A dense pellicular solid matrix has been fabricated by coating 4% agarose gel on to dense zironia-silica(ZS) spheres by watr-in-oil emulsification . The agarose evenly laminated the ZS bead to a depth of 30㎛, and the resultin gpellicular assembly was characterised by densities up to 2.39g/mL and a mean particle dimeter of 136 ㎛. In comparative fluidisation tests, the pellicular solid phase exhibited a two-fold greater flow velocity than commercial benchmark ad-sorbents necessary to achieve common values of bed expansion. Furthermore, the perlicular parti-cles were characterised by improved qualities of chromatographic behaviour, particularly with re-spect to a three-fold increase in the apparent effective diffusivity of lysozyme within a pellicular assembly modified with Cibacron Blue 3GA. The properties of rapid protein adsorption/desorp-tion were attributed to the physical design and pellicular deployment of the reactive surface in the solid phase. When combined with enhanced feedstock throughput, such practical advantages recommend the pellicular assembly as a base matrix for the selective recovery of protein products from complex, particulate feedstocks(whole fermentation broths, cell disruptates and biological extracts).

Most tissue engineering strategies for creating functional replacement tissues or organs rely on the application of temporary three-dimensional scaffolds to guide the proliferation and spread of seeded cells in vitro and in vivo. Scaffolds should be satisfied following requirements; macrostructure to promote cell proliferation, pore interconnectivity, pore size ranging from 200 to $400{\mu}m$, surface chemistry and mechanical properties. Rapid prototyping techniques have often been used as an useful process that fabricates scaffolds with complex structures. In this study, a new process to fabricate a three-dimensional scaffolds using bio-compatible polymer has been developed. It employs a highly accurate three-dimensional positioning system with pressure-controlled syringe to deposit biopolymer structures. The pressure-activated microsyringe is equipped with fine-bore nozzles of various inner-diameters. In order to examine relationships between line width and process parameters such as nozzle height, applied pressure, and speed of needle, experiments were carried out. Based on the experimental results, three-dimensional scaffold was fabricated using the apparatus. It shows the validity of the proposed process.

Hydrogen was generated by the reaction of metal hydride with water. The variation of hydrogen generation with the kind of powders (milled $MgH_2$, and $MgH_2$ milled with various contents of MgO, $MgCl_2$ or $Ni+Nb_2O_5$) was investigated. $MgH_2$ powder with a hydrogen content of 6.05 wt% from Aldrich Company was used. Hydrogen is generated by the reaction of Mg as well as $MgH_2$ with water, resulting in the formation of byproduct $Mg(OH)_2$. For about 5 min of reaction time, milled $95%MgH_2+5%MgO$ has the highest hydrogen generation rate among milled $MgH_2+x%MgO$ (x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) samples. Milled $90%MgH_2+10%MgCl_2$ has the highest hydrogen generation rate among all the samples.

The aim of this study was to fabricate a dextran polyelectrolyte multi-layer on a bare metal stent (BMS) and to evaluate bio-physical properties of the layer. Diethylaminoethyl-dextran (DEAE-D) as a polycation and dextran sulfate (DS) as a polyanion were successively coated on the bare metal stent by a well-known layer-by-layer procedure. The morphology of the stent surface and its cell adhesion were studied after each coating step by scanning electron microscopy. The stent showed more blotched and slightly rougher morphology after dextran-DS coating. The contact angle of the DEAE-DS group ($39.5{\pm}0.15^{\circ}$) was significantly higher than that of the BMS group ($45.16{\pm}0.08^{\circ}$), indicating the improvement of hydrophilic. The SMC proliferation inhibition in the DEAE-DS-coated stent group ($20.9{\pm}0.04%$) was stronger than that in the control group ($21.7{\pm}0.10%$ in DS-coated group only). The DEAE-DS coating is desired for stent coating materials with biocompatibility and anti-restenosis effect.

The vibration of microtubule in human cells is the source of electrical field around it and inside cell structure. The induction of electrical field is a direct result of the existence of dipoles on the surface of the microtubules. Measuring the electrical fields could be performed using nano-scale sensors and the data could be transformed to other computers using internet of things (IoT) technology. Processing these data is feasible by artificial intelligence-based methods. However, the first step in analyzing the vibrational behavior is to study the mechanics of microtubules. In this regard, the vibrational behavior of the microtubules is investigated in the present study. A shell model is utilized to represent the microtubules' structure. The displacement field is assumed to obey first order shear deformation theory and classical theory of elasticity for anisotropic homogenous materials is utilized. The governing equations obtained by Hamilton's principle are further solved using analytical method engaging Navier's solution procedure. The results of the analytical solution are used to train, validate and test of the deep neural network. The results of the present study are validated by comparing to other results in the literature. The results indicate that several geometrical and material factors affect the vibrational behavior of microtubules.

나노입자의 응용은 1970년대부터 발전되어 왔다. 금속 나노입자에 빛을 조사하면 나노입자 표면에서 플라즈몬 공명(SPR, surface plasmon resonance)을 일으킨다. SPR 효과는 금속표면에 입사한 빛에너지에 의해 전자가 여기하며 공명을 일으켜 진동을 발생시키는 현상을 말한다. 여기 된 전자들이 금속원자들과 충돌을 일으키며 열에너지로 전환될 수 있는데 이를 금속의 광열효과(photothermal effect)라고 한다. 우리는 광열 효과를 이용하여 온열 화장품의 개발 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 온열 화장품의 개발을 위해 생체 독성이 적은 금 나노입자를 선택하여 광열 효과에 있어서의 세포 생체적합성과 열효율을 살펴보았다. 금 나노입자의 합성 상태는 금 나노입자가 갖는 독특한 흡광 스펙트럼으로 확인하였으며, 금 나노입자의 농도는 원자 흡광분석기로 측정하였다. 세포의 독성평가는 MTT assay와 이중 염색법을 사용하였으며, 금 나노입자의 광열 효과는 제논 램프를 광원으로 하여 금 나노입자의 농도의 증가에 따른 광열 효과증대를 적외선-열화상 카메라로 확인하였다. 금 나노입자의 광열 효과를 온열 화장품에 적용한다면 한대 지방의 기후, 또는 겨울철에 태양 에너지를 열에너지로 전환시켜 피부에 손실된 열을 공급, 피부온도 유지에 도움이 되고 피부건강에 긍정적 효과를 주리라 사료된다.

[ $LiFePO_4$ ] is one of the promising materials for cathode material of secondary lithium batteries due to its high energy density, low cost, environmental friendliness and safety. $LiFePO_4$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method at 500 - 800°C. The crystal structure of $LiFePO_4$ was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction. The samples synthesized at 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ showed a single phase of a olivine structure. The particle sizes were increased and the specific surface areas were decreased with heating temperatures. The electrochemical performance was investigated by coin cell test. The discharge capacities at 0.1 C-rate were 118 mAh/g and 112 mAh/g at $600^{\circ}C,\;700^{\circ}C$, respectively. In an attempt to improve the electrical conductivity of cathode materials, $LiFePO_4/graphite$ composite was prepared with various graphite contents. The electrical conductivity and discharge capacity were increased with increasing the graphite contents in composite samples. The rate capabilities at high current densities were also improved.

시판되는 보리차 3종(티백형 2종 알곡형 1종)이 우식유발 세균인 Streptococcus mutans와Streptococcus sobrinus가 타액피복 수산화인회석에 부착되는 정도와 이들 세균의 체표소수성에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다. 모든 실험군에서 보리차로 처리하였을 때 수산화인회석에의 부착능과 세균의 체표소수성은 감소하였고 이 값은 보리차의 종류와 처리방법에 따라 상이하였다. 이러한 결과는 보리차에 함유된 활성성분인 catechins와 melanoidins의 영향 때문인 것으로 추측되며 보리차로 전 처리한 수산화인회석에 세균이 부착하는 정도가 감소한 것은 활성물질이 흡착되어 치아표면의 수용체가 세균의 부착소와 작용하는 것을 방해함으로써 치아우식증 병인론의 초기 단계인 부착에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구결과 보리차가 우식유발 세균의 주요 독력인자 중 하나인 부착능을 억제하므로 보리차가 이러한 세균이 일으키는 치아우식증을 억제할 수도 있다는 가능성을 보여준다.

We investigated characteristics of ITO/Ag-Pd-Cu (APC)/ITO multilayer electrodes prepared by direct current magnetron sputtering for use as an anode in organic solar cells (OSCs). To optimize electrical properties of ITO/APC/ITO multilayer, we fabricated the ITO/APC/ITO multilayer at a fixed ITO thickness of 30 nm as a function of APC thickness. Compare to the surface of Ag layer on ITO, the APC had a smooth surface morphology. At optimized APC thickness of 12 nm, the ITO/APC/ITO multilayer exhibited a sheet resistance of $6{\Omega}/square$ and optical transmittance of 84.15% at a wavelength of 550 nm which is comparable to conventional ITO/Ag/ITO multilayer. However, the APC-based ITO multilayer showed a higher average transmittance in a visible region than the Ag-based ITO multilayer. The higher average transmittance of ITO/APC/ITO multilayer indicated the multilayer is suitable anode for organic solar cells with P3HT:PCBM active layer. OSCs fabricated on the optimized ITO/ACP/ITO multilayer exhibited a better performance with a fill factor of 64.815%, a short circuit current of $8.107mA/cm^2$, an open circuit voltage of 0.59 V, and power conversion efficiency (3.101%) than OSC with ITO/Ag/ITO multilayer (2.8%).
