The objective of this study was to investigate the patterns of protein leaching to an external phase during an ethyl acetate-based, double emulsion microencapsulation process. An aqueous protein solution (lactoglobulin, lysozyme, or ribonuclease; $W_1$) was emulsified in ethyl acetate containing poly-d,l-lactide-co-glycolide 75:25. The $W_1/O$ emulsion was transferred to a 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol solution saturated with ethyl acetate $(W_2)$. After the double emulsion was stirred for 5, 15, 30, or 45 min, additional 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol $(W_3)$ was quickly added into the emulsion. This so-called quenching step helped convert emulsion microdroplets into microspheres. After 2-hr stirring, microspheres were collected and dried. The degree of protein leaching to $W_2$ and/or $W_3$ phase was monitored during the microencapsulation process. In a separate, comparative experiment, the profile of protein leaching to an external phase was investigated during the conventional methylene chloride-based microencapsulation process. When ethyl acetate was used as a dispersed solvent, proteins continued diffusing to the $W_2$ phase, as stirring went on. Therefore, the timing of ethyl acetate quenching played an important role in determining the degree of protein microencapsulation efficiency. For example, when quenching was peformed after 5-min stirring of the primary $W_1/O$ emulsion, the encapsulation efficiencies of lactoglobulin and ribonuclease were $55.1{\pm}4.2\;and\;45.3{\pm}7.6%$, respectively. In contrast, when quenching was carried out in 45 min, their respective encapsulation efficiencies were $39.6{\pm}3.2\;and\;29.9{\pm}11.2%$. By sharp contrast, different results were attained with the methylene-chloride based process: up to 2 hr-stirring of the primary and double emulsions, less than 5% of a protein appeared in $W_2$. Afterwards, it started to partition from $W_1\;to\;W_2/W_3$, and such a tendency was affected by the amount of PLGA75:25 used to make microspheres. Different solvent properties (e.g., water miscibility) and their effect on microsphere hardening were to be held answerable for such marked differences observed with the two microencapsulation processes.

[ $W-15wt.\%$ ] Cu nanocomposite powders are fabricated by ball-milling and subsequent hydrogen-reduction. The compacted parts of $W-15wt.\%Cu$ nanocomposite powders were sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 1 h with various heating rates of 5 and $20^{\circ}C/min$. The homogeneity of the sintered microstructures was evaluated through homogeneity index by the standard deviation of Victor's hardness test. The W-W contiguities were calculated by using Voronoi diagrams. The sintered microstructure with the heating rate of $20^{\circ}C/min$ was more homogeneous and had lower W-W contiguity than that of $5^{\circ}C/min$. The microstructural homogeneity was directly related to the W-W contiguity. Thermal conductivity of the sintered parts with the heating rate of $20^{\circ}C/min$ was higher than that with heating rate of $5^{\circ}C/min$. This phenomenon indicates that the thermal conductivity is affected by the W-W contiguity resulting from the homogeneity of the sintered microstructure.

This study was performed to examine the effects of therapeutic doses of ultrasound on cell migration distance and proliferation of biopsies from articular cartilage. Articular cartilage biopsies were isolated from proximal part of the tibial of chicken, and cultured. Cartilage explants were exposed for a single 5 min to ultrasound with $0.1{\sim}1.6\;W/cm^2$ (spatial average-temporal average) at a frequency of 1 MHz. A control group was treated with the ultrasound generator switched off. The cell migration distance and cell proliferation analysis were performed on day 6 after stimulation of ultrasound. The results revealed that ultrasound influenced cell migration distance and cell proliferation in intensity-dependent manner. It was found that ultrasounds at $0.2\;W/cm^2$, $0.4\;W/cm^2$, and $0.8\;W/cm^2$ were significantly increase respectively both cell migration distance and cell proliferation (p<0.05). However, cell migration distance and cell proliferation were not affected by exposure ultrasound at $0.1\;W/cm^2$ and $1.6\;W/cm^2$ compared with control group. These results suggest that low-intensity ultrasounds at $0.2\;W/cm^2$, $0.4\;W/cm^2$, and $0.8\;W/cm^2$ may stimulate cell proliferation of the chondroblasts, and reflect a potential role in cartilage repair.

The processing conditions fur the synthesis of platelet W $S_2$ lubricant powder through a solid-gas reaction were optimized. The mixture of tungsten and sulfur powders were sealed in a vacuum of 10$^{-6}$ torr, prior to heat-treating at 85$0^{\circ}C$ fur 8 days. The reaction product showed a well-developed platelet W $S_2$ powder with an average size of 3.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The TGA/DTA analysis of the synthesized W $S_2$ powder was performed up to 120$0^{\circ}C$ at a rate of 1$0^{\circ}C$/min in flowing air (100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/min) atmosphere. The weight loss was about 6% up to 120$0^{\circ}C$ compared to the original weight. A rapid weight loss of about 5% occurred in the temperature range of 44$0^{\circ}C$ to 66$0^{\circ}C$ and an exothermic peak observed due to the transition of W $S_2$ to W $O_3$. The synthesized W $S_2$powder was coated on the commercial deep grooved ball bearing (No. 6203) to examine the effect of W $S_2$, coating layer on the noise and endurance of the ball bearing. The level of noise obtained from W $S_2$, coated-ball bearing (56 ㏈) was higher. than the value (32 ㏈) occurred in the case of greece lubrication. The endurance of the ball-bearing assembled after the coating of W $S_2$ powder onto each part increased 50 times compared to the non-coated ball-bearing..

In this work, pure W and W-0.5wt%HfC alloy (WHC05) were fabricated by sintering and hot-rolling following the same processing route. After exposing to a high flux deuterium plasma irradiation with the D⁺ flux to three fluences of 6.00 × 10²⁴, 2.70 × 10²⁵ and 7.02 × 10²⁵ D/m², the evolution of surface morphology, deuterium retention and hardening behaviors in pure W and WHC05 has been studied. The SEM results show the formation of D blisters on the irradiated area, and with the increase of D implantation, the size of these blisters increases from 200 ~ 500 nm (2.70 × 10²⁵ D/m²) to 1 ~ 2 ㎛ (7.02 × 10²⁵ D/m²) in WHC05 and from 1 ~ 2 ㎛ (2.70 × 10²⁵ D/m²) to > 3 ㎛ (7.02 × 10²⁵ D/m²) in pure W, respectively. A higher D retention and obvious hardening are observed in pure W than that of the WHC05 alloy, indicating an improve radiation resistance in WHC05 compared to pure W.

최근 국내 반도체 장비 업체들에 의해서 차세대 반도체용 450 mm 웨이퍼 공정용 장비 개발이 진행 중에 있다. 반도체 산업은 계속해서 반도체 칩의 크기를 작게 하고, 웨이퍼 크기를 늘리면서 웨이퍼 당 칩수를 증가시켜 생산성을 향상해오고 있다. 현재 300 mm 웨이퍼에서 450 mm 웨이퍼를 도입하게 되면, 생산성 뿐만 아니라 30%의 비용절감과 50%의 cycle-time 단축이 기대되고 있다. 장비에 대한 이해와 공정에 대한 해석 능력을 위해 비용과 시간이 많이 들기 때문에 최근 컴퓨터를 활용한 수치 모델링이 진행되고 있다. 또한, 수치 모델링은 실험 결과와의 비교가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 450 mm 웨이퍼 공정용 장비의 전자밀도를 cut off probe를 통해 100 mTorr에 서 Ar 플라즈마를 파워에 따라 측정했다. 13.56 MHz 200 W, 500 W, 1,000 W로 입력 파워가 증가하면서 웨이퍼 중심에서 $6.0{\times}10^9#/cm^3$, $1.35{\times}10^{10}#/cm^3$, $2.4{\times}10^{10}#/cm^3$로 증가했다. 450 mm 웨이퍼 영역에서 전자 밀도의 불균일도는 각각 10.31%, 3.24%, 4.81% 였다. 또한, 이 450 mm 웨이퍼용 CCP 장비를 축대칭 2차원으로 형상화하고, 전극에 13.56 MHz를 직렬로 연결된 blocking capacitor ($1{\times}10^{-6}$ F/$m^2$)를 통해 인가할 수 있도록 상용 유체 모델 소프트웨어(CFD-ACE+, EXI corp)를 이용하여 계산하였다. 주요 전자-중성 충돌 반응으로 momentum transfer, ionization, excitation, two-step ionization을 고려했고, $Ar^+$와 $Ar^*$의 표면 재결합 반응은 sticking coefficient를 1로 가정했다. CFD-ACE+의 CCP 모델을 통해 Poisson 방정식을 풀어서 sheath와 wave effect를 고려하였다. Stochastic heating을 고려하지 않았을 때, 플라즈마 흡수 파워가 80 W, 160 W, 240 W에서 실험 투입 전력 200 W, 500 W, 1,000 W일 때와 유사한 반경 방향의 플라즈마 밀도 분포를 보였다. 200 W, 500 W, 1,000 W일 때의 전자밀도 분포는 수치 모델링과 전 범위에서 각각 10%, 3%, 2%의 오차를 보였다. 450 mm의 전극에 13.56 MHz의 전력을 인가할 때, 파워가 증가할수록 전자밀도의 최대값의 위치가 웨이퍼 edge에서 중심으로 이동하고 있음을 실험과 모델링을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

The bioavailabilities of baicalin in water, oil, w/o and o/w emulsion were evaluated in rats. The dissolution rate of baicalin in o/w emulsion was smaller than those of w/o form in dilute hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2) and in PBS (pH 6.8). The absorption rate of baicalin from w/o emulsion was smaller than that of o/w emulsion in the different parts of rat intestine of the rats. Following oral administration in rats, the $C_{max}$ of baicalin from water phase, oil phase, o/w wand w/o emulsion were 2.11, 0.61, 1.57, and $1.35\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The relative bioavailability of w/o emusion was 129 % when it was compared with water phase. This result suggests that the improvement of bioavailability for baicalin in w/o emulsion might be practically available.
