  • Deformation behavior of compatible polymer blends was studied using scanning electron, optical, and transmission electron microscopies. Four different compatible systems were employed and charaterized in this investigation : polystyrene(PS) and polyphenylene oxide(PPO), polystyrene(PS) and polyvinlmethylether(PVME), polystyrene(PS) and poly $\alpha$-methylstyrene(P$\alpha$MS). Individual craze and shear deformation zone microstructures were examined by transmission microscopy (TEM). For TEM observations, specimens deformed in-situ on a TEM grid were utilized. Quantiative analysis of these crazes and shear deformation zones was obtained from the nicrodensitometry of the TEM negatives in the manner developed by Lauterwasser and Kramer. Microdensitometry resulys showed that the fibril extension ratio decreased as the PPO content increased in the PS/PPO blends, and finally, for 100% PPO, only shear deformation zones were observed. For the PS/PVME blends, the ribril extension ratio also decreased as the VME content increased. For the PS/P$\alpha$MS blends, the fibril extension ratio increased as the P$\alpha$MS content increased, For the PPO/P$\alpha$MS blends, the fibril extension ratio increased as the P$\alpha$MS content increased.

  • Ultrashort pulse laser drilling of polycarbonate track-etched membrane (pTEM) material was used to fabricate a mouse embryo cell trapping device. Holes with a diameter of $2{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$ were fabricated on a $10{\mu}m$ thick membrane using a femtosecond laser with a 150 fs pulse width and 775 nm wavelength and multiple-pulse irradiation. In cell trapping tests, the overall cell occupancy of the machined holes in the fabricated pTEM was found to be more than 80%. The results of a single pulse and multiple pulse irradiation were compared in terms of the surface quality. It was generally found that a single pulse with high energy was less desirable than irradiation with multiple pulses of lower energy.

  • During mitosis, genomic integrity is maintained by the proper coordination of anaphase entry and mitotic exit via mitotic checkpoints. In budding yeast, mitotic exit is controlled by a regulatory cascade called the mitotic exit network (MEN). The MEN is regulated by a small GTPase, Tem1p, which in turn is controlled by a two-component GAP, Bfa1p-Bub2p. Recent results suggested that phosphorylation of Bfa1p by the polorelated kinase Cdc5p is also required for triggering mitotic exit, since it decreases the GAP activity of Bfa1p-Bub2p. However, the dispensability of GEF Lte1p for mitotic exit has raised questions about regulation of the MEN by the GTPase activity of Tem1p. We isolated a Bfa1p mutant, $Bfa1p^{E438K}$, whose overexpression only partially induced anaphase arrest. The molecular and biochemical functions of $Bfa1p^{E438K}$ are similar to those of wild type Bfa1p, except for decreased GAP activity. Interestingly, in $BFA1^{E438K}$ cells, the MEN could be regulated with nearly wild type kinetics at physiological temperature, as well as in response to various checkpoint-activating signals, but the cells were more sensitive to spindle damage than wild type. These results suggest that the GAP activity of Bfa1p-Bub2p is responsible for the mitotic arrest caused by spindle damage and Bfa1p overproduction. In addition, the viability of cdc5-2 ${\Delta}bfa1 $ cells was not reduced by $BFA1^{E438K}$, suggesting that Cdc5p also regulates Bfa1p to activate mitotic exit by other mechanism(s), besides phosphorylation.

  • DC magnetron 스파터링 방법으로 $(Co_{93}Cr_{7})-P-Ni$ 계 수평 자기 기록용 박막을 제조하였다. $(Co_{93}Cr_{7})-P-Ni$ 의사 삼원계(pseudo-ternary) 박막의 Ni 및 P의 함량 변황 따른 자기적 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 박막의 조성을 조절함으로써 최대 1500 Oe의 보자력을 얻을 수 있었다. P 첨가에 따른 보자력 향상의 원인으로는 면내 이방성(in-plane anisotropy) 향상, 입자 크기의 변화, P 성분의 입계편석에 따른 입자간의 decoupling 등을 들 수 있다. 또한 TEM으로 미세 구조를 관찰한 결과 P 가 첨가되면 입자의 크기가 작아지면서 입자간의 자기적 decoupling이 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

  • To determine the prevalence and genotypes of $\beta$-lactamases among clones of a metagenomic library from the cold-seep sediments of Edison seamount (10,000 years old), we performed pulse-field gel electrophoresis, antibiotic susceptibility testing, pI determination, and DNA sequencing analysis. Among the 8,823 clones of the library, thirty clones produced $\beta$-lactamases and had high levels of genetic diversity. Consistent with minimum inhibitory concentration patterns, we found that five ($167\%$) of thirty clones produced an extended-spectrum $\beta$-lactamase. 837- and 259-bp fragments specific to bla$_{TEM}$ genes were amplified, as determined by banding patterns of PCR amplification with designed primers. TEM­1 was the most prevalent $\beta$-lactamase and conferred resistance to ampicillin, piperacillin, and cephalothin. TEM-116 had a spectrum that was extended to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and aztreonam. The resistance levels conferred by the pre-antibiotic era alleles of TEM-type $\beta$-lactamases were essentially the same as the resistance levels conferred by the TEM-type alleles which had been isolated from clinically resistant strains of bacteria of the antibiotic era. Our first report on TEM-type $\beta$-lactamases of the pre-antibiotic era indicates that TEM-type $\beta$-lactamases paint a picture in which most of the diversity of the enzymes may not be the result of recent evolution, but that of ancient evolution.

  • We prepared polycatenar 1H-imidazole amphiphiles having a structure in which a 1H-imidazole head was connected through a benzene ring to a pheny group having two or three oligo(ethylene glycol) chains and studied their supramolecular assembly by fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). When the aqueous solutions of the amphiphiles ($5{\times}10^{-5}M{\sim}10^{-3}M$) were deposited onto a carbon-coated copper grid and dried, twisted structures with diameters of ~200-300 nm were imaged by TEM and AFM. We presume that the structures comprised a chain of the amphiphile dimers formed via successive hydrogen bonding between the 1H of the imidazole group and 3N of the neighboring one. In a solution of pH 4, entangled fibers with diameters of several nanometers were observed by TEM. In a pH 10 solution, film-like aggregates formed exclusively. The 1H-imidazole amphiphiles hydrolyzed tetraethoxysilane to induce gelation to form fibrous and spherical silica structures at neutral pH in aqueous solutions. No silica was formed when imidazole was used instead of the amphiphiles, suggesting that the selfassembled aggregates of the amphiphiles were responsible for the gelation.

  • Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an InAlGaAs matrix were grown on an InP (001) using a solid-source molecular beam epitaxy and investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. TEM images indicated that the QD formation was strongly dependent on the growth behaviors of group III elements during the deposition of InAlGaAs barriers. We achieved a lasing operation of around 1.5 ${\mu}m$ at room temperature from uncoated QD lasers based on the InAlGaAs-InAlAs material system on the InP (001). The lasing wavelengths of the ridge-waveguide QD lasers were also dependent upon the cavity lengths due mainly to the gain required for the lasing operation.
