This is an experimental study on manufacturing of non-cement matrix. Materials like cement and blowing agent in foamed concrete is replaced by by-products from blast furnace slag and paper ash. Further, the experiment was performed by replacing alkali with natural gypsum by (0, 5, 15, 20, 25, 35, 45) of weight of alkali (wt.%) in order to reduce the amount of expensive alkali activator. Sample NG-0.15 with density showed lowest. After this point, density increases as replacement ratio increases. The compressive strength test result, showed a similar trend with density. And it showed that compressive strength of the NG-0.45 was highest.

In the previous result, the flexural strength of geopolymer prepared was affected by the evaporation of water content or the shrinkage rate in the curing process of specimen. We investigated the effect of SiO2/H2O ratio on the physical property of geopolymer prepared in this research. The specimen of geopolymer tile was made from mine tailing and melting slag. The maximum flexural strength was obtained at SiO2/H2O ratio of 0.21 under our experimental condition. And the lowest was obtained at SiO2/H2O 0.41. EDS analysis was acted to elucidate this cause. According to the results, it was due to the extent of geopolymerization at the inside and outside of specimen.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of compressive strength and workability according to the NaOH and KOH addition method as powder of mortar which is made of Non-sintered binder for the reuse of resources and the CO2 reduction

Cold stress at the seedling stage is a major threat to rice production. Cold tolerance is controlled by complex genetic factors. We used an F7 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 123 individuals derived from the cross of a cold-tolerant japonica and a cold-sensitive indica cultivars, for QTL mapping. Phenotypic evaluation of the parents and RILs in an 18/8oC (day/night) cold-stress regime showed continuous variations for cold tolerance or sensitivity. Six QTLs for seedling cold tolerance were identified on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 10, and 11 with percent phenotypic variation (R2) ranging from 6.1% to 16.5%. Three main-effect QTLs (qSCT1, qSCT4, and qSCT11) were detected in all cold-tolerant RILs which explained high sum of phenotypic variation (SPV) ranging from 27.1% to 50.6%. Two QTLs (qSCT1 and qSCT11) on chromosomes 1 and 11 were fine mapped. The marker In1-c3 from ORF LOC_Os01g69910 of the BAC clone B1455F06 encoding calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) and another marker, In11-d1 from ORF LOC_Os11g37720 (Duf6 gene) of the BAC clone OSJNBa0029K08, co-segregated with seedling cold tolerance. These two InDel markers amplified 241-bp and 158-bp alleles, respectively, in cold-tolerant RILs, and in the cold-tolerant donor Jinbu, which were absent in cold-sensitive parent BR29 and cold-sensitive RILs.

조혈세포의 주요 서식지가 되는 골수기질세포는 줄기세포의 운영을 결정하는 다양한 인자들을 제공한다. 방사선 요법은 항암치료법으로 널리 활용되고 있으나, 조혈세포의 파괴로 인한 부작용이 심각한 문제로서 조혈세포에 의한 혈액 세포가 빠른 시간 내에 회복되는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 방사선을 조사했을 때의 줄기세포 서식지를 구성하는 세포인 골수기질세포에서 발현되는 유전자를 탐색하여 그 기능과 조절 및 혈액 형성을 이해하는 기초를 마련하고자 하였다. 방법

자궁내막증은 흔한 부인과적 질병이며 여성 불임의 한 원인이 되나 그 발생 원인에 대하여서는 아직 논란의 여지가 많다. 최근 월경혈의 역류가 한 원인이며 자궁내막증 환자가 정상여성에서 보다 역류되는 월경혈의 양이 많거나 침습성이 강한 것이 자궁내막증의 발생 원인이 될 수 있다는 이론들이 소개되었다. 종양이나 자궁내막 조직의 침습이나 전이에는 세포막외 기질 및 기저막의 파괴가 일어나야 하는데 이 과정에 plasminogen activators (PAs)나
