Perovskite-type oxides such as doped barium zirconate ($BaZrO_3$) show high proton conductivity and chemical stability when they are exposed to hydrogen and water vapour containing atmospheres, thus it can be applicable to the hydrogen separation and the fuel cell electrolyte membranes. However the high temperature ($1700-1800^{\circ}C$) and long sintering times (24h) are generally required to prepare the fully densified $BaZrO_3$ pellets. These sintering conditions lead to the limitation of the grain size growth and the degradation of conductivity due to the acceleration of BaO evaporation at $1200^{\circ}C$. Here we demonstrate NiO-doped $BaZr_{0.85}Y_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$ with lower calcination and sintering temperature, less experimental procedure and lower process cost than the conventional mixing method. The stoichiometry of $BaZr_{0.85}Y_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$ was optimized by the control of excess amount of Ba (5mol%) to minimized BaO evaporation. We found that the crystal size of NiO-doped $BaZr_{0.85}Y_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$ was increased with increase of calcination temperature from XRD analysis. NiO-doped $BaZr_{0.85}Y_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$ powder was calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 12h when its showed the highest conductivity of $3.3{\times}10^{-2}s/cm$.

In this study, the cellulase of Monochamus saltuarius (MsGHF45) gene was introduced in Kluyveromyces lactis, successfully. The molecular weight of recombinant enzyme was determined by SDS-PAGE and western blotting. The enzymatic activity was confirmed by native-PAGE containing carboxymethyl cellulose as a substrate. The optimul pH and temperature of recombinant MsGHF45 was pH5 and $40^{\circ}C$. The barium ($Ba^{2+}$) and ferrous ($Fe^{2+}$) enhanced enzyme activity, and the mercuty ($Hg^{2+}$) inhibited its activity.

Juvenile polyposis is an uncommon condition characterized by the development of multiple juvenile polyps predominantly in the colon but also in the rest of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients with juvenile polyposis commonly present with rectal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anemia, prolapse of the polyp. We experienced a juvenile polyposis in a 7 year-old male patient with protein losing enteropathy who was diagnosed by $^{99M}Tc$-human serum albumin abdominal scintigraphy, colonoscopy, and small bowel series. Proctocolectomy with ileostomy was performed and then protein losing enteropathy was resolved.

Barium Titanate (BT) powders were synthesized by solvothermal method with an ethanol as a solvent. The average particle size was increased with the feedstock concentration: the size was 59 nm at $6.25{\times}10^{-2}$ M and 89 nm at 0.5 M. The sample obtained at 0.5 M concentration was analysed by Rietveld refinement and the mole fraction of tetragonal phase was $75.5\%$ and lattice parameter of tetragonal phase was a=0.3999 (nm), c=0.4032 (nm), and cubic phase was a=0.4015 (nm). TEM analysis for the samples with condition of annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ for I h showed that hydroxyl ions on oxygen sites were not found for these experimental conditions.

In order to obtain magneto-dielectrics with various permmittivity and permeability which could be used as the antenna substrate, various magneto-dielectrics compounded of dielectric materials(such as silicon and epoxy resin) and magnetic materials(such as carbonyl iron, barium and strontium powder) were fabricated. The relative permittivity and permeability of those were measured by use of HP 4291B impedance analyzer. Based upon the measured results, inverted-F meander monopole antennas(IFA) which were printed on the magneto-dielectric substrates fabricated as film type were designed and fabricated to investigate into variations of antenna characteristics such as the resonant frequency and impedance bandwidth in comparison with use of dielectric substrate. Some simulated and measured results for the designed IFA were presented. Characteristics of magneto-dielectrics which are different according as the choice of magnetic material or the composition ratio between magnetic material and dielectric material is different have been discussed.

Hydrothermal synthesis was conducted with starting material as Barium hydroxide and hydrous titania ($TiO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$) to obtain barium titanate fine Powder. The conversion, crystal structure and properties of as-prepared powder were investigated according to reaction temperature, time and concentration. The effect of variables on conversion was in order of time < temperature < concentration and the maximum conversion reached to 99.5% in the case of hydrothermal synthesis at $180^{\circ}C$ for 2 h with 2.0 M reactant concentration. At low concentration such as 0.25 M, formation of unreacted $BaCO_3$ and $TiO_2$ was not inevitable at even high reaction temperature and these components converted into $BaTi_2O_5$ at high temperature and remained as impurity. As concentration of reactant increased, the size of as-synthesized $BaTiO_3$ powder deceased and Ba/Ti molar ratio approached into 1, showing Ba/Ti ratio of $1{\pm}0.005$ for reaction at $180^{\circ}C$ for 2 h with 2.0 M concentration.

In this study, we developed and characterized the shielding properties of dose reduction fiber (DRF, Buffalo Co.) sheet during brain and chest CT examinations. The DRF sheet was composed of $1{\sim}500{\mu}m$ oxide Bismuth ($Bi_2O_3$) and 5 ~ 50 nm nano-barium sulfate ($BaSO_4$). Phantom and clinical studies were performed for characterization of the DRF shielding properties. In clinical study, we measured doses of eye, chest, abdomen and reproductive system of 60 patients in 3 hospitals during brain and chest CT examinations. We could determined the shielding effect of the DRF by comparing the doses when we used the DRF sheet or not. When we used the sheet during CT examination, the scattered dose were reduced about 20~50%. So, we suggest that the fiber should be used in radiological examinations for reducing patients doses.

Colorectal carcinomas occur primarily in elderly people and are rare in children. Unlike adult colorectal carcinomas, the overall prognosis is very poor because of the usual delay in diagnosis and advanced stages at presentation or initial diagnosis, and a high incidence of aggressive tumor pathology such as mucinous adenocarcinoma. Colon cancer should not be excluded in children only based on age or barium enema results. Therefore, colonoscopy should be performed in pediatric patients with unexplained rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. We report a rare case of a child with a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon in a 12-year-old boy, who presented with an abdominal mass and abdominal pain and review the medical literature.

Much attention has been given to an electrochemical reduction process for converting uranium oxide to uranium metal in molten salt. The process has the versatility of being adopted for reducing other actinide and rare-earth metals from their oxides. Using the metal oxide to be reduced as a integrated cathode designed originally and inert conductors as anodes, oxygen anions are removed from the cathode and oxidized at the surface of the anodes in a molten salt cell. However, the electrochemical properties of alkali and alkali-earth metal oxides in molten salt have not been investigated thoroughly, which made the process incomplete when it is considered as a unit process in a back-end fuel cycle. It is well known that cesium and strontium Isotopes in spent fuel are main contributors for head load. The properties of cesium, strontium, and barium oxides such as the dissolution rates and reduction potentials in molten LiC1 dissolving $Li_2O$ are examined.

Multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC)는 '전자산업의 쌀'이라고 일컬어 질만큼, 전자부품내에서 매우 중요하고 핵심적인 역할을 하며, 그 응용분야 또한 매우 광범위하다. 이러한 MLCC는 그 사용처에 따라, 초고용량 MLCC, 고전압용 MLCC, 저가제품용 MLCC, 그리고 고용량용 MLCC 등등으로 나뉘어진다. 이 중 최근 각광 받고 있는 스마트폰, 태플릿PC 등의 전자제품군에 사용되는 초고용량 MLCC의 경우, 높은 유전상수 값을 지닌 BaTiO3 기반의 물질이 일반적으로 사용되어지고 있으며, 또한 더 높은 용량(capacitance)을 얻기 위하여 해마다 유전체층의 두께가 점점 줄어들고 있고, 이러한 얇은 유전체층을 만들어 내기위해 유전체층의 결정립 크기도 수 마이크로미터에서 수백, 수십 나노미터 사이즈로 점점 작아지고 있는 상황이다. 하지만 점점 줄어들고 있는 유전체층의 두께와 결정립 크기의 추세와는 상관없이, 전기회로에서 요구되는 인가전압은 줄어들지 않고 일정하게 유지되고 있기 때문에, 유전체층의 내전압 특성은 전자제품의 높은 신뢰성을 위해서 날이 갈수록 중요시 되고 있다. 특히, 수백 나노미터 이하의 결정립 크기를 갖는 BaTiO3 유전체층의 내전압 특성은, 다양한 내전압 특성 메커니즘이 연구되어진 수 마이크로미터 대역의 결정립 크기를 갖는 BaTiO3 유전체층과는 다르게, MLCC 제조공정상의 한계와 BaTiO3의 결정립 성장이라는 어려움 때문에, 그 연구가 전무하다 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수십 나노미터 결정립 크기를 갖는 BaTiO3 막을 만들어낼 수 있는 에어로졸 데포지션 공정을 이용하여 수십 나노미터 결정립 크기를 갖는 BaTiO3 막을 제조 하였으며, 이 막을 다양한 온도 조건에서 후속 열처리를 통한 결정립 성장을 통해 수십에서 수백 나노미터의 다양한 결정립 크기를 갖는 BaTiO3 막의 내전압 특성을 분석하였다.
