Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) hoses, polyethylene hose and silicone hose for tap water were tested with respect to migration of phenolic compounds to water. The highest concentrations (0.36~1.97 mg/L) of total phenolic compounds were observed in the test water from PVC hoses. Increasing residual Cl concentration from 0 to 0.5 mg/L or increasing water temperature from 4 to $25^{\circ}C$ increased 3~3.2 times and 100~104 times for migrated total phenolic compounds concentrations, in respectively. A major migrating phenolic compounds from PVC hoses were bisphenol-a (BPA) and it was observed that the concentration of migrating phenolic compounds in the order: DEHP > 2-chlorophenol > 2,4,6-trichlorophenol > 2,4-dichlorophenol from PVC hoses.

In this paper, we propose a temperature independent the detective voltage source in voltage detector. The value of a detective voltage source is designed to become m times of silicon bandgap voltage at zero absolute temperature. By properly choosing the temperature coefficient of diode, the temperature coefficient of a concave voltage nonlinearities generated by the ${\Delta}V_{BE}$ section of diode between base and emitter of transistors with a different area can be summed with convex nonlinearities the $V_{BE}$ voltage to achieve the near zero temperature coefficient of the detective voltage source. We designed that the value of a detective voltage can be varied by ${\Delta}V_{BE}$, the $V_{BE}$multiplier circuit and resistor. In order to verify the performance of a proposed detective voltage source, we manufactured the voltage detector IC for 1.9V which is fabricated in $6{\mu}m$ Bipolar technology and measured the operating characteristics, the temperature coefficient of a detective voltage. To reduce the deviation of a detective voltage in the IC process step, we introduced a trimming technology, ion implantation and an isotropic etching. In manufactured IC, the detective voltage source could achieve the stable temperature coefficient of 29ppm/$^{\circ}C$ over the temperature range of -30$^{\circ}C$ to 70$^{\circ}C$. The current consumption of a voltage detector constituted by the proposed detective voltage source is $10{\mu}A$ from 1.9V-supply voltage at room temperature.

Since Diffusion tensor from Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging(DT-MRI) is so sensitive to noise, the principle eigenvector(PEV) calculated from Diffusion tensor could be erroneous. Tractography obtained from PEV could be deviated from the real fiber tract. Therefore regularization process is needed to eliminate noise. In this paper, to reduce noise in DT-MRI measurements, the Dyadic Sorting(DS) method as regularization of the eigenvalue and the eigenvector is applied in the tractography. To resort the eigenvalues and the eignevectors, the DS method uses the intervoxel overlap function which can measure the overlap between eigenvalue-eigenvector pairs in the $3\times3$ pixel. In this paper, we applied the DS method to the three-dimensional volume. We discuss the error analysis and numerical study to the synthetic and the experimental data. As a result, we have shown that the DS method is more efficient than the median filtering methods as much as 79.97%~83.64%, 85.62%~87.76% in AAE, AFA respectively for the corticospinal tract of the experimental data.

Recently, the market of skin-care device has been steadily growing up. In this paper, we tried to develop a personal compound stimulus device more competitive than existing products. As the compound stimulus, biochemical stimulus of herbal extraction fluid, thermal stimulus of plate-shaped carbon fiber heater, and optical stimulus of near infrared LED were selected. By some evaluation tests, the thermal stimulation part and the optical stimulation part were found to be developed properly. Additionally, the efficacy of the mixed stimulus of thermal and optical stimulation was tested in C2C12 mouse myoblast. Through RT-PCR analysis, it was found that, by the developed compound stimulus, the expression of collagen I mRNA and collagen III mRNA increased by 4.9 and 1.3 times respectively.

부유대용융법에 의하여 불순이온의 종류와 각 이온의 주입 농도를 달리하는 Rutile 단결정을 성장하였다. 성장된 결정으로부터 제조한 박편시료를 이용하여 결정결함과 광투과도에 미치는 각 불순이온의 영향을 조사하였다. 결정성장용 주원료로 99.99%의 TiO2를 사용하고, 불순이온 주입을 위한 원료로서 99.99%의 Al2O3, H3BO3, Ga2O3, Sc2O3, V2O5, Fe2O3, ZrO2, Er2O3, Cr2O3를 각각 사용하였다. 불순이온의 종류에 따르는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 TiO2 99.8 atomic%-불순이온 0.2atomic%의 조성이 되도록 각 이온별로 원료를 정밀하게 평량하고 균일 혼합하였다. 불순 이온의 첨가량에 따르는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Al2O3는 각각 pure, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 atomic%를, Cr2O3는 pure, 0.003, 0.05, 0.2 atomic%를 각각 치환하여 원료를 조합하였다. 균일 혼합된 원료를 직경 8mm의 고무 튜브에 넣고 CIP(Cold Isostatic Press0에서 2000kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 압력으로 성형한 후 150$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소결함으로서 결정성장용 다결정 원료를 합성하였다. 합성된 다결정을 double ellipsoidal mirror 내에 설치하고,halogen lamp로 가열하여 원료의 한쪽 끝을 용융한 다음, 20rpm의 회전속도, 3-5mm/hr의 성장속도로 하는 유속 1$\ell$/min의 O2 분위기속에서 부유대용융법에 의하여 결정을 성장하였다. 성장된 결정을 성장축에 수직한 방향으로 각각 절단, 연삭, 연마한 박편을 이용하여 편광하에서 low-angle grain boundaries 및 기타의 결정결함을 관찰하였으며, 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$~0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위 및 0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$~3.4$\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위에서의 투과 및 흡수 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 결정 성장 결과 B3+, Er3+, Cr3+ 이온은 Ti4+ 이온과 이온의 크기 차이가 심하여 결정의 정상적인 성장을 방해하는 물성을 나타냈고, V5+, Cr3+ 이온은 흑색의 결정, Fe3+ 이온은 적갈색의 결정으로 성장되었다. Al3+, Zr4+, Al3+의 순서로 투과도가 높아지는 것이 관찰되었다. 불순이온의 농도에 따른 영향으로서 Al3+ 이온의 경우 주입농도가 높아질수록 low angle boundary와 oxygen deficiency가 감소하였고, 투과율은 조금 감소하거나 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 Cr3+ 이온을 주입한 경우 0.003 atomic%에서 최적의 물성을 보였으며, 주입농도가 높아질수록 결정성장이 어려워지고 광의 투과도가 급격히 저하되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and skin whitening effects of Rhamnus yoshinoi extracts. Rhamnus yoshinoi was extracted with 100% ethanol and water. The antioxidative and skin whitening effects of extracts were determined by in vitro assays using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and inhibitory effects against tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in B16F1 melanoma cells. The radical scavenging activities of the Rhamnus yoshinoi extracts were tested by DPPH assay and showed high DPPH radical scavenging activities (SC50; 21.6 ppm in EtOH, 40.5 ppm in water). As for tyrosinase inhibitory activity, the Rhamnus yoshinoi ethanol extract had the highest inhibition activity ($IC_{50}$; 256.3 ppm). In B16F1 mouse melanoma cells, the Rhamnus yoshinoi ethanol extract significantly inhibited melanin synthesis by 53.36% at the concentration of 50 ppm. These results suggest that Rhamnus yoshinoi ethanol extract has significant antioxidant activity and whitening activity.

Therapeutic effect by injection-AP with antibiotics plus conventional treatment was investigated to establish a new treatment method for canine demodicosis. Three patients diagnosed into canine demodicosis were used in the present study. Injection-AP with enrofloxacin (5 mg/kg, twice a week) was made into the acupoints such as Fei Shu(BL13), Wei Zhong (BL40), Da Zhui (GV14), Zu San Li (ST36), He Gu (LI04), Qu Chi (LI11) and Sang Yin jiao(SP06) for 5 weeks. Further, they were additionally received with conventional treatments including injection of ivermectin (0.5 mg/kg, twice a week, SC) and 0.05% amitraz rinse (twice a week) for 5 weeks. The clinical symptoms (pruritus, excoriation, erythema and alopecia) were much improved by injection-AP therapy plus conventional treatment, compared by those of pre-treatment. Case 1 became to normal after 4 weeks, Case 2 became to mild after 5 weeks and Case 3 became to normal after 5 weeks. Total WBC revealed decreasing tendency with treatment in all cases, however, N/L ratios didn't show regular pattern of change with treatment. Notable changes were not histopathogically found in skin lesions of Case 1 and Case 3 except Case 2 with mild change after 5 weeks treatment, compared by those of pre-treatment, respectively. In conclusion, the present patients were cases with canine demodicosis which revealed favorable therapeutic response by injection-AP with antibiotics plus conventional treatment.

This experiment was carried out to confirm characteristics of macro granule (GG) for herbicidal efficacy by using remote-controlled aerial application (RCAA) to control annual and perennial weeds in rice paddy field, and phytotoxicity to rice and non target plants of formulation types. Herbicidal efficacy of GG applied by using RCAA was 93.6~96.6% in flooded direct sowing cultivation. There was no difference in phytotoxicity between the hand and the power applicator methods in terms of height, number of tiller and yield component. Herbicidal efficacy of GG applied by using RCAA was 92.7~97.3% in machine transplanting rice field. There was no difference in phytotoxicity between the hand and RCAA methods in terms of height, number of tiller and yield component. When suspension concentrate (SC) and GG were applied directly on Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, pepper, soybean and wild sesame, several symptoms of injury such as, the inhibition of growth, yellowish, leaf fall and withering was observed.
