The GaAs epitaxial layers were grown on Si(100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using the two-step method. The Si(100) substrates were cleaned with three different surface cleaning methods of vacuum heating, As-beam exposure, and Ga-beam deposition at the substrate temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in the MBE growth chamber. Growth temperature and thickness of the GaAs epitaxial layer were $800^{\circ}C$ and $1{\mu}m$, respectively. The surface structure and properties were investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), AFM (Atomic force microscope), DXRD (Double crystal x-ray diffraction), PL (Photoluminescence), and PR (Photoreflectance). From RHEED, the surface structure of GaAs epitaxial layer grown on Si(100) substrate with Ga-beam deposition is ($2{\times}4$). The GaAs epitaxial layer grown on Si(100) substrate with Ga-beam deposition has a high quality.

We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).

Estradiol (E)은 난소내 과립세포 (granulosa cell, GC)를 증가시키고 생식소 자극호르몬과 협동으로 배란을 유도한다. Androgen은 E의 작용과 반대의 작용을 나타내며 여포의 폐쇄요인으로 알려지고 있다. Testosterone(T)이 폐쇄여포의 여포액내 다량 존재하는 것이 알려짐에 따라 난소내에도 자가조절분비(autocrine)또는 paracrine regulation에 의해 작용을 나타낼 것으로 가정되어 난소내 여포가 폐쇄됨에 따라 그 수용체의 변화하는 양상을 조사하고져 하였다. 흰쥐의 과립세포의 세포질에는 $51.3{\pm}6.1$fmol/mg protein의 Estradiol 수용체(ER) ; $153.1{\pm}25.3$의 Testosterone수용체(TR) ; 또한 $35.1{\pm}8.1$의 Progesterone수용체(PR)가 존재하였다. 과립세포내 ER용 세포질내 E를 제거한 후에 정량이 가능하였고 또한 과립세포내에도 TR이 사람에서는 $23.4{\pm}7.2$ fmol/mg protein, 돼지는 $98.5{\pm}23.1$로 상당량 존재함을 관찰하였다. Dihydrotestosterone Enanthate(DHTE)를 100ug/흰쥐의 농도로 처리한 결과 난소내 TR의 농도는 변화가 없이 ER의 농도만 현저히 저하되고 쥐의 난소무게 역시 감소하는 것을 발견하였다. 위의 결과로 보아 난소내에도 스테로이드 호르몬은 autocrine(자가조절)방법으로 작용하며 An-drogen이 난소의 무게를 감소시키는 것은 ER의 수를 감소시켜 E의 작용이 억제되고 여포들이 폐쇄를 일으켜 그 증식이 저하된 때문으로 사료된다.

This research was performed to purify water quality through removing T-N, and T-P and to estimating rate of $NO_x$ by the response of photocatalyst using ceramics. The ceramics was a mixtures of Titanium Diboride($TiB_2$) which is used to develop armored cars with excellent protective power and lightness, Olivine, and Hwangto with water and was furnaced for an hour at $1160^{\circ}C$. Hwangto and Olivine used in the study are produced at Haenam-gun, Jeonnam, and Andong-city, Gyeongsangbuk-do, respectively. The ground Hwangto and Olivine were seived through PR $100{\times}200$, and $TiB_2$ was a product of SIGMA ALDRICH. The experiment was performed under the sunlight, Mass flow controller was used for constant flow to pass through the pyrex reactor which was fully charged with furnaced ceramics. The concentration of $NO_2$ gas passed through the pyrex reactor was measured by Multi Gas Monitor. The reaction took for 60 minutes, The material was exposed to sunlight for 40 minutes. The sunlight was interrupted before and after the exposure for 10 minutes. The result showed that the concentration of $NO_2$ gas of the ceramics with $TiB_2$ and without $TiB_2$ became reduced and then maintained the same concentration under the sunlight, and became increased when the sunlight is interrupted. The $NO_2$ removing efficiency of the ceramics mixed with $TiB_2$ was 14~43% higher than that of the ceramics without $TiB_2$ under the sunlight. The study showed that the removing rate of $NO_2$ was 80% when the mixture rate of Hwangto, Olivine, and $TiB_2$ was 68%, 30% and 2%.

In this study, we used electron microscopic analysis to characterize the hemocytes in the last larva of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (Colbe) (Cetoniidae, Coleoptera). Granulocytes (GR), plasmatocytes (PL), oenocytoids (OE), spherulocytes (SP), prohemocytes (PR) and adipohemocytes (AD) were classified based on their size and ultrastructural differences in the circulating hemocytes. Many dark granules (<$1{\mu}m$ in diameter) in the GR's cytoplasm were observed and well-developed mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), nucleus, and Golgi complex were also seen. After microorganisms infected, the GRs were morphologically activated and phagocytosed them. Especially, dark granules (lysosomes) were fused themselves and these bigger granules finally agglomerate together with microorganisms. Other hemocytes seem to have no immune functions.

최근 친환경 저전력 차세대 조명소자로 발광다이오드가 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 종래의 수평형 발광다이오드는 사파이어 기판의 열악한 열전도도 및 전기전도도 특성으로 인하여 효율적인 열방출의 저하가 생기게 되고, 양전극과 음전극의 수평배치에 기인한 심각한 전류쏠림현상 등이 수평형 발광다이오드의 고전력 소자로서의 응용에 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다. 근래에 수평형 발광다이오드의 대안 중 하나로 수직형 발광다이오드에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 수직형 발광다이오드에서는, 수평형 발광다이오드에서의 전류쏠림현상을 향상시키기 위해 얀전극과 음전극을 수직으로 배치시킨다. 그리고 열전도도 및 전기전도도 특성이 떨어지는 사파이어를 제거하기 위해 LLO(Laser Lift Off)공정이 사용된다. LLO공정으로 인해 수직형 발광다이오드의 구조는 수평형 발광다이오드와 달리 n-GaN이 위로 배치되는 특성을 가진다. 본 연구에서는, 수직형 발광다이오드의 광추출 효율을 증가시키기 위해 SiO2 나노입자를 이용한 GaN 표면요철 형성기술을 개발, 적용 하였다. SiO2 나노입자를 n-GaN상에 단일층으로 분산시키기 위해 PR(PhotoResist), 나노입자, IPA(Isopropyl Alcohol)이 혼합된 용액을 스핀코팅시켰고 그 결과를 SEM으로 확인할 수 있었다. GaN 식각을 위해 SiO2 나노입자를 마스크로 사용하였고, BCl3가스를 사용한 건식식각을 진행하였다. 그 결과 조밀하고 균일한 크기의 Cylinderical Trapezoid 식각 형상이 n-GaN표면에 형성되었음을 SEM으로 확인할 수 있었다. 우리는 표면요철이 없는 발광다이오드와 SiO2 나노입자를 이용한 표면요철이 형성된 발광다이오드의 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 표면요철이 있을 때 광출력이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 거기에 더하여 표면요철의 높이가 300nm~1000nm로 변화함에 따른 소자의 특성변화 또한 관찰할 수 있었다.

Extended transseptal approach can provide an excellent view of the mitral valve but the safety of this approach is controversial because this incision requires transaction of the sinus node artery, which in most cases and can result postoperative arrhythmia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate perioperative and longterm conduction disturbances and the cardiac rhythms of patients who underwent an extended transseptal approach for mitral valve surgery. Material and Method: Postoperative cardiac rhythms were analyzed in the 164 consecutive patients who received mitral valve replacements with a extended transseptal approach between March 1992 and July 2003. Result: Of the 84 patients in normal sinus rhythm, 34 ($39\%$) had developed transient junctional rhythm and atrial fibrillation after operation, lasting less than 72 hours in most of cases. No intractable arrhythmias occurred. Most of these arrhythmia were not detected at the time of discharge and only 8 patients ($9\%$) had atrial fibrillation at discharge. Postoperative PR intervals increased for 1 week, then decreased within 2 weeks postoperatively, and returned to normal range by 6 months postoperatively. During the postoperative period, 4 of the 78 patients with preoperative atrial fibrillation developed normal sinus thythm. Conclusion: The post-operative arrhythmias were temporary and showed no significant complications after extended transseptal approach for the mitral valve surgery.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Pueraria lobate-root based combination supplementation containing Rehmannia glutinosa and exercise on histone modification in ovariectomized rat hindlimb skeletal muscle. Sixty rats were fed with high fat diet and randomly assigned into the following groups for 8 weeks: 1)HSV; High fat+Sedentary+Vehicle, 2)HSP; High fat+Sedentary+PR, 3)HSH; High fat+Sedentary+Estradiol, 4)HEV; High fat+Ex+Vehicle, 5)HEP; High fat+Ex+PR, 6)HEH; High fat+Ex+Estradiol. Exercise consisted of low intensity treadmill exercise(1-4th wk:15 m/min for 30 min, 5-8th wk: 18 m/min for 40 min, 5 times/week). The result of this study showed that exercise and Pueraria and Rehmannia glutinosa intake suppressed weight gain. Furthermore, exercise and Pueraria and Rehmannia glutinosa intake increased muscle mass. This study observed H3K9 acetylation and demethylation in plantaris muscle in exercised group, but no difference in soleus muscle. To test whether the decrease in HDAC4, HDAC5 and G9a mRNA levels after exercise and Pueraria/Rehmannia glutinosa intake, HDAC4, HDAC5 and G9a mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR. Only exercise induced HDAC5 and G9a mRNA reduction in plantaris muscle, but not in soleus muscle. In conclusion, these data demonstrates that exercise and Pueraria/Rehmannia glutinosa intake effect on body compositions. These changes are regulated by epigenetic modifications, such as histone acetylation and methylation. Future studies should focus on gene-specific epigenetics and other epigenetic mechanism for Pueraria/Rehmannia glutinosa intake.

In order to obtain a highly purified p-dioxanone (PDX) as monomer of biodegradable polymer, suitable solvent must be selected. The selection was based on the solubility of impurities, and partial layer melt crystallization were carried out under the presence of solvent. The solubility of PDX in various solvents such as ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-pentanol) were measured over the temperature range of $-10{\sim}15^{\circ}C$. As solubility parameters, the mixing and dissolution enthalpy between the PDX and the solvents was studied based on empirical equations and the regular solution theory. The solubility and the temperature dependency of the solubility with the solvents of acetone, ethylacetate, and tetrahydrofuran of PDX were shown to have relatively high values compared to the alcohol type solvents. Also, in same alcohols, the smaller molecules and higher polarity gave higher solvency. In partial layer melt crystallization, small amount of ethylacetate selectively dissolved impurities and gave highly purified p-dioxanone, over 99.9% purity.

As the number and weight of imported food are steadily increasing, safety management of imported food to prevent food safety accidents is becoming more important. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety conducts on-site inspections of foreign food facilities before customs clearance as well as import inspection at the customs clearance stage. However, a data-based safety management plan for imported food is needed due to time, cost, and limited resources. In this study, we tried to increase the efficiency of the on-site inspection by preparing a machine learning prediction model that pre-selects the companies that are expected to fail before the on-site inspection. Basic information of 303,272 foreign food facilities and processing businesses collected in the Integrated Food Safety Information Network and 1,689 cases of on-site inspection information data collected from 2019 to April 2022 were collected. After preprocessing the data of foreign food facilities, only the data subject to on-site inspection were extracted using the foreign food facility_code. As a result, it consisted of a total of 1,689 data and 103 variables. For 103 variables, variables that were '0' were removed based on the Theil-U index, and after reducing by applying Multiple Correspondence Analysis, 49 characteristic variables were finally derived. We build eight different models and perform hyperparameter tuning through 5-fold cross validation. Then, the performance of the generated models are evaluated. The research purpose of selecting companies subject to on-site inspection is to maximize the recall, which is the probability of judging nonconforming companies as nonconforming. As a result of applying various algorithms of machine learning, the Random Forest model with the highest Recall_macro, AUROC, Average PR, F1-score, and Balanced Accuracy was evaluated as the best model. Finally, we apply Kernal SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to present the selection reason for nonconforming facilities of individual instances, and discuss applicability to the on-site inspection facility selection system. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that it will contribute to the efficient operation of limited resources such as manpower and budget by establishing an imported food management system through a data-based scientific risk management model.
