The ac plasma display panel(PDP) is a flat light-emitting gas discharge device. Discharge gases directly take effects to the discharge phenomena of ac PDP. Therefore it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the discharge gases. In this paper, we have studied the effects of discharge gases by voltage transfer curves which show the discharge characteristics of ac PDP and the change of the effective wall capacitance during a discharge which depends on lateral spreading of charge distribution and the strength of discharge. As gas pressure increases, memory margins increases. and the firing voltage of a mixed gas is lower than that of a single gas such as He gas. The minimum sustain voltage and the maximum sustain voltage or firing voltage increases with decrease in the frequency. The effective wall capacitance increases as the discharge strength that is, the gap voltage between discharge electrodes increases.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism underlying liver metabolic perturbations in dairy cows exposed to heat stress (HS). Methods: Liquid chromatography massabl spectrometry was used to analyze metabolic differences in livers of 20 dairy cows, with and without exposure to HS. Results: The results revealed 33 potential metabolite candidate biomarkers for the detection of HS in dairy cows. Fifteen of these metabolites (glucose, lactate, pyruvate, acetoacetate, ${\beta}$-hydroxybutyrate, fumaric acid, citric acid, choline, glycine, proline, isoleucine, leucine, urea, creatinine, and orotic acid) were previously found to be potential biomarkers of HS in plasma or milk, discriminating dairy cows with and without HS. Conclusion: All the potential diagnostic biomarkers were involved in glycolysis, amino acid, ketone, tricarboxylic acid, or nucleotide metabolism, indicating that HS mainly affected energy and nucleotide metabolism in lactating dairy cows.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains 10-nm tilament ring which lies just under the inner surface of the plasma membrane within the mother-bud neck. Although H)-nm filaments may he involved in cellular morphogenesis. their role and organization are not clear. Here we report the production of antihodies specific for the CDel2 protein hy use of gene fusion techniques. and studies on the organization and function of IO-nm filaments using these antibodies. The CDCl2 protein arc translated through the whtlle cell cycle and present in the cytosol. 'They are polymerized just before bud emergence and unpolymerized alier cytokinesis. and do not have organizational relationship with actin. Thc possible role of 10-nm filaments is the determination of bud emergence site and completion of cytokinesis.

We propose a lens-drive unit composed of an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) for an auto-focus compact camera module in cellular phones to solve the power consumption problem of voice coil motors which are widely used in commercial products. In this research, an IPMC incorporated into a lens-drive unit is designed to implement a large displacement in low-power consumption by using an anisotropic plasma treatment. Experimental results show that a camera module containing IPMCs can control and maintain the position of the lens by using proportional integral derivative control with a photo-reflective position sensor despite the non-linear actuation behavior of IPMCs. We demonstrate that the fabrication and commercialization of a lens actuator that has a large displacement and low power consumption using IPMCs is possible in the near future.

Mixing between two or more reagents is one of important processes in biochemical microfluidics. In efficient micromixer design, it is essential to analyze flow pattern and evaluate mixing efficiency with good precision. In this work, mixing efficiency for Y-channel micromixer is measured by fluorescence intensity using LIF(Laser Induced Fluorescence) Confocal Microscope. The Y-channel micromixers are fabricated with polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and those are bonded to glass plate through Plasma bonding. Nile Blue A is injected into the micromixer as a fluorescence dye for measuring of fluorescence intensity by He/Ne laser. For visualization of the flow pattern, dynamic image capturing is carried out using CAM scope. For the comparison with computer simulation, modified SIMPLE algorithm for incompressible flow equation is solved for the same geometry as in the experiment. Throughout the experiments and computer simulation, accurate mixing efficiency evaluation process for a PDMS Y-channel micromixer is established.

A SiOxCy(-H) thin film was synthesized by atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge(APDBD), and a SiO₂-like layer was formed on the surface of the film by oxidation treatment using oxygen plasma. Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane was used as a precursor for the SiOxCy(-H) synthesis, and He gas was used for stabilizing APDBD. Oxygen permeability was evaluated by forming an oxidized SiOxCy(-H) thin film on a PET film. When the single-layer oxidized SiOxCy(-H) film was coated on the PET, the oxygen gas permeability decreased by 46% compared with bare PET. In case of three-layer oxidized SiOxCy(-H) film, the oxygen gas permeability decreased by 73%. The oxygen permeability was affected by the thickness of the SiO₂-like layer formed by oxidation treatment rather than the thickness of the SiOxCy(-H) film. The excellent corrosion resistance was demonstrated by coating an oxidized SiOxCy(-H) thin film on the silver-coated aluminum PCB for light emitting diode (LED).

수소화된 비정질 탄소(a-C:H)는 그 증착 조건에 따라서 여러 가지 다른 구조와 특성을 갖게 되며, 특히 DLC(diamond-like carbon) 및 CNT(Carbon nanotube)는 FED (field emission display) 개발 면에서 중요하게 연구되고 있다. 우리는 a-C:H 박막을 PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 방법으로 증착하고 CH4 가스를 사용하였고 기판 온도는 상온-32$0^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 변화되었다. 기판은 Corning 1737 glass, quartz, Si, Ni 등을 사용하였다. 증착 압력과 R.F. power는 각각 0.1-1 Torr 와 12-60w 사이에서 변화되었다. ESR 측정은 X-band(주파수 약 9 GHz)에서 그리고 상온에서 행해졌다. 상온에서의 스핀밀도는 약한-표준피치(weak-pitch standard) 스펙트럼과 비교하여 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 a-C:H 박막의 구조는 He-Ne laser(파장 632.8 nm)를 이용하는 micro-Raman spectroscopy로 분석하였다. 증착조건에 따른 스핀밀도의 변화 및 Raman 스펙트럼에서의 D-peak, G-peak의 위치 및 반치록, I(D)/I(G) 등을 조사하였다. 증착된 a-C:H 박막은 R.F.power가 증가할수록 대체로 스핀밀도가 증가하였으며, Raman 스펙트럼에서의 I(D)/I(G) 비율은 대체로 감소하였다. 증착된 박막들은 polymer-like Carbon으로 추정되었으며, 스핀밀도가 증가할수록 대체적으로 흑연 구조 영역이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 glass나 Si 기판에 비해 Ni 기판위에서 polymer-like Carbon 구조는 향상되는 경향을 보였다.

면방전 구조의 AC-PDP는 페닝 혼합 기체 중에서 Xe 플라스마에서 발생되는 VUV (Vacuum Ultra Violet) 에 의해 들뜬 형광체로부터 가시광이 발생된다. Xe 여기종은 828 nm의 공명준위를 거쳐 147 nm의 진공자외선을 방출하며 823 nm의 준안정준위에서 분자선을 거쳐 173 nm의 진공 자외선을 낸다. 이러한 Xe 여기종의 밀도를 측정하기 위해서는 828 nm와 823 nm의 레이저를 외부에서 인위적으로 조사하여 측정하면 IR (Infrared)의 흡수전과 흡수후의 빛의 세기로 Xe 여기종의 밀도 및 분포를 계산할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 823 nm에 초점을 두었으며 LAS (Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) 기법을 통하여 He-Ne-Xe(15%, 20 %, 30%) 400Torr의 3종 기체의 Xe 함량에 따른 시공간의 Xe($1s_5$) 여기종 밀도 분포와 방전효율을 관측하였다. 최근 3전극 면방전형 AC-PDP 효율 향상을 위해 3종 기체의 Xe함량비의 방전기체에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이러한 기초 데이터는 혼합기체 조건에 따른 면방전 구조의 3전극 AC-PDP의 발광 효율을 개선하는 데 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

다이아몬드 박막을 이용한 반도체소자를 실현시키기 위해서는 다이아몬드가 아닌 다른 재료의 기판위에 대면적에 걸쳐 다이아몬드막을 에피텍셜 성장시키는 것이 필수적이다. 그러나 이 분야의 연구는 아직 초보상태로 그 목표가 실현되지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저압의 ECR 마이크로파 플라즈마 CVD에 의하여 대면적의 Si(100)기판상에 방향성을 갖는 다이아몬드막을 성공적으로 성장시킨 결과를 보고자한다. 지금까지 얻어진 최적 핵생성 공정조건은 다음과 같다 : 반응압력 10Pa, 기판온도 80$0^{\circ}C$(마이크로파 전력이 3kW일 때), 원료가스 CH4/He 계로 농도비 3%/97%, 가스총유량 100sccm, 바이어스 전압 + 30V, 마이크로파 전력(microwave power)4kW, 바이어스 처리 시간 10분간이며, 성장단계에서의 증착공정 조건은 기판온도 80$0^{\circ}C$, 원료가스 CH4/CO2/H2계로 농도비 5%/15%/85%, 가스 총유량 1000sccm, 바이어스 전압 +30V, 마이크로파 전력 5kW, 성막시간 2시간으로 일정하게 유지하였다. 이 조건하에서 기판 면적 3x4$\textrm{cm}^2$의 대면적에 대해서 약 2x109cm-2의핵생성 밀도를 균일하게 재현성있게 얻었다. 원료가스로 CH4/H2를 사용한 경우보다 CH4/H2를 사용할 경우에 라디칼밀도의 증가에 의하여 더 높은 핵생성밀도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 저압의 ECR플라즈마 CVD의 경우에는 양의 바이어스전압이 막의 손상이 없어 다이아몬드 핵생성에 더 적합하였다.

A recent randomized and double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study bas indicated that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) decrease blood glucose in patients with type II diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the GLP extract in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Oral administration of GLP at 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg for 4 weeks resulted in a reduction of blood glucose levels by 12.5, 18.7 and 33.7% respectively, while glibenclamide treatment brought the hyperglycemic value down to normal. The hyperglycemic effect was supported by a significant decrease in glycosylated haemoglobin and increased plasma insulin levels (p<0.01) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This study showed that GLP has similar hypoglycemic effects as glibenclamide in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
