Modern industry has focused on processing that produce low- loss dielectric substrates used complex micron-sized devices using tick film technologies such as tape casting and slip casting. However, these processes have inherent disadvantages fabricating high density interconnect with embedded passives for high speed communication electronic devices. Here, we have successfully fabricated porous alumina dielectric layer infiltrated with polymer solution by using inkjet printing process. Alumina suspensions were formulated as dielectric ink that were optimized to use in inkjet process. The layer was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) for measuring microstructure and volume fraction. In addition, the reaction kinetics and electrical properties were characterized by FT-IR and the impedance analyzer. The volume fraction of alumina in porous dielectric alumina layer is around 70% much higher than that in the conventional process. Furthermore, after infiltration on the dielectric layer using polymer resins such as cyanate ester. Excellent Q factors of the dielectric is about 200 when confirmed by impedance analyzer without any high temperature process.

A Multi-Spectral Camera (MSC) is the payload of KOMPSAT-2 which is designed for earth imaging in visible and near-Infrared region on a sun-synchronous orbit. The telescope in the MSC is a Ritchey-Chretien type with large aperture. The telescope structure should be well stabilized and the optical alignment should be kept steady so that best images can be achieved. However, the MSC is exposed to adverse thermal environment on the orbit which can give impacts on optical performance. Metering structure which is exposed to adverse space environment should have tight requirement of low thermal expansion and hygroscopic stability. In order to meet those stability requirements in addition to fundamental structural ones telescope structure was designed with newly developed graphite-cyanate composite which has high tensile modulus, high thermal conductivity and low moisture absorption compared with conventional graphite-epoxy composite. In this paper, space-borne telescope structure with new composite material will be presented and fulfillment of stability requirements will be verified with designed structure.

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is bacterial toxin that induces the activation of immune cells. Because the inhibition of pro-inflammatory effect of SEB can resolve the inflammation, I determined the influence of functional or structural change of SEB on immune cells. The post translational modification of protein occurs through carbamylation. Carbamylation can change the structure of proteins and can modify the biological activity of protein. In the present study, I investigated the effect of carbamylated SEB (CSEB) on the inflammatory response mediated by LPS in HL-60 cells. To determine the anti-inflammatory effect of CSEB, I produced carbamylated SEB using potassium cyanate (KCN) and then examined whether CSEB involved in cytokine releases and apoptosis of LPS-stimulated HL-60 cells. Although CSEB had not any effect on the LPS-stimulated HL-60 cells, the protein levels of IL-8, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$ were significantly decreased by CSEB without cytotoxicity. CSEB also blocked Akt and NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. These results indicate that the suppressive effect of CSEB in LPS-stimulated cytokine releases is occurred by inhibition of Akt and NF-${\kappa}B$ activity. Through further studies, CSEB may be used as anti-inflammatory molecule that makes the immune system more efficient.

We have successfully demonstrated the inkjet printing method to create $Al_2O_3$ films withouWe have successfully demonstrated the inkjet printing method to create $Al_2O_3$ films without a high temperature sintering process. In order to remove the coffee ring effect in the ink drop, we have introduced a co-solvent system in order to create Marangoni flow in the ink drop, which leads to the dense packing of ceramic powders on the substrate during inkjet process. The packing density of the Inkjet-printed $Al_2O_3$ films is around 60% (max. 70%) which is very high compared to the value obtained from the same material films by other conventional methods such as film casting, dip coating process, etc. The voids inside the films (which are around 40% of the entire film volume) are filled with the polymer resin (Cyanate ester) by the infiltration process. This resin infiltration is also implemented by the inkjet printing process right after the Ah03 film ink-jetting process. The microstructures of the printed $Al_2O_3$ films are investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to understand the degree of packing density in the printed films. The inkjet-printed $Al_2O_3$ films have been characterized to investigate its thickness and roughness. Quality factor of the printed $Al_2O_3$ film is also measured to be over 300 at 1MHz.

In this study, Cordyceps militaris was grown in a liquid medium containing colloidal chitin. A chitinase was purified from the supernatant or cultured medium by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Sephadex G-50 column chromatography. Optimum temperature and pH of this enzyme were $35^{\circ}C$ and 5.5, respectively. The molecular weight of the chitinase was estimated to be 48.5 kDa by SDS-PAGE and its Km value was 0.57 mM. The activity of this enzyme was inhibited by $Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;CO_{3}^{2-},\;SO_4^{2-},\;CN^-,\;ion,\;and\;OCN^-$ maleic anhydride, acetic anhydride or N-bromo succinimide, especially strongly inhibited by sodium cyanate for 84.0 percentage. But its activity wag slightly stimulated by $Mg^{2+}\;and\;K^+$ ion, respectively. The products formed during hydrolysis of the hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose with this enzyme were N,N'-diacetylchitobiose and N,N',N'-triacetylchitotriose. These results imply that this purified enzyme may be an endo-chitinase.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the penetration pattern of dentin adhesives according to the orientation of dentinal tubules with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Specimens having perpendicular. parallel and oblique surface to dentinal tubules were fabricated. The primer of dentin adhesives (ALL $BOND^{\circledR}{\;}2,{\;}CLEARFIL^{TM}$ SE BOND and PQ1) was mixed with fluorescent material. rhodamine B isothio-cyanate (Aldrich Cherm. CO., Milw., USA), It was applied to the specimens according to the instructions of manufactures. The specimens were covered with composite resin (Estelite, shade A2) and then cut to a thickness of 500$\mu\textrm{m}$ with low speed saw (Isomet^{TM}, Buehler. USA). The adhesive pattern of dentin adhesives were observed by fluorescence image using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. For the groups with tubules perpendicular to bonded surface. funnel shape of resin tag was observed in all specimen. However. resin tags were more prominent in phosphoric acid etching system (ALL $BOND^{\circledR}$ 2 and PQ1) than self etching system ($CLEARFIL^{TM}$ SE BOND). 2. For the groups with tubules parallel to bonded surface. rhodamine-labeled primer penetrated into peritubular dentin parallel to the orientation of dentinal tubules. But rhodamine-labeled primer of PQ1 diffused more radially into surrounding intertubular dentin than other dentin adhesive systems. 3. For the groups with tubules oblique to bonded surface. resin tags appeared irregular and discontinuous. But they penetrated deeper into dentinal tubules than other groups.

젖산균의 유전자 연구를 촉진하기 위해 간단하고 신속한 plasmid DNA의 분리방법과 electro-poration을 이용하여 vector plasmid의 간단하고 신속한 전이방법을 얻기 위해 젖산균의 형질전환에 영향하는 요인에 대하여 연구하였으며 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. O'Sullivan과 Klaenhammer의 방법을 개선하여 젖산균 plasmid DNA의 분리에 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있는 신속하고 쉬운 방법을 고안하였으며, genomic DNA 분리에 이용되는 guanidium thio-cyanate 처리방법을 plasmid의 분리에 적용할 수 있었다. 2. L. casei, L. acidophilus. L. delbruekii var. bulgaricus. L. brevis와 L. plantarum 균주에서 plasmid를 확인하였으며, 돼지 분에서 분리된 L. lactis ssp. lactis. L. fermentum과 L. plantarum에서도 plasmid를 분리 확인하였다. 3. Lactococci의 plasmid분리는 lactobacilli와는 달리 mutanolysin의 처리없이도 잘 되었으며, L. lactis ssp. lactis와 Ent. faecalis에서 plasmid를 확인하였다. 4. E. coli plasimd 분리에 이용되는 MPS membrane filter 방법으로 젖산균 plasmid pLZ12의 분리가 가능하였으나, 세포파편이 filter를 막아 사용에 어려움이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 5. Plasmid 분리없이 electroporation을 이용한 세포 대 세포 전이법으로 간편하고 빠르게 E. coli DH5${\alpha}$에 E. coli Jm109의 plasmid pBX19, pBR322를 전이시켰다. 6. L. lactis ssp. lactis 균주에 lysozyme 처리시 30${\sim}$80%의 생존율을 보였으며, 대부분의 L. acidophilus 균주의 경우 약 70%의 생존율을 보였다. L. casei 102S의 경우는 45분간 처리 시에도 100%의 생존율을 보였다. 8. L. lactis ssp. lactis 균주에 pLZ12를 6.0kV에서 전이시킨 결과 12.5kV에서보다 형질전환 효율이 훨씬 높았으며 lysozyme 처리에 의해 형질전환 효율이 증가되었다. 9. L. acidophilus 균주에 pLZ12를 전이시 6.0kV에서는 전이가 모두 이루어졌으나, 12.5kV에서는 L. acidophilus WIESBY와 NCFM에서 전이가 이루어지지 않았으며, lysozyme 처리 후 pLZ12를 전이시켰을 때 12kV보다 6.0kV에서 형질전환 효율이 증가되었다. 10. Gene Pulser와 Progenitor II를 사용하여 pLZ12를 L. lactis ssp. lactis 균주에 전이하였을 때 Gene Pulser에 비해 Progenitor II의 형질전환 효율이 현저히 떨어졌다. L. acidophilus HY7008과 HY7001은 두 기기 모두 형질전환이 이루어졌으나, L. acidophilus WEISBY와 NCFM은 Progeni-tor II에서 전이가 일어나지 않았으며, Gene Pulser에서 전이균주를 얻어 두 electroporator간에 형질전환 효율의 차이를 보였다. 11. L. casei 102S에 pLZ12를 electroporation시 낮은 전압에서 형질전환 효율이 비교적 좋았으며, 배양 시기를 달리하여 전이시켰을 때 대수생장 말기의 세포가 형질전환 효율이 좋았다. 12. L. casei 102S세포를 각각 10% glycerol, EB, 2차 증류수 등에 녹여 electroporation을 실시하였을 때 각각 $3.8{\times}10^3$, $5.0{\times}10^2$,1.5${\times}10^2$cfu의 형질전환 효율을 보였으며, 1.0mM HEPES, TE buffer를 사용하였을 때에는 전이가 이루어지지 않았다. 13. Plasmid pLZ12의 농도를 달리하여 electroporation을 하였을 때 형질전환 효율이 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 14. L. casei 102S에 대수생장 말기의 세포를 채취하여 10% glycerol, 200 Ohms, 25 ${\mu}$FD, 10kV/cm로 plasmid pLZ12를 electroporation할 때 최대 형질전환 효율인 3.8${\times}$10$^{3}$cfu를 얻었으며, lysozyme 처리가 다른 젖산균과는 달리 형질전환 효율을 증가시키지 못하였다. 15. L. casei 102S 세포를 10% glycerol과 EB에 녹여 -20$^{\circ}C$에서 냉동시킨 다음 1일과 7일 후의 세포를 electroporation한 결과 냉동시 세포에 손상을 주는 것으로 인식되었다.

Femtosecond vibrational spectroscopy was used to measure the vibrational population relaxation time ($T_1$) of different anions bound to ferric myoglobin ($Mb^{III}$) and hemoglobin ($Hb_{III}$) in $D_2O$ at 293 K. The $T_1$ values of the anti-symmetric stretching (${\nu}_1$) mode of NCS in the $NCS^-$ bound to $Mb^{III}$ ($Mb^{III}$NCS) and $Hb_{III}$ ($Hb_{III}$NCS) in $D_2O$ are $7.2{\pm}0.2$ and $6.6{\pm}0.2$ ps, respectively, which are smaller than that of free NCS. in $D_2O$ (18.3 ps). The $T_1$ values of the ${\nu}_1$ mode of NCO in the $NCO^-$ bound to $Mb^{III}$ ($Mb^{III}$NCO) and $Hb_{III}$ ($Hb_{III}$NCO) in $D_2O$ are $2.4{\pm}0.2$ and $2.6{\pm}0.2$ ps, respectively, which are larger than that of free $NCO^-$ in $D_2O$ ($1.9{\pm}0.2$ ps). The smaller $T_1$ values of the ${\nu}_1$ mode of the heme-bound NCS suggest that intramolecular vibrational relaxation (VR) is the dominant relaxation pathway for the excess vibrational energy. On the other hand, the longer $T_1$ values of the ${\nu}_1$ mode of the heme-bound NCO suggest that intermolecular VR is the dominant relaxation pathway for the excess vibrational energy in the ${\nu}_1$ mode of $NCO^-$ in $D_2O$, and that intramolecular VR becomes more important in the vibrational energy dissipation of the ${\nu}_1$ mode of NCO in $Mb^{III}$NCO and $Hb_{III}$NCO.

The present studies were carried out for three years from 2007 until 2009 to control nematode and to increase yield of cucumber by crashed-rape seed application at polyethylene film house. Crashed-rape seed has a lot of glucosinolate. Myrosinase decompose gulcosinolate into isothiocyanate and thiocyanate when crashedrape seed go to decay at soil. Those chemical compounds act on poison to nematode at soil. When the crashedrape seed treated at soil, an amount of thiocyanate at soil was risen up. Thiocyanate of plot treated with 200 and 400 kg crashed-rape seed per 10a was 30 and 40 mg/kg, respectively. Nematode(meloidogyne spp) population at soil was 13 to 17 nematodes per dried soil 300g. Yield of cucumber increased 6 to 15 percent to be compared with control. While, Nematode(meloidogyne spp) population of control plot were 463 nematodes per dried soil 300 g. This level was much higher than 150 nematodes which can be brought about injury to plant. Even if the more an amount of crashed-rape seed application, the higher yield of cucumber and control effect of nematode. Consider economical efficiency, 200 kg of crashed-rape seed per 10a was the most effective. Therefore, we suggest applying 200 kg of crashed-rape seed per 10a to control soil nematode when culture cucumber at plastic film house.
