현재 ITO를 대체할 재료로 투명 전도성 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT) 필름에 대한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 이러한 연구에서 특히 CNT 필름의 투과도에 따른 전기저항을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일벽 CNT (single-walled CNT)를 여러 가지 계면활성제로 최적 분산시킨 수용액으로부터 제조한 CNT 필름의 투과도에 따른 면 저항 (sheet resistance) 변화를 관찰하였다. 우선 계면활성제로 분산시킨 CNT 수용액을 알루미나 재질의 필터에서 정량적으로 진공 필터링하여 CNT 필름을 제조하였다. 알루미나 필터를 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 수용액으로 용해시켜 제거함으로써 얻은 CNT 필름을 유리기판 위에 부착시켰다. 필름의 전기저항을 낮추기 위해 유리기판 위에 부착된 CNT 필름을 질산 (HNO3) 용액으로 처리하였다. Scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy를 이용하여 각각 필름의 형상과 광 투과도를 분석하였고, 4-point probe로 면 저항을 측정하였다. 계면활성제로 분산시킨 CNT 필름 대부분의 면 저항은 질산 처리에 의해 감소하였다. 이는 CNT 표면에 코팅되어 있던 계면활성제가 질산에 의해 제거되었기 때문인 것으로 예상된다. 여러 계면활성제 중 sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate로 분산시킨 CNT 필름이 산 처리 후에 가장 낮은 면 저항을 보였다. 그리고 Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)과 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)를 사용하여 제조한 CNT 필름의 면 저항이 가장 뚜렷한 감소를 보였다.

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the most destructive viruses in chilli pepper. An isolate of CMV was obtained from the chilli pepper cv. Chungyang showing top necrosis symptom in 2013 and designated as CMV-GTN. CMV-GTN was compared with the well-characterized isolate, CMV-Ca-P1, by investigating their amino acid sequences of the coat protein (CP) and biological reactions in several host plants. The CP of CMV-Ca-P1 composed of 217 amino acids but that of CMV-GTN composed of 218 amino acids by including additional valine in the $57^{th}$ amino acid position. Amino acid sequence similarity of the CP gene among CMV-GTN and other CMV isolates recorded in the GeneBank database ranged from 96% to 99%. CMV-GTN was selected as a representative isolate to screen the resistance pepper cultivars to CMV because it was highly pathogenic to tomatoes and peppers upon biological assays. The virulence of CMV-GTN was tested on 135 pepper cultivars which has been bred in Korea and compared with that of CMV-Ca-P1. Only the cv. Premium was resistant and three cvs. Hot star, Kaiser, and Good choice were moderately resistant to CMV-GTN, whereas two cvs. Baerotta and Kaiser were resistant to CMV-Ca-P1.

A new cementitious material has been developed, called alkali-activated fly ash cement(AAFC), which is used to produce AAFC-concrete for construction. The effect of acid attack, sodium chloride solution, carbonation, freeze-thaw cycling, and SEM, XRD analysis of the AAFC-concrete prepared using alkali-activated fly ash cement and OPC-concrete were experimentally investigated. It was found that the acid resistance of AAFC-concrete(35 MPa) prepared from alkali-activated fly ash at 85$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs is far better than OPC-concrete(35 MPa). Also, the AAFC-concrete(35 MPa) had a similar resistance of OPC-concrete(35 MPa) to attack, such as sodium chloride solution, carbonation and freeze-thaw cycling.

Forty species of lactic acid bacteria isolated from gajami sikhae were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus brevis, and Weissella paramesenteroides. 10 of the 40 strains were selected and used for the test. In this study, experiments such as those using acid and artificial gastric juice resistance, bile acid resistance, autoaggregation, coaggregation, and cell surface hydrophobicity were conducted to utilize lactic acid bacteria separated from gajami sikhae as probiotics. The separated lactic acid strains showed high survival rates through displaying resistance to acidic and artificial gastric juices; L. plantarum GS11 showed the best resistance. Also, as a result of a measurement of bile acid resistance, all lactic acid bacteria stocks showed survival of more than 100% with a probiotic number of 10⁸ to 10⁹ log CFU/ml. After evaluating cohesion to indirectly measure cell surface adhesion, autoaggregation ability was shown to be more than 46%. Measurement of xylene adhesion for cell surface hydrophobicity evaluation revealed better cell adhesion than B. subtilis, which has 32.2% hydrophobicity in isolated lactic acid strains. Antibacterial force measurement found antibacterial activity in lactic acid bacteria, excluding L. plantarum GS12 and L. plantarum GS13. Therefore, it was judged that lactic acid bacteria separated from gajami sikhae could be used as probiotics with various probiotic properties.

Genetically modified (GM) pepper H15 containing the gene for cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) coat protein (CP) and its control line non-GM pepper P2377 were investigated for their allergic risk. Amino acid sequence of the inserted gene product CMV-CP was compared with those of known allergens. No known allergen had greater than 35% amino acid sequence homology over an 80 amino acid window or more than 8 consecutive identical amino acids. Protein patterns of GM and non-GM pepper extracts were evaluated by SDS-PAGE, which showed similar distribution of protein bands for both GM and non-GM pepper. Antigen-antibody reactions were compared between GM and its non-transgenic parental control. ELISA and immunoblot analysis of sera from allergic patients showed some IgE reactivity; however, no differences were observed between GM pepper H15 and P2377. We therefore conclude that CMV-CP is less likely to be an allergen; the protein composition and allergenicity of the GM pepper H15 is not different from that of P2377 and safe as a commercial host.

The purpose of this experimental research is to investigate the influence of cement types on the resistance to acid and sulfate. For this purpose, concrete specimens with three types of cement such as ordinary portland cement(OPC), binary blended cement(BBC), and ternary blended cement(TBC) were made for water-binder(W/B) ratios of 32% and 43%, and then according to JSTM C 7401, the appearance change and ratio of mass change of them were estimated through the immersion tests by 5% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium sulfate, and 10% magnesium sulfate solution, respectively. It was observed from the test result that the resistance against acid and sulfate increased with decreasing W/B ratio and those of BBC and TBC concretes were better than the case of OPC concrete from immersion tests of 91 days.

A lactic starter organism, Lactobaciilus casei YIT 9018 was treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) to obtain phage-resistant mutants. Freshly grown cells suspended in citrate buffer were exposed to NTG of 50 g/$m\ell$ for 40 min. Among 88 colonies isolated eight colonies showed distinct resistance to phages isolated previously from milk plants. The eight new colonies showed character similar to the original L. casei except that they responded differently to phage of different sources and thus were designated as eight different mutants of L casei. From the phage resisting toaether with the fermentative ability equivalent to the mother organism the mutants may be considered to be used as starter cultures for fermented milk.

Three rice (Oryza sativa L. var Dong-Jin) mutants (DTR1, DTR2, DTR3) resistant to S-methyltryptophan (5MT) were selected by mutagenized M3 seeds. The frequency of chlorophyll mutations induced by the EMS (0.2%) treatment performed 2 hours after flowering is clearly higher than that induced by other treatments in M1 generation. Progeny obtained from the self-pollinating of 5MT-resistant lines segregated with 3 : 1 of resistant to sensitive ratio. Furthermore, the ratio of homozygote to heterozygote in 5MT-resistant plants of the M4 generation was 1：2. These results show that 5MT resistance was inherited as a single dominant nuclear gene. The resistance was also expressed in callus derived from seeds. Total free amino acid content in homozygous seeds of DTR1 and DTR2 showed about 1.7 fold-increased compared to the wild-type seeds. In particular, the levels of phenylalanine and Iysine were, respectively, 6.2 and 3.2 times higher than those in the wild-type seeds. However, seeds of DTR3 had lower levels of free amino acid than the wild-type seeds. This result indicate that these mutants as a significant step towards the production of new rice with balanced amino acid content.

Streptococcus mutans is one of the primary bacteria that cause dental caries which further result in plaque build up. Acid production resulted from carbohydrate metabolism can threaten survival of the bacteria. However some populations of S. mutans which are exposed to low acidic condition for a period of time would develop resistance and tolerance of cells to acidity that will enhance the chance of survival. Similar acid tolerances has been reported in case of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium, E. coli, Shigella flexneri. These acid tolerance responses(ATR) have been evolved in a similar manner as S. mutans. The protein produced in acidic condition has been proven to be important for ATR and confirmed by using chloramphenicol procedure. We hypothesize here that proteins synthesized in response to acid shock and other elements are important for ATR of cells. In this study we have confirmed that S. mutans developed acid tolerance and resistance against anaerobic condition. Mutational DNA analysis responsible for acid tolerance should be additionally required in the future. Since the development of acid tolerance that is essential for the survival of S. mutans and development of dental caries, ATR of S. mutans shoule be farther to prevent dental caries.
