Spinel thin films were prepared by the spin spray technique to develop new thermal imaging materials annealed at low temperature for uncooled microbolometer applications. The spinel thin films were deposited from $[(Ni_{0.30}Co_{0.33}Mn_{0.37})_{1-x}Cu_x]_3O_4$ ($0.1{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$) solutions and then annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in argon. Effects of Cu content (x) and deposition time on the electrical properties of the annealed films were investigated. With increasing deposition time, the resistivity of the annealed films increased. For the annealed films deposited for 1 min, the resistivity of x=0.15 films was lower than that of x=0.1 films due to the different grain sizes. The high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the annealed films could be obtained at temperature below $50^{\circ}C$. Typically, the resistivity of $127{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and TCR of -5.69%/K at $30^{\circ}C$ were obtained for x=0.1 films with deposition time of 1 min annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in argon.

Sintered metallic brake pads and low alloy heat resistance steel disks are applied to mechanical brake systems in high energy moving machines that are associated with recently developed 200km/h trains. This has led to the speed-up of conventional urban rapid transit. In this study, we use a lab-scale dynamometer to investigate the effects of the composition of friction materials on the tribological characteristics of sintered metallic brake pads and low alloy heat resistance steel under dry sliding conditions. We conduct test under a continuous pressure of 5.5 MPa at various speeds. To determine the optimal composition of friction materials for 200 km/h train, we test and the evaluate frictional characteristics such as friction coefficients, friction stability, wear rate, and the temperature of friction material, which depend on the relative composition of the Cu-Sn and Fe components. The results clearly demonstrate that the average friction coefficient is lower for all speed conditions, when a large quantity of iron power is added. The specimen of 25 wt% iron powder that was added decreased the wear of the friction materials and the roughness of the disc surface. However when 35 wt% iron powder was added, the disc roughness and the wear rate of friction materials increased By increasing the amount of iron powder, the surface roughness, and temperature of the friction materials increased, so the average friction coefficients decreased. An oxidation layer of $Fe_2O_3$ was formed on both friction surfaces.

8 bit and 16 bit microprocessors are widely used in the small sited control machine. The embedded microprocessors which is integrated on a single chip with the memory and I/O circuit must have simple hardware circuit and high code density. This paper proposes a 16 bit high code density EISC(Extendable Instruction Set Computer) microprocessor. SE1608 has 8 general purpose registers and 16 bit fixed length instruction set which has the short length offset and small immediate operand. By using an extend register and extend flag, the offset and immediate operand in instruction could be extended. SE1608 is implemented with 12,000 gate FPGA and all of its functions have been tested and verified at 8MHz. And the cross assembler, the cross C/C++compiler and the instruction simulator of the SE1608 have been designed and verified. This paper also proves that the code density$.$ of SE1608 shows 140% and 115% higher code density than 16 bit microprocessor H-8300 and MN10200 respectively, which is much higher than traditional microprocessors. As a consequence, the SE1608 is suitable for the embedded microprocessor since it requires less program memory to any other ones, and simple hardware circuit.

The maturity and spawning of the common octopus Octopus vulgaris were studied using 317 samples collected monthly from January to December of 2020 from the coastal waters of Yeosu, Korea. The mantle length (ML) of O. vulgaris ranged from 5.1 to 19.7 cm and body weight (BW) ranged from 117.6 to 3,645.4 g. We analyzed monthly changes in sex ratio, gonadosomatic index (GSI), histological maturity stage, and body weight at 50%, 75% and 97.5% group maturity. The sex ratio was 1:1.02, which was not significantly different from the value that expected. Based on histological observation of the gonad development and gonadosomatic index, the spawning periods lasted throughout the year, with peak spawning periods estimated from March to April and July to August. The percentages of sexually mature females estimated using a logistic equation were over 50% at 554.46 g BW, 75% at 1,134.38 g BW and 97.5% at 2,474.22 g BW respectively.

Since the organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been widely investigated as next-generation displays, it has been successfully commercialized as a flexible and rollable display. However, there is still wide room and demand to improve the device characteristics such as power efficiency and lifetime. To solve this issue, there has been a wide research effort, and among them, the internal and the external light extraction techniques have been attracted in this research field by its fascinating characteristic of material independence. In this study, a micro-nano composite structured external light extraction layer was demonstrated. A reactive ion etching (RIE) process was performed on the surfaces of hexagonally packed hemisphere micro-lens array (MLA) and randomly distributed sphere diffusing films to form micro-nano composite structures. Random nanostructures of different sizes were fabricated by controlling the processing time of the O₂ / CHF₃ plasma. The fabricated device using a micro-nano composite external light extraction layer showed 1.38X improved external quantum efficiency compared to the reference device. The results prove that the external light extraction efficiency is improved by applying the micro-nano composite structure on conventional MLA fabricated through a simple process.

In this study, the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of Euptelea pleiosperma ethanol extract (EPEE) were evaluated using in vitro assays and cell culture model systems. EPEE possessed a more potent scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl than the ascorbic acid used as a positive control. EPEE effectively suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS), in addition to hydrogen peroxide induced reactive oxygen species on RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, EPEE induced the expression of the anti-oxidative enzyme heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and its upstream transcription factor, nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), dose and time dependently. The modulation of HO-1 and Nrf2 expression might be regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinases and phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase/Akt as their upstream signaling pathways. On the other hand, EPEE inhibited LPS induced nitric oxide (NO) formation without cytotoxicity. Suppression of NO formation was the result of the down regulation of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) by EPEE. Suppression of NO and iNOS by EPEE may be modulated by their upstream transcription factor, nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$, and AP-1 pathways. Taken together, these results provide important new insights into E. pleiosperma, namely that it possesses anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities, indicating that it could be utilized as a promising material in the field of nutraceuticals.

This study was undertaken to investigate the interrelation between herbicide and insecticide and fungicide on rice (Oryza saliva L.) at various growth stages. Carbamate insecticide BPMC (2-sec-butylphenylmethyl-carbamate) severely inhibited germination of rice when applied alone and in combination with herbicides tested. No germination inhibition was obtained with thio- and dithiocarbamate pesticides. Post-germination growth of rice was severely inhibited by the treatments which were combined with BPMC irrespective of herbicides studied. Phytotoxicity of pendimethalin (3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitro-N-1-ethyl propylamine) was reduced by antagonistic effect of organophosphorus compounds. When herbicides were applied with either insecticide or fungicide, post-germination growth of rice was more greatly affected by the concentration of herbicides than that of insecticides or fungicides. Most of herbicide-insecticide or herbicide-fungicide treatments did not cause great phytotoxicity on rice when applied 5 days after transplanting. Foliage activity of phenoxy herbicide 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) and MCPA [(4-chloro-o-tolyl) oxy acetic acid] increased with addition of carbamate and urea pesticides.

This study was performed to evaluate the potentiality of Reynoutria elliptica Migo., being used as a folk remedy and a herb medicine for urethritis, cystitis, etc., on growth inhibition of Helicobacter pylori which is known as the ulcerogenic pathogen. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of methanol extract from Reynoutria elliptica Migo, was determined to be 120 ppm for H. pylori and urease activity derived from H. pylori was inhibited over 80% by the extract at 2 mg/mL in urea broth. Among various solvent fraction of the methanol extract, the hexane fraction showed a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of H. pylori reducing both its growth and urease activity. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs of H. pylori treated with the methanol extract at 2 mg/mL for 3 hr showed that the cell walls and membranes were disrupted so that the cytoplasmic components were leaked from the body. These results suggest that Reynoutria elliptica Migo. possesses a therapeutic potential on the gastric disease caused by H. pylori.
