  • [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)$_2$(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)]$^{2+}$(RuBDc) is a very photostable probe that possesses favorable photophysical properties including long lifetime, high quantum yield, large Stokes' shift, and highly polarized emission. To evaluate the usefulness of this luminophore (RuBDc) for studying macromolecular dynamics, its intensity and anisotropy decays when conjugated to RNA bacteriophage MS2 were examined using frequency-domain fluorometry with a high-intensity, blue light-emitting diode (LED) as the modulated light source. The intensity decays were best fit by a sum of two exponentials, and the mean intensity decay time was 442.2 ns. The anisotropy decay data showed a single rotational correlation time (2334.9 ns), which is typical for a spherical molecule. The use of RuBDc enabled us to measure the rotational correlation time up to several microseconds. These results indicate that RuBDc can be useful for studying rotational diffusion of biological macromolecules.s.

  • A bidirectional DC-DC converter (BDC) is an indispensable electrical unit for the electric vehicles (EVs). High efficiency, high power density, isolation, light weight and reliability are all essential requirements for BDC. In this paper, a 3 kW BDC for the battery charger of EVs is proposed. The proposed converter consists of a half-bridge structure on the primary side and an isolation transformer and a synchronous rectifier structure on the secondary side. With this topology, minimum number of switching devices are required for bidirectional power flow between the two dc buses of EVs. The easy implementation of the synchronous rectification gives advantages in terms of efficiency, cost and flexibility. The proposed BDC achieves high efficiency when operating in both modes (step-up and step-down). A 3 kW prototype is implemented to verify theoretical analysis and the performance of the proposed converter.

  • 운항하는 선박의 특성상 미래 상태를 반영한 예방정비는 선박의 안전한 운항과 운영비용 절감에 중요한 요인이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 선박 엔진의 세 가지 주요 베어링의 마모 상태를 모니터링하고 앞으로의 마모 정도를 예측하는 시스템을 설계하였다. 목표하는 시스템은 현재의 BDC(실린더 하사점) 레벨 데이터 뿐만 아니라 취득한 BDC 레벨 데이터를 시계열 모형으로 예측한 미래값도 보여줄 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위하여 BWM(베어링 마모도 모니터링)의 프로토타입을 제작하고 이 장치로부터 BDC 레벨 데이터를 취득하였다. 이 과정에서 예측한 BDC 레벨과 실측 데이터를 비교해서 시계열 모형을 이용한 마모도 예측 방법이 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • 그간 Venture Debt은 벤처기업의 스케일업을 촉진하는 수단으로 인식되어 왔으나, 경기하강 국면에서는 투자유치가 여의치 않은 벤처기업에 유동성을 제공하는 자금공급수단으로서의 중요성이 부각된다. 한편, 2023년 3월 SVB의 파산으로 Venture Debt 취급기관의 지속가능성에 대한 우려가 부각되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대출재원의 지속가능성을 염두에 두고, 경기침체기 대안적 자금 공급수단으로서 Venture Debt 활성화방안을 연구하였다. 선행연구들은 주로 전통적 Venture Debt을 분석대상으로 하였으나, 본 연구에서는 벤처생태계의 성장과 경기사이클 변화에 따라 다양해지고 있는 Venture Debt을 유형별로 분석하였다. Venture Debt 유형을 전통적, Growth형, 유동성 지원형으로 구분하고, 각각 SVB, EIB(유럽투자은행), 해외 벤처유동성 지원사례를 중심으로 구조적 특징과 차이점을 분석하였고, 직접대출방식과 BDC 등 간접대출방식을 비교 분석하였다. 이와 함께, 경제성, 시장성, 대출재원 확보가능성 차원에서 국내 도입환경에 대한 실무적·법률적 검토를 병행하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내 활성화방안으로 채권형 BDC 활성화를 통한 민간재원 활용, 벤처전용 유동성지원 프로그램 마련, 제2데스밸리 극복을 위한 Growth형 벤처대출 도입, 독립형 워런트 발행을 위한 법적 근거 마련 등을 제안한다.

  • The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine whether there are significant relations among rankings of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation. For this purpose, the study uses the KWAH-4 method developed by the Web Accessibility Laboratory in Korea, website evaluation method developed by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), and the cross-efficiency model for 13 Asian container seaports including Korean, Chinese, and Japanese main ports in 3 years (2009, 2010, and 2013) using data for two cases: three inputs (depth, total area, and number of crane) and one output (TEU) in the first case and three inputs and two outputs (TEU and BDC overall score) in the second case. The main empirical results are as follows. First, the ranking orders of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation overall scores are not significantly correlated with each other. Second, if the BDC overall score is included in the output element, the correlation results are improved. However, the correlation coefficient is still low. The container port policy planners should introduce and consider the web accessibility and website evaluation scores when evaluating an efficiency-increasing plan for Korea's main container ports.

  • Boil-dried concentrate (BDC) and steam-dried concentrate (SDC) were prepared from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus roe using the cook-dried process, and their food functionality and in vitro bioactivity were examined. The buffer capacity of BDC and SDC was found to be stronger in the alkaline region than in the acidic region, and the buffer capacity of SDC was superior to that of BDC. The water holding capacities of these concentrates were 7.6 and 7.4 g/g protein, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than that of freeze-dried concentrate (FDC). The solubility of BDC (13.4%) and SDC (12.7%), foaming capacity of BDC (107.7%) and SDC (110.6%), and oil-in-water emulsifying activity index of BDC (7.7 m2/g) and SDC (9.7 m2/g) were all significantly lower than the corresponding values for FDC (P<0.05). The lower food functionality of BDC and SDC compared with FDC can be attributed to the high-temperature denaturation of proteins during the cook-dried process. The 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical scavenging activities (IC50) of SDC (2.5 mg protein/mL) was 60.4 ㎍/mL, and the angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory activity was 80.9%. Olive flounder roe concentrates have good antioxidant and antihypertensive activities, and can be used as materials or ingredients in the processing of seafood and other foods to enhance protein contents and food functionality.

  • We rationally designed and synthesized metallopolymers with organic 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BDC) linkers with different lengths of oxyethylene side chains in order to examine the influence of side chains on the coordination characteristics. While in a previous report the BDC linkers with alkyl side chains were found to form three-dimensional (3D) isoreticular metal-organic framework (IRMOF) structures or one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymeric structures with short $-O(CH_2)_6CH_3$ or long $-O(CH_2)_9CH_3$ side chains, respectively, new BDC linkers with oxyethylene side chains of the same lengths, $-(OCH_2CH_2)_2CH_3$ and $-(OCH_2CH_2)_3CH_3$, form only 3D IRMOF structures. This result is attributed to the higher flexibility and smaller volume of oxyethylene side chains compared to alkyl side chains.

  • A new organic Schiff base compound N-benzylidene-2,5-dichloroaniline (BDC) was synthesized and the structure of the Schiff base is illuminated by some spectroscopic techniques. In addition, whether it is an applicable inhibitor in the industrial field was examined by conventional methods such as linear polarization resistance (LPR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization for different concentrations. The BDC concentration and temperature effects were surveyed for elucidating the inhibitive mechanism. The BDC molecules are adsorbed to surface of mild steel via the Langmuir isotherm. Atomic force (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were utilized to give insight into surface characterization.
