A novel activated carbon produced from cherry laurel (Laurocerasus officinalisRoem.) seeds (CLSAC) by chemical activation with ZnCl2 was used as an adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions. CLSAC was characterized by several techniques and the adsorption experiments were performed in a batch model adsorption technique. The effects of various experimental parameters were investigated as a function of solution pH, contact time, initial Cr(VI) concentration, CLSAC concentration, and temperature. The monolayer adsorption capacity of CLSAC was found to be 41.67 mg g-1 for 5.0 g L-1 of CLSAC concentration and, it was concluded that CLSAC can be used as an effective adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from waters and wastewaters.

This study is a report on combinational effects between four sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) from bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) leaves, and oxytetracycline (OTC) or amoxicillin (AMX) against four fish pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio anguillarum, V. harveyi, Edwardsiella tarda, and Streptococcus iniae. Individually, four SLs exerted little antibacterial activity against fish pathogenic bacteria. However, when combined with OTC or AMX, they showed synergistic interaction against pathogenic bacteria. Especailly, zaluzanin C (1) reduced the MIC of OTC (or AMX) eight-fold. Our results showed that combinations of SLs with antibiotics (ABTs) are more effective than ABTs alone to control pathogenic bacteria. The highest synergistic effect was observed when zaluzanin C (1) was combined with OTC or AMX against V. harvey or S. iniae, displaying significant reductions of MICs up to 8-fold (0.125 to 0.015 ㎍/mL and 0.0078 to 0.0009 ㎍/mL). In addition, zaluzanin C (1) improved the antibiotic potency of OTC against OTC resistant V. harveyi (250 ㎍/mL to 62.5 ㎍/mL). Synergism between ABTs and phytochemical such as SLs could be a therapeutically helpful concept to improve the efficacy of ABTs and prevent antibiotic resistance. These results suggest that SLs can be used as an alternative to reduce antibiotic resistance in aquaculture.

The dyeings of cotton and silk fabric with Laurus tree extracts were investigated. The colorant was extracted with distilled water at $100^{\circ}C$ for lh. Dyeability(K/S), color fastness and antibacterial property of cotton and silk fabric were tested under conditions of various time, temperature, concentration, repeat-number of dyeing and mordants. The characteristics of dyeings Laurus extracts were figured out by K/S and CIELab values and color-fastness test was estimated in terms of wash fastness and light fastness. The maximum wavelength of spectrum was 670nm. The K/S value of cotton and silk fabric increased with increasing dyeing time and the exhaustion was saturated in 90min. Optical dyeing temperatures of cotton and silk fabrics were $60^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. The mordant effect on cotton fabric was achieved using Fe mordant. On the other hand, the mordant effect on silk fabric was obtained using Fe and Cu mordants. The wash fastness of cotton fabric was higher than that of silk fabric. Antibacterial property of silk dyeing was greater than that of cotton dyeing. In addition, the excellent antibacterial effect was imparted by Fe-post mordant method.

본 논문은 서울특별시 기념물 제5호로 지정 관리되고 있는 손기정 월계관 기념수의 내력을 규명하고자 수행되었다. 1936년 손기정 선수의 베를린 올림픽 마라톤 제패는 일제강점기 고통스러운 나날을 보내던 우리 민족에게 커다란 자부심과 민족정기를 북돋아 주는 계기가 되었다. 당시 손기정 선수가 부상으로 받은 묘목은 현재 서울역 서쪽 만리동 언덕의 손기정 체육공원에 자라고 있으며, 미국산 대왕참나무(Quercus palustris)이다. 1936년 개최된 제11회 베를린 올림픽은 히틀러가 독일 게르만족의 역사와 문화의 우수성을 과시하기 위한 절호의 기회인데, 독일산 참나무 대신 미국산 대왕참나무를 수여한다는 것은 사리에 맞지 않는다. 서울시와 각종 매체에는 이를 히틀러의 단순 착오에 의한 결과라거나 다소 억지스러운 추측으로 그 내력을 기정사실화하고 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 당시 우리나라의 신문 기사와 독일 일간지 기사 및 최근 소개된 독일 주간 유력지 슈피겔(Der Spiegel) 기사 등을 근거로 손기정 선수가 받은 월계수가 로부르참나무(Quercus robur)였다는 것을 밝힐 수 있었다. 이와 같은 여러 정황을 근거로, 원래 수여 받은 로부르참나무를 손기정 기념공원 내에 식재하고, 새롭게 밝혀진 내력을 서울시 홈페이지와 각종 기록에 고지하기를 제언하고자 한다.

The in Vitro chemosensitivity of fibroblast cell strains was determined using a semiautomated tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay(MTT assay) to 16 cosmetic materials. This assay is useful method to evaluate toxic effects of the chemicals. From assay results, we determined that the preservatives are more toxic than moisteurizers. The chemicals in the same group have a different toxicity. That is, in preservatives, Germall -115 is more toxic than Danisol -M, -p, and in surfactant sodium laurel sulfate than Myrj 52, and in moisteurizers, 1, 3-butylene glycol is more safe than the others. When the results from this assay for preservatives were compared with patch test results, good correlation was observed. Forthemore, this assay method can be used together with Patch test for the evaluation of the chemical toxicity, particularly in cosmetic field.

This study surveys the physical properties of ATY produced with FDY and POY. ATY is made with 70d Nylon FDY and 80d Nylon POY using AIKI air jet texturing machines, respectively. The processing parameters such as air pressure and yam speed are varied, and air pressure is varied ranging with 8.5bar, l0.5bar and 1l.5bar, and yarn speed is varied ranging with 400m/mim, 450m/mim, and 500m/min. The various physical properties of ATY made by POY and FDY denier, wet shrinkage, dry shrinkage, tensile properties, thermal stress and instability are measured and discussed with air pressure and yam speed. The shrinkage simulation of ATY is performed for analysing the process shrinkage on the dyeing and finishing processes.

We recently reported that a water extract of laurel or turmeric, 1,8-cineole enriched fractions, showed hypolipidemic activity in the zebrafish model. Therefore, the present study investigated the cineole's anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in lipoprotein metabolism in vitro and in vivo. Cineole had inhibitory effects on cupric ion-mediated oxidation of lipoproteins in general, while simultaneously enhancing ferric ion removal ability in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Hypercholesterolemia was induced in zebrafish using cholesterol-feeding treatment, 4% cholesterol, for 3 weeks. After feeding with or without the addition of cineole, the results revealed that cineole possessed lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory activities in hypercholesterolemic zebrafish. In addition, serum amyloid A and interleukin-6 levels were lowered and lipid accumulation was decreased in the liver. Conclusively, 1,8-cineole was found to have anti-oxidant activities in lipoprotein metabolism both in vitro and in vivo with simultaneous reduction of lipid accumulation in the liver of zebrafish.

Resent advances in computer technology have introduced a sophisticated capability for computing the biological fate of toxicants in a biological system. This methodology, which has drastically altered risk assessment skill in toxicology, is designed using all the mechanistic information, and all claim better accuracy with extrapolating capability Iron animal to people than conventional pharmacokinetic methods. Biologically based mathematical models in which the specific mechanistic steps governing tissue disposition(pharmacokinetics) and toxic action (pharmacodynamics) of chemicals are constructed in quantitative terms by a set of equations loading to prediction of the outcome of specific toxicological experiments by computer simulation. pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models are useful in risk assessment because their mechanistic biological basis permits the high-to-low dose, route to route and interspecies extrapolation of the tissue disposition and toxic action of chemicals.

The content of hesperidin in the mixed tea, which was composed of dried orange peel, laurel leaf, mulberry leaf, silver magnolia leaf, oriental melon tap, cassia seed, and licorice root, was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Hesperidin was quantified by a reverse phase column with gradient solvent system (watcr:acetonitrile = 80:20 to 35:65 for 30 min) and UV/VIS detection (280 nm). The How rate was kept constant at 1.0 ml/min. The content of hesperidin in the mixed tea was measured in depending on extraction time 1, 2, 3, and 4 min (29.07, 52.39, 52.45, and 88.35 mg/g, respectively).

본 연구에서는 게임에서 플레이어가 행하는 동작이 게임에서 추상화되는데 있어 어떤 형태를 가지는지 테니스 게임을 중심으로 다양한 플랫폼을 통해 사례연구를 수행하였다. 특히 추상화되어진 테니스 액션에서 얻을 수 있는 플레이어 경험의 형태를 로렐(laurel)이 제시한 모델에 따라 이동, 스윙, 방향과 세기, 스킬의 4가지로 축약하여, 초기 비디오 게임, 콘솔 게임, 모바일 게임, 동작인식 게임, 웨어러블 게임 등에서 조망하고 이를 도식화 하였다. 결론적으로 기술에 발전에 따른 플랫폼의 변화는 버튼을 누르던 단조로운 게임 플레이에서 직접 라켓을 휘두르는 것과 같은 물리적 유사 행위로 치환되어 확장된 경험을 플레이어에게 제공한다. 나아가 인터페이스에 따라 행위의 차이는 약간씩 발견되나 문맥 자체는 일관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
