For this study, groundwater samples for 3 years from 2011 through 2013 were collected at 106 groundwater monitoring site in Korea. These groundwater samples were analyzed for 13 pesticides such as cabofuran, pentachlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene, simazine, atrazine, lindane (gamma-HCH), alachlor, heptachlor, chlordane (total), endosulfan (1, 2), dieldrin, endrin, 4,4-DDT. The objectives of this study were to determine the detection frequency and their concentrations of 13 pesticides and evaluate the health risk level considering ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact using concentrations of 13 pesticides in groundwater samples. An analysis was used for the simultaneous determination for 13 pesticides using GC-MS. GC-MS was performed on HP-5ms, using helium (1 ml min<SUP>-1</SUP>) as carrier gas. The average recoveries of the pesticides were from 92.8% to 120.8%. The limits of detection (LODs) were between 0.004 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> and 0.118 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were between 0.012 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> and 0.354 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>. 106 groundwater wells were selected. 54 wells were from well to monitor background groundwater quality and 52 wells were from well to monitor groundwater quality in industrial or contamination source area. Eight pesticides including pentachlorobenzene, lindane (Gamma-HCH), heptachlor, chlordane (total), Endosulfan (1, 2), dieldrin, endrin, and 4,4-DDT were not detected in groundwater samples. The detection frequency for hexachlorobenzene, alachlor, carbofuran and simazine was 23.4%, 11.4%, 7.3%, and 1.0%, respectively. Atrazine was detected once in 2011. The average concentrations were 0.00423 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> for carbofuran, 0.000243 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> for alachlor, 0.00015 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> for simazine, and 0.00001 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP> for hexachlorobenzene. The detection frequency of hexachlorobenzene was high, but the average concentration was low. In the contaminated groundwater, the detection frequency for hexachlorobenzene, alachlor, carbofuran, simazine and atrazine was 26.1%, 21.3%, 7.1%, 1.9% and 0.3%, respectively. In the uncontaminated groundwater, detection frequency for hexachlorobenzene, carbofuran and alachlor were 20.2%, 7.5%, and 1.9% respectively. Simazine and atrazine were not detected at uncontaminated groundwater wells. According to the purpose of groundwater use, atrazine was detected for agricultural groundwater use. Hexachlorobenzene showed high detection frequency at agricultural groundwater use area where the animal feeding area and golf course area were located. Alachlor showed more than 50% detection frequency at cropping area, pollution concern river area, and golf course area. Atrazine was detected in agricultural water use area. By land use, the maximum detection frequency of alachlor was found near an orchard. For human risk assessment, the cancer risk for the 5 pesticides was between 10<SUP>-7</SUP> and 10<SUP>-10</SUP>, while the non-cancer risk (HQ value) was between 10<SUP>-4</SUP> and 10<SUP>-6</SUP>. For conclusion, these monitoring study needs to continue because of the possibility of groundwater contamination based on various purpose of groundwater use.

In this study, we monitored 4 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloromethane in groundwater samples to determine the detection frequency and their concentrations and evaluated the health risk level considering ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. 75 groundwater wells were selected. 24 wells were from monitoring background groundwater quality level and 51 wells were from monitoring groundwater quality level in industrial or contamination source area. In the results, the detection frequency for chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloromethane was 42.3%, 8.1%, 6.0%, and 3.4%, respectively. The average concentrations of VOCs were high in the order of chloroform (1.7 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>), dichloromethane (0.08 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>), tetrachloromethane (0.05 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>), and 1,2-dichloroethane (0.05 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>). Chloroform had the highest detection frequency and average detection concentration. In the contaminated groundwater, the detection frequency of VOCs was high in the order of chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dchloroethane, and tetrachloromethane. The average concentrations for chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloromethane were 2.23 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, 0.08 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, 0.07 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, and 0.06 μg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively. All the 4 compounds were detected at industrial complex and storage tank area. The maximum concentration of chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane was detected at industrial complex area.

Influence of hot carriers on catalytic reaction; Pt nanoparticles on GaN substrates under light irradiation

Kim, Sun Mi,Park, Dahee,Yuk, Youngji,Kim, Sang Hoon,Park, Jeong Young The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013 Faraday discussions Vol.162 No.-

<P>We report the hot carrier-driven catalytic activity of two-dimensional arrays of Pt nanoparticles on GaN substrate under light irradiation. In order to elucidate the effect of a hot carrier in a catalytic chemical reaction, the CO oxidation reaction was carried out on Pt nanoparticles on p- and n-type GaN under light irradiation. Metal catalysts composed of Pt nanoparticles were prepared using two different preparation methods: the one-pot polyol reduction and arc plasma deposition methods. Under light irradiation, the catalytic activity of the Pt nanoparticles supported on GaN exhibited a distinct change depending on the doping type. The catalytic activity of the Pt nanoparticles on the n-doped GaN wafer decreased by 8–28% under light irradiation, compared to no irradiation (<I>i.e.</I>, in the dark), while the Pt nanoparticles on the p-doped GaN wafer increased by 11–33% under light irradiation, compared to no irradiation. The catalytic activity increased on the smaller Pt nanoparticles, compared to the larger nanoparticles, presumably due to the mean free path of hot carriers. Based on these results, we conclude that the flow of hot carriers generated at the Pt–GaN interface during light irradiation is responsible for the change in catalytic activity on the Pt nanoparticles.</P>

Beyond Contrast: additional functions of lax, tense, and aspirated stops in Korean

Dahee Kim 한국중원언어학회 2014 언어학연구 Vol.0 No.33

Linguists have identified various functions that speech sounds fulfill for a successful communication. In phonology, the focus of analysis has typically been on the distinctive function by which speech sounds distinguish lexical meaning. The aim of the current paper is to review studies proposing functions of speech sounds other than the distinctive function and to show how specific speech sounds fulfill these additional functions by focusing on the lax, tense, and aspirated stops in Korean. From corpus analyses and a review of phonological theories, it is suggested that there are potential links between the statistical distributions of sounds (i.e., relative frequency of the members of a contrast) and the function that a certain member of a contrast fulfills. Findings qualify the widely held assumption that occurrence frequency and information are inversely correlated. Considering the additional functions that speech sounds fulfill, a more frequent member of a phonological contrast should be regarded as a source of information regarding segmenting speech stream, rather than conveying less amount of information for speech communication.

Effect of Microwave Irradiation Time on Microwave-Assisted Weak Acid Protein Hydrolysis

Kim, Dahee,Joo, Minhee,Lee, Dabin,Nguyen, Huu-Quang,Kim, Jeongkwon Korean Society for Mass Spectrometry 2019 Mass spectrometry letters Vol.10 No.3

Horse heart myoglobin (MYG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were hydrolyzed by microwave-assisted weak-acid hydrolysis for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min using 2% formic acid (FA) at $100^{\circ}C$. Generally, the number of identified peptides increased with increasing irradiation time, indicating that the duration of microwave irradiation is linked to the efficiency of hydrolysis. For MYG, irradiation for 60 min provided the highest number of identified peptides, the greatest sequence coverage values and the highest MASCOT score values among the investigated irradiation times. Irradiation of BSA for 50 min, however, yielded a greater number of peptides than irradiation for 60 min due to the generation of miscleaved peptides after microwave irradiation for 50 min.
