Abstract:
A cold-adapted protease derived from Pseudoalteromonas arctica PAMC 21717 or a recombinant cold-adapted protease obtained by expressing a gene encoding the cold-adapted protease in E. coli is described, and more particularly, a crystal of a protease exhibiting activity at low temperatures, a method for crystallizing the protease, a method for preparing the protease, a recombinant microorganism that expresses the protease, a method for preparing the recombinant microorganism, a method for preparing the recombinant protease and the use of the cold-adapted protease. The cold-adapted protease exhibits high activity at low temperatures, and securely maintains its enzymatic activity even in the presence of high pH, various metal ions and surfactants. Thus, it is useful in various industrial applications.
Abstract:
A multiple oscillating water pumping device includes: a wing member disposed in fluid to generate a lifting force using the flow energy of the fluid; a rotation device to reciprocally rotate the wing member to periodically change the direction of the lifting force acting on the wing member; an arm is rotatably coupled to the wing member, the arm being reciprocally rotated about a pivot shaft by the lifting force acting on the wing member; and a cylinder where fluid enters and exits according to the internal pressure that is periodically increased and decreased by the reciprocating motion of a piston that is connected with the arm through a connecting rod. The multiple oscillating water pumping device is configured to minimize the supply of a power source required for operation and to minimize the loss of head when pumped water flows toward a reservoir along a conduit.
Abstract:
This invention relates to amphiphilic hydrogel particles for antifouling paint, which are environmentally friendly and in which anti-corrosion and antifouling effects can be maximized through a single coating process. The amphiphilic hydrogel particles are fabricated by encapsulating conducting polymer particles having anti-corrosion functionality with functional nanoparticles having antifouling functionality and then immobilizing the functional nanoparticles on a hydrogel matrix, whereby the conducting polymer particles contained in the functional nanoparticles are slowly and continuously released or the release rate thereof can be controlled so as to release the corresponding particles in a specific environment, ultimately maintaining long-term functionality. The conducting polymer particles contained in the amphiphilic functional nanoparticles can exhibit anti-corrosion functionality, thus maximizing anti-corrosion and antifouling effects through a single coating process.
