According to the requirement of novel antimicrobial agents for the rapidly increasing emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogenic microbes, a number of researchers have found new antibiotics to overcome this resistance. Among them, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are host defense molecules found in a wide variety of invertebrate, plant, and animal species, and are promising to new antimicrobial candidates in pharmatherapeutic fields. Therefore, this review introduces the antimicrobial action of antimicrobial peptide and ongoing development as a pharmetherapeutic agent.

CFD analysis has been performed to investigate flow behavior in LP exhaust hood of steam turbines and evaluate exhaust loss, which is directly related to the steam turbine performance, in it. Development of the optimum shape of LP exhaust hood has been done with an improved shape of steam guide, which plays a key role in terms of cost as well as performance. The newly developed LP exhaust hood will be applied for a large USC steam turbine having a capacity of 1,000 MW.

As energy related problems continue to arise, Korea's thermal insulation market for the zero energy homes is also demanding major changes, but there are no realistic countermeasures. Also, interest in inorganic insulation is growing as damage from multifamily housing fire using flammable insulation materials is increasing. On the other hand, many studies have been conducted on lightweight foam concrete, which implies a sufficient possibility as an insulation material by generating a large amount of air bubbles. However, studies of existion bubble concrete are not quantified by the experimental difficulty of using bubbles when compared. Therefore, in this study, the change in strength due to air pressure using a bubble foam, one of the types of air bubbles for the development of light foam concrete.

The last two decades have shown a marked expansion in publications of diverse effects of Panax ginseng. Ginsenosides, as active ingredients of Panax ginseng, are saponins found in only ginseng. Recently, a line of evidences shows that ginsenosides regulate various types of ion channel activity such as Ca$^{2+}$, K$^+$, Na$^+$, Cl$^-$, or ligand gated ion channels (i.e. 5-HT$_3$, nicotinic acetylcholine, or NMDA receptor) in neuronal, non-neuronal cells, and heterologously expressed cells. Ginsenosides inhibit voltage-dependent Ca$^{2+}$, K$^+$, and Na$^+$ channels, whereas ginsenosides activate Ca$^{2+}$-activated Cl$^-$ and Ca$^{2+}$-activated K$^+$ channels. Ginsenosides also inhibit excitatory ligand-gated ion channels such as 5-HT$_3$. nicotinic acetylcholine, and NMDA receptors. This presentation will introduce recent findings on the ginsenoside-induced differential regulations of ion channel activities as a ligand as other drugs do.

Oyster shells are difficult to grind, while oyster shell powders have coarse and coarse grains, whereas egg shell powder, the same high calcium material, has small and soft particles and has opposing properties. In order to study the change in flexural and compressive strength by designing different mixing ratios using 50% of oyster shell powder and egg shell powder as a filling material. As a result of the experiment, there is almost no difference in the result.

The frictional characteristics of natural rubber plates under various conditions including sliding speed, contacted ball size, and lubrication conditions were evaluated experimentally. The frictional force and the normal force were measured by a self-made tester pin and a load cell with strain gages. In the lubrication condition, the effect of sliding speed was not significant over tested speed range. But in the none-lubrication condition, according to increase the sliding speed, the friction coefficient was decreased. The coefficients of friction under various lubrication conditions were varied from 0.03 to 0.32 and under none-lubrication condition was varied from 2.54 to 4.74.

Various solid structures were prepared by electrospray technique. In this process, liquid flows out from a capillary nozzle under a high electrical potential and is subjected to an electric field, which causes elongation of the meniscus to form a jet. In our study, by controlling the amount of polyvinyl pyrrolydone in precursor solution, the jet either disrupted into droplets for the formation of spherical particles or was stretched in the electric field for the formation of fibers. During the electrospray process, the ethanol solvent was evaporated and induced the solidification of precursors, forming solid particles. The evaporation of ethanol solvent also enhanced the mass transport of solutes from the inner core to the solid shell, which facilitated fabrication of porous and hollow structure. The network structures were also prepared by heating the collector.

There are many reasons why foreigners have difficulties learning English. In addition to the difference between English and the learner's grammar, the large number of irregularities found in English become another obstacle to learning English. Understanding the difference and the irregularities will help us not only have a good command of English but also teach English more effectively. Many irregular or alternating patterns, or even anomalies in Modern English are the results of historical changes. In this paper, I would like to focus on some of the irregular or alternating patterns found in different components of the grammar of English and to show how they can be accounted for historically. Through this study, I would like to show that the irregular patterns and anomalies in English were once regular and systematic, they have deviated from the regular patterns of the grammar as time has gone by, and they have survived in Modern English as irregular and alternating patterns. Many of the irregular or alternating patterns can be traced back by phonological, morphological and/or semantic changes in the history of English. Finally, by looking at language history, we can hold a more tolerant view on many anomalies present in English.

In this study, highly miniaturized short-wavelength transmission line employing periodically perforated ground metal (PPGM) structures were developed for application to miniaturized on-chip passive component on Si RFIC. The transmission line employing PPGM structure showed shorter wavelength and lower characteristic impedance than conventional coplanar-type transmission line. The wavelength of the transmission line employing PPGM structure was 57% of the conventional coplanar-type transmission line on Si Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) substrate. Basic characteristics of the transmission line employing PPGM structure were also investigated in order to evaluate its suitability for application to a development of miniaturized passive on-chip components. According to the results, it was found that the PPGM structure is a promising candidate for application to a development of miniaturized on-chip passive components on Si RFIC.
