In this paper, we present a pH measurement method that uses a microcantilever-array-based biosensor system. It is composed of microcantilever array, liquid cell, micro syringe pump, laser diode array, position sensitive detector, data acquisition device, and data processing software. Four microcantilevers are functionalized with pH-sensitive MHA(mercaptohexadecanoic acid) as a probe, while three microcantilevers are functionalized with HDT(hexadecane thiol) as reference. We prepare PBS(phosphate buffered saline) solutions of different pH and inject them into the liquid cell with a predefined volumetric speed at regular time intervals. The functionalized mircocantilevers in the liquid cell deflect as a self-assembled monolayer on the microcantilever binds with probe molecules in the solution. The difference in deflection between the MHA-covered probe microcantilever and the HDT-covered reference microcantilever was used to compensate for thermal drift. The deflection difference clearly increases with increasing pH in the solution. It was shown that when the pH values of the PBS solutions are high, there were large variations in the deflection of microcantilevers, whereas there were small variations for low pH value. The experimental results show that the microcantilever array functionalized with MHA and HDT can detect pH value with good repeatability.

Two feeding trials were conducted to assess the relative bioavailability (RBV) of methionine hydroxy analogue calcium salt (MHA-Ca) in comparison to DL-methionine (DL-Met). Male Ross 308 (1-38 days) and Cobb 500 chickens (1-42 days) were used in studies 1 and 2, respectively. Experimental diets based on wheat and soybean meal or sorghum and soybean meal were fed during three phases. In both experiments graded levels of DL-Met and MHA-Ca were supplemented to Met+Cys deficient basal diets. Additionally, in experiment 1, increasing levels of a DL-Met preparation diluted with corn starch to 65% purity (DL-Met65) were supplemented. Birds were kept in floor pens and feed and water were available ad libitum. Body weights and feed consumption were recorded at the beginning and end of the experimental periods and weight gain and feed efficacy were computed subsequently. At the end of the experiments, a number of birds were slaughtered for carcass evaluation (dressing percentage, breast meat yield). Dose response data were analysed by both ANOVA and nonlinear common plateau asymptotic regression. In both experiments birds responded significantly to increasing levels of either methionine source. However, RBV of MHA-Ca compared to DL-Met was markedly (in many cases significantly) below 84%, the value which would have been expected from MHA-Ca's chemical characteristics. Excluding some extremely low RBV figures of trial 2, RBV of MHA-Ca averaged to about 63% in relation to DL-Met. In addition, supplementation of DL-Met65 allowed confirmation of nonlinear common plateau asymptotic regression to be suitable to determine RBV.

A study consisting of 3 trials was designed to assess the relative biological efficacy of DL-methionine (DL-Met) in comparison to liquid methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA-FA) in growing pigs. In trial I a basal diet was supplemented with three graded levels of DL-methionine (0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 g/kg) or liquid MHA-FA (0.0285, 0.0570 and 0.0855 g/kg) on equimolar basis. The basal diet contained 18.3% CP, 0.22% Met and 0.51% Met+Cys, which is below the methionine requirement for weaned pigs between 10 and 20 kg BW according to NRC (1998) but adequate in all other essential nutrients and energy. Using an exponential model, the efficacy of the two methionine sources was estimated from nitrogen retention data obtained in 42 piglets with an initial BW between 11.0 kg (Exp. 1) and 11.7 kg (Exp. 2). In trials II and III, with a total of 192 and 96 pigs, and with an initial BW of 10.6 and 21 kg, respectively, growth response criteria were assessed to determine if in agreement with previous studies in pigs and poultry a biological effectiveness of about 65% on average could be confirmed for liquid MHA-FA in comparison to DL-met. Based on N-retention (trial I) the biological efficacy of liquid MHA-FA on a weight-to-weight basis was calculated to be 62% relative to DL-met. Basically, these results were confirmed using growth response criteria as measures; the results of trial II and III revealed no significant differences in growth performance and feed conversion between treatments indicating that 100 parts of liquid MHA-FA can be replaced by 65 parts of DL-met.

다양하고 많은 발사체를 효과적으로 운영하기 위해서 우리의 실정에 맞는 차세대 FTS(Flight Termination System)를 선정해서 개발할 필요가 있다. 차세대 FTS 방식으로는 Standard 톤, Secure 톤, MHA(Modified High Alphabet), EFTS(Enhanced FTS) 그리고 DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)가 검토되고 있다. FTS는 사용 목적 때문에 우수한 성능과 높은 신뢰성을 필요로 하며, 소요 수량이 적은 반면에 가격은 고가이다. 때문에 차세대 FTS의 방식을 선정해서 새로운 FTS를 도입하더라도 현재 사용하고 있는 시스템의 주요 구성품의 재사용 가능성 여부도 검토할 필요가 있다. 특히 송신기의 주요 구성품인 전력증폭기는 반드시 재사용 가능성을 검토할 필요가 있다. 신호의 CCDF(Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function)는 신호의 평균전력에 대한 첨두전력의 비를 빈도로 나타낸 것이므로 전력증폭기나 송신기의 성능을 나타낼 때 주로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 전력증폭기의 재사용 가능성을 검토하는 방법으로 송신신호의 CCDF를 시뮬레이션해서 비교하는 방법을 이용하였다. CCDF 시뮬레이션 결과 Standard 톤의 PEP(Peak Envelop Power)는 0.21dB로 계산되었으며, Secure 톤과 MHA은 송신신호가 Standard 톤과 같기 때문에 동일한 PEP를 갖는다. CPFSK 변조를 이용하는 EFTS의 경우에 PEP는 1.81dB 였으며, BPSK 변조를 이용하는 DSSS의 경우에는 2.6dB로 계산되었다.

Transmission of substituent effects through 5-membered heteroaromatic rings is investigated theoretically at the RHF/6-31+G and B3LYP/6-31+G levels using the equilibria for the $OH^- addition to five-membered heteroaromatic aldehydes (5MHA). The transmission efficiency (S) in 5MHA(A) increases in the order NH>O>S>PH but the order exactly reverses in 5MHA($T^-$). This is originated by the delocalizability of the ${\pi}$ lonepair on Y, $$n_\pi$(Y)$. A better correlation is obtained with ${\sigma}_p^-$ in the Hammett plots with positive slope, $p_z$ > 0, indicating that the substituent (Z) effects are not transmitted by a direct conjugation. The magnitude of $p_z$ for Y=NH is the largest among the heteroaromatic systems, which is consistent with the largest transmission efficiency change $({\Delta}S)$. The equilibria for the addition processes are favorable in the gas phase $({\Delta}G^o<0)$, which reverses to unfavorable in aqueous solution $({\Delta}G^o>0)$ due to the relatively large salvation energy of $OH^-$ in the initial state in aqueous solution. The orders of ${\Delta}G^o$ and $p_z$ in the gas phase are almost maintained in solution.

본 연구는 $CaCO_3$를 표준으로 장내 칼슘 흡수를 촉진하는 peptide-Ca, anchovy-Ca, methionine hydroxyl analogue calcium의 생체이용성과 소화율을 평가하였다. 표 준군은 $CaCO_3$를 AIN-93G (1993)를 기준으로 칼슘 요구량의 0%, 30%, 60%로 첨가하여 모든 분석 항목에 대한 비교기준으로 삼았다. 실험군은 요구량의 40% 수준으로 각기 다른 칼슘 공급원으로 실험하였다. 실험결과는 대부분 칼슘 함량이 높은 Ca-60%군이 가장 높은 수치를 보여 주어 칼슘의 섭취량과 비례하여 양의 상관 관계를 보여 주었다. 생체이용성 평가에서는 MHA-Ca 군이 체중 증가량, BMD, BS, BBS 항목에서 높은 이용성을 보여 주었다. peptide-Ca은 회귀계수가 높은 회분함량 ($R^2\;=\;0.98$)과 BMC ($R^2\;=\;0.935$)를 이용한 평가 에서 표준군에 비해 11%, 7% 높은 이용성을 보여주었다. Anchovy-Ca군 역시 여러 생체이용성 평가항목에서 높은 이용성을 나타냈다. 이는 동일한 양의 칼슘을 섭취했을 때 실험군이 표준으로 사용된 $CaCO_3$ 보다 높은 칼슘 이용성을 가지고 있음을 의미한다. 하지만 본 연구로는 유기태 칼슘이 어떤생리 활성 작용을 통해 이러한 결과를 나타냈는지는 알 수 없었으며, 이 부분을 분명하게 규명하는 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 소화율 측정항목에서는 Ca-0%군을 제외하고는 90% 이상 높은 칼슘 소화율을 나타냈다. 소화율과 보유율에서 peptide-Ca군이 유의한 차이는 없었지만 다른 실험군에 비해 미세하게 높았다. 이러한 차이의 축적으로 인해 생체이용성 평가시 실험군간 차이를 보여 주었다. 결국 공급한 칼슘에 대한 소화 및 흡수의 차이에 의해 뼈 건강관련 지표가 좋아지고 이로 인해 실험군의 생체 이용성이 높게 평가 되었다. Peptide-Ca와 순수한 식품 칼슘 급원인 멸치 뼈는 높은 칼슘 이용성을 나타내어, 체내칼슘 영양개선에 상당한 효과가 있슴이 증명되었다.

An immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) with enhanced performance was developed through a mixed self-assembled monolayer. A mixture of 16-mercaptohexadecanic acid (16-MHA) and 1-undecanethiol with various molar ratios was self-assembled on gold (Au) surface and the carboxylic acid groups of 16-MHA were then coordinated to Zn ions by exposing the substrate to an ethanolic solution of $Zn(NO_3)_2\cdot 6H_2O$. The antibody was immobilized on the SPR surface by exposing the functionalized substrate to the desired solution of antibody in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) molecules. The film formation in series was confirmed by SPR and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The functionalized surface was applied to develop an SPR immunosensor for detecting human serum albumin (HSA) and the estimated detection limit (DL) was 4.27 nM. The limit value concentration can be well measured between ill and healthy conditions.

A hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle heterolayer was fabricated for bioelectronic device with electrochemical signal-enhancement effect. As a device element, a hemoglobin, the metalloprotein, contained the heme group that showed the redox property was introduced for charge storage element. For electron transfer facilitation, a silver nanoparticle was introduced for electrochemical signal facilitation, the hemoglobin was immobilized onto Au substrate using chemical linker 6-mercaptohexanoic acid (6-MHA). Then, the silver nanoparticle was immobilized onto fabricated hemoglobin/6-MHA heterolayers by layer-by-layer (LbL) method. The surface morphology and surface roughness of fabricated heterolayer were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The redox property of hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle heterolayer was investigated by a cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiment for obtaining an oxidation potential and reduction potential. Moreover, for the assessing charge storage function, a chronoamperometry (CA) experiment was conducted to hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle-modified heterolayer electrode using oxidation and reduction potentials, respectively. Based on the results, the fabricated hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle heterolayer showed that an increased charge storage effect compared to hemoglobin monolayer-modified electrode.
