Ultraviolet irradiation in the cells and skin produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induces the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) causing skin photoaging. Using the human dermal fibroblast (HDF), we investigated the antioxidative and anti-aging effects of the extracts from Talinum paniculatum. Talinum paniculatum leaf and stem extracts (LSE) showed free radical scavenging effect by 98.45% at 500 ${\mu}g/mL$ and superoxide radical scavenging effect by 97.01% at 500 ${\mu}g/mL$ in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. The photoprotective potential of LSE was tested in HDF exposed to ultraviolet irradiation. It was revealed that LSE had an inhibitory effect on MMP-1 expression in UVA-irradiated HDF without any significant cytotoxicity. The treatment of UVA-irradiated HDF with LSE resulted in dose-dependent decreases in the expression levels of MMP-1 mRNA and protein. Also, UVB-induced cytotoxicity and cell death were effectively suppressed by treatment of LSE. Additionally, the senescence-associated ${\beta}$- galactosidase (SA-${\beta}$-gal) activity was decreased in the presence of LSE. These results suggest that Talinum paniculatum leaf and stem extracts (LSE) may have anti-aging effects and can be used as new functional materials against oxidative stress-mediated skin damages.

The stereochemistry of 1,3-thiazolidine sulfoxides 1 in which 3 chiral centres are present in a molecule was elucidated by deuterium exchange and trapping reactions. 3-Acetoxy-1,3-thiazolidines 5 was oxidized to 6 and 8, corresponding $\alpha$-cis 10, $\alpha$-trans 11, $\beta$ -cis 12, and $\beta$ -trans 13 isomers were separated from their diasteromeric mixtures. Sulfoxide 10 was isomerized to more thermodynamically stable isomer 13 under neutral conditions in refluxing benzene or toluene. The methyl hydrogens of 2-methyl group in the sulfoxide 13 and those of the sulfoxide 11 were deuterated by the deuterium incorporation reactions. The intermediate sulfenic acids 25 and 26 derived from the sulfoxides 10 and 12 via sigmatropic rearrangement were trapped by 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) to give disufides 27 and 28 respectively. However, the sulfoxides 11 and 13 were transformed to ring expansion product dihydro-1,4-thiazine 29 under the same reaction conditions. In the presence of acid catalyst, the sulfoxides 10, 11, and 12 were converted to dihydro-1,4-thiazine 29 through the sulfoxide 13 quantitatively. The mechanisms of isomerization of sulfoxides and the formation of 29 were also discussed.

The crystal and defect structures of U $O_{x}$(x=2.0, 2.03, 2.14, 2.19, 2.20 and 2.26) were analysed by rietveld refinement and the results were compared to the U-O phase diagram. Neutron diffraction data were collected in the temperature range of RT~100$0^{\circ}C$. The specimens of x=2.14, 2.19, and 2.20 consisted of two phase: $UO_{2+x}$(Fm3m, a≒5.4$\AA$) and $U_4$$O_{9}$(I43d, a≒21.8$\AA$). The proportion of the $UO_{2+x}$(Fm3m) phase increased with increasing the temperature. The variation of the proportion of the two phases with temperature in the U $O_{2.2}$ and U $O_{2.18}$ samples showed some deviation from the expected values from the phase diagram especially at the high temperature range. The phase transitions ${\gamma}$longrightarrow$\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ of $U_4$$O_{9}$ were discussed in relation with the phase separation.eparation.ion.

Heap bioleaching for detoxification of mine tailings is a promising technology; however, long-term studies that aim to understand the potential of this process are scarce. Therefore, this study assesses the feasibility of column bioleaching as an alternative technology for treatment of mine tailings with high concentrations of arsenic during a long-term experiment (436 days). To accomplish this objective, we designed a 350-mm plastic column that was packed with 750 g of mine tailings and inoculated with an acidophilic bacterial culture composed of A. thiooxidans and A. ferrooxidans. Redox potential, pH, ferric ion generation, and arsenic concentration of the off-solution were continuously monitored to determine the efficiency of the technology. After 436 days, we obtained up to 70% arsenic removal. However, several drops in removal rates were observed during the process; this was attributed to the harmful effect of arsenic on the bacteria consortium. We expect that this article will serve as a technical note for further studies on heap bioleaching of mine tailings.

Considerable interest has been generated in age-related non-enzymatic glycosylation and crosslinking of collagen in view of its extracellular nature, and its long biological half-life. The effects of UVA, which penetrates deep in dermis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) on age- related changes of dermal collagen were studied. The amount of nonenzymatic glycosylation, fragmentation, and crosslinking of collagen were monitored from the mixtures of Type I collagen from calf skin and glucose, irradiated by UVA, with or without scavengers of ROS. At both high and low glucose dosages, non-enzymatic glycosylation was not affected by UVA irradiation. At high glucose dosage, however, glycosylation was reduced by the scavengers of superoxide radical and singlet oxygen, bolt not by hydroxyl radical scavengers. Fragmentation was increased by UVA and decreased by all ROS scavengers. Crosslinking was also enhanced by UVA, and effectively blocked crosslinking. Superoxide radical and singlet oxygen, which were produced by autoxidation of glucose independently to UVA, may encounter the initial phase of glycation. ROS generated from Amadory compounds by UVA enhanced fragmentation and crosslinking Hydroxyl radical was thought to be a major ROS affecting crosslinking. These results suggest that UVA and ROS are able to enhance age-related structural changes of collagen, as affecting many other tissue and cellular components.

Microstructure and chemical analysis of sintered bricks containing recycled wastes were investigated by SEM and EDS. The recycled wastes for which substitute ceramic raw materials were EAF (electric arc furnace) dust, fly ash and stone ash. Yellowish and brownish regions on the surface and brownish and blackish regions in the inside of bricks were observed. Main component of yellowish region on the surface turned out to be Zn. No chemical difference between the black-core region and brownish matrix. Mullite crystallites of 1 fm size were distributed in the inside of bricks and enclosed by glass phases. It seems that alumine-silicate mixtures of kaolin and fly ash were transformed to mullite crystallites during the sintering. Relatively large pores ot several ten fm size were observed in the black-core region in the inside of bricks. The main components of the inside of brick were Al and Si. The minor components were C, Na, Mg, K, Ca, and Fe. Particularly, the precipitates of Fe-rich crystallites were observed in the amorphous matrix. These precipitates were formed due to the local reduction atmosphere in the inside of bricks. Zn-rich covers were found on the surface of bricks because Zn diffused from the inside of bricks to the surface under the reduction atmosphere.

The effects of phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl inositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidyl glycerol (PG), and cardiolipin (CL) on the flavor stability of purified soybean oil were studied. Purified soybean oil obtained from soybean oil by silicic acid chromatography does not contain measurable iron, tocopherols and phospholipids. Three hundred ppm of PC, PE, PI, PA, PG, or CL was added to the purified soybean oil, with and without 1ppm ferrous iron added. The flavor stability of sample, which was stored at $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 days in dark oven, was determined by a combination of volatile compounds formation and molecular oxygen disappearence in the headspace of air-tightly sealed serum bottle every 48 hrs. Results showed that, in general, phospholipids worked as prooxidant in the pufified soybean oil without ferrous iron added, and worked as antioxidant in the oil, when added 1ppm ferrous iron. The results also suggest that phospholipids work as prooxidant by increasing the solubility of oxygen on the surface of oil, and work as antioxidant in the oil containing 1 ppm ferrous iron by chelating iron. The results showed that PE and PA are better antioxidants than PC and PG. CL and PI showed the lest antioxidant activities in the oil will 1ppm ferrous iron added.

As the internal combustion engine vehicles of high fuel efficiency and low emission are demanded, it becomes important to procure technologies for improving low-temperature performance of automotive catalyst systems. In this study, we showed that the combustion rate of diesel particulate matter is greatly enhanced at low temperature by applying fuel-borne catalyst and perovskite catalyst concurrently. It was tried to examine the correlation between elemental composition of perovskite catalyst and combustion activity of mixed catalyst system. To achieve this goal, we applied temperature-programmed oxidation technique in testing the combustion behavior of perovskite-mixed particulate matter bed which contained the element of fuel-borne catalyst or not. We tried to explain the synergetic action of two catalyst components by comparing the trends of concentrations of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide in temperature-programmed oxidation results.

아연도금강판은 내식성이 우수하여 자동차용 강판으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 자동차용 강판은 spot 용접에 의해서 각 부분들이 접합되는데 도금층으로 사용되는 아연은 강판보다 융점이 낮아서 용접작업을 저하시킨다. 현재 사용되는 작업조건에서 용접 타 접수가 평균 2000회를 넘게되면 용접되는 부위의 면적이 감소되어 접합강도가 떨어지게된다. 따라서, 아연이 도금된 강판을 용접하게되면 작업성이 저하되므로 도금층의 성분에 대한 변화를 주므로서 이에 대한 개선을 할 필요가 있다.. Cole, Dickenson 및 Kimchi 등은 도금충내의 알루미늄을 0.1~0.5%(중량비) 함유하는 아연도금강판은 저항용접시 도금충내의 알루미늄 함량에 따라 용접성이 영향을 받는다고 보고하였다. 전극수명은 도금층내의 알루미늄 함량이 증가할수록 떨어지는데 알루미늄이 0.5% 이 하로 함유된 아연도금강판의 경우는 용접타접수가 2000~6000회에 이르르나 알루미늄 이 50%이상 함유된 합금도금강판은 200-600회에 불과한 것으로 나타난다. H. M Matsuda 등은 도금층의 알루미늄이 용접성에 영향을 미치는 이유로서 도금층의 용융 온도 변화를 지적하였다. 도금충내에 알루미늄의 함량이 높게되면 철과 아연의 확산에 의한 합금화 반응이 저하되어 도금층의 용융온도가 높아지지 못하므로 용접성이 나빠지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 아연도금욕의 조성은 기존의 상태로 유지하고 제3의 원소를 첨가하여 도금층에 함유되는 알루미늄의 양에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 도금층의 불성변화 및 그에 따른 내식성을 조사하였으며 도금층의 조직변화도 함께 관찰하였다. 아울러 첨가원소에 의한 도금욕의 특성도 평가하였다. 첨가원소에 의해서 도금충내의 알루미늄 함량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 도금층의 물성은 주어진 조성범위 내에서 별다른 변화를 나타내지 않았다.brittlement)기구도 제안되고 었다. 원전의 냉각수는 고 순도의 물이지만 수 처리 과정과 웅축기 배관의 누수로 인한 산소, $Cu^{2+},{\;}S_xO_6{\;}^{2-}(x=3~6)$ 등이 유입되어 오염되는데 이려한 오염물질들이 수 ppm정도 소량 포함된 경우 응 력부식민감도는 상당히 증가된다. 산성분위기 흑은 산소, $Cu^{2+}$, 등이 소량 포합된 산화성 분위기 그리고 sufur oxyanion 에 오염된 고온의 물에서 600 의 IGSCC 민감도는 예민화도가 증가할 수록 민감하여 304 의 IGSCC 와 매우 유사한 거동을 보인다. 본 강연에서는 304 와 600 의 고온 물에서 일어나는 IGSCC 민감도에 미치는 환경, 예민화처리, 합금원소의 영향을 고찰하고 이에 대한 최근의 연구 동향과 방식 방법을 다룬다.다.의 목적과 지식)보다 미학적 경험에 주는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 모든 사람들에게 비슷한 미학적 경험을 발생시키는 것 이 밝혀졌다. 다시 말하면 모든 사람들은 그들의 문화적인 국적과 사회적 인 직업의 차이, 목적의 차이, 또한 환경의 의미의 차이에 상관없이 아름다 운 경관(High-beauty landscape)을 주거지나 나들이 장소로서 선호했으며, 아름답다고 평가했다. 반면에, 사람들이 갖고 있는 문화의 차이, 직업의 차 이, 목적의 차이, 그리고 환경의 의미의 차이에 따라 경관의 미학적 평가가 달라진 것으로 나타났다.corner$적 의도에 의한 경관구성의 일면을 확인할수 있지만 엄밀히 생각하여 보면 이러한 예의 경우도 최락의 총체적인 외형은 마찬가지로 $\ulcorner$순응$\lrcorner$의 범위를 벗어나지 않는다. 그렇기 때문에도 $\ulcorner$

The removal of orthophosphate ions from aqueous solutions by the anion exchange resin in the form of $Cl^-$ ion was investigated to elucidate the ion exchange mechanism which depends on the forms of orhthophoshate ions. In addition, the effects of alkalinity and other common anions were studied. The results showed that the orhthophosphate ions with the oxidation state of 2 and 3 ($HPO{_4}^{2-}$ and $PO{_4}^{3-}$) were effectively removed by the anion exchange resin, whereas the part of the $H_2PO_4{^-}$ ion passed through the ion exchange column. This suggested that the affinity of $H_2PO_4{^-}$ to the ion exchange resin was comparable with that of $Cl^-$ ion. In all cases, the effluent pHs have shown to be much lower than the calculated values, indicating that more $Cl^-$ ions than the orthophosphate equivalents in the influent were eluded. As the alkalinity increases, the decrease in pH was minimized. When the alkalinity was 100 mg/L ($CaCO_3$) or greater, 100 mg/L orthophosphate ions including $H_2PO_4{^-}$ were completely removed. The common anions such as $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ were also removed by the anion exchange resin, and thus decreased the ion exchange capacity for the removal of orthophosphate.
