Nonpolar taxoides extracted from a large-scale cell culture of Taxus chinensis were isolated through the normal and reverse phase column chromatographies, and their compounds were identified via NMR spectroscopy. The complete separation method was systematically established and described. In dichloromethane, dissolved paclitaxel and other taxoids with hexane were precipitated during the purification of paclitaxel from the plant cell culture of T. chinensis through a large-scale process while the relatively nonpolar taxane derivatives remained dissolved in the hexane phase. 13-Deoxy baccatin III (I), baccatin VI (II), taxchinin I (III), $2{\alpha}$, $5{\alpha}$, $10{\beta}$, $14{\beta}$-tetraacetoxy-4(20), 11-taxadiene(IV), 1-deoxy baccatinVI(V), and taxayuntin C (VI) were isolated through column chromatography and identified via NMR spectroscopy. Compounds I and IV were found to the major components, aside from paclitaxel, in the plant cell culture of T. chinensis. The concentrations of I and IV were compared with the that concentration of the paclitaxel in each of plant cell culture. The possible applications of compounds I, II, IV, and V were discussed.

Organic semiconductors based on vacuum-deposited films of fused-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon have great potential to be utilized as an active layer for electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, pentacene thin films and electrode materials were deposited by Organic Molecular Beam Deposition (OMBD) and vacuum evaporation respectively. For the gate dielectric layer, photoacryl (OPTMER PC403 from JSR Co.) was spin-coated and cured at $220^{\circ}C$. Electrical characteristics of the device were investigated, where the channel length and width was 50 ${\mu}m$ and 5 mm. It was found that field effect mobility was 0.039 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$, threshold voltage was -8 V, and on/off current ratio was $10^{6}$. Further details will be discussed.

The acai berry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) contains vitamin B complex, vitamin C, anthocyanin and so on. Especially acai berry was seen as nutritionally comparable to blueberry and related berries. The acai berry has significant aging-reducing properties. Compounds have been found to have anti-aging and antioxidant components. Acai berry was extracted with 70% methanol, 70% ethanol and CM (chloroform:methanol=2:1, v/v). After sample and reagents of each experiment was reacted, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power, reducing power were measured to determine the antioxidant capacity, and as results of comparing each extract. Ethanol (70%) extraction was measured highest. Anthocyanin, total phenol, flavonoid also appeared similar to the results. In addition, the antioxidant activities of the extraction solvents were increased significantly with increasing concentrations, but showed lower antioxidant activity than the positive control (ascorbic acid). As a result, antioxidant activities of sample supposed to affect by the anthocyanin, phenol and flavonoid contents.

It is confirmed that the ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) thin films can be etched by low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure. The etching happened deepest at a hydrogen flow rate of 4 sccm, and the etch rate was 120 /min. The etching speed corresponded to the H$\alpha$* emission intensity The etching mechanism of the ITO thin films is as follows; thin films were reduced by H$\alpha$*, and the metal compound residues were detached from the substrate by reacting on the CH* The etching was started after etching time of initial 50 sec and above the threshold temperature of 145$^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of 0.16 eV(3.75 Kcal/mole) was obtained from the Arrehenius plots.

A series of amorphous molecules that possess both photoconductive and electro-optic properties was synthesized in order to investigate photorefractive properties of bifunctional organic-glasses. Diethylaminobenzaldehyde-diphenylhydrazone was covalently attached to 5-(4-diethylamino-benzylidene)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6-trione through a flexible alkyl chain (3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 carbons) containing two ether linkages. The longer linkage not only lowered the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the molecules, but also allowed faster orientation of the chromophore. To examine the photorefractive properties, a 50 ${\mu}$m-thick film was prepared from the mixture of a bifunctional molecule, butyl benzyl phthalate, and $C_{60}$. The photoconductivity of this composite was as high as $8.01\;{\times}\;10^{-12}$ S/cm at 60 V/ ${\mu}$m, and the maximum diffraction efficiency ( ${\eta}_{max}$) of 50 ${\mu}$m-thick film was about 5% at 80 V/ ${\mu}$m.

We have carried out follow-up observations of transiting extrasolar planets using small- to medium-sized reflectors located in Korea. Using the 0.60m telescope stationed at CbNUO (Chungbuk National University Observatory) we have achieved a photometric precision of 1.48 milli-magnitudes (root-mean-square scatter of data) of a HAT-P-09b (transit duration of 3.43 hrs) transit light curve (transit depth ~ 1.3%) with V=12.3 mag for the host star. We expect a photometric precision of 1.0 - 1.2 milli-magnitude for brighter targets (V ~ 10 - 11 mag). The transit technique and its application will be outlined. The results of test observations will be presented and the defocus technique will be discussed.

5 m/o Yb-doped SrCeO3 proton conductor was prepared by a solid state reaction method and its total electriccal conductivity measured as a function of both oxygen partial pressure and water vapor partial pressure in the temperature range of 500~100$0^{\circ}C$. From the total conductivity have been deconvoluted the partial conductivities of oxide ions, protons, and holes, respectively, on the basis of the defect model proposed. The equilibrium constant of hydrogen-dissolution reaction, proton concentration, and mobilities of oxygen vacancies and protons have subsequently been evaluated. It is verified that SrCe1-xYbxO3 is a mixed conductor of holes, protons and oxide ions and the proton conduction prevails as temperature decreases and water vapor pressure increases. The heat of water dissolution takes a representative value of $\Delta$HoH=-(140$\pm$20) kJ/mol-H2O, but tends to be less negative with increasing temperature. Migration enthalpies of proton and oxygen vacancy are extracted as 0.83$\pm$0.10 eV and 0.81$\pm$0.01 eV, respectively.

ZnO films doped with different contents of indium ($0.1{\sim}10$ at.%) were deposited on Si (111) substrate by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated using XRD, AFM, Hall and PL measurement. Results showed that un-doped ZnO film had (002) plane as the c-axis orientated growth, whereas indium doped ZnO films exhibited the peak of (002) and the weak (101) plane. In addition, in the indium doped ZnO films, the electron concentration is ten times higher than that of un-doped ZnO film, while the resistivity is ten times lower than that of un-doped ZnO film. The indium doped ZnO films have UV emission about 380 nm and show a red shift with increasing contents of indium. The I-V curve of the fabricated diode show the typical diode characteristics and have the turn on voltage of about 2 V.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic alteration of diltiazem and its main metabolite, deacetyldiltiazem, after oral administration of diltiazem in rabbits with or with-out cimetidine co-administration. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of diltiazem was significantly elevated in rabbits pretreated with cimetidine, suggesting that the oral clearance, an index of intrinsic clearance, may be decreased by the cimetidine treatment. Consistent with the increased AUC by the treatment, peak plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) for diltiazem was also elevated. Apparent volume of distribution normalized by the bioavailability (($V_{d}$/F) of diltiazem increased sigrificantly in rabbits pretreated with cimetidine increased. Taken together with the fact that the first pass metabolism for diltiazem is the primary determinant for the oral bioavailability, these observations indicate that increases in the oral clearance and (($V_{d}$/F may be a manifestation of the decreased first pass metabolism. Consistent with the hypothesis, the AUC of deacetyldiltiazem was significantly decreased in rabbits with cimetidine treatment. Ratio of deacetyldiltiazem to total diltiazem in the plasma was significantly decreased in rabbits with cimetidine treatment. These observations suggested that the metabolism of diltiazem to deacetyldiltiazem was reduced by cimetidine treatment and that the dosage of diltiazem should be adjusted when the drug is co-administered chronically with cimetidine in a clinical setting.
