이번 시작된 불황은 일시적인 고통을 없애는 수매비축이나 수입육 방출 중단도 중요하지만 양돈업계의 근본 문제를 해결하는 기회가 되어야 한다. 지금까지 논의를 꺼려왔던 문제들을 적극적으로 토의하고, 왜 생산비가 높은 지에 대한 구체적이고 과학적인 검토와 절감될 수 있는 부분과 절감해야 할 부분을 솔직히 표현하는 것이 필요하다. 90Kg 돼지 1마리를 생산하는데 목표를 12만원으로 정하면 이를 위해서 인건비, 사료비는 얼마가 되어야 하고, 생산성은 어느 수준에 맞추어야 되는 지를 계산해 볼 필요가 있다. 그리고 이를 현실로 실천에 옮기기 위한 계획과 노력이 필요하다.

Piperine is an alkaloid-amine found in pepper and has been reported to have anticarcinogenic properties. To explore the possibility that piperine has cancer chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects in colon cancer, we examined whether piperine inhibits the growth of HT-29 human colon cancer cells and investigated the mechanisms for this effect. Cells were cultured with various concentrations ($0{\sim}40{\mu}M$) of piperine. Piperine decreased the cell viability and induced apoptosis of HT-29 cells. Western blot analysis of total cell lysates revealed that piperine decreases the protein levels of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and intact Bid but increases Bik levels. Piperine increased the percentage of cells with depolarized mitochondrial membrane, and the release of cytochrome c into cytoplasm. Piperine induced the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and caspases 8, 9, 7, and 3 and increased the Fas levels. In addition, piperine significantly decreased the protein levels of survivin. The present results indicate that piperine inhibits the growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells by the induction of apoptosis, which may be mediated by its ability to change the Bcl-2 family proteins, increase the activation of caspases, and decrease survivin levels. Overall, our findings suggest that piperine has cancer chemotherapeutic effects in colon cancer.

벨기에, 독일 및 프랑스를 비롯한 유럽의 여러 나라와 일본은 플루토늄을 혼합핵연료로 만들어 경수로에 부분적으로 장전하여 재순환시키는 방법에 대한 연구를 오래전부터 계속하여 현재는 이를 상용화하는 단계까지 왔다. 이전의 혼합핵연료의 경수로에의 이용이 핵연료 자원을 효과적으로 이용하는 측면이 중시되었으나, 최근에는 잉여 플루토늄 처리 및 혼합핵연료의 사용을 일부 원자로에 국한하는 목적으로 혼합핵연료를 노심 전체에 장전하여 사용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 혼합핵연료를 가압경수로 노심 전체에 장전하는 개념에 대하여 플루토늄의 소모 및 노심의 핵특성 관점에서 검토하였다. 그 결과 기존의 가압경수로에 혼합핵연료로 전노심을 구성하여 연소시킬 경우 fissile 플루토늄 원소의 초기 장전량이 방출시에는 약 60% 수준으로, 플루토늄의 총량은 약 70% 수준으로 감소하고 있다. 기존의 경수로에 혼합핵연료를 전체적으로 장전하면 900 ㎿급 원자로 1기당 년간 약 1톤가량의 플루토늄이 소요되며, 이를 실현하기 위해서는 제어봉 계통의 추가 설치 및 붕산계통의 고붕산화 등의 설비의 변경과 핵특성 변화에 따른 안전성 분석 등이 필요할 것이다.

지난25년간 유전자변형 생물체(LMO)는 가장 성공적인 농업 기술의 하나로 자리잡았다. 그러나 동시에 LMO가 격렬한 찬반 논란의 중심에 있었고 이로 인한 엄격한 규제의 대상이 되어 왔다. 카르타헤나 바이오안전성의정서와 LMO 위해성 심사 및 승인 등은 이러한 엄격한 규제를 대표하는 국제 혹은 국가 수준의 정책사례라고 할 수 있다. 특히 유럽연합은 역내의 반-LMO 정서를 반영하여 스페인 등 일부 국가를 제외하고는 거의 모라토리움 수준의 LMO 규제를 실시하고 있다. 유럽식품안전청(EFSA)는 유럽연합의 이러한 정책 결정에 따라 역내의 LMO 재배 및 사용에 대해 엄격한 심사업무를 담당하고 있는 기관이다. 최근EFSA는 그 동안의 심사 경험을 바탕으로 LMO의 심사 경험과 LMO환경 방출에 대한 모니터링 결과를 공유하기 위한 자료를 발간했다. 이들 자료는 EU에 비견될 수 있을 정도로 LMO에 대해 부정적인 정책적 입장을 취하고 있는 우리에게 다양한 시사점을 제공할 것으로 판단된다. 본 발표에서는 최근의 LMO 정책 환경 변화를 돌아보고, EFSA 보고서의 시사점을 살펴봄으로써 우리의 LMO 규제 정책이 합리적으로 개선될 수 있는 방향을 제시하고자 했다.

Interfacial and microfailure properties of the modified steel, carbon and glass fibers/cement composites were investigated using electro-pullout test under tensile and compressive tests with acoustic emission (AE). The hand-sanded steel composite exhibited higher interfacial shear strength (IFSS) than the untreated and even neoalkoxy zirconate (Zr) treated steel fiber composites. This might be due to the enhanced mechanical interlocking, compared to possible hydrogen or covalent bonds. During curing process, the contact resistivity decreased rapidly at the initial stage and then showed a level-off. Comparing to the untreated case, the contact resistivity of either Zr-treated or hand-sanded steel fiber composites increased to the infinity at latter stage. The number of AE signals of hand-sanded steel fiber composite was much more than those of the untreated and Zr-treated cases due to many interlayer failure signals. AE waveforms for pullout and frictional signals of the hand-sanded composite are larger than those of the untreated case. For dual matrix composite (DMC), AE energy and waveform under compressive loading were much higher and larger than those under tensile loading, due to brittle but well-enduring ceramic nature against compressive stress. Vertical multicrack exhibits fur glass fiber composite under tensile test, whereas buckling failure appeared under compressive loading. Electro-micromechanical technique with AE can be used as an efficient nondestructive (NDT) method to evaluate the interfacial and microfailure mechanisms for conductive fibers/brittle and nontransparent cement composites.

Indoor air differs from outdoor atmosphere since it contains chemical and physical contaminants from building materials. This study deals with the biological effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from synthetic fiber carpet materials. One group of Tradescantia inflorescence was exposed to VOCs from the carpet sample in the environmental test chamber, while the other inflorescence group was exposed to a TO-14 standard gas mixture (1 ppm) for comparison. After the exposure, VOCs from the carpet were analysed by the desorber/GC/MS method, and micronuclei in the pollen mother cells of Tradescantia were scored under a microscope $({\times}400)$ to evaluate the genotocixicity induced by the exposure to VOCs. The chemical analysis confirmed that a total of 12 VOCs were released from the carpet materials, among which stylene $(71.9{\mu}g\;m^{-3})$ and toluene $(49.6{\mu}g\;m^{-3})$ were in the highest concentration. Twenty four hours of exposure to VOCs from the carpet in the environmental test chamber resulted in a micronucleus frequency as high as $7.73{\pm}0.75MCN$ per 100 tetrads, which was similar to that induced after exposure to the TO-14 standard gas mixture (1 ppm) for 4 hours. Meanwhile, two hours of exposure to the standard gas mixture did not cause a significant increase in the genotoxicity compared to the spontaneous micronucleus frequency. This result indicates that exposure for a long time to the air contaminated with VOCs from the carpet materials causes a genotoxic effect. The biological-chemical combination analyses in the study proved to be an effective tool for monitoring the indoor air contaminants.

This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of a small chamber sampling and analytical method for the measurement of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and formaldehyde (HCHO) emission from building materials. While VOC was determined by the adsorbent tube sampling and sequential thermal desorption coupled with GC/MSD analysis, formaldehyde sampled with DNPH-silica cartridge was analyzed by HPLC. Wide-range performance criteria such as repeatability, desorption efficiency, emission chamber recovery test, duplicate precision, breakthrough volume and method detection limits were investigated for the evaluation of small chamber method. The overall precision of the small chamber sampling and analytical methods was estimated within 20~30% for target compounds. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the small chamber sampling and analytical method can be reliably applied for the measurement of building materials pollutants.

The purpose of this study was to investigated the ELF-MF emission level of various environments such as 258 facilities near located to high voltage transmission lines and 120 high voltage transmission lines, 17 underground cable lines. In addition, ELF-MF reduction rate according to separation distance was calculated by using simulations. An appropriate separation distance showing below 4mG was at least 70m. In the case of the appropriate separation distance for 120 high voltage transmission lines, 154kV required 20m of separation distance and 345kV required 60m of separation distance. The simulation results showed that the appropriate separation distance showing below 4mG was 40m and 60m for overhead 154kV and 345kV respectively. To adjust the worst conditions considering the aspects of environmental impact assessment study and the electric power currents that will increase in the future, the appropriate minimum separation distance for HVTL is judged to be above 70m in this study. Thus, there is a need to establish the greenbelt or buffer zone within 70m so as to create an environment in which the receptors are not exposed and thereby eliminate the risk factors of ELF-MF against humans.

Friction welding is a very useful joining process to weld metals which have axially symmetric cross section. In this paper, the feasibility of industry application was determined by analyzing the mechanical properties of weld region for a specimen of tube-to-tube shape for excavator hose nipple with friction welding, and optimized welding variables were suggested. In order to accomplish this object, friction heating pressure and friction heating time were selected as the major process variables and the experiment was performed in three levels of each parameter. An acoustic emission(AE) technique was applied to evaluate the optimal friction welding conditions nondestructively. AE parameters of accumulative count and event were analyzed in terms of generating trend of AE signals across the full range of friction weld. The typical waveform and frequency spectrum of AE signals which is generated by friction weld were discussed. From this study the optimal welding variables could be suggested as rotating speed of 1300 rpm, friction heating pressure of 15 MPa, and friction heating time of 10 sec. AE event was a useful parameter to estimate the tensile strength of tube-to tube specimen with friction weld.

The grain size of aluminum alloy was refined to the submicrometer level by using equal-channel angular pressing(ECAP). The effect of grain size refinement was evaluated by the tensile test, micro-hardness test, microstructure observations, ultrasonic test and acoustic emission test. The strength and the Vickers hardness were increased significantly according to grain size refinement after equal-channel angular pressed. The ultrasonic velocity was faster after equal-channel angular pressed, and the high frequency range appeared. The results of the ultrasonic velocity and the frequency range are expected to be basic data that can prove the grain size refinement
