In this study, a TiO2 colloidal sol was synthesized by sol-gel process, which was used as a "glue" agent to enhance interconnection of TiO2 particles in low temperature process for plastic dye sensitized solar cell. The crystalline phase of this TiO2 glue is pure anatase with average particles size of 5 nm, which was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and high revolution-TEM. The viscous alcoholic paste without any organic binder was prepared from the mixture of commercial P25 powder and glue. Paste composition and sintering process parameters were optimized for high photovoltaic performance based on low temperature process. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and photocurrent-photovoltage transient spectroscopy were also employed to investigate the mechanism of electron transport in this binder free TiO2 film system.

Fermented ginseng (FG) is an ethanol extract of ginseng radix processed with $\beta$-galactosidase. It was hypothesized that FG may exert anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-diabetic activities through modulating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. In this study, we showed that AMPK phosphorylation was stimulated by FG. These effects were abolished by pretreatment with an AMPK inhibitor, compound C. In addition, FG regulated the expression of genes associated with lipogenesis and lipolysis, thus causing suppression of hepatic triglyceride accumulation. In vivo study using db/db mice, FG reduced fasting plasma glucose, HbAlc, and insulin resistance index, when compared to diabetic control. FG also increased the phospho-AMPK and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expressions in liver and skeletal muscle, respectively. In liver, expressions of lipogenic gene were decreased whereas expressions of lipolytic genes were induced, when compared to diabetic control. Taken together, we may suggest that FG ameliorates hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia through activation of AMPK and could be developed as a health functional food or therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetic patients.

In the present study, effects of sun ginseng (SG) on the collagen synthesis and the proliferation of dermal fibroblast were investigated. Collagen synthesis was measured by assaying procollagen type I C-peptide production. In addition, the level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 was assessed by western blot analysis. SG suppressed the MMP-1 protein level in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, SG dose-dependently increased tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP)-1 production in fibroblasts. SG increased type I collagen production directly and/or indirectly by reducing MMP-1 and stimulating TIMP-1 production in human dermal fibroblasts. SG dose-dependently induced fibroblast proliferation and this, in turn, can trigger more collagen production. These results suggest that SG may be a potential pharmacological agent with anti-aging properties in cultured human skin fibroblast.

Glutaraldehyde have been used as the most effective cross-linking agent for stabilizing collagen fibers and preventing biodegradation. We processed bovine pericardium in a solution containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde,0.05M HEPES buffer and 0.26% magnesium chloride in saline. The glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was implanted in 36 patients at Seoul National University Hospital during a 11-month period between May 1989 and March 1990. 24 were males and 12 females, with ages ranging from 6 months to 168 months [mean age of 43 months]. In 12 patients, the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was used for orthotopic reconstruction of the pericardial sac. In 24 patients. the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was heterotopically implanted.; pulmonary monocusp implant and RVQT [right ventricular outflow tract] patch widening were performed in 10 patients, pulmonary monocusp implant in 6, RVOT patch widening in 4, valved conduit in 2, conduit and pulmonary angioplasty in 1, and ventricular septation in l. With vascular suture techniques, the anastomoses were immediately tight. There was no bleeding from the needle holes and no oozing through bovine pericardium itself. During the follow-up period of up to 10 months, no infections of the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium occurred and no bovine pericardium-related complications were observed in this series.

Cylindrical shape extrudates of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) were prepared using different percentages of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / sodium alginate (SA) mixtures as binders and an aqueous solution containing 6% $H_3BO_3$ and 3% $CaCl_2$ was used as a cross linking agent. As the quantity of alginate increases, the phosphate removal efficiency and capacity were decreased. Among four different extrudate samples, the sample prepared by 8% PVA + 2% SA showed the highest phosphate removal efficiency (59.59%) and capacity (29.97 mg/g) at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 ppm and 2.0 g/L adsorbent dosage. Effects of the adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial phosphate concentration on the sample were further studied. The removal efficiency and capacity obtained by a 4.0 g/L adsorbent dose at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 ppm in 3 h were 79.38% and 19.96 mg/g, respectively. The experimental data of kinetic and isotherm measurements followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. These results suggested that the phosphate removal was processed via a chemisorption and a monolayer coverage of phosphate anions was on the CSH surface. The maximum adsorption capacity ($q_{max}$) was calculated as 23.87 mg/g from Langmuir isotherm model.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been known to be an enveloped virus with a positive strand RNA genome and the major agent of the vast majority of transfusion associated cases of hepatitis. For viral replication, HCV structural proteins are first processed by host cell signal peptidases and NS2/NS3 site of the nonstructural protein is cleaved by a zinc-dependent protease NS2 with N-terminal NS3. The four remaining junctions are cleaved by a separate NS3 protease. The solution conformations of NS4B/5A, NS5A/5B substrates and NS5A/5B inhibitor have been determined by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR data suggested that the both NS5A/5B substrate and inhibitor appeared to have a folded tum-like conformation not only between P1 and P6 position but also C-terminal region, whereas the NS4B/5A substrate exhibited mostly extended conformation. In addition, we have found that the conformation of the NS5A/5B inhibitor slightly differs from that of NS5A/5B substrate peptide, suggesting different binding mode for NS3 protease. These findings will be of importance for designing efficient inhibitor to suppress HCV processing.

그래프에서의 배달문제는 m개의 정점으로 구성된 그래프에서 n개의 서로 다른 속도를 갖는 로봇 에이전트들을 이용하여 배달물을 그래프의 한 노드에서 다른 노드로 배달하는 최소 배달순서를 구하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 그래프에서의 배달문제에 대하여 최적해를 계산하는 O(㎥n)과 O(㎥)시간복잡도를 갖는 두 개의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 알고리즘은 그래프의 모든 쌍에 대한 최단경로를 구하는 전처리를 한 후, 최소배달시간이 작은 정점의 순으로 최단배달경로를 구하는 방법으로 개발하였다. 이 문제에서 그래프가 문제를 해결하고자 하는 지형을 반영하고 있다고 하면, 다양한 로봇 에이전트의 배치에 대하여 전처리를 1회만 실행되면 되므로 O(㎥) 알고리즘은 실제로 O(㎡n)의 시간복잡도를 갖는다고 할 수 있다.

In this study, a farm map utilization strategy for sustainable agricultural environmental resource management was derived. In addition, it is intended to present an efficient method of providing farm map-related services. As a result of the demand survey, the additional information required for the farm map includes 29% of information on crops grown on farmland, 21% of management-related information such as the owner or business entity, 17% of topographical information including slope, 15% of agricultural water information, 17% of land status information, and the addition of functions. 2% was investigated. As a result of intensive interview survey, it was found that it can be used for information on crops cultivated by agricultural businesses, actual cultivated area by township, arable land consolidation division boundary, and management of agricultural promotion zones. The farm map can be used as basic data to efficiently manage agricultural environmental resources. Since the status of support for individual farms or lots, such as soil improvement agent support and organic fertilizer support, may belong to personal information, it can be processed and provided in units required by administration or policies, such as administrative boundaries, subwatersheds, and watersheds. It can serve as a basis for executing the direct payment currently supported only by individual farms, even in a community unit that manages environmental direct payments.

생마늘을 온도별로 숙성시켰을 때 일어나는 물질의 생성과 변화에 대하여 조사한 결과, 고온숙성 마늘(흑마늘)의 열수 추출물에서 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde(HMF)가 생성됨을 확인하였으며, HMF의 생성은 $75^{\circ}C$에서는 7일 이후부터 급격히 증가하기 시작하였으며 35일차에는 13.09 mg/g dry weight까지 계속 증가하는 경향이었다. 그러나 $60^{\circ}C$에서는 HMF의 생성은 거의 억제되었으며, 28일차부터 생성되긴 하였으나 35일차에도 0.35 mg/g dry weight로 그 양은 $75^{\circ}C$ 조건에 비하여 매우 적었다. HMF의 생성은 당 화합물 중 과당(fructose)이 탈수되어 생성된다. 마늘 중 유리당의 생성량을 조사해 본 결과 $75^{\circ}C$에서 숙성된 마늘에서는 7일 차부터 과당이 39.7%/dw 정도 생성되기 시작하여 14일차에 49.6%/dw 정도 생성되었으나, 이후 과당 함량이 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있는데 이는 생성된 과당이 HMF로 변환된 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 $60^{\circ}C$에서는 21일차까지 과당의 생성량이 6.6%/dw 정도였으나 이후 28일 경에는 급속히 증가하여 35일경에는 44.6% 정도 생성되었다. 이로써 마늘에서 HMF의 생성은 마늘 중의 탄수화물이 고온($75^{\circ}C$)에서 과당으로 변환된 후 탈수반응을 거쳐 생성됨을 알 수 있었다.
