The rapid and accurate identification of biological agents is a critical step in the case of bio-terror and biological warfare attacks. Recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry has been widely used for the identification of microorganisms. In this study, we describe a method for the rapid and accurate discrimination of Bacillus anthracis spores using MALDI-TOF MS. Our direct in-situ analysis of MALDI-TOF MS does not involve subsequent high-resolution mass analyses and sample preparation steps. This method allowed the detection of species-specific biomarkers from each Bacillus spores. Especially, B. anthracis spores had specific biomarker peaks at 2503, 3089, 3376, 6684, 6698, 6753, and 6840 m/z. Cluster and PCA analyses of the mass spectra of Bacillus spores revealed distinctively separated clusters and within-groups similarity. Therefore, we believe that this method is effective in the real-time identification of biological warfare agents such as B. anthracis as well as other microorganisms in the field.

재난상황하에서는 신속한 지역단위 재난복구를 전문적으로 담당하는 인력이 필요하다. 그러나, 현재의 재난대응체계에서는 대민지원, 자원봉사 등 수준에서 재난복구를 시행하고 있으므로 전문성 부족으로 인한 초기대응 및 재난복구 지연, 재난 지속시 대응 미흡 등 다양한 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 그러므로, 재난상황시 지자체단위 초기 대응능력 구비와 신속히 재난복구를 할 수 있는 전문성을 가진 부대의 창설이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 재난상황하 긴급 재난복구를 통한 지역안정과 재해 주민구호, 재난이전으로의 신속한 전환을 위한 예비군 긴급대응부대를 창설과 운용방안 수준의 방향성을 제시하였다.

초임계 분출법(RECC)을 미립자 코팅에 이용하였다. 본 실험은 반응관 중심부에 위치한 노즐을 갖고 있는 유동층 내부에서 수행하였다. 핵입자로는 glass beads(500~590$\mu$m, 74$\mu$149$\mu$m)와 brilliant blut로 피복된 glass beads의 두 종류를 사용하였다. paraffin이 용해된 초임계 $CO_2$는 공기에 의해 유동중인 유동층 내부 노즐을 통해 분무시켰다. 핵입자 표면에 코팅물질이 피복됨을 SEM과 FT-IR에 의한 분석을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 코팅 전호 brilliant blue의 용출특성을 ABC로 조사한 결과 코팅입자의 용출특성이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Unburned hydrocarbon is a key contributor to both the fuel economy and emissions of automotive engine. Cyclic variation of HC emission is of importance, especially during throttle transients. The real time measurement of hydrocarbon is particularly important to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms for combustion and emissions, especially during cold start and throttle transient condition. This paper reports the cycle resolved measurement technique of unburned hydrocarbons to quantify rapid changes of in-cylinder concentration in the vicinity of spark plug by using the Fast Response Flame Ionization Detector(FRFID). While this instrument actually measures fuel concentration, its results can be indicative of the AFR behaviour. In order to understand the rapid change of hydrocarbons with cylinder pressure, it is necessary to study the response time delay of the system, including the time associated with gas transportation to FID. And signal from FRFID is correlated with cylinder pressure data to relate changes in mixture preparation to the classic analysis, such as indicated mean effective(IMEF) and ignition delay, etc.

대기부유분진(air particulate material)중에 존재하는 다환방향족탄화수소(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAH)를 신속하고 정확하게 분석하기 위하여 대기부유분진 시료를 10ml의 초임계유체($N_2O$ )로 30분간 추출 후 별도의 전처리와 농축과정 없이 GC/MS에서 분석하여 분석시간과 분석과정을 단축 및 단순화하였다. 시료로서 NBS 대기부유분진 인증표준기준물질(certified particulate reference material, CRM)1649와 서울의 도심에서 채취한 대기부유분진 시료를 이용하여 기존의 추출법 및 분석방법과 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 분석방법은 기존의 분석법에 비해 회수율은 상대적으로 작았으나 재현성이 좋았으며 분석과정이 간단하고 분석시간이 현저히 단축됨을 알 수 있었다.

방향족 니트로 화합물을 선택적으로 환원시켜 치환체가 있는 아닐린을 생성하는 것은 산업적 측면에서 볼때 의미있는 반응이다. 본 연구에서는 Bakers' Yeast-NaOH의 환원작용에 의하여 m-Bromonitrobenzene 의 니트로기가 선택적으로 빠르게 환원되어 치환체가 있는 아닐린 화합물이 형성됨을 확인하였고 특히 Nitrosobenzene이 수산화 나트륨이 없는 조건에서 Bakers' Yeast만의 작용에 의해 환원되어 아닐린을 생성함을 확인하였다. 또한 Nitrosobenzene의 Bakers' Yeast 환원에 미치는 저해제들의 효과 및 온도, pH의 영향 등을 조사하였다.

CD4+ T-cell count determines the effectiveness for antiretroviral therapy (ART) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although ART slows the progression of HIV to AIDS, rapid counting of CD4+ T lymphocytes with a drop of patient's blood sample is urgently needed to ensure timely ART treatment in rural areas. Recently point-of-care CD4 testing devices have been developed by using non-flow based imaging cytometer incorporated with a sample cartridge where CD4+ T cells are reacted with fluorescently tagged specific antibodies. Here we conducted an experimental study using a conventional fluorescence microscope-based imaging system to quantitate the interaction of CD4 antibodies with CD4+ T cells at different reaction conditions. We demonstrated that a fast and affordable point-of-care CD4 test is feasible with a far less amount of antibodies and a shorter incubation time compared with a conventional sample preparation protocol for flow cytometry. We also proposed a general method to evaluate and compare the detection limit across different CD4 counting platforms by using fluorescently labelled microbeads for intensity calibration.

마이크로웨이브 반응 장치 (Synthos 3000 Aton Paar, GmbH, 1400 W maximum magnetron)를 이용하여, diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/와 1-hydroxybenzotriazoles (HOXt) (X = A or B)를 반응시켜서 amino acid hydrazide를 효율적으로 합성할 수 있는 반응 조건을 개발하였다. 일반적인 가열반응과 마이크로웨이브 반응을 반응 시간, 반응 조건 등을 비교하였을 때에, 마이크로웨이브 반응이 보다 효율적으로 진행되었으며, diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)와 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) 반응에서보다는 diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)와 7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOAt)를 반응시켰을 때에 좋은 수율 (95 - 98%)로 얻어졌다.

Lotus is one of the most important aquatic vegetables in China. Previously, we detected sweet potato latent virus from lotus (SPLV-lotus) and found that it has highly significant sequence diversity with SPLV-sweet potato isolates (SPLV-sp). Here, we developed serological methods for the detection of SPLV-lotus in Chinese lotus cultivation areas. Based on the high sensitivity of SPLV-lotus coat protein antiserum, rapid, sensitive and large-scale diagnosis methods of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and dot blot in lotus planting area were developed. The established ELISA and dot blot diagnostic methods can be used to detect SPLV-lotus from samples successfully. And our results also showed that the SPLV-lotus and sweet potato isolates appeared clearly distinction in serology. Our study provides a high-throughput, sensitive, and rapid diagnostic method based on serology that can detect SPLV on lotus, which is suggested to be included in viral disease management approach due to its good detection level.

The present study is focused on the mechanical and durability properties of ternary blended cement concrete mix of different grades 30 MPa, 50 MPa and 70 MPa. Three mineral admixtures (fly ash, silica fume and lime sludge) were used as a partial replacement of cement in the preparation of blended concrete mix. The durability of ternary blended cement concrete mix was studied by exposing it to acids HCl and $H_2SO_4$ at 5% concentration. Acid mass loss factors (AMLF), acid strength loss factor (ASLF) and acid durability factor (ADF) were determined, and the results were compared with the control mix. Chloride ions penetration was investigated by conducting rapid chlorination penetration test and accelerated corrosion penetration test on control mix and ternary blended cement concrete. From the results, it was evident that the usage of these mineral admixtures is having a beneficiary role on the strength as well as durability properties. The results inferred that the utilization of these materials as a partial replacement of cement have significantly enhanced the compressive strength of blended concrete mix in 30 MPa, 50 MPa and 70 MPa by 42.95%, 32.48% and 22.79%. The blended concrete mix shown greater resistance to acid attack compared to control mix concrete. Chloride ion ingress of the blended cement concrete mix was low compared to control mix implying the beneficiary role of mineral admixtures.
