  • Crossover of nitrogen from cathode to anode is inevitable in typical membranes used in PEM fuel cells. This crossovered nitrogen normally accumulates in the hydrogen recirculation system at anode side channels. Excessive buildup of nitrogen in the anode side lowers the relative hydrogen concentration and finally affects the performance of fuel cell stack. So it is very important to analysis the nitrogen gas crossover at various operating conditions. In this study, characterization of nitrogen gas crossover in PEM fuel cell stack was investigated. The mass spectroscopy (MS) has been applied to measure the amount of the crossovered nitrogen gas at the anode exit. Results show that nitrogen gas crossover rate was affected by current density, anode and cathode stoichiometric ratio and operating pressure. Current density, anode stoichiometric ratio and anode operating pressure do not affect nitrogen crossover rate but anode exit concentration of nitrogen. Cathode pressure and stoichiometric ratio largely affect the nitrogen crossover rate.

  • Chicken calvarial bone is known to contain various cell types, but their exact composition is unknown. By characterizing the chicken calvarial bone biochemically, it can be used to study biochemical, histochemical actions of bone cells in general. Calvaria of 18-day-old white leg horn embryo was aseptically dissected and bone cell populations were isolated by sequential enzymatic digestion. Histochemical study for osteoclast-like bone cell. population was performed with tartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP) stain and for osteoblast-like bone cell population, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) stain was performed. Biochemical study for osteoblast-like bone cell population was performed using alkaline phosphatase(ALP) assay. Following conclusions were obtained from this study. 1. TRAP positive multi and mononuclear cells were mostly observed in group I and II, indicating that osteoclast-like bone cell population is mostly found in these groups. 2. All the cultured groups showed almost equal ALP activities and were positive for ALP stain, indicating that osteoblast-like bone cell population is evenly dispersed in all culture groups. 3. Experimental group treated with $1,25(OH)_{2}D_3$ showed increase in ALP activity in contrast to the control group, confirming previous studies that $1,25(OH)_{2}D_3$ increases ALP activities in in vitro bone cultures. 4. Results from von Kossa's stain indicated that in vitro bone formation had occured after 3 weeks of culture with beta-glycero phosphate.

  • The stem cell research is emerging as a cutting edge topic for a new treatment for many chronic diseases. Recently, dental stem cell would be possible for regeneration of tooth itself as well as periodontal tissue. However, the study of the cell characterization is scarce. Therefore, we performed the genetic profiling and the characterization of mouse fetus/neonate derived dental tissue and cell to find the identification during dental development. We separated dental arch from mandibles of 14.5 d fetal mice and neonate 0 d under the stereoscope, and isolated dental cells primarily from the tissues. Then, we examined morphology and the gene expression profiles of the primary cells and dental tissues from fetus/neonate and adult with RT-PCR. Primary dental cells showed heterogeneous but the majority was shown as fibroblast-like morphology. The change of population doubling time levels (PDLs) showed that the primary dental cells have growth potential and could be expanded under our culture conditions without reduction of growth rate. Immunocytochemical and flow cytometric analyses were performed to characterize the primary dental cell populations from both of fetus (E14.5) and neonate. Alpha smooth muscle actin (${\alpha}-SMA$), vimentin, and von Willebrand factor showed strong expression, but desmin positive cells were not detected in the primary dental cells. Most of the markers were not uniformly expressed, but found in subsets of cells, indicating that the primary dental cell population is heterogeneous, and characteristics of the populations were changed during culture period. And mesenchymal stem cell markers were highly expressed. Gene expression profile showed Wnt family and its related signaling molecules, growth factors, transcription factors and tooth specific molecules were expressed both fetal and neonatal tissue. The tooth specific genes (enamelin, amelogenin, and DSPP) only expressed in neonate and adult stage. These expression patterns appeared same as primary fetal and neonatal cells. In this study we isolated primary cells from whole mandible of fetal and neonatal mice. And we investigated the characteristics of the primary cells and the profile of gene expressions, which are involved in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during tooth development. Taken together, the primary dental cells in early passages or fetal and neonatal mandibles could be useful stem cell resources.

  • 벼(Oryza sativa L. cv. Kye Hwa) 성숙종자에서 유도한 배발생 세포(embryogenic cell, EC)의 동위효소 발현양상과 효소활성을 조사하였다. 배발생 캘러스로부터 확립된 EC 현탁배양은 세포가 둥글며 세포질이 충만한 세포들로 이루어졌으나 비배발생 세포(nonembryogenic cell, NEC)의 현탁배양은 크게 신장한 액포화된 세포들로 구성되었다. 이러한 EC와 NEC의 peroxidase, esterase, acid phosphatase 그리고 malate dehydrogenase의 동위효소 양상과 활성도를 분석한 결과 밴드의 수와 특이성 그리고 밴드 활성 등에 현저한 차이를 보여주었으며 또한 이들 동위효소의 효소 활성도 측정 결과 EC에서 훨씬 더 높게 나타났다. NEC에는 나타나지 않은 EC의 특이 밴드와 강한 밴드 활성 그리고 높은 효소 활성 등은 EC의 형태적, 분화능과의 관련성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 결과들은 이들 효소의 특이 밴드들이 벼에서 EC의 생화학적 표지자로서 사용될 수 있음을 내포하고 있다.

  • 기존의 셀 특성 분석은 다중 입력 변화를 고려하지 않고 셀 특성 분석을 수행한다. 다중 입력 변화가 시간적 근접성에 따라 게이트 지연 시간에 미치는 영향이 커지면서, 기존의 셀 특성 분석으로는 정확한 게이트 지연 시간을 예측하기가 어려워지게 되었다. 다중 입력 변화의 영향으로 인하여 게이트 지연 시간이 최대 46%까지 차이가 나는 것을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 다중 입력 변화의 시간적 근접성으로 인한 지연 시간 변화를 고려한 게이트 지연 시간 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 Radial Basis Function (RBF)을 이용하여 지연 시간 변화량을 계산한다. 제안된 방법이 다중 입력 변화가 발생하였을 때, 보다 정확하게 게이트 지연 시간을 예측하는 것을 실험결과를 통하여 확인하였다.
