Recent research is increasingly focused on utilizing seismic waves for structure health monitoring (SHM). Specifically, seismic interferometry, a technique applied in geophysical surveys using ambient noise, is widely applied in SHM. This method involves analyzing the response of buildings to propagating seismic waves. This enables the estimation of changes in structural stiffness and the evaluation of the location and presence of damage. Analysis of seismic interferometry applied to SHM, along with case studies, indicates its highly effective application for assessing structural stability and monitoring building conditions. Seismic interferometry is thus recognized as an efficient approach for evaluating building integrity and damage detection in SHM and monitoring applications.

In the present study, the thermodynamic evaluation of the sulfate-roasting process was conducted to extract vanadium from the Korean vanadium titano-magnetite ore. The leaching efficiency of vanadium and other impurities was analyzed for varying roasting temperatures and addition of Na₂SO₄. In the case of sulfate roasting, the roasting temperature was 200 ℃ higher than that previously observed Na₂CO₃ roasting. However, the higher leaching efficiency of vanadium and lower leaching efficiency of other impurities, such as aluminum and silicon, were observed. The high selectivity for the extraction of vanadium in sulfate roasting would result from the reaction mechanism between SO₂ gas and vanadium concentrate.

소금기가 있는 토양에서 잘 자라는 염생식물은 우리나라 서해안에 널리 분포하여 자생하고 있다. 하지만, 특수 환경에서 자라는 특성 때문에 생리활성에 대한 연구가 많이 되어 있지 않다. 특히, 염생식물의 장내세균에 대한 영향 연구는 거의 없어 새로운 활용에 대한 기대가 커지고 있다. 관련 생리활성평가를 위한 기초데이터를 얻기 위해 2020년6월 충남 태안, 전북 부안, 전남 무안에서 총16종의 염생식물을 채취하여 RAW264.7세포에 대한 세포독성을 검토하였다. 시료를 30% 에탄올로 추출하여, 농축, 동결건조를 통해 분말로 만든 후, 0.1-100 ug/mL의 농도로 RAW264.7세포에 처리하였다. 24시간 후, MTT법으로 세포독성을 측정한 결과, 총16종 중 갯질경, 좀보리사초, 갯개미자리 추출물에서 세포독성이 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통해 세포 수준에서 안전성이 확보된 시료를 활용하여 장내세균에 대한 영향 등을 검토할 계획이다.

Drilled sediment core was acquired from Jinheung catchment which was located at Jeollabuk-do Jeongeup city. Elements concentration variation were studied by neutron activation analysis using sediment core by divided 1 cm depth interval. The concentration of major element such as Na, K were increased but Fe was decrease with depth. Minimum elements concentration and particle size were observed at 17 cm depth. This depth was considered 1969 year which was great dry year recorded from the rain fall data and the sedimentation rate was calculated $0.197g{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}year^{-1}$.

This studied the immune-enhancing activity properties of water extracts from the leaves, branches, and fruit of 13 species (Rhamnaceae) collected during the bearing season (Berchemia berchemiifolia, B. floribunda, Hovenia dulcis, Paliurus ramosissimus, Rhamnella franguloides, Rhamnus crenata, R. davurica, R. koraiensis, R. parvifolia, R. ussuriensis, R. yoshinoi, Sageretia thea, and Ziziphus jujube). Immune-enhancing activity were studied using the nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells. Extracts of B. berchemiifolia, H. dulcis, R. franguloides, R. crenata, R. davurica, R. ussuriensis and S. thea showed strong immune-enhancing activity through NO production. In addition, the expression of immune enhancement-related cytokine genes (NOS, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) were confirmed through PCR-electrophoresis. The results of this study suggest that Rhamnaceae extracts can be used as natural antioxidants and immune enhancer.

1) 서울 지역 도로가 퇴적물에서는 특히 Cu와 Zn의 오염이 도심 지역을 중심으로 심각하게 진행되고 있으며. Pb는 무연 휘발유의 사용량 증가와 더불어 감소 추세이나 여전히 높은 함량을 나타내고 있다. 2) Pb와 Cr의 함량은 공간적 지배가 강하여 Pb는 주로 교통 혼잡 지역, Cr은 공구상 밀집 지역에서 높게 나타난다. 반면, Cu, Cd, Zn 함량은 시간적 및 공간적 변화를 모두 보여주어 금속 산업 밀집도 및 강우량 변화에 따라 변화된다. 3) 특히 오염이 심화되고 있는 지역의 도로가 퇴적물이 하수계로 직접 유입되지 못하도록 차단하는 적절한 시설이 필요하며, 아울러 오염된 퇴적물을 집적하여 처분할 때는 주변 토양의 오염에 유의해야 할 것이다.

Rhodosporidium toruloides has been known as an in vitro model of fat metabolism. The purpose of this study is to identify the triglyceride inhibitory effects of hot water extracts from beetroot using R. toruloides. The triglyceride content of oleaginous yeast cultured from YPD culture medium were regulated by treatment of beet root hot water and ethanol extract, respectively. In addition, the number of cells in the oleaginous yeast was 10.48, 8.46, 12.40, 12.80 and $8.24{\times}10^3cell/mL$. The treatment of hot water extract of beet root increased total lipid content of oleaginous yeast in dose dependently. Moreover, the triglyceride content of oleaginous yeast was decreased by hot water extract of beet root extract, respectively. The fat droplet in the oleaginous yeast decreased according to the concentration of hot water extracts from beetroot. The ratio of increase in the number of cells in the oleaginous yeast were increased dose-dependently by treatment of hot water extract from beetroot compared with control group. The free fatty acid and total carotenoid contents were increased concentration-dependently by treatment of hot water extracts from beetroot. These study results indicate that hot water extracts from beetroot has a triglyceride inhibitory effects.

Purification of silica mineral has been investigated by acid leaching of pulverized silica. A series of studies has been carried out on the effect of leaching silica powder as a function of the leaching time at the constant temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ in oxalic acid, aqua regia, and two mixed acids of HF/HCl, $HF/HNO_3$. The impurities of silica and leachantes were measured by neutron activation analysis (NAA), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), atomic absorption spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence (XRF) method and wet analysis (WA). Certain metals, such as sodium, calcium, iron, aluminium and titanium, have been found in concentrations of hundreds or even thousands of mg/kg. Comparison of purification processes of silica and analytical methods of impurities in the silica was conducted in this study.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality properties of sausages added with the atmospheric pressure plasma treated extract of Perilla frutescens Britton var. acuta Kudo (red perilla). The lyophilized powder of red perilla extract treated by atmospheric-pressure plasma contained 7.5 g kg^-1 nitrite. Sausage samples were manufactured with the addition of sodium nitrite (Control), celery powder (Celery), or plasma-treated extract of red perilla (PTP) to obtain nitrite concentration of 70 mg kg^-1. The residual nitrite content was the lowest in PTP during storage for 21 days at 4℃ (p<0.05). The total aerobic bacteria counts were higher in PTP than in Control and Celery during storage at 4℃ (p<0.05). Malondialdehyde content of sausages was significantly lower in PTP than in Control and Celery during storage (p<0.05). PTP showed the lowest L^* value and the highest b^* value among the tested sausage samples during storage (p<0.05). PTP received the low scores in all the sensory properties of sausages because of its inherent color and flavor. The results suggested that the plasma-treated extract of red perilla was an unsuitable natural nitrite source for cured meat products because of its adverse effect on sensory quality. However, natural nitrite source with increased nitrite content can be produced by the treatment of the natural plant extract with atmospheric-pressure plasma.
