생물은 자기 복제를 통한 생장이나 생명유지를 위해 에너지를 필요로 한다. 화학영양생물은 화학에너지를 발효 혹은 호흡을 통해 생물학적 에너지로 전환시키며, 광영양생물은 광합성 작용을 통해 광에너지를 이용한다. 발효, 호흡, 광합성은 모두 산화-환원 반응을 통해 이루어진다. 생물의 모든 에너지 전환반응은 산화-환원 반응, 즉 전자의 흐름으로 이루어지며 생명현상이 에너지를 필요로 하기 때문에 생명현상은 전자의 흐름으로 이루어진다고 할 수 있다. 모든 생물이 에너지 전환 반응에 산화-환원 반응을 이용한다는 말은 생물이 많은 종류의 산화-환원 효소를 보유하고 있다는 뜻이며, 실제 많은 종류의 산화-환원 효소가 발견되고 연구되었다.

The phenomenology of communication represents a starting point in the union of consciousness and experience, analogue and digit, expression and perception, person and lived-world, rhetoric and ethic, constitute human communication. A phenomenological definition of communication requires that analysis proceed through a phenomenological description, reduction, interpretation. This analysis thus far has taken up the general issue of fact versus value, consisting in a subdivision into intention and punctuation on the factual side, and convention and legitimation on the value side. It has treated of the relationships among intention and metaphysics, punctuation and epistemology, convention and logic, and legitimation and axiology.

Phenomenological approach suggests a new dimension in landscape evaluation, which is a contrast to the existing scientific evaluation methods. The characteristics of the phenomenological approach is qualitative, holistic, open, and experiential, whereas that of the scientific approach is quantitative, reductive, closed, and experimental. In phenomenological approach, the average response of a group is not considered as meaningful in landscape evaluation. Instead, the individual response, experience, and feeling are considered as important. In phenomenological approach, people try to see the real world as it is, while scientists tend to simplify the real world in order to handle the complex Phenomena easily. Due to its holistic and qualitative nature, the phenomenological approach has limitations to be a practical landscape evaluation technique. However, recent research demonstrate the possibility of practical phenomenological landscape evaluation technique which is able to satisfy the criteria scientific methods should meet.

One of central issues in the Literature and Science discourses during the Victorian era is the relation of physiology to psychology. Many thinkers tackle the question of whether or not psychic phenomena can be reducible to their physiological bases. For instance, Victorian physiologist William Benjamin Carpenter claims that there should be a boundary between physiological and psychological qualities. Yet, his contemporary writer Grant Allen contends for the reduction of psychology into physiology. In the essay, I discuss Grant Allen's work Physiological Aesthetics (1877) so as to eventually problematize his physiological reductionism. I especially highlight the paradox of his physiological aesthetics. In order to clarify my argument, I introduce two concepts: evolutionary aesthetics and physiological reductionism. On the one hand, Allen argues for the development of aesthetic appreciation. The gradual evolution from gaudy to serene colors, for instance, reflects the fine differentiation of sensory organs. He believes that the existence of varied aesthetic pleasures corresponds to the evolution of sensory nerve structures. Nonetheless, Allen ironically gives more weight to the commonality of aesthetic experiences than to this teleological ordering of aesthetic experiences. He argues that there is no fundamental difference among humans in terms of their aesthetic assessments. Furthermore, there is even no essential distinction among plants, animals, and humans in light of their aesthetic appraisals, he states firmly. Although he asserts the gradual advance of aesthetic feelings caused by the intricacy of nervous systems, he simultaneously trivializes the evolution of aesthetic appraisal. In the essay, I highlight this paradox in Allen's physiological aesthetics. It should be underscored, lamentably enough, that Allen seeks biological purity by erasing fine lines among physiology, psychology, and sociality. He estranges aesthetic experiences from subjective variations and their socio-cultural contexts. He makes great efforts to eliminate individual differences and socio-cultural specificities in order to extremely biologize aesthetic experiences. Hence, Allen's physiological aesthetics is marked as the politics of physiological purification.

In this study, the nitrate removal efficiency was examined under a variety of operating conditions, such as different doses of the reducing agent, different electrode types, different HRTs(hydraulic retention times), and different current densities, using the multistep electrochemical process. The nitrate removal efficiency increased and the input energy decreased when the reducing agent was used, and almost no difference was found between the electrode types in terms of their nitrate removal efficiency and current efficiency. So that the Zn reducing agent could be recovered, though, the B-type electrode was chosen(step 1: Pt-Zn; step 2: Pt-Zn; step 3: Pt-Zn; step 4: Pt-Zn). HRT experiments were carried out on constant electric current density unrelated HRTs and various electric current density related HRTs: the constant amount of electric current per unit volume. As a result, HRT and the electric current density caused concentration polarization and the lack of an applied current. That is to say,the lower the HRT, the greater the decrease in concentration polarization and in the amount of applied current per unit volume. Therefore, optimal conditions were found through the experiments that were conducted on HRT and electric current density. When a spacer was installed in the process, the nitrate removal efficiency and energy efficiency increased even more because the diffusion likewise increased.

Microbiological sulfate reduction is the transformation of sulfate to sulfide catalyzed by the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria using sulfate as an electron acceptor. Low solubility of metal sulfides leads to precipitation of the sulfides in solution. The effects of microbiological sulfate reduction on in-situ precipitation of arsenic and copper were investigated for the heavy metal-contaminated soil around the Songcheon Au-Ag mine site. Total concentrations of As, Cu, and Pb were 1,311 mg/kg, 146 mg/kg, and 294 mg/kg, respectively, after aqua regia digestion. In batch-type experiments, indigenous sulfate-reducing bacteria rapidly decreased sulfate concentration and redox potential and led to substantial removal of dissolved As and Cu from solution. Optimal concentrations of carbon source and sulfate for effective microbial sulfate reduction were 0.2~0.5% (w/v) and 100~200 mg/L, respectively. More than 98% of injected As and Cu were removed in the effluents from both microbial and chemical columns designed for metal sulfides to be precipitated. However, after the injection of oxygen-rich solution, the microbial column showed the enhanced long-term stability of in-situ precipitated metals when compared with the chemical column which showed immediate increase in dissolved As and Cu due to oxidative dissolution of the sulfides. Black precipitates formed in the microbial column during the experiments and were identified as iron sulfide and copper sulfide. Arsenic was observed to be adsorbed on surface of iron sulfide precipitate.

전압을 인가하였을 때 전계방향에 의해 가역적으로 색이 변화하는 현상을 전기변색(electrochromism)이라고 한다. 이러한 전기채색현상을 보이는 물질을 전기채색물질(electrochromism materials)이라고 하며, 전기채색 물질에 의한 소자를 전기채색소자(electrochromism device : ECD)라고 한다. 전기채색현상은 투과율(transmittance), 반사율(reflectance)의 가역적이며 가시적인 변화이고, 전기화학적인 산화환원 반응과 관련이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Titanate nanotube(TNT)를 제조하고 전기변색소자(ECD)에 응용하였다. SEM, XRD, UV-Vis등을 이용하여 재료학적 분석을 시행하였으며, 전기화학적 테스트로 cyclic voltammetry를 측정 하였다. 그 결과 TNT 분말은 직경 약 20~30 nm, 길이 약 500~600 nm 의 입자형상을 나타내었으며, X-선 회절시험결과 $H_2Ti_2O_5{\cdot}H_2O$의 층상구조를 나타내었다. 제조된 막은 FTO glass 위에 PEI/(TNT/TBAOH)$_{n-1}$/PDDA의 순으로 코팅되었다. 전기화학적 테스트를 위하여 2전극 시스템을 제작하였으며, 여러 종류의 액체 전해질을 제작하여 cycle voltammetry를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 각각의 전해질에서 "-"영역의 산화환원전위 피크가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 짙은 갈색으로의 채색현상을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 결과로서 TNT 박막을 이용한 ECD은 광조절 유리로서 뿐만 아니라, 여러 전기채색 디바이스에 응용될 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, Laminaria japonica was used as a substrate for a mixed aerobic microbial consortium. Laminaria japonica is well-known as a representative brown algal biomass possessing advantages of cheap cost, and high productivity and carbohydrate content. A biological saccharification system was established by inoculating and enriching the mixed aerobic microbial consortium. Production of the soluble carbohydrate and reducing sugar at different hydraulic retention times (HRT) was observed. The efficiency of saccharification increased according to the decrease of HRT. The maximum saccharification yield in a continuous biological pretreatment process was 17.96 and 4.30 g/L/day for the soluble carbohydrate and reducing sugar, respectively at the HRT of 1 day. In contrast, the staccharification yield decreased drastically at the HRT of 0.5 day. Experimental results indicate that Laminaria japonica is a promising material for the production of useful products, in particular for the saccharification through a biorefinery process. It can thus be concluded that a continuous biological pretreatment process using a mixed cultivation system can be successfully employed for the biorefinery technology.
