독성가스의 누출은 공정설비의 위험도에 크게 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 API-581에 의한 위험기반검사에서 매개변수의 변화에 따른 독성가스(암모니아 및 염소 가스)의 누출사고 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 독성물질의 누출에 의한 사고결과, 즉 독성 피해영역은 온도가 증가할수록, 그리고 압력과 파이프 직경이 감소할수록 감소하였으며, 동일한 누출조건에서 암모니아 보다 염소가스인 경우에 큰 값을 나타내었다.

Objectives : Our study aims to help users take the medicinal materials in a desirable manner by providing toxic and contraindicating information, based on the ontology of medicinal materials in traditional Korean medicine (TKM). Methods : The toxic and contraindicating data are extracted for 160 medicinal materials from 67 books published in Korea and China. The extracted data are linked to the medicinal material in the ontology, respectively. Results : We in this paper construct an ontology for toxic and contraindicating data of medicinal materials in traditional Korean medicine (TKM), extending our conventional ontology. Based on the ontology, we devised a web-based searching tool that enables users to share the toxic and contraindicating information of medicinal materials. Conclusions : The contents in our ontology are facts based on the books, while the addition of clinical knowledge may elaborate the ontology. Moreover, the addition of easy explanations for terminologies in our ontology is required to help users which are not familiar to TKM.

본 연구는 염소가스의 소규모 연속누출에서 분산특성과 독성영향을 해석하였다. 염소 농도의 실험값과 이론값을 비교한 결과, Briggs의 분산계수와 유효누출높이를 사용한 가우시안 모델이 BM 모델보다 적용성이 우수하였다. 또한 가우시안 모델에 의해 염소농도를 산출하고 해석한 결과, 염소분산은 누출속도 보다 대기안정도와 바람속도에 크게 영향을 받으며, 독성영향은 염소분산에 미치는 매개변수의 영향과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 이때, 여러 독성기준에 의해 산출된 피해범위로부터 인명을 보호하기 위한 위험지역을 파악할 수 있었다.

A non-toxic Post Boost Stage(PBS) with LOX/Ethanol engine was successfully demonstrated at the Tomioka Facility of IHI Aerospace. IHI Aerospace has researched and developed the nontoxic propulsion systems and the LOX/Ethanol is one of the most attractive non-toxic bipropellant candidates. ${\rho}ISP$ of LOX/Ethanol is higher than ${\rho}ISP$ of the other non-toxic bipropellants as LOX/HC or $LOX/LH_2$. The authors studied the combustion characteristics of LOX/Ethanol propellant with the engine designed for LOX/LNG propellant. Also the injector with a built-in igniter was designed and examined its feasibility, ignition and combustion characteristics. We have demonstrated Post Boost Stage with future LOX/Ethanol engines. This propulsion system is targeted for expandable vehicle upper stage to accelerate delta-V to reach the required orbit. PBS Demonstration Model is designed as a test stand to evaluate feed system for integrated propulsion system and also to demonstrate Integrated Vehicle Health Management(IVHM) technique using local valve control and also valve behavior-monitoring capability.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and no cure is known so far. Extensive genetic works and in vitro experiments combined with clinical observations link amyloid $\beta$--protein (A$\beta$-) to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It was hypothesized that $A\beta$- becomes toxic when it adopts a fibrillar conformation. Recently, non-fibrillar form of $A\beta$- was observed and the potential role in the pathogenesis of AD became an interesting subject. In this study, the cytotoxicity of non-fibrillar $A\beta$- and fibrillar $A\beta$- was compared on oxidative stress, membrane damage, or nucleosome break down. Non-fibrillar $A\beta$- was not toxic in peripheral nervous system-derived cells but significantly toxic in central nervous system-derived cells while fibrillar $A\beta$- was non-selectively toxic in both cell culture. The neurotoxicity of non-fibrillar $A\beta$- was reproduced in semi-in vivo culture of mouse brain slice. In conclusion, non-fibrillar $A\beta$- could be more relevant to the selective neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's brains than fibrillar $A\beta$- and further research needs to be done for identification of the cause of AD.

Purpose: This study analyzed the information and accessibility of toxic substances provided to Internet websites. Methods: From August 1, 2020, to August 31, 2020, we analyzed eight internet websites regarding toxic pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and chemicals. The website-evaluation criteria were divided into five categories for information and five categories for website convenience. Results: All eight websites about toxic substances were hosted by reliable institutions or organizations and provided accurate information in terms of informational relevance. The website run by the Safety and Health Corporation scored the highest with 100points. Analysis of the websites' accessibility to non-members' revealed that six (75.0%) were accessible, but two (12.5%) provided only limited information. Access to information through mobile apps was only available in three of the eight cases (37.5%). Conclusion: This study can be used as a reference for Internet websites about toxic substances. Toxicological information that can be viewed only with membership and manager approval requires membership in advance of viewing. In addition, emergency medical personnel working at a site or hospital should be familiar with the characteristics of toxicity information retrieval.

To build an automated system detecting toxic chemicals from Raman spectra, we have to obtain sufficient data of toxic chemicals. However, it usually costs high to gather Raman spectra of toxic chemicals in diverse situations. Tackling this problem, we develop methods to generate synthetic Raman spectra of DMMP and 2-CEES without actual experiments. First, we propose certain mathematical transforms to augment few original Raman spectra. Then, we train deep generative models to generate more realistic and diverse data. Analyzing synthetic Raman spectra of toxic chemicals generated by our methods through visualization, we qualitatively verify that the data are sufficiently similar to original data and diverse. For conclusion, we obtain a synthetic dataset of DMMP and 2-CEES with the proposed algorithm.

Of mushrooms found in Japan, approximately 35 species are classified as poisonous mushrooms. The mushroom poisonings caused by these mushrooms are classified as three types accodring to the symptoms and their toxic constitutents. The first type is the cholera-like symptom which is induced mainly by the toxic constitutents such as cyclopeptide and gyromitrin. The second type is the neurological mainfestations induced by muscarine (cholinergic), muscimol (delirium), psilocybin (hallucinogenic) and coprine (antabuse-like).

Among the environmental toxic metals, cadmium and lead compounds are very hazard for human health because these may affect the biological function of human body and furthermore enhance the cause of various disease. In recent years, as the view of environmental toxicology, the combination of toxic metals suffering human health is especially significant cadmium chloride (10 mg/kg P. 0., 1 mg/kg I.P.) and lead acetate (20 mg/kg P.O., 2 mg/kg I.P.) were administered to rats for 4 weeks on alternate days and then examined the effect of these on body weight, tissue weight and also biochemical function in blood and tissue were investigated and comparision of the two experimental groups such as single and combined administration. According to the results of this experiment, accumulation of heavy metals increased and biological metabolic function grew worse but, in tissue, toxic effect decreased by combined administration and intraperitoneal administration was more toxic than per OS.

Hornet venom의 독성 peptide인 mastoparan과 mastoparan-B를 solid phase peptide syn- thesis method로 합성한 후 이들과 phospholipid와의 상호작용, 이들의 항균 활성 및 용혈 활성 을 조사하였다. 두가지 독성 peptide 모두 중성 liposome에서 저 농도에서도 dye release를 유도할 수 있었다. 중성 liposome에 대한 mastoparan-B의 결합 친화도는 산성 liposome에서 보다 작았다. Mastoparan과 mastoparan-B는 두가지 모두 그람 양성 세균에 대하여 강한 항균 활성을 가지고 있었으나 그람 음성 세균에 대해서는 각각 약하거나 유력한 활성을 보였다. Mastoparan과 mastoparan-B는 5$\mu$M의 낮은 농도에서도 적혈구를 분해시키는 독성을 보였다.
