Caseinomacropeptide (CMP) is a glycopeptide of 64 amino acid residues derived from the C-terminal of mammalian milk K-casein. Recently, human CMP (hCMP) was produced from the recombinant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, the antiobesity activity of the recombinant hCMP (rhCMP) was investigated in vivo using Sprague-Dawley rats. The rhCMP did not affect the rats fed with a normal fat diet (fat content, $5.0\%$), but decreased the body weight gain of the rats fed with a high fat diet (fat content, $20\%$) by up to $19\%$. Autopsies revealed that the weights of the liver, kidney and adipose tissues decreased when the rats were given the rhCMP, which also reduced the lipid concentrations in the plasma and liver, but enhanced the fecal excretion of lipids. These results suggest that rhCMP prevent the accumulation of lipid by stimulating its fecal excretion, so could be used as a food supplement to alleviate the obesity problem caused by a high fat diet.

para-Aramid has limited dyeability because of its highly crystalline structure and compactness. To improve the dyeability of the para-aramid to reactive dyes of bright color in deep shade, the fabrics were photografted under continuous UV irradiation with dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide and 4-benzoyl benzoic acid as a monomer and a hydrogen -abstractable photoinitiator respectively. A UV energy of 35J/$cm^2$ and a photoinitiator concentration of ten percent or more with respect to the monomer in the formulation was required for optimal photografting. Grafting yield increased with higher monomer application level. Surface analysis indicated significant alterations in the atomic composition of the photografted fabric surface and the fabric surface was covered with the grafted polymers. While the pristine para-aramid fabrics showed no appreciable dyeability to the ${\alpha}$-bromoacrylamide reactive dyes, the grafted para-aramid fabrics enhanced the dyeability to the reactive dyes substantially. In case of C.I. Reactive Blue 50, a K/S value of 8.7 can be obtained with the grafted para-aramid fabrics with a grafting yield of 2.3 %. Also the color fastness properties of the dyed fabrics was excellent in the conditions of washing, rubbing and light irradiation.

It was in the fifteenth century in Italy that men began to talk of a rebirth in the arts and literature. Today we consider the period to belong to the Renaissance. We noticed the splendour of costume and the important role it played, in the life of Italian society in that period. From elsewhere in Europe and also from the East, dyestuffs came to Italy overland or in shiploads. Red and blue, notably kermes and madder on the one hand, and indigo and woad on the other were fundamental textile dyes in Italy. Saffron was used for yellows, oak galls for blacks. Renaissance Italian costumes' main color symbolized various meaning. Red symbolized high rank, affection, lady, redemption and various cardinal virtueses. Yellow was evaded color which was symbolized the lower class, betrayal, and gold. Green symbolized penniless, youthfulness, hope and love. Blue symbolized humbleness, sincerity, knowledge and the Madonna. Purple symbolized nobility, vice and various meanings. Black symbolized death, grief, beauty and elegance. These color symbols in the Renaissance Italian costumes were very similar to that of modern color symbols.

In this study, we examined the effects of different concentrations of red pepper seed (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) on pH, total acidity, color, reducing sugar content, total microbes, lactic acid bacteria, and sensory quality, in terms of prolonging the shelf-life of kimchi. The additions of red pepper seed resulted in higher pH levels, while total acidity was lower than that of the control. The kimchi with red pepper seed had higher reducing sugar contents than the control. Furthermore, the kimchi with red pepper seed showed higher b-values than the control. During fermentation, the amounts of lactic acid bacteria and total microbes were higher in the kimchi with red pepper seed than in the control, and the higher ratios resulted in higher quality kimchi. The additions of red pepper seed also resulted in changes of color, flavor, taste, and texture, having a large influence on overall product quality. In conclusion, in terms of preservation and consumption, the 3% and 5% red pepper seed concentrations offered enhanced shelf-life and better quality kimchi products.

Microscopy has enabled the development of many advanced technologies, and higher level microscopic techniques are required according to the increase of research in nano-technology and bio-technology fields. Therefore, in many applications, we need to measure the dimension of micro-scale parts accurately, not just to observe their shapes. To establish the meter-traceability in microscopy, gratings have been widely used as a magnification standard. KRISS provides the certification service of magnification standards using an optical diffractometer and a metrological AFM (MAFM). They are based on different measurement principles, and so can give complementary information for each other. In this paper, we describe the configuration of each system and measurement procedures to certificate grating pitch values of magnification standards. Several measurement results are presented, and the discussion about them are also given. Using the optical diffractometer, we can calibrate a grating specimen with uncertainty of less than 50 pm. The MAFM can measure a grating specimen of down to 100 nm pitch value, and the calibrated values usually have uncertainty less than 500 pm.

Fibrous chitosan membranes were fabricated as a substrate for skin applications using an electro-spinning process with different solvents and varying concentrations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirmed that the formation of the chitosan fibrous membrane in trifluoroacetic acid was better than that in acetic acid. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the chitosan fibers were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, and that the cytotoxicity of the aldehyde groups was reduced by glycine and washing by NaOH and DI water. Chitosan cross-linked fibrous membranes were insoluble in water and could be washed thoroughly to wash away glycine and excess NaOH and prevent the infiltration of other water soluble bio-toxic agents using DI water. MTT assay method was employed to test the cytotoxicity of chitosan membranes during fabricating, treating and washing processes. After the dehydration of cell cultured chitosan membranes, cell attachment behavior on the material was evaluated using SEM method. Effect of the treatment processes on the biocompatibility of the chitosan membranes was shown by comparing of filopodium and lamellipodium of fibroblast cells on grown washed and unwashed chitosan fibrous membrane. The MTT assay and SEM morphology confirmed that the washed chitosan fibrous membrane increased cell attachment and cell growth, and decreased toxicity compared to results for the unwashed chitosan fibrous membrane.

알코올 환원법(alcohol reducing process)은 화학적 환원제가 필요하지 않은 화학합성법으로 메탄올, 에탄올, 프로판올, 이소프로판올, 부탄올 등 C1-C4의 알코올류, 에틸렌 글라이콜, 디에틸렌 글라이콜, 프로필렌 글라이콜과 같은 글리콜류 등이 용매이자 환원제로써 사용된다. 전형적으로 금속 전구체를 상기의 알코올류나 글리콜류에 용해 또는 분산시킨 후 그 용액을 환류 조건하에서 가열하게 되면 금속 이온과 용매간의 산화, 환원반응에 의하여 금속이온이 금속원자로 환원되며, 환원된 금속 입자들은 핵 행성과 성장 과정을 거쳐서 입자를 형성하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 알코올환원법을 이용하여 나노크기의 은입자제조를 시도하였고, 이를 PET 칩과의 마스터배치 제조을 시도하였으며, 이의 항균성능을 연구 고찰하였다. 30 ~ 80 nm의 은파우더를 제조할 수 있었으며, 우수한 항균성능을 갖는 Ag/PET 마스터배치를 제조할 수 있었다. 이를 활용하여 나노은입자기반의 항균섬유을 제조하여 이를 활용한 기모경편성물 제조의 기초데이타로 활용이 가능하리라고 사료된다.

방사 공정 최적화를 위해 칩(chip)건조를 실시하여 칩의 수분을 모두 제거한 후 실험을 진행하게 된다. 칩은 그 자체가 공정수분율(0.4%) 또는 그 이상의 수분을 함유하고 있으므로 건조하지 않고 방사하면 현저히 가수분해가 일어난다. 가수분해가 일어난다면 PET 분자량도 저하되어 고분자의 성질을 잃게 되어 방사된 섬유의 물리 화학적 성질에 중요한 영향을 받게 된다. 그러므로 가수분해를 방지하기 위하여 칩내 수분을 제거하는 건조 공정을 거치는 것이다. 개발된 나노은입자을 함유한 Ag/PET 마스터배치의 제사성 및 가연성 평가을 위한 파일럿연구를 행했다. 본 연구에서 사용한 은나노 M/B 칩(chip)의 경우 일반적으로 사용하는 PET 칩에 비하여 낮은 고유점도를 가지므로 방사성에 칩의 수분이 더욱 영향을 미칠 것이라 판단되어 건조공정에 특별한 주의을 하여 진행하였다. 마스터배치의 고유점도(IV)값의 변화에 따른 제사성 및 가연성 평가를 관찰하였다. #3 M/B 칩의 제사성이 #1 M/B 칩 대비 공정성이 개선되어 두 품종 모두 비출사가 발생하지 않았으며, M/B 제조시 분산제 유무에 따른 방사공정성의 차이는 없는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 #1 M/B 대비 공정성이 개선된 점은 M/B의 IV개선에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다.

나노소재기술은 기존 소재로는 얻을 수 없는 새로운 기능 및 특성을 나타낼 수 있어 산업전반에 적용할 수 있는 최첨단집적기술이다. 그러나 나노입자를 섬유에 첨가하여 기능성 섬유를 생산하는 경우 응집이 발생하는 등의 다양한 문제점이 발생하는데 이를 극복하기 위해서는 사이즈 분포를 제어하는 기술, 표면처리를 통해 분산성을 향상시키는 기술, 나노입자와 섬유와의 상용성을 개선하는 기술 등이 해결되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고기능성 및 고부가가치 경편파일 니트 원단을 개발하기 위해 은(Silver) 나노입자가 균일하게 분산된 M/B(Master Batch)를 제조하였으며, 이를 PET와의 용융 혼합 방사함으로써 0.5denier(75D/144F)급 원사에 99.9%의 영구적인 항균/소취 기능을 부여하였다. 또한 개발된 극세사를 이용하여 다양한 경편파일 원단을 설계하고, 기모, 염색 및 날염 등의 공정을 거쳐 나노기술융합형 화학섬유소재를 이용한 기능성 침장 제품을 개발하였다.
