In the oriental medicine field, researches have been in progress regarding oriental medical factors. I also carried out a clinical study on stroke, from which I discovered meaningful results about important factors that impact on the prognosis of stroke. We studied 132 patients after diagnosis of stroke through a Brain-CT scan and MRI sea, to the oriental internal medicine department at the Hospital affiliated to Oriental Medical College, Dongeui University. All the patients showed meaningful improvement in the examination of their symptoms after four weeks, compared with the first week. Between strokes involving meridian system and strokes involving internal organs, the symptom of paralysis caused by strokes involving meridian system, which patients were in favorable initial condition, had improved significantly and that by strokes involving internal organs had not. The group whose initial bowel movement since the stroke was delayed, whose coating on the tongue was thick or the tongue was dry, whose pulse was tachycardiac, or who had a history of hypertension or diabetics showed a significantly worse symptom after 4 weeks than that of groups in the opposite cases.

Chitosan, a natural cationic macromolecular material, has been known for its moisturizing and healing effect due to the coating action based on strong ionic bonding when the chitosan is treated on hair strands. In this study, the acidic aqueous chitosan solution was prepared to treat healthy hair, and damaged hair due to bleaching, relatively thin hair and thick hair specimens. The chitosan treatment effect was reviewed by comparing spectrophotometric and mechanical characteristics of the chitosan treated and untreated specimens. Electrostatic voltage was somewhat reduced after the chitosan treatment. Smoothly coated surface was observed, in the SEM images, especially for damaged hair specimens. The values of breaking strength, which is one of the indicators of the internal characteristics of hair, was high in the case of chitosan treated samples. The values of elongation was also high in the case of chitosan treated samples, which proves the chitosan treatment effect. The friction force, one of the indicators of surface characteristics, was reduced for the case of chitosan treated samples.

The behaviors of diamond deposition using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method have been studied by varying the concentration of methane in the methane - hydrogen gas mixture. The carbonization is checked from peak intensities of D($sp^3$) and G($sp^2$) peaks in Raman spectra. The hydronization and C-H bonding status in films can also be determined from FTIR results. Both the bonding strength of C-H and the ratio of $sp^3$ to $sp^2$ in bonding are found to be slightly dependent of partial pressure of $CH_4$ Judging from above results, we can conclude that the best value for partial pressure of $CH_4$ in growing process of thick films is about 13.8%.

Inkjet printing was successfully done using Cu nano powder ink after these Cu nano powders were dry-coated with 1-octanethiol for oxidation prevention. 1-octanethiol, which is Self-Assembled Multi-layers (SAMs), was coated approximately 10-nm thick on the surface of Cu nano powders. 1-Octanol, which has the same chain length as that for 1-octanethiol, was used as a solvent to make the ink for inkjet printing. As a result, the fabricated ink was dispersed for about 4 weeks, and after printing and heat treatment at $350^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, the resistivity for the printed pattern was measured to be $1.15{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

Paper stock could be situated in a cooled environment seasonally and/or regionally otherwise it is stored in a controlled warehouse. In this paper, printing problems on a cooled paper are investigated and characterized in terms of paper properties. For this purpose, various kinds of sample are cooled down under a specially designed freezing device and printed for observing their printability. Causes for poor ink transfer on a cooled paper are suggested due to condensation, surface inactivity, and rheological change in ink film. Paperboards with higher amount of binder, thick and/or multi-coated layers are more vulnerable to poor ink trap. Severe drying of wet coating could cause a similar result as that of the coatings with higher binder formulation. It is shown that more absorptive porous structure is desirable for better ink receptivity in a cooled status. Printing on a dampened surface may be an indicator for ink transferability on a cooled paper. Finally, desirable directions for papermaker and printshop are suggested.

Applying an external electric field across air filter media is one of methods to improve the filtration performance. Metal wire meshes have been commonly used as electrodes situated on both sides of a thick filter pad. For a thin filter medium a short circuit, known as the biggest drawback for applying an external electric field to air filter, can occur at the closest point between electrodes. In this study several types of insulated meshes were prepared by coating #50 meshes with a dielectric material, Nylon 66, and the filtration property of air filter was evaluated at the presence of external electric field using those insulated meshes as electrodes and compared with that of filters using bared meshes. The collection efficiency of tested filter was increased from 78% to 95% for singly charged 100 nm particles by application of external electric field. As a result, there was no significant difference in collection efficiency between filters with insulated and bared electrodes. Similar results could be also seen from the tests using polydisperse particles. Finally, through this study, we found that the insulation of mesh electrodes doesn't affect the filtration performance of fibrous air filter under external electric field.

In this study, we fabricated nickel oxide thin film for lithium based electrolyte using sol-gel method. This film was deposited by dip-coating method with mixed solvent of DameH (N,N-dimethylaminoethanol) and DI water. As changing the ratio between DmaeH and DI water, nickel oxide thin film was presented in different charge density and optical transmittance because they were shown various thickness. It was accounted for changing viscosity and density by the ratio of DmaeH and DI water. The thin film synthesized with 1 : 1 ratio of DmaeH and DI water was expressed best electrochromic performance in lithium based electrolyte, because of thick thickness but porous structures.

Ferroelectric Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3 thin films were successfully fabricated on ITO/Glass substrate by sol-gel proces-sing and characterized to determine the dielectric and electric properties. Viscosity of PEN sol measured to investigate rheological properties was 3.25 cP which was proper for coating. The sol also showed Newtonian behavior. RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) was used for the annealing of the thin film and 1200~1700$\AA$ thick PEN thin films were fabricated by repeating the intermediate and the final annealing. After the deposition of Pt as top electrode by vacuum evaporation dielectric and electric properties were measured. Dielectric properties of FFN thin film were enhanced by increasing the perovskite phase fraction with increasing the annealing temperature. Measured dielectric constant of 1700$\AA$ PFN thin film annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ was 890 at 1kHz Capacitatnce density and dielectric loss were 47 fF/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$2 and 0.47 respectively. As a result of measuring Curie temperature PFN thin films had Curie point with a rang of 110~12$0^{\circ}C$ and showed broad dielectric peak at that point. Leakage current of the PFN thin films were increased with increasing the annealing tempera-ture.

Silica films were prepared on Si single crystal substrates by sol-gel process using TEOS as starting materials. Films were fabricated by a spin coating technique. Sol solutions were prepared by varying the compositions of CH3OH, H2O and DMF with fixed molar ratio of TEOS=1, HCl=0.05(mol). Wetting behavior viscosity of solutions gelation time thickness of films and cracking behavior were investigated with the various solution compositions. Wetting behaviors of solutions depended on the solution compositions mixing method and mixing rate. The optimum composition of sol was TEOS : DMF ; CH3OH: H2O :HCl=1:2:4:4:0.05(mol) and the mixing rate of solution was optimized at 1 ml/min. Viscosity of solutions were controlled by choosing a reaction time(elapsed time after mixing) at a room temperature so that we could get up to 800nm thick film The surface roughness was getting poor when thickness of films was thicker than 500nm. Thickness of coated films were increased with decreasing amount of CH3OH. The best surface roughness was obtained at the content of CH3OH 4 mol. The shortest gelation time was obtained with the content of CH3OH 8 mol. Crack-free filkms were fabricated when sintered at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr with heating rate of 0.6$^{\circ}C$/min.

We have successfully fabricated a Metal-Ferroelectric-Insulator-Semiconductor (MFIS) structure using Bi$\sub$4-x/La$\sub$x/Ti$_3$O$\sub$12/ (BLT) ferroelectric thin film and SiO$_2$/Nitride/SiO$_2$ (ONO) stacked buffer layers for single transistor type ferroelectric nonvolatile memory applications. BLT films were deposited on 15 nm-thick ONO buffer layer by sol-gel spin-coating. The dielectric constant and the leakage current density of prepared ONO film were measured to be 5.6 and 1.0 x 10$\^$-8/ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 2MV/cm, respectively, It was interesting to note that the crystallographic orientations of BLT thin films were strongly effected by pre-bake temperatures. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that (117) crystallites were mainly detected in the BLT film if pre-baked below 400$^{\circ}C$. Whereas, for the films pre-baked above 500$^{\circ}C$, the crystallites with preferred c-axis orientation were mainly detected. From the C-V measurement of the MFIS capacitor with c-axis oriented BLT films, the memory window of 0.6 V was obtained at a voltage sweep of ${\pm}$8 V, which evidently reflects the ferroelectric memory effect of a BLT/ONO/Si structure.
