Climate Change and Nighttime Heat Stress: Tales of Two Cities in the US Midwest
Woonsup Choi 건국대학교 기후연구소 2018 기후연구 Vol.13 No.3
This study explores nighttime heat stress in two Midwestern regions in the United States, encompassing the cities of Minneapolis and Milwaukee. Daily minimum temperature data were obtained from the MACAv2-METDATA dataset at a 4-km resolution. The dataset was downloaded both for the historical (1950-2005) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 (2006-2099) simulations from 11 global climate models. MODIS land cover data at a 5´×5´ resolution were used to delineate urban and non-urban areas. Heat stress was indicated by the occurrence of hot nights in two criterions. First, the number of days with daily minimum temperatures above 300K (27°C) was counted to calculate decadal frequency. Second, the 95th percentile of daily minimum temperatures in the historical period was used as a threshold to calculate the duration of hot nights. The study finds that (1) hot nights (> 300K) are practically non-existent in the historical simulation but are likely to occur typically 2-3 times per decade with the RCP4.5 simulations; (2) the frequency of such events in the future can exceed 25 per decade in urban areas whereas it can be just about 1 per decade in non-urban areas depending on models; and (3) hot nights (> 95th percentile threshold) are likely to last longer in the future simulations. Overall, heat stress is projected to increase both in frequency and duration, and the urban heat island effect in terms of heat stress is projected to intensify in the future.

<P>A programmable, skin-attached, 36??30??8?mm system for subcutaneous infusion of 1.2?mL of a drug solution is described. The system is intended to be replaced daily. It comprises a 20??14??8?mm electronic controller and power source, an 8?mm diameter 2?mm thick electroosmotic pump, a two-compartment reservoir for a pumped water and a drug solution, an adhesive tape for attachment to the skin, and a 6?mm long 27 gauge needle. Its removable electronic controller programs the dose rate and dose and is re-used. The electroosmotic pump consists of a porous ceramic membrane sandwiched between a pair of Ag/Ag2O plated carbon paper electrodes. It operates below 1.23?V, the thermodynamic threshold for water electrolysis without gassing. The flow rate can be adjusted between 4 and 30?μL?min(-1) by setting either by the voltage (0.2-0.8?V) or the current (30-200?μA). For average flow rates below 4?μL?min(-1), the pump is turned on and off intermittently. For example, a flow rate of 160?μL?day(-1), i.e., 0.13?μL?min(-1) for basal insulin infusion in type 1 diabetes management, is obtained when 10?s pulses of 75?μA is applied every 15?min. High flow rates of 10-30?μL?min(-1), required for prandial insulin administration, are obtained when the pump operates at 50-200?μA. To prevent fouling by the drug, only pure water passes the pump; the water pushes a drop of oil, which, in turn, pushes the drug solution.</P>
EPR Studies of the Active Sites of Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase from Clostridium thermoaceticum
Shin, Woonsup,Lindahl, Paul A. 한국분석과학회 1995 분석과학 Vol.8 No.4
The active sites of the nickel and iron-containing enzyme, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) from clostridium thermoaceticum were investigated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) technique. CODH exhibits several spectral features called NiFeC, $g_{ave}=1.82$, $g_{ave}=1.86$. FCII signals which are originated from different clusters in this enzyme. CODH is know to catalyze two different kinds of reactions - acetyl-CoA synthesis and CO oxidation. The acetyl-CoA synthesis activity can be followed by monitoring CO/acetyl-CoA exchange. The addition of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to CODH selectively destroyed the CO/acetyl-CoA exchange activity and eliminated the NiFeC signal completely. CO oxidation activity and other EPR signals were unaffected. Such behavior demonstrates that CODH has two distinct active sites and that the NiFe complex is only responsible for the CO/acctyl-CoA exchange activity. Phen caused the removal of only 30% of Ni in the NiFe complex ($0.3Ni/{\alpha}{\beta}$) as shown by the quantitative metal analysis. The phen-treated CODH could be reactivated fully by incubation In $Ni^{2+}$ solution. Radioactive $^{63}Ni^{2+}$ was used to quantitate the amount of the $Ni^{2+}$ incorporated into phen-treated enzyme and showed that the amount was the same as the removed by the phen treatment. i.e. $0.3Ni/{\alpha}{\beta}$. This indicates that only 30% of NiFe complexes are labile and responsible for the CO/acctyl-CoA exchange activity, the other 70% are non-labile and have no exchange activity. This is the first clear evidence that the NiFe complex is heterogencous and labile and non-labile Ni sites arc interacting differently with substrates and chelating agents like phen.

<P>When a current or a voltage is applied across the ceramic membrane of the nongassing Ag/Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O-SiO<SUB>2</SUB>-Ag/Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O pump, protons produced in the anodic reaction 2Ag(s) + H<SUB>2</SUB>O → Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O(s) + 2H<SUP>+</SUP> + 2e<SUP>–</SUP> are driven to the cathode, where they are consumed by the reaction Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O(s) + H<SUB>2</SUB>O + 2e<SUP>–</SUP> → 2Ag(s) + 2 OH<SUP>–</SUP>. The flow of water is induced by momentum transfer from the electric field-driven proton-sheet at the surface of the ceramic membrane. About 10<SUP>4</SUP> water molecules flowed per reacted electron. Because dissolved ions decrease the field at the membrane surface, the flow decreases upon increasing the ionic strength. For this reason Ag<SUP>+</SUP> ions introduced through the anodic reaction and by dissolution of Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O decrease the flow. Their accumulation is reduced by applying Nafion-films to the electrodes. The 20 μL min<SUP>–1</SUP> flow rate of 6 mm i.d. pumps with Nafion coated electrodes operate daily for 5 min at 1 V for 1 month, for 70 h when the pump is pulsed for 30 s every 30 min, and for 2 h when operating continuously.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/ancham/2011/ancham.2011.83.issue-12/ac201118t/production/images/medium/ac-2011-01118t_0004.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/ac201118t'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
Early Summer Dissolved Oxygen Characteristics in Restored Streams in Seoul
Casey Thoenen,Woonsup Choi(최운섭),Jinmu Choi(최진무) 대한지리학회 2013 대한지리학회지 Vol.48 No.3
This paper presents an evaluation of stream restoration projects in Seoul with a focus on dissolved oxygen. Five test sites across four streams were measured for dissolved oxygen (DO) in late May to early June in 2012 and compared against a set of minimum and maximum thresholds. Only one test site, Hwarang-cheon, showed measurements below 6 ㎎/l DO. Towards the upper limit, the Hwarangcheon site was the only tested stream which was not at risk of DO supersaturation. The Danghyeon-cheon site had the highest probability of supersaturation, with DO saturation exceeding 130% expected 86.5% of the time. When measured every hour during daytime, DO levels showed diurnal variations, peaking in the afternoon. However, they showed inconsistent results along transects of the streams. Overall, the streams are rich in DO. To maintain the streams in good standing, nutrient loading should be addressed to prevent potential algal bloom induced hypoxic events down the line.

$MnO_2$, a metal oxide used as an electrode material in electrochemical capacitors (EDLCs), has been applied in binary oxide and conducting polymer hybrid electrodes to increase their stability and capacitance. We developed a method for electrodepositing Mn-Ni oxide/PANI, Mn-Ni oxide/PEDOT, and Mn-Ni-Ru oxide/PEDOT films on carbon paper in a single step using a mixed bath. Mn-Ni oxide/PEDOT and Mn-Ni-Ru oxide/PEDOT electrodes used in an electro-osmotic pump (EOP) have shown better efficiency compared to Mn-Ni oxide and Mn-Ni oxide/PANI electrodes through testing in water as a pumping solution. EOP using a Mn-Ni-Ru oxide/PEDOT electrode was also tested in a 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution as a pumping solution to confirm the effect of the $Li^+$ insertion/de-insertion reaction of Ruthenium oxide on the EOP. Experimental results show that the flow rate increases with the increase in current in a 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution compared to that obtained when water was used as a pumping solution.
