The effects of cold plasma (CP) treatments on the physicochemical and biodegradable properties of a corn biomass-containing polyester (CBPE) film were studied. The CBPE film was treated with CP generated by $N_2$, $O_2$, He, Ar, or dry air at 400-900 W and 667 Pa for 10-40 min. The glass transition temperature of the CBPE film ($-30.2--28.6^{\circ}C$) was not affected by the CP treatment, while the elastic modulus and water vapor permeability decreased (p<0.05). The ink printability was improved by the treatment and the improved printability was maintained during storage for 56 days at room temperature. Roughness of the film increased after treatments and the level of roughness appeared to increase during storage. Heat and microbial biodegradability of the CBPE film was improved by the air-CP treatment (p<0.05). These results have demonstrated the potential of applying CP treatments to improve the flexibility, printability, and biodegradability of CBPE films.

Metalhydrides such as $Cp(CO)_{2}(L)MH$ (L = t-butylisocyanide and 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide M = Mo and W) have been synthesized and used for ionic hydrogenation of the carbonyl groups in the presence of triflic acid. When these complexes have also used as catalyst precursors for hydrogenation of 3-pentanone under mild conditions ($23^{\circ}C,\;<4.1\;atm H_{2}$). The turnover rates were very slow, with the fastest initial rate of about 2 turnovers per 1 day for the [$Cp(CO)_{2}(ArNC)Mo][BA_{r}^{F}_{4}$] system.

A cDNA clone encoding chloroplast triosephosphate isomerase (TPI-cp) was isolated from strawberry fruit cDNA library. Sequence analyses indicated that the cDNA contains an open reading frame of 314 amino acids (33.5 kDa) composed of a transit peptide (59 amino acids) in amino terminal region and mature protein (255 amino acids). The existence of transit peptide in the deduced amino acid sequence implies that it encodes a chloroplast isoform. The protein sequence is more similar to other plant chloroplast isoforms than cytosolic isoforms. RNA blot analysis indicated that its expression is ubiquitous in examined five tissues, flowers, leaves, petioles, roots and fruits, and shows differential pattern according to fruit ripening. Genomic DNA blot analysis showed that TPI-cp is encoded by multiple genes in strawberry. Through sequence comparison and phylogenetic tree construction, TPI-cp is distinctively grouped into dicot and chloroplast isoforms.

We have fabricated blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) using a 3,5'-N,N'-dicarbazole-benzene (mCP) host and iridium (III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,$C^{2'}$] picolinate (Flrpic) guest materials, The Flrpic was partially doped into the mCP host layer, for investigating recombination zone, current efficiency, and emission characteristics of the blue PHOLEDs. The recombination of electrons and holes takes place inside the mCP layer adjacent to the mCP/hole blocking layer interface. The best current efficiency was obtained in a device with an emission layer structure of mCP (10 nm)/mCP:Flrpic (20 nm, 10%). The high current efficiency in this device was attributed to the confinement of Ffrpic triplet excitons by the undoped mCP layer with high triplet energy, which blocks diffusion of Ffrpic excitons to the adjacent hole transport layer with a lower triplet energy.

The coat protein (CP) of Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) was analyzed for presentation of the antigenic peptide of animal virus, Canine parvovirus (CPV), in Escherichia coli (E. coli). The 45 nucleotides fragment coding for the 15-aa peptide epitope of the CPV-VP2 protein was either inserted into the PRSV-cp gene at the 5', 3' ends, both 5' and 3' ends or substituted into the 3' end of the PRSV cp gene. Each of the chimeric PRSV cp genes was cloned into the pRSET B vector under the control of the T7 promoter and transformed into E. coli. The recombinant coat proteins expressed from different chimeric PRSV-cp genes were purified and intraperitoneally injected into mice. All of the recombinant coat proteins showed strong immunogenicity and stimulate mice immune response. The recombinant coat proteins containing the CPV epitope insertion at the C terminus and at both N and C termini elicited ten times higher specific antisera in immunized mice compared with the other two recombinant coat proteins which contain the CPV epitope insertion at the N terminus and substitution at the C terminus.

New silicon-monosubstituted (${\eta}^4$-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-l-silacyclopentadiene)transi tion metal complexes are described. (7-Alkyl-7-silanorbornadienyl)MLn(Alkyl=Methyl: MLn=CpRu$(CO)_2$: Alkyl=Methyl: MLn=CpNi(CO): Alkyl=Ethyl: MLn=CpNi(CO)) complexes were prepared from the corresponding silole-transition metal complexes with dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate. Cycloaddition products were obtained with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, 2,3-butanedione, and 1,4-benzoquinone through the ruthenium-substituted silylene. We have determined the crystal structure of (1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-l-silacyclopentadien yl)cyclopentadienyldicarbonylruthenium by using graphite monochromated Mo-Ka radiation. The compound was crystallized in the monoclinic space group $P2_{1/c}$ with a = 9.838(l), b = 15.972(3), c = 18.327(3) ${\AA}$, and ${\beta}= 94.28(l)^{circ}$. The ruthenium moiety CpRu$(CO)_2$ on silicon is in an axial position.

Ab initio calculations with various basis sets have been carried out to investigate the geometries and ring inversion barrier of $R_2TiC_3H_6\;and\;R_2TiS_3$, R=Cp and Cl. Optimized geometries of $R_2TiC_3H_6$ showed the four membered ring was planar on Cs symmetry. However, $R_2TiS_3$ complexes were optimized to be stable in the puckered form. The smallest Basis III with STO-3G on Cp ligands gave reasonable results for the calculations of metallocene. The energy barrier for the ring inversion of metallacyclosulfanes, $Cp_2TiS_3$ was computed to be 8.72 kcal/mol at MP2 level. For the Cl system, we reproduced the molecular structure and ring inversion energy with Basis V.

Human Disabled-2 (Dab2) is a candidate tumor suppressor gone that regulates cell growth by c-Fos suppression in normal cells. In many cancer cells, Dab2 expression is lost or greatly diminished in $\∼85\%$ of the breast and ovarian cancers. In this study, we have examined the methylation status of CpG island on Dab2 gene promoter using bisulfite-assisted genomic sequencing and methylation specific PCR (MSP) method in human breast cancer cell line, MDA MB-231 cells. In normal human uterus endometrial cells, Dab2 was completely unmethylated. In contrast, Dab2 was methylated on CpG dinucleotides near the TATA_ box in MDA MB-231 cells. following MDA MB-231 cells by treatment with 5-azacytidine, Dab2 gene were demethylated and reexpressed. Result of this study suggested that silencing of Dab2 gene is correlated to CpG island methylation in human breast cancer cell line, MBA MD-231 cells.

Free amino acids and polysaccharide content of submerged mycelial culture of Fomitopsis pinicola using $2\%$ citrus peel water extracts(CP), $2\%$ green tea water extracts(GT) and yeast-malt broth(YM) were investigated. Cultivations were conducted at $30^{\circ}C$ and 150 rpm for 10 days. Yields of the mycelium as fresh weight basis in GT-, CP- and YM-broth were $42.3\%,\;34.2\%\;and\;9.89\%$, and their turbidity(OD at 660 nm) of the broth without mycelium were 0.14, 0.16 and 0.22, respectively. Total free amino acid content in the mycelium were 928.19 $mg\%$ in YM, 1060.53 $mg\%$ in CP, 764.83 $mg\%$ in GT, and the major free amino acid was lysine in YM, glutamic acid in CP and GT. Total free exo-amino acid contents were 659.75 $mg\%$ in YM, 954.55 $mg\%$ in CP, 838.69 $mg\%$ in GT, and the major in the all broths was glutamic acid Total amino acid derivatives content of the mycelium were in order of CP>GT>YM, and the major was cystathionine in YM, hydroxy proline in CP and GT. The major among exo-amino derivatives was hydroxy proline in the all broth. Exo-AIS content was in order of CP>GT>YM. Acid soluble polysaccharide content of the mycelium was GT($0.69\%$)>YM($0.39\%$)>CP($0.18\%$). The exo-polysaccharide content was in order of GT($0.87\%$)>CP($0.69\%$)>YM($0.09\%$). Alkali soluble polysaccharide content of the mycelium was in order of CP($5.21\%$)>GT($5.18\%$)>YM($4.56\%$), and exo-polysaccharide was in order of GT($6.79\%$)>YM($3.57\%$)>CP($3.01\%$).

ALD와 CVD 공정을 진행 하는데 있어서 전구체의 평가 및 실시간 분해과정을 확인 하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 고유전 산화막에 쓰이는 Cyclopentadienyl Tris (dimethylamino) Zirconium, CpZr(NMe2)3 전구체의 증기압 특성과 FTIR, QMS를 활용하여 $250^{\circ}C$ 온도구간 에서의 분해과정을 실시간으로 측정 하였다. CpZr(NMe2)3의 Atomic mass 는 288 amu이며 증기압은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 0.075 Torr로 측정되었다. 온도가 증가 함에 따라 FTIR 에서 CH3 symmetric stretch (2776 cm-1), CH3 symmetric stretch (2865 cm-1) intensity가 줄어 들게 되었으며 QMS에서도 15 amu (Methyl)의 신호가 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소함을 확인 할수 있었다. QMS에서 Cp의 이온전류가 사라진 이유는 Cp가 모체인 CpZr에서 모두 다 분리되었고 신호가 없어 졌기 때문이다. 본 연구를 통해서 FTIR 단독으로는 얻을수 없는 온도에 따른 세부적인 분해과정을 QMS로 실시간 측정 함으로서 FTIR의 분석 결과와 산호보완 할수 있게 되었다.
