The Brillouin spectrum of 4'-n-pentyl-4-cyano-biphenyl (5CB) liquid crystals homogeneously confined in a planar liquid crystal (LC) cell was measured using a 6-pass tandem Fabry-Perot interferometer. By adopting a special right-angle scattering geometry, the sound velocity of 5CB was estimated from the Brillouin shift without knowing the refractive index. The sound velocity of the longitudinal wave propagating along the direction of the directors aligned parallel to the glass plates of the LC cell was 1784${\pm}$7 m/s at 300 K. The attenuation coefficient $\alpha$ was estimated to be approximately $1.9{\times}10^6m^{-1}$, which is about twice as large as that of the longitudinal sound wave propagating along the direction perpendicular to the directors. The present method may be very useful in the evaluation of the elastic properties of the materials used in display devices, whose refractive indices are not known.

The washing effects on pretilt angle generation in a nematic liquid crystal (NLC), 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface with trifluoromethyl moiety have been successfully studied. The pretilt angle of 5CB is increased by the washing process on the rubbed PI surface. The surface tension on the rubbed PI surface increases with the rubbing strength RS and then saturated above RS: 150 mm. The pretilt angle of 5CB for all washing processes on the rubbed PI surface decreases with the surface tension. We have found that the pretilt angle of 5CB on the rubbed PI surface may be attributed van der walls (VDW) dispersion interaction between the LC molecules and the polymer surfaces having trifluoromethyl moieties.

Endocannabinoids can affect multiple cellular targets, such as cannabinoid (CB) receptors, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$($PPAR{\gamma}$). The stimuli to induce adipocyte differentiation in hBM-MSCs increase the gene transcription of the $CB_1$ receptor, TRPV1 and $PPAR{\gamma}$. In this study, the effects of three endocannabinoids, N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine (AEA), N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), on adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs were evaluated. The adipocyte differentiation was promoted by AEA whereas inhibited by NADA. No change was observed by the treatment of non-cytotoxic concentrations of 2-AG. The difference between AEA and NADA in the regulation of adipogenesis is associated with their effects on $PPAR{\gamma}$ transactivation. AEA can directly activate $PPAR{\gamma}$. The effect of AEA on $PPAR{\gamma}$ in hBM-MSCs may prevail over that on the $CB_1$ receptor mediated signal transduction, giving rise to the AEA-induced promotion of adipogenesis. In contrast, NADA had no effect on the $PPAR{\gamma}$ activity in the $PPAR{\gamma}$ transactivation assay. The inhibitory effect of NADA on adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs was reversed not by capsazepine, a TRPV1 antagonist, but by rimonabant, a $CB_1$ antagonist/inverse agonist. Rimonabant by itself promoted adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs, which may be interpreted as the result of the inverse agonism of the $CB_1$ receptor. This result suggests that the constantly active $CB_1$ receptor may contribute to suppress the adipocyte differentiation of hBM-MSCs. Therefore, the selective $CB_1$ agonists that are unable to affect cellular $PPAR{\gamma}$ activity inhibit adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs.

본 연구에서는 PTC 소자의 NTC 현상을 제거하기 위하여 카본블랙을 0.1-0.4 MPa의 압력으로 불소처리 한 후 이를 이용하여 카본블랙/HDPE 전도성 컴파운드를 제조하였다. 불소처리한 카본블랙의 표면특성 변화는 FT-IR, XPS 그리고 접촉각 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. FT-IR실험 결과, 불소처리된 카본블랙은 1400-1000 cm$^{-1}$ 영역에서 C-F 피크를 나타내며 처리압력이 증가할수록 C-F 피크의 세기가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, XPS 분석을 통해 불소처리 압력이 증가할수록 카본블랙 내의 불소의 함량이 증가함을 확인하였다. 그러나, 불소처리된 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지는 처리압력이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 결과로서, 카본블랙의 불소 처리를 통해 카본블랙/HDPE 컴파운드의 NTC 현상이 사라졌는데, 이는 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지 감소가 수지의 융점 이후 일어나는 카본블랙 입자간의 재결합을 방해하기 때문이라 사료된다.

This study analyzed atmospheric conditions for the convergent cloud band (Cu-Cb line) in developing stage and its neighbouring convections formed over the East Sea on 1 February 2012, by using synoptic, satellites data, and WRF numerical simulation output of high resolution. In both satellite images and the WRF numerical simulation outputs, the Cu-Cb line that stretched out toward northwest-southeast was shown in the East Sea, and cloud lines of the L mode were aligned in accordance with the prevailing surface wind direction. However, those of the T mode were aligned in the direction of NE-SW, which was nearly perpendicular direction to the surface winds. The directions of the wind shear vectors connecting top winds and bottom winds of the moist layers of the L mode and the T mode were identical with those of the cloud lines of L mode and T mode, respectively. From the WRF simulation convection circulations with a convergence in the lower layer of atmosphere and a divergence above 1.5 km ASL (Above Sea Level) were identified in the Cu-Cb line. A series of small sized vortexes (maximum vortex: $320{\times}10^{-5}s^{-1}$) of meso-${\gamma}$-scale formed by convergences was found along the Cu-Cb lines, suggesting that Cu-Cb lines, consisting of numerous convective clouds, were closely associated with a series of the small vortexes. There was an absolute unstable layer (${\partial}{\theta}/{\partial}z$ < 0) between sfc and ~0.3 km ASL, and a stable layer (${\partial}{\theta}/{\partial}z$ > 0) above ~2 km ASL over the Cu-Cb line and cloud zones. Not only convectively unstable layers (${\partial}{\theta}_e/{\partial}z$ < 0) but also neutral layers (${\partial}{\theta}_e/{\partial}z{\approx}=0$) in the lower atmosphere (sfc~1.5 km ASL) were scattered around over the cloud zones. Particularly, for the Cu-Cb line there were convectively unstable layers in the surface layer, and neutral layers (${\partial}{\theta}_e/{\partial}z{\approx}=0$) between 0.2 and ~1.5 km ASL over near the center of the Cu-Cb line, and the neutralization of unstable layers came from the release of convective instability.

The model production for large-scale (lateral length ≥ 2.0 m) capillary barrier (CB) model tests is time and cost-intensive. To address these limitations, the framework of a small-scale CB (SSCB) model test under the lateral no-flow condition has been established. In this study, to validate the experimental methodology of the SSCB model test, a series of seepage analyses on the SSCB model test and engineered slopes in the same and additional test conditions was performed. First, the seepage behavior and diversion length (L_D) of the CB system were investigated under three rainfall conditions. In the seepage analysis for the engineered slopes with different slope angles and sand layer thicknesses, the L_D increased with the increase in the slope angle and sand layer thickness, although the increase rate of the L_D with the sand layer thickness exhibited an upper limit. The L_D values from the seepage analysis agreed well with the results estimated from the laboratory SSCB mode test. Therefore, it can be concluded that the experimental methodology of the SSCB model test is one of the promising alternatives to efficiently evaluate the water-shielding performance of the CB system for an engineered slope.

커피의 생리활성을 증진시키기 위해 고체발효를 이용하여 인도네시아산 Mandheling 커피생두에 3종의 버섯 균사체(Phellinus linteus, PL; Hericium erinaceum, HE; Ganoderma lucidum, GL) 및 2종의 홍국균 균사체(Monascus purpureus, MP; Monascus ruber, MR)를 배양하였다. 균사체-고체발효 커피생두를 로스팅하여 얻은 원두커피는 decoction법에 의한 열수추출물과 reflux에 의한 에탄올추출물로 조제하였는데, 열수추출물(HW, 수율 17.7~25.3%)은 에탄올추출물(EE, 9.5~12.2%)보다 더 높은 수율을 나타내었다. 2종의 홍국균 균사체-고체발효 커피생두로부터 조제된 원두커피 열수추출물(MP-CB-HW, MR-CB-HW)은 비발효 원두커피 또는 3종 버섯 균사체-고체발효 원두커피 열수추출물보다 높은 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량과 DPPH 자유라디칼 소거능을 나타내었다. 또한, 홍국균 균사체-고체발효 원두커피 중에서도 MR-CB-HW는 가장 높은 마크로파지 활성과 마이토젠 활성을 나타내었다(CB-HW의 1.32배와 1.40배). MP-CB-EE와 MR-CB-EE는 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 시료농도에서 세포에 대한 독성을 나타내지 않으면서도 LPS로 유도된 RAW 264.7 세포의 산화질소(NO)의 생성을 효과적으로 억제하였다(LPS 처리군의 38.6과 37.0%). 한편, 홍국균 균사체를 이용한 고체발효는 카페인 함량에 영향을 주지 않으면서 클로로겐산을 유의적으로 증가시켰다($76.21{\sim}76.73{\mu}g/mL$). 결론적으로 원두커피의 생리활성은 M. purpureus 또는 M. ruber와 커피생두의 고체발효에 의해서 증진되었으며 이러한 결과는 홍국균-고체발효 원두커피가 기능성 커피음료의 소재로 이용될 가능성을 제시하는 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cytochalasin B (CB) treatment in the activation medium on the development of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) rat embryos. Fetal fibroblast cells were isolated from a Day 14.5 fetus, and the oocytes for recipient cytoplasm were recovered from 4-week old Sprague Dawley rats. After enucleation and nuclear injection, the reconstructed oocytes were immediately exposed to activation medium consisting of 10 mM $SrCl_2$ with or without CB for 4 hr, and formation of pseudo-pronucleus (PPN) was checked at 18 hr after activation. Then, they were transferred into day 1 pseudopregnant recipients (Hooded Wistar) or cultured for 5 days to check their developmental competence in vivo or in vitro. The number of PPN was not affected by CB treatment during the activation. However, CB treatment supported pre-implantation development of rat SCNT embryos. Embryos generated by the procedures of SCNT were also capable of implanting, with 1 implantation scar found from a recipient following the transfer of 87 SCNT embryos to four foster mothers. The result of the present study shows that rat SCNT embryo can develop to post-implantation stage following treatment with CB.
