  • Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic bioactive peptide that was first isolated from an ovine hypothalamus in 1989. PACAP belongs to the secretin/glucagon/vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) superfamily. PACAP is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and acts as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, and neurotrophic factor via three major receptors (PAC1, VPAC1, and VPAC2). Recent studies have shown a neuroprotective role of PACAP using in vitro and in vivo models. In this review, we briefly summarize the current findings on the neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects of PACAP in different brain injury models, such as cerebral ischemia, Parkinson's disease (PD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review will provide information for the future development of therapeutic strategies in treatment of these neurodegenerative diseases.

  • This paper draws on the interdependence theory to examine the role of power and mutual dependence on the relationship between internal/external diffusion and performance improvement within a supply chain. The results from a survey of 375 respondents show that two patterns of IOS diffusion - internal diffusion and external diffusion - have different impacts on a firm's performance improvement according to differences in power and mutual dependence between two parties in the supply chain.

  • 식품에서 탄수화물은 우리 몸에 열량을 주는 역할 외에도 맛을 부여하는 중요한 기능을 한다. 그러나 열량의 과잉 섭취로 인한 비만과 그로 인한 질병들로 인하여 저열량 탄수화물 소재에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 폴리덱스트로스와 당알코올은 각각 2.0 kcal/g, 2.4 kcal/g의 열량을 가지므로 식품 내의 다른 탄수화물을 대체하여 사용하면 그만큼 열량을 줄일 수 있는 소재이다. 폴리덱스트로스는 저열량 소재라는 장점 이외에도 식이섬유원으로 널리 사용될 수 있어 열량을 줄임과 동시에 식이섬유를 보충할 수 있다. 당알코올은 설탕을 대체할 수 있는 감미를 가지면서도 당류에서 제외됨으로써 정부의 당류 저감 정책에 부합할 수 있는 소재이다. 또한 폴리덱스트로스와 당알코올은 열이나 산 등에 쉽해 분해되지 않고 안정한 특성이 있어 식품제조공정에 영향을 받지 않고 사용할 수 있다.

  • In the previous report, we have demonstrated that ginsenoside Rc, one of major ginsenosides, is a major component for the restoration for normal growth of worms in cholesterol-deprived medium. In the present study, we further investigated the roles of minor ginsenosides, such as ginsenoside $Rh_1$ and $Rh_2$, ginsenoside metabolites such as compound K (CK), protopanaxadiol (PPD), and protopanaxatriol (PPT) and ginsenoside epimers such as 20(R)- and 20(S)-ginsenoside $Rg_3$ in cholesterol-deprived medium. We found that ginsenoside $Rh_1$ almost restored normal growth of worms in cholesterol-deprived medium in F1 generation. However, supplement of ginsenoside $Rh_2$ caused a suppression of worm growths in cholesterol-deprived medium. In addition, CK and PPD also slightly restored normal growth of worms in cholesterol-deprived medium but PPT not. In experiments using ginsenoside epimers, supplement of 20(S)- but not 20(R)-ginsenoside $Rg_3$ in cholesterol-deprived medium also almost restored worm growth. These results indicate that the absence or presence of carbohydrate component at backbone of ginsenoside, the number of carbohydrate attached at carbon-3, and the position of hydroxyl group at carbon-20 of ginsenoside might plays important roles in restoration of worm growth in cholesterol-deprived medium.

  • 기반암의 상부 토양층에 협재하는 속도이상층이 레일리파 위상속도와 수직변위의 스펙트럼 진폭에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 Thomsen-Haskell 방법을 사용하였다. 기본모델은 횡파속도(${\nu}_s$) 300 m/s의 토양층이 9 m 두께로 ${\nu}_s$가 1000 m/s인 반무한 기반암 위에 쌓여 있다. 토양층 내에 두께 1, 2, 3 m, S파속도 150, 225, 375, 450 m/s인 삽입층은 지표부터 깊이 1 m 간격으로 놓여있다. 레일리파 위상속도($C_R$)는 4 ~ 30 Hz 주파수 구간에서 계산하였다. 삽입층 모델은 두께가 1 m일 때, 기본모델과 삽입모델의 위상속도 차이인 ${\Delta}C_R$에 민감하게 반응하는 주파수 대역은 8 ~ 20 Hz이며, 이 주파수 대역은 삽입층의 두께가 증가할수록 넓어진다. 1차 고차모드의 저주파 차단주파수 바로 위의 주파수 구간을 제외하면, 모든 모델에서 기본모드의 스펙트럼 진폭이 1차 고f차모드보다 크다.

  • 상대습도와 $CO_2$ 기체의 실시간 동시 감지가 가능한 표면탄성파(SAW: Surface Acoustic Wave) 기반의 무선, 무전원 센서가 개발되었다. 본 소자는 $41^{\circ}YX\;LiNbO_3$ 기판 위에 만들어졌으며, 반사 지연선의 구조로 이루어져 있다. 본 논문의 반사 지연선은 양방향 감지가 가능한 Interdigital transducer(IDT)와 10개의 리플렉터(reflector)로 이루어져 있다. 감지 필름은 Teflon AF 2400과 친수성의 $SiO_2$층이 이용되었으며, 이는 각각 $CO_2$와 상대 습도의 감지를 담당한다. 소자의 제작에 앞서 최적의 소자 설계 조건들을 도출하기 위해 Couple of mode(COM) 모델링이 실시되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 반영하여 소자의 제작이 진행되었으며, 네트워크 분석기를 이용하여 무선 측정이 실시 되었다. 시간 영역에서 측정된 반사계수 $S_{11}$은 높은 신호 대 잡음 비, 작은 신호 감쇠, 적은 허위 피크를 보였다. 제작된 소자는 각각 $75{\sim}375ppm$$CO_2$ 범위와 $20{\sim}80%$의 상대 습도 범위에서 측정되었으며, 각각 $2^{\circ}/ppm$$CO_2$ 민감도, $7.45^{\circ}/%$의 상대습도에 대한 민감도를 보였고, 좋은 선형성과 반복성을 보였다. 또한 민감도 측정 과정에서 온도와 습도의 보상 과정을 거쳐 더욱 정확한 민감도를 갖도록 하였다.

  • Applying Ismailov and Rossi (2018), I newly construct the Korea FX uncertainty based on the density distribution of historical forecast errors. This uncertainty index properly captures the rare but significant events in the Korean currency market and provides information distinct from other uncertainty measures in recent studies. I show that 1) FX uncertainty arising from unexpected depreciation has a stronger impact on Korea-U.S. exchange rates and that 2) macro variables, such as capital flows or interest rate differentials, have predictive ability regarding Korea FX uncertainty for short horizons. These findings enable us to predict the events of sudden currency crashes and understand the Korea-U.S. exchange rate dynamics.

  • Background: Umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VI; ANORO ELLIPTA, GSK) is a commonly used dual bronchodilator. This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of UMEC/VI in Korean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over a 6-year period. Methods: This was an open-label, multicentre, observational, post-marketing surveillance study. A total of 3,375 patients were enrolled consecutively in 52 hospitals, by 53 physicians, between July 2014 and July 2020. Patients who were administered UMEC/VI (fixed-dose 62.5 ㎍/25 ㎍) at least once and were monitored for safety and effectiveness were included in the analysis. Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) reported after administrating at least one dose of UMEC/VI were monitored, including unexpected adverse events (UAEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Effectiveness of UMEC/VI after 24 weeks of administration was also assessed using physician's evaluation (effective, ineffective/no change, worsening, indeterminable) and lung function improvement. Results: Of 3,375 patients, 3,086 were included in the safety assessment group (mean age±standard deviation: 69.76±8.80 years; 85.9% male [n=2,652]; 73.1% aged ≥65 years [n=2,255]). The overall incidence of AEs was 28.8% (n=890), of which 2.2% (n=67) were ADRs. Serious AEs and UAEs were reported in 181 (5.9%) and 665 (21.6%) patients, respectively, and two patients (<0.1%) reported unexpected severe ADR. Of the 903/3,086 patients analysed for effectiveness, most (82.8%, n=748) showed overall disease improvement after UMEC/VI treatment. Conclusion: This study confirmed UMEC/VI administered to Korean patients according to the prescribing information was well-tolerated and can be considered an effective option for COPD treatment.

  • The paper describes some of the challenges that face the control of nonlinear interconnected power systems. The challenges include the selection of appropriate control and information structures that could range from a completely decentralized to a fully centralized structure. Once a structure is proven to be feasible, the effectiveness of control signals needs to be assessed. Analytical tools are derived for this purpose in the first part of the paper, and they are illustrated with a case study that involves the design of a damping decentralized controller using a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensation device. The second part of the paper deals with the load following and tracking problem through automatic generation control for a system that has been re-structured or deregulated. This problem can be solved using a completely decentralized scheme. It is solved here using fuzzy rules and with an emphasis on compliance with NERC's standards and reduction of wear and tear of the equipment. It is illustrated with a test system that has three interconnected control areas. Finally, comments on the economics of control and the author's vision are presented.
