험에서는 Polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/ polyhydroxystearate/sebacate를 주 유화제로 하면서 PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate와 Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone을 보조 유화제로 하는 유화 체계에, 전해질로 Sodium chloride를 0.5 %, 유화 안정화제로 Distearyldimonium chloride를 1 %, 유상 겔화제로 Glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate를 0.5 % 적용한 유화 입자도 작고 조밀하며 점도도 2,000 cps 이하로 일정하게 유지되는 안정한 저점도 W/O 에멀젼을 제조할 수가 있었다. 또한 상기와 같은 에멀젼 베이스에 무기 자외선 차단성분의 적용 실험을 통하여 안정성이 우수한 저점도 플루이드형 자외선 차단제품의 개발 가능성도 긍정적으로 검토 할 수가 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate radiation dose sensitivity due to displacement of human extremities in the water bolus box on radiation therapy. Water bolus box and human thigh with femur bone were constructed in computerized radiation therapy planning system to verify the absorbed dose. Two 6MV X-ray beams were irradiated bilaterally into water bolus box and then radiation dose were calculated each situation at displacement of middle axis of thigh from the center in water bolus box to right and left direction. Absorbed dose of thigh and femur bone increased by the distance of displacement. The maximum dose of thigh even increased 20% over than prescribed dose. This is in contrast to conventional concept of dose distribution in water bolus box. Based on this result, displacement of body site in the water bolus box have to be averted during radiation therapy.

The purpose in this study is to investigate CT number difference between conventional CT and CT simulator. It shows good correlation in CT number on the muscle, bone, and air. However, in the liver, lungs and water, the low correlation was detected. This result can become the good index for the direction of the distribution of dose difference research between CT equipment for using the computerized radiation therapy planning system.

본 연구에서는 안동댐과 임하댐의 퇴적물과 유입되는 부유물의 특성을 색도분석, X-선회절분석 및 유도플라즈마/질량분석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 안동댐과 임하댐으로 유입되는 부유물 및 댐 퇴적물의 광물조성은 석영, 사장석, 녹니석, 일라이트이며 소량의 몬모릴로나이트와 캐올리나이트를 포함하고 있다. 안동댐 퇴적물과 다르게 임하댐 퇴적물에는 다량의 방해석을 포함하고 있다. 색도는 시료에 따라 약간의 차이가 있지만 회갈색에서 어두운 주황색 정도이다. 퇴적물의 중금속 농도는 안동댐이 임하댐보다 더 높다. 안동댐과 임하댐 퇴적물과 유입 부유물질의 주요 중금속 농도는 미국의 국립해양대기관리청의 기준을 적용할 경우 높은 오염도를 나타낸다. 안동댐 퇴적물의 중금속 농도가 임하댐보다 높은 것은 안동댐으로 유입되는 부유물질의 중금속 농도가 임하댐으로 유입되는 부유물질의 중금속 농도보다 높기 때문이다.

UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGAN (UFO), a novel gene, is involved in controlling flowering initiation and development. In Arabidopsis, UFO is required for floral organ identity in the second and third whorls. However, the mode of expression and function of TaUFO have not been studied yet. The cDNA sequence of TaUFO is comprised of 1344 bp open reading frame which encodes 50.82 KDa polypeptide consisting amino acid residues. F-box protein, the components of TaUFO, plays an important regulatory role in a wide diversity of developmental and physiological responses. In almost all F box proteins, the N terminus of the protein contains the F-box motif, and the rest of the protein contains the protein-protein interaction domains required for target protein binding. In order to elucidate the function of the TaUFO, various phytohormones and abiotic stresses were applied on young seedlings (14 day after germination) and its transcripts were evaluated. TaUFO:GFP fusion construct was transformed into onion epidermal cells by particle bombardment to elucidate the subcellular localization of the TaUFO protein. The function of the F-box protein is to interact with target proteins. With the use of a yeast two-hybrid screen to isolate proteins interacting with the TaUFO (F box protein), we identified potential TaUFO interactive protein in wheat spikelet library.

Pectin, one of the main components of plant cell wall, is deesterified in muro by PME (Pectin methylesterase). PME activity is particularly regulated by inhibitor proteins known as the pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI). The PMEI plays a key role in wounding, osmotic stress, senescence and seed development. However, the role of PMEI in plant species still remains to be demonstrated especially in wheat. To facilitate the studies on the expression of the TaPMEI gene, RT-PCR was performed using leaf, stem and root tissues in response to exogeneous application of phytohormones and abiotic stress treatments. Transcription of the TaPMEI gene was significantly induced in NaCl, H2O2 and SA treatments, and reduced when plants were treated with ABA. To elucidate the subcellular localization of the TaPMEI protein, TaPMEI:GFP fusion construct was transformed into onion epidermal cells by particle bombardment. The fluorescence signal was exclusively detected in cell wall of the cells. In order to obtain recombinant TaPMEI protein, the TaPMEI protein, expressed in E.coli as a MBP (~42.5 kDa) fusion protein recombinant. Purification and functinal analysis of TaPMEI as an inhibitor of PME activity are described.
