The effects of enzymatic modification with pepsin and actinidin was studied on molecular weight distributions and functional properties of hydrolysates from soy protein isolate (SPI) differing in degree of hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed SPI by pepsin showed 41.5% degree of hydrolysis after 5 min, and maximum hydrolysis was obtained after 2 hours. Actinidin hydrolyzed SPI 26.71% degree after 1 hour. On SDS-PAGE, native SPI showed 9 distinguishable bands on SDS-PAGE gel. Pepsin treated SPI showed one broad band in the lower part of gel. This band was shifted further to the bottom of the gel and became faint as hydrolysis time increased. While actinidin treated SPI showed different SDS-PAGE pattern from pepsin. However PAGE patterns were similar with pepsin and actinidin treated groups. With pepsin treatment, solubility of SPI distinctively increased around isoelectric point(pI). Emulsifying activity (EA) and emulsifying stability (ES) showed marked increase over pH range of $3.0{\sim}8.0$. 5 min modified group had most excellent foam expansion (FE). Foam stability (FS) was increased as pepsin treatment time increased at pI. With actinidin treatment, solubility was increased. 60 min modified SPI had the most effective EA at pH 4.5. However ES was not effected by actinidin treatment. 5 min modified group was most effect in FE. FS was higher at alkaline pH.

We were investigated the cognitive ability enhancement in rats using B. mori fibroin molecular controlled hydrolysate by preparative recycle HPLC system. Also, some of its physicochemical properties and free amino acid components were investigated, too. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum are measured different pattern between high (HF) and low (LF) molecular controlled B. mori fibroin samples, respectively. The in vitro test by neuron primary cell culture are showed dependent on molecular weight (Mw) of B. mori fibroin in the order of LF > MF > HF, too. However, the memorial effects in rats by in vivo test are large dependent molecular weight on that maximum 50% than control. Also, the memorial effect was higher than the enzymatic relative and acid hydrolysate, which was 50.0$\pm$2.1 and 25.9$\pm$0.32%, respectively.

다이아몬드 합성시 질소 첨가는 Cn 화합물의 합성가능성을 비롯하여 다이아몬드의 질소 도핑, 성장 속도 및 결정성 변화 등 다양한 관점에서 중요한 의미를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다이아몬드의 일반적인 합성조건에서 질소를 첨가하여 합성된 막의 형상 및 상 변화에 대해 고찰하였다. 막은 다이아몬드 전처리시킨 Si 기판위에 microwave plasma CVD 장치를 이용하여 합성하였다. 유입되는 혼합가스(CH4+H2+N2)에서 N2 첨가량을 0-95%까지 변화시켰다. 이때 CH4 농도는 5%로 고정하였고, 합성온도는 90$0^{\circ}C$-115$0^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켰다. 이와 같이 합성된 막의 표면조직 및 성장 두께를 측정하기 위해 주사전자현미경을 이용하였다. 상의 분석은 Raman, XRD 및 TEM 분석을 이용하였으며, 조성분석을 위해 XPS 및 AES를 사용하였다. 질소 첨가량에 따라 합성된 막은 첨가하지 않은 경우에 다이아몬드 결정에서 시작하여 질소첨가에 따라 결정면이 깨지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 30%, 45%의 경우는 다시 결정면이 나타났다. 다량의 질소가 첨가되었을 때, 다시 결정면을 보이는 다이아몬드가 합성된 것은 매우 흥미로운 결과이다. 한편 질소와 메탄만의 기체하에서는 다시 결정면이 관찰되지 않았다. 이들 상의 구조는 XRD 및 TED 분석을 통해 모두 다이아몬드로 확인되었다. 기체내의 질소의 첨가에 관계없이 고상내에 질소는 확인되지 않았다. 따라서 이방법에 의한 CN 화합물의 합성은 힘든 것으로 보여진다. 이들 실험 결과를 근거로 온도 및 조성에 따른 기체의 열역학적 계산을 통하여 합성거동과의 연관성을 검토하였다. anode는 매우 높은 충전용량을 갖는데 첫 번째 방전시에 Li2O를 생성하여 비가역적 반응을 나타내고 계속되는 충방전 동안 Li-Sn 합금이 생성되어 2차전지의 가역적 반응을 가능하게 한다. SnO2 는 대기중에서 Li 금속보다 안정하기 때문에 전지의 제작 공정 및 사용 면에서 매우 우수한 물질이지만 아직까지 SnO2 구조적 특성과 전지의 충, 방전 특성에 대한 관계의 규명을 위한 정확한 정설은 제시되고 있지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 TFSB anode 물질로써 SnOx박막을 상온에서 여러 전도성 콜렉터 위에 증착하여 그 충, 방전 특성을 보고하였다. 증착된 SnOx박막의 표면은 SEM, AFM으로 분석하였으며 구조의 분석은 XR와 Auger electron spectroscope로 하였다. 충, 방전 특성을 분석하기 위하여 리늄 foil을 대극과 참조 전극으로 하여 EC:DMC=1:1, 1M LiPF6 액체 전해질을 사용한 Half-Cell를 구성하여 100회 이상의 정전류 충, 방전 시험을 행하였다. Half-Cell test 결과 박막의 구조, 콜렉터의 종류 및 Sn/O비에 따라 서로 다른 충, 방전 거동을 나타내었다.다. 거의 없었다. 5mTorr 일 때가 가장 좋았다.수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로, RNA바이러스의 하나인 BVDV의 viral replicon을 이용하여 다양한 종류의 포유동물 세포에 유전자 발현벡터로써 사용할 수 있음으로 post-genomics시대에 다양한 종류의 단백질 기능연구에 맡은 도움이 되리라 기대한다.다양한 기능을 가진 신소재 제조에 있다. 또한 경제적인 측면에서도 고부가 가치의 제품 개발에 따른 새로운 수요 창출과 수익률 향상, 기존의 기능성 안료를 나노(na

In thermal power generation companies, the recycling of refined ash (LOI < 6%) obtained from a PC-firing furnace is beneficial for the companies, e.g., it can be used for making lightweight aggregates. However, ash having a high LOI, which cannot be reused, is still buried in the ground. To obtain refined ash, the re-burning of high-LOI ash (LOI > 6%) in a PC-firing furnace can be an alternative. In this study, a numerical analysis was performed to demonstrate the effects of ash re-burning. An experimental constant value was decided by TGA (thermo-gravimetric analysis), and a DTF (drop-tube furnace) was used in the experiment for calculating the combustion of ash. On the basis of the trajectory of the moving particles of coal and ash, it was concluded that supplying ash near the burner, which is located high above the ground, is appropriate. On the basis of numerical results, it was concluded that an ash supply rate of 6 ton/h is suitable for combustion, without affecting the PC-firing boiler.

Dextran is a generic term for a bacterial exopolysaccharide synthesized from sucrose and composed of chains of D-glucose units connected by ${\alpha}$-1,6-linkages by using dextransucrases. Dextran could be used as vicosifying, stabilizing, emulsifying, gelling, bulking, dietary fiber, prebiotics, and water holding agents. We isolated new strain capable of producing dextran from Korean traditional kimchi and identified as Leuconostoc sp. strain JYY4. Batch fermentation was conducted in bioreactor with a working volume of 3 L. The media was MMY and 15% (w/v) sucrose. Mineral medium consisted of $3.0g\;KH_2PO_4$, $0.01g\;FeSO_4$, $H_2O$, $0.01g\;MnSO_4$, $4H_2O$, $0.2g\;MgSO_4\;7H_2O$, 0.01 g NaCl, $0.05g\;CaCl_2$ per 1 liter deionized water. The pH of media was initially adjusted to 6.0. The inoculation rate was 1.0% (v/v) of the working volume. Temperature was maintained at $28^{\circ}C$. The agitation rate was 100 rpm. The production pattern of dextran was associated with the cell growth. After 24 hr dextran reached its highest concentration of 59.4 g/L. The sucrose was consumed completely after 40 hr. Growth reached stationery phase when sucrose became limiting, regardless of the presence of fructose or mannitol. When the specific growth rate was 0.54 hr-1, utilization averaged 5.8 g/L-hr. The yield and productivity of dextran were 80% and 2.0 g/L-hr, respectively. Dextrans produced by were separated to two different size by an alcohol fraction method. The size of high molecular weight dextran (45% alcohol, v/v), less soluble dextran, was between MW 500,000 and 2,000,000. Soluble dextran (55% alcohol, v/v) was between 70,000 and 150,000. The molecular weight average of total dextran (70% alcohol, v/v) was between 150,000 to 500,000. The enzymatic hydrolyzates of total dextran of ATCC 13146 showed branched dextrans by Penicillium dextranase contained of glucose, isomaltose, isomaltotriose, and isomaltooligosaccharides greater than DP4 (degree of polymerization) that had branch points. Compounds greater than DP4 were branched isomaltooligosaacharides. Hydrolysates by the Lipomyces dextranase produced the same composition of oligosaccharides as those by Penicillin dextranase.

This study was undertaken to investigate the inhibitory effect of prunus fume extracts on the growth of Hep G2 and HeLa cells. Prunus mums was extracted using the following solvents hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, methanol, and hot water. The effect on the growth of each cancer cell line was examined by MTT (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiaeol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, cytotoxicity testing, and microscopic observation. The ethylacetate extracts of Prunus muse at the concentration of 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml exhibited the greatest inhibitory effect on the growth of Hep G2 in the MW assay. In cytotoxicity testing, the treatment of the Hep G2 cells with ethylacetate extracts (1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for 72 hrs) destroyed 75% of the cells, and morphological changes were also observed. futhermore, the hexane extracts of Prunes muse at the concentration of 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml exhibited the greatest inhibitory effect on the growth of HeLa cells in the MTT assay. The treatment of the HeLa cells with the hexane extracts (1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for 72 hrs) resulted in the destruction of 68% of the cells. Fibroblasts were not affected by either ethylacetate or hexane extracts of prunus muse.

This study was performed to examine the cytotoxic effects of the distilled pine-needle extracts against several cancer cell lines. First, cell lines including mice leukemic cancer cell line (L1210), sarcoma 180 and human monocyte-like cancer cells (U937) were tested using XTT methods in uitro. Pine-needle extracts were prepared by pressing the pine needles and distilling it at below 98$^{\circ}C$ and then added to the growth medium in a final dilution of 10, 20, and 40 times. Growth of three kinds of cancer cells was significantly inhibited by more than 50% with the addition of the extracts. Fifty six to seventy six % of inhibition was shown with the 40 times dilution of the extracts. Greater inhibition was achieved with the 20 times dilution (81~90%) and the 10 times dilution (77~89%) of the extracts. Next, other human cancer cell lines including 3 kinds of breast cancer cell lines (T47D, MDA-MB-231 and MW7A) and one hepatoma cell line (SNU-354) were tested with the 20 times dilution of the extract. T47D and MDA-MB-231 cell lines showed lower inhibition (12%) with the addition of the extract. However, MH7A and SNU-354 cell lines showed 64% and 72% inhibition with the extract, respectively. These results suggest that the distilled pine-needle extracts have strong cytotoxic effect on certain cancer cell lines and the intensity of the effect may vary depending on the process of the pine needle.

The sedimentary environment and sediment were surveyed at the West-Northern site of Chagwi-do nearby Jeju Island for the design of the embedded suction anchor system of 10 MW-class floating wave-offshore wind hybrid power generation system. According to the classification scheme of Chough et al.[2002], the echo type of the seismic profiles using the chirp III was classified. As a results, the center and west-northern area of survey site were proved to be type I-3 where subbottom layer with thickness 5~15 m exists under the flat seafloor. On the other hands, the east-southern area were regarded to be type I-1, I-2 and III-1 where seafloor reflection is much stronger than type I-3. Also, the physical tests (unit weight, moisture content, grain size, liquid limit, specific gravity) were performed with samples taken from 8 fixed locations. It is found that the sand (SP), the sand blended with silt (SM) and the mixture of SP-SM are distributed uniformly on the survey area.

Copolyester resins for the coil coating process of aluminium and steel strip were synthesized and their thermal properties, molecular weight and solvent solution characteristics were examined. Copolyesters were obtained by two step reactions. The first step was to prepare bishydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET), bishydroxyneopentyl terephthalate (BHNPT), bishydroxyethyl isophthalate (BHEI), bishydroxyneopentyl sebacate (BHNPS), bishydroxyneopentyl adipicate (BHNPA) and bishydroxyethyl adipicate (BHEA) oligomers by esterification reactions. The second step was the polycondensation reaction utilizing those oligomers to obtain relatively high molecular weight copolyesters (Mw = 30,000~59,000 g/mol) as measured by GPC. These copolyesters were amorphous polymers as shown by DSC without $T_m$ peaks probably due to the kink structure introduced by BHET oligomer and relatively large free volume by bulky BHNPT and BHNPS oligomers. The copolyester samples with half of BHET oligomer substituted by BHNPT while keeping BHEI (0.3 mole) and BHNPS (0.1 mole) ratio constant showed glass transition temperature above $40^{\circ}C$ and good solubility in toluene both at low ($-5^{\circ}C$) temperature and room temperature.

The aim of these experiments was to investigate the effects of oviduct epithelial cells on bovine in vitro fertilization. Oviduct epithelial cell monolayers (OEC) on the 4-well dish were prepared according to general procedures. Monolayers were formed within 5days. The medium for OEC culture (TCM199 with 10% FBS) was replaced with IVF-TALP 2h before each experiment. Macromolecules/proteins from oviductal conditioned medium (OM) were recovered by ultrafiltration, which desalted and concentrated macromolecules greater than 5kDa, and this OM were added to W medium (experiment 1). The cleavage rate in OM+OEC group was significantly higher than in OM group (p〈0.01). In this experiment 2, oocytes were inseminated on OEC with sperm which had been pre-incubated with OEC for 0 or 4h before insemination. In this experiment, oocytes were exposed to sperm only 8 h for clarifying the effect. After insemination, oocytes were cultured in CRlaa. At 42 h post insemination, oocytes were denuded and examined for evidence of cleavage. The cleavage rates of oocytes which were inseminated with OEC treated sperm for 4 h were significantly higher than those of the other group (p〈0.01). In conclusion, sperm released from OEC have more fertilizing ability than those before attachment.
