Brain microglia are phagocytic cells that are the major inflammatory response cells of the central nervous system and widely held to play important pathophysiologic roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) in both potentially neurotoxic responses and potentially beneficial phagocytic responses. In the study, we examined whether ginsonoside Rg3, a by-product of red ginseng, enhances the microglial phagocytosis of $A{\beta}$. We found that Rg3 promoted $A{\beta}$ uptake, internalization, and digestion. Increased maximal $A{\beta}$ uptake was observed at 4 and 8 h after Rg3 pretreatment (25 ${\mu}g/mL$), and the internalized $A{\beta}$ was almost completely digested from cells within 36 h when pretreated with Rg3 comparing with single non-Rg3-treated groups. The expression of MSRA (type A MSR) was also up-regulated by Rg3 treatment in a dose- and time-dependent manner which was coincidently identified in western blots for MSRA proteins in cytosol. These results indicate that microglial phagocytosis of $A{\beta}$ may be enhanced by Rg3 and the effect of Rg3 on promoting clearance of $A{\beta}$ may be related to the MSRA-associated action of Rg3. Thus, stimulation of the MSRA might contribute to the therapeutic potentials of Rg3 in microglial phagocytosis and digestion in the treatment of AD.

본 연구는 시멘트 경화체 중의 Cl 고정화 메카니즘을 규명하는 연구의 일환으로 시멘트의 C3A 함유량에 따른 Cl 고정화 효과를 세공용액 분석방법에 의해 조사한 것으로 C3A함유량 0.46 9.65%의 4가지 시멘트와 C3A를 함유하지 않은 초속경 시멘트 페이스트를 밀봉용기내에서 양생시켜 재령 28일에 세공용액을 추출하여 세공용액 중의 Cl 과 OH 농도를 측정, C3A함유량이 Cl 고정화에 미치는 영향을 검토한 것이다. 연구결과 세공용액 중의 Cl 농도는 NaCl 혼입량에 관계없이 시멘트 중의 C3A량이 증가함에 따라 낮아져 시멘트 경화체 내에서 Cl 의 고정화에 C3A가 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 세공용액의 Cl /OH 는 Cl 혼입량이 시멘트 중량의 0.3%인 경우 강재부동태막을 파괴하는 0.3보다 낮았으며 X선회절분석에 의해 C3A에 의한 고정화 메카니즘은 프리델씨염(Friedel's salt)의 생성에 의함을 확인하였다.

This study was a study on an facilitated transport membrane to replace the cryogenic separation method currently used in olefin/paraffin separation. Cost reduction is also a very important factor to commercialize facilitated transport membranes. However, AgBF4, which has been studied a lot, is a relatively expensive silver salt. To replace this, a PEBAX-2533/ AgCF3SO3/Al(NO3)3 composite film was prepared using relatively inexpensive AgCF3SO3. It was analyzed through SEM, FT-IR, and RAMAN. Through this study, it was confirmed that the polymer matrix affects the long-term stability.

In this paper, RF and IF circuits for mobile terminals which have usually been implemented using expensive BiCMOS processes are designed using CMOS circuits, and a Tx CMOS RF/IF single chip for PCS applications is designed. The designed circuit consists of an IF block including an IF PLL frequency synthesizer, an IF mixer, and a VGA and an RF block including a SSB RF mixer and a driver amplifier, and performs all transmit signal processing functions required between digital baseband and the power amplifier. The phase noise level of the designed IF PLL frequency synthesizer is -114dBc/Hz@100kHz and the lock time is less than $300{\mu}s$. It consumes 5.3mA from a 3V power supply. The conversion gain and OIP3 of the IF mixer block are 3.6dB and -11.3dBm. It consumes 5.3mA. The 3dB frequencies of the VGA are greater than 250MHz for all gain settings. The designed VGA consumes 10mA. The designed RF block exhibits a gain of 14.93dB and an OIP3 of 6.97dBm. The image and carrier suppressions are 35dBc and 31dBc, respectively. It consumes 63.4mA. The designed circuits are under fabrication using a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The designed entire chip consumes 84mA from a 3V supply, and its area is $1.6㎜{\times}3.5㎜$.

As a basic study for recycling molten converter slag as an ordinary portland cement (OPC) by a conversion process, the reaction mechanism and the rate of the formation of $C_4AF$ which is one of the main components of OPC were investigated. The converter slag whose basicity was controlled by adding reagent grade $SiO_2$ was melted and hold for 30 minutes in MgO crucible at $1300^{\circ}C{\sim}1350^{\circ}C$. Then, the sintered CaO pellet heated at the same temperature was dipped into the molten slag and hold for $10{\sim}30$minutes. After the reaction, the crucible was cooled in air and the specimen was cut off to the horizontal direction of the crucible. The dissolution rate of $C_3A$ pellet was measured by the change of radius of the sintered $C_3A$ pellet, and the formed phase of $C_4AF$ was observed by SEM/EDX. As a result, the dissolution rate of $C_3A$ pellet into molten slag was increased from $0.75{\times}10^{-4}(cm/sec)$ at $1300^{\circ}C$ to $1.67{\times}10^{-4}(cm/sec)$ at $1350^{\circ}C$, and the mixed layer of $C_4AF$ and $C_{12}A_7$ was found between slag and $C_3A$ pellet.

KOMPSAT-3A launched in 2015 provides Middle InfraRed(MIR) images with 3.3~5.2㎛. Though the satellite provide high resolution images for estimating bright temperature of ground objects, it is different from existing satellites developed for natural science purposes. An atmospheric compensation process is essential in order to estimate the surface brightness temperature from a single channel MIR image of KOMPSAT-3A. However, even after the atmospheric compensation process, there is a brightness temperature error due to various factors. In this paper, we analyzed the cause of the brightness temperature estimation error by tracking signal flow from camera physical characteristics to image processing. Also, we study on possibility of improvement of MIR brightness temperature bias error of KOMPSAT-3A using GEOKOMPSAT-2A. After bias compensation of a real nighttime image with a large bias error, it was confirmed that the surface brightness temperature of KOMPSAT-3A and GEOKOMPSAT-2A have correlation. We expect that the GEOKOMPSAT-2A images will be helpful to improve MIR brightness temperature bias error of KOMPSAT-3A.

A recent increase of interests on the influence of 3D printing and low prices of 3D printers makes a high possibility of 3D printer adoption as a educational equipment in public education settings. The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy proposed '3D printing industry development strategies', and had pilot schools to include understanding of 3D printing concepts and practices in the primary, secondary and high schools' curriculum. However, even if 3D printers were provided in educational settings, the research on educational content and methods to properly react to this change is very limited. Therefore, this study reviewed various 3D modeling software because a modeling skill is a prerequisite skill to use 3D printers, and proposed a creative design spiral based teaching content that can be incorporated in elementary school contexts.

Several bisphosphine- and bisphosphite-substituted Re-imido complexes have been prepared from Re(NPh)(PPh3)2Cl3, 1, and Re(N-C6H3-i-Pr2)2Cl3(py), 4. Compound 1 reacted with trimethyl phosphate (P(OMe)3) to give a mixture of two isomers,mer,trans-Re(NPh)(P(OMe)3)2Cl3, 2, and fac,cis-Re(NPh)(P(OMe)3)2Cl3, 2a. In this reaction, the mer,trans-isomer is a major product. Complex 1 also reacted with triethylphosphine (PEt3) to exclusively give mertrans-Re(NPh)(PEt3)2Cl3, 3. Compound 4 reacted with trimethylphosphine (PMe3) to give mer,trans-Re(N-C6H3-i-Pr2)(PMe3)2Cl3, 5, which was converted to mer-Re(N-C6H3-i-Pr2)(PMe)(OPMe3)Cl3, 6, on exposure to air.

To achieve the purpose of this study, forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to control and three endurance exercise group. 36 rats were forced to exercise according to exercise intensity for 8 weeks and 12 rats were untrained for control group. Cardiac cytosol was extracted from cardiac tissue and cardiac mitochondria was purified from the cytosol. Purified mitochondria were separated into four fraction: inner membrane, outer membrane inter membrane space and matrix. The changes of cytosolic and mitochondrial LDH isozymes activity were measure. Relative activity $(\%)$ of cytosol for low and control group showed the following order of prevalence $AB_3>A_2B_2>B_4>A_3B>A_4$ for moderate and high group : $AB_3>B_4>A_2B_2>A_3B>A_4$. Outer membrane for low group showed $AB_3>B_4>A_2B_2$, for moderate group:$ B_4>AB_3>A_2B_2$, for high and control group: $B_4>A_3B$. Inter membrane space for low, moderate and high group showed $B_4>AB_3>A_2B_2>A_3B>A_4$, for control group: $B_4>A_3B>AB_3>A_2B_2>A_4$. Inner membrane for all group showed $B_4>AB_3>A_2B_2>A_3B>A_4$. Matrix for control, low, moderate and high group showed $B_4>AB_3>A_2B_2>A_3B>A_4$. These results suggest that long term exercise intensity effect on cardiac tissue cytosolic and mitochondrial activity and $A_4,\;A_3B,\;A_2B_2,\;AB_3\;and\;B_4$ isozymes were found entirely in mitochondrial fraction.
