Background: Rapid identification and subtype determination of influenza virus is important in managing infected patients. Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) are widely used in this manner, but most can only detect influenza A and B viruses without subtyping. A new RIDT, GENEDIA Multi Influenza Ag Rapid Test (GENEDIA), was developed for detection of influenza A and B viruses and also subtyping of influenza A to H1, H3, H5 which has not been possible with other RIDTs. Objectives: Assess the performance of GENEDIA. Study design: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 274 clinically suspected patients (influenza A/H1N½009 (n=50), influenza A/H3 (n=50), influenza B (n=73) and influenza-negative (n=101)) and analyzed with the real-time RT-PCR, GENEDIA, SD Bioline Influenza Ag, and Alere BinaxNow Influenza A&B Card. Also, 46 fecal specimens (H5N2 (n=3), H5N3 (n=3)) of spot-billed duck were analyzed with RT-PCR and GENEDIA. Results: Compared to real-time RT-PCR, the sensitivities of GENEDIA, SD Bioline Influenza Ag, and Alere BinaxNow Influenza A&B Card were 73.0%, 57.0%, 58.0% for influenza A, respectively, and 68.5%, 65.8%, 57.5% for influenza B, respectively. Specifically, the sensitivity of GENEDIA was 70.0% for influenza A/H1N½009 and 76.0% for influenza A/H3. From the avian influenza samples, GENEDIA detected all six H5 subtype without any cross-reactions. Conclusion: The GENEDIA Multi Influenza Ag Rapid Test was sensitive in detecting influenza viruses compared with other commercial RIDTs and also useful for rapid subtype determination of influenza A.

순환전압전류 및 교류임피던스 기법을 이용하여 다결정 $0.5M\;H_2SO_4$수용액 계면에서 음극 $H_2$발생 반응을 위한 과전위 전착(흡착)된 수소의 Langmuir흡착등온식을 연구조사 하였다. 다결정 $Au|0.5M\;H_2SO_4$수용액 계면에서, 최적중간주파수일 때 위상이동 $(0^{\circ}\leq{-\phi}\leq90^{\circ})$ 거동은 표면피복율$(1\geq{\theta}\geq0)$ 거동에 정확하게 상응한다. 최적중간주 파수일 때 위상이동 변화 $({-\phi}\;vs.\;E)$즉 위상이동 방법은 다결정 $Au|0.5M\;H_2SO_4$수용액 계면에서 음극 $H_2$발생 반응을 위한 과전위 전착(흡착)된 수소의 Langmuir 흡착등온식$(\theta\;vs.\;E)$을 추정할 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 사용될 수 있다. 다결정 $Au|0.5M\;H_2SO_4$ 수용액 계면에서, 과전위 전착(흡착)된 수소의 흡착평형상수(K)와 표준자유에너지 $({\Delta}G_{ads})$는 각각 $2.3\times10^{-6}$과 $32.2kJ\;mol^{-1}$이다. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm of the over-potentially deposited hydrogen (OPD H) for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reaction (HER) at the $poly-Au|0.5M\;H_2SO_4$ aqueous electrolyte interface has been studied using cyclic voltammetric and ac impedance techniques. The behavior of the phase shift $(0^{\circ}\leq{-\phi}\leq90^{\circ})$ for the optimum intermediate frequency corresponds well to that of the fractional surface coverage $(1\geq{\theta}\geq0)$ at the interface. The phase-shift profile $({-\phi}\;vs.\;E)$ for the optimum intermediate frequency, i.e., the phase-shift method, can be used as a new method to estimate the Langmuir adsorption isotherm $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$ of the OPD H for the cathodic HER at the interface. At the poly-$Au|0.5M\;H_2SO_4$ electrolyte interface, the equilibrium constant (K) and standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{ads})$ of the OPD H are $2.3\times10^{-6}\;and\;32.2\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$, respectively.

Chun Jang-H.,Jeon Sang-K.,Chun Jin-Y. The Korean Electrochemical Society 2006 한국전기화학회지 Vol.9 No.1

The phase-shift method for determining the Langmuir, Frumkin, and Temkin adsorption isotherms ($\theta_H\;vs.\;E$) of H for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reaction (HER) at a Pt/0.1 M KOH solution interface has been proposed and verified using cyclic voltammetric, differential pulse voltammetric, and electrochemical impedance techniques. At the Pt/0.1 M KOH solution interface, the Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms ($\theta_H\;vs.\;E$), the equilibrium constants ($K_H=2.9X10^{-4}mol^{-1}$ for the Langmuir and $K_H=2.9X10^{-3}\exp(-4.6\theta_H)mol^{-1}$ for the Temkin adsorption isotherm), the interaction parameters (g=0 far the Langmuir and g=4.6 for the Temkin adsorption isotherm), the rate of change of the standard free energy of $\theta_H\;with\;\theta_H$ (r=11.4 kJ $mol^{-1}$ for g=4.6), and the standard free energies (${\Delta}G_{ads}^{\circ}=20.2kJ\;mol^{-1}$ for $k_H=2.9\times10^{-4}mol^{-1}$, i.e., the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and $16.7<{\Delta}G_\theta^{\circ}<23.6kJ\;mol^{-1}$ for $K_H=2.9\times10^{-3}\exp(-4.6\theta_H)mol^{-1}$ and $0.2<\theta_H<0.8$, i.e., the Temkin adsorption isotherm) of H for the cathodic HER are determined using the phase-shift method. At intermediate values of $\theta_H$, i.e., $0.2<\theta_H<0.8$, the Temkin adsorption isotherm ($\theta_H\;vs.\;E$) corresponding to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm ($\theta_H\;vs.\;E$), and vice versa, is readily determined using the constant conversion factors. The phase-shift method and constant conversion factors are useful and effective for determining the Langmuir, Frumkin, and Temkin adsorption isotherms of intermediates for sequential reactions and related electrode kinetic and thermodynamic data at electrode catalyst interfaces.

Evaluation of the zoonotic potential of a novel reassortant H1N2 swine influenza virus with gene constellation derived from multiple viral sources

Lee, J.H.,Pascua, P.N.Q.,Decano, A.G.,Kim, S.M.,Park, S.J.,Kwon, H.I.,Kim, E.H.,Kim, Y.I.,Kim, H.,Kim, S.Y.,Song, M.S.,Jang, H.K.,Park, B.K.,Choi, Y.K. Elsevier Science 2015 INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION Vol.34 No.-

In 2011-2012, contemporary North American-like H3N2 swine influenza viruses (SIVs) possessing the 2009 pandemic H1N1 matrix gene (H3N2pM-like virus) were detected in domestic pigs of South Korea where H1N2 SIV strains are endemic. More recently, we isolated novel reassortant H1N2 SIVs bearing the Eurasian avian-like swine H1-like hemagglutinin and Korean swine H1N2-like neuraminidase in the internal gene backbone of the H3N2pM-like virus. In the present study, we clearly provide evidence on the genetic origins of the novel H1N2 SIVs virus through genetic and phylogenetic analyses. In vitro studies demonstrated that, in comparison with a pre-existing 2012 Korean H1N2 SIV [A/swine/Korea/CY03-1½012 (CY03-1½012)], the 2013 novel reassortant H1N2 isolate [A/swine/Korea/CY0423/2013 (CY0423-12/2013)] replicated more efficiently in differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells. The CY0423-12/2013 virus induced higher viral titers than the CY03-1½012 virus in the lungs and nasal turbinates of infected mice and nasal wash samples of ferrets. Moreover, the 2013 H1N2 reassortant, but not the intact 2012 H1N2 virus, was transmissible to naive contact ferrets via respiratory-droplets. Noting that the viral precursors have the ability to infect humans, our findings highlight the potential threat of a novel reassortant H1N2 SIV to public health and underscore the need to further strengthen influenza surveillance strategies worldwide, including swine populations.

We investigated postpartum behaviors of sows and their litters. The aim of this study was to determine the behavioral recovery of sows and behavioral development of their piglets postpartum. Five multiparous sows(Landrace × Yorkshire) and their litters were studied over a period of 5 days postpartum. The litter size varied from 8 to 13 with a mean of 11.2 piglets. The behaviors of sows and their piglets were recorded using five CCD cameras, a multiplexer and a time lapsed VCR. The videotapes were scanned every 2 min to obtain an instantaneous behavioral sample. In the behaviors of sows, ?Lying ventrally? increased from 1h postpartum to 26g postpartum, then decreased gradually, and stabilized after 80h postpartum. ?Lying ventrally? decreased from 1h postpartum to 26h postpartum and stabilized after 80h postpartum. ?Standing, drinking and feeding? increased from 1h postpartum to 23h postpartum, then decreased gradually, and increased again from 60h postpartum. ?Sitting? increased from 1h postpartum to 46h postpartum and then decreased. In the behaviors of piglets, ?Lying? increased rapidly from 1h postpartum to 45h postpartum, and then was maintained at an almost constant level. ?Massaging and Suckling? decreased rapidly from 1h postpartum to 36g postpartum, and then was maintained at an almost constant level. ?Walking? increased from 1h postpartum to 21h postpartum, then decreased gradually. These results suggest that the behavioral recovery of the sow is almost completed at 80h postpartum and that the behavioral development of the piglet is almost completed at 45h postpartum.

순환전압전류 및 교류임피던스 기법을 이용하여 다결정 Pt/0.5M $H_2SO_4$ 및 0.5M LiOH수용액 계면에서 저전위 수소흡착(UPD H) 과 전위 수소흡착(OPD H)에 관한 Langmuir 흡착등온식 $({\theta}\;vs.\;E)$ 을 연구조사 하였다. 계면에서 치적중간주파수일 때 위상이동$(0^{\circ}{\leq}{-\phi}{\leq}90^{\circ})$ 거동은 표면피복율$(1{\geq}{\theta}{\geq}0)$ 거동에 정확하게 상응한다. 위상이 동 방법 즉 최적중간주파수일 때 위상이동 변화$({-\phi}\;vs.\;E)$는 계면에서 음극 $H_2$ 발생 반응에 관한 UPD H와 OPDH의 Langmuir흡착등온식을 결정할 수 있는 새로운 전기화학적 방법으로 사용할 수 있다 다결정 Pt/0.5M $H_2SO_4$ 수용액 계면에서 OPD H의 흡착평형상수(K)와 표준자유에너지$({\Delta}G_{ads})$는 각각 $2.1\times10^{-4}$와 21.0kJ/mol 이다. 다결정 Pt/0.5M LiOH 수용액 계면에서 K는 음전위(E)에 따라 2.7 (UPD H)에서 $6.2\times10^{-6}$ (OPD H) 또는 $6.2\times10^{-6}$(OPD H)에서 2.7 (UPD H)로 전이한다. 유사하게 ${\Delta}G_{ads}$는 E에 따라 -2.5kJ/mol (UPD H)에서 29.7kJ/mol (OPD H)또는 29.7kJ/mol (OPD H)에서 -2.5kJ/mol (UPD H)로 전이한다. K와 ${\Delta}G_{ads}$의 전이는 다결정 Pt전극 표면의 상이한 UPD H와 OPD H의 흡착부위에 기인한다. 다결정 Pt전극 계면에서 UPD H와 OPD H는 음극 $H_2$ 발생 반응에 따른 순차적 과정이 아니라, 수소 흡착부위 자체에 따른 독립적 과정이다. UPD H와 OPD H의 기준은 음극 $H_2$발생 반응과 전위가 아니라, 수소 흡착부위와 과정이다. 수용액에서 음극 $H_2$발생 반응에는 다결정 Pt선 전극이 단결정 Pt(100)원반 전극보다 더 효율적이고 유용하다 위상이동 방법은 열역학적 방법과 상충적이 아니라, 보완적이다. The Langmuir adsorption isotherms of the under-potentially deposited hydrogen (UPD H) and the over-potentially deposited hydrogen (OPD H) at the poly-Pt/0.5M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M LiOH aqueous electrolyte interfaces have been studied using cyclic voltammetric and ac impedance techniques. The behavior of the phase shift $(0^{\circ}{\leq}{-\phi}{\leq}90^{\circ})$ for the optimum intermediate frequency corresponds well to that of the fractional surface coverage $(1{\geq}{\theta}{\geq}0)$ at the interfaces. The phase-shift method, i.e., the phase-shift profile $({-\phi}\;vs.\;E)$ for the optimum intermediate frequency, can be used as a new electrochemical method to determine the Langmuir adsorption isotherms $({\theta}\;vs.\;E)$ of the UPD H and the OPD H for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reactions at the interfaces. At the poly-Pt/0.5M $H_2SO_4$ aqueous electrolyte interface, the equilibrium constant (K) and the standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{ads})$ of the OPD H are $2.1\times10^{-4}$ and 21.0kJ/mol, respectively. At the poly-Pt/0.5M LiOH aqueous electrolyte interface, K transits from 2.7(UPD H) to $6.2\times10^{-6}$ (OPD H) depending on the cathode potential (E) and vice versa. Similarly, ${\Delta}G_{ads}$ transits from -2.5kJ/mol (UPD H) to 29.7kJ/mol (OPD H) depending on I and vice versa. The transition of K and ${\Delta}G_{ads}$ is attributed to the two distinct adsorption sites of the UPD H and the OPD H on the poly-Pt surface. The UPD H and the OPD H on the poly-Pt surface are the independent processes depending on the H adsorption sites themselves rather than the sequential processes for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reactions. The criterion of the UPD H and the OPD H is the H adsorption sites and processes rather than the $H_2$ evolution reactions and potentials. The poly-Pt wire electrode is more efficient and useful than the Pt(100) disc electrode for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reactions in the aqueous electrolytes. The phase-shift method is well complementary to the thermodynamic method rather than conflicting.

Simultaneous hydrogen production and decomposition of H₂S dissolved in alkaline water over CdS-TiO₂ composite photocatalysts under visible light irradiation

Jang, J.S.,Gyu Kim, H.,Borse, P.H.,Lee, J.S. Pergamon Press ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2007 International journal of hydrogen energy Vol.32 No.18

A process of simultaneous hydrogen production and H<SUB>2</SUB>S removal has been investigated over a highly active composite photocatalyst made of bulk CdS decorated with nanoparticles of TiO<SUB>2</SUB>, i.e. CdS(bulk)/TiO<SUB>2</SUB>. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated for hydrogen production from aqueous electrolyte solution containing H<SUB>2</SUB>S dissolved in water or alkaline solution under visible light irradiation. The rate of hydrogen production from the H<SUB>2</SUB>S-containing alkaline solution was similar to the rate obtained from photocatalytic hydrogen production from water containing sacrificial reagents (Na<SUB>2</SUB>S+Na<SUB>2</SUB>SO<SUB>3</SUB>) in the similar concentration. The isotope experiment was carried out with D<SUB>2</SUB>O instead of H<SUB>2</SUB>O to investigate the source of hydrogen from photocatalytic decomposition of H<SUB>2</SUB>S dissolved in H<SUB>2</SUB>O or alkali solution under visible light. Hydrogen originated from both H<SUB>2</SUB>S and H<SUB>2</SUB>O when the reaction solution contained H<SUB>2</SUB>S absorbed in alkaline water.

Combined steam and carbon dioxide reforming of methane and side reactions: Thermodynamic equilibrium analysis and experimental application

Jang, W.J.,Jeong, D.W.,Shim, J.O.,Kim, H.M.,Roh, H.S.,Son, I.H.,Lee, S.J. Applied Science Publishers 2016 APPLIED ENERGY Vol.173 No.-

<P>Thermodynamic equilibrium analysis of the combined steam and carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CSCRM) and side reactions was performed using total Gibbs free energy minimization. The effects of (CO2 + H2O)/CH4 ratio (0.9-2.9), CO2:H2O ratio (3:1-1:3), and temperature (500-1000 degrees C) on the equilibrium conversions, yields, coke yield, and H-2/CO ratio were investigated. A (CO2 + H2O)/CH4 ratio greater than 1.2, a CO2:H2O ratio of 1:2.1, and a temperature of at least 850 degrees C are preferable reaction conditions for the synthesis gas preparation in the gas to liquid process. Simulated conditions were applied to the CSCRM reaction and the experimental data were compared with the thermodynamic equilibrium results. The thermodynamic equilibrium results were mostly consistent with the experimental data, but the reverse water gas shift reaction rapidly occurred in the real chemical reaction and under excess oxidizing agent conditions. In addition, a long-term stability test (under simulated conditions) showed that the equilibrium conversion was maintained for 500 h and that the coke formation on the used catalyst was not observed.
