The present study was to investigate the effects of different types of conditioner on the morphological changes of hair cuticles after coloring treatment. The virgin hair, aged 22 years served as a subject. Coloring treatment was done with a commercial hair dye agent for 35 minutes as routine procedures at $25^{\circ}C$, 50% R.H. environmental condition. The two different types of conditioner, Essence and LPP were applied to the colored hair 10 times with 2 days interval for 20 days. The hair cuticles were observed by a scanning electron micro scopy before and after coloring and conditioner treatment. The main results were as follows. Coloring treatment damaged the hair cuticles, and both of Essence and LPP had a direct conditioning effect. Also, the damaged hair cuticles were recovered by the repeated application of hair conditioner. Moreover, LPP was more effective in hair curing compared to Essence. These results show that a hair conditioner can be helpful to keep healthy hair and to shorten an interval of coloring.

유기태양전지는 낮은 공정 단가, 저온공정 및 기계적 유연성과 같은 다양한 장점을 지니고 있어서 실리콘 기반의 태양전지를 대체하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 유기태양전지는 실리콘 기반의 태양전지에 비해서 낮은 광전변환효율을가지고 있기 때문에 효율을 높이기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서 엑시톤 분리 효율을 높이기 위한 방안으로 나노 구조가 많이 연구되고 있다. 하지만 나노 구조를 제작하기 위해서는 식각 과정을 거치거나, 금속 템플레이트를 사용하여 공정상 복잡하고 어려움을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 용액 공정을 이용하여 초음파 처리시간 변화에 따른 나노 구조를 가지는 광활성층을 제작하였다. 전자주게 물질인 P3HT를 혼합 용매에 녹여서 초음파 처리를 통해서 나노 구조를 제작하였고, 초음파 처리 시간에 따른 구조의 변화를 광류미네에센스 측정과 원자간 힘 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 나노 구조를 가지는 태양 전지는 엑시톤을 분리할 수 있는 전자주게와 전자받게의 계면이 증가함으로 엑시톤 분리 효율이 향상되는 장점을 가진다. 초음파 처리 사긴 변화에 따른 나노 구조 P3HT 층을 가진 태양전지의 전류밀도-전압 측정을 통해 효율의 변화를 비교하였다. 15분 동안 초음파 처리를 하였을 때, 가장 높은 효율을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 나노 구조를 가지지 않는 유기태양전지에 비해서 20% 정도 효율이 향상되는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

IP기반 미디어 서비스는 대규모 사용자를 확보할 수 있고, 사용자 규모에 따른 수익을 올릴 수 있기 때문에 방송사에서는 중요 서비스의 하나로 인식하고 있다. 사용자의 지속적이고 빠르게 변화하는 새로운 서비스에 대한 요구사항들을 만족시키기 위해서 방송사는 보유하고 있는 관련 시스템들을 항시 새로운 서비스에 유연하게 대처할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 IP기반 미디어 서비스에 유연하게 대응할 수 있는 체계화된 방송콘텐츠 서비스 개방형 아키텍처 (OASIS: Open Architecture for Systematic IP-based Services)를 제안한다. 'OASIS'는 제작 시스템에서 자동으로 콘텐츠(예. 에센스와 메타데이터)를 수집하고 다양한 서비스에 맞게 수집된 콘텐츠를 제공할 수 있는 체계적이고 유연한 아키텍처이다. 더불어 OASIS는 방송콘텐츠 저작권 확보 여부를 확인할 수 있도록 하였기 때문에 최근 중요시되고 있는 저작권이 확보된 콘텐츠를 서비스할 수 있다. 제안하는 아키텍처는 시스템들 간에 콘텐츠를 교환할 때 표준화된 메타데이터와 ID를 사용하여 교환하게 함으로써 서비스 할 콘텐츠를 자동으로 시스템화하여 수집할 수 있다. KBS는 2년간의 작업을 거쳐 방송콘텐츠를 공유하는 데 필요한 메타데이터와 ID의 표준화 작업을 수행하였으며, 이를 기반으로 체계적으로 자동화된 수집 체계를 고안하였다. 다양한 서비스에 유연하게 콘텐츠를 제공하기 위한 측면으로는 openAPI(Application Programming Interface)를 활용하여, 서비스의 요구에 맞는 콘텐츠 내용을 제공할 수 있도록 하였다. 마지막으로 라이선스 관리 측면으로는 방송 콘텐츠 제작 시 수집할 수 있는 계약 정보 및 서비스 유통 가능 범위를 체계화함으로써, 제작 시에 저작권 정보를 수집하고, 해당 콘텐츠와 연동하여 서비스 가능 여부를 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안한 아키텍처를 활용하여 다양한 서비스의 요구에 대응할 수 있는 콘텐츠 서비스 시스템을 구축할 수 있다.

Backgrounds : Androgenetic alopecia is a relatively common disorder, but its precise mechanism is not elucidated. There are two commercial drugs approved by FDA. One(finasteride) has an inhibition activity of 5$\alpha$-reductase(type 2) and the other(minoxidil) has a vasodilation activity. Objectives : A verified herbal remedy for baldness is needed for medicinal treatment or preventing alopecia, which could be demonstrated by alopecia-related in vitro & in vivo tests Methods : On the basis of oriental pharmacognosy, we classified many herbal medicines into four groups (malnutrition, aging, alopecia and gray hair) according to its effect. The mitosis induction of hairy dermal papillae cell and the metabolic inhibition for type 2 $5{\alpha}-reductase$ were tested with five herbal extracts. Also, five herbal extracts were added to the normal essence formulation (HHRHG0202-80) in ranges of 0.1~0.3%, which was applied two-mouse models to validate each hair growing activity in vivo. Results : Stimulation of follicular papillae cell proliferation was observed in treatment of three herbal extracts (Glycyrrhizae radix:159.7%, Corni fructus : 144.7%, and Coicis semen : 136.6%) at a dose of $10\mu\textrm{g}/ml$. Three herbal extracts (Biotae semen. Glycyrrhizae radix and Coicis semen) showed inhibitory activity for $5{\alpha}-reductase$(type 2) at 93.18%, 73.36% and 47.6%, respectively at the same dose. We observed the enhancement of hair growth activity in C57b1/6 mouse and the inhibition of alopecia in AGA mouse after topical administration of the hair essence. Conclusions : Hair essence product, which contains five medicinal plants, would be used for the remedy for male pattern baldness (MPB) and the other alopecia diseases.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of Abelmoschus manihot (A-M) on the facial skin by observing the changes in the skin caused by continuous use of the essence containing A-M. Methods : Fifty-one participants were enrolled, 38 were classified as experimental group and 13 were classified as control group. Before the beginning of the test, the skin condition of the participants was investigated with the facial analyzer. An essence containing A-M was provided to the experimental group, and an essence base not containing Abelmoschus manihot was provided to the control group. Participants were asked to use the product in the morning and evening after washing their face. We checked the skin change status every 2 weeks and performed the test 3 times for 6 weeks. Results : In the case of t-zone oil and pores, there was a significant decrease in the experimental group. In the case of moisture, a significant increase was observed in the control group, but the significance was significantly increased when the essence containing A-M was used. In the case of elasticity, it was found that the experimental group continued to increase with the period of use. Conclusion : It is thought that the essence containing A-M will be effective in preventing skin aging through the reduction of t-zone oil, the size of the pores, and the increase in moisture and elasticity.
