MMBR system has been suggested as a promising system to resolve harvesting problems induced from low settling efficiency of microalgae. And recently, a lot of research on reducing fouling at the MMBR system has investigated focused on EPS in many cases. EPS of microalgae mainly consists of polysaccharides and protein components, and is produced through photosynthesis and nitrogen-carbon metabolic pathways. Especially, P-EPS is one of major compounds which occur membrane fouling phenomenon, as its hydrophobic protein components cause floc formation and cake layer accumulation. And it is already known that almost every microalgae can metabolize P-EPS or Chl-a when nitrogen sources as a substrate is insufficient or exhausted situation. With the above backgrounds, uptake rates of P-EPS or Chl-a by Scenedesmus quadricauda according to the type of carbon source and nitrogen concentration were evaluated in order to verify correlation between carbon source vs P-EPS production, and indeed Scenedesmus quadricauda uses P-EPS or Chl-a when the amounts of nitrogen sourc es in the feed is not satisfied. As a result, it was shown that P-EPS and Chl-a production were increased proportional to nitrogen concentration under organic carbon condition. And especially, the amo unts of P-EPS and Chl-a in the cell were diminished with the nitrogen source becomes insufficient or exhausted. Because P-EPS accelerates fouling at the MMBR system, P-EPS degradation by Scenedesmus quadricauda in order to get nitrogen source may contribute to reducing fouling. About a affects of N-consumed Chl-a to the MMBR fouling, more survey is needed. On the contrary, considering the purpose of MMBR system of this study, i.e. harvesting useful high value microalgae efficiently feeding adequate industrial process wastewater, it seems like difficult to maintain satisfied metabolic activity and to harvest with high yield rate using nitrogen-poor MMBR feed.

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDts) with tunable fluorescence properties in aqueous media were synthesized hydrothermally. The excitation wavelength variation to obtain the maximum emission produced a blue shift in the emission peaks upon dilution in an aqueous solution. The shift can be explained by a re-absorption phenomenon in a concentrated solution. The interparticle interaction within was responsible to show dilution-dependent optical behavior. The as-synthesized solution of CDts did not show any prominent absorption peak over a wide range. However, upon dilution, two peaks became predominant. The concentration-dependent behavior was observed during the interaction with metal cations. Cationic salts of Co(II) and Hg(II) caused quenching at different dilutions of CDts. This might be explained by the exposure of different surface functional groups during dilution and metal-ion–CDts charge transfer. The quenched fluorescence of CDts was rescued using ascorbic acid. Therefore, the one-pot detection of Co(II)/Hg(II) and ascorbic acid was designed through a ‘Turn Off/On’ phenomenon.

PURPOSES : This study analyzes the characteristics of nitrogen oxide concentration by applying titanium dioxide to existing roads in urban areas, using correlation analysis and a generalized linear model. METHODS : To analyze the characteristics of nitrogen oxide concentration with/without applying titanium dioxide to the urban road segment, data acquisition was conducted for nitrogen oxide concentration, weather information, and traffic information, etc., and a correlation analysis was conducted for each factor, with/without applying titanium dioxide to the roads. In addition, nitrogen oxide concentration generation models with/without the application of titanium dioxide to the roads were estimated using a generalized linear model. RESULTS : The results demonstrate that relative humidity and temperature were found to be slightly correlated with the nitrogen oxide concentration, both with and without the application of titanium dioxide to the roads; however, wind speed, solar radiation, and traffic volume were found to have somewhat low correlation according to the results of a correlation analysis. Moreover, relative humidity, temperature, solar radiation, and traffic volume were significant when titanium dioxide was applied to the roads, based on the estimated model from a generalized linear model, and the wind speed, solar radiation, and traffic volume were significant for the absence of titanium dioxide on the roads. CONCLUSIONS : Analytical results indicated that the characteristics of nitrogen oxide concentration vary depending on the application of titanium dioxide to the roads. In particular, when titanium dioxide was applied to the roads, the relative humidity and temperature were analyzed; according to both analyses, i.e., correlation analysis and a generalized linear model, the nitrogen oxide concentration was affected.

PURPOSES : This study analyzes the characteristics of generated fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) at roadsides using a statistical method, namely, a generalized linear model (GLM). The study also investigates the applicability and capability of a machine learning methods such as a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) for predicting PM2.5 and NOX generations. METHODS : To analyze the characteristics of PM2.5 and NOX generations at roadsides, data acquisition was conducted in a specific segment of roads, and PM2.5 and NOX prediction models were estimated using GLM. In addition, to investigate the applicability and capability of a machine learning methods, PM2.5 and NOX prediction models were estimated using a GRNN and were compared with models employing previously estimated GLMs using r-square, mean absolute deviation (MAD), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root mean square error (RMSE) as parameters. RESULTS : Results revealed that relative humidity, wind speed, and traffic volume were significant for both PM2.5 and NOX prediction models based on estimated models from a GLM. In addition, to compare the applicability and capability of the GLM and GRNN models (i.e., PM2.5 and NOX prediction models), the GRNN model of PM2.5 and NOX prediction was found to yield better statistical significance for r-square, MAD, MAPE, and RMSE as compared with the same parameters used in the GLM. CONCLUSIONS : Analytical results indicated that a higher relative humidity and traffic volume could lead to higher PM2.5 and NOX concentrations. By contrast, lower wind speed could affect higher PM2.5 and NOX concentrations at roadsides. In addition, based on a comparison of two statistical methods (i.e., GLM and GRNN models used to estimate PM2.5 and NOX), GRNN model yielded better statistical significance as compared with GLM.

본 연구는 지구온난화와 식물 생장의 제한요소로 알려져 있는 질소가 단양쑥부쟁이의 생육에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 지구온난화 조건하에서 질소의 농도를 다르 게 처리하여 생육시킨 후 그 결과를 비교하였다. 이를 위하 여 온실을 두 구획으로 나누고, 한 곳은 CO2를 처리하지 않은 대조구로, 다른 한 곳은 CO2를 처리한 처리구로 설정 하였다. 대조구는 대기 중 CO2 농도와 온도를 그대로 반영 하였고, 처리구는 대조구보다 CO2 농도와 온도를 더 높게 상승시켰다. 그 후, 대조구와 처리구 내에서 각각 개체수(1, 2, 3 개체)와 질소량(0, 2, 20g)을 다르게 처리하여 지상부, 잎 폭 그리고 잎 길이에 차이를 비교하였다. 그 결과 개체수 가 하나 이거나 두 개일때, 대조구와 처리구 모두 질소량이 증가할 수록 줄기길이, 잎 길이 그리고 잎 폭 모두 좁아졌다. 개체수가 세 개일 때, 질소량이 증가할 수록 대조구는 줄기 길이가 낮아졌고, 처리구는 줄기길이, 잎 길이 그리고 잎 폭 모두 짧아졌다. 일반적으로 단양쑥부쟁이는 하천변에서 군락을 이루어 서식하는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이 결과는 지구온난화는 거의 영향이 없고, 하천 오염이 심해질 경우 단양쑥부쟁이의 생육에 피해를 입힐 수 있을 것으로 판단된 다.

The objective of this study is to offer basic scientific data to support policy decision-making for the improved control of nitrogen dioxide(NO₂) and nitrous acid(HONO) in residence. The survey on concentration of NO₂and HONO in 20 houses in Seoul and Daegu was performed from January to February, 2013. Average NO₂concentrations in the kitchen, living room, and room were 25.7 ± 7.7 ppb, 24.3 ± 8.5 ppb, and 19.6 ± 5.6 ppb, respectively. Also, average HONO concentration were 3.6 ± 1.0 ppb, 3.1 ± 0.9 ppb, and 3.1 ± 0.9 ppb, respectively. NO₂and HONO concentration in kitchen were significantly higher than the concentration in the living room and room(p<0.05). Concentration ratios of HONO/NO2 were ranged to 0.070 0.277 for indoor air and 0.004 0.161 for outdoor air. Indoor HONO/NO2 ratios were higher than the outdoor HONO/NO₂ratios.

본 연구는 염생식물인 퉁퉁마디를 대상으로 하여 신간척지에서 안정적인 재배법을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 먼저 퉁퉁마디의 발아특성을 알아보기 위해 염농도(NaCl 0 ~ 3% 농도) 별발아율 시험을 수행하였다. 10oC에서는 모든 염농도에서 발아속도는 느리나 15일까지 발아가 지속되어, 78 ~ 90%의 발아율을 나타내었다. 20oC이상에서는 4일 안에 최대의 발아율을 나타내었으며, NaCl 3%에서 온도가 올라갈수록 발아율이 저하되는 경향을 보였다. 퉁퉁마디의 질소시비량 별 생육특성을 알아보기 위해 온실포트실험을 실시한 결과, 퉁퉁마디 파종 후 5일 후부터 발아가 시작하였고, 퉁퉁마디의 생육은 질소시비량이 증가할수록초장 및 분지 등이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 염농도에 따른 생육특성을 조사하기 위해 양액 재배 조건에서 염농도에 따른 퉁퉁마디 생육을 실험하였다. 양액조건 상태에서NaCl을 처리하지 않으면 생육이 저조하여 1개월 이후에 고사하기 시작했으며, NaCl을 처리한 구에서는 NaCl 200 mM에서생육이 좋았고, NaCl 500 mM 이상의 염농도에서도 재배가 가능할 것이라 생각된다. 신간척지에서 퉁퉁마디의 어린 싹을6월에 이식하여 질소시비량이 퉁퉁마디 생육에 미치는 영향을조사하였다. 퉁퉁마디의 초장 및 분지수 등이 질소시비량이 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였으나, 인산을 비롯한 무기성분함량은 유의적인 차이가 없었다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between concentration of urea nitrogen, glucose, cholesterol and number of transferable embryos for the purpose of improving reproductive performance in blood of Hanwoo donors. Fifty five, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU=1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3th administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg PGF2α was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received 100μg GnRH at the time of 1nd insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 or 8 days after the 1st insemination. Cows with BUN ＜10, 11～18 and ≥19 mg/dl had number of transferable embryos of 4.3±1.3, 5.8±1.8 and 4.7±2.1 respectively. The mean numbers of total ova from < 10 and 10≤ of corpora lutea(CL) was 8.9 and 14.3, respectively. The number of transferable embryos differed between < 10 and 10≤ CL was 4.8 and 5.6, respectively.

In this study, we estimated nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) concentrations in microenvironments where residential indoor, residential outdoor, other indoors, and transportation using measured personal exposure and multiple linear regression analysis of time-weighted average model, and compared with measured NO₂ concentration in microenvironments. Measured residential indoor, outdoor and other indoor NO₂ concentration was 22.22±9.59 ppb, 23.64±9.62 ppb, and 22.07±13.90 ppb, respectively. NO₂ concentrations in residential indoor and outdoor, total outdoor, other indoor, and transportation by multiple regression analysis were significantly estimated as 20.48 ppb, 32.79 ppb, 24.35 ppb, and 28.82 ppb, respectively (p= 0.000). Measured and estimated NO₂ concentration were similar with each other, therefore NO₂ concentrations in each microenvironment were able to be estimated using time-weighted average model and personal exposure with multiple regression analysis.

본 연구는 수경재배시 산호수 생육과 개화를 증진시키기 위한 적절한 질소농도 및 공급시기를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 질소농도가 120, 150, 180, 210mg·L-1로 조성된 양액을 1년생과 2년생 Ardisia pusilla에 휴면기(10월~3월) 제외한 기간 급액(ED; except dormancy), 생육 전기간 급액(TG; total growth)으로 나누어 처리하였다. 묘령 및 급액기간에 따른 생육을 비교한 결과 1년생 묘는 급액기간에 관계없이 질소농도 150mg·L-1 이상 처리구에서 우수하였다. 2년생묘는 TG기간 동안 급액한 처리구가 ED기간을 제외하고 급액한 처리구들보다 대체적으로의 생육이 훨씬 우수하였으며, 특히 TG-150mg·L-1의 생육이 가장 좋았다. 개화 후 엽의 무기성분 함량을 측정한 결과 묘령에 관계없이 전체적으로 양액내 질소농도가 증가할수록 T-N의 함량은 높아지고 K, Ca, Mg, P의 함량은 약간 낮아지거나 차이가 거의 없었다. 그러나, 1년생 ED-210 처리구는 모든 처리구 중 Ca와 Mg 함량은 가장 높은 반면 K와 P의 함량은 가장 낮았으며 개화수도 적었다. 즉, 질소농도가 210mg·L-1 이상으로 조성되면 오히려 생육이나 개화수가 감소되는 것으로 보아 1년생 산호수는 생장 및 개화를 위해 TG-150으로 처리하고, 2년생 묘는 TG-180이 수경재배시 적정한 급액시기 및 질소농도로 판단된다.

The objective of this study was investigate the superovulation treatment and to relate concentrations of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) in Hanwoo donors. Thirty six, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU=1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3th administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg PGF2α was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received 100 μg GnRH at the time of 1st insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 or 8 days after the 1st insemination. Cows with BUN ＜10, 11～18 and ≥19 mg/dl had return of estrus of 34.6, 30.5 and 30.4 days respectively. Return of estrus after superovulation treatment was not significantly lower for cows with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) above 10 mg/dl than for cows with BUN below 10 mg/dl. Cows with BUN ＜10, 11～18 and ≥19 mg/dl had number of transferable embryos of 3.2±1.2, 5.4±1.9 and 4.1±2.1 respectively.

Exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) can produce adverse health effects. Various indoor and outdoor combustion sources make NO₂ the most ubiquitous pollutant in the indoor environment. Indoor air quality can be affected by indoor sources, ventilation, decay and outdoor levels. Although technologies exist to measure these factors, direct measurements are often difficult. In the present paper, we used a mass balance model and regression analysis, penetration factor (ventilation rate divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) and source strength factor (source strength divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) were calculated using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements with 10 houses. Subsequently, mean contributions of indoor and outdoor sources were 28.86% and 81.09%, respectively, suggesting that both indoor and outdoor sources had contributions to indoor concentrations of NO₂.
