Birnessite is one of the dominant Mn (oxyhydr)oxide phases commonly found in soil and deep ocean environments. It typically occurs as nano-sized and poorly crystalline aggregates in the natural environment. It is well known that birnessite participates in a wide variety of bio/geochemical reactions as a reactive mineral phase with structural defects, cation vacancies, and mixed valences of structural Mn. These various bio/geochemical reactions control not only the fate and transport of inorganic and organic substances in the environment, but also the formation of diverse Mn (oxyhydr)oxides through birnessite transformation. This review assessed and discussed about the phase transformation of birnessite under a wide range of environmental conditions and about the potential geochemical factors controlling the corresponding reactions in the literature. Birnessite transformation to other types of Mn (oxyhydr)oxides were affected by dissolved Mn(II), dissolved oxygen, solution pH, and co-existing cation (i.e., $Mg^{2+}$). However, there still have been many issues to be unraveled on the complex bio/geochemical processes involved in the phase transformation of birnessite. Future work on the detail mechanisms of birnessite transformation should be further investigated.

Objectives : The object of this study was to make a comparison regarding perceived stressor, perceived stress responses, and coping strategies between patients with gastric ulcer and patients with chronic gastritis. Subject and Methods : Subjects consisted of 40 patients with gastric ulcer and 100 patients with chronic superficial gastritis. Global assessment of recent stress(GARS) scale and perceived stress response inventory(PSRI) were used to measure perception for stressors and stress responses. Coping scale was used to measure coping strategies. Results : Scores of perceived stress related to work or job, changes in relationship on GARS scale were significantly higher in patients with gastric ulcer than those with chronic gastritis. Scores of perceived stress responses related to general somatic symptom, specific somatic symptom, passive-responsive and careless behavior on PSRI were significantly higher in patients with chronic gastritis than those with gastric ulcer. Scores of seeking social support, escape-avoidance on coping scale were significantly higher in patients with gastric ulcer than those with chronic gastritis. Conclusion : The above results suggest that perception for stressors were likely to be higher in patients with gastric ulcer than those with gastritis, whereas perception for stress responses were likely to be higher in the latter than the former. It is also suggested that patients with gastric ulcer were likely to use more dependent and passive coping strategies than patients with gastritis.

A review about the application of response surface methodology in the optimization of food technology is presented. The theoretical principles of response surface methodology and steps for its application are described. The response surface methodologies : three-level full factorial, central composite, Box-Behnken, and Doehlert designs are compared in terms of characteristics and efficiency. Furthermore, recent references of their uses in food technology are presented. A comparison between the response surface designs (three-level full factorial, central composite, Box-Behnken and Doehlert design) has demonstrated that the Box-Behnken and Doehlert designs are slightly more efficient than the central composite design but much more efficient than the three-level full factorial designs.

본 연구는 시뮬레이션 반응변수가 입력 인자의 선형 1차식으로 표현된 경우에 인자의 파라미터를 효과적으로 추정하기위해 사용될 수 있는 분산감소기법을 제안하였다. 이 기법은 하나의 실험설계에 공통난수와 대조난수를 동시에 사용하는 Schruben과 Margolin의 방법과 시뮬레이션하는 도중에 얻어지는 통제변수를 활용하는 기법을 결합하는 방법으로 시뮬레이션의 효율성을 개선하고자 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 기법은 주어진 모형의 평균 반응치를 추정한 데는 S-M 기법보다 효과적이었으며 인자의 다른 파라미터를 추정하는 데는 S-M 기법과 비슷한 성과를 보이고 있다. 만일 시뮬레이션 과정에서 반응변수와 상관성이 높은 통제변수들을 선택할 수 있는 경우에는 제안된 기법이 S-M 기법보다 보다 파라미터 추정에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

수용성 안료인 RhB를 대상으로 광-펜톤 공정의 최전 운전조건을 구하고, 광-펜톤 공정을 구성하는 개별 공정을 비교한 결과 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 광-펜톤 공정의 최적 $Fe^{2+}$와 $H_2O_2$ 투입량은 각각 0.0031 mmol과 0.625 mmol이었으며, 최적 pH는 3으로 나타났으나, 7이하의 pH 범위에서는 RhB 색 감소에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 초기 반응 속도에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 인자는 UV 광 전력 > $H_2O_2$> 철염의 순으로 나타났다. 80분간의 반응시간 경과 후 최종 RhB 농도를 고찰한 결과 UV 광 전력이 낮을 경우 색도가 다 제거되지 않기 때문에 광-펜톤 공정에서 UV 광 전력이 색 제거에 대한 가장 큰 인자라고 사료되었다. 광-펜톤 공정의 개별 공정인 UV, $H_2O_2$, 펜톤을 이용하여 RhB의 농도감소를 고찰한 결과 초기 반응속도상수는 펜톤 공정의 빠른 초기 반응로 인해 펜톤 > UV >$H_2O_2$로 나타났으나, 최종 RhB 농도를 고려할 경우 UV> 펜톤 > $H_2O_2$로 나타났다.

In a signal transduction network, from the perception of stress signals to stress-responsive gene ex- pression, binding of various transcription factors to cis-acting elements in stress-responsive promoters coordinate the adaptation of plants to abiotic stresses. Among the AP2/ERF transcription factor family genes, group VII ERF genes, such as RAP2.12, RAP2.2, RAP2.3, AtERF73/HRE1, and AtERF71/ HRE2, are known to be involved in the response to hypoxia stress in Arabidopsis. In this study, we dissected the HRE1 promoter to identify hypoxia-responsive region(s). The 1,000 bp upstream promoter region of HRE1 showed increased promoter activity in Arabidopsis protoplasts and transgenic plants under hypoxia conditions. Analysis of the promoter deletion series of HRE1, including 1,000 bp, 800 bp, 600 bp, 400 bp, 200 bp, 100 bp, and 50 bp upstream promoter regions, using firefly luciferase and GUS as reporter genes indicated that the -200 to -100 region of the HRE1 promoter is responsible for the transcriptional activation of HRE1 in response to hypoxia. In addition, we identified two putative hypoxia-responsive cis-acting elements, the ERF-binding site and DOF-binding site, in the -200 to -100 region of the HRE1 promoter, suggesting that the expression of HRE1 might be regulated via the ERF transcription factor(s) and/or DOF transcription factor(s). Collectively, our results suggest that HRE1 contains hypoxia-responsive cis-acting elements in the -200 to -100 region of its promoter.

Structural reaction injection molding을 이용한 복합재료의 제품 셩형을 위한 모델링 전략을 설명하였다. 사용된 모델은 두 평행한 원판형 mold에 있는 불 균일한 온도조건의 fiber preform을 통과하는 reactive srsin의 방사형 유동을 시뮬레이션 한다. 이러한 모델은 중요한 작동인자와 공정인자(주입온도, mold의 온도, 유량, cavity의 두께와 섬유의 조밀도)등이 유동속도, 변화(monomer, radical, inhibitor) 및 온도분포 등에 미치는 영향을 예견한다. 열전달과 질량전달 및 화학반응을 고려하여 모델을 개발하였다. 중요한 공정인자를 평가하기 위한 효울적인 공정창( process window)을 제공하는데 본 연구의 목적을 두었다. 2차원적인 Lagrangian 방식에 1차원적인 유동과 제한적인 2차원 열전달을 가정하여 모델을 유도하였고, 방정식은 implicit difference scheme에 의해 전개하였다. 이 모델은 Gonzalez-Romero의 실험 결과와 비교함에 의해 확인되었고, 실험결과가 잘 일치함을 보였다.

Recently, along with technology development of endoscopic equipment, a stent has been developed for the convenience of operation, shortening of recovery times, and reduction of patient's pain. To this end, optimal factors are simulated for the stent structure and mechanical reaction and verified using finite element analysis. In order to compare to present commercialized product such as Zilver (Cook, Bloomington, Indiana, USA) and S.M.A.R.T (Cordis, Bridgewater Towsnhip, New Jersey, USA), mechanical impact factors were determined through Taguchi factor analysis, and flexibility and expandability of all the products including ours were tested using finite element analysis. Also, important factors were sought that fulfill the optimal condition using central composition method of response surface analysis, and optimal design were carried out based on the important factors. From the centra composition method of Response surface analysis, it is found that importat factors for flexibility is stent thickness (T) and unit area (W) and those for expandability is stent thickness (T). In results, important factors for optimum condition are 0.17 mm for stent thickness (T) and $0.09\;mm^2$ for unit area (W). Determined and verified by finite element analysis in out research institute, a stent was manufactured and tested with the results of better flexibility and expandability in optimal condition compared to other products. Recently, As Finite element analysis stent mechanical property assessment for research much proceed. But time and reduce expenses research rarely stent of optimum coditions. In this research, Important factor as mechanical impact factor stent Taguchi factor analysis arrangement to find flexibility with expansibility as Finite element analysis. Also, Using to Center composition method of Response surface method appropriate optimized condition searching for important factor, these considering had design optimized. Production stent time and reduce expenses was able to do the more coincide with optimum conditions. These kind of things as application plan industry of stent development period of time and reduce expenses etc. be of help to many economic development.
