바이오가스 이용 최적화를 위해 탈황 및 제습 전처리시설 가이드라인으로 $H_2S$ 농도는 철염으로 처리가능한 150 ppm으로 설정하고, 제습은 발전기 운전 적정수분 값이며 EU회원국에서 바이오가스 활용 시 적용하는 상대습도 60 %로 설정하였다. 국내 바이오가스 평균 온도인 $31^{\circ}C$에서 상대습도 60 %으로 적용한다면 노점온도 $22^{\circ}C$, 절대습도 $20.57g/m^3$으로 나타낼 수 있으며, 전처리 설비가 적절히 가동된다면 가이드라인에 만족하여 바이오가스의 이용이 최적화 될 것으로 사료된다. 바이오가스 이용 최적화를 위해 발전기 설비 가이드라인을 설정하고자 하였다. 바이오가스 적정 이용량으로는 전체 가스 발생량의 90 % 이상을 이용해야하며, 발전기 시설의 용량은 여유율을 10~30 %로 설정해야 한다. 발전기에 유입가스의 압력을 균등화하기 위해서는 가스 균등조(buffer tank)를 설치하며, 발전실 평균온도는 $45^{\circ}C$이하로 유지한다. 소화조에서 일정한 메탄농도로 가스가 생성되지 않아 효율이 저하되므로 메탄농도에 변화에 따른 공기연료비 제어시스템을 설치가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 유기성폐자원의 바이오가스 생산 및 이용을 최적화를 위해 현장시설의 정밀모니터링과 시설별 에너지수지를 분석하고, 현장문제 해결방안에 대해서 조사하여 전처리시설 및 발전기 등의 설계 및 운전 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common and aggressive malignancy. Despite of the improvements in its treatment, HCC prognosis remains poor due to its recurrence after resection. This study provides complete genetic profile for Egyptian HCC. Genome-wide analyses were performed to identify the predictive signatures. Patients and Methods: Liver tissue was collected from 31 patients with diagnosis of HCC and gene expression levels in the tumours and their adjacent non-neoplastic tissues samples were studied by analyzing changes by microarray then correlate these with the clinico-pathological parameters. Genes were validated in an independent set by qPCR. The genomic profile was associated with genetic disorders and cancer focused on gene expression, cell cycle and cell death. Molecular profile analysis revealed cell cycle progression and arrest at G2/M, but progression to mitosis; unregulated DNA damage check-points, and apoptosis. Result: Nine hundred fifty eight transcripts out of the 25,000 studied cDNAs were differentially expressed; 503 were up-regulated and 455 were down-regulated. A total of 19 pathways were up-regulated through 27 genes and 13 pathways were down-regulated through 19 genes. Thirty-seven genes showed significant differences in their expression between HCC cases with high and low Alpha Feto Protein ($AFP{\geq}600$ IU/ml). The validation for the microarray was done by real time PCR assay in which PPP3CA, ATG-5, BACE genes showed down-regulation and ABCG2, RXRA, ELOVL2, CXR3 genes showed up-regulation. cDNA microarrays showed that among the major upregulated genes in HCC are sets. Conclusion: The identified genes could provide a panel of new diagnostic and prognostic aids for HCC.

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detector (DAD) method was established for the discrimination of a folk medicine Forsythia suspensa and Forsythia viridissima. Five and three representative metabolites of the lignan and phenolic glycoside classes were selected for the analysis from F. suspensa and F. viridissima, respectively. The optimal chromatographic conditions were obtained on an ODS column (5 ${\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}250$ mm) with the column temperature at $40^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase was composed of methanol and 0.3% acetic acid using an isocratic elution with the flow rate 1 mL/min. Detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ($r^2$ > 0.996) within test ranges. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) values were lower than 0.096 and 0.291 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The developed method provided satisfactory precision and accuracy with overall intra-day and inter-day variations of 0.07-0.63% and 0.14-0.62%, respectively, and the overall recoveries of 97.79-102.46% for all of the compounds analyzed. In addition, effectiveness of diverse extraction methods was compared to each other for the development of standard analytical method. The verified method was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of representative metabolites in fifty-three commercial F. suspensa samples and fifteen commercial F. viridissima samples from diverse sources. The overall analytical results showed the unequivocal differences in bioactive constituents between F. suspensa and F. viridissima.

A set of prediction equations to estimate the nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) of individual ingredients and diets used in the poultry feed industry was evaluated. The AMEn values of three energy ingredients (maize, sorghum and defatted maize germ meal), four protein ingredients (soybean meal, maize gluten meal 60% crude protein, integral micronized soy and roasted whole soybean) and four diets (three containing four feedstuffs, complex diets, and one containing only corn-soybean meal, basal diet) were determined using a metabolism assay with male broilers from 1 to 7, 8 to 21, 22 to 35, and 36 to 42 days old. These values were compared to the AMEn values presented in the tables of energy composition or estimated by equation predictions based on chemical composition data of feedstuffs. In general, the equation predictions more precisely estimated the AMEn of feedstuffs when compared to the tables of energy composition. The equation AMEn (dry matter [DM] basis) = 4,164.187+51.006 ether extract (% in DM basis)-197.663 ash-35.689 crude fiber (% in DM basis)-20.593 neutral detergent fiber (% in DM basis) ($R^2=0.75$) was the most applicable for the prediction of the energy values of feedstuffs and diets used in the poultry feed industry.

Fine wool sheep (n=18) maintained in a tropical environment were allocated to three treatment groups. Estrus was induced with two injections of $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ (10 mg. im) at 10 days interval. Superovulation treatment started 2 days prior to the second injection of $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$. Each ewe was treated with a total dose of 25 units FSH (Super-OV) i.m. every 12 hover 3 days; Group 2 were also injected i.m. with 200 IU PMSG at the first injection of FSH; Group 3 was treated as in Group 2 and also with GnRH ($4{\mu}g$ Buserelin) at the onset of estrus. The ewes in estrus were mated with a fertile ram. Ovarian examination and recovery of embryo and ova were performed at laparoscopy and laparotomy on day 3 or 4 after mating. Data for onset of estrus, duration of estrus, number of corpora lutea (CL), number of unnovulated large follicle (LF), embryo recovery rate, embryo quality and fertilization recorded for the 3 groups. Ewes in the Group 1 set in estrus later (p<0.05; $50.0{\pm}7.29h$) than the ewes in Group 2 ($24.5{\pm}3.58$) and 3 ($32.5{\pm}3.58h$). The duration of estrus, ovarian size and ovarian response (number of CL and LF) did not differ significantly (p>0.05) among the 3 groups. The proportion of ewes with a superovulatory response (${\geq}2$ CL) was the lowest (50%) in Group 1 treated with FSH alone but ova/embryo recovery (100%) and fertilization (100%) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than Group 2 (58.3 and 85.7%, respectively) and Group 3 (48.6 and 50%, respectively). It is concluded that in tropical fine wool sheep, there is no difference in the 3 treatments for yield of good quality embryos but ovarian response and ovulation rate increased on additional use of PMSG and GnRH respectively to FSH alone.

연구배경 : 국내에서 검출된 폐렴구균의 페니실린 내성률은 약 70%로 알려져 있고, 특히 고도 내성률은 33%로 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 왔다. 내성 균주에 대한 경험적 항생제가 실패할 수 있다는 보고가 있었으나, 내성 여부가 사망률과 무관하다는 반론들도 적지 않았다. 이에 저자들은 폐렴구균에 의한 지역사회획득폐렴에서 페니실린 내성률을 조사하였고, 페니실린에 대한 내성이 치료 실패와 직접적인 연관이 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1999년 7월부터 2001년 5월까지 한림대학교 성심병원에 내원한 지역사회 획득 폐렴 환자 중 객담 및 혈액 배양검사를 통해 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴으로 진단된 42명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 배양된 폐렴구균에 대해 E-test를 시행하여 MIC에 따라 감수성, 중등도 내성, 고도 내성으로 분류하여 내성률을 조사하였고, 각 군별로 내성여부에 따른 임상경과를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴으로 진단된 42명의 환자 중 페니실린 감수성 균주($MIC{\leq}0.06{\mu}g/m{\ell}$)는 14예(33.3%), 중등도 내성 균주(MIC $0.1-1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$)는 22예(52.4%), 고도 내성($MIC{\geq}2.0{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) 균주는 6예(14.3%)였다. 경험적 항생제 치료에 대해 감수성 균주에 의한 폐렴 군과 내성 균주에 의한 폐렴 군간에 임상경과는 차이가 없었다. 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴에서 페니실린에 대한 내성률은 66.7%로 현재까지의 보고와 큰 차이가 없으나 고도내성의 경우 약 33%로 알려진 것에 비해 저자들의 연구에서는 14.3%로 낮게 조사되었다. DRSPTWG의 분류에 따른 내성률은 26.2%에 불과했으며, 고도내성에 해당하는 균주는 없었다. 결 론 : 이와 같은 결과는 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴의 내성을 정의하는 현재의 기준이 지나치게 낮아 항생제 내성이 높게 나타났기 때문으로 사료되며 기존의 기준에 의한 내성은 경험적 항생제 치료의 예후에 별다른 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다.

During the day time in summer, peak of air conditing load, and electric power management system lies under overloaded condition. The reason is the enlarged peak load value of electric power caused by increased air-cooling load in summer. To prevent load concentration during day time and overloaded condition of power management system, some energy storage methods are suggested. One of these methods is ice storage system. Water has some good properties as P.C.M.(Phase Chang Material) : Its melting point is the range of required operation temperature. It has large specific latent heat and is chemically stable compared to other organic or inorganic substances. It is cheap and easy to treat. This study represents experimental results of heat transfer characteristics of P.C.M. under the outward melting process in a vertical cylinder. We experimented with twelve combinations of conditions, i.e., three different inlet temperatures($7^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C\;and\;1^{\circ}C$), two working fluid directions(upward and downward), and two aspect ratios, H/R(4 and 2). At the inlet temperature of $7^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$, there was temperature stagnation region where the temperature of P.C.M. remains constant at $4^{\circ}C$ regardless of aspect ratio and direction of working fluid. This temperature stagnation occurs as the water, at its maximum density, flows down to the lower region. The phase change interface formed bell-shaped curve as the melting process continued. With a new set of conditions(4H/R, inlet temperature $4^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$, downward/upwerd inlet direction), the movement of phase change interface was faster when the working flued inlet direction was downward. With the same set of conditions, melting rate and total melting energy were larger when the working fluid inlet direction was downward. The results were reversed when the other sets of conditions were applied.

A new method of numerical simulating prediction and decontamination effect evaluation for abrasive jet decontamination to radioactively contaminated metal is proposed. Based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics and Discrete Element Model (CFD-DEM) coupled simulation model, the motion patterns and distribution of abrasives can be predicted, and the decontamination effect can be evaluated by image processing and recognition technology. The impact of three key parameters (impact distance, inlet pressure, abrasive mass flow rate) on the decontamination effect is revealed. Moreover, here are experiments of reliability verification to decontamination effect and numerical simulation methods that has been conducted. The results show that: ⁶⁰Co and other homogeneous solid solution radioactive pollutants can be removed by abrasive jet, and the average removal rate of Co exceeds 80%. It is reliable for the proposed numerical simulation and evaluation method because of the well goodness of fit between predicted value and actual values: The predicted values and actual values of the abrasive distribution diameter are Ф57 and Ф55; the total coverage rate is 26.42% and 23.50%; the average impact velocity is 81.73 m/s and 78.00 m/s. Further analysis shows that the impact distance has a significant impact on the distribution of abrasive particles on the target surface, the coverage rate of the core area increases at first, and then decreases with the increase of the impact distance of the nozzle, which reach a maximum of 14.44% at 300 mm. It is recommended to set the impact distance around 300 mm, because at this time the core area coverage of the abrasive is the largest and the impact velocity is stable at the highest speed of 81.94 m/s. The impact of the nozzle inlet pressure on the decontamination effect mainly affects the impact kinetic energy of the abrasive and has little impact on the distribution. The greater the inlet pressure, the greater the impact kinetic energy, and the stronger the decontamination ability of the abrasive. But in return, the energy consumption is higher, too. For the decontamination of radioactively contaminated metals, it is recommended to set the inlet pressure of the nozzle at around 0.6 MPa. Because most of the Co elements can be removed under this pressure. Increasing the mass and flow of abrasives appropriately can enhance the decontamination effectiveness. The total mass of abrasives per unit decontamination area is suggested to be 50 g because the core area coverage rate of the abrasive is relatively large under this condition; and the nozzle wear extent is acceptable.

실험실에서 자체 제작한 자유유통 전기이동 장치 에서 등전집속법을 이용한 대두 단백질의 분리를 통 해 운전 조건들이 분리에 미치는 영향을 조사하였 다. 매 실험마다 pH, 전기전도도, uv 흉광도 (280nm) 등을 측정하였고 시료의 순도는 SDS­P PAGE 분석을 통해 점검하였다. Tris와 boric acid로 처리한 대두단백질 추출액에 g glutamic acid, histidine, argmme, glycine 등 아 미노산 각 ImM과 dipeptide로 glycyl-glycine 2mM, 배경 전해액으로서 KCI ImM로 구성된 시료 의 완충액을 혼합하여 시료로 사용하였다. 분리막을 셀룰로오스 아세테이트를 사용할 경우 pH는 양극쪽에서 3, 음극쪽에서 8 정도의 값을 보였으며 2개의 변곡점을 나타내었다. 가해준 전압은 3 300V에서 lOOOV의 범위였으며 전압이 높을수록 더 나은 분리도를 얻었으나 전압을 더 높일 경우 과도한 Joule열의 발생으로 인해 한계가 있었다. 시간이 지남에 따라 단백질들은 분리조 중앙 부근에서 집속이 일어났으며 pH와 전기전도도의 변화로부터 분리 조내의 이온들이 막을 통해 전극쪽으로 이통해 가고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 완충용액의 농도를 5배로 증 가시킬 경우 300V에서 좋은 집속을 얻었으냐 10배 이상으로 농도를 높일 경우에는 분리조 입구와 출구 의 유체 온도차가 $25^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되어 단백질의 변성 이 일어날 수 있어 더 높일 수 없었다. 이온교환막을 사용할 경우 이온의 분극화현상을 일으켜 U자 형태 의 전기전도도 분포를 나타내었다. 아미노산 혼합물 대신 상용의 ampholyte를 사용하더라도 분리도에 있어 큰 차이가 없었다.
