본 실험은 토마토의 순환식 시스템 양액재배에서 배액의 재순환 시 안정된 pH와 균형적인 양분 공급 방법을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 배액의 pH나 무기성분을 교정하지 않는 구(대조구), EC측정 및 양분 분석 교정구를 처리내용으로 두었다. 초기생육인 초장은 처리간에 차이가 없었으나 생체중 및 건물중은 양분분석구가 대조구에 비해 무거웠다. 후기생육에서는 양분분석구가 대조구에 비해 과중이 무겁고, 착과수가 많아 수량이 증가하였다 배액 EC는 대조구에 비해 EC측정구와 양분분석구가 전반적으로 낮았다. 배액의 pH는 전 생육기간에서 양분 분석구 및 EC측정구는 6.2∼6.5를 유지하였으나 대조구는 지속적으로 높아져 후기에는 7.2정도 되었다. 배액의 무기성분에서 N, P 및 K의 함량은 모든 처리구에서 셍육이 경과함에 따라 적어졌으며, 대조구에 비해 양분분석구가 적었다 Ca 및 Mg의 함량은 모든 처리구에서 생육초기에는 급격히 감소하였으며 생육후기에는 앙분 분석구와 EC측정구는 적은 상태로 유지되었으나 대조구는 급격히 증가하는 경향이었다. 이상의 결과에서 순환식 시스템을 이용한 토마토의 양액재배시 배액의 양분을 분석한 후 교정하는 것이 생육에 효과적이었다.

물 재이용 목적으로 설계한 pilot scale의 하수 처리공정에서 배출되는 방류수 중 내분비계 장애물질을 GC/MS로 분석하였고, 처리 공정별로 제거율을 비교하였다. 각 처리 공정별 방류수에서 nonylphenol이 주로 검출되었고, 평균 $0.36{\sim}0.94$ ${\mu}g/L$으로 높게 검출되었으나, E2와 EE2는 처리수에서 정량 이하로 검출되었다. 내분비계 장애물질은 처리 공정별로 $50{\sim}100%$의 제거율을 보여주었다. E-screen assay에 의해 얻어진 양-반응 곡선에서 E2의 EC50값은 $9.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M로 bisphenol A와 p-octylphenol의 EC50값인 $2.736{\times}10^{-5}$ M, $9.760{\times}10^{-6}$ M에 비해 매우 높았다. 이는 알킬페놀류가 E2에 대한 상대적인 에스트로겐 활성도가 매우 낮음을 보여주었다. 환경 호르몬 농도와 이 물질의 상대적인 에스트로겐 활성도에 근거하여 계산된 에스트로겐 활성도(ng-EEQ/L)는 E-screen assay에 의해 실측한 총 에스트로겐 활성도(ng-EEQ/L)에 비해 평균 2배의 높은 활성도를 보여 주었다. 각 처리 공정별 방류수의 에스트로겐 활성도는 1 ng-EEQ/L 이하의 매우 낮은 활성도를 보여주었다.

Most cold-adapted enzymes possess higher $K_m$ and $k_{cat}$ values than those of their mesophilic counterparts to maximize the reaction rate. This characteristic is often ascribed to a high structural flexibility and improved dynamics in the active site. However, this may be less convincing to cold-adapted metabolic enzymes, which work at substrate concentrations near $K_m$. In this respect, cold adaptation of a shikimate kinase (SK) in the shikimate pathway from psychrophilic Colwellia psychrerythraea (CpSK) was characterized by comparing it with a mesophilic Escherichia coli homolog (EcSK). The optimum temperatures for CpSK and EcSK activity were approximately $30^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The melting points were $33^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$ for CpSK and EcSK, respectively. The ${\Delta}G_{H_2O}$ (denaturation in the absence of denaturing agent) values were 3.94 and 5.74 kcal/mol for CpSK and EcSK, respectively. These results indicated that CpSK was a cold-adapted enzyme. However, contrary to typical kinetic data, CpSK had a lower $K_m$ for its substrate shikimate than most mesophilic SKs, and the $k_{cat}$ was not increased. This observation suggested that CpSK may have evolved to exhibit increased substrate affinity at low intracellular concentrations of shikimate in the cold environment. Sequence analysis and homology modeling also showed that some important salt bridges were lost in CpSK, and higher Arg residues around critical Arg 140 seemed to increase flexibility for catalysis. Taken together, these data demonstrate that CpSK exhibits characteristics of cold adaptation with unusual kinetic parameters, which may provide important insights into the cold adaptation of metabolic enzymes.

Background: Various strategies have been studied to reduce the propofol injection pain. This study was designed to find out effect-site target concentration (Ce) of remifentanil at which there was a 50% probability of preventing the propofol injection pain (EC50). Methods: Anesthesia was induced with a remifentanil TCI (Minto model). The Ce of remifentanil for the first patient started from 2.0 ng/ml. The Ce of remifentanil for each subsequent patient was determined by the response of the previous patient by Dixon up-and-down method with the interval of 0.5 ng/ml. After the remifentanil reached target concentrations, propofol was administered via a target-controlled infusion system based on a Marsh pharmacokinetic model using a TCI device (Orchestra$^{(R)}$; Fresenius-Vial, Brezins, France). The dose of propofol was effect site target-controlled infusion (TCI) of $3{\mu}g/ml$. Results: The EC50 of remifentanil to prevent the propofol injection pain was $1.80{\pm}0.35ng/ml$ by Dixon's up and down method. Conclusions: The EC50 of remifentanil to blunt the pain responses to propofol injection was $1.80{\pm}0.35ng/ml$ for propofol TCI anesthesia.

An experiment was conducted to detect aquaculture pond bottom soil nutrients, pH and electrical conductivity with a view to optimize production and to incorporate the scientific method of fish nursing, rearing and culturing at Noakhali district in Bangladesh. The soil samples were collected from the recently dug ponds (1 - 5 years) and older ponds (> 5 years). Samples were taken from five different spots in a Z shape from each pond and were mixed to get a composite sample. The composite samples from the ponds were collected in polyethylene bags and shipped to the laboratory for analysis. The soil samples were analyzed with respect to pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), organic matter (OM), nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K) and sulfur (S). The average value of pH, OC, OM, N, P, K and S were $7.43{\pm}0.40$, $2.21{\pm}1.43%$, $1.47{\pm}0.53%$, $2.52{\pm}0.94{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$, $0.126{\pm}0.047{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$, $3.84{\pm}1.77{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$, $0.191{\pm}0.106{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ and $306.72{\pm}222.05{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ respectively, in Noakhali. The average EC, OC, OM, N and P contents were found to be higher in Subornachar than those in Sonapur. On the other hand pH, K and S were found to be higher in Sonapur than the values of Subornachar. The pH, EC, OC, OM, N and S contents were found to be higher in new ponds than old ponds whereas P and K contents were found to be higher in old pond than in new pond.

The potential biological activities of water and ethanol extracts from two varieties of Rubus coreanus Miquel fruits produced in the Gochang-gun (GR) and Hoengseong-gun (HR) regions of Korea were examined. The hydroxyl radical ($\cdot$OH) scavenging activity, reducing power, lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity, and antiproliferative activity on cancer cells by these extracts were examined, and $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition assays were also performed. The EtOH extract from GR showed high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity ($EC_{50}=119.47{\pm}5.13\;{\mu}g/mL$), lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity ($EC_{50}=213.45{\pm}3.14\;{\mu}g/mL$) and a concentration dependence, with OD values ranging from 0.15 to 0.56 (50 to 200 ${\mu}g/mL$), for reducing power. The EtOH extract from GR has the highest antiproliferative activities on MDA-MB-231 and HepG2 cancer cells among four extracts. Meanwhile, all extracts showed certain $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition activities. These results indicate that extracts from two varieties of R. coreanus fruits have significant antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-tumorigenic activities, which suggest these extracts could be a potential source for pharmaceutical.

Ionic conductivity and mechanical properties of a mixed polymer matrix consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and cyanoresin type M (CRM) with various lithium salts and plasticizer were examined. The CRM used was a copolymer of cyanoethyl pullulan and cyanoethyl poly(vinyl alcohol) with a molar ratio of 1:1, mixed plasticizer was ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) at a volume ratio of 1:1. The conductive behavior of polymer electrolytes in the temperature range of $298{\sim}338\;K$ was investigated. The $PEG/LiClO_4$ complexes exhibited the highest ionic conductivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}S/cm$ at $25^{\circ}C$ with the salt concentration of 1.5 M. In addition, the plasticized $PEG/LiClO_4$ complexes exhibited improvement of ionic conductivity. However, their complexes showed decreased mechanical properties. The improvement of ionic conductivity and mechanical properties could be obtained from the polymer electrolytes by using CRM. The highest ionic conductivity of PEG/CRM/$LiClO_4$/(EC-PC) was $5.33{\time}10^{-4}S/cm$ at $25^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of salinity on the growth and development of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer) and to evaluate the inorganic ion content in Korean ginseng with different general complete fertilizer (GCF) and NaCI concentrations at two growth stages. The stem height of Korean ginseng treated with different GCF and NaCI concentrations decreased at the higher EC (2.0 dS m$^{-1}$ ), but there were no significant difference in the stem diameter, the leaf length, and the leaf width among different treatments. The root growth increased with the supply of GCF. Especially, the root growth was facilitated two times at 3.0 dS $\textrm{m}^{-1}$ as compared to control. But the root growth more sharply decreased with NaCI treatment than GCF. The $\textrm{K}^{+}$ and $\textrm{Mg}^{2+}$ content in leaves and roots increased with GCF at the early growth stage. At the late growth stage, the $\textrm{K}^{+}$ content in leaves decreased but the $\textrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and $\textrm{Mg}^{2+}$ content increased. The $\textrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and $\textrm{Mg}^{2+}$ content in roots increased but the $\textrm{K}^{+}$ content decreased. The $\textrm{Na}^{+}$ content in Korean ginseng increased sharply with NaCl treatment. The $\textrm{NO}_3^{-}$ content in leaves and $\textrm{NH}_4^{+}$ content in leaves and roots increased as GCF concentration increased. The $\textrm{NO}_3^{-}$ content in leaves, stems, and roots at the late growth stage decreased as NaCl concentration increased. The $\textrm{NH}_4^{+}$ content in leaves and roots decreased significantly at the early growth stage, but it decreased significantly in leaves and stems at the late growth stage. The root activity of Korean ginseng increased with GCF, but decreased as the EC increased with NaCl. The water potential of leaves with GCF showed no significant difference compare to control, but the water potential of leaves treated with NaCl decreased as EC increased.
