This study was undertaken to compare by Atomic Force Microscope the effects of various finishing and polishing instruments on surface roughness of filling and veneering composite resins. Seven composite resins were studied : Silux Plus (3M Dental Products, U.S.A.), Charisma (Heraeus Kulzer, Germany), Prisma THP (L.D.Caulk, Dentsply, U.S.A.), Photoclearfil (Kuraray, Japan), Cesead (Kuraray, Japan), Thermoresin LC (GC, Japan), Artglass (Heraeus Kulzer, Germany). Samples were placed and polymerized in holes (2mm thick and 8.5mm in diameter) machined in Teflon mold under glass plate, ensuring excess of material and moulded to shape with polyester matrix strip. Except control group (Polyester matrix strip), all experimental groups were finished and polishied under manufacturer's instructions. The finishing and polishing procedure were : carbide bur (E.T carbide set 4159, Komet, Germany), diamond bur (composite resin polishing bur set, GC, Japan), aluminum-oxide disc (Sof-Lex Pop-On, 3M Dental Products, U.S.A.), diamond-particle disc (Dia-Finish, Renfert Germany), white stone bur & rubber point( composite finishing kit, EDENTA, Swiss), respectively. Each specimens were evaluated for the surface roughness with Atomic Force Microscope (AutoProbe CP, Park Scientific Instruments, U.S.A.) under contact mode and constant height mode. The results as follows : 1. Except Thermoresin LC, all experimental composite resin groups showed more rougher than control group after finishing and polishing(p<0.1). 2. A surface as smooth as control group was obtained by $Al_{2}O_{3}$ disc all filling composite resin groups except Charisma and all veneering composite resin groups except Thermoresin LC(p<0.05). 3. In case of Thermoresin LC, there were no statistically significant differences before and after finishing and polishing(p>0.1). 4. Carbide bur, diamond bur showed rough surfaces in all composite resin groups, so these were inappropriate for the final polishing instruments.

insenosides from Panax ginseng are well known for their diverse pharmacological effects including antithrombotic activity. Since adventitious roots of mountain ginseng (ARMG) also contain various ginsenosides, blood flow-improving effects of the dried powder and extract of ARMG were investigated. Rats were orally administered with dried powder (PARMG) or ethanol extract (EARMG) of ARMG (125, 250 or 500 mg/kg) or aspirin (30 mg/kg, a reference control) for 3 weeks. Forty min after the final administration, carotid arterial thrombosis was induced by applying a 70% $FeCl_3$-soaked filter paper outside the arterial wall for 5 min, and the blood flow was monitored with a laser Doppler probe. Both PARMG and EARMG delayed the $FeCl_3$-induced arterial occlusion in a dose-dependent manner, doubling the occlusion time at high doses. In mechanism studies, a high concentration of EARMG inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen in vitro. In addition, EARMG improved the blood lipid profiles, decreasing triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Although additional action mechanisms remain to be clarified, it is suggested that ARMG containing high amount of ginsenosides such as $Rg_3$ improves blood flow not only by inhibiting oxidative thrombosis, but also by modifying blood lipid profiles.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional involvement of sympathetic nerve in the control of the microcirculation in the dental pulp with the aim of elucidation of the involvement of neuropeptides and sympathetic nerve in neurogenic inflammation. Experiments were done on the 7 cats anesthetised with sodium pentobarbital, and sympathetic nerve to the' dental pulp was stimulated electrically (10 Hz, 4 V, 1.5 ms, 3.5 mins). Ana-adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine and a neuropeptide Y antagonist D-myo-inositol-1,2,6-trisphosphate (PP56) were injected close intra-arterially into the dental pulp without changing the systemic blood pressure. The probe of laser Doppler flowmeter was placed on the buccal surface of ipsilateral canine teeth to the stimulation, and pulpal blood flow was measured. Stimulation of the sympathetic nerve decreased pulpal blood flow by $55.24{\pm}7.74\;%$ (mean${\pm}$SEM, n = 13). Stimulation of the sympathetic nerve following the injection of the ${\alpha}$-adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine ($0.1{\mu}g$/kg) caused decrease of pulpal blood flow by $14.35{\pm}3.43%$ (mean${\pm}$SEM, n=5). Phentolamine attenuated the sympathetic nerve-induced pulpal blood flow decrease by $74.02{\pm}9.32%$ (mean${\pm}$SEM) Stimulation of the sympathetic nerve following the injection of the neuropeptide Y antagonist PP56 (2.3 mg/kg) caused decrease of pulpal blood flow by $30.64{\pm}7.92%$ (mean${\pm}$SEM, n=6). PP56 attenuated the sympathetic nerve-induced pulpal blood flow decrease by $44.37{\pm}11.01%$ (mean${\pm}$SEM). These data provide evidences of the co-contribution of nerepinephrine and neuropeptide Y on the sympathetic nerve-induced vasoconstriction in the feline dental pulp. In addition, they show functional evidences that sympathetic nerve plays an active role in controlling the microcirculation of the dental pulp.

The improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency is the one of the most important part in AC-PDPs. To achieve high luminance and luminous efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency is needed. We measured the emission spectra of vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) and infrared(IR) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with Ne-Xe mixture gas. The influence of Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on resonance state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{1})$ and exited state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{2})$ has been investigated. It is found that the intensity of VUV 147nm emission is proportional to that of the IR 828 nm emission, and the VUV 173nm emission is roughly proportional to that of the IR 823nm emission. The electron temperature and plasma density have been experimentally measured from the center of sustaining electrode gap by a micro Langmuir probe in AC-PDPs. The plasma density from the center of sustaining electrode gap are shown to be maximum value of $9{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$, where the electron temperature is about 1.6 eV in this experiment

Nitration of tyrosine and tryptophan residues is common in cells under nitrative stress. However, physiological consequences of protein nitration are not well characterized on a molecular level due to limited availability of the 3D structures of nitrated proteins. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation can be an alternative tool to probe the structural perturbations induced by nitration. In this study we developed molecular mechanics parameters for 3-nitrotyrosine (NIY) and 6-nitrotryptophan (NIW) that are compatible with the AMBER-99 force field. Partial atomic charges were derived by using a multi-conformational restrained electrostatic potential (RESP) methodology that included the geometry optimized structures of both $\alpha$- and $\beta$-conformers of a capped tripeptide ACE-NIY-NME or ACE-NIW-NME. Force constants for bonds and angles were adopted from the generalized AMBER force field. Torsional force constants for the proper dihedral C-C-N-O and improper dihedral C-O-N-O of the nitro group in NIY were determined by fitting the torsional energy profiles obtained from quantum mechanical (QM) geometry optimization with those from molecular mechanical (MM) energy minimization. Force field parameters obtained for NIY were transferable to NIW so that they reproduced the QM torsional energy profiles of ACE-NIW-NME accurately. Moreover, the QM optimized structures of the tripeptides containing NIY and NIW were almost identical to the corresponding structures obtained from MM energy minimization, attesting the validity of the current parameter set. Molecular dynamics simulations of thioredoxin nitrated at the single tyrosine and tryptophan yielded well-behaved trajectories suggesting that the parameters are suitable for molecular dynamics simulations of a nitrated protein.

고체전지, 산화물연료전지, 센서, 산화물 분리막 등 에너지 재료로 활용이 무궁한 산소 이온 전도체 중 acceptor가 첨가된 $LaAlO_3$의 전기적 특성과 고온에서의 혼합전도체로 사용 가능성을 연구하였다. Sr과 Mg을 $LaAlO_3$에 동시에 첨가하여 만든 LSAM의 전기적 특성을 교류(a.c.)와 직류(d.c.) 방법을 이용하여 다양한 산소 분압에서 측정하였다. 교류 임피던스 방법을 이용하여 LSAM의 전체 저항에서 입자(grain) 저항과 입계(grain boundary) 저항을 분리한 결과, $550^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 입계 저항이 지배적이나 $800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 입자 저항이 대부분임을 알 수 있었다. 또 산소분압에 따른 전도도 측정을 물질의 결함모델(defect model)을 이용하여 분석해 전체 전도도를 이온 전도도와 전자 전도도로 분리하였다. 그 결과, $800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 LSAM은 낮은 산소분압($Po_2$ < $10^{-10}atm$)에서는 산소이온 전도체이고 높은 산소분압($Po_2$ > $10^{-5}atm$)에서는 혼합전도체의 거동을 보였다. 또 온도가 증가하여도 산소이온 전도가 주도적인 산소분압의 영역은 줄어들지 않았고 낮은 산소분압에서도 안정적인 전기적 특성을 보이는 등으로 보아, LSAM은 고온의 낮은 산소분압(T > $1500^{\circ}C$, $Po_2$ < $10^{-10}atm$) 조건에서 용강에서의 산소이온센서와 같은 산소이온체로의 사용 가능성이 높다.

How do plants take up water from soils especially when water is scarce in soils? Plants have a strategy to respond to water deficit to manage water necessary for their survival and growth. Plants regulate water transport inside them. Water flows inside the plant via (i) apoplastic pathway including xylem vessel and cell wall and (ii) cell-to-cell pathway including water channels sitting in cell membrane (aquaporins). Water transport across the root and leaf is explained by a composite transport model including those pathways. Modification of the components in those pathways to change their hydraulic conductivity can regulate water uptake and management. Apoplastic barrier is modified by producing Casparian band and suberin lamellae. These structures contain suberin known to be hydrophobic. Barley roots with more suberin content from the apoplast showed lower root hydraulic conductivity. Root hydraulic conductivity was measured by a root pressure probe. Plant root builds apoplastic barrier to prevent water loss into dry soil. Water transport in plant is also regulated in the cell-to-cell pathway via aquaporin, which has received a great attention after its discovery in early 1990s. Aquaporins in plants are known to open or close to regulate water transport in response to biotic and/or abiotic stresses including water deficit. Aquaporins in a corn leaf were opened by illumination in the beginning, however, closed in response to the following leaf water potential decrease. The evidence was provided by cell hydraulic conductivity measurement using a cell pressure probe. Changing the hydraulic conductivity of plant organ such as root and leaf has an impact not only on the speed of water transport across the plant but also on the water potential inside the plant, which means plant water uptake pattern from soil could be differentiated. This was demonstrated by a computer simulation with 3-D root structure having root hydraulic conductivity information and soil. The model study indicated that the root hydraulic conductivity plays an important role to determine the water uptake from soil with suboptimal water, although soil hydraulic conductivity also interplayed.

침지형 막/생물반응기에 암모니움 합성폐수를 공급하여 약 350일 동안 운전하면서 질산화 특성 및 미생물의 분포 변화를 살펴보았다. 원수의 암모니움 농도는 500-1000 $mgNH_4-N/L$, 질소 부하는 $1-2\;kgN/m^3{\cdot}d$로 공급하였고, 용존산소(DO)농도, 슬러지 체류시간(SRT), 온도 변화에 따른 질산화 효율, 아질산성 질소의 비율, 슬러지 농도, sludge volume index(SVI)변화를 모니터링 하였다. DO 농도, 온도, SRT 증가에 따라 암모니움 산화율은 증가하였으며, 이와 같은 암모니움 산화율의 감소로 MBR 내에서 free ammonia($NH_3-N$)농도가 증가할 경우 처리수에서 아질산성 질소의 비율이 높아졌다. 운전 기간 중 원인이 뚜렷하지 않은 질산화 효율의 급격한 감소가 관찰되었는데, 이때 슬러지 벌킹 및 SVI 값의 증가가 동시에 수반되었다. 운전 후반부에 질산화균이 우점된 MBR에 추가로 유기물을 공급하면, SVI 값이 2배로 증가하였고 암모니움 산화율은 감소하였다. FISH 분석에서 나타난 MBR내의 미생물 분포는 암모니아 산화균의 경우 Nitrosomonas가 우점하였으나 운전 후반부로 갈수록 Nitrosospira의 비율이 Nitrosomonas와 비슷할 정도로 증가하였다. 아질산 산화균은 Nitrospira가 우점하였지만 Nitrobacter 역시 운전기간 내내 관찰되었는데, 이는 MBR 내에서 높게 유지된 아질산성 질소가 Nitrobacter의 성장에 도움을 준 것으로 보인다.

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법을 이용하여 $Ar/N_2$ 가스비와 기판 온도 변화에 따른 AlN 박막의 배향성과 표면 거칠기 그리고 압전 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 특히, $Ar/N_2$=10/10 (sccm), 기판 온도 $400^{\circ}C$ 일 때 가장 우수한 (002) 배향성을 얻을 수 있었다. AFM 을 이용하여 표면 거칠기를 분석한 결과, 기판 온도 $400^{\circ}C$ 인 경우 $Ar/N_2$ 가스비의 변화에 대해서는 $N_2$의 분압비가 증가할수록 표면 거칠기 특성이 좋아지는 것으로 나타났으며 $Ar/N_2$=0/20 (sccm) 일 때 2.1 nm 로 가장 작은 값을 나타내었다. $Ar/N_2$=10/10 (sccm) 인 조건에서 기판 온도 변화에 대한 표면 거칠기 특성은 기판 온도가 상온에서 $300^{\circ}C$ 로 증가함에 따라 향상되는 경향을 보였으며, $300^{\circ}C$ 에서 3.036 nm 로 최소값을 나타낸 후, 기판 온도가 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 상승하면 표면 거칠기는 다시 열악해지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Pneumatic probe 방법을 이용하여 압전 특성을 측정한 결과, $Ar/N_2$=10/10 (sccm), 기판 온도 $400^{\circ}C$ 일 때 Piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$)=6.01 pC/N 이라는 가장 우수한 값을 나타내었으며, 이는 AlN 박막이 가장 좋은 (002) 배향성을 갖는 조건과 일치하는 것이다.
