In this paper, we investigated a feasibility of cerium oxide(CeO$_2$) films as a buffer layer of MFIS(metal ferroelectric insulator semiconductor) type capacitor. CeO$_2$ layer were Prepared by two step process of a low temperature film growth and subsequent RTA (rapid thermal annealing) treatment. By app1ying an ultra thin Ce metal seed layer and N$_2$ Plasma treatment, dielectric and interface properties were improved. It means that unwanted SiO$_2$ layer generation was successfully suppressed at the interface between He buffer layer and Si substrate. The lowest lattice mismatch of CeO$_2$ film was as low as 1.76% and average surface roughness was less than 0.7 m. The Al/CeO$_2$/Si structure shows breakdown electric field of 1.2 MV/cm, dielectric constant of more than 15.1 and interface state densities as low as 1.84${\times}$10$\^$11/ cm$\^$-1/eV$\^$-1/. After N$_2$ plasma treatment, the leakage current was reduced with about 2-order.

This study was carried out to know the percentage of parasitism and host preference of Haplogonatopus atratus (Dryinidae) in the nymphs of small brown planthopper. The percentages of parasitism in the nymphal stage of planthopper at each generation were $19.2\%$ for overwinterd generation, $10.8\%$ for the 1st generation on barley field and $21.5\%$ for the 2nd generation on paddy field, respectively. The percents of the parasitism for the respective instars were $78.2\%$(3rd), $17.5\%$(End), and $4.2\%$(4th) when various developmental stages of the planthopper had been caged together. No parasitized individual was found for the instars of the 1st, the 5th and the adult.

The antioxidant activities of methanol extracts of sixteen samples were tested using 1.1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl(DPPH) reactivity and TBARS substances assay in vitro. The methanol extracts of the rice brans from three wild rice -O. minuta, O. rufipogon, and O. barthii-were found to be the most effective in DPPH radical scavenging activity. The next effective ones were the rice brans of Heugjinjubyeo and leaves of Tapgolbori. When tested on lipid peroxidation using a lipid peroxidation generation system mediated by $H_2O$$_2$/Fe$^{2+}$ in rat liver homogenates, the brans and hull of wild rice (O. minuta, O. rufipogon, and O. barthii) and rice bran of Heugjinjubyeo exhibited protective activities against lipid peroxidation in the order of effectiveness.s.

An in vitro bioassay-guide revealed that the methanol (MeOH) extract of the whole plant of Patrinia saniculaefolia (Valerianaceae) showed cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) dual inhibitory activity by assessing their effects on the production of prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) and leukotriene $C_4$ ($LTC_4$) in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Phytochemical study of the MeOH extract of this plant led to the isolation of twelve compounds; ${\beta}$-farnesene (1), squalene (2), nardostachin (3), patridoid I (4), patridoid II (5), patridoid II-A (6), oleanolic acid (7), oleanonic acid (8), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (9), oleanolic acid 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranoside (10), oleanolic acid 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (11), oleanolic acid 3-O-[${\beta}$-D-xylopyranosyl-(1${\rightarrow}$3)-${\beta}$-D-(6-O-butyl)glucuronopyranoside] (12). Among the compounds, 4 and 5 strongly inhibited both the COX-2-dependent $PGD_2$ generation with $IC_{50}$ values of 8.7 and 13.6 ${\mu}M$, respectively, and the generation of $LTC_4$ in the 5-LOX dependent phase with $IC_{50}$ values of 41.7 and 46.9 ${\mu}M$, respectively, which suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of P. saniculaefolia might occur in part via the inhibition of both $PGD_2$ and $LTC_4$ generation by 4 and 5.

In order to obtian TiO2 fine powder of high purity, the new method which is different from the sulfate process and the chloride one was employed. TiO2 was syntehsized by the reaction between elemental titanium particles and H2O2 solutiosn at 30~7$0^{\circ}C$, and then TiO2 powder was characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, DTA and FT-IR. It was found that the initial reaction rate was fast at a high temperature due to the high generation of activated oxygen associated with thedecomposition of H2O2. However, the reaction was slowly proceeded at a low temperature due to slow decomposition of H2O2. In this experimental range, the optimum temeprature was ocnsidered to be about 5$0^{\circ}C$. The primary particles of the hydrous titanium dioxide (TiO2 gel) before aging were spherical, and their mean sizes were about 50nm. The similar shapes and sizes were observed with calcinatin at 40$0^{\circ}C$. The FT-IR spectrum of Ti-OH in the TiO2 gel powder appeared at around 3380cm-1, 1630cm-1 and 530cm-1. This gel powder was crystallized into the anatase type TiO2 at 300~40$0^{\circ}C$.

Generation of abnormally large grains in the microstructure of small grains has been investigated on some ferrites. Some fractions of large grains were observed in the microstructure of sintered ZnFe$_2$O$_4$, Mn-ZnFe$_2$O$_4$, Fe$_3$O$_4$(in N$_2$) and MnFe$_2$O$_4$(in air). On the other hand, the large grains were not observed in NiFe$_2$O$_4$ and CoFe$_2$O$_4$, independent of calcining and sintering conditions. The large grains seem to be generated in such ferrites that are easy to vary their compositions or valencies at high temperatures. As the sintering proceeded, the number of large grains was increasing to form a continuous structure consisting of large grains, while the size of large grains did not increase remarkably. In addition, the growth of small grains was also very slow during the generation of the large grains. The large grains appeared to be suddenly generated after some induction periods. Avrami equation could be applied to the relation between net volume of large grains and sintering time. Thus, the grain boundaries may be strongly stabilized when the large grains are generated. The large grain in generated by the local activation of the stabilized grain boundaries, which is caused by the variation of compositions or valencies during sintering. It is concluded that the essence of the abnormal grain growth is not the generation of abnormally large grains, but the abnormal stabilization and the local activation of the grain boundaries.

We investigated whether SIRT1 is associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation during CK2 downregulation-mediated senescence. SIRT1 overexpression suppressed ROS accumulation, reduced transcription of FoxO3a target genes, and nuclear export and acetylation of FoxO3a, which were induced by CK2 downregulation in HCT116 and MCF-7 cells. Conversely, overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant SIRT1 (H363Y) counteracted decreased ROS levels, increased transcriptional activity of FoxO3a, and increased nuclear import and decreased acetylation of FoxO3a, which were induced by CK2 upregulation. CK2 downregulation destabilized SIRT1 protein via an ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in human cells, whereas CK2 overexpression reduced ubiquitination of SIRT1. Finally, the SIRT1 activator resveratrol attenuated the accumulation of ROS and lipofuscin as well as lifespan shortening, and reduced expression of the DAF-16 target gene sod-3, which were induced by CK2 downregulation in nematodes. Altogether, this study demonstrates that inactivation of the SIRT1-FoxO3a axis, at least in part, is involved in ROS generation during CK2 downregulation-mediated cellular senescence and nematode aging.

This study determines the basic properties and acid rock drainage generation capacity of Pohang tertiary mudstone through laboratory experiments. According to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis results, the mudstone of this area mostly comprised of SiO₂ with a proportion of approximately 60%, followed in order by Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃. As such, it is clear that there is an abundance of aluminosilicates with a high probability of generating acid rock drainage. The XRD analysis showed that the mudstone contains pyrite (FeS₂), it is highly likely to generate acid rock drainage, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) analysis results showed that the mudstone samples contained a high amount of Fe²⁺ ions. As a result of anion analysis measured by ion chromatography (IC), all mudstone samples were measured to have high SO^2-₄ concentrations. According to elemental analysis, the total sulfur (S) content was high, which in turn indicates a high risk of acid rock drainage generation reflected by a maximum potential acidity (MPA) higher than 1%. All in all, although there were slight deviations between the tertiary mudstone samples, overall, the samples exhibited high acid rock drainage generation capacities.

Stimulated polariton scattering (SPS) from the $A_1$ transverse optical (TO) modes of $BaTiO_3$ bulk crystal generating a terahertz (THz) wave with the noncollinear phase-matching (NPM) condition is theoretically investigated. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on THz wave generation from $BaTiO_3$ bulk crystal via SPS. Phase-matching (PM) characteristics in the NPM configuration are analyzed. Effective parametric gain lengths for the Stokes and THz waves in the NPM configuration are calculated. The effective parametric gain coefficient and absorption coefficient of the THz wave in $BaTiO_3$ are theoretically simulated. The THz phonon flux densities generated via SPS in $BaTiO_3$ are theoretically calculated by solving the coupled wave equations under the NPM condition. The PM characteristics and THz-wave parametric gain characteristics in $BaTiO_3$ are compared to those in $MgO:LiNbO_3$. The results of the analysis indicate that $BaTiO_3$ is an attractive optical crystal for efficient THz wave generation via SPS.
