In malonate grown Pseudomonas fluorescens, malonate decarboxylase and acetyl-CoA synthetase were induced, whereas in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus malonate decarboxylase, acetate kinase, and phosphate acetyltransferase were induced. In both bacteria malonate decarboxylase was the first, key enzyme catalyzing the decarboxylation of malonate to acetate, and it was localized in the periplasmic space. Acetate thus formed was metabolized to acetyl-CoA directly by acetyl-CoA synthetase in Pseudomonas, and to acetyl-CoA via acetyl phosphate by acetate kinase and phosphate acetyltransferase in Acinetobacter.

The Korean nuclear industry developed the SPACE (Safety and Performance Analysis Code for nuclear power plants) code and this code adpots two-phase flows, two-fluid, three-field models which are comprised of gas, continuous liquid and droplet fields and has a capability to simulate three-dimensional model. According to the revised law by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) in Korea, the multiple failure accidents that must be considered for accident management plan of nuclear power plant was determined based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident. Generally, to improve the reliability of the calculation results of a safety analysis code, verification work for separate and integral effect experiments is required. In this reason, the goal of this work is to verify calculation capability of SPACE code for multiple failure accident. For this purpose, it was selected the experiment which was conducted to simulate a Multiple Steam Generator Tube Rupture(MSGTR) accident with Passive Auxiliary Feedwater System(PAFS) operation by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and focused that the comparison between the experiment results and code calculation results to verify the performance of the SPACE code. The MSGR accident has a unique feature of the penetration of the barrier between the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and the secondary system resulting from multiple failure of steam generator U-tubes. The PAFS is one of the advanced safety features with passive cooling system to replace a conventional active auxiliary feedwater system. This system is passively capable of condensing steam generated in steam generator and feeding the condensed water to the steam generator by gravity. As the results of overall system transient response using SPACE code showed similar trends with the experimental results such as the system pressure, mass flow rate, and collapsed water level in component. In conclusion, it could be concluded that the SPACE code has sufficient capability to simulate a MSGTR accident.

We have estimated the fractal dimension of the molecular clouds associated with the Hii region Sh 156 in the Outer Galaxy. We selected the $^{12}CO$ cube data from the FCRAO CO Survey of the Outer Galaxy. Using a developed code within IRAF, we identified slice-clouds (2-dimensional clouds in velocity-channel maps) with two threshold temperatures to estimate the fractal dimension. With the threshold temperatures of 1.8 K, and 3 K, we identified 317 slice-clouds and 217 slice-clouds, respectively. There seems to be a turn-over location in fractional dimension slope around NP (area; number of pixel) = 40. The fractal dimensions was estimated to be D = $1.5\;{\sim}\;1.53$ for $NP\;{\geq}\;40$, where $P\;{\propto}\;A^{D/2}$ (P is perimeter and A is area), which is slightly larger than other results. The sampling rate (spatial resolution) of observed data must be an important parameter when estimating fractal dimension. Fractal dimension is apparently invariant when varying the threshold temperatures applied to slice-clouds identification.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental value of green space in Seoul. Longitudinal relationships between land use patterns and $SO_2/NO_2$ have been analysed. Then the environmental and economic value of green space were examined. In this study, the following results have been found : Firstly, it was found that the amount of $SO_2$ showed the negative relations with green space but had the positive relationships with the built-up area. Which in turn can be interpreted as securing the green space could improve the $SO_2$ purification capacity. Secondly, Seoul Metropolitan green belt zones absorbed 69,728 tones of $CO_2$, 654 tones of $SO_2$ and produced 51,205 tones of O2 at the year of 1997 standpoint. This results implicate that the Seoul Metropolitan green belt zones resolve 0.2% of $CO_2$ and 2.9% of $SO_2$ production in total. Finally, the occurrence of an additional costs of 6,800 Korean Won per household was expected due to the air conditioning cost increases as the green belt areas decrease. Therefore, it is recommended to establish the alternative plans for the protection and creation of the green space in the urban areas, since those urban green space have the significant meaning as their provision of habitats for the wildlife as well as their contribution to the reduction of energy consumption.

국립청소년우주센터 덕흥천문대의 NYSC 1m 망원경은 청소년을 대상으로 관측제안서를 공개모집하고, 청소년의 전문적인 천문관측을 지원하고 있다. 2017년 한 해, 접수된 청소년의 관측제안은 총 10건이었다. 이외에도 덕흥천문대는 양질의 관측자료를 국내 연구팀과의 공동연구를 통해 제공하고 있으며, 공동연구 장기관측과제 3건을 운영 중에 있다. 덕흥천문대 관측팀은 청소년 관측 및 공동연구를 지원하는 것과 더불어 망원경의 상태를 상시 점검하고 있다. 스티커 및 $CO_2$ 분사를 이용한 경면 세척을 진행하였고, 2017년 하반기에는 1m 망원경의 성능을 최대로 발휘할 수 있도록 CCD 카메라를 Princeton Instruments의 SOPHIA 2048B로 교체하였다. 그리고 앞으로 덕흥천문대에서 진행할 향후 운영 계획에 대해서도 논하고자 한다.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), in collaboration with the NASA Goddard Sparce Flight Center (GSFC), will develop a next generation coronagraph for the International Space Station (ISS). COronal Diagnostic EXperiment (CODEX) uses multiple filters to obtain simultaneous measurements of electron density, temperature, and velocity within a single instrument. CODEX's regular, systematic, comprehensive dataset will test theories of solar wind acceleration and source, as well as serve to validate and enable improvement of space-weather/operational models in the crucial source region of the solar wind. CODEX subsystems include the coronagraph, pointing system, command and data handling (C&DH) electronics, and power distribution unit. CODEX is integrated onto a standard interface which provides power and communication. All full resolution images are telemeters to the ground, where data from multiple images and sequences are co-added, spatially binned, and ratioed as needed for analysis.

Human body communication (HBC) is being recognized as a new communication technology for mobile and wearable devices in a body area network (BAN). This paper presents co-channel interference experienced by HBC supporting the physical layer in the IEEE 802.15.6 BAN standard. To analyze the co-channel interference, a co-channel interference model is introduced, and space-domain and time-domain parameters representing an interference environment are generated using the co-channel interference model. A new signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) parameter depending on the peak amplitudes of the data signals causing co-channel interference is defined; co-channel interference can be easily analyzed and modelled using the newly defined SIR. The BER degradation model derived using the co-channel interference model and SIR in this paper can be effectively used to estimate the performance.

Adequate conditions of water content and aeration of container media are major environmental factors in the production of pot plant. This experiment was carried out to find optimum physical property of media for the production of small potted Ardisia in capillary mat irrigation system. The plant materials used in this experiment were Ardisia pusilla and Ardisia japonica. Seven substrates were formulated by blending perlite or fresh rice hulls at 20%, 40%, 60% (v/v) with sphagnum peat. Total pore space (TPS) increased by blending sphagnum peat with fresh rice hulls, but decreased by blending sphagnum peat with perlite. As fresh rice hull (FRH) and perlite content increased, air filled pore space (AFP) of substrate increased but container capacity (CC) decreased. Substrate blended with fresh rice hull was higher AFP than blended with perlite and the rate of increase was higher for FRH-containing substrate. As AFP increased, the $CO_2$ concentration in the pot decreased and the $CO_2$ concentration of substrate blended with FRH was higher than blended with perlite. The fresh and dry weight of Ardisia pusilla and A. japonica was the highest in the substrate contained 60% FRH, but the ratio of shoot dry weight to root dry weight was the lowest. The optimum total pore space, air-filled pore space, water holding capacity of substrate for the growth of Ardisia pusilla and A. japonica in the capillary mat irrigation system were 82.8%, 25.6%, and 57.2% respectively.
