To detect lead ions using electrochemical voltammetric analysis, Infrared Photo-Diode Electrode(IPDE) was applied via cyclic and square wave stripping voltammetry. Lead ions were deposited at 0.5 V(versus Ag/AgCl) accumulation potential. Instrumental measurements systems were made based on a simple and compact detection system. The stripping voltammetric and cyclic voltammetric optimal parameters were searched. The results yielded a cyclic range of $40{\sim}240mgl^{-1}$ Pb(II) and a square wave stripping working range of $0.5{\sim}5.00mgl^{-1}$ Pb(II). The relative standard deviation at 2 and 4 $mgl^{-1}$ Pb(II) was 0.04% and 0.02%(n=15), respectively, using the stripping voltammetric conditions. The detection limit was found to be 0.05 $mgl^{-1}$ with a 40 sec preconcentration time. Analytical interference ions were also evaluated. The proposed method was applied to determine lead ions in various samples.

Recently, piezoelectric transformer is applied to wide fields. Multi layer piezoelectric transformer has the advantage of high step up ratio, electromechanical coupling coefficient(Kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm), but is indicated of peeling-phenomenon of electrode, rising sintering temperature made price of costly electrode. So in this study, it discuss on method for fabrication of rosen type piezoelectric transformers. For the fabrication as rosen type piezoelectric transformers, synthesized the powder using 0.01Pb$(ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ - 0.08Pb$(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ - 0.91Pb$(Zr_{0506}Ti_{0496})O_3$ (abbreviated as PNN-PMN-PZT) ceramics. The density, microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties as a function of sintering temperature were investigated. The results indicated that the optimized properties of ceramics were obtained at sintering temperature of 1200$^{\circ}C$, showed the value of $d_{33}$=273pC/N, $K_p$=0.60 $Q_m$=1585, ${\varepsilon}_r$=1454, density=7.917$g/cm^3$ and $tan{\delta}$=0.0064.

Formaldehyde와 resorcinol을 반응시켜 chelating 수지를 제조하였다. 이 수지는 Pb(II)나 Ni(II)와 같은 전이금속에 대해 높은 흡착능을 나타내었다. Pb(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II)와 Zn(II)의 흡착과 탈착율을 batch법으로 구하였다. 이 수지의 중요한 특성은 금속 이온과 수지의 수소 이온간의 교환과정이다. 금속이온의 흡착과 탈착의 메카니즘은 수지의 작용기인 수소 이온의 탈착과 금속 이온간의 교환반응으로 생각된다. 이 수지를 이용하여 전이금속을 농축시키고, 다른 이온들로부터 Pb(II)를 분리하는데 적용해 보았다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional properties of salt-soluble proteins obtained from Protaetia brevitarsis (PB) and Tenebrio molitor (TM) larvae, the interaction between these proteins and pork myofibrillar protein (MP) in a gel system. The gel properties of salt-soluble protein extracts showed that the PB had a higher viscosity than the TM protein. However, the TM protein had higher gel strength compared with the PB protein. The gelation characteristics of the pork MP gel systems added with lyophilized insect salt-soluble protein powder showed to decrease slightly viscosity compared with MP alone. Adding the TM or PB protein powder did not affect the pork MP's hydrophobicity and sulfhydryl group levels. Furthermore, the protein bands of the MP did not change with the type or amount of insect salt-soluble protein. The cooking yields of the pork MP gels containing PB or TM protein powder were higher than those without insect protein. Regardless of the type of insect salt-soluble protein added, the pork MP's gel strength decreased. Furthermore, as the level of insect powder increased, the surface protein structure became rough and porous. The results demonstrated that proteins extracted from PB and TM larvae interfered with the gelation of pork MP in a gel system.

2019년 7월에 얻어진 200개의 지하수 수질자료를 활용하여 보성지역 지하수의 수질 특성을 평가하고, 배경 수질을 도출하였다. 지하수는 질산성질소 농도를 기준으로 Group 1(NO₃^- < 44.3 mg/L)과 Group 2(NO₃^- ≥ 44.3 mg/L)로 구분하였다. t-test 결과, Group 2는 Group 1에 비해 유의성 있게 수온과 Ca 농도가 높았고, F, As, Pb, Zn 등의 농도는 낮게 나타났다. 질산염 농도가 높은 경우에는 낮은 pH, 알칼리도, NH₄, NO₂, F, As, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn 등의 농도를 보였으며, EC 및 수온은 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 한편, 배경농도는 BRIDGE 방법으로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 설정된 NO₃, NH₄, PO₄, As, Fe, Mn 항목들에 대한 배경농도 값들은 기존의 환경부 보고서(MOE and KECO, 2018; 2019)에 제시된 중권역별 배경농도 산정 결과보다는 다소 높게 설정되었다. 본 연구에 이용된 수질자료의 수가 훨씬 많다는 점을 감안하면, 본 연구에서 산출된 배경수질 자료의 신뢰성이 더 높은 것이라 판단된다.

Eletrophysiological methods revealed subclinical neuropathy in 26 workers, exposed from 1 to 17 years to lead and whose blood lead (PbB) values had never exceeded $70{\mu}g/100\;ml$, as ascertained by checking the monitor reports of the factory and by careful exposure history. The PbB determinations had been tested repostedly and had been found valid. The main findings were slowing of the maximal motor conduction velocities of the median and ulnar nerves and particularly the conduction velocity of the slower fibers of the ulnar nerve. Eletrophysiological abnormalities comprised fibriliations, diminution of the number of motor units on maximal contraction, and an abnormal. Thus, a dose-response relationship exlets on a group basis. Since the regular monitoring of PbBs in most workers during their entire period of exposure excludes the possibility of a body burden out of proportion to the PbBs silght neuro-logical damage is produced at exposures hitherto regarded as quite sale.

Lead is a highly toxic heavy metal that causes serious health problems. Nonetheless, it is increasingly being used for industrial applications and is often discharged into the environment without adequate purification. In this study, Pb(II) was removed by powdered waste sludge (PWS) based on the biosorption mechanism. Different PWSs were collected from a submerged moving media intermittent aeration reactor (SMMIAR) and modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) processes. The contents of extracellular polymeric substances were similar, but the surface area of MLE-PWS (2.07 ㎡/g) was higher than that of SMMIAR-PWS (0.82 ㎡/g); this is expected to be the main parameter determining Pb(II) biosorption capacity. The Bacillaceae family was dominant in both PWSs and may serve as the major responsible bacterial group for Pb(II) biosorption. Pb(II) biosorption using PWS was evaluated for reaction time, salinity effect, and isotherm equilibrium. For all experiments, MLE-PWS showed higher removal efficiency. At a fixed initial Pb(II) concentration of 20 mg/L and a reaction time of 180 minutes, the biosorption capacities (q_e) for SMMIAR- and MLE-PWSs were 2.86 and 3.07 mg/g, respectively. Pb(II) biosorption using PWS was rapid; over 80% of the maximum biosorption capacity was achieved within 10 minutes. Interestingly, MLE-PWS showed enhanced Pb(II) biosorption with salinity values of up to 30 g NaCl/L. Linear regression of the Freundlich isotherm revealed high regression coefficients (R² > 0.968). The fundamental Pb(II) biosorption capacity, represented by the K_F value, was consistently higher for MLE-PWS than SMMIAR-PWS.

High power piezoelectric materials are presently being extensively developed for applications such as ultrasonic motors and piezoelectric transformer In this study, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties of $MnO_2$ doped $0.36Pb(Sc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_{3}-0.25Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-0.39PbTiO_3$ (hereafter PSNNT), which is the morphotropic phase boundary composition of the PSN-PNN-PT system were investigated. $MnO_2$-addition into the $0.36Pb(Sc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_{3}-0.25Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-0.39PbTiO_3$ composition increases the piezoelectric coefficient up to $k_{p}{\fallingdotseq}$55.6[%] and $Q_{m}{\fallingdotseq}$252. Moreover, $MnO_2$ addition makes tetragonal phase more stable with respect to rhombohedral phase.

Our group had isolated Bifidobacterium breve strain BS2-PB3 from human breast milk. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of B. breve BS2-PB3, and with a focus on its safety profile, various probiotic characteristics (presence of antibiotic resistance genes, virulence factors, and mobile elements) were then determined through bioinformatic analyses. The antibiotic resistance profile of B. breve BS2-PB3 was also evaluated. The whole genome of B. breve BS2-PB3 consisted of 2,268,931 base pairs with a G-C content of 58.89% and 2,108 coding regions. The average nucleotide identity and whole-genome phylogenetic analyses supported the classification of B. breve BS2-PB3. According to our in silico assessment, B. breve BS2-PB3 possesses antioxidant and immunomodulation properties in addition to various genes related to the probiotic properties of heat, cold, and acid stress, bile tolerance, and adhesion. Antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion test, in which the minimum inhibitory concentrations for selected antibiotics were subsequently tested using the Epsilometer test. B. breve BS2-PB3 only exhibited selected resistance phenotypes, i.e., to mupirocin (minimum inhibitory concentration/MIC >1,024 ㎍/ml), sulfamethoxazole (MIC>1,024 ㎍/ml), and oxacillin (MIC >3 ㎍/ml). The resistance genes against those antibiotics, i.e., ileS, mupB, sul4, mecC and ramA, were detected within its genome as well. While no virulence factor was detected, four insertion sequences were identified within the genome but were located away from the identified antibiotic resistance genes. In conclusion, B. breve BS2-PB3 demonstrated a sufficient safety profile, making it a promising candidate for further development as a potential functional food.

축전지 공장의 환경과 근로자들의 개인 위생의 개선 조치가 근로자의 혈중 연농도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 관찰하기 위하여 새로 설립된 축전지 공장의 생산직 근로자 116명을 대상으로 채용시 혈중 연농도를 측정하고 1987년 2월부터 약 3개월 간격으로 $12{\sim}18$개월간 추적 관찰하였다. 관찰기관 중 작업환경 및 근로자 개인위생의 개선조치를 시행하였고 1987년 8월부터 6개월 간격으로 3회 작업장내 공기중 연농도를 측정하였다. 또 사무직 근로자 40명을 대조군으로 선정하여 그들의 혈중 연농도의 변화를 관찰하였다. 작업환경 개선은 국소배기장치 설치와 바닥의 진공청소였고 개인위생 개선조치는 매일 작업복 세탁, 퇴근시 샤워, 식사 전 손씻기, 작업장내 흡연 및 음식섭취 금지, 그리고 마스크 착용이었다. 대조군 40명 중 6개월까지 혈중 연농도의 관찰이 가능했던 27명에서 채용시 혈중 연농도가 $21.97{\pm}3.36{\mu}g/dl$이고 6개월후 $22.75{\pm}3.38{\mu}g/dl$로서 유의한 증가는 없었다. 공장이 가동되기 전에 입사한 A군은 폭로 전 혈중 연농도가 $20.49{\pm}3.84{\mu}g/dl$였고 폭로시작 3개월 후에 $23.90{\pm}5.30{\mu}g/dl$로 유의한 증가를 보였으며(p<0.01), 6개월 후(개선조치 1개월후)에는 $28.84{\pm}5.76{\mu}g/dl$로 더욱 증가되었으나 그후 4회 측정치는 $26.83{\sim}28.28{\mu}g/dl$로 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 공장이 가동된 후 개선조치가 시행되기 전에 입사한 B군의 경우 폭로전 혈중 연농도가 $16.58{\pm}4/53{\mu}g/dl$였고 3개월후(개선조치 1개월후)에 $28.82{\pm}5.66{\mu}g/dl$로 급격히 증가했으며(p<0.01), 그 후 4회 측정치도 $26.46{\sim}28.54{\mu}g/dl$로 더이상 증가하지 않았다. 개선조치가 시행된 후 입사한 C군에서는 채용시 혈중 연농도가 $19.45{\pm}3.34{\mu}g/dl$였고 3개월후의 혈중 연농도가 $22.70{\pm}4.55{\mu}g/dl$로 유의한 증가를 보였고(p<0.01), 6개월에 $23.68{\pm}4.18{\mu}g/dl$, 9개월에 $25.42{\pm}3.60{\mu}g/dl$로 서서히 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 1987년 8원부터 6개월 간격으로 3회 작업환경을 측정하고 작업장의 공기중 연농도에 따라 4개부서로 구분하여 그 성적을 보면 제I부서는 $0.365mg/m^3$였으나, 작업환경 개선조치 후 각각 $0.216mg/m^3,\;0.208mg/m^3$로 감소되었고, 제II부서는 $0.232mg/m^3$였는데 개선조치후 $0.148mg/m^3,\;0.120mg/m^3$였으며, 작업환경 개선 조치후 측정한 제III부서는 1988년 1월, 8월에 각각 $0.124mg/m^3,\;0.091mg/m^3$였고 제IV부서(이동부서)는 1988년 8월에 $0.110mg/m^3$로 III, IV부서가 I, II부서에 비해 낮았다. 각 부서별 비교에서 A군과 B군의 혈중 연농도는 공기중 연농도와 비례하지 않는 결과를 보여 작업환경이 제일 나쁜 제 I부서에서 오히려 혈중 연농도가 낮고 작업환경이 좋은 제III부서에서 더 급격히 혈중 연농도가 증가하였다. C군은 제 I부서의 혈중 연농도가 제일 높았고 이동부서인 제IV부서에서 제일 낮아 공기중 연농도와 혈중 연농도 사이에 일정한 관련성을 나타내지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 연취급 근로자의 모니터링은 공기중 연농도보다 혈중 연농도의 측정이 타당하며 작업환경개선도 중요하지만 개인위생에 대한 개선조치가 오히려 더 효과적이라 생각된다.
