β-Ga2O3 has become the focus of considerable attention as an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor following the successful development of bulk single crystals using the melt growth method. Accordingly, homoepitaxy studies, where the interface between the substrate and the epilayer is not problematic, have become mainstream and many results have been published. However, because the cost of homo-substrates is high, research is still mainly at the laboratory level and has not yet been scaled up to commercialization. To overcome this problem, many researchers are trying to grow high quality Ga2O3 epilayers on hetero-substrates. We used diluted SiH4 gas to control the doping concentration during the heteroepitaxial growth of β-Ga2O3 on c-plane sapphire using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Despite the high level of defect density inside the grown β-Ga2O3 epilayer due to the aggregation of random rotated domains, the carrier concentration could be controlled from 1 × 1019 to 1 × 1016 cm-3 by diluting the SiH4 gas concentration. This study indicates that β-Ga2O3 hetero-epitaxy has similar potential to homo-epitaxy and is expected to accelerate the commercialization of β-Ga2O3 applications with the advantage of low substrate cost.

Olfactory receptors (OR) are primarily responsible for the detection of odorant molecules. We previously demonstrated that OR7D4, an OR for androstenone, is expressed in the vomeronasal organ and olfactory epithelium tissue of stallions. Recently, the expression of OR1I1 in the human testes was reported and the possible roles of OR1I1 in the testicular cells were suggested. The objectives of this study were 1) to explore the expression of OR7D4 and OR1I1 in stallion testes, and 2) to define the specific localization of OR7D4 and OR1I1 in the testicular tissues. Stallion testicular tissue samples were used for this study. Western blot was performed to confirm the cross-reactivity of OR7D4 and OR1I1 antibody with stallion testicular tissue samples. OR7D4 and OR1I1 gene expressions were investigated using reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in stallion testes. Immunofluorescence was performed to investigate the expression of OR7D4 and OR1I1 in stallion testicular tissues. The protein bands for OR7D4 and OR1I1 from the testes were observed at approximately 38 kDa and 43 kDa, respectively. The mRNA of OR7D4 and OR1I1 were detected in stallion testes. Immunolabeling of OR7D4 and OR1I1 in the cytoplasm of both spermatogonia and Leydig cells was observed. In conclusion, androstenone and another odorant chemical, which is recognized by OR1I1, may play an important role in stallion testes.

토마토의 착과와 수확량은 여름철 비닐하우스내 고온스트레스로 인하여 감소하게 된다. 본 연구는 여름철 화천지역에 위치한 비닐하우스에서 지베렐린(GA3)과 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid(2,4-D) 처리가 토마토의 수확량, 착과율, 착과 후 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 ‘Adoration‘ 품종을 이용하여 실험하였다. GA3 0-, 5-, 10-, 15mg·L−1와 2,4-D 0-, 5-, 10mg·L−1를 개화 초기에 처리한 후 착과율, 수확량, 과실품질과 관련된 형질을 관찰한 결과, GA3 10mg·L−1처리구에서 대조구에 비해 14.2%의 착과율 증가를 보였다. GA3처리구에서는 수확량, 과중, 상품과실 수에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 2,4-D를 개화기에 처리했을 경우 착과율, 수확량, 상품과의 과중에 영향을 미쳤으며 GA3과 2,4-D를 각각 5mg·L−1 농도로 혼합처리 하였을 때 가장 높은(62.5%) 착과율을 나타내었다. 과실크기와 고형물함량은 GA3처리구에서만 유의성 있는 차이를 보였다. 따라서 여름철 비닐하우스의 고온조건에서 GA3 0mg·L−1처리구와 2,4-D 5mg·L−1를 처리했을 때 착과율이 가장 높아 많은 수확량을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Immunotherapeutic approaches using agonist antibodies or fusion proteins of immunomodulatory molecules significantly inhibit tumor growth and boost cell-mediated immunity. We isolated mRNA from previously reported 1D4 hybridoma cells and amplified the variable regions of the heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) genes using reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Using a linker, the amplified sequences for the heavy and light chains were each connected to the sequence for a single polypeptide chain that was designed to be expressed. VL and VH fragments were cloned into the pOptiVEC-TOPO vector containing the human CH2-CH3 fragment. Then, 293T cells were transfected with the 1D4 single-chain Fv-Fc (scFv-Fc) constructs. A549 cells were used for presentation of the 1D4 antigen. Flow cytometry was performed for analysis of the secreted 1D4 scFv-Fc constructs. The DNA sequence of 1D4 scFv-Fc was obtained. The 1D4 scFv-Fc constructs were expressed by the transfected 293T cells and secreted into the culture medium. The immunoreactivity of the secreted scFv-Fc construct was lower than that of the murine 1D4 antibody for A549 cells. A 1D4 scFv-Fc construct for immunotherapy was developed.

Construction industry became huge and complicated as the time went by. It has been so rapidly developed that the construction companies can not survive in the market if the higher technology and scientific approach are not applied. Especially in the field of construction management, it started from the schedule control which simply monitored the work progress, but now it was changed to the integrated construction management covering analysis and forecasting, projected and actual performance management, impact on the project, etc. However, even the integrated construction management has a limit due to the uncertainty arising out of fast track which is a major characteristic of construction industry. So, to minimize the risk of uncertainty, a new concept so-called 4-D CAD system was recently introduced. 4-D CAD system has been applied to design, construction and construction management. The system combines the 3-D CAD system with time management technique that makes it possible to establish the management system with a concept of space, materialize the potential risks, and introduce the life-cycle concept in the whole process covering project initiation, design, construction, completion, commissioning, etc. This paper introduces the 4-D CAD system, reviews the effect and problem arising when applying the system into actual job sites, studies the usage of the system in connection with the conventional construction management system and any improvement, and eventually proposes the method of improving the construction management in domestic projects and of leveling up the construction management technique.

맥작에 있어서 문제 광엽잡초를 2,4-D에 의하여 방제하기 위하여 처리약량, 처리시기, 토성별로 실험을 실시하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 10a 당 유제 2,4-D amine salt 70cc를 유효분벽 종지기에 처리하였을 때 보리에 거의 약해를 주지 않고 대부분의 광엽잡초의 방제가 가능하였다. 2) 2,4-D의 최적처리시기는 유효분벽 종지기이며, 이보다도 빠르거나 늦게 될 때에는 약해를 내어 수량감소를 가져왔다. 3) 보리의 내성이 가장 강한 시기에 최적약량처리가 될 때에는 토성에 환계없이 2,4-D의 적용이 가능함을 시사하였다.

This study was conducted to develop a predictive model for the growth of Escherichia coli strain RC-4-D isolated from red kohlrabi sprout seeds. We collected E. coli kinetic growth data during red kohlrabi seed sprouting under isothermal conditions (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C). Baranyi model was used as a primary order model for growth data. The maximum growth rate (μmax) and lag-phase duration (LPD) for each temperature (except for 10°C LPD) were determined. Three kinds of secondary models (suboptimal Ratkowsky square-root, Huang model, and Arrhenius-type model) were compared to elucidate the influence of temperature on E. coli growth rate. The model performance measures for three secondary models showed that the suboptimal Huang square-root model was more suitable in the accuracy (1.223) and the suboptimal Ratkowsky square-root model was less in the bias (0.999), respectively. Among three secondary order model used in this study, the suboptimal Ratkowsky square-root model showed best fit for the secondary model for describing the effect of temperature. This model can be utilized to predict E. coli behavior in red kohlrabi sprout production and to conduct microbial risk assessments.

The results from air-coupled impact-echo(IE) tests into concrete slab should be interpreted and represented so that field engineers can effectively check the condition of the structure. To improve these issues, IE data in the form of “4-D spectrum plot” can be utilized to identify the information of concrete defects effectively. The concept of the 4-D plot is introduced, and the effects of image parameters (e.g. frequency range, transparency index) are experimentally investigated in this study.

본 연구는 최근 한방자원, 사료자원, 바이오에너지 자원 등 다양하게 이용되는 국내 자생 억새(Miscanthus sinensis)의 대량생산 및 신품종 개발을 위한 조직배양체계 확립을 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 억새 완숙종자로부터의 캘러스 유도와 재분화를 위한 식물생장조절제의 적정농도를 규명하였다. 억새의 성숙종자유래 배발생 캘러스 유도를 위해 2,4-D, IBA, NAA를 1~10 mg·L-1의 농도로 단용 처리한 결과, 5 mg·L-1 2,4-D 처리에서 가장 높은 85.3%의 캘러스 유도율과 캘러스의 증식을 보였으며 조직배양 과정 중 갈변화율도 가장 낮았다. 또한, 캘러스의 재분화를 위해 옥신인 NAA와 Kinetin, 2-iP, 또는 BAP 등의 사이토키닌을 혼용 처리한 결과, 각각 19.0%~59.0%, 23.0%~67.3%, 14.7%~83.7%의 재분화율을 보여 NAA와 BAP의 혼용 처리구가 NAA와 Kinetin 또는 2-iP와 혼용 처리구보다 식물체 재분화에 효과적이었다. 특히 3 mg·L-1 NAA와 5 mg·L-1 BAP 혼용 처리된 배지에서의 재분화율이 83.7%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 캘러스 당 재분화 식물체 개수도 5.5개로 동일농도의 2-iP 또는 Kinetin 혼용 처리 시 2.1 및 2.0개보다 많았다. 본 연구결과 억새 성숙 종자로부터의 배발생 캘러스 유도에는 5 mg·L-1 2,4-D가 그리고 캘러스의 재분화에는 3 mg·L-1 NAA와 5 mg·L-1 BAP 혼용 처리가 가장 효율적이었다. 본 연구를 통해 확립된 조직배양체계는 억새의 대량생산 및 신품종 개발에 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

Sorption of chlorinated pesticides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and atrazine onto natural clays (montmorillonite and zeolite) modified with cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium (HDTMA) and a natural soil was investigated using batch adsorbers. The clays were transformed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by the cation exchange between clay surface and HDTMA up to 100% of the cation exchange capacity (CEC). Physicochemical characteristics of the sorbents such as pH, PZC (point of zero charge), organic carbon content (foc), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were analyzed. Sorption isotherm models such as Freundlich and Langmuir were fitted to the experimental data, resulting Langmuir model (R2 > 0.986) was fitted better than Freundlich model (R2 > 0.973). Sorption capacity (Q0) for 2,4-D and atrazine was in the order of HDTMA-montmorillonite > HDTMA-zeolite > natural soil corresponding to the increase in organic carbon content (foc). The sorption of the pesticides was also affected by pH. The sorption of 2,4-D decreased with the increase in pH, whereas that of atrazine was not changed. This indicated that the sorption capacity (Q0) of 2,4-D and atrazine was not affected by the solution pH because they exist as anionic (deprotonated) forms at pH above pKa. The results indicate that organoclay has a promising potential to reduce chlorinated pesticides in the effluent from golf courses.

반수체 육성은 육종연한을 단축시키기 위해 유용한 도구이다. 본 연구는 밀 품종 조기 육성을 위한 반수체 육종 시스템을 개발하기 위해 반수체 육성시 식물생장조절제 처리가 배 배양에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사한 것이다. 밀 이삭의 제웅 작업을 수행하고 옥수수와 원연교잡한 후 종자결실은 2,4-D 및 2,4,5-T 150 mg/L, dicamba 50 mg/L 처리에서 가장 좋았으며, 배형성은 2,4-D 및 2,4,5-T 100 mg/L, dicamba 50

물레나물 약유래 캘러스로부터 신초 재분화에 미치는 저온 전처리 및 식물생장조절물질의 효과를 조사하기 약배양을 실시하였다. 약유래 캘러스 유도 및 식물체 재분화에 미치는 식물생장조절제의 효과를 조사하기 위해 2,4-D, NAA, BA 및 TDZ를 8종류로 혼합한 1/2 MS 배지에 약배양을 실시한 결과 물레나물은 식물생장소절물질에 의존적인 식물로 배지내 식물생장조절물질이 첨가되지 않으면 캘러스가 형성되지 않았다. 2,4-D가 포함된 배지에서 약유래 캘러스 형성이 양호하였으며 2.0mg/L 9,4-D단용 처리에서 캘러스 형성율이 52.6%로 가장 높았으며 지속적 캘러스의 증식 및 shoot 분화는 0.1mg/L 2,4-D와 1.0mg/L BA 혼용처리가 효과적이었다. 2.0mg/L 2,4-D 단용처리에 의해 형성된 캘러스로부터 부정적 다수의 신초분화에 미치는 TDZ와 BA 효과를 조사한 결과 1.0mg/L TDZ 처리구에서 단 한개의 shoot가 분화된 것을 제외하고는 갤러스가 갈변되어 효과적이지 못하였으나 모든 BA 처리구에서 갤러스는 shoot가 분화되어 TDZ에 비해 효과적이었다. 특히 3.0mg/L BA 처리구에서는 캘러스 모두 shoo4로 분화되어 다수의 multishoot가 형성되어 가장 효과적이었다. 개화 1주일전의 화뢰를 5℃ 에서 8일간, 15일간 저온 전처리 하여 0.1mg/L 2,4-D와 1.0 mg/L BA 혼용처리된 DIS 배지에 배양한 결과 무처리에 비해 처기구에서 약의 생육기간이 길었으며 특히 5℃ 15일간 저온처리한 약이 배양기간 동안 지속적으로 캘러스 및 부정 shoot를 형성하여 저온처리 효과가 있었다.

갯방풍의 캘러스 유도와 식물체 재분화에 영향을 미치는 생장조절제에 대한 몇 가지 요인들을 조사하였다. 식물체 조직으로부터 캘러스의 유도에 적절한 배지의 조건은 1∼2 mg/L, 2,4-D와 1∼2 mg/L BA 혼용처리 조합에서 캘러스의 유도율이 높았고, 조직별 캘러스 유도율은 엽조직 보다 엽병에서 우수하였으나, 다른 식물의 부정아 발생 양상과 달리 엽조직에서 발생한 캘러스로부터 부정아와 부정근의 형성을 보였다. 조직별 캘러스의 식물체 분화율은 식물생장 조절제의 농도가 높을수록 양호하였고 적정농도는 1 mg/L NAA와 2 mg/L BA 이었다. 이후 분화된 식물체를 계대배양하여 대량증식을 위해 multiple shoot를 발생시키고 뿌리를 발생시킬 수 있도록 발근배지에 옮겨 생육 시킨 후 식물체의 초장에 따라 vermiculite에 순화시켜 생존율을 조사한 결과 높은 생존율을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
