This study was performed to know watertightness and reduction effect and crack occurred by hydration heat, restraint of multiplication of hydration heat, through mechanical test, strength test and crack control test using fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound made from by-product during phosphoric acid manufacturing process. Mix proportions for experiment were modulated at 0.45 of water to cement ratio and $0.5-2.0\%$ of adding ratio of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound. Evaluation for watertightness of concrete was carried out permeability, absorption test and porosity analysis. Effect of crack reduction was evaluated by length, drying shrinkage as well as stress change of hardened concrete at unrestraint/restraint state and also elucidated crack pattern on the concrete surface. It is ascertained that characteristics of crack resistance and watertightness for concrete was improved by an adequate addition of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound.

As one of the steps toward understanding how the plant is well adapted to strongly saline habitats, the purple pigment compound that is accumulated in Suaeda japonica was extracted and characterized. The extracted pigment compound exhibited typical characteristics of betacyanin that were represented by water solubility, pH- and temperature-dependent color changes, sensitivity to light, UV-Vis spectra, and gel electrophoretic migration pattern. LC-MS of the extracted pigment compound showed the presence of two major protonated molecular ions ($[M+H]^+$) at m/z 651.1 and m/z 827.1. According to the DPPH assay, it was found to have an antioxidant activity that is linearly increased in proportion to the reaction time for up to 30 min, and the activity was comparable to that of control BHA at 9.0 mg/ml. The cytotoxic activity against several tumor cell lines was also examined following the MTT assay. The significant growth inhibitory effect was observed on two tumor cell lines, SW-156 (human kidney carcinoma) and HEC-1B (human endometrial adenocarcinoma). Probably, the pigment compound may function as an osmolyte to uphold halotolerant physiological processes in saline environment.

Bioassay-directed chromatographic fractionation of a methylene chloride extract of Ailanthus altisshima indicated the presence of 20(S), 24(R), epoxy-25-hydroxydammarane-3-one (compound 1, ocotillone) which was isolated from this plant, for the first time. Antimicrobial activity of compound 1 was measured by inhibition of bacterial and fungal cells growth and by a hemolytic assay with human erythrocytes, respectively. The results revealed that compound 1 had potent antibacterial activity against Cram-negative bacteria, P. aeruginosa and S. typhimurium, that were without hemolytic activity, whereas it had weak antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. These results demonstrated that the compound 1 has more antibacterial activity against 6ram-negative bacteria, which have no hemolytic activity, than Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. This is the first report on the biological activities of the compound 1.

The present study was conducted to investigate the anti-allergic activity of Gunggwihyangso-San(GHS). We investigated the anti-allergic effects of GHS in RBL-2H3 basophilic leukemia cells by compound 48/80, a mast cell degranulator and compound 48/80 induced anaphylactic shock in mice. Gunggwihyangso-San significantly inhibited ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase and histamine release from compound 48/80 stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, GHS effectively inhibited anaphylactic shock in mice by 50% at a dose 80 mg/mouse versus PBS treated control after the I.p injection(8 mg/kg) of compound 48/80. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activities of GHS in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were investigated. GHS inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and effectively dowregulated the expression of iNOS mRNA and iNOS protein expression in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. These result provide evidences that GHS may be beneficial in the treatment of allergic inflammtory disease.

In the course of screening for antioxidant compounds from natural plants in Korea by measuring the radical scavenging effect, a methanol extract of the flower buds of Daphne genkwa S. et Z. (Thymelaeaceae) was found to show a potent antioxidant activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of methanol extract of D. genkwa led to the isolation of four compounds from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction. The chemical structures were elucidated as genkwanin (1), 3'-hydroxygenkwanin (2), apigenin (3), and tiliroside (4) by spectroscopic techniques. Among them, compound 2 showed the significant anti-oxidative effect on DPPH. And compound 2 showed the significant riboflavin-and xanthine-originated superoxide quenching activities. To verify the antioxidant enzymatic activities of compound 2, the SOD enzymatic activity was measured spectrophtometrically using prepared Caenorhabditis elegans homogenates. The results showed that compound 2 was able to elevate SOD activity of C. elegans in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, compound 2 decreased the intracellular ROS accumulation of worms.

Compound verbs in Korean show properties of both syntactic phrases and lexical items. Earlier studies of compound verbs have either assumed two homonymous types, i.e. one as a syntactic phrase and the other as a lexical item, or posited some sort of transformation from a syntactic phrase into a lexical item. In this paper, I show empirical and conceptual problems for earlier studies, and present an alternative account in terms of Talmy's (2000) theory of lexicalization. Unlike Talmy who proposed [Path] conflation into [MOVE] for Korean, I suggest several types of [Co-Event] conflation; e.g. [$_{Co-Event}$ Manner] conflation as in kwul-e-kata 'to go by rolling', [$_{Co-Event}$ Concomitance] conflation as in ttal-a-kata 'to follow', [$_{Co-Event}$ Concurrent Result] conflation as in cap-a-kata 'to catch somebody and go', etc. The present proposal not only places Korean compound verbs in a broader picture of cross-linguistic generalizations, but, when viewed from Jackendoff's (1997) productive vs. semi-productive morphology, provides a natural account for classifying the compounds that allow -se intervention from those that do not.

Handayeolso-Tang(HDT) has been used as traditional medicine for the treatment of Taeumin TaeYang-Hanguel. The present study was conducted to investigate the anti-allergic activity of Handayeolso-Tang(HDT). We investigated the anti-allergic effects of HDT in RBL-2H3 basophilic leukemia cells by compound48/80, a mast cell degranulator and compound 48/80 induced anaphylactic shock in mice. HDT significantly inhibited ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ and histamine release from compound 48/80 stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, HDT effectively inhibited anaphylactic shock in mice by 45% at a dose 120 mg/mouse versus PBS treated control after the I.p injection(8 mg/kg) of compound 48/80. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activities of HDT in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were investigated. HDT inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and effectively dowregulated the expression of iNOS mRNA and iNOS protein expression in LPS -stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. These result provide evidences that HDT may be beneficial in the treatment of allergic inflammtory disease.

This study is investigated the supercooling improvement and the phase change temperature of the TMA clathrate compound including TMA(Tri-Methyl-Amine, ($(CH_3)_3N$) of 25 wt% with additive as a low temperature storage material at $6^{\circ}C$ and $-7^{\circ}C$ of heat source. The additive is ethanol of 0.1, 0.3 wt% and 0.5 wt%. The results showed that as the concentration of ethanol is increased, the phase change temperature, the degree of supercooling and the retention time of liquid phase are decreased. Especially, TMA 25 wt% clathrate compound with ethanol of 0.5wt% has the average of phase change temperature of $3.8^{\circ}C$, degree of supercooling of $0.9^{\circ}C$, $0.8^{\circ}C$ and retention time of liquid phase for 6, 5 minutes at $-6^{\circ}C$, $-7^{\circ}C$ of heat source. From the results of this study, TMA 25wt% clathrate compound with ethanol 0.5wt% showed supercooling repression effect.

Fully passivated low noise AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic (PM) HEMT with wide head T-shaped gates were fabricated by dose split electron beam lithography (DSL). The dimensions of gate head and footprint were optimized by controlling the splitted pattern size, dose, and spaces of each pattern. We obtained stable T-shaped gate of $0.15{\mu}m$ gate length with $1.35{\mu}m-wide$ head. The maximum extrinsic transconductance was 560 mS/mm. The minimum noise figure measured at 18 GHz at $V_{ds}=2V andI_{ds}=17mA$ was 0.41 dB with associated gain of 8.19 dB. At 12 GHz, the minimum noise figure and an associated gain were 0.26 and 10.25 dB, respectively. These noise figures are the lowest values ever reported for GaAs-based HEMTs. These results are attributed to the extremely low gate resistance of wide head T-shaped gate having a ratio of the head to footprint dimensions larger than 9.

Electrical compound action potential (ECAP) can be recorded on cochlear implant. This study will investigate stimulation and recording to enhance the efficacy of ECAP. 34 articles was used. We analyzed pulse and stimulating condition, artifact suppression, recording condition. The cathod-leading biphasic pulse was used with as short as possible pulse width and inter phase gap for the efficacy of neural firing, stable threshold and preventing neural degeneration. Around C-level was stimulated to apical, middle and basal turn of cochlea. Artifact was eliminated by forward-masking, template-subtraction technique. For clearer waveform, we need to change distance between stimulating and recording electrode, the gain of amplification, number of average.
