Caffeine is a thermogenic agent that can be used in weight loss products. In order to achieve a sustained release of caffeine, silk fibroin (SF) film was uses as carrier. It has been shown that the loading method of caffeine into SF film affected the uniform distribution of caffeine in the SF film. When caffeine was added directly into SF solution, gelation has been occurred immediately and prevented the uniform distribution of caffeine. On the other hand, caffeine was dissolved in methanol in order to load the caffeine in SF film and crystallize the SF film at the same time. However, due to the fast evaporation of methanol, caffeine was recrystallized on the surface of SF film rather than penetrating into the film. Finally, caffeine was loaded into pre-crystallized SF film and uniform distribution of caffeine could be achieved. There was an initial burst of caffeine during the first 15 min, but after that a sustained release was achieved.

Clonidine, an antihypertensive drug, stimulates postsynaptic $\alpha_2$adrenergic receptors in the CNS and lowers arterial pressure by erects on both cardiac output and peripheral resistance. However, many patients experience that sedation and xerostomia occured upon oral administration of clonidine. These side effects are due to high plasma peak concentration and can be avoided when clonidine is given transdermally. In this study, we performed the skin irritation test for transdermal administration of clonidine patch on New Zealand white rabbits. Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were divided into two groups according to the dose levels, respectively. After transdermal administration of clonidine patch with two doses, clinical manifestations, body weight loss and postmortem findings were observed. We could not find any significant evidence of skin irritation by transdermal administration of clonidine patch.

본 연구의 목적은 클로로겐산이 함유된 피부 패치를 피부에 부착하여 체지방과 체중에 미치는 변화를 규명하여, 유용성을 평가하는 것이다. 시험군 8명, 대조군 8명으로 총 16명의 대상자가 연구에 참여하였고, 연구 기간은 2020년 08월 03일부터 2020년 08월 31일까지 4주간 실시하였다. 군-간 효과검정 결과 체지방의 변화는 전체적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으나(F=4.38, p<.055), 1주 후와 4주 후 검사에서는 의미있는 변화(p<.001)가 있었다. 또한, 체중은 유의미한 차이로 시험군이 대조군보다 체중 감소가 큰 것으로 나타났다(F=9.43, p<.008). 이번 연구의 결과는 비만 관련 연구에 패치를 적용한 예비연구로써 의미가 있다고 할 수 있으며, 연구의 결과가 향후 연구될 피부 패치 연구의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The Objective of this work was to design Composite Antenna Structures (CAS) and investigate impact behavior of CAS which was various curvature. This term, CAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constants and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, microstrip antenna layers inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at the resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was. After making five kinds of curved CAS, which radii of curvature are flat, 200, 150, 100, 50 mm. The antenna performance changed in accordance with variation of curvature. The Reflection coefficient was independent of curvature but the gain decreased with the radius of curvature. The impact test equipment was Dyna-8250 drop weight tester. The impact characteristic in accordance with curvature is maximum absorb energy is same each other. The impact energy was 8.5 J. For various Impact energy test, five energy levels 3 J, 5 J, 7 J, 10 J, 20 J were used. The performance of impact damaged antenna was estimated by measuring the return loss and the radiation pattern. It was revealed that the performance of antenna was not related to the impact damage. Because the impactor did not damage the patch directly. CAS have good impact stability for the antenna performance.

본 논문에서는 총 무게 42 kg 이내의 요구사항을 토대로 차세대소형위성 2호 영상 레이다 시스템을 개발한 결과를 보고한다. 차세대소형위성 2호는 소형급 인공위성으로, 탑재체의 무게 비중이 전체 무게 대비 약 40% 정도를 차지하도록 설계하였다. 영상 레이다 시스템은 안테나, RF송수신기, 기저대역 신호처리기, 전력부 등으로 구성되며, 이 중에서 특히 무게 비중이 큰 부품은 영상 레이다의 핵심인 안테나이다. 안테나 설계시 이득, 효율 등을 고려한 다양한 선택이 가능하지만, 차세대소형위성 2호 사업에서 요구하는 무게, 전력 및 해상도 등을 반영하여 Micro-strip Patch Array 안테나를 채택하여 설계하였다. 차세대소형위성 2호의 임무 요구 조건에 부합하도록 안테나의 주파수는 9.65 GHz, 이득은 42.7 dBi 그리고 반사손실은 -15 dB로 규정하여 개발하였으며, 차량에 탑재한 현장시험을 통하여 요구 성능의 충족 여부를 검증하였다.
