Vitex trifolia L. has been used traditionally to treat various illnesses, such as inflammation, headache, migraine, and gastrointestinal infections. We analyzed and evaluated the composition of V. trifolia leaf oil. Based on the results, we isolated abietatriene from V. trifolia leaf oil and investigated the effect of V. trifolia leaf oil and its active compound abietatriene on melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. They significantly decreased melanin contents and melanogenic factors, such as tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, and MITF dose-dependently in both protein and mRNA levels. Protein and mRNA expressions were determined by Western blot analysis and quantitative real time RT-PCR. Findings indicate that V. trifolia leaf oil and abietatriene reduce melanogenesis by regulating the expression of melanogenic factors. These results suggest that V. trifolia leaf oil and abietatriene could comprise a useful therapeutic agent for treating hyperpigmentation and used as effective skin-whitening agents.

경제구조를 표현하는 식들로 구성된 모형을 이용하여 도출되는 정량적 분석결과는 성과의 크기를 제시하므로 정책을 평가할 때에 유용하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 해외석유 가스개발사업의 국민경제에 대한 효과를 정량적으로 측정하기 위하여 해외석유 가스개발사업을 반영한 거시경제모형을 구축하고, 이를 이용하여 해외석유 가스개발사업으로부터의 회수액이 GDP, 경상수지, 실업률, 소비자물가, 환율 등에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 해외석유 가스개발 사업의 회수액은 우리나라 기업이 해외석유 가스개발사업에 참여하여 획득한 석유 또는 가스를 달러 형태로 금액화한 것이다. 해외석유 가스개발사업을 반영한 거시경제모형은 한국은행의 모형(1997, 2004, 2012)을 이용하여 구축하였으며, 개별 행태방정식의 통계적 적합성과 historical simulation을 통해 모형 전체의 안정성을 확인하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 시간이 경과하면서 해외석유 가스개발사업 회수액의 규모가 커지면서 우리 나라의 거시경제 변수에 미치는 효과의 크기도 커졌다. 변수별로 보면 해외석유 가스개발사업은 경상수지, 실질 GDP, 실업률에 대해서 긍정적인 효과를 유도하였다. 이에 비해서 소비자물가에 대해서는 상승하는, 그리고 환율에 대해서는 하락(원화가치의 평가절상)하는 효과를 보였다. 매해마다 효과의 크기는 다르지만, 2011년 기준으로 해외석유 가스개발사업 회수액은 경상수지를 2.226%, 실질 GDP를 0.401% 증가시키고, 실업률을 0.489%p 감소시켰다. 소비자물가는 0.101% 증가시키고, 원/달러환율은 0.379% 낮추었다.

현 정부 출범 이후 에너지 자원 확보를 최우선 국정과제로 설정하고 과감한 투자와 함께 범정부적인 차원의 노력을 기울인 결과, 최근 들어 석유 가스 자주개발률이 큰 폭으로 증가하는 성과를 거두고 있다. 정부는 이러한 모멘텀을 이어갈 수 있도록 석유 자주개발률을 2019년에 25%까지 높여 석유자원의 안정적 공급 능력을 획기적으로 향상시킨다는 목표하에 다양한 지원 방안을 계획하고 있다. 이에 대해 본 연구에서는 정부가 설정한 자주개발률 목표를 달성하기 위한 정부지원금의 규모에 관심을 갖고 이를 계측할 수 있는 경제학적 모형을 설정하고, 이의 실증분석을 통해 개발목표율 설정에 따른 정부지원금의 크기를 추정하였다. 그 결과 2010년의 경우, 자주개발률 7.4% 달성을 위한 정부지원금의 규모는 약 2.68억 달러로 추정되었다. 그러나 국내 원유수요량이 증가해 10.2억 배럴 정도 전망되는 2019년의 경우, 정부지원금은 약 12.47억 달러로 추정되어 현재 수준의 4.7배 증가하는 것으로 나타난다. 그러므로 2019년까지 자주개발 25%의 목표달성을 위해 정부는 해외 석유개발사업에 대한 지원 규모를 대폭 확대하는 방안을 조속히 확정하고, 아울러 자금조달을 위한 단계별 계획을 구체적으로 설정함과 동시에 정부지원의 효율성을 높이기 위하여 현행 지원제도를 검토해 이를 재정비할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서 사후지원제도(事後支援制度)의 하나로 예시하고 있는 자주개발물량에 대해 수입부과금 징수를 유예하는 방안도 고려해 볼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Power transformer insulation oil is critical to the useful life of the transformer. Although mineral base insulation oil is the most common type of transformer insulation oil in use, environmental and safety concerns has encouraged the development of biodegradable alternatives. Today, $Envirotemp^{(R)}\;FR3^{TM}$ is in commercial use and this study is aimed at ascertaining the possibility of applying the oil in Malaysia power transformers. A sample of $Envirotemp^{(R)}\;FR3^{TM}$ was tested to measure and compare the technical (including electrical, chemical and physical) properties of the oil according to Malaysian standards. The study found that the oil sample had better qualities, such as higher dielectric strength, lower dissipation factor, higher flash and fire points, higher moisture absorption capability, and less dissolved gases composition amongst others. However, it was also ascertained that further development in this area could be hindered due to Malaysia's lack of standards for biodegradable oil.

팜유에 유화제인 sucrose fatty acid ester를 첨가하여 유화제 첨가농도의 변화에 따라 나타나는 팜유의 결정화 및 용융화 현상을 DSC를 이용하여 연구하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 유화제가 첨가된 팜유를 냉각할 때, 무첨가군에 비하여 발열 정점 온도가 저하되었다. 이것은 SE가 300ppm까지 첨가된 팜유에서는 모결정 형성이 억제되므로 인해 결정화 온도가 저하된 것이다. 이는 SE의 첨가량이 300ppm까지 증가되는 것과는 관계없이 결정화 단계에서 저융점 결정 형성이 억제되었다. 팜유를 용융할 때 ${\alpha}$형 전이온도 및 entropy의 변화현상은 무첨가군에 비해 SE 첨가군의 경우, scanning rate의 변화에 관계없이 유화제의 분자 분산에 의한 영향으로 불규칙하게 나타났다.

There has been increasing offshore oil exploration, drilling, and production activities, as well as a huge amount of petroleum being transported by tankers and pipelines through the ocean and costal environment. Assessment must be made of the potential risk of damage resulting from the exploration, development and transportation activities. This is achieved through predictive impact evaluations of the fate of hypothetical or real oil spills. VVhen an oil spill occurs, planning and execution of cleanup measures also require the capability to forecast the short-term and long-term behavior of the spilled oil. A great amount of effort has been spent by government agencies, oil industries, and researchers over the past decade to develop more realistic models for oil spills. Numerous oil spill models have been developed and applied, most of which attempt to predict the oil spill fate and behavior. For an actual contingency planning, the oil fate and behavior model should be combined with an oil spill incident model, an environmental impact and risk model and a contingency planning model. The purpose of this review study is to give an overview of existing oil spill models that deal with the physical, chemical, biological, and socia-economical aspects of the incident, fate, and environmental impact of oil spills. After reviewing the existing models, future research needs are suggested. In the study, available oil spill models are separated into oil spill incident, oil spill fate and behavior, environmental impact and risk, and contingency planning models. The processes of the oil spill fate and behavior are reviewed in detail and the characteristics of existing oil spill fate and behavior models are examined and classified so that an ideal model may be identified. Finally, future research needs are discussed.

This experimental study was performed to obtain thermal energy from the combustion of synthetic gas, produced by the pyrolysis of insulating oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in a high temperature and high pressure reactor. The average synthetic gas generated was $59.67Am^3/hr$ via the steady state gasification of insulating oil waste (20 kg/hr) with average concentrations (standard deviation) of $CO_2$, CO, and $H_2$ in the synthetic gas of $38.63{\pm}3.11%$, $35.18{\pm}1.93%$, and $28.42{\pm}1.68%$, respectively. The concentrations of the PCBs in the transformer insulating oil and synthetic gas after its gasification, and the concentrations of the dioxins that could be produced from the incomplete degradation of PCBs were measured. It was revealed that the PCBs in the insulating oil were composed of the series from tetrachlorobiphenyl to octachlorobiphenyl. However, only the #49, #44, #52, and #47/75/48 congeners were detected from the synthetic gas after gasification of the insulating oil and in the flue gas from the combustor. In conclusion, the experimental conditions suggested in this study were very useful for the appropriate treatment of insulating oil containing PCBs. Also, fuel gas containing CO and $H_2$ can be obtained from the pyrolysis of insulating oil containing PCBs.
