$NF-{\kappa}B$ (nuclear factor-kappa B) plays a particularly central role in epidermal biology. It has been established that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is one of the mechanisms to induce the activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ in human skin. We previously demonstrated that melanogenic inhibitors may act through the inhibition of $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation in keratinocytes. In order to find another type of melanogenic inhibitors of $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation, various kinds of the extracts from crude drugs $(30\;{\mu}g/ml)$ were preincubated with transfectant HaCaT cells for 3 hrs and then UVR $(60\;mj/cm^2)$ was irradiated. UVR-exposed cells were incubated for another 6 hrs to measure the $NF-{\kappa}B$ activity. $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation was measured with the secreatory alkaline phosphates (SEAP) reporter gene assay using a fluorescence detection method. Among natural products, Lycium chinense, Acanthopanax senticosus, Angelica koreana, Kalopanax pictus and Asparagus cochinchinensis were the most potent inhibitors of $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation by UVR. These observations suggest that some crude drugs might act partially through the modulation of the synthesis of melanotrophic factors to decrease melanogenesis in keratinocytes.

Nitrogen-doped carbons have attracted much attention due to their novel application in relation to gas storage. In this study, nitrogen-doped porous carbons were synthesized using SBA-15 as a template, polypyrrole as the carbon and nitrogen precursor, and KOH as an activating agent. The effect of the activation temperature ($600-850^{\circ}C$) on the $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of the obtained porous carbons was studied. Characterization of the resulting carbons showed that they were micro-/meso-porous carbon materials with a well-developed pore structure that varied with the activation temperature. The highest surface area of $1488m^2g^{-1}$ was achieved at an activation temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ (AC-800). The nitrogen content of the activated carbon decreased from 4.74 to 1.39 wt% with an increase in the activation temperature from 600 to $850^{\circ}C$. This shows that nitrogen is oxidized and more easily removed than carbon during the activation process, which indicates that C-N bonds are more easily ruptured at higher temperatures. Furthermore, $CO_2$ adsorption isotherms showed that AC-800 exhibited the best $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of $110mg\;g^{-1}$ at 298 K and 1 bar.

우리나라가 속해 있는 동북아지역은 동남아시아와 더불어 세계 물류의 중심지 및 생산공장의 역할을 수행하고 있다. 특히 동북아시아를 선도하고 있는 한국, 중국, 일본의 경우 동아시아의 물류 거점역활 선점과 글로벌기업 유치를 위하여 다양한 Free Zone제도를 제정 도입하여 활성화에 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 동 제도의 시행초기 단계에 있는 우리나라의 경우, 주변국을 벤치마킹하여 성공요인을 찾는 것이 시행착오를 줄이고 경쟁의 우위를 확보하는 지름길이 될 것이다. 한편, 주변국의 Free Zone들은 다양한 전략을 가지고 경쟁을 하고 있으나, 우리나라의 경우 자유무역지대 활성화 전략에 포함되는 구성요소간의 종속관계, 계층파악 등의 시스템 적인 차원에서의 접근은 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 점에 착안하여, 군산 자유무역지대(Free Trade Zone) 성공요인을 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 하여 군산자유무역지대 활성화를 위한 구조모델을 FSM법을 사용하여 구축하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다.

Activated carbons (ACs) were prepared by activation of coal tar pitch (CTP) in the range of $700^{\circ}C-1000^{\circ}C$ for 1-4 h using potassium hydroxide (KOH) powder as the activation agent. The optimal activation conditions were determined to be a CTP/KOH ratio of 1:4, activation temperature of $900^{\circ}C$, and activation time of 3 h. The obtained ACs showed increased pore size distribution in the range of 1 to 2 nm and the highest specific capacitance of 122 F/g in a two-electrode system with an organic electrolyte, as measured by a charge-discharge method in the voltage range of 0-2.7 V. In order to improve the performance of the electric double-layer capacitor electrode, various mixtures of CTP and petroleum pitch (PP) were activated at the optimal activation conditions previously determined for CTP. Although the specific capacitance of AC electrodes prepared from CTP only and the mixtures of CTP and PP was not significantly different at a current density of 1 A/g, the AC electrodes from CTP and PP mixtures showed outstanding specific capacitance at higher current rates. In particular, CTP-PP61 (6:1 mixture) had the highest specific capacitance of 132 F/g, and the specific capacitance remained above 90% at a high current density of 3 A/g. It was found that the high specific capacitance could be attributed to the increased micro-pore volume of ACs with pore sizes from 1 to 2 nm, and the high power density could be attributed to the increased meso-pore volume.

이성분혼합용매내에서 Methyl-, Phenyl Chloroformate와 1-adamantyl 유도체들의 가용매분해반응속도를 여러 온도와 압력하에서 전도도방법에 의하여 측정하였다. 이들 속도상수로부터 활성화 부피(${\Delta}V_o^{\neq}$), 활성화 엔탈피(${Delta}H^{\neq}$), 활성화 엔크로피 (${\Delta}S^{\neq}$) 값을 구하였다. 이때 모든 혼합물내에서 ${\Delta}V_o^{\neq}$와 ${\Delta}V_s^{\neq}$는 음의 값을 나타내었으며, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$는 양의 값을 얻었다. 이 현상을 용매구조변화에 대하여 논의하였다. 또한 활성화 부피와 활성화 엔트로피 값들을 플로트하여 본 반응에 대한 반응 경향성을 조사하였다. 이들 결과로부터 Methyl-, Phenyl Chloroformate와 1-adamantyl fluoroformate(알코올수용액)는 이분자반응이, 1-adamantyl fluoromate(TFE수용액)와 1-adamantyl tosylate는 일분자반응이 일어나는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate lower extremity muscle activation to the variable weight shift on the affected side of patients with hemiplegia. Methods: Eighteen patients with chronic hemiplegia volunteered to participate in this study. All participants performed three types of weight shift (sideways, forward, and backward) in limits of stability on the affected side. Muscle activation in a paralyzed leg was measured with electromyography on the gluteus medius, tensor fasciae latae, rectus femoris, and biceps femoris; furthermore, the attached area was recommended by SENIAM projects. Each weight shift was performed three times, and then the mean value of the three measurements was analyzed. The data were analyzed by measuring the symmetrically standing position with the reference voluntary contraction (RVC) and was standardized with the percentage of RVC method. Results: No significant difference in lower extremity muscle activation occurred according to the three types of variable weight shift. However, significant differences in lower extremity muscle activation did occur with each weight shift position. In addition, activation increased at the rectus femoris and decreased at the gluteus medius and tensor fasciae latae. Conclusion: Hip abductor muscle strength training and variable weight shifts on the affected side must increase to improve patients'balance and limits of stability.

한국원자력의학원에서는 50 MeV 사이클로트론의 빔 라인을 이용하여 연구자들에게 다양한 빔 조사 서비스를 수행하고 있다. 특히 중성자 빔 서비스는 양성자와 베릴륨의 핵반응을 이용하기 때문에 높은 전류를 사용하므로 조사 시료의 방사화 가능성이 높아진다. 본 연구에서는 연구자들이 선호하는 35 MeV 20 ㎂ 중성자 빔 서비스에 의해 발생 가능한 방사화에 대해 MCNP 6.2와 FISPACT-II 4.0을 이용해 평가했다. 평가결과 철, 구리, 텅스텐 시료는 1시간 이상 조사하는 경우 장반감기 핵종이 생성되는 방사화가 발생하여 자체처분농도를 초과했다. 매일 2시간 사용 조건에서 건축물에 대한 방사화는 발생하지 않았고 조사실 내부 공기의 방사화로 인한 종사자의 내부피폭은 매우 미비했고, 이 공기를 배기하는 경우 배출기준도 만족했다.

In this work, we prepared activated multi-walled carbon nanotubes/polyacrylonitrile (A-MWCNTs/C) composites by film casting and activation method. Electrochemical properties of the composites were investigated in terms of serving as MWCNTs-based electrode materials for electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs). As a result, the A-MWCNTs/C composites had much higher BET specific surface area, and pore volume, and lower volume ratio of micropores than those of pristine MWCNTs/PAN ones. Furthermore, some functional groups were added on the surface of the A-MWCNTs/C composites. The specific capacitance of the A-MWCNTs/C composites was more than 4.5 times that of the pristine ones at 0.1 V discharging voltage owing to the changes of the structure and surface characteristics of the MWCNTs by activation process.

The present article investigates the influence of hydrogen concentration on the creep performance of cold-worked stress-relieved unirradiated Zircaloy-4 cladding tube using nanoindentation technique. The as-received Zircaloy-4 tube is hydrided to the concentrations of 600 ppm and 900 ppm using gaseous hydrogen charging method. Constant load indentation creep tests are performed for a dwell period of 600 s in the temperature range of 300℃-500 ℃ at 1000 μN, 2000 μN, and 3000 μN. The impact of hydrogen is evaluated in terms of steady state power law creep exponent and activation energy. The power law creep exponent decreases with increase in hydrogen concentration, however, it remains fairly constant with increase in temperature up to 500 ℃. Moreover, activation energy too decreases significantly with increase in hydrogen concentration. The mean stress exponent and activation energy are found to be 3.58 and 28.67 kJ/mol, respectively, for as-received sample.
