Activity-guided fractionation of the n-hexane and ${CHCl_3}-soluble$ fractions of Sindora sumatrana using a bioassay based on the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells led to the isolation of the known compound, $(+)-7{\beta}-acetoxy-15,16-epoxy-3$, 13(16), 14-clero-datriene-18-oic acid (2) as an active constituent. In addition, a new trans-clerodane diterpenoid, (+)-2-oxokolavenic acid (1), together with six known compounds, (+)-3, 13-clerodadiene-16,15-olide-18-oic acid (3), $(+)-7{\beta}-acetoxy-3$,13-clerodadiene-16,15-olide-18-oic acid (4), $(+)-7{\beta}-acetoxy-16-hydroxy-3$,13-clerodadiene-16, 15-olide-18-oic acid (5), ${\beta}-caryophyllene$ oxide (6), $clovane-2{\beta},9{\beta}-diol (7),{\;}and{\;}caryolane-1,9{\beta}-diol$ (8) were isolated and found to be inactive. The structure of compound 1 was determined using physical and spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D-NMR experiments. The known compounds 2-8 were identified by the spectroscopic data and by comparison with the published values. Of eight isolates (1-8), only compound 2 exhibited an iNOS inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$/ value of $51.6{\;}\mu\textrm{m}M$.

NIR spectroscopic analysis was used for the measurement of deproteinization and deacetylation to apply the merits of NIR spectroscopic analysis to the quality management in the process of chitin and chitosan production. In measuring squid pen and red snow crab shell, which are raw materials of chitin and chitosan by NIR there were typical peaks in 1200 nm, 1510 nm, 2050 nm and 2180 nm. Squid pen had somewhat higher peak than red snow crab shell. In producing chitin, amount of protein was decreased. Measuring it by NIR, reduction of protein caused by deproteinization was identified in producing chitin. Chitosan is a derivative material made from chitin by processing the deacetylation. During this processing, acetyl groups were removed and amide bends were appeared. From NIR spectra, peaks at 1530 nm and 2030 nm indicated amide II peak of chitosan, and these peaks were used for identifying the differences of structure between chitin and chitosan. The error in measurement of nonidentified sample was below $1\%$ and the error in the standard curve was below 0.006. These errors were very low and the accuracy of NIR was considered to be superior to the existing methods.

Stilbene 유도체인 trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene에 대한 분광학적 연구를 행하였다. 보통의 자외선 흡수스펙트럼에서는 $n{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수밴드는 에너지가 비슷한 ${\pi}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수밴드에 가려져서 나타나지 않는데 2차 미분 스펙트럼과 저온(77˚K)에서의 스펙트럼으로 부터 $n{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수 밴드를 확인할 수가 있었다. 또한 ${\pi}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수밴드들의 전이에너지를 PPP-SCF-CI MO 방법으로 계산한 결과 스펙트럼에서 얻은 값과 잘 일치했다. 형광스펙트럼, 형광편광스펙트럼, 그리고 PPP-SCF-CI MO 방법에 의한 계산으로부터 형광을 내는 상태는 $^1({\pi},\;{\pi}^*)$ 상태임을 알 수가 있었으며 이것은 형광에 대한 alkaline salt effect의 결과와 일치한다.

Citrate ion is a commonly used reductant in metal colloid synthesis, undergoes strong surface interaction with silver nanocrystallites. The slow crystal growth observed as a result of the interaction between the silver surface and the citrate ion makes this reduction process unique compared to other chemical and radiolytic synthetic methods. The antimicrobial effects of silver (Ag) ion or salts are well known, but the effects of citrate coated Ag nanoparticles (CAgNPs) are scant. Herein, we have isolated biofilm causative bacteria and fungi from drinking water PVC pipe lines. Stable CAgNPs were prepared and the formation of CAgNPs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis and recorded the localized surface plasmon resonance of CAgNPs at 430 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis revealed C=O and O-H bending vibrations due to organic capping of silver responsible for the reduction and stabilization of the CAgNPs. X-ray diffraction micrograph indicated the face centered cubic structure of the formed CAgNPs, and morphological studies including size (average size 50 nm) were carried out using transmission electron microscopy. The hydrodynamic diameter (60.7 nm) and zeta potential (-27.6 mV) were measured using the dynamic light scattering technique. The antimicrobial activity of CAgNPs was evaluated (in vitro) against the isolated fungi, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria using disc diffusion method and results revealed that CAgNPs with 170ppm concentration are having significant antimicrobial effects against an array of microbes tested.

Purpose: This study evaluated the feasibility of using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method as a preprocessing tool for visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (VIS/NIRS) with a spectroscopic transmittance dataset for predicting the internal quality of cherry tomatoes. Methods: VIS/NIRS was used to acquire transmittance spectrum data, to which a DWT was applied to generate new variables in the wavelet domain, which replaced the original spectral signal for subsequent partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis and prediction modeling. The DWT concept and its importance are described with emphasis on the properties that make the DWT a suitable transform for analyzing spectroscopic data. Results: The $R^2$ values and root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of calibration and prediction models for the firmness, sugar content, and titratable acidity of cherry tomatoes obtained by applying the DWT to a PLS regression with a set of spectra showed more enhanced results than those of each model obtained from raw data and mean normalization preprocessing through PLS regression. Conclusions: The developed DWT-incorporated PLS models using the db5 wavelet base and selected approximation coefficients indicate their feasibility as good preprocessing tools by improving the prediction of firmness and titratable acidity for cherry tomatoes with respect to $R^2$ values and RMSEs.

We present an analysis of the chemical abundances and kinematics of six low-mass dwarf stars, previously claimed to be candidate hypervelocity stars (HVSs). We obtained moderate-resolution (R ~ 6000) spectra of these stars to estimate the abundances of several chemical elements (Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, and Ni), and derived their space velocities and orbital parameters using proper motions from the Gaia Data Release 2. All six stars are shown to be bound to the Milky Way, and in fact are not even considered high-velocity stars with respect to the Galactic rest frame. Nevertheless, we attempt to characterize their parent Galactic stellar components by simultaneously comparing their element abundance patterns and orbital parameters with those expected from various Galactic stellar components. We find that two of our program stars are typical disk stars. For four stars, even though their kinematic probabilistic membership assignment suggests membership in the Galactic disk, based on their distinct orbital properties and chemical characteristics, we cannot rule out exotic origins as follows. Two stars may be runaway stars from the Galactic disk. One star has possibly been accreted from a disrupted dwarf galaxy or dynamically heated from a birthplace in the Galactic bulge. The last object may be either a runaway disk star or has been dynamically heated. Spectroscopic follow-up observations with higher resolution for these curious objects will provide a better understanding of their origin.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate alloys spectrophotometrically including yttrium of nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloys, which are used as substitutes for the regulation of beryllium and provide helpful improvements in Ni-Cr alloys. Methods: Four groups of specimens (ZN, ZY, SN and EM) were prepared for analysis. Color parameters were measured with a spectrophotometer, and color difference (∆E^*) was calculated. The t-test and one-way analysis of variance test were used to determine significant difference, and the Tukey test was used to identify where the differences were. To measure the spectroscopic reflectivity, the spectroscopic reflectance was measured and converted into CIE L^*, a^*, b^* color system. Results: The ∆E^* value of each metal ceramic group after opaque firing of Ni-Cr alloy with and without yttrium was <2, and the total group color difference (∆E^*) was below 1 in the dentin ceramic all experimental group. However, the a^* and b^* values of the metal ceramic groups were higher than that in the lithium disilicate all ceramic group, and the chroma was higher than the natural tooth. The brightness of all experimental groups was similar to that of the shade guide sample. Conclusion: Yttrium added to Ni-Cr alloys showed similar CIE L^*, a^*, b^* values to Ni-Cr alloys that did not contain yttrium, indicating that yttrium had no effect on color in metallic ceramic systems.

목적: 폐암의 생체 수소자기공명분광법의 실행가능성을 탐색하고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 이 전향적 연구는 해당병원의 임상시험심사위원회로 승인을 받았고 모든 환자로부터 사전동의를 받았다. 병리적으로 폐암으로 확인된 (평균 직경, 56.8 mm; 범위, 44-77 mm) 10명의 환자들에서 (남자 7명, 여자 3명; 평균나이, 64.4세) 단일 복셀 수소자기공명분광기법으로 호흡 유발 PRESS (point-resolved spectroscopic sequence)를 사용하여 1.5 T 수소자기공명 분광법을 시행하였다. 스펙트럼 습득의 기술적 성공률을 평가하고 실패한 증례들의 이유를 고찰하였다. 결과: 10개의 폐암 중 8개 폐암에서 분석 가능한 수소자기공명 분광 스펙트럼을 획득했다 (기술적 성공률, 80%). 두 개의 수소자기공명 분광 데이터는 심각한 기준치 왜곡으로 분석할 수 없었다. 대표적인 대사물질로 choline과 lipid들이 관찰되었다. 결론: 비록 제한적 수의 환자에서의 결과이지만 폐암에서 얻어진 생체 수소 자기공명 분광 스펙트럼이 분석가능하고 높은 성공률로 획득하였기 때문에 폐암 환자에서 호흡 유발 PRESS 방법을 사용한 생체 수소자기공명분광법이 실행가능하다고 판단된다.

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.
