Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) is a mixture of quercetin glycodsides consisting of isoquercitrin and its ${\alpha}-glucosylated$ derivatives containing one to seven additional linear glucose moieties. The aim of this study was to assess whether or not EMIQ attenuates high-fat diet (HFD)-induced body weight gain and changes in plasma indices of obesity in mice. Male C57BL/6N mice were fed chow diet, HFD, and HFD containing 1.2% EMIQ for 10 weeks. EMIQ significantly (P<0.05) reduced body weight gain (-21%), total visceral fat-pad weights (-31%), and plasma levels of triglycerides (-17%), total cholesterol (-19%), and free fatty acids (-26%) in HFD-fed mice. EMIQ significantly increased protein kinase A (PKA) expression in the epididymal adipose tissue of HFD-fed mice. Expression of adipogenesis-related genes significantly decreased, whereas expression of fatty acid oxidation-related and thermogenesis-related genes increased in epididymal adipose tissue of EMIQ-fed mice compared with HFD-fed mice. These results suggest that the protective effects of EMIQ against HFD-induced adiposity in mice appear to be associated with PKA-mediated signaling cascades involved in adipogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and thermogenesis in adipose tissue.

This research conducted a component analysis and conservation treatment of "Sangryangmun," a material which had been written in 1965 and was discovered during the repair project for "Jinnamgwan" in Yeosu. The "Sangryangmun" has been stored in a cylindrical metal storage; however, defects, discolorations, hardening, and damages caused by pollutants were found. Based on the XRF analysis, rust in the cylindrical metal storage, which was made of Cu, was stuck on the surface of the "Sangryangmun". Using FT-IR and Pyrolysis-GC/MS analyses, carbonyl and compounds of fatty acids were detected; the organic material on the surface of the "Sangryangmun" was identified to have belonged to oil-based components. Therefore, it was presumed that the bast fibers of a mulberry was used in the paper. To determine the conservation materials, component analysis, condition survey, and preliminary test on adhesives were conducted. Moreover, the missing parts and partial linings were filled using mulberry-fiber paper, methyl cellulose, etc.

The $HCO^+$ 1-0 transition line was observed toward the Sgr B2 region in our Galactic center. We found that there exist two large-scale velocity structures of $v_{lsr}\;{\sim}50\;and\;{\sim}100kms^{-1}$, which are thought to interact with each other. A new gas clump 'OF28 Cloud'('Odenwald & Fazio FIR 38' Cloud), showing different chemical and kinematical properties with the Sgr B2(M) cloud, was found in the $50kms^{-1}$ gas component. Toward the core of this component, we derive the $HCO^+$ total column density, $N(HCO^+)=(2-5){\times}10^{14}cm^{-2}$ and the mass $M=1{\times}10^6M_{\odot}$, by estimating its size, ${\sim}15pc$, from the half-power width of this component. We also found that there is a highly turbulent component in this region in the velocity range of about $100kms^{-1}$. The column density of this component is $N(HCO^+)=1{\times}10^{13}cm^{-2}$. The $HCO^+$ in this region may form effectively by the reaction between $C^+$ and OH, which are the elements whose abundances increase rapidly in shocked region.

In recent, the demand of development of the high dose rate brachytherapy source increased for substitute for Co-60 source by iridium source, since the supplying Co-60 source is very depressed and the high dose rate brachytherapy sources are entirely imported from the abroad. This study investigated the exposure rates and isotropic dose distributions for the Ir-192 source produced from $\^$191/Ir(n,r)$\^$192/Ir by nuclear reactor in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The activity of source was obtained an 1.012 Ci (the initial activity without encapsulation was 2,87Ci) by measurement with encapsuled stainless steel. The exposure rate of provided Ir-192 source was determined on 6.36 ${\pm}$ 0.147 Rm$^2$/h-GBq (2.350 ${\pm}$ 0.054 Rcm$^2$/mCi-hr) within ${\pm}$ 2.2% discrepancy with IC-10 ion chamber (0.14 cc) which was mounted on the acrylic jig to 5, 10 and 20 cm from the center of source. The calculated doses with 22 most significant spectrum lines were corrected with intrinsic efficiency of the germanium detector were compared to measured exposure dose rates within ${\pm}$3.8 % discrepancy. The authors confirmed the high dose rate Ir-192 source could be replaced the long decayed Co-60 source via investigation of the isotropic dose distributions in lateral, source axis and diagonal direction of source center are very closed to within 3% uncertainties. Especially, this exposure rate constant and isotropic dose distribution will be fundamental to build the high dose rate source and develop the computed therapy planning system.

Various problems such as durability degradation may happen when extra water is added to concrete. Because of these reasons, the change of water content is managed by using rapid evaluation method of unit water content such as electric capacity method, heat drying method making use of micro wave, unit capacity mass method among various methods. Especially, in Japan, guidance for the change of water content ($\pm$ 10, 15, 20 kg/$m^3$ etc.) were regulated and used. However, it is the real situation that the guidance which were regulated in South Korea evaluate suitability only considering production and measurement error under the circumstances which are not considering the degree of durability degradation. Therefore, this study tries to investigate the influence of addition of extra water in the concrete on the durability degradation of concrete when it was added by artificial manipulation or by management error. From the test results, a guideline of the contents of extra water for the quality control is suggested with the consideration of the degree of durability degradation and the probable error resulted from the addition of extra water. The contents of extra water for tests are set as 0, 15, 25, 35 kg/$m^3$. To examine the durability degradation of concrete, freezing and thawing, carbonation, chloride penetration and compressive strength are tested.

"Summer Deadweight Tonnage(SDWT)" is used as the criteria of the berthing capacity when establishing port entry limits under current guideline. The important factors affecting to the maximum ship size of possible berthing are mass, length and breath of the ship rather than deadweight. Therefore this guideline should be modified to ensure safety and efficient operation of berth. This study aimed to propose a rational guideline to adjust the berthing capacity. In order to decide proper berthing capacity, three berths of Port of Ulsan were selected and systematic evaluations for the safety of passage transit, berthing maneuvers, ship motions at berth and stabilities of structures were conducted. Small changes of ship size had little effect on those characteristics and little significant differences were found according to the increase of ship size at the same displacement. The evaluation results of the increasement of 50% of berthing capacity at 20,000 DWT, 25% at 40,000 DWT and 13% at 150,000 DWT were within the design criteria in which the berths were built. Therefore, if the channel width, diameter of turning circle, berth length and mooring arrangements are satisfied with the criteria, the current berth limitations should be adjusted by the displacement. as substitute for the deadweight.

In southeastern sea of Korea, ammonium excretion rates of mixed macrozooplankton population ranged from 0.90 to 2.32$\mu\textrm{g}$ atoms NH$\_$4/-Nm$\^$-3/h$\^$-1/ and zooplankton excretion contributed from 3 to 15% of total nitrogen requirement by phytoplankton. Wet weight specific ex cretion rate was averaged to be 3.45$\mu\textrm{g}$ atoms NH$\_$4/-Ng$\^$-1/wet weight h$\^$-1/. Zooplankton biomass in wet weight and protein tended to increase to ward outer outer shelf. GDH assay of macrozooplankton demonstrated a typical Michaelis-Mentenkinetics with 5.1mM of half saturation constant(Km). Protein specific GDH activity in the present study ranged from 1.5 to 3.2$\mu\textrm{g}$ atoms NH $\_$4/-N mg$\^$-1/protein h$\^$-1/. Higher protein specific GDH activity in the outer shelf implies that zooplankters in the outer shelf were more active in nitrogen metabolism grazing higher primary production in the outer shelf. In the present study, averaged GDH/excretion ratio was 18.8${\pm}$2.6(n=6)showing high correlation between zooplankton GDH activity and direct ammonium excretion rate by zooplankton. GDH assay can be extremely useful in the future study for the ammonium regeneration by different size zooplankton fraction in various marine environments.

오염물질의 이송${\cdot}$확산 과정을 해석하기 위하여 계산효율이 높은 3차원 퍼프모형을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 퍼프모형은 추적방법에 따라 전방추적모형과 후방추적모형으로 나눌 수 있으며, 이 두 가지 추적방법은 계산효율과 수치오차에 있어서 상이한 특성을 나타내었다. 전방추적 퍼프모형은 일정한 시간간격을 가지므로 정상상태의 연속오염원의 경우에 각각의 퍼프들이 동일한 질량을 갖는다. 그러므로 전방추적 퍼프 모형은 각 퍼프들간의 중첩정도가 일정하지 않다. 이에 관한 오차분석을 수행하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 무차원 퍼프중첩계수를 정의하였다. 퍼프중첩계수란 퍼프의 크기에 대하여 퍼프중심간의 거리가 떨어진 정도를 나타내는 무차원수로서 너무 작은 경우에는 정확도가 떨어지고 너무 큰 경우에는 계산효율이 감소한다. 전방 추적 퍼프모형의 경우, 중첩계수가 작은 초기구간에는 정확도가 떨어지며, 시간이 지남에 따라 중첩계수가 필요이상으로 증가하여 계산효율이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 비해 일정한 중첩정도를 갖는 후방추적 퍼프모형의 경우에는 전 영역에 걸쳐서 정확도와 계산효율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 일정한 시간간격 마다 농도장을 계산하고자 할 때, 전방추적법은 단 한번의 전체계산을 통하여 수행가능하지만 후방추적법의 경우에는 매 출력시간마다 초기시점까지 반복해서 계산해야하는 단점이 있다. 경계처리에 있어서 입자추적모형과 상이한 방법을 사용하는 퍼프모형은 폐경계에서는 입자추적모형과 동일한 결과를 나타내지만 개경계에서는 다른 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 오염원이 임의의 공간적 분포를 갖는 경우, 퍼프모형은 입자추적모형보다는 적은 수의 퍼프를 사용할 수 있지만 이에 따른 경계면에서의 수치오차를 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 퍼프모형을 검증하고 장${\cdot}$단점을 분석하기 위하여 흐름이 일정한 경우와 전단흐름의 경우에 대하여 이송${\cdot}$확산 수치모의를 수행하였으면, 이를 각각의 경우의 해석해 결과와 비교${\cdot}$분석하였다. 후방추적 퍼프모형은 전방추적 퍼프모형에 비하여 사용된 퍼프수와 관계없이 작은 오차를 발생하였으며, 전체적으로 퍼프 모형이 입자모형보다는 훨씬 적은 수의 계산을 통해서도 작은 오차를 나타낼 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 Gaussian 분포를 갖는 퍼프모형은 전단흐름에서의 긴 유선형 농도분포를 모의할 수 없었고, 이에 관한 오차는 전단계수가 증가함에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하였다. 향후, 보다 다양한 흐름영역에서 장${\cdot}$단점 분석 및 오차해석을 수행한 후에 각각의 Lagrangian 모형의 장점만을 갖는 모형결합 방법을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

오염원의 이송확산에 관한 많은 연구들이 수행되어 왔으나 특히 비포화 영역에서 오염원 이송확산을 측정하는 것은 매우 어려운 것으로 알려지고 있다. 비포화 토양에서의 오염원 이송확산은 매질의 함수량 변화에 영향을 받기 때문에 오염원 거동특성을 이해하려면 비포화 흐름 분석을 선행한 후 오염원의 이송확산 특성을 분석하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 비포화 영역에서의 오염원 이송특성을 분석하기 위하여 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여 비포화 흐름 및 오염원 이송을 측정하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 TDR을 이용하여 오염원 이송을 측정하는 방법을 개발하였으며, 이 방법을 이용하여 1차원의 토양기둥시료에서 비포화 흐름 및 오염원 이송확산에 관한 실험을 수행하고 수치모형을 적용함으로써 비포화 영역에서 오염원의 이송확산에 관한 거동특성을 규명하였다. 본 연구에서는 두 종류의 국내 토양시료(SUS, KUS)를 사용하였는데, 토양의 물리적 특성을 예비실험을 통하여 규명한 후 토양기둥시료를 이용한 본실험을 수행하였다. 비포화 천이흐름하의 오염원 이송확산 실험에서는 급격한 습윤전선의 전진에 따른 종형의 함수량변화를 관측할 수 있었고, 이때 오염원의 농도는 함수량의 천이구간의 중심점으로부터 전방영역의 농도분포가 습윤전선에서의 함수량 분포와 유사한 종형을 이루고 있음을 관측할 수 있었다. 비포화 정상흐름하의 오염원 이송확산 실험에서는 오염원이 이송하며 농도 천이구간이 확장되어지는 전형적인 형태를 보였다. 또한 예비실험에서 측정한 매개변수를 입력자료로하여 수행한 수치결과와 실험결과를 비교하였는데 비포화 흐름특성은 실험결과와 수치결과가 정량적으로 일치하는 경향을 보였으나, 오염원 이송확산 특성은 정량적으로 수치결과가 실험결과보다 더 많이 확산되는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 수치모형을 현장에 적용할 경우 확산지수 결정에 주의하여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 수치모형에 적용할 확산지수는 BTC 실험을 통하여 측정한 확산지수, 수치확산, 흡착계수, 적용영역의 크기 등을 고려하여 결정하여야 한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 TDR을 이용하여 최초로 천이상태의 함수량과 오염원 농도를 측정하였는데 이를 위하여 전기전도도와 함수량관계를 추정하는 식을 제안하였으며, 전기전도도와 토양수 농도, 전기전도도와 함수량의 관계를 이용한 천이상태의 오염원 농도 측정방법을 개발하였다. 특히 제안식에서는 한계함수량의 개념을 도입하여 전기전도도와 함수량관계를 추정하므로 추정식의 실험값 반영 정도를 증가시켰다. 본 연구에서 제안된 식을 이용하여 추정된 전기전도도와 함수량관계는 다른 제안식에 비하여 개선된 결과를 보여 주었고, 본 연구에서 개발한 오염원 농도 측정법을 이용하여 측정한 결과 함수량이 0.15이하에서는 측정오차가 크지만 함수량이 0.15이상일 경우 매우 좋은 결과를 보였는데 질량평형을 검토한 결과 약 5-10%의 오차율을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 개발된 천이상태의 오염원 농도측정법은 용존 오염물질의 이송에 관한 정확한 실험을 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, I examined the water quality and phytoplankton community in aquaculture laver farm in the southwest part of Aphae-do, South Korea, based on the young leaf stage, middle leaf stage, and adult leaf stage of laver thallus from October, 2013 to January, 2014. It was observed that the Aphae laver farm, as located in shallow waters, was found to have a serious resuspsension of the surface sediments due to physical disturbance caused by winds and tidal mixing. Such a resuspension of surface sediments coupled with nutrients supply obstructs light penetration into the sea for its huge amount of total suspended matters. As a result for this reason, it was viewed toimpedthe growth of phytoplankton was impeded as it also competes with laver to absorb the same kinds of nutrients as laver does during the laver growth period in winter. Such elements of the marine environment in Aphae laver farm are in contrast with the environment of Japan, where nutrients including dissolved inorganic nitrogen, in particular, are insufficient to cause the recent laver bad harvest, discoloration and quality degradation while large diatoms, with their higher nutrients absorption efficiency than laver, generate winter red tide. In other words, an important factor to maintain the high laver production in the southern parts of West Sea of Korea was found to be the marine environment of its laver farms where large diatoms are prevented from growing due to nutrients supply and dense seston weights from resuspended matters by physical disturbances.
