  • The purpose of the present study was to develop a standard protocol for imidapril hydrochloride bioequivalence testing. For this reason, a specific LC-MS method was developed and validated for the determination of imidapril in human plasma. A solid-phase extraction cartridge, $Sep-pak^{R}$ C18, was used to extract imidapril and ramipril (an internal standard) from deproteinized plasma. The compounds were separated using a XTerra $MS^{R}$?C18 column ($3.5 {\mu}m, 2.1\times150 mm$) and $acetonitrile-0.1\%$ formic acid (67:33, v/v) adjusted to pH 2.4 by 2 mmol/L ammonium formic acid, as mobile phase at 0.3 mL/min. Imidapril was detected as m/z 406 at a retention time of ca. 2.3 min, and ramipril as m/z 417 at ca. 3.6 min. The described method showed acceptable specificity, linearity from 0.5 to 100 ng/mL, precision (expressed as a relative standard deviation of less than $15\%$), accuracy, and stability. The plasma concentration-versus-time curves of eight healthy male volunteers administered a single dose of imidapril (10 mg), gave an $AUC_{12hr}$ of imidapril of $121.48\pm35.81 ng mL^{-1} h$, and $C_{max} and T_{max}$ values of $32.59\pm9.76 ng/mL and 1.75\pm0.27 h$. The developed method should be useful for the determination of imidapril in plasma with sufficient sensitivity and specificity in bioequivalence study.

  • 유체를 포함하는 혼합 매질에서의 탄성파 고유 감쇠에 대한 다양한 메커니즘 중, 탄성파 전파 시 고체와 유체 사이에서의 상대적 운동은 가장 중요한 감쇠 메커니즘 중의 하나이다. 선행 연구에서는 얼음의 미세 공극 안에 존재하는 소금물이 초음파의 전파에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 얼음과 소금물이 공존하는 매질에서 초음파 전파 실험하였다. 부분적으로 동결된 소금물에서 각기 다른 온도에서의 초음파 감쇠의 물리적인 메커니즘을 350 ~ 600 kHz의 주파수 대역에서 규명하기 위하여, Biot 이론에 입각한 다공성의 탄생 모델을 도입하여 초음파의 전파를 측정하였다. 고체상은 얼음으로, 액체상은 소금물로 가정한 뒤 펄스 핵자기공명기술로 측정한 유체의 성질을 이용하여 각각의 온도에서의 공극률을 계산한 결과, 실험으로 측정한 감쇠값은 500 kHz에서 계산된 고유 감쇠값과 다르게 나타났으며 이는 squirt -flow 메커니즘과 파의 산란 효과와 같은 다른 감쇠 메커니즘도 고려해야 한다는 것을 의미한다.

  • To enforce the maximum residue limit for residual hexane (0.005 g/kg) in commercially available Korean vegetable oil, convenient and accurate quantification methods were investigated. Using dual surrogate standards, pentane and heptane were dissolved in ethanol, and then added to hexane-tree sunflower oil for setting up the calibration curve. Gas Chromatograph-Flame Ionization Detector with a porous layer open tubular column, indicated good chromatographic separation of hexane from other inhibiting matrix components. The lowest calibration level was $0.5\;{\mu}g/g$, not exceeding a relative standard deviation of 10% (RSD%), and 1.0\;{\mu}g/g$ not exceeding a deviation of 22% RSD% using heptane as an internal standard for the Static headspace analysis by using a headspace auto-sampler and manual injection, respectively. The residual hexane was detected in nine of the samples among 87 vegetable oil samples purchased on the local market.

  • Lidocaine and galactose loading tests were performed on a bioartificial liver (BAL), an extracorporeal medical device incorporating living hepatocytes in a cartridge without a transport barrier across the membranes. The concentration changes were analyzed using pharmacokinetic equations to evaluate the efficacy and limitation of the proposed method. Lidocaine and galactose were found to be suitable drugs for a quantitative evaluation of the BAL functions, as they did not interact with the plasma proteins or blood vessels, making their concentrations easy to determine. The drug concentration changes after drug loading were easily analyzed using pharmacokinetic equations, and the BAL functions quantitatively expressed by pharmacokinetic parameters, such as the clearance (CL) and galactose elimination capacity (GEC). In addition, these two drugs have already been used in clinical tests to evaluate human liver functions over long periods, and lidocaine CL values and GEC values reported for a normal human liver. Thus, a comparison of the CL and GEC values for the BAL and a natural liver revealed what proportion of normal liver functions could be replaced by the BAL.

  • Vietnam is conducting an export-led growth model and labour-intensive industries contributing majorly to the total export value. In the context of Industry 4.0, the labour-based industries are significantly affected; hence, enhancing productivity is the key measure to maintain these industries. The garment industry contributes significantly to the total export value of Vietnam. Based on meta-frontier framework, the approach of data envelopment analysis is used to measure technical efficiency of Vietnamese garment firms and the global Malmquist TFP index is utilised to identify productivity change and its components including efficiency, technology and technical gaps between different groups of firms. The data of Vietnamese garment firms from 2013 to 2018 collected from the Vietnam General Statistic Office is used in this study. The results show that: (i) The total factor productivity of Vietnamese garment firms growth, technical progress is the main contributor; (ii) The private garment sector is the leading group; (iii) There is a large technological gap among Vietnamese garment sectors. The private and FDI garment firms have experienced a growth in all components of total factor productivity change. Meanwhile, technological progress change is the main reason to constrain the productivity growth of state-owned garment firms.

  • The paper tests the above socio-cognitive model with four empirical case studies of leading Korean science and technology research and technology transfer organizations. The case studies demonstrate clear differences in individuals' frames about the technology transfer process and arising conflicts. As a result, technology transfer process is not fully controllable and is highly contextual. We argue, whereas public policy in countries approaching technology frontier provides essential support for defining and exploiting best practices (routines/pathways) for technology transfer at organizational level, they have not matured enough to support the timely identification and resolution of conflicts between individual actors, hence the inefficiencies. Therefore, among others, public policy for technology transfer could consider allowing an inclusive approach to recognition of best practices for technology transfer and innovation processes, increased social interactions between technology transfer actors, and their training on resolution of individual level cognitive conflicts.

  • 본 연구에서는 석유계 잔사유를 원료로 피치 합성반응 중 압력변수에 의한 영향을 고찰하였다. 압력변수를 달리하여 두 단으로 나누어 반응을 진행하였다. 실험은 두 단을 연속적으로 진행하였고, 첫 번째 단에 가압, 상압, 감압으로 열처리를 진행하였고, 두 번째 단은 상압과 감압으로 실험하였다. 합성 온도는 $400^{\circ}C$, 합성 시간은 총 2 h으로 피치 합성을 진행하였다. 각 조건에 의해 제조된 피치의 열적 특성과 분자량 분포는 연화점 측정과 MALDI-TOF 분석을 통해 고찰하였다. 또한, GC-SIMDIS를 이용해 피치 합성 반응 중 휘발된 액상 성분에 대한 특성을 고찰하였다. 첫 번째 단에서 가압 조건을 이용한 경우, 저비점 물질들이 상대적으로 다른 두 조건보다 많이 피치 합성 반응에 참여하였으며, 저비점 물질들의 반응참여 효과로 낮은 연화점을 갖는 피치를 얻을 수 있었다. 반대로 첫 번째 단에서 감압 조건을 사용한 경우, 저비점 물질들이 효과적으로 휘발되어 반응기 외부로 빠져나가 낮은 피치 수율을 얻었고, 일부 코크스화가 진행된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 압력 공정변수를 제어하여 피치의 수율 및 연화점 등 물성을 효과적으로 조절할 수 있는 공정변수를 도출하였다.

  • 능동형 전자식 개인피폭선량는 개인의 피폭 선량을 실시간으로 확인할 수 있는 장점을 가진 보조선량계이다. 하지만 국내에 사용되고 있는 다수의 능동형 개인피폭 선량계는 의료기관에서 사용하는 진단방사선 영역에서 큰 오차와 낮은 응답성을 가진다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Si 포토다이오드 검출기를 사용하는 능동형 전자식 개인선량계에서 저에너지 영역의 응답특성을 향상시키기 위한 에너지 보상 두께를 평가하였다. 40 kVp에서 80 kVp 영역에서는 Al 0.2 mm + Sn 1.0 mm 필터에서 우수한 응답특성을 보였고 80 kVp에서 120 kVp 영역에서는 Al 0.2 mm + Sn 1.6 mm 필터에서 우수한 응답특성을 보였다.
