The Fourier series uses a vibrating wave that possesses an amplitude that is like the one of the sine curve. Therefore, the functions used in the Fourier series do not change due to the value of the frequency and that set a limit to express irregular signals with rapid oscillations or with discontinuities in localized regions. However, the wavelet series analysis(WSA) method supplements these limits of the Fourier series by a linear combination of a suitable number of wavelets. By using the wavelet that is focused on time, it is able to give changes to the range in the cycle. Also, this enables to express a signal more efficiently that has singular configuration and that is flowing. The main objective of this study is to propose a scheme called wavelet series analysis for the application of wavelet theory to one-dimensional problems represented by the second-order elliptic equation and to evaluate theperformance of proposed scheme comparing with the finite element analysis. After a through evaluation of different types of wavelets, the HAT wavelet system is chosen as a wavelet function as well as a scaling function. It can be stated that the WSA method is as efficient as the FEA method in the case of axial bars with distributed loads, but the WSA method is more accurate than the FEA method at the singular points and its computation time is less.

The electrochemical behaviors of dissolved hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide at a platinum disk electrode were investigated in boric acid solution by potentiostatic polarization method at the temperature of 25 and $200^{\circ}C$. The oxidation of dissolved hydrogen at $25^{\circ}C$ was kinetically controlled reaction, the rate of which depends upon the electron transfer on the electrode surface. As temperature was raised, however, the electrochemical characteristics of dissolved hydrogen were changed from a kinetically controlled reaction to a diffusion controlled one. One notable feature, with dissolved hydrogen at high temperature, is that an abnormal potential range was observed, where the oxidation rate of dissolved hydrogen rapidly decreased just before starting potential of water oxidation. We think it is caused by the deactivation of the electrode that results from the adsorption of hydroxyl ion on the surface of the platinum disk. On the contrary, a definite change with temperature was not identified in the case of the hydrogen peroxide except for the increase in current density that was due to the increasing diffusion coefcient with an increase of temperature.

The reverse detection heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, HMQC study of metcyano complex of horse myoglobin(MbCN) has provided the complete assignment of hyperfine shifted resonances of heme carbons attached with proton(s). The application of HMQC experiment to the paramagnetic low-spin MbCN gives clear $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ coherences for the paramagnetic amino acid residues as well as heme side chains, and can be extended to the low-spin paramagnetic hemoprotein derivative for the assignment of natural abundance $^{13}C$ resonances. This assignment strategy can avoid possible ambiguities that may result from the sole utilization of $^1H$ nuclear Overhauser effect for the assignment of heme $^1H$ signals resonating in the diamagnetic region. The resulting 2,4-vinyl ${\alpha}$-carbons and 7-propionate ${\beta}$-carbon follow anomalous anti-Curie behavior, and are indicative of incoplanarity with heme plane. Magnetic/electronic asymmetry of heme induced by proximal histidine(His) makes spread that the hyperfine shifted heme carbon resonances over the range of 250 ppm at $25^{\circ}C$. These heme carbon resonances would be the much more sensitive probe than those of proton resonances in analyzing the nature of heme electronic structure of myoglobin.

강한 결정 방향 의존성과 낮은 항정계를 갖는 Bi4Ti3O12 강유전체 박막은 NDRO형 비휘발성 강유전체 메모리 분야에서 매우 유망한 재료이다. 이를 위해서는 실리콘 기판과의 계면조절과 실리콘 기판성에서 고품질의 강유전성 박막을 성장시키는 기술이 필수적이다. MOCVD에 의한 Bi4Ti3O12 의 증착에서는 Bi 성분의 강한 휘발 특성과 낮은 반응성으로 인하여 조성과 두께 등의 조절이 매우 어렵다. 따라서 화학기상증착의 기구를 이해하고 제어하는 기술이 양질의 박막을 얻는데 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 유기금속 원료 TPB, TIP 과 산소를 이용하여 실리콘 기판위에 Bi4Ti3O12 강유전체 박막을 증착할 때, 증착 변수의 변화에 따른 박막의 증착 거동과 구조적, 전기적 특성을 연계하여 분석하였다. 특히 기판부착력이 낮고 휘발성이 강한 Bi의 특성으로 인한 문제를 개선하기 위하여 TIP원료를 주기적으로 공급, 중단을 반복하는 펄스주입법을 고안하여 그 효과를 살펴보았다. 실리콘 기판위에서 TiO2의 증착속도는 실험온도 영역에서 온도에 따라 변화하지 않는 전형적인 물질 전달에 의해 지배되는 양상을 나타내었다. 반면 Bi2O3 경우에는 50$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 급격하게 증착속도가 감소하는 특이한 경향을 나타내었으며 이는 Bi2O3의 높은 휘발성 때문일 것이다. Bi4Ti3O12 박막은 온도증가에 따라 증착속도가 증가한 후 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 포화되는 경향을 보였다. 이로부터 실리콘 기판위에서의 Bi4Ti3O12 박막의 증착 모델을 제시하였다. Bi2O3에 비해 상대적으로 표면 부착력이 월등히 큰 TiO2가 우선적으로 실리콘 펴면에 형성된 후 TPB 유기금속 원료가 이 TiO2와 반응하는 과정으로 Bi4Ti3O12 박막이 증착된다. $600^{\circ}C$이상에서는 증착 변수들을 바꾸어도 물성이 변하지 않는 자기조절기능이 있음을 알 수 있었는데 이는 고온에서의 Bi2O3의 강한 휘발성 때문일 것이다. 실리콘 기판에서 층상 페로브스카이트 상은 58$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 형성되며, 매우 좁은 온도 변화에도 결정구조, 박막현상 및 성분이 크게 바뀌는 온도에 민감한 증착거동이 관찰되었다. 증착 모델에서 예견되는 Bi의 불리함을 개선하기 위해 펄스주입법을 실시한 경우 Bi의 성분량이 증가되었고 결정성이 향상되었다. 이로부터 펄스주입법이 박막내에 부족하기 쉬운 Bi를 보충하여 박막의 특성을 개선함을 확인하였다. Bi4Ti3O12 박막의 증착온도에 따른 누설전류 특성 측정 결과 증착온도가 감소할수록 누설전류가 감소함을 알 수 있었고 펄스주입법이 연속주입법보다 더 낮은 누설전류를 보임을 알았다. 펄스주입법의 경우 -2.5V 인가 시의 누설전류는 7.4$\times$10-8A/cm2에서 1.3$\times$10+7A/cm2의 매우 우수한 값을 가졌다. 연속 주입법에 의해 증착된 박막은 C-V 측정 결과 강유전성 이력이 나타나지 않았으나, $600^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 펄스주입법에 의해 증착된 박박은 강유전성 이력을 나타내었다.

In order to characterize the microscopic fracture behaviour of the weldment din stress corrosion cracking(SCC) phenomena, SCC and acoustic emission(AE) tests were carried out simultaneously and the correlation between mechanical paramenters obtained from SCC and AE tests was investigated. In the case of base metal, much more AE events were produced at -0.5V than at -0.8V because of the dissolution mechanism before the maximum load. Regardless of the applied voltages to the specimens, however, AE events decreased after the maximum load. In the case of weldment, lots of AE events with larger amplitude $range(40{\sim}100dB)$ were produced because of the singularities of weld HAZ in comparision to the base metal and post-weld heat-treated(PWHT) specimens. Numerous and larger cracks for the weldment were observed on the fractured surfaces by SEM examination. From these results, it was concluded that SCC for the weldment appeared most severely in synthetic seawater. Weld HAZ was softened by PWHT which also contributed to the reduced susceptibility to corrosive environment in comparison to the weldment.

The transport and optical properties of $In_2O_3$:Zn(IZO) thin films grown by DC magnetron sputtering deposition have been studied. The deposition temperatures ($T_s$) were varied from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$ in $50^{\circ}C$ steps. The IZO films are an amorphous phase for $T_s$<$300^{\circ}C$ and polycrystalline phase for $350^{\circ}C$＜$T_s$. In contrast to ordinary films, amorphous IZO films have lower resistivity and higher optical transmittance than polycrystalline IZO films. The resistivity of amorphous IZO was in the range of 0.29~0.4 m$\Omega$cm and that of polycrystalline IZO was in the range of 1~4 m$\Omega$cm. The carrier type for IZO film was found to be n-type, and the carrier density, was $3~5{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$. The Hall mobility, $({\mu}_H)$, was 20~$50\textrm{cm}^2$/V.sec. The predominant scattering mechanisms in both amorphous and polycrystalline IZO films were believed to be ionized impurity scattering and lattice scattering. The visible transmittance of the IZO films, which decreases with an increase of TS, was above 80%.

This study was carried out to identify of C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside) from mulberry fruits and quantify with different varieties. C3G of mulberry fruits was extracted with 1％ HCl-MeOH and purified with open column (5${\times}$90cm) which filled with Amberlite IRC-50 ion exchange resin. The $\lambda$max ranges of the purified C3G on UV/vis spectrum were 516nm and 280nm. Also, molecular weight of C3G from mulberry fruits by LC-Mass was determined as 449. From above results, we concluded that anthocyanin pigment of mulberry fruits was C3G only. The cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) was separated and quantified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system using a Nova-Pack C$\_$18/ column. Mean content of the 35 tested accessions was 0.89％. Also fruity characteristics as well as C3G content to select the desirable mulberry varieties for the production of fruit were researched and analyzed. We selected three suitable varieties such as 'Susungppong', 'Kangsun', and 'Jeolgokchosaeng(Chungpuk)'.

Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP) plays an important role in protecting the lungs from inflammation. This research focuses on identifying the cis-element for binding the repressor of CCSP gene expression. A DNase I footprinting experiment revealed three protected regions between -812 and -768 bp (45 bp) of the mCCSP promoter. One motif (D3: GCCTGGGAA) was 100% conserved across rat, hamster, and human. The addition of excess amounts of the D3 motif exhibited high competition within that 45 bp range in an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. However, when mutated D3 ($G{\underline{AA}}TG{\underline{TT}}AA$) was used, the competition was significantly reduced. This demonstrates that the D3 motif within that 45 bp region of the mCCSP promoter is an important site for the protein-DNA interaction. Transient transfection assays with -756 Luc resulted in highly decreased expression of CCSP than those with -812 Luc, suggesting that the 45 bp could function as a binding site for the repressor. Co-transfection of KLF4 exhibited significant repression of the -812 Luc but not the -768 Luc which clearly shows that KLF4 might function as a repressor for the CCSP gene and also suggests that the D3 motif is strongly involved in the binding of KLF4. In addition, when anti-KLF4 antibody was added, super-shifted bands were observed. This result demonstrates that KLF4 could function as a repressor by binding to this 45 bp region of the CCSP promoter and that the D3 motif might be involved in the specific binding of KLF4.

Pig CD45, the leukocyte common antigen, is encoded by the PTPRC gene and CD45 is a T cell-type specific tyrosine phosphatase with alternative splicing of its exons. The CD45 is a coordinated regulator of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signal transduction achieved by dephosphorylating the phosphotyrosine of its substances, including $CD3{\zeta}$ chain of TCR, Lck, Fyn, and Zap-70 kinase. A dysregulation of CD45 is associated with a multitude of immune disease and has been a target for immuno-drug discovery. To characterize its key structural features with the effects of regulating TCR signaling, this study predicted the unknown structure of pig CD45RO (the smallest isoform) and the complex structure bound to the ITAM (REEpYDV) of $CD3{\zeta}$ chain via homology modeling and docking the peptide, based on the known human CD45 structures. These features were integrated into the structural plasticity of extracellular domains and functional KNRY and PTP signature motifs (the role of a narrow entrance into ITAM binding site) of the tyrosine phosphatase domains in a cytoplasmic region from pig CD45RO. This contributes to the selective recognition of phosphotyrosine from its substrates by adjusting the structural stability and binding affinity of the complex. The characterized features of pigCD45RO can be applied in virtual screening of the T-cell specific immunomodulator.
