The pitch-based activated carbons were prepared with KOH/KMnO4 as a multiple function activation agent to increase the specific capacitance of a supercapacitor electrode active material. And the porous structure and electrochemical properties of activated carbon were analyzed on varying amounts of KMnO4. KMnO4 was decomposed into K2O, MnO, and O2 at the activation temperature of KOH, and MnO was introduced to activated carbon. K2O/ O2 reacts with a surrounding pitch to generate micropores and forms a pathway that exposes MnO to the outside. It also affects to the specific surface area of activated carbon like KOH chemical activation. The enhanced specific surface area and introduced MnO in activated carbon led to a 28.9% increase in specific capacitance.

This study was aimed at investigating the levels of the natural preservatives of benzoic, sorbic and propionic acids in cereal grains, nuts and seeds. Benzoic and sorbic acid were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD) and further confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), whereas propionic acid was analyzed using a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and further confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Benzoic, sorbic and propionic acids were found in 44, 22, and 550 samples out of 702 samples, respectively. From the total of 702 samples. The concentrations of benzoic, sorbic and propionic acid were ranged from not detected (ND) to 23.74 mg/L, from ND to 7.90 mg/L, and from ND to 37.39 mg/L in cereal grains, nuts and seeds, respectively. The concentration ranges determined in this study could be used as standard criteria in the process of inspecting cereal grains, nuts and seeds for preservatives as well as to address consumer complaints or trade disputes.

본 연구에서는 향신료 중 천연유래 보존료의 함유량을 조사하기 위하여 안식향산, 소브산 및 프로피온산의 함유량을 분석하였다. 향신료 중 안식향산 및 소브산 함량은 액체크로마토그래프 질량분석기(LC-MS/MS)를 이용하였 고, 프로피온산 함량은 가스크로마토그래프 질량분석기 (GC-MS)를 이용하였다. 에탄올을 이용하여 용매추출 후 원심분리 후 농축하는 방법으로 전처리 방법을 확립하였고, 직선성, 검출한계, 정량한계, 회수율 측정으로 분석방 법을 검증하였다. 향신료 493건 수거하여 분석한 결과, 안식향산, 소브산, 프로피온산은 각각 165건, 88건, 398건에서 검출되었다. 안식향산, 소브산, 프로피온산의 검출 범 위는 각각 불검출-391.99 mg/L, 불검출-57.70 mg/L, 불검출 -188.21 mg/L이었다. 안식향산, 소브산, 프로피온산의 평 균 검출량이 가장 높게 나타난 품목은 각각 계피(167.15 mg/ L), 바질잎(22.79 mg/L), 백후추(51.48 mg/L)이었다. 본 연구에서 확립된 분석방법은 다양한 향신료를 대상으로 낮은 함량의 천연유래 보존료(안식향산, 소브산, 프로피온산) 분석에 적합한 방법이며, 분석결과는 향신료의 천연유래 보 존료 함유량을 알 수 있는 근거자료이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과는 향후 식품 검사 시 보존료 사용기준 위반 판정으로 인한 민원제기나 국가간 무역마찰시 기초자료로 활 용될 수 있을 것이다.

가스생산기지의 탱크보수와 가스배관 기밀시험 및 가스치완에 사용되는 질소는 액화질소를 기화시켜 공급하고 있으며, 불활성 가스인 질소의 용도는 천연가스 설비에서 선박용까지 그 사용처가 다양하다. 질소발생기술은 극저온증류식(Cryogenic distillation), 흡착식(Pressure Swing Adsorption), 분리막식(Membrane)이 있으며 극저온증류식은 장치비가 높아 대형플랜트에 적합하고 흡착식 및 분리막식은 중소규모에 적합하다. 특히, 분리막식은 장치가 간단하고 진동에 대한 성능저하가 없어 이동식 질소발생에 적합한 기술이다. 분리막 방식의 이동식 질소발생플랜트의 설계기술은 분리막모듈, 장비, 배관, 전기, 진동, 에너지 관리 등의 최적화를 통해 이루어진다.

Hippo signaling is one of the signal transduction pathways revealed in Drosophila and mammalian. This signaling is known to control proliferation and growth of normal cells or cancer cells, in which many signaling proteins form a network. In this network, tumor suppressor kinases include MST and LATS while YAP and TAZ exist as oncoproteins. Combined with transcription factor, YAP the oncoprotien starts to secrete growth factors such as CTGF, FGF, and Cry61 regulating the growth of cells or the organ sizes. The YAP is also associated with the development of early embryo and the regeneration of the skin wound as well as abnormal growth of cancers in case of over-expression. Although many previous studies have found various tumors with YAP over-expressed, the expression of YAP is not yet clearly identified in oral cancer. The aim of this study was to check the expression level of YAP in oral squamous cell carcinoma. So we performed PCR and Western blot to check YAP expression in mRNA and protein level respectively. In result, all of the 13 cell lines examined has presented the expression of YAP, and especially in HSC2 and KOSCC11 cell lines has been observed the remarkable level of expression. In conclusion, we confirmed the overexpression of YAP cell line in oral squamous cell carcinoma, it will be a great help to the study carried out in the future. Once you understand the mechanism of oncoprotien YAP in oral cancer cells, it seems possible to research and development of targeted tumor therapy agents in oral cancer.

The online game market has rapidly increased worldwide, especially in China. In 2012, the world game market equaled 111.7 billion. Many game companies compete by launching new online games in various genres. In 2010, Activision Blizzard reported that the World of Warcraft (WOW) is the world’s most popular online game. Chinese gamers constitute more than half of WOW’s 10 million users. Korea is the second largest gaming market. Thus many foreign game companies target Korea and China, in competition with domestic game companies. The purposes are 1) to understand the role of country of origin and /or brand image in game consumer behavior, 2) to find out the difference of game evaluation between game users in China and Korea, and 3) to draw strategic implication game marketers. Consumers expect products from advanced countries to provide superior performance, so they often look to country of origin in evaluating products. Recently, consumers have looked to brand image as another key element in product evaluation. In this research, we study whether gamers evaluate games on the basis of country of origin and/or brand image. In this paper, we add to the gaming research and suggest that the online game market has three dimensions. First, online games are products. Second, online games are service. Last, online games are entertainment. Data collection resulted in 355 usable responses from online game (LOL) users in Korea(166) and China(189). We conduct factor analysis and reliability analysis to check reliability and validity. Country of Origin is the key element for product evaluation of utilitarian goods but it doesn’t have significant effect on product evaluation of hedonic products which mainly provide sensual pleasure, fantasy, and fun to customers such as luxury goods or online game (Dhar & Wertenbroch, 2000).

수소투과금속인 tantalum과 세라믹 지지체로 Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ)를 이용하여 cermet 수소분리막을 제조하였다. Ta/YSZ cermet 분리막은 헬륨분위기에서의 예비소결과 고진공 하에서의 본소결을 통해 제조하였으며, 소결 및 밀봉 과정에서 발생하는 불순물은 연마를 통해 제거 가능하였다. 이렇게 제조된 분리막은 tantalum의 연속상이 잘 발달된 치밀구조를 보였다. 수소 해리를 위해 팔라듐 코팅을 한 Ta/YSZ 분리막을 이용하여 200∼350°C의 범위에서 수소투과실험을 수행하였다. 300°C에서 분리막에 균열이 형성되었고 Pd 코팅층은 몇 곳이 박리되었다. XRD 결과는 tantalum이 수소와 반응하여 Ta2H가 생성되는 것을 보여주며, Ta2H에 인한 격자 팽창이 분리막의 결함을 초래하였다.

Cermet 분리막 제조를 위한 혼합 분말은 60 vol.% vanadium과 Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ)를 기계적으로 혼합하여 준비하였다. 혼합 분말을 원판으로 압축한 후 진공 분위기에서 1600°C로 2시간동안 소결하였다. 소결 분리막은 치밀하였고, 브레이징 필러를 이용하여 스테인레스 링에 장착되었다. V/YSZ 분리막의 수소 투과량은 100% 수소를 흘려 200∼ 350°C 범위에서 측정되었다. 350°C, 0.5 bar압력에서 분리막의 양 표면에 균열이 형성되었다. 투과실험 동안에 V/YSZ 분리막의 vanadium은 수소와 반응하여 V2H를 생성하였으며, 이로 인해 분리막이 균열되는 것을 알 수 있었다.
