Cr (Ⅵ) - containing compounds are well-established carcinogens, although the mechanism for chromium - induced carcinogenesis is still not well understood. The reduction of Cr (Ⅵ) to its lower oxidation states, par ticularly Cr (V) and Cr (IV), is an important step for the production of chromium-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS). The persistent oxidative stress during the reduction process may play a key role in the mechanism of Cr (Ⅵ) -induced carcinogenesis. This paper summarizes recent studies on (1) the reduction of Cr (Ⅵ) to Cr (III) occur by a multiplicity of mechanisms depending on the nature of reducing agents including ascorbate, diol-and thiol-containing molecules, certain flavoenzymes, cell organelles, intact cells, and whole animals; (2) free-radical production with emphasis on hydroxy radical generation via Fenton or Haber-Weiss type reactions; and (3) free radical - induced cellular damage, such at DNA strand breaks, hydroxylation of 2'-deoxyguanosine, and activation of nuclear transcription factor kB.

Solid-state mechanochemical reduction combined with subsequent melting consolidation was suggested as a technical option for the oxide reduction in pyroprocessing. Ni ingot was produced from NiO as a starting material through this technique while Li metal was used as a reducing agent. To determine the technical feasibility of this approach for pyroprocessing, which handles spent nuclear fuels, thermodynamic calculations of the phase stabilities of various metal oxides of U and other fission elements were made when several alkaline and alkali-earth metals were used as reducing agents. This technique is expected to be beneficial, not only for oxide reduction but also for other unit processes involved in pyroprocessing.

Ag powder was prepared from $AgNO_3$ by wet chemical reduction method using various reduction agent system involving $AgNO_3$, $AgNO_2$(AgCl) and Ag complex ion aqueous solution. The pure Ag powder could be prepared regardless of reaction system but the particle shape and distribution were affected very much according to the kind of reduction agents and reaction systems. The optimum reaction system for the preparation of the silver powder having the uniform particle shape and size distribution was Ag complex ion aqueous solution-reduction agent system and in particular, $H_2O_2$ and $C_6H_8O_6$as a reduction agent leaded the more uniform particle shape and size distribution.

마이크로파 가열 공정에 의하여 스테인레스강 제조시의 발생하는 분진의 환원거동올 환원제로서 코크스와 목탄을 이용하여 조사하였다. 원래 상태의 펠릿 분진과 환원제로서, 펠릿을 만든 분진을 마이크로파 가열오븐 내에서 $1000^{\circ}C$까지 가열하여 환원시켰다. 코크스에 비하여 목탄의 경우가 더 높은 환원율율을 나타내었다. 마이크로파 오븐에서 500W와 700W의 사용한 경우 유사한 환원율을 나타냈으며 200분 이내에 급속하게 환원되였다. 환원정도는 Fe>Ni>Cr로 감소되었다.

Enantioselective synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (1) via asymmetric reduction of 1-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (2) and the corresponding iminium salts (3) with the selected chiral hydride reagents, such as K glucoride (5), Itsuno's reagent (6), and Mosher's reagent (7) were examined. In these reactions, dihydroisoquinolines were not reduced by the hydride reagents, whereas the iminium salts were easily reduced under the same reaction conditions found in successful reduction of ketones. Thus, the reduction of 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolium iodide(3a) with 5, 6 and 7 provided the product 1a with 52.3 % ee, 18 % ee, and 66.4 % ee, respectively. For 1-benzyl derivatives (3b-3d), syntheses of 1b-1d with 0.7-6.2 % ee, 5.9-21 % ee, and 1.4-2.7 % ee were achieved with chiral reducing agents 5, 6 and 7, respectively. For 1-aryl derivatives, use of 5, 6 and 7 resulted in optical inductions in the range of 25.2-43 % ee, 13-21.1 % ee, and 6.3-16 % ee, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish the acceptable intraoral application time of antiseptic agents and evaluate the effect of mechanical irrigation. Methods: A total of 80 subjects were selected for this study. Saliva secreted at the resting state was taken. The subjects were divided into 8 experimental groups, and kept 10% povidone-iodine (PVI) or 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) for 20 or 40 seconds in their oral cavity with/without irrigation of the oral cavity with sterilized normal saline, respectively. Then, the saliva was taken and diluted with phosphate buffered saline and then plated onto 5% sheep blood agar plates, which were incubated. Colony forming unit (CFU) was measured for the salivary bacterial counts. Results: After application of PVI and CHX, all the experimental groups showed statistically significant decrease in CFU (P<0.01). Group 2 (PVI, 40 s) showed more significant reduction rate in CFU than group 4 (CHX, 40 s; P<0.01). Group 6 (PVI, 40 s, irrigated) showed more significant reduction rate than group 2 (PVI, 40 s; P<0.01). Group 2 (PVI, 40 s) showed more significant reduction rate than group 1 (PVI, 20 s; P<0.01). Conclusion: Application of PVI for 40 seconds and mechanical irrigation with sterilized normal saline showed the best result among the 8 groups in terms of the reduction rate of salivary bacterial counts.

화학환원법을 이용하여 폐동분 수용액에 환원제인 hydrazine을 첨가하여 $0.11{\sim}0.64{\mu}m$ 크기의 Cu 미립자를 제조하였으며, 이 과정 중 hydrazine의 첨가량이 얻어진 분말의 물성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 분말합성 과정 중 분산제인 polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) 또는 polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP) 첨가가 분말의 물성에 미치는 영향도 조사하였다. 1 M 농도의 폐동분 수용액에 hydrazine이 0.8 mol, 1.0 mol 첨가된 경우에는 Cu와 $Cu_2O$의 혼합물을 나타내어 순수한 Cu 분말을 생성하지 못했다. 반면 적당량의 hydrazine(1.2 mol)이 첨가된 경우에는 순수한 Cu 분말이 생성되었다. 또한 얻어진 Cu 분말의 평균크기는 hydrazine과 분산제의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 한편 분말의 응집을 억제하는 분산제로서 PVA의 사용이 PVP 보다 더욱 효과적이었다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of bulking agents including cow manure, saw dust and rice straw in the ripening of leather sludge for vermistabilization. The changes of the waste properties for ripening time for 50 days were observed according to the various mixture ratios of leather sludge and bulking agents. The pH values of the mixture wastes were decreased from 7.5-8.0 to 6.4-7.3 with the ripening time for 50 days, and it was indifferent of the mixture ratio and type of the bulking agent. The initial value of oxidation-reduction potential(Eh) of the mixture waste was a negative(-)value indicating an unfavorable condition for earthworm life, but the values of Eh were increased with the ripening time. The increase rate of Eh value was proportional to the mixture ratio of bulking agents, but the increase rate for saw dust was higher than that of the cow manure and the rice straw. The value of alkalinity was also changed into the favorable range for earthworm after 50 days except for 10% of the mixture ratio of the bulking agents. When the mixture ratios of the bulking agents were increased from 10% to 40%, the growth characteristics of earthworms were increased from 31.7% to 95% for the survival rate, 103% to 225% for the liveweight increase rate and 32% to 91% for hatching rate of the cocoons. It can be concluded that the proper content of the bulking agents in the leather sludge to ensure effective vermistabilization was over 30%, when the mixture was ripened during 50 days. The contents of heavy metals in the ripened sludge were lower than the other regulatory standards for compost.

본 연구는 한국을 사례로 청정개발체제 프로젝트 활동을 기업 수준의 산업 활동 관점에서 분석하였다. 한국 청정개발체제 산업에서 프로젝트 수행에 직접적으로 연관된 주요 행위자와 네트워크를 형성하는 주변 행위자를 도출하고, 이들 행위자 사이의 연계의 유형과 특성을 분석하여 한국 청정개발체제 산업 전체의 네트워크를 도출하였다. 한국 청정개발체제 산업 활동은 사업주가 되는 프로젝트 수행기업을 중심으로 컨설팅 기업과 검인증 기관이 연계를 가지는 지식기반 생산자 서비스 연계 형태로 수행되었다. 수행 기업 사이에서는 주로 온실가스 감축 활동을 수행하기 위한 기술적 지식이 연계 요인으로 작용하였고, 수행기업과 컨설팅 기업 사이에서는 주로 프로젝트를 설계하고 등록하는 과정에서 필요한 운영 지식이 연계 요인으로 작용하였다. 그리고 수행기업과 검인증 기관 사이의 연계에는 다양한 사회적 지리적 근접성이 영향을 미쳤다. 산업 분야와 신 재생에너지 분야의 수행 프로젝트에서 행위자 사이의 연계 유형과 특성이 다르게 나타났는데, 이는 연계의 매개가 되는 지식의 가치 차이에 기인한다. 수행기업 관점에서 대체 불가능한 중요한 지식을 가지고 있는 행위자는 탄소배출권 지분을 공유하는 또 다른 수행기업이 되었고, 그렇지 못한 행위자는 서비스 용역과 설비를 공급하는 아웃 소싱 공급자가 되었다.
