A mass balance/photochemical modeling approach was used to evaluate the sea-to-air dimethyl sulfide (DMS) fluxes in tropical regions and part of the Southern Ocean. The flux determinations were based on 10 airborne observations by ACE 1 transit flights (i.e., Flights 4-9 and 29-32). The DMS flux values for the tropical regions ranged from 1.0 to 7.4 $\mu$mole/$m^2$/day with an average estimate of 4.2$\pm$2.3 $\mu$mole/$m^2$/day. The seasonal variations in the DMS flux predicted for the equatorial Pacific Ocean based on atmospheric DMS measurements were not entirely consistent with those derived from seawater DMS measurements were not entirely consistent with those derived from seawater DMS measurements reported in previous literature. Inhomogeneities in the DMS flux field were found to cause significant shifts in the atmospheric DMS levels even in the same sampling location. Accordingly, no definitive statement can be made at this stage regarding systematic differences or agreements in the DMS flux estimates from the two approaches. Moreover, this study strongly suggests that DMS oxidation is the most likely dominant source of SO$_2$in tropical regions, which is also supported by another set of compiled observations. Finally, these SO$_2$observations indicate that, when significant data was available for both the boundary and buffer layers, the vertical SO$_2$gradient between these two zones was primarily negative.

Helicobacter pylori is the causative agent of chronic gastritis and has a role in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer diseases, and gastric cancer. There have been reports suggesting a close link between these gastroduodenal disorders and a state of vitamin C deficiency. In this paper, the past, present and future perspectives on H. pylori infection and vitamin C will be discussed under the following view points. Since the ecological niche of H. pylori is the mucus layer and intercellular junctions of the gastric epithelium, the various kinds of host inflammatory cells motivated by the local and systemic immune responses cannot eliminate the microorganisms. When the invading foreign body is not removed, despite full activation of defense mechanisms, adverse consequences of the immune responses develop on the host gastric mucosa. The reasons for the body vitamin C depletion could be explained as follows; 1) the increased vitamin C consumption by increased oxygen free radical production through the prolonged hypersensitivity reactions in the gastric mucosa, 2) the increased vitamin C oxidation by the nitrite which is formed from nitrate reduction by the intragastric bacteria proliferated in the hypochlorhydric gastric cavity, 3) the strong ${\gamma}$-glutamyltranspeptidase activity of H. pylori which depletes the glutathiones in gastric mucosa. Depletion of glutathiones in the stomach favors irreversible oxidative destruction of ascorbic acid. Both persistent inflammatory burdens in the stomach by H. pylori and resultant vitamin C depletions synergistically and uninhibitedly might aggravate the hypothetical sequence of gastric carcinogenesis: atrophic gastritis${\rightarrow}$intestinal metaplasia${\rightarrow}$dysplasia${\rightarrow}$gastric adenocarcinoma. High intake of vitamin C could reverse the hypothetical sequence of the gastric carcinogenesis via direct and indirect effects on H. pylori and host-parasite relationships.

This study investigated the effect of the powder produced by ball-milling the outer layer of annatto (Bixa orellana L.) seeds on the physicochemical properties as well as the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of pork patties over 14 d of refrigerated storage (4±1℃). Five pork patty treatments were produced containing three different concentrations of annatto seeds, 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5% (ANT0.1, ANT0.25, ANT0.5), 0.1% ascorbic acid (AA0.1), and a control (CTL). Based on the results, annatto seed powder appeared to show antioxidant activity. The Hunter color values of pork patties were affected by the addition of annatto seed powder, which increased the redness and yellowness values, but decreased the lightness of the patties (p<0.05). To evaluate the antioxidative effects of annatto on pork patties, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and peroxide values (POV) were analyzed over 14 d of refrigerated storage. Treatments containing annatto seed showed lower TBARS and POV than control (CTL) samples (p<0.05). The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) of the pork patties containing annatto seeds were lower than that of CTL at the end of storage (p<0.05). Although no differences in total bacterial counts were observed between control and treated patties, those containing annatto seeds had lower microbial counts for Enterobacteriacease than CTL or AA 0.1%. Therefore, annatto seed powder might be a good source of natural antioxidants for the production of meat products.

비닐렌기에 플루오르 치환기를 도입한 새로운 전자발광 (EL) 고분자인 poly(m-silylphenyl-p-phenylene-difluorovinylene) (m-SiP-PPDFV)는 GILCH polymerization 방법에 의해 합성된다. 이들 고분자는 단층 구조 (ITO/PEDOT/polymer/Ca:Al)의 light-emitting diodes (LEDs)에서 EL 발광층으로 사용되었다. m-SiP-PPDFV는 $\lambda_{max}$ = 452 nm 주위에서 PL 발광파장을 나타내었고, $\lambda_{max}$ = 497 nm 주위에서 녹색의 EL 발광을 나타내었다. 고분자의 current-voltage-luminance (I-V-L) 특성에서는 4.0 V 정도에서부터 소자가 작동되기 시작하였다. 고분자의 전자 친화도를 증가시키는 m-SiP-PPDFV을 얻기 위해 m-SiP-PPV의 모든 비닐렌기에 두개의 플루오르기를 도입하였고, 이로 인하여 소자 구동에서 비닐렌기의 색 안정도를 나타냈었다. PPV 유도체들에서 일어나는 비닐렌기의 산화반응을 보호하는 플루오르기는 전자 끄는 효과를 가지고 있어 소자의 색 안정도를 유지시킨다. 이번 연구로, 보다 안정화된 PPV 유도체를 얻기 위해, 플루오르기가 비닐렌기에 도입될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

$Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) thin films were synthesized on transparent conducting oxide glass substrates via a simple, non-toxic, and low-cost process using a precursor solution paste. A three-step heating process (oxidation, sulfurization, and selenization) was employed to synthesize a CZTSe thin film as an absorber layer for use in thin-film solar cells. In particular, we focused on the effects of sulfurization conditions on CZTSe film formation. We found that sulfurization at $400^{\circ}C$ involves the formation of secondary phases such as $CuSe_2$ and $Cu_2SnSe_3$, but they gradually disappeared when the temperature was increased. The formed CZTSe thin films showed homogenous and good crystallinity with grain sizes of approximately 600 nm. A solar cell device was tentatively fabricated and showed a power conversion efficiency of 2.2% on an active area of 0.44 $cm^2$ with an open circuit voltage of 365 mV, a short current density of 20.6 $mA/cm^2$, and a fill factor of 28.7%.

RC delay is a critical issue for achieving high performance of ULSI devices. In order to minimize the RC delay time, we uses the CMP process to introduce high-conductivity Cu and low-k materials on the damascene. The low-k materials are generally soft and fragile, resulting in structure collapse during the conventional high-pressure CMP process. One troubleshooting method is electrochemical mechanical polishing (ECMP) which has the advantages of high removal rate, and low polishing pressure, resulting in a well-polished surface because of high removal rate, low polishing pressure, and well-polished surface, due to the electrochemical acceleration of the copper dissolution. This study analyzes an electrochemical state (active, passive, transpassive state) on a potentiodynamic curve using a three-electrode cell consisting of a working electrode (WE), counter electrode (CE), and reference electrode (RE) in a potentiostat to verify an electrochemical removal mechanism. This study also tries to find optimum conditions for ECMP through experimentation. Furthermore, during the low-pressure ECMP process, we investigate the effect of current density on surface roughness and removal rate through anodic oxidation, dissolution, and reaction with a chelating agent. In addition, according to the Faraday’s law, as the current density increases, the amount of oxidized and dissolved copper increases. Finally, we confirm that the surface roughness improves with polishing time, and the current decreases in this process.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in hardness and microstructure of a dental multipurpose alloy after simulated complete firing with controlled cooling rate and holding time by characterizing the changes in hardness and microstructure after simulated firing with various cooling rates and holding times. Methods: Before hardness testing, the specimens were solution treated and then were rapidly quenched into ice brine. The specimens were completely fired in furnace. Hardness measurements were made using a Vickers microhardness tester. The specimens were examined at 15 kV using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Results: The maximum hardness value was obtained at stage 0 after simulated firing with various cooling rates (quick cooling, stage 0, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3). By the repetitive firing, the hardness of the tested alloy decreased gradually. By holding the specimen at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10-20min after simulated firing, the hardness increased apparently. However, to hold the alloy for long periods of time in the relatively high temperature after simulated firing resulted in the formation of thick oxidation layer. The oxide film formed on the surface of the alloy after simulated complete firing with controlled cooling rate, which was mainly composed of O and Zn. Conclusion: It is reasonable to hold the alloy at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10-20min after complete firing in other to improve the final hardness of the alloy.

본 연구는 Streptomyces sp. BH-405의 배양액으로부터 유기용매로 추출하여 지질과 산화에 대한 항산화 효과를 실험하였다. Streptomyces sp. BH-405의 배양액을 ethylether로 추출한 후 silica gel column(100$\times$10 cm) chromatography로 분획한 획분을 POV로 측정한 결과 fraction 3에서 향산화 활성이 가장 높았다. 항산화 활성이 높은 fraction 3 획분을 다시 preparative TLC와 column chromatography로 더욱 정제하여 band 2를 얻었다. Band 2의 항산화 효과를 알아보기 위해 기존의 항산화제와 비교한 결과 이-$\alpha$-tocopherol, BHA보다 산화억제 효과가 높았으며 DPPH에 의한 수소 공여능은 실험결과가 우수하였다. 한편 band 2는 쥐 간의 microsome에 있어서 유리기의 소거기능이 있었고 NADPH 및 Fenton 시액에 위한 효소적 과산화 지질의 생성을 억제하였다. 그리고 mitochondria와 리놀산의 과산화 유도계에서도 지질의 과산화 과정에 생성하는 유리기의 형성을 차단하였다. 결론적으로 Streptomyces sp. BH-405의 배양액에서 얻은 획분인 band 2는 산화를 억제하는 활성이 있었다.

대기압에서의 층류 에틸렌 확산 화염 내 매연 생성에 대하여 부력의 영향에 대한 보다 나은 이해를 위해 0g와 1g 조건하에서 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석을 위하여 가스상 메커니즘과 열 및 이송특성을 이용하였다. 매연의 생성과 성장 및 산화에 대하여 예측하기 위하여 간단한 매연 모델이 채택되었으며 이 모델은 가스상과 매연의 화학적 상호작용에 고려되었다. 수치 결과로서 보다 두꺼운 확산층과 축방향 속도의 감소로 인해 0g에서의 화염이 1g하의 화염보다 더 넓은 화염을 가진다는 알 수 있었다. 0g에서의 축방향 속도의 감소는 더 긴 체류 시간을 가지게 하고 그 결과로 더 많은 매연 체적분율을 나타나게 한다. 0g 하에서는 화염이 부력으로 인한 불안정성이 없어져 화염의 흔들거림이 사라졌다.
