Supported catalysts are at the heart of manufacturing essential chemical, agricultural and pharmaceutical products. While the longevity of such systems is critically hinged on the durability of metal nanoparticles, the conventional deposition/dispersion techniques are difficult to enhance the stability of the metal nanoparticles due to the lack of control over the interaction between metal-support. Regarding this matter, ex-solution has begun to be recognized as one of the most promising methodologies to develop thermally and chemically robust nanoparticles. By dissolving desired catalysts as a cation form into a parent oxide, fine and uniformly distributed metal nano-catalysts can be subsequently grown in situ under reductive heat treatment, which is referred to ex-solution. Over the several years, ex-solved analog has resulted in tremendous progress in the chemical-electrochemical applications due to the exceptional robustness coupled with ease synthesis. Herein, we describe the ex-solution process in detail which therein introducing the unique characteristics of ex-solved particles that distinguish them from conventionally dispersed nanoparticles. We then go through the history of science regarding the ex-solution phenomena and summarize several major research achievements which embrace the ex-solved nanoparticles to markedly promote the catalytic performances. In conclusion, we address the remaining challenges and the future perspectives of this rapidly growing field.

This paper introduced the RAR(Reinforced Abutment for Railroads) to reduce settlement of transitional zone and horizontal displacement of abutment by constructing backfill before abutment. We expect that it has more economical and better performance which was validated by numerical analyses. First, transitional zone settlements and horizontal displacements of existing abutment were evaluated for various heights and ground conditions by using finite element analysis program. Then, numerical analyses of it under the same conditions were performed and its results were compared with existing abutment's ones. From the numerical analysis, we found that the responses(settlement and horizontal displacement) of transitional zone of the RAR is about 20% and 34% of one of existing abutment due to the effect of backfill stabilizing. We expected that the RAR having small foundations could be economic way to construct abutment with the control of responses such as, settlement, horizontal displacement, and earth pressure.

This study was carried out to test the efficacy of pharmacological inhibitors of the cell cycle transition in keeping bovine oocytes at the germinal vesicle(GV) stage and the reversibility of this inhibition. Bovine oocytes were incubated for 22∼24 hrs in the presence of various inhibitors : cycloheximide (2$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$), 6-DMAP (2 mM), and roscovitine (50$\mu$M). Bovine oocytes cultured with any of the inhibitors were significantly blocked at the GV stage. Reversibility of pharmacological inhibitors was assessed by culturing oocytes an additional 22∼24 hours in inhibitor-free medium. Examination of oocytes revealed that the inhibitory effect was fully reversible and effect of resuming meiotic progression on nuclear maturation varied according to the various inhibitors. This study suggests that cycloheximide, 6-DMAP and roscovitine can be applied to control meiotic arrest and resumption in maturation culture of bovine oocytes in vitro. More investigations are needed to better understand how the cell cycle of oocyte is blocked without problems to future developmental competence.

능동적 학습(active learning)은 제한된 시간과 인력으로 가능한 정확도가 높은 분류기(classifier)를 생성하기 위하여, 훈련집합에 추가할 예제 즉 문의예제(query example)의 선정과 확장된 훈련집합으로 다시 학습하는 과정을 반복하여 수행한다. 능동적 학습의 핵심은 사용자에게 카테고리(category) 부여를 요청할 문의예제를 선정하는 과정에 있다. 효과적인 문의예제를 선정하기 위하여 다양한 방안들이 제안되었으나, 이들은 매 문의단계마다 하나의 문의예제를 선정하는 경우에 가장 적합하도록 고안되었다. 능동적 학습이 복수의 예제를 사용자에게 문의할 수 있다면, 사용자는 문의예제들을 서로 비교해 가면서 작업할 수 있으므로 카테고리 부여작업을 보다 빠르고 정확하게 수행할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 충분한 인력을 보유한 상황에서는, 카테고리 부여작업을 병렬로 처리할 수 있어 전반적인 학습시간의 단축에 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 하지만, 각 예제의 문의예제로써의 적합 정도를 추정하면 유사한 예제들은 서로 비슷한 수준으로 평가되므로, 기존의 방안들을 복수의 문의예제 선정작업에 그대로 적용할 경우, 유사한 예제들이 문의예제로 동시에 선정되어 능동적 학습의 효율이 저하되는 현상이 나타날 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 특정 예제를 문의예제로 선정하면 이와 일정 수준이상 유사한 예제들은 해당 예제와 함께 문의예제로 선정하지 않음으로써, 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 제안한 방안을 문서분류 문제에 적용해 본 결과 기존 문의예제 선정방안으로 복수 문의예제를 선정할 때 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 상당히 완화시킬 있을 뿐 아니라, 복수의 문의예제를 선정하더라도 각 문의 단계마다 하나의 예제를 선정하는 경우에 비해 큰 성능의 저하가 없음을 실험적으로 확인하였다./$m\ell$로 나타났다.TEX>${HCO_3}^-$ 이온의 탈착은 서서히 진행되었다.

Background: Injectable hydrogels have been extensively researched for the use as scaffolds or as carriers of therapeutic agents such as drugs, cells, proteins, and bioactive molecules in the treatment of diseases and cancers and the repair and regeneration of tissues. It is because they have the injectability with minimal invasiveness and usability for irregularly shaped sites, in addition to typical advantages of conventional hydrogels such as biocompatibility, permeability to oxygen and nutrient, properties similar to the characteristics of the native extracellular matrix, and porous structure allowing therapeutic agents to be loaded. Main body: In this article, recent studies of injectable hydrogel systems applicable for therapeutic agent delivery, disease/cancer therapy, and tissue engineering have reviewed in terms of the various factors physically and chemically contributing to sol-gel transition via which gels have been formed. The various factors are as follows: several different non-covalent interactions resulting in physical crosslinking (the electrostatic interactions (e.g., the ionic and hydrogen bonds), hydrophobic interactions, ${\pi}$-interactions, and van der Waals forces), in-situ chemical reactions inducing chemical crosslinking (the Diels Alder click reactions, Michael reactions, Schiff base reactions, or enzyme-or photo-mediated reactions), and external stimuli (temperatures, pHs, lights, electric/magnetic fields, ultrasounds, or biomolecular species (e.g., enzyme)). Finally, their applications with accompanying therapeutic agents and notable properties used were reviewed as well. Conclusion: Injectable hydrogels, of which network morphology and properties could be tuned, have shown to control the load and release of therapeutic agents, consequently producing significant therapeutic efficacy. Accordingly, they are believed to be successful and promising biomaterials as scaffolds and carriers of therapeutic agents for disease and cancer therapy and tissue engineering.

The easiest way to see the phenomena of compressor surge is to show the static and dynamic operation characteristic on the map. Its operation zone will be restricted by the surge limit and, static and transient process must have some margin for it. Effect of rotor moment of inertia, air/gas volumes and heat transfer are factors to cause the transition from the static line. In case a large volume such as heat exchanger exists in the system it will exert a substantial influence to dynamic characteristics. In the present paper, influence of air volume bled from the compressor exit on transient process is investigated with an example of an auxiliary power unit micro-turbine engine. Turbine mass, pressure ratio, rotation speed, power and moment are calculated based on mass and work conservation. Result from the present study can give guidance to design the control system. A computer program is developed to calculate the dynamic process using the MathCAD commercial software.

Harmful shell-boring species of the genus Polydora (Polychaeta: Spionidae) were frequently reported from commercially important mollusk species in Korea, Japan and China. The traditional approach based on the morphological characteristics showed limitations for species discrimination among shell-boring species. Therefore, DNA barcoding was adopted to identify Polydora species using molecular markers. Two Polydora species (P. haswelli and P. hoplura) in abalone shells were reported from our previous molecular phylogenetic study. In this study, we additionally reported the presence of shell-boring Polydora haswelli in commercially sold shellfish. The taxon-specific cox1 marker used in this study successfully allowed the isolation of P. haswelli from cockle Scapharca subcrenata, mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, oyster Crassostrea gigas and scallop Argopecten irradians. Polydora hoplura was not found in these shellfish species. The genetic variations were found on the intraspecific level of P. haswelli and the same genotype was also detected in different shellfish species. This result can provide information on a new host and accurate parasitic Polydora species. Moreover, this report can be used as the biodiversity data of Polydora species on the invasion and transition of harmful Polydora species in mollusk aquaculture farms.

Objective: As the number of sarcopenic patients worldwide is increasing, the need for the treatment of sarcopenia is increasing. Ginseng has been reported to be a major herbal supplement. We tested whether red ginseng would be effective for sarcopenia using red ginseng preparation which can be easily obtained locally in Korea. Methods: 30 rats were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (n=10) (Group C), the group with Dexamethasone -induced sarcopenia (n=10) (Group D), and the group to which red ginseng was administered group after induced sarcopenia with Dexamethasone (n=10) (Group DH). Dexamethasone was intraperitoneally administered to group D and group DH for 7 days to make sarcopenic model. After that, the red ginseng tablets prepared by Korea Ginseng Corporation were diluted in distilled water and administered orally to the DH group for 2 weeks. Body weight and grip strength were measured 8 times during the experiment. At the end of the experiment, blood was collected by cardiac puncture. In addition, the tibialis muscle was extracted, a myofibril cross section was measured by immunohistochemical staining and MyHC (myosin heavy chain) was quantified by Western blotting. Results: The ratio of the area on myofibril cross-section showed significant differences after administration of the red ginseng tablet. Conclusions: Red ginseng has a significant effect on the recovery of myofibril cross-section on sarcopenia. This experiment will be helpful for future clinical studies on drug effects in sarcopennia.

Damaurone D belongs to the genus Rosa and is a traditional medicinal product used for the treatment of depression, inflammation, and infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the detection of damaurone D in rat plasma and to demonstrate its application in pharmacokinetic studies. Damaurone D and berberine (internal standard) were extracted with acetonitrile using a protein precipitation method. Mass transition was monitored in multiple reaction monitoring mode at m/z $323.2{\rightarrow}267.0$ for damaurone D and m/z $336.1{\rightarrow}320.0$ for berberine in positive ion mode. Analytical validation was conducted by evaluating the specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, matrix effect, extraction recovery, and stability. The calibration curves were linear over 2-1000 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy of quality control samples were 4.79-13.33% and 86.23-102.75%, respectively. The matrix effect and extraction recovery were 96.11-98.47% and 96.11-102.25%, respectively. In the pharmacokinetic study after intravenous administration of damaurone D at a dose of 3 mg/kg in rats, the area under the curve and clearance of damaurone D in rat plasma were $16750.26{\pm}2676.10min{\cdot}ng/mL$ and $182.44{\pm}31.36mL/min/kg$, respectively.
