The accelerated thermal aging of CSPE (chlorosulfonated polyethylene) was carried out for 33.64 and 67.27 days at 110[$^{\circ}C$], equivalent to 40 and 80 years of aging at 50[$^{\circ}C$], respectively. These samples were referred to as CSPE-0y, CSPE-40y and CSPE-80y, respectively. As the accelerated thermally aged years of the CSPE increase, the insulation resistance[$\Omega$] at 20[Hz], 500[Hz], and 2[KHz], and the percent elongation [%EL] of the CSPE decrease. However, the dissipation factor($tan{\delta}$) at 20[Hz], 500[Hz], and 2[KHz], the apparent density[$g/cm^3$], the glass transition temperature and the melting temperature of the CSPE were increased. The period of time that the voltage has to be applied until electric breakdown of the CSPE-0y is longer than that of the CSPE-40y, and the CSPE-80y, but the dielectric strength of the CSPE-80y is lower than that of the CSPE-0y and the CSPE-40y. The differential temperatures after the AC and DC voltages are applied to CSPE-0y, CSPE-40y and CSPE-80y are 0.026~0.028[$^{\circ}C$], 0.030~0.042[$^{\circ}C$], 0.018~0.045[$^{\circ}C$], respectively. The variations of temperature for the AC voltage are higher than those for the DC voltage when an AC voltage is applied to CSPE-0y, CSPE-40y and CSPE-80y. It is found that the dielectric loss owing to the dissipation factor[$tan{\delta}$] is related to the electric dipole conduction current. It is ascertained that the ionic (electron or hole) leakage current is increased by the separation of the branch chain of CSPE polymer from the main chain of the polyethylene as a result of thermal stress due to accelerated thermal aging as well as by conducting ions such as $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $Mg^{2+}$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $Ca^{2+}$ and $K^+$ after seawater soaking.

Lipids of Liza carinata roe were extracted and separated into detailed lipid classes by column chromatography. About 57-62% of the total lipids consisted of wax esters in which saturated and unsaturated fatty alcohols combined with fatty acids with up to six double bonds. Between the even-numbered wax ester peaks in gas-liquid chromatography, ones with odd chain lengths such as C31, C33 and C35 were eluted in appreciable amounts. Isomers composed of different fatty acids and alcohols at a given chain length were not resolved on 1.5% OV-17 column. The principal component of wax esters in sample A were C32, C34 and C30 (45.0%, 19.2%, and 12.2%), followed by C36 and C38 length (9.5% and 4.7%), while those in sample B were mainly occupied by C34, C32 and C36 length (36.3%, 31.4% and 14.5%) with minor components C30 and C38 length (5.2%, and 3.4%). The wax esters were not a random combination of constituent fatty acids and alcohols. With increase in boiling temperature the wax esters increased slightly in viscosity over the unboiled, showing a tendency toward randomness, and finally were completely randomized at $360^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. The enzymes involved in wax ester biosynthesis seemed to have high selectivity for chain length of fatty acids and alcohols.

$Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (PZT) 강유전체 박막은 높은 잔류 분극 (remanent polarization) 특성 때문에 현재 강유전체 메모리 (FeRAM) 소자에 적용하기 위하여 가장 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그런데 PZT 물질은 피로 (fatigue) 및 임프린트 (imprint) 등의 장시간 신뢰성 (long-term reliability) 특성이 취약한 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 신뢰성 문제를 해결할 수 있는 효과적인 방법 중의 하나는 $IrO_2$, $SrRuO_3$(SRO) 등의 산화물 전극을 사용하는 것이다. 많은 산화물 전극 중에서 SRO는 PZT와 비슷한 pseudo-perovskite 결정구조를 갖고 격자 상수도 비슷하여, PZT 커패시터의 강유전 특성 및 신뢰성을 향상시키는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 PZT 커패시터에 적용하기 위하여 SRO 박막을 증착하고 이의 전기적 특성 및 미세구조를 분석하고자 하였다. 또 실제로 SRO 박막을 상부전극과 PZT 사이의 버퍼 층 (buffer layer)으로 적용한 경우의 커패시터 특성도 평가하였다. 먼저 다결정 SRO 박막을 $SiO_2$/Si 기판 위에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법 (DC magnetron sputtering method)으로 증착하였다. 그 다음 이러한 SRO 박막의 미세구조, 결정성 및 전기적 특성이 증착 조건들의 변화에 따라서 어떤 경향성을 보이는지를 평가하였다. 기판 온도는 $350\;{\sim}\;650^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변화시켰고, 증착 파워는 500 ~ 800 W 범위에서 변화시켰다. 또 Ar+$O_2$ 혼합 가스에서 산소의 혼합 비율을 20 ~ 50% 범위에서 변화시켰다. 이러한 실험 결과 SRO 박막의 전기적 특성 및 미세 구조는 기판의 증착 온도에 따라서 가장 민감하게 변함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 다른 증착 조건과 무관하게 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 증착된 SRO 박막은 모두 주상정 구조 (columnar structure)를 형성하며 (110) 방향성을 강하게 나타내었다. 가장 낮은 전기 저항은 $550^{\circ}C$ 증착 온도에서 얻을 수 있었는데, 그 값은 약 $440\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 이었다. SRO 버퍼 충을 적용하여 제작한 PZT 커패시터의 잔류 분극 (Pr) 값은 약 $30\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ 정도로 매우 높은 값을 나타내었고, 피로 손실 (fatigue loss)도 $1{\times}10^{11}$ 스위칭 사이클 후에 약 11% 정도로 매우 양호한 값을 나타내었다.

Sucrose esters were synthesized by transesterification of sucrose with docosahexaenoic acid ethylester mixture (DHAEE). Potassium carbonate as a base catalyst was used in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for the reactions. The reactions were performed with the different reaction times and molar ratios of substrates in the presence of surfactant in vacuum. Among the reaction conditions in this study, SE#4～7 showed the relatively high conversion rate (>96%) of DHAEE, leading to the high yield of sucrose esters. In addition, the product composition was changed from sucrose mono ester to di/tri/polyesters after the prolonged reaction time while the increased molar ratio of DHAEE also resulted in the composition changes of sucrose mono ester to the sucrose di/tri/polyesters. From the reaction (SE#7), conversion ratio was 98.5% in which 87.3% mono ester and 13.7% di/tri/polyester were found, resulting in the highest content of mono ester. Therefore, the sucrose ester containing various rates of mono and di/tri/polyesters, which effects on hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) values, can be manipulatively synthesized using the reaction conditions reported in this study.

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles were used to describe differences in soil microbial communities influenced by conventional farming system (CFS), conventional farming system without pesticides (CFSWP), and organic farming system (OFS) for strawberry cultivation in controlled horticultural land. In comparison to the CFS soils, the average soil microbial biomasses of in the OFS soils were approximately 1.2 times for total FAMEs ($195nmol\;g^{-1}$), 1.4 times for total bacteria ($58nmol\;g^{-1}$), 1.5 times for Gram-negative bacteria ($27.3nmol\;g^{-1}$), 1.2 times for Gram-positive bacteria ($26.1nmol\;g^{-1}$), and 1.5 times for actinomycetes ($2.8nmol\;g^{-1}$). The microbial communities of total bacteria (p<0.05) and Gram-negative bacteria (p<0.05) in the OFS and CFSWP soils were significantly higher larger than those in the CFS soils. However, fungal structure was significantly greater in CFS than in OFS and CFSWP (p<0.05). In principal component analyses of soil microbial communities, our findings suggest that actinomycetes should be considered as potential factor responsible for the clear microbial community differentiation observed between OFS and CFS in controlled horticultural land.

This study investigated how dietary fat affects muscle atrophy and lipid metabolism in various muscles during hindlimb immobilization in rats. Twenty-four male Sprague?Dawley rats had their left hindlimb immobilized and were divided into four groups by dietary fat content and composition. The contralateral hindlimb (control) was compared with the immobilized limb in all dietary groups. Rats (n = 6/group) were fed a 4% corn oil diet (CO), 2.6% corn oil + 1.4% fish oil diet (FO), 30% corn oil diet (HCO), or a 30% beef tallow diet (HBT)after their hind limbs were immobilized for 10 days. Data were collected for the gastrocnemius, plantaris and soleus muscles. Muscle atrophy was induced significantly after 10 days of hindlimb immobilization, resulting in significantly decreased muscle mass and total muscle protein content. The protein levels of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ${\delta}$ (PPAR${\delta}$) in the plantaris, gastrocnemius, and soleus increased following hindlimb immobilization irrespective of dietary fat intake. Interestingly, the PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA level in the plantaris decreased significantly in all groups and that in the FO group was lower than that in the other groups. The soleus PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA level decreased significantly following hindlimb immobilization in the FO group only. Muscle carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (mCPT1) mRNA level was not affected by hindlimb immobilization. However, the mCPT1 mRNA level in the FO group was significantly lower in the plantaris but higher in the soleus than that in the other groups. The pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) mRNA level in the plantaris decreased significantly, whereas that in the soleus increased significantly following hindlimb immobilization. The plantaris, but not soleus, PDK4 mRNA level was significantly higher in the FO group than that in the CO group. The increased PPAR${\delta}$ protein level following hindlimb immobilization may have suppressed triglyceride accumulation in muscles and different types of dietary fat may have differentially affected muscle atrophy according to muscle type. Our results suggest that ${\omega}$-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may suppress muscle atrophy and lipid accumulation by positively affecting the expression level and activity of PPAR${\delta}$ and PPAR${\delta}$-related enzymes, which are supposed to play an important role in muscle lipid metabolism.

This study was aimed to evaluate the cavernosal relaxation effect of Crataegii fructus(CF) in the contracted rabbit penile corpus cavernosum by agonists.In order to study the effect of CF on the vasoconstriction of rabbit penile corpus cavernosum, isolated rabbit penile corpus cavernosum tissues were used for the experiment using organ baths containing Krebs solution.To investigate the cavernosal relaxation of CF, CF extract at $0.01{\sim}3.0mg/m{\ell}$ was added after penile corpus cavernosum were contracted by norepinephrine(NE) $1{\mu}M$. To analyze the mechanism of CF's vasorelaxation, CF extract infused into contracted penile tissues by NE after each treatment of indomethacin(IM), $N{\omega}$-nitro-L-arginine(L-NNA), methylene blue(MB), tetraethylammonium chloride(TEA).To study the effect of CF on influx of extracellular calcium chloride($Ca^{2+}$) in penile tissues, in $Ca^{2+}$-free krebs solution, $Ca^{2+}$ 1 mM infused into contracted penile tissues by NE after pretreatment of CF. Cytotoxic activity of CF on human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC) was measured by MTT assay, and nitric oxide(NO) prodution was measured by Griess reagent. CF relaxed cavernosal strip with endothelium contracted by NE, but in the strips without endothelium, CF-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited. The pretreatment of L-NNA, MB, TEA decreased significantly on the cavernosal relaxation than not-treatment of them. But the pretreatment of IM had no significant effect on the cavernosal relaxation. In $Ca^{2+}$-free krebs solution, when $Ca^{2+}$ infused into contracted penile tissues by NE, pretreatment of CF inhibit contraction induced by adding $Ca^{2+}$.NO production wasn't increased by treatment of CF on HUVEC. This findings showed that CF is effective for the relaxation of rabbit penile corpus cavernosum, and we suggest that CF relax rabbit corpus cavernosal smooth muscle through multiple action mechanisms that include increasing the release of nitric oxide from corporal sinusoidal endothelium, inhibition of $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization into cytosol from the extracellular fluid, and maybe a hyperpolarizing action.

Ti film of lOnm thickness and Co film of 18nm thickness were sequentially e-heam evaporated onto Si (100) substrates. Metal deposited samples were rapidly thermal-annt.aled(KTA) in thr N1 en vironment a t $900^{\circ}C$ for 20 sec. to induce the reversal of metal bilayer, so that $CoSi_{2}$ thin films could be formed. The sheet resistance measured by the 4-point probe was 3.9 $\Omega /\square$This valur was maintained with increase in annealing time upto 150 seconds, showing high thermal stab~lity. Thc XRII spectra idrn tified the silicide film formed on the Si substrate as a $CoSi_{2}$ epitaxial layer. The SKM microgr;iphs showed smooth surface, and the cross-sectional TKM pictures revealed that the layer formed on the Si substrate were composed of two Co-Ti-Si alloy layers and 70nm thick $CoSi_{2}$ epl-layer. The AES analysis indicated that the native oxide on Si subs~rate was removed by TI ar the beginning of the RTA, and Ihcn that Co diffused to clean surface of Si substrate so that epitaxial $CoSi_{2}$ film could bt, formed. In thc rasp of KTA at $700^{\circ}C$. 20sec. followed by $900^{\circ}C$, 20sec., the thin film showed lower sheet resistance, but rough surface and interface owing to $CoSi_{2}$ crystal growth. The application scheme of this $CoSi_{2}$ epilayer to VLSI devices and the thermodynarnic/kinetic mechan~sms of the $CoSi_{2}$ epi-layer formation through the reversal of Co/Ti bdayer were discussed.

To improve the quality of Gulbi, 10% garlic juice (GJ), 10% onion juice (OJ), and 10% garlic and onion juice mixture (GOJ) were added to the brine solution as a wet-salting method. The changes of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and trimethyl amine (TMA) production, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value, and total microbial numbers in Gulbi were analyzed during storage at room temperature for 12 days. The group treated with 10% GOJ showed the lowest values of 88.2 mg/l00 g in TVB-N, 14.13 mg/l00 g in TMA, and 3.1 $\mu$mol/kg in TBARS. The fatty acid profile of Gulbi was analyzed on 5, 15, and 30 days to investigate the effect of GOJ treatment. The group treated with GOJ showed higher C22:6 (9.91%) and C20:5 (4.25%) contents than control (7.37% and 3.71%, respectively), but had lower C18:1 (24.44%) content. The saturated fatty acid content in Gulbi was 32∼35% and the C16:0 (21∼23%) was predominant in it. Oleic acid was major unsaturated fatty acid in Gulbi. The contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (C18:3, C20:5, C22:6) were decreased after 30 days but increased the saturated fatty acid (C16:0) and monoenes (C16:1 and C18:1). The Gulbi treated with GOJ by brine salting method showed higher DHA and EPA (9.91% and 4.25%, respectively) contents than the control group.

It is observed the characteristic of the microwave air plasma in the wide range of the operating pressure, 1 mTorr ~ 760 Torr. The microwave air plasma was generated by an AC-type microwave source manufactured with a magnetron taken from a commertial microwave oven and the input power was fixed at 370 W. Characteristics of the plasmas were observed by an injection Langmuir probe and an OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy). The breakdown electric field is drastically changed at 500 mTorr. For < 500 mTorr, the ratio of the breakdown electric field and the pressure decreased inversely to the pressure, $5.7\times10^4$V/m-Torr.However, the ratio increased linearly as 43 V/m-Torr for the operating pressure, > 500 mTorr. The minimum breakdown electric field was observed about 12. kV/m at 500 mTorr. It corresponds that the input frequency equals to the collision frequency. The effective collision cross section of the air at this pressure was calculated as $9.23\times10^{-l6}\textrm{cm}^2$.The results of the OES measurement revealed that the main ions were composed of the oxygen, argon, and nitrogen for > 500 mTorr. In contrast, only oxygen and argon ions were dominated for < 500 mTorr. ion temperature of oxygen (O(II)) in the air was decreased from about 1.2 eV to 0.5 eV as the pressure increased. Langmuir probe data shows that the plasma density for < 500 mTorr was higher that for > 500 mTorr.
