A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was fabricated with a nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ film electrode on FTO glass, N719 dye, electrolytes (or $CsSnI_3$), and counter Pt electrode by incorporating it with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). SWNTs were combined with $TiO_2$ film, $CsSnI_3$, Pt electrode, separately, and the SWNT-containing cell was compared with a pristine cell in cell performance. We also examined the performance change by pressing $TiO_2$ film, during cell fabrication, inside a high pressure chamber. Mostly, the change of conversion efficiency was compared for each cell, and an atomic force microscopy data were suggested to explain our results.

The purpose of this study was to observe corrosion characteristics of six dental amalgams and was to analyse corrosion products electrochemically. After each amalgam alloy and Hg was triturated as the direction of the manufacturer by using mechanical amalgamator, the triturated mass was inserted into the cylinderical metal mold ($12{\times}10mm$) and was condensed with 160kg/$cm^2$ by using the hydrolic press. The specimen was removed from the mold and was stored at room temperature for 1 week, and was polished with amalgam polishing kit. The anodic and cathodic polarization curve was obtained by using cyclic voltammetric method with 3-electrode potentiostat in saline for each amalgam and Ag, Sn, Cu plate specimen at $37{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. The potential sweep range was -1.7V~0. 4V(vs SCE) in working electrode and scan rate was 50mV/s and the exposed surface area of each specimen to the electrolytic solution was $0.79cm^2$. The results were as follows. 1. In anodic-cathodic polarization curve of amalgam specimens, two anodic current rising areas and two cathodic current peaks were obtained at the low Cu amalgam(CF, CS) specimen and three anodic current rising areas and three cathodic current peaks were obtained at the high Cu amalgam (TY, DS, HV) specimen. 2. As this compared with the anodic and cathodic current peak potentials of Sn, Cu and Ag specimen, the first cathodic current peak I c was caused by the reduction of divalent tin salt, second cathodic current peak IIIc results from the reduction of quadravalent tin salt, and third cathodic current peak me results from the reduction of copper salt. 3. As reverse potential sweeping was done repeatedly, anodic current was decreased slightly in all amalgam specimens.

Over the last few years, lead-free inorganic metal perovskites have gained impressive ground in empowering satellites in space exploration owing to their material stability and performance evolution under extreme space environments. The present work has examined the versatility of eight such perovskites as space radiation shielding materials by computing their photon, charged particles and neutron interaction parameters. Photon interaction parameters were calculated for a wide energy range using PAGEX software. The ranges of heavy charged particles (H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si and Fe ions) in these perovskites were estimated using SRIM software in the energy range 1 keV-10 GeV, and that of electrons was computed using ESTAR NIST software in the energy range 0.01 MeV-1 GeV. Further, the macroscopic fast neutron removal cross-sections were also calculated to estimate the neutron shielding efficiencies. The examined shielding parameters of the perovskites varied depending on the radiation type and energy. Among the selected perovskites, Cs₂TiI₆ and Ba₂AgIO₆ displayed superior photon attenuation properties. A 3.5 cm thick Ba₂AgIO₆-based shield could reduce the incident radiation intensity to half its initial value, a thickness even lesser than that of Pb-glass. Besides, CsSnBr₃ and La_0.8Ca_0.2Ni_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ displayed the highest and lowest range values, respectively, for all heavy charged particles. Ba₂AgIO₆ showed electron stopping power (on par with Kovar) better than that of other examined materials. Interestingly, La_0.8Ca_0.2Ni_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ demonstrated neutron removal cross-section values greater than that of standard neutron shielding materials - aluminium and polyethylene. On the whole, the present study not only demonstrates the employment prospects of eco-friendly perovskites for shielding space radiations but also suggests future prospects for research in this direction.

호열균 B. stearothermophilus의 세포내 PPIase를 정제하여 Edman 법으로 N-말단 아미노산 배열을 결정하여 이를 바탕으로 합성한 올리고누클레오티드의 프리머를 이용하여, 서턴 분석하여 PPIase 유전자 약 3.0kb를 클로닝하였다.(pPI-40) PPI-40으로부터 PPIase N-말단 배열을 코드 하는 영역으로부터 합성한 프리머(A-1, B-2)를 이용하여, PCR법으로 PPIase N-말단을 코드 하는 유전자를 증폭하여, 염기배열을 경정한 후, 그 정보에 따라 유전 해석한 결과 PCR로 증폭된 단편(pSN-18)은 165염기로부터 형성된 55 아미노산잔기를 코드 하는 open reading frame (ORF)이 계속되고 있었고, Edman법으로 결정한 PPIase N-말단 아미노산 39 아미노산잔기가 완전히 일치하였다. 그리고, 이 ORF를 중심으로, 지금까지 클론화된 대장균의 PPIasea (cytoplasm)와 PPIase b(periplasm)의 아미노산 일차구조 해석으로부터 각각 58%(cytoplasm), 16%(periplasm)의 상동성을 나타냈다. PPIase 구조 유전자를 갖는 재조합플라스미드 pPI-40을 JM109로 형질전환하여 Lac 프로모터로 PPIase 단백질을 발현시켰다. 효소 분자량을 SDSPAGE로 확인한 결과 약 18kDa으로 호열균 B. stearothermophilus로부터 정제한 단백질 분자량과 동일하다. 면역억제(CsA, FK506)와의 화학적인 반응은 대장균의 PPIase와 동일하게, 면역억제와는 비감수성으로 나타났다.
