The current study was designed to estimate the pork quality traits using metabolites from exsanguination blood and postmortem muscle simultaneously under the Korean standard pre- and post-slaughter conditions. A total of 111 Yorkshire (pure breed and castrated male) pigs were evaluated under the Korean standard conditions. Measurements were taken of the levels of blood glucose and lactate at exsanguination, and muscle glycogen and lactate content at 45 min and 24 h postmortem. Certain pork quality traits were also evaluated. Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis including stepwise regression were performed. Exsanguination blood glucose and lactate levels were positively correlated with each other, negatively related to postmortem muscle glycogen content and positively associated with postmortem muscle lactate content. A rapid and extended postmortem glycolysis was associated with high levels of blood glucose and lactate, with high muscle lactate content, and with low muscle glycogen content during postmortem. In addition, these were also correlated with paler meat color and reduced water holding capacity. The results of multiple regression analyses also showed that metabolites in exsanguination blood and postmortem muscle explained variations in pork quality traits. Especially, levels of blood glucose and lactate and content of muscle glycogen at early postmortem were significantly associated with an elevated early glycolytic rate. Furthermore, muscle lactate content at 24 h postmortem alone accounted for a considerable portion of the variation in pork quality traits. Based on these results, the current study confirmed that the main factor influencing pork quality traits is the ultimate lactate content in muscle via postmortem glycolysis, and that levels of blood glucose and lactate at exsanguination and contents of muscle glycogen and lactate at postmortem can explain a large portion of the variation in pork quality even under the standard slaughter conditions.

세계적으로 해양산업은 크루즈산업에 많은 관심과 연구가 대폭적으로 이루어지고 있고 우리나라도 미래의 잠재력 있는 국가동력산업의 하나로 인식하고는 있으나 크루즈산업의 연구동향 분석 연구는 국내외에 활발히 이루어지고 있지 않다. 따라서 우선 세계 크루즈산업을 연구하고 이해하기 위해서는 최근에 다양한 산업에 대한 연구동향을 분석한 방법을 활용하여 크루즈산업에도 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 외국 유명저널에 발표된 크루즈산업과 관련된 학술논문에서 제시하고 있는 키워드와 논문을 매개로 한 키워드 네트워크를 구축하여 복잡계의 네트워크 분석에서 사용하는 연결 중심성과 매개 중심성 분석방법으로 시대별로 나누어 시각화하여 살펴봄으로써 세계 크루즈산업의 연구동향을 심층적으로 관찰하여 논의하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 제시된 키워드 빈도는 Zipf의 법칙을 따르고 노드의 연결정도는 멱함수 분포를 보여주고 있어 언어네트워크에서 분석하는 키워드 네트워크와 동일함을 관찰한다. 연구방법론으로는 키워드 네트워크 분석을 위하여 사회연결망 프로그램인 넷마이너 4.0을 사용하여 여러 가지 중심성 측정방법 중 키워드 상위 20개의 빈도순위를 비교하여 빈도순위와 가장 가까운 중심성 측정방법을 선택하여 크루즈산업의 연구동향을 분석한다. 특히 크루즈산업의 연구동향이 연도 기간별로 어떠한 변화를 가져왔는지를 살펴보기 위해 2000년 이전과 2000년 이후로 크게 대별하여 나누고 2000년 이후에는 5년 주기로 각 기간별 공통적으로 나타나는 연결 중심성이 높은 최상위의 키워드인 cruise와 tourism 노드를 중심으로 매개 중심성이 높은 것들의 키워드 네트워크를 시각화하여 논의한다. 연구결과에서 흥미롭게도 2010-2014의 기간에 새로운 노드로 China가 등장하여 최상위의 키워드들을 연결하고 있는 것은 최근 급성장하고 있는 중국의 크루즈산업의 발전 양상을 보여준다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 사용하는 키워드 네트워크 분석은 각 연도 기간별 네트워크의 다른 종류의 숫자와 크고 작은 중심축 군집 네트워크의 숫자의 증감뿐 아니라 중심축 군집 네트워크의 중심에 있는 키워드 간의 연결 분석을 용이하게 해주어 기간별 연구동향을 파악하는데 유용한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Age-related osteopenia and osteoporosis are common in postmenopausal women due to decrease in bone mass and ovarian function. A therapy for osteoporosis would depend on only drugs to inhibit bone loss, hormonal replacement therapy, exercise and dietary supplementation and it is very hard to fad an ideal therapy for osteoporosis as yet. Chlorella which is rich in minerals such as calcium magnesium fatty acids, vitamins and sterol, could be applicable for prevention and co-treatment of osteoporosis, but it has yet to be studied. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the effect of dietary chlorella on bone mineral density (BMD) and nutritional improvement. BMD was measured in the femural neck and lumber spine portion. Nutritional and bone turnover markers from blood samples were assessed serum lkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, number of erythrocytes and total protein. Studies for the femur neck measurement showed that normal BMD increased 2.1% for the group fed chlorella supplemented diet for four month and increased 6.6% fur group treated for one year when compared to the control group, and for the lumber spine measurements the few month group showed an increase of 9.1% over the control group, the one year group showed an increase of 64.2% over the control group. Hemoglobin content, number of erythrocytes and total protein showed similar increased patterns with BMD measurement, meanwhile, serum alkaline phosphatase increased 3% for the four month group and decrease 16% for the one year group compare to the control group. In conclusion, the postmenopausal women fed chlorella supplemented diet results in an increase in BMD. This is a marked increment in lumber spine, enhancement of nutritional state and stable bone turnover. This data showed a positive relationship between BMD and nutritional change with chlorella treatment, and suggested that chlorella dietary may lead to improving and preventing rapid loss of BMD in postmenopausal women.

Recently, multiferroic materials gain much attention due to their fascinating fundamental physical properties. These materials offer wide range of potential applications such as data storage, spintronic devices and sensors, where both electronic and magnetic polarizations can be coupled. Among single-phase multiferroic materials, $BiFeO_3$ is typical because of the room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling in view of long-range magnetic- and ferroelectric-ordering temperatures. However, $BiFeO_3$ is well known to have large leakage current and small spontaneous polarization due to the existence of oxygen vacancies and other defects. Furthermore the magnetic moment of pure $BiFeO_3$ is very weak owing to its antiferromagnetic nature. Recently, various attempts have been performed to improve the multiferroic properties of $BiFeO_3$ through the co-doping at the A and the B sites, by making use of the fact that the intrinsic polarization and magnetization are associated with the lone pair of $Bi^{3+}$ ions at the A sites and the partially-filled 3d orbitals of $Fe^{3+}$ ions at the B sites, respectively. In this study, $BiFeO_3$, $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}FeO_3$, $BiFe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ and $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}Fe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ bulk compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering. High-purity $Bi_2O_3$, $Ho_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ and $NiO_2$ powders with the stoichiometric proportions were mixed, and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce the samples. The samples were immediately put into an oven, which was heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 1 h. The crystalline structure of samples was investigated at room temperature by using a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer. The field-dependent and temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating-sample magnetometer and superconducting quantum-interference device.

남조류와 crytomonads를 포함한 식물플랑크톤의 일차적 형광특성을 in vivo 상태에서 조사하였다. 형광과 exciatation 스펙트럼을 측정한 견과, 약 580-640 nm 영역에 걸친 형광 스펙트럼이, 조사된 모든 식물플랑크톤으로부터 얻어졌다. 관찰된 형광 스펙트럼의 $\lambda_{max}$ 값은, Synechofoccus sp.(SYN)을 제외하고 모두 유사한 것으로 나타났다 $(\pm3nm)$. 관찰된 형광 스펙트럼의 형광소(fluorophore)를 밝히기 위하여, 식물플랑크톤의 형광 스펙트럼의 세기와 모양, $\lambda_{max}$를 식물플랑크톤에 존재하는 유기화합물의 표준용액의 것과 비교하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 fluorescence $lifetime(\lambda)$과 fluorescence decay curve를 식물플랑크톤에 존재하는 유기화합물의 표준용액의 $\lambda$값과 비교하였다. 580 nm의 형광 파장을 사용하여 얻은 식물플랑크톤의 fluorescence decay는 menoex-ponential과 biexponential decay를 보였으며, 식물플랑크톤의 $\lambda(1.39-1.95ns)$ b-phycoerythrin의 표준용액의 $\lambda(3.23ns)$값보다 현저히 작게 나타났다. 이는 이미 알려진 광합성 능력을 가진 intact cell 내부에서 엽록소 a와 biliprotein간의 효율적인 에너지 전달 체계에 의한 $\lambda$값의 단축으로 여겨지며, 580nm의 형광특성이 biliprotein에 의한 것임을 보여준다.

In this study, we analyzed long-term measurements and air quality simulation results of four criteria air pollutants ($PM_{10}$, $O_3$, $NO_2$, and $SO_2$) for 10 years, from 2006 to 2015, with emphasis on trends of annual variabilities. With the observation data, we conducted spatial interpolation using the Kriging method to estimate spatial distribution of pollutant concentrations. We also performed air quality simulations using the CMAQ model to consider the nonlinearity of the secondary air pollutants such as $O_3$ and the influence of long-range transport. In addition, these simulations are used to deduce the effect of long-term meteorological variations on trends of air quality changes because we fixed the emissions inventory while changing meteorological inputs. The nation-wide inter-annual variability of modeled $PM_{10}$ concentrations was $-0.11{\mu}g/m^3/yr$, while that of observed concentrations was $-0.84{\mu}g/m^3/yr$. For the Seoul Metropolitan Area, the inter-annual variability of observed $PM_{10}$ concentrations was $-1.64{\mu}g/m^3/yr$ that is two times rapid improvement compared to other regions. On the other hand, the inter-annual variability of observed $O_3$ concentrations is 0.62 ppb/yr which is larger than the simulated result of 0.13 ppb/yr. Magnitudes of differences between the modeled and observed inter-annual variabilities indicated that decreasing trend of $PM_{10}$ and increasing trend of $O_3$ are more influenced by emissions and oxidation states than meteorological conditions. We also found similar patterns in $NO_2$. However, $NO_2$ trends showed greater regional and seasonal differences than other pollutants. The analytic approach used in this study can be applicable to estimate changes in factors determining air quality such as emissions, weather, and surrounding conditions over a long term. Then analysis results can be used as important data for air quality management planning and evaluation of the chronic impact of air quality.

Plasma in liquid phase has attracted great attention in the last few years by the wide domain of applications in material processing, decomposition of organic and inorganic chemical compounds and sterilization of water. The plasma in liquid is characterized by three main regions which interact each - other during the plasma operation: the liquid phase, which supply the plasma gas phase with various chemical compounds and ions, the plasma in the gas phase at atmospheric pressure and the interface between these two regions. The most complex region, but extremely interesting from the fundamental, chemical and physical processes which occur here, is the boundary between the liquid phase and the plasma gas phase. In our laboratory, plasma in liquid which behaves as a glow discharge type, is generated by using a bipolar pulsed power supply, with variable pulse width, in the range of 0.5~10 ${\mu}s$ and 10 to 30 kHz repetition rate. Plasma in water and other different solutions was characterized by electrical and optical measurements. Strong emissions of OH and H radicals dominate the optical spectra. Generally water with 500 ${\mu}S/cm$ conductivity has a breakdown voltage around 2 kV, depending on the pulse width and the repetition rate of the power supply. The characteristics of the plasma initiated in ultrapure water between pairs of different materials used for electrodes (W and Ta) were investigated by the time-resolved optical emission and the broad-band absorption spectroscopy. The deexcitation processes of the reactive species formed in the water plasma depend on the electrode material, but have been independent on the polarity of the applied voltage pulses. Recently, Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy method was employed to investigate the chemistry in the liquid phase and at the interface between the gas and the liquid phases of the solution plasma system. The use of the solution plasma allows rapid fabrication of the metal nanoparticles without being necessary the addition of different reducing agents, because plasma in the liquid phase provides a reaction field with a highly excited energy radicals. We successfully synthesized gold nanoparticles using a glow discharge in aqueous solution. Nanoparticles with an average size of less than 10 nm were obtained using chlorauric acid solutions as the metal source. Carbon/Pt hybrid nanostructures have been obtained by treating carbon balls, synthesized in a CVD chamber, with hexachloro- platinum acid in a solution plasma system. The solution plasma was successfully used to remove the template remained after the mesoporous silica synthesis. Surface functionalization of the carbon structures and the silica surface with different chemical groups and nanoparticles, was also performed by processing these materials in the liquid plasma.

최근 식생이 분포하는 면적, 식생의 크기와 같은 형상 정보를 포인트 클라우드 형식의 3차원 형태로 획득할 수 있는 Laser Scanning (LS)을 활용하는 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 식생의 물리적 형상 구현을 위해 LS를 활용할 경우, 식생 정보를 보다 정밀하고 빠르게 취득할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 측정 혹은 후처리 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 불확실성을 검토하기 위해 실제 데이터와 비교하여 보정하는 과정이 반드시 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인공적으로 조성된 하천 수로 내 목본 식생의 줄기, 가지, 잎의 물리적 구조에 대한 매뉴얼 조사를 수행하고 이를 3차원 Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS)에 의해 획득한 정보와 비교하였다. 또한, 목표 식생에 대한 3차원 TLS는 여러 방향에서 반복적으로 스캐닝을 수행하여 획득되는 식생 정보의 정밀도를 향상하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 식생의 직경과 줄기의 길이는 두 방법의 결과가 큰 차이가 없으나 가지의 길이를 측정할 경우, 포인트 클라우드 정보로는 캐노피 영역에서 가지와 잎의 정확한 구별이 어렵다는 한계점으로 상대적으로 큰 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Mitochondria play key roles in the production of cell's energy. Their dominant function is the synthesis of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate (Pi) through the oxidative phosphorylation. Evaluation of drug-induced mitochondrial toxicity has become increasingly important since mitochondrial dysfunction has recently been implicated in numerous diseases including cancer and diabetes mellitus. Mitochondrial functions have been monitored via oxygen consumption, mitochondrial membrane potential, and more importantly via ATP synthesis since ATP synthesis is the most essential function of mitochondria. Various analytical methods have been employed to investigate ATP synthesis in mitochondria, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), bioluminescence technique, and pH measurement. However, most of these methods are based on destructive analysis or indirect monitoring through the enzymatic reaction. Infrared absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) is one of the useful techniques for real-time, label-free, and direct monitoring of biological reactions [1,2]. However, the strong water absorption requires very short path length in the order of several micrometers. Transmission measurements with thin path length are not suitable for mitochondrial assays because solution handlings necessary for evaluating mitochondrial toxicity, such as rapid mixing of drugs and oxygen supply, are difficult in such a narrow space. On the other hand, IRAS in the multiple internal reflection (MIR) geometry provides an ideal optical configuration to combine solution handling and aqueous-phase measurement. We have recently reportedon a real-time monitoring of drug-induced necrotic and apoptotic cell death using MIR-IRAS [3,4]. Clear discrimination between viable and damaged cells has been demonstrated, showing a promise as a label-free and real-time detection for cell-based assays. In the present study, we have applied our MIR-IRAS system to mitochondria-based assays by monitoring ATP synthesis in isolated mitochondria from rat livers. Mitochondrial ATP synthesis and hydrolysis were in situ monitored with MIR-IRAS, while dissolved oxygen level and solution pH were simultaneously monitored with O2 and pH electrodes, respectively. It is demonstrated that ATP synthesis and hydrolysis can be monitored by the IR spectral changes in phosphate groups in adenine nucleotides and MIR-IRAS is useful for evaluating time-dependent drug effects of mitochondrial toxicants.

쌀밥에 곡류나 두류를 적당히 혼합하면 쌀에 부족된 영양적인면을 보완할 수 있으나 혼합취반에 따른 번거로움 때문에 쉽게 일상화되지 못하고 있는 실정을 감안하여 현미, 보리, 밀, 조, 수수, 콩, 팥 등의 원료를 일차 분쇄하고 혼합한 후 쌍축압출성형기를 사용하여 쌀알 형태로 성형하였다. 원료의 기본배합비를 현미 30%, 보리 30%, 밀 20%, 조 5%, 수수 5%, 콩 7%, 팥 3%로 결정하였으며 원료의 배합비율에 따른 압출성형조건으로 스크류 속도는 250 rpm, 가수율은 $24{\sim}30%$, 배럴온도는 $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 성형물의 팽화를 억제함과 동시에 $5{\times}0.8mm$ 직사각형의 토출구를 사용하고 절단칼의 회전속도 등을 조절하여 재성형 혼합곡을 성공적으로 제조하였다. 재성형 혼합곡립의 크기와 형태는 단립종 백미와 유사하였고 체적은 백미에 비해 약간 높았으며 침지에 의한 수화속도가 빨라 수분흡수율이 높게 나타났다. 취반 후 혼합곡립의 경도는 백미에 비해 약간 낮았고 부착성은 높았다. 압출성형기법을 이용하여 제조한 재성형 혼합곡은 쌀밥에 영양성, 간편성, 기호성을 보충시킬 수 있는 주식개념의 혼합곡으로서의 가치가 매우 큰 것으로 판단되었다.
