Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG1K) and sulfonated PEG (PEG1K-SO$_3$) methacrylate (MA) copolymers have been prepared and characterized. The structures of the synthesized copolymers were confirmed by $^1$H and $^{13}$ C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The bulk characteristics of the copolymers were evaluated by viscosity and thermal analysis. The surface properties of the copolymers were investigated using dynamic contact angle measurements and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. The hydrophilicity of the surfaces modified with PEG1KMA or PEG1K-SO$_3$MA increased, possibly as a result of the orientation of the hydrophilic PEG1KMA/PEG1K-SO$_3$MA chains into the water phase. Platelets adhered less to the surfaces of the copolymers than they did to a polyurethane control. In addition, adhesion of platelets to the copolymer surfaces decreased upon increasing the chain density of PEG1KMA and sulfonated PEG1KMA in the copolymers. Both bacterial adhesion and protein adsorption were significantly reduced on the copolymer surfaces and their levels differ depending on the kind of surface or media.

For this investigation, author isolated Streptococcus mitis strain SD-9 from the bacterial flora in the human dental plaque, which was incubated in brain-heart infusion media containing 5% sucrose at 37℃ for 24 hours. For the cytochemical demonstration of polysaccharide produced by this strain, a modified thiosemicarbazide osmium method (Critchley et al., 1967) was used. After fixation with this reagent, the harvested cells was suspended in 1% agar for the higher concentration of cells(Kellenberger et al., 1964). And they were dehydrated in the various concentration of ethanol, and embedded in Epon 812(Luft, 1961). Sectioning was done with the Sorvall MT-2 Porter Blum ultramicrotome by means of a glass knife, and the sections were stained with saturated uranyl acetate and lead citrate (Raynolds, 1963). All preparations were examined in a electron microscope, Hitachi HU-ll E-1 type. The morphological features of extracellular polysaccharide produced by Streptococcus mitis strain SD-9 were appeared in 3 structurally different forms, those are, electron dense fibrillar material linearly arranged adjacent to the outer surface of cell wall, highly electron dense globular material adjacent to the outer surface of cell wall, and strutureless fluffy meshwork of possible very fine filament.

Objectives: To develop domestic charcoal tubes with good adsorption capacity, breakthrough experiments were performed on four types of activated charcoal. Materials: The adsorption capacity and the adsorption rate were determined using a modified Wheeler equation after the breakthrough experiment. For four types of charcoal (J, K, S and SKC Inc. 226-01), 100 mg were used in the breakthrough experiment. The test was done on benzene, toluene, n-hexane, and acetone in a dynamic chamber. Results: K charcoal had the greatest surface area and the highest micropore volume. J charcoal had a similar surface area and micropore volume to SKC charcoal. S charcoal had the lowest surface area and micropore volume. J charcoal had the highest adsorption capacity at 101, 252 and 609 ppm of benzene. The gap in benzene adsorption capacity among the types of charcoal was the least at 609 ppm and the greatest at 101 ppm. J charcoal showed the highest adsorption capacity at 54, 106, 228 and 508 ppm of toluene. J charcoal and SKC charcoal had a similar adsorption capacity for acetone. J charcoal had the highest adsorption capacity for n-hexane. In the experiment featuring 10% breakthrough volume, 10% breakthrough occurred at 18 liters at $2065.9mg/m^3$ for J charcoal and at 20 liters at $1771.2mg/m^3$ for K charcoal. It was difficult to judge adsorption capacity by surface area and micropore volume of charcoal. J charcoal, which was similar to SKC charcoal in surface area and micropore volume, showed good adsorption capacity at common workplace concentrations. Conclusions: The adsorption capacity of J and K charcoal was superior compared with SKC charcoal. J and K charcoal can be considered appropriate for use as sampling media based on this result.

인삼 (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) 캘러스 조직으로부터 분리한 원형질체를 DMSO가 O％에서 8％까지 여러 가지 농도로 첨가된 원형질체 배양배지 (1 mg/L 2,4-D, 4 mg/L NAA, 1 mg/L BAP, 0.4 M mannitol 및 0.8% agar가 첨가된 MS배지)에서 배양하였다. DMSO가 첨가되지 않은 배지에서 배양된 원형질체의 세포벽 재생률은 약 62%이고 세포분열빈도는 약 7％이었다. 반면에, 1% DMSO가 첨가된 배지에서 배양된 원형질체의 세포벽 재생률과 세포분열빈도는 각각 약 83%와 약 27%로 높게 나타났다. 그러나 배양된 원형질체의 세포활성은 배지에 첨가된 DMSO의 유무나 농도와는 관계없이 모든 배지에서 83∼88%로 차이를 보이지 않았다. 1% DMSO가 첨가된 배지에서 3일 동안 배양된 원형질체를 투과전자현미경으로 관찰하면 원형질막 근처에 평행으로 배열하고 있는 미소관들이 관찰되었다. 또한 원형질막 표면에는 세포벽 성분인 cellulose fibril들이 연결되어 다발을 형성하고 있는 것이 주사전자현미경으로 관찰되었다. DMSO가 첨가되지 않은 배지에서 배양된 원형질체에서는 이러한 전자현미경적 구조들이 관찰되지 않았다. 원형질체 배양배지에 첨가된 DMSO는 미소관편제센타 (MTOC)의 형성에 의하여 세포벽 재생과 세포분열을 유도하는 것으로 생각된다.

Recently, household electronic industries require environmentally-friendly and highly functional steels in order to enhance the quality of human life. Customers especially require both excellent corrosion and abrasion resistant anti-fingerprint steels for digital TV panels. Thus POSCO has developed new functional electro-galvanized steels, which have double coated layers with organic-inorganic composites on the zinc surface of the steel for usage as the bottom chassis panel of TVs. The inorganic solution for the bottom layer consists of inorganic phosphate, magnesium, and zirconium compounds with a small amount of epoxy binder, and affords both improved adhesion properties by chemical conversion reactions and corrosion resistance due to a self-healing effect. The composite solution for the top layer was prepared by fine dispersion of organic-inorganic ingredients that consist of a urethane modified polyacrylate polymer, hardener, silica sol and a titanium complex inhibitor in aqueous media. Both composite solutions were coated on the steel surface by using a roll coater and then cured through an induction furnace in the electro-galvanizing line. New anti-fingerprint steel was evaluated for quality performance through such procedures as the salt spray test for corrosion resistance, tribological test for abrasion resistance, and conductivity test for surface electric conductance regarding to both types of polymer resin and coating weight of composite solution. New composite coated anti-fingerprint steels afford both better corrosion resistance and abrasion properties compared to conventional anti-fingerprint steel that mainly consists of acrylate polymers. Detailed discussions of both composite solutions and experimental results suggest that urethane modifications of acrylate polymers of composite solutions play a key role in enhanced quality performances.

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) mushrooms play a major role in plant growth promotion through symbiotic association with roots of forest trees. They also provide an economically important food resource to us and therefore they have been studied for their artificial cultivation for decades in Korea. We have secured bio-resources of ECM mushrooms from Korean forests and performed their physiological studies. To investigate the cultural characteristics, the fungi were cultured under different conditions (medium, temperature, pH of the medium, inorganic nitrogen source). More than 90% of total 160 strains grew on three solid media (potato dextrose agar, PDA; sabouraud dextrose agar, SDA; modified Melin-Norkrans medium, MMN). The rate of mycelial growth on malt extract agar (MEA) was lower than those of three media (PDA, SDA, MMN). None of the Tricholomataceae strains grew on MEA. Many strains of ECM mushrooms were able to grow at the temperature range of $15{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ on PDA, while they showed poor growth at $10^{\circ}C$ or $30^{\circ}C$. In particular, the growth rates of both Gomphaceae and Tricholomataceae were significantly lower at $10^{\circ}C$ than at $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal pH of many strains was pH 5.0 when they cultured in potato dextrose broth (PDB). Fifty-seven percent of tested strains grew well on medium containing ammonium source than nitrate source. Many strains of Tricholomataceae showed a notable growth on ammonium medium than nitrate medium. Twenty-three percent of strains preferred nitrate source than ammonium source for their mycelial growth. The production and activity of two enzymes (cellulase and laccase) by ECM fungi were also assayed on the enzyme screening media containing CMC or ABTS. Each strains exhibited different levels of enzymatic activities as well as enzyme production. The number of laccase-producing strains was less than that of cellulase-producing strains. We found that 77% of tested strains produced both cellulase and laccase, whereas 2% of strains did not produce any enzymes. The morphological characteristics of mycelial colony were also examined on four different solid media. Yellow was a dominant color in mycelial colony and followed by white and brown on all culture media. ECM mushrooms formed mycelial colonies with a single or multiple colors within a culture medium depending on the strains and culture media. The most common shape of mycelial colony was a circular form on all media tested. Other families except for Amanitaceae formed an irregular colony on MMN than PDA. All strains of Tricholomataceae did not form a filamentous colony on all media. The pigmentation of culture media by mycelial colonies was observed in more than 50% of strains tested on both PDA and SDA. The degree of pigmentation on PDA or SDA was higher than MMN and brown color was dominant than yellow color. The production of exudates from mycelial colony was higher on PDA than MMN. Brown exudates were mainly produced by many strains on PDA or SDA, whereas transparent exudates were mainly produced by strains on MMN. We observed the mycelial colonies with a single or multiple textures in just one culture plate. Wrinkled or uneven colony surfaces were remarkably observed in many strains on PDA or SDA, while an even colony surface was observed in many strains on MMN. Sixty percent of Tricholomaceae strains formed wrinkled surface on PDA. However, they did not form any wrinkle on MMN plate. Cottony texture was observed in mycelia colonies of many strains. Velvety texture was often observed in the mycelial colonies on SDA than PDA and accounted for 60% of Suillaceae strains on SDA.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 서로 다른 세가지 블라스팅 처리를 한 티타늄 디스크에$Nd:YVO_4$ 레이저 조사 조건을 달리한 후 조사하여 티타늄의 표면 거칠기 및 표면 변화를 관찰하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 디스크 형태의 상용 순수 티타늄 시편을 30개 준비하여 시료 표면을 각각 10개씩 $ZrO_2$ (zirconium dioxide), $Al_2O_3$ (aluminium oxide), RBM (resorbable blasted media)으로 블라스팅(blasting)하고 초음파 세척하였다. $Nd:YVO_4$ 레이저(Laser Pro D-20, Laserval $Korea^{(R)}$, Seoul, South Korea)에서 주사속도(100, 300, 500 mm/s)와 시간당 진동량(반복률) (5, 15, 35 kHz)을 다르게 하여 9가지 조건을 설정하였다. 레이저 조사 후 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절 분석 및 에너지 분산X선 분광분석, 표면 거칠기 분석을 통해 각 시편을 평가하고 분석하였다. 결과: 주사전자현미경의 결과 레이저 조사를 시행하지 않은 티타늄 표면은 방향성이 없는 불규칙한 형상을 보였고 레이저 조사를 처리한 시편은 특징적인 형태가 관찰되었다. X-선회절분석결과$ZrO_2$, RBM 의 고유피크는 관찰되지 않았으나 $Al_2O_3$분사한 군에서는 알루미나의 고유 피크가 관찰되었다. 에너지 분산X선 분광분석을 통해 관찰한 티타늄의 산화도 경향성과 표면 거칠기는 유사하였다. 표면 거칠기는 주사속도와 반복률에 따른 차이를 보였다(P<.05). 결론: 레이저 조사 조건에 따라 티타늄 디스크의 미세구조와 표면 거칠기가 변화되었다. 레이저 조사는 골유착을 증진시키기 위한 임플란트 표면을 변화시키는 방법중의 하나로 여길 수 있을 것이다.

다환 방향족 탄화수소(PAH; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon)는 발암성, 돌연변이 유발성, 유전독성을 지니기 때문에 인체위해성이 큰 물질로 알려져 있다. 기존 PAH 분해 미생물 탐색 방법중 독성이 강한 유기용매에 PAH를 용해시켜 미생물에 직접 분무하는 분무법, 미생물과 직접 혼합하는 한천중층법은 미생물 생장에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 특히 많이 쓰이는 분무법의 경우 분무되는 PAH의 양을 조절하기가 어렵고 멸균상태를 유지하기가 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 보완한 방법으로 승화법(Alley, Jeremy F. and Lewis R. Brown. 2000. Use of sublimation to prepare solid microbial media with water-insoluble substrates. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 66, 439-442)을 도입하여 적용하였다. 그 결과 상용휘발유 및 태안유류유출지 시료로부터 분리한 350분리균주 중에서 7균주가 단일 PAH 또는 복수의 PAH 분해에 관여했다. 특히 Corynebacterium sp. SK20, Rhodococcus sp. TA24, Streptomyces sp. TA27은 시험한 pyene, phenanthrene, naphthalene에, Gordonia sp. H37는 pyrene, naphthalene에, Arthrobacter sp. S49는, naphthalene, phenanthrene에 활성이 있었다.

개착식 하상여과에 대해서 실험실 규모의 모형을 구축하고 중사, 왕사, 화산석, 자갈에 대한 단일 여재를 구성하였다. 실험을 통해 투수계수 및 하상 여과에 대한 취수량을 추정하고, 지하수 유동 모델링인 Visual MODFLOW를 통해 탁도 변화에 따라 수정된 투수계수를 적용하고 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 각 여재마다 22개의 수정 투수계수 시나리오가 적용되었다. 전체 모델링에서 최소 오차는 화산석(2~5 mm)을 여재로 한 경우 상부에서부터 3개 지층에 대해서 20% 감소된 투수계수를 적용한 시나리오다. 이는 화산석의 특성상 탁도를 유발하는 황토가 여재에 흡착되어 상부에서 3번째 지층까지 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정되었다. 또한 입자의 크기가 작은 중사의 경우 5% 감소된 투수계수를 상부에서 두 번째 지층까지 적용한 시나리오에서도 작은 오차 값을 나타냈다.

In an earlier publication (Serrano et al. 2014), the theoretical basis for evaluating the shear strength in rock joints was presented and used to derive an equation that governs the relationship between tangential and normal stresses on the joint during slippage between the joint faces. In this paper, the theoretical equation is applied to two non-linear failure criteria by using non-associated flow laws, including the modified Hoek and Brown and modified Mohr-Coulomb equations. The theoretical model considers the geometric dilatancy, the instantaneous friction angle, and a parameter that considers joint surface roughness as dependent variables. This model uses a similar equation structure to the empirical law that was proposed by Barton in 1973. However, a good correlation with the empirical values and, therefore, Barton's equation is necessary to incorporate a non-associated flow law that governs breakage processes in rock masses and becomes more significant in highly fractured media, which can be induced in a rock joint. A linear law of dilatancy is used to assess the importance of the non-associated flow to obtain very close values for different roughness states, so the best results are obtained for null material dilatancy, which considers significant changes that correspond to soft rock masses or altered zones of weakness.
