Submucosal infiltration and the topical application of epinephrine as a vasoconstrictor produce excellent hemostasis during surgery. The hemodynamic effects of epinephrine have been documented in numerous studies. However, its metabolic effects (especially during surgery) have been seldom recognized clinically. We report two cases of significant metabolic effects (including lactic acidosis and hyperglycemia) as well as hemodynamic effects in healthy patients undergoing orthognathic surgery with general anesthesia. Epinephrine can induce glycolysis and pyruvate generation, which result in lactic acidosis, via ${\beta}2$-adrenergic receptors. Therefore, careful perioperative observation for changes in plasma lactate and glucose levels along with intensive monitoring of vital signs should be carried out when epinephrine is excessively used as a vasoconstrictor during surgery.

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have enormous potential in the biomedical sciences because they can grow continuously and differentiate into any kind of cell in the body. However, for future application in regenerative medicine, it is still a challenge to control the differentiation of PSCs without using genetic materials. To control the differentiation of PSCs, small molecules might be the best substitute for genetic materials considering the following advantages: small size, which enables penetration of plasma membrane; easy-to-modify structure; and low chance of genetic recombination in treated cells. Herein, we introduce small molecules that induce the neuroectodermal differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The small molecules were identified via ESC-based consecutive screenings of small-molecule libraries composed of 324 natural compounds or 93 selected drugs. The natural compounds discovered in the first screening were used to select 93 structurally similar drugs out of 1,200 approved drugs. In the second screening, among the 93 compounds, we found 4 drugs that induced the neuroectodermal differentiation of ESCs. These drugs were progesteroneor corticoid-derivatives. Our results suggest that small molecules targeting the progesterone receptor or glucocorticoid receptor could be used as chemical tools to induce the differentiation of PSCs into a specific germ lineage.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs), since their first discovery, have been considered as new promising materials in various fields of applications including field emission displays, memory devices, electrodes, NEMS constituents, hydrogen storages and reinforcements in composites due to their extra-ordinary properties. The carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites have attracted attention owing to their outstanding mechanical and electrical properties and are expected to overcome the limit of conventional materials. Various application areas are possible for carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites through the functionalization of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites have been fabricated by liquid phase process including surface functionalization and dispersion of CNTs within organic solvent. In case of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites, the mechanical strength and electrical conducting can be improved by more than an order of magnitude. The carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites can be applied to high strength polymers, conductive polymers, optical limiters and EMI materials. In spite of successful development of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites, the researches on carbon nanotube reinforced inorganic matrix nanocomposites show limitations due to a difficulty in homogeneous distribution of carbon nanotubes within inorganic matrix. Therefore, the enhancement of carbon nanotube reinforced inorganic nanocomposites is under investigation to maximize the excellent properties of carbon nanotubes. To overcome the current limitations, novel processes, including intensive milling process, sol-gel process, in-situ process and spark plasma sintering of nanocomposite powders are being investigated. In this presentation, current research status on carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites with various matrices are reviewed.

가스하이드레이트 원리를 이용한 신개념의 해수담수화 장치를 제안하였다. 본 연구의 연속식 장치는 하이드레이트를 제조하고, 듀얼실린더의 압축공정에 의해 해수로부터 순수의 하이드레이트 펠릿화가 가능하다. 해수 샘플로부터 용존된 각 이온들의 제거 효율이 유도결합플라즈마분광광도계(ICP-AES)와 이온크로마토그래피(IC)에 의해 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법과 장치를 이용한 해수담수화시 형성된 하이드레이트 결정과 고농도의 염농축액과의 분리에 어려움이 있지만, 이를 해결함으로 좀더 효율적인 해수담수화 공정 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Bisphenol A is considered as pollutant, because it is toxic and hazardous to living organisms even at very low concentrations. Biological oxidation used for removing this organic from waste water is not suitable and consequently application of catalytic wet oxidation has been considered as one of the best options for treating bisphenol A. We have developed Fe/SBA-15, Ni/SBA-15 and Fe-Ni/SBA-15 as heterogeneous catalysts using the advanced impregnation method for oxidation of bisphenol A in water. The catalysts were characterized with physico-chemical characterization methods such as, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR measurements, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis. This work illustrates activity of the catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic degradation reaction revealed with excellent conversion and recyclability. The degradation products identified were not persistent pollutants. GC-MS analysis identified the products: 2,4-hexadienedioic acid, 2,4-pentadienic acid and isopropanol or acetic acid. The leachability study indicated that the catalysts release very little metals to water. Therefore, the possibility of water contamination through metal leaching was almost negligible.

플라즈마 질화 기술은 기존의 침탄 혹은 고주파 표면 경화 기술 대비 낮은 온도에서 열처리 공정이 진행됨에 따라 열 변형을 최소화 시킬 수 있으며, 후 가공을 간소화 시킬 수 있다는 장점으로 인해 자동차 부품 및 기타 응용 산업 분야에 있어 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 공정 진행에 장시간이 소요되고 복잡한 형상 및 홀 가공에 의한 기능부, 특히 내경부에 대한 균일 질화 처리가 어려워 실제 응용분야 확장에 큰 제약이 따르고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 일반 글로우 방전 대비 플라즈마 밀도가 10배 이상 높은 공공 음극 방전(Hollow Cathode Discharge, 이하 HCD) 현상을 이용하여 고속 고균일 질화공정을 개발하고자 하였으며, 상용화 적용을 위한 연구를 함께 진행하였다. 사용된 시료로는 실제 자동차 부품으로 사용되는 SCM415 소재의 ring gear와 slip yoke pipe를 사용하였으며, HCD 형성을 위해 특화된 플라즈마 질화장비를 활용, 공정 압력 및 인가 전력 등을 변수로 실험을 진행 하였다. 그 결과 질화 처리 속도에 있어 기존 글로우 방전 플라즈마 질화 대비 1/4 이하 수준으로 그 소요 시간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며, 다량 장입된 시료의 내경 기능부에 있어서도 높은 균일도를 갖는 질화표면이 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기능부 표면에 형성된 HCD 현상을 열원으로 사용함으로써 외부가열 장치를 사용하지 않으면서도 기존의 hot wall 방식보다 높은 질화 균일도 구현이 가능하였으며, 소요 자원 및 전력 사용 측면에 있어서도 공정 시간 단축 및 외부 가열 공정 제거에 의한 높은 수준의 에너지 절약이 가능하였다.

In this paper we studied the application of inter-poly dielectric as silicon dioxide-like film was deposited by the higher energy assisting deposition (HEAD) process the modified CCP process, which enables low temperature (LT) process and improving film density. In these experiments the relative hydrogen concentration of $SiO_2$-like films deposited on silicon substrate were analyzed by the secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and it was shown that our lower hydrogenated oxide (LHO) film prepared by HEAD process with the precursor contained the siloxane species had lower hydrogen concentration, $8{\times}10{\cdot}^{22}cm{\cdot}^3$ than that of the commercial undoped silicon glass (USG) film ($1{\times}10{\cdot}^{21}cm{\cdot}^3$) prepared by the high density plasma-chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD). We consider that the LHO film deposited by HEAD process used as high performance material into Flash memory devices.

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, is a two-dimensional material having a unique electro-mechanical property that shows significant change of the electrical conductance under the applied strain. In addition of the extraordinary mechanical strength [1], graphene becomes a prospective candidate for pressure sensor technology [2]. However, very few investigations have been carried out to demonstrate characteristics of graphene sensor as a device form. In this study, we demonstrate a pressure sensor using graphene double layer as an active channel to generate electrical signal as the response of the applied vertical pressure. For formation of the active channel in the pressure sensor, two single graphene layers which are grown on Cu foil (25 um thickness) by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are sequentially transformed to the poly-di-methyl-siloxane (PDMS) substrate. Dry and wet transfer methods are individually employed for formation of the double layer graphene. This sensor geometry results a switching characteristic which shows ~900% conductivity change in response to the application of pulsed pressure of 5 kPa whose on and off duration is 3 sec. Additionally, the functional reliability of the sensor confirms consistent behavior with a 200-cycle test.

An accurate cross sections set are necessary for the quantitatively understanding and modeling of plasma phenomena. By using the electron swarm method. we determine an accurate electron cross sections set for objective atoms or molecule at low electron energy range. In previous paper, we calculated the electron transport coefficients in pure $CF_4$ molecular gas by using two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation. And by using this simulation method. we confirmed erroneous calculated results of transport coefficients for $CF_{4}$ molecule treated in this paper having 'C2v symmetry' as $C_{3}H_{8}$ and $C_{3}F_{8}$ which have large vibrational excitation cross sections which may exceed elastic momentum transfer cross section. Therefore, in this paper, we calculated the electron transport coefficients(W and $ND_L$) in pure $CF_4$ gas by using multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation by Robson and Ness which was developed at lames-Cook university, and discussed an application and/or validity of the calculation method by comparing the calculated results by two-term and multi-term approximation code.

AlN/Al/SiO$_2$/Si thin films for application to FBAR(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) devices were prepared by FTS(Facing Targets sputtering system) apparatus which provides a stable discharge at low gas pressures and can deposit high quality thin films because of the substrate located apart from the plasma. The AlN thin films were deposited on a $SiO_2(1{\mu}m)/Si(100)$ substrate using an Al bottom electrode. The process parameters were fixed such as sputering power of 200W, working pressures of 1mTorr and AlN thin film thickness of 800nm, respectively and crytallographic characteristics of AlN thin films were investigated as a function of $N_2$ gas flow rate$[N_2/(N_2+Ar)]$. Thickness of AlN thin films were measured by $\alpha$-step, the crystallographic characteristics and c-axis preferred orientation were evaluated by XRD.
