In order to obtain the fundamental informations on cellulase of Trichoderma viride QM 9414 for its production and utilization, some physico-chemical properties of the enzyme were reviewed. When T. viride QM 9414 was cultured on wheat bran medium, filter paper-disintegrating and carboxymethyl cellulose-saccharifying activity were increased with the cell growth, and thereafter CMC-saccharifying activity was kept on almost the same leved while filter-paper disintegrating activity was decreased sharply. And B-glucosidase was formed maximally on the late stationary phase of growth. The crude cellulase of cell-free extracts was purified by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, Sephadex-G 200 column chromatography and DEAE Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. Filter paper-disintegrating, CMC-saccharifying and B-glucosidase activity were purified 10-fold, 47-fold and 38-fold, respectively. The crude enzyme was proved to be a complex of three different enzyme proteins which were showing filter paper-disintegrating, CMC-saccharifying and B-glucosidase activity. The optimal pH of the three enzyme components was alike pH 4.0, and the optimal temperature for CMC-saccharifying, filter paper-disintegrating and B-glucosidase activity were 4$0^{\circ}C$, 45$^{\circ}C$ and 5$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. The Km and Vmax values of CMC saccharifying activity for CMC were 0.485% and 3.10, and the Km and Vmax vallues of B-glucosidase for PNPG were 0.944$\times$10-3M and 0.097, respectively. The Km and Vmax values of filter paper-disintegrating activity for Avicel were determined to be 0.09% and 0.178, respectively. B-Glucosidase activity was competitively inhibited by glucose, and the Ki value for this enzyme was 3.54$\times$10-3M, CMC saccharifying activity was found to be greatly inhibited by cellobiose.

PURPOSES : Nowadays, cavity phenomena occur increasingly in pavement layers of downtown areas. This leads to an increment in the number of potholes, sinkholes, and other failure on the road. A loss of earth and sand from the pavement plays a key role in the occurrence of cavities, and, hence, a structural-performance evaluation of the pavement is essential. METHODS: The structural performance was evaluated via finite-element analysis using KPRP and KICTPAVE. KPRP was developed in order to formulate a Korean pavement design guide, which is based on a mechanical-empirical pavement design guide (M-EPDG). RESULTS: Installation of the anti-freezing layer yielded a fatigue crack, permanent deformation, and international roughness index (IRI) of 13%, 0.7 cm, and 3.0 m/km, respectively, as determined from the performance analysis conducted via KPRP. These values satisfy the design standards (fatigue crack: 20%, permanent deformation: 1.3 cm, IRI: 3.5 m/km). The results of FEM, using KICTPAVE, are shown in Figures 8~12 and Tables 3~5. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the performance analysis (conducted via KPRP) satisfy the design standards, even if the thickness of the anti-freezing layer is not considered. The corresponding values (i.e., 13%, 0.7 cm, and 3.0 m/km) are obtained for all conditions under which this layer is applied. Furthermore, the stress and strain on the interlayer between the sub-grade and the anti-freezing layer decrease gradually with increasing thickness of the anti-freezing layer. In contrast, the strain on the interlayer between the sub-base and the anti-freezing layer increases gradually with this increase in thickness.

Objectives: As the use of herbal medicinal products (HMPs) increases worldwide, systematic verification of the safety of HMPs is required. The induction of cardiotoxicity is one of the major factors in post-approval withdrawal of medicinal products, and drug-induced cardiotoxicity assessment is emerging as an important step in drug development. In the present study, we evaluated human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel-related cardiotoxicity to predict the risk of cardiac arrhythmia in thirteen herbal medicines known to have cardiac toxicity. Methods: We measured the inhibition rate of hERG potassium channel activity of 13 medicinal herbal extracts in hERG-expressing HEK 293 cells using an automated patch-clamping system. Quinidine was used as a positive control for inhibition of hERG activity. Results: Extracts of Evodiae Fructus, Strychni Semen, and Corydalis Tuber potently inhibited the activity of hERG, and IC₅₀ values were 3.158, 19.87, and 41.26 ㎍/mL, respectively. Cnidi Fructus, Ephedra Herba, Lithospermi Radix, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Visci Ramulus et Folium, Asiasari Radix et Rhizoma, and Scolopendra weakly inhibited hERG activity, and the IC₅₀ value for each herbal medicine was more than 400 ㎍/mL. Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber and two types of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata (Po and Yeom) had weak inhibitory activity against hERG, and the IC₅₀ values were more than 700 ㎍/mL. The IC₅₀ value of quinidine against hERG was 1.021 𝜇M. Conclusion: Evodiae Fructus, Strychni Semen, and Corydalis Tuber acted as potent inhibitors against hERG. These herbal medicines may cause cardiac arrhythmia through QT prolongation, so care should be taken when taking them.

The vertical distributions of aerosol extinction coefficient were estimated using the scaling height retrieved at Gwangju, Korea ($35.23^{\circ}N$, $126.84^{\circ}E$) during a spring season (March to May) of 2009. The aerosol scaling heights were calculated on a basis of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and the surface visibilities. During the observation period, the scaling heights varied between 3.55 km and 0.39 km. The retrieved vertical profiles of extinction coefficient from these scaling heights were compared with extinction profile derived from the Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) observation. The retrieve vertical profiles of aerosol extinction coefficient were categorized into three classes according to the values of AODs and the surface visibilities: (Case I) the AODs and the surface visibilities are measured as both high, (Case II) the AODs and the surface visibilities are both lower, and (Others) the others. The averaged scaling heights for the three cases were $3.09{\pm}0.46km$, $0.82{\pm}0.27km$, and $1.46{\pm}0.57km$, respectively. For Case I, differences between the vertical profile retrieved from the scaling height and the LIDAR observation was highest. Because aerosols in Case I are considered as dust-dominant, uplifted dust above planetary boundary layer (PBL) was influenced this discrepancy. However, for the Case II and other cases, the modelled vertical aerosol extinction profiles from the scaling heights are in good agreement with the results from the LIDAR observation. Although limitation in the current modelling of vertical structure of aerosols exists for aerosol layers above PBL, the results are promising to assess aerosol profile without high-cost instruments.

The bright part of the halo luminosity function is derived from a sample of the 233 NLTT propermotion stars, which are selected by the 220 km/ see of cutoff velocity in transverse to rid the contamination by the disk stars and corrected for the stars omitted in the sample by the selection criterion. It is limited to the absolute magnitude range of $M_v=4-8$, but is based on the largest sample of halo stars up to now. This luminosity function provides a number density of $2.3{\cdot}10^{-5}pc^{-3}$ and a mass density of $2.3{\cdot}10^{-5}M_{o}pc^{-3}$ for 4 < $M_v$ < 8 in the solar neighborhood. These are not sufficient for disk stability. The kinematics of the sample stars are < U > = - 7 km/sec, < V > = - 228 km/sec, and < W > = -8 km/sec with (${\sigma_u},{\sigma_v},{\sigma_w}$) = (192, 84, 94) km/sec. The average metallicity of them is [Fe/H] = $- 1.7{\pm}0.8$. These are typical values for halo stars which are selected by the high cutoff velocity. We reanalyze the luminosity function for a sample of 57 LHS proper-motion stars. The newly derived luminosity function is consistent with the one derived from the NLTT halo stars, but gives a somewhat smaller number density for the absolute magnitude range covered by the LF from NLTT stars. The luminosity function based on the LHS stars seems to have a dip in the magnitude range corresponding to the Wielen Dip, but it also seems to have some fluctuations due to a small number of sample stars.

일반적으로 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 수치해석은 순간적으로 최대 하중이 재하 되는 크리프 컴플라이언스(creep compliance) 개념을 가지고 수행되지만 실제 차량의 하중은 시간에 따라 크기가 변화하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 차량의 이동 속도를 변화(25km/hr, 50km/hr, 80km/hr)시키며 현장의 포장 거동을 측정하고, 비선형 접지압력과 차량의 이동속도를 고려한 3차원 유한요소해석으로부터 얻어진 포장의 예측 거동을 비교 분석하였다. 현장거동에서 차량의 중간바퀴와 뒷바퀴에서 발생하는 횡방향 변형률과 종방향 변형률이 아스팔트 콘크리트 기층 하부에서 약 40%정도 차이가 나는 것으로 나타났으며 예측거동에서도 유사한 경향을 보여주었다. 그러나 예측거동의 경우 재료의 점탄성을 고려하지 못하고, 실제 하중의 이동을 완벽하게 고려하지 못했기 때문에 임계지점으로 차량이 접근하는 경우와 접근후에 대해서 정확한 설명이 힘든 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of this study was to build the diagnosis criteria of Qi deficiency using distribution of sum of 11 items for Qi deficiency in stroke patients. Between September 2006 and December 2010, 2,994 patients from 11 Korean medical hospitals were asked to complete the Korean Standard Pattern Identification for Stroke (K-SPI-Stroke) questionnaire as a part of project 'Fundamental study for the standardization and objectification of pattern identification in traditional Korean medicine for stroke (SOPI-Stroke). Each patient was independently diagnosed by two experts (traditional Korean medicine physicians) from the same site according to one of five patterns. 2,994 patients were divided modeling and testing in 70:30 ratio by stratification of pattern identification. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and odds ratio (OR) using distribution of sum of 11 items (signs and symptoms) for Qi deficiency. More than four from 11 items of Qi deficiency in modeling dataset, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and OR was 70.07%, 74.94%, 73.92% and 7.00, respectively. In testing dataset, 78.31%, 73.45%, 74.47% and 9.98, respectively. Although this values are not high, after values of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and OR should be more than current value, and then we should be able to suggest as objective diagnosing criteria.

낙동강 상류에 위치한 고랭지 농업 지대의 수질 특성을 조사하고 토지 이용 형태에 따른 부하 원단위를 산정하였다. 낙동강 고령지 농업지대에서 나오는 유출수가 하천 수질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 낙동강 권역 중 고령지 농업 활동이 주로 이루어지는 상류권역인 강원도 태백, 경상북도 봉화, 영주 주변의 지점을 선정하여 물 시료를 채취하여 모니터링 하였다. 낙동강 상류권인 강원도 태백과 경상북도 봉화 및 영주 지역의 시기별 BOD 농도는 $6\sim7$월에 석천계곡, 삼계삼 거리, 도촌교 밑, 내성천에서는 $10.71{\sim}18.25$ mg/L로 BOD의 농업용수질기준인 8 mg/L를 초과하였다. 이는 초기 강우 영농활동으로 인해 토양에 시비된 비료 성분들이 유출되었기 때문으로 판단된다. COD 농도는 BOD 값과 비교할 때 대체적으로 모두 높았으며, 특히 $6\sim7$월에 석천계곡, 삼계삼거리, 도촌교 밑, 내성천에서는 $18.11{\sim}21.26$ mg/L로 COD의 호소수질환경기준 중 농업용수질기준인 8 mg/L를 초과하였다. 이는 BOD와 마찬가지로 초기 강우 영농활동으로 인해 토양에 시비된 비료 성분들이 유출되었기 때문으로 판단된다. T-N 농도는 $0.1{\sim}14$ mg/L의 범위로 측정되었고 대부분의 경우 상류지역 몇 군데를 제외하고는 거의 전 지역에서 호소수질환경 농업용수기준인 1 mg/L을 초과하였다. 종합해보면 상류에서 하류로 갈수록, 비영농기보다 영농기에서 대체적으로 총 질소의 농도가 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 자정작용에 의해 희석되어야 하지만 계속해서 질소를 함유한 영양물질(영농활동)이 유입되기 때문이며, 또한 영농기에는 비료의 사용과 집중 강우로 주변 하천으로 유입되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 총 인(T-P)은 영농활동이 집중적으로 이루어지는 7월의 경우 하류 지역의 총인의 함량이 약 0.4 mg/L로 조류발생가능수준(0.05 mg/L)보다 8배 정도 높았으며, 이는 영농활동을 위하여 시용된 인산질 비료가 토양에 흡착되어 강우 시 토양유실과 함께 하천으로 이동되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 낙동강 조사 고랭지 밭 유역의 밭의 BOD 부하 원단위는 12.25 $kg/km^2{\cdot}day$이었으며, T-P의 부하 원단위는 0.55 $kg/km^2{\cdot}day$, T-N의 부하 원단위는 32.35 $kg/km^2{\cdot}day$이었다. 밭에서 나오는 오염부하량이 산림지에 비해 BOD에서 약 14배, 총 인(T-P)에서 약 9배, 총질소(T-N)에서 약 19배 이상 정도 높다. 현재도 계속해서 임야가 개간되어 영농 활동이 이루어지고 있기 때문에 밭에 대한 오염 부하량은 관리 대책이 없을 경우 계속 높아질 것으로 판단되므로 최적영농관리기법이 도입되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
