팔라듐이 코팅된 V99.8B0.2 합금 분리막을 통해 sweep 가스를 사용하지 않고 수소 투과 시 혼합가스의 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 분리막은 400℃에서 sweep 가스를 사용하지 않고 순수 수소, 수소/이산화탄소, 수소/일산화탄소의 혼합가스를 1.5~8.0 bar의 압력으로 실험하였다. Sweep 가스를 사용하지 않고 수소만을 공급한 투과 실험에서 팔라듐 코팅된 V99.8B0.2 합금 분리막(두께 : 0.5 mm)의 수소 투과량은 40.7mL/min/㎠였다. 또한 수소/이산화탄소를 공급한 투과실험에서 V99.8B0.2 합금 분리막의 수소 투과량은 21.4mL/min/㎠였다. 수소/이산화탄소 및 수소/일산화탄소 혼합가스를 각각 공급할 때 투과량은 압력에 상관없이 수소 분압 감소 만큼 감소하였고 모든 경우 Sievert 법칙을 잘 만족시켰다. 투과 후 분리막의 XRD, SEM/EDX 결과로부터 V99.8B0.2 합금 분리막은 여러 혼합가스에 대해 안정성과 내구성이 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Mammalian fertilization is a complex cascade process consisting of sperm migration through the female reproductive tract, physiological changes to sperm such as sperm capacitation and acrosome reaction, and sperm-egg interaction in the oviduct in vivo. On the other hand, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the body: in vitro. IVF has been used for a variety of purposes in reproductive biotechnology for human and animals. The discovery of sperm capacitation in 1951 promoted the development of IVF technology. In the initial stage of IVF, sperm capacitation in preincubation medium was shown to be essential to fuse with eggs. Besides, sperms should detour some of the in vivo regulations for IVF. This review introduces a general mammalian fertilization process, including sperm capacitation, removal of cumulus matrix, acrosome reaction, and sperm-egg fusion and focuses on the roles of key biochemical molecules, signal mechanisms, and genes involved during IVF and novel results of sperm-oocyte interaction elucidated in various gene-knockout mice models.

Simulation technique for the fish behavior was applied to estimate fish school movement in the cage net. Individual-based fish behavior model (Huth and Wessel, 1991) was evaluated in a free area to understand the characteristics for the model, and the movement in the cage net was simulated by defining the fish reaction against the displacement of cage net. As a result, the distance to the net was not considerably changed and the space among fishes in cage net was slightly decreased by reducing the net space. Swimming area was, however, significantly affected by changing the net space and the relationship between swimming area and net displacement was theoretically estimated as y=-0.21x+1.02 (R2=0.96). these results leads the conclusion that individual-based model was appropriated to describe the fish school reaction in the cage net and be able to use for evaluating the influence on cultured fish.

This study was conducted to develop energy-efficient LED lamps with an excellent fishing performance for an anchovy scoop net by comparing the functions of 6 different lamps- incandescent, blue LED, green LED, white LED, yellow LED and red LED lamp. We used incandescent and red LED lamps only for the initial test and then excluded because those showed the lowest herding capacity. According to the result, yellow LED showed lower herding capacity in comparison with the blue, green and white one. Although the herding performance of the blue, green and white LED was similar in almost tests, herding speed to the each light was different. The anchovies were gathered into the blue LED as the speed of 39.88cm/s that was the fastest. Green LED was the second as the speed of 33.28cm/s. White LED was the slowest as the speed of 26.73cm/s. We will have field tests because we found the result that yellow LED's herding performance was better than green LED's for 5 seconds comparing after starting in some tests.

The autothermal reforming reaction of methane was investigated to produce hyd rogen with Ni/CeO2-ZrO2, Ni/Al2O3-MgO and Ni-Ru/Al2O3-MgO catalysts. Honeycomb metalli c monolith was applied in order to obtain high catalytic activity and stability in autothermal r eforming. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET and SEM. The influence of various catalysts on hydrogen production was studied for the feed ratio(O2/CH4, H2O/CH4). The O2/CH4 and H2O/CH4 ratio governed the methane conversion and temperature profile of reactor. Th e reactor temperature increased as the reaction shifted from endothermic to exothermic reactio n with increasing O2/CH4 ratio. Among the catalysts used in the experiment, the Ni-Ru/Al2O3-MgO catalyst showed the highest activity. The 60% of CH4 conversion was obtained, and th e reactor temperature was maintained 600℃ at the condition of GHSV=10000h-1 and feed ratio S/C/O=0.5/1/0.5.

국내에서는 콘크리트 포장용 굵은 골재를 대상으로 화학적인 시험방법과 모르타르 봉 시험방법을 이용한 결과 알칼리-실리카 반응 유해 가능성이 낮은 것으로 알려져 왔으나, 최근에 알칼리 - 실리카 반응에 의한 파손이 발생되었고, ASTM C 1260을 이용한 결과 일부 골재에서 유해한 팽창이 발생된다고 보고되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 모르타르 봉 시험방법인 KS F 2546과 ASTM C 1260을 이용하여 길이 팽창 유도기간의 환경조건이 알칼리 - 실리카 팽창 반응 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. KS F 2546의 경우 대상 골재 모두 반응성 없음으로 판정되었으나 ASTM C 1260에서는 일부 골재에서 잠재반응성 이상으로 판정되었다. 이는 외부로부터의 알칼리 이온의 공급, 온도 및 습도 차이에 의하여 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 ASTM C 1260에서 NaOH의 농도변화 실험을 통하여 NaOH의 농도가 증가할수록 길이팽창이 현저하게 증가한다는 것을 확인하였으며, 온도 및 습도가 증가함에 따라 길이팽창이 증가한다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study made a comparative analysis of behavioral reaction of squid to red (624nm), green (524nm), blue (460nm) & white LED light, its arrival time for the shadow section by making the shadow section in the central section of a water tank just like the bottom part of a squid jigging vessel, and on-site catching efficiency of LED fishing lamp with control fishing vessel. The color LED light showing the highest squidgathering rate as against the shadow section was found to be blue LED light with 39.3% rate under the dark (0.05lx) condition. Under the brighter condition than 0.05lx, white LED light was found to have the highest gathering rate of 41.5%. In addition, it was found that squid gathering rate was high at the shadow section which showed 6.3-fold brightness difference between the shadow section and bright section. As for the arrival time for the shadow section, blue LED light was found to be the fastest in attracting squids in 192.7 seconds under the dark condition while the red LED light was the fastest in luring squids in 164.6 seconds under the bright condition. The ratio of the squid-jigging operation and sailing in fuel consumption of the fishing vessel loaded with LED fishing lamp is about 7 to 1, showing most of the fuel is consumed more in sailing than in squid-jigging operation. As for a catch of squid, the control vessel loaded with MH (Metal Halide) fishing lamp had more catch of 600-7,080 squids than the vessel loaded with LED fishing lamp having a catch of 260-1,700 squids. In addition, even in the comparison of a catch per automatic jigging machine, the catch of the vessel loaded with MH fishing lamp excelled that of the vessel loaded with LED fishing lamp in 6 operations of squid jigging out of 9 operations. The ratio of hand-jigging and automatic jigging machine (one line) in the LED fishing lamp vessel was 1:1.1 excepting the case of having a catch only using an automatic jigging machine, showing almost the same with each other in catches, while in case of a MH fishing lamp vessel, its ratio against hand-jigging was 1 to 5.8, showing hand-jigging excelled in catches.

[ Zn2(1-x)MnxSiO4 ]0.07≤x≤0.15) green phosphor was prepared by solid state reaction. The first heating was at 900˚C-1250˚C in air for 3 hours and the second heating was at 900˚C in N2/H2(95%/5%) for 2 hours. The size effect of SiO2 in forming Zn2SiO4 was investigated. The temperature for obtaining single phase Zn2SiO4 was lowered from 1100˚C to 1000˚C by decreasing the SiO2 particle size from micro size to submicro size. The effect of the activators for the Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ was also investigated. The PL intensity properties of the phosphors were investigated under vacuum ultraviolet excitation (147 nm). The emission spectrum peak was between 520 nm and 530 nm, which was involved in green emission area. MnCl2·4H2O, the activator source, was more effective in providing high emission intensity than MnCO3. The optimum conditions for the best optical properties of Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ were at x = 0.11 and 1100˚C. In these conditions, the phosphor particle shape was well dispersed spherical and its size was 200 nm.

With comparison of maximum vertical reaction force and lower limb on drop landing between normal and flat foot group, this study is to provide fundamental data of the prevention of injury and the treatment of exercise which are frequently occurred on flat foot group's drop landing. The surface electrodes were sticked on lateral gastrocnemius muscle, medial gastrocnemius muscle, tibialis anterior and the drop landing on a force plate of 40cm was performed with a normal group who had no musculoskeletal disease and a flat foot group of 9 people who had feet examinations. Vertical reaction force were significantly statistically different between two groups(p<.001). Muscle activity of lower limbs in all three parts were not statistically different but showed high tendency on average in the flat foot group. The flat foot group had difficulties in diversification of impact burden and high muscle activity. Therefore, it was suggested that muscular strengthening of knee joints and plantar flexions of foot joints which were highly affected in impact absorption will be required.

인간의 걸음걸이를 보고 느끼는 감성적 반응에는 모든 사람들이 공감할 수 있는 '규칙성'이 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 규칙성을 수량적으로 추출하고 재구성하여 3D 캐릭터 행동제어에 적용하고자 하는 연구과정의 일부분이다. <"가"라는 감성반응을 가지고 있는 걸음걸이 "A"와 "나" 라는 감성반응을 가진 걸음걸이 "B" 의 신체적 수치 데이터를 임의의 비율로 섞었을 때, 그에 대한 감성반응 역시 "가"와 "나" 가 섞인 "가/나"가 된다.>란 가설을 증명해서 향후 연구의 타당성을 확보하는 것이 이번 논문의 목적이다. 3D Studio Max의 스크립트로 만든 EAM을 이용하여, 바이페드 형식의 2개의 걸음걸이 샘플을 브랜딩 하였다. 6번 중 4번의 실험에서 성공적인 브랜딩 결과물을 추출할 수 있었다. 이것은 모션캡처 등을 이용하지 않더라도 기본적인 바이페드 데이터만 있다면 다양한 걸음걸이의 바이페드를 생산할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 현재 팔, 다리의 1Cycle 운동조건이 갖추어진 바이페드 샘플을 대상으로 하고 있지만, 완성된 시스템을 위해서는 다양한 운동조건에서도 브랜딩이 가능한 툴이 필요하다.

We investigated free radical reactions in lung of living mice using an in vivo electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer and nitroxyl radical as a probe. When an aqueous solution of nitroxyl probe was trans-tracheally administered into lung of living mice, a sharp triplet signal was observed at the chest of the mice. The signal showed a gradual decrease with time, obeying first-order kinetics. Signal decay rates of carbamoyl-PROXYL and carboxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-N-oxyl were faster than those of CAT-1 and carboxy-PROXYL. The mechanism of signal decay may be attributed to (i) reaction with reactive oxygen species such as ·OH, (ii) transfer into blood circulation, or (iii) reduction by compounds continuously supplied. However, little is known about the clearance mechanism of the nitroxyl probe in lung. To evaluate the disappearance of the ESR signal of the nitroxyl probe in lung, in vivo ESR spectra in chest of mice was recorded after trans-tracheal administration of an aqueous high concentrate solution of nitroxyl probe. A broad signal from the chest was observed immediately after administration due to Heisenberg spin exchange interaction. A sharp triplet signal was superimposed on the broad signal and the appearance of a triplet signal was followed by disappearance of the broad one. Peak-to-peak line width of the sharp signal was almost the same as that after intravenous administration. A distinct signal was detected in blood collected 10 min after trans-tracheal administration of nitroxyl probe. The observations indicate the transfer from lung to blood circulation and its contribution to clearance of probe in lung. Appearance of a sharp signal in blood after trans-tracheal administration was dependent on the kind of nitroxyl probe, showing a different transfer rate from lung to blood.

The sterilization of strain and algae in sea water was studied to see the possibility to apply the redox reaction of metal alloy to meet the international marine organization(IMO) regulation, which was to regulate deballasting concentration of strain and algae above 99% of sterilization. Two different kinds of brass were heat treated at different temperature and cooled rapidly to conserve the specific character of β brass. Untreated Muntz metal showed the best result of antimicrobial rate in sea water, and 7:3 brass showed similar result to Muntz metal. Heavy metal elution rate was inversely proportional to the sterilization capability.

Silicon heterojunction solar cells have been studied by many research groups. In this work, silicon heterojunction solar cells having a simple structure of Ag/ZnO:Al/n type a-Si:H/p type c-Si/Al were fabricated. Samples were fabricated to investigate the effect of transparent conductive oxide growth conditions on the interface between ZnO:Al layer and a-Si:H layer. One sample was deposited by ZnO:Al at low working pressure. The other sample was deposited by ZnO:Al at alternating high working pressure and low working pressure. Electrical properties and chemical properties were investigated by light I-V characteristics and AES method, respectively. The light I-V characteristics showed better efficiency on sample deposited by ZnO:Al by alternating high working pressure and low working pressure. Atomic concentrations and relative oxidation states of Si, O, and Zn were analyzed by AES method. For poor efficiency samples, Si was diffused into ZnO:Al layer and O was diffused at the interface of ZnO:Al and Si. Differentiated O KLL spectra, Zn LMM spectra, and Si KLL spectra were used for interface reaction and oxidation state. According to AES spectra, sample deposited by high working pressure was effective at reducing the interface reaction and the Si diffusion. Consequently, the efficiency was improved by suppressing the SiOx formation at the interface.

This study was aimed to develop a novel qualitative multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for simultaneous detection of genetically modified (GM) soy and maize within a single reaction. The specific primers designed to detect four respective GM events (A2704-12, MON88017, Bt11, and MON863) were included in the tetraplex PCR system. Each of PCR products for four GM events could be distinguished by agarose gel based on their different lengths. The specificity and reproducibility of this multiplex PCR were evaluated. This multiplex PCR consistently amplified only a fragment corresponding to a specific inserted gene in each of the four GM events and also amplified all four of the PCR products in the simulated GM mixture. These results indicate that this multiplex PCR method could be an effective qualitative detection method for screening GM soy and maize in a single reaction.

고준위폐기물처분장에서 완충재는 오랜 기간 동안 방사성핵종의 붕괴열과 여러가지 화학조건의 지하 수에 노출되며, 이러한 열수조건은 완충재물질의 차수 및 핵종저지 방벽성능에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있 다. 본 연구에서는 국산 스멕타이트를 대상으로 열수실험을 수행하고, 열수반응에 의한 스멕타이트 점토 의 팽창도, 층전하, 양이온교환능의 변화를 조사하였다. 열수실험 결과, 온도와 용액 중 칼륨농도를 증가 시켰을 때, 스멕타이트의 팽창도는 감소하였고, 층전하는 더 큰 음전하를 가졌으며, 양이온교환능도 감소 하였다.

We studied the initial reaction mechanism of Zn precursors, namely, di-methylzinc (Zn(CH3)2, DMZ) and diethylzinc (Zn(C2H5)2, DEZ), for zinc oxide thin-film growth on a Si (001) surface using density functional theory. We calculated the migration and reaction energy barriers for DMZ and DEZ on a fully hydroxylized Si (001) surface. The Zn atom of DMZ or DEZ was adsorbed on an O atom of a hydroxyl (-OH) due to the lone pair electrons of the O atom on the Si (001) surface. The adsorbed DMZ or DEZ migrated to all available surface sites, and rotated on the O atom with low energy barriers in the range of 0.00-0.13 eV. We considered the DMZ or DEZ reaction at all available surface sites. The rotated and migrated DMZs reacted with the nearest -OH to produce a uni-methylzinc (-ZnCH3, UMZ) group and methane (CH4) with energy barriers in the range of 0.53-0.78 eV. In the case of the DEZs, smaller energy barriers in the range of 0.21-0.35 eV were needed for its reaction to produce a uni-ethylzinc (-ZnC2H5, UEZ) group and ethane (C2H6). Therefore, DEZ is preferred to DMZ due to its lower energy barrier for the surface reaction.

본 연구에서는 Water Gas Shift (WGS) 반응이 일어나는 분리막 반응기 (MR) 대상공정에 대해서 동적모사 (dynamic simulation)를 실시하고 시간과 위치에 따른 온도 및 수소 농도 변화 등을 살펴보았다. 모사 결과에 의하면 도입부에서 반경방향으로의 수소 농도, 수소 분압 및 온도차가 가장 컸으며 출구에서 가장 작았다. 또한, 수소분압의 차이가 가장 큰 도입부에서 수소의 flux가 가장 크게 나타나며 출구에서 일산화탄소의 전환률은 0.65였다.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis and autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy. Campylobacter jejuni is the most commonly identified infectious trigger for GBS. A sialic-acid containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Campylobacter is thought to be involved in the triggering of GBS. The galE (UDPgalactoset- epimerase) gene of Campylobacter spp. is involved in the synthesis of LPS. In this study, we detected the galE gene in Campylobacter spp. responsible for triggering the onset of GBS. The PCR assay detected the presence of the gene in 14 of the 25 (56%) Campylobacter isolates from domestic chicken, 20 of the 28 (71.4%) Campylobacter isolates from imported chicken and 50 of the 51 (98%) Campylobacter isolates from human clinical samples. Also, the specific 497-bp region of galE sequence in Campylobacters responsible for triggering the onset of GBS was amplified from GBS patient. These results could provide evidence of the first GBS-related C. jejuni infection in Korea.
