This study provides evidence that RecG regulates the expression of the OxyR-independent gene mexA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. A reduction in mexA expression was observed in the absence of RecG, but not OxyR, by northern blot and quantitative real-time PCR analyses. The canonical palindromic RecG binding sequence was present upstream of the mexA promoter, and bound purified RecG and single strand-binding protein. These data reveal a novel mechanism of OxyR-independent gene transcription by RecG.

Future power plants will be required to adopt some type of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to reduce their CO2 emissions. One of distinguished CCS techniques expected to resolve the green house effect is to apply the oxy-fuel combustion technique to power plant, and a lot of research/demonstration programs have been going on in the world. In this paper, CO2-capturing power plants based on gas turbine and oxy-fuel combustion are investigated over several types of configurations. As a prior step, simulation model for 500 MW-class combined cycle power plant was set and was used as a reference case. The efficiencies of several power plants was compared and the advantages and disadvanteges was investigated.

In recent years, the usage of fossil fuels has caused problems of climate change and global warming. Because the combustion of fossil fuels is related to the production of greenhouse gases ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, etc.), new technology in the field of combustion is needed in order to handle the crisis of climate change and the global warming. As one of the efforts to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, the concept of regenerative oxy-fuel combustion for energy efficiency and carbon capture was suggested, In the current study, the development of an industrial regenerative oxy-fuel combustion furnace was introduced, which has been being performed at Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER).

The Wittig-oxy-Cope rearrangements of deprotonated diallyl ether, I, $CH_2={\bar{C}}H-CH-O-CH_2-CH=CH_2$, have been investigated theoretically by the AM1 method. A two step mechanism forming a Wittig product ion, II, $(CH_2=CH)$ $(CH_2=CH-CH_2)$ $CHO^-$, through a radical-pair intermediate was found to provide the most favored reaction pathway in the Wittig rearrangement. The subsequent oxy-Cope rearrangement from species II also involves a two step mechanism through a biradicaloid intermediate. The intramolecular proton transfer in I (to form $CH_2=CH-CH_2-O-{\bar{C}}H-CH=CH_2$) is a higher activation energy barrier process compared to the Wittig and oxy-Cope rearrangements and is considered to be insignificant. These results are in good agreement with the condensed-phase as well as gas-phase experimental results.

Ethyl (coumarin-4-oxy)acetate 1 was prepared through the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with ethyl bromoacetate. Compound 1 was allowed to react with hydrazine hydrate to produce coumarin-4-oxyacetic hydrazide 2. The synthesis of N-(arylidene and alkylidene)-coumarin-4-oxyacetic hydrazones 3-20 was performed. The preparation of 2-substituted-3-[(coumarin-4-oxy) acetamido]thiazolidinones 21-26 and 2-[(coumarin-4-oxy )methyl]-4-acetyl-5-substituted-$\Delta^2$-1,3,4-oxadiazolines 27-33 was performed by the reaction of the hydrazones 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14 with mercaptoacetic acid and the hydrazones 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 15, 16 with acetic anhydride, respectively. The antiviral activities, cytotoxicities and structure-activity relationship (SAR) towards different microorganisms of the prepared compounds were studied.

Algal fucoidan is a marine polysaccharide containing sulfur with a wide variety of biological activities including anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects. Although antioxidants can inhibit inflammatory signals through inhibiting activator protein-1 and/or nuclear factor-kappaB activation, it is obscure whether fucoidan directly scavenges oxy-radicals or indirectly regulates oxidant production and/or antioxidant defense system. The antioxidant activities of fucoidan against peroxyl radicals, peroxynitrites and hydroxyl radicals were determined by the total oxy-radical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay. The specific TOSC values of fucoidan against peroxyl radicals, peroxynitrites or hydroxyl radicals were $282{\pm}60$, $43{\pm}1$ or $40{\pm}1\;TOSC/mg/mL$, respectively. These specific TOSC values against peroxyl radicals, peroxynitrites or hydroxyl radicals are 23, 12, or 13% of the specific TOSC values of glutathione, a positive control, respectively. These results suggest that fucoidan has direct oxy-radical scavenging capacity, which may be related with anti-inflammatory effect of fucoidan.

온실가스의 증가로 인한 기후변화가 큰 이슈로 대두되고 있는 시점에서 순산소발전 실증사업은 화석에너지를 이용한 발전 부문의 이산화탄소 저감을 위한 한 가지 방안으로 주목을 받고 있다. 순산소발전 실증사업으로 인해 발생하는 전력공급 편익, 온실가스 저감 편익, 환경오염 물질 배출저감 편익, 국내외 시장 진출로 인한 부가가치 창출편익을 추정한다. 이러한 배경 하에서 내부수익률, 편익/비용 비율, 순현재가치의 기준을 이용하여 순산소발전 실증사업의 경제적 타당성을 분석하고자 한다. 순산소발전 실증사업의 경제적 타당성을 분석한 결과, 순산소발전 실증사업의 순현재가치, 편익/비용 비율, 내부수익률은 각각 681,620백만원, 1.69, 21.4%로 분석되었다. 이 분석결과들은 각각 0, 1.0, 5.5%를 초과하므로, 3가지 경제성 판단 지표 모두 본 사업이 경제적 타당성을 확보함을 의미한다. 이러한 분석 결과는 화력발전부문의 온실가스 저감을 위한 정책결정에 있어서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

본 연구는 상온에서 산소절단기로 철근의 절단시 절단부위로 부터의 고온수열범위와 수열온도를 측정하고 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교함으로써 현장에서 산소절단기를 사용한 철근절단의 가능성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 산소절단기로 철근을 절단하는 경우 절단 부위로부터 1 cm 떨어진 위치의 수열온도는 $700^{\circ}C{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$의 범위에 있으나, 절단부위로부터 2cm떨어진 위치의 수열온도는 200$^{\circ}C$를 넘지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 2 각 직경, 종류별로 철근의 수열온도 분포를 시뮬레이션한 결과 산소 절단시험와 유사한 절단 거리에 따른 온도 분포를 보임으로서 철근 절단 거리에서 2cm 정도의 여유를 갖고 절단할 경우에는 고온 수열에 따른 취성변화가 발생되지 않는다.

An opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, contains the major catalase KatA, which is required to cope with oxidative and osmotic stresses. As an attempt to uncover the $H_2O_2$-dependent regulatory mechanism delineating katA gene expression, four prototrophic $H_2O_2$-sensitive mutants were isolated from about 1,500 TnphoA mutant clones of P. aeruginosa strain PA14. Arbitrary PCR and direct cloning of the transposon insertion sites revealed that one insertion is located within the katA coding region and two are within the coding region of oxyR, which is responsible for transcriptional activation of several antioxidant enzyme genes in response to oxidative challenges. The fourth insertion was within PA3815 (IscR), which encodes a homolog of the Escherichia coli iron-sulfur assembly regulator, IscR. The levels of catalase and SOD activities were significantly reduced in the iscR mutant, but not in the oxyR mutant, during the normal planktonic culture conditions. These results suggest that both IscR and OxyR are required for the optimal resistance to $H_2O_2$, which involves the expression of multiple antioxidant enzymes including KatA.
