The grain growth behavior in the (1-x)K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃-xCaZrO₃ (KNNCZ-x) system is studied as a function of the amount of CZ and grain shape. The (1-x)K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃-xCaZrO₃ (KNNCZ-x) powders are synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method. A single orthorhombic phase is observed at x = 0 - 0.03. However, rhombohedral and orthorhombic phases are observed at x = 0.05. The grain growth behavior changes from abnormal grain growth to the suppression of grain growth as the amount of CaZrO₃ (CZ) increases. With increasing CZ content, grains become more faceted, and the step-free energy increases. Therefore, the critical growth driving force increases. The grain size distribution broadens with increasing sintering time in KNNCZ-0.05. As a result, some large grains with a driving force larger than the critical driving force for growth exhibit abnormal grain growth behavior during sintering. Therefore, CZ changes the grain growth behavior and microstructure of KNN. Grain growth at the faceted interface of the KNNCZ system occurs via two-dimensional nucleation and growth.

Background and Objectives: The influence of music training on different areas of the brain has been extensively researched, but the underlying neurobehavioral mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, the effects of training for more than three years in Carnatic music (an Indian form of music) on the discrimination ability of different areas of the brain were tested using P300 analysis at three electrode placement sites. Subjects and Methods: A total of 27 individuals, including 13 singers aged 16-30 years (mean±standard deviation, 23±3.2 years) and 14 non-singers aged 16-30 years (mean age, 24±2.9 years), participated in this study. The singers had 3-5 years of formal training experience in Carnatic music. Cortical activities in areas corresponding to attention, discrimination, and memory were tested using P300 analysis, and the tests were performed using the Intelligent Hearing System. Results: The mean P300 amplitude of the singers at the Fz electrode placement site (5.64±1.81) was significantly higher than that of the non-singers (3.85±1.60; t(25)=3.3, p<0.05). The amplitude at the Cz electrode placement site in singers (5.90±2.18) was significantly higher than that in non-singers (3.46±1.40; t(25)=3.3, p<0.05). The amplitude at the Pz electrode placement site in singers (4.94±1.89) was significantly higher than that in non-singers (3.57±1.50; t(25)=3.3, p<0.05). Among singers, the mean P300 amplitude was significantly higher in the Cz site than the other placement sites, and among non-singers, the mean P300 amplitude was significantly higher in the Fz site than the other placement sites, i.e., music training facilitated enhancement of the P300 amplitude at the Cz site. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that more than three years of training in Carnatic singing can enhance neural coding to discriminate subtle differences, leading to enhanced discrimination abilities of the brain, mainly in the generation site corresponding to Cz electrode placement.

본 연구에서는 DME 직접 합성을 위한 혼성촉매가 두 가지 방법으로 제조되었으며, 이들의 촉매적 활성이 조사되었다. DME 합성을 위한 혼성촉매는 메탄올 합성과 메탄올 탈수반응에 촉매적 활성을 가진 성분들로 제조되었다. 메탄올 합성촉매는 Cu와 Zn이 함유된 전구물질로부터 합성되었으며, 메탄올 탈수촉매는 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$를 이용하였다. 두 촉매는 물리혼합법과 침전법에 의해서 혼성촉매로 제조되었다. 물리혼합법은 두 촉매를 분말상태에서 혼합하는 것이며, 침전법은 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매상에 Cu-Zn 또는 Cu-Zn-Al 성분을 퇴적시키는 방법이다. 제조된 촉매의 물리적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 X선 회절법에 의한 결정구조, 질소흡착에 의한 BET 표면적, $N_2O$ 화학흡착에 의한 Cu의 표면적 그리고 주사전자현미경에 의한 표면형상 등이 조사되었다. 또한 이들 혼성촉매의 촉매적 활성은 여러 가지 반응조건을 변화시키면서 조사되었다. 이때 반응온도는 $250{\sim}290^{\circ}C$, 반응압력은 30~70 atm, $[H_2]/[CO]$ 몰비는 0.5~2.0, 그리고 공간속도는 $1,500{\sim}6,000 h^{-1}$ 촉매활성이 조사되었다. 반응성 실험 결과로부터 침전법으로 제조된 혼성촉매(CP-CZA/D)가 물리혼합법으로 제조된 혼성촉매(PM-CZ+D)보다 우수한 반응성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 반응 온도, 압력, $[H_2]/[CO]$ 비, 공간속도가 각각 $260^{\circ}$, 50 atm, 1.0, $3,000h^{-1}$인 조건에서 침전법에 의해 제조된 촉매의 CO 전화율이 72%로 물리혼합법으로 제조된 촉매보다 약 20% 이상 높았다. $N_2O$ 화학흡착실험으로부터 Cu 표면적을 측정한 결과, PM-CZ+D 혼성촉매보다 CP-CZA/D 혼성촉매의 Cu 표면적이 더 높았다. 그러므로 침전법으로 제조된 혼성촉매상의 Cu입자가 더 잘 분산되었기 때문에 촉매의 활성이 개선된 것으로 판단된다.

A novel class of conjugated dendritic molecules bearing N-hexyl-substituted carbazoles as peripheral groups and various conjugative aromatic cores was synthesized through Heck coupling and the Horner-Emmons reaction. A multilayered structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS (30 nm)/emitting material (50 nm)/BCP (10 nm)/$Alq_3$ (10 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) was employed to evaluate the synthesized dendritic materials. The electroluminescence spectrum of the multilayered device made of 3Cz predominantly exhibited blue emissions. Similar emissions were observed in the PL spectra of it's the device's thin film. The multilayered devices made of 3Cz, 3BCz, and 4BCz showed luminance values of 6,250 cd $m^{-2}$ at 24 V, 3,000 cd $m^{-2}$ at 25 V, and 1,970 cd $m^{-2}$ at 36 V, respectively. The smallest molecule, 3Cz, which bore three carbazole peripheral groups, exhibited a blue-like emission with CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates of x = 0.17 and y = 0.21.

The carrier lifetime of boron doped Cz silicon samples after light induced degradation could be improved by optimized rapid thermal processing (RTP). The important five different parameters varied in order to investigate which parameter is important for the stable lifetime after light induced degradation, $\tau_d$. The Plateau temperature and the Plateau time influenced on the lifetime after light induced degradation. Especially, the Plateau temperature showed a strong influence on the stable lifetime. The optimal plateau temperature is approximately $900^{\circ}C$ t for a plateau time of 120 s. The stable lifetime increased from $15\mu}s$ to $25.5{\mu}s$. The normalized defect concentration, $N_t^*$, decreased from $0.06{\mu}s^{-1}$ to $0.037{\mu}s^{-1}$ by RTP-process.

Our previous study demonstrated that methanolic extract of Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitamura (Compositae) has the potential to induce detoxifying enzymes such as NAD(P)H:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductase 1 (EC 1.6.99.2) (NQO1, QR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). In this study we further fractionated methanolic extract of Chrysanthemum zawadskii and investigated the detoxifying enzyme-inducing potential of each fraction. The fraction (CZ-6) shown the highest QR-inducing activity was found to contain (+)-(3S,4S,5R,8S)-(E)-8-acetoxy-4-hydroxy-3-isovaleroyloxy-2-(hexa-2,4-diynyliden)-1,6-dioxaspiro [4,5] decane and increased QR enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, CZ-6 fraction caused a dose-dependent enhancement of luciferase activity in HepG2-C8 cells generated by stably transfecting antioxidant response element-luciferase gene construct, suggesting that it induces antioxidant/detoxifying enzymes through antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated transcriptional activation of the relevant genes. Although CZ-6 fraction failed to induce hepatic QR in mice over the control, it restored QR activity suppressed by $CCl_4$ treatment to the control level. Hepatic injury induced by $CCl_4$ was also slightly protected by pretreatment with CZ-6. In conclusion, although CZ-6 fractionated from methanolic extract of Chrysanthemum zawadskii did not cause a significant QR induction in mice organs such as liver, kidney, and stomach, it showed protective effect from liver damage caused by $CCl_4$.

Fifty-one strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from various clinical specimens. Among them, 26 (51%) strains were gentamicin-resistant (Gm') and 25 (49%) were susceptible to gentamicin (Gm'). The frequencies of resistant strains to piperacillin (Pi), cefotaxime, moxalactam, cefoperazone (Cz), and amikacin (Ak) ranged from 21.6 to 31.4%, and $MIC_{50}$ of these drugs were lower than the critical concentrations of susceptibility and resistance. Thirty (58.8%) strains were multiply resistant to 12 or more drugs. All Gm' strains were multiply resistant to 12 or more drugs and one was resistant to all 18 drugs tested, while only four Gm' strains were multiply resistant to 12 drugs and the multiplicity of resistance of the other Gm' strains were less than 10 drugs. Resistance to Gm appeared to have a significant correlation with the resistance to tobramycin (Tb), Ak, Pi, and Cz. All Gm' strains were resistant to Tb and about 38.4 to 46.1% of them were resistant to Ak, Pi, and Cz. The incorporation of $Ca^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ ions in Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) did not influence the MICs of Gm, Tb, carbenicillin (Cb), Pi, and Cz as compared with the results obtained in MHA without these ions. Gm strains were studied on the combined effect of beta-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides by the methods of checkerboard and modified paper strip diffusion. Most Gm' strains showed significant synergistic effects by the FIC index between Ak and three beta-lactam antibiotics; Cb, Pi, and Cz, but these results did not in agreement the results obtained through the method of modified paper strip diffusion test. In order to know the nature of the drug resistance of P. aernginosa, the plasmid profile analysis was studied. Agarose gel electrophoresis of lysates processed by the method of Kado and Liu showed one or more plasmids in 22 (43.1%) strains. A group of 19 strains showed at least one band of plasmid and three strains two bands. The range of the molecular weight of plasmids was 3.8 to 243 Mdal. All strains carrying large plasmids larger than 200 Mdal were isolated from wound specimens. Three Gm' strains also harboured the plasm ids of 13 to 203 Mdal.
