The migration of silver (Ag) in silicon carbide (SiC) and $^{110m}Ag$ through SiC of irradiated tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel has been studied for the past three to four decades. However, there is no satisfactory explanation for the transport mechanism of Ag in SiC. In this work, the diffusion coefficients of Ag measured and/or estimated in previous studies were reviewed, and then pre-exponential factors and activation energies from the previous experiments were evaluated using Arrhenius equation. The activation energy is $247.4kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from Ag paste experiments between two SiC layers produced using fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition (FBCVD), $125.3kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from integral release experiments (annealing of irradiated TRISO fuel), $121.8kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from fractional Ag release during irradiation of TRISO fuel in high flux reactor (HFR), and $274.8kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from Ag ion implantation experiments, respectively. The activation energy from ion implantation experiments is greater than that from Ag paste, fractional release and integral release, and the activation energy from Ag paste experiments is approximately two times greater than that from integral release experiments and fractional Ag release during the irradiation of TRISO fuel in HFR. The pre-exponential factors are also very different depending on the experimental methods and estimation. From a comparison of the pre-exponential factors and activation energies, it can be analogized that the diffusion mechanism of Ag using ion implantation experiment is different from other experiments, such as a Ag paste experiment, integral release experiments, and heating experiments after irradiating TRISO fuel in HFR. However, the results of this work do not support the long held assumption that Ag release from FBCVD-SiC, used for the coating layer in TRISO fuel, is dominated by grain boundary diffusion. In order to understand in detail the transport mechanism of Ag through the coating layer, FBCVD-SiC in TRISO fuel, a microstructural change caused by neutron irradiation during operation has to be fully considered.

ULSI급 CMOS 소자를 개발, 제작하고 또한 그것의 전기적 특성을 정확히 분석하기 위해서는 공정 및 소자 시뮬레이터의 사용이 필수적이다. 대면적 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션 결과가 다차원 소자 시뮬레이터의 입력으로 사용되려면 과도한 입자수의 증가로 비효율성을 띄게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 3차원 몬테 카를로 이온 주입 시뮬레이터인 TRICSI 코드를 이용하여 물리적으로 타당하며 또한 효율적으로 시뮬레이션 입자 수를 증가시켜 대면적 이온 주입시의 3차원 통계 분포의 잡음 영역을 최소화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 후속 공정인 열확산 공정이나 RTA(급속 열처리) 공정의 확산 방정식을 푸는 경우 발산을 막기 위해 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션 결과의 통계 분포에 대한 후처리 과정으로 3차원 셀을 이용한 보간 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 수행 결과 가상 궤적 발생법(split-trajectory method)만을 사용한 것에 비해 계산 시간은 2배로 늘이지 않는 범위에서 10배 이상의 이온 입자 생성 분포를 얻을 수 있다.

식물배양세포를 이용하여 효율적인 제초제 검정시스템을 확립하기 위하여 다른 작용기작을 가진 몇가지 제초제를 사용하여 담배 PM세포에 대한 반응성을 세포생장과 배지의 이온전도도를 측정하여 조사하였다. 담배 PM세포는 0.7 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.3 mg/L kinetin, 30 g/L sucrose를 함유한 MS배지에서 $25^{\circ}C$, 광조건에서 현탁배양 (100rpm)하였다 계대배양시 약제를 처리한 후 12일째의 세포생장과 배지의 이온전도도를 측정한 결과, 이온전도도 측정결과는 세포생장의 것과 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 담배 PM세포에 대한 각 화합물의 반응성은 약제의 작용기작을 반영하면서 다양하였다. PET 저해화합물인 atrazine은 담배 PM세포에 가장 강한 활성을 나타내었다 (IC50, 1 $\mu$M). GS 저해제인 glufosinate, 세포분열저해제인 butachlor, carotenoid 생합성저해제인 fluridone은 농도에 비례하여 저해활성을 나타내었다. 그러나 오옥신활성을 지닌다고 알려진 quinclorac은 억제활성을 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 배지의 이온 전도도 측정은 간편하면서 재현성이 좋은 신규 제초제의 탐색방법으로 유용할 것으로 시사된다.

수용체를 통한 저밀도 지방단백질(LDL)의 세포내 이동과 함께 일어나는 지용성 돌연변이원인 벤조피렌의 세포내 이동에 관하여 조사하였다. [$^3$H]로 표지된 벤조피 렌의 Hep 2 세포내 이동을 조사한 결과, 배지에 LDL을 첨가한 경우. LDL이 첨가되지 않은 경우보다 3배나 많은 양의 벤조피렌이 세포내로 이동하여 세포내 물질과 결합하였음을 관찰하였다. 그러나 10$\mu$M의 황산구리로 LDL의 아포단백질을 변형 시킨 후 변형된 LDL을 배지에 첨가하고 벤조피렌의 세포내 이동을 조사한 건과, 정상 LDL이 첨가된 경우보다 벤조피렌의 세포내 이동이 현저히 감소하였다. 이 결과는 LDL을 이동체로 이용한 벤조피렌의 세포내 이동이 세포의 수용체와 LDL의 아포 단백질의 인식과정을 거친다는 사실을 뒷받침한다고 여겨진다.

The effect of gamma-ray on yeast cells Sacch. cerevisiae, and the leakage of cellular constituents such as carbohydrates, ribose, amino acids, inorganic phosphates and organic phosphates have been studied. The samples of yeast cells washed throughly and starved intensively, radiation effects were compared with those of control (un-starved), the irradiation dose rates are in the range from 24 Kr. up. to 480, Kr. The loss of 260m$\mu$. absorbing material, are also observed. Mechanisms of membrane damage by gamma-irradiation are discussed corelating to permeability changes and loss of substances, then active and passive transport process are also under considerations in discussion. The experimental results are as follows, 1. Carbohydrates of yeast cell leak out by gamma-irradiation, and amounts of loss increase proportionally as the increasing of radiation dose, curve of carbohydrates loss in starved cells is parallel with those of non-starved cells. 2. Ribose leak out less than that of carbohydrate from irradiated cell, the dose response curve of loss is straight and proportional to the increasing of radiation doses, slope of the curve is much lower than of carbohydrates. 3. Amino acids also leak out and the curve of losses to radiation is not proportional, it is revealed that there are little losses from yeast at lower doses of irradiation. 4. The losses of inorganic phosphates increase unproportionally to the increasing of irradiation doses, there are little leakage at the lower doses of irradiation. The losses of organic phosphates increase proportionally to the increasing of irradiation doses, and the amount of losses are much more than that of inorganic phosphate at lower doses of irradiation. 5. Leakage from irradiated yeast cells was shown to be due to passive transport process not an energy requiring process of ion transport. 6. Loss of 260 m$\mu$. absorbing material is little more than that of control yeast by the gamma-irradiation dose of 120K.r. and 240K.r.

Two air vents situated on a heat transport pipe in district heating system were exposed to the same environment for 10 years. However, one air vent was more corroded than the other. It also had a hole on the top of the front-end pipe. Comparative analysis was performed for these air vents to identify the cause of corrosion and establish countermeasures. Through experimental observation of the damaged part and analyses of powders sampled from air vents, it was found that corrosion was initiated at the top of the front-end pipe. It then spread to the bottom. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results showed that potassium and chlorine were measured from the corroded product in the damaged air vent derived from rainwater and insulation, respectively. The temperature of the damaged air vent was maintained at 75 ~ 120 ℃ by heating water. Rainwater-soaked insulation around the front-end pipe had been hydrolyzed. Therefore, the damaged air vent was exposed to an environment in which corrosion under insulation could be facilitated. In addition, ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma measurements indicated that the matrix of the damaged front-end pipe contained a higher manganese content which might have promoted corrosion under insulation.

The mammalian cortical collecting duct (CCD) plays a major role in regulating renal NaCl reabsorption, which is important in $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ homeostasis. The M-1 cell line, derived from the mouse cortical collecting duct, has been used as a mammalian model of the study on the electrolytes transport in CCD. M-1 cells were grown on collagen-coated permeable support and short circuit current $(I_{sc})$ was measured. M-1 cells developed amiloride-sensitive current $5{\sim}7$ days after seeding. Apical and basolateral addition of ATP induced increase in $I_{sc}$ in M-1 cells, which was partly retained in $Na^+-free$ or $Cl^--free$ solution, indicating that ATP increased $Na^+$ absorption and $Cl^-$ secretion in M-1 cells. $Cl^-$ secretion was mediated by the activation of apical cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) chloride channels and $Ca^{2+}-activated$ chloride channels, but $Na^+$ absorption was not mediated by activation of epithelal sodium channel (ENaC). ATP increased cAMP content in M-1 cells. The RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that M-1 cells express $P2Y_2,\;P2X_3\;and\;P2Y_4$ receptors. These results showed that ATP regulates $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ transports via multiple P2 purinoceptors on the apical and basolateral membranes in M-1 cells.

ECEPP/2 및 MM2 방법을 이용하여 고리형 헥사펩티드의 형태 및 알칼리 금속 양이온과의 착물형성 그리고 DPH에 의한 양이온 전달방해를 이론적으로 살펴보았다. 착물을 형성하지 않은 고리형 펩티드에 대하여 여러 가지 안정한 형태가 얻어졌으며, 대부분의 아미드 수소원자는 카르보닐 산소와 분자내 수소결합을 이루고 있어 조밀한 구조를 나타내었다. 펩티드와 Na$^+$ 이온 및 DPH간의 착물형성에너지는 각각 -60kcal/mol 및 -18kcal/mol이었다. 그러나 헥사펩티드의 국부최소에너지 구조들에는 금속 양이온을 결합할 수 있는 공동이 존재하지 않았고 공동이 존재하는 헥사펩티드의 에너지는 본 연구의 최저에너지 구조보다 10kcal/mol 정도 높은 에너지를 주었으며, 이러한 에너지 차이와 금속 양이온의 탈수 과정을 고려하면 DPH에 의한 양이온 전달방해를 설명할 수 있었다. 또한 DPH와 결합하는데 있어서의 가장 중요한 아미노산 잔기는 글리신이었으며 이를 사코신(N-메틸 글리신) 으로 치환할 때 양이온 전달이 저해되는 실험적 사실을 설명할 수 있었다.

Supported liquid membrane process usually is used for recovering or enrichment of valuable metals in the industrial wastewater. But, even if the metals in the wastewater was separated with high chemical selectivity, it cannot be enough concentrated since separation performance of supported liquid membrane (SLM) process is limited by concentration gradient between feed solution and stripping solution. If metal concentration in the stripping solution to be enough low, transport of metal through membrane can be accomplishment constantly. Therefore, Electrodialysis (ED) has been placed after SLM process and the stripping solution of SLM was used as the feed solution for the ED process. Transport of ions in the solutions is successfully performed by ED process. Thus, the metal concentration in the stripping solution does not rise as to stop ion transport. Besides, valuable metals easily are concentrated by ED process for re-use. In this study, effects of operation parameters like initial Cd(II) concentration, HCl concentration in the feed solution of SLM and applied voltage are investigated on separation efficiency, flux and permeability of the both processes. As the feed solution concentration increased, all performance values has increased. When initial concentration of 100 mg/L is used, separation performances (SP) are 55% and 70%, for SLM and consecutive process, respectively. The best HCl concentration in the feed solution of SLM has determined as 2 M, in this conditions SP are 64% and 72%, for SLM and consecutive process, respectively. With increased of applied voltage on ED process, SP of the consecutive process has been raised from 72% to 83%. According to the obtained experimental data, consecutive process has better separation performance than SLM. When the separation performances of both processes were compared for the same operating conditions, it was determined higher the separation efficiency, permeability and flux values of the consecutive process, 8%, 9% and %10.6, respectively. Consequently, the use of the consecutive process increases the performance efficiency of both processes. The consecutive process studied has quite a good chemical separation efficiency, and enrichment capability. Moreover, this process requires few water and energy.

Size distribution of particulate water-soluble ion components was measured at Gosan, Korea using a micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI). Sulfate, ammonium, and nitrate showed peaks in three size ranges; Sulfate and ammonium were of dominant species measured in the fine mode ($D_{p} < 1.8 {\mu}m$). One peak was observed in the condensation mode ($0.218\sim0.532{\mu}m$), and the other peak was obtained in the droplet mode ($0.532\sim1.8{\mu}m$). Considering the fact that the equivalent ratios of ammonium to sulfate ranged from 0.5 to 1.0 in these size ranges, it is inferred that they formed sufficiently neutralized compounds such as ($NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4} and (NH_{4})_{3}H(SO_{4})_{2}$ during the long-range transport of anthropogenic pollutants. On the other hand, nitrate was distributed mainly in the coarse mode ($3.1\sim6.2{\mu}m$) combined with soil and sea salt. Two sets of MOUDI samples were collected in each season. One sample was collected when the concentrations of criteria air pollutants were relatively high, but the other represented relatively clean air quality. The concentrations of sulfate and ammonium particles in droplet mode were the highest in winter and the lowest in summer. When the air quality was bad, the increase of nitrate was observed in the condensation mode ($0.218\sim0.282{\mu}m$). It thus suggests that the nitrate particles were produced through gas phase reaction of nitric acid with ammonia. Chloride depletion was remarkably high in summer due to the high temperature and relative humidity.
