The corrosion product of archaeological iron objects is supposed to be removed because it causes re-corrosion. So far it is removed by scapel and sand blaster but they depend on the skill and experience of a conservator and the glass-dust of the sand blaster is harmful to humans. Therefore this study applies a laser cleaning system which is used in various industrial cleaning processes, to remove corrosion product from archaeological iron objects. In addition, this work studies the alternation of corrosion product after laser irradiation, which evaluates the reliability of the laser cleaning system. Optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRD, Raman have been used to observe and analyse the surface of the objects. The results show the capacity of laser cleaning some corrosion product, but blackening appears with increasing pulses and laser energy, and some corrosion products, goethite and hematite, are partially altered to magnetite. These problems, blackening and alternation of corrosion product, should be solved by further studies which find the optimal laser irradiation condition and use a wetting agent.

개똥쑥은 말라리아 등 다양한 질병의 치료물질인 artemisinin 제공하나, 식물체 내 농도가 낮고, 생산이 불안정하여 국제적 수요에 대응하지 못하고 있다. 재배환경을 인공적으로 제어하는 식물공장 시스템은 계절이나 장소에 제한 없이 약용식물의 공장식 생산체계가 가능하다(Kim 2010). 본 연구에서는 식물공장에서 개똥쑥의 artemisinin의 대량생산이 가능한 최적의 조건을 찾기 위하여 파종부터 수확까지 적색광(R)과 청색광(B)을 혼합한 3종류의 LED (R : B = 6 : 4, 7 : 3, 8 : 2)에서 생장 및 물질생산에 적합한 광조건을 탐색하였다. 개똥쑥의 수확 전, 1,395 ㎼/cm²의 UV-B, 4℃의 저온, 그리고 건조 처리로 식물에 hormesis를 유도하여 artemisinin의 생산 증가를 확인하였다. Artemisinin 생합성에 관여하는 효소들 중에서 ADS, CYP, ALDH1의 발현량을 qPCR로 측정하였고, artemisinin 정량을 통해 전사체와 대사물질의 연관성을 확인하고, artemisinin 생산에 적합한 재배 광조건과 hormesis 처리 조건을 탐색하였다. 3종의 LED 비율 중 8 : 2에서 높은 생체중 및 건물중을 생산했으며, hormesis를 유도하기 위한 3종의 물리 처리에서 이를 통해 7 : 3 식물을 수확전 6시간 건조처리했을 때 artemisinin 함량이 약 2배 증가하였다.

Aqua regia extraction for the quantification of heavy metals and As in contaminated soils was investigated as one of preliminary steps for on-site monitoring using sensor technology. Soil samples were taken from closed railway depot, closed mines, and closed refinery and various extraction conditions including $30^{\circ}C/15min$, $30^{\circ}C/30min$, $30^{\circ}C/60min$, $30^{\circ}C/120min$, $80^{\circ}C/15min$, $80^{\circ}C/30min$, $80^{\circ}C/60min$, $80^{\circ}C/120min$ were tested. The optimal extraction condition was determined as $80^{\circ}C/60min$ because the extraction efficiencies of Zn were relatively low and did not reach the targeted level (80-100% of original concentrations) for $30^{\circ}C$ conditions. It was found that the fractionation of heavy metals and As using the sequential extraction method was useful to understand the degree of metal extraction. In order to enhance the extraction efficiency within short extraction time, ultrasound technology using a 20 kHz horn-type sonicator was additionally used for $30^{\circ}C/15min$. It was revealed that ultrasound could significantly enhance the extraction efficiency and pulsed irradiation showed higher efficiency than continuous irradiation due to the less formation of bubble clouds. However high temperature condition ($80^{\circ}C$) was required to achieve high extraction efficiency for Zn in spite of the use of ultrasound.

This study examined the properties of photons and the dose distribution in a human body via a simulation where the total body irradiation(TBI) is performed on a pediatric anthropomorphic phantom and a child size water phantom. Based on this, we tried to find the optimal photon beam energy and material for beam spoiler. In this study, MCNPX (Ver. 2.5.0), a simulation program based on the Monte Carlo method, was used for the photon beam analysis and TBI simulation. Several different beam spoiler materials (plexiglass, copper, lead, aluminium) were used, and three different electron beam energies were used in the simulated accelerator to produce photon beams (6, 10, and 15 MeV). Moreover, both a water phantom for calculating the depth-dependent dosage and a pediatric anthropomorphic phantom for calculating the organ dosage were used. The homogeneity of photon beam was examined in different depths for the water phantom, which shows the 20%-40% difference for each material. Next, the org an doses on pediatric anthropomorphic phantom were examined, and the results showed that the average dose for each part of the body was skin 17.7 Gy, sexual gland 15.2 Gy, digestion 13.8 Gy, liver 11.8 Gy, kidney 9.2 Gy, lungs 6.2 Gy, and brain 4.6 Gy. Moreover, as for the organ doses according to materials, the highest dose was observed in lead while the lowest was observed in plexiglass. Plexiglass in current use is considered the most suitable material, and a 6 or 10 MV photon energy plan tailored to the patient condition is considered more suitable than a higher energy plan.

The objective of this study was to investigate the non-thermal sterilization effect of methods such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and UV-irradiation (specifically with regard to the storage stability and shelf-life of carrot juice. The microbial counts of the non-sterilized product increased from 5.51 to 7.34 log CFU/mL up to the fifth day, and then decreased to 5.46 log CFU/mL at six days. UV-irradiation was increased from 2.37 to 4.92 log CFU/mL. HHP was maintained under the 3 log CFU/mL. The pH of UV-irradiation and HHP was maintained withing the range of 6.29~6.30 and 6.20~6.22 during storage. However, the pH arising from non-sterilization decreased from 6.31 to 4.49. The color of non-sterilization changed significantly during storage, but UV-irradiation and HHP were similar during storage. The ${\beta}$-carotene content of non-sterilization was noted to have decreased from 269.45 to $65.19{\mu}g/mL$ during storage. The UV-irradiation and HHP decreased from 263.46 and $268.35{\sim}281.16{\mu}g/mL$ to 243.42 and $244.09{\sim}269.29{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In conclusion, these findings suggest that HHP can be used for the pasteurization, or sterilization, of carrot juice and the optimal condition is two minutes.

Using extracted sepia melanin powder by repeated treatments with aqueous sodium hydroxide and acetic acid solutions, vat dyeing of wool and cotton fabrics was carried out under various dyeing conditions including concentration of melanin, alkali, reducing agent and salt, as well as dyeing time and temperature. A K/S of 25.3 for wool fabrics was obtained at the optimal dyeing condition with 9% owf melanin, 0.5g/L NaOH and 56g/L $Na_2S_2O_4$ without salt at $80^{\circ}C$ for 90minutes. The vat dyeing of sepia melanin was applicable to both cotton and wool fabrics but the wool showed higher dyeability. The color fastness properties of the dyed wool and cotton fabrics were excellent to washing, rubbing and light irradiation.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimal storage condition of pre-packed Hanwoo beef without freezing. Hanwoo loin was purchased from a local distributor at 48 h after slaughter, then sliced in $1.5{\pm}0.5$ cm thickness, and packed in a polyethylene (PE) tray covered with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) film. The studied factors to set the optimal storage condition were chamber temperature (5, 2.5 and $-1^{\circ}C$ for 14 d), cooling method (direct and indirect cooling system), and ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation for beef surface sterilization (0, 30, 60, and 120 min). The changes of pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and number of aerobic bacteria were measured during storage. Beef samples stored in $-1^{\circ}C$ showed the minimal increasing rate in TBARS and microbial growth. After 15 d of storage, there was no significant difference in pH and TBARS values. However, the microbial population of beef stored in direct type cooling chamber ($4.25{\pm}0.66$ Log CFU/g) was significantly lower than that of beef stored in indirect type chamber ($6.47{\pm}0.08$ Log CFU/g) (p<0.05). After 4 d of storage, 60 or 120 min UV light irradiated beef samples showed significantly lower microbial population, and at 14 d of storage, 60 min UV irradiated beef sample showed significantly lower microbial population ($3.14{\pm}0.43$ Log CFU/g) than control ($4.46{\pm}0.13$ Log CFU/g) (p<0.05). However, TBARS values of 60 or 120 min UV light irradiated beef samples were significantly higher than non-irradiated beef sample after 4 d of storage (p<0.05).

목적 : 방사선조사후 세포의 생존 분획은 세포집락 측정기법으로 확인하는 것이 표준이나 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되는 단점을 갖고 있다. 이에 생존 세포의 tetrazolium염의 자색 formazan 침전물로의 환원시키는 능력에 그 기반을 둔 MTT 기법을 사용하여 세포집락 측정기법을 대체하기 위한 기법으로서의 유용성과 그 실행상의 최적조건을 규명하고자 하였다. 방법 : PCI-1, SNU-1066, NCI-H630, RKO등의 세포주에 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Gy의 방사선을 조사한 후 세포집락 측정 기법과 MTT기법으로 세포 생존 분획을 조사하였다. 세포집락 측정기법은 $25\;cm^2$ 폴리스티렌 배양 플라스크에 방사선량에 따라 다른 수의 세포를 분주한 후 24시간 동안 배양 후 방사선을 조사하였고 이를 $10\~14$일 동안 배양 후 염색하여 생성된 세포집락의 수를 측정하였다. MTT기법은 침전물의 용해과정이 필요없는 Premix WST-1 시약을 이용하여 시행하였다. MTT기법은 각각의 세포주에서 세포수와 흡광도간의 선형관계와 최적 실험조건을 확인한 이후 시행하였다. 이 기법은 방사선을 조사받은 세포에서는 지수적 성장을 회복한 이후와 방사선을 조사받지 않은 세포는 4회 이상의 세포분열을 거친 후에 시행하였다. 세포집락 측정기법 및 MTT기법을 통하여 얻은 세포 생존율을 구한 후 이를 지표로 비교하였다. 결과 : 각 기법으로 얻은 세포 생존율의 표준편차는 $5\%$ 내외였다. 2가지 방법으로 구한 세포 생존율은 t-test로 비교하였을 때 $0\~4\;Gy$에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며 회귀분석 결과는 선형적 관계가 있었다$(R^2=0.975-0.992)$. MTT 기법의 시행에 최적인 세포수는 배양효율에 따라 다른 것으로 나타났는데, 배양효율이 $30\%$ 이상이면 300개 이하가, $30\%$ 미만인 경우는 $500\~1,000$개가 적당한 것으로 확인되었다. MTT기법은 6 배가시간 경과 이후에 시행하는 것이 세포집락 측정기법과 가장 근접하였으며 적어도 4 배가시간 이후에 시행하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다. 이에 따르면 배가시간이 3일 이하인 세포주가 세포 민감성 측정방법으로서 MTT 기법이 세포 집락 측정 기법을 대체하여 사용하기에 적합한 것으로 사료되었다. 결론 : 이상에서, MTT기법을 이용하여 방사선조사 후의 세포생존을 측정하기 위해서는 예비실험을 통해 각 세포주에서의 최적의 조건을 찾는 것이 필수적이며 이 조건하에서 MTT기법을 시행해야만 방사선에 의한 세포 민감성 측정에 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

실내공기 오염물질의 제어를 통하여 공기질을 개선시킬 수 있는 요소기술의 개발을 위하여 미세부유먼지 제거방법을 도출하고자 하였다. 미세부유먼지 중에는 분진과 같은 무기물과 박테리아와 같은 작은 유기물도 포함되어 있어 이들의 동시 제거를 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 광촉매 및 UVA에 의한 미세부유먼지 중 미생물 제거 기술의 개발을 위하여 여러 종류의 광촉매에 대한 미생물 살균율을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 3가지 종류의 광촉매(ZnO, $TiO_2$, ZnO/Laponite ball)와 최소한의 UVA 자외선 조사량 3 (${\mu}W/cm^2$)을 이용하여 실내공기 부유미생물의 지표로 사용되는 Gram 양성균인 E. Coli와 Gram 음성균인 Bacillus. subtilis sp.에 대하여 살균실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과, 최소한의 UVA 자외선 조사량에서도 광촉매제와 함께 두 시간 정도 반응하였을 때 E-Coli의 경우 세 가지 광촉매제 모두에서 80 % 이상 사멸되는 것으로 나타났으며, UVA 단독 사용보다는 약 30 % 높은 사멸률을 보였다. 광촉매제 중에는 ZnO/Laponite ball 복합체의 경우에 $TiO_2$와 동등한 살균력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 포자상태에서 강한 외벽을 가지고 있는 B. subtilis sp.의 경우는 낮은 자외선 조사량으로는 살균효과가 저하되기 때문에 살균율을 높일 수 있는 최적의 촉매제 종류와 첨가량 및 자외선 조사량을 찾아야 할 것으로 판단된다.
