This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of Schottky micro hydrogen sensors for high temperatures by using polycrystalline(poly) 3C-SiC thin films grown on Si substrates with thermal oxide layer using APCVD. Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky diodes were made and evaluated by I-V and C-V measurements. Electric current density and barrier height voltage were $2{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^2$ and 0.58 eV, respectively. These devices could operate stably at about 400 $^{\circ}$. The characteristics of implemented sensors have been investigated in terms of sensitivity, linearity of response, response rate, and response time. Therefore, from these results, Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky devices have very high potential for high temperature $H_2$ sensor applications.

안트라센 유도체-합성DNA의 결합형태를 여러 가지 분광학적인 방법들을 통해서 알아보았다. Methylamine과 methylethylenediamine, 즉, 길이가 다른 곁사슬을 가지는 안트라센 유도체들이 poly[d(A-T)2]와 $poly[d(G-C)_2]$의 이중나선에 결합했을 때의 분광학적인 특성은 흡광, 원편광스펙트럼에서 봉우리의 장파장으로 이동, 흡광도의 감소를 볼 수 있으며, 선편광스펙트럼에서는 DNA흡광 영역에서 강한 음의 봉우리가 나타나는 것으로 요약할 수 있다. 이러한 현상들은 안트라센·유도체들이 위의 두 가지 DNA의 염기쌍 사이에 삽입이 되어있다는 것을 증명한다. 곁사슬의 길이에 따른 분광학적인 특성에는 별 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 곁사슬의 길이는 결합형태에 영향을 미치지 앓는다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한, 강한 에너지의 전달이 $pdy[d(A-T)_2]$와 $poly[d(I-C)_2]$에는 일어나지만 $poly[d(G-C)_2]$에는 일어나지 않는 것으로 보아 $poly[d(G-C)_2]$의 작은 흠쪽에 돌출해 있는 아민기가 DNA염기로부터의 에너지의 전달을 방해하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) functionally expressed in salivary epithelial cells, but their roles remain elusive. Among TLRs family, TLR3 is activated by dsRNA, a byproduct of viral infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TLR3 in the inflammatory immune responses using HSG cells. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), real-time PCR and ELISA were performed to identify expression of TLRs and TLR3-mediated chemokine inductions. The chemotaxis assay of activated T lymphocytes was also performed. Treatment of HSG cells with polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) significantly increased interferon-$\gamma$-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), interferoninducible T-cell $\alpha$ chemoattractant (I-TAC), and regulated on activation, normal T-cells expressed and secreted (RANTES) gene expressions in a concentration-dependent manner. Anti-TLR3 antibody blocked the increases of IP-10 and I-TAC genes. Poly(I:C)-induced increases of IP-10 and I-TAC were also confirmed at protein levels from cell lysates, but their release into extracellular medium was detected only in IP-10. We found that the culture media from HSG cells stimulated with poly(I:C) significantly increases T lymphocyte migration. Our results suggest that TLR3 plays an important role in chemokine induction, particularly IP-10, in salivary epithelial cells.

분자량이 200 또는 400인 poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 200, PEG 400)을 알칼리 존재하에서 다양한 linking agent (CH$_2$C1$_2$, CH$_2$Br$_2$, CH$_2$I$_2$, Br(CH$_2$)$_3$Br)와 반응시켜 oxyalkylene-linked poly(oxyethylene) 공중합체를 합성하였다. 얻어진 공중합체의 분자량은 alkali/CH$_2$C1$_2$/PEG의 당량비를 달리하여 조절하였으며 PEG 200을 사용하였을 경우 약 500~8500, 그리고 PEG 400을 사용하였을 경우 약 1000~2000정도이었다. 말단의 -OH기 농도 적정에 의한 분자량과 GPC에 의해 얻어진 분자량은 서로 거의 일치하였다. PEG 400으로부터 얻어진 공중합체는 유리전이온도가 약 -75$^{\circ}C$정도였고, 용융온도가 1$0^{\circ}C$정도였으며 결정화도가 0~25% 정도이었다. 또한 PEG 200을 이용하여 합성된 공중합체의 경우는 분자량이 2500이하에서는 완전한 비정형 물질임을 알 수 있었다.

초임계이산화탄소 분위기 하에서 C. I. Disperse Yellow 54 분산염료의 수착량을 압력, 온도 및 시간에 따라 측정하여 고분자 섬유인 PTT (poly(trimethylene terephthalate))와 PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)) 내에서의 염료의 확산속도를 계산하였다. 고분자 섬유 내에서의 염료의 확산계수(diffusivity)는 $10^{-12}\;cm^2/sec$의 매우 작은 값을 가지며, 일정 압력에서 온도가 증가함에 따라, 그리고 일정 온도에서 압력이 증가함에 따라 그 값이 증가하였다. 또한 PTT 내에서의 확산계수는 PET 내에서의 확산계수의 $1.5{\sim}3$ 배 정도로 더 높았다. 섬유가 매우 가늘므로 섬유 내에서의 농도는 거의 균일하였다.

Investigating gene expression of immune cells of whole blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) under polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) stimulation is valuable for understanding the immune response of organism to RNA viruses. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is a standard method for quantification of gene expression studies. However, the reliability of qRT-PCR data critically depends on proper selection of reference genes. In the study, using two different analysis programs, geNorm and NormFinder, we systematically evaluated the gene expression stability of six candidate reference genes (GAPDH, ACTB, B2M, RPL4, TBP, and PPIA) in samples of whole blood and PBMC with or without poly I:C stimulation. Generally, the six candidate genes performed a similar trend of expression stability in the samples of whole blood and PBMC, but more stably expressed in whole blood than in PBMC. geNorm ranked B2M and PPIA as the best combination for gene expression normalization, while according to NormFinder, TBP was ranked as the most stable reference gene, followed by B2M and PPIA. Comprehensively considering the results from the two programs, we recommended using the geometric mean of the three genes, TBP, PPIA and B2M, to normalize the gene expression of whole blood and PBMC with poly I:C stimulation. Our study is the first detailed survey of the gene expression stability in whole blood and PBMC with or without poly I:C stimulation and should be helpful for investigating the molecular mechanism involved in porcine whole blood and PBMC in response to poly I:C stimulation.

Environmental agents, including viral and bacterial infectious agents, are involved in the alteration of physicochemical and biological parameters in the nasal epithelium. Hyaluronan (HA) has an important role in the regulation of tissue healing properties. High molecular weight HA (HMW-HA) shows greater anti-inflammatory responses than medium molecular weight HA (MMW-HA) and low molecular weight HA (LMW-HA). We investigated the effect of HMW-HA, MMW-HA and LMW-HA on the regulation of physicochemical and biological parameters in an "in vitro" model that might mimic viral infections of the nasal epithelium. Human nasal epithelial cell line RPMI2650 was stimulated with double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) Poly(I:C) for 5 days in air-liquid-interface (ALI) culture (3D model of airway tissue). dsRNA Poly(I:C) treatment significantly decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) in the stratified nasal epithelium of RPMI2650 and increased pH values, rheological parameters (elastic G' and viscous G''), and Muc5AC and Muc5B production in the apical wash of ALI culture of RPMI2650 in comparison to untreated cells. RPMI2650 treated with dsRNA Poly(I:C) in the presence of HMW-HA showed lower pH values, Muc5AC and Muc5B production, and rheological parameters, as well as increased TEER values in ALI culture, compared to cells treated with Poly(I:C) alone or pretreated with LMW-HA and MMW-HA. Our 3D "in vitro" model of epithelium suggests that HMW-HA might be a coadjuvant in the pharmacological treatment of viral infections, allowing for the control of some physicochemical and biological properties affecting the epithelial barrier of the nose during infection.

A study was done on the synthesis of new poly(arylene ether)s and poly(arylenesulfide) with rigid benzoxazole pendants using nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. As a new aromatic monomer, 1,4-bis(2-benzox-azolyl)-2,5-difluorobenzene [I] w as synthesized in three steps starting from 1,4-dibromo-2,5-difluorobenzene. A model reaction of difluoro monomer [I] with two equivalents of m-cresol or thiophenol in a typical ether con-densation reaction conditions gave very high yields ( > 93%) of the desired disubstituted product, suggesting the feasibility of polymer formation in these reaction system. Monomer[I] was polymerized with bisphenols and bisbenzenethiol in NMP using K2CO3 as base. The molecular weight of the resulting polymers, however,seemed relatively low according to their solution viscosity values ( ηinh = 0.15-0.29 dL/g). The poly(arylene ether)s were soluble in several common organic solvents including chloroform, pyridine and N,N'-dimethylfor-mamide. The poly(arylene sulfide) was, however, ony soluble in strong acids like sulfuric acid and trifluoro-acetic acid. The glass transition temperatures were found to be 175-215 $^{\circ}C.$ These polymers were stable up to 380-420 $^{\circ}C$ in both nitrogen and air, as determined by the temperature that a significant weight loss began to appear on TGA.

Previously, crystallization of a-Si:H films on glass substrates were limited to anneal temperature below 600.deg. C, over 10 hours to avoid glass shrinkage. Our study indicates that the crystallization is strongly influenced by anneal temperature and weakly affected by anneal duration time. Because of the high temperature process and nonconducting substrate requirements for poly-Si TFTs, the employed substrates were limited to quartz, sapphire, and oxidized Si wafer. We report on poly-Si TFT's using high temperature anneal on a Si:H/Mo structures. The metal Mo substrate was stable enough to allow 1000.deg. C anneal. A novel TFT fabrication was achieved by using part of the Mo substrate as drain and source ohmic contact electrode. The as-grown a-Si:H TFT was compared to anneal treated poly-Si TFT'S. Defect induced trap states of TFT's were examined using the thermally stimulated current (TSC) method. In some case, the poly-Si grain boundaries were passivated by hydrogen. A-SI:H and poly-Si TFT characteristics were investigated using an inverted staggered type TFT. The poly -Si films were achieved by various anneal techniques; isothermal, RTA, and excimer laser anneal. The TFT on as grown a-Si:H exhibited a low field effect mobility, transconductance, and high gate threshold voltage. Some films were annealed at temperatures from 200 to >$1000^{\circ}C$ The TFT on poly-Si showed an improved $I_on$$I_off$ ratio of $10_6$, reduced gate threshold voltage, and increased field effect mobility by three orders. Inverter operation was examined to verify logic circuit application using the poly Si TFTs.

Single-Si 기판과 poly-Si 기판에 각각 Ti을 sputter한 후 RTA 처리하여 안정한 TiS$i_2$를 형성하였다. 그 위에 Si이 1% 첨가된 Al-1% Si을 600nm sputter한 후 후속 열처리로서 400-60$0^{\circ}C$ 에서 30분간 $N_2$분위기로 furnace어닐링을 실시하였다. 이렇게 준비된 각 시편에 대하여 면저항 측정, Auger분석, SEM 사진으로 Al-1% Si/TiS$i_2$이중층 구조에서 Ti-silicide의 열적 안정성을 살펴 보았고, EDS 분석과 X-ray 회절 peak 분석을 통하여 Al-1% Si 층과 TiS$i_2$층의 반응으로 생긴 석출물의 성분과 상을 조사하였다. 이로 부터 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 Single-Si 기관에서 형성한 TiS$i_2$층은 Al-1% Si 층과 55$0^{\circ}C$에서 완전히 반응하여 석출물을 형성하였고, poly-Si 기판에서 형성한 TiS$i_2$층은 Al-1% Si 층과 50$0^{\circ}C$에서 완전히 반응하여 석출물을 형성하였는데 전반적으로 기판이 poly-Si인 경우가 반응이 더 잘 일어났고, 석출물의 크기도 비교적 컸다. 이는 poly-Si에 존재하는 grain boundary로 인해 poly-Si에서 형성된 Ti-silicide 층이single-Si 기관에서 형성된 Ti-silicide 층보다 불안정하기 때문으로 생각된다. EDS 분석에 의하여 석출물은 Ti, Al, 그리고 Si로 이루어진 3상 화합물이라고 추정되었고, X-ray회절 분석에 의해 석출물은 Ti, Al, 그리고 Si간의 3상 화합물인 T$i_7$A$l_5$S$i_12$로 확인되었다.
