This study was Performed to investigate the effect of kimchi intake on antiaging characteristics in the brain of senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM) in terms of free radical production and anti-oxidative enzymes. Two hundreds twenty SAM (20 mice) were divided into four groups and fed kimchi diet for 12 months. Experimental groups were kimchi free AIN-76 diet (control) group, Korean cabbage kimchi diet (KCK)group, 30% mustard leaf added Korean cabbage kimchi diet (MKCK) group, and mustard leaf kimchi diet (MLK) group. Concentrations of total free radical, OH radical and $H_2O_2$ of control group increased up to 123%, 262% and 174% of initial value (p<0.05) after one year. Increase in free radical production in kimchi groups due to aging was decreased by kimchi feeding. Among kimchi groups. MKCK and MLK groups showed greater inhibiting effect against free radical production than KCK. The concentration of TBARS in the bruin of control group also significantly increased up to 362% of initial value as aged (p<0.05) and production of TBARS in kimchi groups were decreased. When the activities of Cu, Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, GSH-px and catalase of kimchi groups were compared to those of control at the same experimental period, anti-oxidative enzyme activities of kimchi groups were lower than those of control (p<0.05). But GSH/GSSG in kimchi groups were higher compared to control. In conclusion, decrease in free radical production and increase in anti-oxidative enzyme activities were observed from kimchi groups suggesting that kimchi might have important role on retarding aging. Among kimchi variety tested in this experiment, MKCK and MLK seem to have greater effect on inhibiting free radical production and increasing anti-oxidative enzyme activities than KCK.

The Narim gold mine is located approimately 200km southeast of Seoul within the Muju mineralized district of the Sobaegsan gneiss complex, Korea. Environmental geochemistry were undertaken for various kinds of water (surface, ground and mine water) collected of April, September and November in 1998 from the narim mine creek. Hydrogeochemical compositions of water samples are characterized by the relatively significant enrichment of Na+K, alkali ions, $HCO_{3}$, $NO_{3}$, Cl and F in groundwater, wheras the mine and surface waters are relatively enriched in Ca+Mg, hea표 metals and $SO_{4}$. Therefore, the groundwaters belong to the (Na+Ca)-( $HCO_{3}+SO_{4}$) type, respectively. The pH and EC values of the non-mining creek surfers are relatively lower compared with those of the surface water of the mine and ore dump area. The d values ($\delta$D-8$\delta^{18}$O) of all kinds of water from the Narim mine creek are 5.8 to 13.1 The range of $\delta$D and $\delta^{18}$O values (relative to SMOW) are shown in distinct two groups as follows: for the April waters of -64.8 to -67.8$\textperthousand$ and -9.6 to -10.0$\textperthousand$(d value=10.1 to 13.1), and for the November waters of -65.9 to -70.2$\textperthousand$ and -9.3 to -9.6$\textperthousand$ (d value=5.8 to 7.9), respectively. This range variation indicates that two group water were composed of distinct waters with seasonal difference. Geochemical modeling showed that mostly toxic metals (As, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) may exist largery in the from of metal $(M2^+)$ and metal-sulfate $(MSO_4\;^{2-$\mid$),\; and \;SO_4^{2-$\mid$}$ concentration influenced the speciation of heavy metals in the meteoric water. These metals in the groundwater could be formed of $CO_3 \;and \;(OH)_3$ complex ions. Using computer program, saturation index of albite, calcite, dolomite in meteoric water show undersaturated and progreddively evolved toward the saturation state, however, ground and mine water are nearly saturated. The gibbsited water-mineral reaction and stabilities suggest that the weathering of silicate minerals may be stable kaolinite, illite and Nasmectite. The clay minerals will be transformed to more stable kaolinite owing to the contiunous reaction.

최근에 유연한 성질을 갖는 전자기기들의 수요가 증가하면서, 그에 따라서 유연 전자기기를 뒷받침 해줄 수 있는 에너지 저장체의 유연한 성질도 중요성이 점점 부각되고 있으며 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 유연한 에너지 저장체의 많은 연구들이 유연한 금속 박막이나 특수 공정처리가 필요한 고분자를 이용하고 있으나, 대부분의 유연 에너지 소자들은 에너지 저장체의 성능에 비해 고온과 산 약품과 같은 환경이 필요하며, 비용과 시간이 많이 소모되고 있다. 그에 반해 섬유는 앞에서와 같이 특수 공정 처리가 따로 필요하지 않으며 상온에서도 손 쉽게 이용 가능하며, 신축성이 뛰어난 장점이 있기 때문에 효율적, 비용적으로 유연한 에너지 저장체에 유리한 소재이다. 몸에 해로운 산과 같은 약품처리의 필요도 없으며, 용매를 흡수하는 능력이 뛰어나기 때문에 용매를 이용한 도포 방법을 사용하면 다양한 물질을 폭넓게 적용 가능하다. 그리고 적용 분야에 맞춰서 섬유의 종류를 조절하면 다양한 성질을 갖는 천 기반의 에너지 저장체가 형성되며, 면 섬유가 수소 결합과 높은 반데르 발스 결합에 의해 탄소나노튜브와 결합하여 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖는 에너지 저장체를 형성하는 것을 분석한 논문들도 보고되고 있다. 면 섬유의 특수한 성질을 이용하여 에너지 저장체를 제작하고 이를 확인하기 위해서 일반 합성 섬유인 polyester와 면 섬유를 비교 제작하였으며, 용매의 형태로 손쉽게 도포 가능한 물질은 탄소 계열의 활물질들이며, 탄소 나노 튜브나 그래핀 등이 분산된 용액을 이용해 천에 도포 가능하다. 탄소 계열의 활물질들은 대표적인 슈퍼캐패시터 물질이며, 천에 도포를 함으로써 천 기반의 슈퍼캐패시터를 제작하였다. 일반 합성 섬유 polyester와 CNT를 결합한 형태의 전극은 최대 에너지 축전 용량(Maximum specific capacitance)이 53.6 F/g으로 나타났으며, 면 섬유와 CNT를 결합한 형태의 전극은 최대 에너지 축전 용량이 122.1 F/g으로 나타났다. 따라서 면 섬유에서 높은 에너지 저장 능력을 보이는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였으며, 에너지 저장 능력이 뛰어난 면 섬유를 다음 전극 디자인에서도 일률적으로 적용하였다. 슈도캐패시터의 대표적 물질인 금속 산화물인 망간 산화물(MnO2)을 3전극 도금 시스템을 이용하여 에너지 축전 용량과 에너지 밀도를 올리는 전극을 제작하였다. 특히 망간 산화물의 형태는 표면적을 극대화하기 위해서 평균 지름은 200~300 nm 정도 되는 나노 입자의 형태로 제작하였다. 그 결과, 확연하게 에너지 축전 용량이 향상되었으며, 최대 에너지 축전 용량은 282.0 F/g, 에너지전력 밀도는 14.2 Wh/kg으로 나타나서 금속 산화물의 형태가 주는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 나노 입자의 형태로 제작된 금속 산화물은 문제점이 발생하였다. 금속 산화물의 전기 전도성이 매우 낮기 때문에, 전기 전도성에 비례해서 전력 밀도의 값이 표현되는데, 전기 전도성이 급격히 감소하기 때문에 전력 밀도도 급격한 감소가 나타난다. 다음과 같이 전기 전도성 물질을 첨가하는 방법은 추가의 공정이 필요한 단점이 있지만 오직 기계적인 인장응력만을 가해서 에너지 밀도와 전력 밀도를 증가시키는 전극을 제작하였다. 인장응력을 섬유 기반의 전극에 가했을 시에 가닥들간의 접촉 증가와 CNT가 정렬되면서 특정 변형률(strain) 이전에서는 전기 전도성이 최대 50% 이상 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 선행 연구에서 보고되었다. 이를 이용해서 전기 전도성과 직결되는 전력 밀도의 양도 증가시키고 에너지 밀도의 증가 여부까지 확인한 결과 인장을 가하기 전 면 섬유의 전력 밀도와 에너지 밀도는 6.4 kW/kg and 6.1 Wh/kg으로 나타났으나 30% 변형 인장 후에는11.4 kW/kg과 7.1 Wh/kg으로 나타났다. 그리고 망간 산화물을 첨가한 전극 역시 4.9 kW/kg과 14.2 Wh/kg으로 나타났었으나 인장 이후 전력 밀도는 14.2 kW/kg, 에너지 밀도는 17.6 Wh/kg으로 확연하게 증가한 것을 확인하였다.

To study the cause of physiological disorder in leaf of ginseng cultivated at paddy soil, the degree of brown-colored symptom (BCS) and the contents of inorganic matter in leaf were investigated by irrigating the solution of ferric and ferrous iron of 0.1 ~ 2.0%, and citric acid of 1.0 ~ 4.0% on bed soil, respectively. Ratio of BCS by variety was as high as 85.0% in Yoenpoong, while it was as low as 5.4%, 7.5% in Chunpoong and Hwangsook, respectively. The contents of inorganic matter of leaf in Yoenpoong were lower in $P_2O_5$, Ca, and Mg, while it were higher in K, Fe, and Mn than other variety. Iron solution caused BCS more distinctly when each ferric and ferrous iron were dissolved with 1.0% citric acid than when each iron was dissolved without citric acid. Ferric iron caused BCS more effectively than ferrous iron. BCS occurred in 4.0% citric acid was as same as 2.0% ferric iron mixed with 1.0% citric acid. Low $P_2O_5$ and high Fe content in leaf appeared in both of artificial and natural symptoms. We concluded that excessive Fe uptake caused BCS to leaf because the solubility of iron was increased in condition of low soil pH.

기계적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 변환하는 에너지 변환소자인 압전 세라믹스는 액추에이터, 변압기, 초음파모터 및 각종 센서로 응용되고 있으며, 그 응용분야는 크게 증가하고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 압전 소자를 앞으로 도래하는 ubiquitous, 무선 모바일 시대의 휴대용 전자제품, robotics 등의 분야에 적용하기 위하여 소형화 및 경량화를 구현하고자 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 압전 특성이 우수한 PNN-PMN-PZT 삼원계 세라믹을 이용하여 압전 트랜스포머를 제작하고 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 압전트랜스포머는 전왜-압전효과를 이용한 소전력용 고전압발생소자로서 종래의 권선형 트랜스포머에 비교해서 소형, 경량이면서 승압비가 높고 구조가 간단하므로 직류 고전압전원에 응용되고 있다. 압전트랜스의 이론적인 고찰은 Rosen 이후로 많은 연구자들에 의해서 보고되었다. 그런데 압전세라믹트랜스는 공진 시 강력한 에너지변환을 하기 때문에 재료의 물리적 특성이 매우 중요함에도 불구하고, 이러한 물리적 특성에 관한 연구는 거의 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물리적 특성과 전기적 특성의 상호 연관성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 압전트랜스용 재료는 전기기계결합계수($k_p$)와 기계적품질계수(Qm)가 높아야 한다. 전기기계결합계수를 높이기 위해서는 상경계 조성의 Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$[PZT]계 세라믹스가 가장 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 품질계수를 향상시키기 위해서 $Pb(Nn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.06+x}(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.065-x}(Zr_{0.48}Ti_{0.52})_{0.875}0_3$계의 조성을 설계하여 압전특성을 평가하고 미세구조를 분석하였다. 또한 압전트랜스를 제작하여 입출력의 승압비 및 주파수 특성 등도 평가하였다.

To find out the influence of mineral nutritions and phosphorus concentration to ferrous absorption of rice and barley plants were studied in the culture solution which has various levels of ferrous and phosphorus with deficiency of mineral nuritiont. The ferrous absorption of rice and barley plants were greatly affected by phosphorus and potassium in the culture solution among mineral nutritions. The ferrous absorption was decreased with the increasing of phosphorus concentration. The rate of ferrous translocation was higher in barley plant than that of rice plant. And also, the symptoms of ferrous toxicity occurred easily in the barley plant. From these results, it was concluded that the ferrous was more influential upon the growth of barley than that of rice.

The influences of inoculum size, pH, and medium composition on mycelial growth and exopolysaccharides (EPS) production were investigated in shake flasks and in a bioreactor. The optimum inoculum size for both mycelial growth and EPS production was identified to be 10% (v/v) in shake flask cultures. The optimal initial pH for mycelial growth and EPS production in shake flask cultures were found to be 5.0 and 7.0, respectively. However, the optimal pH was 5.0 for both mycelial growth and EPS production in bioreactor cultures where the pH was regulated. The optimal mass ratio of the two major carbon sources, glucose to dextrin, was 1:4. The optimal mass ratio of the two major nitrogen sources, yeast extract to soy tone peptone, was 2:1. When 500 mg $1^{-1}$ of $MnSO_4-5H_2O$ was added to the bioreactor culture, both mycelial growth and EPS production were enhanced by approximately 10%. Under the optimized conditions, a mycelial biomass of 9.85 g $1^{-1}$ and an EPS concentration of 4.92 g $1^{-1}$ were obtained in 4 days.

Polymer bonded metalloporphyrins are synthesized by reaction between Fe(III) protoporphyrin or Mn(II) tetrakis(4-N-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin with polystyrene divinylbenzene copolymer. The spectroscopic properties of synthetic polymer bonded metalloporphyrins are investigated by using resonance Raman spectrometer. By synthetic polymer bonded metalloporphyrins as catalyst, which are model of cytochrome P-450 and peroxidases, epoxidation of olefins and oxidation of alkanes are achieved with H2O2 as oxidant. The catalytic efficiencies with polymer bonded metalloporphyrins are improved on that with corresponding nonpolymer bonded metalloporphyrins. Especially those can be reused because of stability against oxidant. Electron donating imidazole derivatives, which are attached in 5th position of central metal of metalloporphyrins, enhance the catalytic efficiencies.

A study was conducted to determine the safety of feeding processed broiler litter (BL) to beef cattle. The litter was processed by deepstacking, ensiling and composting. The health issues addressed relevant to the safety of feeding litter included pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxins, heavy metals, medicinal drugs and pesticide residues. Exp. 1 evaluated the feed hygiene of processed rice hulls-bedded BL. The presence of pathogenic bacteria in BL was determined before and after deepstacking. A total of 21 BL samples were collected over a 3-year period of commercial and experimental production of BL for beef cattle. Exp. 2 evaluated the safety of meat of cattle fed deepstacked BL. In Exp. 1, there were no pathogenic bacteria, such as coliform, E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria and Proteus, in deepstacked BL. Levels of heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) and toxic heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd and Hg) were lower than the commercial feed tolerances. Aflatoxin, medicinal drug and pesticide residues were detected at extremely low levels. In Exp. 2, the meat of the BL-fed animals exhibited few differences in all analyzed items from that of the control group, showing safety from pathogenic microorganisms and heavy metals. When BL was withdrawn for 14 days prior to slaughtering the BLfed cattle, no medicinal drug residues were detected in the meat. Pesticides in the tissues of either group of animals were much lower than the tolerances. In conclusion, processed rice hulls-bedded BL and the meat of cattle fed BL were safe from the potential hazards of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals, aflatoxin, medicinal drugs and pesticide residues.

1.5 V and 3.0 V-class film-type primary batteries were designed for radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Efficient fabrication processes such as screen-printings of conducting layer ($25{\mu}m$), active material layer ($40{\mu}m$ for anode and $80{\mu}m$ for cathode), and electrolyte/separator/electrolyte layer ($100{\mu}m$), were adopted to give better performances of the 1.5 V-class film-type Leclanch$\acute{e}$ primary battery for battery-assisted passive (BAP) RFID tag. Lithium (Li) metal is used as an anode material in a 3.0 V-class film-type $MnO_2||$Li primary battery to increase the operating voltage and discharge capacity for application to active sensor tags of a radio frequency identification system. The fabricated 3.0 V-class film-type Li primary battery passes several safety tests and achieves a discharge capacity of more than 9 mAh $cm^{-2}$.
