The Iro protein is a member of the HiPIP family with the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster for electron transfer. Many reports proposed that the conserved aromatic residues might be responsible for the stability of the iron-sulfur cluster in HiPIP. In this study, Tyr10 was found to be a critical residue for the stability of the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster, according to site-directed mutagenesis results. Tyr10, Phe26, and Phe48 were essential for the stability of the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster under acidic condition. Trp44 was not involved in the stability of the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster. Molecular structure modeling for the mutant Tyr10 proteins revealed that the aromatic group of Tyr10 may form a hydrophobic barrier to protect the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster from solvent.

IscR (iron-sulfur cluster regulator) has been reported to be a repressor of the iscRSUA operon, and in vitro transcription reactions have revealed that IscR has a repressive effect on the iscR promoter in the case of [$Fe_{2}S_{2}$] cluster loading. In the present study, the iscR gene from A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 was cloned and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, and then purified by one-step affinity chromatography to homogeneity. The molecular mass of the IscR was 18 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optical and EPR spectra results for the recombinant IscR confirmed that an iron-sulfur cluster was correctly inserted into the active site of the protein. However, no [$Fe_{2}S_{2}$] cluster was assembled in apoIscR with ferrous iron and sulfide in vitro. Therefore, the [$Fe_{2}S_{2}$] cluster assembly in IscR in vivo would appear to require scaffold proteins and follow the Isc "AUS" pathway.

$Cu^{n+}$ 교환된 Y형 제올라이트 상에서 진행되는 NO분해반응의 특성을 양자화학적 계산을 통해 해석하였다. 제올라이트내 양이온 자리를 나타내는 Cluster모델들에 대해 CNDO/2와 같은 이론적 계산을 수행하여 전체에너지, LUMO에너지 및 Wiberg결합차수값들을 얻었다. 각 모델들의 전체에너지와 결합차수값들을 통해 제올라이트 골격내 $Cu^{n+}$ 양이온 자리에서의 NO분해반응에 대한 반응기구를 고찰하였다. 제안된 분자모델들은 각기 다른 Si/Al비와 $Cu^+$ 및 $Cu^{2+}$ 교환된 양이온의 경우로 구분하여 고찰하였다. LUMO에너지의 계산을 통해 모델분자들의 L산성도를 해석하였다. NO분해반응의 메카니즘은 NO의 흡착, $N_2$ 및 $O_2$로의 분해, $N_2$ 및 $O_2$의 탈착의 단계가 연속적으로 진행될 가능성이 있었다. 양이온 자리에서 $Cu^{2+}$는 $Cu^+$ 보다 더 강한 L산성을 나타내었다.

Three meteor-statistical forecasting models - the transfer function model, the time-series autoregressive model and the neural networks model - were tested to develop a daily forecasting model for Jejudo, where the need and demand for wind power forecasting has increased. All the meteorological observation sites in Jejudo have been classified into 6 groups using a cluster analysis. Four pairs of observation sites among them, all having strong wind speed correlation within the same meteorological group, were chosen for a model test. In the development of the wind speed forecasting model for Jejudo, it was confirmed that not only the use a wind dataset at the objective site itself, but the introduction of another wind dataset at the nearest site having a strong wind speed correlation within the same group, would enhance the goodness to fit of the forecasting. A transfer function model and a neural network model were also confirmed to offer reliable predictions, with the similar goodness to fit level.

The steps for the generation of very thin GaN films on ultrathin AlN/6H-SiC surface by alternating a pulsative supply (APS) of trimethyl gallium and NH3 gases have been examined by ASED-MO calculations. We postulate that the gallium cul ster was formed with the evaporation of CH4 gases via the decomposition of trimethyl gallium (TMG), dimethyl gallium (DMG), and monomethyl galluim (MMG). During the injection of NH3 gas into the reactor, the atomic hydrogens were produced from the thermal decomposition of NH3 molecule. These hydrogen gases activated the Ga-C bond cleavage. An energetically stable GaN nucleation site was formed via nitrogen incorporation into the layer of gallium cluster. The nitrogen atoms produced from the thermal degradation of NH3 were expected to incorporate into the edge of the gallium cluster since the galliums bind weakly to each other (0.19 eV). The structure was stabilized by 2.08 eV, as an adsorbed N atom incorporated into a tetrahedral site of the Ga cluster. This suggests that the adhesion of the initial layer can be reinforced by the incorporation of nitrogen atom through the formation of large grain boundary GaN crystals at the early stage of GaN film growth.

본 연구는 부산신발산업의 집적과 쇠락요인을 산업클러스터의 경쟁력이라는 이론적 관점에서 접근한다. 이를 위해 M. Porter의 클러스터 모델을 재구성한 '산업클러스터의 구성요소와 연계 모형'을 제시하고 그것에 기초하여 부산신발산업의 집적화와 쇠락에 영향을 미친 요인들을 검토하였다. 그리고 신발산업의 부산지역 집적 및 쇠락과정과 현황을 고찰하고 부산지역 신발업체들을 대상으로 관련 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 부산신발산업의 집적 및 쇠락과정은 상당히 복잡한 요인들에 의해 영향을 받았지만, 노동집약적 경공업의 특성상 노동력 등 투입요소부문이 가장 결정적인 영향변수였던 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 1970년대 중반 이후 OEM 생산을 본격화하면서 글로벌 생산네트워크에 편입된 바, 그것에의 진입과 배제과정에서 산업클러스터의 성쇠가 보다 급격히 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

In order to statistically predict $O_3$ levels in Seoul, the study used the TMS (telemeted air monitoring system) data from the Department of Environment, which have monitored at 20 sites in 1989 and 1990. Each data in each site was characterized by 6 major criteria pollutants ($SO_2, TSP, CO, NO_2, THC, and O_3$) and 2 meteorological parameters, such as wind speed and wind direction. To select proper variables and to determine each pollutant's behavior, univariate statistical analyses were extensively studied in the beginning, and then various applied statistical techniques like cluster analysis, regression analysis, and expert system have been intensively examined. For the initial study of high level $O_3$ prediction, the raw data set in each site was separated into 2 group based on 60 ppb $O_3$ level. A hierarchical cluster analysis was applied to classify the group based on 60 ppb $O_3$ into small calsses. Each class in each site has its own pattern. Next, multiple regression for each class was repeatedly applied to determine an $O_3$ prediction submodel and to determine outliers in each class based on a certain level of standardized redisual. Thus, a prediction submodel for each homogeneous class could be obtained. The study was extended to model $O_3$ prediction for both on-time basis and 1-hr after basis. Finally, an expect system was used to build a unified classification rule based on examples of the homogenous classes for all of sites. Thus, a concept of high level $O_3$ prediction model was developed for one of $O_3$ alert systems.

IscA was proposed to be involved in the iron-sulfur cluster assembly encoded by the iscSUA operon, but the role of IscA in the iron-sulfur cluster assembly still remains controversial. In our previous study, the IscA from A. ferrooxidans was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified to be a [$Fe_4S_4$] -cluster-containing protein. Cys35, Cys99, and Cys101 were important residues in ligating with the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster. In this study, Asp97 was found to be another ligand for the iron-sulfur cluster binding according to site-directed mutagenesis results. Molecular modeling for the IscA also showed that Asp97 was a strong ligand with the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster, which was in good agreement with the experimental results. Thus, the [$Fe_4S_4$] cluster in IscA from A. ferrooxidans was ligated by three cysteine residues and one aspartic acid.

This research has a significant meaning to break from the urban ecology-oriented biotope research and realize the importance of rural landscape as a reserve area for systemizing the types of rural biotope. The results are as follows. First of all, items for classification of 16 rural biotope areas are designed and total 9 itmes in slope from spatial structural point of view and 7 items in minute-variety from functional point of view. Also, as the result of on-site research on case areas based on classified items, there are 46 types of rural biotope such as coniferous forest, hedgerow and so on. For example, it is proven that uncultivated stripe showed the most frequent emergence. As a result of cluster analysis of average linkage method between clusters, 12 clusters are classified as a clusters and 13 biotope types are re-corrected and complemented through brainstorming process and then total 12 clusters are selected as final rural biotope type groups. As a rural biotope type cluster and character analysis according to types based on on-site research and documentary survey, for example, it is analyzed that the ratio of transmissible covering ratio is 100%, the ratio of green coverage is 90% in 'woodland in cultivated area biotope type cluster'.

Faujasite 표면 수산기를 나타내는 cluster 모델의 전체에너지, 쌍극자모멘트, Wiberg결합차수 및 형식전하를 CNDO/2법을 이용하여 계산하였다. 이에 관한 양자화학적 고찰은 faujasite 표면 수산기의 산세기가 그 기하학적 구조와 Si/Al비에 의존되어 있음을 보여준다. B산성의 세기는 가교형 수산기가 독립형 수산기에 비해 컸었다. 모델분자들의 구조적 안정성은 Si/Al비가 클수록 증가하였다.
