초임계 CO2유체를 이용하여 미강 중 표면활성물질을 추출하고 추출물의 표면활성능을 최적화하는 추출 조건을 반응표면분석법을 통해 조사하고자 하였다. 추출수율은 독립변수인 압력, 온도, 보조용매량이 많을수록 높았으며, 보조용매량이 추출수율에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 회귀분석을 통해서 얻은 최적 추출 조건은 추출압력 330 bar, 추출온도 65oC, 보조용매량 250 g이었다. 표면활성능 지표인 계면장력은 추출압력과 추출온도가 증가할수록 그리고 보조용매량이 높을수록 낮았으며, 추출수율과 마찬가지로 보조용매량이 계면장력에 가장 큰 영향을 주었지만 추출압력과 추출온도 등의 변수에 의한 영향은 비교적 적었다. 회귀분석을 통해서 얻은 최적 추출 조건(낮은 계면장력)은 추출압력 350 bar, 추출온도 65oC, 보조용매량 50 g이었다. 또한 D-optimal design을 통해 얻은 실험 결과를 바탕으로 회귀분석을 하였을 때 예측모델식은 실제 측정값과 비교해 높은 유의성을 나타내는 것으로 판단되었다. 보조용매량이 많을수록 극성 물질이 더 많이 추출되어 낮은 계면장력 값을 예상하였지만 실제 측정 결과 보조용매량이 가장 낮은 조건인 50 g에서 계면장력은 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 이의 규명을 위하여 TLC 및 HPLC 분석을 통한 추출물에 대한 성분 조사, 추출물을 이용한 유화액 제조, 유화액 특성 평가 등 추가 실험이 필요한 것으로 사료되었다.

xylanolytic gut bacterium isolated from Eisenia fetida, Cellulosimicrobium sp. strain HY-13, produced an extracellular glycoside hydrolase capable of efficiently degrading mannose-based substrates such as locust bean gum (LBG), guar gum, mannotetraose, and mannopentaose. The purified mannan-degrading enzyme (ManS, 34,926 Da) from strain HY-13 was found to have an N-terminal amino acid sequence of DEATTDGLHVVDD, which has not yet been identified. Under the optimized reaction conditions of 50℃ and pH 7.0, ManK exhibited extraordinary high specific activities of 7,109 IU/mg and 5,158 IU/mg toward LBG and guar gum, respectively, while the enzyme showed no effect on sugars substituted with p-nitrophenol and various non-mannose carbohydrates. ManK strongly attached to Avicel, lignin, β-cyclodextrin, and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) granules, but not bound to chitin, chitosan, curdlan, or insoluble oat spelt xylan. The aforementioned characteristics of ManS suggest that it is a unique endo-β -1,4-mannanase with out additional carbohydrolase activities, which differentiates it from other well-known carbohydrolases.

The emulsion and micro-encapsuled formulation from three essential oils, cassia, thyme white and lemon grass were tested for their insecticidal activities against Lycoriella ingenua (Dufour) adults at 0.3% concentration. As a result, the micro-encapsules than emulsion formulation was confirmed to show greater activity. Based on this result, insecticidal activities at several levels of concentration were examined, resulting in more than 80% insecticidal activity after 30 minutes at 0.6% level of cassia formulation. And also, insecticidal activity of three oil-based micro-encapsuled formulations lasted for up to 12 hours at 0.9% concentration. The main ingredients derived from three essential oils were evaluated on the insecticidal activity against Lycoriella ingenua. As a result, in case of thymol from thyme white, it showed more than 80% mortality after over 30 minutes at 0.25%, and in cinnamic aldehyde and citral, exhibited 88% and 82% mortality after 30 minutes at the 0.5% level, respectively. These three compounds were examined for whether the insecticidal activity was maintained depending on being over time. In case of thymol, it maintained good insecticidal activity against Lycoriella ingenua at 0.5% level until 120 hours, while cinnamic aldehyde and citral showed lower activity after 12 hours.

A small number of active galactic nuclei are known to exhibit prominent double peak emission profiles that are well-fitted by a relativistic accretion disk model. We develop a Monte Carlo code to compute the linear polarization of a double peaked broad emission line arising from Thomson scattering. A Keplerian accretion disk is adopted for the double peak emission line region and the geometry is assumed to be Schwarzschild. Far from the accretion disk where flat Minkowski geometry is appropriate, we place an azimuthally symmetric scattering region in the shape of a spherical shell sliced with Δμ =0.1. Adopting a Monte Carlo method we generate line photons in the accretion disk in arbitrary directions in the local rest frame and follow the geodesic paths of the photons until they hit the scattering region. The profile of the polarized flux is mainly determined by the relative location of the scattering region with respect to the emission source. When the scattering region is in the polar direction, the degree of linear polarization also shows a double peak structure. Under favorable conditions we show that up to 0.6% linear polarization may be obtained. We conclude that spectropolarimetry can be a powerful probe to reveal much information regarding the accretion disk geometry of these active galactic nuclei.

Studying awareness, importance, satisfaction, and wearing behavior of functional textiles for active silver generation related with gender and age is expected to contribute to clothing products development to improve and maintain their health and marketing strategy fit for user characteristics. For empirical research, a survey was developed and the aged 50 and above were 332 respondents. The results of the study are as follows. First, silver generation considered all the clothing comfort sensations important when wearing clothes, such as tactile sensation, clothing pressure sensation, thermal/wet sensation, and motion sensation in human physiological aspect. Also, stretchy fabrics were ranked first in awareness, the number of wearing times, and satisfaction of comfort functional fabrics. More than 30% of silver generation have fifteen items out of 36 functional clothes. Second, in analysis of awareness by gender on functional clothing products, women were more aware of health/safety-oriented fabrics than men were. Otherwise, men had more knowledge about the water-related properties of functional fabrics than women have, such as water/moisture absorptive and water-repellent/vapor permeable fabrics. While women have more indoor casual wear, men had more active sportswear. Also, women expressed a strong preference to the stretchy function of fabrics.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Evjenth-Hamberg stretching on the active range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint and the pennation angle of the semitendinosus muscle. Eighty healthy adults participated in this study. The active ROM of the hip joint was measured by a goniometer and the pennation angle of the semitendinosus muscle was measured by ultrasonographic imaging (USI). Both ROM and pennation angle were recorded before and after the static stretching and the Evjenth-Hamberg stretching, respectively. Data were analyzed using paired t-lest and independent t-test at p<.05. The results were as follows: 1) The active ROM of the hip joint increased significantly after both stretching interventions compared with the baseline (p<.001). However, the active ROM of the hip joint increased significantly in Evjenth-Hamberg stretching compared with static stretching. 2) The pennation angle decreased significantly after both stretching interventions compared with the baseline (p<.001). However, the pennation angle decreased significantly in Evjenth-Hamberg stretching compared with static stretching. 3) Reliability data showed that there was a high consistency in USl measurements (ICC=.978). Our findings suggest that the Evjenth-Hamberg stretching was more effective than static stretching in increasing the active ROM of the hip joint and decreasing the pennation angle of the semitendinosus muscle.
