Here, we engineered spheroids by using ECM mimicking nano-fragments (NFs) with fibroblasts and investigated their effect on proliferation and cell/ECM interactions. NF incorporation resulted in formation of a stable spheroid, which improved proliferation and viability of cells by assisting oxygen transport confirmed by LOX-1 staining. In addition, hypoxic and apoptotic genes were significantly downregulated in spheroids with PD-NFs. Furthermore, ECM and cell junction proteins were highly expressed. Overall, our findings suggest that incorporation of NFs within spheroids for assembly with various cell types can be an alternative approach for 3D cell culture in many applications.

A public pedestrian passage induces traffic into the apartment complex, and therefore, it requires the application of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED). This paper aims to analyze the conditions and to suggest the improvements of public pedestrian passages in apartment complexes, applying a 3-D approach from CPTED aspect. The first aspect is "Designation": 1)The linkage between the public pedestrian passages is weak, and their designated purpose becomes unclear. 2)When the designated purpose is not considered for each complex, the closure rate is high. 3)The closure rate of the "Through type" is high. It suggests that the pedestrian network should be built and vitalized at the local urban level. The second aspect is "Definition." The public pedestrian passage lacks a social, cultural, and legal definition and only has a passive physical definition. It suggests that a legal definition and specialized guildline be prepared. The third aspect is "Design": 1)Insufficient territoriality exists between the public pedestrian passage and the inside of the complex. Territoriality should be reinforced between the public pedestrian passage and the rest of the internal territory. 2)The landscaping adjacent to the public pedestrian passage lacks deliberation. Since this is where safety and privacy collide, detailed design and maintenance of the landscaping is required. 3)It lacks systematical crime prevention facilities and should compensate accordingly.

본 논문에서는 High-Order QAM(Quandrature Amplitude Modulation)을 적용하는 모뎀에서 강인하고 넓은 범위의 주파수 포착 범위를 가지는 극성판단(Polarity Decision) 반송파 동기용 PD(Phase Detector) 알고리즘을 제안하고 이에 대한 평균 출력특성(S-curve)과 분산특성을 수학적으로 유도하여 기존의 DD(Decision Directed)방식과 비교 분석한다. 기존의 DD 방식의 선형영역은 256 QAM의 경우 $3.5^{\circ}{\sim}3.5^{\circ}$ 이었으나 제안한 알고리즘의 선형영역은 ${\gamma}-17.9$에서 $36^{\circ}{\sim}36^{\circ}$ 의 넓은 구간을 가진다. 또한 기존의 DD 방식에서는 256 QAM의 주파수 오프셋 포착 성능이 ${\pm}10\;KHz$ 이하였다. 이는 아날로그 front-end 회로에서 주파수 오프셋이 일반적으로 ${\pm}100\;KHz$ 정도까지 줄어들 수 잇는 것을 감안하면 AFC(Automatic Frequency Control) 또는 반송파 복구를 위한 보조적인 위상검출회로가 필요하게 됨을 의미한다. 그러나 제안된 극성판단 반송파 동기 알고리즘을 사용하면 보조적인 회로의 도움없이 SNR = 30 dB에서 최대 ${\pm}300\;KHz$의 주파수 오프셋까지도 포착 가능하다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the extracts from Vaccinium oldhamii on cell proliferation and the regulatory mechanisms of cyclin D1 protein level in human cancer cells. The branch extracts from Vaccinium oldhamii (VOB) showed higher inhibitor effect against the cell growth than leave extracts (VOL) and fruit extracts (VOF) in human colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, non-small lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer cells. In addition, VOB decreased cyclin D1 level at both protein and mRNA level. MG132 treatment attenuated VOB-mediated cyclin D1 downregulation. A point mutation of threonine-286 to alanine attenuated cyclin D1 degradation by VOB. In addition, the inhibition of nuclear export by leptomycin B (LMB) attenuated cyclin D1 degradation by VOB. But, the treatment of PD98059 (ERK1/2 inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 inhibitor), SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), LiCl ($GSK3{\beta}$ inhibitor), LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) or BAY 11-7082 ($I{\kappa}K$ inhibitor) did not affect VOB-induced cyclin D1 degradation. In conclusion, VOB induced cyclin D1 degradation through redistribution of cyclin D1 from the nucleus to cytoplasm via T286 phosphorylation of cyclin D1, which resulted in the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the Deep Neural Networks(DNN) model to classify user's emotions, in particular Electroencephalography(EEG) toward Virtual-Reality(VR) based 3D design alternatives. Four different types of VR Space were constructed to measure a user's emotion and EEG was measured for each stimulus. In addition to the quantitative evaluation based on EEG data, a questionnaire was conducted to qualitatively check whether there is a difference between VR stimuli. As a result, there is a significant difference between plan types according to the normalized ranking method. Therefore, the value of the subjective questionnaire was used as labeling data and collected EEG data was used for a feature value in the DNN model. Google TensorFlow was used to build and train the model. The accuracy of the developed model was 98.9%, which is higher than in previous studies. This indicates that there is a possibility of VR and Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) processing would affect the accuracy of the model, which means that it is possible to classify a user's emotions toward VR based 3D design alternatives by measuring the EEG with this model.

솔더 조인트의 신뢰성 강화를 위해서 다양한 pad finish material이 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 Electroless Ni Electroless Pd Immersion Gold (이하 ENEPIG) pad가 많이 사용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 상용화 되어 사용중인 Electrolytic Ni (soft Ni) pad와 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 ENEPIG pad에 대한 신뢰성 평가에 관한 것으로, 다양한 Cu 함량에 따른 거동을 관찰 하였다. Reflow 후 솔더와 pad간의 접합층은 $Cu_6Sn_5$에 Ni이 치환된 형태의 금속간 화합물로 구성되어 있었으며, ENEPIG pad의 경우, 접합층과 Ni layer 사이에 $Ni_3P$ (dark layer) layer가 관찰 되었다. 또한, Cu 함량에 따라 Dark layer의 두께를 제어할 수 있었다. 충격 낙하 시험 후, 파괴모드를 관찰한 결과 soft Ni pad와 ENEPIG pad에서 서로 다른 파괴모드가 관찰 되었으며, soft Ni의 경우, 1차 IMC와 2차 IMC 경계에서 파괴가 관찰 되었고, ENEPIG pad의 경우, dark layer에서 파괴가 관찰 되었다. IMC와 pad material, bulk 솔더와의 lattice mismatch에 의해 불안정한 계면이 존재하며, 이는 연속적인 외부 충격에 의해 가해진 열적, 물리적 스트레스를 IMC 계면으로 전송하기 때문에, 솔더의 신뢰성 향상을 위해서는 솔더 벌크의 제어와 IMC의 두께 및 형상의 제어는 필요하다.

Obatoclax, a pan-Bcl2 inhibitor, shows antitumor activities in various solid malignancies. Bcl2-deficient mice have shown the importance of Bcl2 in osteoclasts, as the bone mass of the mice was increased by the induced apoptosis of osteoclasts. Despite the importance of Bcl2, the effects of obatoclax on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast precursors have not been studied extensively. Here, we describe the anti-proliferative effects of obatoclax on osteoclast precursors and its negative role on fusion of the cells. Stimulation with low doses of obatoclax significantly suppressed the proliferation of osteoclast precursors in a dose-dependent manner while the apoptosis was markedly increased. Its stimulation was sufficient to block the activation of ERK MAP kinase by RANKL. The same was true when PD98059, an ERK inhibitor, was administered to osteoclast precursors. The activation of JNK1/2 and p38 MAP kinase, necessary for osteoclast differentiation, by RANKL was not affected by obatoclax. Interestingly, whereas the number of TRAP-positive mononuclear cells was increased by both obatoclax and PD98059, fused, multinucleated cells larger than $100{\pm}m$ in diameter containing more than 20 nuclei were completely reduced. Consistently, obatoclax failed to regulate the expression of osteoclast marker genes, including c-Fos, TRAP, RANK and CtsK. Instead, the expression of DC-STAMP and Atp6v0d2, genes that regulate osteoclast fusion, by RANKL was significantly abrogated by both obatoclax and PD98059. Taken together, these results suggest that obatoclax down-regulates the proliferation and fusion of osteoclast precursors through the inhibition of the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway.

Micro-pulling down(${\mu}-PD$)법을 이용하여 직경 2mm, 길이 $15{\sim}25\;mm$의 Zn와 Yb가 첨가된 near-stoichiometric 조성의 $LiNbO_3$ 단결정을 성장하였다. 일정 직경의 매끄럽고 결함이 없는 양질의 단결정임을 확인하였고, 결정 내 첨가된 Zn와 Yb의 조성이 고루 분포되었음을 알 수 있었다. Raman spectra를 통해 나타난 모든 peak은 $LiNbO_3$ power의 peak과 일치함을 알 수 있었고, 이를 통해 Hexagonal 구조의 $LiNbO_3$가 성장되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. Zn의 첨가량 증가에 따른 IR 영역의 투과도 비교를 통해 광손상을 억제에 효과가 있는 Zn 첨가의 역치량이 1 mol%임을 알 수 있었다.

Astragalus membranaceus Bunge is used in herbal medicine in Eastern Asian countries including Korea. In this study, we assessed the effects of A. membranaceus extract (AM) on the aquaporin-3 (AQP3) protein expression in HaCaT cells. AM did not affect viability of HaCaT cells. AQP3 expression and cell migration seem to be maximal at $100{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitor, PD153035, blocked AM-induced AQP3 expression and cell migration. In addition, an 80% ethanol extracts of herbal prescription, SinhyoTakleesan (ST), which is composed of A. membranaceus, Angelicae gigantis, Glycyrrhiza glabra Linne, and Lonicera japonica Flos also induced AQP3 expression at $20{\mu}g/mL$ in HaCaT cells. Collectively, these results suggest that AM induce AQP3 expression via EGFR pathway.
