  • 한반도에 위치한 5곳의 정밀 지자기 관측소에서 수집된 자료를 이용하여 지자기 수직탐사를 수행하였다. 측정된 지자기 자료는 0.01 nT의 정밀도를 가지며, 1초 혹은 5초 간격으로 측정되었고 이번 해석을 위해 16일 분량의 자료를 이용하였다. 지자기 수직 탐사는 그 특성 상 주변에 해양이 존재할 경우 그에 의한 영향이 매우 크지만, 본 연구를 위해 관측자료를 처리한 결과, 인근 해안에 의한 효과보다는 심부의 전기적 구조에 의한 효과를 많이 반영하였다. 자료 해석 결과, 전기 전도체의 방향을 표시하는 유도 표시자(induction arrow)는 한반도의 대표적 지구조를 가리켰으며, 이를 통해 한반도의 심부 구조를 지전기학적으로 이해할 수 있는 증거를 확보할 수 있었다.

  • Exposure indices are important tools which enable scientists to reliably predict and detect exposures to xenobiotics and resultant cell injury. Since the de novo synthesis of stress proteins can be detected early after exposure to some agents, analysis of toxicant-induced changes in gene expression, i.e. alterations in patterns of protein synthesis, may be useful to develop as biomarkers of exposure and toxicity. The acute and chronic effects of cadmium(Cd, $CdCl_2$ 20 mg/kg) on Wistar male rats were evaluated concerning cadmium contents, tissues enzyme activity, HSP expression. The results of the study were as follows: 1. Less cadmium was absorbed through the digestive tracts, but the ratio of contents in renal to hepatic cadmium was higher at 8 weeks after treatment. 2. ALT(alanine aminotransferase), AST(aspartate aminotransferase), glucose, BUN(blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, the key indices of the clinical changes in hepatic and renal function were significantly changed by the cadmium treatment after 1 week in liver, after 4 weeks in kidney. 3. Enhanced synthesis of 70 KDa relative molecular mass proteins were detected in 2 hours after cadmium exposure, with maximum activity occurring at 8~48 hours. Induction of $HSP_{70}$ was evident at proximal tubules and glomeruli in kidney. Testicular cells produced enough HSP to be detected normally. From the above results, it could be concluded that $HSP_{70}$ induction by the cadmium treatment was a rapid reaction to indicate the exposure of xenobiotics.

  • In agricultural systems, significant amount of energy is consumed during irrigation periods. Therefore operating irrigation systems with electrical energy produced by solar energy is very important. It is be possible to operate irrigation systems which have small-pump power like drip-irrigation with electrical energy produced by solar energy. Electrical energy produced by photovoltaic panels can vary from the estimated value due to environmental factors. Consequently analysis of a real system's performance is important. Thus, more correct projections can be made for the systems which will be designed. In this study, induction motor-pump mechanism for drip-irrigation system is operated with photovoltaic generator. Solar energy capacity of the established system is evaluated by measurements in irrigation periods. By means of simulations, power values produced by system and gained from the actual system are compared. Additionally the performance of induction motor is analyzed with the help of the driver system that increases the efficiency and controls the motor. As regards of results, design values of the drip-irrigation systems fed with solar energy in Southeastern Anatolian Regions of Turkey are obtained. Performance results of induction motor controlled with driver are also provided.

  • We have shown that PI3-kinase played an essential role in the ARE-mediated rGSTA2 induction by oxidative stress following sulfur amino acid deprivation (SAAD) (Kang et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 2000). Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), which detoxifies a variety of epoxide intermediates produced from various xenobiotics, is inducible by oxidative stress.(omitted)

  • The phase II detoxifying enzymes are inducible by a variety of compounds and play an essential role for the protection of cells. Many of chemoprotective agents trigger cellular signals for the phase II enzyme induction, which subsequently activate gene transcription through ARE activation.(omitted)

  • This study was conducted to investigate the metallothionein (MT) induction by Lonicerae rios in cadmium chloride intoxication. The results were as follows: Generally, detoxication effects by Lonicerae fios extract increased to the increase of extract concentrations. When 90 mg/kg dosage of Lonicerae fios extract was administered, it showed the highest antitoxic effects in metallothionein induction. From the above results, Lonicerae rios extract increased metallothionein concentration and decreased the toxicity of cadmium in liver.

  • Metallothionein gene expression activity of cadmium was investigated in a human lung epithelial cell line. Cells, grown to near confluence, were exposed to 0∼10 ${\mu}$M Cd metal for 6 hours. Cadmium did not cause morphological alteration in lung epithelial cells that are characteristic of cell damages such as cell shrinkage, detachment of the cell from its neighbors, cytoplasmic and chromatic condensation. However, metallothionein genes of MT-1 and MT-2 were rapidly induced in the treated cell measured by RT-PCR. Regarding the induction pattern of motallothionein mRNA, MT-1 mRNA was induced in a dependent manner. MT-2 mRNA induction, which was measured using oligo primers based on cDNA of human reticulocytes, seemed to be slightly increased in low doses but decreased at high concentration used in the experiment.

  • Stem cuttings of three Rubus species native to Korea were treated by two commercial root stimulation formula for propagation. Differences among the species was obvious, toot was induced relatively easily on R. hongnoensis. Fifty percent of stem rooted without any treatment on this species and two stimulators was effective to increase the root induction. On the other hand, two other species, R. schizostylus and R. ribisoideus, had very low percent of rooting. Treatment using root stimulators was effective but still lower than that of R. hongnoensis. Root induction was not influence by the medium that resulted no differences between two media.
