  • Twenty-five bacterial strains that secrete mucous materials were isolated from sediment obtained from King George Island, Antarctica. Seven of these strains proved capable of producing cryoprotective exopolysaccharides. The strain KOPRI 21653 was selected for the further study of an anti-ice-nucleating polysaccharide (ANP), which originated from a polar region. KOPRI 21653 was identified as Pseudoalteromonas arctica as the result of 16S rRNA analysis. The exopolysaccharide, P-21653, was purified completely from the KOPRI 21653 cell culture via column chromatography and protease treatment. The principal sugar components of P-21653 were determined to be galactose and glucose, at a ratio of 1:1.5, via GC-MS analysis. The cryoprotective activity of P-21653 was characterized via an E. coli viability test. In the presence of 0.1% (w/v) P-21653, the survival ratio of E. coli cells was as high as 82.6% over three repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The survival ratio decreased drastically to 71.5 and 48.1 %, respectively, in five and seven repeated cycle conditions; however, the survival ratios were greater over three (96.6-92.1%) to seven (100.5-91.6%) freeze-thaw cycles in the presence of 0.5 and 1.0% (w/v) P-21653. In addition, at much lower concentrations (0.1-1.0%), P-21653 resulted in survival ratios (83.1-98.4%) similar to those of two commercially available cryoprotectants ($V_{EG}$ plus X-1000, 92.9% and $V_{M3}$, 95.3%), which were utilized at the recommended concentrations (90%). The biochemical characteristics of exopolysaccharide P-21653 reflect that this compound may be developed as a useful cryoprotectant for use in medical applications and in the food industry.

  • 남극 세종 과학 기지가 위치하고 있는 바톤반도는 눈과 식생이 주를 이루고 있고, 기후변화와 같은 환경변화에 민감하게 반응한다. 극지역의 지표 모니터링은 기후변화 이해를 위해 중요하다. 그러나 극 지역은 접근성 및 공간규모로 인해 지속적으로 모니터링 하기에 어려움이 있다. 위성영상은 지속적으로 동일지역을 모니터링 할 수 있다는 장점과 함께 다중분광영역을 이용하여 지표의 상태를 파악하는데 효율적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바톤반도의 지표의 상태를 지속적으로 모니터링하기 위한 기초자료로 KOMPSAT-2 다중 분광 위성영상을 이용하여 토지피복분류를 수행하였고, 나아가 분류된 토지피복 중 식생 종의 분포를 파악하였다. 다중분광영상인 KOMPSAT-2 위성영상과 현장관측자료를 이용하여 계층적 분류를 수행하였고 정확도를 평가하였다. 전반적으로 식생지역과 비식생 지역이 명확하게 분류되었으나 식생 종 분류에는 낮은 정확도를 보였다.

  • Potatoes were first introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago, and have become an integral part of much of the world's food. Potatoes were first introduced into Europe in the 16th century and Korea in the early 19th century. Potatoes have a short growing season, high production per unit area, relatively strong environmental adaptability, and are cultivated in more than 130 countries around the world. It is the world's fourth-largest crop, following rice, wheat, bean and maize. In the nutritional aspects, potatoes contain abundant vitamins and minerals, as well as an assortment of phytochemicals such as carotenoids and natural phenols. Due to the high content of potato functional compounds, it has known that potatoes are effective in the prevention of various human diseases. In particular, the potato contains a large amount of polar compounds, including the saponin in the polar compounds, and the physiological activity of the saponins, such as immunity enhancement, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory is known. In this study, the antioxidative activity of polar compounds from five potatoes was examined by cell based anti-oxidation assay. The smallest amount of ROS(Reactive oxygen species) was generated when the compound was derived from 'Haryung' and 'hongyoung' and strong SOD(Superoxide dismutase) activity was observed in 'Sumi' and 'Jayoung'. The results of this study reveal the antioxidative effect of polar compounds extracted from various kind of potatoes, which will enable the acquisition of new bioactive candidates and the establishment of new profit generation models for farmers

  • 이 연구는 초·중등 학생의 극지 소양 함양을 위해 개발된 극지 소양 교육 프로그램을 적용한 효과를 평가하고, 기후 변화 대응 교육을 위한 시사점을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. Polar-ICE 단체가 정립한 7가지 극지 소양 원리를 중심으로 개발한 모듈식 프로그램 중 과학개념을 강조한 프로그램과 인문학과 사회학적 쟁점을 강조한 프로그램 등 두 과정에 적합한 세부 프로그램을 선정해서 구조화했다. 이들 두 가지 프로그램은 서울 소재 대학 과학교육과에서 주최한 토요 과학교실에서 초등학생과 중학생 26명에게 약 69시간에 걸쳐 적용되었다. 26명의 학생을 세 집단으로 나누어 두 집단에게는 각각 극지 소양을 위한 과학 교육 프로그램과 인문 사회학적 쟁점 교육 프로그램을 실시했고, 나머지 한 집단은 극지 소양과 관련 없는 일반 과학 교육을 적용하여 대조군이 되었다. 프로그램을 적용하기 전후에 세 집단의 학생들은 모두 동일하게 극지 소양 검사와 극지에 대한 연상 단어와 장면을 진술하는 설문에 응답했다. 검사 결과는 비모수검정 방법인 Wilcoxon의 대응쌍 부호순위로 나타내어 프로그램 적용 전후의 향상도를 비교했다. 연구 결과 인지적 측면에서 실험군과 대조군 모두 지식 측면에서 프로그램 적용 후 향상이 나타났으나 실험군이 대조군 보다 향상의 정도가 더 컸으며, 명시적으로 다룬 내용이나 소재에서 특히 분명한 차이를 나타냈다. 정의적 측면에서 프로그램 전후의 차이는 그다지 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 인문 사회학적 쟁점을 다루었던 집단은 통계적으로 유의미한 향상을 보였다. 극지 심상의 변화는 실험 집단인 두 집단이 대조 집단에 비해 단조로운 이미지에서 좀 더 다양한 이미지로 분산되는 경향이 보였다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 극지 소양 원리 과학 교육 프로그램의 효과를 높이기 위해 유의할 점, 과학적 사고를 함양하고 지구계 교육에 도움이 되는 소재로 활용할 필요성, 극지에 대한 태도를 향상하기 위한 방안, 기후 위기 대응을 준비하는 학교 교육 과정과의 연계 등의 시사점을 제안했다.

  • This study investigates spatial and temporal variations in the generation and propagation of internal tides around the Korea Strait using a three-dimensional high resolution model (Regional Ocean Modeling System; ROMS). The model results were verified through comparison with in-situ current measurements from an array of 12 acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) deployed in the Korea Strait. Fluxes and distributions of internal tidal energy were calculated using simulation results gathered in February and August. Our analyses reveal that energetic semidiurnal internal tides are generated in a region around the Korea Strait shelf break ($35.5^{\circ}N$, $130^{\circ}{\sim}130.5^{\circ}E$), where the strong cross-slope semidiurnal barotropic tidal currents interact with a sudden topographical change. The semidiurnal internal tidal energy generated in summer displays values about twice as large as values in winter. Propagation of semidiurnal internal tides also reveals seasonal variability. In February, most of the semidiurnal internal tides propagate only into the open basin of the East Sea due to weak stratification in the Korea Strait, which inhibits their southwestward propagation. In August, they propagate southwestward to $35.2^{\circ}N$ along the western channel of the Korea Strait because of strong stratification. In addition, semidiurnal internal tides generated in a region west of Tsushima Island are found to propagate to the coast of Busan. This can be explained by the intensified stratification due to the strong intrusion of bottom cold water in the western channel of the Korea Strait during summer.

  • For the purpose of understanding the cloud scattering effect of UV radiation at King Sejong station In West Antarctica, we analyzed the data measured by UV-Biometer at surface and compared its result with solar radiation model. The parameterization of UV radiation by cloud ice crystal was applied to solar radiation model and the sensitivity of this model for the variation of ice crystal was tested. The cloud optical thickness was calculated by using this solar radiation model. It was compared the result from calculation with CERES satellite data. In solar radiation model, the UV radiation was less scattered with increase of ice crystal size in cloud and this scattering effect was more important to UV-A radiation than Erythemal UV-B radiation. But scattering effects by altitude of cloud was not serious. The calculated cloud optical thicknesses in Erythemal UV-B and UV-A region were compared with CERES satellite data and the result by UV-A was more accurate than Erythemal UV-B region.

  • We performed high-resolution three-dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to study the interaction between the Earth's magnetosphere and a prolonged steady southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) (Bz = -2nT) and slow solar wind. The simulation results show that dayside magnetic reconnection continuously occurs at the subsolar region where the magnetosheath magnetic field is antiparallel to the geomagnetic field. The plasmoid developed on closed plasma sheet field lines. We found that the vortex was generated at the magnetic equator such as (X, Y) = (7.6, 8.9) RE due to the viscous-like interaction, which was strengthened by dayside reconnection. The magnetic field and plasma properties clearly showed quasiperiodic variations with a period of 8-10 min across the vortex. Additionally, double twin parallel vorticity in the polar region was clearly seen. The peak value of the cross-polar cap potential fluctuated between 17 and 20 kV during the tail reconnection.
